Chapter 107: Poisonous Wine in the Western Regions
Shen Jingkun suddenly understood that this person must be a spy, and Shen Jingkun first made a simple temptation.
"Spy, where to escape!" Shen Jingkun pretended to stab the man with a sword, and the man dodged over.
"How do you know I'm a spy?" the man asked aloud.
"I found it a long time ago, see where you are fleeing today?" Shen Jingkun said.
Seeing that he had been recognized, this man drew his weapon and began to kill the dart master.
Without self-defeat, Shen Jingkun was secretly proud, and he ordered the dart masters to divide into two groups, one of which was to fight the fire, and the other group was to protect the firefighters.
The enemy was small in number, and Shen Jingkun brandished his long sword to assassinate the enemy frantically.
Under the leadership of Shen Jingkun, the dart master was orderly, the enemy had no chance to take advantage of it, and the order gradually became chaotic.
Shen Jingkun used the sword technique of unification, killing from east to west, from north to south, rotating around the dart car, seeing the enemy, and ending with a sword.
The men and horses of the Black Tiger Gang found that Shen Jingkun's strength was too strong, so they intended to retreat.
How could Shen Jingkun let the tiger return to the mountain, if he retreated, it might cause another fight, and the enemy would definitely lead more men and horses to chase and intercept him.
These people must not be let go, Shen Jingkun used light skills to block in front of these people, and stabbed with a swift stroke, killing eight or nine people.
Shen Jingkun used his sword to cut off a piece of dead branch, and then with all his strength, he shot the dead branch at the spy, and the dead branch passed through his chest, and the spy lay in a pool of blood.
After another half a cup of tea, the enemy had all been eliminated and the fire had been extinguished.
The crowd did not dare to delay any longer and rode immediately.
After the Black Tiger Forest, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, thanks to Shen Jingkun, otherwise it would be another disaster.
While everyone is rejoicing, they are also secretly thinking about it, it seems that after returning to the dart game, they have to carefully check every dart master, and a trusted dart master is actually a spy, which really sounded the alarm for everyone.
It doesn't matter if it's over, but the spy is dead.
Shen Jingkun asked the dart masters how long it would take to reach their destination, and asked where else they had to go.
The dart master answered them one by one.
Shen Jingkun was completely relaxed at this time, there was a flat horse in front of him, there were almost no opponents, even if there were some robbers, they were also some superficial rats.
......
The master of the Northern Secret Weapon, the disciple of the Psychic Hand Wolf King, died at the hands of "Ye Xuanzi".
The Wolf King intends to teach the five people of "Night Xuanzi" and the wood god a lesson.
So the wolf king found the official book through layers of relationships.
Mu Shenxiang is the person recommended by the Ministry of Officials, and the Wolf King wants the Ministry of Books to give an explanation, otherwise he will report to the court to see if the court will give the Wolf King this face.
The official Shangshu was under pressure, so he had to demote the wood god who had been promoted to the head catcher again.
Mu Shenxiang is very annoyed, the officials protect each other, such a big court has no place to reason, Mu Shenxiang has just entered the official career, and he still lacks insight into the way of the official road.
Mu Shenxiang thinks that as long as you think about the people, you can do a good job as an official, but in fact, this is not the case, the most important thing for an official is to have a good relationship with colleagues.
One more friend and one more way in officialdom.
In order to make things difficult for Mu Shenxiang and others, the wolf king deliberately and secretly killed the court officials, and it seemed that he did nothing leaky.
As the head catcher, it is the duty of the wood god to investigate the case, so the wolf king suggested to the official department Shangshu to hand over the case to the wood god, if the wood god cannot close the case within two weeks, leave the officialdom and be an ordinary person.
The official Shangshu was under heavy pressure, so he had to agree.
The next day, the official Shangshu summoned Mu Shenxiang and told Mu Shenxiang the cause and effect of the incident.
Lord Xue, the prefect of Liuzhou, is deceased, and hopes that Mu Shenxiang will investigate and deal with the cause of Lord Xue's death within two weeks, and if it is man-made, find out the real culprit.
Mu Shenxiang did not refuse, he led twenty catchers to Liuzhou, and there were "Ye Xuanzi" and Gu Chunyao, ghost wit, and gold ingots.
Everyone hurried up and arrived in Liuzhou on the same day.
When they arrived at Lord Xue's mansion, everyone in the mansion was wearing linen and filial piety, crying together.
Only Lord Xue was lying on the straw mat, covered with a white cloth.
Mu Shenxiang opened the white cloth, Lord Xue's eyes opened, obviously not blinding, Mu Shenxiang closed Lord Xue's eyes.
At this time, a woman came up, and she claimed to be Lord Xue's wife.
Mu Shenxiang asked: "Madame, may I ask Madam, when did Lord Xue die, and who were the people around him before he died?"
Madame replied one by one: "The master died two days ago, and there were only two maids before he died, but the way the master died is very strange. ”
"What's so weird?" asked the wood god as he continued.
