Classmate, he always spread dog food with the tyrant

When the Imperial College was over from school, the superintendents rushed out and found many court officials standing by the gate, all looking around anxiously.

The prison students were naturally a little bit confused, their families were busy, and most of the people who came to pick them up were servants, why did they behave uncharacteristically today?

There was an official who often went to Qi's house and knew Qi You. When he saw Qi You passing by, he quickly grabbed his sleeve and said, "Ah You, I see that you are all gone from school. Why hasn't Chaoyang come out yet? He hasn't come home for two or three days. Now, what's going on here?"

Qi You took a deep breath: "They went to Beijing a few days ago, and they heard that they were arrested and taken into the Wucheng Bingma Division. Can you go there and look for it?"

"Hey, I've been back and forth three times." The official in court uniform wiped the sweat from his forehead: "People over there said that they were only detained for one night, and they were released long ago. Go to Zhao's house and ask, Zhao Zhao is also at home, why didn't Chaoyang come back?"

"This..." Qi You pondered, "I'm not on the same level as him, I haven't seen him for several days, you can ask someone else."

The man sighed, and had no choice but to stand by the side of the road, watching the students coming and going.

Qi You didn't stay long, went directly into the palace, and told Yong Chi about the parade: "Do you know about this?"

"I know." Yong Chi shook his head and said, "These students should be taught a lesson. They are causing trouble. It is not an exaggeration for Bing Masi to lock them up."

Yongchi's secret guards were almost all over the capital, so he naturally found out about it quickly, but before he gave an order, the soldiers and horses had already locked up the students in order to calm things down.

The Bingma Division is not as gloomy as the imperial prison, and keeping people here proves that things can be big or small.

Yong Chi felt that the handling was not inappropriate, so he didn't ask too much.

Qi You was silent.

"Ah You came to intercede for your classmates?" Yong Chi hugged him and kissed him: "I just punished them lightly, and I won't really kill them. After a few days in prison, I will be more honest after I come out. "

"They may not be able to get out." Qi You looked a little sad, shook his head at Yong Chi and said: "After a night in prison, it's gone."

Yong Chi was also very surprised, thought for a while and said: "Those students have some backgrounds, and the soldiers and horses normally dare not lay hands on them, and I have no intention. Could it be that they executed the punishment in private?"

Qi You shook his head, hesitated for a moment, and still quietly told Yong Chi about Lu Weishi's affairs.

"I can't think of why Lu Weishi would do this." Qi You paused for a moment: "I just read the money grass from the book occasionally, and I can't be sure."

Yong Chi pondered for a while, then turned his head and ordered: "Go to the prison and bring some wounded death row prisoners."

Qi You couldn't help but said: "This is to..."

Yong Chien said kindly, and explained in a warm voice: "Now it's the end of autumn, and there are many death row prisoners in the prison. For them, this is much more kind than going to the execution ground."

Qi You breathed a sigh of relief, comforting himself that it was a different way of executing the death penalty.

Immediately, someone took the order to execute it, and the next day, they came to report that all those people died of poisoning, and there were signs of scratching and festering near the wounds.

Yong Chi's heart sank, he was somewhat prepared.

"The grass was indeed given by Lu Weishi?"

"He gave it to you." Qi You hesitated for a moment, but still expressed his worries: "But I asked him for a pot yesterday, and I don't know if he will become wary and come to a golden cicada to get rid of its shell."

Yong Chi pondered: "It's better for us to act first in this matter."

"Pass the decree to Bingmasi, there is no need to cover up this matter." Yong Chi said slowly: "Inform the father and brother who will die and supervise the birth, let them... go to Bingmasi."

On the second day of court, Yong Chi just took his seat, and the crowd was full of enthusiasm.

An old minister with a white beard stood up tremblingly, his tone could not hide his sadness: "Your Majesty, I have impeached Bingmasi. The three generations of my family have just passed on to me. I just went to collect the body of my grandson yesterday. I don't want to be rude, but I have to. Do not ask His Majesty for an explanation!"

Before Yong Chi could answer, a different courtier stood up to make a statement, and what he said was almost the same as that of the old courtier.

