one step closer to the end

"No! We don't know what kind of restaurant..."

The women of the Yuan family shook their heads, but a young woman hesitated and said, "Master Zhao! Those of us who have been infected by the gu have all been to a women's medical center and drank their Huoxue Qushi powder, and it was suddenly closed a while ago. , could it be their Gu?"

"It must be, we also went there to drink medicine..."

The female relatives of the two ministers also shouted, Zhao Guanren nodded and said: "It seems that they committed the crime separately, maybe there are more than two places, and the closure was also after I arrived in Gusu. Ran!"

"Yunxuan!"

Ye Ji'er asked: "Since you have a Gu, why don't you do it? Do you have to wait for the Gu to mature?"

"It should be that the time is not yet ripe..."

Zhao Guanren said: "It is estimated that when necessary, we want to destroy the targets that need to be killed one by one, so as to provide convenience for their people. Besides, it is not easy to be an official, and it is useless to have a group of female relatives. On the contrary, it can make you suspicious of each other. !"

"Listen, do you still want to kill each other..."

Ji Xiaoshou came over and said: "The enemy has already put a knife on your neck. If you don't kill the enemy, you will fight in the nest. If King Zhao didn't come in time, there will be a great chaos in our court. Your Zhao family's century-old foundation will be ruined." It's ruined!"

"Brother! I can't bear this tone, it's so fucking useless..."

The third Yuan stood up furiously, and the second Yuan also said angrily: "The bastards bully people too much, even my wife has been poisoned, why are our two families fighting? Let's send troops to Taiping Island together and kill the bastards!" Only by copying the family and exterminating the family can the hatred be resolved!"

"I agree! Let go of the contradictions and unanimously speak out..."

The crown prince expressed his position very simply, and Boss Yuan also said: "I have no objection, our Zhao family's country can't be coveted by foreign thieves, but the most urgent thing is to trouble Brother Yunxuan, and check all the family members of the court. , can’t die anymore, otherwise people will panic!”

"I can help, but on one condition..."

Zhao Guanren said seriously: "Go back immediately and tell the elders of the two families that no matter what you say, all the corpse poison powder must be handed over to me for destruction, otherwise I will pat my ass and go back to my hometown. Maybe within ten years, the corpse poison will kill you Everyone's life!"

"Okay! I'll go back to the palace now..."

The crown prince glanced at Boss Yuan, and the two walked forward in a tacit understanding. After exchanging hands with their hands behind their backs, Boss Yuan came back and said, "Yunxuan! I'll go back right away, and I'll let you know as soon as I have any news, and then Gather a group of people to wait for you to cure the poison!"

"Tomorrow! Today is too late..."

Zhao Guanren smiled wryly and said: "Let's see it this way. The Crown Princess and Mrs. Yuan each bring a few experienced female relatives. Come to me tomorrow morning to help. You all know what you need. Just leave the dirty work to the servants, and you will be responsible." Guide and explain!"

"These old women are just idle and have nothing to do. If you have something to do, just tell them to do it. Don't be polite..."

Boss Yuan agreed very boldly, and the crown prince naturally had nothing to say. After the crown princess and Mrs. Yuan looked at each other, they tacitly called out all the poisoned people and brought them to the gazebo by the lake. There was a whisper.

"Ernan! I have something to ask you..."

Zhao Guanren called Ji Xiaoshou to the side and asked, "Is the masked man who came here to silence you that night the head of the Shenyin Sect? I'm not asking you questions, I just want to ask you clearly!"

"Yes! But I don't know about it, otherwise I would never let her do it..."

Ji Xiaoshou said frankly: "Actually, I have been taking the blame for her. I have no grudge against Duke Ding. The one who has grudges is the head of Shenyin sect. I have never taken money from here, but Shenyin sect is Those who are good at scouting news, I provide them with convenience and treat them as eyes and ears, that's all!"

"Can you recite the Great Compassion Mantra..."

Zhao Guanren asked nonchalantly, and Ji Xiaoshou nodded and said, "Naturally, you know everything by heart. Do you need to do something to save someone? The poor monk can help you!"

"Read a passage for Aunt Liu, she died so badly..."

