Chapter 136: People sue officials and get beaten first
It is not easy to raise Gu worms. The most troublesome steps are the few minutes after they are raised.
During the process of the poisonous insect transforming into golden color, the owner who provides blood to the poisonous insect must think about the appearance of his enemy.
The owner and the Gu insect are connected and reach a consensus.
The Gu insect responded, its body turned golden.
Only then can it be considered a real success.
It's more like a curse than an ordinary poison.
The prince was mentally unstable and had lost too much blood recently. Whenever he saw someone coming to bleed him, he would scream in horror.
Based on his state, the emperor was always worried that he would fall short in the last step.
But compared with others, after all, the son who is the oldest, has the most blood, and is least likely to inherit the throne is the most suitable to be used here.
Now that he caught a glimpse of the golden appearance of the Gu insect, the emperor breathed a sigh of relief and it was done.
The hem of Yuan Jing's clothes was still stained with the prince's blood, which was really dazzling.
He asked, "Did things go well?"
Yuan Jing replied: "Don't worry, everyone who serves His Highness the Crown Prince hides his true face. Only Chang Qi's portrait is placed in the palace! If Your Highness wants to hold a grudge, he must only hate him."
"The Gu insect has just responded. Now if we find an opportunity to implant it into Chang Qi's body, His Majesty's wish will surely come true."
The emperor took the box and quickly covered it with care.
He looked at the window hesitantly: "Prince...how is it?"
Yuan Jing hesitated for a moment: "His Royal Highness is weak, and the imperial doctor said he needs to be recuperated."
"Okay, it's okay."
The emperor rolled up the box, and his figure seemed to be running away.
Yuan Jing looked back at the dusty East Palace plaque and sighed.
The job of a royal secret guard is not easy to do, and sometimes even he himself feels unethical.
But he had no other choice.
Xichang and Jinyiwei escaped from control one after another. Chang Qi himself was highly skilled in martial arts and was eyeing them.
Not only the emperor himself felt dangerous, but also Yuan Jing and his elders were nervous.
Find out the source of danger and eliminate it in time. Isn't this what their secret guards should do?
It's just a pity for that person's ability...
Yuan Jing thought sadly that if Chang Qi had not been sold to the royal family from the beginning, maybe he could have lived a good life elsewhere.
Yuan Jing just sighed for a moment, went in to confirm the prince's condition, and told the guards outside to watch strictly, strengthen patrols, and not let anyone or anything in the East Palace go out.
After doing all this, Yuan Jing continued to make a silent shadow behind the emperor.
At this time, Yuan Jing had no idea what a huge impact what would happen next would have on his peaceful secret guard career of more than thirty years.
……
As soon as Zhan Shuhua's spirit broke out in the prison, the prisoners on the same floor as her suffered.
More than a dozen female prisoners with weak constitutions began to have chattering teeth and cold limbs since that afternoon.
An old woman had a high fever that wouldn't go away.
Liu Yan asked the time traveler's imperial physician to help diagnose them.
Du Manzhi was not in a hurry to leave. She hadn't slept for two days in a row. After dealing with the heroine, she was a little tired and rested for a while in the room where she was changing shifts.
When she woke up and heard that female prisoners were falling ill one after another, she immediately realized and felt a little regretful.
"It's my fault for not reacting fast enough."
She underestimated Zhan Shuhua's resentment and failed to control her emotions.
If she had not argued with Zhan Shuhua, but had used her spiritual power to set up several layers of barriers in advance, the Yin Qi would not have leaked out, and these female prisoners would not have been hurt.
Most of the female prisoners who entered the imperial edict were family members of arrested officials.
Their father, brother, or husband committed a serious crime, and the whole family was sent in. The men and women were imprisoned separately. Sometimes it was necessary to pry important evidence out of their mouths.
The combination of physical punishment on the outside and mental intimidation on the inside makes some female prisoners' lives miserable.
The slightest hint of Zhan Shuhua's attack might be fine for ordinary people, but it would be worse for these people.
The imperial doctor prescribed different medicines according to each person's constitution, and asked people to grab the medicine and cook it in the rest room.
Du Manzhi helped look after the fire, chatting with the imperial doctor, and the time passed quickly.
She learned that the surname of this living treasure imperial doctor was Liu.
The name here is Lewis.
Liu's eyes were blank, and he continued to complain to her.
"It's quite comfortable to treat prisoners here, but it's really uncomfortable to enter the palace! I, Liu Yi, have to pay attention every step of the way, because I'm afraid that I can get in but not get out."
All the homophones are used, but it really doesn’t look like it has been worn for more than 20 years.
"Is it so difficult to be an imperial physician?" Du Manzhi asked.
Liu Yi: "What do you think? These noble people, I'm not telling you, are they sick? Do they have swelling on their skulls? If they are sick, they should tell the truth and prescribe the right medicine, but they are not willing to listen!"
