Chapter 136: The Root of the Plague
"Mr. Mo, are you sure what you just said?" Ye Ningxiang was shocked, and her heart was full of doubts.
"Sure. If you don't believe it, you can send someone to find out what's in the water. ”
Looking at Rumo's determined gaze, Ye Ningxiang couldn't sit still any longer, and directly summoned all the doctors in the Assassin's Mansion, and ordered someone to bring a bucket of water from the only well in the mansion.
"I know that what I am telling you to do next may be a little difficult, but for the sake of the people of Rinzhou, for us to live a long life, we must persevere even if it is difficult. ”
Ye Ningxiang deliberately said that the situation was very serious, in order to prepare these people in advance, and wait until they actually worked to have more snacks.
"I want you to find out within three days what is in the water of this well in addition to the medicine we put in before. ”
Just like Ye Ningxiang's reaction when she first heard this, these doctors looked at me and I looked at you for a while, and then looked at the slightly bitter well water, as if they couldn't understand Ye Ningxiang's intentions at all.
Seeing the doctors' confusion, Ye Ningxiang continued to speak: "I suspect that someone took advantage of our unpreparedness to poison the well, so I asked you to help find out what kind of poison is in the water of this well. ”
After ordering the matter of checking the medicine, Ye Ningxiang directly ordered the blockade of the Assassin's Mansion, and no one in the mansion was allowed to go out, and no one outside the mansion was allowed to enter.
As soon as this order came out, there were complaints everywhere in the Assassin's Mansion, but in the face of such a situation, Ye Ningxiang did not flinch at all, and directly put down the words and said: "I am the emperor's personal envoy, my words are like a holy decree, if you want to disobey, I will not object, just leave your head!"
Hearing this, even if the people in the Assassin's Mansion dared to be angry, they didn't dare to say half a word at most.
Yuwang Mansion in Rinzhou.
"How's it going, everything is done?"
Yuwang sat in the corner, his voice sinister and intimidating.
In front of him was a thin man with a mask, and the man knelt respectfully in front of him and replied in a low voice: "Back to the prince, most of the wells in Rinzhou have been unknowingly drugged by our people and gods again, and this time the dosage is slightly larger than the previous one, guaranteeing that a new round of epidemic will break out in three days." ”
Hearing this, Yuwang was not only worried, but showed a strong smile on his face, and the laughter made people's hairs stand on end.
"Okay, okay, so it's not far from Jinghong's return to the throne. ”
In the Assassin's Mansion, these doctors who were temporarily recruited were afraid that Ye Ningxiang, the Lord of the Imperial Mission, would take their lives because of anger, so they worked hard day and night.
As the initiator of the matter of exploring other substances in the well water, Ye Ningxiang naturally has to supervise from the side day and night, firstly, to balance the hearts of the busy doctors, and secondly, to keep track of their work status at all times, and never let them be lazy.
By the afternoon of the second day of the investigation, the well water in the entire Assassin Mansion had been poisoned, and the lifeless Rinzhou City suddenly became more lively, and the neighbors were no longer silent, but talked about Ye Ningxiang, the powerful Princess Ning, and how the dignified Assassin Mansion was poisoned.
Originally, Ye Ningxiang ordered the gate of the Thorn History Mansion to be closed and no one would be allowed to come in, but at this time, the person in front of the Thorn Shi Mansion, she Ye Ningxiang couldn't intercept it, because this person was the most resentful King Yu in Ye Ningxiang's heart.
"This king heard that the Assassin Mansion was poisoned, is this true?"
King Yu pretended to be worried, his two eyebrows were twisted together, and the wrinkles on his face were gathered, like a huge round bun.
Ye Ningxiang didn't want to see King Yu's face, turned around, and replied coldly: "It's being investigated, and the details are inconvenient to disclose." I also hope that King Yu will return to his house and wait for the results. ”
Hearing Ye Ningxiang only answer one sentence and give him an eviction order in front of everyone, King Yu felt that he had lost face and was very annoyed in his heart, but he saw these doctors working hard, and he was afraid that they would really find out what secrets, and finally held back his anger and left the Assassin's Mansion.
As he walked, King Yu said in an extremely sinister tone: "This king wants to see what kind of poison Lord Ye can find. ”
After King Yu returned home, the first thing he did was to discuss countermeasures with King Jing Mu Jinghong, who was hiding in the shadows.
"Jing Hong, I just went to the Assassin's Mansion, Ye Ningxiang is leading people to step up the investigation of whether there are other things in this well water, according to her investigation method, it will be proved that this water is indeed poisonous in the next few days. ”
Hearing this, Mu Jinghong was not flustered at all, but said very calmly: "The water is poisonous and it does not prove that the poison is cast by us, as long as Uncle Huang eradicates those banes that should not be left in this world, no one will find out about us." ”
King Yu immediately understood, smiled slightly and nodded, as if he admired his nephew's ruthlessness and determination.
For two whole days, Ye Ningxiang never sleeped, her mind was dizzy, and she almost had to swing when she walked. Looking at Ye Ningxiang's haggard appearance, Wei Xun was not only sleepless with her, but also had more worries and melancholy in his heart.
"Ning Xiang, finding out if the well water is poisonous is not done overnight, if you continue to work day and night like this, I'm afraid that before the result of this happens, you will really fall ill. ”
Ye Ningxiang just wanted to reply, when she heard an uplifting voice coming from inside the house.
