Bai Yan was lying on the bed, breathing rapidly. Jian and Yue stood aside with several maids, watching uneasily.
"You guys go down first!"
Bai Yan gasped and said, looking at Yan's tearful appearance, he smiled, seeming to remember that he cried so helplessly when he saw his grandmother sick.
Under Jane's leadership, Yan Sanbu turned around and reluctantly followed the others out of the room.
Only Master Xu and Bai Yan were left in the room.
Master Xu came to the bedside.
Because he was not a doctor who treated the disease, and Bai Yan did not bring back the murderer's sword, Master Xu could only judge the type of poison through the wound and Bai Yan's feeling.
"Gentleman, it's Master Xu's fault!"
Master Xu knelt in front of Bai Yan and said with red eyes and tears.
Through observation, Master Xu roughly guessed that this poison was the most commonly used poison by Master Xu from the sword-making family.
This is a secret that is not passed down by the Xu family. Only people of the Xu family know the method of detoxification.
Apparently after Bai Yan killed Mrs. Xu's two sons, for some unknown reason, Mrs. Xu guessed that Bai Yan was the mastermind.
Master Xu informed Bai Yan about the poison.
"What's wrong? Isn't there an antidote?"
Bai Yan smiled and asked Master Xu to stand up.
After confirming that it was the poison secretly passed down by the Xu family who made the sword, he thought about the martial arts of those people and understood that it was the killer sent by Mrs. Xu.
Knowing that Master Xu had the antidote, Bai Yan's first reaction was to consider whether it could be used.
"Gentleman, Master Xu will prepare the antidote right now!"
Master Xu said to Bai Yan.
However, before Master Xu could leave with tears streaming down his face, Bai Yan called out to Master Xu.
"If most of the poison is removed first, will there be any hidden dangers?"
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu.
In this case, Mrs. Xu's revenge, as well as Gongzi Jia, Guo Kai, other scholars, and even his current identity as Xu Zixiao.
These are either stated openly or are well-documented.
The biggest variable is Master Xu, whose identity has never been revealed.
"At least half of it must be removed first so that the remaining toxicity will not corrode the muscles and bones. Within half a month, rest and rest to eliminate the remaining toxicity."
Master Xu looked at Bai Yan with red eyes. In a moment of confusion, he thought of Bai Yan's plan.
Master Xu knew very well about this toxicity, but it was surprising that she still said that at least half of it would be removed, and the timeframe would be from three years to half a month.
"Then remove most of it first!"
Bai Yan looked at Master Xu with a pale face and whispered.
the other side.
Late night in Handan City.
In a room of a mansion, under the wooden floor behind a thin cloth, several silk clothes and women's underwear were scattered on the wooden floor.
Look again.
A huge wooden barrel stood in the room, and with the rising mist, a naked and beautiful woman was enjoying herself in the barrel.
Zhao Qiu looked at her slender hands, beautiful face and the look in her eyes, which gave people a cold feeling.
Seeing this scene, it is difficult to imagine that in the eyes of others, the once enchanting Zhao Qiu and this chilling Zhao Qiu are the same person.
Inside the barrel.
As a slender hand stretched out from the water, Zhao Qiu's alluring figure appeared from the water in an instant.
After a while.
Her wet white feet stepped on the wooden board. Under the service of the maid, a delicate silk dress was draped on Zhao Qiu's body.
"Princess, there is news from Bei City. A nobleman was assassinated in the streets of Bei City tonight after leaving Gongzi Jia's mansion. The murderer smeared poison on the blade, and all eight of Gongzi Jia's followers were killed."
A woman wearing tight clothes and wearing a sword came to the room and handed over her hand to report.
Zhao Qiu frowned slightly when he heard the woman's words.
Beishi?
Living in Beishi allows Gongzijia to send eight retinues to escort him back home!
For some reason, Zhao Qiu suddenly thought of a person and had a vague premonition in his heart.
