Following.

The whole city of Shengchen was shaken.

There is an extremely shocking news circulating in the streets and alleys, and the servant of the Ministry has been poisoned!

What's even more surprising is that this poison actually cured General Gu's spicy snacks!

These two major things, one positive and one negative, suddenly formed a sharp contrast, and spread in the gossip aristocratic circle.

The speed of transmission is simply terrifying!

It didn't take long for almost everyone to find out.

Zhao Qinghua was lying comfortably in the courtyard eating fruit, and behind him, there was a delicate maid, who was rubbing his shoulders and pinching his legs at this time.

The maid looked at Zhao Qinghua with affection, like a budding flower that wanted to bloom to the fullest.

And Zhao Qinghua also felt the enthusiasm of the maid, his heart was full of fire, and he didn't mind immediately correcting her on the spot!

Just as he was about to move, a domestic servant outside the courtyard ran in in a panic and disturbed Zhao Qinghua's Yaxing.

"Childe...... Childe, it's not good......"

Zhao Qinghua kicked him over, and snorted coldly: "Who is wrong? This son is good, will he speak? Believe it or not, this son cut off your tongue......

The servant realized that he had broken his promise, and hurriedly changed his words: "Childe, now there are rumors outside: the servant of the Ministry of Officials has been poisoned!"

"What did you say?!"

Zhao Qinghua was taken aback, pushed away the maid who came over, and his eyes became cold.

"It is said that this servant ate the spicy noodles we sent...... He was poisoned to death, and his eyes were about to pop out! Mrs. Du threatened to ask us for an explanation...... "The servant said.

"Dead...... Poisoned?"

Zhao Qinghua stood stunned in place, constantly muttering these two words in his mouth.

I was just sitting and dreaming of becoming a fourth-grade official, but now I will directly slap myself and wake myself up?

The servant of the Ministry is a second-class official, and his death will definitely cause a sensation in the whole city, and maybe even alarm Your Majesty!

After all, His Majesty has also eaten spicy strips......

If Du Yun's death is really related to the spicy noodles he sent, he will definitely not be able to escape by then!

At least they will be served in prison, and at worst, they will be directly executed!

I'm so young, but I can't be ruined like this......

Thinking of this, Zhao Qinghua had a lot of thoughts, and he made up his mind that he must not admit that it was the spicy strips he sent!

In addition, I have to tell my father about this, and I can't solve it without him intervening!

After deciding, Zhao Qinghua didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly went to his father's room to confess.

......

in the royal palace.

Xia Xinghai looked at the folds on the table and was also a little surprised: "Poisoned by spicy strips?"

He looked at the leftover spicy strip package on the ground that he had just eaten, and then looked at the contents of the fold, and a funny smile appeared on his face.

"So, this king is also poisoned?"

He shook his head, and was about to think about how to deal with this matter, when he remembered the eunuch's voice outside the door: "Your Majesty,

Prime Minister Zuo asks to see you!"

"Come in!"

Prime Minister Zuo walked over with an anxious face, and as soon as he decided the battle, he couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, have you ever heard of the matter of the servant of the ministry?"

Xia Xinghai replied: "I just finished reading it." ”

After speaking, he also pointed to the folds spread out on the table.

"Your Majesty! The old minister begs you to summon a doctor to check your physical condition now! I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of just in case!"

Prime Minister Zuo happily shared spicy noodles with Xia Xinghai last time, and he entered the palace this time for the sake of His Majesty's body.

Xia Xinghai waved his hand and said indifferently: "This king's body, this king himself knows it, it's very good!"

Prime Minister Zuo resolutely did not let go: "Your Majesty! If you don't summon a doctor, the old minister will stay here and won't leave anywhere!"

Hearing this, Xia Xinghai was suddenly helpless.

In the entire Shengchen City, except for his precious daughter, he is not afraid of anyone, just Zuo Yu!

He knows the temper of this teacher in his own house!

When it comes to it, there is no ambiguity!

If you really let Zuo Yu stay here all the time, Xia Xinghai doesn't have to do anything, just stare at it with big eyes!

Thinking of this, Xia Xinghai had no choice but to compromise: "Okay, okay, come on, summon the doctor!"

Zuo Yu smiled with satisfaction.

When he heard about this, he didn't even care about his own body, so he rushed to the palace as soon as possible.

A moment later.

A white-haired old man stepped into the hall with a medicine box, and he bowed to Xia Xinghai tremblingly.

