The second prince, General Secretary Zhang, Xia Guan, there is still nothing to tell about the flood, do you see? Guo Ming's eyes rolled, and he had an idea in his heart.

"Then let's go together, what do the two princes think?" Zhang Jirin asked.

"Everything." The smile on Xiao Jingyi's face was a little reluctant, but he still nodded, and the three of them entered the study together.

"Master Guo, let's talk about it." Zhang Jilin and Xiao Jingyi sat on the table face to face, and Guo Ming stood alone on the floor of the study.

Zhang Jilin asked straight to the point, and Guo Ming was stunned for a moment.

"Second Prince, General Secretary Zhang, a total of 38,623 people were affected by the disaster in Huazhou, of which 941 people unfortunately died in the flood, and the remaining 20,000 people are now safe and sound, and they are all settled in the disaster area outside the city, Second Prince, what does General Secretary Zhang think?" Guo Ming said.

Xiao Jingyi didn't have any expression on his face, but Zhang Jilin frowned.

"More than 900 dead?" Zhang Jilin asked.

"Yes, this flood is too serious, the lower officials ......" Guo Ming lowered his head, looking distressed.

"Lord Guo, it's true that the Canglan River will rise if it rains hard, but the terrain of Huazhou is high in the west and low in the east, and the flood will go down, as long as the villagers on both sides of the river move faster, there should be no problem, in this part of the city, the Canglan River will not spread over, and the casualties of more than 900 people are too serious, in addition, some time ago, the rainstorm, the embankment of the Canglan River, didn't Lord Guo send someone to reinforce it?" Zhang Jirin's questions were thrown one after another, and fine sweat gradually appeared on Guo Ming's head, he always knew that Zhang Jirin was not a person who was easy to fool, but he didn't expect that Zhang Jirin would embarrass him as soon as he came up, making his old face unbearable.

Guo Mingcheng looked up in fear.

"Mr. Zhang, the rainstorm is coming, and no one can leave on both sides of the Canglan River, is it too difficult to strengthen the river embankment?" Guo Ming defended sharply.

"Smack!" Zhang Jilin slapped the table hard.

"Master Guo, do you really think that I am in the capital and don't know something? There were four days of heavy rain in Huazhou, but after the first day of heavy rain, the weather was sunny for half a day, why not strengthen the embankment in this half a day, at that time the Canglan River should not have broken the embankment, the Canglan River has a long history, and the embankment has always been very stable, not to mention that you did not strengthen the embankment, so why not notify the villagers by the river in advance to move out, or organize them to go to a safe place? Zhang Jilin looked at Guo Ming with evil in his eyes, after all, he was trained on the battlefield, once Zhang Jilin exuded the momentum around him, it was still very terrifying.

"General Secretary Zhang, you also have to be considerate and considerate of the difficulties of the lower officials, the lower officials...... It's really wronged. Guo Ming simply knelt on the ground and began to shout grievances, and secretly glanced at Xiao Jingyi.

"Mr. Zhang, Master Guo must really have a hard time, no one wants to see such a thing." Xiao Jingyi smiled reluctantly and said, as if he was speaking for Guo Ming.

"Since the second prince has said so, the minister has nothing to say, and the second prince is at his own convenience." Zhang Jirin actually got up and walked out of the study.

"Mr. Zhang?" Xiao Jingyi was shocked and hurriedly shouted.

"Second prince, the lower official came to find His Royal Highness the Crown Prince on the orders of His Majesty, and His Majesty said that he wanted to see people in life, and he wanted to see corpses in death." Zhang Jirin paused, said without turning his head, and walked out after speaking. Xiao Jingyi sighed and sat back in his chair.

"Second prince, now the two of us are grasshoppers tied to a rope, and the second prince has to take more care of the lower officials." Guo Ming was also relieved when he saw Zhang Jirin leaving, and turned to Xiao Jingyi and said proudly.

When Guo Ming's figure was gone, Xiao Jingyi slammed the teacup on the table to the ground.

"Good Guo Ming, this prince will let you know what a lesson is!" Xiao Jingyi gritted his teeth and said.

Zhang Jilin came out, She Ning and Tianxuan didn't know where to appear, and followed behind Zhang Jirin.

"Master, just now She Ning said that there is something wrong with that Guo Ming." Tianxuan walked in and whispered to Zhang Jilin, Zhang Jilin frowned and looked at She Ning.

"That Guo Ming has the smell of poppies." She Ning is a healer, with a keen sense of smell, and the poppy itself does not taste strong, but once it is refined, the taste is very big, since She Ning smelled it, or knew it from some other source, it was naturally not wrong.

"Be specific." Zhang Jirin said in a deep voice.

"The smell of poppies on Guo Ming's body is exactly the same as the one at the Blood Altar." She Ning paused and said. Zhang Jirin stopped.

"Exactly the same?" Zhang Jilin asked.

"Yes, exactly the same." She Ning replied firmly.

Something flashed through Zhang Jirin's mind.

The unknown liquid found next to the Blood Altar last time was extracted from poppies, and this time, the same poppy flavor was also found on Guo Ming's body, is there any connection between the two?

There are two possibilities, first, Guo Ming may have been contaminated with poppies through some channel, because Liu Meiniang said before that once the poppy is contaminated, it is difficult to quit, and it is addictive to eating for a long time, which is worse than Wushisan. Second, it is Guo Ming and Nanjiang who have made an unseemly deal.

