Chapter 118: Poisoning
"Dongyang, how did your fiancée pass away?"
At the mention of this, Dongyang's unhealed pain came to his heart again. Although he and Meng Zizhi were the words of their parents, the two fell in love at first sight.
Meng Zizhi is the third lady of the Meng family in Wanzhou, and his father is the hall master of an alchemy hall in Kyoto. Therefore, she has followed her father to learn the art of alchemy since she was a child, and she is quite accomplished.
As the acting head of the Seven Swords Sect, if Dongyang can marry an alchemist as his wife, it will be a great good thing for him.
Therefore, his parents are very satisfied with this future daughter-in-law.
Cultivators don't care about secular etiquette, so after the two of them got married, Meng Zizhi often came to the Seven Swords Gate to find Dongyang.
Those days were the most relaxed and happy times after Dongyang became the acting head. Meng Zizhi is very smart, gentle and virtuous, and went to the kitchen under the hall.
She refined medicine to regulate Dongyang's internal breath, and helped him deal with the affairs of the Seven Swords Gate's accounts. Because the five elders love to find faults, Dongyang really doesn't have much energy to manage the accounts in response to fatigue, so she privately helps Dongyang manage the accounts.
Three months ago, she suddenly fell ill on the way home from the Seven Swords Gate, and after arriving at the Meng family, she was exhausted and could not be saved after all.
Hearing this, Luo Xifeng's mind tightened. Although the alchemist is naturally weak in life, his physique is much better than that of ordinary mortals, how can a good person suddenly fall ill.
"Do you know what the disease is?"
Dongyang's eyes were bloodshot and he shook his head slightly.
"Zizhi's father is the master of the Alchemy Hall, and he can't be sure based on his familiarity with medicinal materials and diseases, how can I know?"
She was so sick that she had a heart palsy and couldn't breathe, but she didn't show any signs of poisoning or injury.
"In addition to heart palsy, is her blood vessel closed, blood clotted, and the whole person is stiff and unable to bend?"
"How do you know that's the case?" Dongyang looked at him in surprise, Meng Zizhi's symptoms were exactly the same as what he said.
"I knew there was a poison that could paralyze the heart in an hour, and the blood vessels would close and the blood would clot. ”
On the top of the Xuanlong Cliff of the Jin family, there is a highly poisonous thing - the bloodthirsty Tianzhu, because this thing only grows in the Xuanlong Cliff, the world knows very little.
Bloodthirsty Tianzhu is colorless and odorless, only one drop can kill people, and there is no antidote at all.
"Are you saying that Zizhi died of poisoning, not a sudden illness?" This sentence made Dongyang's body crooked, and he put his hand on the table before he stood firmly.
Luo Xifeng nodded,
"Bloodthirsty Tianzhu, a highly poisonous thing that only my Jin family knows, even the most powerful alchemist in Kyoto can't identify its toxicity. ”
In addition, there is an important fact in front of us now:
"Since Miss Meng fell ill on the way back from the Seven Swords Gate, it means that she was poisoned when she was in the Seven Swords Gate. ”
In the Seven Swords Gate, although there are discords in the Six Great Peak Gates, they are not gangsters who use dirty methods. Moreover, Meng Zizhi was not a disciple of the Seven Swords Sect, how could she have a grudge with the people in the Seven Swords Sect?
"She only comes once every ten days and a half months, and she only stays for three hours at a time, how can she have a grudge with others?" Dongyang couldn't figure it out, Zizhi was gentle and kind, didn't talk much, and didn't like to argue with others. Who wants to poison such a woman?
"Is she helping you manage the Seven Swords Gate ledger?" After Luo Xifeng heard the conversation between Xia Er and Ji Andong, he guessed if it was because of Xia Er's misappropriation of 10,000 gold beads that made her hold a grudge against Meng Zizhi.
After learning the cause of Meng Zizhi's death, he was able to determine.
But now he has no evidence to prove this, and Dongyang needs to find out the accounts himself.
Dongyang suddenly remembered one thing, before Meng Zizhi's accident, she had mentioned to him that the accounts of the account room were wrong, and there seemed to be a lot of gold beads missing. He didn't pay attention to it at the time, could it be because of this?
"Elder Charles's Qu Qiufeng seems to have taken 10,000 gold beads from the accounting room, do you know this?" Luo Xifeng asked.
"This ...... I don't know. Could it be her?" Dongyang remembered that during that time, Xia Er did often go to the warehouse, Qu Qiufeng had many female disciples, and in the past, Xia Er went to the warehouse to get more clothes and powder, but he always turned a blind eye, could it be that she had another purpose.
"I'll go to the accounting office and find out. Dongyang flew away in a flash, Luo Xifeng followed closely behind him, Dongyang's mind was not careful enough, he needed help.
Since Cha Ming arrived at the Seven Swords Gate, he had nothing to do all day. Since driving out the disciples of Dian Erfeng, Wei Shifeng has been much cleaner. In addition to all kinds of birds and insects flying in my ears, it is not easy to hear a person's speech
Luo Xifeng was busy with the internal affairs of the Seven Swords Sect and rarely had time to accompany her. After she finished her daily cultivation homework, she had nothing to do.
She misses Ling'er and Scarlet a little bit, and chatting with them all day long is not boring at all.
There was really nothing to do, so she turned the fennel peak around. The peak is really big, and there are many winding mountain roads, but there is no road to the back mountain.
Back then, Luo Xifeng was naughty and always loved to play in the back mountains. Although there was no road, they went there more times, and they trampled a path with their feet.
Later, as they left one by one, the path was never walked again, and finally it was covered with weeds and gradually disappeared.
Cha Ming remembered that Luo Xifeng and Xiao Xuan had chased the monkeys in the back mountain, so she also wanted to see the monkeys in the back mountain.
Fortunately, the grass in the back mountain is not high, so it is not troublesome to go up, and it is even soft and comfortable.
There are still monkeys in this back mountain, but when they see someone coming, they all hide far away.
"It's boring. Cha Ming was bored after a circle, so he was ready to leave.
As soon as she turned around, she was covered in a sack over her head.
It was dark in front of her for a moment, and she felt like she was being carried on her shoulders and ran wildly.
"Let me go, help, help. Cha Ming struggled vigorously with his hands and feet, and the man tripped over a dead branch under an unsteady foot and fell to the ground.
Cha Ming fell off his shoulder and rolled down the hill a few times. She struggled to tear open the sack on her head and saw clearly that the person who kidnapped him was Zhou Qing, Wang Yao's eldest disciple.
"It's you, you dare to go to the Fen Shi Peak without the permission of the acting head, I'll tell them to go. ”
Cha Ming walked downhill with a roll, how could Zhou Qing let her go.
The disciples of their Yunnan Erfeng are all arrogant. However, it was this woman who made the second peak of Yunnan become the laughing stock of other peaks on the first day she came.
Although the master told him not to act rashly, he couldn't swallow this breath. That Fourth Master Uncle had very high spiritual power, and he didn't dare to do it, but the woman in front of him didn't look like a cultivator, and he wanted to kidnap her and vent his anger to everyone.
"If you want to escape, first ask you if Uncle Zhou is willing. Zhou Qing bared his teeth and condensed his aura and flew towards Cha Ming.
