"You must be very tired after such a long time, right?"
"It's okay, my arm is just a little sore."
"Where's the whip?"
"It's okay, it's pretty strong."
"Thanks to you being here this time, otherwise so many people wouldn't know what to do."
"It's all what I should do."
"..."
In the twilight of dusk, the Jianguo Mansion, which was crowded with people during the day, finally became deserted. Chu Liang sat in front of the middle steps of the courtyard and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone from the Supervisory Office came to ask a few questions one after another. This time Chu Liang almost single-handedly saved the people in the city who were poisoned by the poison, which can be described as a heroic act.
First of all, if it hadn't been for his timely reminder, the scale of BOC's poisoning would have been dozens or even hundreds of times greater. Without his efforts to detoxify, not many of those poisoned would have survived.
Still, dozens of people died in the incident.
Another great contributor was Jiang Yuebai, who was also from Shushan. The Shura leaf powder she brought back was also the key to saving people, including the young man with the medicine jar in Heisongling. If it hadn't been for the medicine jar that only existed outside, it would have been impossible to find out the culprit behind this incident so quickly.
After catching Poison Master Song, the people in the Supervisory Office quickly asked for the antidote for the poison, and sure enough, there was Shura Leaf. Jiang Yuebai took the young man with the medicine jar and Jian Guofu back to Wandu Mountain to collect some medicine before returning.
The emperor's daughter Feng went to play with Xue Muyu again. The beautiful wife was definitely more attractive to her than the apprentice, so she left Chu Liang here alone.
After a while, Ji Zidian came over and told Chu Liang some of the circumstances of the case.
"Besides the poison master, the main culprits are a couple." Ji Zidian told Chu Liang: "Yang Buju and Xiao Wuyan."
"What a fitting name." Chu Liang said upon hearing this.
After that, Ji Zidian briefly talked about their origins.
That Yang Buju was actually a disciple of Penglai before, and he was also a direct disciple of Penglai's headmaster Cangsheng Taoist.
Nearly a hundred years ago, an extremely bad case occurred in the world of immortality. The leader of the Neptune Sect at that time was besieged by a sudden attack of several great demons while digging a secret realm in the North Sea, and almost died.
After he escaped from death, he thoroughly investigated the source of the secret operation and found that the news was first detected by the Penglai Sect and then spread from the East China Sea. The person who did this was Penglai disciple Yang Buju.
The incident of colluding with evil spirits to assassinate the leader of the Righteous Sect aroused the common anger of the court and the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Everyone did not think that a disciple could make the decision in this matter, and pointed the finger directly at the common people behind Yang Buju.
Penglai Shangzong quickly captured Yang Buju, saying that his disciples were tempted by outsiders and were willing to execute Yang Buju.
Of course, at the time, this was seen as abandoning pawns to save chariots.
But what happened next was a bit shocking, because it was the night before Yang Buju was about to be executed by the sect. A group of Yinghuo thugs attacked Penglai at night and kidnapped Yang Buju.
In the following decades, Yang Buju married Xiao Wuyan, another murderer in Yinghuo, and the two of them committed many shocking crimes. Only then did people gradually believe that maybe he was actually induced by Yinghuo to betray the leader of the Sea King Sect. After all, Yinghuo has been doing this kind of thing to sow discord among major forces over the years, either openly or covertly.
Yang Buju is good at escaping, and Xiao Wuyan is good at illusion. Together, this husband and wife team is all-pervasive and unpredictable.
If the Supervisory Order hadn't locked down Poison Master Song's location this time and found them, the court and the people in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths wouldn't even know Xiao Wuyan's true face.
And the context of the case became clear.
As early as the plan to go to Roupu Kingdom was decided, Yinghuo's people learned the news and knew that there would be a prisoner sacrifice event after the army's triumphant return. They contacted Poison Master Song on Black Pine Ridge and prepared to find a strong poison.
Poison Master Song had a feud with the Red River Sect, so he asked the other party to kill a few people from the Red River Sect first. Xiao Wuyan happened to discover the existence of Chu Liang when he committed the murder. It may be because he had a problem with Yinghuo before, so Xiao Wuyan chose to blame Chu Liang when he committed the murder.
The reason why she didn't attack Chu Liang directly was because she originally wanted to choose a frame-up target, to distance herself from herself and at the same time divert the attention of the Supervisory Government. And Chu Liang happened to appear near the crime scene twice, providing a perfect scapegoat.
This is also more in line with Yinghuo's usual style. Compared with killing a young disciple, they obviously prefer to sow discord between Shushan and Jianguo Mansion.
