The two waited for a long time before they saw Tang Lei walking over with a weak look on his face, holding his stomach. Although his face was pale, the dark circles under his eyes had obviously faded, and the lifeless energy on his body had also dissipated a lot. At least he wasn't about to die just by looking at him. That look.
Chen Gong was surprised that he could make Tang Lei get better quickly just by seeing Su Li check his pulse without using any other means. Such medical attainments are not much different from Qi Xianqing's. No wonder Qi Xianqing accepted her as a closed disciple.
Su Li stretched out his hand to Tang Lei again. Tang Lei showed a look of fear. His fat body shook, but he still stretched out his wrist. The feeling just now reminded him of Su Li, and also made him understand the little jailer in front of him. , will not harm yourself.
This time, Su Li only felt a pulse before taking his hand away and said, "It's okay for now. From now on, you don't have to eat three meals a day at home. Even if you drink water, you have to go outside. Ling Li is not your good brother. Well, why don't you ask him for help, it's better to live in Ling Mansion."
Tang Lei heard the meaning of Su Li's words and stood still with a dull face. It took him a long time to come back to his senses. There was a deep sense of loss in his eyes and he murmured: "I don't fight for anything anymore, why do I still... "
Chen Gong narrowed his eyes and said to Su Li: "Are you sure of the detoxification?"
"There are enough materials in the house. If Mr. Chen is willing to wait, he can be detoxified today. But the poisoner has not shown up. Even if I detoxify him, there is no guarantee that he will not be poisoned again."
"Then let it go."
Chen Gong sent a message and waved to Tang Lei, "You, come with us."
Tang Lei also found that Chen Gong didn't seem as scary as he thought. He nodded and got behind the two of them, and followed them into the inner hall of the side mansion. Seeing that neither of them had any intention of stopping, he stopped talking several times, and finally He couldn't help but said: "Mr. Chen, this is Lecturer Su's place. Isn't it good for us to do this...?"
After this guy had a severe diarrhea just now, he didn't even realize that the little jailer was Su Li.
"You shouldn't ask, don't ask too much."
Chen Gong's voice was cold, and Tang Lei was so frightened that he immediately dared not speak out.
Su Li shook his head slightly. Taking poison for many years had affected Tang Lei's brain and made him stupid. He didn't know who hated him to the core and wanted to torture him to death in this way.
The three of them came to the study room in the back hall. Chen Gong and Tang Lei were immediately shocked by the "cleanness" of the back hall.
"This...Does Professor Su usually live here?"
Tang Lei's face was full of astonishment.
In the empty house, not only were the copybooks and papers that Su Li used to practice missing, but the entire bookshelf had disappeared. Not even a single piece of furniture could be found in the entire room. The floor was so clean that you could look in the mirror, and it had obviously been cleaned with great care.
There was solemnity in Chen Gong's eyes. From this alone, he could tell that his opponent was terribly scheming and not easy to deal with.
Su Li walked in and walked to the wall where the desk was originally placed. He tapped the stone bricks in a weird way several times. The originally solid stone bricks gradually became loose. Su Li took the right opportunity and quickly moved to the right. The ground of the house thundered.
Slowly, the floor in the center of the room moved away, revealing a stone staircase going down.
Su Li's expression was calm. The exquisiteness of Tianhe Kingdom's mechanism skills would always amaze her no matter how many times she saw them.
Chen Gong and Tang Lei were even more surprised. Chen Gong was horrified. He recognized the origin of the mechanism and asked, "Is this left by your master?"
"No."
Su Li shook his head, "This is a gift from my senior brother."
Her cultivation level was not high enough to discover the Black Iron Secret Chamber. The senior brother she had never met before was obviously not only an expert in medicine, but also had a talent in mechanical skills that ordinary people could not match. One day, she read the legacy left by her senior brother. In the notes I wrote down, I used the text arrangement of Guigu Mingjing between the lines to unlock the secrets of the tunnel.
This is evident from the thoughtfulness of the senior fellow apprentice.
"Senior brother..."
The figure of a cold-faced young man flashed in Chen Gong's mind. His origins were much more mysterious than Su Li's. He never revealed his real name. All he knew was that he asked those dudes to call him "Lecturer Yu."
The three of them walked down the stone stairs, and the mechanism above their heads gradually closed. The lights on the walls on both sides immediately turned on automatically, illuminating the stone room extremely brightly.
This stone room was much larger than the study on the ground, covering almost the entire underground space of the side house. It was hard for Su Li to imagine how the senior brother could deal with the underground stone and soil, which was not much softer than black iron.
After bypassing several stone pillars, Chen Gong and Tang Lei followed Su Li to a place that was similar to a medicine shop. The walls were covered with medicine cabinets and there was an old ladder next to it, as if it had not been used for a long time.
The huge medicine table was piled with messy bottles and jars. The smell of the medicine mixed together and turned into a very strange smell, but it made Tang Lei feel extremely comfortable, as if his weakness had disappeared for a while.
"Master Chen."
Su Li shouted, and Chen Gong immediately took out a porcelain bottle, which contained poisonous stomach mass obtained from Ma Ling's body.
