Chapter 271: The net is tightly woven, just waiting for the beast to come
The tea hall of the East Courtyard of the Princess Mansion in Bingzhou Cityββ
Yu Feng held a secret letter in his hand, one hand slightly clenched into a fist on his knees, his eyebrows were shallow locked, he read it at a glance, the corners of his slender eyes were dangerously slanted, and he threw the paper full of books and small letters on the case, but suddenly waved his hand heavily, brushed off the green bricks of the teacup, and made a crisp sound!
Sitting across the case, "Jia Humble Zheng", who had disappeared in Bingzhou for several days, was shocked by the sudden thunderous anger of the usually gentle and elegant prince, and looked at the blue and white porcelain cup with broken bones in a daze, and the Huangshan Jinhao who was "lying on the ground" with grievances, and looked at Yu Feng, who was cold and cold, pursed his lips like a knife, and did not rashly persuade him, but picked up the letter and browsed it at a glance.
It's another "bang" sound!
This time, it was the beautiful scenery that smashed the lamp.
When the clear sky outside the door heard the first sound, he thought that one of the two had lost his hand - the prince was rarely angry, not to mention that Wu Niang was sitting - but when the second sound, he finally realized that the situation was not right, and looked in through the crack in the window, but when he saw that the people on the two walls were all angry, but they didn't seem to be angry at each other, so he didn't bother, still leaning on the pillar, looking at the cinnamon trembling and dangerous.
Indoors.
Yi Jing gritted his teeth fiercely: "The original one I gave to Shi Sanniang was Artemisia annua, and I didn't plan that it would be Artemisia annua that she sent to the epidemic area, but this will be the 30,000 doses of medicine that will be sent to the epidemic area, and it will be fake as true!" β
It turned out that the secret letter was written by Wei Ran himself, and he was instructed by Yijing that since he went to the epidemic area, he secretly noticed that those people who decocted the medicine did not exchange the donations of the eldest princess, so he "took it lightly", until Huo Sheng's 30,000 doses were sent to the epidemic area, all of which were checked and handled by the medical officer of the epidemic institute, Wei Ran visited the pharmacy at night, and found that those were all Artemisia annua!
Although I expected it, I should know the expected ...... "The fact that nearly 100,000 patients died that year has been confirmed beyond doubt, how can I hold my anger!" If these tigers who have lost their conscience are full of swallows, if they are not brought to justice and atone for their crimes, they will be the descendants of the surname Yu and the courtiers of Dalong! Yu Feng's knuckles were pale, his face was indifferent and cold, and he closed his eyes deeply for a while, and the coldness of his eyebrows eased slightly.
"The Artemisia annua sent by my grandmother has run out, and the patient can't put it off any longer." Yijing was extremely worried, the reason why she transferred 10,000 doses of Artemisia annua to Shi Lanxin was to prevent her from pretending to be true, and in case the plan was delayed, the patient would not be treated in time.
"I still have 10,000 doses in my hand, which should be handed over to the Third Highness in Yannan, calculate the time, His Highness will arrive at the latest in three days, but it can't be delayed for a few days, right now, the number of infected people has reached more than 30,000......" Yu Feng clenched his fists and hit his knee hard: "As a last resort, I have to wait for everything to be done properly, act in advance, even if I startle the snake, I can't let the infected lose their lives in vain." β
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, most of the people who have been sick and sick have been sick and weak, because of their own physical weakness, although they got Artemisia annua in time, it is difficult to return to the sky, and those who have died because of the concealment of the epidemic and their own carelessness not to seek treatment, there have been three or four hundred people.
Once the drug of Artemisia annua is stopped, the patients who have not recovered will recur their illness, and at this time, they are really racing against time with death.
Yu Feng made a decision, fortunately, there was news from Sanshun in the evening of the same day, Shi Zhizhou had issued a document to release, and he would leave the port the next day, and the most important point was that the document signature was exempted from inspection!
Yu Feng was relieved - Shi De did not hesitate to bend the law and issued an exemption document in order to avoid the inspection of the port guard, which proves that Ning Pinghou was concealed in the dark! That is to say, the nobles who participated in this matter and held the guards did not know that the golden prime minister was fake and true, but only concealed the epidemic for profit, and it was forgivable to bribe the disaster silver - these nobles were not the masterminds after all, and although they concealed the epidemic in the early stage, the state government also had preventive measures in order to prevent the epidemic from breaking out as soon as possible, and did not cause a large number of epidemic deaths, and the tragedy was not completed.
