Chapter 148: Prepare to Clean Up (1/2)
"Dear Master, this thing is called [Half-Step Down]. It is a poison that can kill innate warriors."
"This poison acts very quickly. It takes less than three breaths to poison an innate warrior to death."
"But innate warriors, especially ordinary people who have never practiced, will be poisoned to death if they can't even take a step, so it is called [half-step fall]."
"However, although [Half Step Down] is colorless and odorless, it also has a fatal flaw, which is that it has a peculiar light fragrance."
"Not only the innate warriors, but also the warriors above the acquired blood exchange realm, you can smell this light fragrance even if you get close."
After Master Hao inspected the corpses at the scene and the [Half-Step Down] poison wrapped in true essence in Jiang Bokao's hand, he stood up and respectfully reported to Jiang Bokao.
"Sure enough, there is a strange light fragrance, but I seem to have smelled this kind of smell before?"
After listening to Master Hao's words, Jiang Bokao put the pinhead-sized [Half Step Down] in front of his nose and sniffed.
Then he asked with some doubts.
The portion was still too small. If Master Hao hadn't mentioned it, Jiang Bokao wouldn't have noticed this insignificant smell.
"It's good to be familiar with it, because the main material used to make this [Half-Step Down] is the Chunyuan Spirit Fruit, and the Chunyuan Spirit Fruit is mutated from many Chunyuan Fruits, so [Half-Step Down] The smell is very similar to that of Chunyuan fruit.”
"However, although the Chunyuan Fruit can be seen everywhere in my great Zhou Dynasty, wanting the Chunyuan Spirit Fruit is like looking for a needle in a haystack, so this [half-step] is also very rare. This is also the second time in so many years that I have This is the first time I’ve seen this [half-step fall].”
Master Hao touched his long gray beard.
"I said why is it so familiar? It turns out to be the smell of Chunyuan fruit."
"No wonder the murderer would put this poison on the Chunyuan fruit. They complement each other."
Jiang Bokao nodded suddenly.
The people watching on the side also blacklisted Chunyuan Guo in their hearts.
Even Li Yan is like this.
As a poisoner, he knew how powerful this poison was, so he was even more afraid.
Jiang Bokao reached out and made a move. There was still half a basket of Qingyuan Fruit left in the distance, and one flew out and landed on his hand.
"Tell me, is this Qingyuan Fruit originally part of the purchase plan, or was it purchased temporarily?"
In front of him, hundreds of people were kneeling, all of whom had held the batch of food given to the messenger.
At this time, after hearing Jiang Bokao's words, the dozen or so people at the front trembled and turned pale.
They were the group of people who followed Li Yan to buy ingredients.
Then, most of them looked at one of them in unison.
As a result, this person instantly became the focus of the scene.
Li Yan also looked over and was immediately happy. This person was Li Hong's confidant.
When Li Yan was pretending to be Li Hong, this guy was flattering him all the time. He was really a bitch.
"Return, report back to Dao Gong, it's that guy Li Hong. That guy just made it up on the spur of the moment. It's none of our business. It's really none of our business."
The man answered Jiang Bokao's words tremblingly.
At this time, there was no intention to defend Li Hong in his words, but he just wanted to distance himself from the relationship.
"Where is Li Hong?"
Jiang Bokao shouted at the hundreds of people kneeling on the ground, but no one looked up.
The scene suddenly fell silent.
However, soon, this heavy tranquility was broken by a soldier from the Shannan Army.
"Master Qi, we have found out that Li Hong left the house an hour ago and is missing."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood that it was Li Hong who had poisoned him.
"That is to say, as long as this person named Li Hong is caught now, the truth will be revealed, right?"
Yun Mi, who was listening with a cold face, interrupted at this time.
"Indeed, as long as we can capture this person alive, our Jiang family has many ways to make people tell the truth."
Jiang Congjun answered from the side.
After Kong Tianyang and others heard the conversation between the two, their eyes glowed with hatred.
Obviously, if Li Hong is really caught by the Jiang family, after squeezing out all the information the other party knows, Kong Tianyang will probably come and torture him.
Soon, however, reality shatters their illusions.
"Report, Lord Dao Gong, Li Hong has been found."
A Shannan Army soldier rushed from a distance, came to Jiang Bakao, and saluted respectfully.
