"Three years ago, after the red-mouse macaques were stolen, a case of mass poisoning occurred in Yi County, Qiannan. The whole village was furious and killed each other, and the whole village died."

"The second case was at Taichuan Manor. All the people there were killed overnight. Baihua Valley sent people to investigate. They were also poisoned by a drug extracted from the toxins in the red monkey's body."

"Then it was the Qiyao Gang..."

Li Gu told Feng Qingluan about several strange incidents that had occurred in the past three years and had had a greater impact, some of which were caused by the red-mortar monkey and some were not.

Feng Qingluan discovered a common point.

"You mentioned five cases that were confirmed to be caused by the poison in the red-mortise monkeys. They were like the case in Pingxi Village where someone was scratched by a red-mortise monkey and then spread within a small area, resulting in the annihilation of all the people. Is that right?"

Li Gu said, "No, the saliva and claws of the red-mortise monkey are highly toxic and contagious. When Master brought the red-mortise monkey back to Baihua Valley, he told us that we must be careful when studying it and never get hurt by it.

This is the first epidemic caused by direct scratches and bites of red-branched monkeys in Pingxi Village and Ningxiang Village. Once the directly injured people enter the crowd and start spreading the disease, even Baihua Valley does not have an antidote. Once the disease spreads, it will cause large-scale infection of hundreds of thousands of people. More people will inevitably pay attention to it. Once a large number of people are involved, the court will also pay attention to it, but I have not heard of it.

Of course, there may have been epidemics caused by red-mouse monkey bites during this period, and since there was no cure, it was possible that all the people were wiped out.”

Feng Qingluan said: "In that case, if someone wants to use the poison of the red-mortar monkey to cause a group of people to kill each other or go crazy, they need to extract the poison from the red-mortar monkey's saliva and claws, and then develop a poison to poison a certain group of specific targets."

After hearing what she said, Xie Jin understood what she wanted to say:

"You mean this poison needs to be refined. The person behind it must be a master of poison or medicine. In addition, there must be poison refining equipment and venues."

Li Gu also suddenly realized and said:

"Yes, in Baihua Valley, there is a separate place for refining elixirs. The person behind this wants to use the red-mortar monkey to make various poisons, so there must be such an arrangement. The other party's skills are just as you said, and he is an expert in using medicine and poison.

Xue Zimo pondered, "There is a place for alchemy, and it is also a poison and medicine expert. Isn't the most reminiscent place the Hundred Flowers Valley?"

The room was silent for a few seconds.

Li Gu glared at Xue Zimo:

"You mean to say that my Hundred Flowers Valley violated the teachings of our ancestors and did not practice medicine to save the world and treat the sick, but instead made poison to harm the people?"

Feng Qingluan tried to smooth things over, "That's not what he meant. Zimo probably meant an existence similar to the Hundred Flower Valley. Can you think of any person or sect in the martial arts world?"

Jiang Qu said: "If we talk about those who meet the conditions, the Queen Kongkong of Wuxiang Divine Mountain, the Ten Thousand Snake King of Jinshui Island, and the Gu Du people in the southern border may meet the conditions. Except for the Gu Du faction in the southern border, the rest are independent people. According to our previous deduction, there is an extremely powerful organization behind the man in black, which does not meet the conditions."

Feng Qingluan touched his chin and said, "It seems that few people in the martial arts world can achieve this."

Xie Jin said: "There is another person, he is not from the martial arts world."

Feng Qingluan looked at him and asked, "Are you from the imperial court?"

Xie Jin said, "Well, Imperial Master Mitu is an expert in alchemy, and the emperor has also arranged a separate Thunder Tower for him to make alchemy. He can mobilize martial arts masters such as the Men in Black on a large scale, so he can do it too."

Feng Qingluan frowned, and Xie Jin said:

"Jiang Qu, go and collect the large-scale massacres that have occurred in the court and the martial arts world in the past three years as Li Gu mentioned, and find out the causes and consequences."

