Chapter Ninety-One: Knocking on the Mountain and Shaking the Tiger (I)
After taking a bath, Nangong Xue also changed her clothes, and then Nangong Xue simply ate some breakfast and left, Xiao Yuemu sent Nangong Xue out of the door, feeling a little cautious in her heart, Dongmei and Chunxue stood next to her and said cautiously: "Sister Yue, what your godfather said in the morning is true?" Yesterday, Miss was busy until so late to come back, and I felt distressed when I saw it. It's the same again today. You can't come back so late in the evening like you did yesterday, can you? ”
Xiao Yue shook her head distressedly and said, "Hey, who knows, it's strange to think about Miss, it has nothing to do with her, but it's okay now, I hope to clear up my grievances as soon as possible." ”
As soon as Nangong Xue went out, she got into the carriage and galloped straight to the Nancheng Deacon's mansion. After arriving at the mansion, Nangong Xue said directly to Qi Runben: "Lord Qi, I came today to tell you something,......。 Saying that, Nangong Xue told Qi Runben about the poisoning in the well that was detected yesterday, and then said, "...... So here, I hope you can send a proclamation to the people in the vicinity not to use the well for the time being, and I will find a way to rebuild it with the emperor on how to manage the well. ”
"But ......?" Qi Runben was a little hesitant, after all, this announcement had to be reported to the imperial court, even if it was not reported to the emperor, then it had to be reported to the Nancheng Imperial History. But now that he is in such a hurry to issue a notice, Qi Runben said with a little bit of an idea, "For such a major event as a notice, the lower officials have to report it to the lower officials, it's not Lord Nangong that you can send it, this is a bit embarrassing." The lower official is only afraid that it will be ...... There's nothing you can do. ”
As soon as Qi Run's voice fell, Nangong Xue took out the token given by Zhao Hong and said: "Lord Qi, I know that you may hesitate to build my building, but for the sake of the people, I can only do this, this is the token of the Thirteen Princes, if the official remembers correctly, this token is equivalent to the emperor's personal visit, of course, it is also equivalent to getting the emperor's imperial approval, so Lord Qi, you are hesitating and have to carry out the official's proposal." That's an order. ”
Qi Runben looked at the token in Nangong Xue's hand, which was indeed a royal token, and then he responded: "Since it is an order issued by the thirteenth prince, then the lower official will issue a notice to the people in the vicinity to let them stop using the well for the time being." As for the drinking water problem after that, the lower officials will help solve it. Is it okay for you to look at such a content? ”
Nangong Xue nodded when she heard this, and replied: "Okay, just issue a notice according to this content, let the master write it, and the people can benefit from it as soon as possible." ”
"Lord Nangong, then the lower official still has a question, I don't know if I should talk about it or not?" Qi Runben pleaded.
"If Lord Qi has any questions, just ask, this official will definitely know everything." Nangong Xue replied.
"And how did you come to this point so quickly?" Qi Runben still had some questions about Nangong Xue's investigation of the poisoning in one day, so he asked, "Xiaguan is stupid and asks Lord Nangong to make it clear." ”
When Nangong Xue heard this, her face showed a faint confident expression, because she expected that Qi Runben would definitely have doubts about this, so she told Qi Runben about the events of yesterday's run for a day and told Qi Runben about two-thirds of the way, but in these two-thirds, Nangong Xue still concealed and omitted something, but Nangong Xue still made it clear about the general situation of the matter, but for the concealment, Nangong Xue also told her in the carriage this morning because of Wei Yongnian: "In the officialdom, don't trust anyone, because in this world, There are no friends, no enemies, only interests. Nangong Xue was convinced of this sentence, and she also recognized this sentence very much. This phrase applies everywhere you go. Therefore, Nangong Xue did not fully believe in Lord Qi. So a third of what was said to him was hidden.
After hearing Nangong Xue's explanation, Qi Run already had a feeling of being surprised, of course, among them, Qi Run still had some scruples, compared to what Wu Changgao had told him, he still had some taboos in his heart. He is also a smart person, and Qi Runben has his own opinion on the behind this matter, but no matter how this case is closed, Qi Runben still hopes to keep a distance from him, after all, there are some things that he doesn't want to be innocently involved. To put it bluntly, Qi Run just wanted to protect himself. As for who was sacrificed and who was helped in this case, Qi Run didn't want to think too much, but if he could protect himself and achieve his goal, it was enough.
After some discussion, the notice was also posted according to Nangong's intentions, and the people living in the vicinity were shocked when they saw this notice. One by one, they all felt that this poisoning case was too unbelievable, no matter what the purpose, it finally caused very tragic consequences to the people, which is really outrageous. The people have asked the government for their lives, demanding that the government must severely punish these vicious people.
