This person has been kept in the yamen by Xun Mingming and his men for observation. Several doctors have also been sent to be on standby at all times to ensure that this person survives.
Last night, someone had investigated the whole incident with the Chen family's housekeeper, and in the end, everyone pinned the blame on one person: the strange sea fish that Chen Bin had purchased at a high price from the sea fishmongers.
"Sir, there is someone outside looking for you. He claims to be the young master of the Qin family." A yamen runner walked into the room and said.
Xun Sheng immediately perked up and said quickly, "Hurry up and invite him in! Don't be slow."
Xun Sheng didn't know what was happening in the Tang Dynasty now. He only knew that Qin Yuesheng's current official rank was far higher than his, and Qin Yuesheng had extremely rich experience in dealing with these strange things. If he were to come and take a look, he might be able to determine what was going on behind this case.
Not long after, Qin Yuesheng walked into the room under the guidance of the yamen runners. Xun Sheng immediately stood up and greeted him respectfully, "Master Qin."
…
"Master Xun, I heard that something happened in Qingyang City last night, and several officials died."
"Haha, Lord Qin is really well-informed. Yes, that's exactly what happened."
Qin Yuesheng asked with interest: "Tell me in detail what the situation is and whether the matter has been resolved."
Xun Sheng subconsciously glanced at Bai Ningxuan who followed Qin Yuesheng in, with a hesitant expression.
Qin Yuesheng: "It's okay, this is my man, just tell me what you want."
"Okay, this is actually the case, Master Qin."
Next, Xun Sheng recounted in detail what happened in Chen's house last night from beginning to end.
Qin Yuesheng was slightly surprised. "Such a thing actually exists. It's truly rare. Lord Xun, is Mr. Zhuang's transformed corpse still there? And those strange fish Mr. Chen bought? I want to see them for myself."
"That's easy. I've already had all those things delivered to the government office. I think the problem this time must be with those sea fish. Lord Qin, you said that these rich people are also like this. They are too rich and have nothing to do, so they like to eat those rare things. Now they have killed someone."
Qin Yuesheng nodded in agreement.
Led by Xun Sheng, the three of them went directly to the backyard of the yamen, where they saw a stretcher that was obviously larger than the original one. It was covered with a layer of white cloth, and something was vaguely covered underneath.
"Sir Qin, this is the body of Mr. Zhuang. As for those sea fish, I have had them all collected in buckets and placed in the room over there. Where do you think we should start looking first?" Xun Sheng stopped and asked.
Qin Yuesheng pointed at the stretcher and said, "Let's take a look at this first."
Xun Sheng waved his hand, and a yamen runner came over and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse for them. Suddenly, a corpse that looked neither human nor ghost was exposed to everyone's eyes.
It was Mr. Zhuang who had turned into a demon.
"When my men arrived at the Chen residence, they immediately killed the monster on the spot, preventing anyone else from being implicated. It is said that Mr. Zhuang had completely lost his mind at the time, acting wildly like a beast, extremely ferocious."
Qin Yuesheng walked to the corpse, squatted down and began to observe it. After being transformed into a demon, Zhuang Yuanwai's body grew to eight feet tall, with amazing muscles all over his body, and hair and scales growing mixed together, making him look like both a fish and a beast. More importantly, Qin Yuesheng felt a demonic aura on him.
After eating those dishes, Mr. Zhuang really turned from a human into a monster.
"How could such a thing happen? Could it be because of Shenyou's blood..." Qin Yuesheng frowned and thought to himself.
Before the two immortals Shilin and Yalan left, they told him that the blood of immortals had a huge impact on the mortal world, and the East China Sea was the hotbed for the most likely spread of immortal blood. All creatures in the entire East China Sea would be affected by the blood of immortals, and thus undergo mutations that no one could have imagined.
But no one expected that this mutation would come so quickly. Before long, the people in the south of the Yangtze River had already been affected.
"Come on, take me to see those fish again." Qin Yuesheng stood up and clapped his hands.
"Okay, Lord Qin, please follow me." Xun Sheng led the way personally and directly opened the door of a room.
The room was filled with buckets, and the buckets were filled with all kinds of strange fish caught by the constables from the Chen Mansion pond.
Qin Yuesheng saw the ghost-faced crab floating at the highest point of the water at a glance.
"Exotic species, all of them. I've lived for most of my life and have never seen such strange seafood."
Without listening to Xun Sheng's nagging, Qin Yuesheng walked straight in and observed the sea fish up close.
Under the gaze of Xun Sheng and his group, Qin Yuesheng grabbed the ghost-faced crab with one hand, stared at it for a long time, and suddenly broke the ghost-faced crab's shell open with force.
Click!
There was a crisp sound, and everyone's heart skipped a beat.
The ghost-faced crab actually let out a horrifying scream, and then began to dance with its claws uncontrollably, trying to struggle.
"There is a demonic aura, as well as the scent of immortal blood, but it's very thin, so faint that it's almost difficult to distinguish." Qin Yuesheng understood instantly as soon as he smelled the scent emanating from the crab's body, and he had already made a conclusion.
The immortal blood in Chen You's body fell into the East China Sea, causing a comprehensive mutation in the East China Sea from small to large.
The first step of this mutation has already begun to manifest itself in the fish in the sea. What no one expected was that after eating these fish that have come into contact with the blood of immortals, even humans will undergo strange changes, which is extremely dangerous.
