Great Tang Southern Emperor

"Is it really a plague?" Qi Xian involuntarily took two steps back and moved a little far away from Ji Liang. Although he was going to die today, since he could be buried in the ground whole, who would want to go down to meet his ancestors with a broken face?
Seeing this, Ji Liang immediately defended himself: "Brother Qi, don't be nervous, I'm really not contagious, otherwise Dr. Ji Chuntang, Mr. Yipinzhen Wang, Taoist Kongshan who treated me...why wouldn't they be infected?" What about infection?"
"Master, the doctors that Master Ji said have already been infected." The servant hadn't left yet, and immediately interjected after hearing the words: "I went out to do some shopping, but I heard rumors that several doctors came from Master Ji's house. Not long after I went back, my body was covered with blisters, and the blisters would rot when touched, and wherever the pus inside flowed, the same blisters would appear... Now the streets are full of panic."
"What a terrible plague." Qi Xian really couldn't believe Ji Liang this time. You can rest assured after rubbing off a layer of skin.
"Brother Qi, let's go quickly, Brother Lan and the others should have been waiting for us at the gate of the city." Regardless of Qi Xian's disgust, Ji Liang immediately urged, fearing that something would happen again.
"That's fine, we have to make some preparations before we leave... Hurry up and prepare two veils for us." The last sentence was addressed to the servant. causing panic.And he also had contact with Ji Liang just now, so a veil is also very necessary, otherwise, if he gets sick while on the road, it will be too ugly.What's more, he and Ji Liang are walking together, one is wearing a veil, the other is not wearing anything, such a combination is too weird.
Soon, the two of them walked out of the other courtyard of the Qi family with veils on. Their attire did not attract the attention of others, because the news of the outbreak of the plague in Huazhou City had spread in a small area at this time, although the official has not yet confirmed it. But the believers have already started to panic, so many people wear cloaks or masks when they go out. Qi Xian and Ji Liang are at most dressed a little better, but they don't look very conspicuous among the crowd of masked people. .
Soon came to the gate of the city, and sure enough, Qi Xian saw about a dozen people gathered together. Although all of them covered their faces, Qi Xian recognized their identities from their figures: "Brother Wu, Lan Brother, Mr. Heshan...you all came so early."
"Hey, how can I sleep when this kind of thing happened?" Wu Dou, the brother Wu in Qi Xian's mouth, sighed. He was also one of the infected people, and he was the first to discover the infection. Last night, shortly after he went back to sleep, he felt uncomfortable all over his body. As a result, he saw blisters on his body after lighting the candle... So, his family was shocked, and he hasn't slept together since last night. Eye……
"I said this must be Li Zhen's conspiracy. I heard that in order to stabilize Nanyang, he used the trick of spreading plagues more than once, killing many people. This time he must be doing something, otherwise what in the world Is there such a coincidence?" Mr. He Shan looked angry, he was also the one who got tricked, and he had a bad impression of Li Zhen, so he naturally put the shit on Li Zhen's head.
"Hey, don't say that, Mr. Heshan. You can't just rely on guesswork for this kind of thing, and we don't have evidence. And don't forget that Li Zhen is a royal family. We don't have evidence. That is to arrange the royal family. Once Li Zhen catches this Hold on, with his character, he will never spare us." Lan Pingzhi smiled wryly, and he was also tricked, but fortunately his mentality is better, so his reason is still there.
Qi Xian quickly terminated this meaningless discussion: "Don't say this, everyone. No matter what, today is the day we leave. What's the point of being sick or not? And if this is really Li Zhen conspiracy, then we must go to see him sooner and destroy his conspiracy, otherwise it will be too late."
"Yes, Brother Qi is right. Let's hurry up. The most important thing is to destroy Li Zhen's plot." Zhou Tai, also known as Brother Zhou, said, he is one of the few people who has not been infected. One of the people, there is no pressure to say this.
"Alright, then let's go."
"..."
Li Zhen's camp is not far from Baima (the seat of Huazhou is located in Baima), or in other words, the camp is just outside the county seat, which is why the Blood Dragon Guards were able to sneak into the city to poison in such a short time last night s reason.
Because of this, Qi Xian and the others arrived outside the camp in less than a quarter of an hour, but today's camp looks a little different from usual...
Among all the old people, Qi Xian's eyes are the best, even better than those of many young people. According to the standards of later generations, both eyes are 15, so he is also the first to notice the big The battalion is unusual—from a distance, it can be seen that the defense is much stricter than before. There are thirty soldiers guarding the gate alone, and the surrounding sentry towers are full of elites. The steel knife was unsheathed, the crossbow arrows were stringed, and even the cannons that were usually hidden were pulled out and placed on the outermost periphery of the camp, ready for battle... More importantly, Qi Xian clearly saw that at the main entrance of the camp , there was a person dressed as a general, this person was Li Zhen's confidant General Cheng Chuliang, I saw Cheng Chuliang was fully armed, with a serious face, standing at the door like an unshakable iron mountain.
