Chapter 424: It sounds absurd at first, but it is operable if you think about it carefully

~8 min read 1,495 words

"Report to the Ministry of Justice first, and let the Ministry of Justice arrange for a medical official to come over. Continue to investigate, start investigating from three days ago, any clues, any subtle abnormalities cannot be missed. Gather all the prison guards, and don't allow them to move around, connect, or talk at will. What are you still stunned for, hurry up and do it."

Chen Guanlou made a decisive decision and gave instructions one by one.

Whether or not the problem can be investigated, and whether or not the person who poisoned can be found, is not important. Regardless of who poisoned, they are just an executor, and the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be found.

If you really want to find it, you can actually find it.

The key is that no one will really look for the mastermind behind the scenes. The water here is too deep, and Chen Guanlou only wants to stand on the shore and doesn't intend to get his shoes wet.

The most critical point of this matter: report to the Ministry of Justice in time and let the Ministry of Justice share the responsibility.

This point is more important than anything else, a hundred times more important than investigating the poisoner.

The troublesome matter created by the Ministry of Justice, now that the Great Ming Prince is poisoned, regardless of whether he dies or not, the Ministry of Justice should not think about staying out of it. Even if it is a threat of death, Chen Guanlou must drag the Ministry of Justice into the water and bear the main responsibility.

He dismissed the prison guards and walked into the cell door alone.

Worried about disturbing Medical Official Mu, he stood to the side without speaking, just watching.

Medical Official Mu was performing acupuncture to save people; in the middle of winter, in the extremely cold Heavenly Prison, Medical Official Mu was sweating profusely. Chen Guanlou decisively transformed into a surgical nurse, helping Medical Official Mu.

Seeing that the rescue had come to an end, Chen Guanlou asked: "What's the situation now?"

"He won't die." Medical Official Mu gasped for breath; he was exhausted.

"Is it really poisoned? Accidental ingestion or..."

Medical Official Mu shook his head: "The poison didn't enter through the mouth. This is a type of poison similar to mist; you will be poisoned if you smell it, which is very difficult to prevent. But as far as I know, this poison is very rare, and it is said that one of the ingredients for making the poison is very difficult to find."

"You can be poisoned by smelling it? Will you die if you are poisoned?"

"If it weren't discovered in time, and with my life-saving prescription, the Great Ming Prince would definitely die." Medical Official Mu snorted coldly.

Chen Guanlou temporarily ignored the fact that Medical Official Mu was so awesome, but seized on the point of poison: "Such a powerful poison, Old Mu, you actually know it. Then where did the poison come from, do you have any clues?"

Medical Official Mu shook his head: "Regarding the source of the poison, I really don't know. I just encountered a similar poisoning case in my early years and made a small attempt, so I know a little bit. I don't even know what the name of this poison is in the Jianghu. However, I gave it a name myself, called 'Five Colors'. Colorless, so it's called Five Colors."

This name is really appropriate.

Chen Guanlou clicked his tongue in wonder.

"A mere Heavenly Prison, what kind of virtue and ability does it have to make the mastermind behind the scenes use the absolute killing poison that is only heard of in the Jianghu but never seen. Smelling it can cause death; it's so sharp. The Great Ming Prince is also lucky to have met you. And you happened to have experience in detoxifying. Old Mu, why is it such a coincidence in this world?"

Medical Official Mu glanced at him: "Prison Clerk Chen, what you said, how come, are you suspecting that I am the one who poisoned?"

That attitude and tone, it seemed like if they didn't agree, they would turn against each other.

Chen Guanlou waved his hand and smiled apologetically: "Old Mu, you misunderstood; I wouldn't suspect you even if I suspected anyone. If it were really you who poisoned, why would you save him?"

"What if I wanted to practice on him, what would you do?" Medical Official Mu snorted coldly, smiling but not smiling, wanting to see how Chen Guanlou would round it up.

"There are plenty of death row prisoners in the Heavenly Prison; if you want to practice, just say so. Don't say one person, I can get ten people for you to practice on. You don't need to practice on the Great Ming Prince specifically. It's really not necessary." Chen Guanlou said while waving his hand, as if he was going to get ten people for Medical Official Mu to practice on in the next second.

Medical Official Mu loosened his muscles and bones, stood up, and twisted his waist: "Fine, I'll let you pass. If I wanted to harm the Great Ming Prince, I would never use poisoning; it's too obvious."

"You are right, Old Mu; this poisoning move is too inferior and doesn't fit your temperament, let alone your intelligence." Chen Guanlou had to be careful to coax Medical Official Mu at this moment.

In case Medical Official Mu quit, the Great Ming Prince still had half a life with King Yama.

This is not allowed.

Medical Official Mu laughed, kicked the unconscious Great Ming Prince: "Just such a stupid thing, it's easy to take his life. No matter how you defend, you can't prevent it. Prison Clerk Chen, don't you think so?"

Chen Guanlou laughed dryly: "Old Mu, hurry up and save the person. If you save the person, I'll treat you to tea. The high-quality tea leaves I plucked from the Marquis's Mansion, I'll give you two taels in a while."

"This is what you said, then I won't be polite. Actually, if you ask me, you should take the initiative to poison the Great Ming Prince, and then spread it to everyone, which can save a lot of things."

Medical Official Mu's idea, at first hearing it was absurd, but thinking about it carefully, eh, it seems there is room for operation and the possibility of success.

There are countless people outside who want to kill the Great Ming Prince to destroy the old Emperor's sacrificial ceremony. If you take the first step and poison him, will those people outside still rack their brains to drill into the Heavenly Prison?

Chen Guanlou pondered the feasibility of this matter.

"Old Mu, can you grasp the dosage of the poison, not let him die, but also let him, um, show symptoms of being poisoned and dying?"

"I can. However, the sacrificial ceremony next year, how will you explain it? The superiors want a healthy, white, and fat Great Ming Prince; you give them a Great Ming Prince who is chronically poisoned and will die at any time; are you sure you can explain it?"

"Is there no poison that can be white and fat, and can show symptoms of being poisoned and dying at any time?"

"Such a demand is truly unique. There really isn't." Old Mu said so.

Chen Guanlou felt very disappointed.

He has a brain hole, but the material resources are limited, and he can't reach it!

"However, I have a poison that can keep people from dying, but can show symptoms of being poisoned and dying at any time. When the sacrificial ceremony arrives, stop the poison, and it will recover quickly."

Medical Official Mu changed the subject, and there was a turn for the better.

Chen Guanlou was overjoyed: "This is good! Just this poison. Old Mu, you can do it."

"Are you really going to poison the Great Ming Prince? Aren't you afraid that I will take this opportunity to really poison him to death? Aren't you afraid that I won't grasp the dosage well and ruin the person all at once?"

"Old Mu, look at what you're saying, how can you disparage yourself so much. You are a divine doctor! How can things like poisoning people and not grasping the dosage happen to you. Don't make up eight things just to fool me."

Chen Guanlou reprimanded solemnly.

Medical Official Mu laughed; he had already harvested today's happiness and was very satisfied. Looking at the hourglass, when the time came, pull the needle!

"Being able to save the person, it all depends on my acupuncture method. Prison Clerk Chen, you've made a fortune."

Chen Guanlou was very sensible: "Two taels of tea leaves are not enough, far from enough. At least three taels. Otherwise, it's looking down on Old Mu." ===== CHAPTER 425 =====