"Do you know the life and death of that scholar, as well as his name?"
Surrounded by the maids, Zhao Qiu turned his head and looked outside the gauze.
"I heard that his surname is Xu! He is good at martial arts. According to the news, he should have walked back to his mansion after being injured."
The woman outside the gauze said.
Hearing this, Zhao Qiu said nothing more and got dressed under the service of the maid.
He set up an ambush in Bei City late at night and even smeared poison with his knife. He was determined to kill the man named Xu.
Zhao Qiu didn't know yet who did it.
But no matter who it was, Zhao Qiu knew that the other party would undoubtedly offend Master Jia to death.
Xu Zixiao had just sent 50,000 stones of grain and millet to Zhao. Not even a day had passed before he was ambushed in Beishi that night, and even poison was smeared with his sword.
Now Gongzi Jia not only has to give an explanation to the man named Xu, but also to other noble clans. If the murderer cannot be found, Gongzi Jia's reputation will be completely ruined in the future.
If that person named Xu has three advantages and two disadvantages!
Zhao Qiu frowned. She didn't care about the life or death of Xu, but she did care about the fifty thousand grains.
"Immediately prepare a carriage and go to Xu Mansion, and order someone to inform Gongzi Jia of this matter!"
Zhao Qiu took the maid and walked out of the room.
"As you command!"
The woman holding the sword bowed her hands to Zhao Qiu and then left the room with Zhao Qiu.
An hour later.
In Gongzijia's mansion, Gongzijia was sleeping soundly on the bed because of the banquet, and Gongzijia's wife Yu was also sleeping.
Because Bai Yan's sudden increase of 20,000 shi of grain and millet, Master Jia drank freely at the banquet, so he became drunk very early and fell unconscious.
Fortunately, the Yu family was born in a good family. After marrying Gongzi Jia, she had always managed the family well. Therefore, after Gongzi Jia got drunk, he took care of the guests and left in an orderly manner.
"Master!"
"Master!!"
"Master!"
Outside the room, the shouts of the attendants and the gentle knocking on the door did not wake up Gongzi Jia.
However, Mr. Yu slowly woke up.
Hearing the anxious sounds of the servants outside, Mr. Yu was awakened. Although he frowned slightly, he immediately knew that if nothing happened, the servants would never dare to disturb him in the middle of the night.
Under candlelight.
Mrs. Yu stood up, walked carefully over Gongzi Jia's body, got out of bed and dressed, and came to the door after a while.
"What's the matter?"
Mrs. Yu opened the door with one hand and held the untied clothes in the other. She looked at the servant and asked.
"Madam, something happened! News came from Bei City. Princess Zhao Qiu also ordered people to come to the mansion. It was said that after Xu Junzi left here, he was ambushed by more than ten men in black. The men in black smeared poison on the sharp blade. Inside the mansion
The followers who sent Mr. Xu off were all killed. Mr. Xu was very skilled in martial arts, but he was also wounded by a sword!"
The leader of the retinue looked at Mr. Yu, raised his hands and said.
At this moment, whether it was this guard or the other three guards behind him, they all felt their necks light up, and they were the ones who almost died.
Fortunately, the four of them were escorting other scholars back home, not Mr. Xu.
"What?"
When Mrs. Yu heard the news that Bai Yan was ambushed, her face changed drastically and turned extremely pale in an instant.
Having been married to Gongzi Jia for more than ten years, she naturally knew about the grain and millet matter, as well as the fact that Xu Zixiao had gained another 20,000 grain millet today.
"Go and prepare the carriage at once!"
After the pale-faced Mrs. Yu finished her instructions, she turned around and returned to the room.
After trying to shake Zhao Jia several times but failing to wake him up, Yu had no choice but to give up, put on her clothes and left the room.
Under the night.
Mrs. Yu took a carriage and came to Xu Mansion with her husband.
