General, this plot is wrong

The queen is dead.

In the palace of the Empress Dowager, the empress ate persimmons that had been doused with arsenic, bleeding from her orifices on the spot, and died of poisoning.

The one who ate the persimmon cakes with the empress was Gao Shi, the wife of the head of the country, Qiu He, who was also the grandmother of the Empress Qiu Shi.Mrs. Gao was old, and after the arsenic poisoned her, she stopped breathing before she even had time to speak.

As for the Empress Dowager, because she had a toothache recently, she only ate a small piece of other snacks, and escaped unharmed by luck.

In Qiu's mansion, Qiu He heard about this, immediately overturned the delicacies on the table, and even kicked away the concubine beside him.

Qiu Xin is Xiu Mu today, drinking and dancing with his father with his brothers, seeing the eyeliner from the palace getting angry because of Qiu Gu, kneeling on the ground and shivering, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart.

"Idiot!" Qiu He scolded, "That's the drugged persimmon for King Yuan and the Emperor, it's not arsenic at all, how could they..."

Several beautiful concubines in the house knelt down on the ground, listening with pricked ears, after clinker Qiu Guzhi said these few words, they became impatient and kept silent, only took a few breaths, and said sternly: "Go and get my Official robes! Boss, you lead people into the palace first, and kill all the eunuchs and eunuchs who witnessed this! No one needs to be left behind!"

Qiu Xin immediately knelt down, clenched his fists, and hesitated for a moment: "But those palace people are mostly from the empress dowager. The empress dowager is old, I'm afraid she can't bear this fright..."

Qiu He squinted his eyes: "So what? It's better to strike first than to be put on the neck with a knife, but still be powerless to resist."

After he finished speaking, he called out to the second child again: "Surround the Qiu mansion with people. No one is allowed to enter or leave. If someone comes from the palace." He paused, glanced at the several sons who were gathered together, and finally expressed his compassion His gaze stayed on Lao Wu, "If someone comes to the palace, hand over Lao Wu."

"Father!"

The fifth concubine, who was also the biological father of Qiu Jiulang, a pawn abandoned by the Qiu family, looked up at Qiu He with a face full of astonishment.It's hard to believe what horrible things I've heard.

Qiu He's words made the rest of the sons tremble in their hearts, but they immediately understood what he meant, and immediately looked fiercely: "Old Wu, how could you feel resentment for the death of Jiulang, and plan to poison the royal family! What happened today Rao, Dad can't protect you!"

Afterwards, without waiting for Wufang to struggle any more, the brothers personally covered his mouth and nose, bound his limbs and threw him into the firewood shed in the backyard.

After finishing all this, Qiu Xin led the troops to the palace.The rest of the brothers stayed in the mansion and silenced all the concubines and dancers who had just heard the secret.

Those women who were young and beautiful a moment ago, clinging to their sides and panting softly, now all stared at their eyes, and were thrown into an abandoned deep well in the farthest corner of the backyard.

There were already piles of bones mixed with mud, but a few more corpses were added, and for the Qiu family, that was all.

After all, Qiu Xin was one step too late. When he arrived at the palace, the Empress Dowager had already been comforted and fell asleep. Zhao Yin, under the name of Zhao Zhen, had already imprisoned all the palace eunuchs in the Empress Dowager's Palace who had witnessed this incident. , and also mobilized the people of the Regent's Palace to keep an eye on every person from the Pharmacy Bureau who entered and exited the palace.

Qiu Xin wanted to kill, but he didn't even have the chance to draw the knife, so he asked Zhao Zhen to take it.

The young and timid little emperor straightened his back for the first time, and told what happened before.

Finally, he called Yinhua, the eunuch beside him, to tie Qiu Xin's hands.

"Feng Yu, who took the pulse of the Queen and Mrs. Gao, said that they died after eating arsenic. All the snacks on the table were inspected by the Pharmacy Bureau in front of me, and the arsenic was dropped on the persimmons. And these persimmons were left by Mrs. Gao when she visited the queen in the palace, and then sent to my imperial study by the queen! At that time, I was discussing with the emperor's uncle in the imperial study. If the emperor hadn't known about the empress dowager I have always loved persimmons, so I came to see the Empress Dowager together with me, but I didn't know that the Empress and the old lady had also arrived in the Empress Dowager's palace."

