Chapter 357: All to Yellow Springs

Zhao Quanzhu held back his anger and asked, "Bingxin, you have only met Xu Jin a few times, how do you know that he is a good official?" ”

As soon as Xu Jin arrived in Fan County, he spoiled his own major events one after another, Zhao Quan had already had a murderous intention, and later listened to the words of his uncle Li Zixin, and he was even more determined to get rid of Xu Jin.

The purpose of Zhao Quan's visit today is twofold, the first is to find out the truth and see if Xu Jin has interrogated anything from the mouths of the captured White Lotus Sect, and the second is to find an opportunity to kill Xu Jin.

Xue Bingxin sandwiched a thin needle about half an inch long between her fingers, which was soaked in poison, as long as the acupuncture points at the back of the head were pierced, the poison would slowly penetrate into the human brain, and it would be seven days before she would die violently, and it was difficult to find out the cause of death, and in the end it could only be attributed to a sudden illness.

In fact, before coming to visit, Zhao Quan and Xue Bingxin discussed, Zhao Quan was responsible for covering, and Xue Bingxin was looking for an opportunity to attack. This kind of cow hair fine needle puncture is slighter than ant bites at acupuncture points, and the person who is pricked will not notice it at all, plus the poison will not attack until seven days later, so no one will suspect them afterwards, and Xu Jin can be killed without knowing it, so as to avoid the risk of exposure.

However, Xue Bingxin didn't make a move in the end, she wasted this great opportunity in vain, and she actually said that Xu Jin was a good official, how could Zhao Quan not be annoyed, if he changed to other women in the sect, he couldn't help but want to shave his ears and pull it over.

Xue Bingxin said seriously: "Although I have only seen it a few times, Xu Jin did a lot of practical things when he came to Fan County, opened a warehouse to release grain to help the victims, the Yellow River was also blocked, and he also arrested the corrupt officials in Fan County, and the victims outside the city were praising him." Why should such a good official who does things for the people be killed? ”

Zhao Quan sneered and said: "He is a messenger, it is his duty to open a warehouse to release grain and repair the river embankment, otherwise how to go back to the emperor, as for arresting corrupt officials to calm the anger of the people, maybe he is to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, let's see, the granary deficit case is too widely implicated, and in the end only a few ghosts will be arrested, and then it will be over." ”

Xue Bingxin distinguished: "That...... Then he also gave the Zou family fifty taels of silver, Zou Zhubo is a good official. ”

Zhao Quan's anger suddenly came up, and he reprimanded: "Senior Sister Xue, please don't be naΓ―ve, fifty taels of silver is a lot of money for ordinary people, but it is a fart for an official, and it is not easy for him to take fifty taels of silver out to buy people's hearts." ”

Xue Bingxin lowered her head and was silent, maybe Senior Brother Zhao was right, fifty taels of silver is nothing to an official, but he is definitely a kind person who can be so patient with a group of idiots. In fact, when she saw Xu Jin taking care of his sick wife in the dilapidated temple of Baoding Mansion, Xue Bingxin felt that Xu Jin was a good person, otherwise she would not have helped at that time.

Zhao Quan took a deep breath, calmed down his mood, and said in a slow tone: "Bingxin, I know that you think Xu Jin is a good person because he is good to those idiots." However, there are some people who are dignified in front of people, but dirty behind them, and sometimes what they see may not be true.

Even if he, Xu Jin, is indeed a good official, wouldn't it be okay if he killed Senior Brother Liao? Now Qiu Er and the others are still locked up in the county jail, and their lives are uncertain.

What's more, the more good and capable officials there are, the greater the obstacle to our great cause, and the more we must get rid of them as soon as possible. Now that Jiajing's kid has not ascended the throne, these two years are a good opportunity for us to do something, and when everything is ready, as long as the master ascends to the top and shouts, we will lead the army into the capital, and then the family hatred and national hatred of the senior sister will be avenged, and the heads of Yang Yiqing and the eunuch Zhang Yong will also be at your fingertips! ”

Xue Bingxin raised her head when she heard this, and said apologetically: "Senior brother, I was wrong, next time I will definitely kill the surnamed Xu." ”

Zhao Quanyin breathed a sigh of relief, held Xue Bingxin's white little hand, and said softly: "Senior sister, I'm afraid I won't have a chance for the time being, we will be suspicious if we come to the door too often, Xu Jin is a very shrewd person, and when we chatted just now, he still used my words from time to time, if I change to someone else, I'm afraid that the old man will be exhausted by him." ”

Xue Bingxin nodded, blushing slightly and withdrawing her hand.

Looking at the girl who rarely showed a shy form, Zhao Quan couldn't help but feel a little itchy, conquering such a frost beauty is undoubtedly a great sense of accomplishment for a man, coupled with Xue Bingxin's true identity, it is even more tempting. In fact, if it weren't for the sect leader Lu Mingzhen's repeated orders, Zhao Quan would have approached the water flow platform to get the moon first and turn Xue Bingxin into his own woman.

Zhao Quan pressed the urge to hug Xue Bingxin and kiss Fang Ze, and said in a low voice: "Senior sister, it seems that Xu Jin has not asked from Qiu Er and them for unfavorable news from their mouths, let's go, let's go back and discuss it, and strive to rescue people in the next two days." ”

Xue Bingxin nodded, and the two returned to their residence, and the dozen or so dart martial artists who were training in the courtyard stopped to say hello when they saw the two.

