Tang riddles

Zhao Shijun concluded that Shen Sui was poisoned by the red-tailed lizard from the Western Regions, and everyone hurriedly asked about the method of detoxification.Zhao made the gentleman unhurried and said:

"Those who don't understand this poison all say that there is no solution to this poison. But the old man doesn't think so. Back then, the master sneered at this poison, saying that it only needs one thing to cure it in an instant. It's just that it is extremely difficult to find this thing. Fortunately, I have collected it for a long time, so I can pick it up immediately." While speaking, he looked at the medicine boy accompanying him, and motioned him to take it out.

The medicine boy was holding a bamboo box in his hand, he opened the bamboo box at this moment, took out a pottery jar, uncovered the sealing mud, and handed it to Mr. Zhao Shijun.Zhao ordered the gentleman to open the cork of the can, and a strange smell of wine immediately filled the room.Zhao Shijun put on his gloves and said:

"The princess came to look for me and describe the red-tailed lizard, so I asked my apprentice to fetch it in advance, so as not to waste time by making an extra trip."

After speaking, he grabbed something and lifted it from the altar. When everyone looked closely, it turned out to be a root-shaped plant soaked in wine, which was similar to ginseng but different.

Zhao sent Junzi to cut a small piece of the root plant, grind it in a grinding pot, pour it into a bowl, and scooped up a spoonful of medicinal wine soaked in it, poured it on it, and let Shen Sui stay by his side all the time. Zhang Ruohan and Yingniang beside him helped Shen Sui up and fed the medicinal wine.Although Shen Sui was in a coma, for some reason, he subconsciously swallowed all the medicinal wine without leaking a single drop. After drinking it, he still felt unfulfilled.

Zhao sent the gentleman to say:

"Everything in this world is one thing that overcomes another thing. If there is a cause, there must be an effect, and if there is an effect, there must be a cause. The Tocharians use poisonous plants to breed poisonous lizards. The poison of poisonous lizards is not its own poison, but comes from that Poisonous grass. The poisonous grass is called "Yibo Qihe" among the snake witches, which comes from the Sanskrit spoken by the Tianzhu people, which means "venomous lizard grass". The master said that these snake witches have been passed down from generation to generation, and their ancestors came from Tianzhu Later, Tianzhu was invaded by the Da Yue clan in the Han Dynasty. At that time, these snake witches were captured by the Da Yue clan as slaves and taken to the area of ​​the Peacock Sea in Tocharo. But the root is an extremely valuable antidote. The root of the poisonous lizard is its most important part. The root of this herb is a good thing for nourishing the spirit and clearing the spirit. It is juicy, sweet, and extremely delicious. There are many animals and insects in the sky and on the earth. Birds cannot resist this temptation. In order not to end this vein, in the long evolution, in order to protect its own roots, poisonous lizards produce toxins on the stems, branches and leaves, poisoning animals that devour themselves. But this root, but On the contrary, it is non-toxic, and it is a rare treasure that can overcome all poisons, so it is extremely precious.

The master specializes in studying herbs, and took us brothers and sisters to travel all over the country and visit rare medicinal materials.When we were traveling in the Western Regions, we passed through the Tochara area, and the master discovered this secret. My master and apprentice were almost chased and killed by the snake witch.In the end, the four senior brothers were killed, and they finally escaped. They only dug up the roots of three poisonous lizard plants, soaked them in high-quality sake and sealed them.What happened back then is still fresh in my memory. For more than 40 years, the past has long been covered with dust, but today I met a destined person, Fuchen, and the medicine was finally unsealed, and it will see the light of day. "

Zhao made the gentleman sigh very much, while speaking, Shen Sui's complexion improved rapidly, his breathing calmed down, and the effect was immediate.This situation can not help but make everyone extremely amazed, and they also breathe a sigh of relief.Thanks to the presence of Mr. Zhao Shijun today, otherwise, Dalang's life would be in jeopardy if he couldn't find the root of the poisonous lizard.

"Zhao makes a gentleman rejuvenate, honoring Mr. Sun's title of 'King of Medicine' is well-deserved. Even if he has been riding a crane for many years, he is still a blessing to the world. Saving my life today is the grace of rebirth. Please accept my worship. With tears in her eyes, Tiao Niang bowed deeply to Mr. Zhao Shijun. Zhang Ruohan, Shen Jin, Hutuo and other Shen family members were beside her, and they also saluted with red eyes to express their gratitude.

Zhao Shijun hurriedly helped each other, and said with a smile:

"Hanging the pot to help the world is the responsibility of my generation. Master learns from Shennong and tastes a hundred herbs. I hope that all people in the world can stay away from illness and live a long and healthy life. Please hurry up, everyone, the old man can't deserve this great gift."