Hearing this, everyone else looked surprised, but Jiang Bakao frowned.
"Is it alive?"
"Master Qi, he is dead. The body was found under his bed. According to the brother who found it, he has been dead for some time."
The soldier told everything he knew.
"Sure enough, it seems that Li Hong is pretending to be someone. Now we are in trouble."
Jiang Bokao thought to himself.
Others thought of this immediately after hearing the soldier's words.
Suddenly, the originally excited expression cooled down instantly.
"Okay, let's tidy up this place. Arrange the best treatment for the injured messengers, arrange new residences for the uninjured ones, and do the security work in place. I don't want to see any more accidents."
"Then, take these people down."
"Special Envoy Yun, Congjun, you two come with me."
Jiang Bokao began to issue a series of orders.
Then, the Shannan Army began to act in an orderly manner.
After a cup of tea, Jiang Bokao and the others arrived at the core of the Taoist Mansion, where Jiang Bokao worked.
It is very large and there are many people inside, all of whom are officials who help run the entire Shannan Road.
They can solve ordinary things by themselves, and even Jiang Bokao will not interfere too much.
He spent more time on cultivation and worked hard to improve his cultivation.
Because, as long as he maintains the absolute strength of himself and the Jiang family, no one will dare to violate it.
"Good Lord."
"This subordinate has met Mr. Dao."
When Jiang Bokao appeared in front of everyone, everyone put down their work and quickly stood up to salute.
"No need to be polite, just keep working."
Jiang Bokao's gentle voice spread in everyone's ears.
"Thank you, Mr. Daogong."
Everyone thanked him in unison.
Afterwards, Jiang Bokao brought Yun Mi and Jiang Congjun to the reception room.
The maid served tea and snacks to the three of them and then left.
"Special Envoy Yun, how do you want to handle this matter?"
Jiang Bokao held a fine tea cup and sipped the spiritual tea with a hint of spiritual energy, and asked Yun Mi directly.
"What do I want to do with it? Jiang Daogong, what do you mean by this?"
Yun Mi frowned slightly and looked at Jiang Bokao doubtfully.
"Well, since Special Envoy Yun doesn't want to make it clear, then let's make it clear."
"Now there are two choices before Special Envoy Yun."
"One is to put this matter on the heads of those rebellious people [Red Blood Destroyed the Zhou Army]. Then you can see the heads of these people early tomorrow morning. After that, you can return to the royal city with peace of mind."
"The other one, wait until we find the real murderer, and then give justice to your men."
"It's just that you also know that a person who acts so carefully will never be easily found by us, so it will probably delay you a lot of time."
"Perhaps, when Wangcheng has solved the threat from Dayue Kingdom and sent people to pick you up, the real murderer could not be found."
"No matter which one you choose, we support it."
Having said this, Jiang Bokao paused for a moment, and then continued:
"As I promised before, I will give you an answer today."
"Your choice is my answer."
Then Jiang Bokao stopped talking and concentrated on drinking tea.
The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became strangely quiet.
After listening to Jiang Bokao's words, Yun Mi showed a thoughtful and frowning expression.
Jiang Congjun sat quietly opposite Yun Mi, looking at Yun Mi, he wanted to see what decision this woman would make.
Yun Mi didn't think about it for long before his face returned to its usual calmness.
She stood up, glanced at Jiang Bokao and the two, and said, "I hope to see the heads of those mice tomorrow."
After that, he left the reception room without looking back.
After Yun Mi left, Jiang Congjun waved his arm and released his true energy. A strong wind blew in the reception room, closing the door that Yun Mi had left open.
"Clan leader, what will we do if she chooses another one?"
Jiang Congjun asked for advice.
"No matter what choice she makes, the initiative is in our hands, and the final result will not change."
"Whoever I say is the murderer is the murderer."
Jiang Bokao looked at Jiang Congjun: "Are you clear?"
"It's clear, patriarch."
Jiang Congjun responded quickly.
"In that case, I'll give you three tasks."
"Clan leader, please give me your instructions."
"First, close the net and let the men of the five surnames take action to keep an eye on those people who destroyed the Zhou army with red blood. I want to see the heads of all of them before the fifth update tomorrow."
"If one of you escapes, you are the only one I should ask."
