Chapter 252: The Murderer
Prince Chun, who loved his daughter like his life, was the first to arrive, and after learning about it, he said a few words about Jianing, and said a few polite words to Ning Bohou, and went back with Jianing.
Min Rou didn't know if it was true or not, and still didn't wake up. Jing'an Hou stepped forward and took the people away first.
Although Hui Niang is from Hefu, she was a guest at the Li family, and she came out with Qin E and Li Yuyao. Thinking of Master He's foolish style, Li Feng, who has always been upright, came up with this for her.
"Miss He was poisoned in your mansion, and it was a strange poison in southern Xinjiang, should Ning Bohou give us an explanation. ”
Ning Bohou is an old man with a thin face, and Xue Bao'er is his old son and is very spoiled. At this moment, he glanced at his daughter with some complaints, and arched his hand: "General Li Xiao, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give an explanation to the two governments." The top priority is to send Miss He home first and treat her as soon as possible. There are many medicinal herbs in my house, and there are two good doctors, who are at your disposal. ”
Ning Bohou is also a veteran marquis, and he also has some prestige in front of the emperor, but at this time, he lowered his posture, and Li Feng didn't say much.
Moreover, it is true that human life is more important at the moment.
Li Feng sent someone to send Mrs. He and Huiniang back to the house, and took Qin E and the others away.
Mrs. Li waited anxiously for a long time in Mingde Hall, and when she saw the five people coming back, she hurriedly asked the reason, and when she heard that Hui Niang had been hit by the "Water Lotus", she was shocked: "This poison has disappeared for almost thirty years, I thought it had been lost a long time ago, how could it still appear, it is still in the capital, in Ning Bohou's other village!"
Qin E said unexpectedly: "Old lady, do you also know it?"
Li Feng also looked at his mother suspiciously.
"Not only do I know, but I know how it disappeared. Mrs. Li said to him: "It was destroyed by your father." ”
It turned out that 30 years ago, General Li led his troops to exterminate the rebels in southern Xinjiang, and several generals under his command were all killed by this poison. General Li was furious, personally led the elite cavalry, touched the lair of the high priest hidden in the mountains and forests, annihilated the high priest and the rest of the party in one fell swoop, and burned down the god of the southern Xinjiang people, the altar of the gods.
Not only the things related to the "water lotus", but all the books and medicinal materials about poison there were all burned.
When the people from southern Xinjiang arrived, General Li had already fled with the rest of the people.
This surprise victory has dealt a serious blow to the spirit of the people in southern Xinjiang and disturbed their united camp. At the same time, it greatly boosted the morale of our army, and finally won the war.
This miraculous victory is a rich historical record, and it finally promoted peace on the frontier and laid the foundation for the country's stability for 30 years. And the Li family has also become one of the most noble clans in the Dazhao Kingdom.
Everyone knows this history by heart, but no one knows the role of "Water Lotus" here.
"Your father was victorious, but he was also a miserable victory. That cavalry was the most elite of the Li family's army, and only fifty were left when the three hundred people finally returned. And your father also fell for the trick of the high priest of Southern Xinjiang, and his body collapsed. Because of the critical moment of the battle against the enemy, your father did not dare to let people know his physical condition, and he has been supported by a large number of drugs. Those medicines are all tiger and wolf medicines that treat the symptoms but not the root cause, but they are to maintain the spirit, and the more you eat, the more serious the collapse of the body. ”
Mrs. Li's old face was full of sorrow for her deceased husband, "Not long after returning to Beijing, your father was bedridden. The emperor sent twelve imperial doctors to stay in front of his bed day and night, cherishing the medicinal herbs and sending them to the mansion like flowing water, but they still couldn't save your father's life. ”
Li Feng was still a young son at the time, and he didn't know much about the reason for his father's death. Hearing this at this moment, I couldn't help but redden.
"The 'Water Lotus' is only available to the high priests of Southern Xinjiang, and it appeared in the capital, and I am afraid that the remnants of Southern Xinjiang have infiltrated it. But how could it be used on Miss He, and how did Miss He provoke them?"
Li Feng said: "Ning Bohou has promised to investigate this matter thoroughly, and I think there will be news soon." ”
Old Taijun Li sneered, "Hmph, he has to find out thoroughly, the strange poison of Southern Xinjiang appeared in his mansion, what will the emperor think of him?"
Li Feng couldn't help but look scolded.
When it comes to the previous dynasty, many things are much more complicated.
Mrs. Li asked, "With Miss He, did you notice anything wrong, or something suspicious?"
Qin Yan shook her head, "I didn't find anything wrong." ”
Li Feng said: "No matter who it is, it will be a good opportunity for the emperor to track down the remnants of southern Xinjiang." Ning Bohou is shrewd and cautious, whether he proves his innocence or makes meritorious service in front of the emperor, he will definitely come up with a murderer. ”
As soon as Li Feng's words fell, a tea bowl fell to the ground.
Li Yuyao's face turned white, and she said tremblingly: "I heard that it was the remnants of Southern Xinjiang again, and it was fighting and killing, and I was a little panicked. ”
Mrs. Li said lovingly: "You are also frightened this time." He asked Qin E again, "You also fell into the water, are you okay?"
"Don't worry, old lady, I'm fine. Qin E stepped forward to comfort Mrs. Li, touched the teapot, and said to the maid beside her: "The tea is cold, go change to a hot pot." ”
The maid immediately went to change the tea.
Mrs. Li touched her hand, "It's cold, let's go back and rest quickly, and we'll talk about the rest later." ”
"Old lady. Qin E lowered her head, "I stabbed Miss Min, and the Min family and the Jing'an Hou Mansion probably won't give up." ”
Qin E knew her strength, it was very heavy, and Min Rou's hand would not be good.
Mrs. Li thought Qin E was scared, and comforted her: "Don't be afraid, with me, I won't make it difficult for them." ”
The maid brought back the hot tea, and Qin E waved her hand and said, "I'll come." Personally poured a cup of hot tea for Mrs. Li, "Mrs. Li, I have caused trouble for you and the Li family, but you and everyone still take care of me like this, Yuan Niang is grateful." I borrow flowers to offer Buddha, and I would like to present you with a cup of hot tea to express my heart. ”
Mrs. Li took the teacup with a smile, "Silly boy, this is your home, you're welcome." ”
The teacup was about to reach her mouth, and Qin E suddenly said: "Old lady, I said that Min Rou wanted to kill me, so I stabbed her, do you believe it?"
Mrs. Li's hand slowly lowered, "What?"
Qin E said again: "Old lady, I am also thirsty, and I also want to drink a little water." ”
As he spoke, he picked up a cup under the surprised gaze of everyone, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all.
"Yuan Niang, what are you doing here?"
Qin E put down the cup and slowly raised her head, "Old lady, this is how Hui Niang drank the poison. ”
"Honk", another cup fell to the ground, shattered in half.
Qin E looked at the voice, "That cup of poisoned tea was originally meant to be drunk for me, but it was drunk by Hui Niang." You originally wanted to poison me, right, Sister Yuyao. ”
The room was silent, Li Yuyao's face was pale miserably, and tea dripped down her skirt.
