Startled Meng

Chapter 105 Poisoning

Just as Yu Fangzhi expected, Yan Cijing didn't ask him to come over at night, just to concentrate on handling the case, but unexpectedly, when Yan Cijing saw him, besides surprise, there was joy on his face.

He raised his head from behind a pile of documents, smiled, and waved to Fang Zhi, "Come here!"

It looked like Xiao Biesheng was newlyweds, seeing the husband couldn't help being excited, letting Yu Fang know that he had a sense of satisfaction as a husband, but when he approached, he was greatly disappointed.

Yan Cijing flipped through the account books and asked him, "Do you still remember that when Jiangling was hit by a disaster, you only paid for the righteous warehouse for three days?"

Yu Fang didn't know if he was deeply interested, so he sat down lazily against Yan Ci mirror, and said slowly: "Remember, what's wrong?"

Yan Cijing flicked through the account books: "Even if it is a barbarian warehouse, it is impossible to hold it for only three days. There are big problems in it, but at that time there was disaster relief, and the canal was repaired later. I didn't think about it for a while. Get up and go to the Hufang today to see the relevant records."

Yu Fangzhi stirred Yan Cijing's lock of hair, and said absently: "Well, what's the matter? Aren't you checking the case of Mrs. Fly? Why are you checking the records of the house again?"

With a snap of his fingers, Yu Fangzhi almost pulled Yan Cijing's hair off, "You want...not good, it's easy to offend people!"

Yan Cijing felt relieved and ironed, sighing: "This matter can only be done by me, I am tired, but in addition to clearing up the mistakes and omissions of the past, maybe I can also find poisonous killers." Killer of the Fly Sister."

Yu Fangzhi glanced at the account book on the table, and said, "So you plan to start with the house?"

Yan Cijing nodded, and looked carefully at the records again, "At the time when the waterlogging was severe, the government urgently opened a charity warehouse to relieve the disaster. According to the people who were present at the time, when the warehouse was opened, it was found that there was only a small pile of grain left in the warehouse. I don't know when it disappeared, but the guards guarding the storehouse didn't notice any abnormality for so long, so they knew that they were doomed, so they ran away."

Yu Fangzhi: "What do you think?"

Yan Cijing asked: "What kind of person is Mr. Jiang, who just became an official?"

"Jiang Guan?" When Jiang Guan retired and returned to Beijing ahead of schedule, Yu Fangzhi even went to him, "At that time, he said that he was old and wanted to go back to his hometown to recuperate. I guess he was lazy and didn't want to take care of the mess of the flood. I just left early, if you say that he has something to do with the shortage of food in the Yicang..."

"Master Jiang..." Yu Fangzhi just called people by name, and now he calls Master Jiang, but his tone is not very respectful.

"He handles things so-so, and he's easy to talk to. My father has a good opinion of him."

In this way, Yan Cijing understands that Yu Wanqian is a businessman, and the businessman has a good opinion of the court officials, so there are many things worth pondering.

"Since you are a greedy person, it is possible to smuggle the food in the righteous warehouse and leave early because you are afraid of being exposed?" Yan Cijing guessed.

Yu Fang knew: "Jiang Guan has been in Jiangling for more than ten years. When the tax was the most abundant, he never said that he would build large-scale construction projects and reorganize water conservancy. He has no courage and courage. He just died for money and wanted to make a fortune before leaving. It's not impossible."

After Yu Fangzhi finished speaking, he felt that Yan Cijing touched the back of his hand with his fingers, which made his heart itch. He smiled and said, "You want me to send someone to find Jiang Guan, just to put it bluntly, stealthily What is the back of your hand doing?"

Yu Fang knew that the smile on his face was not serious, Yan Cijing withdrew his hands and came back, saying, "How should I thank you?"

Yu Fangzhi pulled the tray at the corner of the table with one hand to hold down the documents on the table, opened the stew pot, sniffed it, and said, "Jipus stewed for you? Ginseng soup, good stuff, drink it while it's hot."

Yan Cijing nodded, took the porcelain spoon and stirred the yellow ginseng soup, just as the spoon touched his lips, he raised his head again and asked, "You came to see me tonight, do you have something to say?"

He has already said to let Yu Fang know that he is coming, unless something happens, Yu Fang will not come.

"Missing becomes sick."

After not drinking the ginseng soup, Yan Cijing looked up again, looking at him like a fool.

"This spoonful will go cold if you don't drink it." Yu Fangzhi smiled, took Yan Cijing's hand, drank the soup, and coaxed: "It's delicious, drink it quickly, and I'll tell you while you drink it."

Yu Fang knows what he wants to say, which is related to He Qian.

When the epidemic broke out in Jiangling at the beginning, the documents requesting disaster relief could not be heard by Datian. Later, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation.

Yu Fangzhi used a little trick to get He Qian's brother-in-law to take the blame in the end.

Concealing the disaster is a serious crime of beheading. He Qian was entrusted by his concubine sister to write a letter to Beijing to plead with Wei Cheng, but he was not saved and had to get a whole body.

"Now his widowed concubine sister has nowhere to go and runs to He Qian. The officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the military mansion don't recognize her, so they block her from the door. At that time, she broke out and scolded He Qian for being cold and not doing her best. After saving people, he was dragged in by He Qian himself before stopping."

Yan Cijing asked: "Why did you let He Qian's brother-in-law take the blame?"

Yu Fangzhi rubbed the corners of Yan Cijing's lips with a handkerchief, and said, "Teach him to see clearly who he trusts in Wei Cheng, and who he is in Wei Cheng's eyes."

