Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Gate of the Mansion
"The Three Poison Gates, in accordance with the agreement, presented two packs of 'Dissipation and Dispersion'.
"As soon as this medicine enters the water, it is colorless and tasteless, emitting poisonous gas, ordinary people smell it, the muscles and bones are soft, and the internal organs are gradually dried up.
"Even if there is martial arts in the body, as long as the gate of heaven is not opened, and the bridge between heaven and earth is not opened, this medicine can also make his internal qi and strength weak, his spirit is weak, and even his internal strength is regressed.
"This medicine is not enough to be fatal, but it is also enough to spread panic, which is in line with the requirements of the young owner.
"Please also accept the acceptance, don't forget to return the money. β
This is what the letter is about.
The Three Poisons Sect is a subordinate sect of the Plague Emperor Sect, its strength is not strong, and its head only has six grades, and its members have always been secretive and famous for peddling all kinds of poisons.
The reason why Zhou Heng was stunned was that he didn't expect that he had just entrusted Wu Zongshan to pay more attention to the movements of the Plague Emperor Sect, and he found that he had already had something related to the Plague Emperor Sect in his hands.
If there is no accident, the two people who were killed by him before should be the people of the Three Poison Sect.
Those two tokens are most likely the identity tokens of the Three Poison Gate.
And the people involved in the content of this letter, as well as the effect of the poison, made Zhou Heng feel very puzzled.
Thunder Mountain Villa is not an evil way, on the contrary, it is a well-known righteous sect in the entire Pingzhou County, and its owner, Wei Zhentian, has always been known for being jealous and hateful.
Even if the young owner Wei Gaopeng is still not well-known now, he often does some things on weekdays to help the poor people in the township, eliminate violence and peace, and sweep away mountain bandits.
No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like someone who wants to buy poison and create panic.
But the contents of this letter do not seem to be fake, unless the two men knew in advance that they would definitely be killed, and then the letter would fall into the hands of others, so as to create panic rumors out of thin air.
This is clearly unrealistic.
Zhou Heng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, but the situation he understood now didn't have a clue for a while.
I had to turn my gaze to the list on the side.
The above is the purchase details of each type of medicinal material, including weight, unit price, seller and other information.
Zhou Heng also saw a familiar name on it.
Liao Quancheng.
It was the doctor Liao who was sick in bed when Yu He was infected by ghost qi and left helplessly.
He is a famous doctor in Huangtong Fucheng, and he also runs a pharmacy and does a medicinal herb business.
This does not mean that Liao Quancheng has colluded with the Three Poison Sect, after all, his family only sells medicinal materials, and he can't control what people do when they buy medicinal materials.
However, it may be possible to get some clues about the Three Poisons Sect from him.
If you find the people of the Three Poison Sect, you will have the opportunity to find the people of the Plague Emperor Sect further.
"Do you want to go to this doctor tomorrow and ask?"
Zhou Heng touched his chin and pondered: "It's just that the Three Poison Sects may not leave such obvious flaws, if you don't even have this bit of vigilance, how can you make your whereabouts secret and difficult to find?"
"Well, the girl who was chased and killed by the Three Poison Sect before should know more clues, but it's a pity that I didn't leave contact information or anything at that time in order to avoid getting into trouble. β
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but regret it a little.
If I knew this, I should have had an in-depth conversation with that girl.
"Whether it succeeds or not, after seeing the mansion sent by Wu Zongshan tomorrow, I will go to Liao Quancheng to ask. β
Zhou Heng made a plan for tomorrow's investigation, "Well, the way of asking should also be more particular, so that people can't see at a glance that I'm looking for someone." β
......
Early the next morning.
Zhou Heng got up early in the morning and waited for Wu Zongshan to send someone over.
He's looking forward to it.
Seven into the house!
If this is placed on the earth, the palace is nothing more than that.
It can only be said that this world is really a vast land, and even ordinary people can live in such a big house.
