Tian Sheng Monster Hunting

Chapter 29 Poison
The coffin was opened, and the unpleasant smell rushed into everyone's noses instantly. Everyone wrinkled their noses, holding back the stench and took a closer look. Lin Zhang's body had turned black.

"It's only been two days, why is the corpse so black?"

Wen Ming asked curiously.

Yushi hesitated to speak, and looked at Duan Yuzhi timidly.

Duan Yuzhi understood it in his heart, and turned his probing eyes to Lin Zhang's body. There were no other injuries on his body, and his complexion was dark. He turned his head around, and there were two distinct marks on the left side of his neck.

It was about the size of a little fingernail and penetrated an inch into the skin, and the blood oozing out of it had coagulated on the wound.

"This is exactly the same as the wound of that rat monster Chi Qiang at the Luzhou post station!" Wen Ming also followed the coffin to observe.

"Bring a silver needle."

Yushi hurriedly sent her maid to get it.

Duan Yuzhi took the silver needle, his eyes were always exploring the corpse, and he never raised his head.

He accurately inserted the silver needle into the wound, waited until the silver needle was almost completely buried, and then carefully took it out.

At noon at this time, although the sky is full of yellow sand in Fengxian County, the sun is in full bloom, which dispels some haze.

The silver needle gleamed in the sun, stained black with blood.

Duan Yuzhi looked at Sheng Yang, "It's the same as before, the wound of the rat demon's attack, but the fatal one is the poison."

Sheng Yang's face darkened for a moment.

"Where are the two corpses from yesterday?" Wen Ming asked again.

"Yesterday those two were bitten by rat demons. Chi Qiang doesn't know which clan of demons they belonged to. The two front teeth are extremely sharp. Presumably he is also a veteran murderer. He hit the pulse with one blow. The superior carotid artery ruptured and the blood flowed out. and die."

"The monster clan is powerful, so it's easy to kill people. Since you can kill them directly, why do you poison them?"

Duan Yuzhi shook his head, "I had doubts about this many years ago. I met some people over the years, and then I pushed it back. The only reasonable guess is that the monster who killed people back then didn't have the ability to kill with one blow, so he could only use poison to assist him." .”

Sheng Yang nodded, "I used to be quite troubled, until I met Chiyu, and she explained it to me."

Chiyu looked at Duan Yu's stinky face, and didn't want to get involved in this matter. Since Sheng Yang pointed at him, he had no choice but to step forward and say, "It's been a hundred years since the demon race was banned from using human blood to cultivate, and most races have degenerated. , but there are also some races that may retain their skills. Chi Qiang should be a rat clan on the border between Tiansheng and Beili, his teeth are extremely sharp, and he can hit the target with one blow. But our cat demon clan is not, cat demon Being suppressed a lot in the Pingyang area, the ability has already degenerated, and a cat's claw is not enough to take away the enemy's life. Perhaps it is because of this that someone used the method of using poison to assist... This... is also what I did on the first day It was only when I killed... that I realized that my claws and skills alone cannot kill a person quickly."

The first person Chiyu wanted to kill was still alive and well.It was Chen Xi, then deputy commander of the Department of Public Security, who led troops into their home.She has been dormant for many years, and she entered Pingyang just to kill him.Observing for many days, gearing up, thinking that the plan was sufficient, he set up an ambush to injure Chen Xi while he was hunting, and took advantage of him while he was lying in bed to recuperate, but because the cat's claws no longer have the ability to kill people immediately, he took a life .

Since then, Chen Xi has been very careful, and even when he is sleeping, there are people on duty by his side. Now that he is the leader of the imperial army, he walks in the palace all day, and he can't find a chance.

"I missed that time. I didn't realize until I learned the cause of Sheng Yang's mother and brother's death."

"You will follow suit from now on!" Duan Yuzhi said with disdain in his eyes.

She moved to hide behind Sheng Yang, her cat's eyes flickering, "Sheng Yang...your Duan Taifu is so fierce..."

Sheng Yang protected her, and gave Duan Yu a slight look, "She is most afraid of you, don't scare her."

She glared at Sheng Yang behind his back with some pride.

Duan Yuzhi glanced at her again with a hint of warning, and then turned his gaze to Yu Shidao, "Mrs. Lin, do you know who has the motive to kill Master Lin? Has anything different from usual happened recently?"

Mrs. Yu shook her head, "My husband has been an official in Feng County for more than [-] years. He has a clean government and loves the people, and the people of Feng County respect him. He is usually busy with government affairs, and he has no time to make enemies. Recently...I can't think of it for a while."

"What about the time ago?"

When Wen Ming asked this question, he immediately thought of what happened some time ago. He couldn't be more clear about this. Didn't Lin Zhang go to Pingyang a while ago and sue Sheng Feiyu?Speaking of which, he was the one who encouraged him to do this. Could it be that this really killed him?
He said to Shengyang with some embarrassment, "Your Highness, could it be His Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Zhen Guo..."

Chiyu was a little angry, and said, "I killed Sheng Feiyu, if you have the ability to seek revenge from me..."

Hearing what they said, Sheng Yang also felt that this matter had nothing to do with the prince's party. He had expected that they would take revenge, but he didn't expect them to be so fast. Moreover, Lin Zhang had just returned from Pingyang, and his father was also paying attention to it. At this juncture Dare to make a move, really courageous enough.

