"Yes, Five Stone Powder, the young master has taken it." Liu Zhong responded immediately, feeling puzzled as to why the young master Liu Qi wanted the poison. Then he suddenly became frightened, wondering if he could commit suicide by taking the poison.
"Wushi Powder doesn't work, it's a chronic drug at best. Do you have Hedinghong?" Due to the urgent situation, Liu Qi casually asked the name of the poison.
"Hedinghong is an illegal and highly toxic drug, which has never been found in the government." Liu Zhong was even more surprised. Does Hedinghong exist just because it is said to exist? If it is hidden carelessly, anyone who touches it will die.
In fact, Liu Qi couldn't figure out what kind of poisons were available during the Three Kingdoms period, so he just casually mentioned "Hedinghong".
Among the poisons Liu Qi knows, arsenic is probably the most toxic. However, in the Three Kingdoms, arsenic is not called arsenic. It seems to have another name: Hedinghong. Liu Qi seems to have seen this word in a certain classical martial arts novel. Remember Heding.
The reason for the red color is that this poison is quite poetic. The contrast between the name and image is too great, just like a rose with thorns, a dancer in shackles, or poisonous perfume, which leaves a deep impression on people.
"There are no strong poisons, there are always other poisons that are slightly faster." Liu Qi was a little disappointed.
"No. Young Master, are you—?" Liu Zhong was full of doubts. Liu Qi was so anxious to get the poison that he might have to commit suicide by taking poison.
"How can there be no poison? For example, there are always poisonous rats?" Liu Qi turned a deaf ear to Liu Zhong's question and immediately reminded Liu Zhong about the various possible sources of poison.
Shuo Shu is a field mouse, now called a mouse. Liu Qi meant whether there was rat poison or not, but he changed the name of mouse to Shuo Shu. Liu Qi had some considerations.
Rat is just the current name. Ancient people may not be able to understand the word "rat", but Shuo Rat can certainly understand it, because as early as three thousand years ago, the Western Zhou Dynasty, which was more than a thousand years earlier than the Three Kingdoms, produced a
"The Book of Songs" is China's earliest collection of poems, and Gao Qiang learned a famous poem "Shuo Mouse" in the Book of Songs in the compulsory middle school course of the Youth Military Academy: "Shuo Mouse, Shuo Mouse, has no food for me! When you are three years old, I will not eat you."
I am willing to take care of...
Since the Book of Songs three thousand years ago specifically mentioned rats, Liu Qi believed that in the Three Kingdoms where the plague was prevalent and the sanitary conditions were extremely poor, there should be a lot of rats, locusts, etc., and some poisonous rat poisons and cockroach poisons were necessary for the household.
It is also normal to use similar biological drugs. Then, Liu Qi, the eldest son of Jingzhou Governor Liu Biao, would definitely not let rats run rampant in his house.
"There is a cure for this poisonous rat." Liu Zhong's answer was really guessed by Liu Qi.
"Go and get it, quickly." Liu Qi ordered Liu Zhong, and then called the old maids: "Mother Chen, go to the door of the house and cry bitterly, just cry without answering, and just block the lord for a moment."
"Yes, Master." Chen's mothers staggered towards the door of the house, not knowing the meaning of Liu Qi's words. They didn't need to know too much, they just had to follow what he did.
In just six snaps of his fingers, Liu Zhong took out the rat poison tightly wrapped in yellow silk cloth at a sprint speed of 100 meters.
Liu Qi took the rat poison, untied the yellow silk, and whispered something like this to Liu Zhong. Liu Zhong frowned and couldn't even say anything, but at this time, he could already hear the sound of cars and horses stopping, and mixed with the noise.
The mothers cried heartbrokenly, and Liu Biao and Cai Hao, who came to visit Liu Qi's condition, were about to enter the house.
"Butler, it's too late, just do it." Liu Qi couldn't help but said, and took a handful of it on the yellow silk cloth. Suddenly, he had an idea. Feeling that he was afraid that the potion was not strong enough and the secret would be exposed, he took a few more pinches and wrinkled deeply.
Eyebrow, I am very worried. I don’t know if the rat poison from the Three Kingdoms is very toxic? I wonder if the poison-forcing technique of Qigong that I was proficient in during my lifetime can force out the rat poison from the Three Kingdoms in ancient times?
The crying in front of the house was so loud that Mother Chen couldn't hold it back for much longer. If she hesitated any longer, if Cai Hao found out that Liu Qi was in the courtyard of the house, she would be in trouble. It was a blessing, not a curse. It was a curse that could not be avoided. Liu Qi thought about hope.
Rat poison kills only rats, not humans.
The situation was urgent and Liu Qi was not allowed to think too much. Liu Qi let out a long sigh and quickly swallowed the rat poison in his hand. He prayed for God's blessing while walking and walked into the bedroom calmly without squinting.
