Chapter 309
"My lord, my lord...... Big things are wrong! Cui Youliang could be regarded as a restful night, but he was woken up by someone outside the tent the next morning.
"What's the noise!" Cui Youliang couldn't bear to get up.
"Dead ...... He's dead! Those are dead! The subordinates crawled in to report, and then a Lang Zhong also trembled like a sieve, and came in and said in a trembling voice:
"Yesterday's prescription was wrong, wrong!" Lang Zhong cried after speaking.
There are several doses of medicine on the prescription that are wrong, but Cui is in a hurry, and if he can't take it out, he will die, so they are also saving their lives, so they have to take out the prescription in a hurry. Originally, I wanted to find a living creature to try, but who knew that Cui Youliang was eager to make meritorious contributions and directly try it on people.
"What did you say?!" Cui Youliang suddenly did it to the ground, his face was like ashes, and it took him a while to react, pulled the collar of the subordinate, and roared:
"Quick, quick...... Go and intercept the messenger at the station! Intercept it no matter what! Just go! ”
"Yes, yes...... But the post station uses fast horses, and our horses can't keep up at all! "The subordinates are now dead-faced.
"That'...... Then send two archers! Cui Youliang was already red-eyed, and said angrily: "If you can't intercept it, shoot it in the back!" Shoot me! ”
There was a dead silence in the tent, and the subordinate glanced at Lang Zhong, who was kneeling on the ground and already sweating profusely, and turned around and went out in a deep voice.
After a while, Cui Youliang beckoned people into the tent, and Na Langzhong's body was dragged out.
"Lord Qiqi, Lord Qin returned to the camp from the river embankment early this morning......" Just as Cui Youliang was walking around in the tent with a gloomy face, a cronie brought a piece of news that made him big.
"What!" Cui Youliang clenched his fists, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Then did Lord Qin see those dead people, do you have any suspicions?" ”
"This ...... Seeing that he saw ......" his cronies bowed their heads and said, "But he didn't ask much, and he didn't seem to be suspicious...... I guess I only deserve to die of the plague......"
"You go down," Cui Youliang turned his back, stared at the prescription on the table, pinched it in his hand and looked at it for a long time, lit a fire and burned it.
"Someone! Immediately seized the medicinal materials Zhuangzi in Fengyang Mansion, Anqing Mansion and Huangzhou Mansion, the medicinal materials were fake, resulting in the death of a minor patient, and he was really a profiteer! Cui Youliang slapped the table, his eyes were full of fine light.
There is now a medicinal herb Zhuangzi in each of these three places, and they are naturally all industries that belong to Diancui.
This matter of counterfeiting medicinal materials and killing people quickly in Fengyang Mansion and other places, people were panicked for a while, and some victims even poured into the medicinal herb village to smash it, and the shopkeeper Liu was discounted an arm to protect Miaozhu. In addition to the medicinal herb village, the victims also took advantage of the chaos to pour into several grain stores, smashing and looting......
Now the three places are still in chaos, and Cui Youliang saw that he was about to lose control, so he had to play a book to put the blame for all this on Yaozhuang's head.
This one is on the road, but the other has not moved.
The archers sent to intercept were nowhere to be found, and Cui Youliang only felt a chill in his neck, but fortunately, a few days later, there was no message from the capital that the song with the prescription was sent to the palace. Besides, there is still Lord Xu in the capital, and they should protect him.
Cui Youliang reported that Diancui Yaozhuang had counterfeit medicines, which caused many people to die unjustly, just like the capital, and was presented to the emperor.
Then there was a concubine in the Yuan Mansion who secretly ran out of the house and went to Jingzhao Yin Yamen to denounce the wife of the Yuan family for not avoiding suspicion, and had a close relationship with the wife of the convicted Shangshu Wang of the Ministry of Works, and also spent a very small amount of silver to obtain a large field in the suburbs, which seemed to have bad intentions......
This calamity suddenly fell from the sky, and Yuan Zhiheng wanted to plead in front of the emperor, but was blocked outside the main hall.
Immediately afterwards, the Luo brothers, who fled from Fengyang Mansion to Huangzhou and Anqing Mansion, also went on a show to prove that the medicinal materials of Gui's Diancui were fake.
Naturally, there are many people in the court who intercede for Diancui, and several of her brothers-in-law, even the Yushitai headed by the Lu family, all raised objections to Cui Youliang and the Luo family's brothers.
In Wan'an Palace, the palace maid was carefully combing the hair of Emperor Xu's concubine, and Mama Ai cut the candles.
"Tonight, on the fifteenth day, Your Majesty will go to see the queen, do you think the queen will intercede for Gui's family?" Emperor Xu looked at her face in the mirror and said with a chuckle.
"That Gui clan has now fallen a big way, because she can't help herself, thinking that she can sit back and relax with the two big backers of the queen and King Gong. Who knew that these two backers were just paper paste, and now they can't even protect themselves. Mama Ai sneered:
"The queen is the most forbearing, and I think I won't touch His Majesty's scales this time for the sake of a mere return. Not only did the queen not intercede for Gui, but even King Gong never went out of the house when he came back, and he heard that he was sick and was sick in bed for several days. ”
The disaster relief was originally exhaustive, and in just a month's effort, King Gong tossed back and forth between the south and the capital three times, each time it was an urgent edict, and during the period, he kept filial piety for the queen mother...... If you are good, you will be tossed with half your life.
