Vendetta

Poisonous scorpions in the south of the Yangtze River were rampant. Many people were stung by poisonous scorpions and died after being poisoned. However, the upstream towns near Huaishan School were hardly affected.

When he came to Shaoshui County, Fu Ling saw what is called "human misfortune". He sat in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked out. There was no market at all along the way, only refugees, old people, women and children supporting each other, poisoned people His eyes were dazed and lifeless, his skin was black and purple, and lifeless.

The distance between here and the Huaishan School is only a few tens of miles, but there is a world of difference.

When approaching Shaoshui County, the group was blocked by rebel refugees.

There is no detoxification method for this scorpion poison at present, but the medication can be delayed, as long as you keep taking the warming and tonic medicine, you can live without fear for several months.

However, ordinary people have been poisoned, how many families can survive such spending money on medicine?There is no money to treat diseases and sell medicines, or someone in the family is poisoned, and they have lost their property to cure the poison. After selling money and land, the desperate people gathered together and formed a "righteous heart society", led by a quack, Stealing from the rich and helping the poor all the way, under the guise of asking for an explanation from the imperial court, which doesn't care about the lives of the people.

"The dog court doesn't care about me waiting for life or death! The poisonous scorpions have been flooding for so long and no one cares about them!"

"Not only don't you care, but you have to pay taxes in such a situation!"

"The one sitting in the carriage must be a corrupt official, come out!"

"The Huaishan faction is helping the imperial court to suppress us, and will not give us a way out! The Jianghu are as black-hearted as the imperial court!"

"These people are either rich or expensive. If you rob them, you will not have to worry about having no money to buy medicine for a few days!"

Seven or eight people surrounded the carriage, holding axes, hoes, and kitchen knives in their hands.

"The Huaishan faction once encircled and suppressed the rebellion in the name of eliminating the rebellion. Later, due to the flood of poisonous scorpions, several disciples were accidentally stung. The Huaishan faction didn't bother to take care of them and let them make trouble. If you don't open, you won't be able to make trouble in the territory of the Huaishan faction, but the suppression can only relieve temporary troubles, but it is hard to calm people's hearts." Yan Zhu glanced outside the carriage, and said to Fu Ling: "There are not many people, Li Zhong should Can be solved."

Li Zhong rode a horse and followed outside the carriage, and said loudly: "This is the carriage of the Third Prince. Your Highness is here to solve the poisoning issue. Please rest assured, Your Highness will definitely give an explanation to the people."

Some people below didn't believe it: "Who knows if this is the third prince? Why did the third prince come here?"

"That's right, the court doesn't care, what can the third prince do when he comes?"

"It's probably here to exploit the money. A few days ago, it was said that an imperial envoy came, and he didn't even show his face!"

Li Zhong tried to persuade him again, but these people didn't listen to them at all, and decided that they had bad intentions. Two courageous ones even stepped forward with shovels, which made the horse stick its hooves in shock, and there was a violent shock in the carriage. Zhen, Yan Zhu dragged Fuling into his arms, and shouted out of the carriage: "Li Zhong!"

"Your subordinate is here!" Li Zhong cut off the man's shovel with his sword, and the hidden guard dressed as a servant stepped forward and slapped it with his palm. The man with the shovel handle flew more than ten feet away, and the rest of them quickly followed step back.

"You guys are rebelling, and you should be punished for your crimes. Now leave on your own. Your Highness is kind and will not pursue it." Li Zhong held his sword and said, "But if you don't leave, I will kill you immediately!"

These few people found that it was a hard bone, and they set up the man who couldn't get up on the ground, and quickly ran away.

Li Zhong asked inside the carriage: "This subordinate has neglected his duties, and you have surprised the young master."

Fu Ling stayed in Yan Zhu's arms, and said with a smile: "It's all right, your son is generous, you don't care about it."

Qiu Yi, who was also sitting in the carriage, squinted at Fu Ling: "You have to show some face, no bones grow on her, right?"

Fu Ling burrowed into Yan Zhu's arms: "What do you care about so much? Mr. Yan knows if I have any bones."

Yan Zhu hugged the twisting person in his arms, and said softly: "Don't make trouble."

