Quick Travel: Love will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword
Chapter 37 Stop being a son-in-law 14
When Wu Cheng heard this, he looked up at her and said hesitantly, "What are your plans, Madam?" He was not willing to be subordinated to others, otherwise he would not have the guts to have this kind of thing happen with Zhang Cuihua.
With a mysterious look on her face, Zhang Cuihua pulled Wu Cheng up and said, "You have stayed in a wealthy family before. You must know that there is a medicine that can make people unable to sleep without them knowing it. I will give you some money and you can prepare it." , hurry up, otherwise we will both be dead when I show that I am pregnant."
Wu Cheng was still a little unbelievable, and then heard Zhang Cuihua say: "When the matter is completed, I will sell the two yards in the capital and take you to live happily. You are not a servant, and I am not a young lady. We want money and people, how about I give you a big fat boy and buy a bunch of servants to serve us so that you can have a taste of being a master."
When Wu Cheng heard this, his heart was filled with excitement. On one side there was a dead end and on the other side there was a broad road. He felt cruel and gritted his teeth and fought hard. He agreed, took the money from Zhang Cuihua, and started to go out to find a way out. He had stayed in the Marquis Mansion for a while before, and was sold out because he stole things because of his unclean hands and feet. He had also seen the secrets of the mansion. This kind of ready-made The medicine is not available, but it can still be obtained in pharmacies.
Zhang Luojia had an idea when she heard the concierge Xiaosi come to report that Wu Cheng had been going out a lot recently. She sent someone to find out which drugstores Hao Wucheng went to and what kind of medicine they probably got, and she made a conclusion in her mind.
Zhang Luojia started taking the medicine he prepared after reading medical books before. It was a chronic poison. Taking it for three to five days would be no big deal and would have no effect on the body. If he took it for a month, he would die quietly in his sleep.
Another day, the emperor was upset due to endless arguments in the court. Xuanzhi summoned Zhang Luojia to the imperial study. Before going out, Zhang Luojia took out the pills hidden in the brocade bag and ate them in one gulp. When he arrived at the imperial study, he told the emperor that the enemy was clear. When friends are undecided, lead them to kill your enemies. Without any effort, while the emperor was listening with great interest, he heard a "bang" and Pei Aiqing fell down, her face pale and she fell unconscious.
The emperor repeatedly called the imperial doctor to come closer and check. The white-bearded imperial doctor looked around and concluded that Academician Pei was poisoned.
The emperor was furious when he heard this. When he sat in the emperor's seat, what he hated most was poisoning by witches and other evil things. Besides, Pei Aiqing was really a rare talent at that time. He gritted his teeth and ordered the Imperial City Secretary to proceed. Check this matter!
The Imperial City Secretary's methods were so fast that while Zhang Cuihua was still having a sweet dream, a group of tall and powerful guards with knives broke into the room and took her away. Zhang Cuihua struggled endlessly and shouted in horror: "I am the No. 1 scholar's wife. You are a Japanese person, but how dare you do this to me."
The leader, an adult in Feiyu uniform, glanced at him, and then a guard came forward with a scabbard and slapped Zhang Cuihua hard on the face, "The Imperial City Department is handling the case, how dare you, a woman, to make a fuss?"
Blood overflowed from Zhang Cuihua's mouth. She coughed and spit out two broken teeth. Just as she was about to speak, she saw Wu Cheng being tied up in the courtyard. She was horrified. Knowing that the Dongchuang incident had happened, she no longer dared to struggle. She was as if she was a pile of rotten meat. Drag them out.
Seeing the scene in front of her, Mrs. Shao was so frightened that she couldn't stand still and leaned against the door frame. Two maids on the side rushed up to support her body, not even daring to breathe. Seeing Shao's appearance, the leader stepped forward and nodded and said, "This must be Mrs. Pei. I am Lu Yan, the deputy commander of the Imperial City Department. I was ordered by the emperor to investigate the case of Bachelor Pei's poisoning. Now the evidence points to the case. Young Madam Zhang, please forgive me for causing inconvenience to Madam Pei." After saying this, he strode out of the door without waiting for Shao's reply.
Bachelor Pei? Could it be Ashang? Shao's heart was broken when he heard this, and his blood surged and he fainted again. Shi Mo watched coldly from the side and sighed for the young and promising Pei Shang. It was not easy for the master to achieve what he did now with such an incompetent mother.
Zhang Luojia woke up slowly, and the little eunuch who had been waiting next to him shouted in surprise, "Scholar Pei is awake, Bachelor Pei is awake." Immediately, the doctors serving in the outer room filed in. They looked at Zhang Luojia's face and took his pulse. Looking at each other, they all smiled and said: "Scholar Pei is fine now. He just needs to cultivate himself for a few days and eliminate the remaining toxins. Then he will be fine."
Zhang Luojia looked confused and held his forehead with both hands, as if in pain. "What's wrong with me? Am I not meeting the Holy Spirit? Why do I feel some pain in my head?"
The emperor got the news and hurried over. After seeing Zhang Luojia, he struggled to get up to say hello, but was pressed down by the emperor. The imperial doctor hurriedly stepped forward and replied, "Your Majesty, Mr. Pei is fine now. He just woke up from a coma and is still a little weak. I will prescribe a few more medicines and Mr. Pei will be able to pass it out in less than ten days." Remaining poison.”
The emperor asked a few more concerned questions, sent the imperial doctors away, and summoned the Imperial City Secretary Lu Yan to the palace for an audience.
Lu Yan had been waiting outside the palace gate for a long time. When he came in, he saw the emperor with a serious face. He knelt down and saluted and then presented the confession that he had tortured all night long: "Back to the emperor, my subordinates have already investigated clearly. Zhang and his servant Wu Cheng have committed adultery." She was pregnant, and because Master Pei was resentful for ignoring her, he wanted to secretly get rid of Master Pei and Mrs. Pei, and then take their family property and live in seclusion. Wu Cheng bought herbs from several pharmacies in the city to make poison, and the medicinal properties were the same as Master Pei's. The poison in them is almost the same. There are purchase records in the drugstore, the evidence is conclusive, and the two people also signed and signed it."
The emperor looked at the testimony in his hand, his face was gloomy, and he said: "Resentful? I think she is not only resentful of Jinzhi, but also resentful of me."
Zhang Luojia hurriedly got up and knelt down on the bed, saying pitifully, "It's my fault that I'm not strict in running the family. Your Majesty, don't be angry and hurt yourself."
The emperor looked at Pei Shang on the bed, with a pale and sick look on his face. He knelt on the bed, not daring to raise his head, and begged himself not to be angry. He is obviously just a boy of 17 or 18 years old. His father died young and his widowed mother could not support herself. She had to struggle all by herself until now. She was plotted along the way and married such a shabby woman. He was also cuckolded!
What a blow this was to the proud young man. If this poisonous woman succeeded, wouldn't he be missing a right-hand man? The emperor had various thoughts, and at the same time he felt pity in his heart and thought that he had to fight his way through a group of dragons and grandsons. At least he had a strong maternal family to support him all the way, and his situation was much better than Pei Shang's.
"Get up quickly, what does this matter have to do with you? After all, you are still young and have never seen so many dirty things. Come on, please pass on the order! Zhang has no regard for human relations and has evil thoughts. He actually dares to poison someone. My mother-in-law and my husband-in-law did not abide by the laws of women, and they dared to show their pride by committing adultery with their servants. This matter should not be taken lightly, and must be punished with death. Cutting into pieces with thousands of swords is not enough to relieve hatred. Killing one person will serve as a warning to hundreds, and it will serve as a warning to others."