Naturally, they didn't want to quarrel with Yong Chi to the point where it couldn't end. They just watched their own son who was alive and kicking yesterday, and today he was cold and silent. Naturally, they couldn't hide their grief and anger, and wanted to ask for an explanation.

Guilt flashed in Yong Chi's eyes: "You all know that these students had a riot in the street before, and Bingmasi wanted to calm things down, so he temporarily detained them."

"It's just that I never thought that they would carry out punishment," Yong Chi said, "I have asked Bing Ma Si to come to the hall, and I will ask him personally!"

The soldiers and horses walked into the court tremblingly, knelt down and said: "I don't have an imperial decree, how can I have the courage to punish you young masters? Besides, even if torture is used, it can't be killed overnight without any reason. More than a dozen people, and on the same day, the minister announced to the doctor to check, and the doctor said...that it seems to be poisonous on the body, please let your majesty know."

The old minister immediately said: "I don't think so, I think they must have done this intentionally, Your Majesty wants to abolish the grace system, these students openly oppose, naturally there are those who try to figure out the holy will, and want to get rid of these people and then quickly .”

All the ministers gasped unconsciously. This man clearly implied that this matter was ordered by Yong Chi, and he was so righteous that he might have been stunned by despair.

Yong Chi was not angry, but said: "I have no such intentions, and these students are all going to take the imperial examination next year, how can I kill talented people?"

He glanced at the group of officials, and said in a low voice: "There is still something strange about this matter, I will investigate it clearly and give you an explanation. You love ministers also pay attention, it is inevitable that there are clues somewhere?"

"Since your majesty said so, I beg your majesty to allow you to enter the army and horses to search and investigate." An official from the Ministry of punishment immediately said: "I have many years of experience in investigating cases. If there are still doubts about what your majesty said, my minister It will definitely be found out."

This remark hit Yong Chi's heart, if the evidence was presented directly, these people would definitely not believe it, and even suspected that such a strange thing must be impossible, it would be better if they found out it themselves.

"Lu Xiang?" After going down, someone saw that Lu Ming was distracted, and couldn't help calling him, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." Lu Ming coughed lightly: "I'm just sad for those children. They are all at a good age. It's the old man's incompetence that didn't save them."

After hearing this, the officials in the past all began to comfort each other: "Don't blame yourself, Prime Minister Lu, how can you be blamed for this matter? Sigh... In the end, it's not the soldiers and ruffians of Bingmasi who are showing off their power in the capital all day long. I haven't done anything in my business, but I just bully the children here every day."

"We don't need to make a conclusion prematurely, isn't it to say that there is something wrong with this matter?" An official said: "Since His Majesty gave us the opportunity to investigate the case, we must seize it firmly. This is also to return the children's innocence." ah!"

"You're right, you're right, let's go to the prison first."

Lu Ming sighed: "The old man will go with you, and I will do my part at that time."

Bingmasi's cell is still furnished as it was, and it has been decorated with things from Lu Weishi. It is very different from the usual cell. At first glance, it is clean and delicate.

Those officials felt a little better when they thought that their children had spent the last night in this cell, and sighed, "It's also thanks to Prime Minister Lu and Young Master, if it wasn't for their care, wouldn't these children be even better in Bingma Division?" suffer?"

The eyes of those officials were a little red, and they looked left and right in the prison, saying that they were investigating the case, but in fact they were still unwilling to see the place where their children lay last.

"There are also potted plants." An official saw the delicate potted plants on the table and next to the kerosene lamp, and couldn't help but said, "It's Mr. Lu who is careful. Look at the layout of this place. Everything you need is there."

The official of the Ministry of Punishment who spoke out in the hall did not talk to others, but squatted on the ground, carefully inspecting the quilts that the students had been lying on, with his eyes fixed.

Lu Ming knelt down in person: "What? Have you found any clues?"

"No need, Prime Minister Lu." Seeing Lu Ming squatting down in person, the man hurriedly saluted and said, "This subordinate just discovered some minor things."

"Look, Prime Minister Lu." The official of the Ministry of Punishment picked up the quilt and pondered: "There is a little blood on the quilt, but the amount of bleeding is very small. If they were really tortured, the quilt would definitely not look like this. Where did the blood come from?"