When Qiu Xin heard this, his face turned livid, and he subconsciously looked at Zhao Yin.

The medicine in the dried persimmons was planted by them. It is needless to say what the purpose is, but they did not intend to kill people from the beginning, so it must not be arsenic.But why, the medicine in the persimmons would be replaced by arsenic, and... would be eaten by them without any mistakes...

"I didn't know that the Qiu family couldn't help wanting to poison me and the emperor! If it wasn't for the coincidence that I brought persimmons to see the empress dowager, would they poison me and the emperor to death in the imperial study room?" Li! Such a wolfish ambition, such a Qiu family! The late emperor tolerated you, but I can't tolerate you for a moment!"

"Your Majesty! The poison in the persimmon is not us..."

"Who is it if it's not the Qiu family? Are you going to say it's the emperor's uncle?" Zhao Zhen was furious, and the innocent face of the young man was covered with anger. The imperial grandmother is the persimmon cake that I personally ordered the palace servants to put on a plate, don't you want to say that it was the emperor uncle and I who deliberately wanted to poison the imperial grandmother to death!"

Qiu Xin couldn't argue, his face was so ugly that Zhao Zhen felt sad, and immediately ordered someone to take Qiu Xin and the soldiers standing outside the hall away.

"Yinhua." The eunuch whose name was called took a step forward, Zhao Zhen looked at him, and suddenly smiled sadly, "Fortunately, my cousin left me a man, otherwise, it would be really difficult for me to be in this palace." The only thing is that they are unarmed, and they almost don't even have the strength to restrain these people."

Yinhua comforted her in a low voice, and then heard Zhao Zhen ask: "Tell me, did the emperor take someone down?"

"It should be taken down."

Outside the Qiu Mansion, the soldiers and horses of the Regent Zhao Yin had surrounded the entire mansion without anyone noticing.

Seeing the fifth son who died in front of the door with an arrow piercing through his chest, the Qiu family brothers finally remembered that the regent in front of him, even though he was only a prince who had stayed away from the court when he was a teenager, was the emperor himself who said, The parent and child of my son.

Looking at the terrified Qiu family brothers on the big horse, the young regent smiled and looked at them with fixed eyes.

"The Qiu family is full of families, intending to treason, the evidence is solid." He said, "You guys, just arrest them without your hands."

No one will ever know how many people he has placed in Yandu these years.The moment Gao Shi gave the medicine after passing Qiu He's nod, the news had already reached him, not to mention how many of the palace eunuchs who served all the year round in the Empress Dowager's palace were slowly placed and trained by him. Out of the eyeliner.

It was just a different medicine. From the moment the persimmons were put on the table, his purpose was not just to poison the queen and Gao.

Looking at the high hanging plaque of the Qiu Mansion, Zhao Yin raised his hand, bent his bow and shot an arrow, and stuck the arrow firmly into the plaque.

The sudden impact of external force knocked the plaque down from the door.

Once the Qiu family fell, his enemies would be reduced.

very nice.

This change in Yandu did not have time to spread to the south of the Yangtze River and the vassal states of the princes.

The heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River is still as usual, and it doesn't mean to stop at all.

A carriage entered Yuncheng under the pouring rain and stopped in front of a restaurant in the city.

"Lang Jun." Shao Aniu hesitantly called Chu Heng who got off the carriage and was about to go to the restaurant, "Do you want to..."

Chu Heng glanced at Ruoyou Ruowu who looked over at the door, and hummed lightly.Shao Aniu got the order and pulled the carriage back under the guidance of the waiter.

I got an invitation card from the new prefect yesterday, and I'm afraid he came here for Yun Shan Tang.

Not everyone in Gui's family would recognize him, Chu Heng was wary in his heart, and naturally he had people around him. The 15 personal guards of Prince Qing's Mansion had already found their own places to wait, and only waited for the prefect Gui to get impatient, and then acted first.

Since Zhao Zhen came to the throne, Dayan does not seem to have had a smooth day.The heavy rain in the south of the Yangtze River made the people doubt the new king even more.What is even more suspicious is the prefect Gui who was transferred to Yangzhou.

