[Chapter 706 Threat!]

“My lord! You must not do this! There must be nothing strange about this matter. If you suspect that our master was poisoned, then we should have been poisoned as well. My lord, you must not do this!”

“Huh! Your master suffered from headaches, nausea and vomiting a few days ago. These are signs of poisoning. Now that he has passed away, why can’t I solve the problem in order to find out the truth? Or do you have something to hide?”

“My lord! How can you say that? We are all brothers who have suffered a great disaster and were kindly taken in by our master! It was our master who gave us the chance to live. How could we do such a thing!”

The old Taoist said almost in tears.

“Sir, our master has been upright and honest throughout his life, and has done a lot of good deeds! And when we found our master, he was sitting in meditation and ascended! You said that our master died of poisoning, but he clearly didn’t show any signs of poisoning! In my opinion, our master is not dead, but ascended!”

The words of the old Taoist immediately aroused the agreement of many other Taoists.

Even the onlookers inside and outside the sect sighed.

“Wow! Ascending, does it mean that Master Danqingzi has really become an immortal?”

“Too, too amazing! Immortal! This is to bless us with good weather and good harvests in the surrounding areas!”

“Yes! Master Danqingzi will definitely bless us!”

Suddenly, many people even wanted to worship him!

Such a scene fell into Song Ci’s eyes, and his brows frowned even deeper!

The old Taoist said that Danqingzi did not have any symptoms of poisoning on the outside, and the fact is indeed so!

According to many records of poisoning cases nowadays, most of the people who died of poisoning had purple lips, blue faces, clenched teeth, and some even had purple patches on their bodies.

The appearance was extremely tragic!

But Dan Qingzi in front of him did not look any different from the outside.

But then again.

It was precisely because the appearance could not tell what was going on that Song Ci felt it necessary to do an autopsy.

After all, a few days before Dan Qingzi’s death, all the Taoists could testify that he did have some vomiting, nausea and diarrhea!

Only after the autopsy was completed could it be determined what exactly caused Dan Qingzi’s death.

Moreover, there was one more thing, which was just a thought in Song Ci’s heart, or some of Song Ci’s intuition!

Since he came in, he always felt that these Taoists knew something, but no one mentioned it to him.

The other party was hiding something.

And the concealment was because there was a secret!

Since this secret could not be said, would it be related to Dan Qingzi’s death?

Song Ci urgently needed to prove it.

“Come here! Don’t waste your time talking to them! Get ready!”

Song Ci ordered again.

Several soldiers came over again.

This time, the old Taoist disciple ignored the presence of Song Ci, an influential official, and rushed to Dan Qingzi’s body.

In addition, several Taoist disciples followed the old Taoist disciple and knelt beside Dan Qingzi’s body.

“How dare you! How dare you stop the officials from handling the case!?”

Song Ci shouted sternly.

The old Taoist disciple knelt down and bowed to Song Ci.

“Sir Song! You are a famous coroner, and you are also our father and mother official! Your reputation is known throughout the area, and we dare not disobey your words!”

“But! Our master died of natural causes and passed away while sitting quietly. This is a sign of becoming an immortal! Now that the master is gone, you want to perform an autopsy on his body! To put it bluntly, if the master’s immortal spirit knows and blames us, this area will probably no longer be blessed by the immortals…”

“Nonsense!”

Song Ci’s face was also a little ugly.

He was a coroner and a researcher of the case. Although most people in this era were superstitious, Song Ci did not believe in it very much.

The only thing he believed in was his professional knowledge!

In his opinion, the only thing in the world that would not lie was a corpse!

This was also his original intention to write “Xi Yuan Ji Lu” and was determined to leave a great work for future generations!

As for the immortal way and immortals, if immortals really exist, why are there so many people who are hungry and why are there so many wars!

“Don’t spread rumors here to confuse the public! The residents of the village live and work in peace and contentment. This is the result of cooperation between the government and the people and the hard work of the people! What does it have to do with you Taoists! If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will punish you for the crime of disturbing the village!”

This time, Song Ci’s words were stern, and those young Taoists dared not say a word.

However, the old Taoist’s face turned black, he took a deep breath, and bowed to Song Ci again.

Immediately, the old Taoist also bowed to the crowd of onlookers at the door.

Afterwards, he looked around and bowed to everyone in the courtyard of the Taoist temple.

After doing all this, the old Taoist looked at Song Ci again.

“Sir Song! If you insist on dissecting the master’s body, I have nothing to say! But Sir Song, you keep saying that you suspect that the master died of poisoning! I don’t know where you got such a suspicion from, but in my opinion, you are completely making it up! You are insulting us, the people who practice Taoism!”

Song Ci narrowed his eyes suddenly, and there was a hint of murderous intent in his eyes. After

being an official for many years, Song Ci is no longer the silly boy in Songjia Village. He knows the warmth and coldness of human nature and has seen too many people with sinister hearts! The

real Song Ci is by no means a kind-hearted person. You know, according to historical records, Song Ci led troops to fight and killed many rebels!

Now, this old Taoist took the lead and repeatedly blocked the way, which made Song Ci unhappy.

If it weren’t for the importance of handling the case and obtaining evidence, at this moment, Song Ci would have to send someone to take the old Taoist away!

“Insult you? Haha, I never said that Dan Qingzi’s death had anything to do with you? You jumped out so hastily, do you really have something to hide?”

The old Taoist’s face was slightly stern, but he bowed again.

“Sir Song, if you have nothing to hide, you are naturally not afraid of the examination! But you have to make it clear. If you don’t find anything unusual after the autopsy! And my master’s body cannot be preserved intact, who will bear the consequences!?”

“You…”

Even Song Ci, who has always been resourceful, couldn’t help but be choked by the old Taoist’s words!

People in this era respect the teachings of their parents for their bodies and hair. Ordinary people dare not even shave their beards at will.

There are also people who cannot die in other places, and they ask to return to their roots and ask to keep their bodies as intact as possible.

This seems to be to take care of the last bit of dignity of the deceased!

And at this moment, the other party actually threatened Song Ci with this question…
