Chapter 182 Poisoning
In an inconspicuous and remote room, He Nuo, disguised as an old man, was arranging the medicine box, checking whether any medicinal materials needed to be purchased recently.Suddenly, he heard footsteps outside, he hurriedly hid the medicine box, and after realizing that the person who came in was Sima Xukong who was also disguised, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You are back, what news can you find? "

Taking off his heavy coat and throwing it aside, Sima Xukong said: "I found out that Xu Zizheng's camp is in front, but it must be well-guarded there, and it is not easy to sneak in. However, we I think the mirror should not be there. Who is Xu Shikang, can he tolerate a woman wandering around in the barracks? So I think all the female relatives should have other residences outside."

Nodding thoughtfully, He Nuo said, "It's quite possible. Let's split up tomorrow and see if we can find out some news."

"Alright."

"Uncle Sun, are you home?"

There was a sudden sound outside the door, causing the two of them to put their arms around the waist immediately, looking like an old man, and then said: "The door is not locked, just come in."

"So both of you are here. I saw that the doors and windows were closed tightly, so I thought you were all out."

Seeing the person coming, He Nuo said, "So it's Aunt Zhang, what's the matter?"

"Oh, it's like this. I was on the street just now and saw a notice posted, saying that Mr. Xu's house is recruiting doctors. As long as one patient can be cured, he will give a hundred gold! I think Your medical skills are also good, why don't you give it a try?"

When they heard about Mr. Xu's house, the eyes of both of them lit up a little.But He Nuo still touched his chin self-effacingly, waved the other hand and said, "This is all a low-level trick of mine, how can I treat a noble person, let's forget it."

"That's hard to say. I think your ability to treat people is very good. Our family's eldest treasure, how many people say that he has no cure, won't you recover as soon as you take action? If you want me to tell you, don't worry about it. If it doesn’t work, let’s give it a try. You won’t lose money anyway, so just watch the excitement and gain your horizons. I heard that many people have tried it. If you are selected, wouldn’t it be good to earn a hundred gold? Then you But live the life of a rich man!"

"This... I will discuss it with my brother."

"Okay, if you add up the sum again, I'm here to tell you that if you become prosperous in the future, don't forget about us fellow villagers!"

He Nuo got up and walked slowly to the door, watching the aunt leave, He Nuo turned around and said with a smile on his face: "It's really hard to find anywhere, it's so easy to come here! This news is so timely Already!"

"Yeah, I think with your strength, it must be an easy thing to sneak into Xu's residence."

Rubbing his nose proudly, He Nuo said happily: "That's natural, this time, just wait and see how we teach Xu Zizheng a lesson!"

Although the notice had been posted for three days, there was no doctor who could accurately diagnose what was wrong with Changsun Jingrong, and Changsun Jingrong had completely fallen into a coma with no knowledge of personnel, which made Xu Zizheng extremely anxious.

To this day, after the two stooped old men had diagnosed the eldest grandson Jingrong, they decently prescribed a secondary prescription, saying that he could be cured by diagnosis and treatment.

After hearing the news, Xu Zizheng hurriedly put aside his affairs in the military camp, and immediately went back to the mansion, asking the two people about the condition of his eldest grandson Jingrong.

He Nuo bent his body, his face was full of old wrinkles, and said in a trembling voice: "This girl's body is quite strong, but because of the poison, she vomited blood and developed rashes on her body. Just follow the prescription I have listed for ten days, and you will be cured."

"Poisoned?" Xu Zizheng became nervous all of a sudden, he stared at He Nuo and asked, "How could this happen? What kind of poison did she get?"

"This kind of poison is refined from a variety of poisonous plants, which can damage people's mind and body. However, this poison is a chronic poison, and there is no disease after taking it only once or twice. Only after a long period of time will it cause internal organs Lesions will develop, and they will slowly exhaust themselves and die. Moreover, the most sinister aspect of this poison is that it can damage people's appearance and cause skin ulceration."

"Damn it, who the hell wants to harm Jingrong!" Xu Zizheng thumped the table in front of him with a ferocious face.

"My lord, there's no need to get angry. While the toxicity is not deep now, you can still recover slowly."

Turning his eyes away and looking at He Nuo again, Xu Zizheng asked, "Are you sure you can cure her?"

"That's natural. If I don't have this, we won't come back to see the adults."

"Okay, as long as you can cure the mirror, let alone a hundred gold, I will reward you two hundred gold!"

The two old men who were hugging their waists seemed to tremble a little, and then they both knelt in front of Xu Zizheng, and kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

Xu Zizheng didn't pay attention to these two people, but was full of calculations, who was the murderer who hurt his eldest grandson Jingrong, and how to punish him after he was caught.

In order to find the real culprit, Xu Zizheng asked the housekeeper to search from room to room for possible poisons or raw materials that could be used to refine poisons.If any clues are found, no matter who they are, they must immediately report to themselves.

Knowing that he was going to search for things in the whole mansion, He Hong knew that something was wrong, and he must have invited an expert this time to find out the clues.However, she felt that even if it was found that her eldest grandson Jingrong was poisoned, so what, she had already dealt with all the clues, and no one could find out about herself, so she felt relieved, the whole day was the same as usual, and occasionally went to Look at the grandson Jingrong.