"She's like a queen. She always complains about having a headache. She calls my uncle whenever she feels pain. My uncle is also miserable. If he wants to help her cheat, he must be careful when prescribing medicine. Don't ruin her good body."
Du Manzhi said with a confused look on his face: "Yeah."
She happened to know this too.
Qin Feng said that after the queen gave birth to twins, she relied on this disease to stay lazy. She left small things to others but never let go of big things.
The queen's twins were too young, not yet old enough to go to school, and were kept in her palace like precious eggs. Du Manzhi felt that she had no chance to meet them.
"And that idiot, who takes pills every day, why don't you kill him by eating him!"
Liu Yi has been here for so many years, but he still doesn't like the feudal monarchy in his heart, and he calls the emperor a fool when he opens his mouth.
Du Manzhi agreed wildly.
you do not say.
Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who wanted to live forever, such as her charming ancestor.
The wise and powerful man, the only Zheng Ge in the ages, died at the age of fifty. There is a saying in later generations that one of the causes of his death was erysipelas.
During the Wei and Jin Dynasties, people took Hanshi Powder, which was a social trend. Many people fell ill or even died due to overdose.
There were countless bloody cases before, but Emperor Daqian didn't learn from his lesson. He also believed that the alchemist he found was the most reliable, and took all kinds of elixirs for food every day.
This is... deserved.
Du Manzhi thought to herself, if it weren't for the high quality of the country your mother built, you wouldn't be thinking about becoming an immortal by taking drugs now.
Just go down and apologize to your mother and see if she beats you.
"Hey, the medicine is ready!"
Liu Yi poured out the medicinal soup and delivered it to a dozen cells in turn.
The female prisoners were so grateful that they couldn't help crying.
Liu came back wiping tears.
Liu Yan rested against the wall, raised his eyes and said, "You're still so emotional."
Liu Yi said with a cry: "That's the way I am, I will never see a woman cry in my life!"
Liu Yan snorted coldly.
"None of the people you just went to distribute medicine to has clean family backgrounds. When they first came in, rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves were stuck to their bodies and they couldn't be washed off."
Du Manzhi asked casually: "We are all one family? What crime did you commit?"
"Last year, when the water rose, the people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait did not receive subsidies and did not receive enough food. How much money was turned into the silk and satin on their bodies. If you just take a set of gemstones and noodles and sell them, think about how many mouths you can fill! "
Liu Yi suddenly realized: "It's the old bastard named Jiang from the Ministry of Industry!"
He stamped his feet in anger.
"Bah! What a pity for my prescription!"
Du Manzhi shook his head: "You just told me that doctors are parents, so you kicked your daughter out of her household registration so quickly?"
Liu Yi: "If you had told me earlier, I would have sent my apprentice here!"
Du Manzhi saw the signs: "What, you have a grudge?"
"Last year, huh, last year my cousin was sent there to treat the victims. He was trapped in the village where the plague was the worst, and he managed to save half his life!"
"If I had told you that someone named Jiang was here, I wouldn't have come!"
Liu cursed and walked up.
Liu Yan sneered at him: "Listen to your nonsense, why did you call me and why didn't you come?"
Liu Yi turned his back to her and shouted: "Next time!"
Du Manzhi burst into laughter.
At this time, the last medicine jar was ready to be put away, and she skimmed out the medicine.
"Just give it to me. If you have anything to do, leave first." Liu Yan said.
Du Manzhi: "No, whose is this?"
Liu Yan went to the front and took a look.
"There is only one grandma left. The one who is the most seriously ill is unconscious. Give me the medicine. I am very strong. If I can't feed her, just drink it."
Du Manzhi went with him.
On the way, I heard that the mother-in-law was not imprisoned for any crime.
There is a saying in ancient times: If the people sue the officials, they will be beaten first!
According to the laws of Daqian, those who go beyond the local governor to file a lawsuit must be severely punished to show the complainant's determination.
This old woman was the only one left in the family. She was a ruthless person. She walked to Kyoto and beat the drum to sue the local magistrate.
The reason is to embezzle disaster relief funds!
What's even more outrageous is that the official was worried that the victims would file a lawsuit.
He simply designated several villages as a plague area, prohibiting entry and exit, and locked in those who were not sick.
Many villagers starved to death.
……
"Come on, grandma, wake up and take some medicine." Liu Yan gently pushed the old woman's thin shoulder.
You can feel the heat even through the rough prison clothes.
Lai's mother-in-law's cheekbones were all red. She couldn't hear them calling her to take medicine and they were talking nonsense.
Du Manzhi didn't listen carefully at first.
However, my mother-in-law suddenly shouted "Your Majesty"!
The next few voices were all high-pitched and low-pitched calls from His Majesty, full of the old man's worries and concerns.
If you heard something wrong once by chance, and there are so many more later, and two people are listening with all four ears, it must be right.