"Second, trace and find the real murderer. I want to see who is behind this incident."
"Third, clean up the Taoist Mansion and the Jiang family, and fix some loopholes. I don't want this to happen to our Jiang family."
"Understand?"
At this moment, Jiang Bokao finally showed his majesty as the leader of a group.
In the entire reception room, under that shout, a strong wind suddenly rose and then calmed down quickly.
Even though they were both in the Ningsha state, Jiang Congjun couldn't help but lower his head under Jiang Bokao's momentum at the moment and replied sternly: "I understand."
"Also, remember to hit those five surnames. Over the years, they have made more and more small moves."
"Yes, Mr. Patriarch."
Jiang Congjun left in a hurry. His task was not light.
"I hope they can recognize the reality, otherwise the five surnames that have been inherited for thousands of years will have to be replaced."
Jiang Bokao's last words echoed in the reception room.
On Yun Mi's side, after returning to her original residence, she found that her residence had completely collapsed. The maids who were serving her, and the doctors who were rushing over one by one, wrapped up the wounds.
After seeing Yun Mi arriving, they still wanted to struggle and salute, but were stopped by Yun Mi.
"You should take good care of your injuries, and this will be considered as compensation for you."
As she spoke, she flipped her right hand, and a dozen inferior spirit beads wrapped in true energy appeared above her palm.
In an instant, these spirit beads disappeared from the sky above her palm, and a spirit bead appeared next to each of the maids.
After paying out the compensation, Yun Mi left here without looking back.
Looking at the direction, it seems to be Li Yan and his new home.
"This thing is a good thing. I advise you to hand it over so that you can get some rewards."
"If you hold on to it, with your status, you may be fine now, but it will be hard to say when Envoy Yun leaves."
A knowledgeable doctor at the scene said meaningfully.
The maids who heard this, some looked reluctant, some looked entangled, and some tightly held the spiritual bead that belonged to them, and looked disdainful at the doctor's words.
On Li Yan's side, after this poisoning incident, the team of 30 people originally only had 18 people left.
Eight innate warriors and ten acquired warriors.
It is worth mentioning that the two people who spent seven days in the Ten Thousand Mountains with Li Yan, Meng Rou and Chen Jian, one ate the Chunyuan Fruit and died.
One was accidentally injured by the self-explosion of the innate warrior, and the poison of [Half-step Down] entered the wound along with the flesh and blood of this innate master, and eventually died.
These two people are really unlucky.
Now, all the eleven people under Kong Tianyang's command are dead.
And almost half of the innate warriors are in the same situation as him.
Of course, in the eyes of others, Kong Tianyang is still good, after all, they don't know that Li Yan's only seedling is fake.
"The special envoy is here."
"Meet the special envoy."
Yun Mi's arrival was discovered by the already frightened people at the first time.
"I came here to inform you that the murderer has been confirmed to be those rats."
"Jiang Bokao has promised me that before tomorrow morning, the rat heads will be delivered to us."
As soon as Yun Mi finished speaking, the sorrow on everyone's faces instantly disappeared and turned into strong joy.
"Great! These damned beasts have killed so many of us. They should have died long ago."
"Finally, I can finally go back to the royal city. I will never leave the royal city again."
"Yao Yang, your revenge will be avenged soon."
The crowd began to make noises, even a little hysterical, venting the frustration they had suffered during this period and the fear of being almost poisoned before.
So, Yun Mi didn't care about them and let them vent.
She went straight to the third floor.
This house for Li Yan and others to live in has three floors.
"I will live with you in the future, but if there is nothing, don't come to the third floor to disturb me."
"Also, find me a few maids to serve."
Yun Mi ordered Kong Tianyang, who remained calm.
Then, she went straight to the third floor.
It can be said that the entire third floor will be her territory from now on.
"Yes, I will follow the instructions of Envoy Yun."
Kong Tianyang replied respectfully to Yun Mi's back.
Turning around, Kong Tianyang sighed as he looked at the people in the revelry.
They were all smart people, so how could they not know that in such a short time, they could find out the details of the person who poisoned them.
Obviously, they wanted to put the blame on [Red Blood Destroys Zhou Army] and others.
So, their performance at this time was half real and half fake.
It's just that no one would expose it.
