[Seventy-five] Cat control the rivers and lakes
Chapter 99:
Wu Zuo's words immediately stirred up waves in the court, especially Bai Yutang, who was extremely emotional.
"Sir, what did you say?"
"This old man has drugs on his body." Wu Zuo said again in a deep voice.
Bai Yutang was stunned, apparently he didn't believe Wu Zuo's words, "If that's the case, then why did Miss Meng and I go in afterwards without any problems?"
"The smell of this medicine is very light, and it dissipates easily. People will sleep peacefully after smelling it. Those who don't know it think it's just a sleep aid, so it's not easy for ordinary people to notice it. If Miss Gongsun reminded me, I wouldn't know about it."
"Then the question now is, why did Miss Gongsun know that Senior Meng was drugged without anyone else noticing it? Besides, whether it was before or after his death remains to be discussed."
Jiang Ping's words made Bai Yutang nod and applaud. This reason is enough to prove that Gongsun Junruo can do it afterwards in order to cover up Zhan Zhao's crime of forcing Meng Ruoxu to death. What's more, the body is now in Kaifeng Mansion. At the scene, even if the people from Kaifeng Mansion tampered with the corpse, no one else would know.
"Hero Jiang, you can slander Zhan, but please don't slander Jun Ruo." Zhan Zhao stepped forward with an angry expression, "Originally, Zhan planned to have Jun Ruo inspect Master's body tonight, but Jun Ruo just came back. How long did it take before you can catch your breath, all the heroes came to Kaifeng Mansion, why do you say something after the fact?"
"Fourth Young Hero Jiang, please show some respect." Gongsun Ce was also irritated, "Last night, Jun Ruo and I went out to search for clues, and when we got back to the mansion, we found out that someone had placed Senior Meng's body in front of the mansion's gate, and put it on display. The guards and others are all busy for Senior Meng's rest, the body is put in the coffin, and Junruo is still sick to help, I don't think you can afford to be a chivalrous person like you who spit out blood like this."
"You?!" Jiang Ping jumped up, but was held down by Lu Fang.
"Mr. Gongsun, it is Lu Fang who is not strict with his younger brothers, but they are also concerned about Senior Meng. They want him to go to the earth as soon as possible and have an explanation. That's why they are so irritable in their words. I hope you will be sympathetic."
After all, he was the calmest and most authoritative boss among the Five Rats, and a few words quieted the people on both sides.
Bao Gong ordered someone to carry the body down, then looked at Meng Chunni, and continued his interrupted interrogation, "Miss Meng, you said Mr. Meng was forced to death by Zhan Zhao, what evidence do you have?"
Meng Chunni glanced at Zhan Zhao, and said, "In my lord's words, my father left four words written in blood on the wall of the inn before he died."
"Oh," Bao Gong stroked his beard, "In this case, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu, you two stay here to decorate the mourning hall for Mr. Meng, and the rest of you will go to the inn with me to see what happened."
"Jun Ruo, how are you doing?" Gongsun Ce, who was closest to Gongsun Junruo, saw her pale face and looked like she was on the verge of falling, so he quickly supported her and asked with concern.
Seeing her like this, Zhan Zhao quickly went up to hold her body and let her lean into his arms, "Are you alright?"
She shook her head vigorously, and managed to force a smile, signaling to Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao that she was fine.
Gongsun Ce looked at Bao Gong and asked for instructions: "My lord, if she is not feeling well, you should stay in the government office to rest."
"Alright, Miss Gongsun, you should rest. You have worked hard during this time."
Gongsun Junruo bowed to Bao Gong, "Thank you, sir."
After Bao Gong and his group left, she didn't go back to her room to rest, but asked Zhang Long to let her help decorate the mourning hall together.Originally, Xiaohong could help, but she was a pregnant woman and couldn't bear the cold air. Fortunately, Xiaoyue volunteered, and one more person gave more strength.
