In Fengluan Mountain, Zhou Guangji was also excited to see the news brought by Da Fei. Immediately released the flying feather and notified the secret stations to render the matter.

Zhou Guangji knew that Tangtai Mingyue led the troops into Chengyang Mansion to wait for Delong's response. If Delong doesn't ask, all parts of the world will follow suit. Even if it is not to return to Duan Lang, the capital of the calendar, I am afraid that he will no longer obey the orders of the court. Once Delong forcibly divided his troops to attack Chengyang Mansion for the sake of the emperor's face, it would be the last straw that pressed the Great Xia River. When the time comes, the shrewd Mo Kun and Lu Mu will definitely not let go of such an excellent opportunity. Whether it is Prince Hong or Ma Ruzheng, they will all face the final decisive battle.

Zhou Guangji couldn't help but feel a little emotion in his heart, back then, Emperor Jian'an ordered Duan Tianya to create the Shadow Maker, in order to maintain the stability of the Great Xia country. Unexpectedly, the loyal shadow man died in Jian'an, but died at the hands of Yu Ning. The reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, I am afraid that Emperor Yuning did not expect that Duan Lang, the young master of the shadow who escaped from death, would rise again and become a sharp blade to cut off the Great Xia River.

In Chengyang Mansion, the bustling streets on weekdays have become deserted. Although the notice of Anmin had been posted, the people still did not believe that the soldiers and horses of the capital city could compete with the court. In the minds of the people, the Great Xia is an unshakable behemoth, how can it be said that it will fall.

In the palace, Liang Yi was also full of sadness. It was not that he regretted rebelling against Great Xia, but that Shangguan Xuanwu was heavily poisoned and disrupted the entire plan. Originally, Liang Yi was still full of confidence, and felt that he could also be like Jiang Zhuming and firmly control Chengyang Mansion in his own hands. Now it seems that even if the minions of the Heavenly Prison are cleared, there is still an undercurrent surging in the city.

Liang Yi, who had not slept all night, was resting in the side hall of the government hall when he was called out by Governor Zhao Peide.

"My lord, Zheng Zechang and several other well-known businessmen ask to see me, I don't know if you will see it?" Zhao Peide asked softly.

Liang Yi rubbed his reddened eyes, stretched his waist and said, "Of course, you can see that these people are the pillars of the people in the city, and they are now ancestors who cannot afford to offend." Once these people fled the city, the people would panic, and as long as they did not move, the people in the city would be at ease. Lao Zhao, let the squires wait in the guest room, and Lord Ben washed his face and sobered up. ”

"Okay, let's arrange the small ones." Zhao Peide retreated after speaking.

In the meeting room of the mansion, Zheng Zechang and six squires in the city whispered about the soldiers and horses of the capital city while sipping tea.

Zheng Zechang cautiously glanced outside the door and whispered, "I said a few brothers, I don't know if you have found out, when Lord Guan was carried away last night, his face seemed to be a little wrong." In addition, it is also a little strange that the world-famous female military master has not shown up since she entered the city. ”

Liu Shuda, a big grain merchant in the city, said, "Isn't it, I also think that Lord Shangguan is not so simple as having an upset stomach." In addition, the power of the soldiers and horses is in the hands of the female military division, and she doesn't show up, isn't she a little dissatisfied with us squires? Otherwise, let's all do something to reward the soldiers and horses of the army. ”

Liu Shuda, as a big grain merchant in the city, what he was most worried about was that Mingyue gave an order and expropriated his granary.

Wang Quanfu, the owner of the dyeing workshop, said, "I said, we should ask to see that Mingyue military master. No matter how good Lord Liang said, it would not be as good as her words to reassure everyone. As long as this military advisor personally promised not to infringe on everyone's interests, we don't have to care if they are orthodox or not. ”

"Yes, yes, what Boss Wang said is very true, when Lord Liang comes, I suggest that Boss Wang plead on behalf of everyone." Zheng Zechang hurriedly said.