"What a hot eye," Qiu Yi regretted. "I'd rather ride a horse outside and be shoveled to death by a shovel than sit here and watch you two."

When they arrived in Shaoshui County, the imperial envoy sent by the imperial court had already arrived first, and they took people to greet them at the post station.

"Master Qian has been waiting for a long time."

"The humble minister Qian Heng pays homage to the third prince." Qian Heng knelt down with all the people behind him. He just turned [-] this year, his facial features are upright, and he is the servant of the household department.

"Excuse me." Yan Zhu nodded, turned around and wanted to reach out to help the person in the carriage, but the person inside had jumped down by himself.

Yan Zhu frowned, what's the fuss about this injury?But because someone was there, he didn't talk about him.

Fu Ling stood beside Yan Zhu. Because of his injuries recently, he basically wore clothes prepared by Yan Zhu. The soft cotton wide-sleeved shirt was elegant in color but hard to hide his appearance. The Longya knife was wrapped in cloth and carried behind his back. It looked like a musician accompanying him.

But this musician's appearance is too amazing, and he can ride in the same car with Yan Zhu... Qian Heng just glanced at it, and immediately lowered his head, how could a courtier dare to pry into the prince's private affairs?

Fu Ling probably never imagined that he, who knows nothing about rhythm and music, would be regarded as a musician one day.

Among other things, he can be seen from this face, how can he have the temperament of a literati?

Yan Zhu, Fu Ling, Qiu Yi, Li Zhong, and a group of hidden guards dressed as servants followed Qian Heng into the post house.

"Wei Chen has sent people to investigate these few days, this..." Qian Heng paused, looked at Fu Ling who was beside Yan Zhu, now it was time to discuss the business, how could a musician stay here?

Fu Ling noticed his gaze, nodded suddenly, and said to Qiu Yi: "Now His Highness is going to talk about business, you should step back."

Qiu Yi: "..."

Qian Heng: "..."

Yan Zhu suppressed the raised corners of his mouth: "It's okay, just say what you say."

"Yes." Qian Heng thought to himself that the rumors were wrong, how could the third prince not be close to beauty?The second prince knew that he had to retreat to the left and right.

Thinking of this, Qian Heng no longer respected him as much as before. Qian Heng continued: "The flood has subsided three months ago, and all the money and food distributed by the imperial court have been distributed to the localities, but..."

Yan Zhu said: "It's just that the refugee uprising has not subsided?"

"Yes." Qian Heng nodded.

Fu Ling said: "Of course it can't calm down. The people here are not hungry. Can eating alone detoxify?"

Qian Heng didn't expect Fu Ling to know so much, this musician is so courageous, he dared to interrupt when his master was talking, seeing that Yan Zhu was not even half dissatisfied, he didn't dare to speak out to reprimand him.

It seems that this musician is very favored.

Yan Zhu put down the teacup, and said sternly: "You have been in Shaoshui County for a few days, but you didn't find out that the refugees are because of the flood?"

His words were so powerful that Qian Heng couldn't help shaking his body, "I found out, it's not because of the flood, but because of some kind of poisonous insect poisoning. The poison is very strong, and I haven't found a way to detoxify... "

"Where is the county magistrate of Shaoshui County?" Yan Zhu raised his voice with anger, "As a local official, what crime should I have for lying about the disaster situation!"

Qian Heng wiped off his cold sweat, and said, "The county magistrate of Shaoshui County was also poisoned, and died three days ago."

Yan Zhu asked: "What about the magistrate who manages this county?"

Qian Heng replied: "The magistrate Zhou Qi knows that His Highness is coming, and he is already on his way. At this time, it should be..."

"His Royal Highness, Your Excellency, Zhou Zhifu has brought people out to seek an audience."

Yan Zhu said: "Let him in."

Zhou Qi is over forty years old. Unlike Qian Heng, who has no strength to restrain a chicken, he is not thin. With a sword on his waist, he walked in with big strides. After he came in, he saw Fu Ling for the first time. Suddenly, he forgot to salute.

He never imagined that there is such a beauty in the world!

Fu Ling rolled her eyes: "What a fart."

Qian Heng coughed lightly: "Master Zhou."

