Su Wang Zhu Ao looked up at the two people in front of him, and his voice revealed an incomparably heavy voice: "Since the news of Ma Jianjun's poisoning spread, this king knows that there will be many people, including Ma Jianjun himself, who will suspect that this king instructed people to secretly poison him, the purpose of course is to dominate Lanzhou, and even want to split the territory and seal the territory, and have a heart of disobedience." ”

Ye Feng looked at King Su's eyes and asked slowly, "Then Your Highness, have you done this?"

Zhu Ao looked directly at Ye Feng with both eyes, there was no dodging in his eyes, and he was full of frank sincerity. He said categorically: "This king has never done it. ”

Ye Feng nodded, he believed King Su's words.

A person's expressions, movements, speech and demeanor may be deceiving, but his eyes will not. From the eyes, you can directly see what he is thinking, so those who lie will unconsciously avoid direct contact with others, or their eyes flicker, or look left and right to look elsewhere.

But Su Wang Zhu Ao didn't, he looked at Ye Feng's eyes frankly, there was no trace of concealment in it, a little panicked, so Ye Feng believed that what he said was true.

If he can even control his own eyes as he wants, then this person is so treacherous that he can't understand it with the concept of a normal person, and he won't be wronged if he is deceived.

Zhu Ao saw Ye Feng nodded, and there was a warmth in his eyes, as if he was grateful that Ye Feng would believe his words.

He went on to explain: "If this king wants to deal with the Ma Jian army, he will not use such a stupid method as secretly poisoning, right? Besides, even if this king wants to poison him, he won't let Ma Jianjun linger on the sickbed for so long without being fatal, and he has no other action, isn't he sitting and waiting for the black-armored guards under his command to come and fight with this king?"

These words were reasonable, and Ye Feng and Xie Zhenliang nodded frequently. I don't know why, when Zhu Ao mentioned the Black Armor Guard, Ye Feng's heart suddenly moved.

Zhu Ao then said: "This Lanzhou City was originally just a desolate small city, it was expanded to the current scale after the king moved in, brick by brick, and the people in the city also came here because they trusted the king, and they were like the king's people. The northwest border town has been in war for many years, and the people here finally have a stable and good life, living and working in peace and contentment, Lanzhou has now had the prosperity of the first important town in the northwest, all of which is the king's painstaking efforts in the past few years, even if it has been squeezed out, how can it take the initiative to provoke incidents, so that Lanzhou City is in danger of war again?"

Zhu Ao said these words sincerely and impassionedly, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes, which really couldn't help but make people not believe it.

Seeing Ye Feng's expressions, Su Wang Zhu Ao knew that they had already believed a little, and sighed and said: "It's a pity that no one can understand the hard work of this king, everyone still suspects that this king secretly poisoned it, and what is even more strange is that a famous doctor like Imperial Doctor Jian can't detoxify Ma Jianjun after more than ten days of diagnosis and treatment, which makes this king gradually feel that the situation is serious, and it is clear that someone deliberately framed him, wanting to provoke the contradictions and strife between this king and Ma Jianjun, so that he can profit from it." ”

Therefore, this king secretly installed reliable people to enter the Ma Mansion, lurked around the Ma Jian Army, and also monitored and investigated the personnel who entered and exited the Ma Mansion on a daily basis, just to ensure the safety of the Ma Jian Army and not give people the opportunity to harm the Ma Jian Army. ”

Zhu Ao smiled slightly when he said this: "So, when Ye Gongzi and you first went to visit Ma Jianjun, this king had already investigated your identity, origin, address, whereabouts, and so on. Although it was a bit rude, it really had to be for the safety of the Ma Jian Army. ”

He said it so bluntly and unabashedly, but it also solved the doubts in Ye Feng's heart, no wonder he knew his people so well!

However, he still had a question in his heart, and he never thought about it, so he asked at the moment: "Your Highness has repeatedly mentioned that we have helped Your Highness a lot, but the grass people really don't understand?"

Su Wang Zhu Ao smiled and said: "Yesterday, you asked Miss Cheng, the daughter of the divine doctor Cheng Sansi, to diagnose Ma Jianjun, but she said that Ma Jianjun was not poisoned, but accidentally infected with typhoid fever after eating and drinking. Although this king doesn't know what your intentions are in doing this, of course, Miss Cheng's medical skills will not lead to misjudging the disease, so this king guesses that you must have deliberately acted in such a scene in order to confuse the real murderer of the poison. ”

"Therefore, this king specially sent someone to send you some precious medicinal materials for the treatment of typhoid fever in public in a very high-profile manner, and cooperated with you to perform this play. Sure enough, it paid off this morning, after Ma Jianjun took the medicine prepared by Miss Cheng last night, his complexion was very good today, and it was obvious that the poison had been cured. However, because of the weakness of the body after a long illness, I still need to recuperate for a period of time. Ma Jianjun himself was full of praise for Miss Cheng's medical skills, and he was even more convinced of the theory of typhoid fever, so naturally he would no longer suspect that the king had secretly poisoned him. ”

Zhu Ao's eyebrows fluttered when he spoke, and his joy was overflowing: "You said, you not only relieved the Ma Jian Army of the poison, but also quietly cleared the suspicion of poisoning for the king, exempted a misunderstanding between the king and the Ma Jian army, and saved the people of Lanzhou from the suffering of a possible imminent war, wouldn't you do the king a great favor?"