Wang Quanfu, the owner of the dyeing workshop, glanced at Zheng Zechang with some surprise, being able to represent everyone shows that he is highly respected, and this honor is usually not his turn as the owner of the dyeing workshop. In terms of financial resources, Liu Shuda and Zheng Zechang are more solid than him, but I didn't expect Zheng Zechang to recommend him.

While a few people were talking, Liang Yi, who had changed his clothes, walked in. In front of these squires and businessmen, Liang Yi, as the governor of the government, still has to maintain a calm and calm demeanor.

Everyone stood up to say hello, and Liang Yi asked.

"I don't know if you're here, but what's the matter?"

Liu Shuda, a grain merchant, hurriedly said, "Lord Liang, the soldiers and horses of the capital city have come from afar, should we wait for the township party to show a little affection?" ”

"Yes, yes, what Boss Liu said is right, I think we should ask to meet that Mingyue military division. In the future, how we will pay our taxes, the military advisor should also make it clear. Wang Quanfu followed.

"See?" Liang Yi was stunned in his heart, and suddenly remembered the explanation of Lantai Mingyue.

Liang Yi pretended to be embarrassed, "Squires, didn't you say it below, the taxes are all the same." It is even said that some messy taxes should be reduced and reduced. As for asking to see the Mingyue Military Division, it's better ~ to be exempt. ”

Zheng Zechang nodded and said, "Fellow Township Parties, Lord Liang is still the boss of our Chengyang Mansion, as long as Lord Liang is here, you can rest assured." However, I also think that what Boss Liu said is reasonable, should we express it to the soldiers and horses of Lidu City. People come from afar, at least to do the friendship of the landlord. ”

Liu Shuda agreed, "Yes, we should do our best to be a landlord." Lord Liang, of course we can trust you, but since the Mingyue Military Division has arrived in our mansion city, you have to let me wait to express my heart. ”

Liu Shuda is not like other businessmen, he is most afraid that his grain will be confiscated, or even purchased at a low price. Only when Tai Mingyue personally showed his posture could he rest assured.

Liang Yi sighed slightly, "Alas~! You don't know. ”

Speaking of this, Liang Yi deliberately looked out of the door cautiously, lowered his voice and said, "Actually~ There was an accident in our house last night. Not only was Shangguan Daren highly poisoned, but even Mingyue's military division was also conspired against. I originally wanted to ask the famous doctor in the city, Mr. An, to help Lord Shangguan, but I didn't expect that he was also kidnapped and infiltrated into the mansion with assassins. No, the entire inner house is sealed, and even I can't enter it. ”

"What? Plotted? ”

Everyone was surprised, only Zheng Zechang was secretly happy in his heart, but he also pretended to be surprised on the surface.

Liang Yi hurriedly said, "Everyone, this matter must not be spread out, at present, the Doctor is currently treating, and it must not cause panic in the city." ”

Zheng Zechang's heart moved, and he said, "Lord Liang, Doctor An Shen has the ability to rejuvenate with wonderful hands, and it should be fine for him to come to diagnose and treat." By the way, if you catch that assassin, you must interrogate him strictly, and don't let the family blame our Chengyang Mansion, which is also very unfavorable to Lord Liang. ”

Liang Yi sighed and shook his head, "It's hard to say if I can be saved, I don't even know what the specific situation is." However, the Assassin was killed on the spot, and it is unknown who sent him. This official thinks that it should be the minions of the Heavenly Prison Academy. ”

Liu Shuda, a grain merchant, couldn't help but ask, "Lord Liang, is that military master okay?" ”

Liang Yi was slightly stunned in his heart, and a vigilance suddenly rose in his heart, "Boss Liu, the assassin did not succeed, but the short blade he brought was smeared with poison. Fortunately, it only bruised his arm, and the doctor stopped the poisonous blood from attacking the heart. As for whether it can be saved, we can only wait and see. ”

Zheng Zechang's heart trembled, this news is not a good thing, but he finally knows the situation of Tangtai Mingyue. Everyone asked some more about their own interests, and only after Liang Yi repeatedly admonished them did they leave the mansion.

As soon as Zheng Zechang and the others left, Liang Yi hurriedly went to the inner house. Doctor An and the others had not yet returned, and Mingyue was hesitating whether to inform Duan Lang of the matter.

