Seven bitter flowers

Chapter 20: Don't talk about the way forward, let someone ask

Zhan Zhao was at a loss, he asked Ding Xiu, "What happens when the flowers bloom?"

Ding Xiu looked at Zhan Zhao with a strange expression, and her voice was so soft that it would shatter if touched: "Zhan Zhao, do you really believe that Qikuhua can bring the dead back to life and make people live forever?" Before Zhan Zhao could answer, she lowered her voice again. She laughed a little, shook her head, and said word by word, "I don't believe it, I don't believe it. What this flower can bring is killing and death. Zhan Zhao, haven't you noticed? This is a serial Retribution, as long as it is touched, no one can escape. My ancestor, master and wife, Changzhou Mo family, and Murong Qing, which one will have a good end? They all believe that seven bitter flowers can make people stay young forever, Immortal, but who of them used this flower to save the one they love? Who can really live forever?"

Zhan Zhao looked into Ding Xiu's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "This is why you must destroy the Seven Suffering Flower?"

Ding Xiu shook his head again, frowned, as if thinking about what to say, pondered for a while before saying: "20 years ago, only the Mo family suffered from the Qikuhua. On the one hand, it may be because the Qikuhua didn't fully show The medicinal effect they expect. Another important reason may be that they don't know the cultivation method of the seven bitter flowers.

"Zhan Zhao, you have also seen that this time, they killed so many people and took their internal organs away in order to test the cultivation method of Qikuhua. In the medical book left by my master back then, there was a The method of cultivation only wrote four words: 'nourishing medicine with blood'. They have already killed so many people just to try to cultivate the seven bitter flowers. Just imagine, if the seven bitter flowers are really successfully cultivated by them, so What will happen if the cultivation method spreads?"

Zhan Zhao didn't speak.what will happenThis question does not require him to answer.Flowers that can bring people back to life and live forever, flowers that can only bloom after drinking human blood, if such flowers really spread...

Zhan Zhao thought about what Ding Xiu said from the beginning to the end, connecting them together, and a possibility gradually came to mind.He stood up, looked at Ding Xiu and said, "The Jiangning Mansion case was also committed by that person?"

Ding Xiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "You guessed it." She stretched out her hand and brushed her forehead hair, and said with a wry smile, "It has been three months since the Kaifeng case, and three months coincides with the flowering period of the seven bitter flowers. The children in Jiangning Mansion are missing, it should be the person who caught the children to test the medicine."

Zhan Zhao frowned, a little surprised: "Experiencing medicine?"

Ding Xiu smiled and said: "That's right, if you make a drug, wouldn't you find a dog or other animal to test its toxicity? The man caught the child to test the drug's properties, after all No one has ever been brought back to life by taking the seven bitter flowers. What's more, when the seven bitter flowers are not in bloom, they are still poisonous that can kill people instantly."

Zhan Zhao frowned: "How to test the medicine? Do you give those children seven bitter flowers?"

Ding Xiu raised her teacup and took a big sip of tea, then said after taking a breath, "I don't know how that person will test the medicine. But if it was me..." She looked at Zhan Zhao, her voice was a little unsteady, "I They will feed those children all kinds of drugs, or... kill them, and feed them seven bitter flowers."

Zhan Zhao couldn't help but angrily said: "To use such cruel means to deal with little children, it's like a snake and a scorpion, not as good as a beast! If Zhan can't bring this gangster to justice, he will really stand between heaven and earth in vain."

Ding Xiu had never heard Zhan Zhao speak so sternly, so he couldn't help being taken aback, and said slowly, "Zhan Zhao, don't be angry. They probably haven't done anything yet."

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, barely suppressed the anger in his chest, and said after a long while: "How to say?" Ding Xiu pulled Zhan Zhao, motioned him to sit down, and then continued: "Today is the tenth day of October, if I guessed correctly , They should test the medicine on the night of the full moon, before then, those children should be safe. Zhan Zhao, there are still five days, enough to rush to Jiangning Mansion."

Zhan Zhao asked puzzledly: "The night of the full moon? How do you know?" Ding Xiu smiled "hehe", put his index finger in front of his mouth, and said with a smile: "This is a secret, I can't tell you yet."

Zhan Zhao looked at Ding Xiu, knowing that if he continued to ask, he would just be making fun of himself, so he paused and said, "How can you know where those people are hiding in the huge Jiangning Mansion?" Ding Xiu smiled wryly: "If I If you know it, you don’t have to worry about it. I think we can always find some clues when we get to Jiangning Mansion. The man brought so many children, so he won’t leave easily.”

Zhan Zhao pondered for a while, got up and said, "I'll go and tell Big Brother Lu right away, let's go to Jiangning Mansion right away, without any delay." He frowned again, "You're not in good health, are you okay? "

Ding Xiu waved his hand, with a nonchalant expression on his face: "It doesn't matter, I heard you say that there are children missing in Jiangning Mansion, and my mind was confused. It means that old man Ye Shengtian made a big fuss, and I don't know about my own body? Don't worry, just go."

Seeing Zhan Zhao's back leaving, Ding Xiu let out a long breath, and slowly slid down against the pillow. Just now she had said so much with all her strength, but now she just felt her temples throbbing and her body went limp. I just want to close my eyes and cover my head and fall asleep.

While rubbing her temples, she thought: that person chose to commit the crime in Jiangning Mansion, which means that he has certain influence in Jiangning Mansion.Judging from all the previous signs, Murong Qing was just one of them being used by him, and Murong Qing didn't have the Seven Bitter Flowers in his hands, but was subject to that person instead.And Red Dragonfly should have an even more unusual relationship with him. In the bamboo forest outside the city, only Murong Qing was silenced, which shows that Red Dragonfly is still valuable to him.From this point of view, that person may have known Red Dragonfly a long time ago, trusted her more, and could make both Murong Qing and Red Dragonfly obey him. Cheng Zhu, has certain influence in Jiangning Mansion and Daming Mansion, has collusion with local government, may also have secret contacts with the old turtle, and is proficient in the art of poisoning, participated in the old case of the Mo family 20 years ago...

The most important thing is that this person must be aware of his existence, and he is well aware of his whereabouts and movements in Kaifeng.Otherwise, someone would not come to tamper with his horse as soon as he entered the city, and he would not commit the last crime just when he was exploring Kaifeng at night and was followed by Zhan Zhao, which would make Zhan Zhao suspect him and implicate Murong Green as a scapegoat.

Ding Xiu's eyes narrowed slowly, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. This man is a difficult opponent, perhaps, the most terrifying opponent she has ever met.

However, she is not afraid.
