Zhi Xuan

Zhixuan's messenger arrived in Zhaodi, and arrived at the county town where Zhao Hao lived, but he didn't want to.

"Young Master is not in the city."

The acquainted officials received the messenger and told him that son Hao left the city two days ago to meet the pedestrians sent by Mohou.

The messenger wanted to ask, but seeing the serious expression of the other party, it seemed that it was not a good thing, so he finally suppressed his curiosity and swallowed the words that came to his lips.

"The accommodation has been arranged, please rest for now."

The subordinate officer obviously didn't want to say more, and the messenger didn't say much anymore, and stayed temporarily according to the other party's arrangement, and waited for Gongzi Hao to return to the city.

At this time, Zhao Hao had already led his army into a small city, and saw several passers-by carrying Mohou's book in the city.

Unlike the officials at the time of the wedding, all of them were angry. Although they behaved politely, they were not polite inside and out, and their words were a bit stinging.

It's no wonder that Moguo pedestrians behaved like this, it's really not to be ignored this time, it involves the son-in-law and the dowry clan daughter, it's so serious that it's life-threatening, no matter what, you have to ask Bei'an Guo for an explanation.

No matter how weak a country is, it still has dignity.

Such a serious matter has spread across the two countries.If Mohou doesn't show his due attitude, the country's face will surely disappear.

This has nothing to do with strictness, it is the bottom line of being a king and an elder brother.

If he can't correct his attitude and show the toughness he should have, the people of Mo Kingdom will overthrow him without the need for others to destroy him.In order to survive, you can do it. It is related to the dignity of the country, you must not continue to shrink your neck, and you have to ask for an explanation when you are attacked by troops.What's more, they are the victims, and the reason is on their side.The matter continues to ferment, and when it spreads throughout the vassal states, the one that suffers the most will be Bei'an!

"My daughter has only been married for a few months, but she has suffered such a disaster at home. The life and death of the three dowries is unpredictable. I hope your country will give an explanation and severely punish the perpetrators!"

In the face of the mighty Bei'an country, Mo country officials are rarely so tough.What's more, they are facing the son Hao who is famous all over the world, and he can be bold and courageous without changing his face, which is even more admirable.

Zhao Hao has already learned the general idea from the letters of Shi Zixuan, grasped the cause and effect of the incident, and understood that it is indeed his own fault.Therefore, he did not show dissatisfaction with the pedestrian's harsh words, but listened patiently to the other party before conveying Bei'an Hou's will, saying that he would definitely give Mo Guo an explanation.

"It's getting late today, and at dawn tomorrow, I will send someone to escort Jun and his party to the northern capital."

With Zhao Hao's attitude, even if he is justified, it's hard for pedestrians to pester him any longer.After discussing with each other, they accepted Zhao Hao's arrangement and went to rest in the arranged house together.

When the pedestrians left, Zhao Hao pinched the center of his brows, thinking about what happened in the northern capital, he was a little upset.

Mohoumei married son Xun, and at first it was considered peaceful.

It is about the marriage of the two countries, with the king's will, and Mrs. Mo's beautiful appearance and gentle temperament, the son is very satisfied with his new wife, and the couple can be regarded as harmonious.If things go on like this, even if they don't feel like glue, they can respect each other like guests.

After a period of time, the son's mansion was calm and calm, even though a daughter from the Bei'an clan married in, it did not cause any disturbance.In the eyes of outsiders, wives and concubines get along harmoniously.

Looking at it from top to bottom, Chaozhong thought that this marriage was very appropriate, so they gradually stopped paying attention.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for everyone to feel relieved that something happened.

The three companions brought by Mrs. Mo were suddenly poisoned, and they were all unconscious for two days.

Afterwards, it was found that the poison was in the diet, a small amount at a time, many times in a row, it was difficult to be found.None of the three concubines survived, and all of them were dying.

The doctor sent by the king went to the government for treatment and found that not only the concubine was poisoned, but even Mrs. Mo had been poisoned, but the toxins accumulated in the body were not enough, and the symptoms were not as obvious as the concubine, and it was so severe that she fell into a coma and lost consciousness.

As soon as this matter came out, there was an uproar in the court.

The servants in the son's mansion were not strict with their tongues, and the news could not be concealed. Once it spread, it quickly caused an uproar in the city.No matter the common people of the country or the foreign businessmen, there is a lot of discussion.

