Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 719
The woman smiled, then took off her hood, revealing a peerless face, this person is none other than Hongyan!
Hongyan bowed to Huiguang and saluted, then went to the table where the corpse was placed and inspected the corpse.

"My lord, I can be sure that this person has indeed been poisoned by Gu." Hongyan said with certainty after checking.

Li Canghai nodded: "Maybe you can find out what Gu poison is?"

Hongyan nodded, took out a small incense burner from his sleeve, lit a stick of incense, and placed it next to the corpse.

"What is this?" Li Canghai asked.

"My lord, this thing is Miaojiang's 'Holy Gu Ding', which can collect Gu worms from all over the world, and this incense stick is called 'Yin Yin Incense', the combination of these two can successfully expel Gu worms." Hongyan said.

The few people stopped talking, and then all their eyes were on the censer.

After a while, blackness started to appear on the old man's arm.

Not long after, a few ant-sized Gu worms crawled out from the old man's wound, and crawled into the incense burner following the scent.

Seeing this, Hongyan immediately covered the incense burner.

"Hongyan, what kind of Gu is this?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

Hongyan frowned slightly, and said: "My lord, this is the 'Soul Devouring Gu', this kind of Gu insect can not only charm the mind, but also make people become as vicious as wild animals. This Gu is too vicious, I have always been Miaojiang Forbidden Gu, how could it appear here?"

After hesitating for a moment, Hongyan asked, "My lord, what is the identity of this person?"

"It's just common people." Li Canghai said calmly.

"Strange, since he is an ordinary person, how could someone kill him with such forbidden Gu?" Hongyan asked doubtfully.

"This shows a problem. Although this person is an ordinary person, the things he participated in are not ordinary. Otherwise, he would not have used such a rare Gu to kill him." Li Canghai narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice .

Hongyan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: "My lord, as far as I know, this Gu is a Gu of my Five Sages, and only elders and above can use it. The person who cast the Gu must have profound skills, sir, you must be on guard!"

At this moment, Han Qu, the prefect of Chang'an, came to Yizhuang in a hurry.

"My lord, my lord! No, it's not good!" Han Quyuan shouted outside the courtyard.

When Li Canghai walked to the door, he happened to see Han Qu running towards him in a hurry. His feet suddenly tripped over the threshold, and he fell over and gnawed on the mud.

"Master Han, what happened again?" Li Canghai was speechless for a while, every time Han Qu came, there must be nothing good, and now seeing his sweaty face, Li Canghai could think with his toes, it must have happened again Something is unsolvable.

"My lord, something serious happened!" Han Qu got up from the ground, panting.

"Lord Han, the sky is falling, and there is still a tall one holding it up. You are in such a hurry, but you look like a court official? What happened, let's take your time." Li Canghai frowned.

"My lord taught me a lesson." Han Qu gasped desperately, calmed himself down, and said, "My lord, according to a report from the yamen servants, a large-scale cat and dog attack occurred in Anxingfang near Dongshi! Those cats and dogs bite people when they see them, and all the people who are bitten seem to go crazy and attack people everywhere!"

"What?" Li Canghai exclaimed, "When did this happen?"

"My lord, about an hour ago..." Han Qu said tremblingly, wiping the sweat off his face.

"My lord, according to the situation, it seems that the deceased has been poisoned by Gu." Hongyan stepped forward and said.

"Could it be that the poison was transmitted from cats and dogs?" Li Canghai asked with a frown.

"Return to my lord, this Gu will live when it sees blood. The scratches on the dead man's arm should be cat's claws. If I guessed correctly, the cat's claws must be infected with poisonous Gu, so after catching someone, The Gu worms entered the body of the deceased." Hongyan said with eyebrows furrowed.

"Based on what you've seen, how many poisonous Gu can be infected on a cat's paw?" Li Canghai asked seriously.

"This poisonous Gu is extremely difficult to cultivate, and the number is not large. On a cat's claw, there are no more than ten attached to it. However, this poisonous Gu lives on the sight of blood. If the poisonous Gu left on a cat's claw has not If cultured with fresh blood, it will wither, but the remaining toxicity is extremely contagious. Once, a tribe in Miaojiang was infected with this Gu, and in just three days, the entire tribe's humans and animals died!" Hongyan dignified authentic.

Hearing this, Han Qu was so frightened that his legs went limp, and he was paralyzed on the ground.

Although he couldn't understand what Gu worms were, but from Hongyan's words, he could understand about half of them.

In short, this Gu poison is like a plague.

And Chang'an City has a large population, if this kind of Gu worms are rampant, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"My lord, you have to think of a way! If the Gu poison is rampant in Chang'an City, even ten heads of the lower officials are not enough to cut off..." Han Qu knelt on the ground, pulled the corner of Li Canghai's clothes, and said with tears .

Li Canghai frowned tightly, with a seriousness that had never been seen on his face.

He helped Han Qu up, and asked Hongyan: "How many people can the poison of this poison spread?"

"The toxicity of one Gu worm can infect about ten people. Every time it infects a person, the toxicity becomes weaker." Hongyan said.

"In this way, one Gu worm can infect nearly a hundred people?" Han Qu was so frightened that he almost sat down on the ground and cried out.

Hongyan nodded heavily.

Li Canghai closed his eyes, rubbed the center of his brows vigorously, and suddenly asked: "Since you know the poison of this Gu insect, do you have a solution?"

"This...to tell you the truth, my lord, this Gu Nu family has only heard about it in the teaching, but I have never seen it. The way to deal with it, the Nu family is not very sure." Hongyan said hesitantly.

Li Canghai walked a few steps, stopped suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "The situation is urgent, and only a dead horse should be treated as a living horse. Master Han, go and evacuate the people quickly, and catch all the cats and dogs. Infected people should be detained in a centralized manner!"

"Yes, I'll do it right now!" Knowing the seriousness of the situation, Han Qu didn't dare to hesitate for a moment, and after a reply, he ran away in a hurry.

"Hongyan, go to the scene to check the situation quickly, you must make an antidote!" Li Canghai said seriously.

"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best." Hongyan said.

"Human life is at stake. You don't do your best, you have to go all out!" Li Canghai said seriously.

Hongyan nodded.

Huiguang recited the Buddha's name and said: "Female benefactor, the poor monk knows a little bit about medicine, why don't you let the poor monk go with you."

"It would be great to have a master with us." Hongyan bowed slightly to Huiguang, and then said to Li Canghai: "My lord, it's not too late. The servants will go to make the antidote and leave."

Li Canghai nodded, and Huiguang and Hongyan left immediately.

After the two left, a flash of anger flashed in Li Canghai's eyes. After the celebrity took care of the corpse, Li Canghai left Yizhuang.
