Chapter Ninety-Eight: Assassination (II)

The county commander led Li Yao to the backyard of the county government and whispered: "Prince Qi, you can sleep anywhere in the room here, by the way, when will you leave tomorrow morning!" ”

Li Yao patted the county magistrate's shoulder and smiled: "Don't worry, I will leave at dawn tomorrow morning, and I won't rely on you!" ”

As soon as the county magistrate heard that Li Yao would leave early tomorrow, he put his mind at ease: "Prince Qi, it's not that I won't let you live longer, the key is that the edict has also come down, and I also want you to live in Mi County for a few more days, but it's hard to disobey your fate, so I'm sorry!" ”

Li Yao thought psychologically: "You wish I could leave now!" But since the county order is so sensible, Li Yao doesn't want to trouble the county order, so he said: "Okay, you can also find a house next to it!" ”

The county magistrate doesn't want to live in the county government, how can the county government live comfortably at home, but Li Yao, the plague god, has spoken, it seems that he can only live in the county government tonight, think about the concubine who just married in the family, there is no way to spoil her tonight!

The county magistrate is not stupid, how could he let himself suffer with Li Yao alone, and sent two officials to call the county magistrate and the county lieutenant over, and by the way, bring some food, and let Li Yao eat the 'pig food' cooked in the kitchen of the county ya, he was afraid that Li Yao would kill himself!

After the arrangement, the county commander came to Li Yao and said carefully: "I asked the official to call the county magistrate and the county lieutenant, I want to come to the prince of Qi and have not eaten, I have already asked them to bring it, and they can eat later!" ”

Li Yao looked at the county magistrate very sensible, patted the county magistrate's shoulder, and said with a smile: "You did a good job, go and arrange the guards to stand guard, I will rest first, and when the meal is ready, you are coming to call me!" ”

The county magistrate nodded and said, "My province, I'll go down and arrange it now!" ”

Li Yao took Qizhi and Fuchuan to the wing, Li Yao's ten guards guarded in front of the door of the wing, and a group of officials with blue noses and swollen faces in the county government were arranged to work by the county order.

Li Yao said to Fuchuan: "Fuchuan, you go to see the road here, you must be familiar with the situation here, and make a good way to retreat!" ”

Fuchuan was ordered to go out.

Looking at Qizhi's curious eyes, Li Yao said: "No matter where I go, I won't force myself to a Jedi, I won't do anything that I am not sure of!" ”

Qizhi stared at Li Yao and said with a smile: "Husband is so powerful!" ”

Li Yao hooked Qizhi's nose and quipped: "I'm even more powerful at night!" ”

Qi Zhi smiled shyly: "Husband is making fun of me again, ignore you!" After speaking, he turned his head and pretended not to pay attention to Li Yao.

Seeing that Qizhi really couldn't stand the teasing, Li Yao got serious and said, "We are going to leave Yiguo in two days, and you may not be able to come back in the future, do you regret it!" ”

Qizhi whispered: "Where is the husband, I will go!" ”

After listening to Qizhi's answer, Li Yao laughed and said: "Don't worry, Qizhi, it won't be long before I will take you back here, Yiguo is really a good place, I can't leave it!" ”

Qizhi looked at Li Yao suspiciously, and Li Yao smiled: "It won't take long for you to know, Yixian is not a place that can accommodate me!" ”

Qizhi looked at Li Yao silently and didn't say much. Li Yao likes Qizhi's character very much and doesn't ask anything, so Li Yao can talk to Qizhi about many things.

