The Rebirth of Han Yuxi - Chapter 867

[Chapter 867 The Death of Guo Zhong]

Tong Fang returned to the inn where she was staying, and told Cui Mo what happened in the palace: “Brother-in-law, who do you think that person would be?” As far as Tong Fang knew, the bigger the family, the more respectful they were. humble. If this person’s identity is not high, it is impossible for her to dare to say such things to herself without the princess telling her to speak.

After listening to this, Cui Mo said, “She is the Mammy Quan that I told you. This person is not only the nanny of the princess, but also the teacher of the princess.” It’s not a problem for Mammy Quan to teach Yuxi’s pharmacology. secret.

Tong Fang said with some disbelief: “I heard that Mother Quan is in her fifties, but I saw that the man was only about forty years old.” Teenagers look like they are in their forties. It is also because of the bumps for two years before, otherwise it will be younger than now.

Cui Mo said: “The person you are talking about must be Mother Quan, there is no doubt about that. Fang, what do you think about this? It’s good that Mother Quan sees you and wants to accept you as a disciple, but the conditions are too harsh. You are still young, you have to think about this matter before you decide.” Cui Mo didn’t feel that Quan Mo was impersonal, it was normal for him to teach himself a little bit of skill. And Quan mama didn’t force Tong Fang, but let her make her own choice.

Tong Fang shook her head and said the same sentence she said before: “Brother-in-law, when Xiang Weiguo leaves with me, I don’t want to marry again.” After a pause, Tongfang said, “Brother-in-law, if my parents ask me Where are you, brother-in-law, please don’t tell them.” The behavior of Tong Fang’s parents broke her heart. She had already done what she had to do, and there was nothing else she could do. And the palace is heavily guarded, as long as she doesn’t reveal her identity, her parents won’t be able to find her.

Hearing this, Cui Mo asked: “You really decided not to marry anymore? A Fang, once this decision is made, there is no room for repentance.” If A Fang dares to repent, then the Northwest will have no place to stand for Tong Fang. .

Tong Fang said firmly: “I have already decided. And I think that if I can be like Quan Ma, I am actually very happy.” Quan Ma is respected by the princess, and she does not worry about her old age, and she can live without getting married. pretty good.

Cui Mo was silent for a while, and said, “You decide this matter yourself! As for your parents, don’t worry, they know that you don’t dare to make trouble in the palace.”

The next morning, Tong Fang entered the palace and said her decision. After finishing speaking, Tong Fang knelt on the ground and said, “Mommy, I can swear to God. If I…”

Yuxi interrupted him before he could finish speaking. Oak Xi said, “If you promise, it will be done. You don’t need to make any poisonous oath.” Oak-hee didn’t believe in any poisonous oath. If the oath was really useful, there would still be so many evil people in the world. If you really have a heart, you will naturally obey, but if you make an unintentional oath, it is useless.

The matter was settled, and Tong Fang moved into the palace that afternoon. Mother Quan did not ask Tong Fang to be a teacher, but asked her to recognize characters and herbs first. Only after passing the test can one formally apprentice and learn art, and before apprenticeship is to lay the foundation.

Yan Wushuang was talking to Meng Nian about planting potato. Because Liaodong had to fight with the Donghu people every year, the life of the people was similar to that of the Northwest before. After Yan Wushuang came to power, he issued many decrees to benefit the people in Liaodong, but the idea was good, but the effect was not very good. It’s not that the decree issued by Yan Wushuang to benefit the people is not good, but the officialdom in Liaodong has not been thoroughly rectified before. These officials deceived the public and the common people could not enjoy the decree of benefiting the people. Therefore, these decrees are equivalent to a piece of paper. After Yan Wushuang found out, he sent imperial officials to search for a group of corrupt officials, and all these people were executed. It is also up to now that the officialdom in Liaodong can be considered clear and bright.

Meng Nian said: “My lord, I think the potato crop has a high yield. If it can be promoted in Liaodong, it would be very good.” Liaodong is faced with the same situation as the northwest. Shandong and other grain-producing areas. The yield of this potato is so high, it would be a pity not to promote it in Liaodong.

Yan Wushuang said: “You can handle this matter, don’t make any mistakes.” The production of potato is high, and it is popularized in Liaodong. In the future, ordinary people will not worry about what they have not eaten in winter, so people will starve to death.

Yan Wushuang’s feelings for Liaodong are extremely deep. Therefore, after he took power, he issued a series of decrees to benefit the people, but unfortunately the results were completely opposite to what he thought. In fact, if possible, he also hopes that the people and soldiers in Liaodong can live the same good life as in the northwest. It’s a pity that he didn’t have the same luck as Yun Qing and Han’s. Not only did he loot so much money from corrupt officials, he also found Ji Xuan’s treasure. Yunqing got the money. Not only can it reduce the burden on the people, but it can also do a lot of things. Deep in Yan Wushuang’s heart, he still envied Yun Qing and Yu Xi’s fortune.

Meng Nian thought for a moment and said, “Then let the farmers follow the northwest method and plant every month. After two years of trial planting, they will know which month is the most suitable for planting.” In the same way, the suitable growth months for plants are also different, so this has to be tested in advance.

Yan Wushuang nodded and said, “It’s better to find another crop that has high yield and is suitable for Liaodong.” Yan Wushuang believes that as long as you have the heart, you can always find it.

Meng Nian nodded and told Yan Wushuang about going to Liaodong. Except for Liaodong, the three provinces of Hebei, Shandong and Shanxi that the court really controls now have lost control in other places.