If it's the former, it's okay, it can only be said that Guo Ming is to blame, if it's the latter, then the matter will suffer.

"She Ning, you pay more attention to Guo Ming's actions, but the most important thing for us at the moment is to find the whereabouts of the crown prince." Zhang Jilin said. The two nodded, and the three of them went out of the county mansion together.

"Master."

"Master."

As soon as they walked out, Tianquan and Feng Ming landed next to a few people.

"How?" Zhang Jilin asked.

"There is a forest twenty miles east from here, and there is a big pit in the woods, it is said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell into the pit, and he has not found it yet, but yesterday they dug up the jade pendant that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince carried with him." Tianquan said

"Haven't found it yet?" Zhang Jirin frowned.

"Yes, it is said that there was a torrential rain before, and the flood poured into the pit, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince fell, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky." Feng Ming added.

"Check it out." Zhang Jirin took the lead and walked forward with his long legs.

When a few people arrived in the woods, they were a little surprised to see the big pit, which was really big and scary.

"It's said to be naturally occurring." Tianquan deliberately bit the word "it is said".

"Naturally formed? Fuck the natural formations. Tianxuan said loudly as she walked around the edge of the pit for half a circle.

"Isn't there such a thing, it's clear that people dug it up." Tianxuan pointed to several neatly arranged pits looming on the wall of the large pit.

Usually people who dig holes will make some small holes in the cave wall so that they can come up from the hole, and Tianxuan saw this, so he couldn't help but burst into foul mouth.

"Who are you and what are you doing here?" While a few people were talking, several officials came from a distance and rushed over directly and pointed at Zhang Jirin's nose and asked.

"How long have you been fishing in the pit! What did you find? Zhang Jilin asked an old official headed by him.

"It has nothing to do with you, idlers and others are all avoided, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you know?" The old official obviously didn't want to talk nonsense with Zhang Jilin and the others, so he waved his hand and drove a few people away.

Tianxuan was about to step forward to theorize, but was caught by Tianquan and motioned for him to look at Zhang Jirin, when Tianxuan looked, Zhang Jirin had already left, Tianxuan exchanged glances, said sorry and left.

"Why not?" Tianxuan asked puzzled, why their master didn't directly identify himself, and was still called by the old servant.

"It's not the time yet." Tianquan explained, Tianxuan's mind turned, as if he had thought of something.

After Xiao Jingyi returned to the room, he sat for a while, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his chest, and his internal organs felt like they had been scratched by a cat. Xiao Jingyi didn't understand why, so he climbed onto the table with difficulty, broke the cup on the table, and the sound attracted people outside.

"Second Prince, what's wrong with you? The second prince. The attendant ran in and saw Xiao Jingyi curled up on the ground, his face turned pale with fright, now His Royal Highness the Prince's body has not been found, and the second prince seems to be sick, how can they, the current people, not panic.

"Quick, call the doctor, call the doctor." There was a sudden chaos in the county mansion, all of which Zhang Jilin didn't know, and they were still looking for clues in the woods outside.

"Doctor, how's it going?" An attendant asked anxiously.

"......" the doctor frowned and shook his head.

"Tell me, doctor, what's going on?" Another attendant asked.

The doctor got up, took out a packet of something from the medicine box, opened Xiao Jingyi's mouth, and fed Xiao Jingyi, and after a while, Xiao Jingyi, who was still rolling and crying just now, calmed down.

"Second prince, how are you, second prince?" Several attendants were relieved when they saw Xiao Jingyi open his eyes.

"You go out first." Xiao Jingyi said in a hoarse voice, and several attendants in the room did not move.

"Do you want me to say it a second time?" Xiao Jingyi's tone was awe-inspiring.

The attendants retreated.

"Doctor, you can say it." Xiao Jingyi sat up and said to the doctor, he had a bad guess in his heart.

"Second prince, this, look at your signs, it looks like you have been ......hit by five stones," the doctor said tremblingly, and knelt on the ground after speaking.

Xiao Jingyi's whole person was stunned like thunder, although he had some preparations, it was still difficult to accept at this time.

"Doctor, are you sure?" Xiao Jingyi asked unwillingly.

"Fang Cai took it upon himself to feed the second prince a pack of mandala powder, and the mandala powder does have the effect of inhibiting Wushisan." The doctor's words have been said very clearly, what else does Xiao Jingyi not understand.

"Is there a cure for this poison?" Xiao Jingyi asked.

"......" Doctor shook his head, he had practiced medicine for so many years, and he had never seen anyone successfully get rid of Wushisan.

"Unless......" the doctor said again.

"Unless anything!" Xiao Jingyi asked.

"Unless His Royal Highness the Second Prince is mentally tough enough, maybe he can give it a try, but the old man looks at this as a little different from Wushisan, more like a poppy." The doctor said.

Xiao Jingyi still cares about poppy five stone scatter at this moment, he is the one who will be the emperor in the future, how can he get this disease.

"Thank you, doctor." Xiao Jingyi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and the doctor hurriedly said that he didn't dare to dare, and his neck fell to the ground as soon as he was cold.

And Xiao Jingyi sat on the edge of the bed, holding a blood-dripping sword in his hand.