Zhao Guanren patted his arm, and Ji Xiaoshou readily agreed, so Zhao Guanren walked into the back garden alone, and when he entered a small courtyard, he saw Yongning sitting on a swing, reading a book bored.

"Yongning!"

Zhao Guanren walked up to her and said with a smile: "After the eighteenth wedding next month, you will go to the border with the mission, and you won't be able to see your belly for two months!"

"You still have to stay here, when will you go back..."

Yongning looked at him reluctantly, and Zhao Guanren squatted in front of her and said, "You can't run around because you are pregnant. I will definitely rush to the border before you give birth, and then bring you mother and child home together, but how can you talk to your royal grandfather?" Say, you have to think about it!"

"Hmph~ I just said that you are so animalistic that you bullied me..."

Yong Ning tenderly kissed him on the lips, just as Yong Ping and Yong Wei also walked in, Yong Wei ran over and asked: "Uncle Huang! The grandson of the emperor gave up the marriage, can we go home now? "

"The nineteenth of next month, you guys go back together..."

Zhao Guanren patted their heads one by one, and the three princesses cheered in surprise. Zhao Guanren chatted a few more words before walking out. He came to the courtyard where he was attacked, pushed open the door familiarly, and walked quickly. Went up to the second floor.

"Your Highness!"

After saluting, the two young nurses went downstairs. They only saw the second young lady who had been famous far and wide. Jing Xing from Shenyinmen was lying on the bed with only a thin blanket covering her lower body. Her chest and abdomen were wrapped in gauze. Looking at him sallowly, he said, "You are here!"

"Drink some water!"

Zhao Guanren took the water cup and plugged it with a straw, and after Jing Xing tilted his head and took a few sips, he said, "I tell you some sad news, Er Nan confirmed it with me personally, the masked girls who killed you, It is your head master!"

"I'm not surprised, the master is not our master, our master has long passed away..."

Jing Xing said quietly: "The head of the sect has many secrets that cannot be known to outsiders. Even we don't know what she wants to do. We said that we were collecting information from the courtiers. In fact, I feel...she is helping someone to rebel. !"

"Is she connected with Taiping Heavenly Kingdom..."

Zhao Guanren looked at her with piercing eyes, and Jing Xing said: "Yes! Absolutely, I accidentally saw her meet a shadow secretly, and she was called a thousand-faced Rakshasa, what Er Nan saw was not her true face, She has never let us see her before, and her disguise is superb!"

Zhao Guanren asked curiously, "Who do you think she is? Will she disguise herself as a man?"

"Impossible! No matter how easy it is, her breasts are still there..."

Jing Xing shook his head and said: "Once I saw her waist card, a waist card that can enter and exit the palace. I didn't see what it was, but it is probably by your side, maybe you also know her!"

"Okay! You have a good rest..."

Zhao Guanren helped her pull the blanket, and said: "If you want me to avenge you, you can sort out the secrets you know, and leave them to me next time you come. If you don't want to, heal up and leave, do what you want." What you do, stay away from the rivers and lakes!"

"Thank you! Allow me to think about it for another two days..."

Jing Xing nodded movedly, Zhao Guanren smiled and turned and went downstairs, but the princess came to him just after he left the back garden.

"Brother-in-law! Come here..."

The Crown Princess called him to the rockery, and whispered: "Let's discuss it together. No one is allowed to tell the story after the poison is scattered. You have to keep it a secret for us, or you will lose face!"

"I don't know how to talk big, but you are not allowed to waste food, whoever uses it will eat it..."

Zhao Guanren laughed jokingly, but the Crown Princess was puzzled again: "Can you tell us that this kind of thing is not contagious, the Crown Prince dare not have sex with me anymore, we are all disgusted, especially six We were all terrified of what happened to Auntie!"

"I have been saying that it is not contagious, I believe I will forget it after a while, don't worry..."

Zhao Guanren patted her on the shoulder, and the Crown Princess looked at him hesitantly, but suddenly someone shouted for the Crown Princess, and she hurried out and asked, "What's the matter, what happened?"

"Great! I'm looking for the son-in-law..."

