I'm a Buddhist foster child

At dusk, the mansion of Sui Guogong was shrouded.

Yang Zan slowly drove his horse back to the mansion, sat on the horse, seemed to be in a daze, did not enter the mansion immediately, the servants at the door were a little surprised, and tentatively said: "Master Sanlang? Master Sanlang?"

After calling several times, Yang Zan said "Huh?" and finally came back to his senses and said, "What?"

The servant said: "Master Sanlang, do you want to enter the mansion?"

Only then did Yang Zan hand over the reins to the servant, dismounted himself, and walked slowly into the mansion.

"Crack!" Something lightly fell from Yang Zan's cuff, and it happened to land on the threshold of the gate. It was a small paper bag.

The servant kept saying: "Master Sanlang, your things have been lost, and I will pick up the small ones for you..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Zan looked down and saw that it was a poisonous fan!The poisonous powder Zhao Guogong Yuwen recruited for him accidentally dropped on the ground. Before the servant went to pick it up, Yang Zan suddenly went uncharacteristically and said coldly, "No need!"

The servants were taken aback, and kept half-bending, looking at Yang Zan in shock. Lord Sanlang has always been gentle and refined, never spoke loudly, and was always polite. The servants have never seen Lord Sanlang in such a gaffe. look like.

Yang Zan also knew that he had lost his composure, so he quickly squatted down and picked up the paper bag on the ground, and stuffed it into his cuff indiscriminately. Without saying a word, he turned and entered the mansion, and walked in with big strides.

Yang Zan went in, and went to Yang Jian's house first, but there was no one in the house, and his nephew was missing, so he found a servant and asked, "Is the prince not in the house?"

The servant replied, "Go back to Lord Sanlang, the eldest son has gone out with the youngest son."

Yang Zan nodded, waved his hand to let the servant leave, but his expression became more and more tense, his hands were clenched and intertwined, his fingers were all intertwined, as if he was struggling with something, his fingers touched the wide cuff, "Wow——" It was the slight crisp sound from the small paper bag, which frightened him, and he immediately let go of his hand, looking quite startled.

The weather was cold, but there was sweat rolling on Yang Zan's forehead, overflowing little by little, permeating the temples, staining the temples.

He took a deep breath and walked slowly towards the dining room.

The cooks were busy, and it was time for dinner soon, all the cooks were so busy, when they suddenly saw someone walking in, they thought it was Yang Jian, the master of the house, but it was Yang Zan, the master of the house, They all looked at Yang Zan strangely.

The cooks were stunned, and said with a smile: "Master Sanlang, do you want to cook for the princess again? What are you going to do today?"

That's right, Yang Zan used to have only one purpose in the dining room, to prepare meals for Princess Shunyang. His life scope is very simple, he likes to dance and write, and the rest of his thoughts are all on Princess Shunyang, Princess Shunyang said He likes to eat soup cakes, so he cooks himself and makes soup cakes for Princess Shunyang.

"pity……"

Yang Zan looked at his palm and murmured, "Unfortunately, I can't do anything well. Even if I try my best, I can't please you..."

Seeing Lord Sanlang in a daze, the cooks asked strangely, "Master Sanlang?"

Only then did Yang Zan come back to his senses, smiled, his smile was a little dry, and said: "No, today is not cooking for the princess, I want...to cook for the elder brother."

Yang Zan also learned how to cook with Yang Jian before, and he learned crispy noodles. Yang Zan especially liked crispy noodles a few days ago, and even wrote an essay on crispy noodles. Although he has no talent for cooking, he still It's also the second time I did it.

Yang Zan thought about the technique he had learned before, and started kneading the noodles. The kneading was messy, but it was probably reconciled, and he started making crispy noodles step by step.

When Yang Zan made a crispy noodle, and the cooks’ dinner was ready, Yang Zan couldn’t help but wryly smiled as he watched the fried crispy noodle that was black, messy, and shattered. Let alone Princess Shunyang, who eats this kind of food, even a beggar would not know how to eat it, so I can't blame Princess Shunyang for not liking it.

Thinking of this, Yang Zan slowly stretched out his hand, grabbed his cuff tightly, and took out a small paper bag from inside. His slender index finger trembled. I don't know if it was an illusion. Yang Zan's skin was already fair. Looking gentle, Yang Zan's complexion is even fairer today, with a pale, bloodless face.