Only then did Zhou Qi react, and when he looked up, he found that Yan Zhu was looking at him with murderous intent, he hurriedly saluted and said, "My minister Zhou Qi pays homage to the third prince."

"Exemption," Yan Zhu narrowed his eyes, and asked directly: "Do you know about the poisonous insects in Shaoshui County? Why didn't you report it truthfully!"

Zhou Qidao: "It's all the fault of the county magistrate of Shaoshui County, who dared to deceive the court. This official only found out in the past few days, and has already sent people to control it."

Fu Ling sneered: "Put all the faults on the dead, and the righteousness meeting of the uprising will go to the gate of the county government. You only found out a few days ago. Why did you go earlier?"

Zhou Qi was speechless: "This..."

Yan Zhu said: "I ask you, how do you control it?"

"In order to prevent the poisoned people from hurting others, the minister separated the poisoned people, kept the people at home, reduced the possibility of poisoning, and banned fishing and markets..."

Yan Zhu interrupted him: "Do you know what it was because of the poisoning?"

Zhou Qi was stunned: "It is said that it is schistosomiasis. There is a lot of water in the south of the Yangtze River, and schistosomiasis is not uncommon in the downstream. It may also be other poisonous insects. Further investigation is needed..."

"The refugee uprising has been fought for more than ten miles outside! Still waiting for inspection?" Yan Zhu was so angry that he dropped the teacup, "The poisoning this time was not caused by water bugs at all. Shaoshui County relies on water for water. You cut off the fishing ban. This is Cut off the livelihood of the people!"

Zhou Qi immediately knelt on the ground: "It's the humble minister who is incompetent, I will definitely send someone to investigate when I go back..."

After all, he was still talking in an official tone, and he didn't say how to solve the problem.

Yan Zhu said: "Check it out for me now! Find out the number of people poisoned, symptoms, when and where it started, and report it!"

"Yes, I'm going to investigate right now." Zhou Qi got up from the ground in a hurry, shaking his whole body, and he didn't forget to take another look at Fu Ling before leaving.

Fu Ling: "You don't want the dog official's eyes anymore, do you?"

"If he dares to covet you, I will tell him not to take his life." Yan Zhu lowered his voice, and then said to Qian Heng: "Master Qian, go and check whether the amount of money and food provided by the court for disaster relief is correct."

Qian Heng thought that the wind blowing on this beauty's pillow was really strong, and the fourth-rank court ordered the third prince to kill him if he said so, he quickly responded: "Yes, I will go now."

After everyone went down, Fu Ling went to hold Yan Zhu's hand, "Don't be angry."

Yan Zhu sighed, and took his hand, "I'm not angry, such a big incident happened, this person doesn't think about how to solve the problem, only thinks about how to shirk responsibility, it's common for local officials to eat vegetarian food, but it shouldn't be It’s normal, it shouldn’t be like this.”

Fu Ling said: "Aren't they just relying on the Huaishan faction as their backer? Does Zhou Qi have anything to do with it?"

Yan Zhu continued: "He is Mrs. Han Bin's distant cousin."

Fu Ling nodded: "The Han family is really powerful in the south of the Yangtze River. The emperor doesn't care if the rivers and lakes get involved in the court?"

Yan Zhu shook his head: "Father only wants peace in front of him, and doesn't want to cause disputes."

But this is not a long-term solution.

The imperial court is weak, the second prince and the Huaishan School are ambitious, and the Tongtian Sect is lurking in the dark, waiting for an opportunity.

There are ills everywhere in this world. The strong bully the weak.

"Yan Zhu, do you want to be emperor?"

There was a ray of light in Yan Zhu's eyes, not the desire for power and obsession, but a look that should have been like this. He sat in this not too spacious room, but it seemed that the mountains and rivers were completely covered. Take a closer look.

Yes, as it should be.

He was born as a real dragon, so he should be above the nine heavens.

"I will help you. If you want this country, I will help you win the throne. If you want this world, I will help you suppress martial arts."

"No matter what you want to do, I will help you remove all obstacles, and no one in this world can stop you."

"I know those things well," Yan Zhu smiled, and said softly, "I only have one request for you."

Fu Ling said seriously, "Say it."

Yan Zhu hugged him into his arms: "I want you to stay by my side forever."
