Everyone responded in unison: "Remember!"
"Just remember, all of you, please step aside." Qin waved her hand, and everyone in the hall took their leave one after another.
Yang Zhen stood still. He still had something to report, so naturally he couldn't leave in a hurry.
But Zhao Yue'er couldn't wait any longer. She hadn't listened to the story for several days, so she asked Caiyun to ask Yang Zhen to go together.
Yang Zhen originally wanted to wait until the others were almost gone before speaking, but now she had no choice but to stand up:
"Madam, First Elder, I have something to report."
"Oh?" Mrs. Qin was a little surprised. Seeing that Yang Zhen was serious and not joking, she asked, "What's the matter?"
Yang Zhen looked both ways and didn't answer.
The lady became more and more curious and did not push her. After a while, she, Nanny, and Caiyan were the only ones left in the hall, and even Zhao Yuer, who was eagerly waiting for the story, was driven back to sleep.
Yang Zhen then said: "Foster mother, mama, my son may have encountered something when he goes to Zhoucheng this time."
Then, he told the story of how he fell asleep after getting off the flying boat.
He didn't say anything about the poisoning. Although a three-day dry spell can detoxify before it attacks, it is not easy. It usually requires the help of a monk with advanced cultivation to remove the toxins from the body. Yang Zhen could not explain the detoxification process. So just don't mention it. Even if the poisoner is caught in the future, he will not admit the poisoning.
Secondly, according to his own judgment, the last incident should have come from two forces. The three-day Ku Zhu family is the most suspect. After all, with Chen Fugui's warning, the Zhu family probably thought he had some secret and had murderous intentions towards him.
As for the poison that melted the spiritual roots, it must have come from the old house. It was probably the aftermath of the Chinese New Year brawl. Some of the guys who had suffered a loss wanted him to remain an honest human being for the rest of his life, which was considered a bad word.
It should be said that Yang Zhen's analysis was not unreasonable. After all, the information he had was limited, and he did not realize how much resentment the accounting method caused and how many people's financial paths were cut off.
…
"What kind of thing is this?" Mrs. Qin was a little angry after listening to his story. Do you think we have time to listen to you talking about this so late at night?
"I suspect that I have been poisoned by the kind of poison that can destroy my spiritual roots." Yang Zhen said in a deep voice.
"What?" The grandmother on the side suddenly changed her expression: "Why do you think so?"
"I have practiced the body training technique, which can enhance the strength of the spiritual roots in my body. Sometimes I can vaguely feel the existence of the spiritual roots." Yang Zhen's words were half true and half false: "But since that day, I can no longer I can’t feel my spiritual roots anymore.”
"If you don't believe me, can you check the boy's body to see if his spiritual roots are still there?"
"How can you check this?" Mammy shook her head: "Before the spiritual root manifests, there is no way to detect it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be possible to know whether a person has spiritual roots?"
"Then in this world, is there any poison that can dissolve the spiritual roots in the body?" Yang Zhen continued to ask.
Grandma was silent for a moment, then suddenly her eyes flashed: "Hualing Powder! Forbidden medicine - Hualing Powder!"
At this time, her expression was extremely serious: "The Spirit Transformation Powder can dissolve the spiritual roots in low-level monks, and it can also dissolve the unembodied spiritual roots in children."
"After taking Hualing Powder, the spiritual roots in the body will dissolve and the whole person will become drowsy! Little Shitou, please tell me your experience that day!"
Yang Zhen then recounted her experience on the spaceship that day again, including the sesame seed cakes she had eaten, and what Wang Shaohe mentioned about the monk who woke up from a coma and left in a hurry.
"According to the sixteenth uncle of the Wang family, the monk should have been manipulated. But this person refused to cooperate with the investigation and left in a hurry." Yang Zhen cupped her hands and said, "Father, can you ask Zhouchang to help you check this case?" people."
His purpose tonight was to persuade his wife and grandma to ask the Zhao family to help him find out the facts. The last search for his life experience made him understand that trying to find the murderer by himself was tantamount to wishful thinking, and he had to rely on the Zhao family.
Mrs. Qin nodded: "I will take your matter to heart, don't worry!"
Yang Zhen is hers, and since she is being framed, she has no reason not to help.
"Little stone!" Grandma suddenly asked, "Did you find anything wrong with that sesame cake when you ate it?"
"No, it tastes the same as usual."
"No! Hualing Powder is difficult to dissolve quickly. If it was sprinkled on the flying boat, there should be some white powder on the sesame cake..."
Her eyes suddenly became sharp: "Little Shitou, is this sesame seed cake the one you originally bought?"
"This..." Yang Zhen hesitated and said, "I don't know either. Every time I take the flying boat, Aunt Fu buys sesame seeds for me in advance."
"Do you eat sesame cakes every time? Or do you eat sesame cakes from the same restaurant?"
"Yes!" Yang Zhen nodded. The ugly uncle once gave him and Tie Zhu two sesame seed cakes, and he later came to visit often, which was considered a kind of repayment.
"Does anyone in the house know about your habit?"
"Caisi knows. I once took her to that sesame seed stall and told her that the sesame seed seller helped me before." Yang Zhen already understood: "It shouldn't be Caisi, right? Maybe she told others .”
Qin Wan also heard something was wrong from the side: "Caisi, what's wrong with her?"
"Wan'er!" Mammy looked solemn: "If someone in the house leaks Yang Zhen's affairs, then we must be careful. This is not just Xiao Shitou's problem."
Qin Wan looked at her mother in confusion, not understanding what she meant.
"Hua Ling Powder! Transform the whole body's spiritual roots, Wan'er, you, aren't you worried about Yue'er?"
"Bang!" Mrs. Qin stood up suddenly, her eyes bursting with frightening light!
Zhao Yue'er, this is all her hope, her reverse scale!
If Yue'er's spiritual roots were transformed, she, she couldn't imagine the consequences.
She was trembling all over with fear, anger, fear...
We must not let them hurt Yue'er!
"This matter must be investigated to get to the bottom of it!" Mrs. Qin said every word in a firm tone.
…
The three of them discussed and quickly made the following arrangements.
First of all, Zhao Yue'er's safety must be ensured. During this period, the little girl should not go out casually or eat randomly.
"Everything Yue'er eats must be tasted by me first!" Mrs. Qin said flatly.
If a monk takes Hualing Powder, his spiritual roots will begin to dissolve in about a quarter of an hour, which is easy to detect.
For the sake of her daughter, Qin Wan can sacrifice everything, even if she loses her spiritual roots and becomes a mortal, she doesn't care.
Furthermore, the investigation was carried out from two aspects. The first was on the boat field, where the people who took the flying boat that day were interviewed, including the comatose person mentioned by Yang Zhen, to see if there was anything suspicious. Although the ferry tickets are not purchased under real names, there are some passengers who frequently travel between states and counties, and the boat field is also very familiar with them. You can ask these people first.
The second is to conduct self-examination within the house, such as Caisi, asking her who she has talked to about Yang Zhen.
Finally, grandma also suggested writing a letter to Patriarch Zhexi who was in the sect, asking if there was any way to repair the spiritual roots of the children after taking Hualing Powder. Ancestor Yun Jun must not let him know, otherwise his doting on Yue'er might affect his seclusion.
Because of the threat posed by Hualing Powder to Zhao Yue'er, a thorough investigation of Yang Zhen's poisoning immediately became the most important matter for the Zhao family in the county.
