    "The bones of normal people should be white." Li Shizhen looked very understanding, and seemed to have dealt with corpses a lot.

    "It is said that poisoning will turn black, but it cannot be concluded that it is mercury poison."

    I saw him reaching out his hand, deftly removing a thoracic vertebra, carefully examining the bright black marks attached to it, and then took the knife handed over by Zhao Hao.  Use a sharp blade to gently scrape off the stains and place them in a small porcelain dish.

    Li Shizhen wasted another gold needle and identified it as mercury.

    "Actually, silver needles can also be used." Zhao Hao reminded in a low voice.  Except for iron, almost all metals can form amalgam, and there is no need to use gold.

    "You didn't tell me earlier" Li Shizhen sighed and said, "This set of golden needles was just bought with scientific research funds."

    "No wonder I feel bad." Zhao Hao rolled his eyes.

    The two were bickering when they heard a pop and Chen Huaixiu fainted and fell to the ground

    "Madam!"

    "Madam!"

    ??~~

    It was night when angry waves crashed against the shore and strong winds blew, causing the lanterns in Shen's ancestral hall to sway westward.

    In the backyard of the ancestral hall, there is a room for Chen Huaixiu to keep vigil.

    At this time, she was sitting on the bedside, pursing her pale lips, and telling Zhao Hao about the tragedy a year ago.

    "My late husband suffered from white scabies. Although it is not visible on his face, there are large white spots on his body. Therefore, no matter how hot it is, he wears long clothes and long trousers."

    The miserable little widow said sadly:

    "He was a gang leader and needed to be decent, so he secretly tried every means to seek medical advice to cure this problem. At the end of last summer, my late husband heard that there was a doctor in Hangzhou who was very good at treating skin diseases. He took advantage of the opportunity of escorting the ship.  , went to beg for a few boxes of pills and came back."

    Zhao Hao said in his heart, ¡®pill¡¯ is really unlucky.

    "I ate the first box according to the doctor's instructions, and the itching really stopped, and the white spots on my body seemed to be smaller. My late husband was very happy, feeling that his disease could finally be eradicated, and he could live like a normal person"

    "Unexpectedly, after eating the second box, he suddenly became ill. In the middle of the night, he suddenly started to have vomiting and diarrhea. He had a high fever and his whole body convulsed. His lips turned purple, and later he even had blood in his stool"

    Chen Huaixiu covered her face with her hands and sobbed sadly: "It was useless to hire a doctor and there was no Jiangnan Hospital at that time. As a result, he died three days later."

    "My condolences, madam." Zhao Hao sighed softly.  Some people are knocked down by hardships, and some people get stronger with each setback. Mrs. Shen is obviously the latter.

    After a while, Chen Huaixiu wiped away his tears and calmed down his emotions.

    "Later we went to Hangzhou to look for the doctor, but he had disappeared. According to the neighbors, he was just a wandering doctor, not a famous doctor in Hangzhou."

    "Then who told Gang Leader Shen to find him?" Zhao Hao asked softly.

    "I don't know." Chen Huaixiu shook his head and said: "Until today, we all thought that he had mistrusted quack doctors and died from taking fake medicine. In addition, he had always kept secret about his illness and would never reveal it in front of the public.  He talked about it in person. So everyone has no idea who told him about the famous doctor in Hangzhou."

    "How could Madam associate this with Xiao Teng's incident?" Mr. Zhao asked, "Didn't you say that their symptoms are very different?"

    "I am not suspicious because of illness, but simply suspicious of someone." Chen Huaixiu's beautiful eyes revealed uncontrollable hatred:

    "Since he is the most suspected of harming Xiao Teng, and he is the only person who has the conditions to intercept and kill me in the previous episode. I have to wonder, does he want our whole family to die? After all, the person who benefited most from the death of my late husband was  he."

    The strong wind outside the house blew against the window lattice, making the Korean paper covering the window rattle.  Amidst the shrill whistling of the wind, the shadows of the trees spread their teeth and claws on the window paper like demons.

    "Madam, are you talking about Gang Leader Guo?" Zhao Hao asked softly.

    "Yes, I suspect he is the one behind it." Chen Huaixiu nodded and said bitterly: "In the past two years, he has been colluding with the Xu family of Huating, always trying to sell the Shachuan Gang to the Xu family. Naturally, his late husband would not agree.  , handing over the foundation established by our ancestors to others, the two of them had many quarrels in private."

    "My late husband once said bitterly that he would kick him out of the Shachuan Gang and tell him to go back to Songjiang to find his old man Xu Ge. But after that, Guo Donglin acted like a different person and never mentioned anything about the Xu family.  I also admitted my mistake to my late husband and will never contradict him again.¡±

    "At that time, my late husband thought that the beating was effective. In Guo's heart, the Shachuan Gang was more important than the Xu family, so he completely let go of his heart and continued to entrust him with important tasks. Unexpectedly, within a few months, he was poisoned and died."

    "Yeah." Zhao Hao nodded.The head said: "There is indeed the possibility that Guo will retreat to advance and paralyze Gang Leader Shen."

    "But I still have no evidence." Chen Huaixiu covered his face slumped and said solemnly: "He is now the serious leader of the Shachuan Gang. I can't accuse him hastily without any conclusive evidence."

    "Haha, it turns out that Madam is worried about this." Zhao Hao chuckled upon hearing this: "Indeed, whether it is Xiao Teng's matter, your husband's matter or Madam's assassination, there is no direct evidence that can point to Gang Leader Guo."

    As he spoke, he stood up and said slowly: "But why is it so difficult? There is no evidence, we just create one."

    "What the young master said is reasonable, but it is too difficult to provide seamless evidence." Chen Huaixiu frowned and said: "If you fabricate it out of thin air, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring him down, and you will be blamed instead."

    "There is no need to worry, madam." Zhao Hao said confidently: "The day before yesterday, my people had found the Japanese pirate lair that attacked madam."

    "What?" Chen Huaixiu couldn't hide his surprise.  "Where?"

    "It's in Bailusha, seventy miles northeast of Sansha." Zhao Hao made no secret.

    "Where is it" Chen Huaixiu knew the Chongming Sandbank very well, but he also thought about it for a while.  I just remembered that Bailusha is located in the northern section of the Yangtze River estuary, close to the sea and far from the mainland.

    And there are shoals all around, and larger ships may be able to hit the bottom.  It is a good hiding place as it is well avoided by passing ships.

    ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the Japanese pirates could be found in such a hidden place by outsiders under Zhao Hao.

    Chen Huaixiu's pretty face was full of admiration and said: "Young Master's abilities are truly unparalleled."

    "My people also saw Guo Qilin, who went to the island to inform the Japanese pirates." Zhao Hao quietly revealed another more explosive news.

    "Really?" Chen Huaixiu sat up excitedly.

    "Is this still false?" Zhao Hao nodded and said with a smile: "This is the most powerful general in our company. General Wang Rulong has personally investigated and found out that it is very credible."

    "It's General Wang." Chen Huaixiu completely believed it now.  When Magistrate Jin took office, she and the main leaders of the Shachuan Gang went to Xisha to welcome him.  I was very impressed by the famous red-bearded anti-Japanese general.

    "It's really God's will in the dark!" Chen Huaixiu couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, put on her blue cloth shoes, stood up, and bowed toward the window:

    "The sky has eyes, the sky has eyes!"

    Zhao Haoxin said, I am as fierce as a tiger in one operation, don't just worship God.
