"How can the words of the people be called one-sided words? Governing the country is like a boat, the people are like water, and water can carry boats and can also ......." Li De was halfway through his words, and was suddenly stunned.

Mother Zhong glanced at him: "Say, why don't you say it?"

"Can also ......" Li De swallowed his saliva hard, as if he had swallowed a whole egg. He lifted it slowly, pointing diagonally forward. It was as if he had been struck by lightning, and even his eyes were straight.

Zhou Yu turned his head to look at him and frowned: "What's wrong with you?"

"I ...... He ......" Li De's body began to tremble, and Zhou Yu hurriedly reached out and grabbed him: "Hey, what's the matter?"

Li De was speechless, and Zhou Yu had to glance in the direction of his finger. It didn't matter if he saw it, it scared Zhou Yu a little. But Zhou Yu was more stable than Li De after all, and said in a low voice: "Wang Nianen, shouldn't he die?"

I thought that Wang Nianen was dead, was it black or white, and it wasn't his own mouth? Even if Wei Yuanxi was capable, what could he do with him without evidence? But Zhou Yu never expected that Wang Nianen would come over alive. Before he moved * to the outer wall of the tiled house, he obviously saw Wang Nianen still lying on the top of the table honestly, why did he escape and ascend to heaven just after he found the labor fee for a fire fold?

Zhou Yu blew up the tiled house, and he was feeling a little sorry, wondering if he was dazzled, or saw some ghosts or something. But rubbing his eyes carefully, it's impossible, this is definitely not a ghost, there is still a shadow on the ground! A ghost has no shadow, but this Wang Nianen in front of him not only has a shadow, but can also raise dust.

Oops, he's still alive!" Zhou Yu felt his heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly pressed it with his hand.

Wang Nianen saw that there were people under the mountain, his steps became faster and faster, and he trotted to a close point, only to see that it was someone from the Sect Master's Mansion. When he came to Yuanxi, he knelt on the ground with a puff: "Weichen Wang Nian'en see the sect master." ”

"Imperial Doctor Wang, aren't you being been?" Yuan Xi looked at him in a daze, and reached out to help him up.

Wang Nianen was not embarrassed, but there were some cuts in the corners of his clothes, some dust on his hands and face, and the skin on his palms was worn out.

"Imperial Doctor Wang, you, are you still alive? God bless, God bless!" Zhou Yu pretended to be happy, and pounced on Wang Nianen's arms and legs, wanting to check if this Wang Nianen was pretending to be someone. It's a pity that the meat arms and legs, this is the real Wang Nianen standing in front of him. Zhou Yu smiled awkwardly: "At that time, I saw that the house collapsed, and I thought you were ...... brother."

Wang Nianen dusted off the dust on his body, glanced at Zhou Yu, and smiled contemptuously: "What Lord Zhou said is that if it weren't for God's blessing, Wang might not have survived until now." ”

Mother Zhong took a pot of water and handed it to Doctor Wang to quench her thirst. When he went out, there was no fire, the water in the pot was already cold, and Wang Nianen couldn't care about his health regimen, but he felt that if he didn't drink water, his throat would be on fire. Wang Nianen swallowed a few mouthfuls, wiped his mouth, and thanked him.

"Imperial Physician Wang, what's going on?"

Wang Nianen put down the kettle, his throat was moistened by water, and he was already in a lot of energy. Imperial Physician Wang glanced at Zhou Yu with hatred: "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Yu's body trembled, and he smiled in a panic: "Hehe, what does Imperial Doctor Wang mean by this? Could it be that Imperial Physician Wang resented his brother's unfavorable rescue and made Imperial Physician Wang suffer? Oh, brother, I really tried my best to dig, but the house collapsed too badly, and the two of us were also powerless. No, I heard that Sect Master Wei's people are at the bottom of the mountain. The two of us hurriedly went down the mountain to ask for help, but the mountain road was not easy to walk, and we even rolled and fell a lot of times. ”

Li De echoed and nodded blankly.

Zhou Yu said again: "However, if the Imperial Physician Wang blames the brothers, it should also be, if it weren't for the brothers who persuaded the Imperial Physician to drink and let the Imperial Physician Wang get drunk, the Imperial Physician Wang would not have suffered this crime." Why don't you slap your brother a few times and get angry?"

Zhou Yu gave Li De a look, and Li De hurriedly put his face up: "Imperial Doctor Wang, the wine was brought by the villain, if you want to beat me, beat me." ”

Li De gritted his teeth and made a look of being ready to be beaten.

Wang Nianen sneered disapprenously: "Yes, I'm drunk, why don't I know?"

Zhou Yu was stunned for a moment, and his face slowly revealed a fierce color, this Wang Nianen wanted to fight him to the end!

Wang Nianen shook his head, Zhou Yu couldn't help but underestimate him too much, he was born as a dignified doctor, the ecstasy in the wine jug, he knew the dosage when he smelled it lightly, and the carving insect skill could deceive his eyes?

"Lord Zhou blew up the house to pieces, but didn't I, Wang Nianen, stand in front of Lord Zhou properly? Could it be that I am not afraid of bricks and stones, or will I be able to change seventy-two times, turn into small insects and fly out of loopholes?" The sneer on Wang Nianen's face gradually solidified, turning into a look of resentment: "Lord Zhou's wine, I haven't touched a drop, and I can't bring it out." However, what did Lord Zhou add to the wine, didn't Lord Zhou explain it to the sect master?"