Seeing Liang Yi coming in, Tantai Mingyue asked, "Lord Liang, you stayed up all night, why don't you go and take a rest." What, something? ”

"Master Commander, as you expected, a few squires and merchants in the city have just left the palace. Among them, a few of them specifically asked about you and Lord Shangguan. Liang Yi said quickly.

"Oh?" Yutai Mingyue perked up, "Lord Liang, you write down the list." Including the specific situation, it is best to be their original words, and do not miss a word. Among these people, it is very likely that they are related to the poisoner. ”

"I think so too, and besides, Liu Shuda, a grain merchant in the city, is the most suspicious."

"Liu Shuda? Where was he at the banquet yesterday? By the way, from the moment we enter the city, you recall this man's every move. ”

Liang Yi thought about it, repeated in detail what everyone had just said in the meeting room, and wrote the list of people on the paper.

"Master Strategist, Liang recalled that when this Liu Shuda entered the city, he was standing in the crowd of greetings. And at the banquet, he didn't sit at the same table with us. It seems that before he came to toast, Lord Shangguan ~. ”

"Lord Liang, who were among these people who had close contact with Lord Shangguan yesterday?" Yutai Mingyue looked at the list and asked.

Liang Yi thought about it carefully, "Among them, there are three people who have toasted Lord Shangguan. Wang Quanfu, the owner of the dyeing workshop, Shan Hongchuan, a cloth merchant, and Fu Jingxiao, the owner of the carriage and horse shop. By the way, there is also the tea merchant Zheng Zechang, who is his own person, the one who toasted you outside the city. I arranged this man, and I can trust him. ”

"Toast outside the city?" Yutai Mingyue's heart moved, "Lord Liang, let me analyze it first, you are tired all night, or rest and recuperate first." By the way, who is responsible for the agenda and the aftermath that was welcomed yesterday? ”

"Governor Zhao Peide, you have seen it, when you passed by the southern camp, he was the one who came to receive you."

"Oh, it's him. I haven't thanked him for taking care of me back then. Otherwise, Lord Liang will go back to rest first, and invite Governor Zhao to come over, there are some things I want to ask him. ”

"Okay, I still have some things to deal with, and I don't have time to rest now."

"Lord Liang will work hard for a few days first, and it will be easy when everything settles down." Tantai Mingyue said and politely sent Liang Yi away.

Looking at the list written by Liang Yi, Tantai Mingyue closed her eyes and pondered, all the utensils used in the banquet last night were checked with the military lang, and no toxins were found. But the toast outside the city just now suddenly reminded the bright moon of Tangtai.

After a while, Liu Xi walked in with Zhao Peide. Seeing the bright moon in Taitai, Zhao Peide hurriedly saluted.

"Governor Zhao Peide, see Master Military Division."

"Governor Zhao, don't come unharmed, please take a seat."

Yutai Mingyue politely invited Zhao Peide to his seat, "Governor Zhao, our army has entered the city, and you are in Zhang Luo before and after, and I haven't thanked you yet." ”

"Master Strategist doesn't have to be polite, this is what we should do. If there is anything else you need, just ask. ”

"Governor Zhao, when the army entered the city yesterday, how did you deal with the tributes and wine bowls on the incense table?"

After hearing this, Zhao Peide said with some embarrassment, "Don't hide it, the tributes on those incense cases and those jars of wine, I~ let the people in the house send them to my house." ”

"Then~ the wine bowl for Lord Shangguan, do you know where to put it?"

Zhao Peide was stunned for a moment, and thought about it carefully, "It seems that ~ Chef Zhang cleaned it up, and it should be brought back to the mansion." ”

When Tantai Mingyue heard this, she hurriedly said, "Liu Xi, immediately call to come over with Junlangzhong and go to the back kitchen with Governor Zhao to inquire." ”

When Liu Xi heard this, he hurriedly ran out. He has been serving Shangguan Xuanwu in the army and lives in the inner house. Liu Xi called out to the army Langzhong, and Tai Mingyue whispered a few words in Liu Xi's ear. The two followed Zhao Peide and went directly to the back kitchen.