The crisis was resolved, and Li Jinyue's tense heartstrings were relieved.Li Jilan and Pei Min who came to help saw that Shen Sui was fine, so they wanted to leave, she hurriedly said:

"Both, thank you for your help today. It's inconvenient right now. When Bozhao gets better, the two of us will come to thank you. I don't know where you two are staying. Can you leave an address."

Li Jilan smiled, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said:

"The princess is so sincere, how can Ji Lan take advantage of the princess's kindness. Ji Lan is currently living in the Taiwei Palace in the Nanjide Square of the upper east gate, waiting for the princess at any time."

Li Jinyue looked at Pei Min again, Pei Min cupped his hands and said:

"The final general has just returned to Beijing from Beiping under the edict of the sage. Since he has no place to live in Luoyang, he is boarding in the Taiwei Palace like Li Daochang."

Pei Min is a child of the Pei family in Hedong. The Pei family in Hedong has been a family of princes since the Three Jin Dynasty, and they have been crowned with endless clothes.In recent years, the reputation has been extremely high. Pei Yaoqing, who is now a big celebrity in the court, is a representative figure of this family.And Pei Min is just an offshoot child, he practiced martial arts and joined the army, and his martial arts skills are superb, but he has never been reused. Some temperament.This time the sage suddenly called him back, Li Jinyue felt a little puzzled, and seeing him and Li Jilan going in and out, staying together for a moment, she couldn't help wondering, could it be that these two became good friends?

The more I think about it, the more I think it's possible. With such a talented and beautiful appearance, coupled with Li Jilan's usual style, I'm afraid that Pei Min, who is full of blood, won't be able to stand it at all.It was a matter of course for the thunder from the sky to set fire to the ground.Li Jinyue remained calm on the surface, but privately gossiped about the two of them.

After agreeing on the time and place for the next meeting, Li Jilan and Pei Min stopped bothering and left.Afterwards, Zhao Shijunzi gave another needle to dredge the blood vessels together with Xiongniang, forcing out a mouthful of black poisonous blood, and prescribed medicine for Shen Sui, and then told everyone:

"The poison of the poisonous lizard plant is a heart vein toxin, which can affect people's spirit and cause hallucinations. After detoxification, the heart veins are damaged, and the patient will faint for a while before waking up. This time can be as short as three days. It may take seven or eight days at most. During this period, the patient may wake up several times, but the consciousness is chaotic, the spiritual platform is unclear, and there will be crazy behaviors such as nonsense, and there is no need to be surprised, just calm down. Just don’t worry. You need to rest and rest, and don’t be disturbed by strangers. Follow the method I just gave once a day to force out the poisonous blood, and take the medicine on time until the blood color returns to the normal red color.”

Xiongniang and Zhang Ruohan wrote it down carefully, while Li Jinyue, who was at the side, heard it and "hummed" in her head.The saint limited five days to solve the case, two days have passed, and there are still three days left, if Shen Sui remains in a coma, who will solve the case?Li Jinyue herself has no clue about this case, but Chishi seems to know something.But now, it is impossible for Akashi to wake up and tell her in a short time.

It seemed that she had to find a way to delay the time.She frowned, and thought to herself, with her current position, it would be the worst policy to directly ask the saint for an extension, maybe she has to go to the East Palace.

Her expression changed, and all of them fell into Shen Jin's eyes.Shen Jin first whispered some instructions to the blue robin behind him, and the blue robin nodded and left the room first.Shen Jin stepped forward, tugged on Li Jinyue's sleeve, and motioned for Li Jinyue to go talk outside the house.Li Jinyue was a little surprised, but she quickly realized that she pushed Shen Jin out of the house, walked along the verandah, and stopped at the corner.

"Qin Nu, what do you want me for?" This was the first time Li Jinyue spoke face-to-face with Shen Jin after she knew Shen Jin's real identity.Li Jinyue had a warm demeanor, her voice softened unconsciously, and there was distress in her eyes.Poor, the lovely porcelain doll zither slave who was so cute back then, has become like this today.But she knew that Qin Nu was as strong as Chi Shi, so she would not show her love and compassion on her face.

The hands behind her back are slowly clenched, she will not let go of the real culprit who caused Qin Nu and Chishi to look like this!

[Princess Sister, can you understand my lips? 】Shen Jin gesticulated while speaking.

Li Jinyue carefully observed her lips and gestures, nodded and said:

"It's okay, speak slowly, I can understand."

Shen Jin nodded, then cooperated with gestures and said:

[Now, my sister is in a coma, and the case is urgent. As my younger sister, I am obliged to help my sister with justice.Although I am dull and not as smart as my sister, I have learned some skills to solve cases from my sister. If the princess doesn't mind, please tell me all the details of the case that my sister has found so far, and I will see if I can think about it Out one or two. 】

Li Jinyue nodded, and while thinking, slowly told Shen Jin the whole case in chronological order and in detail. After sorting it out, it seemed that her thinking had become a little clearer. Still not getting the point, he couldn't help frowning deeply, a little annoyed.

