Ziwu's soul-breaking fragrance, the world's strange poison?

To give a child a strange poison? Is this a long time to live, or is that person living on the dog's belly?

"That's right!" Seeing Wang Li's puzzled eyes, Qian Yi nodded firmly and said, "When I was walking in the world in the past, I met a strange man in Xuzhou. I talked about the strange poisons in the world, and I couldn't sleep at night. The strange man once mentioned the ten major poisons in the world. Ziwu's soul-breaking fragrance is the tenth, which was made of wolf spiders, centipedes, mandalas and heartbreaking herbs. The medicine has its own fragrance, and the poisoned persons all attacked at the time of the attack. When the attack occurred, his whole body twitched and panicked. Others called him as if he had lost his soul. Therefore, it was called Ziwu's soul-breaking fragrance."

"Brother Qian, can Ning'er still be cured?" Mr. Jia looked at Qian Yi hopefully and asked anxiously.

Qian Yi nodded and said, "I had a great time talking to the strange man back then, so I was given several antidotes by him, and the antidote to the Ziwu Soul-Breaking Incense is in it."

Mr. Jia, Jia He and Jia Zhong were first very happy, then showed sadness, anger and pain. Mr. Jia even beat his chest and stamped his feet, and cried, "If I had known that Mr. Qian could cure my Ning'er, how could An'er die without mercy?"

Wang Li helped Mr. Jia up and said, "Old Jia, I know that Jia Zhong is not the real murderer. Jia Zhong and you should be both insiders. Tell me!"

Mr. Jia couldn't hide his sadness and anger on his face. He took the tea handed over by Jia Zhong and took a sip of it, and said slowly: "About ten days ago, An'er came back from the county government. During the meal, I saw that he still had anger on his face. I was relieved by him. However, An'er told me that he had discovered the salt, iron and currency affairs in the county. The number gap in the past few months was very large, so he planned to report to the county magistrate for a thorough investigation. Unexpectedly, the deputy commander of the military commander Wan Jian asked him not to report it for the time being, and he would wait for it to be dealt with again."

"The deputy commander of the military commander Wan Jian was a friend of An'er when he entered school, and he is also in the county administration. Therefore, I also advised An'er to calm down the situation. The salt and iron may be squandered by Wan Jian. Since Wan Jian also proposed to relieve himself for a few days, why should he offend his classmates and colleagues because of a few days? Let's wait for a few days to be lenient and let him make up for it."

"I did good deeds all my life, but I didn't expect that it was this difference in thought that it hurt my An'er and almost hurt my Ning'er." Old Master Jia showed regret on his face, and then said, "After another three or five days, Wan Jian and An'er returned to my Jia Mansion together. As a result, they drank a lot of wine in the study that night, and they also chatted a lot. It was not until dawn that Wan Jian left. Later, An'er told me that Wan Jian accidentally let out the words, and he had already joined the Taiping Sect, and the salt and iron currency stolen by Wan Jian had been handed over to the Taiping Sect, and Wan Jian could no longer fill the gap."

Taiping Cult?

Wang Li was shocked: Taiping Cult? Is it the Taiping Taoist created by Zhang Jiao? The famous Taiping Taoist in history that shouted "Good luck in the world"?

But I heard Mr. Jia continue to say: "The Taiping Cult was created by Zhang Jiao, Julu County, this prefecture, and worshipped Huang-Lao's art. A few years ago, countless living people were ceasing disasters and preaching in Jizhou, Xuzhou, Yanzhou and other places. It is a living Bodhisattva in the eyes of the world. How could he instigate others to steal official iron and silver?"

It’s indeed Taiping Road!

Wang Li was stunned. If the Taiping Sect was really a peaceful way, it would be very likely that the old man would say it. Now it is the sixth year of Guanghe. Next year is the famous Jiazi year in history. Zhang Jiao will raise his arms in Jizhou by then. Respondents from the 28 counties of the Great Han Dynasty gathered. If there are no weapons, how can salt, iron, and currency and military salaries be achieved? How can we build our own army?

"Although I don't believe that this is done by Taiping Cult, but think about Zhangjiao's founding of the church for more than ten years, and its churches are spread across the states, so I'm afraid there will be hundreds of thousands of them? Therefore, I dare not let An'er publicize it. But An'er said: "It's a matter of eating the king and loyalty to the king. Regardless of our dissuasion, I wrote a few pages in private, saying that I would wait a few days later and hand it over to the county magistrate."