Su Li took it and threw it into a transparent container, sealed it and threw it aside. Then she turned around and picked up the medicinal materials on the medicine cabinet and put them in the bamboo basket, saying:
"Master Chen, I need two hours to refine the antidote. Why don't you just take a walk around. My senior brother left me a lot of strange people and stories, which are on the bookshelf on the left. They are very interesting to read."
After giving an explanation, Su Li turned on the mechanism and entered deeper into the alchemy room.
Seeing the colorless container containing Ma Ling's stomach mass, which became colorful, Chen Gong twitched his lips, walked to the bookshelf, took down a book, and looked at it quietly.
Only Tang Lei looked confused and at a loss.
"What antidote?" Looking at Master Chen Gong's smile, he had the illusion that he was in a dream.
——
In the spacious alchemy room, the stone door made a dull sound and was slowly closed. The light was not dim. You could see that the shelves on the wall were filled with bottles and jars, and there were also many yellow-skinned files. At a glance, you could tell that it was more beautiful than what was placed outside. precious.
The smile on Su Li's face disappeared and turned into the indifference when she was alone. She lit the fine charcoal and waited for the temperature to gradually rise. Her eyes were filled with deep thoughts.
It is not difficult for the planners behind this matter to guess that since Yunjing City is missing Baiweilou and Su Li, the person who will benefit the most is not the group of dandies, but Wu Xiuxiu of the Wu family.
After such a long time, it was not a secret among the upper class circles that the master behind the scenes was so how could she not know who it was.
I just thought that it was one thing, and finding evidence to prove it was another thing. Chen Gong had to provide convincing evidence in order to clear Baiwei Lou's suspicion and turn him from a perpetrator to a victim.
The Wu family has always been ruthless in their methods. Su Li could think that they had destroyed all the things that had been removed from the Pang Mansion, and most of the things that had disappeared from Ma Ling's body had also been destroyed.
Thinking of this, Su Li frowned tightly. There was nothing she could do at the moment. It seemed that she had to wait until she tested the poison before making any plans.
Time passed by minute by minute.
Maybe because he was bored, Tang Lei came close to Chen Gong and read the book together. The contents of the ancient book were amazing. Tang Lei was shocked when he saw it. His unseen expression made Chen Gong utter a low voice. smile.
Gradually, Tang Lei's fear of Chen Gong weakened. The two chatted about recent events, and Tang Lei learned that something big had happened in Baiwei Tower.
"Sir, what are you talking about? Ma Ling and the others are all dead?!" Tang Lei looked shocked, lowered his head and murmured in surprise: "Anyone dares to harm Ma Ling? That shouldn't be the case. I met him that day, and he With a happy face, he also said..."
"What else can you say?"
Chen Gong put away the ancient book with a clear look in his eyes. Unexpectedly, Tang Lei had come into contact with Ma Ling that day.
"Ma Ling and the others usually like to bully me, and they also like to show off to me..."
Tang Lei shrank his neck and said in a panic: "Although I hate them, I have never thought of killing people. Master Chen, I did not kill them!"
Chen Gong suddenly laughed angrily, "I know it wasn't you. What did they say that day?"
If Tang Lei could kill people, then the sun would really rise in the west.
Tang Lei breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Chen Gong would misunderstand him and take him directly to the Criminal Department. He stared at his eyes and recalled carefully. Suddenly his mung bean eyes lit up and he said happily: "I remembered it. Ma Ling him said that he I will soon become an official student of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and get rid of my status as a side government. They even asked me if I wanted to go with them."
Um? !
Chen Gong immediately felt that the words were strange. With Ma Ling's talent and learning, it was impossible for him to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Even if his father dared to blatantly bribe the Academy of Chinese Academy of Sciences, it would be impossible. Under the emperor's feet, the Academy of Chinese Academy of Sciences was still the most unscrupulous. How dare Ma Weiming get into trouble.
So, who promised Ma Ling to go to the Chinese Academy of Sciences
Ma Ling was not a fool. The person who gave him the guarantee must have enough status to deceive Ma Ling into doing something for a reason that was fake and real.
this matter…
When Chen Gong thought of this, his scalp suddenly became numb and his eyes were horrified.
If it was really poisoned by Ma Ling, how should we investigate it? !
How did he poison himself
Seeing Chen Gong suddenly showing such a terrifying expression, Tang Lei couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear.
Suddenly, there was a sound on the stone door behind him, and he was so frightened that he fell to the ground. Then he turned around and saw Su Li coming out of the alchemy room, and the fragrance of the elixir filled the air.
Su Li glanced at Chen Gong, who was deep in thought, without disturbing him. He walked up to Tang Lei and handed over a bottle of elixir, whispering:
"Take one pill every three days. You will be fully recovered after twenty-one days, but your appearance will not change in any way, so as not to alert the enemy. Go live in Ling Mansion and tell your good brother exactly what I said. Save your life, you know?”
Tang Lei nodded quickly and put away the elixir in a daze. He didn't understand, so he could only memorize that sentence and say it back to Brother Ling.
But one thing he knew very well was that the little jailer was not a bad person. The expression on her face when she gave him detailed instructions was exactly the same as the concern of his dead mother when she gave her instructions before her death...
Seeing Tang Lei write it down, Su Li nodded slightly, and then brought up the topic, "What's wrong, Mr. Chen?"
