Chapter Ninety-Eight: Poinsettia
In front of the lobby of Huojiazhuang, Du looked at the red smoke and dust that filled the entire hall with a solemn expression, and frowned. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"Lethe's predecessors know what this thing is. ā
Since he decided to join the Holy Fire Sect, Lechuan was repeatedly told by Zhang Wunian to have a good relationship with the people around Bai Jiu.
It was even more special to explain that Du and Gao Shun were Bai Jiu's henchmen, and they must not be offended.
"Judging from this way, everyone in Huojiazhuang is obviously poisoned to death, but I have walked the rivers and lakes for many years, but I have never seen it. ā
Du saw that Lechuan didn't know much about it, so he could only turn around and ask Huo Du, who was not in a state of mind.
"Huo Du, before you left Huojiazhuang today, did you find anything abnormal.
Although Huo Du has been disliked by the people of Huojiazhuang for many years and called waste wood, he is the person of Huojiazhuang.
Although he also wanted to use the hands of the Holy Fire Sect to control Huojiazhuang before, from beginning to end, he never thought of killing the people of the Huo family, after all, Huo Du also knew that he owed the Huo family too much.
But at this time, when facing the corpses of those who were sneering at him in the past, Huo Du felt as if his heart had exploded.
Judging from the current situation, there are thousands of people in the entire Zhuangzi of Huojiazhuang, and I am afraid that in addition to himself, there are only Huo Yuanqing and Huo Liu.
Huo Du's heart seemed to be dripping blood, and he wanted to roar loudly and find the murderer to break his body to pieces, but Huo Du restrained all these emotions and silently remembered them in his heart.
Seeing Du asking himself, Huo Du barely stabilized his mind, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered in a somewhat hoarse voice.
"Before I left the village today, everything was as usual in the village, and I didn't find any accidents, but just now Yuan Qing and Xiaoliu said that there were guests in the village today, and I think this matter is probably related to this person. āā
As soon as Huo Du finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps, and when he looked up, he saw Huo Yuanqing and Huo Liu, with sad expressions and a little tears on their faces, and they ran over in a hurry.
"You two came just in time, tell me who is the guest in the village today. ā
Huo Du saw the two of them, and immediately asked the two of them in a hurry.
When Huo Yuanqing and the others saw Du and the others, they knew that their two guesses were right, and Huo Du and the others were obviously not murderers.
Otherwise, there is no need to be so verbose with the two of you, and you will kill it directly, at this time, seeing Huo Du asking, he didn't dare to hide it, Huo Liu said to Huo Du in a deep voice.
"Uncle Huo Du, not long after you left today, the owner of the village took all the uncles to the outside of the village in person and welcomed an old man in his sixties into the village. āā
"It just so happened that I was near Brother Yuanqing, and the owner of the village saw it, so he asked us to stay at the mouth for the time being, and I don't know what happened next." ā
"You can have an impression of the old man's appearance. ā
After listening to the words of the two, Du Bu didn't wait for Huo Du to speak, and looked at Huo Liu with a solemn expression and said in a deep voice.
"This is the Holy Fire Sect Du Zuo Envoy, Du Zuo Envoy asks you two things, you two must not hide it. ā
When Huo Du saw Du asking, he immediately didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly commanded the two of them.
At this time, Huojiazhuang suffered a great change, and Huo Du knew in his heart that if he wanted to rely on himself and the two Huo family juniors, the chance of finding the murderer was definitely slim, so he could only rely on the hands of the Holy Fire Sect to find the murderer.
Although Huo Liu's two people didn't know Du's status in the Holy Fire Sect, from Huo Du's expression, they could guess that he must be a great person, and he didn't dare to slack off at the moment.
"Replying to the left envoy's words, the old man was dressed in a colorful robe, and his long gray hair covered his face, but we didn't see it clearly. ā
Listening to Huo Liu's words, everyone immediately felt worried, although it was temporarily determined that the old man was the most suspicious, but they didn't know where he was born, and they didn't even know what his appearance was.
"There is no owner and other masters in the village, presumably they are all in the lobby at the moment, but now this red smoke and dust are shrouded, how can this be good. ā
Huo Du looked a little irritable, looked at the lobby shrouded in red smoke, and looked at Du Dao a little helplessly.
Du couldn't do anything about it, after all, there was a precedent for the people of Huojiazhuang, and Du Ke didn't dare to risk the lives of the people of the Holy Fire Sect and ordered his subordinates to break in and investigate.
"I don't have a clue about this matter for the time being, I will leave people to guard here for the time being, and after I report to the sect master, everything will be handed over to the sect master. ā
"Hey, I didn't expect to see poinsettias in this remote area, which has long been extinct, and it's worth the trip. ā
As soon as Du's words fell, a voice suddenly came, and Du and the others hurriedly heard the sound and looked.
Then he saw that on a treetop a few feet away from him, a man dressed in white and wearing a hat was standing on it, swaying in the wind.
Seeing this, Lechuan beside Du immediately sank in his heart, and stood in front of Du without a trace, and said in a low voice.
"Du Zuo envoy be careful, this person is extraordinary, not an idle person, don't fall in love with the slightest mistake when there is a slight mistake, withdraw first. ā
When Du Wenyan heard this, he immediately nodded solemnly, and the highest martial arts among himself and others was Lechuan.
Lethe in the middle of the second rate said that this Dou Li's martial arts were extraordinary, and Du certainly didn't dare to take it lightly.
At this time, the surrounding Holy Fire Sect members also discovered that the situation was wrong, and immediately more than 300 people drew their knives out of their sheaths, and surrounded Du and the others in the middle with a bang.
"Tut! Martial arts are not good, and the battle is not small. ā
Seeing that the other party's tone was disdainful, Du's face was ugly, and he asked out loud with a gloomy expression.
"Who is Your Excellency? ā
When the man in the hat heard this, he laughed softly.
"I'm just a crowd watching the excitement, but it's hundreds of you who were frightened by poinsettias, which has no medicinal effect, but it's really funny.
"Don't you know that this poinsettia is highly poisonous only at the beginning of the incense period?" ā
"This is called poinsettia, so all the people in my Huojiazhuang were killed by this poinsettia. ā
Hearing the words of the man in the hat, Huo Du immediately couldn't bear it anymore and asked out loud.
"Yes, this poinsettia is a well-known poison in the rivers and lakes, and it only takes a small bottle to open it and it will float in the surrounding air. āā
"Poinsettia, colorless and tasteless at first, until the medicinal effect of a pillar of incense expires, the space containing the toxin will become a blood red, and the person who is poisoned by this poison will also die directly and instantly, and the whole body will die of purple and black poison. ā
"However, this poinsettia has long been extinct in the rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect it to appear here. ā
The man in the hat looked at Du and the others with interest in his arms with his hands in his arms, and spoke.
"In the midst of this throne, this seat wants to see where you are sacred. ā
As soon as the man in the hat finished speaking, he saw a figure flying straight from outside, and instantly stood in front of Du and the others, it was Bai Jiu who had just arrived from the main altar of the Holy Fire Sect.