"Before the old man died, there was no rain for four or five months in a row, and now it is in the season of summer harvest and summer planting, no rain is not good, the dealer is about to die, but the lord just died, there was a heavy rain in the local area, the dealer who just planted the drought and the sweet rain, the people were very happy, they secretly said that the lord should die. Madame said.
"It's really strange! But I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, and whether it rains or not has nothing to do with the death of the master, these are all coincidences. Mu Shenxiang continued, "How is the lord an official on weekdays?"
"The lord is an honest official, he has been in Liuzhou for more than ten years, he has never been corrupt and bends the law, and he treats the people as ordinary relatives, but I don't know why the lord has a short life. As she spoke, the lady began to sob.
"Ye Xuanzi" comforted Mrs. and made her mourn and change.
Mu Shenxiang ordered his wife to invite all the famous doctors in the neighborhood to see how the old man died.
The lady did so, and he ordered several servants to come quickly, and soon three well-known local doctors were brought here.
Under the arrangement of the wood god, the three of them began to examine the corpse.
First check the old man for signs of poisoning, test the throat with a silver needle, the silver needle did not change color, and then use the silver needle to test the old man's stomach, the silver needle changed color.
It shows that the old man died of poisoning, but he died of poisoning, why the throat is not poisonous, but the stomach is poisonous.
Mu Shenxiang ordered the doctor to check if the poison had been injected directly into the body.
This is a bit difficult, direct injection, there will be a needle eye, but the needle eye will compound, even if it is not attached, the needle eye is so small, it is not easy to detect.
There is also a possibility, just like in Baiyun Town, where adults died of smells.
So he ordered the doctor to examine the deceased's nasal cavity and trachea.
As a result, the silver needle did not change color, but the stomach was poisoned, not the lungs, or it was a problem with eating or directly injecting poison.
So after three or four hours of careful investigation, the doctor finally proved that the adult's death was not a direct injection of poison.
Then there is only one result, dietary problems, it is possible that this poison is a slow-moving poison, after the adults have taken it, there is nothing unusual, after a period of time, the adults die, so the medicine in the throat has been lost, but the poison in the stomach is still left, of course this is just a guess.
"Madam, who has been in charge of the master's diet in the last few days?" asked Mu Shenxiang.
"The lord has always dined with all of us, and all of us are all the same, except for the lord who died. Madame replied.
"Who is in charge when the master drinks tea alone on weekdays?" asked Ye Xuanzi.
"It's me, my lord. Since the "Night Lady" and the wood god came together, the maid also called the "Night Lady" an adult.
"Doctor, could it be that the adults were poisoned by drinking tea?" asked Ye Xuanzi.
"It's also possible. One of the doctors said.
The maid hurriedly explained: "No, the master only drinks the tea I make on weekdays, and I definitely don't have the heart to kill the master. ”
"My lord has a quirk, and he only uses special teapots and teacups on weekdays, and I can take them all out for you to check. The maid said.
"That's right, the old man does have this quirk. Madame replied.
"Bring the teapot and the teacup!" commanded the Nightshade.
After a few moments, the teapot and teacup were brought to the crowd.
"Ye Xuanzi" instructed the doctor to check the tea set, and after a detailed inspection, the tea set was not unusual.
So how Lord Xue died, this seems to be more confusing than the previous cases.
How did Lord Xue's poison enter the stomach, all kinds of situations have been considered, but there is no breakthrough.
Soon it was time for dinner, and the lady arranged dinner for all the visitors, including three doctors.
The departure of the master, although the lady was very sad, but the waist dinner was quite rich.
Everyone was also hungry for a day, feasting, at this time the lady brought a jar of wine: "This jar of wine is given by others, on weekdays, the master can drink alone, now that he is gone, this jar of good wine is only afraid that no one will enjoy it, if you don't mind, just drink!"
The crowd was very happy to hear that there was also good wine to entertain them.
The three doctors also filled the cup.
Suddenly, a doctor said, "Madam, who gave this wine?"
"Why do you ask?" replied Madame.
"There is something strange in the wine!" said the doctor, "this wine is native to the Western Regions, and can dissolve a poison, and there is an animal in the Western Regions called the thatched sheep, which is a rectal animal, and it is very easy to be poisoned, so the locals use this wine to cleanse the stomach of the thatched sheep."
Therefore, if you drink this kind of wine mixed with that poison, you will die, but the throat of the deceased will not leave the slightest poison, so the silver needle cannot be tested, only the stomach will have the residue of the poison. ”
Mu Shenxiang suddenly understood that Lord Xue must have drunk wine mixed with poison before he died.
Mu Shenxiang asked, "Madam, who gave this jar of wine?"
"It was given by a person who is known as a psychic hand!" replied the lady, "This psychic hand is very important in the court, so the master will get very close to him, so this psychic hand gave the master a jar of good wine!"
