Chapter 379 The Poisoner

Chapter 380

After all, everyone wants to live, no one wants to die, they need an explanation, a reassurance.

Just as the scene was getting out of control and the commotion was raging, there was a sound of horseshoes approaching from far away, from the official road on the left to the wide road outside the city, and came to the place where refugees gathered.

The one in the lead was Min Hengzhi in black, with a stern expression, he drew his sword from his waist, and said loudly, "Get out of the way if you don't want to die!"

Everyone knows him and knows that he is the top decision maker in Jincheng. People who originally wanted to ask him to talk to him, when they saw his cold face, they all swallowed their words and dared not say more , backed away silently.

Zheng Zhongwen pulled Qi Rongyue to Min Hengzhi's horse and asked, "Have you found out the matter?"

Min Hengzhi frowned slightly when he saw the two people holding hands together. Without saying anything, he got off his horse and waved his hand at the people behind him.

Immediately, a guard rode up on his horse, picked up the man on the horse and threw him on the ground.

The man was wailing, his queens were bound behind him, his face was disgraced, his nose was blue and his face was swollen, and there were bloody wounds on his body.

Min Hengzhi said: "My subordinates found this man sneaking under the green leaf slope ahead. When they came forward to inquire, he suddenly ran away and hurt others. After being caught, they found this on him!" The greased paper bag was taken out from the pocket, and handed to Qi Rongyue.

Zheng Zhongwen was afraid that something might be wrong, so he reached out his hand first: "I'll get it!"

Qi Rongyue was moved in her heart, smiled lightly and shook her head: "It's okay, I'll come!" She casually took the greased paper bag.

Min Hengzhi must have seen this thing, he is fine, so of course she will be fine.

Opening the oiled paper bag, there was at least half a catty of light blue powder wrapped in it, she turned her head and said to the soldiers at the side: "Take a bowl and pour half a bowl of water."

The soldiers of the government immediately did so, and quickly brought half a bowl of water. Zheng Zhongwen took the water bowl and handed it to Qi Rongyue.

Qi Rongyue poured some light blue powder into the bowl, and the powder melted into the water, and the color of the water was exactly the same as that of normal water, and there was no peculiar smell.

Qi Rongyue opened her medicine box again, and took out a shallow porcelain bottle from the second layer of the medicine box. There was a small piece of red paper pasted on the porcelain bottle, and on the paper was written the word green stone powder.

She took some white green stone powder and sprinkled it into the water bowl, and the color of the water changed immediately, becoming thick black like ink, and even bubbling continuously.

Qi Rongyue said: "If you drink such a bowl of water, within three hours, you will definitely die."

Min Hengzhi asked: "What kind of poison is this?"

Qi Rongyue said: "Landuo flower, only a hot poison like Lantuo flower will change into black when it encounters green stone powder."

Min Hengzhi doubted: "But these refugees, the symptoms after poisoning are not as serious as you said."

Qi Rongyue nodded: "That's because the person who poisoned did not directly poison their food, but chose other ways, such as putting the poison in the water of the porridge shed, and the toxin was mixed and cooked. , it will also dissipate a little, so the symptoms of the poisoned person will be mild and like an epidemic, I think, this is exactly the effect that the poisoned person wants."

Min Hengzhi looked at the man on the ground and said angrily, "Say, why did you do this?"

The man first argued that he didn't know, but after being beaten violently by the guards of the palace, he finally couldn't resist the beating and begged for mercy repeatedly: "I say I say, sir, please forgive me, sir, please forgive me!"
