Zongwu: The Days of Mixing in the Tongfu Inn

Chapter 217 The Thing in the Ice Cube
Zhu Yipin showed everyone that the few remaining green leaves were indeed celery leaves.

"Why are you so sure? I think this is ordinary celery?"

Liu Ruoxin couldn't help asking curiously.

Zhu Yipin stretched out his finger and waved it, which was a cool question for him, and then he said with professional knowledge: "Poison celery is pungent, slightly sweet, warm, and highly poisonous. Although it is similar to ordinary celery, it still has Subtle differences, so I'm pretty sure it's definitely hemlock."

Zhang Chen nodded, then turned to look at Foyin beside him and said, "National Teacher, let's go and see how Brother Fa is doing, please!"

Zhang Chen stretched out his hand to signal, Foyin nodded with a smile, and the group left the room to meet outside.

At this time, Linglingfa was taking Sun Zizhen back to his home. Just now he had told all the things about himself and the maid, and also explained that he insisted on self-stealing.

"Lord, look!"

A guard received a box from the house and handed it over. Linglingfa opened the box, looked at the ice cubes inside, nodded, and asked, "Are there any other discoveries?"

The guard shook his head upon hearing this.

"Explore again, don't let go of the slightest clue."

Ling Lingfa emphasized.

"Here!"

The guard clasped his fists in salute.

"My lord, I have already said everything that should be explained. There is really nothing hidden in the house."

Sun Zizhen said in a trembling voice.

"That court lady just seduced you? Didn't she ask you to do other things? You have to think about it before answering me. I won't give you a second chance to speak."

Ling Lingfa said again.

"Uh~, by the way, when Liuzhu was with me, he seemed to have asked about the location of the warehouse in the secret path, but I didn't care about it at the time, so I just said it."

Sun Zizhen was frightened by her nonchalant tone, and quickly recalled the past carefully.

"A secret warehouse?"

Linglingfa muttered to himself.

Sun Zizhen seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, and answered everything: "There is nothing else in the warehouse, it is ice stored in winter, otherwise I would not dare to tell her."

Ling Lingfa's eyes lit up when she heard the words, and her brain was running fast, thinking about why she asked about the location of the ice room?

Ling Lingfa bit his finger and walked a few steps, his eyes accidentally saw the ice cubes in the box, Ling Lingfa connected the scattered clues together.

The reason why this maid approached him was because of his special status, because Sun Zizhen was the person in charge of the ice room, and she wanted to control the ice room?So what is her purpose?

Ling Lingfa then said to himself: "Chicken? Chicken plague? No, no, this is what she wanted to cover up. Those chickens must not have died of chicken plague, so what could it be.

Poison, it must be poison, yes, in a few days, His Majesty will hold the Ice Bestowing Ceremony, and all civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty will participate in this grand ceremony. If she puts the poison in the ice, At that time, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were wiped out.

This is her plan, and this must be his real plan! "

Ling Lingfa clapped his hands and his eyes shone brightly. He believed that his guess was correct. Now he wanted to verify his idea, and then shouted to the guards outside: "Go outside and find a few different animals. You must be fast. !"

The guards outside the door agreed, and quickly left to look for the animals they wanted. After a while, the guards came back with chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry.

"My lord, there are only these kinds of animals that are the best to find around here. I wonder if they meet your requirements."

The guard clasped his fists and saluted.

"Let them taste the ice."

Ling Lingfa nodded, and then ordered.

According to Linglingfa's instructions, the guards lined up the animals one by one, then poured out the ice cubes in the box and crushed them, and then placed them in front of the animals so that they could eat them.

Linglingfa asked the guard to light the long incense, and then fixed his eyes on the animals, eager to know the answer in his heart.

In less than a stick of incense, the duck that ate the ice cubes first was obviously dead, and it was no longer alive and kicking like before, lying on the ground with a listless look.

After a while, several other animals were also in poor condition one by one, behaved exactly like the duck, and gradually lost their breath.

"My lord..."

The guard looked at the scene in amazement, and asked in disbelief.

"That's right, there's something wrong with these ice cubes."

Ling Lingfa said with certainty.

Sun Zizhen, who was pretending to be dead, saw the whole process of the test, especially seeing the various small animals die in the back, so her face changed and she struggled to stand up and kowtow to Linglingfa.

Sun Zizhen kowtowed constantly, and said quickly, "Master, please save my poor child!"

Linglingfa heard the words and looked at the child in the courtyard, the woman was holding the child. He hadn't noticed it before, but now after listening to Sun Zizhen's words, Linglingfa didn't know why the child ate ice cubes.

"Oh, why bother!"

Lingling said with a sigh.

Lingling waved her hand and asked the woman to bring the child over.

Seeing this, Sun Zizhen was overjoyed, and immediately shouted not far away: "Come here quickly, your lord is a famous master in the palace."

The corners of Ling Lingfa's mouth turned up slightly, he is not good at martial arts, but when it comes to medical skills, he can hang and beat the other three Gong Xicai.

Linglingfa looked at the child's pale face, eyes closed and lifeless, and stretched out his hand to check the child's pulse. After a while, Linglingfa said in a long breath, "It really is poisoning! Don't worry, there is still hope."

The guard handed over the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, brushed a few times with a hair brush and wrote a prescription, and handed it to the woman to ask her to take the medicine according to the prescription, and it will be cured after two courses of treatment.

Sun Zizhen burst into tears when she heard the words, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Ling Lingfa again.

"Yo, what's going on here? We missed a good show?"

Zhang Chen's voice came with a smile.

Linglingfa looked up, and it turned out that Zhang Chen and others were standing outside the courtyard gate, and Linglingfa asked in surprise, "Why are you here, I just found something here."

Zhang Chen approached slowly, looked at the dead animals on the ground, and knew that Linglingfa had guessed the truth of the matter.

The rest of the people looked at the corpses on the ground and asked suspiciously, "Who are these?"

Ling Lingfa explained with a smile: "These animals died one after another within about one stick of incense after eating the ice cubes."

The people present understood everything in an instant, the scattered clues had been spliced ​​together, and they had already guessed the general context.

The fellow boat club really planned everything out. If it wasn't for the insider's report, who would have known that their tentacles had reached the palace.

Zhang Chen clapped his hands together, breaking the silence of the crowd, and said directly: "Since the truth of the matter has been found out, let's go see His Majesty and explain the matter clearly. What do you think?"

　Thanks for the support!
