It's not about the love of light appearance,

Colder areas are preferred.

Don't have roots and shoots,

It's not a rich flower in the world.

Who can regret after Xie Niang's farewell,

Wandering the world.

The sorrow of the cold moon,

Thousands of miles of west wind and sea sand.

--------- "Picking Mulberries, Non-Caring for Love"

Seeing a few vegetable farmers walking away, Shi Jiufu said in Ou Chufei's ear: "Brother Ou, please follow the vegetable farmers in front of you from a distance, see the purpose of their trip, it's best to know what they are doing?"

Ou Chufei readily agreed, and quickly followed over.

Shi Jiu turned his head and asked, "Little Fatty, tell me what happened just now?"

"Old Scar's judgment is absolutely accurate!" Luo Xiaopang said categorically: "These guys are definitely not vegetable farmers!"

Tie Chao asked, "Why are you so sure?"

Luo Xiaopang said: "I just went to the trading market to see what fresh ingredients there were, but I didn't expect to see these guys smearing medicine on their dishes, so I grabbed some on a whim and ran back." ”

Shi Jiu asked, "Little Fatty, is what you just grabbed in your hand?"

Luo Xiaopang said: "Yes, but when I ran just now, I dropped a part, and there was only so much left." ”

Shi Jiu said: "It's okay, these are enough. ”

Shi Jiu carefully took a few vegetable leaves from Luo Xiaopang's hand, and they came to the inner room to put a few vegetable leaves in the water basin.

Shi Jiu nodded at Xiang Nan, Xiang Nan immediately took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out a few drops of transparent liquid from it, and after a while, the fresh and tender vegetable leaves began to become charred and rotten.

Xiang Nan said: "These vegetables are smeared with something called Acacia butterfly powder, which is not considered poison on the surface, and there will be no adverse reactions when eaten into the human body, but once the person who takes this vegetable leaf drinks alcohol at the same time, this Acacia butterfly powder will be denatured and become a highly toxic thing that seals the throat when seeing blood." ”

Duan Wushuang said in surprise: "Xiang Nan, how do you know so much about poison?"

Xiang Nan smiled bitterly: "I am highly poisoned in my body, although I have not been lifted so far, but I have used a lot of methods, and I have to learn a lot of poison knowledge, in fact, I have to do it as a last resort!"

Brother Scar stared at the scorched black cabbage leaves in the basin and said angrily: "What a vicious method! I don't know who they are going to deal with!"

Shi Jiu said: "Ou Chufei has already followed a few pretending vegetable farmers, and if it is not surprising, the answer to this question will be known in a while." ”

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, and many things are often like this.

When they were discussing the toxicity of the Acacia butterfly powder, Ou Chufei had already run back, and the news he brought back confirmed that it was the pretending vegetable farmer who was making trouble at the gate of the Erwang Mansion just now.

Ou Chufei said: "These guys, just after turning the corner, took off their coats one after another, revealing a very uniform gorgeous brocade robe. The workmanship and texture of these brocade clothes are very exquisite, and they are by no means something that ordinary families can have, although in the costumes I can't tell that they are the warriors of the palace minister's family, at least I can be sure that they are not ordinary vegetable farmers. ”

Brother Scar asked a little impatiently, "Old Ou, didn't you continue to follow up and take a look?"

"Hehe, of course I went. Ou Chufei said: "I saw them showing the tail of the fox, knowing that they must be hiding a cat, I quietly followed, sure enough, a few of them circled around in Fancheng, and went straight into a large courtyard with a plaque hanging from the prince's mansion, and I came back to report to everyone." ”

Shi Jiu said: "Your Prince's Mansion, does Brother Tie know about this Palace?"

Tie Chao said: "It's not just that you know that your prince's mansion has been our family's rival for several generations. ”

Shi Jiu asked, "What's the matter, is it convenient for Brother Tie to tell me?"

"Yes! There's nothing to hide from these memories. Tie Chao said: "Your royal mansion is actually not a real royal mansion, and their original surname is not the surname of our imperial royal family. ”

Duan Wushuang hurriedly asked, "They don't have the surname Tie, so what is the surname?"

"They don't have the surname Tie but the surname Sikong!" Tie Chao said: "The origin of this surname is still a story from a long time ago, their ancestor had a strategist named Sikong Wuying, who assisted the Tie family in the struggle for the supremacy of the Zhongzhou Empire, and once established immortal feats. ”

Brother Scar smiled: "I know, it must be this guy surnamed Sikong who has been rewarded by the imperial royal family!"

"Mmmm~!Old Scar is right!" Tie Chao nodded and said: "In order to commend Sikong Wuying, the first prince after the establishment of the Zhongzhou Empire specially gave the nobleman the surname, made him a first-class military marquis, and got a chance to avoid death. After Sikong Wuying died of old age and illness, he was posthumously crowned as a noble king by the royal family, and he was hereditary. ”

Luo Changfeng asked, "Brother Tie, how did your Wangfu form a hatred with the Second Wangfu?"

Tie Chao said: "About a few hundred years ago, the royal privileges of the Zhongzhou Empire were basically held by the Great Wangfu and the Second Wangfu, and the successors of the Sikong Wangfu actually had no real power, and they were not satisfied with the inaction after losing their rights, so they wrote to the royal family many times, since they were not allowed to exercise royal power, so they asked to restore the original Sikong surname, and asked the royal family to give the military title that the ancestors had obtained in the past, in fact, they wanted to compete for military power. ”

"Damn~!, this is ambitious!" Brother Scar said.

Tie Chao nodded and said, "It was absolutely impossible for the eldest prince at that time to give up his military power to his foreign surname, so he decisively rejected their request. So the Sikong family soon brewed a palace rebellion, although it was suppressed in time, and according to the ancestral teachings, they had a chance to avoid death, although they were not punished, but their descendants also lost the qualification to avoid death. ”

Brother Scar asked, "That's it, they shouldn't have a grudge with the Second Wangfu!"

Tie Chao smiled bitterly: "The team that suppressed the rebellion in the palace was commanded and dispatched by the Second Prince's Mansion. Do they endure such hatred, you say?"

Duan Wushuang said: "In this way, it is indeed a deep hatred!"

Ou Chufei said: "However, the practice of the Second Prince's Mansion represents the authority of the imperial royal family, and it also represents justice, even if their Sikong family hates the Second Prince's Mansion, it is also indebted to the law." ”

Dongxue said: "Justice? The justice of this world is to speak with your fists! When you are weak, justice will not be on your side!"

Tie Chao also said: "According to the relevant records of the Second Prince's Mansion, after the victory of the suppression of the rebellion, although the eldest prince was exempted from the death penalty of the Sikong family and could inherit the title of prince, they were allowed to accept the punishment of cutting off their feet. ”

"The punishment of cutting off the feet?" Duan Wushuang asked suspiciously, "What kind of punishment is this?"
