As soon as Yang Ning looked at Duan Canghai's expression, he knew that Zhuo Qianyi was indeed an extraordinary person.
"It seems that you really know Jiuxi Poison King." Yang Ning sighed: "The person who poisoned me this time should be the disciple of Jiuxi Poison King."
Duan Canghai said in shock: "Master Hou, are you really sure that he is a member of the Jiuxi Poison King?" He frowned and said: "This matter will be difficult to handle."
Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "Canghai, who is the Poison King of Jiuxi?"
"Jiuxi Poison King is a white Miao people from Bashu." Duan Canghai explained: "The third lady knows that there are many barbarians in the land of Bashu. Among the many barbarians, the Miao people are the strongest. It is often said that the Miao people are seventy The second cave is entrenched among the mountains and rivers of Bashu. The king of Shu, Li Hongxin, is powerful in Xichuan, but he mainly tries to appease the Miao people and does not dare to offend easily."
Gu Qinghan nodded and said: "I know that there are many Miao people in Xichuan, and I heard that the Miao people also fight with each other."
"Yes." Duan Canghai said: "The Miao people's seventy-two caves are divided into raw seedlings and mature seedlings. Raw seedlings refer to those Miao people who live deep in the mountains, isolated from the world, and have not been civilized. Green seedlings and red seedlings Miao people are all Miao people. There is also a type of Miao people who can speak Chinese and trade with Han people. Black Miao, White Miao and Hua Miao all belong to Miao people. Jiuxi Poison King is a White Miao person. White Miao people The human strength is second only to the Black Miao people. Black Miao are good at Gu and Bai Miao are good at poison. Jiuxi Poison King is the number one poison master of Bai Miao and can also be said to be the number one poison master in Xichuan."
"Since they are Miao people, why do they want to find the capital and have a grudge against us?" Gu Qinghan frowned and said, "The name Zhuqianyi sounds like a Han Chinese."
"This is the pseudonym of the Poison King of Jiuxi." Duan Canghai said: "Many of the mature seedlings have Chinese names. Before Swing Yi became famous, the most masters of poison in the world were the Tang family from Xichuan. The Tang family is Han, and Zhuo Qianyi came to the Tang family to compete with the head of the Tang family in poison skills. How could the Tang family look down on a mere Bai Miao at that time, so they did not give Zhuo Qianyi a chance. As far as I know, only Less than half a month later, people in the Tang family began to be poisoned one after another. In just half a month, there were more than 270 people in the Tang family, and in the end only a few people were left. "
Gu Qinghan's color changed slightly, and Yang Ning also took a breath of cold air. He could naturally tell that the person who carried out this murder must be Jiuxi Poison King Shui Qianyi. This person is cruel and ruthless, so it is no wonder that he has a disciple like Anao.
"The Tang family is the number one poisoner family in Xichuan. There is nothing we can do. The head of the Tang family watched helplessly as the entire family was poisoned to death one by one." Duan Canghai looked serious, "The Tang family is a poisoner, and no one in the world wants to provoke them. So they don’t have many friends in the world, and naturally no one will help them in times of crisis.”
"What's the situation of the Tang family now?" Yang Ning asked.
Duan Canghai said with a wry smile: "The Tang family had abandoned its dogs and chickens decades ago. When the head of the Tang family was discovered, all the flesh and skin on his body had dried up. There was a flag hanging on the door of the Tang family that read "Jiuxi Swing Yi" has five words, and since then, the reputation of "Zhu Qian Yi" has spread all over the world, and people in the world have changed their minds when talking about it."
Gu Qinghan's pretty face was a little pale at this time.
"Zhuqianyi has always been active in Xichuan and rarely leaves Sichuan." Duan Canghai looked sternly, "Master Marquis, you said that it was Zhuqianyi's apprentice who committed the murder this time. Have you ever offended the Poison King of Jiuxi?"
Yang Ning knew that the matter was of great importance, so he hesitated for a moment, and finally briefly told what happened. Duan Canghai was surprised and said: "I see, if that's true, the person who poisoned this time should be the little witch named Anao. ”
"Miss Tang said that the little witch will not let go and will come again." Gu Qinghan was worried, "Canghai, they are still stalking Ning'er, what do you think we should do?"
Duan Canghai frowned and said: "Master Hou, from my point of view, the Jiuxi Poison King may not have the intention of the little demon girl poisoning people this time. Although the Jiuxi Poison King has unparalleled poison skills, he still has to take care of Bai Miao after all. Man, if his apprentice kills the Marquis, it will be a blatant rebellion, the court will not sit idly by, and the Bai Miao people will be in disaster."
"You mean this is what the little demon girl means?" Gu Qinghan asked.
Duan Canghai nodded and said: "Jiuxi Poison King has no enmity with our Hou Mansion, and he cannot easily become enemies with the court. This little demon girl must have made her own decisions. If so, there is no need to worry too much. If it is Jiuxi Poison King, The Poison King of Jiuxi takes action personally, so we can only ask for help from Daguangming Temple, and Poison King Jiuxi has to worry about Daguangming Temple. Now he is just an apprentice of Poison King Jiuxi, and we still have Miss Tang to help us, so we may not be able to deal with that little demon girl." He lowered his voice. The voice said: "We can set a trap in the Marquis' Mansion. If the little demon girl persists in her evil intentions, we can lure you into a trap."
Gu Qinghan shook his head and said: "Ning'er means the same thing, but Miss Tang said that the little demon girl is very cunning. If she notices it, she will probably kill Ning'er. She is hiding, and we are hiding, so we have to be on guard."
Duan Canghai frowned and said: "This kind of person is so elusive that it is difficult to find out her whereabouts. Moreover, no one knows when and how she will poison her. It is impossible to prevent her."
