Chapter 227 Join hands

Elder Zhuque winked, and the beggar didn't say much, but nodded to Qi Ning to show gratitude. He turned around and walked to the wall and leaned back under the wall.

"The Marquis turned out to be kind to our Beggars' Sect." Elder Zhuque sighed: "Those brothers just now were offended, so don't care about them."

Qi Ning shook his head and said, "I don't have time to care about these things. Elder Zhuque, I'm here tonight to ask you to do a favor."

"Oh?" Elder Zhuque frowned and said, "What does the Marquis want to beg for Huazi?"

Qi Ning thought for a while before saying, "Elder Zhuque, I just said that after the poisonous attack of your Beggar Gang disciples, they can still control them from running around the streets and alleys, but there are many infected people in the capital. According to our calculations, there will be a large-scale outbreak of the epidemic today as soon as possible."

Elder Zhuque changed his color slightly and said, "The epidemic is about to break out today?"

When Qi Ning looked at his expression, he knew that the Beggars' Sect had not yet calculated the time of the outbreak of the epidemic. Tang Nuo obviously predicted it first and nodded, "No, so I need your Beggars' Sect's help now."

"Mr. Marquis, you can see the situation. The Beggars' Sect is now out of their way. Although we found out that the brothers were poisoned rather than epidemics, we could not find a way to detoxify them at all." Elder Zhuque looked solemn: "But I don't know what the Beggars' Sect can do to the Marquis?"

"Let your brothers who are infected with the virus will rush to the streets and alleys now." Qi Ning said: "Let their viruses attack early."

Elder Zhuque was stunned, obviously not understanding it, and he said in confusion: "The epidemic poison occurred early? Marquis, what do you mean?"

"Elder Zhuque, let me ask you first, what does your disciple look like after the poisonous attack occurred?" Qi Ning looked solemn.

Elder Zhuque sighed: "At the beginning, the red spots were not conspicuous, but the red spots became bigger every day and the color was getting darker." After a pause, he raised his hand to signal Qi Ning to chat while walking. The two of them walked slowly to the front hall: "When the red spots break open, blood flows out, and people become confused. In this situation, there are two conditions for poisoned people. One is to be drowsy, and the second is to run around like a wild beast, and catch people when they see them."

Qi Ning nodded slightly.

Elder Zhuque continued: "If those sleeping people do not disturb them, they will not wake up, without eating or drinking, but if they are disturbed a little, they will become vicious and become like wild animals." He smiled bitterly: "The people the Marquis just saw are almost poisonous. We will tie them up before they are poisonous."

Qi Ning said: "But those ordinary people don't know that there will be such consequences. Once the poison is out, they will first affect their families, and then they will rush out of the house and go crazy in the streets and alleys of the capital." His expression was slightly cold: "Elder Zhuque, why do you hide such a big deal? If you informed the God Marquis' Mansion in advance, things might not be as uncontrollable as they are now."

Elder Zhuque has been living in the world for many years, with deep experience, and naturally has great ability to observe words and expressions. At this time, he already understood that Qi Ning came here and really wanted to discuss with him how to deal with the epidemic. When the disaster was coming, he knew that both sides would be more honest and said, "I will not hide it from the Marquis. My Beggars' Sect. This incident is a grudge between the Beggars' Sect and the Black Lotus Holy Sect. The Jianghu Gang will handle things and will never let outsiders interfere easily, let alone my Beggars' Sect."

"How many times have you talked about the Black Lotus Holy Sect? Where is the gang?" Qi Ning frowned and said, "You mean that this time the poisoning was the poisoning of the Black Lotus Holy Sect?"

Elder Zhuque said: "Although we have no way to detoxify, we have already realized that if nothing unexpected happens, the poison this time comes from the land of Bashu. Only the Black Lotus Holy Sect has the ability to match such a ruthless poison."

"Ba Shu?" Qi Ning was stunned, "Is the Black Lotus Holy Sect a Ba Shu force?"

Elder Zhuque nodded and said, "That's right." Just as he was about to explain, Qi Ning had already said, "We will investigate again after this matter. This time someone was poisoned, fierce and cruel. He ignored the lives and deaths of the people. The court would never let go afterwards." He also said, "The most urgent task is to prevent those who were poisoned from taking to the streets, implicating more people, and to find ways to get the poisoned people out of danger."

Elder Zhuque nodded and said, "What the Marquis said is so true. What should we do next?"

"I said that the disciples who were poisoned by the Beggars' Sect were poisoned in advance." Qi Ning said: "How many disciples in your Beggars' Sect are still at the time of their poisoning deterioration?"

Elder Zhuque thought for a while before saying, "There are at least two hundred people."

"Okay, let them go out to the streets now." Qi Ning said: "Tell them that after going out to the streets, they must not hurt people, but they must act like poisonous hair."

Elder Zhuque said strangely: "Why did the Marquis ask us to do this?"