"Did something happen?" The bad premonition in Qi Xian's heart was getting stronger and stronger, and he couldn't help speeding up a few steps, and the rest of the people had no choice but to follow.
"General Cheng, you are..." How could Qi Xian be so polite to Cheng Chuliang at any other time?They usually call them by their first names, including Li Zhen, they all call them by their first names directly, in order to anger Li Zhen, but Li Zhen has never been fooled.
But today's situation is a bit different, Qi Xian has an ominous feeling, he feels that his plan may fail or not, so he unconsciously becomes more polite in tone.
Cheng Chuliang didn't pay attention to Qi Xian, but glanced at everyone's masked faces, and said with a sneer, "Sure enough, you are the culprit... Arrest them all..."
"Yes." The soldiers promised loudly, and this time they were no longer polite to them. They rushed forward and arrested everyone including Qi Xian, and the attack was so heavy that Qi Xian could clearly hear the arm of Wu Dou next to him. There was a crisp crunching sound, and I didn't know if the bone was broken or just dislocated...
"What are you doing? Do you want to die?"
"Cheng Chuliang, you are so courageous, you dare to treat us like this."
"Where's Li Zhen? Let Li Zhen come to see me, I want to ask him, is this his good subordinate?"
"So disrespecting the elderly, Li Zhen is really well-bred, no wonder he would be such a traitor."
"You are finished, you are dead, after today you just wait for your reputation to be lost."
"Hahaha... I knew that Li Zhen is not a good bird, now the fox's tail is showing?"
"..."
Those old men are naturally not easy to provoke. When they see themselves being treated like this, they will naturally curse, some threaten, and even laugh out loud, but they don't hear any fear of begging for mercy, because Cheng Chuliang's behavior at this time is just right. After agreeing with their wishes, it's too late for them to be happy, how could they be afraid?
Chapter 1257 See through?so what?
Chapter 2 and four see through?so what?
All the old men were full of joy, but they were full of curses on their faces. Only Qi Xian was alone, and his face became very ugly, because only he understood that Li Zhen must have turned his face this time, but he turned his face It will definitely not follow their script, at least the result may not be what they want, Li Zhen must have some deeper conspiracy or plan...
"Hahaha..." Cheng Chuliang was insulted, but he didn't see any anger, but he looked up to the sky and smiled: "Curse, you can scold as much as you want, anyway, today is your death day, so I will be generous and let you scold enough , the province went down and met Lord Yan, and said that I disrespected the elderly..."
"What do you mean?" Qi Xian's complexion changed wildly, and the ominousness in his heart became more and more serious.
Cheng Chuliang didn't even look at him, but said: "Hehe, I have caught all these traitors who spread the virus, tried to murder the prince, and entrap our brothers. Otherwise, if I let one go, I will never let it go lightly."
"Wait, what are you going to do?" Qi Xian asked loudly again, feeling more and more wrong in his heart, and what made him even more puzzled was, why did Cheng Chuliang say that he and others were murderers when he was clearly the victim? What about the prince's traitor?
Wait, spreading a virus?
With a flash of inspiration in Qi Xian's heart, he grasped the key point in Cheng Chuliang's words, and then connected the previous and subsequent events together, and immediately understood the truth of the matter...
"So that's the case, it's really a good plan..." Qi Xian, who had figured it out, suddenly smiled bitterly in his heart, but the matter had come to this point, he understood it too late, and he and others had already fallen into Li Zhen's hands, so how could things go wrong? A little turnaround?Listening to the companion who was still yelling at him, Qi Xian felt endless irritability and disgust in his heart at this time. He is really a group of brainless people. He is still so rampant at any time. Doesn't this mean that he is throwing his head at Li Zhen? Is the steel knife delivered below?And this time the death is different from the past, even if I die this time, it will be in vain, not to mention the reputation and benefits behind me, even my family members will suffer along with it... I have really been blind all my life , I actually made friends with such a bunch of people.
What he saw and heard along the way also confirmed Qi Xian's guess, because the soldiers he saw along the way could no longer see the respect and awe they used to have in their eyes, but instead they were filled with endless loathing and resentment, obviously It was Li Zhen who told them something that made them show such an attitude.
When everyone was escorted into Li Zhen's big tent, the people who were still shouting and yelling suddenly closed their mouths. It was not Li Zhen's majesty that shocked them, but the scene in front of them subconsciously felt that The situation was not good - because in Li Zhen's big tent, Li Zhen was sitting on the main seat, and beside him stood a group of murderous generals, who were looking at them with malicious eyes.
None of this is important. The important thing is that in front of Li Zhen, there are a group of masked old men kneeling impressively. They are the companions who tried their best to persuade Li Zhen to give up fighting for the seat. A piece of blood that hasn't been cleaned up... In this situation, as long as you are not an idiot, you will understand what happened here before.