Yang Zan's fingers trembled, and he slowly peeled off the paper package, "Wow..." With a shake, the medicinal powder sprinkled on the dark crispy surface, because the dry crispy noodles were fried, the poisonous powder was very obvious, but it was only for a moment , the poisonous powder quickly melted and melted into the burnt crisp noodles...

"Third brother!"

At this moment, a smiling voice sounded from behind Yang Zan, and Yang Zan was startled, "Wow!" He clenched his hands into fists, grabbed the poison powder's paper bag, and put it into his wide cuffs in a panic.

Yang Zan looked back, it was Yang Jian!

Yang Jian came in with Yang Guang, a little bun, and said with a smile: "Third brother, brother, I heard that you entered the dining room. I'm afraid you are cooking for Princess Shunyang again?"

Yang Zan's face was a little stiff, his voice rolled dryly, and he said, "No, no, my younger brother is cooking for my elder brother. I made... made crispy noodles."

"Huh?" Yang Jian rubbed his chin and said suspiciously, "Crispy noodles? Weird, weird, definitely weird!"

Yang Jian's words frightened Yang Zan, and he stammered, "No, nothing weird."

"It's nothing weird!" Yang Jian's smile was still friendly and gentle, and he said, "Is the sun rising in the west today? Otherwise, why would my brother take care of the meal for the eldest brother instead of Princess Shunyang?" meal?"

Yang Zan's voice became more dry, and he said "sophistry": "Because...because my brother suddenly thought of the crispy noodles and thought...wanted to eat this, so I tried to make it, and it was still...still mushy. .”

Yang Jian didn't doubt him, and thought that Yang Zan was hurt because he had fried the crispy noodles, so he patted Yang Zan's shoulder comfortingly: "It's nothing, I often fried the noodles for my brother at the beginning, I don't know. When will it never be fried again."

Yang Zan couldn't help but stared at the dark crispy noodles, then suddenly reached out and grabbed Chengpan, saying, "It's all fried, it's better...don't eat it."

"Hey, wait." Yang Jian stretched out his hand to stop him, and said, "My brother made it with great difficulty, and even said it was specially made for the eldest brother. As a brother, you must try it, don't throw it away."

"But, but..." Yang Zan still wanted to stop him, but Yang Jian was already smiling, and said very gently: "It's okay, give it to the elder brother, it's a waste to throw it away."

While they were talking, someone also walked into the dining room. It turned out to be the second son Yang Zheng. Yang Zheng said with a smile: "It turns out that the elder brother and the third younger brother are both in the dining room. No wonder I haven't been able to find anyone. What are you eating?" ?”

Yang Jian held up the black crispy noodles ostentatiously, and said, "Look, this is the crispy noodles that the third brother specially made for the elder brother."

When Yang Zheng heard this, he showed envious eyes and said, "I made it specially for the eldest brother? Why is the third brother so favoritism? Why don't you make a piece of crispy noodles for the second brother?"

"Otherwise..." Yang Jian said, "I'll give you half..."

Before he finished speaking, Yang Zan said excitedly: "No!!"

Both Yang Jian and Yang Zheng were taken aback, and looked at the youngest Yang Zan in shock, Yang Zan faltered and said, "I...I mean...this is for the elder brother."

Yang Zheng smiled foolishly, and said, "Really, it really does favor one person over another."

Yang Jian said: "Forget it, let Brother Wei help you taste it."

Yang Zan raised his hand, and the words to stop came to his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, his heart was beating like a drum, and he watched Yang Jian bite the burnt crispy noodles into his mouth with a "click" and chewed lightly.

A sense of exhaustion swept over Yang Zan, and the laughter and conversation between the eldest brother and the second brother could be heard next to his ears.

Yang Zheng asked with a smile: "Brother, how does it taste? Has the third brother's cooking skills improved?"

Yang Jian pondered and said: "Hmm... It's fried and a bit bitter, but the seasoning should be correct. There are no wrong seasonings. It can be regarded as a lot of effort. I will definitely do better next time."

"No……"

Yang Zan muttered to himself: "No... There will be no next time..."