What happened recently, if Gongsun Jun doesn't believe that things are as simple as they appear on the surface, she can be sure that there are two eyes secretly watching their every move, and these things are also closely related to the owner of those eyes.
Now that the opponent is in the dark, they are exposed in the light, and it is obvious who has the advantage.
Tonight, Meng Ruoxu's corpse appeared in front of the gate of Kaifeng Mansion for no reason. It seemed natural for the Five Rats and Meng Chunni to come to ask for the corpse, but there were too many coincidences, so many that she had to suspect that the enemy was near them. Their whereabouts are clearly grasped.Bao Gong brought so many people to the inn, with Zhan Zhao, Meng Chunni and the five rats present, he would have nothing to do, instead it was here in Kaifeng Mansion.Whether you say she is sensitive or worrying too much, I always feel that she should stay.
The room set up as a mourning hall is not big, and it is more than enough to place a coffin. The coffin is made of sandalwood with black paint, white silk tied into flowers is hung on the wall, and there is a big black word "Dian" underneath. .The entire mourning hall presents a very depressing atmosphere, and I don't know if it is an illusion, but there is a gloomy feeling when you walk in.
Zhao Hu said that it was old man Meng who had died for no apparent reason, and was unwilling to be reconciled, so Zhang Long gave him a sharp stare, blaming him for not opening which pot and which pot he was carrying.
Incense and candles were offered, and by the time everything was finished, it was already the second watch.Standing in front of the coffin and looking at the burning candle, Gongsun Junruo only felt that his vision was a little blurred.This matter is related to senior Meng, Zhan Zhao's master. The relationship between master and apprentice has made him lose his former calm, especially this sudden corpse.As his wife, she needs to be more mindful, instead of being played around by secret enemies.
"Miss Gongsun, you see that the decoration is almost done, but what else do you want to add?" Zhang Long came over and asked.
Gongsun Junruo looked at him, and silently said a few words to him. Zhang Long was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and suddenly felt a little itchy nose after speaking. She said in a voice that everyone could hear, and took the Follow Xiaoyue back to the room.
After sending Xiaoyue back to the room, Gongsun Junruo returned to the mourning hall again. As soon as Zhang Long saw her coming, he hurried up to greet her and said, "Sure enough, as Miss Gongsun expected, not long after Zhao Hu chased her out, Sha Qianli and Nine-Tailed Fox appeared."
"You didn't startle the snake, did you?"
"Of course not!" Zhang Long patted his chest, his face was full of I didn't lie to you, I was very obedient, "I followed what you said and observed in the dark, and found that the traitor changed the incense. I thought there must be something wrong with the incense, so I hid it after they left."
"Brother Zhang, you are doing very well."
Zhang Long smiled foolishly and said, "If you hadn't reminded me, I would have chased him out like that idiot. How did you know there was someone?"
Gongsun Junruo sneezed, rubbed the tip of his nose and said, "I just smelled the same scent as in the inn, and I thought that person was probably nearby." She should be grateful for her unusual sense of smell, because of this , she can be slightly stronger than others in medicine.
Zhang Long suddenly realized and nodded, just at this moment, Zhao Hu came in angrily, and he was angry that he didn't catch up with the person and was run away by the other party.Zhang Long glanced at Gongsun Junruo, smiled and said nothing—fortunately, they had countermeasures. Although Zhao Hu became the one who didn't know, he was suitable to be the one who fell into the enemy's trap, and if he didn't go out to chase, they couldn't either. do what.
Looking at Yinyue outside, Zhang Long said to Gongsun Junruo: "Miss Gongsun, I think it's getting late, you should go to rest early."
"No, I'll wait."
He knew who the person she didn't mention was, so he didn't say much. Anyway, he and Zhao Hu were keeping watch tonight, so it could be regarded as waiting with her.
Gongsun Junruo looked left and right at the gate of the mourning hall, and finally saw the tall and straight figure, and was about to go up to meet him, but saw the woman in white beside him, his junior sister Meng Chunni.
