Yan Xuhuan wasn't too surprised by Shangguan Mo's sudden appearance. After all, this is a child she raised, and it's normal to be disobedient.
The silver needle was forcibly forced out of the body by the internal force, but the poison was accelerated by the internal force. When she fainted, Yan Xuhuan's last consciousness stayed at Shangguan Mo Fei's approach, and caught her firmly. Under the calm face, there was a trace of fear caused by worry.
Zhang Yutang had long heard about the personal guard beside Shangguandan, who was also a strong martial artist at a young age, and there were even rumors that her strength was slightly higher than that of Shangguandan.
The two have been inseparable since childhood, ate and lived together, and the master and servant were as close as sisters.
Speaking of the deep love between sisters, it has been circulated in the rivers and lakes for a while. A prodigal son fell in love with Shangguan Mo's appearance and suffered from lovesickness, so he asked a matchmaker to come to the house to ask for marriage. However, it was completely damaged by Shangguandan from the inside out, every word was precious, and everyone was described as a waste snack with deep self-doubt. Immediately, he lost his desire to marry a beautiful woman, and was disheartened. Of course, this is just a chatter in the tavern after a meal.
This group of sturdy reinforcements came too soon, and the masked men who went on and on were finally wiped out, but it was a pity that the guy who was hiding in the dark and put silver needles, seeing that the situation was not right, slipped away early and disappeared.
After returning to the inn, they found the bundled real shopkeeper's group in the backyard firewood. As soon as the old shopkeeper got his freedom, he immediately followed Zhang Yutang and walked hurriedly towards Yan Xuhuan's room.
At this moment, in Room No. 3, Shangguan Mo, who was sweating profusely, was using his inner strength to force Yan Xuhuan out of some of the toxins, protecting his heart. This person who uses hidden weapons can be said to be extremely vicious. If the poison on the silver needle was placed on ordinary people, he would have died at this moment. However, even Jianghu people with inner strength, once the contamination flows into the meridians, within three days at most, they also have to step into Huangquan and report to the Lord of Hell.
The unconscious Yan Xuhuan was held in Shangguan Mo's arms. At this moment, she was really scared, her expression was no longer calm, and there was obvious panic.
The person who has always been omnipotent in her eyes is like a lifeless wooden doll, which makes her panic. The people who have been looking up, have been envious, have been afraid, and have been accompanying all of a sudden are about to disappear, Shangguan Mo feels that even his breath is a pain like a knife scraping at this moment.
The old shopkeeper was so anxious that he didn't care about etiquette for a while, and slammed the door to enter, only to see Yan Xuhuan with a bloodless face. With a trembling voice, he asked, "Little friend, how's it going?" After asking, he remembered that Shangguan Mo was a mute girl, so he turned his head and shouted at Xiao Er who was outside Hou Zai's door, "Quickly go to East Street and invite old man Wang in person. Come."
"I've already gone to invite it, and it will be back soon."
Zhang Yutang's voice fell, and the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the inn, accompanied by the mourning of the elderly. The second brother Niu was so anxious that he didn't care much, he took Old Man Wang off his horse, and then, like a chicken, he rushed up to the second floor and carried him to Room No. 3, Dizi.
Wang Laotou's short and thin body was ruthlessly thrown to the ground. If it wasn't for Zhang Yutang's eyesight, he quickly reached out to support it, and this beard trembling, blushing with anger and thick neck, Wang Laotou would have smashed to the ground.
"Well, you bandit and robber, you actually robbed the little old man, you shameless bastard." As soon as the old man stood up on his short body, he raised his head and started to blow his beard and stare at the second brother Niu, yelling, then The dense spit stars all sprayed on Brother Niu's chest.
The second brother Niu, who is tall and tall and looks like a hill, knows that his eager behavior is really rude and rude, so he endured not to care about this little old man, but just stepped back in disgust.
The old shopkeeper held down the old man Wang who was jumping up and down, and said, "The light is in danger. When you save someone, it's not too late to settle accounts with this stunned young man."
Old man Wang was confused, and when he heard the old shopkeeper's words, he immediately turned around and said eagerly, "Which bastard dares to hurt my family?" As he spoke, his three fingers were already on Yan Xuhuan's Taiyuan point. Closing your eyes and concentrating on it, the two long drooping white eyebrows wrinkled along with their brows, and they shivered.
"How? Can you solve it?"
The old man Wang didn't talk, but the frown deepened and his face became more and more ugly.
This made a few people in the room anxious, and a few hearts followed the old man Wang's face, staring at him with hope, waiting for him to say the next sentence: I can solve it.
The old man Wang quickly cut off the clothes on Yan Xuhuan's back with scissors, revealing a shocking back. I saw that the originally thin pinholes had been occupied by the dark purple texture. These textures spread like vines all over the back. When these textures occupy the whole body, it is Yan Xuhuan's death.
"You said one sentence, can you explain it?" Seeing the scene on Yan Xuhuan's back, the old shopkeeper took a deep breath and urged Old Man Wang to speak quickly.
The old man Wang shook his head and said, "The poison in the faint is [Ziman Yan]. According to the current situation of poisoning, there are still three days to live."
Although Shangguan Mo knew about it, his heart almost stopped beating after Old Man Wang said it himself.
"However, there is only one person in the world who can solve this poison."
Old man Wang's sentence made Second Brother Niu want to beat him, staring at him with big copper bell-like eyes and asking, "Who is it?"
