Jinghong Tower

Chapter 332 Poison
News of Lao Fengyun's captivity reached He Ran's ears, and He Ran dispatched Zhong Yi.

Jinyiwei blocked several city gates in the capital and launched a search throughout the city.

In less than an hour, clues were discovered.

Lao Fengyun is not yet married. He goes home every three or four days, just to pay respects to his elders. He usually lives in the academy.

The reason why he went home today was because the father of a classmate was seriously injured. The classmate's family was poor, and the money he used to go to school was earned from copying books and doing odd jobs in the school. Now that his father was injured, the poor family was even worse.

Lao Fengyun usually took good care of this classmate. Now that he learned about this, he immediately asked for leave from the college and planned to go home and lend money to this classmate.

Zhong Yi immediately asked someone to call that classmate for questioning.

Zhong Yi was about to become a man. After just one meeting, he discovered that there was something wrong with this classmate. His eyes were evasive and his hands were clinging to the corners of his clothes. This was not only nervous, but also guilty.

Zhong Yi found out from the scholar's body that it was true that his family was poor, that his father was injured, and that someone had promised his family a large sum of money.

As long as he can get Lao Fengyun out of the academy, the money will be his.

Zhong Yi sneered: "As far as I know, Mr. Lao takes great care of you on weekdays. Even your job of copying books was found for you by Mr. Lao. Even this time, Mr. Lao learned that If something happens to your family, I will lend you money. Why do you want to repay kindness with enmity? "

The scholar straightened his thin chest, trying to save the dignity that was long gone.

".That's not a favor, that's a charity! It's contempt for me! I hate him!"

He hated it. What he hated most was Lao Fengyun. He said he regarded him as a brother, but he only found him a job of copying books. He mentioned to Lao Fengyun that he wanted to be a scribe in the Yamen, but Lao Fengyun said It's ridiculous to have no connections. Lao Fengyun's grandfather was the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Isn't it easy to arrange a small clerk?
So when the man asked him to trick Lao Fengyun out, he agreed without hesitation.

It's just that he didn't expect that this matter would cause such a big fuss, and that the Jin Yiwei would be dispatched, and in less than an hour, the Jin Yiwei would arrest him.

He hadn't even had time to ask for leave and go home to hide.

Zhong Yi used the tip of the knife to lift the scholar's chin. The scholar's whole body tensed up, and the resentment in his eyes was driven away by fear.

"You want to kill me? I, I, have a reputation."

Zhong Yi: "Are you afraid now? Do you know who you are hurting?"

The scholar's eyes widened: "Of course I know. Lao. Lao Fengyun's grandfather was a Jinshi. He was originally a third-rank official in the court, but he was so servile that he took refuge in a woman. He was unfaithful and unfaithful. The loss of justice has brought disgrace to all the scholars in the world.”

After saying these words, the scholar took a long breath. He finally said what he had always wanted to say, without fear of cruel officials and impassionedly.

Zhong Yi looked at him with caring eyes: "Originally, I thought you were just a villain, but now it seems that you are still a fool."

After saying that, Zhong Yi pulled the knife back and strode away.

The two imperial guards dragged the scholar up like a dead dog. The scholar asked in confusion, "What does he mean?"

Jin Yiwei snorted coldly and looked at him as if he were a fool: "You have read all your books in vain. You are full of bad ideas but have no brains. Do you know who the sister of the person you harmed is?"

"Who is it?" The scholar was puzzled.

Jin Yiwei whispered four words.

The scholar couldn't believe it, how could it be possible? Why did Lao Fengyun never say it? No one in the academy mentioned it?
He hated it even more.

He Ran used nepotism, the labor family bullied others, and the royal guards protected each other. A student from a poor family had to live in poverty for ten years, but he could only copy books to survive.

What he did was right. There were thousands of scholars behind him. What could he have done wrong?
He Ran sent He Yamin and her group to help, and within half a day, the portrait based on the scholar's description was posted in more than a dozen places in the capital where people and animals were mixed.

At dawn the next day, Jin Yiwei surrounded a house and found a young man tied into a rice dumpling inside. Unfortunately, this man was not Lao Fengyun.

According to his explanation, he was a foreigner who came to the capital alone to do business. He was packed into a sack on his way back to the inn from a party the night before.

The person leading the team was not Zhong Yi, but the newly promoted Zhenfu He Mingyue.

He Mingyue was from Hejia Village and was a member of the Eagle Team. She was among the team that went to Guidi this time.

Not long ago, He Mingyue was transferred to Jinyiwei as the governor. She was also the first female governor in Jinyiwei.

