Chapter 1535: 1535: Cunning Assassin

“Big brother, you must be joking with me, right?”

“No need to move a body? Well, that’s good,” Xia Huafeng sighed in relief.

As long as it wasn’t about moving a body, anything else was negotiable. He also knew that there must be a reason for coming here, he just didn’t know what exactly it was.

“What are you looking for?”

“This poison is strange; I have yet to find its source,” Xia Junfeng said.

Thinking of the poison’s source made him sigh. If only his second brother and sister-in-law were here, she would definitely be able to find the source.

Alas, they were not in the capital.

“If everyone was poisoned, it must be something everyone has come into contact with. Have you looked into it?” While talking, they stepped into Tisi Mansion.

“I have,” Xia Junfeng said.

If he hadn’t checked, he wouldn’t have involved his big brother.

“Food, water sources, and such easily accessible things have all been checked, none were poisonous. We even invited pharmacists to come, and truly, they found nothing unusual.”

“That is indeed strange.”

Xia Huafeng blinked, looking up at the entire mansion.

What could poison everyone to death? Food was the most likely, but there could also be exceptions who escaped the net.

“Have you checked where those survivors were found?” he looked at Xia Junfeng and asked.

Upon hearing this, Xia Junfeng was taken aback.

Those survivors were all children; where else could they be found other than in their rooms? He didn’t actually know the specifics.

“Someone!”

He immediately called for his attendant.

“Young master, what are your orders?”

The attendant came to his side and glanced at Xia Huafeng before addressing his own master.

“Were those children settled by you?” Xia Junfeng asked him.

“Yes, young master, they were settled by me and Third Prince’s advisor, Rong Yi,” the attendant nodded.

“Do you know where they were found?” Xia Junfeng inquired again.

“Lord Tisi’s young master was in his room, Lord Guo’s Fourth Young Master was being punished by kneeling in the Ancestral Temple for misbehaving, and the rest were in…”

The attendant listed them one by one. In short, these children were each discovered, alone, in individual rooms.

“All within closed rooms?”

Xia Junfeng glanced at his elder brother, and now, he seemed to understand as well.

“Yes, young master,” the attendant confirmed.

“You may go.”

Xia Junfeng waved the attendant off.

“Such a cunning assassin.”

Only after the attendant had left did he speak in a cold voice.

It wasn’t the food or water sources, but something transmitted through the air. The survivors found were saved because they were confined in closed rooms and thus didn’t get exposed to the poisonous pills.

“There are pharmacists in the capital more skilled than the Luoyang-Shao family that we haven’t discovered,” Xia Huafeng reminded.

This was a grave issue. If this pharmacist wanted to kill, it would be as easy as flipping one’s hand. Both their side and the Third Prince’s side were in danger.

“Xia Junfeng, the matters here are not pressing, but you must report this to the prince as soon as possible so he can make a decision,” he suggested.

The most important thing was to have the Third Prince take precautions early. This poison was truly unpredictable, one wouldn’t even know how or when they died.
