When Zhang Quanhe heard that they were going to find the poisonous snake, he lost his composure.

This poisonous snake can hurt people, and if you are bitten by a poisonous snake, you will have to rely on your luck even if you can find a doctor to treat you.

It depends on how fast the doctor uses the medicine or how fast the snake venom spreads.

As far as he knew, less than one out of a hundred people who were bitten by a poisonous snake could survive.

"Princess Anguo, this venomous snake is probably not safe. Besides, what's the point of finding a venomous snake?"

Could it be that they used poisonous snakes to force a confession?! If he didn't confess, they would release the snakes to bite him?!

"Don't worry, Master Zhang. The poisonous snake is used to find the murderer."

"How do you explain this?" Zhang Quanhe looked ignorant.

"Master Zhang, you don't know. The horses that the Queen rides in her carriage were fed a large amount of sweet grass by someone from the beginning."

"But as far as I know, this fragrant grass is not poisonous. Some people even use it as a spice."

Zhang Quanhe was the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture and handled many cases related to people's livelihood. He actually knew about Cyperus rotundus.

"Centilla is naturally non-toxic when taken alone. However, if it is used together with snake grass, it will become a poison that can cause hallucinations and madness in the user."

"Centella asiatica is not very picky about where it grows. It can grow on the roadside or in the grass as long as there are seeds and the conditions are right. But this snake grass grows in the miasma forest at the border. Ordinary people can't easily touch it. So there is no possibility of accidentally touching it."

"Moreover, this snake grass has a special smell. People can't smell it, but snakes like it very much. The more poisonous the snake, the more it likes it. Moreover, the smell will linger on the body of people who have touched the snake grass for three to five days."

"When the poisonous snakes come, we will know who among these people fed the horses with snake grass. We will also know who is trying to murder the queen."

Seeing someone trying to protest, Song Qingci interrupted him and said, "Don't even think about protesting. The fact that you were brought to Jingzhao Prefecture proves that you behaved abnormally when the incident happened. Neither the guards of the General's Mansion nor the guards in the palace will wrongly accuse you."

Song Qingci's voice was neither lowered nor amplified deliberately. His straightforward tone allowed everyone present to hear clearly.

As if to confirm what she said, the bailiff who had just gone out to look for the poisonous snake came in directly with a covered wooden barrel.

"Princess, sir, I'm so lucky. Not far from the gate, I met an old man selling snakes. He said that the bucket contained the freshly caught snakeheads and snakeheads. They are all highly poisonous and are best used to make wine."

The bailiff's face was full of smiles. He had originally thought that finding the poisonous snake was an impossible task, but he didn't expect to get lucky as soon as he went out.

Although he spent a month's salary to buy the snake, it was worth it to be able to show his face in front of the adults and the princess.

On the other side, Feng Si, holding two taels of silver, pulled off his beard and thought to himself that this money could be used to buy two bottles of good wine.

When Song Qingci mentioned the specialness of snake grass before, some people still had a sense of luck in their hearts.

I thought that catching a poisonous snake is not that easy, let alone catching it at such a spur of the moment.

I never expected that they had just talked for a while and they actually found poisonous snakes, and they were the most poisonous ones, the bamboo leaf green snake and the mountain peak snake.

The mentality that had been rebuilt collapsed again.

"Are you ready to tell the truth? I'll count to three. If you don't speak, I'll release the snake~"
