Chapter 35: Secret Calculation (Asking for a Reward)
The journey was safe and sound, and the next stop was Wu'an County.
The weather was fine, Ouyang Leadhua took a nap and looked at the scenery outside, and his mood suddenly brightened.
Wei Liang took out a delicate handkerchief and put some delicate snacks in it. Ouyang Leadhua picked one up and tasted it, and unconsciously praised: "Yes, sweet but not greasy, who made it?" ”
Wei Liang laughed in a low voice: "Princess, this honey lemon cake is a new food made by the cook, Fuyang is rich in lemons, although there are no fresh lemons in this early spring, but there are dried lemons, the cook made this snack, made it overnight, and is ready to be taken as dry food for the soldiers on the road." ”
Ouyang Leadhua nodded in admiration, and said to Qingzhu: "You ordered to go down and reward these cooks, you really have a heart." ”
Yu Sheng said: "It's not just this, Fuyang tofu is the most famous, before leaving, the city lord's wife brought us a lot of dried tofu, don't try it." ”
Ouyang Leadhua picked up the food in his hand and shouted, "Don't eat it yet, have these things been distributed to the soldiers?" ”
Wei Liang was startled, nodded violently and said, "Yes, early this morning, I shared the food with Yu Sheng, Qinglan and them." ”
Ouyang Leadhua secretly cursed badly, and as soon as he wanted to get up and command, Mu Gaolang hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, many soldiers have severe diarrhea, and I am afraid that they will not be able to move forward." ”
Ouyang Leadhua was taken aback, and sure enough, he commanded sharply: "Mu guard, pass on the order of the palace, the dry food you brought today, dried tofu and honey lemon cakes should not be taken at the same time, the two are poisonous when they meet, causing diarrhea, hurry up and order." ”
However, it was too late.
Only a small number of soldiers did not take food, and most of the army had severe diarrhea and could only rest on the spot.
Xiang Junyan replied: "Your Highness, do you want to arrest that city lord and torture him?" ”
Ouyang Leadhua shook his head, and then said: "It's useless, this honey lemon cake is made by our chef himself, and the dried tofu is a piece of the city lord's wife's heart, even if you check it, you can't find out why." ”
Xiang Junyan continued: "Your Highness, your subordinates think that there is something strange about this matter, do you want to arrest those cooks?" ”
Before Ouyang Leadhua could speak, Yuan Ruisi came over and said, "Senior sister, General An also has diarrhea, and only I am healthy now." ”
Yuan Ruisi is used to calling his senior sister, he always can't shout when he asks him to call His Royal Highness, he can still remember when he is in the palace on weekdays, and he forgets everything when he is in a hurry.
Ouyang Leadhua didn't pay attention to these details and asked, "Are those cooks still in trouble?" What about Oriental Thousand Birch? ”
Yuan Ruisi said: "His Royal Highness Dongfang was also poisoned, and none of the cooks were spared, even the several imperial doctors in the army were not spared. ”
Ouyang Leadhua had a pair of cold eyes and whispered something to Xiang Junyan.
Turned to Yu Sheng and said, "Yu Sheng, you and Weiliang went to check how many antidiarrheal drugs we brought?" Also, the medicine brought by the imperial doctor was also handed out. Yu Sheng, you know how to be measured, I believe you can deal with such a minor illness. ”
He said to Qingzhu again: "Qingzhu, help me down to see how the soldiers are doing." ”
Qingzhu nodded, fortunately they didn't eat it just now, the princess knows medical skills, otherwise how would they understand the truth of this food restraint?
Ouyang Leadhua inspected the circle, but fortunately, it was found in time, and it was not serious.
However, after this delay, I am afraid that I will not be able to reach Wu'an County tonight.
Qingcheng said: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, it's a big deal to stay out for a day today, the soldiers are all battle-hardened people, and this little hardship can also be eaten, but the princess has a golden body, so she should go back to the carriage early to rest." ”
Ouyang Leadhua didn't answer, only to see Xiang Junyan hurriedly come to report, and whispered into Ouyang Leadhua's ear: "Your Highness, those three imperial doctors are all fake diarrhea, as for His Highness Dongfang, it's true." ”
Ouyang Leadhua's eyes turned cold, and he said ruthlessly: "Arrest them all for me, and call everyone over for me, I will judge them in public." ”
It was getting late, and all the soldiers had already set up camp, and within a while, Xiang Junyan arrested those imperial doctors.
Several people knelt down tremblingly, and said in trembling voices: "Your Highness forgives your sins." ”
Ouyang Leadhua took the tea, took a sip, and said softly: "Oh? But tell me, "What sin do you have?" ”
Several people looked at each other, and one of them, a man wearing a navy blue crane with a fat head and big ears, said first: "The ministers are not skilled in medicine, and they don't know that the mixture of honey and tofu causes diarrhea, so they are shallow in learning, and I hope that His Royal Highness will forgive them." ”
Ouyang Leadhua's eyes swept over the Mu guards standing beside him, and ordered, "Beat, beat me hard until they are willing to tell the truth." ”
Ouyang Leadhua lowered her eyebrows and drank tea, as if she couldn't hear the heart-rending roar, she casually picked up an osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth, carefully observing the expressions of everyone present, some worried, some fearful, some gloating, and some like Dongfang Qianhua, bowing their heads and playing with something that could not see the expression.
Finally, one of them shouted, "I say, I say, beg the princess to spare her life." ”
Ouyang Leadhua put down the teacup in his hand at this time, raised his head and said with a smile: "Oh? Ken said? ”
Then he motioned for the Mu guards to stop.
Covered in blood, tears and sweat on his face, he couldn't see his face clearly, only to see him struggling: "It's him." He pointed to the man in the navy blue crane and said, "It was Master Li who gave each of us five hundred taels of silver last night, and told us to encourage the cook to make honey snacks, and not to say anything about the compatibility of honey and dried tofu, and let us pretend to have diarrhea." ”
I saw that Master Li was startled, struggled to get up and roared angrily: "Your Highness, Weichen has been wronged." ”
Ouyang Leadhua just glanced at Master Li, and gestured to the Mu guard: "It seems that Master Li doesn't want to tell the truth, what do you say?" ”
Mu Gao Lang raised his voice and said: "I heard that the person who studies medicine cares about those hands the most, so it is better to let his subordinates cut off his fingers one by one." ”
Xiang Junyan continued: "What does that mean, Your Highness, according to the foolish opinion of your subordinates, you will take the bone-eroding steel wire and buckle it on your fingers, and tear it off one by one to be happy." ”
After Xiang Escort finished speaking, Master Li turned even more pale, struggled to crawl in front of General An, grabbed An Chengyun's trouser leg tightly, and shouted in despair: "General An save me, Weichen is better off dead if he doesn't want to live." ”
An Chengyun's face turned white, and he hurriedly knelt down and said to Ouyang Leadhua: "Your Highness, Weichen ・・・・・ Weichen have absolutely nothing to do with this matter. This Lord Li framed me, and I hope His Highness will see it. ”
When Lord Li saw An Chengyun's look of not being saved, he immediately said absolutely: "How can the general be like this? If it wasn't for the general's arrangement, how could the subordinate do such a foolish thing, the general promised me, if it was done, he would marry the peony girl to me.