After Zhao Peide's questioning, that Chef Zhang really remembered those wine bowls. Because the kitchen was very busy yesterday, after I came back, I still left the wine bowl and the confession in the corner, and I haven't had time to deal with it. Anyway, there is no shortage of these bowls and chopsticks in the government, and there are many of them in the warehouse.

The bright moon waited quietly, and after a while, Liu Xi returned to the inner house with the military Langzhong.

"Master Strategist, I found it, and there was poison on the side of one of the wine bowls." Sui Junlang said excitedly.

"Great, do you know what kind of poison it is?" Yutai Mingyue stood up suddenly.

"This ~ little one doesn't have the ability to do this." The soldier said bitterly.

"Okay, you go down first, Lord Shangguan, thank you for taking care of me."

"The military advisor is polite, that's what the small one should do."

As soon as he left with Jun Langzhong, Yutai Mingyue immediately ordered, "That Zheng Zechang should be the one who poisoned him." Liu Xi immediately informed General Zhang Qifeng that he sent a few capable scouts to ambush around Zheng Zechang's mansion in civilian clothes, so as not to startle the snake for the time being. ”

"Master Strategist, why don't you take it in one fell swoop?" Liu Xi asked.

"Don't worry, this person should just be a pawn. This military division will also use him as bait to lure out bigger fish. By the way, has Zhao Peide arranged it over there? ”

"Don't worry, Master Junshi, I didn't find anything in the military man, and Zhao Peide didn't see anything. My lord, do you suspect that Liang Yi has something to do with this matter? ”

Tantai Mingyue shook her head, "I was suspicious yesterday, but after some inference, Liang Yi should not have anything to do with this matter." Although this Zheng Zechang is a person that Liang Yi can trust, I think Liang Yi is likely to be used. ”

Liu Xi thought for a while, "Yes, if Liang Yi wants to harm us, the food and drink in the inner house can be poisoned at any time, so there is no need to be so troublesome." ”

"Don't make a noise about this for now, go ahead."

"No!" Liu Xi agreed, turned around and walked out.

Tantai Mingyue secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, although Zhang Ruming's poison has not yet been resolved, but as long as the person who poisoned is found, it will be difficult for the opponent to hide it. She is ready to lay a puzzle and lead the other party to take the initiative to appear.

Just in the planning of Mingyue, Xiang Tian and others protected a car and drove back to the inner house. Knowing that the mysterious bee picker had been invited, Yutai Mingyue hurried to the courtyard.

"Why is it so long?" Yutai Mingyue asked softly.

"Don't mention it, I searched for half a mountain before I found this bee picker." Xiang Tian whispered.

Doctor An looked at Tantai Mingyue, shook his head with a wry smile, and said in his heart that this is to invite someone, it is simply a bandit kidnapping.

Yutai Mingyue looked at the dirty bee picker, who was about sixty flowers, and his body still exuded a sour smell.

Tantai Mingyue looked at Doctor An and asked, "Old man An, did you tell this old man on the way?" ”

An Mingsheng nodded, "I have already told Fan Lao Qiang about the situation, but if he is willing to help, it will be difficult to say." ”

An Ming said in his heart that your people threw people into the car without asking, and this old strong man probably won't contribute.

Yutai Mingyue hummed, only to know that this bee picker's surname is Fan. Tantai Mingyue walked over and said politely, "Old man, the doctor has already told you the specific situation, and I hope that the old man will help find out the source of the poison." ”

The bee picker snorted in his nose, "I don't care who you are, let me go back quickly, the old man has no time to take care of you." Even if he dies, he doesn't want to ask the old man to help. ”

Tantai Mingyue didn't have time to kill time, so she immediately sneered, "I don't have time to rub my mouth with Mr. Don't worry, I won't let you die, come on, cut off his legs first. If you can't find the source of the poison, I will torture you every day for 100 days. If Mr. can persist for 100 days, he will personally set up a tombstone for you. ”

When Gu Fan heard this, he knew that Tantai Mingyue was deliberately scaring the other party, so he immediately pulled out his waist knife and walked over. Gu Fanxin said that if this old man was really stubborn, it seemed that he would really make him suffer a little.

