Chapter 120: Framed in the Dark
At this moment, Mu Qiyan, the owner of the Surprise Smoke Building, had already led people to gallop for a few days, running all the way, and finally arrived in Jinling City.
Tuoba Zeyan stopped and glanced at the guards on the side: "Why are you so panicked, what kind of system is it?" ”
The guard clasped his fists and saluted: "Son-in-law, the landlord is visiting and is waiting in the lobby." ”
Tuoba Zeyan was very surprised, and panicked for a while: "Quickly bring this king over!" ”
The guard was still respectful: "Yes! After speaking, he took Tuoba Zeyan towards the lobby.
In the lobby, Mu Jingyan was sitting in the lobby, just drinking a cup of tea, waiting for Tuoba Zeyan.
After a while, Tuoba Zeyan had already come to the lobby, and he saw Mu Yuyan from a distance, and he was very happy, and suddenly smiled and stepped forward: "Auntie! ”
Mu Yiyan also stood up, and when he saw Tuoba Zeyan, he was very excited: "Cheng'er! ”
Tuoba Zeyan strode over and sat next to Mu Jingyan: "I originally planned to send someone to pick up my aunt, but I never thought that my aunt would come so soon." ”
Mu Ningyan had a spring breeze on his face: "What to answer, it's all familiar roads, Cheng'er, can you get the antidote?" ”
"I got it, and it has been detoxified, but there is still some residual poison in the body, which is not in the way."
Mu Yuyan was very excited, staring at Tuoba Zeyan in front of him, and was very nervous in his heart: "That's good, that's good, my aunt will rest assured." ”
Tuoba Zeyan was also very excited, his eyes were burning, and he stared at Mu Yuyan in front of him: "Auntie has been running all the way, it's really hard, Cheng'er will send my aunt to rest." ”
Cao Shangshu panicked for a while, but he also understood what the queen meant, so he had no choice but to bow his hand: "Don't worry, the queen can rest assured, Weichen will definitely do it!" ”
The queen also put her mind at ease and was very satisfied: "Lord Cao, this palace has always valued you very much, and the eldest prince should also have a humerus minister to assist, this palace is very optimistic about Lord Cao, Lord Cao will do things well, and the benefits of Lord Cao will be indispensable in the future!" ”
Lord Cao was even more satisfied, and bowed: "Thank you, Queen Mother!" After speaking, he slowly retreated, a little melancholy in his heart, still frowning slightly, full of thoughts.
Lord Cao returned to the house, sat alone in the lobby, took a sip of tea, and had a great headache.
Early the next morning, Tuoba Zeyan and Liu Mengyan still went to the alley west of the city with the medicine jar as usual, and at this time, Lord Cao was already waiting for Tuoba Zeyan in the alley in the west of the city.
After a long time, Tuoba Zeyan's carriage and horse had slowly arrived, Tuoba Zeyan helped Liu Mengyan get out of the car, and then, Lord Cao hurriedly came and bowed: "The old minister sees His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”
Tuoba Zeyan was helping Liu Mengyan, and the two walked forward slowly: "Lord Cao doesn't have to be so polite, please get up quickly!" ”
"Wechen, thank you, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." After saying that, he stood up.
Tuoba Zeyan glanced at Lord Cao in front of him, only to feel that he was uneasy and kind, and slightly disdainful: "I haven't seen Lord Cao for a few days, why is Lord Cao here today?" ”
Lord Cao is still very respectful: "Let His Royal Highness the Four Princes smile, the old minister is busy with affairs in the court, and he has not come to visit the villagers who are infected with the plague, it is the old minister's negligence, please forgive His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" ”
Tuoba Zeyan was even more disdainful, and snorted lightly: "Monarch, the people!" The people, the king! Lord Cao is so negligent, it is really unheard of and unseen by this king! ”
Lord Cao was ashamed for a while, he was speechless, frowned, and hurriedly saluted: "Yes, yes, it is all the fault of the old minister, and I ask His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince to forgive me." ”
Tuoba Zeyan snorted lightly, and was even more disdainful: "Lord Cao doesn't need to apologize to this king, it is the sick villagers in the house who should apologize!" ”
Lord Cao was even more stunned, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Yes, what His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said is very true, the old minister lost his words, and asked His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Haihan." ”
Liu Mengyan stood beside Tuoba Zeyan, she had never seen Tuoba Zeyan so eloquent, and she was very proud in her heart: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, if you delay it any longer, the medicine will be cold!" ”
Tuoba Zeyan came back to his senses at this time, glanced at Liu Mengyan beside him, and smiled lightly: "Also, it's important to send medicine to save your life, Lord Cao, this king is out of company first!" As soon as the words fell, he took Liu Mengyan with him and strode away, without taking Tuoba Zeyan in his eyes at all.
Lord Cao glanced coldly at the backs of the two leaving, and was very unhappy in his heart, adding a little hatred, and the anger in his heart was also burning, very unhappy.
Liu Mengyan was full of joy, and her steps became more and more brisk, and after a short time, she had already come to the house, and she was very happy to see the sick villagers.
"Miss Rong is here? The grass people see Miss Rong, see His Royal Highness the Four Princes! As soon as they saw Liu Mengyan coming, the villagers were very excited, shouting for a while, very excited.
