Poison Doctor Roaming the Martial World

Yang Jianwu disliked rodents, so she naturally wouldn't pick up the poison packet with the severed tail attached. The eagle resignedly stepped forward... The rat tail was only for show, not for eating. Was its master deliberately tempting it...?

The gyrfalcon, with two rat tails in its mouth, hopped and skipped behind Yang Jianwu, its two poison pouches swaying back and forth like two white fleshy skirts.

The governor, seeing the gyrfalcon, mistook it for a grayish-white pheasant. Upon closer inspection, he was dumbfounded—this wasn't a chicken!

This was the first time Mo Feng had seen a gyrfalcon. This eagle was willing to follow the Ghost Doctor so obediently, and the Ghost Doctor's medical skills were superb. He would definitely try to find a way to recruit the Ghost Doctor to his own side. Such a capable person should never befriend an enemy.

Mo Ye could tell from Prince Rui's expression that he was up to no good, plotting against Xiao Wu'er and Hai Dongqing? He was sure to be the one who suffered!

Yang Jianwu pretended not to recognize Mo Feng, "Is this His Highness Prince Rui?"

"It is indeed I, the King. Are you the old sir, the Ghost Doctor? I have long admired your name."

Prince Rui's face was full of smiles, and he looked extremely gentle and refined. This kind of appearance is the easiest to deceive people. If Nangong Yan hadn't been hypnotized to learn the whole story, it would have been hard to believe that he was one of the masterminds behind the poisoning.

Yang Jianwu gestured for Hai Dongqing to drop the medicine packet on the ground, then pointed at it and asked, "I just encountered a man in black in the backyard who claimed to be a subordinate of Prince Rui. If I'm not mistaken, he intended to use rats to poison someone, but my clumsy bird happened to eat the rats, leaving behind two packets of poison with severed tails tied to them. He was afraid I would discover the poisoning, so he hid the poison on his person. These two packets of poison fell off him during the fight. I wonder what explanation Prince Rui has for this?"

Prince Rui looked at the two bloody severed tails and felt a wave of nausea… Nangong Ji, that idiot! He got caught red-handed trying to poison someone! So stupid, he'll be killed by someone else sooner or later!

Suppressing the urge to vomit, he said, "The Ghost Doctor is joking. All my subordinates are here. Where would there be any men in black?"

Yang Jianwu found a seat and sat down casually. "Is that so? It seems someone is trying to frame His Highness Prince Rui!"

Prince Rui smiled ingratiatingly, "That should be the case. Ghost Doctor, please don't misunderstand me and let that treacherous villain get what he wants."

Yang Jianwu nodded seriously, "Of course!"

After thinking it over carefully, he said anxiously, "Your Highness Prince Rui, you must send people to protect the people of Lucheng! The person who tried to poison us failed once or twice, so he will definitely try other methods! If he poisons us himself, Prefect Feng will only need to arrest one person at most; but if he flaunts his name behind your back, wouldn't it be you who harmed the people of Lucheng?"

Yang Jianwu took a breath. "In that case, Prefect Feng will be in a difficult position, and you will also be implicated. So the best thing to do right now is to strengthen defenses and prevent the thieves from taking advantage of the situation again!"

Mo Feng felt incredibly aggrieved! The Ghost Doctor meant that if any more people in Lucheng were poisoned, he would have to bear the blame for the poisoning! What kind of logic was that! He cursed Nangong Ji a hundred and eighty times in his heart!

He maintained his usual smile, "I have acted uprightly and honestly, and I am not afraid of being framed. I will not admit to any fabricated charges! I believe that Prefect Feng will arrest the poisoner as soon as possible."

Prefect Feng immediately declared his stance, "Your humble servant will certainly increase the guards and capture the poisoner as soon as possible. This person dared to come to the Prefect's residence to cause trouble, which is a provocation against the officials of Dongli. If he is not captured, I swear I will not serve as your subject!"

While praising Prefect Feng, Yang Jianwu felt even more contempt for Prince Rui. It was precisely because of parasites like him that Dongli could not develop!

"The man in black said he had letters between the two parties as proof, and that he even gave me the ring on his hand to convince me that you knew him."

Yang Jianwu took out the ring she had obtained when she hypnotized Nangong Yan. She played with the ring in her hand and waved it in front of Mo Feng. Mo Feng didn't see it clearly, but this ring must belong to either Nangong Ji or Nangong Yan!

Yang Jianwu used Nangong Yan's items combined with Nangong Ji's words to trick Prince Rui. Originally, she only guessed that the man in black knew Nangong Yan, since they could produce the same poison, so there must be some connection! Unexpectedly, Prince Rui's expression showed a slight surprise when he saw the ring. Even though he hid it quickly, Yang Jianwu and Mo Ye still caught it!

This also confirmed that they all knew each other, and Yang Jianwu spoke with more confidence, "Your Highness Prince Rui, it's not that I'm making things difficult for you, but someone wants to drag you down with them, so you must do something practical for the people."

Mo Feng felt a metallic taste rise in his throat. If the Ghost Doctor hadn't been unaware of who was behind it all, he would have suspected the Ghost Doctor was doing it on purpose!

"The Ghost Doctor is right. It was my oversight. I will immediately send men to strengthen the defenses and make sure the thieves don't succeed again!"

He'd only brought this upon himself! Mo Feng had learned his lesson perfectly this time! He was willing to bet that if the Nangong family were to poison him again, the blame would fall on him!

Whether the world believes it or not is another matter. Once the ring representing the royal family is revealed, even ten mouths cannot explain it. Not only will they be forced to admit that they are involved in the poisoning of Lucheng, but they will also have to put their relationship with Nanyue into the open. At best, it means they have a good relationship in private. But if it is used by someone with ulterior motives, it could be considered treason!

Right now, we can only do as the Ghost Doctor said: strengthen our defenses and absolutely prevent any more poisoning incidents!

At the same time, we must find Nangong Ji and Nangong Yan as soon as possible and make them stop immediately! I wonder which of the two idiots gave the ring to the Ghost Doctor!

Yang Jianwu only remembered Nangong Yan, whom she had forgotten, when she took out the ring. Oh no! He'd been tied to Xiaobai for two or three days. Could he still be alive? He might not die without food or water, but how did he handle his personal affairs?

And that guy named Tiesheng! He was tied to a tree...

It couldn't possibly be... A series of filthy and messy images flashed through Yang Jianwu's mind. Yang Jianwu shook her head. Xiaobai loves cleanliness the most... She had to go and check on Xiaobai tonight!

The matter of Lucheng was completely resolved after Yang Jianwu's meddling.

There are only those who steal for a thousand days, but not those who guard against thieves for a thousand days. Relying solely on Prefect Feng's men for protection will always lack a guarantee. Now that Prince Rui has been dragged into this mess, there is no need to worry about any flaws in the defense.

Even if Prince Rui had the desire to poison someone, he wouldn't have the guts to do so. Not only could he not do it, but he also had to prevent others from taking the opportunity to cause trouble. In other words, he had to keep a close watch on the movements of Nanyue to prevent the Nanyue people from poisoning him again.

He divided his men into three groups. One group openly cooperated with the Prefect's office to guard the water source and carry out patrols. Another group searched for Nangong Ji and Nangong Yan, as their absence remained a potential threat. The third group was to monitor the movements of Nanyue to prevent the Imperial Preceptor from sending anyone to cause trouble again.

Mo Feng had thought his trip to Lucheng would win over the hearts of the people, but in the end he only got himself into a lot of trouble and got himself into a mess. He couldn't figure out where the problem lay for a long time!
