Chapter 75: Settle a cause and effect!
Cao Feng naturally wouldn't just sit there and do nothing.
He knew better than anyone what serious consequences would result if Zhao Min died in the Ming Dynasty government office.
The Mongols were not a monolithic entity.
Although the internal strife was not as intense as that in the Ming Dynasty, there were still several factions.
Among them was the faction that pushed Pangban back.
And the power is not small.
If not for this, with the strength of the Yuan Dynasty, once the whole country went to war, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to stop it.
Even adding a Song Dynasty is not enough.
Among the several nearby dynasties, only the Sui Dynasty, which had the most serious internal strife, could compete with the Mongols.
It is naturally not an easy task for such a powerful country to unify its thoughts.
But it’s not too difficult.
As long as there is an excuse to send troops, even those who don't want to fight have to go with the trend.
Cao Feng would never take the initiative to give the Mongols an excuse to send troops.
Zhao Min cannot die!
At least you can't die for now.
……
The required medication was quickly obtained.
After Cao Feng made a rough check and confirmed that there were no inferior products being passed off as good ones, he set off and walked towards the government office accompanied by Master Liao.
He already had some guesses in his mind about the poison that Zhao Min had been poisoned with.
If nothing goes wrong, it shouldn't be difficult to detoxify it and it won't take much time.
When the two arrived at the government office.
The prefect, who was weak due to kidney deficiency, had been waiting for a long time, and was accompanied by Xie Budong and others.
It was obvious that Master Liao had sent someone to make the notification first.
"Captain Cao, we have been waiting for you for so long that you are finally here!"
The prefect came forward excitedly, looking like he was crying for joy.
Cao Feng glanced at the other person indifferently, ignored him, and walked straight through the crowd towards the prison.
He doesn't have the time to be polite.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and the prefect was also quite annoyed.
After all, he was a third-rank official. Although he did not hold an office in the capital, he still had some say in the court.
A mere bronze medal captain actually dares to look at me in such a disgrace?
He has no respect for hierarchy and is extremely insolent!
However, now that I have to ask for help from others, no matter how angry the prefect is, I have to endure it for now.
Not only that, you even have to follow behind and serve.
……
Led by the prefect, a group of people followed Cao Feng's footsteps.
Soon they arrived at the prison in a mighty procession.
Cao Feng ignored this and just focused on doing his own thing.
"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me while I was removing the poison? Do you want her to die?"
As soon as they arrived at the cell where Zhao Min was imprisoned, an angry voice immediately rang out from inside.
Cao Feng looked through the prison door.
He saw a white-haired old Ji staring at him with anger in her eyes.
"Ok?"
Cao Feng raised his eyebrows.
Who is this?
Strange faces.
When he first heard that a master had come to Qixia Town, he was still wondering who was so good at detoxification.
When I think about it carefully, there are a few that I can barely match.
But the person in front of me is not the one in my memory.
He suppressed the doubts in his heart, turned his gaze to Zhao Min, and immediately said to himself, "As expected."
Judging from the symptoms, the poison that Zhao Min was poisoned with was almost entirely caused by him!
It's Zhao Min's bad luck.
After the poison in Cao Feng's body was shattered, among the people he came into contact with, Zhao Min was the weakest and had no protective qi.
Just a little bit of residual poison powder could almost take her life.
However, Zhao Min was not destined to die.
If there hadn't been several antidotes among the shattered medicines, she would have died on the spot and would not have survived until now.
"Hmph, are you deaf, little kid? Didn't you hear what I said?" Seeing that Cao Feng ignored him, Old Ji snorted in anger.
Cao Feng originally wanted to ignore this person.
But the "scent recognition" made him smell a familiar scent.
Upon closer inspection, traces of disguise were immediately discovered.
"Old man? Little kid?"
Cao Feng chuckled and shook his head.
Then, he changed to voice transmission and said, "Not long ago, you should have met Liu Xingyu. Didn't she tell you that there is someone who can see through her disguise?"
Instantly, Lao Ji's expression changed drastically. He stepped back subconsciously and exclaimed, "You, you are the evil ghost in human skin!"
The previously hoarse voice became shrill, and it was obvious that it belonged to a young woman.
Cao Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, a sneer appearing at the corner of his mouth.
It seems that we were too gentle on that female thief.
How dare she slander him behind his back.
"If you don't want to experience what Liu Xingyu went through, just wait aside."
Cao Feng said this coldly and pushed the door open.
He came to the straw mat, reached out to check on Zhao Min's condition, and couldn't help but look at "Old Ji" with some surprise.
It’s no wonder that this person really has some abilities and he actually suppressed the strange poison.
Even if there are many coincidences.
But this person's methods of suppression and detoxification are quite novel.
If she had been treated earlier, perhaps he wouldn't have needed to take action himself and the other party could have saved Zhao Min's life.
Unfortunately, it was delayed for too long.
There is no point in using the current methods anymore.
Cao Feng retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Sacrificing the rook to save the king, this is in line with the style of you little thieves."
"you……"
"Lao Ji" wanted to retort.
But when he thought of Cao Feng's methods, he immediately swallowed the words.
Cao Feng no longer cared about the other party and turned Zhao Min over.
Then he grabbed the collar and was about to tear it off.
Seeing this, the group of people outside the prison door guessed what Cao Feng wanted to do and quickly retreated as quickly as possible.
How can you just look at the body of the 'God of Plague'?
Stab! ~
The clothes were torn, revealing a weak and thin back.
Cao Feng just glanced at it casually, and then took out a wooden box from his sleeve.
The wooden box was opened, revealing nine silver needles about two inches long.
With a flick of Cao Feng's finger, nine silver needles suddenly jumped out of the wooden box and hovered in front of him.
Then, it continued to fall into Zhao Min's body at a speed that was difficult to discern with the naked eye.
"Nine Needles of Heaven!"
Seeing this, Lao Ji, who was watching from the sidelines, couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
Cao Feng raised his eyebrows slightly and said indifferently: "If you have time to be surprised, you might as well observe carefully."
Lao Ji didn't know why he did this.
But he shut his mouth obediently and watched Cao Feng perform acupuncture attentively.
Outside the cell.
After hearing Lao Ji's exclamation, most people looked confused.
Only Master Liao and an old man with a white beard looked surprised.
"What are the Nine Heavenly Needles?"
The prefect asked in a low voice, his tone unable to conceal his anxiety.
He only hoped that Cao Feng could take the person away, but he didn't want him to kill him!
Master Liao was about to answer, but after a little thought, he bowed to the white-bearded old man and said, "Let Elder Qi solve your doubts. I am just a layman, and Elder Qi is the master of medicine."
"Master, you are too kind. I dare not call myself a master."
The white-bearded old man said modestly.
Soon he changed the subject, stroked his beard and smiled, "However, I can answer a few of your questions, Lord Fujun."
