Chapter 15: Assassination

One.

Once you start to be suspicious, then it will not be easily eliminated, what Zhong Douji said to Bingmei may be that the doctor wants to reassure the patient, or it may be similar to finding a reason to test her. But I always felt that something was weird, although I couldn't say exactly where it was, but for the suspicious Jiang Zhe, he had always been worried about it, so he began to quietly observe Zhong Douji.

The night is late, especially in late autumn like this, the night that is about to enter winter is very cold, and it will be even colder if you can't light a fire outside to keep warm, Jiang Zhe thought many times that he was doing meaningless things, and wanted to give up, but he dispelled the idea. In the middle of the night, Jiang Zhe had been freezing for almost a night, and finally saw that the sky was about to dawn and there was no movement, he looked at the sky and sighed a few times before preparing to leave.

"It looks like I'm going to have to take medicine, and suddenly I have a suspicious heart? ”

Then he quickly lay on the ground as if he had stepped on a bomb, and Zhong Douji's door was opened, and Zhong Douji walked out with a hoe in one hand and a net woven of grass in the other.

Do you want to pick herbs?

It's not unusual, it's a bit strange to think that when there are a lot of patients like recently, a lot of herbs are needed.

I'll have to go and see.

stayed up all night, froze outside for a night, and had to climb the mountain in the early morning, Jiang Zhe didn't know how much he blamed himself when he followed Zhong Douji halfway up the mountain. Zhong Dou was just looking for medicinal herbs everywhere, and he didn't have any particularly unusual behavior.

Damn, it's time to take medicine, it can't be that I'm also having a problem, right?

He didn't dare to say anything, and then sat there against the rock, having worked hard all night since yesterday, so that now his body was sleepy and heavy.

It looks like we have to hurry down the mountain and go down to sleep...

Before he could finish thinking about it, he fell asleep, and rolled from the stone to the ground without waking up, because he had given ecstasy incense.

And then Simon Crystal appeared here. Zhong Dou said in surprise after seeing Jiang Zhe.

"Are you stalking me, why are you stalking me...?"

"You guys must have some traces, so like this. ”

"What marks do I show..."

"Then how do I know, you just leave him alone, go back directly, and I will handle him cleanly. ”

"That's not going to work. ”

Zhong Douji hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, and Ximen Jing looked at him dissatisfied.

"Why?"

"Maybe someone knows that he's following me, and if this friend doesn't go back, then I really can't explain it. ”

"If you kill it, there will be no consequences..."

"Then I won't go back, at the risk of losing my head, how can I go back?"

Ximen Jing showed an embarrassed expression, thought about it, but still had no other way, and nodded helplessly.

"Very good, you can do this friend, by the way, why are you here? I came here after seeing the mark, but now I am very busy, can I get in touch with my apprentice's sister?"

"Got in touch. ”

"Huh, really? Why didn't you bring it out?"

"It's a little difficult to bring it out right now, but at least it's a good thing to get in touch?"

"It should be brought out to be considered a thing, but I heard you say that it was connected, how can it be said that it is a good thing, is it just to say this, let me come?"

"One more thing, that's true. ”

"What?"

Zhong Douji began to get nervous before he could say anything, and he was very nervous even if he thought about it.

"Now I can say that you guys are all of you, so if you give me an antidote..."

Ximen Jing glared.

"You want to make a deal with me?"

"It's not so much a deal... Now I don't know when the toxicity hits, so I can't sleep at night..."

"Let's talk about the news first, and I'll consider whether to give an antidote after listening to it. ”

Hearing that he might be able to give an antidote, Zhong Douji's eyes immediately flickered.

"Oh, now it seems that it has something to do with poison, the leaders have a meeting, and the result is to invite the poison masters. ”

"A master of poison?"

Ximen Jing frowned.

"In the Central Plains, what is the use of poison masters except me? Even if you bring that person, you can't even solve one of my poisons, no matter what, things are going to get tricky, do you know who to invite?"

"It's a guy named Qiu Long. ”

"Qiu Long?"

Ximenjing's expression was even more ugly.

"Is it someone you know?"

"Know, of course know..."

Ximen Jing was silent for a while, Zhong Douji carefully observed his expression, and was worried about whether he should mention the antidote, so the silence lasted for a long time, and Zhong Douji couldn't help but speak.

"This..."

"Give you the antidote. ”

Ximen Jing threw something over, Zhong Dou had just opened his mouth and threw it in, so he swallowed it without seeing what it looked like, Zhong Douji coughed a few times, but this thing melted as soon as it got in his mouth, so he couldn't spit it out at all.

"Oh, K'er, what was this just now?"

"What else could it be?"

Zhong Douji was secretly happy.

"Then I don't have to worry about poisoning?"

"A month. ”

"A month?"

"You don't have to worry about poisoning for a month, and when the matter has a result, I will give you a cure. ”

Zhong Douji was about to cry.