With the maid waiting on her, Ms. Yu stepped out of the carriage and looked at several carriages parked outside the mansion.
At this moment, Yu's heart was full of uneasiness.
Outside the Xu family's residence, seven or eight men holding swords looked around cautiously.
After revealing her identity and purpose of visit, Mrs. Yu entered the mansion with her maid under the leadership of the gatekeeper.
Go all the way to the room in the mansion.
As soon as Mrs. Yu stepped into the room, she saw Zhao Qiu, Qu Yi, and the Wu siblings already in the room.
Under several candle lights.
An old doctor knelt by the window and kept taking the pulse of Xu Zixiao who was lying on the bed.
"Qiu, how are you?"
Mrs. Yu looked at this scene and asked with worry in her eyes.
At this moment, her husband is drunk and unconscious, and the person she trusts the most is Zhao Qiu.
Looking at Xu Zixiao who was pale and sweating on the bed, Yu was breathing rapidly and clenched her delicate hands tightly under her silk clothes.
Zhao Qiu looked at Mrs. Yu but had not yet spoken.
At this time, the old doctor, who had taken his pulse and made observations, slowly stood up.
"Princess, this poison is a secret poison!"
The old doctor cupped his hands and said to Zhao Qiu.
The voice fell.
Wu Yun on the side suddenly turned extremely pale and looked at the old doctor blankly.
Wu Gao also shook his head and looked at Bai Yan worriedly.
inside the room.
Under the watchful eyes of Mr. Yu and Zhao Qiu, the old doctor then said that the poison that this gentleman was poisoned by was a secret poison that was very powerful. Except for the person who made the poison, it would be difficult for others to have a way to detoxify it.
Just now he put a small amount of medicine on the wound. Not only was the poison in the wound not cured, but it actually worsened.
At the moment, he doesn't dare to use medicine easily, otherwise this gentleman may die by his hands.
The second day.
As dawn rose, when Gongzijia woke up from his sleep, the scorching sun outside the window had already shot into the floor of the room.
Gongzijia turned over and had a comfortable sleep. The alcohol had completely dissipated, but his head hurt a little.
"Someone is coming!"
Gongzijia shouted.
After the words fell, the door opened and a sword-wielding guard entered the room.
"Master!"
The attendants bowed their hands to Master Jia in salute.
On the bedside, Gongzijia opened his eyes, turned his head in a daze, and looked at the sword-wielding guard.
What's going on? Where is the maid?
Why did an attendant come in, holding a sword?
"What's going on? Who asked you to guard the door?"
Young Master Jia frowned. Apart from having a headache, what he disliked the most was the attendant guarding the door with a sword.
Since his younger brother moved to the throne, he has been very taboo with his subordinates holding swords outside the door while sleeping.
This will give him a feeling of being under house arrest.
"Back to the young master, my wife ordered me to guard the door!"
The retinue replied with his hands in hand.
"Why does Madam ask you to guard the door?"
Gongzijia was very surprised when he heard that it was his wife Yu. His wife knew his likes and dislikes very well. How could she not understand that he was taboo about these things?
Why did his wife ask the servants to guard the door even though she knew he didn't like it?
"Back to the young master, news came last night. Princess Zhao Qiu also ordered people to come over. She said that Junzi Xu was assassinated by an assassin on his way back to the house. The assassin's sword was smeared with poison, and all his followers died. Although Junzi Xu fought off the assassin, he was also injured.
Leave."
The retinue informed Young Master Jia of what happened last night.
The voice fell.
I saw Gongzi Jia slowly opening his eyes, full of disbelief.
At this moment, Gongzijia's mind went blank. He thought of Xu Zixiao being assassinated last night, and thought of smearing poison on the sword blade at this moment.
"Not good! Zixiao."
Gongzijia shook his head, and after regaining consciousness, he quickly stood up, hurriedly picked up his clothes and put them on, without bothering to dress up his hair, and hurriedly left the room.