At this time, the guard knocked on the door and said, "The county order is asking to see you outside!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "The county order is estimated to have prepared dinner, let's go out!" ”

Pulling Qizhi out of the door, he saw three flattering people standing at the door, and the county commander smiled: "Prince Qi, the meal is ready, it's ready to eat!" ”

Then he pointed to the two people next to him and introduced: "These two are the county magistrates and county lieutenants of my Mi County!" ”

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant arched their hands and said, "I've seen the prince of Qi!" ”

Li Yao smiled: "Okay, don't be polite, let's go eat, I'm hungry!" ”

The county order led Li Yao to the dining hall, there was a little second standing at the table, and the county order said: "This little two is here to deliver food, this restaurant is our must, I go to eat every day, the taste is absolutely satisfying!" ”

Li Yao said with a smile: "Then there is Lao County's order to bother!" ”

The county magistrate smiled: "It should be, it should be!" ”

Li Yao pulled Qizhi to sit down in the chief, and the county commander and others also took their seats in turn!

Wait until everyone is seated, Xiao Er began to set up the dishes and chopsticks, Xiao Er's skills are very quick, and the dishes and chopsticks are set up in the blink of an eye, and then introduced: "The food can't be cold, so it was not put out in time, please understand!" ”

Li Yao said: "Then hurry up and serve the food now!" I can't wait! ”

Fuchuan did not sit down, but stood behind Li Yao, and the dishes were brought up by Xiao Er one by one, there are really a lot of dishes, and they look very fragrant, and the taste will not be bad if you think about it!

When Xiao Er finished serving all the dishes, the county commander smiled and said, "Master Hou, please eat the dishes!" ”

Li Yao waved his hand and said, "No hurry!" ”

Then he said to Xiao Er: "You, taste all the dishes!" ”

Xiao Er was not surprised, took out the spare chopsticks, and began to eat the vegetables!

Li Yao had to guard against it, after all, this dish was not made with his own eyes, and no one dared to guarantee whether it was poisonous or not!

The county Cheng said embarrassedly: "Prince Qi, are you too careful, I personally asked the chef to make this dish, and it will definitely be fine!" ”

Li Yao turned a deaf ear, stared at Xiao Er in a daze and tasted every dish!

After Xiao Er tasted it, everyone stared at Xiao Er for a long time, and found that Xiao Er had no other abnormalities, and the county commander hurriedly rounded the field and said with a smile: "Prince Qi is cautious, and he is a model for us to learn!" Come to Prince Li, I will toast you! ”

Li Yao also felt that he was a little too careful, so he smiled and said: "Haha, county order, I also did this for the sake of safety, don't mind, I respect everyone for this cup!" ”

Then raised his head and drank a glass of wine, everyone saw that Li Yao was so face-saving, so they also drank the wine in the cup one after another, Li Yao looked at Xiao Er's calm face, and found nothing abnormal, and then picked up chopsticks and prepared to eat!

As soon as his hand touched the chopsticks, Li Yao suddenly thought, "No abnormality is the biggest abnormality!" How could Xiao Er not be a little surprised that he let him taste the vegetables and test the poison! But the dishes have obviously been tasted by him, and it's okay, is it really that he is too careful? ”

Just picked up a chopstick dish with chopsticks, Li Yao was about to enter it, and suddenly thought, why didn't the dishes and chopsticks be set at the beginning, the dishes can be served later, but why are the dishes and chopsticks also placed after everyone is seated, is there a problem with the dishes and chopsticks?

Li Yao looked at Qizhi and found that Qizhi was about to eat, Li Yao hurriedly shouted, "Wait! ”

Qizhi put down his chopsticks, looked at Li Yao, and asked softly, "Husband, what's wrong?" ”

Li Yao picked up Qizhi's chopsticks and sneered at Xiao Er: "You, use these chopsticks to eat vegetables!" ”

Xiao Er's face changed, and he said, "My lord, I have obviously eaten it all just now, if you are not satisfied with the food in my restaurant, I will leave now!" ”

Li Yao sneered: "Want to leave? It's not so easy, Fuchuan takes him! ”

Hearing Li Yao's order, Fu Chuan directly tiptoed over, stretched out his hand, and made Xiao Er lose his ability to move and fall to the ground!