Yes, a few days ago, the businessman from Ming Gong went to Jizhou was not in the county. It seems that Jia An should have noticed that there were many officials involved in the county and was afraid that the matter would be leaked, so he did not dare to hand it over to the county chief. Wang Li nodded and asked, "Where is the paper? I'm still safe now.

exist?"

"Jia Zhong, you should tell the master." Mr. Jia gestured to Jia Zhong. After Jia Zhong bowed to Mr. Jia, he explained, "My lord, this Jia Zhong was rescued from the snow when I went to Liaodong for more than ten years to do business. Although I was a Hu man, I knew poetry and books, knew accounts, and were always loyal. Therefore, I have always handed over the Jia family to Jia Zhong for management with confidence. Even if An'er sometimes couldn't decide, he would consult Jia Zhong for discussion."

Wang Li nodded without comment, but heard Jia Zhong say, "After Wan Jian left that day, the young master locked himself in the study and worked hard for a whole day. He only handed two pieces of paper to the servant in the evening, so that the servant could take good care of him. Even if he lost his life, he would ensure that this thing did not fall into the hands of others."

After saying that, Jia Zhong took off his boots, took out a dagger from his body, pried open the soles of the shoes, and broke them with his hands, leaving the soles of the shoes and the body of the shoes, and there was a piece of silk hidden on the soles.

"The contents on the paper are copied on this silk and burned them." Jia Zhong handed the silk to Wang Li, and then said, "The young master later reorganized another copy, and then hid it in a book "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic", and moved the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" from the bookshelf to the secret grid. He ordered the servant and Xiao He to strictly guard the study room, and no one except the head of the family and the young master are allowed to enter and exit the study room."

It turns out that the "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" lost on the bookshelf and in the secret lattice is a salt and iron account copied by Jia An!

Wang Li took the silk and looked carefully. He found that the silk recorded all the salt and iron currency accounts of Jin Cao over the past year, including the two items of salt and iron that were deficient in one hundred and twenty stones and four hundred stones respectively. The date of the deficit occurred was the escort and guarding of Wan Jian.

"Han Shu? Luli Zhi 1" once recorded that thirty kilograms are one jin and four jin is one stone. That is to say, one stone is equal to one hundred and twenty kilograms, which is about the current 60 kilograms and thirty kilograms.

One hundred and twenty stones of salt, that is, 7,200 kilograms, according to the purification of the Han Dynasty, the average person consumes 10 grams of salt per day. One hundred and twenty stones of salt can be consumed for at least 720,000 people a day, or 20,000 people can eat it for more than one month. Four hundred stones of iron can make about five-pound weapons weighing about 5,000.

It's indeed shocking!

Wang Li's heart sank and signaled Jia Zhong to continue speaking.

"A day later, Wan Jian came to my Jia Mansion again. As a result, the young master and he had a big fuss with him in the study. It was not until the evening that Wan Jian came out. Before leaving, he spoke to the young master not to regret it!"

Jia Zhong pondered for a moment and continued, "Because Wan Jian has made friends with the young master and even friends, the little master is also very familiar with Wan Jian. When Wan Jian first came that morning, he reported to the little master. Now I think that the little master may have been poisoned by the ten thousand sword thief at that time. On that day, the little master began to have poisonous effects. We all thought that this was just the little master who was sick and was not seriously injured. So we went to Wei County the next day and asked the doctor Zhang Sandou to treat the little master, but there was no way to do this three dose."

Zhang Sandou is a famous doctor from Wei County. It is said that no matter what the disease is, as long as the patient is still awake, he will definitely recover within three doses. What is even more rare is that Zhang Chen often treats the patients, coachmen and hawkers who cannot afford medical expenses for free, and countless living people are alive. Therefore, the whole city is respected as Zhang Sandou.

Zhang San's dose is indeed a famous doctor, but this is a poison that ranks among the top ten toxic poisons. If the doctor is not right, Zhang San's dose will naturally have no choice.

Wang Li thought for a moment and then asked, "What about later?"

"We found several more famous doctors, but found that there was no good solution. The little master's symptoms were getting worse. Except for the young lady and the wet nurse, they no longer knew others, and they became more and more dull." Jia Zhong said sadly, "Last night, the little master fell ill again. The servant accompanied the young lady to find the young master. As a result, he found that the young master had died tragically in the study. The "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" in the secret grid was gone, but there was a note in the secret grid."

