Chapter 55: Li Sishen Suspects Poison
Li Sishen saw that Master Zhao wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that he had something to say to himself. However, Lord Zhao struggled for a moment, but still couldn't speak, and gradually loosened her official robe in her hand.
"Lord Zhao still has something to do?"
"No, no...... The offender was thrilled for a moment, and asked the superintendent not to blame. ”
She glanced at Lord Zhao deeply, she was not in a hurry, he didn't want to say that she wouldn't force Lord Zhao now. When he thinks about it, he will naturally take the initiative to say it to himself.
"Since Lord Zhao has nothing else to do, and the official still has official business to deal with, my lord will have a good rest here now. ”
Li Sishen told the guards around her to take care of Lord Zhao, and after explaining this, she raised her feet and left Lord Zhao's room.
Since the emperor made Chu Boyi responsible for the safety of the supervisor, he stayed by Li Sishen's side whenever he was free. At first, Li Sishen felt that he was very unaccustomed to being followed by someone, especially the son of the Chu family, and after a long time, he gradually became a little numb, and he also turned a blind eye to Chu Boyi.
"Are you going to go to Imperial Doctor Zhang now?" How did he know about this guy? Could it be a roundworm in his stomach?
Li Sishen coughed lightly twice and said calmly.
"Yes, Lord Zhao doesn't know about the poison in his own right. ”
"Don't you know some medical skills? Why? Can't even tell Lord Zhao's poison?"
Chu Boyi This is which pot is not opened, although Li Sishen knows some medical skills, but she specializes in the art industry, and she doesn't know much about poisons.
"Young Master Chu, even if this official learns medical skills, he doesn't know everything after all. Master Zhang is the imperial doctor in the palace, and he knows more than me. ”
Li Sishen came to Imperial Doctor Zhang and told him the doubts in his heart. After listening to it, Imperial Doctor Zhang answered her questions.
"Now Lord Zhao has woken up from a coma of poisoning, although his life is no longer in danger, how can that poison be in the hands of an official? And this poison and Lord Zhao are hiding poison...... It's not a trivial matter, and we have to take it seriously. ”
"What the superintendent said is reasonable, an official like Lord Zhao can hide this poison...... It's going to have to be investigated. ”
"Lord Zhang, do you know what poison is in Lord Zhao's body?"
"Lord Hui Jian Si is a kind of 'red letter stone' from the Northland. ”
Northland? This place sounds familiar...... Just when Li Si was thinking about where the northern land was in Imperial Doctor Zhang's mouth, Chu Boyi beside him opened his mouth.
"What Lord Zhang said about Beidi refers to Mobei Rouran, right?"
"Yes, that's where it comes from. Chu Gongzi is quick to think, and he must know Mobei very well. ”
"Lord Zhang praised it falsely, the younger generation just heard others talk about it, and they only know a thing or two about Mobei. ”
After learning about this, Li Sishen frowned and told Imperial Doctor Zhang not to say that Lord Zhang Zhao was poisoned by the 'Red Letter Stone', and when Imperial Doctor Zhang heard Li Sishen's words, he also promised her that he would never reveal half a word to the public.
In the dead of night, they fall asleep early after a busy day. Just as everyone was asleep, a man in black in a strong suit sneaked into Li Sishen's mansion and prepared to kill Lord Zhao.
"You guessed it...... The moon is dark and the wind is high, Dong Shangshu really can't hold back and wants to do it......"
"Shhh ”
Li Sishen and Chu Boyi were hiding in the shadows, and the assassin was bent on killing Lord Zhao and didn't pay attention to his back.
Just as the man in black approached Lord Zhao's bedside, the dagger in his hand stabbed at Lord Zhao who was unaware. The moonlight shone through the window on the dagger that glowed coldly, and the black-clad assassin gave a heartfelt gaze. When the Assassin thought he was about to succeed, Li Sishen quickly threw out several stones and hit the Assassin's wrist. The assassin felt a pain and subconsciously let go, and the dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Li Sishen stepped out of the darkness and took out his saber and placed it on the assassin's neck.
"Be careful, the sword has no eyes...... Tell me who you are, and who instructed you to assassinate you?"
Seeing that he had not been able to kill someone, the Assassin quickly took out a mist bomb from his cuff and covered his mouth and nose. The projectile landed on the ground, emitting a mist that blocked Li Sishen's vision, and the Assassin took the opportunity to jump out of the window in the fog to escape, and Li Sishen saw the Assassin fleeing and immediately ordered the guards to seal the city and search for people to be sure to catch the assassin.
After this toss, Lord Zhao had no intention of sleeping. When the Assassin's dagger fell to the ground, he woke up and knew that someone was going to kill him. At that time, although Lord Zhao was very frightened in his heart, he had no choice, and Li Sishen appeared in time to save him from being killed.
Lord Zhao, who saved his life, found that the assassin had left a token in the place where he had just stayed. He picked up the token and looked at it carefully, and it felt very familiar, and after thinking hard, he found that this token came from the dark department under Dong Shangshu's hand. The Shadows were responsible for assassinating officials who disobeyed him, and the Assassins also used bloody methods to terrify many of the officials who cooperated with him.
Since he had no usable value, Dong Shangshu learned that he was taken away by Li Sishen and searched for the account books and keys...... He will not be left in such a dangerous way**. So he did not hesitate to send assassins from the shadows to kill him, thinking of this, Lord Zhao no longer hid anything from Li Sishen.
The next day, Lord Zhao got up early and went to find Li Sishen alone. Seeing that Lord Zhao's health had just improved, he came to her, thinking that he was finally willing to tell her the truth.
Lord Zhao told Li Sishen that the assassin who tried to kill him last night was someone from Dong Shangshu's secret department. Li Sishen asked him why he knew? Lord Zhao took out the token from his bosom and told Li Sishen that this token was the token of Dong Shangshu's secret department, and everyone who was an assassin there would have a piece.
Li Sishen saw that Lord Zhao was willing to confide in her, and told him in front of him that as long as she was there, he would definitely protect Lord Zhao thoroughly. Lord Zhao was very moved when he saw that even though he had done such an excessive thing, Li Sishen could still make a promise to protect secretly despite his previous suspicions. He also promised Li Sishen that he would cooperate with her investigation and no longer have any crooked thoughts.
"Lord Zhao, I believe that after all this, you will definitely have a different opinion of Dong Shangshu's style in your heart, right?"
"Master Superintendent, Zhao...... I already know what to do next. ”
When Li Sishen also told Lord Zhao about the poison he had in, Lord Zhao shook his head and sighed. I thought that the medicine was just a fake death medicine, and as long as he deceived the superintendent, he could protect him. However, he didn't expect that what Dong Shangshu gave him was poison. Li Sishen told Lord Zhao that the name of the poisoned medicine he was called 'Hongxin Stone' is arsenic, and although Imperial Doctor Zhang tried his best to force out the toxins in his body, it was not completely good, and he still needed to detoxify and detoxify. During this time, she told Lord Zhao not to move around at will, and to inform the guards around her if necessary. After listening to her words, Lord Zhao nodded in agreement.
