It is said that thousands of households failed to save the grain, grass and military supplies, and dozens of days of hard work fell short, which was really heartbroken and angry. On the one hand, he ordered people to go out of the city to hunt down the arson strongman, and on the other hand, he ordered people to find the mastermind behind the scenes. After returning to the military tent, he convened everyone to discuss countermeasures, but when he saw that Lei Yuting was coming due to illness, he was even more angry in his heart, and immediately ordered: "Lei Yuting, as the prefect of Jeju, is entrusted by the imperial court, and he is overlooking the state and county defense, but he is negligent in his duties and poor in defense, so that the grain and grass are burned and the bandits abscond, so it is difficult to escape the blame, and the crime should be severely punished, and he should be taken away from his seal first, detained and imprisoned, and when the matter is clear in the future, he will show the king, and listen to the court." ”

Besides, Lei Yuting was already ill and had not recovered, and he drank too much alcohol last night, resulting in a groggy and difficult to get out of bed this morning. His heart was impatient, thinking that today was the final tournament in the ring, and it was my son's time for revenge. Besides, Sinzan's first lead to the conquest of the army is on the day, but it depends on how he responds. If you are drunk and can't see things, what if you have an accident? So he called the fourth lady and said: "I am drunk and not awake, but official business should not be delayed, you and arrange for someone to make some sobering soup, I will rest for a while, and then go to the prefect's yamen!" ”

Seeing this, Pan Xiurong knew that the opportunity had come, and it was the best time to poison, so he pretended to be calm and said calmly: "The old man has just recovered from a serious illness, but he shouldn't eat and drink!" I'm going to tell my subordinates to make some high-quality sobering soup, so you can rest for a long time, and the affairs of the yamen will be taken care of by others, and you can't work hard anymore, and you'll be tired! But teach the slave how to live! ”

Lei Yuting sighed and said, "Madame doesn't have to worry about it, the old man has his own opinions." That great revenge has not been avenged, how can I be taught to feel at ease? Besides, in Jeju, people's hearts are scattered, and there are constraints everywhere, if I don't work hard anymore, I will blame the Qincha, but it is not easy to explain! ”

That Pan Xiurong took a towel and soaked it in hot water, then covered Lei Yuting's forehead, and said slowly: "The slave family doesn't know about the major affairs of the state capital, but they can't see the old man working hard and suffering. Seeing that your temples are pale and your body is getting worse day by day, the slave family is so sour in their hearts! That Qincha is also unkind, relying on the lord everywhere, and blaming the lord, it is really a good heart, there is no good reward! ”

Lei Yuting said: "Madame must not talk nonsense, if it is rumored to go out, I am afraid of causing trouble!" As the saying goes: 'The official level crushes people to death', that Qin Cha is the emperor's relatives and nobles, and he has the power to reward and punish life and death, and the future of our lives is in his thoughts, so we must not slack off! ”

Pan Xiurong replied: "Master settles down, the slave family remembers!" I'm just upset for the master, I just talk about it in this house, how dare I talk nonsense when I go out? You can rest for a while, and I'll go get a bowl of sobering soup!" "Speak, get out.

That Pan Xiurong came to the kitchen and told the cook to make a bowl of decanting soup. That chef who dares to slack off? After a while, the sobering soup was ready, and he was about to call the maid to send it to the old man's room, Pan Xiurong hurriedly stopped him and said, "The old man settles down, I will serve myself!" So he filled himself a bowl and carried it to the old man's bedroom. When people were unprepared, they secretly threw the aconitum poison that had been prepared in advance. Then he slowly walked into the room and plotted to kill the Thunderstorm Pavilion.

