Jiapingguan Chronicle

Hearing that Shen Haolin, Shen Cha and Xue Ruitian had been assassinated, almost everyone ran to the big tent to watch the fun, oh no, to condolence them.

Song Qiyun dragged Xia Jiu with one hand and Chen Jiu with the other, and rushed to the front of the big tent, only to see a group of shadows lighting something everywhere, and the whole front of the big tent was shrouded in smoke. "Yo, here we come!" The leader was Ying Wu, who saw Song Qiyun, Xia Jiu and Shen Jiu, and hooked his hands at them, "Don't move!"

As he spoke, he smoked the three of them back and forth with the smoker in his hand.

"What's this for?" Xia Jiu covered his nose, "What's the smell? It's so choking?"

"It seems to be the mugwort leaves that sister Miao Miao gave to Uncle Yan when his back was injured." Chen Jiu also covered his nose and coughed twice, "Fourth brother, what are you doing? I have to pay the big bill."

"Hey, it should be exorcising evil spirits!" Song Qiyun rolled his eyes, pinched his nose, and said in a stern voice, "Those three people have encountered such a large-scale assassin again, so we don't have to use moxa leaves to fumigate them." Xun, drive away bad luck!"

"Shouldn't that be to drive away the bad luck of the three of them? Why smoke it for us?" Xia Jiu coughed twice, and finally waited for Ying Wu to finish it, and ran away in a whizzing way, "Put it away, those assassins Woolen cloth?"

"In death row." Ying Wu extinguished the moxa leaf in his hand, ran around the big tent twice, stood at the door of the big tent, lifted the curtain, and waved to the three children, "Even if you don't come, the country Grandpa also wants to call you."

Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and Xue Ruitian were discussing how to interrogate the people in the east courtyard in the big tent. They had already heard the bustle outside, and saw the three younger brothers running in from the outside, waving at them.

"Sit, no need to salute."

Seeing that the three children were all seated, Shen Cha asked Mei Lin to bring them the freshly made milk tea. Seeing that they were drinking happily, he narrowed his happy eyes and smiled softly.

"Brother, sister, Brother Xiaotian, are you not injured?" Shen Jiu quickly looked at the three of them, "Although they are all little thieves, we were still shocked when we heard the news. It has been a long, long time No one is so bold as to actually commit an assassination in the street. I heard that the assassin is not from our Daxia? It seems to be saying, you Daxia?"

"We're fine. The battle ended very quickly. The brothers on patrol even complained to Merlin. If it ends so quickly next time, there's no need to throw arrows at them." Xue Ruitian chuckled, watching the three younger brothers drink I was very happy, and Guan Meilin asked for a cup of milk tea, "Of course, that's not why we called them, but to ask them to do a favor."

"It's not helping with the fight, so what can I do?" Song Qiyun saw the small hawthorn cake on Xue Ruitian's table, and reached out to take it, "Cleaning the battlefield?"

"That's right!" Xue Ruitian pointed at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha with a look of disgust, "Obviously they are the two most clean freaks, and they are very careless when they fight. You say, you are worried that they will bite the teeth hidden in the back molars. For the poison sac inside, just remove their jaws, there is no need to beat people until they vomit blood and knock out their teeth, right? "

"That's right!" Shen Jiu nodded, glanced at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha who were expressionless and seemed to be talking about something that wasn't about them, "Brother, sister, did you two just do this?"

"For a fight, there's nothing left for you, right?" Shen Cha spread his hands, shrugged indifferently, and said, "My brother and I are not the gentle type, let's solve the main problem first, and leave a few A living creature, isn't it?"

"That's true." Shen Jiu nodded and yawned, "However, people outside say that they are not Daxia people, but foreigners, is that true?"

"Wait a minute!" Merlin tugged Shen Jiu from behind, "What do you mean everyone outside said it? No one knows about the assassination last night?"

"Who else is there? The whole city knows."

As soon as the words were finished, Qin Zheng came in from the outside, followed by Ying Wu.

"Uncle Qin/Master!"

