Volume 1 Searching for 390,000 taels of gold is no more than 10,000 lives
"Okay, well, the fruit has a master. My fruit is awesome. The old lady looked very kind with a smile, and the atmosphere in the hall was very harmonious for a while.
Wan Ziluo covered her mouth and smiled, and said, "Mother, look at you, there is only fruit left in your eyes." ”
Her voice sounded, and Old Madam Wan's face sank. The head of the family is naturally not for nothing, and Mrs. Wan has been in the main room for so many years, so she naturally has some momentum.
Even if this person was her own daughter, no, she would rather not have given birth to this daughter! The old lady's tone was really different: "What else are you doing?" Don't accompany your husband anymore? ”
A fine light flashed in Su Fusheng's eyes, this old lady Wan didn't seem to like this lady Wan when she looked at it.
"Mother, I ......" Wan Ziluo was embarrassed, and didn't know what to say for a while.
The old lady's face was not good-looking: "Okay, go back to your city lord's mansion." Don't bother me here. ”
Wan Ziluo smiled awkwardly at Emperor Xiuchen and the others, and had to go back to his City Lord's Mansion.
And as soon as she left, the old lady obviously relaxed: "Guo'er is here this time, but are you ready to accompany your grandmother?" ”
Before Dongli Guoguo could speak, Su Fusheng took the lead in asking what he wanted to know: "Old Madam Wan, a few of us came here this time for the plague in Liancheng. Just ......"
After a pause, he said, "The people of this city don't look like they have the plague?" ”
Mrs. Wan's face changed suddenly, as if she remembered something, and hurriedly scolded Dongli Guoguo: "Confused! Someone has to deal with this matter, what are you going to do with this troubled water? ”
"Grandmother! I ......" Dong Liguo said anxiously, wanting to explain.
"Old lady, we are the people of the Holy Doctor's Gate. The emperor of your country sent a post to let us come over, and after we rushed over day and night, it was such a scene. I don't know...... Does the old lady know a thing or two? As the steward of the Holy Doctor's Gate, there is indeed no problem with what Yuan He said.
In this way, Mrs. Wan also understood the intention of Emperor Xiuchen and his party, but ...... The palms and backs of her hands were full of meat, and she didn't know how to choose.
Sighing helplessly, Mrs. Wan said, "Guo'er came to Liancheng to accompany her grandmother, and her grandmother was very happy. But your father is busy looking for you, so I'll send someone to send you back after staying here for a few days. ”
"I don't! Grandmother, I have a mission to go down the mountain. "She doesn't want to go back, isn't she going to be locked up by her father when she goes back?
"Nonsense!" Seeing that Dongli Guoguo was so uncooperative, the old lady was obviously angry. Slammed the table angrily: "Are you going to me off?" This bureau is obviously for the Holy Doctor, so leave now while you still have a chance! ”
The old lady's words immediately silenced several people in the hall for a long time. And it was this silence that made the old lady understand what she had said.
"Fruit, grandmother......"
"Grandmother, I don't know what you know, but I'm not going to be the kind of person who escapes!" The clarity of Dongli Guoguo is extraordinarily calm, and the last sentence is basically like a storm in calm.
Old Madam Wan didn't know what words to use to persuade her at this time, so she sighed helplessly: "I also overheard the conversation between your aunt and uncle. ”
A light flashed in Su Fusheng's eyes: "Please also ask the old lady to make it clear." ”
"This is not the place to talk, come with me."
Several people glanced at each other, and then followed the old lady to the Buddhist hall.
"What a sin." The old lady closed her eyes and prayed, and slowly explained the situation in Liancheng now.
"A month ago, for some reason, there was a sudden order from above to deal with the Holy Doctor. Ask your uncle to arrange for someone to pretend to be infected with the plague, so that he can suddenly die when the Holy Doctor comes. In this way, the title of the Holy Doctor Gate for a hundred years was ruined. But who knows......"
"Your uncle did it according to that order, but half a month ago, there was suddenly a knight in Tsing Yi who traveled here. When he saw that those people were uncomfortable, he healed them. But these people are not sick, and this visit has also seen the clues. That chivalrous man went to the City Lord's Mansion to talk to your uncle about it. I thought he was a chivalrous man, but I didn't want to ......"