"Have you ever heard of blood washing?" Yang Ning was silent for a moment and finally asked: "Clean the blood with herbs and it will be immune to all poisons."
Duan Canghai said in astonishment: "Is there such a method? I have never heard of it."
Only then did Yang Ning speak out Tang Nuo's suggestion, and said with half-belief and doubt, "It goes without saying that Miss Tang has medical skills, but I have never heard of the medical skill of blood washing."
"Ning'er, I think it's better to be cautious." Gu Qinghan whispered: "I don't doubt Miss Tang, but according to what you just said, Miss Tang's origin is unclear, and she has something to do with the little witch... !" After a pause, he said: "It is essential to be on guard against others."
Duan Canghai nodded slightly and said: "Master Hou, what the third lady said makes sense." After thinking for a while, he slowly said: "But having said that, in the land of Xichuan, there are many strange people and strangers, and there are people like Swing Yi who use poison to transform. There are naturally many other experts and strangers. Miss Tang said that she can wash away blood. Although it sounds a bit unbelievable, it may not be true. After all, we have not seen it with our own eyes, so we are not sure, but we cannot categorically deny it. .”
Yang Ning smiled and said: "Second Uncle Duan means you can wash away the blood?"
"No, no." Duan Canghai hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Mr. Hou, please don't misunderstand me. I am just telling the truth. If you can really be immune to all poisons, then it is naturally what you want, but... I don't know if Miss Tang is. She has another purpose." She lowered her voice and said, "But Miss Tang doesn't look like a bad person, nor does she look like she wants to harm Mr. Hou. Otherwise, Mr. Hou will be poisoned this time. As long as she doesn't take action, Mr. Hou... He will return. There is no magic left."
Gu Qinghan said quietly: "You know people, you know faces, but you don't know hearts. Don't rush to let her wash away her blood. Let's wait and see."
In the next few days, the guards at the Hou Mansion became even tighter, and Duan Canghai was always near Yang Ning. In order to prevent the little demon girl from poisoning him again, Yang Ning even quietly moved to another courtyard.
Fortunately, because the Hou Mansion had strengthened its defense, Anao had no chance to sneak in. In addition, since Yang Ning was wary, he naturally could not let anyone succeed easily. For several days in a row, everything was fine.
Tang Nuo did not mention the bloodbath since then.
Two days later, the blocked streets and alleys began to reopen, but Yang Ning also learned that the newly enthroned emperor had led many officials back to the capital, and the late emperor had also moved into the imperial mausoleum.
Although before this, many people vaguely felt that the succession to the throne this time would not be simple, and there would even be bloody upheavals, but in the end, it was a smooth transition without any danger. Although there was an undercurrent in the capital, it did not turn into a war in the end. A bloody fight.
Next, an edict was announced to the world. The new emperor ascended the throne, changed his reign to Longtai, and granted amnesty to the world.
Only people in the capital can truly feel the tension and depression that has enveloped the capital in recent days. Now that the overall situation has been decided, people are finally breathing a sigh of relief.
Although a few people knew that this period was a difficult time related to the fate of the country, they still survived in the end.
Ordinary people naturally don't know how many transfers there are in the court, but the Black Knife Battalion was eventually transferred out of the city and is still stationed in the military camp on the outskirts of the city. The Tiger God Battalion still guards the gates of the capital, and the Royal Yulin Camp was transferred out of the capital. He returned to the imperial city and guarded the palace.
However, some people secretly rumored that after the Royal Yulin Camp was transferred out of the city, it went through a huge personnel transfer. Many high and middle-level generals were promoted and rewarded and transferred out of the Yulin Camp. In fact, they were promoted openly and secretly. Although Many people even received titles and greatly improved their salaries, but they were deprived of their real power.
Ordinary people naturally don't know whether it is true or false, and Yang Ning has no time to care.
Although the shadow that Anao brought to him has not disappeared, what he is most concerned about now is the panacea in Tang Nuo's hand.
Although the emperor issued an imperial edict and granted Yang Ning the title of Marquis, he did not grant gold or silver. At present, the Marquis Mansion's finances were already stretched thin. According to Qing Han's estimate, it would not last for two months.
Unlike other princes and nobles, the Jinyi Hou Mansion has no other source of income except for restaurants and two shops. Now that the pawnshop was burned down, there is only one medicine shop left. It is no doubt that only one medicine shop can support the expenses of hundreds of people in the Hou Mansion. It's just a fool's errand. In this case, you can only find another way.
Tang Nuo's medicine is of course a source of great economic potential. If the medicine is really that magical, of course, production can be expanded, and then the business will be booming and the wealth will be abundant.
When the two arrived at Yong'an Hall early in the morning, the drug store had just opened for business. When Mr. Song saw the two entering the house, he immediately came up to greet them, cupped his hands and said, "I have seen the Marquis!" He was already kneeling on the ground. .
The Prince of Jinyi and the Marquis of Jinyi certainly have two different concepts.
Prince Jinyi is only the heir to the Marquis and does not have a title, but Marquis Jinyi is a genuine marquis. Naturally, Mr. Song does not dare to show any contempt.
Yang Ning knew that the news of his attack on the title had spread, so he pulled Mr. Song up and said with a smile: "Don't be like this, as it was before, it will be the same now. Mr. Song, do you know the reason why I came here? Has that child ever come back?"
Mr. Song looked at Tang Nuo beside him, straightened his clothes, bowed to the end, and said with emotion: "Miss Tang, please forgive me for my blindness and blindness. If I have offended anyone, please forgive me. It was really eye-opening for me once. I know what it means that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the mountains!"
