Chapter 45 Zhou Tao's Death
Zhou Tao died from a poison needle shot by Qin Feng.

Medicine and poison are inseparable. A good doctor is often also a good poisoner.

With Qin Feng's proficient level of medical skills, he knew more than a dozen kinds of lethal poisons. He refined several of them in advance and carried them with him.

This time, Qin Feng chose the most conspicuous and poisonous one.

Then he smeared it on the silver needles and hid them in the woods by the roadside in advance.

When Zhou Tao walked by, he threw the silver needle out from about thirty meters away.

Easy hit!

When Qin Feng was practicing sleeve arrows and crossbows, his proficiency was also improving rapidly.

However, it was not his proficiency in archery that improved, but his proficiency in hidden weapons, which had now reached a minor level of success.

With this level, Qin Feng can hit the target every time he throws a hidden weapon within five meters.

If it was thirty meters, the accuracy would not be very good, but Zhou Tao was such a big man, it was still easy for Qin Feng to hit him.

As long as the silver needle penetrates into the body, the toxin contained in it will take effect in a short period of time, causing paralysis of the whole body and suffocation to death.

At first, Zhou Tao thought he was bitten by a mosquito and didn't take it seriously.

But after taking a few steps, I felt my strength slowly dissipating and I felt a little out of control.

He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

Finally, he rushed forward, fell to the ground with a muffled thud, and never got up again.

There was no movement, and there was nothing unusual around.

The two officers thought Zhou Tao was ill and didn't even think of assassination.

After waiting for a while and confirming that Zhou Tao was really dead, Qin Feng got up and left.

He did not rush back, but walked along the way home, practicing martial arts while looking for herbs in the nearby mountains and forests.

Before dark, Qin Feng returned to Qinjia Village with several thirty to fifty year old medicinal herbs.

Now Qin Feng has sharp ears and eyes, and with his lightness skills, he can go to many dangerous places.

His efficiency in finding herbs is many times faster than that of ordinary people.

Qin Feng even estimated that in the world of Joy of Life, there were very few people who could find herbs as quickly as he did.

Needless to say, martial arts strength requires sufficient martial arts talent. Although the fifth rank is not too strong, it is not weak either. Even a genius like Fan Xian will need several years to achieve it.

It is even more difficult to have a natural talent for medical skills. If one wants to master medical skills to the level where one can be called a famous doctor, it will probably take thirty to forty years of study and practice.

Either of these two requires sufficient talent and time to achieve.

Want to have both? It's really hard!

How many people in the world are there who have both martial arts qualifications and medical talents?

Only super geniuses like Fan Xian and Fei Jie can achieve this.

Moreover, people like them mainly study poisons and medical skills, and they probably don't know as much knowledge about herbs as Qin Feng does.

Of course, there is nothing to be proud of when you go looking for medicine yourself.

When you have power, you don't need to do such things yourself. Just give an order and someone will naturally get what you need for you.

"The child is back, go and cook."

Seeing Qin Feng enter the room, Qin An immediately shouted towards the kitchen.

When Qin Feng left Qinjia Village before, he specifically said that there was no need to wait for him to eat.

But in order to let him eat hot meals, his parents waited until he came back before starting to cook.

But everything was prepared in advance, and the meal was ready in about half a quarter of an hour, and it was all meat and vegetables.

After all, my son has finally come back, so of course he needs to eat well.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

During these three days, Qin Feng had been staying in Qinjia Village. Of course, he went out early in the morning and returned home at lunchtime, and he didn't walk too far, just wandering in the mountains and forests near the village.

Because he was specifically waiting for the reaction from the county government.

If the people behind Zhou Tao want to take action against him, they should come here within three days.

Now that he hasn't come, it means that the matter with Zhou Tao is almost over.

So that morning, Qin Feng left Qinjia Village.

When it was almost 9 o'clock, Qin Feng returned to Pingchuan County.

Just as he arrived at the door of the house, a man dressed as a servant stood up from a corner not far away and walked towards Liu's mansion.

He was the person Liu Shouren had ordered to guard here before. When he saw Qin Feng coming back, he immediately went back to inform him.

Qin Feng didn't know all this. After he returned home, he started practicing Taihe Boxing.

Now his Taihe Fist was not far from perfection, and he wanted to perfect it first, otherwise he would feel uncomfortable.

However, not long after he started boxing, there was a knock on his door.

What a coincidence? Someone knocked on the door right after I got home?

"Who is it?" Qin Feng shouted and walked towards the door.

For example, when Liu Yehui knocks on the door, he usually shouts.

But this time, no one spoke at the door, only knocks.

"The Inspection Office is investigating the case!"

A slightly cold voice came from outside the door.

Inspection Institute?!

Qin Feng was shocked. Why did the Inspection Institute come to see him?

The literary event? Or the Chaoyang martial arts school? Or something else?

At this moment, Qin Feng's thoughts were in a mess, wondering why he was investigated by the Inspection Institute, which made Qin Feng frown.

Because he knew too well how powerful the Inspection Institute was. It was the place that gathered the most geniuses in Qing Country and was a terrifying organization.

Not to mention that he is just a mere fifth-rank warrior, even a ninth-rank master would not be enough in front of the Inspection Institute.

Moreover, the Inspection Bureau is extremely mysterious, with spies planted everywhere. Perhaps a person selling sesame cakes on the roadside is a spy from the Inspection Bureau, making it difficult to guard against.

Qin Feng remembered that Fan Xian went to the palace to steal the key and found a locksmith to make a fake lock.

I never expected that the locksmith was also from the Inspection Bureau.

Because of its elusive nature, Qin Feng had never taken the initiative to inquire about the Inspection Institute.

With his current strength and means, he has no way to deal with the Inspection Bureau, and he dares not deal with it, so he chooses to avoid it.

I didn't expect that today, the Inspection Institute would come directly to my door.

And most importantly, as soon as he came back, people from the Inspection Institute came to him immediately, which means that the Inspection Institute had investigated him in advance.

He's been targeted!
It is difficult for those who are targeted by the Inspection Bureau to escape, and the right way is to resolve the matter.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng also opened the door of his house.

Standing at the door was a man in black with a square face and about thirty years old.

He was not wearing the uniform of the Inspection Bureau, but rather civilian clothes with a sword at his waist.

After seeing Qin Feng, he asked directly: "Are you Qin Feng?"

"Well, I don't know, sir."

"Go in and talk."

Qin Feng's eyes focused and he followed him into the yard.
