Chapter Seventy-Five: The Lord of Fengluan
After the waiter and the eight others left, Xie Mohan's face showed a sad expression.
At ten o'clock in the morning, Yan Chen came back from outside exhausted and went straight to Xie Mohan's room.
"How? Can you come up with a way to control the spread of the epidemic? Xie Mohan saw him come back and immediately asked.
Yan Chen nodded, "I've figured out a way, but I lack a medicine." β
"What medicine?" Xie Mohan asked immediately.
"Black comfrey." Yan Chen said.
"Is this medicine scarce?" Xie Mohan asked.
Yan Chen shook his head, "It's not that this medicine is extremely scarce, it's just that it seems to have been purchased in advance." At the very least, this kind of grass cannot be found within a radius of 500 miles from Lin'an City. β
Xie Mohan's face changed, "Who bought it in advance?" β
Yan Chen shook his head, "Qin Yu is sending someone to investigate." β
"You just researched and needed to use black comfrey, why did someone take the black comfrey one step ahead?" Xie Mo was puzzled and said in surprise, "Could it be that the plague here is caused by man?" Only black comfrey can be solved? β
"Even if it's not man-made, someone wants to destroy this Lin'an City, or rather, wants to destroy the people in this Lin'an City." Yan Chen's face was solemn, "The person behind the scenes must have an extremely superb doctor by his side, it should be higher than my medical skills, I studied for two days before I thought of using black comfrey, and after all, it was a step too late, and the black comfrey was looted in advance." β
"There is no such grass within a radius of 500 miles." Xie Mohan was a little worried, "How many days can the situation in the city last?" β
"Three days at most." Yan Chen said.
"Three days is too short. At present, there is no black purple grass within a radius of 500 miles, and the black purple grass must be found as soon as possible, otherwise the lives of more than 100,000 people in Lin'an will be in danger, and Lin'an will truly become a city of bones. Xie Mohan coughed violently.
Yan Chen nodded.
"Who the hell is it?" Xie Mohan said angrily, "Even if it is for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and for my Xie Clan, we shouldn't have more than 100,000 people to accompany us to our lives." His heart is too ruthless, and his methods are too poisonous. Aren't you afraid of heaven's punishment? β
"If you have no humanity, how can you be afraid of heaven's punishment?" Yan Chen pursed his lips and changed his words, "I heard that Fanghua's eight maidservants came here overnight?" What do they have to say? β
"Speaking of which, if you don't come back, I will also send someone to look for you after dawn, and I am about to tell you about it." Xie Mohan calmed down his anger and said worriedly, "Originally, Fanghua had already arrived a hundred miles away, and he was going to leave at midnight last night, but then for some reason, he suddenly avoided the waiter and the other eight people alone. The waiter and others guessed that it was because Li Muqing had been following, she didn't like him to follow, and she couldn't refuse, so she could only throw them down and deliberately avoid them. β
Yan Chen thought about it when he heard this.
Xie Mohan explained what the waiter and others said to her again, and when the words fell, he sighed, "Now the notice of resignation has spread all over Southern Qin. The matter of the holy decree of resignation is already known to the whole world, and it is really puzzling. I sent a letter to Qin Zheng, but I haven't received a response from him so far, I originally planned to come to Fanghua to ask her why, but now she left alone after being injured, which is really worrying. β
"Fanghua has her own ideas, you don't have to think too much, take care of your body first." Yan Chen persuaded.
"You have a way to communicate with her, don't you?" Xie Mohan looked at Yan Chen, he was a smart person, and when he saw that Yan Chen didn't show as anxious and worried as he heard this, he couldn't help asking.
Yan Chen nodded, "But in the short term, it won't be used." β
Xie Mohan looked at him.
Yan Chen said in a low voice, "When we are safe, we are even more dangerous. It's best if she doesn't come to Lin'an. β
"Yes!" Xie Mohan woke up when he heard this, and nodded solemnly.
As soon as the two of them finished speaking, someone outside suddenly ran into the courtyard and hurriedly shouted, "Young Master Yanchen, hurry, hurry, it's not good." β
Yan Chen looked outside, stood up at the same time, walked to the door, and asked, "What's the matter?" β
"There was a mob of people who rioted and released people who were locked up with the plague, and those people rushed out, and one of them scratched His Highness the Prince. Chu Chi Gongzi was not there, so he went out of the city to look for medicine. Now it's just you. Go for it! The man said hurriedly.
Yan Chen nodded immediately when he heard this, walked out of the door quickly, and walked out.
Xie Mohan couldn't do it anymore, got up from the bed, and shouted, "Someone." β
Hearing this, he hurriedly ran in, "Master Hou." β
"Help me get dressed, and follow me to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Xie Mohan commanded.
