Chapter 96 Exotic poisonous flowers

On the carriage, Xiang Xiaotian kept scolding Pang De for being domineering and domineering because of his master's wealth.After comforting Xiang Xiaotian, Chen Mengsheng turned around and asked Shangguan Yanran who was in a daze, "Junior Sister came out from Pang's residence, what were you thinking on the way? Where is You's family now?"

"According to the files, You Futian's home should be an old house in Qujiang Pang's house."

After hearing this, Jiang Meng, who was driving the car, gasped and said, "Qujiang is still three or four hours away from here, and we still have to go out of the west gate of Yangzhou Prefecture. Brother, it seems that we can't go today. We will go again tomorrow morning." go."

Chen Mengsheng nodded and said to Jiang Meng: "It's almost dark, so follow Brother Jiang's advice and go tomorrow."

"Hey, brothers, you should all stay at my house tonight. This morning, a few guys beat me up with a big dog. Before I have time to clean it up, let's have hot pot and eat dog meat."

Xiang Xiaotian was overjoyed and said: "That's a good relationship. The food I eat in restaurants during the day is too sweet. If you have dog meat, what are you waiting for? Go to your house quickly..."

The general guarding the city can be regarded as a genuine eighth grade. Although the general's mansion is not a mansion, it is also a courtyard with a single family.As soon as everyone entered the courtyard, they saw a big yellow dog weighing only [-] to [-] kilograms hanging by a straw rope under the eaves. It was frozen stiff after hanging for half a day.

"Okay, one yellow, two black, three flowers and four white. Among the dog meat, this yellow dog meat is the most delicious. Brother, you go find a pot to boil water, girl, you follow Brother Jiang to pack your luggage, and I will pack it here. If It would have been better to come half a day earlier, it would be much easier if the dog's blood is not frozen."

Jiang Meng smiled and spat: "If it wasn't for me to lead soldiers out of the city to fight with you half a day earlier, this dog would have been eaten long ago, so why wait for you?" Xiang Xiaotian cast a sideways glance, followed Jiang Meng into the house to put his luggage, and chose three guest rooms to pack up.

Chen Mengsheng saw that there was only a big pot on Jiangmeng's stove, and he didn't know how long it had been useless. The ash accumulated on the lid of the pot was thinner than the bottom of the pot. Fortunately, there was still water in the water tank, so he scooped up the water and cleaned it. I set up a large pot to wash and cook rice.

Xiang Xiaotian ran in and dragged Chen Mengsheng and said, "Brother, hurry up and help." Chen Mengsheng was taken by Xiang Xiaotian to the dead dog, and the dog had already been disemboweled and its internal organs removed by Xiang Xiaotian.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Chen Mengsheng asked.

"Hey, the dog's skin and meat are frozen solid. Don't you pop a red fireball in your hand? Throw it on the ground for me to defrost."

"Ah..." Chen Mengsheng opened his mouth wide in astonishment, and used Yin Lei Huo to thaw the dead dog. If Chi Jingzi knew about it, he would be roasted by the fire.Unable to be urged by Xiang Xiaotian, in desperation, a ball of red flames ignited on the ground with a flick of his index finger.The dead dog softened in a moment, Xiang Xiaotian drew a knife and scratched lightly from the neck, a piece of dog skin peeled off...

"Roll the fragrant meat three times, and the gods can't stand still. Come and taste it. If it doesn't taste good, it's really unreasonable." Xiang Xiaotian put a large plate of thin dog meat into the hot pot, and the bright red meat was in the hot pot. After a few rolls in the boiling soup with seasonings, it becomes a tempting delicacy, and when it is paired with rice wine, everyone is full of praise...

After the four of them were full, Shangguan smiled and said: "I have eaten more meat this year with Big Brother Xiang than in the past ten years in the Taoist temple combined, hehe."

Xiang Xiaotian said: "I'm just a rough person, it's not like that Boss Pang likes those flowers and grasses."

Shangguan smiled and said: "Brother, there is something wrong with that Director Pang."

"Junior Sister, it's human nature to be overwhelmed by wealth and honor."

Shangguan Yanran shook his head and said: "I mean there is something wrong with the flowers he planted." Then he took out an embroidered handkerchief from his sleeve, and there was a purple five-petal flower in the embroidered handkerchief.

Chen Mengsheng took a closer look at the tip of each petal with a hook, and there is a calyx from the flower stem to the end of the flower stem.I have never seen this kind of flower before, but I feel that it is three points similar to the Bana flower in the underworld. I just wanted to reach out to take it but was stopped by Shangguan Yanran: "Senior brother, this flower is poisonous. There are thorns on the flower and you can't hold it with your hands. , you have to take the handkerchief together."

Chen Mengsheng's outstretched hand was so cold that Shangguan Yanran froze in mid-air, but Xiang Xiaotian grabbed the embroidered handkerchief and asked, "Brother Jiang, have you ever seen this flower in Yangzhou Mansion?" Jiang Meng Shaking his head and waving his hands.

"This flower is really fragrant." Xiang Xiaotian sniffed hard a few times, with a half-smile expression on his face.Pointing at Chen Mengsheng, he said with a silly smile: "Brother...how did you...have three...heads..." Before he could speak, Xiang Xiaotian rolled his eyes and fell back straight...

Chen Mengsheng and Jiang Meng supported Xiang Xiaotian with sharp eyesight and quick hands, so that Xiang Xiaotian would not fall down. "Brother, among the people who are going to pinch Brother Xiang, Tianchi and Baihui three acupoints."

Chen Mengsheng applied Rufeng's three acupoints simultaneously, Xiang Xiaotian woke up quietly, and said blankly, "Why are you holding me?" The three of them breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he had woken up.