"It's true, this person has no ability but insists on taking the lead, where is it so easy." Emperor Xu said coldly and sarcastically, and said lazily:
"What's going on over there with King Qi? It's getting more and more unruly, and I haven't come to say hello for several days. ”
When I asked about the King of Qi, I heard a eunuch hurriedly come in and report: "There is news from the palace of the king of Qi, saying that the king of Qi came out of the palace half an hour ago and went straight to the palace, as if he wanted to intercede for the Gui clan!" ”
"What! Confused! Emperor Xu knew that he was close to the Yuan family and his wife, but he didn't expect to be confused to intercede for her at this time. boundless
That Cui Youfor, the people of the Luo family are all looking forward to their mother and son, but now he wants to chill the hearts of his ministers for the sake of returning to the family.
It's just confusing!
Emperor Xu Guifei was really angry this time.
"Go stop King Qi!" Emperor Xu said fiercely, if you can't stop your heads, don't ask for it!
King Qi was hugged by the palace people on the thigh, angry and scolded a few times, had to return to the Qi Palace, Emperor Xu immediately sent guards to guard the Qi Palace.
"Your Highness, don't drink anymore," the guard Liu Nanchen went to hide from King Qi's wine glass: "It's useless for you to plead, it makes the imperial concubine angry in vain." Besides, even King Gong and the queen didn't intercede this time, so why bother! ”
"Get out!" King Qi scolded lazily, and then drank.
"She is Mrs. Yuan, she is a teacher," Liu Nanchen had never seen him look so depressed, and just wanted to shake him awake: "It's just a master." ”
King Qi looked at Liu Nanchen incredulously, suddenly became a little annoyed, and stepped forward to punch and kick Liu Nanchen:
"You fart!"
Liu Nanchen looked at him coldly and said, "Your Highness, can you know that Mr. Yuan has actually stood in line in his heart...... He was on King Gong's side. ”
King Qi squinted at him, and didn't speak, he didn't know where he was, he already knew.
"He chose a difficult path, didn't he...... I'm not afraid of getting involved...... She. King Qi muttered.
What else is there behind King Gong besides an empty shelf? Nothing.
He knew that he couldn't do it, and King Qi was puzzled, he was no worse than King Gong, why he chose King Gong in the first place.
In Yuan's mansion, Diancui looked at the heavy snow outside. A few little maids who had just entered the house carried baskets of silver silk and charcoal, shuttling between the corridors, walking briskly and with slender waists.
Diancui remembered that when she was in Qianjia Village, she was in that dilapidated thatched yard with Yuan Zhiheng, Yuan Zhiheng taught her to write on the snow, and told her about the scene when men in the world loved beauties.
Yuan Zhiheng took a goose feather and draped it for her, and the two of them stood side by side under the corridor, quietly watching the snow.
"Teacher, do you think I'm still beautiful?" Diancui suddenly smiled and turned around, a teacher who hadn't called for a long time, but suddenly called without any sense of strangeness.
Yuan Zhiheng was slightly stunned, only to feel that his eyes were slightly swollen, the tip of his nose was pantothenic, he leaned over and kissed her lightly on the forehead:
"I've seen my wife's face, it's just like that."
Yuan Zhiheng looked at Dian Cui's eyes steadily, and said solemnly: "Don't be afraid, I won't let you have anything." ”
Diancui nodded, saying I'm not afraid.
When Diancui was taken to Dali Temple, she was already nine months pregnant, and she was about to give birth. Aunt Xing and Dong Xue cried and begged the official who came to arrest her to let the two of them accompany her, but the official was afraid of Lord Yuan's face, so he only brought the young Dong Xue with him.
Although he had expected this to happen, but witnessing the scene of Diancui being taken away, Yuan Zhiheng was still so angry that he almost vomited blood, but Diancui comforted him and told him to take care of the already frightened Sister Ci, Yunyun.
If it is said that Diancui is not afraid in her heart, it is also false. On weekdays, under Yuan Zhiheng's pampering, it is inevitable that she will have the habit of being coquettish, but she is a person who has even experienced death, and now that the big event is coming, she has calmed down, and she has not forgotten to laugh at herself in her belly.
Once she was a second-class lady with infinite scenery, and once she was imprisoned, her life was really wonderful.
Because of Yuan Zhiheng and returning home, Diancui did not suffer any grievances in Dali Temple, but it was inevitable that he would suffer some cold.
Yuan's Mansion was deserted all of a sudden, Sister Ci'er was scared out of illness, and was taken by the old lady to be raised in Guifu, and the Water Pavilion School was no longer as lively as it used to be. After the two concubines given by Emperor Xu Guifei were confined in the courtyard by Yuan Zhiheng, they also cautiously did not move.
Yuan Zhiheng is now more and more depressed and calm, and his previous high-spirited temperament seems to have disappeared all at once. King Gong, who learned that Diancui had entered Dali Temple during his illness, struggled to get up and wanted to enter the palace to speak to the emperor, but was stopped by Yuan Zhiheng.
On the thirteenth day of the lunar month, the New Year is approaching. The time has also come for the officials in the court to evaluate and fill the vacancies, and many people from the Xu family have been promoted. Even the two brothers in the third room of the Luo family were promoted to important positions in Taichang Temple because of their participation in disaster relief.
Langzhong Li Sang of the Ministry of Officials recommended Gui Bonian, who was then the governor of Xuzhou Prefecture, to return to Beijing and serve as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Clear-eyed people know that Gui's family, who is now thrown in prison, is Gui Bonian's own sister, and everyone thought that this recommendation would not succeed, but they didn't expect the Holy Grace to play in unison.
After returning to the family, the son can leave for Beijing.