He said happily here, but Ye Feng was ashamed when he heard it, and lowered his head and was silent for a while before he said: "Actually, the grass people made this decision, but they just wanted to make the real murderer who poisoned him think that he had a plan, and he could surprise him and disrupt his deployment. It is only when he messes up first, and we secretly observe the individual reactions of each person involved, that we can see some clues. ”

King Su Zhu Ao nodded and said, "Gao Ming, so you came to visit this king today, just to see what kind of reaction this king has?"

Ye Feng lowered his head and did not answer, but it was tantamount to acquiescing in the answer.

Zhu Ao smiled indifferently and said: "It doesn't matter, this king was caught in the center of this whirlpool, and he was the most suspicious person, and Ye Gongzi was the first to suspect this king, which is understandable." ”

He changed the topic and asked, "Now can Ye Gongzi believe in the innocence of this king?"

Ye Feng nodded, at this time, what else could he do besides nodding? In the face of His Royal Highness King Su, what else did he dare to say besides believing?

Zhu Ao said at this time: "Since Ye Gongzi believes in this king, then this king has one thing to ask Ye Gongzi to do, I hope you don't shirk it." ”

Ye Feng stood up, bowed down and said, "Please give orders from Your Highness, the grass people dare to disobey their orders." ”

Zhu Ao said: "I have heard for a long time that Ye Gongzi is thoughtful and wise, and he has repeatedly solved strange cases in recent years, and even won the favor of the emperor. This king wants to ask Ye Gongzi to secretly investigate the poisoning case of Ma Jianjun, and he must find out the real culprit who framed this king, so that the truth will be revealed to the world!"

In fact, even if Su Wang Zhu Ao didn't say it, Ye Feng would continue to investigate, Ma Jing was kind to him, no matter what, he would not let go of this person who dared to poison Ma Jing.

It's just that Zhu Ao is now proposing this face-to-face, which is a bit unexpected for Ye Feng.

So he respectfully bowed to King Su Zhu and replied, "Your Highness, please rest assured, the grass people will do their best." ”

Zhu Ao nodded with satisfaction, stretched out his hand to signal Ye Feng to take a seat, and said, "Since Ye Gongzi agreed, it is expected that it will be difficult for this poisoned person to escape, and this king is relieved." However, this king is a little curious, after Ye Gongzi and the few people around him are all important ministers in Beijing, why did they suddenly come from the capital to this barren land on the northwest border for no reason, is there anything important to do?"

Ye Feng replied: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I want to ask my friends in Lanzhou to help find someone." ”

Zhu Ao muttered: "Looking for someone? If you want to talk about the friends in the rivers and lakes of Lanzhou, the most prestigious ones are none other than Mr. Guan Si and Mr. Huangyue, these two people are very good at black and white in the northwest. This king and Mr. Arazuki also have some friendship, do you need this king to introduce Ye Gongzi to him?"

Ye Feng was overjoyed when he heard this, he came to Lanzhou this time to ask these two people to help, and now that the dignified prince is willing to introduce him on his behalf, he naturally can't ask for it.

Zhu Ao saw that his face was happy, so he stood up and walked to the desk, picked up the pen, dipped it in thick ink, and wrote a letter.

Turning around, he handed the letter to Ye Feng and said, "If you take this letter to Mr. Arazuki, he will know that you are the person I sent, and he should do his best to help." Besides, when you investigate the poisoning case of Ma Jianjun, you also need people around you, and he can do his best to help. ”

Ye Feng took the letter and thanked him repeatedly.

Su Wang Zhu Ao smiled and said: "Ye Gongzi, you have done this king such a big favor, this king owes you a great favor, what is the reason for a little thing?"

He exhaled deeply and said, "Please leave everything below to Ye Gongzi, if you need help, please come to this king." Only by getting rid of these treacherous villains who use despicable means for ulterior purposes can the situation in Lanzhou be truly stable, and the people of Lanzhou City can truly live a carefree and peaceful life. ”

Ye Feng nodded firmly and asked, "What is Your Highness going to do next?"

Su Wang Zhu Ao smiled bitterly and said: "Of course, I went to visit Ma Jianjun, who was recovering from a serious illness, many things in officialdom are like this, even if you know what the truth is, sometimes you have to pretend to be confused, many things on the scene, whether you like it or not, must be done." ”

He sighed, and looked at the cloudless blue sky in the room outside the hall: "I hope that Ma Jianjun can really eliminate the estrangement with this king, release the previous suspicions, and work together to build Lanzhou City into a more prosperous city, that is the luck of the people!"

Ye Feng, who was beside him, looked up at him, and suddenly felt that the body of King Su Zhu Hao seemed to be much taller than he actually was.

After walking out of King Su's Mansion, Ye Feng couldn't help but let out a long breath.

Xie Zhenliang, who was walking behind him, pondered all the way, and suddenly asked, "Fourth, do you really believe those words of King Su?"

Ye Feng turned around, looked at Xie Zhenliang, and said lightly: "I am willing to believe him." ”

His gaze crossed Xie Zhenliang and cast his eyes on the towering flagpole and archway in front of King Su's mansion, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, I hope what His Royal Highness King Su said is true.

Hope.