"Okay, come and help Ben Wang diagnose one or two, so that Prime Minister Zuo can rest assured as soon as possible. Xia Xinghai teased.

And Zuo Yu didn't pay attention to him at all, and the old god stood aside.

No matter what Xia Xinghai says, as long as he is willing to be examined.

The old doctor first checked Xia Xinghai's pulse, then carefully opened his eyelids and looked at it, then did some other routine examinations, and finally bowed down and said:

"Your Majesty is in good health and very healthy!"

Xia Xinghai waved his hand, this result was already in his expectation.

Hearing this, Zuo Yu couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

The doctor packed up his things and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xia Xinghai: "The doctor might as well check Prime Minister Zuo one or two!"

Zuo Yu almost pulled off his beard, he knew that this was Xia Xinghai's 'bad taste revenge', but his heart was still good, so he nodded and sat down to let the doctor look at it.

After a while.

Physicians also reported the same results.

Xia Xinghai didn't know why, he felt that he was also relieved?

Maybe I was a little nervous just now......

After all, Zuo Yu is his own teacher......

Xia Xinghai motioned for the doctor to step down, and then he looked at Zuo Yu and asked, "What should Prime Minister Zuo do if he thinks of the matter of the servant of the ministry?"

Zuo Yu stroked his white beard, muttered for a long time, and replied: "In this way, the minister can judge: The fact that Lord Du was poisoned by spicy strips should be false. However, how it came to be like this, we must investigate it carefully! In addition, the vacant position of the servant of the Ministry of Officials is also required

Make it up as soon as possible. ”

Xia Xinghai nodded again and again: "This king also has this intention, so let's do it!"

Subsequently, Xia Xinghai began to send people to track down relevant information, and did not forget to tear open the spicy strips and eat them.

Let's chirp, chirp...... It smells so good!

......

Meanwhile.

General Gu's Mansion.

After Gu Tianzhen heard about Du Yun's incident, he paced around the room suspiciously, his physical condition was much better now, and he could move freely if he couldn't do it anymore.

Gu Qingshan asked, "Father, isn't Du Yun's matter very strange? Obviously, we were all fine after eating it, but why did he have a problem? besides, how did he find that herb shop......

Gu Tianzhen shook his head, after learning that Du Yun was poisoned, his reaction was the same as Zuo Yu, he hurriedly summoned a doctor to come and diagnose his family, but fortunately, the results were very healthy.

And this is exactly what he can't understand!

Du Yun had lost his appetite and contracted a cold before, and he knew about it, and he heard that he was in a deteriorating period, and his condition was getting worse and worse......

But why did the news of being poisoned suddenly come out?

At this time, the servant suddenly shouted outside the door: "General, Elder Xu, vice president of the Alchemist Association, asks to see you!"

Hearing this, both of them were stunned.

Good and dignified, why did Xu Lao suddenly come to see him?

What's more, there was no intersection between the two before......

"Invite him to the living room, I'll come later!" Gu Qingshan commanded.

immediately quickly changed his clothes and took Gu Qingshan straight to the reception room.

Xu Lao and Li Wancai sat on comfortable chairs and sipped fragrant tea slowly.

Li Wancai's eyes were erratic, looking around at the layout of the general's mansion, and he was secretly amazed in his heart, living like a hillbilly.

In contrast, Xu Lao was much calmer.

Not to mention the General's Mansion, even if it is the extremely luxurious decoration of the palace, he doesn't even blink an eyelid!

"Stepping on ......"

Gu Tianzhen pushed the door in, with a guilty look on his face: "I'm very sorry!

Elder Xu stood up, nodded at Gu Tianzhen, and replied, "General Gu, is your body recovering?"

"Thanks to Mr. Xu's care, I have already gotten much better, and I will be cured soon. Gu Tianzhen replied.

Elder Xu took out a bottle of pill and handed it to Gu Tianzhen: "This is a second-level healing pill, which can help General Gu recover faster." ”

Gu Tianzhen was taken aback, and hurriedly excused himself: "No, no, no! How can Gu accept such a precious pill? Old Xu should quickly put it away." ”

Old Xu shook his head and said with a light smile: "It's okay, just talk about your heart, General Gu should accept it." ”

"This ......"

Gu Tianzhen showed a look of embarrassment, and finally gritted his teeth: "Then Gu Mou will be grateful for not being sensitive!"

Xu Lao smiled with satisfaction and sat back in his seat.

Gu Tianzhen is also a rough man, he doesn't understand so many curves, so he gets straight to the point and asks, "I don't know why Elder Xu came here today?"