It was really a stone that stirred up a thousand waves, and the fire of anger of the people was ignited at once, and the raging fire of anger instantly surrounded the yamen of the deacon of Nancheng. Seeing this out-of-control scene, Qi Runben stood in front of the gate of the government and said loudly: "People, please calm down, this official knows that this case has brought infinite pain to your family, but this official is here to assure you that the official will definitely punish this case severely, and the real murderer who poisoned him will definitely be arrested so that you can be given justice." Please believe in this officer, and I also implore you to go home first to recuperate, and I will inform you as soon as there is any situation about the case. I beg you all to go back first. ”
Just when these people surrounded the yamen and begged for their lives, Wei Yongnian stood in the corner and stared without blinking, hoping to see some clues. At the same time, Nangong Xue went to the homes of those victims to inquire about the situation, because Zhao Hong told Nangong Xue that there would be some pain in the process of detoxification, but as long as it was passed, the toxins in the body must be discharged. When you drink the medicine you take internally, you will get much better. Therefore, Nangong Xue went door to door and told them the situation of this medicine word for word, hoping that they could endure it.
Just as the people were about to disperse, Wei Yongnian suddenly noticed that a black shadow suddenly disappeared around the corner in the distance. Wei Yongnian pretended not to see it in order not to startle the snake, but after the black shadow disappeared, Wei Yongnian hurriedly chased after it, wanting to see if the black shadow was going in that direction.
At the same time that Wei Yongnian was chasing the black shadow, the people surrounding the gate of the mansion were gradually persuaded to retreat by Qi Runben, and at this moment Nangong Xue's visit to the patient was also finished, but when he returned to the official mansion, he found that Wei Yongnian was no longer there, and he "chuckled" in his heart, and secretly thought in his heart: "Isn't there something wrong, why am I so panicked in my heart?" When I was at home, I felt that my father and grandfather seemed to be hiding something from me, did they not want me to know or some other reason? Now that Uncle Wei is no longer here, something should have happened. ”
But just when Nangong Xue was full of doubts, Wei Yongnian didn't know when he had come back, he was embarrassed to bother when he saw Nangong Xue so distracted, he just stood quietly beside her and waited for her to come back to her senses.
After a while, the horse snorted twice, and this time Nangong Xue pulled Nangong Xue back from her thoughts, and when she saw Wei Yongnian again, she couldn't help but be startled, and then asked, "Uncle Wei, are you back?" I don't know if it's convenient for you to tell me, where did you just go? I'm waiting! ”
Wei Yongnian replied, "Well......." Just now I just went to the latrine to relieve your hands, so you have to wait for a long time. ”
"Is it just a relief?" Nangong Xue obviously didn't believe Wei Yongnian's answer, and always felt that Wei Yongnian had something to hide from her, from the moment she just saw Wei Yongnian pause in speaking, Nangong Xue's intuition told her that she must be hiding something, and then she said lightly, "Okay, this matter will be turned over, so I won't mention it again." Uncle Wei, you have to accompany me to the Tai Hospital next, now that the things that need to be done have been done, it is time for the borrowed things to return to Zhao. Wei Yongnian nodded and replied, "Okay." With that, he helped Nangong Xue to get into the carriage, and then drove the carriage straight towards the Tai Hospital.
When he arrived at the Tai Hospital, Nangong Xue returned the token to Zhao Hong and expressed his gratitude, Zhao Hong waved his hand and said: "Needless to say, it is appropriate to be a doctor to save lives and help the injured." For the matter of the token, it is actually something I expected, you have just entered the imperial court, and I think you don't understand some of the rules of being an official, so this time the well is equivalent to my order, and his deacon yamen does not dare to openly disobey. I'm sure you'll understand me if I don't show up, so I'll make it clear here. By the way, you must have visited the victims, right? What happens after they take the antidote? How much does this antidote vomit after drinking it? It's good to vomit a few more times, only when you spit out the residual toxins in the body can all be discharged, and when you vomit nothing, you can take the therapeutic medicine, and after a few more drinks, you should be back to health. ”
Nangong Xue nodded and replied: "Okay, I know, I will convey these things you explain to the victimized people one by one, don't worry." I had already gone to see them in the morning, and they did vomit after taking the medicine, I imagined that it would take a while to vomit, and I told them at the time, just stick to it and endure it, after all, there is a process of treatment. As soon as I explained, the people understood, so they took the medicine according to the method you said. Don't worry, I'll go over there often. ”
"By the way, I'll tell you something." Nangong Xue paused, and then stepped forward and whispered something to Zhao Hong, Zhao Hong's eyes widened, and he asked in surprise: "Isn't it?" Nangong Xue nodded slightly and said: "I also suspect it, but there is still no evidence at present, but I don't want to pull you in on this matter, you are a dignified prince, if you are rashly involved, I think things may become complicated, so you just listen to it." It's better not to get involved unless you have to. ”
“……。” Zhao Hong looked at Nangong Xue silently, nodded slightly, and said, "Then since you have talked about this, then what else can I say?" But if there's anything you need my help with, be sure to let me know. I'll be sure to help you to the end. ”
"Hmm. I know. Nangong Xue smiled and nodded, "Who told us to be 'iron buddies' since we were children." After saying that, the two of them couldn't help laughing.
