"Why not, General Qin, what if you are poisoned by then?" Xu Huibao said with a worried look.
Qin Yun said lightly: "I'm worried that they will use other creatures or other people to test poison. If they find that the experimental subjects are not poisoned, won't our identity be exposed? After they find out our identity, they will definitely be more careful. , it will be even more difficult to find any clues when the time comes."
"etc……"
Li Ruyi and Zhuge Xianqiao looked at each other.
"I would like to ask, how are they going to poison you? Are they going to sneak into our Duke Chengguo's Mansion, or... do we have their undercover agents in our Duke Chengguo's Mansion?"
Suddenly, several people felt cold all over.
"Who knows what we came out to investigate today?"
Zhuge Xianqiao and Xu Huibao immediately said: "No one knows our actions."
"We didn't tell anyone except my father."
Li Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems that we need to be more careful when we go back."
After Qin Yun entered the pawn shop, he immediately saw a bloated middle-aged man behind the wooden counter. He stepped forward and showed off his jade pendant, feeling a little nervous at this time.
It would be bad if Li Chengguang recognized it as Chen Chenshu's jade pendant.
Fortunately, there was no mark engraved on the jade pendant that could prove his identity. Li Chengguang didn't think much and asked in a low voice: "Where are the things?"
Qin Yun put the kit on the table.
"Where are you from and why haven't I seen you before?"
Li Chengguang opened the kit and then asked casually.
"I haven't been in the capital before. Something happened recently, so I was transferred here."
Qin Yun smiled, took out twenty taels of silver from the pocket he carried with him, and placed it in front of Li Chengguang.
"From now on, please take care of me, the newcomer, Mr. Li."
"Hehe, you kid is quite sensible."
Li Chengguang was obviously quite satisfied with his behavior. He nodded with a smile, took the silver and blew it.
"Okay, let's leave. Be careful lately, but don't go with those court officials, lest someone discovers your identity. If you encounter anything, report to me here, or go directly to the restaurant to find the proprietress. She will take you to see Master Jiang. At other times, it is best for you to stay at home and not go out."
Li Chengguang's instructions were very careful, but unfortunately, there were no clues in these words. Qin Yun sighed in his heart, left the pawn shop, and walked to the alley far away with Li Ruyi and the others.
"We didn't get any important clues. Let's go back now and continue to investigate here tomorrow."
Qin Yun narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "It seems now that there is no strict distinction between superiors and subordinates in this organization. I made it clear that I was transferred to the capital from other places, but Li Chengguang still said that if I have any trouble, I can go to him directly. Mr. Jiang."
"In the capital, Mr. Jiang should be the highest-ranking member of the organization. Below him are Li Chengguang and Liu Mu - I haven't seen this Liu Mu yet. He is not in the pawn shop."
Li Ruyi nodded and said: "Next, it depends on what method they want to use to poison."
Under the management of Li Kai, the entire Chengguo Palace has been built into a fortress. It is impossible for them to sneak into the Chengguo Palace and poison themselves. Li Ruyi believes that they most likely want to bribe the underlings of the Chengguo Palace. person or chef.
Thinking about it differently, maybe the Duke Cheng's Mansion had been infiltrated by them a long time ago.
Then this matter is not ordinary serious.
Xu Huibao and Zhuge Xianqiao were the first to return to Chengguo Palace, while Qin Yun and Li Ruyi entered the palace to meet with Xia Zi.
"It's so..."
Xia Tianzi looked gloomy, and then he said: "If they can even infiltrate Cheng Guogong's palace, then there might be some of their people in my palace."
As a result, troubleshooting becomes much more difficult.
"No matter what, let's find out the traitor hiding in Chengguo Duke's mansion first, and we will investigate the rest slowly in the future."
Xia Tianzi waved, and a father-in-law came forward and said, "Bring a few Baijie Pills and let Marshal Li and General Qin take them away."
Xia Zi looked at the two of them and said in a solemn tone: "The Baijie Pill can remove thousands of toxins in the world, but I don't know what kind of poison they used. You'd better detect the identity of the traitor before you are poisoned. do you understand?"
Li Ruyi and Qin Yun are both important ministers in his eyes, and there must be no problems.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
A smile appeared on Qin Yun's lips, and he was about to kneel down when he heard Xia Tianzi snort coldly.
"You little fox, don't think that I don't know what you are here for today."
Qin Yun quickly said: "I don't dare."
"Let go... don't say anything daring. Take the Baijie Dan and go back quickly to continue investigating the case. I still have a lot of official duties to be busy with."
After leaving the palace, Li Ruyi said with a smile: "You are very brave, you actually dare to ask for the treasure from His Majesty."
"I don't have it. Your Majesty gave it to me."
Qin Yun said with a smile.
He spread out his palms, and several pills appeared in front of his eyes. The pills were light blue in color and exuded a slight medicinal fragrance. The smell made people feel relaxed and refreshed.
Moreover, Xia Zizi was so thoughtful that even Li Kai, Zhuge Xianqiao and Xu Huibao took it into consideration and gave several more coins.
After returning to Duke Chengguo's mansion, Qin Yun couldn't help but tense up.
After learning that there was a traitor in the house, the place that originally felt warm was now enveloped in a strange atmosphere.
The two entered Zhuge Xianqiao's room together.
"After you came back, did you observe the servants in the mansion? Is there anything wrong with them?"
Qin Yun asked.
"Not yet, but it won't be certain in the future. We'd better be careful."
Qin Yun gave the Baijie Pill to them and said in a solemn tone: "As soon as you feel uncomfortable, take the pill immediately. Do you understand?"
"Okay... the one who should be most careful is General Qin. Their target is you. General, don't worry. Once I find something unusual, I will report it to you and Marshal Li immediately."
Xu Huibao accepted the elixir and said.
evening.
A dark shadow took advantage of the night to sneak out of Duke Chengguo's mansion and came to the pawn shop behind the restaurant.
In the pawn shop, the dim candlelight flickered. Li Chengguang was sitting behind the counter and dozing off. Suddenly he heard an unusual noise and picked up the long sword beside him.
"No, it's me!"
There was a hint of panic in that voice.
"Tsk, why are you here just now? I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"
Li Chengguang suddenly woke up. He frowned and took out a tips bag from under the counter.
