low-key is king

Chapter 1340 It's okay, let him take it!

"Mr. Lu, after all, what's wrong with this pile of ashes?"

Right Minister Situ Xian's tone was a bit impatient, he didn't even say that the pile of ashes was a robe, but a pile of ashes, could you, Lu Yuan, still see flowers in this pile of ashes?
"Master Xiang, you don't know that ordinary robes, no matter how expensive the fabric is, will turn into fly ash after being burned and disappear in this world!"

Lu Xun first explained the characteristics of ordinary robes, then stretched out his hand and pointed to the brazier at his feet, and said: "But this robe is different. You see, even if it is burned, some things still exist!"

Looking at Lu Xun's fingers, everyone's eyes flickered a little, because they did see that somewhere in the robe, there were still some traces of silk thread left.

This scene also made Xu Jian's eyes tremble, and he felt that there was something he had overlooked, but why was such a subtlety discovered by this guy named Lu Yuan?

"What is the reason?"

Situ Xian took a few steps closer and looked closely at the remaining silk thread, but he didn't feel anything amiss, let alone any obscure special aura.

"The answer lies in this dragon lock box!"

It wasn't until this time that Lu Xun raised his left hand again. There was a small box on it, which once contained the Marshal's Talisman. It was a special mechanism box that reached the eighth rank.

But until this time, the guest ministers of the Prime Minister's House, including Situ Xian and Situ Gong, who were half-stepped to the eighth stage, could not sense any connection between the two, and their faces were a little dazed.

"Master, as I said before, this so-called dragon-locking box has a poisonous needle on each side. As soon as someone who doesn't know the inside story opens the dragon-locking box, the poisonous needle will be fired, making it impossible to guard against!"

Lu Xun pointed to the slightly indented place on both sides of the dragon lock box, and continued: "It seems that the treasure thief knew how to open the dragon lock box, but he ignored the two poisonous needles!"

"However, this treasure thief is very powerful. Even if the poisonous needle was fired very suddenly, he also avoided two fatal blows at the very moment. This is really great!"

Lu Xun talked eloquently, as if people were in the scene. Thinking of the danger when the thief opened the dragon lock box, they couldn't help but gasp, feeling that they couldn't avoid it no matter what.

"It's a pity that the treasure thief avoided his vitals and did not let the poisonous needle stain his skin, but the left sleeve of his robe was shot through by one of the poisonous needles. !"

Holding the dragon lock box in his hand, Lu Xun first glanced at Xu Jian, and then returned to the brazier at his feet, making many ministers and ministers feel thoughtful.

"Mr. Lu, what do you mean, the robe that was burned in the brazier was the one worn by the treasure thief? The reason why it was burned was also to destroy the certificate?"

Zhuo Feng, the second guest of the Prime Minister's Mansion, groaned, drawing Xu Jian's two adoptive sons to glare at him. They did not believe their adoptive father would do such a thing anyway.

At this moment, Situ Xian didn't say a word.

Although Lu Xun still hasn't produced substantive evidence, for some reason, his mentality has also undergone subtle changes.

"Lu Yuan, what basis do you have for saying that this robe was worn by the treasure thief when he stole the soldier talisman?"

Xu Jian's mentality was extremely calm. At this moment, he asked the most critical question. Even if he asked himself to leave a few beginnings and tails, the other party would definitely not be able to catch him.

"Good question!"

Unexpectedly, Lu Xun turned his head and gave a compliment, then pointed to the brazier and said, "This remaining piece of thread is evidence!"

"Nonsense, you say it is?"

At this time, Guan Yin couldn't bear it anymore, and walked towards the brazier while talking, seeing many guests frowning slightly, what is this guy going to do?

"Guan Yin, are you trying to destroy the evidence?"

Especially when he saw that Guan Yin had stretched out his hand to the brazier, the vice-chairman of the prime minister's mansion couldn't help but let out a sneer, which also made the right prime minister Situ Xian's eyes shine brightly.

"It's okay, let him take it!"

Perhaps only Lu Xun is confident, and there is also a playful sneer in the depths of his eyes. If you really dare to touch this silk thread that can't be burned by fire, you will burn yourself.

In fact, Guan Ling just now had such thoughts, if he could get that piece of silk thread, and accidentally touch it and turn it into a wisp of fly ash, then everything would be meaningless.

Guan Yin felt that he was solving a problem for his adoptive father. For some reason, seeing Lu Xun so confident, he also felt a little uneasy. He always felt that something big was going to happen today.

Once that guy Lu Yuan really finds out the evidence that his adoptive father stole the treasure, then their lineage will probably be in danger, and Guan Yin will never allow such a thing to happen.

