Chapter 186 Suspicion
The meaning of that look couldn't be more obvious.
Immediately, a general couldn't help but jump to his feet and said: "Don't slander others, how could we assassinate the coach!"
Shen Li said lightly: "You were able to assassinate the commander-in-chief in the Zhenshuo Army's camp, yet so many of your highly skilled generals didn't even catch the assassins. I don't doubt that you have a traitor and that the assassins are cooperating inside and outside. Do I have to doubt that you have nothing to lose but nothing to do?"
Shen Li asked in reply, making the general blush.
At the same time, the old man carrying the mutton soup entered the barracks.
Shen Li saw the barracks door opening and closing out of the corner of his eye.
There was a dark shadow behind him.
Oh ho!
Something is going to happen!
we know! But we won’t tell!
With his eyes closed, Shen Li looked at Su Heng.
"I think you know better than me about the abilities of the generals of your Zhenshuo Army.
Being able to assassinate Duke Zhenguo in front of so many generals in the military camp and then escape unscathed. Based on my many years of experience in handling cases, this is an internal crime.
Your Suppressing Shuo army is like a copper wall and an iron wall, who can let outsiders in? "
The shadow behind Shen Li
Everything you said is right, you assassin who assassinated Duke Zhen Guo!
Even though Su Heng looked down on Shen Li and was extremely hostile to Shen Li, Shen Li's words still easily planted suspicion in his mind.
Su Heng was stubborn. Of course he firmly believed that under the leadership of Zhen Guogong and him, the Zhen Shuo army's defense was like an iron wall. How could assassins from outside succeed.
Can.
Are you really one of your own?
Eyes lowered slightly, suspicion flashed in Su Heng's eyes.
Looking at Su Heng's expression, Shen Li snorted coldly.
"I have given you clues about the assassination of Lord Zhen Guo. I believe it will not be difficult to solve the case with your wisdom and understanding of them.
Now, could you please lead the way to the munitions warehouse? I'm going to investigate the case of munitions reselling. "
Just after Shen Li finished speaking, before Su Heng could speak, a scream suddenly came from the barracks, and then a man dressed as a soldier ran out of the barracks in panic.
"Your Majesty, it's not good, the Duke suddenly has a lot of big bumps on his body."
Su Heng was the eldest son of Duke Zhen Guo, so naturally he was invited by Duke Zhen Guo to be named the crown prince of Zhen Guo Duke's mansion.
After hearing this, Su Heng's face suddenly turned pale and he ran towards the barracks.
Shen Li lifted his heels.
In the barracks.
The old man who had just brought the mutton was checking the pulse of Duke Zhen Guo.
He was half kneeling on the ground, sweating.
The Duke of Zhen Guo was lying on the bed with his face completely white, and there were four or five big bulges on his exposed arms.
Shen Li remembered that these locations were where he stabbed Duke Zhen during the fight yesterday.
Su Heng ran towards the bed in a few steps and grabbed the old man, "What's going on! Why did my father become like this?"
The old man was so panicked that he lost all consciousness.
"Your Majesty, I don't know either. The Duke of Guo just woke up and said that he wanted to drink mutton soup. I thought that the mutton soup is highly nutritious and will be beneficial to the Duke of Guo's recovery, so I brought it over.
Unexpectedly, before the cup of mutton soup was finished, all the injured places on the Duke's body were swollen. "
Su Heng angrily kicked the table next to the bed.
There was a cup of mutton soup on the table.
The moment he landed, Shen Li said: "Isn't it because the mutton soup was poisoned?"
Su Heng's kick that he kicked out with anger was stopped abruptly by Shen Li's words.
His complexion suddenly turned pale.
He grabbed the old man's neck and shoved him to the mutton soup, "Check!"
As soon as Su Heng let go, the old man immediately staggered in front of the table, wiped the sweat from his forehead with shaking hands, and took out the silver needle from the medicine box on one side.
The silver needle pierced the mutton soup.
For a moment, all the generals who came in were holding their breath and staring at the small cups of mutton soup.
The air seemed to freeze at this moment.
In the blink of an eye, the old man pulled out the silver needle.
The needle is jet black.
There were gasps of air coming from the generals.
Shen Li immediately raised his hand, "Come here, take control of the general camp kitchen. No one present is allowed to leave!"
He carries his own majesty, and that kind of momentum is unstoppable.
What's more, at this moment, the Duke of Zhen was poisoned in his own camp.
All the generals also murmured in their hearts, remembering what Shen Li had just said outside the camp.
Su Heng did not respond to Shen Li's order. He grabbed the old man and said, "What poison!"
The old man lowered his head and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty, later on, if the silver needle turns black, it can only be judged to be poisonous. As for the poison, we have to check it from the Duke of Guo."
"Then check it out!"
The old man stumbled back to Zhen Guogong's bed again.
Half-kneeling on the ground, he took a new silver needle, roasted it on the candlelight, and used the silver needle to pierce the big bag on Zhen Guo Gong's arm.
Duke Zhenguo hissed in pain.
"Dad, how are you?" Su Heng rushed forward.
However, Zhen Guogong did not really wake up.
The old man's method of examining Duke Zhen's injuries was basically the same as the doctor's method of examining Zhou Huaishan yesterday.
After checking it, the old man reported back to Su Heng, "Master Shizi, this is Gastrodia Powder."
"Is it possible to cure this poison?"
"It can be solved. The antidotes are all ordinary medicines. They just need a special medicine, which is not common."
"What?"
"Eagle bones that are over 20 years old are ground into powder and mixed with medicine to cook."
Everyone knew that the Duke of Zhen Guo kept a war eagle.
The war eagle has been with Lord Zhen Guo for at least twenty years.
Meet detoxification conditions.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Only Su Heng looked extremely cold.
Yesterday, an assassin came to kill his father. During the chaos, his father hurriedly wrote a letter asking for help and sent a war eagle to the private army.
The original plan was that even if the army could not capture the assassin, the private army could outflank the assassin and block the assassin.
But the war eagle flew out yesterday and has not returned yet.
Originally, Su Heng didn't take this matter to heart, but now, Duke Zhen was poisoned and needed eagle bones to detoxify, and War Eagle was not around.
This is strange.
Is it just such a coincidence?
There are so many coincidences in the world.
Shen Li's words just now echoed in Su Heng's mind again due to some strange coincidence.
Is this really an inside job?
Su Heng's cold eyes fell on the generals in the camp.
Who could it be?
Father treats none of them lightly, who on earth could do such a thing!
Looking quickly at the generals, Su Heng said to the old man: "This poison, when is the latest?"
The old man couldn't stop talking as Su Heng said, and continued: "My lord, the injury was already serious. This Gastrodia powder is highly toxic. If the poison cannot be detoxified within three hours, I'm afraid."
He paused, not daring to continue.
"How about just being afraid?"
"If the poisoned part of the Duke's body was only on his arm or somewhere, it could be cut off to save his life, but there are injuries on the Duke's back and abdomen.
The poisonous nature of Gastrodia Powder is evil. If the body is healthy and there are no external injuries or injuries to muscles and bones, this poison will not have any effect.
However, if one suffers from trauma, even if it is just a sprained foot, the poison will attack violently. "
Su Heng
Then this poison was just targeted at his father!
