When Su Wang Zhu heard this, he asked with some eagerness: "Who is the person who poisoned him?"

Ye Feng replied: "We didn't know this in the first place. But Imperial Physician Jian was only invited after Master Ma was poisoned, and he did not have the time conditions for poisoning, so the person who poisoned him was definitely not him. ”

"Then there must be another person who carried out poisoning, Master Ma's mansion is guarded by a sergeant on duty, heavily guarded, it is impossible for outsiders to enter the mansion to poison without being detected, and only Lord Ma is poisoned in the house, so this person must be someone close to Lord Ma, and he is very familiar with the rules of life of Lord Ma, so he can poison his food or drinking water so accurately. ”

Su Wang Zhu nodded again and again when he heard this, and expressed his deep agreement.

Ye Feng turned his head to look at Ma Jing, and then said: "Originally, I didn't know who to suspect, after all, there are so many people around Master Ma, and Master Ma's status is so special, there are people placed by all kinds of forces around him, and it is really difficult to investigate it carefully." ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at Su Wang Zhu, who was sitting on the top, and Zhou Ziran, the prefect of Lanzhou on the side.

Su Wang Zhu has installed eyeliner in Ma Mansion, which is no longer news, and even Ma Jing himself may know it.

As for the prefect Lord Zhou, when Mr. Huangyue was in the Qinglong Dart Bureau, Mr. Huangyue once told Guan Pengju that Ye Feng was ordered by His Royal Highness King Su to investigate the case, and when he turned his head, Lord Zhou already knew, thinking that he must have laid down his ears and eyes in the Guan family.

Even in the homes of ordinary people like the Guan family, Lord Zhou has arranged their eyes and ears, so in the homes of important people like Ma Jing, the prison army, there must be no less.

But at this moment, these two people seemed to be unaware of the allusions in Ye Feng's words, as if they were nothing, and their faces did not even change a little.

Ye Feng continued: "But now, Lord Ma, the captain of the guard that you trust the most, has suddenly disappeared inexplicably, Lord Ma, you can recall that on the day you were poisoned, was there anything abnormal in his behavior?"

Ma Jing frowned and looked down for a while, and said, "Yes, the tea I drink on weekdays is cooked by myself, and the tea utensils used are all kept by him. It was only after drinking tea that I felt unwell that day. ”

Needless to say, the person who poisoned him must be the captain of the guard who is deeply trusted by Ma Jing.

His face couldn't help but change color, and he said with some hatred: "I didn't expect that I trusted him so much, and he would secretly poison me!

Ye Feng suddenly smiled and said, "Maybe, I can guess where he fled now." ”

Ma Jing looked up a little shocked and asked, "Where did he go?"

Ye Feng said: "Master Ma, you think, this captain of the guard is trusted by you, and he has no grievances with you, and he poisoned you naturally because he was instructed by others, and it was definitely not his intention. ”

Ma Jing nodded and said, "Yes, that's right." ”

Ye Feng smiled a little mysteriously: "After being poisoned, he didn't leave, but stayed by your side all the time, and no one suspected him." But why did he suddenly run away last night and mysteriously disappear?"

Lord Zhou on the side was a little stunned and asked, "Yes, why?"

Ye Feng didn't answer him directly, but looked at Ma Jing and continued: "And

And it's such a coincidence, he just disappeared last night, and before dawn today, Song Hu's little marquis took his 20,000 iron to ride to the city of Lanzhou, this time is too coincidental, right?"

Ma Jing's face changed greatly, he stared at Ye Feng in astonishment, and said, "Could it be that it is, Song ......?"

Ye Feng nodded at him with a solemn face and said, "That's right, I guess he must have received a notice from Song Xiaohou Ye and knew that his army would arrive this morning, so he left the Ma Mansion overnight last night." ”

He took a long breath and said, "I'm afraid that at this moment, he is in the military camp of Song Xiaohou outside the city, asking his master for merit and reward!"

Hearing this, everyone understood what Ye Feng meant, and their faces all changed color.

Su Wang Zhu said in disbelief: "You mean, it was Song Hu who instructed the captain of the guard to poison the Ma Jian Army?

Ye Feng sighed and said: "Actually, His Highness had already said the answer when he came in just now, and the little Marquis Song took such pains to arrange this game, in fact, it was to deal with Your Highness!"

Su Wang Zhu flicked his sleeves and said: "Nonsense! This king has no grievances and no enmity with him, why should he design to deal with this king?"

Ye Feng asked, "Has Your Highness ever heard of rumors in the army about the death of Song Sheng, the Marquis of Xining?"

Su Wang Zhu nodded and said: "Of course I have heard of it, it is just the words of some ignorant villains, and it is really nonsense to say that the death of the old marquis of Song is related to this king! In fact, although this king and the old marquis have no deep friendship, they also sympathize with each other and admire each other very much." ”

Ye Feng said: "But you are located in an important town in the northwest, and in order to prevent the imperial court from suspecting you from colluding with each other, you have always been strangers and dare not have personal interactions. ”

Su Wang Zhu nodded again and said, "Not bad." ”

Ye Feng said: "So this gives the soil for rumors to grow. The two of you have been guarding the northwest for many years, but you have never had a personal relationship with each other, so rumors about the contradictions between you, and even the incompatibility of water and fire, and what one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, have spread very loudly. ”

King Su Zhu raised his eyebrows, and said in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner: "The gentleman is frank, the villain is a relative, this king has a clear conscience, why is he afraid of gossip?"