After listening to Li Jinyue's narration, Shen Jin pondered. Li Jinyue saw her right hand beating slowly and rhythmically on the armrest of the wheelchair, as if playing a piano.Not long after, Shen Jin seemed to have gained something, and said:

[I have some superficial views, and I said that I will discuss it with the princess sister.My sister has her own habit of investigating cases. She is used to finding a key point to draw out the whole case.My sister is very talented. When she comes into contact with a complicated case, she often has a special intuition. She can always find the most effective entry point of the case among the complicated clues.She often jokes with me, saying that her baby name "Chishi" really sounds like a critical judgment. What she has done all these years is actually to find the most critical red thread among the complicated clues. 】

Hearing this, Li Jinyue laughed. The origin of the baby name 'Chishi' has always been a mystery. This name was given by Chishi's father, but he never explained why he chose such a baby name.

[This time, sister's entry point should be the case that happened in Chaohu, Huainan Road seven years ago that she saw in the archives of Dali Temple.I noticed that there were several strange objects in the Chaohu case, one was a hollow bamboo pole, and the other was earth fire/powder for frying fish.In this case, something similar happened.First of all, the bamboo pole that General Wang found in the reeds may not be a fishing pole. I guess the bamboo pole may also be hollow, which needs to be checked later.In addition, there are black fire/powder residues that my sister found on the fence at the mouth of the underwater culvert, which is also consistent with the earth fire/powder in the Chaohu case.So I think that the hollow bamboo poles and gunpowder became the key to the Shi team's death case, which may be used to explain why the ten people seemed to run on the water for a certain distance before sinking to the bottom of the lake.

The second key point, which is also an unexpected discovery, is the red-tailed lizard from Tocharo in the Western Region that my sister encountered in the lake today.My sister said that someone deliberately put the red-tailed lizard in. I think what she meant was that someone used the red-tailed lizard to carry out some kind of secret operation in the underground ditch under the Imperial Palace Forbidden Garden.In the imperial palace, the waterways extend in all directions, especially the several large lakes in the palace garden, which are connected with the waterways outside the imperial city by artificially excavated culverts.Although these waterways have gates and fences to block access, people cannot pass through.But this red-tailed lizard can freely come and go in and out of it without hindrance, and without anyone noticing.And what exactly is it?The only thing I can think of right now is black fire/powder. 】

Li Jinyue was startled, and said, "What Qin Nu means is that someone used the red-tailed lizard to transport black fire/medicine into Xiyuan through the dark canal?"

[It's just a guess, and it can't be confirmed yet. I need to learn more about the habits of the red-tailed lizard and find more direct evidence before I can conclude. 】Shen Jin said, 【In addition, why only that team Shi died, and why this team was killed in the thick fog are very unreasonable things, I think there must be a reason.Perhaps, there are traitors hidden in this team, and it may be possible to secretly cooperate with the delivery of black fire/drugs.Moreover, the poison of the red-tailed lizard is also very strange, and it may be related to the ten people's madness and sinking into the lake. 】

Li Jinyue's eyes became brighter and brighter. She grabbed Shen Jin's hands and said repeatedly:

"Qin Nu! You are truly sisters, you are so clear-headed! Now that Akashi is fainting, I need help urgently. I know Akashi has always protected you very well, and I don't want you to show up. But now I really have nowhere to go , if the case continues without a clue, neither your sister nor I will have any good fruit. Would you like to help me?"

Shen Jin smiled, and said: [I have been sitting in a wheelchair all these years, helping my sister with some family affairs, and I don't have much ability.Thanks to the high opinion of the princess, if I can help, I will naturally not refuse. 】

"Great!" Li Jinyue became excited, "Don't worry, Qinnu, I will protect you. If your sister doesn't want you to show up, I won't let you show up. You just need to hide behind me and be my staff." Just leave the rest to me."

Shen Jin nodded, and said: [So, please ask the princess to go back and prepare immediately. First of all, we need to find a few murlocs with excellent water skills to cooperate with our investigation.Tomorrow, let's check under the Tianjin Bridge first. 】

The author has something to say: Modified

Beiping does not refer to Beijing.Beiping in the Tang Dynasty refers to Beiping County, and Pei Min is the guard of the Beiping County Army Mansion.At that time, Beiping County was roughly equivalent to the current Lulong area in Hebei.

In addition, it has been mentioned before, and I will emphasize it again: Mr. Zhao Shijun is a disciple of "King of Medicine" Sun Simiao.