He Hong was really not reconciled to seeing the eldest grandson Jingrong's face recovering day by day.Originally, she was about to successfully get rid of her eldest grandson Jingrong, how could two people appear suddenly and save her life! ?Could it be that this woman really deserved to die?

"Girl, the smell of medicine in your room is strong. If you stay for a long time, you may have a headache."

Hearing the sudden voice, He Hong hurriedly turned around and looked warily at the unattractive old man behind him.Seeing that he was holding a bowl of decoction in his hand, He Hong understood the other party's identity, and said sadly, "I'm here to visit the patient, and this smell is not a problem. You... The doctor he cured?"

"I'm not," Sima Xukong said with a simple and honest smile, "I'm just here to help the doctor, as an odd job."

"Oh," smiled a little disappointed. He Hong originally wanted to get something out of the other party's mouth, but now it seemed hopeless.

But Sima Xukong wanted to extract some information from this woman, so he asked with a smile: "From the change in your expression, you should have a very good relationship with this girl."

"Yes, yes, I am the saddest when she fell ill." He Hong nodded hurriedly, and said with a slight lament, "Hey, okay, how did she get such a wicked disease?"

"That's not right. The girl is just out of danger now, and everything needs to be taken care of carefully. I just heard the doctor say that now is the most important time. You must not give the lady something that enriches the blood, otherwise, I'm afraid it will be too late." It took the lady's life!"

A look flashed across his eyes, He Hong said with a smile: "This needs to be explained to the people below. If they are not sensible and feed the girl something they shouldn't eat, it will be bad."

"Yes, I have already told my lord about this, and my lord will watch over it strictly."

With a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of his mouth, He Hong explained a few more words to let him take good care of him, and then left lightly.

Looking at He Hong's back, Sima Xukong snorted softly, thinking to himself how stupid it was to get this woman hooked so easily!
After nightfall, He Nuo and Sima Xukong were preparing to rest in an inconspicuous room in the Xu Mansion. After the lights were turned off, the two did not lie down to rest, but exchanged what they had heard today in low, inaudible voices. information.

He Nuo took the opportunity of seeing a doctor for the old lady, and injected some poison into her body by the way.Naturally, this poison will not kill people, but it is still very good to use it against others.

As for Sima Xukong, he discovered the real culprit who murdered Changsun Jingrong, so he naturally planned a good show and waited for the other party to jump into this trap by himself.

He Nuo also knew Sima Xukong's concern for his eldest grandson Jingrong, so every time he cooked the soup, he asked Sima Xukong to feed it to his eldest grandson Jingrong himself. He only said that there was his own unique medicine in it. It cannot be disclosed externally.Everyone saw that Sima Xukong was just an old man with an unattractive appearance, so they didn't guard against him and let him go.

When there are only two people left in the room, Sima Xukong will gently hold the hand of the eldest grandson Jingrong, and whisper in her ear, talking about the past between the two of them, hoping to use this to make people feel better. Changsun Jingrong woke up earlier, and even when she was awake, she could see herself immediately.

Because of the blows she had experienced, her eldest grandson Wanyue's body had only recovered a little in the past few days, and after regaining some energy, she came to visit her eldest grandson Jingrong.But when she walked to the door, she heard a thin murmur. After listening carefully, she still felt a little familiar.

"Who's outside!?"

Being scolded abruptly, Changsun Wanyue jumped, then stood there in a panic, watching an ugly old man walk in front of her, and said awkwardly: "I...I..."

Of course Sima Xukong knew who the eldest grandson Wanyue was, he deliberately said viciously: "Don't you know that you can't be disturbed when you are feeding the medicine?"

"I... I just came to see my sister and see if she is better."

However, Sima Xukong ignored the president Sun Wanyue's explanation, and still asked fiercely: "You know that you can't be disturbed when you are feeding the medicine, but you still come at this time. You must have ulterior motives, saying, don't you?" I want to kill this girl!"

Such a serious crime made eldest grandson Wanyue's eyes turn red, and she said nonsense: "What nonsense are you talking about, she is my sister, how could I harm her!"

"Hmph, that's not sure, you rich people, what kind of blood and family relationship do you care about!"

"you……"

"What's going on, what's going on," He Nuo walked slowly from another direction, frowning and said, "Don't you know you can't disturb the patients!"

Sima Xukong stretched out his finger and pointed at the eldest grandson Wanyue, and accused loudly: "It's her, she must have evil intentions to make trouble when she knows she can't take the medicine and can't be disturbed!"

"It's not like this, I really came here by accident. How do I know when you are giving medicine!"

Seeing that these two people continued to argue, it would easily attract other people's attention, He Nuo also felt that it was time to let it go, so he said soothingly: "Okay, I don't think she is really malicious, so don't make things difficult for her." gone."

"Thank you." After hearing this, Changsun Wanyue didn't care to look at Changsun Jingrong, turned around and left in a hurry, as if she had really done something wrong.