Speaking of this, Mrs. Wan was a little choked: "After that person heard about the emperor's secret order, he threatened your uncle to fake a fake and poison these people. Your uncle had refused, but the man said that he could give them 10,000 taels of gold as a reward afterwards. Ten thousand taels of gold is indeed heartwarming, but your uncle only struggled with guilt for a while, and was persuaded by your greedy aunt. ”
Under the guise of treating and preventing the plague, the knight put poison everywhere in the well. This poison does not seem to be serious, and it will not kill people. It's just that his face is not good-looking, so the last bit of guilt in your uncle's heart is gone. He also came up with the plague antidote for Rausch, and tricked some people who were not poisoned into drinking it. ”
Dong Li Guoguo covered his mouth in disbelief, his voice trembling and choking slightly: "Grandmother, then you ......"
Old Madam Wan's eyes showed grief: "Naturally, he didn't dare to poison me, but it was only when I went to visit your aunt in the City Lord's Mansion that day that I overheard their plan, and your aunt forced me to drink the poison without doing anything." Anyway, this medicine will not kill people, and they will not have a burden at all. ”
Even the people of the city thought that they had been rescued, and sent the knight away with a thousand thanks. They looked at each other's faces a little unpleasantly, but when they thought of everyone like this, they gradually felt that they were not sick or sick. As everyone knows, this is the initial onset of toxicity. ”
Su Fusheng frowned: "Does poison have other effects?" ”
Old Madam Wan nodded, and opened her eyes to look at the Guanyin Master in front of her: "A few days ago, the first few people who tested the poison suddenly bled and died violently. Your uncle was afraid of causing panic among the people, so he privately sent someone to deal with it. But the knight was gone, and no one knew where he had gone. ”
"What about ten thousand taels of gold?" Zhongli Qingyu asked.
"Humph! What ten thousand taels of gold. The man said that when he left, he would send for the gold to be placed under a willow tree a mile outside the city, so that the lord's men would go with him to fetch it. After killing all the guards, the knight left a letter and left. ”
"What about the letter?"
"Letter? It's just a few words. 10,000 taels of gold are no more than 10,000 lives. The old lady's eyelids closed heavily, and she didn't dare to face the wrong things done by her daughter and son-in-law.
Su Fusheng figured out his thoughts, but still felt that something was wrong: "Old lady, why do you say that this is a bureau against the Holy Doctor?" Is it just because of the secret decree of the previous emperor? ”
"The Holy Doctor Sect is already independent of the Four Kingdoms and unconstrained, which Emperor of the Four Kingdoms doesn't want to get rid of this force? However, the Holy Doctor Sect has mastered the medical skills that everyone in the world is eager for, if it was before, Emperor Yiyi would only dare not do this. It's just that I don't know what's going on recently, the emperor not only sent troops to attack Huanyu, but also sent an order to let Liancheng create the illusion of a plague. ”
The old lady sighed heavily: "Since I have already told you, before the city lord has found you yet, you should hurry out of the city." Pity my fruit, but as soon as I met my grandmother, I was leaving. ”
Di Xiuchen and Yuan He glanced at each other, if the matter was really what Mrs. Wan said, I am afraid that they really can't stay. Even if you want to detoxify the people of Liancheng, it can't be the two of them. It goes without saying how important the two of them are to the Holy Doctor. If something happens here, I am afraid of the revenge of the Holy Doctor, and I can't afford it.
It's just that...... Why did the emperor choose Liancheng?
Su Fusheng felt that he had fallen into a big mystery, maybe Mrs. Wan was telling the truth, but it was probably only a small part.
A few people rested for a while, preparing to return the way they came. But I never thought about it......
"Since a few of you are here, why don't you go to my City Lord's Mansion and sit down?" The gate of Wanfu has already been unknowingly surrounded by the city lord and people.
"Yu Chongtao! Do you really want to do that man's wish? If he has abandoned me so much, should I continue to be grateful for Dade's dedication to him? The old lady was so angry that she staggered a few steps, but Dongli Guoguo behind her supported the old lady's body.
The city lord of Liancheng, that is, Yu Chongtao, respectfully saluted the old lady: "Look at what Mother is talking about?" The son-in-law just saw that these guests were extraordinary, and wanted to make friends. ”