Seeing Liu Qi swallowing rat poison with his own eyes, Liu Zhong was so shocked that his face was ashen and he hurriedly ordered the little girl: "Huan'er, deliver a pottery cup of water and a copper basin to serve the young master. Hurry, hurry, hurry up."
Huan'er ran into the kitchen as if she was dead. Master Liu Qi swallowed the rat poison himself, which shocked the young Huan'er so much that he could hold eggs in his mouth. It was like a nightmare.
Seeing Huan'er running away, Liu Zhong looked outside the noisy mansion. In addition to Chen's mother and a few maids crying like dead parents, he could also vaguely hear Cai Mao shouting in a rough voice, "Why are you blocking Dao'er?"
, howl of mourning."
Liu Zhong chuckled, these Chen Ma and the maids were really smart. Liu Biao, his brother-in-law who was soft-hearted and couldn't hear women crying, was crying outside the house. He would personally support and ask, so they could delay some time. Cai Hao couldn't rush in.
Not thinking about this anymore, Liu Zhong knelt down and followed Liu Qi's instructions. He sprinkled all the remaining rat poison powder on the nearly dry paste-like liquid food, and then pointed his long sword at Da Ya, who was still bleeding slightly.
Huan Amei wiped her chest and shook out the yellow silk cloth. When everything was ready, Liu Biao, Cai Hao and a dozen guards filed in, together with the old and young maids who were crying with tears in their eyes.
After Liu Zhong finished all this, he saw the unshaven Cai Hao and sneered twice. Thinking of the young master Liu Qi who had swallowed rat poison and whose life or death was uncertain, he felt extremely worried and wanted to eat Cai Hao alive. He secretly thought that he must act like a villain for Liu Qi's sake.
The drama of complaining first.
When Liu Biao and Cai Hao entered the courtyard of the courtyard from outside the house, they were both shocked and horrified by the horrific scene of the corpses of four women.
When Cai Mao saw his blood pressure rising, he glared at Liu Zhong angrily and wanted to draw his sword to kill Liu Zhong. However, he saw Liu Zhong kneeling in front of Liu Biao with a plop before Cai Mao. He presented the bloody sword to Liu Biao and burst into tears: "My Lord,
, I have poisoned the young master, and I have been furious to kill him. The young master was poisoned and his life is in danger. If anything happens to him, I am willing to go with him."
Liu Qi knew from history books that Liu Biao was content with Jingxiang and had no intention of dominating the world. He had always been soft-hearted and vain, so he would never intend to kill his wife's cousin Liu Zhong.
When Liu Biao heard from Liu Zhong that Liu Qi was poisoned and did not know whether he was alive or dead, Liu Biao immediately panicked and ignored Liu Zhong's angry killing of the maid. Cai Mao was justified in being jealous of Liu Zhong's words and deeds. Liu Qi concluded that Cai Mao, who was at fault, would be punished by Liu Biao.
It was impossible to kill Liu Zhong in the eldest son's house.
Based on the above analysis, Liu Qi's plan was sure to defeat Cai Hao, and even if Cai Hao endured the stomachache, he still had to swallow the bitter consequences of the four maids' deaths and the plot of Liu's family.
"Nonsense. Although Sibei has no identity, she comes from a country girl with simple folk customs. She has a reputation for respecting her master and being filial. How could she poison the young master like this? You clearly can't tolerate Sibei's excuse to kill him.
Guilty." Cai Hao angrily scolded Liu Zhong and was confused. Hearing that the maid came yesterday to report that Liu Qi fell from a horse and slept for seven days and woke up unexpectedly and survived the catastrophe. Cai Hao rushed over and was curious, so he greeted Liu Biao early and invited his companions to visit.
, I didn’t want something like this to happen.
Liu Zhong was so bold and reckless that he even dared to kill the maid given to me by General Cai. This was really intolerable and unbearable. Cai Hao was so angry when he saw Liu Zhong that he gnashed his teeth.
"Because he had no reputation and no status, the fourth servant invited him to compete for favor in front of the young master. Because the young master was ill for a long time and could not compete for favor, the fourth servant became murderous and wanted to poison the young master to make money. As expected, the incident happened this morning. The young master has been bitched.
The old slave killed her in a rage." Liu Zhong was so moved that he cried until his liver and gallbladder broke. Anyway, the maid was dead and there was no evidence of her death. She could say whatever she wanted. Cai Mao was so angry that she was irresponsible.
"You, you, you, a bold slave, arrogant and slanderous, murdered a good woman in broad daylight, I want to kill, kill... If I can't kill you, I will sue the government to investigate the case and arrest her." Cai Mao half-drew his sword, but was speechless and stunned.
