125.Chapter 125: Difficult
Probably because "Zhang Yunhua" looked at himself too differently than before, Liu En did not prescribe medicine and leave immediately after the end of the pulse diagnosis, but sat in front of the bed and looked at her silently for more than ten seconds, his beard trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything.
Zhang Yunhua is not in good health, coupled with his old age and poor eyesight, Yang Qinglan doesn't know if it's her delusion, she always feels that Liu En's gaze on her is not the same as looking at her benefactor's wife, but she still calmed down and didn't say a word, and after staring at him for a while, she closed her eyes, pretending to be overwhelmed and pretending to rest.
Seeing that the old lady closed her eyes, the maid on the side hurriedly called Liu En aside to inquire about her condition, and was greatly relieved to learn that it was just an accidental imbalance of qi and blood, and then closed the door to grab the medicine.
Although there is a shadow queen halo to support, but the pain is real, less than half an hour has passed since the projection, Yang Qinglan feels that it is a century long, coupled with all kinds of confusion in her thinking, she is even considering the possibility of directly choosing to end the mission and run away.
But she didn't do it in the end.
This is the first mission of the C-level, if she runs away directly, the next mission information will be directly zero, what if it is more difficult? Don't you want to do tasks in the future?
Taking a deep breath, Yang Qinglan lay on the soft couch and began to chant the scriptures according to the way Zhang Yunhua remembered to escape the pain, and took off a string of wooden beads from his wrist with his right hand, and read it while counting, and after his attention was diverted, it seemed that he was really not as uncomfortable as he was just now.
But......
I don't know who wrote this scripture, although there are many words she doesn't know what they mean at all, but she can still understand the general meaning of the whole text, Zhang Yunhua's most often read scripture actually has nothing to do with Buddhism, the whole article is saying that "good and evil will eventually be rewarded, heaven is good reincarnation, and those who do evil have their own heavenly harvest", every sentence is alluding to the royal family of the Li Dynasty.
Generally, the recitation of Buddhist scriptures makes people feel pure and have few desires, but this scripture makes her more and more resentful, and she used to be just a person to He Luo, but later not only hated the entire He royal family, but even the Li Dynasty regime was eager to overthrow immediately.
In this way, the increasing severity of her mental illness has a lot to do with this text.
Thinking of this, Yang Qinglan began to recite the Diamond Sutra that he memorized because of practicing calligraphy in college, although there are many passages that he can't remember clearly, but it is better than the current one.
However, she underestimated Zhang Yunhua's obsession Cheng DΓΉ.
As soon as the Diamond Sutra was silently recited three paragraphs, a strong sense of anger and disgust rose from the bottom of her heart, making her stomach twitch and her throat tight, and she couldn't help retching, if it wasn't for the fact that there was nothing in her stomach, she would probably vomit it out immediately.
After retching a few times, Yang Qinglan only felt that his eyes were black, and even his breath was tinged with a trace of blood, and the headache that he had managed to suppress just now struck again, and even the aura of the queen of the shadow did not play a role, not to mention that the aura still had a time limit, and it would be even more difficult to endure after this time.
The first time she encountered a host who was so obsessed, Yang Qinglan couldn't even control the feelings of the projection character, let alone carry out the task, it seemed that before the task, the first thing she had to do was to make this body obedient.
I don't know how long it took, the pain finally dropped to enough to endure and be able to think a little, Yang Qinglan called up the control panel and saw that there were only eighteen minutes left in the aura, and suddenly felt that time was pressing, and supporting her arms was like sitting up from a soft couch.
But his arms were weak and he didn't have any strength, and he failed to hold on several times.
At this time, she also found the tassel on the side of the soft couch that she had torn with her hands, and if it weren't for the fact that there were fabric fibers of the same color in her fingernails, and the fingertips were strangled with traces, she wouldn't have known that she did it.
Staring at the pale and emaciated hands of "herself", Yang Qinglan closed her eyes and exhaled a deep breath of turbidity.
Although she initially found a breakthrough in the task from Liu En, this sense of loss of control is really worrying, and she doesn't know when Zhang Yunhua's mental illness will suddenly attack and whether it will be fatal.
Therefore, while she gradually controls this body, she also needs to master the sober law of "Zhang Yunhua", avoid doing task-related things when she is sick, and there are several episodes in the original novel where Qi Yuanzhi grabbed important clues because of faint tricks.
Packing up her mood and lying down again, Yang Qinglan planned to call the maid to come in to help.
"Cherry, cherry!"
Hearing Madame's call, the maid who had been guarding the door immediately walked in, and when she saw the tassels in that place, she didn't even move her eyelids, obviously accustomed to it, and took a few steps forward to turn them aside with her feet at will, and then carefully helped Madame to sit up from the soft couch, and at the same time I don't know where to find a handkerchief, and gently wiped the sweat beads on her forehead.
Knowing that Cherry was Zhang Yunhua's confidant, and almost knew her intentions, Yang Qinglan was not polite, sat up and leaned directly on her, and asked after calmly breathing, "Is today's routine reported?" β
Zhang Yunhua is not in good spirits, and her memory is not good, Yang Qinglan rummaged through her memories and didn't figure out which time period she projected, the only thing she can know is that now her identity has been exposed to Qi Yuanzhi and He Zhe, but those two did not attack her because they had no evidence.