Yang Jian said strangely: "Third brother, what did you say?"

Yang Zan shook his head, his face was a little lost, his body shook slightly, as if his strength had been taken away, and he was the one who was poisoned, holding on to the door frame of the dining room, staggeringly said: "I...I'm a little tired, Go back to the dormitory to rest."

The next day was the day when Yang Jian entered the court, and he needed to go to the court to discuss the burial with Otsuka Zaiyu Wenhu. Yang Jian always liked to be lazy, so the task of calling early was given to his youngest son Yang Guang.

This morning, Yang Guang also woke up early, because it was very late in winter, and it was still dark outside, and the sun could not be seen.

Yang Guang looked sideways, Yang Jian turned his back to him, he was still sound asleep, there was no movement, seeing that it was still early, he asked his father to sleep for a while.

Yang Guang waited for a while, and the time was almost up. If he didn't act quickly, Yang Jian might be late, so he crawled out of bed, knelt on the bed, shook Yang Jian's arm, and said, "Father, It's morning."

"Father, don't be lazy on the bed, it's going to be late."

"Father?"

Yang Guang called several times, but Yang Jian didn't respond, not at all. If it was normal, at least let Yang Guang not make noise, let him sleep for a while, etc.

Today... is so strange.

Yang Guang turned over Yang Jian like climbing a mountain, and came to Yang Jian's front. The little meaty hand shook Yang Jian and said, "Father..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Yang Jian's face was pale, his lips were purple, he breathed weakly when he probed with his little hand, it turned out that Yang Jian was not lazy on the bed, but was too sick to get out of bed.

"Father?!"

Yang Guang couldn't wake Yang Jian up, so he quickly jumped off the bed, rushed out the door, and shouted: "Go get the medical officer! Go to the palace and get Xu Minqi here!"

……

Zhou Palace.

Early in the morning, Zhao Guogong Yu Wenzhao arrived at Hanren Hall, greeted the Empress Dowager and brought a lot of delicious breakfast.

The queen mother sighed and said: "It's so early in the morning, it's hard for you to come here, and I still think about my old body."

Yu Wenzhao said with a smile: "Today, my son just needs to enter the palace to discuss matters, so he came here to pay his respects to the Queen Mother, and to visit the Queen Mother, please take care of your health."

The Queen Mother sighed again, and said: "I am so old, what else should I take care of, alas—"

Yu Wenzhao said: "The Empress Dowager must not think like this. If you are like this, the owner... the owner will not feel at ease."

As soon as Yu Wenyong was mentioned, the empress dowager's eyes turned red again, and she said, "My son... why did my son leave like this... my son..."

Yu Wenzhao said: "Take care, Queen Mother, take care, Queen Mother!"

He said, and then said: "Queen Mother, my son heard that the general of the town army brought back a medical officer from Qidi. His name is Xu Minqi. His uncle is Xu Zhicai, a well-known genius doctor. Presumably this Xu Minqi has also passed on the truth. Queen Mother You are not in good health, otherwise... it would be good to invite Dr. Xu over to show the Queen Mother."

The queen mother didn't want to be troublesome, but Yu Wenzhao was extremely filial and earnest, so she must let Xu Minqi come over to show the queen mother.

The queen mother let go and said: "Forget it, let's call here. I have often heard of Xu Zhicai's great reputation. I can't see Xu Zhicai today. I am lucky to meet his nephew."

Yu Wenzhao immediately ordered someone to invite Xu Minqi to come. This morning, Xu Minqi rushed to Hanren Hall with the medicine box in hand to ask the Queen Mother for her pulse.

Xu Minqi knelt on the ground and stammered, "Down, down... my servants...greetings to the Queen Mother."

After he finished speaking, he immediately asked the empress dowager for pulse, and stammered, "Ma'am... if the empress dowager wants to... want to recuperate her... body, this... this wine needs... you have to stop drinking."

When the queen mother heard it, she was stunned, and said in surprise: "How do you know that I like drinking?"

Xu Minqi smiled awkwardly, while Yu Wenzhao said: "The queen mother, my son said that this medical officer Xu is very clever. The queen mother loves to drink too much on weekdays, and my sons can't persuade him. Today, doctor Xu can see it." But let Dr. Xu take good care of his doctor and see a doctor!"