ββGenerally speaking, "one entry" is the area of a courtyard house, and "seven entrances" can be simply understood as seven connected courtyard houses, covering an area of about two or three thousand square meters.
This mansion is still located in the most prosperous north district of Huangtong Mansion City, and it is worth almost five or six hundred thousand taels of silver when converted into a house price.
Unfortunately, this is the property of the Fucheng Yamen, and at most it can be used as a reward to grant the right of residence.
It is impossible to take it and sell it.
Finally, in Zhou Heng's expectant gaze, Meng Xing, the first tool man of Huangtong Mansion, arrived.
It was not easy for the dignified martial arts eight-grade Fucheng Yamen to catch the head, and it was not easy to be sent by Wu Zongshan to take Zhou Heng to see the house.
However, Meng Xing himself did not feel forced to open his business, on the contrary, he was quite happy to get along with Zhou Heng.
After all, Zhou Heng is a promising martial arts genius at first glance, and he may become a big man in the middle and third grades in the future, and may even become a generation of grandmasters!
As a small catcher in Fucheng with no background or background, there are not many opportunities to meet big people, so you must cherish it.
"Gongzi Zhou, the carriage is ready, please come with me. Meng Xing smiled, and there was a luxuriously decorated carriage parked behind him, which he had specially rented at his own expense to pick up Zhou Heng.
"Thank you, Meng Zhutou. When Zhou Heng saw the carriage, he immediately understood what was going on, and said to Meng Xing: "Meng Zhutou is also with him, there is a coachman." β
"No need. Meng Xing shook his head and said with a smile: "This is specially prepared for you, Gongzi, I'll be outside." β
"Meng Zhutou has a heart. Zhou Heng smiled, then stopped insisting and got up and got into the carriage.
When the morning glow gradually dissipated, Zhou Heng took a carriage to the big mansion located in the north of the city.
The vermilion gate, the stone lion of the town house, and the long fence made him feel a powerful momentum rushing towards him, and compared to the room he had rented before, the gap was simply sky-high.
Many people in this area have heard that this mansion, which has been detained by the Yamen of the prefecture for a long time, is about to welcome new residents, and they are very curious about what kind of people will live here.
Therefore, as soon as Meng Xing and the carriage carrying Zhou Heng arrived, many people's eyes immediately turned to them.
There are men, women and children, all of whom are full of envy.
After all, it is not an exaggeration to say that this mansion is the largest and most luxurious courtyard in the north of Huangtong Mansion, and it used to be the dream of countless people to live in it.
And when Zhou Heng lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked out of it, the people present suddenly boiled.
"Oh my God! so young! so handsome!"
"Well, this looks like he's only seventeen or eighteen years old! Well, it's a little familiar, this little brother. β
"It's Zhou Heng, the Zhou Heng of the Longxing Martial Arts Hall in Chengdong District, the seventeen-year-old nine-rank master, he is on the list!"
"Seventeen-year-old master of the list! is still so handsome, I love it!"
"I really want to give him a baby!"
There were bursts of exclamations, and many parents secretly decided that they must urge their children to practice martial arts after returning home.
Look at Zhou Heng, who is on the list of people who practice martial arts, he has everything!
If your child doesn't practice well, he'll beat him!
Zhou Heng turned a deaf ear to people's exclamations, and under the leadership of Meng Xing, he pushed open the door of this mansion and stepped into it.
The first impression is not luxury.
Rather, it is desolate.
and an inexplicably gloomy aura.
Also, the carvings on the wall are a bit strange.
The first thing he saw after entering the door was a square brick carved wall.
The carving on it is of a three-legged bird standing in the sun, about to flutter its wings and fly high, but two of its legs are bound by a cloud-like pattern and cannot break free.
Three-legged black?
Zhou Heng frowned slightly, looked at Meng Xing beside him, and asked, "Meng Zhutou, do you know why this mansion was taken into custody by the Fucheng Yamen, and who is the previous owner?"
