Taking Lord Cao away, Ling Feng sneaked into the house quietly, looked at the water tank in the corner, and didn't dare to startle the snakes, and was afraid that the villagers would die by drinking water, so he really didn't know what to do.

Just thinking about it, Ling Feng still felt that it was better to tell the villagers first, so as not to let someone drink the poisonous water by mistake, Ling Feng tiptoed into the house: "Old man, I am the secret guard next to the fourth prince, we have seen it." ”

The old man was taken aback, and after a closer look, it was really the people next to the four princes, and he hurriedly knelt down: "See His Royal Highness the Four Princes." ”

Ling Feng quietly approached, close to the old man's ear, and whispered: "Master Cao poisoned the water tank, don't drink the water in the tank again!" ”

The old man was even more panicked and frightened: "Yes, yes." ”

Only then did Ling Feng put his mind at ease: "Old man, your subordinates still have to report this matter to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, you must not drink water!" ”

The old man was shocked, but he was still at ease: "Don't worry, thank you for saving your life." ”

"You're welcome." Only then did Ling Feng relax and fly away along the window, very neatly.

Running all the way, after not doing much time, Ling Feng had already returned to the mansion of the four princes, saw the four princes in a hurry, and saluted with his fists: "My subordinates see His Royal Highness the Four Princes." ”

Tuoba Zeyan was even more surprised when he saw Ling Feng coming: "Ling Feng, didn't this king ask you to guard those villagers?" How did you get back? ”

Ling Feng clasped his fists and saluted: "His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, Lord Cao poisoned the water tank, and his subordinates saw it with their own eyes, and his subordinates have told the villagers about it, so they are in a hurry to come and report to His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

Tuoba Zeyan was also taken aback, his eyes widened, and he stared at Ling Feng in front of him: "Is this true? ”

Ling Feng was respectful: "It's true. ”

Tuoba Zeyan was extremely nervous, and his heart became entangled: "Ling Feng, this king orders you to protect the sick villagers closely, never leave an inch, and never let the villagers be harmed in the slightest." ”

Ling Feng clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

Tuoba Zeyan was a little relieved, this matter is urgent, and it is necessary to enter the palace immediately to report to the emperor in order to cure it, Tuoba Zeyan did not think twice, and hurriedly ordered his subordinates: "Come on!" Prepare the car! ”

The subordinates did not dare to slack off: "Yes, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." ”

Tuoba Zeyan sat in the carriage in a panic, his heart was still anxious, and his brows were worried: "Hurry up, hurry up!" ”

"Yes, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." As soon as the words fell, he raised his horsewhip again and slapped it fiercely on the horse's back: "Ride the ......" quickly whipped the horse and drove towards the palace quickly.

Tuoba Zeyan hurriedly came to the palace, outside the door of the imperial study, Tuoba Zeyan bowed his hand: "Father-in-law, I am tired of reporting to my father, and this king has something important to ask to see." ”

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, wait a while, and the old slave will go to report to the emperor." After speaking, he walked into the house and knelt on the ground and saluted: "Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness the Fourth Prince asks to see you." ”

The emperor was looking at the song, and when he heard the words, he threw it down: "What is he doing here?" ”

"The slave doesn't know, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince seems to be in a hurry."

"Let him in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Tuoba Zeyan strode into the imperial study, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The son of the emperor sees his father." ”

The emperor was very satisfied, lowered his eyes and stared at Tuoba Ze in front of him, "No need to be polite, get up quickly!" ”

Tuoba Zeyan was still very respectful: "Thank you to your father." With that, he stood up.

Before the emperor could speak, Tuoba Zeyan couldn't wait, he was very anxious, and bowed again: "Enlighten your father, Lord Cao deliberately murdered the villagers in the west of the city, and asked your father to call the shots." ”

The emperor was also slightly surprised, and stared at Tuoba Zeyan with lowered eyes: "Cheng'er, do you know what you're talking about?" Framing an official of the court is a great crime of disrespect! ”

Tuoba Zeyan was very anxious, and his brows were tightly locked: "Father, the son has never said half a lie, and I ask my father to believe it." Those villagers in the west of the city have not been infected with any plague, just a general disease, just because there is no silver to cure, so that they died, those people isolated by Lord Cao are not plagues, these days, Erchen often goes to send medicine, has improved a lot, Lord Cao is afraid that Erchen will cure them, secretly poisoned, is Erchen saw with his own eyes, and asked his father to think about the people in the west of the city, to see in person. ”

When the emperor heard this, he couldn't help but be nervous, his brows were tangled, he thought for a moment, and glanced at Tuoba Zeyan in front of him: "Are you serious?" ”

Tuoba Zeyan was very sincere, and bowed: "Back to my father, this matter is true, and the sons and daughters have no lies!" Please also ask my father to go to the west of the city to see it in person! There are evil officials like Lord Cao who are doing evil, and the people of the world are in dire straits! Please also ask your father to be merciful and make decisions for the people! ”

The emperor cares about the people of Limin, and when such a thing happens, he has to pay attention to it, think about it for a while, and relax a little: "Okay, the plague in the west of the city has been a long time, and I haven't seen it yet, so I'm free today, just go and see!" Cheng'er, you go with me! ”

Tuoba Zeyan was very excited, and clasped his fists and saluted: "Yes, father!" ”

The emperor ordered people to prepare properly, so he took Tuoba Zeyan, covered people's eyes, and walked all the way out of the palace and towards the west of the city.