Fortunately, Zhang Yunhua himself knows his own situation, so every day he will ask his henchmen to write down the most important things in the recent report and record them, and then give them to her to see, as long as she reads today's report, she should be able to know what time it is.
Hearing her ask this question, Cherry paused for her sweaty hand, and then replied, "I arrived two hours ago, do you want to see it again?" β
Look at it again......
Yang Qinglan has a bit of a black line.
How bad is Zhang Yunhua's memory to forget what he has just seen?
"Well, show me again."
"I'll go get it now, and ask Madame to wait."
Cherry helped "Zhang Yunhua" to lean on the back of the soft couch, took back the handkerchief, walked quickly to the Buddha statue in the Buddha hall, stumbled to find a box, hugged the whole box, and when she walked in front of Yang Qinglan, she directly lifted the lid and handed it over to her to see.
"The last few days' reports are here, and the top one is today."
Yang Qinglan hummed and then reached out and picked up the routine report, and looked at it slowly.
It didn't take long for her to know what was going on.
It is now the spring and summer of the twentieth year of Chang'an, the protagonist Qi Yuanzhi is twenty-seven years old this year, and he has just been promoted by He Zhe at the beginning of the year, serving as the secretary of Qingtian Mansion, holding the Qingtian Order issued by He Zhe in his hand, and his official position has changed from three products to three products, and he also holds the position of a branch of the Criminal Department, and there is no case in Dali that he can't investigate.
It was also this year that Zhang Yunhua lost every step of the way, and finally ended up miserable.
Today's report is about an event that is described in detail in the original text of the novel.
Jinyang poisonous porridge case.
In the spring of the twentieth year of Chang'an, because of the heavy snow in winter, there were snow disasters in many places across the country, and after the snow melted, there were floods, and many refugees appeared in the territory of the Li Dynasty.
Although the Li Dynasty gradually prospered, after all, the country was not established for a long time, and the background was not deep, and the appearance of refugees immediately stretched the already insufficient treasury.
Under Qi Yuanzhi's rule, He Zhe ordered merchants across the country to take measures to help the victims, and then local officials supervised the issuance of disaster relief tokens, and then used the tokens to reduce taxes after the disaster.
Although this decree caused many officials and businessmen to collude with token counterfeiting to take advantage of the opportunity to evade taxes, it also greatly alleviated the disaster and snuffed out the civil uprising that had not yet arisen in the cradle.
But just when everyone thought that the disaster had passed, there was a poisonous porridge case outside Jinyang City, and the six soup kitchens set up by a local wealthy businessman surnamed Ge were all poisoned porridge, and nearly 200 corpses of refugees were piled up outside Jinyang City in less than a day.
In addition to the dead, there are many poisoned but not dead refugees wailing outside the city, those with mild symptoms rushed into the city gate like crazy in order to survive, trying to find a doctor to save their lives, and some refugees who did not drink porridge thought that the Ge family maliciously harmed people, and collectively dispatched to surround Gefu, killing and injuring dozens of people in Gefu.
was aroused bloody, the refugees began to impact the rich families in the city, and later even the ordinary people did not let go, the residents in the city and the refugees outside the city became opposites, giving birth to countless conflicts, the officials of Jinyang City could not manage it at all, and the nearest garrison was far away from a hundred miles, and a good Jinyang City became a hell on earth because of a pot of poisonous porridge.
And the one who planned this incident was Zhang Yunhua.
No, it should be said that she was the one who proposed the poison porridge plan at the beginning, but it turned out to be like this later, which was also unexpected by her.
Originally, she just figured out that guΓ² poison porridge caused an incident so that the refugees would be dissatisfied with the Li Dynasty regime, but she didn't know if it was because her order was miscommunicated or if the people below took it upon themselves to carry it out, and directly increased the poison/drug dose tenfold, causing such a strict consequence.
If it weren't for the fact that the nature of this matter was too bad, He Zhe and Qi Yuanzhi would not have accelerated the pace of action, dug up all the arrangements she had made more than 20 years before in just one year, and then arrested her in the heavenly prison, and prepared to use the death penalty of "five horses splitting the corpse" against her.
At this time, more than ten days have passed since the poisoned porridge case, Jinyang City has been pacified by the army that drove away, and the person who poisoned him has also been ambushed, and Qingtianfu is investigating the mastermind behind the scenes-of course, it is just for show, because both Qi Yuanzhi and He Zhe know that Zhang Yunhua is behind those people, but there is no direct evidence.
Staring at this routine report over and over again, Yang Qinglan's head began to hurt again.
The time for the halo has run out, and she can only rely on herself now, but as long as she uses her brain a little, it seems that there is a whisk in her brain that is beating eggs, and it hurts to twitch and twitch, and she can only understand it after reading hundreds of words, and she is tired of a layer of fine sweat behind her.
Yang Qinglan decided to turn to Cherry for help.
"Before I ...... Did you say anything? β
Cherry shook her head: "You just watched and didn't say anything. β
"And what about yesterday?"
"You asked Momiji to send a handwritten letter to Uncle."
Uncle? A handwritten letter?
Yang Qinglan blinked, and it took a long time to remember that the uncle in the cherry mouth was Zhang Yunhua's eldest son Liu Yande, but she couldn't remember that she sent a letter to her son yesterday, let alone the content of the letter.
What should I do?
