Your Highness, the Proton of the Book, forgive me

Shangguan Tao turned his head and saluted Jiang Xianjing and Qian Zuisheng: "Thank you, my lord and my concubine, I will never forget the kindness of saving my life. In the future, I will make a straw ring to repay the great kindness of my lord and concubine."

After Qian Zuisheng finished interrogating Shangguan Tao that day, he changed places.

Another death row prisoner was disguised as Shangguan Tao.

Qi Lu: "Princess, the mysterious buyer that Lord Shangguan refuses to mention even if he dies, could it be Lord Duan?"

Qian Zuisheng nodded.

Jiang Xianjing sneered: "Master Duan, you should tell your nephew yourself!"

Shangguan Tao stepped forward, almost gnashing his teeth: "My lord, let the next official talk!"

Last year's drought caused varying degrees of damage throughout the Northwest region, but Shouye City and Huaigu City were the most severely affected.

Fortunately, the imperial court provided timely support, and the disaster situation was quickly alleviated.

But Duan Chenghong didn't know where he knew about the sorcery, which required living people who were born on the third day of the third month to use medicine to make alchemy.

Although Shouye City and Huaigu City live next to each other, they do not belong to each other.

Originally, everything was fine, but the bad thing was that Shangguan Tao's son was also born in Sanyue Sansheng.

Duan Chenghong didn't know where to find out that there was only one of these children missing, so he boldly targeted Shangguan Tao.

I don't know if it was a coincidence, but Shangguantao's report on the disaster situation suddenly disappeared.

There are disaster relief food funds in the surrounding cities, and Shouye City has completely become an isolated island.

Shangguan Tao bumped into walls everywhere and was very anxious.

The shameless Duan Chenghong threatens Shangguantao to hand over Shangguanyu with the relief money.

In order to save the child's life, Shangguan Tao had no choice but to make Shangguan Yu stupid.

But he obviously underestimated Duan Chenghong's shamelessness, and at the same time underestimated the weakness of the common people.

I don't know when it started, the folks in Shouye City quietly became popular in this "business" of cutting off children and grandchildren.

"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" Qi Lu was heartbroken.

"Since there is only one child missing, why do you want to hit the people of Shouye City?"

Qian Zui said: "Ah Xiang rescued the child you collected, and you took the risk as a last resort."

"Who is Ah Xiang?"

Qi Lu and Lei Wu spoke in unison.

Duan Chenghong's eyes burned red with anger: "You two have such good means, even Ah Xiang knows about them."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his finger and pointed at Shangguan Tao: "The disasters of the people guarding Ye City are all because of you. If you can understand the current affairs and hand over Shangguan Yu obediently, my elixir will be ready long ago, so there is no use for it." Are you guarding Ye City to find goods?"

"Looking for goods? Uncle, that's life..." Qi Lu didn't seem to believe his ears.

"Lu'er, this matter has nothing to do with you, don't get involved."

After finishing speaking, Duan Chenghong stared fiercely at Jiang Xianjing's back: "Ah Xiang, come out!"

Ah Xiang untied his cloak: "Amitabha."

"The demon monk is a good trick. I just want to know where you stole those 99 children? I dug three feet and couldn't find them."

"Amitabha, God has the virtue of caring for life, Master Duan has done many unrighteous acts, why bother to blame this little monk?"

"What a good life, you ruined my good deeds, I really regret that I didn't set you on fire."

"The little monk warned the adults that day, if you give birth to the alchemy, you will do the opposite, and you will be backlashed, but you insist on doing it your own way."

"My lord and my concubine, there are a total of 99 children, not one of them." Wei Su had already led someone to fish all the children out of the potion, and each of them was wearing a coat of Jiang Xian's personal guard.

They didn't cry or make trouble, they cuddled together like little drowned chickens, their eyes full of panic.

Shangguan Tao's eyes were filled with tears, the corners of his mouth twitched, guilt and powerlessness had tortured him beyond recognition.

Even though he is cowardly and selfish, he is a father after all.

Jiang Xian was aroused with compassion, and patted him on the shoulder symbolically to express comfort.

Qian Zuisheng's expression froze, his eyes as cold as a deep pool fixed on Duan Chenghong's face: "Who did you practice this pill for?"

Everyone present, except Jiang Xianjing, was stunned.

Everyone was so busy that they didn't notice this problem at all.

Duan Chenghong was in his prime, so he naturally didn't need the immortality pill.

Hearing this, Duan Chenghong suddenly sneered: "Is the concubine wanting to impose a crime? Needless to say, this elixir of immortality is for the official himself. There is no one behind the official's orders. I am afraid that the prince and the concubine will be disappointed." .”

After speaking, he turned his head to the other side, with a look of death.

"Lord Duan, don't worry..." Jiang Xianjing smiled and tightened Qian Zuisheng's cloak, "I haven't thought about it, you can think about it slowly, when you arrive at the Imperial Palace, there are plenty of opportunities to speak."

After Jiang Xianjing finished speaking, he waved to Wei Su, signaling him to evacuate the children first.

Wei Su directed the children to evacuate, and Jiang Xian touched Qian Zuisheng's face in shock: "Is it cold?"

Qian Zui shook his head.

"Wait a minute..."

It was Duan Chenghong who spoke.

Everyone was busy evacuating the children, but no one paid attention to Duan Chenghong. He broke away from his bodyguard at some point and ran towards the burning alchemy furnace.

He was holding a black jar in his hand, and kept throwing black powder out.

"It's gunpowder!"

Ah Xiang blurted out.

"Duan Chenghong, don't get excited." Jiang Xian took a step forward in shock.

Duan Chenghong brought the fire-powder pot closer to the alchemy furnace: "Don't come here, don't anyone come here, I'm going to die here today, and you all have to be buried with me."

"Don't get excited..." Jiang Xian took half a step back in shock, with one hand in front of him to attract Duan Chenghong's attention, and the other hand to signal Wei Su to lead the children away first.

Unexpectedly, the maddened Duan Chenghong immediately saw Jiang Xianjing's plan: "Stop! My officer said, no one can leave."

"Okay, let's not go, you put the jar down first, let's have a chat, shall we?"

"My lord, are you begging me?"

Jiang Xianjing didn't hesitate: "Yes, Lord Duan, I beg you, if you have something to say, don't hurt these children."

Duan Chenghong was so proud that she couldn't help laughing out loud: "Hahaha, okay, okay, my mighty Prince Du, the proud son of heaven, even begs me sometimes, hahaha, happy, really happy... ..."

"Prince Du, ah bah! I'll give you three-point thin noodles, and you're really out of breath. You're lucky. You were born with a golden spoon. Just like you, if you want to put it in the homes of ordinary people, you may even give it to me." I don't even need to carry my shoes..."

"you!"

Qian Zui's face turned pale with anger.

Jiang Xianjing grabbed his cold hand: "Master Duan scolded well."

Duan Chenghong was extremely proud and laughed wildly: "Give me two fast horses and let me go..."

"Okay, I'll give it to you, don't be impulsive." Jiang Xian agreed wholeheartedly.

Ah Xiang took the opportunity to go around behind Duan Chenghong. He was wearing a wet robe, and he was about to drill into the alchemy furnace quietly.

Jiang Xian's pupils suddenly constricted in shock.

Before Ah Xiang's footsteps stepped in, Shangguan Tao pushed Ah Xiang away, and plunged into the raging fire.

Everyone present had no time to exclaim in surprise, the room instantly seemed to be leaking, and water gushed from all directions.

In the blink of an eye, the flame in the alchemy furnace went out.
