Chapter 118
On Jiang Youzhi's side, the same poinsettia was studying these corpses in the morgue of the Yamen.

Holding an iron hook in her hand, she looked at the wound of one of the corpses, and said, "The five corpses were all cut off with a knife without any precautions, and then the murderer chopped off the dead again." The left arm of the deceased took away the head and left arm, and there were fragments of red coral in the body of the five deceased, presumably caused by inhalation through the mouth and nose."

Jiang Youngzhi carefully studied the fragments of red coral that he had just removed: "It wasn't in the sea, or the red coral was brought by the murderer. Maybe these red corals have a paralyzing effect on people after inhalation, so that these dead people have nothing to do before they die. aware."

Poinsettia nodded and said, "That's right, maybe those villagers also inhaled this kind of red coral, so they didn't notice anything all night, but..."

Jiang Youzhi was a little puzzled and said, "But what?"

Poinsettia then said: "I checked the red coral fragment carefully yesterday. This is an ordinary coral, and there is no paralysis effect for many people."

Jiang Youzhi frowned in confusion: "How is it possible? The only two explanations don't make sense."

Poinsettia nodded: "The murderer is very clever, so people can't figure it out."

Jiang Youzhi joked at the moment: "Didn't senior brother just say that the murderer is a ghost?"

Poinsettia smiled mysteriously: "When a ghost kills someone, it will not threaten others to take the blame, let alone leave fingerprints on the handle of the knife."

Jiang Youzhi then walked to the blood-stained dagger, and she picked it up and weighed it: "I am afraid that the ghost will not even need a murder weapon to kill someone, let alone take away the head and left arm of the deceased in an attempt to hide it."

Suddenly, a guard rushed in at the door. Before Jiang Youzhi and Poinsettia could react, he immediately knelt on the ground and said in a hurry: "Grandmaster! Something happened to the emperor! Go back to the palace and have a look!"

Because of the seriousness of the situation and the suddenness of the incident, Poinsettia got on her horse immediately and hurried to the palace.

In the Qianqing Palace, Eunuch Gao paced back and forth, dripping with sweat anxiously, looking at the door of the main hall from time to time.

Physician Lu was also in a hurry. He was watching the emperor's situation from the side of the bed, and said impatiently: "Eunuch, don't move around. I'm really flustered!"

Eunuch Gao squeezed his palms almost swollen: "Hey!"

But he still worriedly looked at the incense on the side, which was basically burned out: "How can this be! It will be two hours soon, why hasn't this master come back!"

Then he turned to Imperial Physician Lu and said, "Emperor Lu, you have to think of a way! Delay more time, and wait until the Grand Master returns."

Physician Lu had no time to answer at all, just wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, and stared at the emperor's situation closely.

The next second, a guard rushed in and shouted loudly: "The Poinsettia Grandmaster is here! The Poinsettia Grandmaster is here!"

Seeing this, Eunuch Gao and Imperial Physician Lu acted as if they were about to salute a savior, but Poinsettia waved his sleeves and said, "Don't be too polite, let me take a look for the emperor."

After he took the emperor's pulse and checked the situation, he took out a charm from his jacket: "Quick! Dip this charm into the water and feed it to the emperor!"

Immediately someone came to pick it up, and Eunuch Gao hurriedly urged, "Quick, quick!"

After the maid fed Emperor Wen of Zhou to drink, the poinsettia said to Imperial Physician Lu again, "Princess Lu, I will lend you a silver needle."

Then he asked someone to help the emperor up, and slowly inserted a very thin silver needle into the back of the emperor's neck.

Suddenly, a mouthful of black blood spit out from Zhou Wendi's mouth. Seeing this, Eunuch Gao was quite frightened. He thought what was wrong, and said in horror, "This... this..."

Doctor Lu showed surprise on the side: "Saved! The emperor is saved!" Then he said to Eunuch Gao excitedly: "Eunuch, the emperor squeezed this black blood, which caused the qi to block all channels. Now If you spit it out, it's fine!"

After hearing this, Eunuch Gao understood, and said joyfully, "God bless you! God bless you!"

Poinsettia said: "Okay, now help the emperor to lie down, I will write down a prescription, you order someone to decoct it immediately, don't neglect!"

Eunuch Gao nodded and said, "Yes."

A few quarters of an hour later, the emperor woke up. The maid quickly supported the emperor and leaned against the soft pillow, while Poinsettia said, "Your Majesty, are you feeling better? How do you feel now?"

The emperor seemed to be relieved and nodded, and then he waited for a few quarters of an hour before he said: "You all go out, please stay with the master."

After everyone went out, the emperor said to the poinsettia gratefully: "Grandmaster, this is you who saved me again!"

Poinsettia said humbly: "Your Majesty, this is what a lowly minister should do. It is your duty to be a minister, so you don't have to worry about it."

The emperor nodded, but fell into deep thought.

Poinsettia asked, "Your Majesty, what happened just now? Can you tell me?"

The emperor seemed to sigh and said: "Just now I had a nightmare, an extremely terrible nightmare!"

Hearing this, Poinsettia was a little surprised. Emperor Wen of Zhou fought on the battlefield when he was young, and he was never cowardly when he went to battle. It can be said that he was extremely brave. , was actually feared by him.

He asked, "What dream?"

Emperor Wen of Zhou closed his eyes and said, "I dreamed of Deng Xiuquan. His face was the same as it was before he died. He was so terrifying that he wanted to strangle me to death! This dream is so real. The truth is like reality. happened."

Poinsettia was a little surprised and said: "What? Your Majesty also saw Deng Xiuquan!"

Emperor Wen of Zhou was a little puzzled and said, "Grandmaster, what do you mean? Could it be that other than me, anyone else saw him?"

Poinsettia said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the five murders in Helian were all related to Deng Xiuquan by coincidence."

Emperor Wen of Zhou was a little surprised and said: "What! I have been haunted by nightmares these days. Could it be the soul of that villain Deng Xiuquan who is causing trouble!"

Poinsettia said in a deep voice: "This matter is still unclear, I'm afraid there is something wrong, but don't worry, if Mr. Pei starts this case, if there are villains, they will definitely not be able to escape his eyes."

Emperor Wen of Zhou pondered: "As long as I close my eyes now, I will be haunted by evil spirits in my dreams. It is really doubtful."

Poinsettia understands that Emperor Wen of Zhou is worried, this time it is really Deng Xiuquan who is dying, and his soul turned into a ghost to make troubles, the most important thing is to ease his heart for the present.

He then said: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will start working on the tricks when I get back today, please don't be so worried, everything comes first."
