The backyard of the government compound is the residence of senior officials.
Du Taiping occupies a small single-family building.
A group of people accompanied Li Zhen here. The nearby guards and sentry posts did not dare to ask questions and all were allowed to go.
Li Zhen walked around twice with his hands behind his back: "Look here, it's quiet in the bustle. There is a unique paradise in this bustling Quancheng County, and people will still enjoy it."
As he spoke, Li Zhen raised an arm, and a white homing pigeon flew to rest on his hand begging for food.
Liu Jinghong asked, grabbing a handful of corn and throwing it over, and the pigeon followed him: "Master Li. Why do I think Xun Shifei is more terrifying than Du Taiping."
Li Zhen smiled: "Double-edged sword. Under Xun Shifei's regime, New Kyushu will definitely be more prosperous than during Du Taiping's period. But if it arouses Xun Shifei's fear, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences can no longer use its influence on Du Taiping. That kind of tolerant policy.”
Several people gathered around, raised their ears and whispered:
"Master Li, what are you saying? If Xun Shifei has intentions, we have to strike first?"
Li Zhen nodded: "It's not that he has any intention. It's just that if there is a little friction and contact, he will take action. Xun Shifei City Mansion is far behind Du Taiping, but he does whatever it takes to achieve his goal, but let me I have seen it more than once. He does not show off easily, which is the same as Du Taiping. But the difference is that Du Taiping never dares to show off, while Xun Shifei seizes the opportunity and will strike with thunder, regardless of the consequences. He is good at diverting trouble to the east, and he is also like a poisonous snake."
Jia Liping frowned, his expression very heavy: "Then we can't raise tigers to cause trouble. The Kyushu Academy of Sciences is the core of New Kyushu, and he will be afraid of us."
Li Zhen shook his head: "He won't. Because he admits it."
"admit?"
"I have talked with him once before, although I am not sure how true or false what he said is. However, Xun Shifei recognizes the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. He just wants to have absolute power, so he recognizes the independence of the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. He and Du Taiping's thoughts are different. Du Taiping is strictly guarding against letting us establish the Society for Co-Prosperity of Mankind. Xun Shifei is eager to let us establish the Society for Co-Prosperity of Mankind. Because he is afraid of us and hopes that we can go out independently as soon as possible, preferably in the international community. Stand firm, so that you will not get involved with the new Kyushu regime. His ideas are very strange, but they coincide with ours. Therefore, this is why Xun Shifei pulled the Kyushu Academy of Sciences to take the blame with him, but I did not touch him s reason."
Li Zhen stopped, stopped at the door of Du Taiping's house, and said quietly: "Although I don't care about politics, the people of this country are with me, including the army. They all listen to the Kyushu Academy of Sciences. No one dares to attack the Kyushu Academy of Sciences within ten years." . But we have to be careful. If nothing happens, Xun Shifei will be the emperor for eight years... Liping."
"Master Li, I'm here."
"Find an opportunity to help Zhang Haiyang from Xiping County. Xun Shifei can't be too careless. He needs a vigilance hanging above his head at all times."
Jia Liping was shocked: "Xun Shifei said that Zhang Haiyang would never be promoted. In this case, isn't his intention too obvious?"
Li Zhen smiled and said: "Just to make the intention clearer, Xun Shifei did not dare to stop him when the Jiuzhou Academy of Sciences helped him up and walked into Quancheng County. Compared with a few years later, when the entire government was full of Xun Shifei people, he helped him up and walked into Quancheng County. Zhang Haiyang, even if he pays some price, it is still a good deal. Xun Shifei's prestige can be great, but it must not be too great... "
After saying this, Li Zhen strode into Du Taiping's room.
In the room, there was a room full of doctors, and there were many people waiting on them. The saddest one was Du Taiping's secretary. At this time, his face was full of tears. It is also understandable that the master let people continue to do it. He, a person who knows a lot of things, will end up in a very mysterious place...
"Dean Li, are you here?"
Du Taiping's secretary was no longer as brilliant as before, and came over with a flattering smile.
Li Zhen waved his hand casually and then walked to the bedside.
Du Taiping's face was blue-grey at this time, a little swollen, and his breathing was very rapid, but he was taking in more air and less out.