Cheng Chuliang came to Li Zhen's side: "Your Highness, the person has already arrived, exactly as we guessed."
Li Zhen stared at Qi Xian, and slowly said: "Very good, take off their veils, and save some people from saying that we killed innocent people indiscriminately."
"Yes." Du He next to him responded and waved his hand. Immediately, some soldiers stepped forward and took off everyone's face scarves. Nearly [-]% of them had black and purple pimples on their faces. The blisters were obviously infected, and only a few people, like Qi Xian, still had clean faces.
"Li Zhen, what do you mean? Even if we are infected with chickenpox, so what?" Lan Pingzhi asked suspiciously, "What does this have to do with arresting us?"
"Of course it has something to do with it." Before Li Zhen could speak, Du He next to him gritted his teeth and said, "You all have ulterior motives, and you come to meet the prince even though you are clearly infected with the plague. You clearly want to use yourself as the source of the disease to infect the prince. ...Fortunately, the crown prince is blessed with the blessings of heaven, and he was not infected with any serious diseases, but even so, hundreds of our brothers were infected by you...It's a pity that they are all elites in battle, and they did not die on the battlefield. Instead, he died under a conspiracy and was killed by a group of bad old men, it is really sad..."
"What do you mean?" Everyone was dumbfounded. According to Du He, they planned to place the source of the plague on their own heads?And not only did he want to pin the shit pot of spreading the plague on his head, but also, judging from what Qin Huaiyu meant, he also planned to convict himself of murdering the current prince?
Immediately, all the new elders were furious, and there were endless grievances that were hard to express. God is sorry, they did come here with ulterior motives, but they just wanted to destroy Li Zhen's reputation. The plague really had nothing to do with them. It doesn't matter, they are victims too.
And some smart people, like Qi Xian, have already seen through Li Zhen's plan, and they don't know whether to be angry or justify. They have indeed done many bad things in their lives and framed many people. How dare anyone treat them like that?Now someone really put a shit bowl on their heads, but they still couldn't explain it. At this moment, they finally felt what Li Zhen's depression felt like a few days ago.As for the excuse, they didn't know where to start. Li Zhen had already arranged everything, so how could they justify?
"Fart, this is clearly your conspiracy. You directed and acted to arrange all of this. What does it have to do with us?" Lan Pingzhi was furious. He was planning to frame himself, so he immediately jumped up: "Don't believe Li Zhen's words, all of this is his conspiracy. I know that he has a bacteria team that specializes in plague research. In Nanyang these years, there are no shortage of this team. They committed murder, and the number of people who died in their hands was no less than tens of millions. This time the plague must have been caused by Li Zhen, otherwise... poof..."
"Presumptuous, framing the royal family, you deserve death." Cheng Chuliang slowly withdrew the bloody Tang Dao from Lan Pingzhi's body, his face was cold: "I warn you, you can eat indiscriminately, and you can't talk indiscriminately. It’s okay to sue the prince, but the premise is that there must be evidence, if there is no evidence to fabricate it out of thin air, it is framing the prince... My knife is not made of wood.”
"Heh...heh..." Lan Pingzhi didn't die for a moment. He lay on the ground and looked at Cheng Chuliang in disbelief, and then at Li Zhen. He still couldn't believe that Li Zhen dared to kill him.That's right, he did come here today to die, but in their plan, they should hang themselves in front of the camp, and then ruin Li Zhen's reputation. Given Li Zhen's previous attitude towards them, he probably wouldn't take the initiative .But what he didn't expect actually happened, and it was Cheng Chuliang's own hands...
A thought suddenly flashed in Lan Pingzhi's mind, and he finally understood everything - it is said that people's minds are the most ethereal before they die, and some people even recall their lives before they die, and some of their original thoughts Forgotten things will be remembered again.Although Lan Pingzhi didn't reach such a level, but in a state of emptiness, he finally connected everything before and after, and understood Li Zhen's conspiracy, but the matter has come to this point, even if he understands, and How can it be?He didn't even have the strength to speak now, so he could only close his eyes in despair with endless regret.
"You..." Cheng Chuliang's attack shocked everyone. Although Qi Xian had already guessed everything, he never thought that Li Zhen would be so decisive...
Cheng Chuliang turned his head and glanced at Qi Xian with a murderous look, and said coldly, "What's wrong with me? Are you still going to clear up this traitor who slandered the crown prince? Hmm?"
Qi Xian was taken aback: "No, no, I didn't mean that. It's just that you said that we were the ones who infected the plague and killed many of you. This is Hong Guoguo's slander, as you have seen , Many of us have been infected, isn't your statement too one-sided?"
"Do you think we are framing you?" Du He sneered: "Since you have said all this, I want you to see clearly, so that you don't say that we are killing innocent people... Yu, you all come in, let everyone present take a good look at who is doing the harm."