Xu Jian didn't say anything to stop this, even if Master Xiang really felt something was wrong, just push Guan Yin to take the blame.

Aren't these adopted sons used in this kind of place?
"Lu Yuan, tell me what can be seen from this little silk thread?"

After a while, Guan Yin had already taken the small piece of silk thread into his hands, and even twisted it hard a few times while asking the question, which made Zhuo Feng and the others tremble with fear.

"what?"

After rubbing the thread twice, Guan Yin, who didn't turn the silk thread into fly ash, couldn't help but feel weird, secretly thinking that this is a bit different from what he thought just now.

"What? Did you find that this little silk thread can't be destroyed?"

Lu Xun spoke out, with a faint smile on his face, secretly thinking that this unlucky guy named Guan Yin will soon know what a stupid thing he has done?
"It seems that you didn't listen carefully to what I just said. This is a silk thread that has been contaminated with poison. If you touch it so carelessly, is it possible that you are invulnerable to all poisons?"

Lu Xun's slightly exaggerated voice came out, and it wasn't until this time that Guan Yin remembered some words Lu Xun had said before, which made him tremble, and let go of the silk thread in his hand in a panic.

A small piece of silk thread drifted towards the ground, but some of the guests who were closer to the Xiangfu subconsciously took a step back, as if they were afraid of being touched by it.

At the same time, the eyes of many ministers and guests turned to Guan Yin's fingers.

I saw that the thumb and index finger of his right hand, that is, the inner sides of the two fingers that had been twisted with the silk thread just now, were surprisingly darker.

At the beginning, many guests including Guan Yin felt that it was the ashes on the thread, but the next moment they knew that it was not that simple.

Because no matter how Guan Yin rubbed his two fingers, or even wiped the inside of his fingers on his robe several times, the pitch-black color still remained, as if it had soaked into his skin.

"This is... poisoned?"

Recalling what Lu Yuan said before, such a thought rose in the hearts of many ministers and guests, and at this moment Guan Yin's face finally became flustered.

"Get out of here!"

After Guan Yin let out this shout, the aura of the Seven Realms of Great Accomplishment rose from his body.

The power of these breaths was concentrated on his thumb and index finger, which looked quite majestic, obviously trying to force the poison out of his body.

It seems that Guan Yin wanted to use his own power to force the poison out of his fingers. At the beginning, he had absolute confidence, but his face changed drastically the next moment.

Because in just a few breaths, Guan Yin's seven-level power not only failed to force the poison out of his body, but the pitch black color on his two fingers had already spread to his entire right hand.

Click!

It has to be said that as the second adopted son of the Chief Guest Minister of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Guan Yin has quite a lot of methods.

The next moment, he directly took out a medicine bottle from the mustard bracelet, crushed the medicine bottle, and swallowed a red pill into his stomach.

It's a pity that Guan Yin underestimated that special poison after all.

Under Lu Xun's induction, it may even be poisonous that has reached the eighth rank, so how can Guan Yin, a practitioner with a small achievement in the seventh realm, be able to bear it?
scoff!

Guan Yin tore off his right sleeve, and at this moment, everyone could see quite clearly that the pitch-black poison had already spread to his elbow.

Moreover, the black poison was still spreading towards Guan Yin's shoulders at an extremely fast speed. Perhaps it would not take long before it would reach the viscera, making it impossible for him to be saved.

"Father..."

Sensing that the antidote elixir had no effect, but the poison spread so fast, Guan Yin finally let go of his reserve at this moment and asked his adoptive father for help.

"Hey, this is the poisonous needle in the dragon-locking box. You don't ask the Xiangye, but your adoptive father, you are really stupid!"

A chuckle came from the side, causing everyone to turn their eyes away. When they saw that it was from the boy in black, they all had a strange thought.

Because they all heard the trap in Lu Yuan's words, if Guan Yinzhen went to ask Situ Xian for an antidote, wouldn't it mean that the poison he was poisoned was indeed caused by the poisonous needle in the dragon lock box?
In this way, there will be no more than 300 taels of silver here.

This is the remnant of clothing found in Xu Jian's residence hall, which can prove that he has really touched the dragon lock box, and the truth is self-evident.

But everyone could understand Guan Yin's situation. Lu Yuan said this because he wanted this guy to prescribe the right medicine.

If you go to ask Xu Jian, the other party will definitely have no antidote, and asking Mr. Xiang is the right way.

When a person is facing a critical moment of life and death, his thinking will also be very different from normal. Lu Xun's control of human nature is extremely precise.

Now that he has made his move, it depends on how Xu Jian will undo it.

Should he just watch his precious adopted son die from poison, or should he admit that he is a treasure thief and ask Situ Xian for the antidote?
