Speaking of which, Wei Tingyu had no intention of intervening in this matter, although the matter had actually reached the point where Kaiping Guard could intervene. However, compared with so many bigwigs in the court, his qualifications were still too shallow, and he had no intention of being in the limelight, so he only planned to be a bystander. Besides, sometimes, standing outside the situation, one can see things more clearly.
Therefore, Wei Tingyu only made a preliminary statement and said a few words.
It was not difficult for Wei Tingyu to understand what happened, but it was not necessary now.
Originally, the assassination incident was enough to make people very angry, and when they were trying to rescue people, someone took advantage of the opportunity. Their anger increased tenfold and a hundredfold. If it wasn't Princess Anguo, if it was someone else, General Gu would have been dead by now.
The faces of several big shots in Liuqi were also very grim. They almost took control of the scene in the first moment, allowing no one to enter but not leave. However, because of Xiaocao, they did not directly attack Qi Chao.
There is a problem with the medicine, and it is right in front of us. If we start from here, the previous assassination may be easier to find a breakthrough.
The people who handled the process of getting the medicine, boiling it, and making it into an infusion medicine were all Xiaocao's people. These people had clean family backgrounds, knew Xiaocao well, and followed him almost day and night, so there would be no problem.
The imperial physician from the Imperial Hospital helped check the drug residue and compared it with the prescription. They found a drug that shouldn't be there. The medicinal properties were not strong, but General Gu had been poisoned before, so even if they wanted to detoxify him, it would not be easy to remove the poison in a short time, especially since Xiaocao sent someone to assist them in the investigation. They learned that what was injected into General Gu was just a general antidote, which was only to stabilize the condition from worsening and to complete the operation. Complete detoxification would require some follow-up efforts.
Further investigation revealed that one group of people went to the pharmacy, while another group was looking for someone to get the medicine.
The people who went to the pharmacy were unaware of the situation, but the person in charge of getting the medicine found that the body was already dead and was thrown among the flowers and trees. It was late at night and even with a lantern, it was almost impossible to find it.
There was a line of blood on his neck, which was obviously a fatal blow. He offered no resistance at all. It was unknown whether he was silenced after putting irrelevant medicine in the body, or someone else silenced him in order to seize the medicine.
Naturally, both Qi Chao and Liu Kai were very dissatisfied with this result. However, there was a 99% chance that the clue was cut off. As expected, the people who came back from the pharmacy did not find any problems.
As for the assassin who killed General Gu...
It is a very absurd thing to say. When these people from Liuqi saw the women of Qi Chao, even those who preferred bodybuilding aesthetics could not help but feel itchy when they saw the gentle, fair-skinned and beautiful women. They were sensible and would not mess with ordinary girls from decent families, but hiring prostitutes was too common. They would either go outside or invite them to the inn.
Of course, it's not just the brothel girls, there's also the opera troupe.
It was not the first time that the person who came today was called to the clinic, and the one who accompanied General Gu was his "old lover". The woman was indeed beautiful, but compared to General Gu, she was very petite. However, this petite woman happened to be the murderer who assassinated General Gu. The sharp dagger pierced into General Gu's abdomen and cut him horizontally.
This process takes time and strength. Logically, a weak woman cannot do this. However, it really happened.
Furthermore, before entering the inn, there was clearly a thorough search, so how was the dagger brought in
As the person involved, General Gu's life or death was uncertain, but the woman knew what the result would be before she acted, so she took poison in advance, and General Gu was assassinated. Liu Qi's anger did not reach her before she died.
As a general who has been fighting for years, is he not vigilant
It was inevitable that he would make a few sarcastic remarks, but Qi Chao was not happy about the things hidden under the water.
