Chapter 123: The poisonous hand falls invisibly (Part 1)
Chapter 486 The poisonous hand falls invisibly (Part 1)
Noon, backstage.
Compared to the noisy and lively outside, this "player rest area" is relatively quiet and more orderly.
In this competition, the contestants' dining area, including the chef who provides them with food, is obviously separate from those used by the audience outside.
The reason is also very simple: if everyone is having a meal together, if someone is "poisoning", it is difficult to prevent and even more difficult to check.
At present, within the competition venue, there are those who come to watch the competition, and those who organize the competition... There are thousands of people. If you don’t manage it separately, when the meal starts, you will be able to catch up with ants, even if you invite a security captain like ten abbots, you will not be able to watch it.
So catering is a two standard.
There are special "small stoves" in the backstage, all of which are cooked by the Murong family and the Baquan Sect themselves. They can’t help but have people patrolling each other when they cook to prevent anyone from doing anything when the chef is distracted.
For these "small-stove meals", only those who are "qualified to enter the backstage" can go to eat; if there is any problem with the people eating here, the scope of investigation will naturally be much smaller.
Of course, it is better if you bring your own food, or if you want to go out and eat with people outside, it is your freedom, but if you are poisoned, you will be responsible for it.
And outside the backstage, it is relatively free.
The food supply here are all merchants in Cangzhou City. They all received news from Baquan Sect in advance that there will be a "market" here today, and they will come here to set up a stall at noon if they want to make extra money.
For these merchants, the organizer is only responsible for maintaining the security and order of the "market". As for what they sell and what price they sell, they don't care.
Anyway, just from the situation at noon on the first day, there are many choices, and the business of each stall is very good. In addition to the common buns, noodles, wontons, dumplings, and there are also fried dishes and wine-selling. As soon as noon arrives, there are dozens of stalls in this area, which is so fresh and fragrant and full of people.
Someone may ask: So what should I do if the people who eat in this "market" outside are poisoned?
Actually, if you think about this carefully, it is a waste of time. If someone wants to poison one or a few of these people, then after they arrived in Cangzhou City a few days ago, they could have eaten in the city? The city is not strictly controlled.
To put it bluntly, there are poisoning things in the world every day, but not many sects or individuals who have truly mastered high-end poisoning technology.
Ordinary people poison it is almost the same as ordinary people in modern times. Maybe it is a bit more concealed; there are so many eyes here, you take out a bag of powdery things, or take a small bottle filled with liquid and "add ingredients" into someone's pot and bowl. Can't they see it? If your poison is not precise and poison it to others first, and your goal is fine and you are exposed, isn't that funny?
Furthermore, many people who travel around the world have their own methods to test and avoid poisons, and they will be prepared for this occasion.
To sum up, what we need to focus on today is actually those "high-end poisoning targeting backstage players".
but……
There is such a person who is not very high-end in terms of the means of poisoning, the poison he chooses, or even the purpose of poisoning.
But he was in the backstage and had quite good poisoning conditions.
I believe you have guessed that this person is Shao Shanhu.
Shao Shanhu's goal is undoubtedly the ugly Dugu Yong who made him publicly a few days ago.
Let’s not mention Shao Shanhu’s methods of poisoning. Anyway, you will see it immediately. Let’s talk about the “poison” he chose and the purpose of poisoning... In fact, they are quite simple, or quite LOW.
He just planned to get some laxatives for Dugu Yong's lunch, so that Dugu Yong would go to the toilet to play well after dinner.
And he has calculated that Dugu Yong's next game, that is, the first game of the second round, will only start the game at the right time. At that time, Dugu Yong's legs must have been numb. Secondly, the medicinal power of this laxative is probably not enough, and it is quite a delicate state.
At that time, Dugu Yong would definitely not be willing to give up the game because of this. It would be nice to say this reason, and then he would probably go to the ring with his teeth. Then... it would be best if he exerted his strength on the stage, his pants were swollen and his face was ruined. Even if he could hold back, his condition would definitely be greatly affected. If he was eliminated, he would only be a mute and sucking Coptis.
The most important thing is that if someone really investigates the laxatives, he is suspected of being Shao Shanhu, and he can definitely rely on him... He just said that the organizer's food was not clean and his stomach was not feeling well. Why?
Let’s take a step back, even if he was stolen and caught when he was laxative, what if? This is not a poison. Can I apologize to you? If it doesn’t work, I will take it?
Although Shao Shanhu is neither smart nor particular, just his plan to give laxatives today is really a good plan with far higher returns than risks, and is very close to the level of "double harmony poisoning".