As a monarch, there are times when there is nothing to do, especially for these generals who hold the guards, the relationship is the stability of the country, if all the punishments are severe, the war disaster will be together, and the people will be miserable.
Fortunately, these people did not participate in the conspiracy to replace Artemisia annua with tens of thousands of people's lives.
Otherwise, things will be difficult.
When this point was determined, Yu Feng immediately convened everyone to discuss, calculate the time, when 100,000 doses of Artemisia annua left the port early the next morning, along the waterway to Nanzhejiang, and to Nanzhou Wharf, it will inevitably dock to check the passage documents for half a day, round trip to the water for two days, and at the latest three days later, Artemisia annua will be able to return to the state.
Yu Feng immediately ordered, and the Heavenly Chawei immediately went to Nanzhou to trap.
went to see the eldest princess again: "Auntie, it should be time to go to Shuozhou and meet Chang Xinbo." β
Chang Xinbo must be persuaded to defect and write a letter to ask for guilt, in order to control things in a simpler situation, Chang Xinbo is no better than Wenchen, and has to be afraid of his hands with heavy soldiers, and now he has mastered the golden phase to fake the truth, take a small profit to give, but use Xungui to invest a lot of money, and enjoy the basis of huge profits, Yu Feng was originally seventy percent sure that he could persuade Chang Xinbo, even if he was still young, or let Chang Xinbo waver, this time plus the eldest princess with the original old righteousness, it will add that thirty percent certainty.
When Chang Xinbo learned that the saint had already intended to eradicate the golden phase, and this time the evidence of the crime was conclusive, the hundreds of thousands of profits had come to naught, and the golden phase had "betrayed" first, how could Chang Xinbo have difficulties with the golden phase again?
As expected, when Chang Xinbo first heard that Yu Feng said that the golden phase was precarious, he was still shocked; Listening to Yu Feng's outspokenness, exposing the fact that they concealed the epidemic and did not report it, raised funds to speculate on the yellow artemisia to make profits from the disaster, and tried to embezzle the disaster relief funds, he was scared into a cold sweat, and his face was full of anger; Immediately afterwards, after hearing that Jin Xiang actually ordered Shi De to hide from the sky and cross the sea, and the shocking secret that they conspired to hoard the yellow artemisia to steal the beams and change the pillars, and sell them to southern Zhejiang, Chang Xinbo was already dumbfounded.
But there is still some hesitation about the confession in the book.
The eldest princess drank as a head-
"Far the same, far the same, if your father is alive, I am afraid that I will bind you to the emperor to ask for sin! You are a guard general in Shanxi, protecting the safety of your family and country, and you actually disregard the lives of the people for personal gain! You still trust Jin Rongzhong now, if he succeeds, tens of thousands of people will die because of this, and the saint will investigate it, do you still think that the army can't rebel?! β
was so shocked that Chai Yuan landed on his knees: "The little nephew will not dare to do this." β
"Then you want to use your head to pay tens of thousands of lives to the people of the state!" The eldest princess snorted coldly: "This time, thanks to Yuanyang's thoughtful planning, I didn't let the catastrophe happen, otherwise the old merits of your Chai family, the name of a loyal martyr, will be ruined in the hands of your unscrupulous son!" β
After saying this, it already made Chang Xinbo sweat coldly.
"I still have a soldier in my hand, and the matter of framing the medicine dealer in the town that day was tried by the uncle's order." Yu Feng added another stick.
Chang Xinbo added even more to the ashes.
The eldest princess sighed long: "Don't say that Jin Rongzhong is already difficult to protect himself, even if he can protect himself, will he still take care of you?" Those dead criminals in southern Zhejiang are a lesson from the past! He passed off the fake as the real and got millions of benefits for nothing, but he has ever shared the blessings with you? Jin Rong is taking advantage of the greed of your gang, and he himself is the biggest profiteer! When the truth is revealed, your soldier is a living proof, Jin Rongzhong will definitely push you out to sit on the charge, and you still hesitate, you really don't hit the south wall and don't look back, you don't cry when you don't see the coffin. β
Chang Xinbo finally collapsed, prostrated on the ground and kowtowed to confess, even if he presented the truth of the Son of Heaven in a book, he confessed all kinds of truthfully to the golden phase, and forbade himself to wait for the crime.