Tang Bo opened the curtain and walked in, and said to Yan Wushuang, “My lord, Guo Zhong is poisoned, and now I don’t know if he is alive or dead.” Guo Zhong is one of Yan Wushuang’s most trusted subordinates, otherwise it would be impossible to protect the imperial city. errand.

Yan Wushuang asked as he walked, “How could Guo Zhong be poisoned?” With the assassination of Qiu Dashan, Yan Wushuang and his confidants were very concerned about their own safety, so it is difficult to succeed in such things as assassination.

Tang Bo also said solemnly: “Today is Guo Zhongxiu’s time for a bath. He went to Yangjia’s dog meat restaurant for a drink in Yangjiao Hutong, but the wine was poisoned.” Except for those who are very close, outsiders do not know Guo Zhong likes to eat dog meat. The Yang family dog meat restaurant tasted authentic. After Guo Zhong came to the capital to inquire about such a place, he went to disguise at that time. As a result, when he went, he was conquered by the cook’s craftsmanship. When he has free time, he will disguise himself and go over there to eat meat and drink.

Yan Wushuang’s face became worse and worse: “Guo Zhong went to the dog meat restaurant in disguise before, and no one knew his identity. And this time to drink Guo Zhong, obviously he came prepared.” Yan Wushuang meant Yes, something was wrong with them.

Tang Bo did not say a word.

Meng Nian did not agree with what Yan Wushuang said: “My lord, the population of the dog meat restaurant is complex, and it is not impossible for someone to recognize Ah Zhong.” Only a few of them knew that Guo Zhong would disguise and go to the dog meat restaurant to eat dog meat. They are like brothers to Guo Zhong, and no one will harm him.

Yan Wushuang said: “I’m afraid that I accidentally leaked my mouth and was overheard.” Those who knew the inside story, it was impossible to tell others about it on purpose, but they couldn’t prevent it from saying it when they were drinking. Even if he said it, he probably forgot, and this is the most terrifying. Because at that time, even the person who leaked the secret will not be able to find out.

Meng Nian nodded and said, “It’s not impossible, but the most suspicious ones should be the people in the tavern. The murderer must be hiding among those people.” Guo Zhong often went to Yang’s dog meat shop to eat dog meat. Meng Nian was very Disapproved, he considered too dangerous. Meng Nian also persuaded Guo Zhong before, saying that if he liked the cook’s craftsmanship, he would recruit people into the house, and let the cook do it if he wanted to eat. But Guo Zhong said that the cook made it at home, it was not as tasty as the dog meat restaurant, and there was no atmosphere. After persuading him twice, Meng Nian stopped talking. If he had known such a thing would happen, he would have persuaded him at the time.

By the time Yan Wushuang arrived at the dog meat restaurant, Guo Zhong was out of breath. At this time, the imperial doctor has not arrived yet. But there is already a doctor in the dog meat hall.

When the doctor saw Yan Wushuang, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, “My lord, what General Guo drank is a poison that seals his throat with blood, and the old man is powerless.”

Yan Wushuang ignored the doctor and walked over to Guo Zhong’s body. Looking at Guo Zhong’s blue complexion, Yan Wu’s eyes flashed with addictive light: “What kind of poison is in it?”

The doctor shook his head and said, “Your Highness forgives my sins, I have never seen that kind of poison before.” This should be a new type of poison.

It was Imperial Physician Zhang who came over and explained the poison to Yan Wushuang. Guo Zhongzhong’s poison is extracted from the seeds of a thousand birds. The seeds of chidori are very poisonous. Animals will be poisoned to death if they accidentally eat them. The poison in Guo Zhongjiu is still refined, and even immortals can’t save it.

Yan Wushuang had regained his composure at this time, and asked, “Where can this kind of chidori be produced?” Hope it wasn’t the place he thought.

Zhang Taiyi said: “This thing is available in many places.” It is impossible to know who the murderer is from the source of the poison.

Yan Wushuang stopped talking nonsense, but personally carried Guo Zhong’s body out with Qiu Dashan. The others looked at Yan Wushuang’s sullen expression and did not speak, and felt a little scared in their hearts. Because this shows that Yan Wushuang has been extremely angry.

Meng Nian arrested all the people who were in the mutton restaurant at that time and put them into the cells, and then started the interrogation one by one. After a long interrogation, Meng Nian told Yan Wushuang the result: “According to everyone’s testimony, this poison should have been poisoned by Xiao Er who had just arrived at the dog meat restaurant for half a month. We found Xiao Er in the well water of the dog meat restaurant. corpse.”

Yan Wushuang asked, “What’s the identity of Xiao Er?” Generally, there are many requirements for such restaurants to recruit people. One of the most important points is that it must be trusted or guaranteed by a reliable person. After all, it is food. If you have bad intentions and want to poison people, the store will not be able to pay.

Meng Nian explained the identity of the second child: “This person lives in Yangjia Hutong, but the middle parents have both died and there is only one younger brother left. I have already sent someone to look for his younger brother.”

Yan Wushuang said with a cold face: “Find the person for me, and search every corner to find it.” This little Er was smart, and he committed suicide before he was afraid of being tortured. But the blood debt needs to be paid in blood.

Meng Nian nodded and said, “Your Highness, don’t worry, we will definitely catch the murderer to avenge Ah Zhong.” He didn’t die on the battlefield but died in conspiracy and trickery. Meng Nian’s heart was heavy.