But... he himself didn't expect that his operation that he had no plans and did not dare to kill people would be exploited, and by chance he made a big mistake that was difficult to end.
"Senior Dugu, Master Gao, Brother Dugu, Miss Gao, are polite here."
Shao Shanhu also did it as soon as he said he could do it. Not long after lunch started, he carried a glass of wine and walked slowly to the table between Dugu and son and Gao family, and greeted the people one by one.
Here I mentioned a little bit. Although the "Hundred-turn Thousand-Blade Sect" did not participate in the competition, as Dugu Shengyue, as an old friend of Dugu Sheng, took his daughter Gao Yudian as a relative and friend to accompany Dugu and his son to the backstage. The main thing is... Now, except for Dugu Yong himself, he still has some lingering taste. Others, including many local gangs, have already agreed that Baizhuan Qiandao Sect is the in-laws of the Jinling Sword Prince Mansion. Who is the family still talking about it? Therefore, no one thinks that there are any rules for these four people to come together.
"Hmph... are we very familiar with you? Just get close to you?" Gao Yidian's temperament would never give him any face to the other party just because Shao Shanhu said soft words with a fake smile. She sat there without raising her eyelids, and she opened her mouth and started to whine.
"Hey~ Girl, how did you talk?" Gao Shengyue next to him couldn't let his daughter do this. After all, he was making a living in Cangzhou. If you look up and see him, you will not be able to see him. If you don't treat the other person as a human being, it will be bad to completely tear him apart. So while pretending to scold Gao Yutian, he quietly kicked his daughter's heel under the table, indicating that she would not make it difficult for her father to be a father.
"Haha, the wise nephew of the Shao family, my daughter is straightforward, don't worry about it." After a breath, Gao Shengyue turned around and showed a "business smile" at Shao Shanhu.
Although his tone was polite, his butt was sitting on the bench and didn't move at all, which showed that he had no sincerity and did not like Shao Shanhu very much.
In normal times, just these two sentences were enough for Shao Shanhu to lift the table three times.
But today he was trying to get bad things, so he could still bear it.
"Hahaha... I dare not, I will offend you a few days ago. I hope Master Gao, Miss Gao..." Shao Shanhu said, looking at Dugu Yong, "There is also Brother Dugu... forgive me, forgive me."
He bowed while saying that, and put on a very low posture.
But with his acting skills and scheming, not to mention the two old people here, even Dugu Yonghe Gao Yitian would not believe it.
Everyone knows that this guy is not holding back his weight, so the more he does this, the more he makes the people at this table alert.
"Brother Shao is so serious, I have some impulsive things that day..." If Dugu Yong's usual style was always there, he would not be able to win over each other, but now his father is by his side, Gao Shiwang's attitude seems to be relatively relaxed. Dugu Yong was to give face to these two elders and to quickly send Shao Shanhu away, so he responded, "As the saying goes, enemies should be resolved rather than to make a fortune. Everyone is a son and daughter of the world, and they are willing to have a grudge. There is nothing to say... Let's drink this cup, no matter what we had before, just write it off."
After saying that, Dugu Yong picked up the wine glass in front of him, stood up and toasted Shao Shanhu.
This move is exactly what Shao Shanhu wants. He came over with a glass of wine, waiting for this critical moment. According to his idea, since the other party had drank this glass with him, as long as he did not say goodbye immediately, the other party should have asked him to sit down and drink a few more glasses to be considered polite, and then he would have a chance to drug.
Unexpectedly, after Dugu Yong and him finished the cup, they lit the bottom of the cup, raised their hands very smoothly, and answered the word "please", then moved their eyes away from Shao Shanhu and sat down on their own.
What a guy, let alone Shao Shanhu, the two old men Dugu Sheng and Gao Shengyue were a little unable to bear it.
The word Dugu Yong said was not "please", it was clearly "get out".
However, although Dugu Yong's move is impolite, he is too neat and looks as if he deserves it, and he is embarrassed to become someone else.
After Dugu Yong sat down, Shao Shanhu stood there for five or six seconds. The time for these few seconds seemed extremely long. The shame and anger he felt at this moment was no less than when Dugu Yong knocked down from the ring before.
This time, Shao Shanhu really wanted to turn over the table.
Unexpectedly, just as he was about to get angry and reveal his true face...
"Hey~ Isn't this Brother Hu? Come on, let's sit together with everyone." Sun Yixie came out of nowhere, and he stood up with Shao Shanhu, making a familiar look, and he immediately relieved the siege.