"Is it only possible to control the toxicity for one month?"

"Even though I'm a quack, I can still understand! ”

"That's..."

Zhong Douji sighed in disappointment.

"I've heard of that kind of medicine before, but I thought it was just a rumor, but now it seems that it is indeed a master of poison. ”

He probably thought of something, rolled his eyes, and quickly asked him calmly.

"Is Qiu Long's person also a master?"

Ximen Jing seemed to see through his thoughts, and then sneered.

"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking, Qiu Long, that guy can't cure my poison, and that guy can't come here. ”

"Well, the messenger who invited him today has already departed, do you say that he will refuse the invitation?"

"I'm not going to let him come. ”

Simon replied in a whisper, but quickly repeated it affirmatively.

"Without my permission, he would not have been able to come if he died. ”

He shook his head after pondering, nodded again, and then said to Zhong Douji.

"Anyway, there is something important to contact me like today, this guy will be brought back by you, he is in ecstasy, as long as he splashes water on him, he will wake up. ”

Before Zhong Dou could answer, Ximen Jing had already disappeared into the woods.

Zhong Douji shook his head slowly.

"Old immortal fellow. ”

He took out a water bag and poured it on Jiang Zhe's face, and after a while, Jiang Zhe slowly opened his eyes, and when he woke up, his first reaction was to frown.

"Does it hurt?"

"The back of my head hurts so much that it's going to explode, what the hell is going on?"

Zhong Dou has pretended to be a model.

"I also want to ask you, why are you here? Although I have just dealt with some urgently, it seems that I still have to check your pulse, have you ever had this phenomenon before? If so, it is dangerous, maybe you need to use strong medicine. ”

Two.

When Jiang Tie and Zhong Douji were intriguing, the envoy who invited Qiu Long had already set off for Liangshan. At the same time, Li Ying, Shi Ming, and the Four Heavenly Kings reunited for a meeting. Even if Qiu Long set off immediately, it would take ten days to get to Tianfu Village. So something had to be done. So the result of the meeting was that the more difficult times these are, the more business should be done as usual. But if you only send your subordinates, you will face a dangerous situation at lunch, so it is still the Four Heavenly Kings who will go out in person, which is also proposed in the meeting.

In this way, the Four Heavenly Kings want to go to the mountain road with their younger brothers to guard the mountain road, which is a joke in itself. Either to redeem the rapidly divergent sentiment of the people, or to prevent his subordinates from repeating themselves. Although this can temporarily alleviate the difficult situation, both the Four Heavenly Kings and Li Ying know that the depressed momentum cannot be reversed without a major turnaround. Besides, to make matters worse, Shi must have died.

Wang Yi, like the day before yesterday, sneaked into the cottage in the same way and went up with the stream. For three days, in the middle of the stream, I took advantage of the shadow of the rock to come out, and followed the familiar road, and the hidden figure moved. The place where Wang Yi finally arrived was not Li Ying's residence, but another palace in the middle of the gourd bottle, engraved with the three characters of the Dragon and Tiger Palace, the central building of Tianfu Village. If Li Ying's residence is a warehouse, then this is an office. But today, and in the past two days, Wang Yi peeked not at Li Ying, but at the people who lived in the Dragon and Tiger Palace, Li Ying's first confidant, the head of the guard, Sai Whirlwind Shi must be.

Shi must be like the nickname "Whirlwind", a black whirlwind Li Kui-like character in "Water Margin". With a sturdy body, dark skin, and a violent temper and righteous anger, plus two axes as weapons, it is simply the rebirth of the black whirlwind Li Kui. And he was the one who went to Jiangzhou to rob Wang's family and arrest Wang Ling.

Wang Yi climbed to the top of the roof along the protruding pillar in the east corner of the Dragon and Tiger Palace, which can be said to be the ridge of the house is the spine, and the advantage of stepping on the ridge of the roof is that the sound is quieter than the place where the tiles are stepped on. But there are also dangers. Because there will be shadows, it is also easy to spot. So Wang Yi could only crawl forward and be cautious.

After Wang Yi used this method to reach the roof, he carefully removed a tile and looked inside through the gap. Although it was a dark room, Wang Yi knew that Shi must be inside. It takes skill. He learned from Zhong Douji that the leader of the expedition to Jiangzhou was Shi Ding, so he instructed Zhong Douji to do something on Shi Douji's body. Spray something similar to perfume and identify by smell. Simple yet extremely effective. I can't see Shi Wei now, but I know that he is in the house because he smells that smell.

After confirming that the stone must be in the room, Wang Yi took out the prepared crane god mouth from his arms and blew it into the room. The sound of breathing coming from the room slowly stopped. It is difficult to inject chronic poison for three days in a row and not die. Wang Yi carried out the second phase of the operation. Extremely simple, Wang Yi repeatedly took out the jade box from his arms, and then carefully poured out the contents of the jade box through the gap, and then closed the jade box and it was over. The three-day dangerous mission came to an end, and part of Wang Yi's revenge plan was solved.