A court lady shouted anxiously: "Princess Concubine! Your nephew said he was possessed by an evil spirit, and he couldn't be cured even after inviting a bunch of mages. The Crown Prince asked someone to bring him here. You should take the son-in-law there to have a look." Well, it will be useless in human eyes!"

"I'll go! You really treat me like a hospital..."

Zhao Guanren had a grim look on his face, the princess hurriedly pulled him up and ran away, when he came to the middle courtyard, he saw a young man lying on the door panel, straight as if he was dead, his face was abnormally blue-gray.

"Death!"

Zhao Guanren ran over in shock, carefully scrutinizing the boy's whole body with soul-chasing eyes, and it really was the black death air unique to corpses, which was constantly escaping from the boy's mouth.

Chapter 0569 poisonous powder leakage

"Gui'er! What's wrong with you, wake up quickly..."

The princess knelt down on the ground crying and shouting anxiously, all the female relatives of the two families were startled by her, and ran into the yard in a hurry, only to see the young man lying on the door panel with his dead body stretched out like a gossamer. Mouth, there is only a ray of life hanging on his life.

"Don't touch him! There is death in his body, all back away..."

Zhao Guanren quickly took out his mask and put it on, pulled out a dagger from his waist and opened the boy's clothes, who knew that there was no scar on the boy's body, his eyes were cloudy but not corpse-like, and there was no poison in his body, but there was no poison in his mouth. But exhaled a faint death air.

"Strange! How could this be..."

Zhao Guanren uncomprehendingly opened the boy's belt, and simply stripped him naked. Some older girls ran out in shame, but the boy was only seventeen or eighteen years old. Whirling squatting on the side.

"Take me away, let's go together..."

The boy groaned very faintly, but Zhao Guanren couldn't tell what was going on. The boy's mouth was 100% dead air, but it was so faint that the naked eye couldn't see it. But after pressing his belly, he suddenly found that His internal organs were hard, as if a big stone had been stuffed in his stomach.

"It's over! The internal organs are all hardened..."

Zhao Guanren shook his head solemnly, and asked a few strangers, "You are his family, right? Where has he been these few days, what special food has he eaten, and when did he start doing this?"

"I'm his elder brother. He hasn't gone anywhere these days and has been bedridden..."

A scholar knelt down and said in mourning: "More than half a month ago, he went to the mountain with his friends to play. After returning, his complexion was very bad, but he was very excited. He often played until midnight and did not come back until he fell ill five days ago. Sorry, some people say that he was fascinated by the fox fairy!"

"What bullshit fox fairy, he has been in contact with corpses and the like..."

Zhao Guanren asked seriously: "Where does your family live, what mountain did he climb, and friends who travel together, are there any other friends who are in the same situation as him?"

"Our family is not in Jinling City. We live in Shuanghu County. We should climb Niudu Mountain..."

The scholar said: "There are four people traveling together, and one of them died five days ago. It is said that the situation is similar to my sixth brother, but the other two said that everything was normal when they climbed the mountain, and they separated two by two after descending the mountain. The two of them will be together all day and won't play with others!"

"I don't think you understand, what you're talking about is nonsense..."

Zhao Guanren stood up and asked, "Who is the servant girl or servant who serves him? Do you know what he's been playing with these days? Does he have a girlfriend?"

"If you go back to the son-in-law, the villain is Liuye Gui's book boy. The sixth master is seventeen years old and hasn't married yet..."

A family member stepped forward and cupped his hands and said: "Our house has strict family education, Liu Ye doesn't understand the relationship between men and women, but Liu Ye came back very late on the day of climbing the mountain. I don’t read books anymore, I just hang out with Mr. Zhang, the villain asked him what he was playing, he just said I don’t understand!”

"I just said that there are girls, only women can fascinate brats..."

Zhao Guanren looked down at the youthful young man, and the concubine hurried over and begged, "Good brother-in-law! Please save my nephew, he is the smartest, we can't do without him!"

"It can't be saved! This is the leak of the corpse poison powder, he indirectly came into contact with the corpse..."

Zhao Guanren said sharply, "If it's just an accident, it's possible to save it, but if someone does it on purpose, the entire Shuanghu County will become a dead city. You should hurry up and prepare for the funeral. If you touch his body, you must wear leather. Gloves, and the body must be burned!"

