A Clash of Gods - Chapter 245

[Chapter 244 Arrest]

Although Mrs. Tian is a businessman and likes money, she also follows the quality of businessmen keeping their promises. Qi Ning returned to Yongantang less than half an hour, and the ghost grass and spirit bones he needed were sent over.

The whole night, Yongantang was busy, decoction in the backyard, as long as the concoction was cooked, it was immediately sent to Tang Nuo’s detoxification room.

At the beginning, Tang Nuo listed a total of thirty or forty kinds of medicinal herbs. Just looking at the dense list of medicinal names made people dizzy.

These dozens of medicines are combined with each other. At most, there are thirteen and four herbs mixed together, and at least there are three or four herbs.

By dawn, most of the herbs had been crossed out from Tang Nuo’s list of herbs, and only sixteen or seven herbs were still being tested.

When the ugly time just passed, above the sky, the snow suddenly fell like a butterfly, bringing the unique flavor of this season.

The first snow came suddenly, and the snow flakes were not big and not dense, like catkins fluttering in the wind. As the cold wind drifted, the snow became denser and denser, and the snow flakes became bigger and bigger, like a big white net woven into it. , covering the earth in it, and when it was dawn, the snow was flying, and it was impossible to see from a distance.

When you open the door in the morning, the city is full of snow, the snow is flying, the clouds are light and the sun is cold.

Everyone could only set up a tent in the backyard to prevent the heavy snow from affecting the decoction.

Tang Nuo hadn’t closed his eyes for two days and two nights, and was exhausted, while Duan Canghai and others, like Qi Ning, hadn’t rested for a long time, and they all had bloodshot eyes.

It’s just that everyone knows that this small pharmacy is likely to be related to the life and death of thousands of people, so no one dares to slack off.

Tang Nuo obviously knew that everyone was very tired, so he asked everyone to go into the room and use a silver needle to pierce each of the two acupuncture points on the back of everyone’s head.

Duan Canghai knew that piercing these two acupoints would not cause any damage to the human body, but after being pierced by silver needles, everyone felt that their energy seemed to have recovered a lot. Although it was not as strong as when they were fully energetic, it was enough to reduce the fatigue. Little, I admire Tang Nuo’s superb medical skills even more.

Qi Ning has no medical skills, there are Tang Nuo and Doctor Song in the morgue, Qi Ning can’t get involved, and there are Zhao Wushang and others in the decoction juice, so there is no need to labor Qi Ning, the marquis.

Qi Ning and Duan Canghai took care of the logistics and prepared meals for everyone. Everyone also found some free time and hurriedly ate something to replenish their physical strength.

At noon, I saw Doctor Song coming out of the morgue with a look of joy on his face. Qi Ning could see clearly and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “Did you find a way?”

Doctor Song also seemed a little excited, but he still shook his head and said: “Master Hou, come on, come on, Miss Tang is really a magical power of medicine, she is really amazing, and she has found a way.” He shouted at the back: “Mandaris, Fengguzi, The ghost grass, the snake slough, and the Buddha Jiacao Rong each take a sum of money and put them together to boil the juice, the sooner the better!”

Qi Ning heard that among the five herbs, two of them were sent by Mrs. Tian, and asked, “Can the two herbs sent by the Tian family medicine shop be used?”

“I’m not sure yet.” Dr. Song said, “But it should be close.” He praised: “Ms. Tang is young, but she is very familiar with the medicinal properties of medicinal materials. I am ashamed.” He comforted: “Master Hou, Don’t worry, with Miss Tang here, I think in a few more hours, I’m afraid I can find a way.”

Qi Ning was also overjoyed, thinking to himself that there was a large group of experts from the Xinglin Forest gathered in the Shenhou Mansion, and Xuanyuan Po said that it would take several months to find a way to detoxify. From this, it can be seen that Tang Nuo’s methods are indeed far superior. Ordinary people, above the medical way, are already top masters.

At noon, Qi Ning was waiting for Tang Nuo’s good news, but someone in the palace ran to Yong’an Hall and told Qi Ning to enter the palace.

When the emperor summoned him, Qi Ning naturally couldn’t delay, so he could only go to the palace first. When he got to the imperial study, he saw the little emperor, but he didn’t see the other ministers here.

Seeing Qi Ning coming over, Longtai smiled and said, “Qining, do you know what I want to call you to enter the palace?”

Without the presence of others, Qi Ning was more casual.

He smiled and said, “The emperor looks very happy, it should be a happy event.” He rolled his eyes and asked, “Your Majesty, is there any good news on top of the virus?”

“You’re smart.” The little emperor smiled and said, “Do you know that I didn’t sleep all night last night, and I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until Ximen Wuhen came over.”

“Ah?” Qi Ning saw that although the little emperor’s face was filled with joy, his brows were indeed tired, and he asked, “Is Ximen Shenhou coming with good news?”

Long Tai said with a smile: “Old God Marquis still has some ability, and he did not let me down.” He pointed to a chair next to him, “There is no one else here, you sit down and talk first.”

Qi Ning smiled, but he was not polite. After sitting down, he said: “The emperor should take care of his body, or don’t work too hard.”

Longtai shook his head and smiled bitterly: “You don’t understand, I’m different from you, do you know that the virus broke out in the capital yesterday, and someone has privately blamed me for this.”

“Blame the emperor?” Qi Ning was a little surprised.

