Chapter 111
Jiang Youzhi became even more puzzled: "Why have I never heard of this person?"

Poinsettia said in a deep voice: "Deng Xiuquan, the former governor of the tiger's inner guard, the most trusted person of the emperor, he secretly executed more than a hundred courtiers who seemed to have different intentions on behalf of the emperor as an inner guard, which made all civil and military officials frightened. A few days ago, Deng Xiuquan suddenly rebelled and seriously injured the emperor. The emperor was rescued by me back then.

Jiang Youzhi asked curiously, "What about Deng Xiuquan?"

Poinsettia sighed and said: "He was seriously injured by me, escaped from the palace and was killed by other hidden guards. He was already dying when he was captured and brought to justice. After the emperor hanged his head, he ordered his body to be flogged for several days. And I asked someone to do it so that he would never be reborn."

Jiang Youzhi heard it and said: "I can't blame the emperor for not letting him go after his death. The tiger inner guards are all selected by the emperor himself from among the emperor's personal soldiers. A small inner guard has great power because he has direct access to the emperor. Not to mention the chief of the inner guards, the chief governor, the emperor has entrusted him with such a heavy responsibility, it shows that he has great trust in him, to be betrayed by such a person can be said to be heartbroken, and it will surely add fuel to the flames."

Poinsettia said: "Deng Xiuquan is the only person in this world who can use this invisible heart-breaking poison, but he didn't even leave a complete body back then, how could he come out to make trouble now?"

Jiang Youzhi then asked: "Is it possible that he is not dead?"

Poinsettia shook her head: "Impossible. I know this person very well. I accidentally saw his body back then. It is absolutely impossible for him to still be alive."

Jiang Youzhi looked at the unconscious person on the bed, and said, "So, we can only know what the truth is after this person wakes up..."

On Poinsettia's side, he took up a pen and wrote down a prescription: "You find someone to grab the medicine first, this person's condition is still extremely unstable."

"Xiao Qiu, you go to the county to get the medicine with the prescription, remember to go and come back quickly." Jiang Youzhi said to Qiu Changming.

Qiu Changming took the prescription and said firmly, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon." After speaking, he went out.

Zhaoyang County Government Office.

The county magistrate Fu Renyi was checking the official documents in the room, when a guard came in suddenly and reported: "My lord, I went to look for Sun Pei's body in the broken pavilion in the mountain early this morning, but... the body was gone, only a bloody crawling trace was found."

Hearing this, Fu Renyi said anxiously: "What? Could it be that he escaped! Did you follow the traces?"

The guard then replied: "The humble officer followed the bloodstains, but the heavy rain last night washed away most of the bloodstains, so the humble officer searched around, but...but he didn't find any trace of Sun Pei."

"There is no corpse... There is no corpse..." Fu Renyi clenched his fist with his right hand anxiously and tapped his palm: "Could it be that he was rescued by someone!"

Thinking of this, he was terrified, and said to the guards: "You continue to lead people to search, turn Helian Mountain over, and you have to find Sun Pei for me!"

The guard was about to turn around to do it, but Fu Renyi seemed to remember something and said again: "By the way, I searched people from house to house near Helian Mountain. If he was rescued, he must get the medicine. In the medical clinic above, those who buy medicines, check them carefully for me!"

"Yes! I'll do it now!"

After the guards left, Fu Renyi paced anxiously around the room, and said incessantly, "If anything goes wrong with Sun Pei, he will be in real trouble! Trouble!"

At this time, a man in black robe suddenly appeared in the darkness, and he said in a calm voice, "Don't worry, he has been poisoned by me, and he won't live long."

Fu Renyi shook his head: "This is not the most troublesome thing. The troublesome thing now is that the emperor has sent Pei Xun to investigate the case. If he knows about Sun Pei, then we will really..."

Hearing this, the man in black froze, "What? He's coming!"

Fu Renyi was a little panicked and said: "Yes, I also only learned the news before you came today, and I just wanted to tell you how vigorous and resolute Pei Xun's handling of the case is. What happened to Sun Pei last time was just one disaster after another, and now I'm afraid we will have a lot of work to do!"

The black-robed man said in a deep voice: "I was careless. After poisoning Sun Pei, I thought that Sun Pei's life would not be long, so I didn't continue to pursue it. It seems that for the present plan, this Sun Pei must die!"

Fu Renyi nodded and said: "I have already sent additional people to look for it, and within half a day, there will be results."

Early the next morning, after Qiu Changming fed the man in black on the bed to drink medicine, Jiang Youzhi and Pei Xun came to check on the man.

After taking the pulse for him, Poinsettia also said: "The pulse is still stable, so it's very good."

Ah Chang also just entered the door, and he told Pei Xun, "My lord, our people have set up ambushes at the foot of the mountain and on the mountainside."

Pei Xun nodded: "Observe closely first, stand still, and never startle the snake."

Ah Chang replied: "Yes!"

After hearing this, Poinsettia was a little careless and said: "What is there in Helian Mountain? Does it take so much trouble?"

Pei Xun said in a deep voice, "Neiwei."

Poinsettia said indifferently: "What's so strange about the inner guards? In the entire Zhou Dynasty, mountains, rivers, lakes and seas, is there no inner guards?"

"Weapons of the Ministry of War." Pei Xun continued.

Poinsettia frowned upon hearing this: "Who is so bold in the barren mountains? This is a serious crime of beheading."

"Thousands." Pei Xun's light voice came again.

As soon as these words came out, the poinsettia who was drinking tea directly sprayed out a mouthful of tea, and Jiang Youzhi subconsciously wiped it with a handkerchief: "Senior brother, how old are you?"

But Poinsettia grabbed her junior sister's arm and resigned righteously: "Junior sister, let's run."

Jiang Youzhi was puzzled and said, "What?"

Poinsettia said with a face full of resentment: "Run with brother Wei, even if your big brother Qi Yelian is here, it's just one word, run!"

Pei Xun's voice came faintly: "It's late."

Seeing this, Jiang Youzhi shook off the poinsettia: "Brother, what do you mean?"

But Poinsettia turned to Pei Xun and said: "This case is a big one, how dare you take it on? It's about internal guards, and now it involves the Department of Military Affairs, and I'm afraid the relationship with the emperor is even closer. If you make a wrong step, you will be killed." It’s beyond redemption! How confused! His Highness Ninth Prince is trying to use you... hey!"

"Why did you take this job?" Pei Xun thought for a moment, then cast a glance at Jiang Youzhi intentionally or unintentionally, and then continued: "There is also my reason for that?"
