Aristocratic Concubine

Chapter 370 Interrogation (2)
"My lord, it's not that I'm a lower official who refuses to say it, it's true, I can't say it." Mr. Qian didn't expect Shangguan Yeli to turn his back on him and deny him, so he couldn't help but sullen, and said angrily.

"Don't say? Well, I'll send this letter to Lantau Pass right now?" Shangguan Ye walked out of the study while listening to the words, Mr. Qian was in a hurry, and hurriedly chased after a few steps: "The prince is here again. Why bother to force you so much, I really have some unavoidable difficulties, these sons of old connections will definitely understand after staying for a long time, so don't embarrass me anymore."

"You don't have to say it, but I guarantee that you will not be punished less than you say it." Shangguan Yeli didn't bother to talk to him anymore, left that sentence coldly, and walked out. Mr. Qian saw him Wiping the sweat off his forehead, he said: "Okay then, Shi Ziye, there are a lot of people talking here, how about we talk about it in another place?"

Only then did Shangguan Yeli turn around, and asked Ping An to lead someone to secure Mr. Qian, and he put away the letter himself, and they left Mr. Qian's tent together, and many generals outside did not disperse. , One by one, they gathered around the barracks and poked their heads. Seeing Shangguan Yeli come out with a dark face, he immediately scattered like birds and beasts. Shangguan Yeli knew that it would be impossible to clean up military discipline in a short period of time, so he coldly yelled at the generals outside without saying a word. Send to go outside the camp.

But the group of them hadn't gone far when they suddenly heard Lord Qian howling in pain. When Wanqing looked back, he saw that Lord Qian had already squatted on the ground, pumping animals non-stop. His face was swollen purple, his eyes protruded, and the eyeballs seemed to be popping out of their sockets. This situation was so familiar. Shangguan Yeli also looked like this when the Gu poison took hold. Li grabbed her and protected her behind him.

Pingan said to Shangguan Yeli with a nervous expression: "Master, no one has cast a secret trap, and the servant has not heard any rumors. I am afraid that there is poison in his body, and it just happened."

Wanqing didn't take it seriously, Shangguan Yeli and the emperor had been poisoned by the Gu poison for many years, and their bodies were all thin, while this Lord Qian, with a fat waist and a full belly, didn't look like someone who had been poisoned by the Gu poison at all. I'm afraid that someone saw that his matter was exposed, and they were afraid that he would tell more secret things, so they murdered him temporarily. I am afraid that the things inside Mr. Qian's fur and body hair have long been mastered by wizards. After leaving the questioning master, the person who used the Gu would secretly cast Gu on him. This kind of killing and silencing technique, I don't know how to guard against it, and it is even more difficult to stop it.

"Put his finger with a knife to keep him awake." Wanqing said quietly.

Ping An immediately complied, Master Qian really became more sober, Wan Qing hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Tell me, what kind of deal did you make with the third prince? Now they are going to kill you, so you should tell it quickly. It can be your chance to make meritorious deeds and redeem your crimes, do you want your wife and children to be implicated by you and be convicted together?"

Mr. Qian was in so much pain that he was throbbing all over his body, and his teeth were chattering up and down, but he looked at the northern sky in despair with both eyes, and murmured: "No...impossible, I...I still have a batch of goods to deliver. , They don't...it's impossible to kill me."

"If you don't say anything, you will go to hell with your money." Wanqing scolded angrily.

"I... can't say it, I said it... the crime is even bigger..." Mr. Qian's eyes became more and more dull, and he began to foam from his mouth. The poison in him is obviously not of the same type as that of Shangguan Yeli and the emperor. , Wanqing didn't know how to rescue him, so she could only watch him twitch on the ground.

The officers and soldiers who had dispersed just now surrounded them again, Prince Gong's nephew Sima Ming said loudly: "My God, Lord Qian was poisoned by them, he is a fourth-rank member of the imperial court, Lord Shangguan, you are too much!" Are you arrogant, to lynch Lord Qian? I will go to King Kang to sue you."

Shangguan Yeli narrowed his eyes and said, "Is the Thirty Army Baton just now too light? You said I used lynching, what evidence do you have?"

After hearing this, several other generals at the side rushed forward to pull Sima Ming away, and smiled at Shangguan Yeli: "Lord Governor, calm down, brother Sima is confused."

As he spoke, he dragged Sima Ming away. Sima Ming was still a little bit cursing, and he didn't know what the general said to him, so he shut up.

Shangguan Yeli ordered a few generals who seemed to be quite upright, and went back to the Dudu Mansion with him.

Back in the Dudu Mansion, Wanqing still followed Shangguan Yeli, and immediately summoned the military doctor in the Dudu Mansion in the mansion to treat Lord Qian in front of those few generals. The military doctor also lived in Beijiang for many years Yes, he is used to symptoms like Mr. Qian's. He took some worms, withered grass, rags and so on, burned them in a bowl, and then poured the burnt water into Mr. Qian's mouth. Mr. Qian was considered better, but his mind was confused, he was very dazed and unconscious, and there was no way to ask him anything.

Shangguan Yeli had no choice but to have Mr. Qian taken to live in a side room in the governor's mansion and sent to guard him.

Wanqing was very interested in the old military doctor's medical skills, and asked, "Master Qian, do you know what kind of Gu poison is in Lord Qian?"

The old military doctor replied: "I can't find it out. The officials are just superficial. Many Hu people in Longjing Town understand the tricks of dispelling the Gu just now. Brother, you should be more careful when you go out in the future. It's very troublesome, and they may cast spells anytime, anywhere."

Wanqing frowned deeply when she heard that, she still didn't quite believe that witchcraft could have such a strange lethality, otherwise, the people of Beirong would just cast Gu directly on the senior generals of the Great Zhou, so why would they fight?

"Many barbarians who know witchcraft have nourished life Gu since they were young. They only need to use it once, and they will lose a lot of blood. The use of Gu is very harmful to the body. When it is the life Gu, if the victim dies Well, the person who used the Gu couldn't survive, so the barbarians don't often use Gu, unless that person is their most hated enemy." The old military doctor seemed to see Wanqing's confusion, and explained with a smile.

So it makes sense, "Does my lord know about Zi Poison Gu? Will the person who cast the Gu also die because of the death of the person who received the Gu?"

"Zi Poison Gu?" The old military doctor's face changed when he heard this, and there was a trace of fear in his eyes, and he looked at Wanqing in surprise: "My little brother actually knows Zi Poison Gu? It's just a legendary Gu species. I heard that Only great wizards can cast it, and it can only be used once in a lifetime. That kind of Gu is too vicious and overbearing, and the caster will not die, because, as long as there are descendants left by the Gu victim, the Gu poison will remain forever. Inheritance, as long as there is no peerless generation, the Gu caster will not die."