It's only been a short time since Mohoumei married into Beiducheng, and this kind of thing happened, except for the lack of strictness in the son's house, it can be seen how cruel and merciless the poisoner is.

The cause of death of Zhixuan's biological mother, Mrs. Liang, and her concubine were also suspected, but because the attackers were very careful and their methods were concealed, even if Dong Lianghou thought it was wrong, there was neither evidence nor physical evidence. attack.

Not so this time.

The illnesses of the concubines broke out suddenly, and when they gathered together, the symptoms were exactly the same, and poison was found in the sauce and pickles commonly used by several people, and even the yellow-mouthed children would not believe that someone had poisoned them.

What's worse, Mrs. Mo was not spared either, it was only because she didn't like pickled vegetables that she didn't fall into a coma with her companion.

After the doctor went to the house, he carefully inspected the sealed pickles and sauce, took out the fishy membrane-like substance from the jar of pickles, and picked out a few pieces of minced meat from the jar where the sauce was stored. It looked like white meat, but it was actually chopped meat. Crushed mushrooms, mixed with minced meat are hard to spot.

After checking all the sauces and pickles, the doctor finally confirmed that only the meals of Mrs. Mo and the three concubines had problems.The evidence is too obvious to cover up even if you want to.

Fortunately, Mrs. Mo's poisoning is still shallow, and it is easy to detoxify.

The three concubines were fed the decoction and were still unconscious, at least temporarily saving their lives.

In order to prevent accidents, and he didn't want to involve himself in it, the doctor personally cooked the soup and delivered it to Mrs. Mo himself. He watched the other party swallow it and confirmed that there was no problem.

This time the incident was really too big, and there was an uproar in the city of Beidu, and all kinds of rumors came out frequently, which could not be suppressed at all.

In a short period of time, it was sent back to Mo country with the caravans, which shocked the whole country.

They are all marrying younger sisters. Those who marry to Dongliang country are safe and well, and they have sent back letters not long ago;

In such a situation, it is impossible for Marquis Mo to just sit idly by, and the whole country of Mo will not agree.

Several vassal states who heard the news were all watching the jokes, and some even gloated. They wanted to see how the Bei'an Congress would react, whether they would find the culprit to appease the anger of the Mo State, or simply turn around and destroy this small country.

Under the eyes of all parties, Bei'anhou decided to catch the murderer.Because of this order, Young Master X was in a state of desperation all day long.

He never dreamed that his wife and concubine would have an accident together, and one of them would pass out directly in front of him.In contrast, several other concubines from the Bei'an Guo clan were safe and sound.

In such a situation, it is easy to point the finger of suspicion at the latter.

The women of the clan obviously knew a little bit, and while crying to Young Master Xun about their innocence, they sent people home to discuss countermeasures.

The poison in Mrs. Mo and the concubine has nothing to do with them, but before that, they did do it.

Unlike strong poisons, they are very measured, choosing cold and slightly poisonous herbs.Crushed and mixed with food, it will not kill people, but it can make it difficult for women to conceive.

They thought they were doing it without anyone noticing, but they didn't expect that after the mantis stalks the cicada and the oriole, there are even more ruthless people who not only want to poison these women from the desert country, but also want to use them as scapegoats!

Even as a side branch, she still has the confidence of a clan girl.How can such framing be tolerated, naturally there will be trouble!

It doesn't matter if one person makes a scene, several clan women make a scene together, and there is a family fanning the flames behind it. The young master is one head and two big.

For the first time since his birth, in the eyes of Chinese people, his limelight surpassed that of Gongzi Hao.

But he didn't want such limelight at all!

However, there were twists and turns in the matter, and rumors spread from nowhere, spreading that the Xiaoyou family was dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law, and also secretly hated the clan that pushed her son into the marriage, and secretly sent people to do it, and even planted blame.

As soon as the rumors came out, they grew wildly like weeds in an instant, and quickly spread throughout the city.

Zeng Shen killed people, and the three became tigers.

It's also because Xiaoyou's reputation doesn't have a good reputation, and he couldn't argue with the rumors mixed with truth and falsehood.She did have a little dissatisfaction with her daughter-in-law and resented the clan, but she never poisoned anyone!

But no one believed it.

In the end, even the son and daughter began to wonder if she did it.

The rumor spread more and more widely, and its power was beyond imagination, even the people of Mo country had heard of it.