Hearing this, he immediately said reluctantly, "Master Hou, your health is not good, although the old illness has healed before, but your body has been working hard and has never been raised." Now that it's dangerous outside, since there is a riot, it's better not to go out, if your body is infected with the plague, where can you survive? Haven't you seen how many strong men have contracted the plague and can't survive and die? β
Xie Mohan shook his head, "The crown prince is in danger of a city, and at this time, he can't have anything to do." If something happens to him, don't say that I will die of the plague, it's just a small matter, and it's a big deal that no one in this city will survive. β
"Is it that serious?" Shocked when he heard this, he muttered quietly.
"My body was not tossed, I fell ill after a cold, and now I am powerless and limited in what I can do for the epidemic in Lin'an. It still depends on the crown prince. If something happens to him, who will save the people of Lin'an? Xie Mo lowered his face and reprimanded, "It's not too fast." β
Hearing this, he immediately stopped talking, hurriedly helped him get dressed, and after a while, helped him out of the room.
Out of the Lin'an County Ya Mansion, the two got into the carriage, walked out of the two streets, and saw a mess in front of a mansion in front of them, with many soldiers escorting the struggling and shouting people to drag away, and there were large bloodstains of fighting on the ground, which showed how bad the situation here was earlier.
By the time the carriage came to the door, the soldiers had already taken away the troublemakers and the corpses.
After Xie Mohan got out of the carriage, the soldiers all knew his identity, and hurriedly saluted, did not stop him, and invited him in.
Xie Mohan walked straight to the mansion and came to a main house. After entering the house, I saw Qin Yu half-lying on the recliner, his arm was scratched a few times, and Yan Chen was treating his wounds. He was tired all over, his complexion was extremely bad, and he pursed his lips and let Yan Chen see and deal with it.
"Prince, how could such a thing happen?" Xie Mohan walked in quickly and asked him.
Seeing him coming, Qin Yu frowned slightly, "Mo Han, you are not in good health, why did you come here?" Nothing serious. β
"I heard that something happened, I don't feel at ease, come and take a look." Xie Mo gave Qin Yu a false salute, walked over to look at the wound on his arm, and asked Yan Chen, "How is it?" Is there anything going on? β
"I can't say for sure." Yan Chen said, "I have to observe for a long time." β
Xie Mohan frowned and looked at Qin Yu, "The prince not only has martial arts, but also has expert guards around him, how can he get people close?" And scratched you? β
Qin Yu's face was slightly cold, "That person is a master." After a pause, he sighed, "You know, since the moonset and Qingyan were exchanged, except for Qin Zheng's people, I didn't use the royal hermit guard, and Brother Yan Chen had just prepared a prescription that could suppress the plague, and there was a lack of black purple grass, so I sent Qingyan and everyone out, and as soon as they left, I didn't expect the people behind the scenes to get the news." β
Xie Mohan's face changed, "In this way, the person behind the scenes is in this city." β
Qin Yu was noncommittal, "It's either inside the city or not far outside the city." Otherwise, I will send someone to look for the black comfrey in less than half an hour. The mob made trouble. It was just the right time. β
"What about the man who scratched you?" Xie Mohan asked.
"Killed." Qin Yu said.
"Killed by you?" Xie Mohan looked at him, "Why didn't you leave a living mouth?" β
"Well, that man's martial arts are extremely high, and the situation was urgent at that time, if I don't kill him, my life will not be guaranteed." Qin Yu said, "I can only kill him." In addition, he is a man infected with the plague, and he can't kill him. β
"What about the man who was killed? Where is it now? Xie Mohan said, "Maybe some clues can be found from his corpse." β
"I've ordered someone to put it away first. Others are not allowed to approach, Brother Yan Chen is a doctor, let's go for a test later. Qin Yu said.
"It's good that the prince trusts me." Yan Chen smeared medicinal powder on Qin Yu's arm.
Qin Yu smiled faintly, "Although you are the uncle of the Northern Qi Dynasty, because of Fanghua's relationship, you have been stranded in Southern Qin to help her." Now that I am in Lin'an, and Brother Zigui is not in good health, even if you don't like me, you will not let Brother Zigui have an accident. Otherwise, you will live up to her trust. I naturally believe you, you just have to go and test. β
Yan Chen raised his eyes and glanced at Qin Yu, acquiesced to what he said, quickly bandaged him, and walked out.
"Fortunately, there is Yan Chen." Xie Mohan saw Yan Chen walk out of the door and whispered.