The common people will not know who this person is, who they are attached to, and whether they have the same heart with the emperor.They only know that this person is rampant in Yangzhou, causing trouble and turning black and white.

The first time Chu Heng saw Prefect Gui, he saw that he was a greedy villain.

It's even more annoying than Katsura 21ro.

This person was straightforward, and he said bluntly that he wanted Chu Heng to give up Yunshantang, saying that he had taken a fancy to that mountain and the Wentang spring on it, and moved out of Yanduqiu's house, and asked Chu Heng to think about whether to let it go or not. not to let.

"Why let it go?"

Chu Heng smiled and tasted the tea in his hand.

The man opposite widened his eyes.

"Sir, if you want Chu's Yunshan soup, shouldn't you show sincerity to buy it?" Chu Heng raised his eyes, his phoenix eyes were slightly raised, with a half-smile, "It doesn't matter if Chu sells Yunshan soup or not, this Yunshan The soup is in my Bieyun Mountain Villa. If you want a hot spring and that mountain, you have to enter and leave the mountain villa. Why do you want outsiders to come in and out of Chu’s territory?"

"You don't want to toast and eat fine wine!"

Gui Taishou jumped up against the table, shouted, and someone outside immediately responded with a loud voice.

However, Chu Heng's expression became more and more secretive.After a long while, the guards of the prefect's mansion who were supposed to rush in from outside the door didn't even move at all.

At this time, Gui Taishou finally belatedly felt a chill down his spine.

"You... who are you?"

Chu Heng put down the tea bowl, and Bai Shu beside him handed over the handkerchief: "I'm just a white body, and I'm lucky to have a few brothers from Prince Qing's Mansion in my hand, who happen to be able to cure you."

Chu Heng's words made Wuwei, who was following beside him, couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth until he met Bai Shu's eyes, then coughed twice, and stared at Prefect Gui.

"Yunshan Soup belongs to Bieyun Villa. If you have money, you can buy the whole villa, and we can talk to you politely. We brought people and horses to hide nearby. It is obvious that we want to rob us!"

"I just want to take it by force!"

Prefect Gui leaped forward, pushed away Bai Shu who was blocking Chu Heng, and stretched out his hand to grab Chu Heng.

Chu Heng went to touch the silver needle on his waist, but the Gui prefect moved one step faster, clasped his wrist with one hand, and was about to grab his neck with the other.

Wuwei yelled, the door was kicked open from the outside, and Shao Aniu rushed in with someone.

Everyone thought that when they entered the house, they would see Chu Sanlang who was a little dazed after being caught.

However, Chu Heng's expression just changed. Although he had no time to touch the silver needle in the future, when his wrist was twisted, something flew out of his cuff.

"Well!"

With a muffled groan, the man who grabbed his wrist let go of his hand to cover his heart, staggered back a few steps, and knelt down on the ground with a face full of disbelief.

With a sound of "dong", the back of his head landed on the ground, his eyes were wide open, and he was completely out of breath.

"Sauro!"

"It's okay." Chu Heng waved his hand, opened his sleeve, revealing the arrow in the sleeve tied to his forearm, "Someone made something with his own hands, it's for self-defense, I didn't expect that this adult would pull the trigger by mistake."

The arrow in the sleeve is a weapon made by Lu Ting himself when he returned to Yancheng.Because of its small size and light weight, it was tied to Chu Heng's left forearm from the very beginning.Lu Ting taught him how to use the arrow in his sleeve, but this was just in case from beginning to end.

This just in case should not have happened at this time.

Chu Heng rubbed the center of his brows, looked at the governor of Yangzhou who came after hearing the news after being alarmed, and sighed with a headache.

Killing the imperial court official seemed to cause him a lot of trouble just in case.

Far away from the mountains, in a small barren city outside the pass that was temporarily settled for rectification, Lu Ting was startled, and the water bag in his hand suddenly fell to the ground.

"General?" The lieutenant picked up the water bag in surprise, patted the sand on it, and hung it back on Jiyou's horse.

"It's nothing." Lu Ting shook his head, turned around to look at the sky covered with clouds behind him.That direction is Dayan.

"General!"

A scout came galloping on horseback, and the raised dust covered the faces of the resting guards on both sides.

"General, the mark left by the prince is found ahead!"
