Chapter 1116: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (VI)
Wang Er excitedly walked into Zhou Fucai's drug store, leaned on the counter, and said excitedly: "Boss Zhou, something big has happened, do you know?" Zhou Fucai's heart skipped a beat, he looked at Wang Er, and shook his head: "I've been thinking about it these days. You don’t feel very well and haven’t gone out, what happened?”
"Hey, I knew you didn't know. It seems that my trip was not in vain." Wang Er leaned forward, "I just saw a lot of black-clothed soldiers entering Li County. The soldiers sealed off the entire county, and a large group of county soldiers left the city. I heard they were going to block the entire county’s transportation thoroughfares!”
Zhou Fucai's heartbeat quickened. He looked at Wang Er and tried to calm down, "Brother, I know you are always well-informed. What big thing has happened? There is such a huge formation? What are the origins of those soldiers in black?"
Wang Er laughed proudly: "Don't tell me, I really know these black-clothed soldiers, you know about the Supervisory Yuan, right? These are the soldiers of the Supervisory Yuan of the Han Kingdom. I have heard that these people are all killers." God usually doesn't come out, but once he does, something big happens to him."
"We have a big butt in Li County, what big trouble can happen?" Zhou Fucai turned around and pretended to sort out the medicinal materials, but he was thinking nervously in his mind. There should be no flaws in this operation, and it is impossible to trace him. I came. I carefully recalled the whole process in my mind. I felt a little more at ease. When I turned around, my face was as usual.
"Little brother, since you're here, you'd better bring a medicine back to your mother." Zhou Fucai skillfully grabbed a medicine for Wang Er.
Wang Er scratched his head, "Boss Zhou, I'm sorry, I forgot to bring money here today."
"A dose of medicine is not worth much, just take it and take it!" Zhou Fucai waved his hand.
"Thank you very much, Boss Zhou. I won't be polite. I'll tell you if there's anything new later!" Wang Er picked up the medicine and went out happily.
In Nancheng, Li County, a private courtyard was heavily guarded. Soldiers in black were holding weapons, almost completely surrounding the courtyard. This courtyard was Mao Wei's home.
In the hall, Mao Wei's father's coffin was still standing in the middle, with incense and candles lingering around. The neighbors who were helping with the funeral arrangements were dumbfounded as they watched the heavily armed soldiers filing in.
Tang He walked into the small courtyard, glanced at everyone with cold eyes, walked straight to the coffin, twisted three incense sticks from the offering table, lit them in the brazier under the table, bowed deeply towards the coffin, and placed The incense was placed in the incense burner, "Old man, I'm offended."
He turned around and said to the people behind him, "Let's get started!"
"Yes!" Several guards in black came over, opened the coffin lid, and revealed the body inside.
"My lord, my lord, this, this can't be done!" Seeing several black-clothed guards putting their hands into the coffin and actually trying to lift the body of the deceased out, an old man on the side suddenly jumped out and shouted tremblingly. .
"Who are you?" Tang He asked coldly.
"Sir, the grassroots are the leaders of this street. Mao Tao died, and his only son didn't come back. So the little old man gathered around the neighbors to restrain him. My lord, the dead are the most important, so we can't touch him lightly. Ah!" The old man's voice was trembling. It seemed that he mustered up the courage to stand up and stop these soldiers.
Tang He nodded, "In Xia Tanghe, the Supervisory Yuan serves. All affairs of the Mao family are now taken over by the Supervisory Yuan."
"But sir?" What else did the old man want to say? Liu Jin, the magistrate of Li County who was following Tang He, took a step forward and grabbed the old man, "Don't say any more. This matter is extremely involved, let alone You and even me have no right to interfere."
Obviously, the county magistrate Liu Jin was much more intimidating to the old man than Tang Han. When he heard the county magistrate's words, the old man said nothing more although his lips trembled.
Tang He nodded: "Head, right? I just want to ask you something, come with me!" Putting his hands behind his back, he walked out of the door and went straight into the side room. In the side room, the supervisory guard had already cleaned up, and All the people in the main room were driven out by the guards, and the door was closed with a bang.
"Has Mao Tao always lived here alone?"
"Yes, he used to live with his son Mao Wei. Later, Mao Wei was admitted to Jicheng Comprehensive University, and later he heard that he became an official. Mao Tao has been living alone, and his son sends money every month. return."
"How is Mao Tao's health?"
"No, I have angina pectoris. It was very serious a few years ago. Later, his son became able to make money and he also had enough money to hire a doctor, so he got better."
"Since it was already getting better, why did it suddenly disappear?"
"Sir, angina pectoris is an extremely dangerous disease. Sometimes it seems to be fine, but as soon as it attacks, it just disappears."
Listening to Li Chang's words, Tang He nodded, "Have any strangers or any strange people been here during this time?"
"No, our place is a relatively remote part of the county. Although there have been many people in Li County in the past two years, most of them are in prosperous places. There are very few outsiders here. If an outsider comes, everyone will remember it. It is true that no outsiders came during these days."