"Humph." Old man Wang snorted coldly when he heard his voice. If it weren't for the lightness of the matter, I wouldn't have spoken to him. "Jianghu people avoid the poisonous king like snakes and scorpions - Sister Yu."
Shangguan Mo had heard of this person because she made [Ziman Yan]. If you want to detoxify her, it is no less difficult than getting the villain to be kind.
But, this is the only way to survive.
Zhang Yutang's understanding of Aunt Yu is a little deeper than Shangguan Mo's, and he has a deep understanding of his indifference and cruelty.
Shangguan Mo took the pen and paper he carried with him and wrote: "Let's go to the Valley of Beasts"
When several people saw the five words in Junxiu's handwriting, they immediately knew Shangguan Mo's plan. For a while, no one spoke and kept silent.
Everyone knows that the Poison King, Sister Yu, was hunted down by people in the rivers and lakes for using poison in his early years, so he plunged into the [Valley of Beasts]. Taking herds of beasts as a natural barrier, he settled in the [Valley of Beasts] and raised poisons, dividing a radius of tens of miles into a no-man’s land, and it became a forbidden place for people in the world.
Shangguan Mo knew the danger, and didn't ask them to risk their lives to follow. Writing was just an explanation. So I didn't even look at their expressions at the moment, I packed up my luggage, took the unconscious Yan Xuhuan out of the inn, put the people into the carriage, whipped the whip, and the horse was screaming and pulling in pain. The carriage galloped like an arrow.
Not long after, the inn closed its doors and hung up a wooden sign saying it was closed. At the door, Zhang Yutang and the others put their legs on the horse's belly, riding their horses and whipping their whip to chase in the direction Shangguan Mo left, leaving behind people who were quietly peeping in the dark of night.
The next day, when Chen Chutou got a letter from Mrs. Shangguan, he quietly copied a case file from ten years ago and sent it to Mrs. Shangguan in person.
In the main hall, in addition to guarding the iron sword, there are only Mrs. Shangguan and Chen Zhaotou. Both of them looked solemn.
Eleven years ago in the summer, the county government received a report that someone had found a body in a farmhouse. And this reporter was the mad woman who was killed last night. At that time, the woman was still a young and beautiful woman.
One day, the woman smelled a rotten smell in the air, she pinched her nose, twisted her waist to search for the smell, and finally found a pile of dismembered corpses in the vegetable garden of the next farmhouse. .
Seeing these rotten pieces of meat with maggots, the woman almost spit out bile. He was so frightened that his legs were too weak, and he rolled and crawled out of the farmhouse screaming.
At that time, Chen Zoutou was only a small yamen. He was patrolling the vicinity and happened to bump into the woman who was pale and participated in the unsolved corpse dismemberment case.
From the limbs dug out from the vegetable garden, it can be seen that the murderer is not skilled, and according to the angle and strength of the knife, it can be seen that he is a young left-handed man. After piecing together the limbs, it was concluded that the wriggling corpses of these maggots came from a man and a woman.
The woman was the owner of the farmhouse, and she also had an eleven-year-old son missing; the man was a lover of money, and he was just one of the many guests the dead woman received.
Seeing this, Mrs. Shangguan closed the case file, and for a while, many thoughts kept flashing in her mind.
In the summer of eleven years ago, that is, two days before the body of the farmhouse was found, several new servants and servants of about ten years old were added to the Shangguan Mansion.
"Madam Shangguan, what did you find?" Chen Zoutou asked when Madam Shangguan finished reading the case file. He knew that she must have discovered something, otherwise, he would not have ordered someone to ask for this long-forgotten old case.
"Indeed, these further confirm my guess. When Chen Zhaotou helps me investigate a person, you will naturally know the truth."
Mrs. Shangguan did not know what to say now, but Chen Zoutou was not in a hurry to ask questions. Seeing her confident appearance, she was also interested in deciphering it step by step.
"Okay, but who do you want me to check?"
Mrs. Shangguan tapped the case file on the table, and the curvature of her lips was inexplicably somewhat ironic: "What happened before this woman entered the hook bar."
Chen Zhaotou was puzzled. After the incident, the woman's life experience was completely stripped down, and it was clearly recorded in the case file. It is impossible to be unclear about the intelligence of the above-mentioned official's wife. Even if there was information that was missed in the past, it has already been erased by the years, and it is useless to re-examine it now. unless... ...
"Mrs. Shangguan wants to..." Chen Zhaotou seemed to have guessed what Mrs. Shangguan was thinking, and made a gesture in the air.
"Not bad." Seeing this, Mrs. Shangguan nodded with a smile.
Chen Zhutou slapped his thigh, laughed loudly, wiped his unshaven black face with excitement, and his eyes were shining brightly. Once again, he was jealous of Shangguan Zhen's waste. He didn't know what kind of deeds he had done in his previous life to marry such an excellent woman in this life.
After Chen Chutou sat for a while and left, Aunt Jiang, who was patiently waiting outside, walked slowly into the main hall.
Mrs. Shangguan sat upright and watched her stand in the center of the room without speaking, and asked, "What is the matter with me? Could it be that she is just trying to get angry with my pot of green plums outside the window."
When Aunt Jiang heard the words, she tucked her slender jade finger into her sleeve. A pair of misty peach blossom eyes stared at Mrs. Shangguan and said, "Why put people in my courtyard?"
Is it because you are worried about me
Concubine Jiang didn't dare to ask these words, but she still came here in an itching and tangled state, and she even waited for a long time outside while the cold wind was blowing.