Liu Yan leaned close to Du Manzhi's ear: "It sounds like someone leaving the palace."
Just now he was looking forward to the old woman waking up to take medicine, but now he is afraid of interrupting her.
Du Manzhi also responded in a low voice.
"Looking at her age, if she were an ordinary citizen who has never experienced big storms, she wouldn't be able to come and complain on her own."
From the disaster area to Kyoto, let alone her supplies and health problems, let’s talk about the homeless bandits along the way...
Even a strong man might fall down on the roadside, but an old lady with white hair miraculously did it.
Complaints to the imperial court and a slap in the face, this matter is not under the jurisdiction of the imperial edict.
But Lai Po Po appeared here with no traces of torture on her body.
She didn't believe it if this wasn't Wei Chenfeng's arrangement.
She tends to think that this is to protect her mother-in-law.
Because there are always some places in the world that high-ranking officials and nobles cannot reach out to, and prison is one of them.
It is not easy for people to be silenced here.
Liu Yan blinked, as if to say: Did he tell you this too?
Lai's mother-in-law said in a weak voice: "Your Majesty...save your Majesty..."
Du Manzhi's face changed slightly.
The experience of the past two days made her subconsciously say: "Which Majesty?"
In fact, no one else needs to give you the answer.
She had thought of it.
Liu Yan said that Lai's mother-in-law had been farming in the Yellow River Basin for many years. If the flood had not harmed her hometown, Lai's mother-in-law would have lived there until her death.
It is almost impossible for a poor and exiled old woman to interact with the noble Emperor in the palace.
What if Lai's mother-in-law came out of the palace?
If a palace maid reaches the age of twenty-five and returns home voluntarily, she can leave the palace. This rule existed when the late emperor was still alive.
Du Manzhi observed her mother-in-law's face and briefly sketched her life trajectory in her mind.
The year of drastic changes was...
Twenty-four years old!
Liu Yan tried to give her mother-in-law medicine, but she couldn't get it in.
"No, she always wants to talk, and I'm afraid I'll choke her if I pour it in."
Du Manzhi said: "I'll come."
Grandma Lai kept shouting to save His Majesty. Maybe she was present when the late emperor was killed.
She might know something.
Du Manzhi didn't care about anything else. He took out the Qinggong spiritual liquid, put a drop of it on her mother-in-law's eyebrows, rubbed it open, and guided the spiritual liquid to seep into her body.
Liu Yan had a lot of experience in dealing with dead people. When she saw her mother-in-law looking bad, she felt that there was no way she could be saved, at least with the bowl of soup in her hand.
The only hope lies with Du Manzhi.
Liu Yan untied her mother-in-law's collar to let her breathe easier.
After a few minutes, Lai's mother-in-law suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood, widened her eyes and shouted to the front:
"Master Wei, help!"
Her old soul traveled through the long river of time, and shouted to the empty figure in front of her a sentence that she would never have the chance to convey in this life.
After saying this, her regrets in this life were gone.
A reassuring smile appeared on Grandma Lai's lips.
With this sigh of relief, he fell on Liu Yan's shoulder and passed away suddenly.
Liu Yan touched her breath.
"...I'm out of breath."
Liu Yan felt sad for a moment and then wondered: "Who is Mr. Wei?"
Du Manzhi thought, probably his name is Wei Xingbang.
She had heard the late emperor's last words in the secret room: Wei Xingbang, save me.
And what my mother-in-law said just now: "Master Wei...save your majesty..."
If you still can't guess that the late emperor and Grandma Lai have a master-servant relationship, then she is stupid.
Going around and around in a circle.
The master and servant had not seen each other for many years and met in another way.
Du Manzhi took out the soul hook and skillfully caught the soul that had just floated out.
"Come on, mother-in-law, you have to walk to Kyoto. The long journey is too hard. Don't rush. Can we have a few words first?"
Lai’s mother-in-law looked blankly in her eyes: “Let’s chat for a while?”
As soon as the words came out, she felt something was wrong.
Isn't she very ill? Now she doesn't feel uncomfortable anymore. What kind-hearted person showed her the disease? She has to thank people in person.
It was too cold in the cell, so a handsome man ordered her to be given extra bedding, but her old bones were of no use.
At that time, he failed to prevent the prince from forcing the palace, and he also failed to find Duke Wei to save his life.
She was half asleep just now, and she seemed to hear Black and White Wuchang talking, and someone was coming to take her on the road.
When I opened my eyes, why were there two beautiful girls?
Lai's mother-in-law was stunned for a while and said to Du Manzhi carefully: "Little sister, you have to be careful. Next time you pretend to be a man, you have to cover your ears and eyes..."
Suddenly, her eyes froze.
Looking forward along her waist, a black rope with a faint light fell straight on the hand of the girl she called "little sister".
Lai's mother-in-law was shocked: "You, you are impermanent! God, where can there be such a symbol of female impermanence..."