Feng Qingluan said: "Let's also check the poisoners and the national masters who meet the requirements."

Jiang Qu said: "Yes, Your Highness."

There is no need to mention the Gu and Poison faction in the southern territory. They are experts in using Gu and poison. Apart from the fact that their power is huge, it cannot be ruled out that there are hidden forces.

As for State Master Mitu, if he was secretly doing these things, what was his purpose?

Since we are talking about the national teacher, this can be considered a clue.

If it is not related to the National Master, other clues can also be found in these cases.

Feng Qingluan looked at Xie Jin. She had to say that this man reacted very quickly. He asked Jiang Qu to investigate the cases that had happened before and found a new breakthrough right away.

As expected of him, she admired his intelligence and decisiveness.

At this point, Feng Qingluan asked Li Gu one last question:

"Regarding your uncle who suddenly disappeared, he was also a member of the research team on the red mortar monkey. After he disappeared, did you try to find out where he went? Are there no clues about him?"

Speaking of Uncle Liuwu, Li Gu sighed:

"Master, like Master, likes to travel around the world in search of rare medicines. When they were still alive, they often went out, and it was common for them to disappear for a year or two. They say he disappeared suddenly, but in fact, he is not missing. It can only be regarded as him traveling again, but he has not returned for three years. We have also tried to find him, and heard that he went to Xilin after leaving Baihua Valley, and no one knew his whereabouts since then."

Feng Qingluan asked Xie Jin again: "Has Prince Rong met Imperial Master Mi Tu?"

Li Gu was surprised and asked, "Do you think that Master Mi Tu and my uncle are the same person?"

Feng Qingluan didn't say anything.

Xie Jin said, "I have seen him, but not his true face. Mi Tu came to the Great Xia Kingdom five years ago. He was recommended by someone and was appreciated by the emperor. He will only show up during major sacrificial activities. The rest of the time he stays in the Thunder Tower. He wears a mask all year round, so his true face is mysterious."

Jiang Qu said: "Li Gu's uncle disappeared three years ago, and the national teacher entered the Thunder Tower five years ago. These two people should not be the same person."

Feng Qingluan looked at Li Gu thoughtfully and said:

"I didn't mean to offend you. I just asked this question when I thought of it."

Li Gu said, "It doesn't matter. We are just discussing. We can talk about whatever comes to mind. But what are you investigating about the incident involving the red-branched monkey?"

Feng Qingluan said: "This is my private matter, it is inconvenient to disclose it to the public. Thank you for the clue you provided."

Let her have some direction to continue her investigation.

Li Gu nodded in understanding, and then became convinced:

"As expected, you are the woman that His Royal Highness Prince Rong has chosen. I underestimated you before, and I apologize to you here. The antidote to the poison that Baihua Valley has not yet developed, you have come up with it in just a few days. Your medical skills are indeed superb, and I admire you."

After the prescription proved to be effective, she sent a pigeon message back to Baihua Valley, asking her senior brother to prepare the antidote according to the prescription and to treat the patients in Baihua Valley.

Li Gu stared at Feng Qingluan and asked curiously:

"But I'm a little curious, how did you develop the antidote? What method did you use?"

Feng Qingluan said, "As the saying goes, there is an antidote within five steps of every poison in the world. I extracted an element from the blood of the red-mortise monkey and combined it with other methods to develop an antidote. The red-mortise monkey is indeed unique. It can both cure diseases and detoxify. It is very rare."

Feng Qingluan would not tell her that she used the medical knowledge passed down thousands of years ago, as well as the antidote developed by Western medicine and various sophisticated medical equipment. What Li Gu admired was not her, but the medical level that was far beyond this era.

Li Gu understood: "I see, I have to tell my senior brother about this. I have to bring the red monkey back to Baihua Valley and I won't let anyone with ulterior motives take it away and do evil to harm the people."
