Chapter 141: The fever subsides
The corners of Meng Qiqi's mouth, who was standing at the gate of the palace, twitched.
It turned out that these people were going to sue for this, and if she knew that she should have set the price of medicine higher, so that these people would have nothing to do again!
And when the people in the palace saw the people coming clearly, they were speechless.
Isn't this the Seven Princesses?
Could it be that she knew early on that they had come here to sue the emperor, no wonder no one paid attention to them all day yesterday, and if they continued to make trouble, what would she do if she beheaded them all in a fit of anger?
The previous tragedy of Xiao Ling's family was exaggerated by someone with a heart as Meng Qiqi was jealous of the power of the goddess of heaven, so he took advantage of his unpreparedness to arrest him and killed him in prison.
Although this kind of rhetoric is very fantastical, there are some people who believe it, such as these who want to sue the emperor.
It's a pity that it's too late for them to regret it now, Meng Qiqi glanced at these people and asked, "Who is the leader, and what happened to sue the emperor?" ”
The leader was obviously afraid of Meng Qiqi, but he still gritted his teeth and stood up.
"I summoned the big guy to sue, there is a problem with the medicine you gave, I can't ignore it!"
"Are you the big man of Niujiazhuang?"
"You really investigated us all!" A hint of panic flashed in the reckless man's eyes.
But at this time, the brothers behind him were very righteous and stood up one after another, "What about investigating us, we haven't done anything wrong, can't we say that kind of medicine eats the dead?" ”
"What do you say about free distribution, what is cheap, but in the end, it is still to lie to us poor people, or Li Shusheng is right, this cheap is cheap, but there are many of us, one person earns more than ten yuan, and the whole capital can earn tens of thousands of taels combined!"
The name Li Shusheng made Meng Qiqi's eyelids jump, she motioned to Yan Fei, asked the guards behind her to check again, and then asked, "Then how many times have you met Li Shusheng, so you trust what he said?" ”
"And you only saw someone die, and no one saw her die after taking the medicine developed by the imperial doctor, why do you say that there is something wrong with this princess?"
These reckless men were stunned for a moment, relying on their brains, they only knew that seeing was believing.
When the woman died, there was an open medicine next to the body, and they decided that the medicine was poisonous, and they did not dare to take it again, let alone let the old, weak, sick and disabled women and children eat it.
But the next day, another one had a fever, and they thought they would go to the hospital on the street to have a look, but halfway through, they met Li Shusheng, and after listening to him tell many stories, they hurried into the palace the next day.
Knowing the ins and outs of the matter, Meng Qiqi only felt more headache.
The people behind this scene are really good at planning, just using a few small roles, they keep looking for trouble for her, and want to use various opportunities to ruin her reputation, but unfortunately she is afraid that there is no one in her hands at the moment, otherwise she would not use such a clumsy trick to try to ruin her reputation with these reckless people.
Seeing that these people were completely being used, and the questions they wanted to ask were finished, Meng Qiqi rubbed his temples and directly asked Cui Zhi to tell these farmers the truth they had investigated yesterday.
"The woman you saw was poisoned by eating charms, and there was cinnabar on the charms, which is not allowed to be entered, and that Li Shusheng is a famous madman in Beimin Village, who makes up stories every day and pretends to be a teacher to trick children into playing, and you are all deceived."
Knowing the truth, the people in the side hall were motionless, and they were all dumbfounded.
They were poured a basin of cold water in their faces, but Niu Dazhuang, who was the leader, still refused to believe it.
"Don't talk nonsense, the court is used to deceiving people, how can everything be so coincidental, but we encountered it, this must be made up by you to coax us, you are liars!"
Meng Qiqi saw that the reckless man's eyes were red, and she felt a little uncomfortable, but she was even more angry about the people who fooled these farmers to slander her.
Not knowing how to explain the matter to them, Meng Qiqi simply shrank to the side and said to Yanfei: "I'm not good at explaining this kind of thing, so I'll leave it to you." ”
"They seem to be physically strong, and it would be good if they repented and could one day defend their families and country."
After speaking, Meng Qiqi left.
She didn't say this to Yan Fei for no reason, in fact, she had seen Niu Dazhuang before, and she originally planned to interrogate her, thinking of finding some more people behind the scenes.
can see Niu Dazhuang, and finally decided to solve this farce as soon as possible.
She remembered that when the gate of the capital was broken in the previous life, she stood aside in a daze, stupidly watching the rebels come in, and when someone wanted to be unfavorable to her, it was Niu Dazhuang who pushed her away to keep her from being harassed.
Although it was impossible for those rebels to do anything to her because of Li Jing's relationship, only Niu Dazhuang remembered that she was once the princess of Meng, and the other people had long regarded her as a transparent person and didn't care about her situation at all.
Thinking of the events of his previous life, Meng Qiqi began to feel anxious again, and the sudden fever disrupted many plans.
She didn't have time to pay attention to Jiang Ningning, nor did she have time to prepare for the marriage between Su Ruomeng and Brother Yan, let alone find out the forces entrenched in the capital that did not belong to the Meng Kingdom.
But it's useless to think about this, things still have to be done one by one, cheer up again, Meng Qiqi raised his feet and walked to the imperial study.
No matter what you want to do, the most important thing now is to let your father increase the imperial examination, look at what kind of people Prime Minister Jiang Cheng has selected to control the government, there are not many people who are really useful to contribute to such a big thing, how can it be good if it goes on like this!
went to mention the matter of adding the imperial examination to the emperor again, and Meng Qiqi returned to his dormitory.
After a busy day, she fell asleep, obviously physically and mentally exhausted.
Fortunately, I received good news the next day.
It is said that those people were persuaded by Yan Houye to honestly go to the Tai Hospital to get medicines, and after returning home, they really cured their families, but they were embarrassed to continue to stay in the capital, and some had already packed up their things and were ready to go back to their hometowns.
However, that Niu Dazhuang seems to have been left by Yan Fei, and it sounds like he is still a good seedling for martial arts.
A few days later, most of the people with fever took medicine, the imperial court lifted the lockdown, and families gradually began to go out.
Although the fever seemed serious, with the help of Meng Qiqi, the imperial court reacted very quickly, and the matter was resolved in less than a month.
Now the capital is full of happy scenes, and the people hiding in the shadows don't know how many handkerchiefs have been broken, but it is still useless.
Losing this opportunity, it would be even more difficult to trip over Meng Qiqi again. But the prescription for the fever was directly announced by the imperial court, and it was useless for her to use this thing again, so she had to wait for the next opportunity.
After this incident, the emperor completely figured out the problem of insufficient manpower in the imperial court, and instead of taking credit for Prime Minister Jiang's treatment of fever, he had obstructed it, and he was also a little disappointed.
So the matter of adding the imperial examination was a certainty.
No matter how many times Prime Minister Jiang Cheng said that the establishment of the imperial examination would cost the people and money, now that the fever has just subsided, and it is not appropriate to have many things to do, the emperor still made up his mind that he must share the power of the prime minister.
Meng Qiqi, who learned the news, happily came out of the palace and went to the imperial study to find the emperor, but she didn't expect to meet the minister who liked to scare her the most arrogant and arrogant, and when the other party saw her, she took a detour directly.