All the people in the big tent stood up and saluted Qin Zheng, Xue Ruitian rubbed aside, left his table case to Qin Zheng, and squeezed together with Song Qiyun holding milk tea.

"Master, did you just say that the whole city knew about it?"

"That's right, indeed the whole city knows about it." Qin Zheng took the milk tea that Mei Lin handed him, nodded towards Mei Lin, then looked at Shen Haolin, Shen Cha, and finally at Xue Ruitian who was sitting beside him, "You guys What the hell is going on with you guys, why did you run out without sleeping at home? In the end, you met an assassin, how did this assassin get here?"

"According to the assassin, we know too much, and they came to silence." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes, "With such a level, I'm ashamed to silence, and I don't know what he thinks. As for why you don't sleep in the middle of the night , run out, we can explain this, but you just said that the whole city, why does the whole city know about it?" He blinked, "No one saw the fight in the middle of the night, and it was cleaned very clean in the morning , how can everyone know?"

"You guys think you didn't see it, but you have seen it, and there are quite a few." Qin Zheng gave Xue Ruitian an angry look, "Who can we hide from shooting arrows in the middle of the night?"

"Oh!" Xue Ruitian stroked his chin, "It seems to be the case. The last time the loud arrow was released in the middle of the night, it was when the goldsmiths were fighting! Everyone thought that Wanyan or Yelu had lost his mind again and came to attack the city in the middle of the night. Bar?"

"That's right, the people who lived nearby took a sneak peek, only to realize that you were under siege." Qin Zheng sighed, drank two sips of milk tea, and said, "What's going on?"

Seeing Shen Haolin and Shen Cha making a "please" gesture at the same time, Xue Ruitian knew that the two of them had left the explaining work to him again, so he gestured towards them and began to explain the previous day to Qin Zheng in detail what happened at night.

"The Soul Nail?" Qin Zheng thought for a while, then shook his head lightly, "No, you are wrong, even if a wealthy family has private soldiers, they would not use such a vicious thing. Yes, whether it is a decent family or a so-called crooked school, it will be involved. But the Soul Nail is indeed as you said, divided into two types, one is planted when it is still a child, and the other is The first is to seal a few important tendons with thin needles, but how to do it, I don’t know. The second is to use it on adults. The success rate of this kind is extremely low, but once it succeeds , this person is like a walking dead, without any thoughts, everything obeys the master's orders."

"So that's how it is." Shen Haolin thought thoughtfully, "The ones in the east courtyard should have been planted when they were children. They haven't lost their consciousness, they just talk nonsense occasionally."

"Didn't Miao Miao say that the nonsense is actually the cause of the Gu worms, and has nothing to do with these soul-snatching nails." Xue Ruitian grabbed Qin Zheng's arm, "Uncle Qin, right?"

"Yes, if it was planted at a very young age, the mind is clear and will not talk nonsense. This symptom should be caused by Gu worms in the brain." Qin Zheng looked at Xue Ruitian, "It is from the brain. Did you get a Gu worm out of it?"

"I don't know about that. Miao Miao didn't say it, and we forgot about it. Our attention was attracted by the Soul-Seizing Nail." Xue Ruitian continued to hold Qin Zheng, "Do you know this Soul-Seizing Nail?"

"I know a little bit, but the kind of thin needles you mentioned are not real soul-destroying nails."

"What should it be called?" Xue Ruitian touched his chin and asked very interestedly.

"I'm not very clear about the real name." Qin Zheng shook his head lightly, "Few of us have been in the rivers and lakes. This kind of indiscriminate means of controlling people is not our serious military. People who know how to use it will use it. Of course, not all people in the Jianghu are bad people, there are only a very small number of black hearts, and they are still the kind of powerful black hearts."

"That is to say, ordinary Jianghu people can't do this kind of thing?"

"En!" Qin Zheng nodded, "Since the people behind the Qinglian Sect have such means, it means that they have won over many people in the Jianghu, or it can be said that the scum of the Jianghu is working for them."