And when Yu Feng and the eldest princess merged, by the way, they brought on the supervision of the imperial history, and the two highest administrations of Shanxi's political envoy and the inspection envoy, and did not explain carefully to them, only said that they would watch a big show.
Because the Son of Heaven personally issued the "first" edict, several people did not dare to refuse, so they followed in a low-key manner.
Yu Feng's trip, of course, concealed Shi De and others tightly.
The day after returning from Shuozhou, the three princes arrived in Bingzhou with a holy decree in their hands.
-- The Son of Heaven has decreed that due to the outbreak of malaria in the two counties caused by the floods in Pinan and Tang counties, and the cause of the floods in the two counties is the private occupation of flood land by a number of magnates, therefore, the natural disaster, and the magnates who violated the law in Shuo should be fully responsible, and the three million taels of silver needed for the purchase of the good malaria medicine Artemisia annua were ordered to share the land according to the amount of land, and the three princes were to verify the requisition.
This edict was like a boulder entering the water, stirring up a huge surge in the sky.
First, some people questioned -
"The squatters are not the magnates of the two places, and there are many in Beijing, so why can they sit back and enjoy the illegality, and we should be responsible?"
The third prince smiled and replied: "Uh...... The magnates who occupy the land in Kyoto have already handed over their illegal gains, especially the gold, and they have not only lost their profits, but also added an additional 50,000 taels of silver to donate to the people of the prefecture. β
The magnates stared.
Then there are those suspicious people, full of measurements - at first Jin Xiang said that the matter of Pinan must be fine, we believe it, even the prince was ordered to come, but he only thought that he had a close relationship with Jin Xiang, and he would not seriously investigate it, how could he know that he was defenseless, and he was invited by the prince to drain the flood! He also said that those who don't know are not guilty, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but it is a pity that those fertile fields have become an ocean in vain, which is also a helpless thing, and now there is this one again! Jin Xiang took the lead in softening, not thinking about our interests at all, and not even fighting for it, which really made people suffocating.
Instantly, I heard the legend that the matter of letting the magnates of the two places share the disaster relief money was actually the prince's advice!
The suspicious person wondered even more: "There is something strange about this!" Jin Xiang's daughter is a side concubine in the East Palace, why did the prince do this advice, and Jin Xiang didn't dissuade him? No, it's not right......" A group of powerful people met and had an epiphany: "This should be Jin Xiang's retreat when he learned of the flood in Pinan, and he was about to leak the matter, so that the prince could be trusted by the saint!" And he's just paying for some ill-gotten gains...... How many can there be? There are 3 million taels of disaster relief silver! We're making wedding clothes for others! Shame on metallographic! β
It's no wonder that the son of the world has only been in the office for two years, and he dared to go first, and he was not familiar with the place, and he found out the cause of the flood so quickly!
In just one day, there were rumors spread again-
"Why didn't that pharmacist Huo Sheng see anyone again?"
"He said that sixty taels of silver for a dose of sixty taels of silver? Originally, several pharmacists in Dongyang Town didn't sell the medicine to the eldest princess for more than ten or two doses? β
"Shi De is a close confidant of Jinxiang, you can't believe him with empty lips and white teeth."
"Wait, isn't that Shi De official named Huo Qi?"
"To put it mildly, Jin Xiang also has a staff member named Huo Zhen, who is Huo Qi's brother."
"No, Huo Sheng is also famous, right?"
"In terms of it, they are really similar in life."
"I don't believe that a dose of dayemisia can be sold more expensive than ginseng!"
The magnates were full of emotions and questions, and Shi De was even more anxious - the third prince was going to the epidemic area, and he also brought the imperial doctor from the palace!
It's really making people want to cry without tears, if the artemisia annua is debunked......
100,000 doses of Artemisia annua, at this time, it is considered to have arrived in Henan, and it is too late to recover.
I said, Third Highness, what is the purpose of going to the epidemic area? !
It was still Miss Lanxin who calmed down: "Father, don't worry! Jin Xiang knew that His Royal Highness would go to the state, and this advice came from the mouth of the prince, could he be prepared? If there is any change, there will definitely be a reminder in the letter, thinking that the Third Highness has been advised, and those imperial doctors will not find anything. β
Alas, Miss Lanxin, you look up to Jin Xiang too much, he has long been "betrayed" by the prince completely, he is an old man, how do you know that there is a prince doctor accompanying the third prince at this time!