Zhao Quan nodded to everyone, kept walking, went straight into the inner hall, and brought Li Zixin, Qiu Fu, Sun Cai and other backbones to discuss countermeasures.

Qiu Fula's face stretched and said: "Senior Brother Zhao, let's talk about a fart, tonight we will touch the county government prison to save people, take advantage of the lack of people in those brocade-clothed eagle dogs, and simply do the sour son surnamed Xu together." ”

Zhao Quan shook his head and said: "No, there are still hundreds of Jinyi guards in Xu Jin's courtyard, and they have firearms in their hands, not to mention that there are guards outside the city, and a strong attack is the next strategy." We can't do the business of killing 1,000 enemies and losing 800 ourselves. ”

"His grandmother's, then let's go to the county jail to save people first, then the dog official will let him live a few more days, Qiu Gui and they don't know what it is like to be tortured by those brocade-clothed eagle dogs now." Qiu Fu said hatefully.

Xue Bingxin lowered her head silently, a little regretful that she didn't kill Xu Jin just now.

……

The county jail.

Xu Jin looked at the corpses lying in a row on the ground with a cold expression, the eighteen laborers who took the lead in making trouble and were arrested a few days ago, including the "thorn head" who was injured by himself with a firecracker, all of them were killed without exception, and they all had weird smiles on their faces, which was terrifying to look at.

Tongzhi Zhang Wensheng stood beside Xu Jin, covering his nose with a handkerchief, the smell of the cell was really bad at the moment, and there was vomit everywhere.

At this time, Li Shizhen was wearing a face towel to cover his mouth and nose, inspecting the corpses one by one, and after the inspection, he beckoned to Xu Jin, turned around and walked out of the cell.

The smell here was too bad, Xu Jin hurriedly followed, Li Shizhen came out of the cell, took off his scarf and said, "My lord, I checked it just now, and these people have indeed been poisoned by the Huangquan umbrella." ”

Xu Jin's sword eyebrows couldn't help frowning, this is too coincidental, he almost ate the Huangquan umbrella today, but the prisoners in the prison were all poisoned by this poisonous mushroom, and asked in a deep voice: "Jin Baihu, what the hell is going on?" ”

Since he came to Fan County, he has encountered two "attempted civil uprisings" in succession, and they were all instigated, if Xu Jin is not vigilant, then his IQ may have to be recharged, this time he arrested more than a dozen laborers who took the lead in making trouble, and originally wanted to let Jinyi Wei interrogate him strictly, especially the "thorn head" who is good at martial arts, as a result, now they are all hung up, which has to make people more suspicious.

Jin Baihu smiled bitterly: "It's not clear under the mark, my lord should ask them, these are the only ones left who were alive on duty last night." He gestured to the two jailers next to him.

The two jailers stood trembling, trembling like two frightened quails, and they still smelled of wine, presumably drunk on duty last night.

Xu Jin frowned and asked, "You were on duty last night?" ”

"Yes, we were on duty since yesterday afternoon, but it's none of our business, we drank some wine after dinner, and when we woke up the next day, we found that we were all ...... We're all dead, we're almost scared to pee! ”

Jin Biao shouted: "What Lord Qincha asks and answers, don't talk about fucking nonsense." ”

The two jailers shuddered, then nodded in agreement.

Xu Jin asked again: "What did the prisoner eat last night?" ”

One of the jailers scratched his head and said, "It looks like mushroom soup...... That's right, it's mushroom soup. ”

"Nothing else?"

The jailer shook his head and said, "No, it's mushroom soup, and the refugees outside the city can only drink one bowl of porridge per meal, and it's good for these prisoners to have mushroom soup to drink." ”

Xu Jin immediately ordered Jin Baihu to call the kitchen officer, only to find that the kitchen officer who was in charge last night also died in the room, and the way of death was exactly the same as those prisoners, apparently he also drank last night's mushroom soup.

Xu Jin asked people to trace the source of the ingredients, and it turned out that the mushrooms that cooked the soup last night were also purchased by the kitchen officer who hung up himself, and they were fresh mushrooms purchased from refugees at a very low price.

Xu Jin couldn't help but wonder, is this really a coincidence?

There are tens of thousands of refugees outside the city, and God knows which refugees the kitchen clerks bought the mushrooms from, so there is no way to check it out, so in desperation, Xu Jin had to order someone to transport all the corpses in the prison out of the city to bury the matter.

……

In the evening, the sky was raining lightly, and the bodies of more than a dozen laborers were dug up in the wild forest north of Fan County.

The thin man Qiu Fu was like a crazy beast, swinging his knife and slashing a mountain rock next to him, sparking sparks and flying stone chips, while shouting with a hideous expression: "Dog official, Lao Tzu and you will never die, never die......!" ”

Zhao Quan stood next to the corpses of Qiu Gui and the others, and said with a heavy expression: "Qiu Er, senior brother will take Xu Jin's dog head sooner or later to pay tribute to you, rest in peace!" ”

Several White Lotus Sect members nearby clenched their fists, their eyes showing fierce expressions, only Xue Bingxin looked at the corpses on the ground with uncertain eyes, although these corpses had traces of torture, but they had cracked their mouths and had a strange expression, which made her think of the poisonous mushroom called Huangquan Umbrella.

"Could it be ......" Xue Bingxin looked up at Zhao Quan in shock, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw the latter's heavy face.
