() "What kind of trouble is this?" Bai Sheng suddenly felt a little dizzy.
Bai Sheng was not only a member of Chao Gai, but also a member of Song Jiang.
Chao Gai arranged to monitor Hua Rong. According to Bai Sheng's estimation, it was just a formality. He didn't expect to witness such a thing early in the morning.
Bai Sheng could vaguely recognize that the big man in the lead was Wu Song, Ximen Qing's second brother.
And that young woman is Ximen Qing's concubine, named Xue'er.
Of course, the iconic hunchback of the scarred tiger and Liu hunchback could not escape Bai Sheng's eyes.
Inside the coffin is the boy who died yesterday? Why did these people carry the coffin and smash open the door of Hua's house so early in the morning?
"You two, immediately notify the leader of Song Dynasty and the military advisor." Bai Sheng whispered: "Others should not act rashly! Don't forget that our mission is to monitor!"
A soldier asked in a low voice: "Where is King Chao Tian?"
"We'll talk about it later. It's better not to inform the big boss about this kind of thing first." Bai Sheng frowned and said, "I don't know how the Ximen family decided that the murderer was Xiao Li Guanghuarong. It's better not to cause any deaths."
The two soldiers left quietly, and everyone else's attention immediately focused on the strange coffin-carrying team.
The shining plain knives are no joke.
Bai Sheng touched his head. Not sure whether it was because he was lying on the ground or for other reasons, he felt an inexplicable chill and huddled up.
Even if there was a river of blood from the killing inside, Bai Sheng was not going to come forward.
It's better to leave this kind of matter to Song Jiang and Wu Yong, and a little character like him should just watch the show obediently.
To be honest, Ximen Qing did not expect that the journey would be so smooth, with not even a single person in sight.
Although it is the last hour of the morning, those who should get up have already gotten up.
This power is mainly used to prevent obstacles encountered along the way, not to kill people.
So facing the young man from Hua Rong's family, Ximen Qing pushed his hat down and said, "Where is your master?"
There was such a big commotion just now, and it was indeed a bit of a shock.
Having someone break down the door with pure violence is something no one can bear as long as you are human.
If Hua Rong was really in the house, he would most likely rush out right now.
However, except for a few boys, Ximen Qing did not see Hua Rong.
In other words, Hua Rong had to hide on purpose, or there was no way to come out.
To Ximen Qing's surprise, the boy said angrily: "You ungrateful people! You smashed the door while the master was ill in bed! When I find the master's sworn brother, you will look good!"
After saying that, the boys split up and ran out to call for help.
"Falling sick?" Ximen Qing touched the thunder stone and coughed.
Liu Tuozi understood, and with a whistle, thirty soldiers dispersed, immediately blocking the way.
The young men of the Hua Rong family usually show some tricks, but how can they stand up to the blood-blowing soldiers armed with simple knives?
But in the blink of an eye, the young boys were pressed against their shoulders by the shining sword, and they were scared to death.
The heroic words just now disappeared without a trace.
Wu Song ordered the soldiers to close the two broken doors again and guard them.
"Don't let anyone go!"
Xue'er was also a little suspicious. She walked up to Ximen Qing and asked quietly: "Master, you think this is a bit strange. There is no sign of Hua Rong after making such a big noise. Could it be that he ran away?"
Ximen Qing shook his head slightly and said: "With Song Jiang as the backstage, it's not time to run away yet. Is it true that as the boy said, Hua Rong is already too sick to get out of bed?"
"There must be something fishy in this." Wu Song listened on the sidelines, turned around and brought a boy over and asked: "Tell me, why did Hua Rong suddenly become ill?"
The young boy was lifted by Wu Song's neck, thinking he was going to kill him. He was so frightened that his legs were weak: "Good man, my master passed out at the door when he came back from outside yesterday. My sworn brother and the military advisor have visited me several times."
"What are the symptoms?" Ximen Qing asked insinuatingly.
The boy thought for a moment and said, "The master said he has a severe headache, but there's nothing else except that his face is so black and blue that it's scary!"
After hearing this, Ximen Qing waved his hand and asked Wu Song to throw the boy aside. Then he pulled Wu Song and said, "Second brother, it sounds like Hua Rong has been poisoned!"
"Poisoned?" Wu Song was a little confused: "How could a good person be poisoned? Didn't he ambush us in the pavilion yesterday? It seemed normal at the time."
"Let's go! Take a look!" Ximen Qing stamped his feet and said, "I don't understand it after I explain it, but I will understand it after seeing it. It's just that there is something wrong with Hua Rong's poison."
Xueer recognized the house where Hua Rong lived and immediately led Wu Song and Ximen Qing there.
Tang Long and Liu Tuozi brought soldiers to stay and guard the boys, keeping vigilance.
The door to the house was also closed, but it was not bolted inside.
Although Hua Rong was very likely to be unable to get out of bed after being poisoned, Ximen Qing still very carefully pulled Xue'er to stand beside him, told Wu Song to step forward carefully alone, and gently opened the door.
There was no movement inside.
Ximen Qing, Wu Song, and Xue'er quietly walked in and saw that the candles on the table had long been burned to the end, and there was an indescribable smell in the air in the room.
