At night.

The entire Zhao Mansion has become quiet.

A figure was walking along the path with a lantern. Soon after, his steps stopped and stopped in front of Mr. Zhao's yard.

The two maids who were about to go in to take care of Mr. Zhao saw the figures coming, and greeted them softly: "Manager Zhao."

The person who walked over with the lantern was Zhao Shi.

Zhao Shi waved his hand and said, "I'm going to see the master's situation as usual tonight. You guys hurry up and go in and do it. I'll stand by and take a look and leave."

"Yes." The maids responded, and then walked into the room gently.

Because the maid in the room had already lit two small lamps, Zhao Shi simply put the lantern in his hand outside the room.

He walked into the house and came to Mr. Zhao's bed. He checked Mr. Zhao as usual. After confirming that there was no problem, he nodded and said to the maids: "Mr.'s condition is still the same as usual. I'll leave first. You can move more quickly later. Don't disturb the master's rest."

"Yes." Several maids nodded. After Zhao Shi left, they gently wiped Mr. Zhao's face, hands and other places, and changed the toilet under the bed. After doing all this carefully, they closed the door and left.

After all these people left, three figures were exposed behind the screen in the room, and these three figures were Lin Chen, Li Xiaoran and Zhao Yi.

"Brother Lin, what is the point of asking me to hide here at night?" Zhao Yi asked in confusion.

During the day, Lin Chen said that his father was poisoned, but when Zhao Yi asked about the details, Lin Chen said nothing and said that he would wait until night to inform him. At night, he was pulled by Lin Chen to his father's house and squatted. At this moment, after experiencing this series of things, Zhao Yi felt completely confused. He even suspected that Lin Chen was playing with him. If this was the case, although he had to make him angry because of Mu Yunchang's face, he would definitely drive him away!

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Mr. Zhao, please be careful and listen to me to explain in detail."

Zhao Yi said nothing and signaled Lin Chen to continue.

Lin Chen said: "Actually, at the beginning, I thought Ling Zun had suffered from some strange disease, but when I really checked Ling Zun's body, I had different ideas. Regarding this idea, I also said it during the day. I was not very sure, but when Mr. Zhao said Ling Zun had taken a lot of supplements, I strengthened this idea, right?"

Zhao Yi nodded and said, "That's what you said."

Lin Chen nodded and continued, "Actually, Mr. Zhao's words only made my vision more firm, but until this moment, I dare not be 100% sure to believe that Ling Zun was poisoned, or... he was poisoned like what I said! All of this must be based on one foundation... A Ling Zun will have an attack tonight!"

"Brother Lin, what do you mean?" Zhao Yi frowned slightly. Although he knew that Lin Chen was standing in the position of "doctor" and talking to him, no matter what, he always felt strange when he heard others say that his father would get sick.

Lin Chen explained: "When I was learning from my master before, I heard him mention a pretty clever way of poisoning..."

"oh?"

This time it was not only Zhao Yi, but also Li Xiaoran, who was standing aside without saying a word, looked curious.

Zhao Yi only thought that Lin Chen's master was a master of Xinglin, but Li Xiaoran knew who Lin Chen's master was. It would be very powerful to be able to be called "pretty clever" by a sword immortal.

Lin Chen saw the doubt and curiosity in their eyes, so he sorted out his thoughts and explained in a low voice: "I don't know who invented this technique, nor where it was spread. I only know... the poisoned person is like Mr. Zhao at this moment. His pulse looks stable on the surface, his face is rosy, and his qi and blood are strong. But in fact, his whole body is already weak, especially the longer it drags on, the more it collapses!"

"But it's wrong!" Zhao Yi asked, "Since my father fell ill and was bedridden, I have invited countless doctors to treat him. They all said that my father had no other conditions except for his strong qi and blood. How could he...?"

"This is the cleverness of this poisoning technique!" Lin Chen explained: "My master didn't say much about the specific situation, so I don't know much about it. But as far as I know, this poisoning technique has a medicine guide. No one knows what this medicine guide is, but it is mixed in tonics to make these tonics breed toxins. On the surface, these toxins make the poisoned person look healthy and fine, but secretly, the heart, liver, spleen, stomach, kidney and other organs of the poisoned person have been poisoned by these toxins!"

"So, what should I do?" Zhao Yi frowned: "Stop taking my father's tonic?"

"This is one of the ways!" Lin Chen nodded and said, "But all this must be based on Lingzun's poison. "

Zhao Yi said nothing and waited for him to continue talking.

"Although this poison is difficult to see, I just knew that there was such a thing when I checked it through the true qi, so I imagined it in this regard..." Lin Chen explained: "But... this toxin has one disadvantage, that is... it is not enough to kill people immediately!"

"What's this a disadvantage?" Li Xiaoran asked. There were too many poisons for delays. I won't talk about anything else. I just want to say that the sweating drugs used by the Liang army when they wiped out the bandits last time, as long as they grasp the dosage, it would not be a problem for people to fall asleep for a while.

Lin Chen shook his head and explained, "This is different! You all know about arsenic and crane red things, right? These two poisons occur very quickly, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they die if they touch them! But the poison I am talking about at this moment is like the Five Stones Spiced by the addict. It can only slowly destroy the organ structure in the human body. Even if it inhales a large amount of toxins at one time, it will be the same! And if you do this, the poisoner will have obvious abnormalities, which makes people notice it. Therefore, the poisoner... can only attack Mr. Zhao by simmering the warm fire!"

"According to what Brother Lin means..." Zhao Yi's heart was already sank when he heard Lin Chen's words. If this toxin could only be quenched by "warm fire", wouldn't it mean that two months ago, not... or even longer ago, someone had already attacked his father! And this person must be a person in the Zhao family, otherwise who could do such a long time?
