Sir, I just want to be a salted fish

Chapter 208 Poisoning
Jiang Shunian didn't know when Mu Xin joined the new emperor, but there was no denying his ability. Now he was considered the new emperor's intelligence chief, and he was quite eager to compete with Mr. Tang San for power.

Tang Sanye's hidden guards were there since the founding of the Ling Kingdom. Both in terms of talent and information network, they were definitely bigger than Mu Xin's intelligence network. However, Tang Sanye was passive in taking orders, while Mu Xin took the initiative.

Jiang Shunian couldn't see through Mu Xin. He had many faces and was definitely a dangerous person.

If one day, Mu Xin really wants to confront Mr. Tang San, Jiang Shunian will undoubtedly be his opposite;

However, it is estimated that such a situation will take many years or may never occur.
It was sunny in the early morning, and the road was muddy but it didn't affect travel. It was time for the driver to set off back to Beijing.

A dozen assassins last night had their hands and feet tied and pressed on the prison car. The night of poison torture made these dead soldiers miserable. Even if they wanted to die, they didn't have the strength to take action.

This is another type of poison developed by Tang Bingxuan based on the poison of embroidery needles called "Can't Survive, Can't Die". It was a poison she specially developed for Jiang Shunian.

Jiang Shunian escorted the new emperor to the palace gate and took a dozen assassins' prison cars to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The dead soldiers were very tough even if they wanted to die but couldn't talk. Jiang Shunian asked people to torture them without knocking their mouths open, they were eager to provoke him and ask for it.

Jiang Shunian knew a lot about these dead men, and he didn't have much idea at first, otherwise he would have been interrogated strictly on the night of the assassination.

Simply let them stay in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, they will always be useful when they are needed.

....
After Jiang Shunian returned home, he walked quickly towards his yard, but was stopped by Yun Duo before he could enter the house.

"Third Master, my wife contracted the cold yesterday and was recuperating in the house. She sent the second young lady and the fourth young master to Madam Hou's main courtyard."

Zhixia had been playing the role of sick Tang Bingxuan in the house yesterday, and asked Zhichun to tell her to take good care of herself and not see anyone else.

As the new maid, Yun Duo naturally guarded her tightly. When she saw the third master returning from home for a few days, he blocked her despite everything.

This was the first time that Jiang Shunian was blocked from his house. His brows furrowed and he felt that it was against his will.

Zhixia heard her uncle coming back in the inner room, and asked Zhichun next to her to go out quickly to greet him.

"Third Master, Madam is awake now, please come in."

When Jiang Shunian entered the inner room, Zhixia had already lifted the bed curtain and stood up. Jiang Shunian immediately knew that something had happened to Tang Bingxuan.

Yesterday morning, it was discovered that Tang Bingxuan was missing. Zhixia did not send anyone to notify Jiang Shunian because Jiang Shunian had responsibilities and would not be able to come back even if he knew about it.

Zhixia and Zhichun reported to Jiang Shunian how Tang Bingxuan disappeared and how they sent people to search for her. However, a day and night passed without Tang Bingxuan's whereabouts.

According to the scent of Tang Bingxuan's body, the two scent-seeking insects found one in the southern suburbs of Kyoto and began to circle around without direction. The other found it near the Lijun Prince's Mansion and the Mingjun Prince's Mansion and lost its direction.

Apart from Tang Bingxuan herself, Jiang Shunian knew the most about the use of scent-seeking insects. Tang Bingxuan had probably been taken to both places or someone in the palace had had close contact with her.

In addition to several Zhuangzi houses in Kyoto and the Guanyin Temple and Yunshan Academy in the mountains, there are many places to hide people in the southern suburbs;
Prince Li and Prince Ming were two brothers, one direct brother and the other concubine. They had always been idle princes in the court. How could they abduct Tang Bingxuan, a housewife?
Jiang Shunian couldn't figure it out and ordered Zhixia to continue playing Tang Bingxuan until he came back, and immediately took people out according to the marks left by the secret guards.

After the masked man left, Tang Bingxuan thought of many ways to get out of trouble, but she was too weak to do anything and fell asleep in a daze.

When she woke up the next day, Tang Bingxuan was still lying in the same position, feeling weak and uncomfortable.

Tang Bingxuan didn't know who the other party was, but there must be some use in taking her abducted and not killing her immediately.

"Is there anyone there?" When Tang Bingxuan opened her mouth, she realized that her voice was too small to be heard. These people were too inhumane. Without food or water, would they starve to death?

Fortunately, she didn't know whether her voice could be heard even by mosquitoes or flies, or whether the other party didn't expect to starve her to death. After a cup of tea, a maid in a Clinique dress came in with a food box.

The maid walked into Tang Bingxuan respectfully, "Madam, I will feed you."

The maid who came in was very considerate. She helped Tang Bingxuan, who was lying on her back, to sit up and lean her back on two square pillows. She wiped Tang Bingxuan's face and hands with a wet handkerchief before opening the food box and feeding her.

Tang Bingxuan refused to eat the food handed over by the maid, "I'm not used to being fed, so I have to give me the antidote."

He could calmly accept the maid wiping his face and hands, but Tang Bingxuan was not happy about being fed.

She is obviously a young woman in her early twenties, not an old woman paralyzed in bed and unable to take care of herself. Isn't this an insult to her?
After a few words of advice from the maid, Tang Bingxuan didn't even open her mouth to eat, so she had no choice but to go out to ask for instructions.

If the masked man didn't actually know much about Tang Bingxuan's abilities, he just specifically ordered people to pay attention to what happened to her.

Although Jiang Shunian deliberately erased the traces of Tang Bingxuan's use of poison, the masked man who had been paying attention to Tang Bingxuan for a long time still knew a lot of inside information.

It was impossible for the concubine of Duke Rong's mansion to be able to make poison, but seeing how she acted several times, she probably carried poison with her, so the masked man made people take precautions and gave Tang Bingxuan Ruanjin Powder.

The masked man who was originally furious when he heard that the assassination plan failed, calmed down when the maid asked Tang Bingxuan for the Ruanjisan antidote.

"This is the antidote, feed it to her."

The assassination was originally a test, and the men sent were all dead men. Even if he was captured alive, the masked man was not afraid of being exposed. He calmed down and started thinking of other plans.

……

Tang Bingxuan took the antidote and finally gained strength. She finished her breakfast without any pretense. She must have strength to do anything.

At present, she still doesn’t know where she is and how many people are watching her around. Tang Bingxuan is very aware of current affairs and remains calm.

Tang Bingxuan, who had eaten enough, stayed alone in the house. Unable to get out, she could only sit down and think wildly:
"Jiang Shunian has been away from Beijing for seven days. He should be coming back. I don't know how worried I am when I find out that I am missing."

"The children didn't say goodbye properly. I wonder if they would cry and look for someone."

"I am a woman who was abducted from home. I don't know what my parents-in-law and sisters-in-law will think when I return home."

Before lunch, the maid came again to deliver food.

"What's your name?" Tang Bingxuan asked.

It is estimated that this maid was specifically responsible for delivering meals to her, so Tang Bingxuan felt that it was necessary to make appropriate contact and inquire about the information.

"Back to Madam, my name is Xing'er."

Tang Bingxuan smiled at Xing'er and said, "Xing'er, how old are you this year? How long have you been working as an errand in the house?"

Xing'er also smiled and narrowed her eyes, "I am thirteen years old this year. Madam, she looks so beautiful when she smiles."

The little girl is young and thoughtful, and Tang Bingxuan thinks Xing'er is quite interesting.