Shangguan Yanran said aggrievedly: "Brother, you can't blame me! I've already told you that this flower is poisonous." Chen Mengsheng shook his head and smiled wryly.

Xiang Xiaotian shook his head in a daze and asked: "Girl, what is this thing? Why is it so powerful?" Xiang Xiaotian held the embroidered handkerchief in his hand as if holding a red-hot coal, and threw it back In the hands of Shangguan Yanran.

Shangguan smiled and said: "This flower is called Datura flower, and it has five colors of green, white, red, and purple. White Datura flowers are common in the Central Plains, and they are called the flower of Wuxiang in Buddhism. It is mainly white mandala, but this purple mandala is different."

"Junior Sister knows this flower so well, it's no wonder she stopped in the garden of Pang Mansion."

"Hehe, senior brother praised you. It's just because Yanran was lucky enough to see her father get this flower in the Danding Sect, so she knew it. This purple mandala was produced in the Western Regions. It likes warmth and hates cold. The fragrance of the flower is fragrant, and there are sunspots in the calyx. If it is placed in a place where people live, people who smell the light fragrance of flowers will have hallucinations and become drowsy, and those who are heavy will lose all five senses and look like a walking dead. If people take three or five sunspots in the calyx, they can poison people to death in the invisible."

Jiang Meng was speechless: "This flower is so overbearing, so is there an antidote for poisoning?"

Shangguan Yanran said with embarrassment: "If you eat sunspots in the calyx by mistake, there is no medicine to cure it. If you are only deeply poisoned by the fragrance of flowers, you can use it...you can use the human yellow in the bucket of gold to cure it."

Xiang Xiaotian was embarrassed when he heard the words: "It's dangerous, it's dangerous. If the flower poison is deep, then I'm going to eat shit?!"

Shangguan Yanran said: "I heard from my father that the purple mandala flower needs to be watered with human blood, so my father put the flower in the alchemy furnace and burned it."

Xiang Xiaotian thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the gardener discovered something that made Pound kill him?"

Jiang Meng slapped his thigh and said: "Brother Xiang is right, the murders in the Yangzhou mansion must have been committed by this villain. I'll go back and report to Master Zhu, and send soldiers to capture Pang De's villain." After finishing speaking Jiang Meng rushed out anxiously.

"Brother Jiang, wait a minute. I checked the case file with Mr. Zhu, the prefect, and found that there is no connection among the more than 40 people. It doesn't seem to be Pang De's work..."

Chen Mengsheng stood up and said, "Brother, there is no real basis for my junior sister to say more now. Let's make sense after we go to Qujiang to investigate You Shuibao tomorrow morning."

In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Meng drove Chen Mengsheng and the three out of the west gate of Yangzhou Mansion and headed straight for Qujiang.It was already past noon when the car drove to Qujiang, and found You Futian's home.Chen Mengsheng knocked on the wooden door lightly, an old woman came to open the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Auntie, may I ask if You Futian lives here?"

The old woman turned her head and shouted into the house: "Old man, someone is looking for you." The door was opened to welcome Chen Mengsheng and the others.

A stooped old man walked out of the room and said, "What do you want me for?"

Jiang Meng stepped forward and cupped his hands and said, "Jiang Meng, the general guarding Yangzhou Prefecture, this visit is for the murder of your son a year ago."

The old woman came to help the old man You, and the old man You sighed and said: "It's all my family's water treasure, which has no blessings. It's a good thing to say to the gardener in Pang's mansion that it will be gone..." The old woman was even more tearful.

"Let's talk in the room, it's freezing outside, please."

Chen Mengsheng and others entered the house, and the house was complete with everything.Old man You greeted everyone to sit down, and ordered his wife to cook some dishes to invite people to dinner.

Chen Mengsheng asked: "Old Man You, you were the first to discover You Shuibao's sudden death in the conservatory? Did he have any abnormalities at that time?"

"In the early autumn of last year, I was the first to discover my son Shuibao in the greenhouse. There was no injury or tear on his body, and he just disappeared..."

Shangguan Yanran took out an embroidered handkerchief from her sleeve and asked, "Have Uncle You seen this flower before?"

You Futian carefully looked at the purple mandala flower in Shangguan Yanran's hand, shook his head and said, "I've never seen a flower in a girl's hand."

Xiang Xiaotian said anxiously: "You have to see clearly, maybe this flower has a great relationship with the death of my son."

You Futian saw several people's faces sinking into the water, and he didn't dare to be careless. He looked at the flower carefully and still shook his head and said: "The little old man has been a gardener in Pang's family since Mrs. Pang Tai's generation. It has been more than 50 years. It's as if I've never seen this flower before."

Chen Mengsheng thought for a while and said, "When did Uber leave the Pang Mansion?"

"More than a month after my son's death, Mr. Pang thought that we were old and lost our son and gave some money and this house so that we can enjoy our old age here."

While talking, the old woman came over with a wooden tray, which contained a plate of scrambled eggs and a bowl of brown rice drink with four big bowls of green vegetables.Although it is simple tea and light rice, it is full of color, fragrance and taste, and the green vegetables with egg yolks will whet your appetite.

The old woman rubbed her hands together and said, "You guys have come from afar, and I don't have anything good to entertain you all, so please forgive me."

You Futian said: "My old lady was also Feng Yindi, the number one cook in the Zhunfu, my girl cooks good dishes with her mother, and now she is the cook in the Slender West Lake painting boat."

"What? Huafang? Brother, I think I understand the connection between the murders of more than 40 people in Yangzhou Prefecture..."