Looking at the eldest grandson Wanyue with narrowed eyes, Sima Xukong fell silent.

Seeing his appearance, He Nuo hurriedly asked: "What's the matter, but what flaw did she find?"

"It's hard to say," Sima Xukong said calmly, "Just observe and observe."

On this day, the maidservants, as usual, took care of the eldest grandson Jingrong to wash up.But when she was wiping her cheeks, Changsun Jingrong moved slightly, and immediately after, a stream of blood flowed from the corner of her lips, and the servant girl was stunned at the moment, and ran out scrambling , Shouting wildly: "Oh my God, the girl is vomiting blood again! Come on!"

This roar aroused everyone's nerves. Some people were happy, some were worried, and some were just waiting to watch.

Before Xu Zizheng had time to leave the residence, he was furious when he heard the news, hurriedly called He Nuo, and asked, "Didn't you say that your condition has improved, why did it happen again?"

After carefully examining the pulse, He Nuo's face became very serious, and he said, "My lord, we can't cure this disease."

With his eyes slightly open, Xu Zizheng asked angrily, "What do you mean by that?"

"I clearly said that people can't give the patient blood-enriching food, but just now someone still fed her red dates and goji berry porridge. If this continues, not to mention that the patient can't be cured, it will also damage my reputation!" He Nuo made a gesture. As if he would rather die than give up, he said coldly, "We don't understand the schemes of you rich people, but don't lead innocent people like us into the trap!"

Xu Zizheng, who heard a little bit of knowledge, stopped He Nuo quickly, and asked again in disbelief, "You mean, someone deliberately gave Jing Rong red dates and goji berry porridge?"

"That's right, I've already said that no matter what the girl eats, she must get my permission. But now you feed the patients indiscriminately, and come to me to settle accounts if something goes wrong, so I have become a scapegoat?"

His complexion slowly darkened, and Xu Zizheng said angrily: "It seems that someone wants to assassinate Jingrong again. Damn, I have already calculated Jingrong once under my nose, and now I want to do it again. I really don't want to kill Jingrong. Put it in your eyes! Come on, go and check now, who has touched the girl's food?"

Seeing Xu Zizheng's ignorant look, He Nuo reminded him kindly: "If you keep searching like this, when will you find it? Maybe the real culprit has already run away."

Xu Zizheng noticed that there was something in He Nuo's words, so he hurriedly asked: "Then what can you do?"

"I do know a homemade recipe, you can try it," He Nuo said slowly, "The unique smell of red dates will attract ants, let the ants come and see, whoever has red dates on their hands will know. "

After hearing this, He Hong's complexion turned pale. At the same time, he wiped his fingers vigorously with a handkerchief, hoping to erase the damn smell.

"Come on, catch some ants now, and at the same time, no one here is allowed to leave. I want to see today, who is against me!"

He Hong's body became weaker and weaker, and she felt that she was about to be unable to hold on anymore.Her mind is in a mess now, and she is trying her best to think of a way to help herself get out.

But seeing the ants getting closer and closer to him, He Hong's face was as pale as paper, he put his hands behind his back, and refused to bring them to the front no matter what.

Seeing this, the little maidservant who was waiting for the test result couldn't help reminding: "Miss He, please stretch out your hand."

Lifting his jaw slightly, He Hong said aggressively: "My hand is broken, what if this dirty ant bites me?"

"But……"

Turning his eyes around, He Hong pinched his fingertips with all his strength, then raised his brows in front of the maid, and said displeasedly: "Look, look, it is indeed broken, what if the ants crawled on the wound and dirty your hands?" manage!"

The maid turned around with some embarrassment and looked in Xu Zizheng's direction.But Xu Zizheng was asking He Nuo about the condition of his eldest grandson Jingrong, so he didn't notice this.

Looking back at He Hong, the maid didn't know what to do.

"If you want me to tell you, you have to make sense of it. Is it possible that I can really be the murderer who murdered the girl? Everyone knows that I have the best relationship with her! You little girl wants to live comfortably in this mansion in the future. Rely on me, not the one in the bed, you know?"

The maidservant was also timid, so frightened, she leaned forward symbolically with the small plate containing the ants in her hand, and then said stiffly, "What the girl said is that in the future, I will rely on the girl." , the maid staggered her body and left in front of He Hong, planning to go to the next person.

But just as the maid moved her body, someone grabbed her wrist.

Seeing that it was that bad old man who spoiled him again, He Hong frowned immediately, wishing he could stare at him with his eyes.

Sima Xu looked at the ants on the plate calmly, and asked: "You little girl, why don't you follow the prince's arrangement, but why do you want to skip this girl?"

"I...I didn't. Just now I also put...the plate over there, nothing unusual."

Although Sima Xukong looked like a bad old man at the moment, his eyes were as sharp as eagles, and he stared at the maid, making her more and more nervous. In the end, he had no choice but to say: : "If... If you didn't see it, let's try again!"

"Why, didn't I already try it just now? Am I the one you can try whenever you want!" He Hong was convinced that he had a maid to help him speak, so he refused to agree no matter what.