Wang Yi put the tiles back on, returned the same way and slipped out of Tianfu Village. Regardless of what happened later, I don't know that Ximenjing's poison has never failed once.

Unfortunately, it was Jiang Tie who happened to be in charge of the security of the Dragon and Tiger Hall that day when Shi must have found his body. What's even more unfortunate is that among the ten guards, he is the most trusted by Shi Certain, so he is specially responsible for guarding Shi Certain's room. And waking up the stone must also be within his responsibility, so it is Jiang Zhe's job to find the body and report it to the owner of the village. Later, Jiang Tie was imprisoned for dereliction of duty, and Shi Certain's death was the beginning of a real misfortune, especially for Li Ying.

A few days ago, three days ago to be exact, the stone must have shrunk strangely. The gray face began to turn dull yellow three days ago, turned white the next day, and turned black again today. It's not that the original skin color has been restored, but because of decay. Three days ago, I just felt a little unwell, the day before yesterday I started to sway, and yesterday I couldn't move at all, and today I directly turned into a corpse. Zhong Douji tried to diagnose the pulse and use drugs under Li Ying's orders, but to no avail, the poison of Ximen Jing would be solved so easily.

Now, there is Shi Certain's corpse here, as well as the Four Heavenly Kings and Zhong Douji.

"What? I don't know why?"

"I think it's poisoned...... But I can't figure out how it was poisoned. ”

Li Ying was furious.

"Are you still a doctor? Whether you are bitten by a snake, stung by a bee, or drunk with poison, there must be a reason! How can a good person be poisoned, find out the reason for me!"

Zhong Douji looked at Shi Douji's corpse sweating profusely, the corpse had begun to emit a foul smell and could not breathe through his nose.

"It's impossible for the weather to rot so fast in the recent weather...... There are no wounds on the body, it doesn't look like it was bitten by a snake, it doesn't have a swollen place, it can't be a bee sting, the teeth haven't turned black, and it shouldn't be that you drank ......poison!"

He opened his mouth to observe his teeth, and fell backwards with a scream.

"What's wrong?"

"That, that!"

The place where Zhong Douji pointed was Shi Certain's mouth, and from his mouth was crawling out of something like a red line. Li Ying and the Four Heavenly Kings' faces also changed.

"What the hell is this?"

The red thread came out not only in the mouth of the stone, but also crawled out of the nose, ears and eyes. The short, red thread, I don't know what it is, but it's really a bug. This kind of thing crawled out of the body of the stone.

Li Ying's face turned blue with fright, and he asked Zhong Douji.

"What's that?"

Zhong Douji replied very briefly.

"I don't know. ”

"Figure it out for me!"

Zhong Douji shook his head and asked suddenly.

"Can you have a seppuku look?"

"Slice the corpse's belly open?"

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen such a dead person, maybe seppuku can find the reason. ”

Li Ying glanced at the Four Heavenly Kings, and Cai Yan nodded in agreement.

"In any case, find out why. ”

Zhong Douji took out a short knife, and it took courage to cut the stomach itself, but now it is relatively simple to cut the stomach of the stone. The corpse has long since decomposed, and as long as you put the knife on your stomach, it will crack open.

"Sorry ......!"

Zhong Dou himself is a doctor, he has seen everything that should be seen and what should not be seen, the Four Heavenly Kings and Li Ying are also old rivers and lakes, and they have never seen any scenes, but at this moment, seeing what Shi must have in his abdomen, it is really disgusting to him. There must be white in the belly of the stone, and there are red thread-like bugs crawling out in piles. It was the thing in the jade box that Wang Yi threw at the end, and it was caused by the instant reproduction of that thing like Xiaoqiang, of course, no one here would know this.

After Li Ying and the Four Heavenly Kings went out, the matter of disposing of the corpse was handed over to Zhong Douji. Because he didn't know the cause of death and didn't want to know, Shi must have died again as a mystery.

The death of Shi must have been a huge blow. It doesn't matter that he is Li Ying's most trusted confidant, but that he has a strong physique, insists on practicing martial arts every day, and is like a man of steel, but he has shrunk in just a few days until he dies. The rumors that Tianfuzhai was cursed are already known to the whole world. Saying that the feng shui of Tianfu Village is not good, you have to invite a witch or Taoist priest to Zhai Jiao, all kinds of rumors spread everywhere, and the remaining subordinates are also quietly packing their luggage and preparing to escape.

Compared with things such as being stung by bees, diarrhea, and withering the earth, the impact of Shi Must's death is greater, similar to the shaking of the army's heart. But the worst blow is still to come, and the last savior, Qiu Long, has not come, and he can't come.