Pan Xiurong came to the bed, helped up the Thunderstorm Pavilion, and said: "This sobering soup is ready, the slave family is waiting for the master to eat the soup!" The thunderstorm pavilion didn't know that the soup was poisonous, so he said: "In this way, there is Mrs. Lao!" So Pan Xiurong picked up the decanting soup and fed it to Lei Yuting spoonful by spoonful. Lei Yuting took a bite, his face was displeased, and he said: "This decanting soup has a bitter taste, which is not like an ordinary practice, but why? ”

Pan Xiurong listened to it and hurriedly explained: "It's a new recipe from Langzhong, adding the medicinal herb Sophora ginseng to this soup, which has a bitter and cold taste, but it can clear away heat and dampness, eliminate alcohol and nourish the kidneys." The so-called good medicine is bitter, and the lord should bear with it! The thunderstorm pavilion didn't know that this bitter ginseng was really aconitum poison, so he took a few sips and said: "The soup is hard to swallow, and I will eat it later!" Pan Xiurong said: "This soup must be eaten while it is hot, if it is cooled, it has no medicinal properties!" ”

Lei Yuting was deadlocked, and after eating two more bites, it was really difficult to swallow, so he said: "The old man has a bad spleen and stomach, so he should not eat bitter and cold things, so he won't eat it now!" Pan Xiurong pondered: After eating five or six bites, I heard that this aconite poison is extremely poisonous, and it will die when you enter it, so it must have worked. So he didn't force it anymore, but said: "The master is resting, I'll go outside to work, and I'll come to visit later!" So he helped Lei Yuting cover the quilt, went out, sneaked out of Lei Mansion, and went to find Naqin!

After less than a stick of incense, the thunderstorm pavilion suddenly felt that his heart was like a knife, his stomach hurt unbearably, and he spit out bitter water filth from time to time in his mouth, so he hurriedly called the fourth lady. The maid outside the door heard the voice, so she came in to check, and saw that the prefect was rolling back and forth on the bed, and shouted: "Hurt me!" "I was startled, and I hurriedly went to find the fourth lady, where can I find it? So I found the eldest lady and Steward Zhang.

When the housekeeper entered the door, he saw that the old man's face was purple and his mouth was foaming, and while teaching someone to invite Lang Zhong, he said, "Where does the master hurt?" Lei Yuting hugged his abdomen and shouted bitterly: "In the henchman, it is like a knife cut!" "After all, Steward Zhang is a knowledgeable person, and he looks like he has been poisoned. He asked, "What did you eat this morning?" The Lei Yuting endured the pain and said, "I haven't eaten, but I just drank a few sips of decanting soup!" Steward Zhang asked again: "Who serves the master to eat soup?" Lei Yuting said: "The fourth lady serves!" ”

When Steward Zhang heard this, he guessed seven or eight points, and then said in horror: "The master must be poisoned!" Then the fourth lady and Na Qincha hooked up with each other to fornicate one by one. When the eldest lady heard this, she said, "What a vicious Pan Xiurong! Busy teaching people to find the fourth lady! The maid said: "I have searched inside and out, but there is no trace of the fourth lady!" The eldest lady said fiercely: "You must be a thief with a weak heart and run for your life!" ”

Lei Yuting's eyes were closed, he didn't say a word, he just hugged his clothes and quilts, and cold sweat oozed from his head. Everyone had no choice but to wait for Lang Zhong to come to the rescue. Suddenly, I heard a report from the door: "The pine forest warehouse was set on fire by the strongman, and the grain, grass and military supplies were burned down!" Hearing this, Lei Yuting shouted: "God kill me!" Then he said: "Today's events, because of the Qin Mission, do not spread nonsense." regretted not listening to the words of the immortals, the old man resigned tomorrow and went to the Yuncui Mountain to find the Xuanqing people! And they were grieved and wept.

After a while, Lang Zhong came and said: "It is indeed poisoning, fortunately the poisoning is not deep, and I vomited most of it, but I use salt water to induce vomiting, I will prescribe medicine, it should not be life-threatening, take medicine for three or five days, and I will be fine!" So he prescribed medicine and took medicine for treatment. The eldest lady ordered someone to bring salt water, and the thunderstorm pavilion vomited several times after drinking, and took the antidote prescription, and the face gradually became bloody, and the abdomen was not very painful.