Yan Cijing was puzzled, "He Qian and Wei Cheng..."

Yu Fang knew: "About the early years when Wei Cheng was Minister of the Ministry of War, he had a communication with He Qian."

Yan Ci mirrored it clearly, if it wasn't for this, how could He Qian have known Wei Cheng after living in Jiangling for a long time, and still wanted to save his relatives with his own face?

Yu Fangzhi took Yan Cijing's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry about outsiders, there is one more thing."

"what?"

Yu Fangzhi glanced at the stew pot, and said, "There is still half of it, you continue to drink, and I will tell you."

"My father invites you to have dinner at home."

The porcelain spoon hit the cup, and a few drops of soup splashed out. The speaker comforted him: "Don't be nervous, it's just that the payment for the stone material has been settled. My father is happy to invite you. In fact, I have always wanted to invite you, but I have always refused." .”

What was Yu Wanqian thinking before, did Yu Fangzhi not know?At that time, gold ingots will be eaten from the bowl, and silver ingots will be drunk from the soup. How embarrassing, Mr. Yan is a good and honest official.

"This time it's just a simple family banquet, and there will be no big fuss. You just come and leave after eating."

Yan Cijing is not good at socializing, but he knows how to speak, so he won't be too stiff and uncomfortable. He finished drinking the ginseng soup and nodded in response.

It was not the first time for Yu Jia and Yan Cijing to come here, except that he was a little overwhelmed by the excessive hospitality before sitting down, and he pulled the hem of Yu Fangzhi's clothes behind his back several times, the rest did not feel any discomfort.

Yu Wanqian is worthy of being a big businessman. From the time he entered the door to when he was seated, he had asked more than once if the government office needs to buy anything recently, or where Jiangling City needs to be repaired, he can do anything.

But Duan Chengkong is a wanderer from all corners of the country. The ghosts and monsters recorded in the "Shan Hai Jing" are not as many as the strange things he has seen, and he happily tells some anecdotes to amuse him.

"Master, why are you bluffing people with the lie about catching cannonballs with your bare hands?" Because of avoiding suspicion and superiority, Yu Fangzhi could only sit opposite Yan Cijing.

Duan Chengkong ignored him, hugged the goshawk in his arms, and continued to tell Yan Cijing the story of his seven days and seven nights in the sea. In the end, it was Yu Wanqian who asked the four of them to work together to serve a big pot of Shiquan Dabu soup , Duan Chengkong stopped.

When all the servants came up to serve the soup, Yan Cijing found that there was no one else on the table except the four of them and an eagle, and there were no female family members. I think Yu Fangzhi's mother died, and the remaining eighteen houses, oh No, she is now a concubine in the nineteenth room, and it is not easy to serve.

Yu Wanqian said: "Master Yan, try this hard-to-buy Shiquan Dabu Soup. The ingredients are all the best and the taste is good. I don't know if I have never drank this pot of Yu. I have to come to Master Yan. Just send someone to prepare."

"Thanks to Mr. Yan." Yu Fangzhi kept looking at the opposite side, and only bowed his head to take a sip when he heard Yu Wanqian say this.

The medicinal food is sweet and sweet, very delicious, Yu Fangzhi said: "Master Yan has not had enough rest recently, and his energy and blood are deficient. Drink more, Xiaoqing, and give it to Master Yan."

The distance is too far, and Yan Cijing can't remind Yu Fangzhi to restrain himself. He is worried that Yu Fangzhi's smile is too deep, and others will see something wrong. He is also worried that Yu Fangzhi is too courteous and attracts suspicion.

Besides, he was in a good mood, and when he saw Yu Fangzhi, he couldn't help but smile, fearing that if someone asked him, it would be hard for him to explain, so he just lowered his head and drank the soup.

"Master!" Xiao Qing suddenly pointed at Yu Fangzhi and exclaimed.

Everyone looked at Yu Fangzhi.

I saw two lines of blood slowly flowing from Yu Fangzhi's nostrils, Yu Fangzhi seemed to feel something, touched the person, and was a little dazed for a while at the bright red nosebleed.

Among the screams of the servants, only the laughter of thousands of words shook the earth.

Then Duan Chengkong also laughed, patted Yu Fangzhi on the shoulder, and said cheerfully, "You're too angry, kid! Can't stand a little tonic soup?"

After a false alarm, everyone's worries dissipated, Xiaoqing smiled and took a handkerchief to help Yu Fangzhi wipe the blood.

"What's wrong with Master Yan?" Yu Wanqian turned his head and saw that Yan Cijing had the same symptoms, he didn't dare to laugh anymore, and ordered the servant to hand over the handkerchief.

It's just getting angry, so it shouldn't be a serious problem, but Yan Cijing's face is a little pale, and the blood in the crowd is bright red, making his face even more ugly.

"Master Yan?" The speaker sensed something was wrong.

"I'm fine." Yan Cijing smiled lightly, clutching the handkerchief in his hand.

"Cough—" Yan Cijing frowned, and then tightly covered his mouth with a handkerchief.

I saw blood seeping out of the handkerchief quickly, staining Yan Cijing's hands, and then Yu Fangzhi watched Yan Cijing spit out a mouthful of black blood and fell on the table.

"Ci mirror!"

Yu Fangzhi rushed over and hugged Yan Cijing tightly amidst the screams of the crowd.

"Quick! Call the doctor!"

The author says:

I confess, the poison was done by me, the young couple is too tired to bear it hhhhh, good night!