As soon as this remark came out, someone answered immediately: "You said so medically, I really remembered something. When the servant changed my brother's last clothes, he found blood on his leg. I also saw it, but speaking of it It's strange, although there is also a wound where the bleeding is, but although the wound is a bruise, the blood is not from the beating, it looks like... like it was scratched when scratching it."

"Yes, my elder brother is also in the same situation." Someone said in amazement: "The servant didn't mention it, I almost forgot about it, and the injury is just like what the servant said, such as scratching the skin when scratching, I think there are nails around the injury Mark of."

"Could it be that there are poisonous insects in this prison, which made the children's skin itchy and finally poisoned and died?" Lu Ming sighed: "Although this matter is not the original intention of the soldiers and horses, it still has something to do with them after all! "

"It must be poisonous insects! The prison is very cloudy, and it is easy to nourish dirty things, and they live in the same room. If there are poisonous insects, then none of them can escape?"

This is a prison cell, and everyone naturally felt that the poisonous worm's words were most in line with the status quo, and they all sighed, and couldn't do much except weep silently.

Being bitten to death by poisonous insects, even if it has something to do with Bingmasi, how can they take Bingmasi?

After all, these children died innocently.

"No way!" Someone said angrily: "If we are tortured and beaten, we can still openly vent our anger to Bingmasi, but now it's good, what is this? The death of poisonous insects, wouldn't it make us eat one by one?" Dumb, have tears to swallow?"

"I can't swallow this breath!" An official rubbed the corner of his eyes: "It seems that His Majesty didn't want to make things difficult for our children, they are all soldiers and horses.

Lu Ming shook his head: "Just why is it such a coincidence? The old man has also seen the cell just now. There are many people living in the cell, and they are all safe and sound. Why is it that only this cell has poisonous insects? You must know that children only bring them here. It's just one night..."

"Does Lu Xiang suspect that someone has tampered with it?"

"If the poisonous insect died, then someone must have tampered with it, otherwise how could there be such a coincidence?"

"We have found out the truth! Now is the time to ask for an explanation!"

"Everyone, stay calm and don't be impatient." The official of the Criminal Ministry waved his hand: "When the poisonous insect said, there is no complete evidence yet. The next official will examine it carefully. The opportunity to enter here is hard to come by. If we want to make a noise, we can go out and discuss it later. , now we'd better take a look and review more."

Everyone stopped discussing and surveyed carefully, but it was easy to say, but they couldn't do it if they really wanted to investigate. Besides, most of them believed in what the poisonous insect said, and they had already given up the desire to continue to investigate.

"What other characteristics do you young masters have?" The official of the Ministry of Punishment said, "Everyone can think about it."

Everyone discussed again for a while, and this person listened quietly from the side, and gradually came to a few common characteristics.

First, as I just said, these people all have unbearable itching marks on their bodies.

The second is that many people have traces of chewing at the corners of their mouths.

The third is that all the itching marks appear near the wound.

"The kid from the Zhao family was also caught, why is he unharmed?" Someone suddenly said, "I heard that he has already gone to school."

"Yes, I saw Zhao Zhao when I went to the Imperial College to ask for an explanation, and there was nothing unusual."

Immediately called the prison head: "Why is Mr. Zhao not unusual?"

"Young master Lu sent something, and let this young master live alone in the side room." She was frightened: "This...maybe the poisonous insects...didn't go in?"

After discussing for half a day, there was still no result. The official of the Ministry of Punishment was still frowning and thinking hard on the way home.

Passing by a bookstore, I suddenly heard someone yelling: "New Chinese scripts are on sale, poisonous insects, poisonous poisons, poisonous poisons, really poisonous, three poisonous series, everything you expect to find."

He stopped involuntarily, took out a coin and bought a copy.

Qi You watched from the side, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

The so-called script, of course, was written by himself. He said he wanted to publish a book, and Zhao Zhao was willing to help him.

Because although the money grass is recorded in the original book, but after searching through the classics, they couldn't find the source, and they don't know where the Lu family found the prescription.

No way, I can only reluctantly go into battle and write a book myself.

Both pictures and texts are easy to understand.

The official of the Ministry of Punishment turned to the page of Money Grass, and his brows gradually wrinkled.
