Pak An Fortress.

Under the protection of the night, several black-clothed and masked figures sneaked into a courtyard.

This courtyard looks like a wealthy home, with three entrances and three exits, and although the decoration is not very luxurious, it is very delicate and full of time.

In the dead of night, the owner of the courtyard had already fallen asleep, and only a few lamps sat on the eaves, emitting a faint light.

Several black-clad and masked figures searched the courtyard and finally stopped beside the well.

Then, under the silent exchange of several people, one of them took out a porcelain bottle and dripped a drop of purple-brown liquid towards the well.

The purple-brown liquid looked eerie in the dim moonlight, as it fell into the well.

Waves rippled on the water surface of the well, and the moon shadow in the well was hazy and enchanting.

After all this was done, several black-clothed and masked figures quietly left the well platform.

The night was still dark, and the courtyard was still as quiet as ever.

However, after the figures left, a masked figure dressed in black appeared next to the well platform.

He looked into the well, but found nothing unusual, then took a bucket and took out a bucket of water from the well, which was filled with a porcelain jar of water.

"What are these guys doing?"

"Poison!"

"The owner of this house is not a person, why did he poison here?"

The man in black looked around and muttered to himself.

After that, he checked again, and when he saw that there was nothing else unusual, he left the courtyard.

After leaving the courtyard, he continued to follow the trail of the black-clothed men in front of him, only to find that they had left a drop of purple-brown liquid in the well water in many courtyards in the city.

It wasn't until dawn that the black-clad men stopped, hiding in an ordinary house.

But at dawn, when he discovered the hiding place of the men in black, he was exposed.

"What people!"

In an ordinary house, a cold cheer came.

The man in black who was sticking to the corner of the wall heard a sharp sound of breaking the air, and before he had time to think about it, the man in black immediately withdrew.

The next moment, a snow-white blade pierced through the wall, and if he was a little slower, the sword would leave a hole in him.

"Damn!"

The man in black cursed in his heart, turned around and ran.

But as soon as he turned around, more than a dozen people jumped out of the wall.

"Stop!"

The cold shout made cold sweat break out on the black-clothed man's forehead, and he immediately ran towards the street in the distance.

Qiang!!

A crisp sword roar rang out.

The long sword flew and swooped, and the long sword pierced directly into the shoulder of the man in black.

The fleeing figure of the man in black staggered and almost fell, but he still insisted on fleeing towards the street.

"Murdered!"

When he was about to reach the street, the man in black suddenly shouted at the top of his voice.

A mournful shout broke the silent dawn.

The pursuers behind him paused for a moment.

Several people looked at each other, and one of them said coldly: "Go!" ”

The next moment, a dozen people disappeared into the alley.

And the man in black also walked through the street and into the narrow alley.

Then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded on the long street, and a group of soldiers in armor came running quickly.

"My lord, didn't find out?"

"My lord, there is blood here!"

The soldiers searched the alleys on both sides of the street, and suddenly found blood on the ground.

Seeing this, the leading flag officer looked a little gloomy.

"Damn, these bastards actually dare to use force in my Bei'an City!"

What is Pak An Shing?

This is one of the four major moats of Kyoto.

There were 200,000 soldiers stationed inside and outside the city.

But recently, there have been a lot of warriors doing things in the city every night, which makes them, the battalion soldiers who patrol the night, feel very aggrieved.

The warriors who dare to do things in Bei'an City are necessarily not weak, and dealing with such warriors is not an easy thing for them as the battalion soldiers.

Especially in the city, there are courtyards full of private houses, and those warriors are flying around, making it really difficult for them to be arrested.

"Someone, report this matter to the general immediately!"

The flag officer was also very helpless, so he could only report the matter to the authorities first, as for what happened next, it was not up to him.

……

Nishijo, Kyoto.

Qin Wei sat in the shade of a tree in the courtyard of the house.

Since meeting Gonggong Lu, Qin Wei has been living in seclusion for the past few days, always paying attention to the reaction in the imperial city.

After a few days, after making sure that there was no abnormality in the imperial city, Qin Wei breathed a sigh of relief.

This already shows that Gonggong Lu did not report his affairs to Emperor Lihuang, which means that his alliance with Gonggong Lu is valid.

"Gonggong Lu has solved it, and the next step is Ji Yuanchen, the first assistant of the cabinet!"

Under the shade of the tree, Qin Wei sat in the rocking chair and shook gently, his eyes slightly closed, thinking about his next plan.

Dali court attaches equal importance to civil and military, and there is no saying that civil and military are light, but in the court, the voice of civil officials is louder than that of military attachés.

In particular, the status of the cabinet is higher than that of the Governor's Office, because the cabinet is the highest staff and decision-making body of the Emperor Li, and all the chapters of the entire Dali are summarized by the General Political Envoy, and the Master of Ceremonies is submitted to the emperor for inspection, and then handed over to the Cabinet, and the Cabinet is responsible for drafting and handling opinions, and then the opinions are submitted to the emperor for approval.

Therefore, the cabinet has the right to propose and make decisions on all the affairs of Dali, and this alone is incomparable to the Governor's Office of the Five Armed Forces.

And Ji Yuanchen, as the first assistant of the cabinet, is the top priority in the court, although he does not have the name of the prime minister, but he is the prime minister.

If Qin Wei wants to inherit the throne in the future, he must get Ji Yuanchen's support, without Ji Yuanchen's support, even if he sits on the throne, he will be attacked by civil officials.

However, he already had a plan in mind about how to win over Ji Yuanchen.

Ji Yuanchen still owes him a favor.

"Your Highness, what you want has been taken!"

At this time, Xiao Shunzi came to Qin Wei's side with a wooden box, Qin Wei stood up and opened the wooden box.