Longtai sneered and said: “With such a big thing happening in Beijing, I naturally can’t just listen to a few ministers talking in my ear, I sent Master Xiang to inquire about the situation, and heard some words that are absolutely impossible to hear from the ministers. ”

Qi Ning knew that the master Xiang Longtai referred to was Xiang Tianbei with a bizarre background, and Xiang Tianbei was a master of swordsmanship and someone Longtai trusted very much.

“What did the emperor hear?”

Longtai said indifferently: “Some people say that just after I ascended the throne, a plague broke out in the capital. This is because my virtue is not enough, and it angers the heavens, so the punishment will be imposed.”

“Damn, who is talking nonsense?” Qi Ning scolded: “Your Majesty, don’t take such nonsense to heart.”

Longtai smiled lightly and said: “Of course I don’t take it to heart, I only worry that those people will be deceived, and they will take it to heart. They don’t know that this plague was deliberately poisoned, and they thought it was really just an accident. In the event of a natural disaster, some people spread rumors behind their backs, and they spread the rumors one by one, so it is inevitable that people who don’t know the truth will believe it.”

“It’s really pervasive.” Qi Ning sneered: “Your Majesty, it seems that some people really took this opportunity to cholera.”

Longtai smiled and said: “This is what I expected. I don’t have enough virtue? Hmph, I would like to know, what kind of person is worthy of sitting on this chair?” Then he said: “When I told the master to me , I’m really a little upset, but just now, the old god Hou came to report the good news, and my unhappiness disappeared.”

“Your Majesty, what good news did Ximen Shenhou report?” Qi Ning asked, “Could it be that Shenhou Mansion has found a way to detoxify?”

Longtai laughed and said, “I’ll just say you’re smart, yes, Shenhou Mansion has found a way to detoxify.”

Qi Ning was slightly taken aback, thinking that yesterday Xuanyuan Po had said that it would take several months to detoxify.

Could it be that Shenhou Mansion was deliberately deceiving himself?

It’s just that Xuanyuan Po’s expression and tone at the time did not seem to be fake, otherwise his acting skills would be too realistic.

The Shenhou Mansion found a way to detoxify, which means that Tang Nuo and other people have been busy these two days in vain. Although Tang Nuo almost found a way to detoxify, but after all, before the antidote is really formulated, it cannot be said that it has been successful. .

But if Shenhou Mansion really found a way to detoxify, it would not be a bad thing, at least many people in the capital would be saved because of this.

“This is the emperor’s protection from heaven.” Qi Ning smiled and said, “Since the antidote has been found, this disaster will be able to survive this time.”

Long Tai hurriedly shook his head and said, “I didn’t make it clear that the antidote hasn’t arrived yet, but it’s almost there.” After a while, he said, “The Mansion of God Marquis has caught the poisoner.”

Qi Ning’s body was shocked, and he said in shock, “Really?”

Longtai seemed to have guessed that Qi Ning would be very surprised, and he was really surprised to see Qi Ning, he laughed and said: “Old God Hou came over earlier and reported that he had caught the disciple of Jiuxi Poison King, and now he is locked in Shenhou’s mansion and is being interrogated. .”

“The disciple of the poisonous king of Jiuxi?” Qi Ning was a little stunned: “Your Majesty, isn’t the poisonous king of Jiuxi here?”

“Jiuxi Poison King has not appeared yet, and it is very likely that he did not take action in person this time, but just sent his disciples to come.” Long Tai said: “But since this person is caught, if the poison is this People, then this person should know the method of detoxification, the Shenhou Mansion is interrogating, and once there is an explanation, I will order them to report it quickly.”

“Your Majesty, it was Ximen Shenhou who said that he could know the detoxification method from the disciples of Jiuxi Poison King?” Qi Ning asked with a frown, but at this moment he was wondering who the Shenhou Mansion had caught?

He knew that the little demon girl Anao was a disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King, and she seemed to be operating in the capital now, but he didn’t know whether this girl was caught by the Shenhou Mansion or whether Anao had other companions with him. Beijing.

Long Tai said: “Old God Hou didn’t say that. He only said that with that person in his hands, the antidote will be available soon.” He asked, “Qining, are you worried?”

Longtai is good at observing words and expressions, and looking at Qi Ning’s expression, he can see that Qi Ning seems to be worried.

“Your Majesty, if Ximen Shenhou really said that, the problem shouldn’t be too big.” Qi Ning said, “I’m worried that even if it was poisoned by that person, he might not really know the antidote.”

Long Tai nodded and said: “I have also considered your worries, but now that I have a clue, the next thing will be much easier to handle.” After a pause, he said: “I want you to come here, not just to tell you this news. , but there is one more thing for you to do.”

Qi Ning stood up, cupped his hands and said, “What is the emperor’s order, go through fire and water, and do whatever you want.”

“I don’t need you to go through fire and water.” Long Tai said with a smile: “I want you to go to the Shenhou Mansion to interrogate the disciple of the Jiuxi Poison King alone.”

“Your Majesty, this…why is this?” Qi Ning was stunned, a little surprised, “The Shenhou Mansion has a special criminal department, which is used to interrogate prisoners. They have interrogated countless people, and the interrogation methods must be very good. Gao Ming, in their hands, if the disciples of the Jiuxi Poison King really know the detoxification method, they should be taken out of their mouths by the servants of the Shenhou Mansion.”

Long Tai looked solemn, looked left and right, beckoned to Qi Ning, Qi Ning approached the imperial desk, Long Tai leaned in and whispered: “I let you go, I want you to bring back the truth, Shenhou’s mansion. People…I don’t trust them. And…I want you to confirm whether this matter is really related to the Jiuxi Poison King!”