"Junruo? Why don't you go to rest?" Seeing Gongsun Junruo, Zhan Zhao hurried forward, "Look at you, your hands are so cold."
"I'm relieved to see you come back." She smiled, looked at Meng Chunni and said, "Miss Meng, the mourning hall has been set up, you are satisfied after looking at it, if you think there is something missing, you can mention it, we will try our best to do it. "
Meng Chunni didn't appreciate it, but bypassed Gongsun Junruo and entered the mourning hall, kneeling in front of the coffin.
"Jun Ruo..." Facing Meng Chunni's attitude, Zhan Zhao was in a dilemma.He knew that Meng Chunni didn't like Gongsun Junruo, and he could scold her a few words in normal times, but it was different now.
"Hurry up and comfort her, she needs you more than I do."
Zhan Zhao glanced at her gratefully, moved his mouth and finally only said "thank you", walked into the mourning hall and knelt beside Meng Chunni.
Walking out of the mourning hall, the night wind blows towards her head, blowing her loose hair, and the moon hangs high, like a huge silver plate, buckled in black velvet, so bright that the surrounding stars are dimmed.She turned her head and stared quietly at the two figures kneeling in front of the mourning hall, like a passing spectator.
After another two days, Gongsun Junruo was ordered to go to the palace to see the queen mother. Su Gonggong said that the imperial doctors were helpless, which was enough to show that the queen mother was seriously ill.
She wanted to say that the emperor praised her too much. After all, she was also from the Imperial Medical Bureau. Even those highly respected imperial physicians couldn't help, so could she?
"Miss Gongsun, don't tell me, since you showed Concubine Pang, her complexion has gradually improved, and the emperor also sent people to send nourishing tonics to her body from time to time, and now there is Empress Hui concubine serving her, probably It won't be long before I can get out of bed and walk around, and the imperial doctors say it's a miracle." Eunuch Su said as he walked, "It's just... so what if she gets better? She has fallen out of favor, and even if she has no worries about food and clothing in the future, it's nothing It's..." He didn't say any more, he knew that even if he didn't say it, Gongsun Junruo would understand what he wanted to express.
"The queen mother is seriously ill this time, and the emperor appointed you by hand."
"The queen mother has always been in good health, why did she suddenly fall ill?" She still remembered that when she went to visit Concubine Pang, the queen mother talked to her. Just fall down?
Eunuch Su sighed, "Hey...it's a long story..."
"Then please make a long story short, Eunuch."
Eunuch Su was taken aback for a moment, and then talked about the major events that happened in the palace recently.It turned out that the jade ruyi of the eight sage kings and the empress dowager's pearl were both stolen. The empress dowager couldn't afford to be ill because the pearl was given to her by the former emperor. The empress dowager regarded it as more important than her life, and now it was stolen , She couldn't bear it for a while, so she fell ill in bed.
"The emperor summoned Mr. Bao, presumably to ask him to thoroughly investigate this matter, dare to steal things under the eyes of the emperor, these villains are really impatient!"
Gongsun Junruo's eyelids twitched.
Not only the Empress Dowager's Pearl and the Eight Sage King's Yu Ruyi were stolen, but Bao Gong's Shangfang Sword was also stolen.But this matter, when Bao Gong met the emperor, he would naturally report it.
It seems that this time, Bai Yutang and the others are planning to make Bianjing a mess.
"Sir, what did you say?"
"This old man has drugs on his body." Wu Zuo said again in a deep voice.
Bai Yutang was stunned, apparently he didn't believe Wu Zuo's words, "If that's the case, then why did Miss Meng and I go in afterwards without any problems?"

"Then the question now is, why did Miss Gongsun know that Senior Meng was drugged without anyone else noticing it? Besides, whether it was before or after his death remains to be discussed."

"Mr. Gongsun, it is Lu Fang who is not strict with his younger brothers, but they are also concerned about Senior Meng. They want him to go to the earth as soon as possible and have an explanation. That's why they are so irritable in their words. I hope you will be sympathetic."