Yang Jian suddenly fell ill and couldn't even open his eyes. Liu Taozhi was ordered to go to the palace to look for Xu Minqi, but when he arrived at the palace, he heard that Xu Minqi was not there. He was invited to Hanren Hall this early in the morning. Went to see the Queen Mother.

Liu Taozhi was in a hurry, and immediately ran to the Hanren Hall, but he was a foreign minister and a man, so he was not allowed to enter the Hanren Hall at all, and was blocked at the door, so he could only wait for the middle official to pass the news.

The Zhongguan asked Liu Taozhi to wait, and entered the Hanren Hall by himself, but was stopped before he entered the inner room. When he looked up, it turned out that it was Zhao Guogong Yu Wenzhao.

Yu Wenzhao smiled faintly, as if he had been prepared for a long time, and said, "Where are you going? Didn't you see that the medical officer was consulting the Queen Mother?"

The Zhongguan hurriedly replied: "Duke Zhao, the relatives of Duke Sui's mansion outside invited Dr. Xu, saying that the son of Mr. Sui is ill and needs Dr. Xu to go to the doctor."

Yu Wenzhao smiled faintly again, and said: "Sui Guogong's son? You are too confused. How can a small son be as honorable as the queen mother? The queen mother is the mother of the world. Doctor Xu is treating the mother of the world. Isn’t it a capital offense if you go in and disturb me?!”

"Slave deserves to die!" Zhongguan knelt down with a groan, kowtowed and said, "Slave deserves to die! Please be kind to Zhao Gong."

Yu Wenzhao said: "Forget it. Since you are the first offender and it was an unintentional act, I will not pursue it. You can reply and say that Doctor Xu will go soon, and let him wait."

"Yes."

The Zhongguan quickly came out and replied to Liu Taozhi, saying: "Medical officer Xu will come out soon."

Liu Taozhi was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He usually had no expression on his face, but now he frowned tightly and walked back and forth in front of the Hanren Hall. He waited immediately, and after waiting for more than an hour, Liu Taozhi Taozhi wanted to go in several times, but was blocked by the Zhongguan.

Yu Wenzhao did it on purpose, he deliberately introduced Xu Minqi to the queen mother, the queen mother summoned Xu Minqi, it would naturally delay the time, but Yu Wenzhao knew that Yang Jianzhong was a poison that sealed the throat with blood, as long as Xu Minqi was delayed, no one could save him Got him.

Xu Minqi was a stutterer and acted slowly, and he didn't know about Yang Jian's poisoning at all, so he was still showing it to the Empress Dowager's doctor in a leisurely manner.

Yuwen Zhao smiled at ease, so he left from the back door of Hanren Hall, staggered away from Liu Taozhi, and went to the meeting hall.

When Yu Wenzhao entered the meeting hall, the ministers had already arrived. As soon as he entered, Otsuka Prime Minister Yu Wenhu also came, and everyone sat together.

Yu Wenzhao looked around, as expected, only the general of the town army, Yang Jian, hadn't arrived yet.

Everyone waited for a long time, seeing that it was almost noon, Yang Jian still didn't show up, Yu Wenzhao was even more proud, thinking that Yang Jian might have died by now, but he deliberately pretended not to know, and even instigated The mood of the ministers said: "The matter of the burial is so serious and important. As a minister, how can you be late for such important things? The general of the town army is really outrageous."

"yes……"

"Yes, yes! I heard that the general of the town army is self-respecting. Is there such a thing?"

"Otherwise, why are you late for the burial council? You really don't take us seriously."

Yuwenhu is considered the calmest one. He went to Sui Guogong's mansion to have a banquet before, and the two of them also talked. Yuwenhu knew that he had no chance to become the master, but the powerful minister still had to do it. If Yang Jian could really He is a sensible person who has successfully ascended to the position, and is always better than others.

Yu Wenhu is now on the same front as Yang Jian. He is on Yang Jian's team, so naturally he won't make trouble for Yang Jian, so he said to his son Yu Wenhui: "Young three, go and see."

