Chapter 3: The Man Behind the Scenes
Chen Shengyi hurriedly asked, "Xiaohao, what's the matter?"
Chang Sihao said: "Look!" The three of them gathered around, followed his direction, and saw that Qin Yi's open mouth was pitch black, but there was a wrinkled depression in the middle of the tongue, although it was not obvious, it could also be seen to be a small hole. Chen Sheng hurriedly copied the candlestick next to him, tore off the lampshade, and came over.
The candle flame flickered, the light flickered, the shadows inside the mouth kept changing, and a corpse stench mixed with the smell of spices wafted in the humid air, and the four of them could not help frowning as they got closer.
Qin Juexiang saw the wound, and his heart was shocked and angry: "There is no wound on the lower jaw, could it be that the uncle scolded him after he was caught, and the dog thieves clamped his tongue out and pierced it on it? ”
The three of them looked at it according to their words, and it was really good, and they couldn't help but be surprised.
Chang Sihao thought for a moment and handed out the candlestick: "Brother Chen, you come to hold the lamp." He went up and lifted the body up into a sitting position, and beckoned: "Master of the horse, please drive, come and dissolve the uncle's hair." ”
Ma Mingshao looked at Qin Juexiang, his eyes were inquiring, Qin Juexiang said: "What are you talking about? I forgot it so quickly? Brother Chang's words are my words! What are you stunned about?"
Ma Mingshao responded: "Yes, yes!" came up to take off the crown and untie the bun, and the four of them kept their eyes on it for a moment, all focusing on it.
With a little effort, Qin Yi's body spread out, revealing the top of his head, Qin Juexiang and Chen Sheng looked at each other, their fists tightened at the same time, and with a bang, Ma Mingshao also frowned slightly and gritted his teeth.
I saw a small four-pointed star-shaped wound in the center of Qin Yi's chimney door, the surrounding scalp was cracked, it was already dry and hard, embedded in the gap, slightly curled outward, and there was a deep hole in the skull under the skin, which was perpendicular to the small hole on the palate and tongue, and the area around the bone had also become jet black.
Chang Sihao looked at it carefully for a while with a calm face, and said: "This injury is obviously pierced from the top of the head, and it stops through the skull and tongue, and it does not penetrate. Judging by the color of the skull and tongue, it is only afraid that the blades used by the enemy are highly poisonous. ”
"I'll fuck his grandmother!" Qin Juexiang scolded: "If you stab like this, even if you are a ghost, you will die again, and you will actually feed poison on the weapon!"
Chang Sihao said: "No, probably the enemy's weapons themselves are fed with poison, not that they are afraid of death." ”
Qin Juexiang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, I'm confused." His eyes turned, and he continued: "Look at this wound, it should be caused by outer door weapons such as water thorns and Emei thorns, and there are really few masters who use this thing on the rivers and lakes...... Ma Mingshao hurriedly said: "Young master, the second master of the Chaozhou Mansion Shuiyin Hall, You Biao is the one who makes the water thorn, the boss of the Yin family in Linjiang Mansion and the master of the Yuezhou Mansion Zhiyue Hall, Liu Changhe, also uses this blade, as for the more Emei stabs, the famous ones are ......" Qin Juexiang suddenly stretched out his hand to stop it again, and said:" And so on, the water-splitting spine is generally an oblate pointed tip, and the Emei spine is mostly a regular round vertebrae, but this wound is in the shape of a four-pointed star, and those weapons cannot pierce it. ”
Chang Sihao's eyes flashed, as if he realized something, and said sideways: "Brother Chen, please take off your shirt." ”
Chen Sheng was slightly stunned, immediately understood, put down the candlestick, and acted according to his words.
Ma Mingshao and Qin Juexiang glanced at each other, both of them had doubts in their eyes, and they didn't know what they meant.
In the blink of an eye, the outer shirt was removed, revealing a moon-white coat, Chen Shengyi was in a hurry, he was too lazy to take it off again, and as soon as he tore it off, Qin Juexiang was stunned.
I saw that his full and round muscles were warmed by candlelight, and the thick chest hair that reached his lower abdomen made him look as if he was burning with an aggressive, wild fierceness, and there were many flesh-colored scars that had long healed from all over his chest, shoulders and abdomen, long and short, staggered and horizontal, and at first glance it seemed to be crawling with pale flesh worms.
This scene is the first time Qin Juexiang has seen it, and he only feels that compared with the scars all over his body, the scars on Lei Sheng's body are trivial. Surprised, my heart couldn't help but tremble: "I heard the uncle say that this surnamed Chen joined the Qin family when he first set foot in the rivers and lakes when he was young, and these must have been injured when he followed his grandfather to fight east and west, this big beard...... He ......"
Chang Sihao used his knuckles instead of rulers, measured the wound on the top of Qin Yi's head, turned around and searched between Chen Shengyi's chest and abdomen, looking for a cross scar, corresponding to the measurement, and said: "It's a little different, but it's not much." ”
Chen Shengyi: "The depth of the thorn is different, and the size of the wound should be slightly different, but the shape is indeed the same. ”
Chang Sihao nodded: "I think it's probably him." ”
The two of them talked, but Qin Juexiang was confused, and asked, "Big brother, what's going on?"
Chang Sihao looked at his eyes and said in a solemn voice: "What we are talking about is fake Yuan Liangyu." ”
Qin Juexiang was stunned for a moment, and then remembered: "That kid who instigated the Evergreen Gang to get along with us?"
