Zhang Chen had sent more than 60 criminal hunters to prison for the purge of the Ministry of Justice. The system had also rewarded him with some gold, silver, and treasures.
These rewards were better than nothing, so Zhang Chen did not take them to heart.
In the next few days, he read the case files every day, trying to find a suitable case from the case files sent from all over the world.
" Yan State's military rations were robbed. Suspected bandits causing trouble…"
" Yanzhou Zhizhou was killed, the murderer has not been caught yet..."
"A Poison Man has appeared in Hongzhou. Since August, six different poison men had been discovered, killing and injuring dozens of ordinary people…Eh! This case seems to have a way?"
Yan State's army rations being robbed seemed like a big deal, but the problems involved were not too complicated.
As mentioned before, Great Xia was rich in resources and did not lack food. Therefore, the value of food was not high.
There was no war in Yan State. Even if a batch of military rations was robbed, it would not cause a big mess.
From this speculation, this case may be a group of bandits who were short of food.
The Yanzhou Zhizhou was also killed in the same way. There were too many corrupt officials in the 108 states of Great Xia.
It would be a miracle if a few corrupt officials didn't die every year!
This kind of thing was most likely improvised by the Jianghu heroes. No matter how much they investigated, they might not be able to find out the result.
Compared to the previous two, it was really rare for a poison talent to appear in Hongzhou.
Poisonous people would die upon contact!
As far as Zhang Chen knew, highly toxic items were extremely precious.
There were many sects in Jianghu that were good at using poison, but it was not easy to find a truly powerful poison.
Any poison that could kill anyone was worth more than gold.
Death upon contact was even more powerful than being killed at the sight of blood. This kind of poison was obviously more precious.
Humans couldn't be born to be poisonous.
Perhaps some ignorant people would mistake Poison Man as a monster, a devil, or an ominous omen…
However, Zhang Chen was not a fool. He knew that the birth of the Poison Men was definitely related to humans.
Or, someone lost control of their poison cultivation technique, causing the poison in their body to overflow.
Or, someone had used forbidden methods to turn normal people into poisonous people.
Zhang Chen was more inclined to the latter, because the difficulty of cultivating poison techniques was even more difficult than orthodox martial arts. It was fortunate that one out of ten people who cultivated poison techniques could succeed.
The appearance of six Poison Men in Hongzhou was obviously abnormal.
Therefore, it was very likely that these six Poison Men had been refined alive through cruel means!
How much poison was needed to refine a Poison Man?
How much poison was needed to refine six Poison Men?
Were there any more Poison Men that had yet to be discovered?
Zhang Chen's intuition told him that there were more Poison Men that had yet to be discovered. There must be a shocking conspiracy behind the Poison Men incident in Hongzhou.
"Get ready, we're going to Hongzhou.”
Ye Qingxian, who was dozing off at the side, was shocked and asked blankly,"To Hongzhou? Why are you going to Hongzhou?"
Zhang Chen handed the file to Ye Qingxian.""You'll know when you see it."
While Ye Qingxian was reading the dossier, Zhang Chen told her his guess.
"This file was sent back more than ten days ago. After so many days, I suspect that more Poison Men might have been discovered in Hongzhou. They don't have enough manpower over there, so we can go and help.”
"Poison man?" Ye Qing Xian frowned.”
"Medicine man?" Zhang Chen was stunned for a moment. He suddenly remembered a TV series he had watched in his previous life.
There were also drug men in that TV series. Someone captured people from the underworld and used special methods to turn them into drug men with infinite strength and invulnerability. They could be said to be the ancestors of humanoid weapons.
"Why did you say that these Poison Men are Medicine Men?”"Could it be that you know the origins of these Poison Men?" Zhang Chen asked with interest.”
The Swordsmanship Sect had existed for a long time. If Poison Men had appeared in Jianghu before, the records of the Swordsmanship Sect would definitely have recorded it.
" I did read about Poison Men in a book when I was a child," Ye Qingxian said thoughtfully." The book said that Poison Men were the failed product of Medicine Men.”
"Poison Man is a failed product?" Zhang Chen frowned. Just a failed product was already so terrifying. It seemed like he had to go to Hongzhou.”
……
The next morning.
Zhang Chen and Ye Qing Xian rode towards Hong Zhou from Xuanwu Gate.
Not long after they left, a group of Jianghu people appeared at the city gate.
"How is it? Which direction did they go?"
"They're heading north. I don't know where they're going. We have to think of a way to get in front of them.”
"Hey! He did not expect that the kid was actually a lackey of the imperial court. After searching for so long in Tingzhou, he could not find him. He did not expect that he would actually come to the capital.”
"What are we waiting for? If they didn't set off now, they wouldn't be able to catch up! If I can't get the Heart Destroying Palm manual this time, I won't accompany you anymore. I've been eating with you guys for the past few days. When will my bitter days end? In my opinion, why don't we just stop scheming about that Heart-Destroying Palm and rob a few rich families to get some money and have fun?”
"You silly fool, working together to get the Heart Destroying Palm manual is good for everyone. What are you complaining about? Wasn't it just that he couldn't eat or sleep well for a few days? If he couldn't even endure this bit of hardship in the martial world, why would he still want to walk in the martial world? He might as well go home and farm!”
"Alright, silly is right. It's time for us to set off. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to keep up. The other party was an official of the imperial court. If he couldn't take him down this time, it would be even more difficult for him to succeed in the future when he was on guard. Therefore, we only have one chance. We must not fail! Whoever dares to screw up, we'll make him wish he was dead!”