"The capital city needs to be blocked, but the palace is closed and I cannot enter the palace." Qi Ning said: "I have no right to dispatch troops. Only by letting the disciples of the Beggar Gang perform poison first will the court mobilize troops to block the streets of the capital city. In this way, when the infected person really attacks, the court will prepare first and control the situation."

When Elder Zhuque heard this, he was stunned at first, then looked at Qi Ning's eyes, stopped, thinking about something.

Seeing him hesitant, Qi Ning frowned and said, "Elder Zhuque, I know what you are thinking. Are you worried that this will be a trap set for your Beggars' Sect? I don't have time to explain it to you now, but you have to understand that if the epidemic poison is really caused by the grudge between your Beggars' Sect and the Black Lotus Holy Sect, although the Black Lotus Holy Sect will be wiped out by the court, even your Beggars' Sect will not be able to escape."

Elder Zhuque changed his color slightly, but still didn't say anything.

"If you hesitate for a moment, there may be one more person who will suffer." Qi Ning said, "I'm in a hurry and there's no time to consider it. I've been running around for this matter all night. You'll send people now, otherwise there will be countless casualties in the capital by then..." His eyes became cold and he said, "I will not let you go first."

Elder Zhuque hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Does the Marquis dare to guarantee that after I sent someone out, someone will use this to slander my Beggars' Sect's intention to rebel, and even add other charges. Can the Marquis come forward to testify for us?"

"No need to testify. If something really happens, I will stand in front of you and take responsibility." Qi Ning heard Elder Zhuque's tone relaxed, and knew that this old guy should also understand that it was important. "Don't worry, the Beggar Gang disciples went to the streets and the officers and soldiers found out that they would not hurt you."

Elder Zhuque hesitated for a while, and then nodded after a while, "Okay, since the Marquis is so sure, then my Beggars' Sect will do his best to cooperate." Without hesitation, he quickly returned to the main hall. As soon as Qi Ning entered the main hall, he saw Qi Feng and the two of them standing in the hall with anger on their faces. The beggars around him were surrounded, and both sides were full of gunpowder.

"Qi Feng!" Qi Ning shouted, and saw Qi Feng's angry look on his face, and he was trying to fight with the Beggars' Sect, and shouted in a deep voice: "Don't be rude!"

Qi Feng looked over in the voice and looked slightly surprised when he saw Qi Ning. When Qi Ning came over, he came back and said, "Marty, these beggars are so brave. Before I could say a few words, they...!"

"I already know it." Qi Ning said: "Let's talk about this later."

However, Elder Zhuque waved to Bai Shenghao, the leader of the Ghost Golden Sheep branch. Bai Shenghao quickly walked over. The two of them reached the corner of the room. Elder Zhuque whispered in a low voice, as if he was talking to Bai Shenghao. Qi Ning just looked at him from a distance. Seeing whether Bai Shenghao was looking at him, and his expression was grim, he knew that this guy was still hesitating.

However, Elder Zhuque led the southern branch of the seven constellations of the Beggar Gang, and Bai Shenghao naturally dared not refuse to obey the order he passed.

Sure enough, not long after, Bai Shenghao had already bowed to Elder Zhuque, then quickly came over and said to the beggars in the hall, "You follow me." He walked out of the main hall first, and the beggars looked at each other, but they didn't know why, but they didn't dare to disobey, and followed them one after another.

Elder Zhuque walked over slowly, looked at Qi Ning, and said, "Marty, the old beggar has cooperated with you with all his strength, but the old beggar hopes that you will not let us down."

Qi Ning breathed a little relieved at this time. He had been struggling for the middle of the night, and was exhausted at this time. Finally, he had some results and felt relieved in his heart.

He only hopes that Xue Lingfeng will not let him down.

"Elder Zhuque, I want to bring a corpse back now and find a way to detoxify as soon as possible." Qi Ning said: "I can't guarantee whether it is successful or not, but we will do our best. The Beggars' Sect must also stabilize the brothers under their command. We must not make a mistake at this time."

Elder Zhuque nodded and said, "Don't worry, Marquis, the Beggars' Sect has their own qualities."

When Qi Ning left Luoguxiang, he brought out a body from the Beggar Gang who died of the epidemic as he wished. This is indeed an exception for the Beggar Gang.

But Elder Zhuque knew very well that now is an extraordinary time, and the Beggars' Sect is indeed facing unprecedented disasters. More than 200 people can be seen in the gang have been infected. In addition, it is very likely that some of them have not been revealed. If an exception is given to send a corpse to help prepare the antidote, which is more important, Elder Zhuque naturally cannot not understand.

Because the body was infected, for safety reasons, the body was wrapped in several layers of thick cloth.

Qi Ning divided his troops into two groups. He took Zhao Wushang and two guards to send the body directly to Yong'an Hall, while Qi Feng went back to Jinyi Hou Mansion and took Tang Nuo to the medicine shop.

When we arrived at Yong'an Hall, there was a guard in the pharmacy who was watching. He vacated a back room in the pharmacy and put the body in. After that, no one dared to act rashly and could only wait for Tang Nuo to come.