If the conspiracy succeeds, then the Supervisory Government will be under pressure to deal with Chu Liang, but Shushan must keep him. In this way, no matter who wins in the end, the relationship between the two parties will inevitably break down.
In their minds, if things got too big, Shushan might go to the Jianguo Mansion to steal people. As for the drama of "night attack on Yu's capital city", not even anyone in Yinghuo dared to think of it.
When the Jianguo Mansion focused on Wandu Mountain, they transferred all the medicine jars to Yudu City, so that they could cause heavy damage to Yudu City on the day when the prisoners were presented.
Even the bones and teeth used as gifts from Roufu Kingdom were tampered with by them. Originally, prisoners of war had to undergo careful inspection before entering the imperial city. If they were poisoned, they would definitely not be able to reach the main hall. But they smeared the poison on the bones and teeth, and waited until the gifts were presented before the people of the country were poisoned, and the poison was not released until the banquet was held. Only then did they hide it from the public and cause riots in the palace.
This series of plans was originally considered very thorough, but it was a pity that the person she saw was Chu Liang. Sending Chu Liang to the Jianguo Mansion was perhaps the decision that Xiao Wuyan regretted the most.
Jiang Yuebai was in Wandu Mountain and Chu Liang was in Supervisory Mansion. It can be said that the two of them together completely crushed this conspiracy.
…
After reviewing this series of conspiracies, Ji Zidian couldn't help but feel a little scared and said: "Fortunately, it's you who came this time. If it had been anyone else, there would have been a big chaos in Yudu City."
"I believe that even if I don't step forward, the Supervisory Order will still have methods to eliminate the unrest." Chu Liang said with a smile.
He wouldn't think that the whole thing was all his fault. At least, if he gave a little reminder, all members of the Supervisory Office would be dispatched, which showed that they were very vigilant during such a large-scale celebration.
"But it's true that the poison cannot be cured, at least those thousands of people will definitely die." Ji Zidian smiled and said: "By the way, many people have already written you letters of thanks, and some have sent you banners. "
Some people who were rescued early recovered quickly after being detoxified, and were ready to express their gratitude to Chu Liang and send them to the Supervisor's Mansion. It's just that Chu Liang has been busy working, and the people from the Supervisory Office haven't brought it over yet.
As Ji Zidian shouted, someone from the Supervisory Office immediately brought up a stack of letters of thanks and a few banners.
Chu Liang smiled and unfolded it, and saw several red banners with large golden characters embroidered on them.
"Wonderful Hand Whip..."
"The divine whip penetrates the acupuncture points, and the holy hand controls the spring breeze..."
"Thanks to Shushan Young Heroic Whip for helping my wife regain her smile..."
Chu Liang's smile gradually disappeared, and he wondered why these words looked so strange. We really can't give you some money. No matter how much real money is, it's still interesting.
"From now on, you can hang these on the wall at home so that people can know about your feats as a whip master." Ji Zidian laughed.
The smile never disappeared, it just moved from Chu Liang's face to his.
"Haha." Chu Liang also faked a smile.
No way.
I'm afraid I won't be able to hold my head up for the rest of my life...
Putting these things away, Ji Zidian said again: "Speaking of it, you masters and disciples can be regarded as Yinghuo's nemesis. The imperial court has been arresting Yinghuo's thieves for many years, but has always achieved little results. In the past sixty years, only a few have been killed. Human. Your master beat one to death last time, and this time I caught another thanks to you. You have to be more careful in the future, Yinghuo’s people might be targeting you."
"I will pay attention." Chu Liang nodded.
In fact, the previous imperial court had little harvest. The main reason was that after the turmoil eighty years ago, Yinghuo was brutally killed and had been dormant for decades and rarely showed up.
Recently, their activities have become more frequent. I wonder if they have accumulated enough strength or they want to take advantage of the recent turmoil in Kyushu to join in the fun.
Now that Xiao Wuyan has been taken to Tianbei Prison, I believe some results can be obtained from the trial.
There are prisons on all sides of Yudu City, the most famous of which is the Tianbei Prison in the north, because all the powerful people are suppressed in it.
In this world where great power is attributed to the human body, prison is a very important place. If it is not tight enough, it will be like the prison where Chu Liang was staying before, and it can be broken through at will.
And Tianbei Prison is the strongest prison in the world. There is Tianbei Prison Prison King and another person in charge of Jianguo Mansion, Tianyuan, and the two Eighth Realm powerhouses suppress it together.
It's guaranteed to be foolproof.
The two were chatting, and suddenly someone came over and called out: "Young Master Chu, there is a decree from the palace... Please let me, master and disciple, enter the palace."