"Found it, found it!"
Hearing this, Ye Ningxiang instantly revived with full blood, ran quickly to the room where the well water was refined, grabbed the doctor who had just shouted, and said, "What did you just say, what else did you find into the water, right?"
The doctor also seemed to be immersed in an unprecedented sense of achievement, and instead of being afraid, Ye Ningxiang grabbed his collar very much, but responded with a smile: "Yes, Lord Ye, we found it." ”
Probably feeling that her behavior was a little out of line, Ye Ningxiang smiled awkwardly and then retracted her hand that was gripping the man's collar.
"The well water is a mixture of different substances, which contain animal carrion, rat blood, and so on, which can be said to be the root cause of the plague. ”
"What you said is true?"
"Yes, all the healers present can testify to the truth of what the grass people say. ”
Soon, Ye Ningxiang changed from the previous joy to strong worry, if the well water in the Thorn Mansion contained the root cause of this plague, then would the well water in the entire Rinzhou City be like this, and if the murderer was not found out, would there be another larger-scale plague outbreak in Rinzhou?
"Ningxiang. Wei Xun stepped forward and comforted: "Don't be stressed, you are already very remarkable, now that we have found the source of the plague, we will definitely find the person who poisoned us soon, you don't have to worry too much." As for the other water sources in Linzhou City, he only needs to let King Ning smell it to know if it is polluted. ”
Listening to Wei Xun's words, Ye Ningxiang's eyes suddenly lit up, and she turned her head to look at Mu Xize beside her, revealing a malicious smile.
"Xi Ze, Lord Wei just made a great proposal, but we still have to help us, hehe, if you don't speak, it means that you agree!"
While speaking, Ye Ningxiang had already pulled Mu Xize out of the way. Mu Xize pursed his lips, glared at Wei Xun fiercely, lowered his head, and seemed to be sullen all the way.
But fortunately, he still listened to Ye Ningxiang's words all the time, and throughout the night, they had already explored most of the wells in Rinzhou City, and all the wells were the same, and they were all drugged.
And Ye Ningxiang was also overtired, and unconsciously fell asleep, Wei Xun wanted to pick up Ye Ningxiang or carry her on his back, but he didn't expect Mu Xize to pick up Ye Ningxiang from Wei Xun's hands like grabbing a toy, and then showed off with a victorious attitude and laughed twice, carrying her on his shoulder.
Wei Xun wanted to snatch Ye Ningxiang back again, but he was really afraid that she would be accidentally injured in this back and forth tearing, so he always looked at Mu Xize's rude behavior in his heart along the way, until he returned to his home in Linzhou and saw Ye Ningxiang return to bed safely, he breathed a sigh of relief.
The consequence of not sleeping for three days in a row is that once you fall asleep, you don't know when you will wake up. Ye Ningxiang only felt that her surroundings were quiet, and her body was tightly surrounded by softness and warmth, comfortable and comfortable, as if she was in heaven.
She held the silk quilt in her arms and turned it over lazily, a clear smile on the corner of her mouth.
"It's so comfortable!"
"You're awake. I made you white fungus pear porridge, come and try it!"
Ye Ningxiang opened her eyes, just met Mu Xize's unique peach blossom eyes, she seemed to think that everything should be taken for granted, Mu Xize was not stupid at this time, and smiled very enjoyably: "Well, okay, I like my husband's white fungus pear porridge the most!"
However, as soon as she got up, she suddenly found that Mu Xize, who was sitting next to her, suddenly disappeared, and her heart was suddenly shocked, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that the previous scene was all a dream.
Ye Ningxiang sighed helplessly, turned around, and prepared to get up.
"Hehe, hehe. ”
I didn't see anyone and heard his voice first, and Ye Ningxiang had already heard his laughter before she saw Mu Xize.
Strange, obviously the voice was very close to her, why didn't she see anyone? Just as Ye Ningxiang was puzzled, the quilt on her leg seemed to be shaking slightly, and then this shaking kept moving upwards until it reached her neck. Mu Xize laughed as he poked his head out of the quilt.
"You...... You won't always sleep in the same bed as me, will you?"
Ye Ningxiang stepped back, her face flushed to her neck.
Since becoming stupid, Mu Xize has simply taken the kung fu of playing cheap to the extreme, hugging Ye Ningxiang's waist, obviously a big man, this voice has also become delicate, and he keeps calling Ye Ningxiang "Lady." ”
Being entangled like this by Mu Xize, Ye Ningxiang was already very embarrassed, but at this time, Rumo, who had always been as cold as ice, suddenly broke in.
Rumo saw the two of them like glue, and immediately turned around, also blushing.
"I ...... I'm looking for you urgently. ”
Ye Ningxiang struggled to get out of Mu Xize's powerful arm, and then looked at Rumo seriously and said, "But I asked you to investigate that matter, there is a clue?"
"There was a clue yesterday, but Lord Wei said that it was rare for you to sleep so soundly, and specially asked me not to come and disturb you. ”
"Yesterday, how long did I sleep?"
Ye Ningxiang remembered that the last time she lost consciousness was at night, and now it was daytime, and Rumo said that she was sleeping yesterday, and such a time logic made her a little confused.
"Two days, two nights and half a day. ”
"Ahh
Hearing Rumo's answer, Ye Ningxiang almost dropped her jaw in shock, and swallowed several mouthfuls of saliva, as if she still couldn't believe the fact that she had slept for so long.