Ximen Qing sniffed twice, and it seemed to be the smell of candles, but it was mixed with a somewhat sweet smell. Ximen Qing thought he knew the smell of some common poisons, but this was the first time he encountered this smell.
Seeing Ximen Qing's confused look, Wu Song shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's not that kind of fragrance."
Out of caution, Ximen Qing opened the door wide and the three of them walked inside. The curtain in front of the bed was drooped, and through the curtain they could see someone lying on the bed faintly.
Wu Song took out the steel knife in his hand and gently opened the curtain.
The strange smell in the tent became even stronger.
There was a large quilt on the bed covering it from the head to the end of the bed. There were bulges inside, obviously there was something there.
"not good!"
Ximen Qing's heart suddenly sank, and he didn't care much. He stepped forward and pulled open the quilt.
"Ah" Xue'er let out a half-scream and hurriedly covered her mouth and turned around.
No one can keep a quilt over his head, unless he is a dead person.
Under the quilt is Hua Rong, Hua Rong who has died long ago.
The complexion of his face was just like what the boy said just now, it was so green that it made people scared. No wonder Xueer ran away when she saw it.
Not only is it black and blue, but it's also a bit black.
The blood stains flowing out of the seven orifices were also dark and almost solidified.
"Sure enough, he was poisoned." Ximen Qing frowned, lifted Hua Rong's palm, and looked at the nails carefully.
The inside of the nails are also black.
The closer we get to Huarong, the stronger the strange, slightly sweet smell becomes.
I couldn't notice it until I was covered with a quilt, but once I lifted the quilt, the strong smell came out instantly.
The abdomen of Hua Rong's body was hard, his limbs were still warm, and there was no rigor mortis.
Based on the little knowledge Ximen Qing learned before traveling through time, it is estimated that Hua Rong was poisoned and died before dawn.
This strange, slightly sweet smell may be the smell of poison emitted through the blood after Hua Rong died.
Ximen Qing was not sure what kind of poison it was for a while, but Hua Rong ambushed him in the pavilion yesterday and passed out at his door, so Ximen Qing estimated that Hua Rong had been poisoned before ambushing him.
Maybe it's a slow poison.
Ximen Qing studied Western medicine before traveling through time and did not know enough about this kind of poison. If An Daoquan were here, he might be able to understand something about it.
Ximen Qing suddenly remembered that the medicine arrow Hua Rong used to shoot Chao Gai was also coated with poison. Could it be that it was Song Jiang and Wu Yong who poisoned Hua Rong?
Song Jiang, the fat man, is too cruel.
"Where's Yuerong? Where's Hua Yuerong?" Xue'er suddenly thought that she had not seen Hua Yuerong since she entered the courtyard.
Hua Rong died on the bed, so where did Hua Yuerong go?
"Xue'er, take people to search in other houses to see if you can find Hua Yuerong." Ximen Qing thought for a while and said: "The poison in Hua Rong seems to be a slow-acting poison, and it didn't take effect until yesterday."
Come on. If he hadn't died suddenly, Hua Rong might have told Hua Yuerong something."
Xue'er hurriedly went out to look for Hua Yuerong, and Wu Song also believed it: "I didn't expect that Song Jiang would act so viciously. Hua Rong was his adopted brother! I remember when I was drinking with Song Jiang at Chai Daguan Manor, why did I
I didn’t see his true colors!”
"If one person deliberately conceals the secret between people's hearts, it will be difficult for the other people to see through it." Ximen Qing seemed to have remembered something and sighed slightly.
"But why didn't Song Jiang save his sworn brother?" Wu Song then shook his head and said: "If it is really a slow poison, Song Jiang or Wu Yong must have the antidote. The boy just now said that the two of them were here last night!
"
Ximen Qing thought for a moment and said, "Because Hua Rong has been exposed. Yesterday, in desperation, I shouted out Hua Rong's name. There was no way he wouldn't hear it."
"Hua Rong would have never imagined that when he told Song Jiang about this matter, Song Jiang had already made a decision."
Wu Song listened to Ximen Qing's analysis and said with some horror: "That fellow Song Jiang is going to be silenced!"
"Ever since he poisoned Hua Rong, he has thought of this." Ximen Qing nodded and said: "But it seems that it is not entirely because he is afraid that Hua Rong's identity will be exposed. What worries Hua Rong is the marriage of his sister Hua Yuerong. Ever since
From this point of view, I'm afraid Song Jiang just wants to use more means to control Hua Rong."
"If there hadn't been that loud shout yesterday, Hua Rong might not have died. However, Hua Rong shot Xiao Tianqing to death with his own hands, so no matter what, Hua Rong's life was originally meant to repay Xiao Tianqing."
Ximen Qing said calmly, stretched out his hand to pull the quilt, and covered Hua Rong's body again: "With Hua Rong's death, I'm afraid it will be even more difficult to find evidence of Song Jiang's crime."
"If you still need any evidence of crime at this time, just kill them and take the heads of Song Jiang and Wu Yong!" Wu Song clenched his casserole-sized fists loudly: "These two steel knives in his hands have not been drunk for several days.