It is impossible for Mohou to remain silent.Regardless of whether it was the clan girl or the Xiaoyou clan, this matter must not be exposed easily.For this reason, Marquis Mo will send a traveler, ordering him to bring the official letter of credence to the northern capital, no matter what, he must ask for an explanation.

The Marquis of Bei'an couldn't refuse the people from the Mo country. Considering his dignity as a great prince, he had to be very courteous, so he asked Zhao Hao, who was stationed in the border area, to meet him first, give him enough face, and then send someone to escort him to the northern capital. .

Zhixuan's fief was always busy, and most of the people's energy was concentrated on the autumn harvest, assassins, and paying tribute. In addition, there were no caravans, so it was difficult to obtain news from other countries. Naturally, they didn't know what was going on in the northern capital.

As a result, the messenger went straight to the county seat of Zhaodi after setting off, so he was in vain and failed to see Gong Zihao immediately.

Fortunately, the pedestrians in Moguo were in a hurry to go to the northern capital, and they set off at dawn.Zhao Hao didn't need to personally escort him, he led his army back on the same day, much earlier than the officials expected, and did not keep the messenger waiting for long.

"A letter from Young Master Xuan?"

Arriving at the residence, just after returning to the mansion, Zhao Hao got a report from the mansion order, and Zhixuan sent someone to send a letter.

Thinking of the previous agreement between the two, Zhao Hao guessed in his heart, changed into a long robe, and ordered someone to bring the messenger.

It was not the first time for the messenger to visit Zhaodi, nor was it the first time to see Gong Zihao.But in front of the other party, he would still unconsciously tense up.

Gongzi Hao's face is like a crown of jade, but he looks like a murderous god.

The more people who are familiar with the battlefield and killing, the more clearly they will see.Just like facing a ferocious beast, out of the instinct of survival, vigilance will be born unconsciously, even if the opponent is not hostile at all.

Ignoring the nervousness of the messenger, Zhao Hao opened the bamboo slips and carefully read the contents.Gradually, the corners of the mouth curled up a bit.

"Young Master Xuan Ke ordered you to bring the message?" Zhao Hao asked after putting down the bamboo slips.

"My son, there is none." The messenger replied.

Zhao Hao nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He took a blank bamboo slip and knife and pen from the side of the case, and wrote a reply on the spot.

In the letter, he agreed to meet anywhere and had no objection to the meeting time.

From Zhixuan's letter, Zhao Hao could see the importance and sincerity he attached to this meeting.Quite unexpectedly, the restlessness caused by Beiducheng was completely wiped out.

Thinking of all the things in the son's house, Zhao Hao felt more and more that it was a wise move for him to accept the divine bird pendant.

After writing the letter, Zhao Hao sealed it himself, handed it to the messenger face to face, and sent someone to carry a basket of berries and a dendrobium pearl with him.

Sincerely, the retainers, the pearls are about the size of a fingertip, pink and white in color, very rare.

The berries are unique to Zhao, and taste sweet, but the fruit period is not long. Every year when it matures near the end of autumn, the vines will wither in early winter, and the fruit will rot and become inedible.

On the way back from hunting, Zhao Hao had a banquet with Zhixuan, and accidentally discovered that Zhixuan was happy.This time when I received a letter, I suddenly remembered this matter, and immediately ordered people to pick and pick them, and sent them to Zhidi together with the pearls.

The messenger rode his horse and swung his whip day and night, and it took only two-thirds of the time to return to Zhidi with Zhao Hao's letter and gifts.

Zhi Xuan was not surprised by the content of the reply letter, but was somewhat surprised when he saw the pearls and berries sent.

Forget about pearls, after all, he also sent jade to Zhao Hao.

What does berry mean?

Looking at the sweet smelling fruit after being washed, Zhi Xuan fell into deep thought, and a sentence floated out of his mind inexplicably: Yiqi Hongchen concubine laughs.

Stop!

Zhi Xuan pinched his forehead hard, it was all a mess.

Isn't it just reciprocity, if Zhao Hao can send it, he can do it too!

That afternoon, Young Master Xuan led his people to the medicine field, and in front of the witch doctor and doctor Sang, he brutally plundered the fruits of their hard work.In the end, two sheep were left behind, and they walked away with the spoils.

The witch doctor was dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief.

Doctor Sang patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "If you want to open up, just get used to it."

He has been robbed by Zhixuan since the Western Capital City, and now someone is finally here to keep him company, so he doesn't have to feel aggrieved by himself anymore, which is very good.