There is a pair of calligraphy and paintings in the wooden box, and a famous poem of this world is written in the calligraphy and painting, "Wu De Fu".

More than 100 words are sprinkled with more than 100 words, such as the sea of the crowd, the dancing cranes swim in the sky, and the pen is pleasing to the eye.

It was the West Garden that made the payment.

Xiyuan is Ji Yuanchen's pen name.

At the beginning, Qin Wei served as the commander of the Zhenwu Division in Kyoto, and he did a lot of things in Kyoto, and even Chengguo Gong and Dali Temple Qing Jiangyuan were cleaned up by him, which made the military ministers in the court panic.

For this reason, Ji Yuanchen wrote this pair, hoping that Qin Wei could be a little more restrained.

At the beginning, Qin Wei didn't attach much importance to this favor, so he left this pair of words in the palace, and he didn't expect to use it today.

After admiring Ji Yuanchen's ink treasure, Qin Wei thought about it and took pen and ink to write a letter.

"Send them to Ji Yuanchen's mansion."

Qin Wei commanded.

"Whoa!"

Xiao Shunzi answered.

After Xiao Shunzi left, Qin Wei lay down on the rocking chair in the shade of the tree again.

Kyoto in July was a little hot and dry, which made Qin Wei become a lot lazy.

Just when Qin Wei wanted to be lazy, Zhao Gao quietly appeared in the courtyard.

"Meet Your Highness!"

"Sit!"

Qin Wei pointed to the seat next to him without raising his head, and said casually.

Zhao Gao sat down and said softly: "Your Highness, we found some abnormalities in Bei'an City!" ”

"What anomaly?" Qin Wei turned his head to look at him.

Zhao Gao said: "We found that people were poisoning people everywhere in Bei'an City. ”

Hearing this, Qin Wei sat up, "Poisoned?" ”

He didn't wrinkle.

"Well, they poisoned the well water of many houses in Bei'an." Zhao Gaodao.

"What poison?"

"A plague!"

The pupils in Qin Wei's eyes condensed suddenly.

Depend on!

Actually use biological weapons!

This is too much of a martial artist.

Pestilence, that is, a poison that can create plague.

The theory of pills in this world is very developed, and it is many times stronger than the Chinese medicine on the earth in the previous life.

Similarly, the use of poison in this world is also very frequent, not to mention sweat medicine and the like, what Gu poison, plague poison, blood poison, etc., all kinds of poisons are strange and terrifying.

Pills such as the Devouring Yuan Pill and the Blood Demon Pill that consume their own potential and improve their cultivation are actually considered poisons.

Another example is that among the Southern Barbarian Kingdoms, many wizards are good at raising Gu and Gu poison.

And many people in the South China Sea Islands are good at plague.

"Can you suppress it?" Qin Wei asked a little nervously.

The plague is no joke, and if there is a plague outbreak around Kyoto, it will be a terrible disaster.

There are also a million people in Kyoto City, and the four major moats combined, there are more than one million soldiers and civilians, plus the prefectures around Kyoto and so on.

Once the plague breaks out, I don't know how many people will suffer.

"Your Highness, there is no one who is good at healing poison in the net." Zhao Gaodao.

There are killers inside the net, it's okay to let them kill people with poison, but it's a bit blind to let them detoxify.

Qin Wei stood up and paced back and forth with some solemnity.

These bastards actually use such harmful means, it is simply hateful!

At this time, he couldn't help but feel a wave of anger in his heart.

"Tell Wang An about this first, and let Wang An tell Grandpa Lu!"

"In addition, immediately arrange for someone to go to Shuzhou to find Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen!"

It takes a professional to deal with this kind of thing.

Dali has too much hospital, and he should have experience in this kind of thing, as for Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen, they are just in case of emergency.

If the hospital can't do it, then you can only rely on Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen.

"And immediately find out the origin of those poisoners."

"If this king is not mistaken, it should be done by those people from Xiaoyao Island and the South China Sea."

Qin Wei said with a gloomy face.

This time, the people of Runaway Island angered him, and this method of creating a plague was really difficult for him to accept.

"Slaves obey!" Zhao Gao bowed and answered.

Qin Wei nodded and said, "Let Zuo Ci and Li Shizhen come over as soon as possible." ”

"Minions understand!"

……

Twilight.

As soon as Ji Yuanchen returned to his mansion from the imperial city, he received a report from the housekeeper.

"Master, someone sent a letter and a calligraphy and painting this afternoon."

"Oh! Who sent it? ”

Ji Yuanchen stepped into the main hall and asked casually.

"The person who came didn't say anything." Butler Road.

Ji Yuanchen frowned slightly, "Why do you want to accept it?" ”

As the head of the cabinet, I don't know how many people want to give him gifts, but everyone in his house is not allowed to accept gifts.

This matter is already the rule of the Ji Mansion, and the housekeeper should not easily violate it.

The housekeeper said softly: "Calligraphy and painting are the master's ink treasures!" ”

Ji Yuanchen's eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became more and more solemn.

It's not a gift!

It's asking for favors.

He sent a lot of ink treasures, but most of them couldn't send them back, because there was no point in sending them back.

But there are only a few ink treasures that he owes favors, and if he sends them back, it means that he has to repay the favor.

I just don't know who sent this ink treasure back.

Thinking of this, Ji Yuanchen opened the wooden box on the table and unfolded the calligraphy and paintings inside.

"Wu Defu"!

He took a deep breath and said helplessly: "I'm really afraid of something!" ”

He already knew who sent this pair of characters, because he only gave one person "Wu De Fu".

Then he opened the letter, but there was not much content in the letter, a few polite words, a few words of concern and warmth.

But after he saw the payment of the letter, the helpless look on his face became more and more intense.