The county commander looked at it and hurriedly said, "Prince Li, what's wrong?" Didn't Xiao Er eat food just now? And I also ate some of these dishes, and there is nothing wrong with it! ”

The county magistrate and the county lieutenant also chimed in.

Li Yao didn't bother to pay attention to the county order and others, picked up Qizhi's chopsticks and inserted them into Xiao Er's mouth, and it didn't take long for Xiao Er to foam at the mouth, and he lost his breath in a moment!

The county commander looked at it and hurriedly said, "What's the matter, is this dish poisonous?" Then he yelled at the county magistrate: "I have long seen that you are plotting against my county order, and Lao Tzu usually treats you well, what is not assigned to you?" Why do you want to hurt me? ”

Xian Cheng also fell down from the chair, sat down on the ground, shook his head and said tremblingly: "I don't know, I don't know!" I didn't poison it! ”

Li Yao shouted: "County order, don't worry, you are not poisoned, the dishes are not poisoned!" ”

The county magistrate pointed at Xiao Er and said, "The dish is not poisonous, why did Xiao Er die?" ”

Li Yao took out the chopsticks from Xiao Er's mouth and said: "Only these pair of chopsticks are poisonous, I was just thinking, why didn't even the chopsticks be placed on the dinner table, why did the people sit down before they set the chopsticks, it is estimated that it depends on where I sit, and then give me the poisonous chopsticks, want to poison my life, and then let you take the blame!" ”

After listening to Li Yao's words, the county order broke down in a cold sweat, if the prince of Qi died in the county government of Mi County, the consequences were really unimaginable!

The county commander shouted at the county man who was sitting on the ground: "Give you a chance to atone for your crimes, and immediately arrest all the people in the incense building for me, and I will go to the court overnight to solve the case!" ”

The county Cheng immediately got up, and was about to call the official to rush to Xiangmanlou, Li Yao shouted: "County Cheng, come back, I have something to ask you!" ”

As soon as the county leader saw Li Yao calling him back, he hurriedly ran to Li Yao's feet, and shouted as he ran: "Prince Li, I was really wronged!" I really don't know anything! ”

Looking at the county's hurried appearance, Li Yao said secretly: "Just what you look like, what big things can you do!" But Li Yao still smiled and said to the county Cheng: "County Cheng, don't panic, I believe you are innocent!" ”

The county man said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you Prince Li for your trust, thank you Prince Li for your trust!" ”

Li Yao asked, "Do you know this little two?" ”

The county man shook his head and said tremblingly: "I received a notice from the official today, so I hurriedly went to Xiangmanlou to order, came to Xiangmanlou, and saw this new little two, and I also asked the original two?" The shopkeeper said that the original Xiao Er was sick, so this new Xiao Er came with me, and I really didn't know anything! ”

Li Yao smiled: "Okay, you go to Xiangmanlou to arrest people!" ”

The county man nodded hurriedly, and was about to rush out with the officials, when he saw a fire outside, and some people shouted: "Xiangmanlou is gone, hurry up and put out the fire!" ”

The flames burned more than ten zhang high, and the incense full of buildings could be seen in the county office!

Li Yao smiled and said: "County Cheng, don't go, Xiangmanlou has been extinguished!" ”

The county magistrate said, "Prince Li, what should I do then?" ”

Li Yao smiled: "What else can I do, go to sleep, I'll leave tomorrow morning, and when I leave Mi County, everything will have nothing to do with you, so you have to protect my safety tonight!" ”

The county magistrate immediately patted his chest and promised: "I won't sleep with the county lieutenant tonight, just stay at the county office, I want to see who dares to send someone to assassinate Prince Li!" I promise to tear those lives alive! ”

Li Yao smiled: "Then there are a few workers, I'll go back and rest first!" ”

The three county officials nodded and sent Li Yao back to the room, and then waited for dawn at the county office, looking forward to seeing Li Yao away quickly, otherwise if there was an accident, then he would really be torn alive!