Liu Mengyan walked slowly: "Villagers don't have to be so polite, it is the responsibility of doctors to help the world and save people, and everyone doesn't have to be so polite." As she spoke, Liu Mengyan picked up the medicine jar and distributed the decoction to the villagers.
Tuoba Zeyan also went up to help, he was very happy, and handed the pill in his hand to an old man: "Old man, how is your health?" ”
The old man was very happy and very excited: "Thank you for the life-saving grace of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, thank you for the life-saving grace of His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince!" The old man bowed and bowed, and he was very moved.
Tuoba Zeyan hurriedly helped the old man up: "Old man, old man don't have to be polite, get up quickly." As he spoke, he went to pick up the old man.
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Fourth Prince."
Tuoba Zeyan saw the old man drink the decoction, and then he put his mind at ease: "Old man, how do you feel about your body?" ”
The old man was very excited: "Back to the words of the fourth prince, the grass people are much better, and only His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince and Miss Rong are thinking about us, the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the grass people thank His Royal Highness the Four Princes." ”
Tuoba Zeyan hurriedly shook his head: "The old man doesn't have to be so polite, it's all what this king should do, can the old man tell this king, how did you get sick?" And the villagers who died a few days ago, what the hell happened? ”
The old man was very excited, and said seriously: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't know, a few days ago, many people in our village were infected with diseases, just because they had no money for treatment, and they were sick for a long time. As he spoke, the old man was even more excited, hiding his face and sobbing.
When Tuoba Ze heard this, he was furious in his heart: "This group of evil officials! Outrageous! This king will not spare him! Between his eyebrows, there were already several clouds of anger, and he was furious.
The old man was even more excited, and at this moment, the villagers who had drunk the medicine were also gathered together, and they were moved to see that the four princes were so considerate of the people: "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, thank you, Your Royal Highness." ”
Tuoba Zeyan also put his mind at ease and comforted many villagers: "You don't have to be so polite, it's the king's negligence that failed to take care of you!" ”
Several old men were even more moved: "Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, don't say that." ”
After chatting with the villagers for a long time, Tuoba Zeyan had a rough understanding of the cause and effect of the matter, and then said goodbye to the villagers and took Liu Mengyan away.
Lord Cao has been guarding outside the house, listening attentively to the conversation between Tuoba Zeyan and the villagers, and becoming more and more jealous of Tuoba Zeyan, it seems that this time he has to follow the queen's will to let those villagers be infected with the plague, so thinking about it, Lord Cao is still a little nervous in his heart.
Tuoba Zeyan and Liu Mengyan walked out of the door, and Lord Cao hurriedly walked over and bowed: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has sent medicine today?" ”
Tuoba Zeyan nodded lightly, very satisfied: "It's been sent, these villagers still have to bother Lord Cao!" ”
Lord Cao hurriedly saluted: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is polite. ”
Tuoba Zeyan glanced at Lord Cao coldly, and was very disdainful in his heart: "Since this is the case, this king will leave first." ”
"The old minister sends off His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince."
Tuoba Zeyan strode away, took Liu Mengyan, walked out of the door, came to a place where no one was around, and hurriedly ordered: "Ling Feng, you stay here, be sure to protect the villagers in the house!" ”
Ling Feng clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." As soon as he finished speaking, he was gone.
Liu Mengyan turned around and glanced at Tuoba Zeyan: "Tuoba Zeyan thinks those villagers are in danger?" ”
Tuoba Zeyan nodded lightly, very sincerely: "Today, Cao Shangshu personally came to guard, I am afraid that something big will happen, and this king is a little uneasy in his heart." ”
Liu Mengyan was also a little uneasy when she thought about it like this, and she couldn't help but be nervous in her heart: "The prince is thoughtful, with Ling Feng here, nothing will happen." ”
Tuoba Zeyan also calmed down and nodded lightly: "That's right, let's go, so as not to startle the snake!" ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, then strode away, took the carriage, and returned to the Four Kings' Mansion.
At this moment, in the farmhouse in the west of the city, the guards strode over, saw Lord Cao, and saluted with fists: "Qi Qi Lord Cao, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince has left." ”
Master Cao was very satisfied, and nodded slightly, with a slight hint of cunning in his dark eyes: "Can you see clearly?" The four princes, as well as the girl Rong in his house, have all left? ”
The guards were even more respectful: "Back to Lord Cao's words, my subordinates saw with their own eyes that the four princes, Miss Rong and everyone in the mansion all left. ”
Master Cao was relieved and very satisfied: "This is very good, you go down!" ”
The guard clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes, sir." After speaking, he quickly retreated, not daring to slack off at all.
Lord Cao came to the farmhouse in the west of the city today, just waiting for this moment, as long as the four princes left, take the opportunity to poison the villagers, and unknowingly, you can push this matter to the head of the four princes, Lord Cao thought a little, then strode towards the house, carefully poured all the poison into the water that the villagers want to drink every day, stirred carefully, until colorless and tasteless, no trace can be seen, satisfied glanced at the poisonous water in the water tank, and strode away.
At this moment, Tuoba Zeyan's secret guard Ling Feng was already lurking outside the villagers' houses, and when he saw this, he was even more surprised, if a villager got up to drink water at this time, he would definitely die of poison quietly, which was simply appalling.