Tuoba Zeyan rode in the same car with the emperor and told the emperor the truth about the matter, and the emperor couldn't help but shout angrily, and his heart was very displeased.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and after a short time, it had already come to the west of the city, Tuoba Zeyan helped the emperor get out of the car, walked all the way forward, and came to the villagers' houses, the emperor was a little unbearable for a while, and frowned slightly: "Imperial doctor, take the pulse!" ”

Several imperial doctors hurriedly stepped forward, and they didn't care about the mess, and carefully checked the pulse of the villagers, and the two imperial doctors looked a little wrong, and after a while, they bowed together: "Return to the emperor, the fourth prince, these villagers are not infected with the plague at all!" ”

When the villagers heard this, they were very panicked and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed: "The grass people knock to see the emperor!" ”

However, the emperor was already furious: "Someone! Go and arrest Cao Shangshu! ”

The guards clasped their fists and saluted: "Yes, Your Majesty." With that, he strode away.

The emperor was still angry, and glanced coldly at the imperial doctor on the side: "Which imperial doctor came with Cao Shangshu last time?" ”

The imperial doctor was very nervous, knelt on the ground and saluted: "Back to the emperor, it's Imperial Doctor Zhang and Imperial Doctor Rao!" ”

"Bring it on!" The emperor was furious, his dark eyes were very sharp, and between his eyebrows, he had condensed into the word "Sichuan".

The guards took Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Rao and strode over: "Return to the emperor, Imperial Physician Zhang and Imperial Physician Rao will bring it!" ”

The emperor lowered his eyes and stared at the two imperial doctors in front of him, and was furious: "Imperial Doctor Zhang, Imperial Doctor Rao, how did you confirm that these villagers were infected with the plague?" "The emperor is condescending, as if it is true, and those sharp eyes exude the majesty of the emperor, which makes people shudder.

The two imperial doctors were so frightened that they trembled: "The emperor forgives the sins, the emperor forgives the sins, yes, it's Cao Shangshu, let me wait to say that the villagers are infected with the plague!" ”

The emperor was even more furious: "How can this be true! A bunch of rubbish! The plague is a big event, and you dare to say it, but fortunately, the four princes turned the tide so that it would not cause a catastrophe, you two, you can't kill it! ”

The two imperial doctors were even more nervous, and hurriedly kowtowed: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life......"

The emperor snorted coldly and commanded sharply: "Take it down!" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The guards were still respectful, dragging the imperial doctor and leaving quickly.

Tuoba Zeyan stood beside the emperor, very satisfied, and took this opportunity to take Cao Shangshu in one fell swoop, it couldn't be better: "Father and Emperor are angry, Lord Cao is doing evil, and the sons and ministers are all in their eyes, and today I really can't swallow this breath, so I dare to show my father, father, and sons to see Cao Shangshu poisoned in the water tank, and the emperor let the imperial doctor know it." ”

The emperor was still full of displeasure, and glanced at the imperial doctor on the side: "Go and test!" ”

The imperial physician was respectful and bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty." With that, he strode away.

The emperor also walked into the house together, only to see the imperial physician take a small bowl of water in the water tank, and test the poison with a silver needle, the silver needle just touched the water, and it was immediately pitch black, the imperial physician was startled, and hurriedly bowed his hand: "Your Majesty, this water is highly poisonous." ”

The emperor was even more furious: "How can this be true! Outrageous! Deceive the subordinates and deceive the superiors, and murder people's lives! Sins are unforgivable! ”

After a while, the guards pressed Cao Shangshu to come to the farmhouse, and before Cao Shangshu knew what was happening, he saw the emperor standing in front of him, panicked, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "The old minister sees the emperor!" ”

The emperor was already furious: "Lord Cao, are you thirsty? ”

Cao Shangshu was even more nervous, trembling all over: "Back to the emperor, the old minister is not thirsty." ”

The emperor was even more furious, and the guards on the side took out a bowl of water directly from the water tank, and the emperor commanded sharply: "Lord Cao, drink it!" ”

Cao Shangshu was even more panicked: "The old minister is not thirsty, the old minister is not thirsty, the emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life......" Cao Shangshu clearly knew that this water was poisonous, and he didn't dare to drink it, so he had to expose himself, and he was very nervous.

Emperor Long Yan was furious, and threw down the small bowl in his hand: "Do you still know how to spare your life?" Have you ever thought about the lives of these ordinary people? They are my people, too! ”

Lord Cao panicked: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life......" knelt on the ground, kowtowed and saluted, very nervous.

Tuoba Zeyan stood beside the emperor and bowed again: "Your Majesty, Lord Cao must have some ulterior motive in doing this." ”

The emperor was even more displeased, and his dark eyes stared at Lord Cao in front of him: "Say, what is your purpose?" ”

Lord Cao was very panicked: "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince is spewing blood!" Your Majesty, the old minister has no purpose, and please believe it. ”

The emperor was even more displeased, frowning slightly: "Honest and untrustworthy!" If you say that, will I believe it? Don't recruit from the truth! I call the Punishment Division of Nine Nine Eighty-One Punishments to serve! The emperor's face was tense and angry, and it was only at this moment that it dawned on him that what these ministers were doing was far more despicable than he had imagined.

Lord Cao knelt on the ground, his face full of panic: "The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life!" Weichen has no purpose, and asks the emperor to spare his life! ”
