I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 152 Not good, cheating corpse!

Keshi Baba and his party took a few small fishing boats and headed all the way to the southeast coast.

The sea is vast and there is no trace to be found.

The land of the capital has already become a mess.

When Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi negotiated a deal and sent people to arrest Keshi Baba, they were shocked to find that more than [-] people in the whole house had died of poison.

Among them, more than a hundred people died outside.

"They're all dead? Not a single one left alive?" Hearing the eunuch's report from Dongchang, Wei Zhongxian was still deep in thought, but Qian Qianyi was in a hurry.

"Yes, not a single one was left alive." The eunuch who came to sue bowed and said, "Moreover, even the stables, fish ponds, cats and dogs were poisoned, and no one was left alive."

Qian Qianyi's face turned livid in an instant, he got up suddenly, and after a few breaths, he fell down on the chair and muttered to himself: "Impossible, she can't do it so cleanly..."

"What's impossible?" Wei Zhongxian raised his head, looked at Qian Qianyi coldly, and said, "Master Qian, did you send a secret agent to Hakka Baba?"

Qian Qianyi nodded, and said in a harsh voice, "I didn't target you, Mr. Wei."

"Ke Shi's identity is secret, if not for a senior from the rivers and lakes who traveled in the northern barbarian land and accidentally learned about it, all of us would have been kept in the dark."

"Therefore, Qian sent a dark man to pretend to be a personal maid in his house..."

Qian Qianyi wanted to continue talking, but when he saw Wei Zhongxian's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, he couldn't help but stop, laughed dryly, and asked: "Mr. Wei, why do you have such an expression?
Is there any problem? "

"There's no problem, but I'm afraid the dark man you sent would have been killed long ago." Wei Zhongxian picked up the tea bowl, took a sip, and said leisurely:

"I just don't know, what about the Anzi sent by Master Qian?"

Wei Zhongxian chuckled a few times and shook his head endlessly.

Qian Qianyi's complexion had already turned ashen, and he asked in a deep voice: "Mr. Wei, the situation is critical now, don't be joking!"

Wei Zhongxian stood up, and said seriously: "This kind of thing, our family can tell you nonsense, can't you? I, Wei Zhongxian, don't know what kind of virtue that old bitch Hakka Baba is, and no one in this world knows."

The eunuch walked out and said, "Let's go, Mr. Qian, it's time to handle the case."

Qian Qianyi was stunned for a moment, and followed quickly.

Under the guard of more than a hundred experts, they took two small orchid sedan chairs and walked towards Hakshi Baba's house.

Along the way, everyone saw the guards of honor huddled in front and behind them from afar, and they avoided to both sides of the streets and alleys, carefully peeking at them.

In recent days, the land of the capital is not secure, and major incidents happen every now and then.

Some time ago, the incident of "Jiannu iron cavalry sneak attacking the capital" has not stopped. I heard that something happened again in the house that the late emperor gave to his nanny Hakshi Baba.

"Have you heard that it's the evil spirits who are taking your life?"

"What kind of evil ghost is taking his life? It's clear that the woman made a fuss and tossed all the men in the family to death."

"Crap, nonsense, I heard that pigs, dogs and livestock are all dead..."

……

Listening to the low-pitched discussions of the common people, Wei Zhongxian and Qian Qianyi both sat in their sedan chairs with their eyes closed and rested without saying a word.

"Nine thousand... Eunuch Wei, the road ahead is blocked, do you want to take a detour?"

Suddenly, an eunuch from Dongchang came running quickly, stuck to the window of the sedan chair in which Wei Zhongxian was riding, and said in a low voice, "There was a homicide ahead. I heard that two people died suddenly while walking..."

Wei Zhongxian lifted the curtain, glanced forward, and said, "Go and ask, what's the situation?"

The eunuch walked away quickly, pushed aside the onlookers, and stepped forward to check.

On Qingshi Avenue, two men dressed as servants were lying on the ground, no more than three or five steps apart.

Bleeding from the seven orifices, the exposed skin has already begun to fester, and it is covered with densely packed lavender blisters, which seem to burst if you are not careful...

"What kind of disease is this, why did you die while walking?"

"It's not a disease, it's like dying from poison..."

Among the crowd, several Shuntian government servants shrank their necks, put their hands in their sleeves, and looked like they had nothing to do with them, which made the Dongchang eunuch very dissatisfied.

"You guys, as government servants, why don't you come here!"

A eunuch said angrily.

"People don't sue, officials don't prosecute, this is going to die, and there is no one who suffers, and it is not easy for us to go forward to deal with it." An old yamen servant shrank his neck and said with a smile:
"What's more, there are all the bosses and adults here to handle the case, and the younger ones have no choice but to..."

Before the old yamen servant could finish his sentence, an eunuch from Dongchang stepped over and slammed the back of his knife on his mouth.

Immediately, the old government servant's few dozen teeth, not one left, were chopped into pieces by the back of the knife, mixed with blood and minced meat, slowly flowing out.

"you!"

The other Shuntian government servants were about to show their teeth, but they saw the back of the Dongchang eunuch's knife slashing on the old government servant's mouth again.

There was a sound of '噗'.

The old yamen servant's gums were chopped into rotten flesh again, and he was shaking with pain, with his arms outstretched, he could only let out a miserable howl of 'ahhh' for a while.

I wanted to scold someone a few words, but I couldn't.

The servants of Shuntian Mansion shut up.

The Dongchang eunuchs have always been domineering, but they mainly target those who are officials. As small people like yamen servants, team leaders, and fast hands, they don't pay attention to them at all.

This kind of thing, in the past, maybe the eunuchs of the East Factory would even joke a few words and laugh a few times, that's all.

These dead eunuchs, have you eaten gunpowder today?

"Go away, one person calls for the job, and the others come to investigate the scene of the crime, and after making records, move the body to Shuntian Mansion."

A Dongchang eunuch said with a gloomy face.

Several yamen servants hurried forward and started the inspection.

"Bleeding from seven orifices, bruises all over, and dark purple blisters all over his body, he should have died from poison."

"In addition, the hair loss is serious, and there is a faint fishy smell, um, there is also a little orchid aroma..."

Several Shuntian government officials covered their mouths and noses with their sleeves, endured the discomfort and examined the corpse carefully, they looked quite professional.

Several Dongchang eunuchs stood far away and supervised, discussing in a low voice from time to time, and pointing at the two corpses, their expressions were rather dignified.

puff--

Giggle... Pupu!
Suddenly, a series of gasping sounds came from the throats of the two corpses.

The fine blisters all over the skin began to burst visibly with the naked eye, bursting out clusters of lavender mist, which stayed in the air for a few breaths before gradually dissipating...

"Cheat corpse!"

A young yamen servant with pimples all over his face screamed, and suddenly stepped back seven or eight steps. His face turned pale in an instant, his lips trembled, and he could barely breathe.

The other veteran yamen servants covered their mouths and noses, laughed loudly, and muttered something in their mouths.

The scene was quite ridiculous for a while.

The faces of the eunuchs of the East Factory suddenly changed.

This kind of poison... is too weird, I seem to have seen it somewhere?

"No, it's corpse poison!" someone whispered.
