"Of course it's the Venomous Armored Insects, but how do you know about it? It's used to punish traitors in the tribes in the south. My uncle has seen it once, and it's very evil. "
Xiu couldn't hide her disgust in her clear eyes.
It must be because the Venomous Armored Insects were so cruel that even the people of the Dongfang family couldn't stand it.
However, if someone among them really used the Venomous Armored Insects, even if she couldn't find it out, it couldn't escape her teacher's eyes.
Then, there was only one possibility.
Among these people, someone might have touched the Venomous Armored Insects or mustard seeds.
Thinking of this, Lin Mengya felt that this was the most likely answer.
"Brother Li Jia, please help me to invite the Prince here."
She lifted the curtain and saw a capable guard casually protecting her.
This person was one of Long Tianhao's right-hand men. Although he didn't talk much, he was very calm and capable.
After hearing Lin Mengya's order, Li Jia answered in a low voice, and then rode the horse forward.
After a while, Long Tianhao lifted the curtain of the carriage, and his long and narrow eyes were a little nervous.
However, after seeing Lin Mengya's ruddy face, he gradually calmed down.
"Is there anything wrong with your body?"
Lin Mengya was a little speechless. She didn't know what was going on. Since she was injured, Long Tianhao always treated her as a paper doll.
"I'm not so delicate. I invite you here because Xiu found something. So I want to discuss it with you. "
Lin Mengya smiled, and then asked Xiu to tell Long Tianhao about the relationship between mustard seeds and the Venomous Armored Insects.
After hearing the last part, Long Tianhao frowned deeply.
Presumably, he was thinking about who was the most likely person, just like Lin Mengya.
"I don't think it's a spy who did it. Just now Xiu also said that if you accidentally touch it, you will also have the smell of mustard seeds. Among these people, there may be people who came back from the epidemic area in Yunzhou. "
Lin Mengya said slowly. Long Tianhao took a deep look at her and nodded in agreement.
"There are about four or five people who came back from the epidemic area, but they all sent messages in the rear and didn't go deep into the epidemic area. In that case, the person controlling the Venomous Armored Insects might be hiding in the back? "
This proved Lin Mengya's assumption that the plague had been poisoned.
Otherwise, why would the most important part of the poison be the powder of the Venomous Armored Insects?
Now, why was there a medicine like mustard seed that could control the Armored Venomous Insects?
All of this was too much of a coincidence.
"That's hard to say. After all, nine out of ten cities in the Cloud Province are empty. The surrounding prefectures don't dare to send people in to help. If this person wants to spread the poison to other places, he should hide among the refugees and move elsewhere to avoid attracting attention. "
Lin Mengya's speculation made sense.
If it was poison, then the distance it could spread was limited.
This kind of poison, in particular, had to be measured to a certain concentration before it would take a person's life.
In other words, this person hid among the refugees and almost went around the entire Yunzhou.
This person's schemes and methods were truly formidable.
"I'll set it up right away."
Long Tianhao also knew the seriousness of the matter, so he immediately went to issue an order to deal with the refugees.
In the horse carriage, Xiu was rolling her big eyes. The serious atmosphere made her feel at a loss.
"Don't be afraid. Thanks to your nose, we survived today."
Lin Mengya thought that she scared Xiu, so she couldn't help but soften her voice to comfort her.
But Xiu shook her head, and somehow, her little face became a little solemn.
"Sister, you misunderstood me. I'm not afraid. It's just that it seems that someone is using the Venomous Armored Insects. However, that tribe had been completely annihilated five years ago. The porter of our Dongfang family went to have a look and heard that there was no one in the stockaded village. And those mustard seeds in the surrounding forest also disappeared. Could it be haunted? "
Hearing Xiu's words, Lin Mengya was slightly stunned.
"They disappeared five years ago. Perhaps they moved to another place. Who knows?"
Xiu shook her head desperately and said, "No.
"No, mustard seeds can only survive on that mountain. No matter what methods are used in other places, they can't survive. Their tribe lives by driving venomous insects, so they absolutely can't live without mustard seeds. Otherwise, those venomous insects will also bite them. "
At this moment, Lin Mengya had just sorted out the clues, but she became confused again.
The only tribe that could use mustard seeds to drive the Venomous Armored Insects disappeared five years ago.
Lin Mengya felt that this matter must have something to do with the Candle Dragon Cult.
Her heart sank slightly. It was not enough to have the Xin family with poison skills. Now, even the venomous poison tribe was involved.
