Chapter 408 This always feels too coincidental
This is basically consistent with what Jiang Lianzhu said.
Liao Jiu was silent. Others said, "Will the mother cup allow the son cup to kill the Eagle Master? If so, we will be in trouble."
Doctor Zhang shook his head. "No, the mother and child cups are connected by life. If the child cup dies, the mother cup will be seriously injured even if it survives. If the mother cup controls multiple child cups, the person who secretly poisoned the cup will generally not be willing to kill the mother cup..."
This time, everyone was shocked again.
"Controlling multiple people? Is it possible? Are there others being controlled? I'm afraid all the captains of Baihua Tower are controlled by this thing?"
"It's very likely that Baihua Tower is a cult. This would explain why they didn't kill the Eagle Master and allowed him to live. It's because destroying the Mother Cauldron would cause the entire Baihua Tower to collapse, and the loss would be too great."
"Then how do we remove the control and eliminate the poison from the sub-judgement?"
Doctor Zhang proposed two points, which were the same method that Jiang Lianzhu had found in ancient books before.
One is to kill the mother cup, and the other is to cut off the connection between the child cup and the mother cup.
"The method described in ancient books is to use the fairy grass to temporarily paralyze the child bell, disconnecting the mother bell from the child bell for a period of time, allowing the Eagle Master to regain self-awareness. This breakthrough can be used to dig out information about the Baihua Tower. This fairy grass is only found in the Aquarius Kingdom, because this spirit bell poison was passed down from the Aquarius Kingdom..."
Doctor Zhang pulled a rectangular box from his pocket and knelt down excitedly. "Your Majesty, I failed in my ginseng-collecting mission, but I have unexpectedly gained this treasure: the Immortal Spirit Grass! Your Majesty, please take a look."
Everyone was overjoyed.
No one knew what the fairy grass was. Only Liao Jiu had heard Jiang Lianzhu describe it. When he took it and looked at it, it really looked like what Jiang Lianzhu described, a piece of grass shaped like orchid leaves, quite fresh, as if it had just been picked not long ago, green and not yet turned yellow, with a suffocating smell.
Xuan Huang was also happy, "Is it really the Immortal Spirit Grass?"
"Your Majesty, how dare I deceive you? This is the fairy grass. I picked it on the cliff. I never thought it would be useful. I just saw that rare herbs are hard to come by, so I picked it up for future use."
The Minister of Justice suggested, "Your Majesty, since this is the case, and it is a coincidence, in order to avoid more trouble at night, this matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. Why not bring the Eagle Master to trial now and give him a trial for poisoning? What do you think?"
Others also echoed the advice.
Emperor Xuan asked Doctor Zhang, "Are you sure?"
Doctor Zhang replied, "I have never treated this kind of poison, but I have learned about it from ancient books. I am willing to give it a try, and it should be safe. The Eagle Master has been captured for so long, and he has been fine. The main reason is that the enemy thinks the fairy grass is too rare and we can't find it in a short time. Now that I have returned to the capital, I believe that the news of the collection of the fairy grass will spread soon. If the people in Baihua Tower know about it, I am afraid they will come up with unexpected tricks that are hard to guard against..."
With this said, it becomes even more urgent.
Xuan Huang said, "Liao Jiu, then you are to go to the Six Gates now and bring the Eagle Master to the Ministry of Justice. I will personally observe the detoxification and interrogation."
Liao Jiu pondered for a moment.
There was indeed no time to lose, but he had not yet asked Jiang Lianzhu for her opinion.
Some of it was too sudden.
"Why don't we go to our Six Gates for the trial?" Let Jiang Lianzhu watch together.
The Minister of Justice said sternly, "The interrogation place of your Six Gates is not as good as our Ministry of Justice. You should go to our Ministry of Justice. Besides, our Ministry of Justice is close to the Imperial Palace, which is convenient for the Emperor to go there."
He must strive for this great achievement.
Everything was taken away by the Six Gates, so the Ministry of Justice also had to compete for performance! Prime Minister Zhou also spoke at the right time, "Just the Ministry of Justice. Anyway, the follow-up will still be handled by the Ministry of Justice."
What I mean is, let others have some connection with it.
Liao Jiu did not object anymore, "Then I will go back and pick him up myself."
Without his order, the Six Gates would not release anyone. Besides, he wanted to take Jiang Lianzhu with him.
The Minister of Justice also said, "Let's go together."
This is urgent to prevent complications.
***
After Jiang Lianzhu got the precious fairy grass, she went straight to the Six Gates.
Without wasting a moment.
After returning to the Six Gates, he asked if Liao Jiu was there.
The shadow guard said he wasn't there.
Jiang Lianzhu went to find Xiang Zuo again, but Xiang Zuo was also busy. After asking, she found out that Xiang Xi and the others had returned to deal with the follow-up matters.
Jiang Lianzhu was stunned. She didn't expect him to come back so soon?
So, was Li Niang brought back with her?
She felt a stir in her heart and decided to go and meet this Li Niang.
These six gates are heavily guarded, and Liao Jiu is not here. It is impossible to see them without the consent and leadership of the four commanders.
"I'll go back to the courtyard first. Please inform your left servant to find me in the backyard. I have something to ask him."
The shadow guard replied respectfully and left.
When Jiang Lianzhu returned to the backyard, three snow wolves came to greet her in high spirits. There was no need for anyone to open the door for Jiang Lianzhu, as the snow wolves could open it themselves. They were familiar with the smell of Jiang Lianzhu, and before she got close, the three of them knew that it was Jiang Lianzhu who had returned, so they bit off the bolt and opened the door for her.
Nanny Cheng and her daughter were playing in the sun in the yard. When they looked up and saw Jiang Lianzhu coming back, they smiled and said, "Doctor Jiang, Governor Liao just came back looking for you, but you weren't there. He asked us where you had been, but we didn't know. Governor Liao seemed very anxious and then left."
The flower beds in the yard are in full bloom. It is April now, the spring flowers are brilliant, and there are many bees and butterflies. My daughter is catching butterflies for fun.
Under the sunshine, the little guy was sweating profusely, "Mom, why didn't you come back for lunch? Liao Jiu didn't come back for lunch either. We couldn't enjoy our meal..."
Jiang Lianzhu coaxed, "Be good. Mother is busy. Play by yourself."
"Okay." Nanbao smiled sweetly and continued to catch her bees and butterflies.
Dabao came out, "Mom..."
Jiang Lianzhu looked at him and it seemed like he had something to say.
Then he went into the house.
Dabao closed the door and said, "Mom, Governor Liao left a message."
A heavy face.
"What? Say it."
Dabao lowered his voice and said, "Governor Liao said that Doctor Zhang from the Imperial Hospital had just returned from Aquarius State with some fairy grass that could cure the poison in Mao Shurong. So, the Emperor summoned Mao Shurong to the Ministry of Justice for interrogation. Governor Liao was going to take you with him, but since you weren't here, he couldn't wait and took you away first."
Jiang Lianzhu frowned. Is it such a coincidence?
The imperial physician actually brought back the magical herb from Aquarius?
Mao Shurong is the most important witness! Is it appropriate to take him away like this?
What if there is an accident?
She is just a witness now, not an investigator. She is anxious and feels that something is wrong, but there is nothing she can do.
This always feels like too much of a coincidence.
