Even after all the things on Hu Xin's body were searched, he still clenched his teeth and refused to utter another word.

Recently, "plague" was rampant in Puyang County, so all the doctors in the county were gathered together by County Magistrate Liu. The bad guys soon brought two doctors, one with white hair and beard, and the other was about forty years old.

The old doctor was taking a nap in the pharmacy, and the younger one was fiddling with medicinal herbs. The two were taken to the prison together. When they saw the situation inside the prison, they looked at each other, both confused.

"Magistrate Liu, why did you call us here now? Is there something urgent?" The younger doctor had bloodshot eyes and did not look very well, so his tone was a little stiff.

County Magistrate Liu rubbed his brows, and a rogue came forward and handed the purse that Daoyi had found to him, "Please take a look at what's inside."

The middle-aged doctor took the purse and opened it, and a familiar yet unfamiliar smell came out.

He was familiar with it because he dealt with these herbs every day, but he was unfamiliar with it because the medicinal smell was too mixed and he couldn't separate more ingredients in a short time.

His intuition told him that it was something extraordinary, so he handed it to the elderly doctor without delay, "Master Cheng, there is a pill inside, but time is too short, I can only separate out a few medicinal ingredients."

Doctor Cheng took the purse and took out the dark red pill.

Those who were close in the cell could see the dark red pills against the orange glow. They looked similar to the dried blood on the bodies of some prisoners after being tortured, giving people a very ominous feeling.

Doctor Cheng first smelled it, then carefully used the silver needle he carried with him to pick up a little from the pill and crushed it into powder.

The cell was silent. Everyone stared at his movements, not daring to make a sound.

After a long while, Doctor Cheng frowned and told the bad news, "County Magistrate Liu, where did this pill come from?"

County Magistrate Liu subconsciously glanced at Daoyi, and seeing that she had no intention of speaking, he replied, "It was found from Chief Hu, but what's wrong with the pills?"

Doctor Cheng saw Hu Xin, who was kneeling on the ground, half dead, with his beard sticking up high, and said, "This is just nonsense!"

County Magistrate Liu was a little flustered by his yelling, "Dr. Cheng!"

Doctor Cheng handed over the pill and said, "I can only see that this pill is extremely powerful, but I don't know where it can be used."

It was obvious that Hu Xin's condition was not good. He was just a doctor, so he knew what he knew. He neither said too much and harmed others, nor did he say too much to take sides, so as not to mislead the government's judgment and harm more people.

Magistrate Liu stretched out his hand to take it, but it froze in mid-air, unable to either extend it or retreat.

"Not only that, after taking it, the person will be poisoned immediately in just a few moments. The medicinal properties will change as it passes through the human body, and the breath exhaled by the poisoned person will be transmitted to others." A fair, slender, and powerful hand reached out from the side and took the pill.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her hand, Daoyi put the pill back into her purse and asked the two doctors, "Do you think this poison sounds familiar?"

Can you not be familiar with it?

Almost at the same time Daoyi spoke about the medicinal properties, everyone present reacted.

The raging plague in Puyang was actually caused by this tiny pill, which was man-made.

"Bah!" The prisoner spat at Hu Xin angrily, "You black-hearted bastard, not only did you poison yourself, but you also pretended to want to re-examine our case. Your purpose is to ask the county magistrate to arrest us and test the drug. Bah, bah, bah, bah!"

The prisoner's eldest brother talked a lot, and finally he was not satisfied, so he made several "Pooh" sounds. This immediately resonated with all the prisoners, and they continued to make "Pooh" sounds.

No matter how the law sentences them, those who are around Guimojian are not serious criminals. Therefore, most of them are prisoners who can survive, but they are dragged here for drug testing for no reason, and die in batches. It is even more terrifying than the King of Hell.

County Magistrate Liu was now in a dilemma. He could not shut the prisoner's mouth, nor could he shut Daoyi's mouth.

Seeing this, Hu Xin laughed out loud, "He is indeed a coward. He doesn't have the courage to test the drug, and now he doesn't even dare to kill someone."

County Magistrate Liu's face froze. He wanted to make some achievements in Puyang, but he encountered a man-made plague. Hu Xin was retained by him. If the news was reported back to the court, he really didn't dare to think about it.

County Magistrate Liu glanced at Daoyi. He thought that he could control a man who could sneak into the county jail quietly and recognize the poison in Hu Xin's body at a glance.

Hearing this, Daoyi slapped Hu Xin in the face and said, "Others don't dare to test drugs on living people because they still have some humanity left and can't do such things as killing each other. You, the Five Characters, are completely devoid of conscience and are even scarier than that monster army."

All of County Magistrate Liu's thoughts were shattered by this slap.

Hu Xin turned his head to the side and spat out a few bloody teeth. When he turned his head again, he looked at Daoyi with a sinister look.

County Magistrate Liu and others were frightened by his look, but he was the person in charge of Puyang County and could not retreat at this time.

He asked, "Miss Daoyi, although Hu Xin has poison on him, how can we be sure that he is a member of the 'Five Characters'?"

Daoyi: Have you heard about the incident in Qingshui County where a number of people have died of strange diseases for a month in a row? "

In a flash, County Magistrate Liu finally remembered something, but someone reacted faster and more excitedly than him.

"You are the second lady Xie who worked with the former Dali Temple Minister to solve the strange disease in Qingshui County last year." The middle-aged doctor looked at Daoyi with eyes that were as hot as if a goddess had seen King Xiang. "I heard the guys in the shop mention this. They mentioned this when they were trading medicinal materials with others. The strange disease in Qingshui County was also caused by poisoning!"

Daoyi tilted his neck back slightly and nodded reservedly, "The poison in Qingshui County is called Chunsheng, and it has the same pharmacological origin as this medicine."

County Magistrate Liu glanced at his empty side, with only a fat little bird on its shoulder. Without the former Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, he dared not have any more thoughts.

He could only deal with the current situation. "Thank you, Second Lady. How did you conclude that Hu Xin had poison on him, and was even involved with the 'Five Characters'?"

Daoyi: "Hu Xin's predecessor was involved in the 'Five Characters'. He escaped and returned to Puyang. Seeing him using County Magistrate Liu to test drugs on people, I suspected that he was the missed fish. The real reason for this is that the smell on Hu Xin's body is the same as that on the patient. I checked the patients in Puyang and found that they were poisoned, and the poison came from the same source as Qingshui County."

"The 'Five-Character Tribe' secretly killed so many people and triggered a war. Even so, they still didn't let go of innocent people. What exactly do they want to do?" County Magistrate Liu felt like the sky was about to fall.

Doctor Cheng was concerned about another question, "Second Madam Xie was able to tell it was poison at a glance, is there a way to detoxify it?"

The first batch of people who were poisoned had long since died. All they took over were "epidemic symptoms" and had been "treating the symptoms" without even being able to detect the poisoning, let alone the detoxification. Now that they have the poison pills in their hands, they will be able to develop an antidote sooner or later, but that would mean more people would be left to die.

The doctor is kind.

Daoyi had a good impression of such people and gave Doctor Cheng his first sincere smile of the night.

She nodded slightly, "Of course, one of the reasons for exposing Hu Xin's conspiracy is to detoxify the people in Puyang County. As for their purpose..."

Daoyi looked at Hu Xin and said, "Of course, the more people die, the better it is for you, right!" (End of this chapter)
