Chapter 342

Episode 342. Ditch and catch crayfish (1)

Suddenly.

In an instant, my eyes flashed open.

The fireman was the first to be surprised that he was alive. And then it occurred to him that he might have been taken hostage.

‘Where am I trapped?’

The fireman carefully moved his fingers.

His fingers and toes moved well, and his body was not tied to anything.

‘Aren’t you in custody? What kind of scheme is this again?’

Carefully opening his eyes and looking around, he found himself in his own barracks. In front of the door stood camouflage men holding spears.

‘Are those two spying on me?’

As I silently activated my inner strength, I could feel the heavy energy extending to the White Sea.

‘I’m too fine for that kind of thing.....’

My doubts began to grow.

after a while

Dada.....

I heard a bustle outside.

“Welcome!”

“Ugh! Even if you are in a hurry!”

I heard footsteps coming from outside the barracks.

After a while, the guards moved out of the way and a group of people entered the barracks.

The fireman pretended to be asleep and closed his eyes, intending to launch a surprise attack.

‘If I knew it would come here, I would have brought the spear over there...’

It was a pity that I had wasted time checking my body.

With a body like this, it was possible to subdue at least two guards with spears and escape.

“Rep. Chung. This person is my master and Eosa Daebu, so do your best in treatment.”

“Your lord Dowi. I will do my best.”

The fireman had his eyes closed, but he could hear everything.

‘lawmaker? Did you bring the doctor to treat me right now? what? What happened? Didn’t Sungryeom poison me to kill me?’

The fireman was curious, but he didn’t feel alive, so he kept watching the amount they were doing.

As I closed my eyes, I felt the doctor holding my wrist and taking my pulse.

After taking the pulse, I turned my eyelids over and tried to open my mouth forcibly.

It was difficult for the painter to pretend to be asleep, but he persevered by turning his eyes over so that the whites were visible.

“How are you?”

“Hmm~. I’m sorry. I’m not good at medicine... I don’t even know what kind of poison it is.”

“I heard that you are the best in Hadong, but are you saying you can’t even figure out the type of poison?”

“sorry. I have never seen such an addicted patient who could not find any poisoning symptoms.”

“No symptoms of poisoning? He suddenly collapsed and hasn’t woken up yet... Aren’t you, by any chance, a quack with a brilliant reputation?”

Hearing the conversation between Seong-ryeom and the doctor, the painter realized that it was not Seong-ryeom who poisoned the poison. If the poison has been released, there is no reason to bring a lawmaker and make such a fuss.

‘Come to think of it, all the disciples and members of the council were sent to Luoyang.’

Doctors remain, but they are incapable of curing addiction. Perhaps that’s why he brought a famous lawmaker from Hadong-gun.

‘By the way, if you look at the current state, this isn’t an addiction symptom? So what? It’s as if I’ve slept soundly...’

Suddenly.

The fireman thought about it and realized that he was very familiar with drugs that caused similar symptoms.

‘Anesthesia! No anesthetic! Could it be that someone mixed the anesthetic solution with the food?’

If you’ve been ingesting an anesthetic, you may not even notice.

This is because the smell is familiar because I have used it so many times while treating patients.

As expected, the function of the body is temporarily degraded by taking the anesthetic, but this should disappear before even a moment passes.

“My opinion is correct. You will be fine soon.”

“Are we poisoned?”

“It’s not poison... ha, no. There is such a thing.”

“yes? Why are you doing that?”

“I have a guess, but I haven’t confirmed it. I’ll tell you later when I’m sure.”

“Ah yes.”

Hwabu nodded after checking the veins of Guan Yu, equipment, and other generals.

“They all have the same symptoms. After a while, all the soldiers will wake up. It’s not a big deal, everyone, be careful not to be upset.”

“All right.”

The fireman glanced at the generals and walked towards the medical station.

When I arrived at the medical corps, the guards gathered about 20 soldiers in one place, including a medic, a medic, and some chores, and were waiting.

“Eosa Daebu, we did not poison our food. Trust me.”

“Eosa Daebu, how can we poison...”

“Eosa Daebu...”

When the fireman appeared, Uino, Ui-nyeo, and soldiers scrambled to complain about their injustice.

“Everyone be quiet.”

When Seong-ryeom took out a knife and swung it in the air, the mouths that were talking were closed at once, but the eyes and face were full of resentment, anxiety, and desperation.

In fact, the people here were so close to the fireman that it was difficult to call them strangers. They are people who have been together for a long time, assisting with treatment.

The fireman looked at each of the people for a moment.

‘Haa~ To think there’s Sejak among them... Just thinking about it is terrifying.’

The medical corps was a place where human inspection was exceptionally thorough.

If there was Sejak, even those close to Sejak would have to be suspicious, so the relationship of trust with all of them could eventually be broken.

I came here because it was something I couldn’t pretend I didn’t know, but I was confused.

“As you all know, today I and many generals and soldiers have suffered unsavory things. I don’t think there are any suspects among you, but I still can’t help but investigate. Castle Dowi.”

“Your master.”

“From now on, send one by one into the barracks of the medical unit. I will interrogate myself.”

“yes.”

When the fireman entered the barracks, ten guards followed him, and after a while, starting with Uino, the eldest, they entered one by one and began to answer the fireman’s questions.

The fireman asked each of them individually what they had done today and what the people around them had done, and asked them to point out any doubters.

The interrogation lasted all night until dawn.

Hwabu’s army was originally scheduled to enter the capital of Hadong-gun that day, but was delayed for a day due to interrogation.

Whoa~.

A long sigh flowed from the mouth of the fireman who had finished the final interrogation.

‘If I had ordered Eulji Danju to do this, I would have figured it out right away... Doing it myself is a headache.’

The fireman interrogated more than thirty people and tried to find out who was suspicious, but somehow no one was suspicious.

If there was a Sejak, it could be said that a very outstanding person hid because it was enough to escape the fireman’s interrogation and censorship. However, the painter concluded that there was no Sejak among them.

‘In a way, it might be a natural result that there is no Sejak. In the first place, all those qualified to handle anesthetics went to Luoyang Castle.’

Come to think of it, the key to the wagon containing the difficult-to-handle medicines was currently the only one he had.

After a while, the fireman shook his head after opening the wagon containing the medicine with the key.

For as many as 5,000 people to fall asleep more than once, more than half of the sleeping pills stored in the wagon had to be consumed. However, all the sleeping pills in the wagon were still there.

“It’s a ghost to wail. There’s no sign of using drugs.... Should I rush to the soldiers who cooked the rice?”

When the fireman thought that he would have to interrogate even the soldiers, his head ached so much that it hurt.

But no matter how painful it is, it can’t be done.

After a while, the fireman called the scribe and generals together and had them interrogate the soldiers individually in the same way he had done with the men of the medical corps.
