The Seven Princes were poisoned, and the dying matter was spread in the palace, and everyone was in danger.

One of the most widely circulated versions is that the poisoning was an act of revenge by the princelings.

But Zhu Wanqing didn't think so, she knew very well that this poison was not 100% against the prince, because the person who drank the bowl of pigeon soup should have been herself.

Zhu Wanqing knew that it was not safe to stay in the palace at this time, so she simply took Zhang Xiaohu and Ling'er to Wang Qi's courtyard for a few days.

The three of them sat around and discussed, since the other party's goal was directly aimed at themselves, it must be related to Zhang Hanwen's case.

Zhang Xiaohu analyzed that Yao Xiangfan was the most unlucky to make up everyone's leaks by himself, so he was the most suspicious.

Zhu Wanqing denied: "Although my uncle is high-flying and domineering on weekdays, he is a person who has no opinions when it comes to major events, and he definitely does not have the courage and courage to poison the princess of the Ming Dynasty." ”

"That is, the flowers often fall, he is afraid that one day the east window incident will happen, so he will kill your mouth first." Ling'er said.

"It's impossible, no matter who checks the silver, it will eventually be found on the emperor's account, unless that person doesn't want to live, no one will dare to check the silver. Hua Changluo is the safest to take the emperor's car, and he can't make such a big move here and now. Zhu Wanqing also denied this conjecture.

"It can't be the emperor, right?" Zhang Xiaohu suddenly felt cold behind his back.

"Don't talk nonsense, except for the stunned young people in the Imperial Tower, my father is really not afraid that other people will catch him." Zhu Wanqing said.

Zhang Xiaohu thinks about it, only the people in the world dare to point their noses and scold the emperor, the emperor will generally take the initiative to admit his mistake in order to show his virtue, anyway, if he apologizes, it will not be a problem.

"According to this, only Yao Ge is the only one who is suspicious." Ling'er said with a solemn face.

This Yao Bingyong is really ruthless, saying that whoever is killed will be killed, and his granddaughter is no exception. Zhu Wanqing just cut off one of his arms, and besides, his subordinates were merciful and didn't pursue it further, but he wanted to put people to death.

"It seems that Yao Ge's original wishful thinking was to poison the princess first, and then blame Lord Xu, killing two birds with one stone." Zhang Xiaohu's words reminded Zhu Wanqing that although he poisoned the wrong person right now, this disaster can also lead to Xu Guangyan, and he must inform Lord Xu to prepare.

Who can be sent? Zhu Wanqing didn't know the people around Xu Guangyan.

The three of them were having a headache about this matter, and they didn't discuss a good way during the day, when suddenly a voice sounded behind them.

"I'll go, I'll go find Lord Xu."

Zhu Wanqing looked for this strange voice, it turned out to be Wang Qi, who had been silent, and he finally spoke.

"That's right, Wang Qi was recommended by Lord Xu, so he can be regarded as a princeling." Ling'er said.

"I'm not a princeling, Wang Mou has been a frank person all his life, only distinguishing between good and evil, loyal and traitorous, and not distinguishing between enemies and factions." Wang Qi lost half of his tongue, and his speech was not good, and it sounded a little ridiculous, but everyone endured it, and they didn't dare to laugh for fear of embarrassing Wang Qi.

"Lord Wang, why do you want to help us?" Zhu Wanqing originally thought that Wang Qi would hate herself, after all, it was Murong Xiaosui who ruined his career.

"All the sins I suffered are not actually due to those bandits, but all because of Yao Bingyong and them, if they hadn't disturbed the boundaries of Langcheng, how could there be thieves and thieves in the local area, and how could I have my tongue cut out?" Speaking of this, Wang Qi couldn't help but shed tears again.

"Then I bother Lord Wang to report to Lord Xu, the current problem lies in how the factory guard decides the case, Shen Liang's consistent style is to be sloppy, so there is nothing to worry about. It's just that the flower often falls, and it will definitely collude with Yao Xiang to harm Lord Xu, so if Lord Xu wants to protect himself, the flower often falls is a key point. Zhu Wanqing's analysis was very reasonable, but Wang Qi didn't listen to it much.

"Wang firmly believes that this world is the king's law, and if Lord Xu is really innocent, no matter how much others do harm, they will not be able to stand." Wang Qi is really a clear stream, and he doesn't bother to use Zhu Wanqing's set at all.

"Lord Wang, I know that you are high, but right now Lord Xu is in danger, you must let him find a way to deal with Hua Changluo, no matter what means are used." Zhu Wanqing was almost pleading with him.

"Justice is in the hearts of the people, the princess is not worried, I will protect Lord Xu." Wang Qi stood up and said goodbye to the three of them.

