"Poisoned?" Wei Qing was shocked. "How do you know it's poisoned?"

"Because I saw that Taoist priest poisoning people in the market just now," Jindou said, looking at Wei Qing, and added, "And it was most likely a Gu poison."

"Poison?" Wei Qing was extremely surprised. You know, poison has always been heard of only in southern Xinjiang, and no one has ever actually seen it. In the capital, a place far away from southern Xinjiang, it is even more unheard of.

"Yes!" Jindou was very confident in his judgment.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the excitement, experts watch the doorway. Just now at the market, Dao Tu's barely perceptible finger movement caught Jin Dou's eye, but Jin Dou saw the clue.

Generally, people who poison people do it outdoors. In order to avoid being discovered, they hide the poison powder between their fingers and pop it out with their fingers. The consequences of poisoning will be different depending on the method of use of the fingers.

And just now at the market, the Taoist priest used the most cruel method.

"Second brother, let's go to the clinic and take a look." Jindou thought of the patient who was wailing in the clinic just now and said to Wei Qing.

In a clinic in the capital, Jindou took out a needle bag, took out a silver needle, asked everyone to hold down the patient who was wailing non-stop, and then inserted the silver needles into several specific acupuncture points on his stiff limbs.

Then he asked the doctor in the clinic to boil a bowl of medicine with three herbs including realgar, and gave it to the patient.

As the medicine was infused, a black line began to appear on the patient's rock-hard limbs and slowly gathered towards the silver needle. As the silver needle became darker and darker, the patient's limbs gradually softened and the wailing became softer and softer.

After a while, seeing that the black lines on the patient's limbs had completely disappeared, and the silver needle had become as black as ink, Jindou stepped forward and pulled out the silver needle.

As the silver needle was removed, the patient immediately felt relaxed, as if he had never been sick.

After returning to the Jinyiwei office, Wei Qing immediately ordered people to inform all the medical clinics in the capital about the treatment method of golden beans.

"Second brother!" Wei Qing had just finished giving his orders when Jindou rushed in.

"Second brother, this Taoist priest has planted so many poisons in the capital. He must be raising poisonous insects near the capital."

Jindou lay on the table in front of Wei Qing, looked at him and said, "We have to destroy his lair, otherwise he will poison people again."

Wei Qing nodded. Only by catching this Taoist priest could they eliminate future troubles. But how could they find the place where the Taoist priest raised the poison as soon as possible?

Jindou seemed to be able to see through Wei Qing's thoughts and patted his chest: "Second brother, leave it to me, I promise to find the Taoist's lair!"

Late at night, the night wind is bleak and the waning moon hangs high in the sky.

The streets of the capital were silent and pitch black.

On a small forest path in the southwest suburbs of the capital, Jindou and Wei Qing walked forward cautiously, one in front and the other behind. This time, in order not to alert the enemy, Wei Qing did not bring the Jinyiwei with him, and only came out with Jindou.

At this moment, Wei Qing held the scabbard tightly with one hand, and looked around vigilantly with his eyes.

Jindou in front was observing the compass in his hand, identifying the direction, and walking forward little by little.

On a gloomy night, the moonlight shines through the cracks in the jungle, illuminating the ground and flashing a strange light.

After walking for a while, Jindou stopped and looked carefully at the compass in his hand. He turned back and said to Wei Qing, "Second brother, the darkest place in the southwest is ahead. The place where the Taoist priest raises Gu should be ahead."

Gu worms like shade, so people who raise them will specifically look for the darkest places to raise them.

Wei Qing nodded, reached out and pulled Jindou behind him, and walked forward carefully while observing his surroundings.

After walking a few more steps, I could vaguely see a thatched hut in front of me through the gaps between the trees. The hut was surrounded by trees and it was difficult to be found if you didn't look carefully.

The two men quietly came to the front of the thatched cottage. Wei Qing looked around and put his arms around Jindou's waist. Before Jindou could react, he tiptoed and flew up to the wall. Then, he used some force to land silently in the yard.

What great martial arts skills! If it weren’t for the wrong timing, Jindou really wanted to give Wei Qing a thumbs up.

The yard was quiet. The two men observed carefully and saw a huge vessel placed in the middle of the yard.

Just as Jindou took a step to go over and check, he was suddenly pulled by Wei Qing, and the tip of a sword brushed past Jindou's clothes and stabbed past.

It turned out that after the Taoist priest was discovered for casting the poison, he was worried that someone would find him, so he had been careful these days. Just now, the two of them were in the yard. Because Wei Qing had the skill of lightness, his footsteps landed silently, but Jindou had no skill of lightness at all, so he was noticed by the Taoist priest as soon as he took a step.

While the two were still unprepared, the Taoist decided to strike first.

Seeing that Jindou was almost injured, Wei Qing was furious. Before Dao Tu could retract his sword, he stabbed Jindou with the sword as fast as lightning.

The Taoist priest had not expected that Wei Qing's sword would come at him so fast that he could not dodge in time and was hit hard by the sword. He dropped the sword in pain and took several steps back.

The Taoist priest stood still in panic, knowing that his martial arts skills were no match for Wei Qing. He suddenly put his hands together and began to mutter something.

As the Taoist priest's mouth opened and closed, strange sounds began to come from the huge vessel in the yard.

The Taoist chanted faster and faster, and the sound in the dish became louder and louder.

Suddenly, with a loud "bang", countless green poisonous insects with only heads and bodies but no eyes or limbs flew out of the dish and flew towards Jindou and Wei Qing frantically.

Seeing this, Jindou walked a few steps to Wei Qing, took out the Qiankun Mirror in one hand, and a yellow talisman in the other hand and waved it at the poisonous insects. The talisman turned into a huge ball of golden light in the air, covering all the poisonous insects in the golden light.

After being surrounded by the golden light, the poisonous insects fell to the ground as if they were struck by lightning. Under the illumination of the Qiankun Mirror, they turned into wisps of black smoke and disappeared on the ground.

When the Taoist saw this scene, he was shocked for a moment. Seeing that the poisonous insects had been completely destroyed by the golden beans, the Taoist jumped onto the wall with his toes and wanted to escape.

Wei Qing would never let the Taoist escape for the second time, so he casually raised his hand and a dart flew over with a whirring sound, hitting the Taoist's knee. The Taoist cried out in pain, lost his balance and fell off the wall.

The Taoist priest lying on the ground still wanted to make a final struggle. He supported his injured knee and stood up. He raised his hand and an arrow shot out from his sleeve and shot towards Jindou. At this time, Jindou was completely unprepared, and when he realized it, it was too late.

It happened so quickly that just as the sleeve arrow was about to reach Jindou's chest, a cold light flashed before Jindou's eyes, and with a "clang" sound, the sleeve arrow was knocked away.

Jindou was still in shock for a moment, and then he saw Wei Qing next to him raise his hand again, and another dart flew out, piercing the Taoist's other knee. The Taoist was in so much pain that he couldn't even make a sound, and fell straight down.