Seeing a few people, Mrs. Yu seemed to be regretting taking Lin Zhang to the imperial court, anxious in her heart, and said, "The concubine and his wife have never regretted going to Pingyang to beat the imperial drum. It is precisely because of this that the enemy finally got retribution. We The two of them can finally stand up and be two people for two days."

After all, she bowed deeply, which was a great gift.

Wen Ming panicked all of a sudden, helped her up, and said guiltily, "If it's really because of this, then it's because of me that I harmed Mrs. Lin, I'm sorry Ma'am."

Yu Shi shook her head, she knew that this matter was actually instructed by Sheng Yang, otherwise the two of them would not dare to go to Beijing rashly.

"Your Highness, Mr. Wen, my husband and I are most grateful to you two."

She looked out of the courtyard through the white cloths, and recalled, "My daughter's baby name is Zhenzhen, and she has entrusted my husband and I to cherish her. She is sensible and obedient since she was a child, and she is loved all the time. Even though she is in Xiaoxiaofeng County, we also want something. What to give, I tried my best as a parent. When she was young, her father often took her by his side to review documents and handle affairs. She was also smart. Later, she gradually learned everything and was able to help her in government affairs at a young age. Daddy is well-known in Feng County," she smiled slightly, "It's offensive, but the people in the county always tease her as Princess Shengyang of Feng County."

"But when I saw His Highness with my own eyes today, I realized that she is still far from His Highness. It's just that she will never have the chance to learn from His Highness..." The corners of her mouth drooped slightly, and her eyes were covered with fog. After the incident, Zhenzhen has never been out of the house again. That year happened to be when she was a child, and it should have been the happiest time of growing up. However, she was trapped in the room by that unspeakable experience, and she couldn't move forward no matter what. That step... My husband and I tried our best to reassure that there was nothing wrong with her. In order to reassure her parents, she reluctantly accepted it and persisted for a while. Then one day, she was hung on the beam... What she loves most is the whip. It was a month before her accident. A foreign trader passed by. She Sapofei asked her father to buy it for her. It is very long and strong. It is inconvenient for her to play with it, but It ended up being used here..."

She looked at the crowd, "After Zhenzhen died, his father and I were heartbroken. His father wanted to rush into Pingyang alone to seek revenge from the Sheng family, but I stopped him. He saved his life. Maybe he still has a chance. If you rush to Pingyang to seek revenge, it is like hitting a stone with an egg, and it will be broken with one blow."

"But if this revenge is not avenged, the two of us can't sleep at night. Every time I think of it, I feel heartbroken, like a walking dead! That day, Mr. Wen personally visited, and my husband was encouraged to go to Pingyang to file an imperial lawsuit. Before we left, we were actually ready to die. , if the matter fails, he will be killed in Pingyang, and I will not live alone at home! When he arrives home after the event, the joy will be a hundred times greater than the title on the gold list and the bridal chamber. We have no other hope in this life!"

There was a long silence in the hall, Sheng Yang opened his lips for a while, closed them again, but opened his mouth again, and said, "Lord Lin and Mrs. Lin are deeply moved by their revenge for Zhenzhen. To be honest, Sheng Yang will do this. Because of personal grievances, there was a moment when I thought about whether such a plan to use the victim's family was contrary to my original intention. After listening to my wife's heartfelt words today, Sheng Yang Fang does not regret making such a plan."

"Your Highness, Lord Duan!" Yu Shi knelt down, "I know that my lord has discovered my identity just now when my lord came in, and how I want to deal with this concubine, I will never resist, I just beg Your Highness, my lord will find justice for my husband. "

"What's your identity?" Wen Ming asked in surprise.

Chiyu looked to see through, "Yaobai, are you from the Rabbit Monster family?"

"Yes." Yu Shi had a face of death.

Duan Yuzhi stared at her closely, his eyes were like a bottomless lake, at this moment even Sheng Yang couldn't figure out what he was thinking.

When the wind picked up, the white cloth fluttered in the hall, and the incense candles shook, as if Lin Zhang was whispering.

After a long time, Duan Yuzhi said, "This matter has something to do with our intention to come here, and it is the demon clan who committed evil, so I will naturally investigate. As for Madam... I have never committed any evil, so it is not my business."

Hearing that Duan Yuzhi had finally let go of his prejudice against monster races, Sheng Yang was a little uncontrollably happy. Seeing that he still had a calm face, as if he was still dissatisfied with his decision, he put his arms around his waist and raised his head. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Master Duan is wise!"

Sheng Yang was so considerate to him, he just bowed his head and smiled at her, and stroked her head casually.

Standing behind Sheng Yang, Chiyu looked deeply at Duan Yuzhi, her eyes dim.

Just now she was still calculating in her mind that Chi Qiang was not weak, but was dealt with by Duan Yu's palm. She wanted to seek revenge from him, but there was almost no chance of winning a frontal attack... At this moment, she was surprised by his change. It's not like someone who doesn't distinguish between right and wrong, but why did he help the tyrant kill her parents back then... She had doubts in her heart, but she still held the dagger tightly in her hand.