Qin Yu smiled and nodded, "Naturally, fortunately there is him, otherwise she wouldn't be so relieved that you would stay here, instead of rushing here, she would have gone to do something else." β
Xie Mohan was stunned when he heard this, "What does the prince mean by this?" β
"Brother Zigui, you are so smart, how can you not know what I mean by this?" Qin Yu looked out the window, "The safety of Lin'an City, the way to save it, is not in Lin'an City, but outside Lin'an City." Even if she came to Lin'an City, without black purple grass, she would be useless and trapped as a beast, and she could only be trapped in a net like us. So, it's better not to come. β
Xie Mohan looked at him, "You mean to say that my sister doesn't come here because Yan Chen ......"
Qin Yu didn't answer, but smiled and said, "Nan Qin, for example, every city and county in Chizhou today is plastered with notices of the Holy Decree of Resignation. Qin Zheng and Fanghua are no longer husband and wife, and they have nothing to do with each other anymore. After a pause, he looked at Xie Mohan again, "Brother Zigui, I went around in a circle, does it mean that she and Qin Zheng still have no relationship?" β
Xie Mohan looked at Qin Yu and said nothing.
Qin Yu didn't care that he didn't answer, and continued, "Maybe I really have a fate with her. β
Xie Mohan sighed in his heart, and hurriedly said, "Prince, although Brother Qin Zheng and her sister-in-law have come to this step now, it is still unknown what the inside story is. Besides, Sister She's already married to a woman, even if she and Brother Qin Zheng are not married now, they are not worthy of His Royal Highness the Prince. You must not have such a thought again, your fiancΓ©e and prospective crown princess is Miss Li of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. Now Beijing is also in a mess, if your idea is the right prime minister's mansion to get some rumors, after all, the right minister has been in the DPRK for many years, if you are disheartened, then the situation in the DPRK is even more unimaginable. β
"Brother Zigui, I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Qin Yu smiled.
Xie Mohan immediately said, "Southern Qin Jiangshan, tens of millions of people, the prince must be cautious, and must not ......."
"Alright, alright. Brother Zigui, you and I are the same age, young, how can you be like those old men in the court. Keeping saying that you don't leave the court, don't leave the country, don't leave Southern Qin? Qin Yu waved his hand, helplessly stopping Xie Yunlan and stopping him.
Xie Yunlan choked and could only stop talking, but his eyes looked at Qin Yu with extreme disapproval.
The corners of Qin Yu's mouth were hooked, and he suddenly said with a sneer, "Southern Qin has been multiplying for nearly three hundred years, whether it will continue to reproduce or decline, it depends on now." A dynasty continues to this day, under the huge prosperity, how many generations, how much dirt and decay have been covered. If we don't make a drastic rectification, pull out some things, and get rid of moths, then the country will perish and the country will be defeated. But how can we get rid of this decay? Blindly suppressed? Can it help? β
Xie Mo pursed his lips and was silent.
Qin Yu shook his head, "Suppression and suppression were the policies of the emperor's grandfather, and by the time of my father's generation, it was no longer controllable. Some people, some things, can't wait. Now my father is old, and he is in the advanced stage of illness, and he is powerless. When the words fell, he said, "When it comes to me, I am only the crown prince now, and I have never succeeded to the throne, and it can be said that I am one step away from the country, or it can be said that I am ten thousand steps away." β
Xie Mohan nodded.
"My idea is to let all those dark things come out, and if it doesn't work, it will be a good thing." Qin Yuyun said lightly.
Xie Mo was stunned, silent for a moment, and bowed his head, "The prince said very much, since he has threatened the country and cannot control it, it is better to get rid of it." If you want to get rid of it, you should leave no room for it. β
"So, maybe I won't be able to set foot in Lin'an City in this life, and I will die here. So, life is so short, who can guarantee who dies and who lives? Since Fanghua and Qin Zheng are not husband and wife, I want to think about Fanghua, why not? Qin Yu's voice turned back, "Maybe we are destined to be husband and wife." β
Xie Mohan looked at Qin Yu speechless for a while.
Qin Yu suddenly smiled mysteriously at him, "Brother Zigui, do you know that Master Puyun of the Fafo Temple once gave me and Qin Zheng an order, and once had a game of hexagrams?" β
Xie Mo was puzzled, "What is a hexagram?" β
"It's that after he approved the order, he made up another hexagram." Qin Yu said with a smile, "At that time, Qin Zheng left in anger. You know his temperament, he doesn't like people who are Buddhas and Taoists, although he believes in this hexagram, but he doesn't buy the accounts of those who tell the hexagrams. I stayed and asked Master Puyun to make up another hexagram. β
"I haven't heard of it." Xie Mo was surprised.
"Because this hexagram is only known to me and Puyun, naturally others have never heard of it, and it has not been spread out, so naturally you have never heard of it." Qin Yu looked at him, "The hexagram after the hexagram says, the lord of Fengluan, the daughter of the Xie family." β
