Chapter 68

"I don't know if it's small, the proprietress never greets us when she goes out. ”

"Hmph, I think, she just absconded in fear of crime, came to someone, arrested all the people who are here today, and went back to have a good trial, and she couldn't let go of any of them!"

Again, the neat response: "Yes!"

Footsteps came from the doorway, scattered to different rooms, and the chaotic footsteps came from the wooden floor, followed by the "ouch" and "my mother's hey" from the guys and cooks who were being roughed up......

Listening to the sound of soldiers stepping on the stairs, Huang Diao looked at the door nervously, then turned his head to look at Feng Ge and Guan Linsen, and pushed open the window: "This is connected to the private house behind, Your Highness should go from here." They are menacing, and they must not have good intentions. ”

Feng Ge frowned slightly: "I said that the deadline is three days, how could I suddenly surround this place again today, there must be a reason for this, the death of the Northern Yan people and this hibiscus flower, maybe it has something to do with it, I want to stay and see what the hell they are doing." ”

"Your Highness is a golden body, these people are all tigers and wolves, and they are only afraid of hurting Your Highness with rough hands and feet. Huang Diao was anxious, although he thought that his martial arts were not bad, but whether he could keep Feng Ge thorough in the chaos, he didn't dare to pack the ticket, he only hoped that Feng Ge could leave quickly.

"Boom!" the door was kicked open by several heavily armed soldiers, and it was impossible to walk by this time.

The leader saw Feng Ge and the others in the house, raised his right hand, and pointed at them: "Take down all three!"

Feng Ge raised his hand: "Slow!"

The slightly immature female voice carried the coercion of the long-time superior, which made some of the men in armor present can't help but stop.

"What kind of person, dare to shout slowly!" The face of the leader was a little unbearable, the little girl in front of him looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, standing there, but she had the momentum of directing the country and looking at the world.

Isn't it pretending?

He approached Feng Ge step by step and forced himself to compose: "Who are you?"

After getting closer, I found that the mutton fat jade pendant held by Feng Ge in his hand was engraved with the word "Ning", and with such a jade in Daxia, there was only one such a word engraved - the current saint sibling, Li Yunqing, Prince Ning!

After he realized this, the original bit of courage to support it was also gone.

"You...... You're the king's......" his voice trembled.

Feng Ge smiled proudly: "Who am I from the prince, and it's not your turn to take care of it, who are you?"

"Xiaguan Wangcheng Commander Xiahou Yong. ”

The royal city of Xixia is in charge of the big case in the royal capital, it seems that this matter has alarmed the Xixia royal family, it seems that this matter cannot be good, now I want to delay time, I am afraid that it depends on luck, Feng Ge's eyelids drooped slightly, and his tone was cold: "Do you want to arrest me back." ”

"The lower official doesn't dare! The lower official is also acting on orders, and if the girl has nothing to do with this matter, he also asks the girl to leave this place. ”

is really a serious worker, I was taken aback, and I still don't forget my original intention and insist on arresting people.

Feng Ge asked, "Who sent you?" Yesterday, Yan Xunsi had already said that the deadline was three days, but now it has only been one night, why did he regret it?"

"The envoy of Beiyan asked to solve the case as soon as possible, and I took over the matter on the orders of the Queen Mother. ”

Sure enough, her knife appeared in the Empress Dowager Fu's palace last time, and she still doesn't know whose hands and feet it is.

It seems that there are also storms and clouds in the capital of the Great Xia, and this Xiahou Yong in front of him is just a chess piece under the Empress Dowager Fu, presumably he has received a strict order, no matter how much he scares him, it will not have a greater effect, after all, Prince Ning also has to listen to the words of the Empress Dowager Fu.

"What is the will of the Empress Dowager?" Feng Ge asked bluntly, and Xiahou Yong replied: "Bring all the people in the Hongfang Pavilion to the Wangcheng Governor's Mansion for interrogation, and be sure to give an explanation to the envoys of Beiyan before dark." Please don't embarrass the girl. ”

When the incident happened the day before, although I was in a hurry, it was only a three-day period, where was there such a hurry, I was afraid that during this period of time, I don't know where there were variables.

The Daheng Palace secretly collects the information of various countries collected over the years, including the official systems of various countries, so Feng Ge can know that Western Xia has the position of the governor of the royal city, and also knows that their power is very large in the royal city, except for the affairs in the palace, from the prince, the hundred officials, down to the people of Limin, foreign envoys, no matter what, as long as they think they need to take over, they can take over.