At this time, He Mingyue looked at the young man in front of her and knew that this was used to disturb her vision.

The enemy was too cunning, but fortunately they were well prepared and divided their forces into several groups.

He Mingyue sneered and said to a subordinate next to him: "If word gets out, it will be said that Mr. Lao has been found!"

This Jin Yiwei's action was so loud that the people were talking a lot and guessing who the big shot was. Soon there was news that this person was the grandson of Lord Shu Lao, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Most common people only know the generals from comic books, and among the civil servants, only Feng Xueying is famous.

Therefore, ordinary people do not know who Lord Lao is, let alone that Lord Lao has another identity besides being a high official.

However, the news that a grandson of a high-ranking official was kidnapped still spread throughout the capital.

In the early morning, the city gate was surrounded by people who wanted to enter or leave the city, including carriages and horses and people carrying burdens. The city gate was closed tightly and everyone was talking about it.

Suddenly, someone said loudly: "Hasn't the young man from the high-ranking official's family been found? Why haven't you opened the city gate yet?"

Hearing this, everyone was surprised: "Have you found it? When did it happen?"

"Ah, when I came here in the morning, I saw a group of men in uniform. It turned out they were there to save people."

"That's great. The young master has been found. We don't have to worry anymore. The public security in the capital is still very good."

"That's right, now that we've found the person, let's open the city gate."

"Don't worry, the city gate official may not have been notified yet."

While everyone was talking, they heard the people in front cheer: "The city gate is opened, the city gate is opened!"

Some city defenders came over and shouted loudly: "Get in line, everyone get in line. What about you, go back and get in line!"

Soon, four teams were lined up inside and outside the city gate. As usual, the city gate soldiers carefully inspected those entering the city, but only waved their hands to those leaving the city and let them go.

Suddenly, a mule cart leaving the city was stopped. In just the blink of an eye, the mule cart was surrounded by people. The horse-drawn carriage lined up behind the mule cart was startled. The handlebars rubbed their eyes. They saw it right. , these people who surrounded the mule cart were not wearing ordinary knives.

He is a native of the capital, and he knows that knife. It is the Xiuchun knife that belongs exclusively to Jin Yiwei!

When He Ran received the news, Lao Fengyun had been rescued, but he was already dying and the doctors were helpless.

He Ran rushed to Lao Mansion and saw Lao Fengyun on the sickbed.

She had met Lao Fengyun twice, and this was the third time. The Lao Fengyun in her memory had a warm smile and a bright sunshine, but the Lao Fengyun in front of her looked haggard, with the oil burning and the lamp drying up. He Ran asked: "Have you found out the reason?"

The person who came to treat Lao Fengyun was an old man in his seventies, surnamed Jiang, who was the former dean of the Taiyuan Hospital.

The Taiyuan Hospital was closely involved with the harem. After Min Lan regained control of the Phoenix Seal, the first thing he did was to overhaul the Taiyuan Hospital. Jiang Yizheng, his nephews and apprentices, a total of eight people, left the Taiyuan Hospital and did not dare to stay in the capital. I went to Yudi and opened a small medical clinic.

He Ran looked around for military doctors. When he was in Yudi, someone recommended this Jiang family medical clinic. In the battle in Yudi, the Jiang family contributed a lot. Until now, there are still five Jiang family doctors serving in the army. Mr. Jiang and him His two sons and two granddaughters are now in Tai Hospital.

Mr. Jiang's face was as dark as water, and he said to He Ran: "Master, the patient has no external injuries, but his pulse is messy and he is unconscious. The symptoms look like poisoning, but I suspect that he was not poisoned by ordinary poison, but by poison." Poison."

He Ran's brows moved slightly, Gu poison?
She looked at Zhong Yi who was following behind her: "Has the thief been found out?"

Zhong Yi shook his head: "Bit your tongue off."

He Ran glanced at Zhong Yi questioningly, as if to say, are you at this level?

Zhong Yi was unable to explain, and he was quite speechless. When he caught someone, he removed his chin. However, during the interrogation, the man kept nodding his head, obviously about to confess, so he closed his chin. As a result, the man only slowed down for a moment before biting off his tongue resolutely.

The person is not dead, but he cannot speak.

Before that, He Ran believed that this was the work of the new emperor or the Qian brothers, but what happened to the poison?

Isn't this what Wang Hao and Nong Liuniang would do?

He Ran said to Mr. Jiang: "Old man, do you know anything about poison?"

Mr. Jiang sighed: "When I was young, I saw a patient who was poisoned, but it was only that time. The patient didn't last long before he died. Later, I only heard people talk about it, and even medical books There is no record of it.”

