Xiao Gu looked at the ants squirming slightly under his feet, a smile appeared on his lips, and the medicine bottle in his sleeve was really empty this time.

"You actually used poison ......"

Chang Mengchu used all his strength and shouted in a hissed voice: "Everyone go quickly, the people of the imperial court will be here soon!" ”

The scene was suddenly chaotic, everyone's faces changed greatly, and they were about to quickly evacuate when they retreated, and the next moment, a few familiar voices stopped them, "Everyone, don't listen to this nonsense!" ”

"Yes"

"It's them!"

The crowd buzzed in surprise - these people were unknown on the night of the fall of Wanhualou, they thought they were arrested by the imperial court, but they couldn't find out the slightest news, and now they appeared in front of them in a good manner!

"Chang Lao Si, you and your eldest brother are really wolf-hearted, this is killing us!"

Lao Wu shouted hoarsely, no longer elegant and reserved as usual.

Chang Mengchu's heart sank, but his face did not show it at all, "You are in collusion with the minions of the imperial court, do you want to betray Jin Lanhui?" ”

"You, you, it's like a thief shouting to catch a thief!"

The fifth child was so angry that he fainted, and the old ten Shangqing on the side was scheming, patted him on the shoulder, and shouted: "Everyone, you are fooled!" ”

He pointed at Chang Mengchu with his finger and said in a loud voice: "He and his eldest brother are going to oppose the imperial court, but what they are plotting, let them explain it clearly." ”

He remembered Xiao Gu's words, and shouted with palpitations: "They are trying to lead the Yangtze River to flood Jinling City!" “

Seeing everyone's surprised eyes, Shang Qing added: "If you don't believe it." You ask Brother Jiu, what are these bottles used for in the baggage they hid? ”

Everyone knows that Nie Jing is a doctor. I had almost never seen a real person before, but at this time, I saw a handsome and elegant young man come out of the crowd, fanned a little potion and sniffed lightly, and said loudly: "These are the royal water." ”

Immediately, the audience was in an uproar, some people were skeptical, some people showed anger, and Xiao Gu stared at Chang Mengchu's expression. The gaze is cold, and there is nothing to hide, "Tell me what these are for"

Qin Yao's hand pointed at his throat in response, and Chang Mengchu felt that little coldness and tingling. But he didn't want to open his mouth at all, Xiao Gu smiled slightly, and said crisply: "These are all used to corrode the river embankment, which was originally in disrepair. Use plenty of aqua regia. It will corrode quickly, and then with the guidance of their newly built dikes, the river will rush out and change direction. ”

Everyone was in an uproar, they were all trembling, although everyone was tortured enough by the imperial court, but they didn't dare to think of diverting water to destroy the entire Jingshi Jinling.

"The rest of the vials are arsenic. Probably for you. ”

Xiao Gu added fuel to the fire, which immediately aroused the anger of the audience. Everyone glared at Chang Mengchu, eager to pick him up and question.

"She's talking nonsense, it's for the artisans to eat—"

Chang Mengchu couldn't stand the slander, so he blurted out angrily, but then realized that he had been fooled, and immediately opened his mouth, and his face became iron-blue.

"Oh, I understand, it's not for everyone to eat, it's for poisoning craftsmen - you trick people into cutting off the river to divert the tide, and in the end you kill people like this!"

Xiao Gu smiled coldly, and his voice raised because of anger-

"You let your cronies corrode the river embankment, and let the coolies of the trough gang build a new embankment, they are all rough people who don't understand water conservancy, so no one sees through your plan, and you trick the rest of the Jinlan Society to transfer the defenders in the city, once the flood floods, there is no effective soldiers and horses in the city to rescue, and no one can survive at all!"

Xiao Gu's expression was cold, and his gaze at him was like a flame, "I never thought that you would be so mad!" ”

Chang Mengchu gritted his teeth and was silent, and suddenly shouted in a hissing voice: "We just want to get back everything that belongs in the middle!" ”

"What do you want back? Is it freedom, is it peace and joy, or is it the bell-ringing food and luxury that you enjoyed in the past? ”

Xiao Gu's question was extremely sharp, and he looked at Chang Mengchu's gaze with a cold sneer, "If it is Emperor Jianwen or Prince Yiwen's other descendants who ascend the throne now, you can restore the noble status of the Empress Dowager's mother's family, right?" ”

Chang Mengchu was taken aback, "How do you know?" ”

Immediately relieved, he said in a cold voice: "I forgot, you hooked up with the leader of the Jinyi Guard—"

The next moment, his voice stopped, the blade of the sword was like a ghost fire in the dark night, flashing in the darkness, neatly sinking into the flesh of his throat an inch, warm blood spilled, fresh rain and grass and trees, mixed with this fishy sweetness, made his spine cold, and he didn't dare to make a mistake again.

"If there are any more foul words, you can report to Hades."

Qin Yao, who was behind him, said in a deep voice.

"Seventh brother, are you also confused by her? Obviously, your biological parents also died at the hands of Zhu Di's traitor! ”

He hissed, and a cold and indifferent voice came from behind him, "Zhu Di should be killed, but drowning the people of the whole city with water, so cruel and vicious, what is the difference between him and him?" ”

He paused for a moment, then said in a low but firm voice, "This is also the biggest difference between us and you. ”

"It's better to say than to sing, your whole family is dead, but in my Chang family, there are many people suffering in Lingnan!"

"And you!" Chang Mengchu gritted his teeth, looked at Xiao Gu with round eyes, and said almost word by word: "I know, your father is not good to your mother and daughter, so he was stripped and hung at the gate of the palace, and you are not very sad - you are a familyless and selfish woman, you are the real vicious!" ”

He seemed to be defending himself, and even more like convincing himself, muttering: "We have also opened the secret passage in the palace, the river will pour into the palace as soon as possible, and Zhu Di's dog thief family will definitely die in front of the people, and when the time comes, we will immediately open the floodgates and release the water to save the people......"

His voice was cold and empty, and he couldn't seem to convince himself, and it became more and more difficult and lower.

"You can't help it yourself, why do you force yourself to do such a thing?"

Xiao Gu looked at him, gradually calmed down, and said in a deep voice.

Chang Mengchu's eyes were complicated and tangled, as if he wanted to explain something, but he didn't say anything after all.

But no matter what he thought, the situation here was obviously interrupted by Xiao Gu, she

His nose moved slightly, feeling the water vapor wafting from outside the temple, listening to the footsteps and slight noise of life in his ears, he nodded towards Qin Yao, this movement looked in Chang Mengchu's eyes, and he suddenly showed a surprised expression, and struggled desperately: "What do you want to do?!" ”

"It's just a matter of making the most of your money."

Qin Yao neatly folded his hands back, stopping his resistance.