The imperial power concession, except for the ministers above the third rank and the imperial relatives, there are almost nothing that they cannot manage and cannot manage.

If it weren't for the fact that Feng Ge took out Prince Ning's jade pendant, her "slow" would not have been ignored at all, and it would only increase the laughing stock.

Based on Feng Ge's understanding of this kind of authority, that is, if he is urged by the superiors, then in order to end this matter as soon as possible, he will not hesitate to torture to extract confessions, torture into confessions, and even fabricate confessions.

I believe that with the identity of the Xixia royal family, they should not be able to get along with a small restaurant, unless, they are exposed to the old department of the Hanshan Iron Cavalry?

So many years ago, even in Daheng, no one may know their origin by looking at them, let alone Daxia.

In just a few breaths, Feng Ge's thoughts turned a few times, and she couldn't think of it, at this time, how much she hoped that the souls of the adults in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple would be possessed, if it didn't work, Lin Xiangyu's soul would also be okay, he could be the county magistrate in Feng County for so long, and he should be much stronger than himself, a person who can only talk on paper.

Feng Ge was silent for a long time, and Xiahou Yong was anxious: "The Queen Mother has to obey, and I also asked the girl to give way slightly, the soldier was rude, for fear of accidentally hurting the girl's jade body." ”

The current situation has been made very clear, the people in the Hongfang Pavilion must enter the Wangcheng Governor's Mansion, otherwise this matter will be endless.

Feng Ge looked at Xiahou Yong fixedly: "The prince thinks that this matter is quite strange, and I also ask Lord Xiahou not to embarrass the people of Hongfang Pavilion, after I find out the real evidence, I am afraid that the prince will also look for them and ask them." ”

Xiahou Yong saw that Feng Ge was relieved, and he was already breathing a sigh of relief in his heart, naturally he was busy responding, anyway, after really entering the Wangcheng Governor's Mansion, how to deal with these people, naturally someone would give him instructions, and all the guarantees he made now were just casual remarks.

For these false and wronged official tones, if it is Feng Ge's father, the current saint, must be able to hear it, but for Feng Ge, those palace maids and eunuchs and guards in the deep palace, none of them dare not do it honestly and on time, although there are false things happening on the Golden Palace, but she can only see those ministers responding, as for whether the follow-up has been done or not, and how it has been done, she doesn't know at all.

Therefore, she sincerely believed that Xiahou Yong was really not a person who would embarrass Hongfang Pavilion, so Feng Ge did not stop it anymore, but asked Xiahou Yong to take the Yellow Eagle away.

Before leaving, Huang Diao glanced back at her and made a lip gesture to her, Feng Ge saw that this was the word "Yaolu", which meant that she should go to Yaolu to find Dugu Huaixin?

There is no pro-government yet, let alone me, if the queen mother says that she will abolish him and change someone else to be the emperor, Your Majesty will not be Your Majesty immediately. Dafengdo is only loyal to the actual owner of imperial power, not to any one person himself. This is also the reason why they were able to survive from the previous dynasty and not be killed by Taizu. ”

Soon, the officers and soldiers left Hongfang Pavilion, and now the building is empty, only Feng Ge and Guan Linsen are left, and the passers-by outside watched the people from the Wangcheng Governor's Mansion escort all the people in the store away, and only dared to whisper on the side, where did they dare to approach here half a step, for fear of causing trouble, in such a bustling downtown location, Feng Ge actually felt a feeling of emptiness.

We must hurry up and solve the matter, now there are no clues, even if he finds Li Yunqing, I am afraid that he will not be able to force Xiahou Yong to release people, and when the time comes, Empress Dowager Fu will give an order, even if it is a dignified King Ning, he will have to listen honestly.

"You say, should we go to the City Patrol Division to find Sister Lin and Sister Liang first, or go to the medicine house to find Dugu Huaixin first?" Feng Ge wanted to discuss with someone for the first time to ease the uneasiness in his heart.

"Yaohan. Guan Linsen explained concisely: "If Dugu Huaixin has found out the cause of the death of the Northern Yan people, then he can directly take him into the palace to meet the Empress Dowager Fu, and the Empress Dowager Fu will order the release of people, and the City Patrol Division is just the next level department of the Wangcheng Governor's Mansion, and it is impossible to release the Governor's Mansion if you want to release them." ”

"That makes sense. Feng Ge agreed, and went downstairs with Guan Linsen, but before he went out, he heard the noisy voices outside.