Jia He stood up, took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Wang Li, and saw that it suddenly read:

Ning'er's life is all in your thoughts!

"The young lady saw the young master's misery

The priest had collapsed to the ground, and the servant had no choice but to report to the head of the family, and the master decided to take it. The master guessed that the young master's death should be related to Wan Jian and even the Taiping Sect, and the young master was a court official from the Jin Cao in Wei County, and would inevitably alarm the court to send someone to check it out. The master wanted to protect the young master, but he did not want the young master to die in an unknown way. Therefore, on the one hand, he ordered the villain to go to Xiaohe to set up a cigarette. On the other hand, he asked the villain to hide the paper and silk book in the insole and pretended to be poisoned by the young master, and at the same time took the opportunity to spread the hatred between the servant and Xiaohe girl in front of everyone."

"Then what about this piece of paper?" Wang Li put away the note handed over by Jia He, took out the note with the words "Nine Chapters of Arithmetic" from his arms and threw it over, asking.

Jia Zhong picked up the note, looked at Xiaohe apologetically and said, "I originally thought that if I met a foolish and incompetent person, Miss Xiaohe would commit the crime for the real murderer and could use this to protect the little master. If I met a man of a middle-aged person, I would be a Hu person, but I would be a 'framed' for kindness', then the servant would come to the court with a testimony and determine whether the servant would present this certificate in the lobby of the yamen according to the safety of the young master. As for the note in the hands of the adult, it was stored here by the servant. I thought that if God opened his eyes, my Jia family would meet an official like the adult, and the young master's grievances might be able to be fulfilled!"

Wang Li nodded, looked at Mr. Jia and Jia Zhong, and asked, "What if the Ten Thousand Swords use the power of the Taiping Sect to destroy the Jia family?"

Jia Zhong smiled bitterly and said, "The so-called plan is up to people, and the accomplishment is up to heaven. When it comes to that point, it can only be left to fate. I am thankful to the master's life, and I am a distant niece and wife, and I will go through fire and water. Besides, even if the whole family of my Jia family is destroyed, I may find a little chance because I am a Hu person and have a grudge against Xiaohe and the master of my family. I will never let my Jia family fall into the sea. But I don't want to meet an adult to see through the things I plan to do with my family."

People who are righteous are often slaughtering dogs, and those who are unfaithful are scholars!

Wang Li nodded. Although Jia Zhong was a Hu man, he was a righteous man like Zhu Hai and Hou Ying during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. This method was not advisable, especially Xiao He's injustice may have killed innocently, but he was helpless to protect himself.

Looking outside the door, the setting sun was shining, the afterglow was shining, and the sky gradually became dark. Wang Li pulled out his sword and shouted solemnly: "Brothers, please obey the order!"

"No!" The guards were carrying their hands, with steel knives on their waists, and stood neatly in front of them.

"Qian Yi, Tang Qing, Zhu Tong!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

"You wait for the three of you to temporarily stay in the Jia Mansion, protect the people in the Jia Mansion, and start to treat Jia Ning, so there must be no mistakes!"

"No!" Qian Yi and the other two went out and shouted with their fists.

"Sun Cai, Zhou Kang, Zhao Wu, Liu Qi!"

"I'm in a humble position!"

"You wait for the four of you to return to the city with me and go to the Military Equipment Preparation Department to capture the murderer Wan Jian, and there must be no mistakes!"

"No!" The four of them clasped their fists and walked out of the door with Wang Li. They all rolled over and ran towards Yecheng.

...

It was not close to the distance of more than ten miles, but as everyone rushed, they still rushed to the city gate before they fell.

The setting sun in the sky is like blood, and the dusk is getting bigger. The fish-like clouds are stained with crimson rosy hanging in the sky, like knitted down, and like cotton candies embedded in the sky.

The sunset is extremely beautiful, but it is almost dusk. When the Han Dynasty was strong, Huo Piqiu sealed the wolf and Juxu, Dou Guanjun tied the stone Yanran, which made the Huns cry, "Lost my Qilian Mountains, so that my animals will not be prosperous, and my Yanzhi Mountains, so that my women will be colorless." Did you ever think that the Han Dynasty was like the sunset in the sky, and the rivers were already setting and the sun was falling, and the sun was falling in the west?

Under the gate of Zhuma City, Wang Li looked back and saw the mountains, woods and villages in the distance, gradually submerged in the darkness.
