Chapter 155: Involved
Shang Qingyuan study, a cup of hot tea, fragrant, Li Zifeng stood ten steps away from Ouyang Ze through the bookcase, described the results of his investigation in detail, and made a detailed analysis in combination with the situation reported from various places, but he left only the suspicion of He Yi, and the inexplicable feeling from the deacon elder Xiang Yingfeng.
Ouyang Ze stared at Li Zifeng, didn't say anything after all, waved his hand, signaled Li Zifeng to retreat, Li Zifeng turned to leave, closed the door, Ouyang Ze glanced at the official document that was put aside by the sheet, and frowned. It felt like a thorn stuck in my throat, maybe something was time to be broken.
Reva Court
The bitter almonds that Lu Shiqing studied, with the results, the almonds do not have other problems except for the bitter taste, but if they are eaten with licorice, they will form the poisonous 'falling stone sand' in the white bones.
After Li Zifeng heard this, his heart couldn't help but tighten, in this way, the scope of thorough investigation is wide, and all the people who take over the procurement of almonds are suspicious, but in this way, it will take a lot of time not to mention, and it will definitely make people panic, and there will be no peace up and down, it seems that they have to think of a way.
Lu Shiqing smiled deeply, "There are not many people who have the opportunity to take over the ingredients, have access to licorice, and understand pharmacology, among the few people in the entire sect." You don't have to report anyone, you can do an unannounced investigation. ”
"The disciple understands. ”
After Li Zifeng left, Lu Shiqing recruited the disciples around him and secretly assisted Li Zifeng. After everything was arranged, Lu Shiqing quietly activated the mechanism, a secret door in the shape of a medicine pavilion opened, Lu Shiqing passed through the long secret passage, and came to a secret room, except that the secret room had no windows, it was basically the same as Lu Shiqing's room structure, and even the tables, chairs, and beds were placed in the same position.
In front of the stone table in the secret room, there was a person sitting quietly, it was Shi Xi who was rescued by them in Mozhou, after Lu Shiqing's medication, Shi Xi's complexion had improved, and the tumor on his face was also fading, leaving only traces slightly redder than the skin, and the skin and flesh on his body were gradually healing.
"You're so much more comfortable looking like this. Lu Shiqing closed the secret door and quipped, "At least I know what you look like." Looks like my antidote still works. ”
Shi Xi came back to his senses, and hurriedly stood up and thanked his benefactor, "Engong is great and gracious, and it is unforgettable." ”
"Saving you is a matter of effort, and your life should not be extinguished. Lu Shiqing picked up Shixi, pointed to the stool, and motioned for him to sit down, "It's just that you have been stuck in this secret room all day, and I'm really wronged." ”
"What is this compared to the days when life is worse than death in Luojiabao?" Shi Xi sighed, extremely glad in his heart, and said, suddenly remembering something, "Oh, by the way, who is the black cloak that controls Luojiabao?"
Lu Shiqing was stunned, "What? Don't you know?"
Stony Brook shook his head, "Ever since I was captured and brought to Luojiabao to see him, he has been wearing an iron mask, I don't know who he is, but when I heard someone come looking for him, I called him cold. This man is very strange, good and bad to me, one moment to torment me, the next to be very good to me. All in all weird. ”
"Actually, we don't know who he is, otherwise how would we let him escape?" Lu Shiqing sighed, if Shi Xi knew that the ghost-like Leng Wuhei was the general Shi Yixiong whom he respected the most in the past, how much pain would his heart have.
"Engong?" Shi Xi saw that Lu Shiqing had been in a daze, and called lightly.
"Uh-huh. Lu Shiqing came back to his senses, "I thought of something else. ”
Shi Xi was a little regretful, "It's a pity that the mystery of the general's violent death has not been solved." That Leng Wuhei also escaped. ”
"Don't worry, there will be opportunities in the future. Lu Shiqing comforted, "In the future, catch that Leng Wuhei, and I will send him to you and let you deal with it personally." ”
"Thank you. Shi Xi didn't think much about it, and said after thinking for a while, "Engong didn't come here to chat with me, right?"
Lu Shiqing smiled indifferently, "I've known you for so long, and I haven't bothered to talk to you properly." There are some things..."Lu Shiqing paused and said straight to the point, "You have been living in Mozhou, so how much do you know about black and white poison or Luojiabao?"