At present, because of his disabled tongue and unpleasant speech, he is afraid that it will be undignified to become a prefect again, so he took the initiative to resign from his official position and was willing to go to Xu Guangyan's mansion to be a guest.

"If it wasn't Zhang Hanwen who went to Langcheng first, but this Wang Qi, I'm afraid that the tens of thousands of people in Langcheng would not have been in the wilderness." Zhu Wanqing looked at Wang Qiyuan's back and couldn't help but sigh.

......

Three days later, a fortune teller came to Xu Guangyan's house, this person shouted loudly at the door early in the morning, and he didn't know if it was a big tongue or how to drip in his mouth, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.

The gatekeeper couldn't stand it anymore, and he couldn't drive it away, so he called the housekeeper.

The housekeeper prepared a few copper coins to send him away, but the man didn't want the money, and shouted: "Your master is about to come to a catastrophe!" ”

The housekeeper had no choice but to let the man into the house.

No need to ask, this fortune teller with a big tongue is dressed up by Wang Qi.

After Xu Guangyan saw Wang Qi, he couldn't help but cry.

Wang Qi entered Beijing to take the exam in his early years, Xu Guangyan was the chief examiner at that time, he had a good impression of this candidate, and originally wanted to recruit him to his disciples, but Wang Qi was unwilling to attach himself to the party and refused. Zhang Hanwen, who was in the same department that year, chose to worship Yao Bingyong.

Now that seven or eight years have passed, things are not people, and the person in front of him has been tortured by the years to get out of shape, and he has no spirit to distribute when he was rushing to take the exam. Xu Guangyan is twenty years older than Wang Qi, but at this moment, the two look like they are of the same generation.

"Wang Qi, why do you want to come to see me at this time?" Xu Guangyan ordered everyone to leave the house, and he wanted to talk to Wang Qi well.

"Lord Huishangshu, Princess Lingyang asked me to bring you a message, the factory guards investigated the poisoning case of the Seven Princes, I am afraid that the disaster will be brought to the adult." Wang Qi said.

"I also expected this, but now that the crown prince is deposed, and the forces in the DPRK and China are falling to him Yao Bingyong, what can I do?" Xu Guangyan sighed to himself that now he can only sit at home and wait for death, there is no one in the court, and he is lonely.

Wang Qi was silent for a moment, and said lightly: "I have no intention of participating in the party struggle, I just want to do my own work to benefit the people, how can God not fulfill my wish, and punish me, I am unwilling, I am not willing to be this court by the Yao Party to stir up the miasma." ”

Wang Qichang breathed a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of some psychological baggage, and said: "Princess Lingyang has a saying that is very right, Lord Xu must protect himself, Hua Changluo is a key person, how to try the poisoning case, who to pour dirty water on, isn't it his father-in-law's words, as long as this person is dealt with, the adult will be fine." ”

"Oh?" When Xu Guangyan heard this, Lingyang was still helping himself, and it seemed that this little girl was indeed on his side.

"When I was the county magistrate in Yanbei, a mine in a neighboring county dug up the water source of the royal mausoleum, and finally caused the underground river to be diverted and flooded the tomb of King Yan. Everyone knows that the first emperor had no heirs, and the current saint was succeeded by King Yan, so the crime of destroying the imperial tomb is great. Wang Qi said unhurriedly.

"You mean, it's about the Duke?" Xu Guangyan seemed to have grasped the life-saving straw.

"Of course, the imperial court has a clear rule that no mining is allowed in the vicinity of the imperial tomb, and he often instructed his fellow villagers and relatives to open mines privately, and flooded the tomb of King Yan, do you say that after the saint knows, will he blame him for the disadvantage of the past few years?" Wang Qi smiled and said.

Xu Guangyan's face smiled after hearing this, but he didn't expect it to be a desperate life.

"Is there any solid evidence for this?" Xu Guangyan asked.

"Yes, but it's not in my hands, after the accident, the local twists and turns have been detained by Hua Changluo, and all the officials who mentioned this matter have been dealt with. The county magistrate of the neighboring county also sent him a large prison for this, and his family handed over all the files of the case to me for safekeeping before fleeing, and at that time, for the sake of safety, I transferred them to a local ruined temple, but after the limelight passed, I could not find it again. Speaking of this, Wang Qi couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"How's that to be?" Lord Xu's newly-ignited hope was shattered again.

"My original intention was to severely punish the crime and bring Hua Changluo to justice, but I have changed my mind now, this matter can be used as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Hua Changluo, we can pretend to have the conclusive evidence of the Yan Wang Mausoleum case in our hands, and force Hua Changluo to comply."

Although Wang Qi has always been a clear stream, firmly believes in the law, and disdains this kind of dirty transaction, if he sticks to his previous views now, I am afraid that he can only sit back and watch the Yao Party dominate the world.
