Dugu Jialuo put away the ridicule, took out a booklet, and said, "I asked the girls to secretly write down all the officials' words and tell me one by one." After analysis and processing, I screened out several important situations: first, Yuwen Hu's fourth son, Yuwenzhi, crossed the city on a horse thirteen days ago, trampled one person to death, and seriously injured two people. Second, the eldest son of the Luo Association, Luo Jin, collected the rent of 1,000 households in Shuzhong, concealed 30% and did not report it to the imperial court, and secretly bribed Yuwen to protect ......"

"Humph!" Before Dugu Jialuo's words were finished, Yuwen Yong couldn't help it, and there was anger on his face, "Yuwen Hu's sons and subordinates are really becoming more and more rampant, disregarding people's lives and oppressing the people. What is human life in their eyes, what is the people! ”

After Yuwen Yong calmed down, Dugu Jialuo continued: "Third, Yuwen Hu, together with He Lanxiang and Wei Chigang, plan to dig canals in Puzhou and Tongzhou, increase farmland, and waive half of the rent to reduce the burden on the people, which has been implemented since the day before yesterday; Fourth, Yu Xin, a former minister of Liang, had a correspondence with Mao Xi, a scholar of Chen Guozhong, and according to the content of their letters, this year, there may be a visit by Chen Guo's envoys. ”

As soon as I heard Chen Guo, my heart trembled, and Yu Wenyong saw that I was unnatural, and there was a hint of softness on his cold face, "Don't worry, they don't know your whereabouts, so the target of their trip is not you." ”

I felt a little relieved, and then I heard Dugu Jialuo say: "Yuwen Hu has also done a practical thing, but what is the purpose of Chen Guo's envoy's visit?" ”

Yu Wenyong groaned: "Maybe it's to find out the national strength of my Great Zhou." ”

After the report, Dugu Jialuo handed the pamphlet to Yuwen Yong's case, Yu Wenyong looked at it for a while, his face was like a deep lake, and he said calmly: "Although what Yuwen Hu's son and subordinates do is shameful, they do it, in fact, it is beneficial to us." The more they go too far, the easier it is to arouse public anger and lose the hearts of the people, and it will be easier for us to clean up Yuwen Hu and his henchmen in the future. ”

Listening to Yu Wenyong's sober analysis of the pros and cons under anger, I know that he will be a monarch with great achievements in the future.

"How do you plan to report to Yuwen Wu after you go back this time?" Yu Wenyong asked me.

There was some cunning in my eyes, "Three points true and seven points false." Truth and falsehood will make people unable to believe all and cannot disbelieve, and it is easy to go around to a dead end. I would tell him that Yu Gongzi and His Majesty are both music addicts, appreciate each other, and are confidants, and the two of them met only to discuss music scores and instruments. Because the legendary Jade Gongzi is a woman, women are the most likely to attract criticism, especially a famous woman is more likely to attract slander. She didn't want to reveal the woman's identity, so each meeting was just a one-on-one meeting. ”

Dugu Jialuo was puzzled, "Why did you tell him the identity of the Jade Prince's woman?" ”

There was a sharp smile between my eyebrows, like an ice blade, "Because men subconsciously look down on women, thinking that even if women have great ability, they can't make any waves." Because they are women, they will let their guard down and look elsewhere. But they don't know that sometimes, the most terrible thing is often the woman they despise. ”

"Well said, what's wrong with women, women can turn the world upside down and stir up the storm!" Dugu Jialuo replied to me passionately, with a pride on his face.

Yu Wenyong looked at me with a complicated face, raised his head and sighed: "Hearing you say this, I won't dare to provoke you in the future." ”

"In fact, most of the terrible things about women are forced out by men." I didn't feel a little distracted, "If it's not that men are too cruel and force women to have no way out, why do we need to erect thorns all over our bodies to protect ourselves, and who likes to be covered with spikes?" ”

"Cruel men, including me?"

