Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 427 Interval

Tie Wandao then asked several other doctors: "What do you think? Is it what he said?"

Several doctors said this was indeed the case.

Tie Wandao said, "Zuo Youqun wiped the medicine bowl with his sleeve. Logically, the medicine he gave to the young patriarch contained Mantan. However, you all said that Mantan is highly poisonous. Why didn't he have any poisoning reaction after drinking the bowl of medicine?"

A doctor explained: "Chief, although this Mantan is highly poisonous, not everyone will be poisoned after taking it. Only people with internal injuries will be poisoned, and there will be a period of time between taking Mantan and the onset of the poison." The doctor replied.

Tie Wandao asked: "If the internal injuries were incurred after taking the Mantan poison, would they also be poisoned?"

"The poison of Mantan will remain in the body for a period of time. If the person who takes Mantan suffers internal injuries during this period, he will still be poisoned."

"How long does it take for a person to suffer internal injuries and become poisoned after taking Mantan?" Tie Wandao continued to ask.

"Within an hour."

Tie Wandao asked the other doctors: "Is that true?"

The other doctors all nodded in agreement.

Tie Wandao's anger subsided a little. With a sinister smile on his face, he turned to Zuo Youqun and said, "Hahaha! It seems that the internal injuries I caused you by kicking you just now can be regarded as helping you to die early! You thought you wouldn't be poisoned after drinking the bowl of medicine containing Mantan, but you didn't expect that you would be kicked by me within an hour after drinking the bowl of medicine and suffer internal injuries. I just wanted to teach you a lesson with that kick, and didn't intend to take your life. Who knew that you poisoned the young patriarch and poisoned yourself. It's really rare! Haha!"

Zuo Youqun was a doctor himself, so he naturally knew what would happen if he suffered internal injuries within an hour after drinking that bowl of medicine. He was now in despair, sitting on the ground looking at Tie Wandao who was grinning sinisterly, and said nothing.

Tie Hongyan looked at Zuo Youqun and said slowly: "In that case, you have a good plan. If someone else tasted the medicine before I drank it, the person would be fine, but I would be poisoned if I drank it. If I didn't drink that bowl of medicine, and you didn't want others to know the ingredients of that bowl of medicine, you could drink it yourself. Anyway, you wouldn't be poisoned if you drank it when you don't have internal injuries. Doctor Zuo, you really took great pains to poison me! If Wu Xunsheng hadn't reminded me in time, I would have been poisoned!" Tie Hongyan said.

Zuo Youqun looked at Tie Hongyan and still said nothing.

When Tie Wandao heard Tie Hongyan say that Wu Xunsheng reminded her, he asked Wu Xunsheng: "Why did you remind her? Did you know that the medicine was poisonous?"

"Clan leader, to be honest, I saw Doctor Zuo walking out of Ao Qian Palace that day. He was taken to the woods by a man in rosewood clothes. I was worried that this would be detrimental to the young clan leader, so I observed secretly. The man took out a small white bottle and wanted to give it to him. He waved his hands and shook his head at first, as if he didn't want to take it. I don't know what the man said, but he knelt down tremblingly and took the small white bottle. The man stuffed some money into his pocket and left. He left in a hurry with the money. So, when I saw him today, I became more alert and paid attention to his every move. His behavior was indeed abnormal, so I used hints to ask the young clan leader to be more alert as well. The young clan leader was very vigilant. From what she said, I could tell that she also felt that Doctor Zuo was suspicious. I think even without my reminder, the young clan leader would be able to find the problem." Wu Xunsheng said.