What on earth did the Candle Dragon Cult want to do?
"Mengya, everyone is here."
While she was pondering, Long Tianhao's low voice suddenly came from outside.
Lin Mengya stopped thinking and walked out of the carriage with Xiu.
In the open space in front of the carriage, five attendants in neat clothes were looking at them nervously.
Lin Mengya showed a gentle smile and said softly, "Don't worry, everyone.
I just heard that you all came back from the epidemic area. In order to prevent you from being infected with the plague, I want to give you a simple examination. "
Hearing Lin Mengya's words, the five people became more nervous.
They all came back from the epidemic area, and they saw the terrible disease with their own eyes. At this moment, the five people couldn't wait for Lin Mengya to examine them carefully so that they could be at ease.
Lin Mengya gestured to Xiu, whose nose was very sensitive to mustard seeds.
As long as she carefully identified, she would definitely be able to find the person who was contaminated with mustard seeds.
However, maybe because of the long time, Xiu only identified two people in the end.
Seeing Xiu wavering and trying hard to identify, Lin Mengya had to wait patiently.
On the other hand, the foreheads of those two people were drenched in cold sweat.
They were probably praying in their hearts that they would not be infected.
"Yes, it's him."
After trying hard to identify, Xiu pointed with her little finger and identified one of them.
The expressions of the two people were immediately different. The one who was not selected naturally smiled happily and felt that it was a false alarm.
The other one looked as if he had lost his parents and almost burst into tears on the spot.
"Your Highness, please save me."
The pale-faced attendant thought that he had been poisoned.
But unexpectedly, Long Tianhao waved his hand and asked the other four people to leave.
Lin Mengya looked at the attendant in front of her. Although he was a little timid, who could be calm in a life and death situation?
Moreover, he died in such a painful way. They were afraid, which could only mean that the poison was really overbearing and strange.
"Don't worry. In fact, you are not hopeless. Moreover, you are not infected with the plague. I asked you to stay because I want to ask you a few questions. "
Lin Mengya's tone was gentle, and it had a calming effect on the servant's heart.
At this moment, he was scared out of his wits. Of course, he would answer whatever Lin Mengya said.
"When you were in the epidemic area, did you meet any strange people? In addition to the people we sent, did you have close contact with anyone else? "
This was very important. After all, he was sent by Long Tianhao to pass the message.
Therefore, he should not be in contact with ordinary people.
Moreover, those officers and soldiers in charge of the rescue were transferred after the outbreak of the epidemic.
According to her speculation, the person who released the poison should be disguised as a refugee, so that it would be easy to kill him.
The attendant tried hard to recall and said hesitantly after a long while.
"I was in charge of passing the message. Generally, I contacted people in our military camp. Oh, I remember. Before I came here, I helped that doctor once. Except for him, there were no outsiders. "
"Doctor? Which doctor? "
Lin Mengya asked. The man also completely remembered and immediately responded.
"It's Doctor Gu. Thanks to him, those patients with less serious conditions can recover. We all admire Doctor Gu's character, so as long as he needs help, the people in our military camp will not stand by and do nothing. "
It turned out to be Doctor Gu who suddenly appeared.
Lin Mengya did not expect that the person who was most likely to control the Venomous Armored Insects turned out to be this doctor.
"What kind of person does Doctor Gu usually behave?"
The attendant seemed to hold Doctor Gu in high esteem and repeatedly mentioned a lot of benefits of Doctor Gu.
"Doctor Gu is a good man. At that time, none of the doctors who followed the army was willing to go deep into the epidemic area. It was Doctor Gu who took the initiative to carry the wounded inside alone. Doctor Gu's medical skills are really wonderful. We all used Doctor Gu's medicine sachets, so we didn't get infected with the plague at all. It's just that the sachets are very precious. After using them, Doctor Gu took them back. "
As soon as the attendant finished speaking, Lin Mengya and Xiu looked at each other and made a conclusion in their hearts.
"Well, thank you very much. Since you have Doctor Gu's medicine sachets, you won't get infected with the plague. "
After thanking the attendant, Lin Mengya returned to the carriage with Xiu.
After a while, Long Tianhao also sat in the carriage.
"What do you think?"
Long Tianhao looked at Lin Mengya inquiringly, and the latter also showed the same expression as him.
"It seems that I can't be wrong. However, this person has a deep influence now. If we simply arrest him, I'm afraid it will cause public anger. "
Long Tianhao naturally had his own considerations. On this point, Lin Mengya had the same attitude as him.