Hussar general Yu Wenhu left, and rushed back not long after. It was clearly in the winter, but he was sweating hotly, shouting: "Grandpa! It's not good! The general of the town army has been poisoned!"

"Poisoned!?"

"It turns out that the general of the town army didn't come because he was poisoned?"

"Isn't it self-respecting?"

Yu Wenhu thumped in his heart, and said, "How's the situation?"

Yu Wenhui gasped and said, "Doctor Xu has already gone to see him. For the time being... he hanged his life temporarily, but he still doesn't wake up. Doctor Xu said that it's hard to say whether he can be rescued or not."

When Yu Wenzhao heard it, he couldn't help showing a disappointed expression. Yang Jian was really lucky, maybe it was Yang Zan who was "soft-hearted", so Yang Zan used the poison to seal his throat, but he used the Queen Mother to hold Xu Minqi back. Unexpectedly, Yang Jian still saved his life.

Yu Wenzhao immediately put on a worried expression and said, "How did you get poisoned? Who poisoned you? Did you find out?"

In fact, this is what Yu Wenzhao is most worried about, and his worries are not fake.

Yu Wenhui shook his head and said: "I didn't find out, and I was poisoned suddenly without anyone noticing it. According to the words of the Sui Guogong's mansion, when I woke up early in the morning, my son was poisoned. Poisonous thief."

Soon, the ministers came to visit Duke Sui's mansion, and Zhao Guogong Yu Wenzhao was also among the visiting crowd. He entered Sui Guogong's mansion and saw Yang Zan from afar.

Yang Zan looked sluggish, his eyes were red, and his eyes were bloodshot. He leaned crookedly against Yang Jian's door frame and never left.

Yang Zheng walked up to Yang Zan, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Third brother, it's all right. Eldest brother must be all right. Doctor Xu has already hanged the elder brother's life. He will definitely find a way to detoxify, and he will definitely... ..."

Yang Zheng narrowed his eyes and said, "The thief who poisoned him will definitely be caught."

Yang Zan's shoulders trembled slightly, and he clenched his hands into fists. When he raised his head, he met Yu Wenzhao's smiling eyes. The two eyes met. Yang Zan immediately lowered his head...

Yang Jian was suddenly poisoned and passed out. The Duke of Sui's mansion was turned upside down, and the person who poisoned him could not be found. In addition, Yang Jian's condition was not rescued immediately, and the poison had already penetrated into his bones. His life, hanging on his last breath, the greatest hope now is for the person who poisoned him to jump out and hand over the antidote.

However, how could the person who poisoned him jump out by himself?Xu Minqi stayed in the Duke's mansion of the Sui Dynasty every day, brewing the medicine himself, while Yang Guang, the youngest son, brought the medicine over in person and fed it to Yang Jian. For the sake of safety, he never gave it to others.

As the days went on day by day, Yang Jian's condition did not improve, but worsened day by day.

squeak-

The house was hung with curtains to cut off the gloomy sunlight in winter, and the whole house was shrouded in darkness. Yang Jian lay in such darkness, eyes closed quietly, his face was pale, his lips were purple, Motionless, as if a... dead person.

With the sound of pushing the door, a long black shadow slowly walked in. The black shadow stretched very long, "creeping forward" strangely, and even staggered.

When the black shadow walked into the house, it was clear that it was the third child, Yang Zan.

When Yang Zan walked in, his complexion was not very good, as if he had suffered a serious illness, his lips were pale, and his face was weak. He had also lost weight in the past few days, and his usually tall figure was now a little thinner.

Yang Zan stood in front of the bed, looked down at Yang Jian who was lying on the bed, opened his mouth, and said softly, "Brother...don't blame me, brother, it's all... you forced..."

"If I don't do this...Princess Shunyang won't look at me at all..."

"Obviously my talent is superior to yours, but in the eyes of others, I am always a head shorter than you, just because I am a younger brother, are you an elder brother? Why does an elder brother have such a privilege?! Why, tell me, get up Tell me!!!"

Yang Zan's voice changed from low and hoarse to inaudible, and gradually became harsh. He tried his best to keep it very low, but he couldn't restrain his emotions.

"You forced me..." Yang Zan lowered his head and said with trembling shoulders, "You forced me, and I was forced too, big brother...don't blame me, brother stopped you, but... But even Princess Shunyang doesn't eat the scorched cakes, why would the eldest brother eat them?"