The thunderstorm pavilion took the medicine, and improved slightly, but he got up and repaired a letter to Qincha: "The humble position is old, and there is no way to manage things, resulting in the loss of grain and grass, and the crime is to blame, so he is willing to be punished, resigned from the post of prefect, and expressed the court's favor." After this calamity, he has no intention of doing anything, but wants to take his family to cultivate with the Xuanqing people of Yuncui Mountain, and never ask about the world. If there is a slight mansion property in the family, all of them should be confiscated and used to make up for the shortage of military supplies. The humble six-room wives and concubines, from the fourth lady down, are at a good age, and they can't bear to obey the suffering of Qing Xiu, but they each have a letter of resignation, looking for their own future, and they have nothing to do with the Lei family from now on! ”

Lei Yuting sealed the letter and said: "The old man is not dead today, but it is the will of heaven!" That is completely lonely, and he will not give up, how can I fight him? Xuan Qing Zhenren once said that the old man 'lost his son and injured his body, and his wife took her husband's life.' This time I go back, and disaster will come to my end,' and it is fulfilled today, as the true man said. But I didn't expect that it was Pan Xiurong who hooked up with Na Qincha and wanted to kill me. At this time, only by meditating and patient, taking a break from Pan Xiurong, so as to fulfill the good deeds of the Qin mission, and the Qin mission can spare my life when he sees me resign and go into hiding! ”

Lei Yuting was about to hand over the letter to the letter officer, and when he heard the noise of people outside the door, the master Dong Guo Liang led a cadre of generals and soldiers to come bravely. Dong Guo Liang came in and said: "Feng Qin Chajun's order: Lei Yuting is derelict in his duties, the grain and grass are burned, and his guilt is inescapable, and he is now arrested and imprisoned, waiting to be dealt with!" Steward Zhang said: "Master, slow down, this prefect is ordered by the imperial court, how can he be arbitrarily detained, besides, the old man has just returned, and the grain and grass have been destroyed, what does he have to do?" ”

The eldest lady scolded when she heard this: "What an ungrateful and ungrateful Dong Guo Liang, without my master, where is you today?" How to flatter my lord before, but now he is a tiger and falls into the well! The master replied: "Is Xiao Ke such an ungrateful villain who will take revenge?" It's just that Qin Chajun ordered, don't dare not disobey! ”

Lei Yuting sighed: "It's like this!" The old man calculates others all his life, but in the end he is calculated by others! So he commanded the people: "The old man will go to that prison to deal with his crimes, and when the matter is clear, he will have an explanation!" So he said to Dongguo Liang: "The master and the old man are also old people, and Wan Wangqin said good words in front of him, the old man has a letter, and he wanted the letter to send it to the Qin Cha." Now I will entrust the master to present it on my behalf. Tired of the master, thinking of kinship, trying to turn around to the Qin Mission. If he has an innocent day, he will be rewarded! ”

Nadong Guo Liang took the letter and said: "The master commanded, and he did his best!" I have received great favor from my lord, and I will go around from the middle and try to turn around. In that prison, they are all subordinates of the master, and they will treat each other safely. Just rest assured, the Jeju officials will intercede for the lord, and I am waiting for the day when the lord is innocent! While he was talking, he heard a report from the family: "The big thing is not good, someone found the body of the second son by the Zhushui River, he was stabbed in the chest, and the blood was all over the ground, I don't know who killed him!" ”

Lei Yuting listened, two words and one black, one foot kicked, one breath could not come up, fainted at that time, everyone was busy with treatment. Na Langzhong has not yet left, but he checked the pulse with his hand and sighed: "The anger rushes to the five levels, the blood gushes into the viscera, there is no pulse, and the prefect is gone!" The eldest lady immediately began to cry, and everyone in the Lei Mansion was in pain, and immediately wept and wailed together. When the master saw that Lei Yuting was killed, he said a few words of comfort, and then took the servants back to see Qin to return to his life! There is a poem as proof:

A little bit of clarity is like a lamp going out, and the soul is gone to ignorance and everything is empty.

There are no heroes whose names are not obvious, and it is never easy to end up treacherous.

are all fascinated by hatred, and they laugh at the power and scheming in their lives.

It's a pity that he didn't listen to the words of the immortals, but he died in the nine springs.