Mr. Jiang just wanted to tell He Ran directly that he could not cure Mr. Lao's poison.

He Ran asked: "What about the prescription he is using now?"

Mr. Jiang said: "That is the Jiang family's ancestral antidote, but it can only temporarily suppress this kind of poison. The poison attacks very quickly, and this prescription alone cannot suppress it. "

He Ran came out of the house and saw the Lao family guarding the door.

Mrs. Shangguan was supported by her two daughters-in-law. Her eyes were red and swollen, and she had obviously just cried.

He Ran felt guilty in her heart. This sudden disaster in the Lao family was caused by her.

But at this moment, she couldn't make a guarantee. Lao Fengyun's life and death were on the line, what guarantee could she give?

He Ran walked up to Mrs. Shangguan, stretched out her arms, and hugged her gently.

Mrs. Shangguan is older and thinner than when they met at the beginning of the year.

After traveling through two lives, the first family affection was given by this old man.

"Grandma, wait for me."

Mrs. Shangguan nodded: "Okay, we are waiting for you."

He Ran bowed solemnly, turned and left.

She walked out of Lao's house, and the cold wind blew her hair. At this moment, He Ran felt sober as never before.

She returned to Laomofang Alley, and before she entered the door, she saw Yuan Xiaodong walking over with a big jar in his arms.

He Ran pointed to the big jar and asked, "What is this?"

Yuan Xiaodong said: "This is Earthworm. There is a gardener in the east of the city who has raised a lot of Earthworms. I went to him and bought a jar, which is enough for a few days."

Earthworms are earthworms. He Ran only knew that the fisherman would use them to make fish food, but she didn't know what the gardener did raising the earthworms. However, she had no time to think about it. At this time, she was thinking of the golden return Gu.

It's cold, and even the palace can't catch bugs. Yuan Xiaodong bought these earth dragons to raise the golden return Gu.

The capital is not Yungui. Even Dr. Jiang, who has been practicing medicine for decades, has only seen one patient. For others, poison poison is just a legend, and most people have not even heard of this legend. Pass.

But He Ran had a Gu in his hand.

It's a pity that she doesn't know anything else except that Jin Gui Gu is very edible.

Nong Liu Niang gave her this Gu, but Nong Liu Niang might not have used it herself, but she just knew that this Gu could be used to save lives at critical moments.

He Ran also knew that Jin Gui Gu could save lives, but how?
She had Jin Gui Gu for some time, and she almost kept it as a pet.

Reptile, little pet.

He Ran quickly walked into the house and took out the golden return Gu.

Since he was kept as a pet, Jin Gui Gu's living environment has also been improved. It is no longer a box, but replaced by a large box.

This large box was made by Dong Jinzhen and was well made. It was divided into a bedroom and a dining room, where Jin Gui Gu lived a noble life.

He Ran looked at Jin Gui Gu blankly. Mu Ling said that in critical moments, Jin Gui Gu could be used to save lives.

Before that, He Ran's understanding was that when he encountered a strong enemy and couldn't defeat him, he would release the Jin Gui Gu and let the Jin Gui Gu bite the enemy to death. Wasn't that just saving lives?

But now, He Ran suddenly had a different understanding.

Could this so-called life-saving be used not to fight the enemy, but to detoxify?

Mu Ling also said that the Golden Gui Gu will enter when it sees blood. If a small opening is cut on the body and blood flows out, the Golden Gui Gu will be able to get in and will not come out until the person is dead.

But in fact, neither Nong Liu Niang nor Mu Ling have ever used Jin Gui Gu. Jin Gui Gu was raised by Grandma Ahua. What Mu Ling told her was what Nong Liu Niang told Mu Ling, and Nong Liu Niang told Mu Ling. Liu Niang learned about it from Granny Ahua.

Words are passed from person to person. Could it be that someone among them misunderstood it, so the words passed down are also wrong?

He Ran said to Yuan Xiaodong: "Go buy a live pig, weighing more than 100 kilograms."

A pig weighing more than 100 kilograms is about the same weight as a human being.

Yuan Xiaodong was surprised. The boss was very frugal. He only ate meat once every few days. So he bought a whole pig at once. Was he preparing to celebrate the New Year in advance?

The pig was quickly bought back, and He Ran invited Mr. Jiang over, along with Zhong Yi.

Mr. Jiang is proficient in medical skills, and he has seen patients infected with poison.

Zhong Yi has been to Guidi in both his lifetimes. Even if he has not seen poison with his own eyes, he has heard about it. Compared with other people around He Ran, he has more experience in this aspect.