Yuwen Yong's faint voice pulled me back to my senses, looking at Yu Wenyong's inquiring eyes, I lowered my eyes slightly and said, "Qingqiang doesn't dare to say anything." Your Majesty is the king of a country, so naturally everything you do is right. ”

"Don't shy away, I know you must be scolding me for being cruel in your heart. But if it's not cruel, how can you afford this country. Yu Wenyong's voice actually carried a trace of bitterness.

For a while, time froze like snow, and the house was quiet.

"Otsuka Zai, Qingqiang has already visited Liuxue Fang, and His Majesty's meeting with Jade Gongzi is mostly talking about music, and nothing else. The reason why they met separately was because Yu Gongzi was not a man, but a young woman. She and Her Majesty are both people who are obsessed with music, and they cherish each other and are each other's confidants. and unwilling to reveal the identity of a woman, showing up as a woman is the easiest to attract criticism. If it is known that the famous and well-known Jade Gongzi is actually a woman, I am afraid that rumors will follow, so she will only meet His Majesty alone. ”

"I see." Yuwen Hu's brows furrowed slightly, "I didn't expect that the famous Jade Gongzi was actually a woman." ”

In order to reassure him, I pretended to be cautious and said, "Qingqiang will continue to keep an eye on them, and if there is anything abnormal, Qingqiang will immediately report to Otsuka Zai." ”

Yuwen Hu smiled: "You are so rigorous in doing things, the widow didn't misunderstand you!" ”

After reporting to Yuwengo, I went to the bamboo house. As soon as I saw Mo Ziwei, I heard that the person he had found for me to treat the illness had rushed to Chang'an, and he was now temporarily living in Yijian Pavilion, and he said that he was going to take me to Yijian Pavilion to visit the doctor.

I couldn't help but be surprised to see a person in the room who was about forty years old, with a scar on his head, a kind face, wearing a blue and black monk's robe, monk's socks and shoes, just like a monk's dress.

Seeing my surprised look, Mo Ziwu smiled and said, "Qingqiang, this is Master Huiyuan, he is a famous monk, who has been preaching and preaching everywhere to promote Buddhism. In addition to being a world-famous monk, he is also a doctor with superb medical skills, but his Buddhist name is too prosperous to bury his medical skills. The world only knows that his Dharma is profound, but few people know that Master Huiyuan's medical skills are also profound. ”

Master Huiyuan? I stared at the person in front of me for a moment, and the shock in my heart was indescribable, was it him, was it the person Xiao Liang said?

Mo Zi said worriedly: "Master, I invited you here this time to ask you to heal Qingqiang. Qingqiang has been poisoned, please save her life. ”

"Female donor, please reach out and let the poor monk probe your pulse."

Master Huiyuan's deep and powerful voice woke me up from my trance, and I stretched out my hand to watch this master with a slightly vicissitudes of life and a calm gaze take my pulse. His eyebrows were first furled, then he let go of my hand, and said after a while: "Among the female benefactors is 'lovesickness without solution', few people in this world know about this poison, and there are even fewer who can cure this poison." The poor monk was fortunate enough to see this poison in his early years, and he bothered to develop a way to detoxify and save the poisoned people at that time. ”

Mo Zi couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said, "So, Qingqiang is saved?" ”

Master Huiyuan said: "This poison needs to be refined into an antidote from a variety of rare medicinal materials such as licorice, seven-leaf flower, dried toad skin, sophora seed, grass coral, pulsatilla, nine-dead soul revival grass, and pearls under the sea. These medicinal materials are very difficult to find, and the others are fine, except for the two flavored medicines of the Nine Dead Soul Grass and the Pearl under the Sea, which cannot be found in the pharmacy at all. The Nine Dead Resurrection Grass grows in the stone crevices of the steep cliffs, and the pearls on the bottom of the sea are hidden at the bottom of the sea, and if you want to get these two medicines, it is dangerous and dangerous, and it is very likely to die, and the medicine store cannot afford to supply these medicinal materials. ”