Chen Shengyi: "Yes, this person later falsely claimed Qi Beishan in Wu Zetian Temple to deceive the people of the Hundred Swords Alliance." This cross wound on my body was given by him, and the blade he used, in addition to the black jade dragon scales, also had a black four-edged short thorn, which was his killer weapon for self-defense. ”
Ma Mingshao said: "There are many such external weapons on the rivers and lakes, although the wounds are similar, it is difficult to determine. The three of them all felt justified when they heard it, and they hesitated for a while. After a while, Chang Sihao said: "Brother Chen, I remember that day by the Yellow River, you said that the poison fed by Yuan Liangyu's black thorn is very strange, it must be unique, isn't it?" Seeing him nod, he continued: "Then let's take some of this poison from the uncle's body, put it on the livestock, and observe whether the effect is the same as when you were poisoned before, wouldn't we be able to tell it?"
Chen Sheng was overjoyed, and shook his head again: "No, the peculiarity of this poison lies in the internal reactions and feelings of the body, the appearance is only black, and it is not much different from other ordinary poisons, what is the use of using it for livestock?"
The four of them fell silent again.
Qin Juexiang's eyes rolled, as if he thought of something a little happy, he glanced at Chen Shengyi, but he snorted lightly in his nose and shook his head.
Suddenly, Chen Shengyi picked up the short knife that Chang Sihao used to dissect the corpse next to him, and shouted: "Uncle is offended!" waved his hand and stabbed Qin Yi's corpse in the mouth-
This sudden attack startled the three of them, and Qin Juexiang shouted: "What are you doing!" stretched out his hand to stop it, but saw that Chen Shengyi had already withdrawn the knife, turned his wrist, reversed the tip of the knife, and stabbed it into the ground with a thud.
Qin Juexiang's eyes widened: "You...... You ......" but under the heart is a joy: "Hey, how will he know what I think?"
Chen Shengyi's movements were extremely fast, and the incident happened suddenly, although Chang Sihao was next to him, he couldn't stop it, he hurriedly stepped forward and hugged him, and said eagerly: "Brother Chen, are you crazy?
"It's fine. ”
Chen Sheng stretched out his hand to connect several of his acupoints, took a deep breath, gritted his teeth and held back, slowly pulled out the short knife, and a black gas immediately spread out from the wound.
Qin Jue said: "You stupid person! Even if you want to test the poison, just cut a little finger, how can you stab this fatal place?"
Chen Shengyi smiled reluctantly: "I have measure." It's been a long time since I was last poisoned, and I'm afraid I won't remember how I felt when I stabbed somewhere else......"
Originally, Qin Juexiang looked at him, just thinking: "Livestock don't express the feeling of poisoning, since you have been poisoned, why don't you sting yourself again?" I'm afraid that the old boy will be reluctant." So he snorted and shook his head, but he seemed to have a mind with himself, and he really did it, and he couldn't help but secretly admire, and suddenly reacted: "He wants to test the poison, why don't you ask for instructions first?" I must be afraid that I will not allow him to use the knife on the uncle again." The old guy always takes matters into his own hands and doesn't take me seriously. ”
His temper came up, and he wanted to scold a few more words, but when he saw Chen Sheng sitting on the ground, he closed his eyes, knowing that he was feeling after comparing the two poisonings, he barely held back, and thought: "Your grandmother's, this knife doesn't care about you." ”
The sound of rain outside gradually stopped, and the night was deeper, but the sky was much clearer, and it seemed very clear. Chen Sheng's body was originally stiff and motionless, but slowly, involuntarily, he became slightly trembling, and the beads of sweat on his forehead became dense and large, gathered together, dripping down, and the skin at the wound was black and dry, and there was no bleeding. Qin Juexiang usually in addition to the tricky, occasionally like to play with some poison, seeing this scene, knowing that it is a sign of poison, it is definitely not contrived, the secret way This poison has been a long time, and just now it was only stained on the tip of the knife, but it is still so powerful, the toxicity is so strong, it must not be under the emerald water spirit snake that he has played. Ma Mingshao watched from the side, also looking anxious and worried.
Chang Sihao had seen Chen Sheng's appearance after being stabbed that day, and now when he saw that the skin on his wound was dry, his heart tightened. After a long while, I saw Chen Shengyi snort lightly, his eyes opened, his expression was both happy and worried, and his voice was low and hateful: "It's him...... , it was he who ......" after a while, and continued: "I should have thought of it a long time ago. On that day, Cangda Jianyan said that the contradiction between the Qin family and Juhao Pavilion was planned and provoked by the imperial court assigned by Dongchang, so this fake Yuan Liangyu was most likely a person from Dongchang, so I was afraid that before the battle of the Qin Mansion, they would have already lurked on the side. ”
Qin Juexiang rolled his eyes and said, "What kind of good thing is Juhao Pavilion, even if no one provokes us, they haven't been targeting us for a day or two!"
Chen Shengyi didn't seem to hear his words, his eyes were far away, and he still muttered to himself: "The Hundred Swords Alliance and we are friends and not enemies, Juhao Pavilion has gone away, looking at the entire rivers and lakes, except for Dongchang, who else can have the strength to wash away the blood of the rudder overnight? And they are ruthless, far beyond the reach of martial arts people, and the purpose and motive are also quite obvious, hey, I feel that I have exhausted my brains, and I actually ignored them......"
Chang Sihao said: "Don't be busy talking about this, let's take a look, which of these medicines is detoxifying?" said and held a few vials in the palm of his hand, it turned out that he knew that Chen Shengyi usually carried all kinds of medicines, so he had already searched out of the clothes he took off just now for first aid.
Chen Shengyi gently pushed his hand away: "This poison, my medicine can't solve it." ”
Chang Sihao's expression changed immediately, thinking that after you were poisoned last time, thanks to the rescue of the old man Baofu, he escaped, and now there is no medicine, but where can I find him?
