Chapter 4 Greedy mouth does not spare life
The City Lord's Mansion is towering, connected to the Fourth Street from the north to the south, and adjacent to two peaks from the east to the west.
The huge tower in the east is close to the water, and the tail of the tower is in the clouds. The water and the sky are the same color. The giant tower pond is frozen all year round, and there is very little smoke. Occasionally, there are a few cranes chirping, echoing in it, but only the sound of the crane is heard but no shadow is seen.
With the two peaks as a backdrop and the city lord's palace in front, there is a beautiful artistic conception of Xuanxiao Danque.
The mansion is divided into three courtyards, the front, middle and back, and the four outer courtyards are the east, west, north and south, which correspond to the green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu, which means the four directions.
Xuanwu is in the north, and Xuanwu Garden is the first of the four major gardens. It is quiet and leisurely, with a lake inside. The lake is as red as blood and turbid. Red clouds and mist float on the lake surface all year round. A lake-viewing pavilion in the center of the lake soars straight into the sky.
, with a panoramic view of the city, this is one of the three tall buildings in Beiming.
The Wanghu Pavilion has a total of six floors, with four cornices and a total of 24 cornices on the six floors.
Four beasts are placed on the top corner of the eaves. The green dragon, white tiger, red bird, and Xuanwu are opposite to the four directions. The dragon, the tiger, and the bird are performing mysterious dances, with different expressions and lifelike expressions.
Four animals are also placed on the five-story eaves, a python, an ox, a bear and a fox. The giant python spits out a long letter and stands upright, while the three animals bow their heads and lower their eyebrows, as if they are professing submission.
Further down, four utensils are placed at the corners of the four-story cornices, a sword, a spear, a hammer and a cauldron.
There are four flowers on the three-story eaves, which are the most common flowers: plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum.
On the third floor, there is nothing on the corners of the eaves. There is a wind bell hanging under each eaves. When the wind blows, the sound of the bells is clear and lively, and can be heard continuously.
Although Wanghu Pavilion is named after the word pavilion, it is different from a small pavilion where you can enjoy a meal and enjoy the scenery while boating on the lake. Compared with it, Wanghu Pavilion can be regarded as a courtyard for everyone, even the most famous Donghuer in Beiming City.
Nothing less than that.
Three days ago, since the maid Liu'er was poisoned, the city lord ordered Fu Rui to be moved to Wanghu Pavilion. On the one hand, it was an elegant and virtuous residence, suitable for recuperating from injuries; on the other hand, it was rumored that the slave guarding the pavilion in Wanghu Pavilion was a master of the third-level spirit transformation realm.
, no master dares to do this again now.
Doctor Li frowned, stroking his white beard and said: "Sir City Lord, this is foxtail mink poison. This poison is made from foxtail blood as the lead, white spirit mink blood as the supplement, and various poisonous insects and poisonous plants."
"Poisonous insects and poisonous weeds are not colorless and odorless. How would you know if the food was laced with poison?"
Li Bing was known as the Medical Immortal in Beiming, and came from a family of pharmacists.
"The strange thing is here. First, the foxtail blood causes hallucinations, and the white spirit mink blood causes numbness. If the two are shared, it will not cause death. The blend of the two is the highly toxic foxtail mink poison that causes hallucinations and numbness.
, but the fox-tailed marten poison is dark and pungent, and should not be colorless and odorless. Secondly, the fox-tailed marten poison is very strong and takes effect within seconds of taking it into the mouth. However, the poison in the young master is a chronic poison, which lasts for more than a month.
It must have been the murder he suffered after returning to the city."
Fu Hu put his hands behind his back and looked at the foggy Chishui Lake, "Li Bing, can spiritual power increase or decrease the potency of medicine?"
Li Bing cupped his hands and bent down, "Logically speaking, it's okay, but if you use spiritual power to reduce the potency of the medicine, the fox-tailed marten poison will definitely return to the body of the person who applied the spirit along with the spiritual power."
"What if the person giving the spirit is pregnant with a poisonous beast spirit?"
Li Bin paused, and kept bowing while raising his head. After a moment, he lowered his head again, "I am just a doctor. I only treat difficult and difficult diseases in my life. I will never say right or wrong in front of others."
Fu Hu waved his hand: "Go down."
"City Lord, do you want to arrest Li Bing and put him in the prison of the patrol camp?" The man who spoke was thin, with dark skin and a deer head and rat eyes. He was not a good person at first glance.
"Shen Lie, don't play with me. Don't you think you've caused me enough trouble? If you let me know which good family you will imprison in the patrol camp again, I'll take your head off."
"That's all because of Cai Zhong's indifference. When I turn around, my subordinates will teach him a lesson. My subordinates are very loyal to the city lord. The sun and the moon can teach me about it. Their admiration is like a torrential river, endless..."