Zhou Yu's body shook violently, as if he had suddenly dropped a piece of shortening. He licked his lips frequently, and tried his best to laugh: "Imperial Doctor Wang misunderstood my brother, you and I are in Donglin Prefecture together, serving the people, why do I want to harm you, brother?"

Wang Nianen straightened his face: "Because at first, Lord Zhou thought that the sect master would go up the mountain along the path, afraid that I and the sect master would have other plans, and I was afraid that your embezzlement of wages would be exposed." Lord Zhou is even more afraid that you will set up an ambush on the way, and the matter of attempting to hijack the sect master will be known to me, a big living person, and will be revealed. It's just that Lord Zhou's heart is not ruthless enough, if there is really a kind, why use ecstasy, why don't you take a dose of Hedinghong and poison me to death?"

Yuan Xi looked at Zhou Yu and Li De indifferently, and his expression became more and more fierce: "Lord Zhou, what do you say about this matter?"

Zhou Yu's eyes turned around in the frame a few times, but he didn't say a word. But Li De was still resisting stubbornly, shaking his head into a rattle: "No, no, no, this is nothing." Imperial Physician Wang, there must be some misunderstanding between us. ”

"Misunderstanding?" Wang Nianen glared at Li De fiercely: "You heard that the sect master led troops to surround the mine, and the dog jumped over the wall in a hurry before he buried it*, wanting to kill all the people who knew about it." Fortunately, my Wang Nianen is a doctor, and I can smell the ecstasy in the wine, so I escaped death. ”

Wang Nianen arched his hand and said, "Sect Master, it was Zhou Yu and Li De who lit the * used to open the mountain." For fear that the sect master would find out about the tens of thousands of taels of laborers they were greedy for, those laborers in the mine were all prisoners in the Donglin Mansion prison, and the other were the fleeing civilians, they didn't need wages, as long as they had food and shelter every day, Zhou Yu spread those wages in the names of the laborers, but actually filled them into his own pockets! Now that the matter was revealed, he killed the killer and buried all the people alive in one go!"

"Nonsense, you're talking nonsense!" Zhou Yu suddenly rushed forward and grabbed Wang Nianen's front placket: "Wang Nianen, you dare to frame me, how could I, Zhou Yu, an official of the imperial court, kill more than a hundred lives for a mere tens of thousands of taels of silver?"

Zhou Yu sneered: "You just see that I am the person who is the prince, you want to bring down the prince's people and ask the prince for credit! But you shouldn't use the lives of my whole family as a bargaining chip!"

Wang Nianen hated it so much that the roots of his teeth itched, this Zhou Yu really saw stitches, obviously he killed more than 100 lives for money, how can he say that it seems that he deliberately manipulated him?

Wang Nianen pushed Zhou Yu away, and he staggered back a few steps: "The surname is Zhou, you are a fool in the world? There are still more than a hundred or so laborers in the mine, and as long as there is one living mouth, you should not try to deny it. ”

Zhou Yu blushed and took a few steps back, Li De was still leaning against Zhou Yu at first, but then when he heard Wang Nianen say that there would be a living mouth in the mine, his heart was half cold, and he no longer had the confidence, so he turned around and ran. As soon as Li De's strength withdrew, Zhou Yu was defenseless, fell to the ground on his back, and a stone in the soil showed its tip and hit Zhou Yu's buttocks, making him grin in pain.

Zhou Yu didn't care about rubbing, and ran away even with a rolling belt. On the line of life and death in front of him, he also knew that if the crime was confirmed, there would be only one way to die in the hands of Wei Yuanxi, and when the emperor protected the prince's party, he would definitely not give himself good fruits to eat. Although twenty or thirty thousand taels of silver is not much for a state official, as long as there is a crime, what people want to do with you depends on your mood?

"Take him down for me!" Yuan Xi gave an order, and the two government soldiers rushed forward and knocked Zhou Yu down.

Li De heard Zhou Yu's hoarse shout after being arrested behind him, and he didn't dare to turn his head back, running as hard as he could, as if as long as he ran fast, he could escape and ascend to heaven.

"Kill him. ”

Yuan Xi raised his jaw slightly, and a government soldier beside him bent his bow and arrows. With a whoosh, I saw a figure fall down a hundred meters away. The two government soldiers ran out of their horses, picked up Li De with two spears, and set him up in mid-air.

Bang! Like a dead dog, he threw it on the ground. Li De fell heavily to the ground, struggled twice, and then died, and the bamboo sword was piercing through his chest, revealing an abrupt steel arrow.

Zhou Yu saw that Li De was dead, and finally collapsed to the ground like a mess of mud, a yellow-brown liquid gradually soaked on his pants, Wang Nianen saw that he was scared to pee his pants, and snorted disdainfully.

"Imperial Doctor Wang, are your injuries alright?"

Wang Nianen shook his head: "It's just a skin injury, and the sect master is bothered." ”

"I don't know how well they dug Captain Tu, let's go to the mine quickly. ”

Wang Nianen hurriedly stepped forward and took a step: "Sect Master, this mountain is high and dense, and the road is not easy to walk, you should first take this Dog Official Association Sect Master's Mansion and Weichen up the mountain to have a round with Captain Tu." ”

That's fine, Yuan Xi responded: "Okay, I'll send someone to raise medicine and treat the wounded as soon as I go back." ”

"Yes. ”

Wang Nianen watched Yuanxi's carriage and horse slowly leave, put his hand on his belt, and looked up the mountain. The mine at night was dark and cold, Wang Nianen sighed, only ten thousand taels of silver, and I don't know how many souls were buried in this vast wild mountain?