"It's all to blame...it's all your stupidity..."

Just as Yang Zan was talking to himself, "Boom..." a slight voice rang out. Yang Zan immediately became alert, turned his head abruptly, and saw the little bun Yang Guang standing at the door.

Yang Guang was holding the freshly brewed decoction in his hand, and was about to bring it in to Yang Jian and feed the medicine himself.It was past the time to feed the medicine today, there was a temporary shortage of medicinal materials, Xu Minqi ran into the palace and looked around for a long time, and finally found the medicinal materials to boil the medicine, so the soup and medicine came out later than usual.

That's how Yang Guang saw Yang Zan by accident.

Yang Zan opened his eyes wide in surprise, stared at Yang Guang, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Did you... hear that?"

Yang Guang turned around and wanted to run, but he was a little bun now, and his stature was too short. As soon as he turned around, before he ran away, Yang Zan had already strode up, grabbed the little bun with one hand, and grabbed the soup and medicine bowl with the other, dragging him away He came in, "Boom!!" He slammed the door shut.

"Let... let go of me!" The little bun Yang Guang kicked vigorously, but he couldn't break free from Yang Zan's shackles.

But don't forget that although Yang Zan is a talented man, he is also an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. He just doesn't like to wield knives and guns on weekdays, and his hands are not weak.

Yang Zan's face was not very real in the darkness, his voice was hoarse and deep, and he said, "Good nephew, did you hear everything?"

Yang Guang calmed down and said: "What a brother and friend, no wonder you searched for someone all over the Sui government, but you couldn't find the thief who poisoned you. It turns out that the person who poisoned you was obviously you!"

Yang Zan shackled the little bun Yang Guang, his voice became more and more cold, and the ending trembled and twisted: "It's not me, it's not me..."

Yang Guang said: "I have already discovered it, do you still want to quibble?"

Yang Zan suddenly laughed, and said, "I said...it wasn't me, who would believe it was me? I am the Lord Saburo of Sui State Duke's Mansion, I am the elder brother's younger brother, we are siblings, how could I poison it? But... now we have indeed found the poisoner."

As he said, he put the bowl of decoction on the bedside, right in front of Yang Jian's "eyes", took out a small paper bag from his wide cuff, opened the bag, there was still some poisonous powder inside, and said "wow" lightly. Shake it lightly, and shake it all into the soup.

Yang Zan smiled and said, "Look, good nephew, now the poisoner has been caught."

Yang Guang narrowed his eyes and said, "You want to frame me?"

"My dear nephew," Yang Zan said, "how could I frame you? You are my brother's treasure, my uncle can't bear to frame you, but...Xu Minqi."

Yang Guang suddenly realized, Xu Minqi!

That's right, this soup was made by Xu Minqi. For the sake of caution, Xu Minqi took care of everything from picking up the medicine to brewing it. Yang Guang was responsible for feeding the medicine. No one pretended to do it. If something goes wrong, Yang Guang is still a little bun. How could it be possible to poison, the person who poisoned became... Xu Minqi!

Yang Zan said with a smile: "Look, I'm the younger brother of the eldest brother, but what about Xu Minqi? Xu Minqi is from Qi, and he has ulterior motives, and it is reasonable to poison him secretly. Everyone will believe me, but not Xu Minqi's."

When Yang Zan said this, he immediately yelled to recruit all the people. Sui Guogong's mansion is now troubled, and Yang Zhong and Yang Zheng all rushed over soon. , all ran over.

Yang Zan testified against Xu Minqi, and Xu Minqi said in shock: "I, I, I... I, I didn't..."

He was a stutterer, and usually he was meek and slow, but now he was in a hurry, and he was even more unable to refute, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Yang Zan's eyes were red, and he said: "Xu Minqi, you still want to argue?! You not only used the medical officer's convenience to poison the soup, but also deceived my nephew. How much benefit did the Qi people give you to make you born like this? Black heart!"

Xu Minqi said in a panic, "I... I didn't... I didn't... I didn't..."

Yang Zan said: "If you don't believe me, just ask the medical officer to do a drug test!"

