Chapter 587

Inside were things shaped like peanuts, dozens of them, but each was only the size of a mung bean, some pale, some slightly yellow, and even slightly transparent. But this thing is not a peanut... Thanks to his good eyesight, he stared and said "Eh": "Bee pupae?"

These little things are all bee pupae, with bellies, claws, and limbs, but they are already half-dried, and none of them are alive.

"This thing is refined from the Holding Bee," Li Qingge explained, "Have you heard of it?"

"Of course," He Lingchuan laughed, "I saw a person in Heishuicheng seeking revenge from the Holding Bee, stung until his whole body swelled up, as if his throat was blocked and he couldn't breathe, thanks to the doctor being skilled that he picked up a life."

Since then, he knew that the Holding Bee was one of the killer bees. One male and one female could form a nest. They particularly cherish their offspring, so they hold the bee pupae under their bellies to protect them at the slightest disturbance, hence the name.

If an enemy steals the bee pupae, they will pursue to the ends of the earth.

Li Qingge pointed to the two needles on the compass: "These two are the abdominal needles of the Holding Bee. Their instinct remains after death, so we use their characteristics to create this needle box."

She took out a bee pupa and threw it at the pillar in the corner of the room.

The bee pupa didn't make a sound and shattered, leaving a pale yellow spot on the pillar.

He Lingchuan saw that the two needles on the compass moved.

"The small needle is the female bee's, it will point to the location where the bee pupa shattered."

"The big needle is the male bee's, it will mark the distance on the scale."

He Lingchuan looked, and sure enough, the scale pointed to by the big needle was within one zhang.

"We have tested it, its effective tracking distance is within 1,200 li."

He Lingchuan clapped his hands: "Good thing, so convenient! It will definitely sell well when it goes on the market."

Using this to track and tail enemies is really too convenient. Previously, tracking divine abilities were varied, but most of the casting processes were complicated and the conditions were harsh. How could it be as simple, convenient, efficient, fast, and accurate as this Tracking Bee? Just by focusing on convenience, efficiency, speed, and accuracy, He Lingchuan knew that this thing wouldn't worry about selling.

Li Qingge patted the box into his palm and smiled: "Borrow your auspicious words, it will go on the market next spring. If you run out of bee pupae, you can go to the Songyang Prefecture branch in Lingxu City to replenish. Just install it in the box for a day and night, and the bee needle will default to this as its offspring."

He Lingchuan accepted it happily.

Li Qingge had already achieved her purpose for this trip, so she switched topics and chatted about some interesting news in Lingxu City.

She herself has a quality that makes people feel like a spring breeze no matter what content she chats about, and it leaves people wanting more.

Before long, Fushan Yue returned.

He didn't mind this table of leftovers, sat down and drank two big pots of wine with Li Qingge, making her cheeks flushed and she left quickly.

Fushan Yue then asked He Lingchuan: "You brat, privately meeting a beauty while I was away?"

"If I wanted to meet a beauty, I wouldn't choose here," He Lingchuan said with disdain, "There are too many people spoiling the scenery."

"What did she come to do?"

"Nian Zanli held the shortfalls of Songyang Prefecture, and the Marquis of Songyang couldn't bear it, so she wanted to ask the Crown Prince for help."

"Me?" Fushan Yue pointed to his own nose, "The two of them are consuming each other, and the Marquis of Songyang wants to ask me for help?"

He Lingchuan nodded.

"Don't tell me she wants me to borrow troops for Nian Zanli?" Fushan Yue was surprised, "The distance from Chiyan to Nian Zanli's territory is called..."

"Xunzhou."

"Right, the distance from Chiyan to Xunzhou is too far," not to mention tens of thousands of people, even transporting an army of a few thousand people, the cost of food and horses is too difficult.

"The Xuluo Kingdom is closer."

"The King of Xuluo has a good relationship with my father," Fushan Yue coughed slightly, "But I slaughtered two subordinates of the Xuluo Kingdom's Grand Tutor, so..."

Before he finished speaking, He Lingchuan snatched the wine pot from his hand.

"If you want to drink, go buy it yourself."

Can't help, what face do you have to drink his wine?

"Hey!" Do you have to be so mercenary?

"Didn't say I really want to borrow troops, just said to let the Marquis of Songyang avoid being threatened."

Fushan Yue shrugged: "Think of a way, then tell me." After saying that, he leaned over and asked him, "Are you interested in the Marquis of Songyang?"

He Lingchuan said lightly: "No such thing, but I owe her a favor."

Favors are debts, and they must be repaid.

"Is that so, then it's a pity," Fushan Yue snatched the wine pot back when he wasn't paying attention.

He Lingchuan walked into the courtyard and stretched.

Li Qingge praised him well, saying he "is not that kind of person," but He Lingchuan understood that she dared to hand this matter to him mainly because He Lingchuan also had a handle in her hands, and they were even.

Furthermore, she knew his background; she even knew he was from Heishuicheng, right next to the Panlong Desert.

Li Qingge might not know that these messages could put him to death, but revealing them to Nian Zanli or Hong Chenglue could cause him trouble.