At this time, Liu Biao saw Cai Mao drawing his sword and quickly blocked Cai Mao. He stepped forward to help Liu Zhong up and declared Liu Zhong innocent: "There is no justice in heaven. How dare a maid do this? She has the most poisonous heart of a woman. Butler, follow me quickly."
Visiting the young master, I hope nothing happens to the young master."
Liu Biao didn't care what Cai Mao's expression and thoughts were. He was used to being stepped on by Cai Mao to vent his anger. At this time, Liu Zhong killed the people around Cai Mao, and he felt relieved. If Cai Mao had killed his son's housekeeper in his son's house
, don’t you want the world to laugh at you? Liu Biao has become a piece of shit, how can he establish his prestige in the seven counties of Jingxiang?
When Cai Mao saw Liu Biao helping Liu Zhong up and walking hand in hand, they were as close as brothers, Cai Mao felt as if he had eaten a dead mouse.
Cai Mao was so angry that he forgot that Liu Zhong was originally the cousin of Liu Biao's wife. What does it mean to be as close as brothers? They should be like brothers.
On the one hand, Liu Biao was secretly glad that Liu Zhong had killed Cai Mao's maid, but on the other hand, he was worried about the life of his eldest son Liu Qi. He was so anxious that he walked too fast and tripped over the indoor threshold. If Liu Zhong hadn't caught him in time,
Almost fell.
When everyone entered the house, they saw broken pottery cups on the ground and a pile of vomited filth in front of the bed. They also saw Huan'er holding a copper basin and crying in tears. They also saw Liu Qi lying on the bed, vomiting and vomiting, and his back a little.
It was ups and downs, and there seemed to be a faint breath. One glance showed that Liu Qi was dying.
Liu Zhong saw Liu Qi swallowing rat poison with his own eyes. Seeing Liu Qi in such a state, Liu Zhong was filled with regret and his heart was as sharp as a knife. He really shouldn't have listened to the young master's advice. The young master Liu Qi clearly told him that he had swallowed rat poison and faked his death to deceive Cai Mao.
Yes, I didn’t expect that the young master would really swallow him, and he would die in exchange for the old slave’s life.
Liu Zhong thought deeply that Liu Qi had lied to him about swallowing rat poison and risking his life to save himself. Liu Zhong had mixed feelings in his heart and shouted: "Sister, brother, I can't help you." He couldn't hold back his breath.
Passed out.
Liu Zhong fainted, and Liu Qi was still alive and dead on the bed. Now Liu Biao couldn't calm down, and was so shocked that he lost his mind.
Cai Mao was also dumbfounded. All the scenes in front of him didn't look like acting. Could it be that four maids really poisoned Liu Qi?
"Quickly, hurry up and ask for the imperial doctor." Liu Biao choked with sobs, tears streaming down his face. He touched Liu Qi's somewhat cold hands, his eyes were dull, and he kept chanting: "Qier, Qier, you can't die.
Ah, you can't let my white-haired man give away his black-haired man, Jingzhou still needs you to take over."
Liu Biao muttered to himself in a hurry, revealing the secret in his heart. Cai Hao, who was looking at him coldly, was shocked. Sure enough, Liu Biao, an old man, wanted to pass on the throne to his eldest son. If that was the case, then his nephew Liu Cong would have no hope.
Then wouldn’t all my hard work over the past few years have been in vain? Why should my good Jingxiang family support a foreigner like Liu Biao? Isn’t it just to ensure that the blood of my Cai family can continue the Cai family in Jingxiang for generations to come?
Glory.
When Cai Mao was anxious, he heard Liu Biao talking to himself. He seemed to be crying and scolding Sang Huai and told Cai Mao: "Qi'er, wake up quickly. From now on, my father will fight for you and I will never let you be hurt again. Wake up soon."
Come on, as long as you wake up, from now on, if someone bullies you and tries to kill you, you will not be treated lightly as a father."
Liu Biao's words frightened Cai Hao. It seemed that Liu Biao was not a soft persimmon. If Liu Biao really wanted to openly confront Cai Hao, Cai Hao really didn't dare to fight Liu Biao at this time. After all, Liu Biao was the master of a Jing, and he was fighting against Jing.
Xiang has good relations with several major families headed by Pang, Xi, Huang and Kuai, especially the Kuai brothers Kuai Liang and Kuai Yue, but the Cai family has always been at odds with the Kuai family.
Cai Hao weighed the pros and cons, and regardless of whether Liu Qi lived or died, he was determined to hold back for a while to avoid angering Liu Biao. Looking at Liu Qi, who was deeply poisoned, breathless, and pale, lying on the bed like a corpse about to die, Cai Hao felt ten thousand curses in his heart.
Liu Qi died early.
If Liu Qi is not dead, he is afraid that trouble will happen again. It is all Liu Qi's fault. Cai Hao stares at Liu Qi whether he is dead or alive, wishing he could kill him with his sword.