Yang Zhong had already found a medical officer, and the medical officer hurried over to do a drug test. During this test, the poison Yang Jian suffered was exactly the same as the poison in the decoction.

Liu Taozhi said in surprise: "Lord Sanlang, is there some misunderstanding?"

"Misunderstanding?" Yang Zan narrowed his eyes and said, "Xu Minqi is from Qi, and he has had ulterior motives from the very beginning. Think about it, the other Qi people were recruited by the elder brother, who didn't spend all their time, only this Xu Minqi, once we come here In the camp, I try my best to please you, as if you are keeping yourself safe, so it turns out that you are the one who harbors the most evil intentions!"

"I'm...really...no..." Xu Minqi was flustered and afraid. He was not a military commander, and he was naturally courageous like no one else. Now that he was being accused, he was so anxious that he couldn't speak at all. Come.

Yang Guang was shackled and kicked his little meaty legs vigorously. He said in a hurry, "Let go of the nest... let go of the nest-wo... ohhhhh!"

Yang Zan immediately covered his mouth with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Nephew, you are a little child, what weight does anyone who comes out have? Let's save your energy."

Yang Zhong squinted his eyes and said: "The matter is of great importance. Medical Officer Xu has been offended for the time being. Before the matter is clarified, someone will come and take Medical Officer Xu into prison."

"Yes!"

Xu Minqi shook his hand vigorously, and said, "No...no, I, I, I...I...I didn't poison...poison!"

Xu Minqi was thrown into the sky prison and temporarily detained, and the chariot general Yang Zheng personally took charge of the trial. This incident caused countless turmoil, not only Xu Minqi alone, but also many other people were implicated.

Because Xu Minqi was from the Northern Qi who recruited An, and there were rumors of poisoning by Qi people, and now it was the time when the master passed away, the news of Jingzhao Chang'an was already tight, so the direction of the wind was even more chaotic. .

Other Qi people recruited, including Lanling King Gao Changgong, Ande King Gao Yanzong, Governor Han Feng, General Hu Luguang, etc., even the little bun King Langya was put under house arrest.

Those who are not from Qi, such as Hao Abao and Langpi, are not much better, because they are not "one of our own" but Jihu people, and they are also excluded.

Yang Jian was unable to attend the meeting of the burial, but the burial could not be delayed, and someone had to take care of it, so the youngest Yang Zan, who was delicate and quick-witted, stood out. Grandpa Yang Zhong and second brother Yang Zheng both felt that Yang Zan was competent. Take Yang Jian's place and attend the parliament instead of Yang Jian.

On this day, Yang Zan dressed neatly, boarded the carriage, and headed for the palace, preparing to attend the funeral meeting.

It was the first time Yang Zan entered the meeting hall, and all the people present were the elders of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, including Otsuka Zai Yuwenhu, Hussar General Yuwenhui, and elders of various states.

Yang Zan walked in, feeling a little agitated, his pale face turned red because of the excitement, he came to the seat originally prepared for Yang Jian, and sat down.

Everyone was discussing about the burial in the meeting hall. The owner died, and the burial must not be perfunctory. They discussed it all morning, and after noon, they all dispersed and left the meeting hall.

When Yang Zan came out of the meeting hall, many ministers bowed their hands and said goodbye, saying flatteringly: "Master Sanlang is quick-witted, really worthy of being the number one genius in our Great Zhou!"

"Yes, yes! In the past, I only knew that Sui Guogong's heir was both civil and military, talented and thoughtful, but I didn't expect Lord Sanlang to be so extraordinary."

"If you want me to say, Master Sanlang's talent is even better than that of the prince!"

Yang Zan cupped his hands, and said modestly: "Missing praise, you are all being praised, the younger generation really deserves it, it is absolutely inferior to the elder brother, if the elder brother, alas..."

When he said this, he sighed, and the ministers also knew that Yang Jian was still ill at this time, and he was only dying, and it was getting worse day by day, so they didn't say anything more, and left one after another.

"How, how does Lord Saburo feel?"

A laugh sounded from behind, accompanied by the sound of trampling, walking behind Yang Zan.

Yang Zan turned his head, restrained his sadness and depression for a moment, and stared at the visitor with a gloomy expression.