"Surrender?" Xue Ruitian sneered, "That is indeed a sacrifice. This time, tell them that no matter how hard they try, they will never come back. Those who march and fight are different from this group of people who go to the rivers and lakes to perform. They care about it." What we care about is how many moves we can win, but what we care about is how to kill him with one blow as quickly as possible."

"Don't underestimate the enemy!" Qin Zheng patted Xue Ruitian on the arm, "If you don't know their styles, you can't easily judge what methods they will use, you know? You haven't heard of it."

"I know, but isn't there a problem here?" Xue Ruitian raised his head and sneered, "In the face of absolute strength, any tricks and tricks are futile."

"That's true." Qin Zheng nodded, "However, when you ask about the Soul-Seizing Nail, do you want to remove the nails for those people?"

"Yes!" Shen Cha nodded, "Miao Miao wants to try."

"I advise you not to do it. Those thin needles have already integrated with them and become part of their meridians. If you try to forcibly separate the fine needles from their bodies, they may die instantly."

"So serious?" Seeing Qin Zheng nodding, Shen Cha and Shen Haolin looked at each other, and they both looked at Xue Ruitian at the same time, "Then let's inform Miao Miao not to try this for the time being. It’s better to save their lives first.”

"It's good that you know it in your heart." Qin Zheng nodded, "What else do you want to ask?"

"It's gone for the time being, mainly because of the soul-destroyer nail and the poison on them." Xue Ruitian sighed while resting his cheeks, "Uncle, do you think there is a poison that requires regular antidote? If you take the antidote, this person will die?"

"This must have happened." Qin Zheng looked at Xue Ruitian, chuckled, and said, "This kind of thing was not uncommon in the previous dynasty. Those princes and ministers who raised dead soldiers and fine workers in their families all used this method." To control the people under him."

"It's because they know that some people may not be able to be loyal to themselves, or to be loyal to themselves from beginning to end. They must use some means. Poison is the best, most effective, and most convenient means." Song Qiyun also looked at Qin Zheng, "That's right?"

"Yes, they can only rely on this method to force others to work for them."

"The previous dynasty... tsk tsk tsk, really left behind a lot of messy things, the scum who made these things popular and prosperous, they probably will be tortured in the [-]th floor of hell?" Xue Ruitian rolled his huge eyes, "But these destructive things they left behind have really made future generations miserable. I don't know where the people behind the Qinglian Sect know. From their words, it shouldn't be How do people in the Central Plains know about this?"

"The previous dynasty couldn't help the sea, and sea business is still very frequent." Qin Zheng smiled, "People from certain islands will also come to Middle-earth out of curiosity. This is not new at all."

"If I knew it, I would have written to Liu Shuai later, so I should have added this paragraph." Shen Haolin thought for a while, and suddenly thought of the letter to Xijing City, he looked at Shen Cha, "Lao Jiu is leaving? "

"Well, it's been two hours." Shen Cha saw that Shen Haolin breathed a sigh of relief, and chuckled, "Meilin helped prepare the things, and he took them and left. Don't worry, brother, the business will not be delayed."

"That's good." Shen Haolin let go of the heart he was holding, "Now wait for those people in the east courtyard to wake up."

"Hey, what about the people from yesterday?" Because Xia Jiu was so hungry, he had been eating all the time just now. Pazi wiped his hands and said, "Aren't you going to interrogate yesterday's assassin?"

"It doesn't make sense." Shen Cha waved his hand, "They are all mortals, they will never say anything, even if we pull out their fangs, they won't say anything, these people, whether to ask or not to ask Same. The only thing that can really break through their defenses is to let their masters know that they have been arrested and send someone to kill them to silence them. If they survive by chance, they may be able to ask a few truths from their mouths. "

"Actually, there is no need to silence them. As long as their bodies are poisonous and they need to take antidote regularly, they will not speak."

"If this is the case, wouldn't it be easier to get them to talk? After all, Miao Miao is the best at detoxification." Xue Ruitian raised an eyebrow at Shen Cha, "You don't have to worry about this, it's all Let Miao Miao deal with it. Even if these assassins die of poison, it doesn't matter, we can show those people in the east courtyard what the end of working for their master is!"

"Two birds with one stone, wonderful!"