Ye Feng sighed: "It's a pity that this gossip has reached the ears of Song Xiaohou, and it seems that he is convinced of it. Therefore, all his resentment was concentrated on His Highness, and he vowed to avenge his father. ”

Su Wang Zhu's face changed, and Lord Zhou on the side also nodded and said: "Song Xiaohou Ye attacked the title at a young age, took charge of the northwest, and married Princess Ancheng, the pearl of the current emperor. I saw him behaving in Lanzhou City, quite arrogant and arrogant, and did not listen to people's words, to say that he mistakenly believed in the instigation of others, and hated His Royal Highness King Su, it is indeed possible. ”

Ye Feng turned his head to look at Ma Jing and continued: "This time, the emperor ordered him to come to the northwest to take charge of the troops, and ordered Master Ma to bring the black armor guard to Lanzhou, I think on the way, he has already planned a plan to deal with His Royal Highness King Su." First of all, he will definitely try to provoke the contradiction between His Royal Highness King Su and Lord Ma, so that you will be suspicious of each other. ”

Ma Jing nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, all the rumors about His Royal Highness King Su's so-called lawlessness in Lanzhou are almost all found by Song Xiaohou's subordinates

Know, I was about to investigate and verify them one by one, but it turned out that something happened without thinking about it. ”

Ye Feng turned his head to King Su Zhu and said, "As for His Royal Highness King Su, he doesn't actually have to do anything at all, the fact that Lord Ma took the black armor guard to serve as the supervisor of Lanzhou is already intriguing enough." What's more, this Lord Ma came to Lanzhou City, and he also went around to investigate and collect evidence of the so-called illegal acts of His Royal Highness King Su, but I am afraid that His Royal Highness King Su has already determined that Lord Ma is a secret order of the emperor to come to deal with him, right?"

Su Wang Zhu nodded and said faintly: "That's right, it's true. ”

Ye Feng had an unsurprising expression and said: "At this time, Song Xiaohou Ye has successfully separated the relationship between the two, and the second step left is that he will leave Lanzhou under the pretext of rectifying the military defense, and completely clear his suspicions first." ”

In fact, before this, he had already bribed the most trusted guard captain around Lord Ma, and as soon as he left Lanzhou, he poisoned Lord Ma's tea, so that the biggest suspect in Lanzhou City was naturally His Royal Highness King Su. ”

"But Master Ma can't die yet, because if Master Ma dies, the black-armored guards will have no leader, and they won't be able to set off any big storms. Moreover, this will also lead to a comprehensive investigation by the imperial court, and I am afraid that it will also bring trouble to Song Xiaohou himself. ”

Therefore, the amount of poison inflicted on Tsushima was precisely calculated, so that he could linger on the sickbed without being fatal. At the same time, he lured or coerced Imperial Doctor Jian, who was invited to treat Ma Da, and kept delaying not detoxifying Ma Da. ”

In this way, what he hopes is that Lord Ma will decide that His Royal Highness King Su is the real murderer who wants to poison and assassinate him, so as to provoke a battle between the Black Armor Guard and the King Su Guard, there are only more than 3,000 people in the King Su Guard, of course, it will never be the opponent of the Black Armor Guard, and Song Xiaohou himself can be bloodless and happy to see it. ”

Hearing this, thinking of the pain of his lingering sickbed for half a month, Ma Jing couldn't help but snort angrily.

Ye Feng glanced at him, and then said, "It's a pity that everything didn't develop according to his wishful thinking. Master Ma is cautious, even though he doubts His Royal Highness King Su in his heart, he has never acted rashly. ”

"And we also came to Lanzhou City at the right time, and also detoxified Master Ma. Song Xiaohou naturally knew that the so-called typhoid fever was all nonsense, and this showed that Imperial Physician Jian had been exposed, so he ordered the killer Mobeicheng to slaughter Imperial Physician Jian's entire family. ”

"Although Song Xiaohou's plan to provoke a fight between the Black Armor Guard and the Su Wang Guard did not succeed, the poisoning incident still gave him an excuse. So he decided to take matters into his own hands, saying that he wanted to seek justice for Master Ma, ordered 20,000 iron horsemen, and rushed to Lanzhou under the stars. ”

"The reason why so many soldiers and horses are needed, in addition to dealing with the Su Wang guards defending the city, also has to suppress the 10,000 black armor guards under the command of Lord Ma. And before he arrived in Lanzhou City, he sent someone to inform his own people in the city to withdraw from the city in advance, so I guessed that at this time, Lord Ma's guard captain and the killer Mobei City should be in the military camp of Song Xiaohou outside the city. ”

"Now, Song Xiaohou's army has arrived, Lanzhou City has fallen into siege, and now, I'm afraid that no one can stop him!"

After saying this in one breath, Ye Feng let out a long breath and said, "These should be the whole truth of Master Ma's poisoning case!"