Of course, all the readers must understand that Sun Huang and the other two had been watching the situation here in the dark. At this time, Sun Yixie appeared, so there was naturally a conspiracy.
"I just said, everyone is brother, just solve any misunderstandings~ That's right, Uncle Shi, I'm sorry, let's squeeze it." Sun Yixi's face was thicker than the one who added a piece to the table. He said while squeezing down next to Dugu Sheng.
The tables used by everyone at this time were square tables, but the stool was not a round stool that could only sit on one person, but a relatively long and wide stool, so the two of them could sit on one stool together.
Sun Yixie not only sat next to Dugu Sheng, but also pulled Shao Shanhu into the table naturally and let him sit next to Dugu Yong. The two separated Dugu and his son.
This made Shao Shanhu so happy. He thought to himself that Brother Sun is really comparable to the timely rain. Not only did he relieve my embarrassment, but he also provided me with such good conditions. If this matter is done, I will become a sworn brother with you.
He didn't know that just when Sun Yixi came up and hanged his arms around him, he had already "replaced" the bag of laxatives hidden in his belt on the back.
What does it mean to steal for forty years? Although Sun Yixie is not a professional pickpocket, he still has no problem doing this little move behind the scenes when Shao Shanhu was angry and was about to get angry.
From Sun Huang's perspective, a few minutes ago, they noticed that Shao Shanhu was like a fool, glanced at Dugu Yong's table sneakily, while touching his back from time to time, and seeing that he was confirming whether something was in his belt.
So, Sun Huang put together and analyzed what Shao Shanhu was going to do.
Finally, we concluded that this kid should not dare to apply any deadly poison. He is likely to want to apply some laxatives, sweating drugs or something slightly toxic to affect Dugu Yong's game.
If you think about it this way, it would be better to just use the trick, give him a "stolen reason" and give him a packet of vitamin C, so that he can think that the drug has been successful, and then we will find another opportunity to let him take his own bag of things.
Of course, I just say "vitamin C" in that way, which actually refers to the kind of powder that is colorless and tasteless and has no effect after taking it. Huang Donglai has some of this kind because he has a hobby of "alchemy and pharmaceuticals". Although the refinement rate of what he really wants to refine is not high, he will produce various strange by-products from time to time, such as the "stinky mucus" in the previous document, which is one of them.
In short, after Sun Huang made up his plan, he began to act. Sun Yixie was responsible for dealing with Shao Shanhu's side. Huang Donglai... Of course, he was going to attract Shao Dejin's attention.
Because of Shao Shanhu's plan to slag the drug, his father must have known it. As the saying goes, it's not that the whole family doesn't enter the family.
In order to prevent Brother Sun from being discovered by Shao Dejin on the other side when he was transferring his bags, Huang Donglai took the same timing from Shao Shanhu to Shao Dejin on Sun Yixi, and blocked the other party's vision by saying hello.
"Uncle Shao, why are you sitting here alone? Where did Brother Wang go?" Huang Donglai sat down and asked.
Shao Dejin had to answer: "Ah? Ah...you are you..." Because his vision was blocked, he could only temporarily pull his attention back from his son and replied, "That... the three-character king is right? He insisted on going out to eat, so I can only send a disciple to follow him and keep an eye on it."
Shao Dejin's words were also covered. After all, the Three-character King was recommended to him by Sun Huang, and he is indeed capable, so even if he is dissatisfied with it, it is not convenient to make it clear in front of the other side.
In fact, the reason why the Three-character King did not eat at the same table with their Shao family and his son was, in his own words, "displeased".
The Three-character King is like this. He doesn't like anyone, and he doesn't like it, and he rarely lies.
More importantly, with his wisdom and his understanding of Sun Huang, he had basically guessed that Sun Huang was going to harm the Shao family and son, so he must stay away from it, otherwise he would have no place to deal with it even if he was spitting out.
"Oh... It's okay, I'll have a few drinks with you." Huang Donglai didn't point anything, so he naturally poured wine for the other party with the wine pot and started to arrange it. "Hey, man, come on, add two more dishes, give pork belly, and this scattered fish fillet, you have to know about Huadiao..."
Huang Donglai was talking to the chef here, but Shao Dejin had moved his body slightly and was looking at his son with his light.
At this time, Shao Shanhu had already been pulled by Sun Yixie to sit down, and Brother Sun's "transfer" had already been completed, and Shao Dejin didn't see it at all.
Shao Dejin even felt that: Sun Xianxian helped Shanhu to relieve the embarrassment and created a chance to drug him. This would be great if a young and promising young hero like Sun Xianxian and Huang Xianxian had the opportunity to accept me as his adopted son.