Hearing him say this, the little hope that had just been ignited was suddenly extinguished by a basin of cold water, and my heart was half cold, Mo Ziwu still did not give up, and said: "Didn't the master save a person, since he can save it, it means that this method is feasible." ”

Master Huiyuan sighed, "But do you know how he was rescued?" In order to save him, his relatives ventured up the cliff to collect medicine, and the other went to Lingnan Hepu for pearl diving. As a result, one unfortunately fell off a cliff and clutched the herb before he died; One was bitten and poisoned by a jellyfish, and as soon as he came ashore, he choked his breath and both died. The medicine was brought back, and the person was saved, but he lived himself, but his relatives were gone, and life was better than death, what is the difference between it and the walking dead. ”

Mo Ziwu's clear eyes gradually dimmed, and I became more and more frightened when I listened, and I forcibly endured the uneasy beating in my heart, and said: "Since this medicinal material is so difficult to find, then forget it, everyone has a life." Thank you, Master, for coming to treat me. ”

Master Huiyuan's face was ashamed, "In the end, the poor monk didn't help much." ”

I smiled encouragingly, "The master can take time out of his busy schedule to come, and Qingqiang is already grateful." Since this method does not work, then find another way, whether you can save my life, it all depends on chance. ”

Master Huiyuan said: "The female benefactor is open-minded, and the poor monk admires it. ”

"Qingqiang took the liberty of asking, does the master know an old man surnamed Zuo?" I was reminded of another important thing, the Temptation.

"Among the people known by the poor monks, there is only one Zuo Qing with the surname Zuo, I don't know who the female benefactor refers to?"

Sure enough, it was him, and I had a lot of thoughts in my heart, and said, "Zuo Qing is my master." ”

Master Huiyuan's indifferent face was shocked, "The female benefactor is actually Brother Zuo's apprentice!" Counting up, the poor monk hasn't seen Brother Zuo for five years, and I don't know if he's okay all these years. ”

My heart sank, and I couldn't help but feel sad, and said, "Master, I passed away three years ago. ”

Astonishment and sadness were intertwined with Master Huiyuan's face, "I didn't expect that when I said goodbye, it would be an eternal secret." ”

"When Master was dying, he asked me to come to Master Huiyuan. Qingqiang was worried about not knowing where to find the master, but I never thought that it was Zi Worry who brought the master to me. ”

Mo Ziwu was also stunned, and after a while, he said: "I didn't expect that there would be such an opportunity between you and the master. ”

Master Huiyuan's deep voice carried a hint of grief, "Since Brother Zuo asked you to come to find a poor monk, you must have something important to entrust, so you can say it." ”

I turned to Mo Zi and said, "Zi Wei, I want to explain Master's last words, can you let me stay alone with Master for a while." ”

Mo Zi worried, walked out of the room, and closed the door. After making sure that Mo Ziwei was far away, I walked to the window, looked around, closed the window, took out a dagger from my sleeve, cut it on the boots, took out a green jade wrench with uniform color from the white sandwich of the boots, and brought it to Zuo Qing, and said with a solemn face: "Master wants me to give this to the master." ”

Master Huiyuan took the wrench and sighed: "This is the relic of the poor monk's parents when he was young, and it is also the exchange token of the poor monk and his brother Zuo becoming close friends. Five years ago, he handed over an extremely important thing to the poor monk for his safekeeping, and used this wrench as a token, and when someone came to the poor monk with the wrench, the poor monk could hand it over. The poor monk traveled all over the world and promoted Buddhism, so it was naturally inconvenient to carry things with him, so he locked it in a box and buried it in the back mountain of the Yecheng temple. ”

Master Huiyuan took out a key, handed it to me, and said, "This is the key to the box, there is only one, don't lose it." When you have time in the coming day, go and take the box out. ”

"The box is buried in ......," Master Huiyuan attached to my ear and whispered the exact location.

The news of Master's death obviously hit Master Huiyuan very hard, and after handing over the key to me, he locked himself in the door of his room, saying that he wanted to meditate and chant for Master. I couldn't bear to disturb him, so I came out.
