"My lord! My lord, here's a letter!"

A middle-aged man with extremely high cheekbones and a wrinkled face sat on a blue pear wood chair covered with snow-white sable fur in the brocade shed and pavilion.

Su Hengjian, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes wearily when he heard the servants' shouts from under the brocade shed.

"Master! The little one brought the things to the master."

The attendant ran and shouted, Su Hengjian looked at the attendant's figure from a distance, a gleam flashed in his originally dull eyes, he stroked his stubby gray beard, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously bent down slightly.

"It's the news from the brothers of the Wu family. It is said that the matter is of great importance and must be dismantled by the master himself."

The attendant ran out of breath, hurriedly handed the letter to Su Hengjian, lowered his voice, and took a step forward: "There is one more thing, the prince asked the little one to tell the master that everything is ready, and I will wait for the master to try it one last time." Medicine."

Su Hengjian's face instantly showed an inexplicable yin, which made people's heart tremble with compassion, the attendant shrank his neck and took a step back.

Su Hengjian opened the letter and read it carefully. After a while, the hatred that appeared in You Youyou's eyes suddenly arose.

"You report back to the prince, saying that the time has not come, so don't rush in, let the prince be safe and don't be impatient."

As Su Hengjian said, he folded the letter paper into pieces, put it in the small stove beside him and lit it, and then the thin smoke wafted up, "Before I act, I need to meet someone first. I will make arrangements for when to do it." .”

"Little understands."

"Go down."

"Yes."

After walking away with his attendants, Su Hengjian sat back on the chair, and after a while, he asked the servant behind him, "Where is Zhili?"

When Nan Fengjing came to the Lin Family Medical Clinic near Guoan Temple, Ying Qihong and Xun Yuandao were also there.

"You guys came just in time." Lin Jinnian saw that there were so few people together, he quickly took out the Gu medicine that he had prepared yesterday, and said, "The Gu medicine that Gu Li got from Donglu, I tested it repeatedly and confirmed that it is indeed Yuan Xiao's medicine." The Gu medicine that Yan has poisoned in Lei Tingjun's residence is correct."

Ying Qihong picked up the Gu medicine powder on the table for a closer look, and when he was about to smell the powder, Lin Jinnian immediately stopped him.

"Don't smell it. This medicine has a strong smell and is not lightly toxic. It will damage the body to some extent." Lin Jinnian put away the Gu medicine and said, "I used rats to test the medicine. The symptoms after the treatment are almost exactly the same, but it may be due to the different dosage of the medicine, the poison in Yuan Xiaoyan's medicine is obviously more toxic than this prescription."

Nan Fengjing couldn't help frowning, "That is to say, the poison in Yuan Xiaoyan was introduced from Donglu?"

"No, strictly speaking, it was introduced from the Western Regions." Xun Yuandao said: "Ever since Donglu belonged to Xiangguo, the government has been cracking down on Gu insects and Gu medicines, prohibiting local people from developing and trading them. I am afraid that the only ones who are good at raising poisonous people are from the Western Regions."

"Western Regions." Ying Qi Honglue pondered for a moment, and then answered, "Since the death of the first king and emperor of the Western Regions a few years ago, the neighboring Beiyan and Ming Dynasty have both attacked together. The power of the Western Regions is exhausted. Two years ago, he sold the city for money to survive. Now there is not much land left in the Western Regions, and the people of the Western Regions have also scattered and left. Lei Tingjun's ability to hide and secretly use Gu poison in the mansion at the beginning is enough to prove that he has colluded with the people of the Western Regions. "

"Even..." At this point, Ying Qihong couldn't help but his eyes twitched, and he thought of the worst layer in his heart, "Lei Tingjun is the sixth brother's man, and he is the only one in the court who is on the bright side. The military general who supported Sixth Brother's ascension to the throne, he colluded with the people of the Western Regions and secretly used Gu to poison, it is hard to guarantee that this will be one of the methods that Sixth Brother will use in order to seize the throne in the future."

Lin Jinnian was slightly startled, "However, the imperial court clearly forbids insidious and voodoo techniques. If King Ruozhao really used these forbidden techniques secretly, wouldn't he be trying his own method to challenge the emperor's power?"

"No one reported, who would be stupid enough to commit a crime and surrender himself?" Xun Yuandao's face was a little unsightly, "Now we can't take it lightly, no matter whether this Gu poison was arranged by King Zhao or Lei Tingjun used it secretly, the Gu poison from the Western Regions The poison has already entered the Xiang Kingdom. This time Yuan Xiaoyan was lucky and survived the catastrophe, but the next person who is poisoned will have this good luck."

Lin Jinnian clenched his fists secretly.

The more Xun Yuandao thought about it, the more angry he became, "If the official hadn't committed suicide in fear of crime, I would have pried his mouth open and made him confess everything."

"It's a little empty to say this now." Nan Fengjing paused for a while, and then turned to Ying Qihong, "You asked Xiao Zheng to secretly follow King Zhao's guard Jingye, did it work out?"

Talking about this matter, Ying Qihong's face showed a gloomy expression, "Sixth Brother, be cautious. Xiao Zheng has followed Jing Ye for more than ten days, but gained nothing. Moreover, during this period of time, Jing Ye no longer sneaked into Su's house, and even I have been staying at the Sixth Brother’s house all the time, and I am not as close as I used to be to protect the Sixth Brother. I suspect that the Sixth Brother has noticed something, so he replaced the bodyguard.”

The news of nothing made everyone in the room silent for a while, but Ying Qihong seemed to think of something, and immediately said: "But I sent someone to investigate, not only Jing Ye, but also Su Su Dong, who has been in the Su residence for more than a month. out."

Mentioning Su Sudong, Lin Jinnian asked aloud, "Is it to avoid King Zhao?"

"I don't know about this. It was the spies who sneaked into Su's residence who found out and reported it, so I thought there was a clue."

Ying Qihong explained, "I guessed that Su Sudong might be avoiding the pursuit of the sixth brother, but after Jing Ye's assassination failed, the sixth brother did not attack again, and Su Hengjian did not intend to pursue it further, which made me start to suspect The assassination in the Qianfu is a fake news. But Su Sudong did not show up at the palace banquet where Su Meizhi was canonized as a concubine."

Nan Fengjing: "Everyone knows that Su Sudong likes to show off, it's fine if she doesn't show up on weekdays, but it's rare to enter the palace, and she probably didn't know that King Zhao wanted to kill her. According to the usual inference, she will Do you easily pass up the opportunity to perform like this?"

Xun Yuandao nodded to express his reason, "That's true."

"Why don't you let me go to Su's residence to have a look." Lin Jinnian thought for a while, and said, "I am about the same age as Su Sudong, so it is reasonable and reasonable to hand over the greeting card to be a guest at Su's residence."