Most importantly, Li Qingge probably thought he didn't know what was hidden in the bamboo tube.

The next day, Fushan Yue gave He Lingchuan feedback: the poison detected on the tables and chairs in his guest room on the day of the explosion could quickly penetrate the human body through the skin, causing shock, coma, and death by suffocation.

This is not a biological toxin, but a medicinal powder extracted from a stone. If only a very small dose is added, it can be used for hemiplegia treatment, so the Lingxu City government has not banned its sale on the market.

But after it is mixed with a few medicinal materials such as white fish gall, it will undergo a wonderful chemical reaction and become a killer weapon.

Several new envoys moved out on the day of the explosion, so many servants were moving luggage in and out of the guesthouse during the day. I don't know if the murderer seized this opportunity. He Lingchuan was just a special envoy, and the protection of his guest room was not that strict.

He Lingchuan was expressionless when he heard this: "In other words, nothing was found?"

"The government office is still working hard," Fushan Yue coughed, "The other party intended to plot against you, of course, trying not to leave traces, not to mention that there was a big explosion behind."

Explosion has always been one of the best ways to destroy evidence.

"I pressured the government office several times, and the Royal Court won't sit idly by. Wait for news." The Chiyan Crown Prince was attacked at the guesthouse; the nature of this incident was too bad, and it happened at a special time, so Lingxu City needed to give the Chiyan Kingdom an explanation.

He Lingchuan nodded and turned to walk out.

"Where are you going?"

"Go to Xu Mountain for a stroll and admire the ruins of the Immortal Sect."

He answered calmly, without any anger.

Because he really wasn't angry.

Why would someone poison him first and then detonate it in the guesthouse? Why go to the trouble of doing it twice to kill someone? The reason is very simple: the explosives were placed and detonated by himself.

It's not the first or second time he has used explosives, and he has even tested them repeatedly back in Panlong City, so the power of this explosion was controlled perfectly, and almost no one except himself was seriously injured.

Once the news spread, "He Xiao's" popularity in Lingxu City went up another level, and it would be difficult for the powerful to take action against him again.

Coming to Lingxu City as a nobody, facing the crouching tigers and hidden dragons here, He Lingchuan has two magic weapons to protect himself.

One is called transparency.

One is called justice.

Putting himself under everyone's nose, receiving attention from both the powerful and the common people, and without major flaws, this is transparency.

Once everyone knows he is here for the Anti-Aging Pill case and was injured for investigating the truth, he puts on a coat of justice and selflessness.

When the name He Xiao is hot, even the Demon Emperor wouldn't want to take action against him directly.

But the poison on the tables and chairs that night was the work of others.

Someone really wanted his life.

He Lingchuan discovered two people sneaking into his guest room to poison him through the eyeball spider, so he decided to trigger the explosion after returning to the guesthouse.

The water was already muddy enough, and he came to add fuel to the fire, which is called lively.

As for why the South City government office hasn't found out who poisoned him, whether they are incompetent or slacking off, He Lingchuan doesn't care.

This is the best result.

If the murderer cannot be found, then everyone who has a grudge against him, including the Grand Minister, the Cen family, the Zhongsun family, and even the Fan brothers, has become a potential suspect.

Once the explosion case spreads throughout the city again, and everyone points fingers behind their backs, his opponents will be too late to avoid suspicion, so how can they dare to take action against him?

Lingxu City, after all, is a place with royal law.

He Lingchuan beckoned to the big tree in the courtyard, and a shadow jumped from the branch to his shoulder.

The Goshawk standing on the roof just glanced here and turned its head to ignore it.

On the first day the squirrel moved into the big tree, it had already reported to Lord Wu. When the Goshawk was hungry, it wouldn't treat it as a snack.

He Lingchuan took a few hazelnuts for it; he had always been generous to the demons around him.

The squirrel gnawed happily, and at the same time said: "The car picking you up has already arrived."

He Lingchuan walked out of the residence gate and saw a donkey cart parked there.

It seems the Great Horned Sheep doesn't have to work today.

Old Ge guest-starred as the coachman, wrapped the whip tip in his hand and spun it, saying: "Exclusive car pick-up, this is the treatment enjoyed by VIPs!"

He Lingchuan boarded the car, and the donkey cart started to move, heading north all the way.

Old Ge wrapped the whip tip in his hand and spun it, saying: "The Chen brothers you are tracking are already dead."

It thought He Lingchuan would be displeased, but this person's expression was still indifferent, and he was still watching the street scene.

"Time of death?"

"The coroner sent by the government believes they probably died the evening before last, the day after the guesthouse explosion."

He Lingchuan gave an "en": "Silencing the witness."

As expected.

Old Ge asked for instructions: "Do you want to continue investigating?"

"If you continue to investigate, at most you can only find the middleman, right?"

"Perhaps," Old Ge didn't deny it, "These nobles above don't want to dirty their hands, so they usually hire middlemen. They are all very experienced."

He knew this set very well because he was also a middleman.

"Then don't investigate, I have a count in my heart."