The passers-by and vendors outside didn't expect anyone else to be in the house, and they talked loudly about what had just happened:

"Have you heard, a few Beiyan people died after eating the dishes of Hongfang Pavilion, and Lord Xiahou came to investigate this matter. ”

"Ouch, no, the food here is precious, it can't be something bad, right?"

"Who knows, I've heard that the rich people in the south especially like to eat a kind of fish called pufferfish, that kind of fish, the appearance is a soft thorn, as soon as it is fished up, frightened, it will bulge into a ball, but it can be poisonous, the blood, the liver, are all poisonous, as soon as you eat it, you will finish the game! Only the meat is not poisonous, you say how much risk you have to take in order to eat a bite of meat, but you can't stand people like to eat, isn't it these Beiyan people, what rare and poisonous things have been eaten, right?"

"Hey, it's really hard to say, I heard that there is a kind of mushroom that will turn green and blue as soon as it touches people's hands, fried and eaten, fragrant and fresh, if it is not ripe, hey, you can see the colorful villains walking down from the wall one by one and dancing, didn't the people of Beiyan eat this kind of green and die?"

"What you said is nothing, I can see, after eating fish and shrimp, I immediately ate sour oranges, so I ate a lot of food for a few days, and then died, I heard that the autopsy was checked, it was arsenic poisoning!

The people outside speculated wildly, but there was no result, but it gave Feng Ge an inspiration, perhaps, the few things that the people of Beiyan eat are non-toxic, but they are only poisonous when they are mixed together?

She and Guan Linsen hurried to the medicine store, and when they were brought to Dugu Huaixin, Dugu Huaixin was carefully looking at the thin needles of different colors in their hands.

Feng Ge got straight to the point and told Dugu Huaixin what happened in the Hongfang Pavilion, and Dugu Huaixin said that he had discovered that the stomachs of the dead Beiyan people did have a toxic reaction, and what they ate was very ordinary.

"Is it possible, it's something that is common on weekdays, but when mixed up, it's poison?" Feng Ge remembered what he had heard others say just now.

Dugu Huaixin shook his head: "I thought of this possibility, but even if the food they eat is mixed together, it will not be possible to poison people." ”

"Could it be that there is a problem with the seasoning?" Feng Ge took out the black wilted hibiscus fruit from his purse, and Dugu Huaixin was shocked: "How can you have such a thing?"

"It was intercepted by one of my attendants on the way. Originally, this thing would be transported from Great Xia to Great Heng. In Daheng, only Tai Hospital has this kind of thing, I don't know what the planting range is in Daxia?" Feng Ge asked.

Staring at the hibiscus fruit in his hand, Dugu Huaixin's face was very serious: "Daxia also does not allow the people to plant hibiscus at will, only in the mountains behind Yanque Lake." ”

"So, maybe you planted it somewhere else?"

Dugu Huaixin shook his head: "The climate elsewhere in Daxia is very dry and the temperature changes greatly, Ah Hibiscus can't grow, only in the mountain behind Yanque Lake, it can grow, and elsewhere, even if you want to plant it with your heart, you can only grow a handful of dead grass." If someone wants to create an artificial environment to plant hibiscus, they will never escape the eyes of local officials, and if they want to imitate a suitable natural environment, it is impossible to plant only one or two trees, otherwise, the price paid is very great, and no one will do it. ”

Feng Ge suddenly remembered something and asked, "Then over the years, how about the amount of Ah Hibiscus used in Great Xia?"

"Although Ah Furong can suppress cough and temporarily relieve pain, however, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, even if someone in the royal family has whooping cough or the pain is unbearable, they all rely on their own willpower to withstand it, and never use Ah Furong unless it is absolutely necessary. ”

Feng Ge thought for a while, and then asked, "Then over the years, your Hibiscus has been planted like this, and it has never been used?"

"I used it, and when the last Beiyan envoy came, one of them said that he was bitten through the leg by a wild beast, and most of the meat was rotten, and it was really painful, so he used some. ”

It's Beiyan again, Feng Ge frowned.

These few things came together, so she couldn't help but think that maybe behind this whole thing, there was a huge conspiracy, if this matter was not investigated, there would be no good end in Hongfang Pavilion, and the medicine house would also be discredited because this medicine was under Dugu Huaixin, and the most terrifying thing was that Daheng had an inner ghost, who was connected to foreign countries, but he didn't know who it was.

"Stop, don't go in!" came the voice of the guard outside.