"Woo~"

The princess squatted on the ground and cried loudly, Zhao Guanren immediately pointed to her eunuch, and said: "Take the guards into the palace immediately, tell the emperor that the dead body has been found in Shuanghu County, and let the prince come to see me as quickly as possible, and the Yuan family will also come to see me." Quickly call the Yuan family brothers!"

"Okay, okay! The slave knows..."

The eunuch ran out in a hurry, Madam Yuan also left in a hurry, Zhao Guanren had someone call Lu Datou over again, and told him the general situation.

"Why did it leak in that kind of place, it shouldn't be..."

Lu Datou said solemnly: "I have been to Shuanghu County, and it is only two days away from Jinling. If the corpse poison explodes in Shuanghu County, the corpse will be able to kill here. Your Majesty Ye will not be so stupid, right? This is making fun of my own life!"

"Of course he wouldn't release poison at the door of his house. I'm afraid that he will operate blindly and let the corpse poison accidentally leak..."

Zhao Guanren took out a tiger talisman for him, and said, "Take Qiu Ning outside the city immediately, gather five hundred dragoons and the epidemic prevention brigade, and when the crown prince arrives, I will ask him to send people to seal the city, and you lead the team to search for the poison." Yuan, no one inside or outside the city can be let go, I will try my best to get there tomorrow!"

"understood!"

Lu Datou immediately ran to call Qiu Ning, and hurried out of the mansion, Zhao Guanren was sitting at the gate of the courtyard waiting, but the road to the palace was not close, he insisted on waiting until the sunset, the crown prince and the others were at the same time as the Yuan brothers. arrived.

"Yunxuan! It can't be that the poisonous powder leaked..."

The prince ran out of breath and said: "The poisonous powder has never reached Shuanghu County. Father personally went to check it two days ago. Not a single grain of poisonous powder was leaked. Besides, I just saw the magistrate of Shuanghu County. The county magistrate There are no corpses at all, are you making a mistake?"

"Go and see your eldest nephew, he's full of corpse..."

Zhao Guanren pointed to the small courtyard and said: "The black dead corpse energy will only appear on the corpse, and no one can imitate it, and your nephew has only had indirect contact with the corpse, so there is no corpse transformation. Come on, we have to seal off the city to find the source of the poison!"

"Who said the poison powder never reached Shuanghu County..."

Yuan Laoer said sharply: "Prince! At this time, you should not be sloppy. Zhang Tiansheng passed through Shuanghu County before entering Beijing, and he took the same road when he fled. If he accidentally leaked a little bit of corpse poison, the corpse poison will be destroyed." Wouldn't it spread the word?"

"This……"

The prince hesitated.

"You don't want this and that..."

Zhao Guanren continued: "I can tell you responsibly that there is 100% corpse poison in Shuanghu County. Once it spreads, Jinling City will fall within three months. I have already sent an epidemic prevention team to wait outside the city. Hurry up and send the army to seal the city, and seal the surrounding villages and towns!"

"Second brother! You bring 5000 people to assist..."

Boss Yuan winked at his younger brother, and after the crown prince entered the courtyard to look at his nephew, he also sent his second brother to seal the city in Shuanghu County. As a result, as soon as the order was finished, the princess suddenly screamed in the courtyard .

"Not good! The corpse has changed..."

Zhao Guanren rushed in quickly with a big kick, and Sixth Master Gui kicked away from the princess. Sixth Master Gui fell to the corner of the courtyard and screamed, and suddenly jumped up like a grasshopper, and rushed towards Zhao Guanren with his teeth and claws. It has become pitch black.

"Bang~"

A straight knife suddenly shot across the air, pierced through the opponent's forehead, and nailed him to the tree, but the opponent didn't even have a shit, and pulled out the straight knife with a flick of his head.

"Fuck! This is not dead..."

Boss Yuan took two steps back in horror. With his saber stuck in his head, the young man once again threw himself at Zhao Guanren without fear of death, but Zhao Guanren grabbed a guard's steel knife and stepped forward to chop off the other's head. , dodged the black blood spatter extremely nimbly.

"He, he's still moving..."
