Assassin Yin

[Chasing Murder] 01

The accident happened in an instant, and the princess fell down clutching her neck.Zhang Long and Zhao Hu's complexion turned pale in an instant, and Zhan Zhao was stunned by this sudden change for a moment.But he reacted quickly, ran forward in a few steps, exchanged glances with the pale-faced A Yin, and quickly picked up the princess and went upstairs.

Ah Yin followed closely, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu had been on the job for many years, so they naturally understood the important task at the moment, the two looked at each other, and then walked towards the back kitchen.

After Ah Yin and others entered the room, Zhan Zhao had already put the princess on the bed.Before Zhan Zhao could speak, Ah Yin stepped forward to feel her pulse.

"...It was the poison in my body three years ago, but it seemed that a few new poisonous herbs had been added, which made the poison more violent."

A Yin said with difficulty.The poison three years ago was indeed a rare and strange poison in the world. After being poisoned, the poison would recur every few days. It makes one's scalp tingle just thinking about it, the poison the princess is suffering from is even stronger, which shows the cruelty of the person who poisoned her.

Three years ago at the headquarters of the Niangniang Temple, after Ah Yin and Zhan Zhao said goodbye like that, Zhan Zhao didn’t forget to drag A Yin to search for the antidote first——Master Lu, who made the poison, refused to give the antidote to life or death The formula, so the two had no choice but to search like headless chickens. Fortunately, in the end, they actually found it in the boss's study.

After three years, the shadow of the Empress Temple has not dissipated.

Ah Yin only felt his hands and feet were cold, and he was in a trance for a moment.Fortunately, she soon regained her composure, if something happened to the princess, not to mention everyone present, the entire Kaifeng Mansion would have to pay for it.

Suppressing her mind, she said to the frowning people: "In the past three years, I have not forgotten the pharmacology and toxicology in my spare time. I have also flipped through the antidote left over from that year many times. The prescription that slows down the toxicity is still okay, it's just..."

Zhan Zhao handed her a cup of tea, Ah Yin looked up at Zhan Zhao, but saw that although he was facing a catastrophe, those black eyes seemed to have extraordinary magic power that could calm people down, and her heart trembled. Drink that cup of hot tea in one gulp.

Zhan Zhao said: "It's just that the person who poisoned him has to be found as soon as possible, so that's the best policy."

A Yin sighed, and said: "That pastry was originally on my table, so the person who poisoned it must have come after me, but unfortunately the princess took a bite first, which led to the current situation."

Zhan Zhao frowned, and said, "In addition, this poison is an improved version of the Niangniang Temple's drug, so we can be sure that it is a fish that slipped through the net of the Niangniang Temple."

Up to now, I hate Ah Yin to the bone, and he is a person who is good at poisoning.In fact, it is very easy to guess, but it is Master Lu who is loyal to the boss.It's just that Master Lu should have been captured that day, and after three years, he was beheaded when he should be executed, and exiled when he should be exiled. Why can he use this free body to do evil now?

As if seeing Ah Yin's doubts, Zhan Zhao said: "On that day, Master Lu's left leg was broken by Yutang, and he was handed over to the local government to deal with it. He committed a lot of evil and deserved to be sentenced to death."

Ah Yin sighed: "Master Lu's kung fu can be regarded as a good one, maybe after breaking his leg, he can still escape from that deep prison."

The prescription has been written down, Zhang Long was sent to buy the decoction, and Zhao Hu continued to stay in the store to investigate.

Inside the room, Ah Yin glanced at the princess's face, and said, "Master Lu wanted to poison me, but by mistake, the princess was poisoned. I think...he hates me so much, he must come again of."

Zhan Zhao smiled wryly and said, "Princess should not stay long when she leaves the palace. I don't know when Master Lu will show up."

A Yin also smiled wryly: "Even if he shows up, it's not easy to ask him to hand over the antidote."

Zhan Zhao stretched out his hand to straighten her curled hair, but when he was about to withdraw his hand, A Yin's hand suddenly stretched out to hold her.

"If something happens to the princess, don't mention the marriage, we're afraid..."

Before he finished speaking, A Yin was interrupted by Zhan Zhao: "Don't be afraid," he said, "The princess will be fine."

In such a crisis, Ah Yin had to force himself to calm down, and calm down a little more.She stabilized her mind and said: "The princess is going on tour in a low-clothes. Master Lu must not know the true identity of the person he poisoned. He didn't succeed this time, and he hates me to the bone. I finally appeared in his sight. He'll be on the lookout for another opportunity soon."

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "The identity of the princess is a top secret, he must not know about it."

A Yin said: "It's also fortunate that he didn't know... If he knew, he might feel that he was attached to the death of the royal family, and you and I would have no way out, and we would never appear again."

Zhan Zhao was silent, and after a while, he frowned again and said, "He hates you so much, doesn't it...he really wants to watch you die so that he can be satisfied?"

Ah Yin pondered for a moment, nodded and said: "Master Lu, although he has the face of a righteous man, he has an extremely vicious temperament. His feelings for the boss are so complex and profound that I feel scared. The boss died in the My hand——he had his leg broken by Bai Yutang at the time, lying on the ground watching me stab the boss to death with a sword, that kind of resentment... can make him do anything."

At this moment, Ah Yin actually complained about himself three years ago - if he hadn't been so excited, if he could have calmed down a bit, and dealt with Master Lu with a sword before making any plans, then today's matter would not be the same.

Master Lu's love and support for his boss is beyond ordinary people's understanding...or is it...attachment?This feeling had already been eerie and terrifying when Ah Yin was still in the Niangniang Temple.If you have to sum up Master Lu's feelings with a simple word or expression, perhaps it is more appropriate to call it "love".

——It is a kind of "love" that has no self at all. It regards itself as a vine wrapped around a big tree, and lives by relying on the big tree as if without bones.Under this kind of emotion, he can accept the humiliation that ordinary people cannot accept. The boss regards him as an obedient and docile dog lying at his feet, but he... unexpectedly thinks that as long as the boss needs him, he can be regarded as a dog. Also enjoy it.

Thinking about it so carefully, the boss's secret technique of manipulating people's hearts is really scary.

A Yin shuddered involuntarily.

During the conversation, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu had already returned.Ah Yin sat by the bed and began to feed the princess medicine. The two who came back from the outside took advantage of this gap to talk about what they had just gained.

There are indeed traces of poisoning in the kitchen - presumably the person who poisoned did not clean it up carefully.

Ah Yin couldn't deny it——Master Lu's heart was dead at the moment the boss died three years ago, and the only reason he is still alive now is that he wants to take revenge.And when the revenge is completed, he probably will end it on his own, so there is really no room for himself before and after the action.

——From this point of view, it might not be too much to say that his next attack was a suicide attack.

On the other hand, Zhao Hu went back to Kaifeng Mansion, and explained the situation here to Master Bao, Mr. Gongsun, that this matter cannot be dealt with with great fanfare, and the best way is naturally to solve it quietly in a short time.The Kaifeng Mansion has sent people to rush to the yamen where Master Lu was imprisoned, in order to find out how this prisoner escaped the heavy control.

On the other hand, Ah Yin had to be extremely careful when eating and drinking. Although Ah Yin had to be used as bait to lure Master Lu, this poison must not be ignored.Therefore, the food and tea that come in and out of this house must go through the silver needle drug test.

Kaifeng Mansion also dispatched a team of yamen servants, put on casual clothes, and quietly lived in this inn, as soon as Master Lu appeared, he was told to go and never return.

After all the preparations were done, the princess woke up.