"alright."
Shen Lie leaned over and whispered with a flattering face: "My subordinates think that Li is just a medicine man with no power. If you find a greaser and put him in the prison of the patrol camp, and go through the motions, you will definitely be frightened. When the time comes, Ask whatever you want to ask."
Fu Hu raised his head and glared at Shen Lie, "Go back and be grounded for three days. Think carefully about what you did wrong."
"City Lord."
Fu Hu flicked his hand and retreated.
Is it really okay for you two to plot so loudly?
Fu Rui, who had nothing to do, cursed.
"How's that servant doing?"
"Reporting to the Lord of the City, all the muscles and veins in the whole body...the whole body are severed. Doctor Li said that the poisoning is so severe that there is no way to recover."
Fu Hu had no expression on his face and stood motionless in front of the window for a long time.
At this time, Fu Rui broke out in a cold sweat. Someone was going to attack him, the titular prince. He had been doing nothing and just peeking at the maid's figure. Only at this moment did he understand that even if he traveled to another world and started a new life, That is not the exciting life in the novel. In the past, I was not even a bystander. Now as the protagonist, as the time traveler, assassination is assassination, and I may die at any time. This is reality, this is his life.
Fu Rui was in shock, and it took him a long time to regain consciousness. However, he was paralyzed and could not run or hide. What could he do if others wanted to kill him.
After thinking about it, Fu Rui felt relieved. It wasn't like he had never died anyway. The worst he could do was to do it again, and go back and say a few words about Hei Wuchang.
It's a pity, it's a pity that little girl Yan'er has only seen me with my head down, but never my majestic look with my head up.
It's a pity, beautiful lady Liu'er. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Being greedy is not a good thing. It seems that I'll have to pay more attention to what I eat in the future, and get a silver needle to test the poison?
In the final analysis, Hei Wuchang deceived me, and I am not worthy of being the son of man, Hei Wuchang.
It seems...she can't be considered a human either.
Hey, if I have a chance to get up, I have to thank the beautiful Liuer. If it weren't for her, maybe I would...
Don't say I'm ungrateful. As the old saying goes, kindness should be repaid by a spring. But I can't even hug you like this, so how can I repay you with a spring?
Fu Rui thought about traveling a lot, thinking about the time when he was an otaku, which was unremarkable but extremely fulfilling. He had a mobile phone, a computer, and those wives. What do they have now? There is an eighteenth brother who is uninteresting and useless. Handicrafts are almost being lost. It’s just a waste of time without looking up and crying.
Anyway, I have nothing to do, why not use modern people’s ideas to analyze and pass the boring time?
"The person who wanted to kill me must have been a last resort because Fu Rui's return to the city caused him losses in profits. And the biggest competitor among them, or in other words, the biggest beneficiary from my death should be the current incumbent. The eldest son of the city lord, Fu Chen, is dead. Only after I die will he be the legitimate crown prince and the future heir to the city lord."
Fu Rui learned the analysis methods from previous criminal investigation dramas and started reasoning from the most fundamental interest relationship. The person with the greatest interests is the first suspect.
Fu Rui's mind flashed back to the polite Fu Chen who came to see him a few days ago. Fu Chen has outstanding appearance and decent conversation. In modern times, he is a second-generation rich man and a second-generation official. He must have had countless women. As for what he is now.
He didn't know what his character was. Fu Chen in Fu Rui's memory was still a child and had no reference value.
"Fu Chen is at best the first suspect, and the second suspect should be all Fu Chen's close relatives and friends after he became powerful. My aunt who still has a charming personality can also be considered one of the suspects, and..."
There were bursts of sobs outside the door, "I have told her not to secretly take the young master's medicinal diet, but she just doesn't listen."
"Liu'er was born with a greedy mouth and wanted to try everything. Now she has become a drug tester. It's a pity for her young brother."
Fu Rui sighed. Throughout the ages, people at the bottom have no right to speak. They are victims of political interests. Even if they are unaware of those struggles, they often do not realize that they are in the quagmire until they die.
By the way, where has that little fat guy gone? I haven't seen him for several days.
"Master, please call me." A chubby figure flashed in front of the window. Fu Rui's nerves twitched and he almost cursed.
"How did he know I was looking for him?"
The little fat man Tie Yiyu said expressionlessly: "I just know."
Fuck~
Coincidence, it must be a coincidence, how could he know what I was thinking.
"Big idiot."
"The young master is saying something incomprehensible again."
"Is it possible that he is the peerless master I want? Are you a peerless master?" Fu Rui asked silently in his heart?
"Master, what is a peerless master?"
"..."
"It's the kind of person who is very powerful in martial arts. He can go to heaven and earth, and go into the sea to catch turtles..."
"Master, what is a turtle?"
"..."