"Black and white poison?" Shi Xi was stunned, "I know about black and white poison as well, the only one who knows more than you is that Ashqi, as far as I know, he is also a subordinate of black and white poison." ”
"What?" Lu Shiqing raised his eyebrows, "Let's hear it." ”
"There is also a poison master with him, and there is another person, who seems to be from the Lingye Palace. ”
"Lingye Palace?" Lu Shiqing's expression was awe-inspiring, "continued. ”
......
An hour later, Lu Shiqing walked out of the secret room, his mood was heavy, combined with the situation of Mozhou's investigation and Shixi's narrative, all the clues seemed to faintly point to Hongyuan Villa.
Yingtian Teahouse is a branch of Hongyuan Villa in Mozhou, which is managed by Li Shijie, the owner of the young village. And the real controller behind Luojiabao is also him, Leng Wuhei is a person with black and white poison, and the black and white poison cooperates closely with Lingye Palace, and Hongyuan Villa and the royal family are married, and the involvement of many forces behind it, and even the flow of toxins into the sect this time is also indirectly related to Hongyuan Villa, Lu Shiqing sighed deeply.
Coming out of Luhua Pavilion, Li Zifeng returned directly to the courtyard, laid out the white rice paper, wrote down a few names and folded them, at this time, in the corner of the narrow study, a figure appeared, it was the shadow guard Shen Yu, Shen Yu received a letter from Li Zifeng before, asking him to come back, and he had been waiting silently in the study until Li Zifeng stopped writing.
Shen Yu walked up to Li Zifeng and knelt on one knee, "Childe." ”
Li Zifeng handed the folded paper to Shen Yu and instructed, "Take it to the secret investigation, don't startle the snake." ”
Shen Yu took the note and put it away, "Don't worry, Childe." ”
After arranging everything, Li Zifeng looked at the official document about Hongyuan Villa on the table again, and sighed heavily, he didn't know, about black and white double poison, about Lingye Palace, how deep the contact with Hongyuan Villa, and how deep Li Shijie was in contact, maybe he should accept Ouyang Ze's assignment and thoroughly investigate Hongyuan Villa with his own hands.
There is also the investigation result of the death of the secret guard from Mozhou, Ouyang Ze did not say a word, is it really related to Yingtian Teahouse, or is it related to Li Shijie? Li Zifeng felt a trace of uneasiness rise in his heart.
The time of the day ended in a busy way, the earth converged the last ray of light of the day, Hengshan faction turned on the lights, sprinkling the light of the stars, a man in black was in a hurry, maybe he was really too nervous, he didn't even notice that there was another black shadow behind him quietly following.
The man in black walked to a hidden corner and stopped, waited patiently, and within half a cup of tea, a man in a black cloak appeared. The man in black had an anxious look in his eyes, "Is there anything you can't say in the house, you have to come here?"
The black cloak looked at the man in black playfully, arranging his collar as if nothing had happened, "It's too unsafe in the room, I don't know how many pairs of eyes will be watching, or is it better here to help us talk, do you say?"
The man in black looked anxious, "How is my family?"
"Your family, rest assured, they are fine. As long as you are obedient, I guarantee that they will be fine. ”
The man in black was He Yi, and the black cloak was the one who had scared him for many years, He Yi almost choked, "You let my family go!" ”
"Guarantee?" "Black Cloak smiled coldly, "What guarantee do you use, you have been too close to Li Zifeng recently, I am really uneasy, what can you do to reassure me?"
He Yi guessed what the black cloak was going to do next, and took two steps back, "I promise, I'll stay away from Li Zifeng in the future." ”
The black cloak said angrily, "Your guarantee doesn't seem to me to have the slightest effect, why don't we have something practical!" As he spoke, the black cloak took out a small porcelain bottle from his body, poured out a pill, and forcibly put it into He Yi's mouth.
After a violent cough, He Yi was not as depressed as when he was poured chronic poison in the past, his eyes were a little straight, and he looked straight at the black cloak, "Why bother? I have been firmly controlled by you, so why should you waste poison again? Aren't you afraid that if I eat to death one day, you will also be exposed?"
"I can claim that you died violently, and there is no sign of poisoning on you. The black cloak smiled, "It's a big deal that I'll turn you into a pile of bones like him, and then be found and studied, while I'm still safely dormant." ”
He Yi knew who he was in the mouth of the black cloak, and when he thought of that person, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart, and he scolded fiercely with tears in his eyes, "You are shameless!"