An Mingsheng's face turned pale with fright, the old man who picked bees didn't expect that the person who begged him to do something would be so vicious. In the past, when someone asked for help, they couldn't kneel down and cry, how dare they treat him like this.

Seeing the bright big knife raised high, the old bee picker was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "Stop~ I promise~ The old man can't agree." ”

Yutai Mingyue sneered, "I hope Mr. doesn't mind, Lord Shangguan's life and death are very important, and you have to be forced to do so." If Mr. can help cure this poison, I will agree to any conditions. But if the gentleman deliberately uses some means, then don't blame him for being unkind. ”

The bee picker gritted his teeth, "Although the old man is a mountain villager, he also takes his reputation very seriously. Old man Ann has been friends with me for many years, and he knows my temper. As long as you make a move, you will definitely not hide anything in the next place. But I also said the ugly words in the front, in the next will only test the drug, but not detoxify. The old man has dealt with mountain poisons all his life, and this is the only ability. ”

Yutai Mingyue bowed slightly, "Then thank you, sir, as long as the source of the poison can be detected, I will definitely thank Mr. again." Someone, please go to Shangguan-sama's room. ”

"Wait." The old man shouted.

"What, what else does the gentleman want?" Yutai Mingyue asked with anger in her endurance.

"Bring me ten clean empty bowls and a bucket of clean well water. Also, catch three old roosters and two pure black dogs. Remember, it must be pure black and not have a single stray hair. The old bee picker said.

Tangtai Mingyue was stunned for a moment, and Doctor An also asked strangely, "Old Fan, I have all the tools for drug testing, what do you want these things for?" ”

The bee picker glanced at An Mingsheng, "Old Antou, the source of poison that even you can't detect is definitely not an idle poison." In this world, the source of poison is nothing more than two properties. One is a yang poison, the rooster is a descendant of the red bird, with its own yang in the body, and its blood is needed. The other is the negative poison source, the black dog can see the yin ghost, and the blood has the yin origin. You don't understand it, if you want to detect the source of the poison, just do what the old man said. Otherwise, it's useless to kill me. ”

When Tantai Mingyue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Quick, according to Mr.'s request, go and do it immediately." ”

Tantai Mingyue looked at the old man, no matter who he was, he could say these truths, it seemed that he did have some means. Fortunately, neither of these things is scarce, and they can be found in the city.

It wasn't until an hour later that Xiang Tiangu Fan returned to the inner house with the chicken and dog. There is no shortage of chickens and dogs in the city, but there are not many pure black dogs. The things were ready, and the old bee picker walked into the room slowly.

After a while, the old man came out with a bowl of blood and water. Under the sun, the old man poured Zhang Ruming's blood into the bowl, and began to carefully add unknown powder and chicken and dog blood.

Everyone was anxiously waiting, watching the old man smell and add, and spit from time to time and rinse his mouth with well water. After an hour and a half, the old man sat down tiredly.

"Old Fan, how's it going?" Doctor An asked worriedly.

The old man shook his head, and the doctor was shocked, "Why, even you can't find out?" ”

The old man sighed, "It's been found out, but I'm afraid you can't do anything." ”

"What, the source of poison is special?" Doctor An was stunned.

"Old man An, seven poisonous sources have been detected here, and six of them are nothing more than snakes and scorpions. But there is one, which is the poison of the rare desert salamander. Old Antou, got it, right? ”

"Ah~!"

When Doctor An heard this, he was stunned.

Tantai Mingyue didn't know why, but looking at the expressions of the two, she knew that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked.

"Old man An, can you save it? Tell me about it. ”

Doctor An looked at Tantai Mingyue with a dull gaze, hesitated for a moment, and said, "My lord, please forgive the old man for being powerless, let's prepare for the future." Not only can the old man have no choice about this poison, but even if all the miracle doctors in the world invite him, I'm afraid it won't help. ”

Hearing this, Gu Fan Xiangtian and the others suddenly froze on the spot. The bright moon of Tantai was even more like a heavy blow, and almost didn't stand still.