It's Zhao Guogong Yu Wenzhao!

Yu Wenzhao left the meeting hall first, but unexpectedly, he did not go far, but stood not far from the meeting hall, waiting for Yang Zan on purpose.

Yu Wenzhao said with a smile: "Why is Lord Sanlang not happy when he sees me? After all, we are already in the same boat."

As he spoke, he put his hand on Yang Zan's shoulder.

Snapped--!

Yang Zan knocked off Yu Wenzhao's hand without mercy, and said coldly, "I'm different from you."

"Different?" Yu Wen laughed, and said, "Why is it different? Could it be that San Lang mainly denied it, and you didn't inflict the poison on your elder brother?"

Yang Zan frowned, subconsciously looked left and right, afraid that Yu Wenzhao's voice would be too loud and others would hear it.

Yu Wenzhao smiled and said, "Don't worry, there is no one around, only you and me..."

After he finished speaking, he said, "What's the difference between us? That's right, Lord Sanlang must be more noble than me. He poisoned the elder brother and framed others with confidence. I really don't have the nobleness of yours."

Yang Zan's eyes became sharper, as if he was about to delay Yu Wen's recruitment.

Yu Wenzhao said with a smile: "Lord Sanlang, don't look at me like that. As I said, we are on the same boat. Now that this is the case, how can I harm you? On the contrary, we are allies."

Yang Zan still didn't speak. Yu Wenzhao walked around Yang Zan, looked him up and down, and said, "You also know that Xu Minqi has been imprisoned now, involving many people from Qi, and the involvement is not insignificant, and among these people , there is no lack of smart people... Anyway, I have already reached this point, Lord Sanlang has no way out, so I just...do it absolutely."

Yu Wenzhao patted Yang Zan's shoulder again, leaned into his ear, and whispered, "As long as Xu Minqi is here, your elder brother's life can be saved...just kill him."

Yang Zan immediately frowned, and Yu Wenzhao continued: "Once Xu Minqi dies, no one will be able to save your elder brother. His title, his status, his military power, and even the beauties who like him... are all yours." , isn't it good?"

"Anyway, it's just Xu Minqi. If he dies, you and I will be clean. I believe he died well..."

"Snapped!"

Yang Zan knocked off Yuwenzhao's hand again, stared at Yuwenzhao coldly, and said, "I'll say it again, I'm different from you, we're not of the same spirit at all."

After Yang Zan finished speaking, he turned and left without further words.

Yu Wenzhao stood on the spot, still maintaining the movement of raising his hand, seeing Yang Zan going away, couldn't help smiling, and said to himself: "Yes, we are different, because...you are more important than me. hypocritical."

As he spoke, he brushed off his sleeve robe, smiled, and turned to leave.

Yang Zan took a few steps, stood still, squinted his eyes, seemed to be thinking about something, lowered his head slightly, couldn't see his expression clearly, seemed to be lost in thought, after a while, finally raised his head, Yang Zan's There was a cold light in his eyes, which turned out to be unprecedentedly firm.

Yang Zan strode forward, and soon came to the bus station, and got on the carriage.

The riding slave said, "Master Sanlang, are you going back to the mansion?"

Yang Zan said in a cold voice: "If you don't go back to the house, go to the prison."

"Yes!"

Yang Zan's cart left the palace and headed for the prison. The slaves parked the cart at the door. When Yang Zan got out of the cart, the prison guard immediately came out to greet him and said, "Why is Lord Sanlang here? He is here to find the General Chaqi." Is it? What a coincidence, the chariot general just left not long ago."

When Yang Zan heard that Yang Zheng was not there, he squinted his eyes and said, "It's okay, I'll go and see the poisoned thief Qi."

The jailer immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Lord Sanlang, please, the younger one will lead the way."

The crowd surrounded Yang Zan and walked in, entered the prison, and went to see Xu Minqi all the way.

Yang Zan asked, "Has the poisoned Qi thief confessed?"

The jailer shook his head and said: "The thief's bones are very hard. Although he stutters, he just doesn't open his mouth, no matter how much he asks. The general Che Qi has already interrogated him himself, and it is useless."

Yang Zan narrowed his eyes and said, "But... have you been tortured?"