"you sure?"
"Sure."
"Mao Tao usually takes medicine. He always asks that doctor to see him. Do you know which pharmacy he gets medicine from?"
"You know, I know, Mao Tao often takes medicine. When he had no money, he asked Sun Laosan on our street to see a doctor and make some small remedies. Later, when he got rich, he went to see Dr. He, a famous doctor in the county. He said They said they were getting medicine from Dr. He's pharmacy," the chief said quickly.
Tang He turned his head and glanced at a guard in black beside him. The man nodded and immediately turned around and left.
"Okay, thank you, Chief!" Tang He stood up, "If there's anything I've missed, please let us know right away if you think of it."
The chief bowed repeatedly, "I don't dare, I don't dare." He turned around and walked to the door, then turned back and said, "Sir, Mao Tao has been an honest man all his life. Nothing will happen to him. It was his son who got into trouble." What?"
"Chief, this matter involves national affairs, so I'm sorry I can't tell you more!" Tang He waved his hand.
Tang He was the only one left in the room. He closed his eyes. The opponent this time was obviously much stronger than any opponent he had encountered before. Everything seemed normal, but this was normal. Behind the scenes, it was obviously too abnormal. Mao Tao had angina pectoris, and Mao Tao died suddenly. As an only son, it was normal for Mao Wei to come back to attend to the funeral. This would not arouse anyone's suspicion, but the problem involved Mao Wei. Identity is a complicated matter.
It was hard for Tang He to believe that this was not the result of a deliberate conspiracy by his opponent. But the intelligence from Qin and Yi Bin's urgent return showed that the people from Heibingtai had just entered Han and had no time to take action. So this Who will take action? Is it the ghost of the Chu State? Tang He shook his head silently. The ghost of the Chu State did not have such great energy in the Han Kingdom. It was only in the past two years that the Chu State truly They began to operate a network in Han Dynasty, but under the strong attack of the Control Council, they struggled. Such a sophisticated and linked conspiracy was definitely not something they could do.
"Sir!" The door was pushed open and an inspection guard walked in, "We have carefully checked and found that Mao Tao did indeed die suddenly from an angina attack. There was no sign of poisoning, nor was he murdered. He was normal. died of illness."
"How is this possible?" Tang He stood up in excitement and walked around the room several times, "It's impossible. Search, search, inside and out, search thoroughly for me, don't let go of any doubts."
"Understood!" The supervisory guard nodded vigorously.
Punching the wall hard, Tang He turned around and walked out of the house. As long as it was done by someone, it couldn't be without traces. If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing. No matter who did it, Tang He will not know it. I believe there are no flaws at all.
In the yard, an inspection guard was emptying out the potion from a medicine jar, pouring the dregs of the medicine onto a piece of white paper, and lying down to carefully examine the dregs. This inspection guard was well versed in pharmacology, and even the medicinal materials After being boiled to pieces, he can also identify which medicinal material it is by relying on the residue.
"Master Tang!" the supervisor suddenly shouted.
Tang He's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly walked over and squatted beside him. The supervisory guard carefully picked out a few pieces of residue from the black medicine residue, "My lord, this Mao Tao did not die of natural causes. He was murdered."
"How do you say that?" Tang He's eyes lit up.
"Sir, Mao Tao has a chronic disease of angina pectoris, but this orchid leaf should never appear in the medicine, because if it is in the medicine, for Mao Tao, it is not a good medicine, but a deadly poison. That's it." The supervisory guard carefully spread the leaves on another piece of white paper and looked at Tang He with bright eyes.
Tang He stood up and said, "Come here, arrest Dr. He who treated Mao Tao immediately!"
After finding the true cause of Mao Tao's death, Tang He could finally breathe a sigh of relief. At least, he had found a breakthrough point. "Bury Mao Tao properly and burn some paper money for me." He walked out without looking back. After entering the small courtyard, he wanted to go to the doctor He personally. Just as he walked out of the courtyard, he was startled by several people coming towards him.
"Vice President Yi, General Niu Ben! You are here too!"
Yi Bin's face was as dark as water, "The king is very concerned about this matter, so I came here personally, and General Niu Ben came here on behalf of Princess Ning. It is not enough to set up a guard in Li County. I have already issued an order to blockade the entire Tianhe River." People entering and exiting the county's main roads must be inspected. In addition, the Ministry of War has also notified the border troops to strengthen patrols, hoping to block them before they leave the country."
"I was careless!" Tang He said. "I should have done this from the beginning."
"This time we were all fooled. The dark and bright hands of Heibingtai were all fucking deceiving us. There was someone else who really did it." Yi Bin's face was as gloomy as dripping water, "And the person who did it was They have been lurking in the territory for a long time and have been planning for a long time. This time Black Ice Platform's operation is just to cover for them. Have you made any breakthrough here?"
"Mao Tao was indeed murdered!" Tang He said: "I have ordered the arrest of the doctor who treated him and prescribed medicine to see if a gap can be opened there." (To be continued)