Seeing Li Zhen coming, Du Taiping quickly got up and climbed up, but was held down by Li Zhen: "Don't get excited. I'll take you to Laoshan for retirement."
When Du Taiping heard this, tears flashed across the corners of his eyes, and then he burst into laughter.
Seeing his expression and his miserable appearance now.
It is difficult for Li Zhen to equate the once all-powerful man who secretly stole the country, rebelled against the imperial court and founded the Beizhou Kingdom, and then almost intercepted and killed Xun Shifei several times, and finally successfully ascended to the throne of the new emperor of Kyushu.
No more heroic. The hero weeps.
It was also because of the harshness of the world that Du Taiping resigned, but no official asked him to come over. They are all afraid of a gentleman and a courtier.
Li Zhen patted Du Taiping's hand and said with a soft smile: "This disease can be cured and his life can be saved."
Du Taiping understood the hidden meaning, exhaled heavily, and then smiled bitterly: "It's a bit of a loss."
Li Zhen waved his hand, and everyone immediately evacuated the room. After it was quiet, Li Zhen said, "It's more than a little loss."
'cough cough cough'
Du Taiping coughed violently a few times, and then said with great effort: "What a shame. In fact, I had thought long in advance that he was going to be hard on me. I had been on guard, but in the end, the Thousand Miles Dike was destroyed by an ant nest. He plays from the inside out.”
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Do you know what's going on?"
"From the third day after he came back, I suddenly had endless government affairs to deal with every day, and I would miss meals every time. I am not a particular person, and I usually eat whatever is available and convenient when dealing with things... I didn't have it at that time I cared too much about it, but now that I think about it, I eat porridge every now and then.”
"Eating porridge? What happened to eating porridge? What kind of porridge? Did he poison the porridge?"
"He didn't dare to poison me. I wasn't poisoned either. I don't know if it was the porridge, but the only abnormality was the porridge. It felt normal when I ate it, but now I feel it's not normal. I don't know. I’ve eaten that kind of porridge.”
"What kind?"
"Have you ever eaten almond millet porridge?"
Li Zhen was confused: "Almond porridge? Where is this way of eating?"
"I haven't heard of it either, but I eat whatever the cook cooks. I'm never picky, and I don't care about big fish or meat. But if I eat too much of that porridge, that's it. All I can think of is This anomaly... The cook said it was a secret recipe that nourishes the stomach. Haha, it is really nourishing."
Li Zhen thought to himself for a moment: "I'll keep it in mind for you. I'll help you ask what this is later. Do you want to wait until he takes the throne tomorrow and leave with me, or do you want to leave now?"
Du Taiping said quietly: "This is the residence of the emperor. I am no longer the emperor, and there is no reason to stay here. I should make room for others as quickly as possible. Please help Dean Li make arrangements. I will go to Laoshan tonight." Well. I'm afraid he won't feel at ease."
"OK."
“…”
After walking out of Du Taiping's residence, Li Zhen called Lin Guofu and Yuan Bing from the Biology Institute, called them to the leeward place and whispered: "Du Taiping said he ate a kind of porridge, almond millet porridge. And then that's it .”
Yuan Bing was confused: "Almond millet...how to eat this?"
Lin Guofu suddenly raised his brows: "Then I know. Xun Shifei used the principle of food mutually reinforcing each other. Some things are not poisonous, but together they are poisonous."
"How to say?"
"Almonds and millet are in conflict with each other. When the two meet, they will induce toxicity. But this toxicity can even lead to coma. The most terrifying thing is not actually the meeting of almonds and millet. The most terrifying thing is the meeting of almonds and millet with the enzymes in saliva. The two are in After it is completely decomposed in the digestive tract, when it encounters water, it will produce hydrocyanic acid through the action of enzymes. This will then cause poisoning.
After hydrocyanic acid poisoning, a person's face will turn gray and his body will become weak. The symptoms are not serious at first. You will only feel discomfort in your trachea and a little pain in your stomach. However, after deterioration, respiratory failure and pulmonary edema will occur. It worsens, the liver fails, and the heart becomes enlarged. But usually if you don't get to that point, you will die from respiratory failure. "
Li Zhen took a breath of air, this was worse than poisoning.
Xun Shifei actually studied these things
