Chapter 247 What a big drama?

The so-called sacrifice by Zhao Kuangguo must have been a human sacrifice, which was extremely cruel. It might even be like what happened in the Hangsha Miao Village, where all the old, weak, women and children were killed, which is against the will of heaven.

Zhao Kuangguo put down the elbow he was chewing, his lips slick with oil, and nodded repeatedly in compliment. "The Third Prince's wife is right. Originally, in Ba County, our dynasty and the ancient Qiang were quite independent. But some time ago, the Qilan tribe in Qianwei County rebelled and killed the governor Zhu Hao, and the ancient Qiang also suffered."

Li Fu nodded. "It seems the death of Zhu Hao, the prefect of Jianwei County, is closely related to the rebellion of the Qilan tribe. To be honest, on the way here, we witnessed the tragic situation at the Hangsha Miao Village. The village chief was none other than Long Xiannan."

"If we can't find the great witch Long Xiannan here, then we will go to Jianwei County to have a look." Wen Ziduan said this lightly, as if telling Zhao Kuangguo clearly that they would set off for Jianwei County to investigate Zhu Hao's death.

At this moment, a servant outside came to report that someone had torn up the notice and claimed to be Long Xiannan, who had come specifically to treat Zhao Kuangguo. Zhao Kuangguo quickly had them invited in. It was almost noon, and he had lost his appetite and was restless.

"Your Highness, please forgive me, but this poison comes in a strange way. Every noon, my whole body feels like it's being cooked by fire, and the heat is unbearable. At midnight, it's like falling into an ice cave, and my lips are frozen blue and purple. It's really torturous." Zhao Kuangguo sighed, and it seemed that he was indeed seriously poisoned.

Wen Ziduan saw this and quickly knelt and said, "Lord Zhao will need treatment later. I can't stay here for long. I'll go down and rest first. My husband, please stay with Lord Zhao."

He and Li Fu exchanged glances, and both understood that Wen Ziduan would take this opportunity to enter the prefectural government to search what had happened during this period. Li Fu's main task was to delay Zhao Kuangguo and monitor his every move.

After a while, Long Feibai, who had a pale complexion, a slightly old and hunched face, and He Zhaojun, who was carrying a medicine box behind him, walked into the house leisurely.

Long Feibai announced his master's name, not worrying about being exposed. He had grown up beside his master, Long Xiannan, and if he said he knew his master second to none, no one would dare to be first. This was enough to fool these outsiders.

"This must be the prefect Zhao. Why do you look so ugly? Have you been poisoned?" Long Feibai could tell at a glance that what Zhao Kuangguo had been poisoned by was not the Miaojiang Gu poison, but the Qielan secret technique, and the poison was very severe. If he was not treated, he would die suddenly in three to five days.

He Zhaojun secretly tugged at Long Feibai's sleeve. This man was only thirteen or fourteen, and his stature hadn't fully grown yet. Although he was good enough to play an old man, who knew if he had learned Long Xiannan's skills.

Even if Zhao Kuangguo was most likely the criminal, he was also an official appointed by the imperial court and a key figure in the case. If he was not cured, Long Feibai would be convicted of murdering an official appointed by the imperial court, which would affect the investigation of the case.

Long Feibai pursed his lips and carefully felt the worry and suspicion gradually rising in his heart. Knowing what He Zhaojun was thinking, he held He Zhaojun's fingers with his backhand.

Don't worry, I can heal it.

Li Fu stood by, observing their little antics. He curled his lips and hurriedly bowed, putting on a full performance. "Is this the renowned Long family patriarch, the Great Witch Long? I am the Third Prince, Wen Ziduan. I have come all the way from the capital to seek medicine for my mother."

Long Feibai nodded pretentiously: "Let me first detoxify Zhao Taishou, and then I will go to your room later. You can tell me the patient's condition in detail."

Perhaps it was because the poisonous insects attracted each other, when their fingers touched, a kind of joy surged in his heart, causing Long Feibai's face to blush.
