Quick Travel: Crazy criticism of the host and his love for him

After letting Mei leave, Yan Yu lit a pot of incense and fell asleep on the couch.

[Host, let me tell you there is no need to be so anxious. Mengyuantang and Hengxu Pavilion have been killing people and selling goods all year round, and they also have a lot of money. Now that the wind is so tight, they can wait for the storm to pass and then find a way to give it away. 】

Yan Yu looked a little lazy, and she felt a little drowsy smelling the incense.

"Prince Xianjin's wealth has disappeared. King Ying is fighting on the frontier and burning money every day. Do you think the emperor is not interested?"

"If he is really determined to get it, let the guards surround the whole city, search from house to house, and dig three feet into the ground. It is not a certainty that the money will enter the treasury."

"I have worked hard, but I don't want to end up in vain."

[Uh... not really, He Lianxi was not locked in a conch...]

"Hmm..." He responded lightly, not very interested and didn't want to continue this topic, so he just leaned back and went to see Duke Zhou.

Meanwhile, the Royal Palace.

The emperor was listening to his confidants report on the latest situation in the Xianjin Palace.

The fire in Prince Xianjin's palace was like a slap in the face in front of everyone, how could the emperor not be angry.

"Your Majesty, Wu Zuo said that everyone in the palace was poisoned. The poison was in the cooking water, so that everyone in the palace was infected, giving the murderer an opportunity."

"My subordinates conducted many investigations and found out that the poison came from Mengyuan Hall. However, when my subordinates took people to Mengyuan Hall to pick up the people, the place was empty and the building had already been deserted."

The emperor's eyes were cold, but his face was as still as a mountain.

"Have you found out where the money from Prince Xianjin's palace went?"

"...not yet."

"Is there any clue at the bank?"

"According to the manager of the bank, the man was dressed in black. He went to the bank with a token from Prince Xian Jin's Mansion and took away all the money."

"The money in the bank may have left Wendu, but the money in Prince Xianjin's palace must still be in Wendu. Strictly check the carriages and goods traveling, and send people to secretly keep an eye on the major wheat and cloth shops... Intensify patrols at night, and find that Catch all the sneaky people. We must find this thief!"

"Yes!"

Looking at the back of his confidant leaving, the emperor showed murderous intent.

He was able to kill everyone in Xianjin Palace under his nose and evacuate the entire palace. Such forces have threatened the entire Yingzhao and must be eradicated.

It was rare for the emperor to feel frightened. After sitting on the throne for decades, he thought he had great control over the court and even the world. But with such a force, he didn't even get the slightest hint of it before...

……

Chen Guogong's Mansion, study room.

"His Highness sent someone to ask about the situation here today, Yanshu, when will the people you sent to Jinzhou come back?"

"I received a letter yesterday and took people to Wendu. However, there were constant robberies and killings on the way, and the situation was not optimistic. People have been pretending to be witnesses to confuse the public. It can take as short as seven or eight days to arrive in Wendu, or as long as more than half a month..."

"If we send more manpower to respond, we must bring people to Wendu alive."

"Dad, you don't have to worry. My son has already sent someone to protect him. Just in case, he brought one more person back from Jinzhou."

"Hahaha... My son is a great talent. It's getting late, so I will have dinner with my father today."

The maids and servants filed in with dishes in their hands, and the father and son sat at the table. When they were eating happily, the housekeeper pushed open the door and ran in, sweating profusely.

"Master! Master!"

"You can't eat it! The food is poisonous!!"

Chen Guogong, who was about to scold the butler, suddenly stopped, and the hand holding the vegetables froze in mid-air.

"What did you say?"

The chopsticks clattered down, hit the plate, bounced and rolled to the floor.

"Master! Master...quickly! Spit it out!"

"Somebody come!"

"Quick! Get the spittoon quickly!"

"Somebody come!"

"Quick! Call the doctor!"

"Steward Liu, many people in the house... fell to the ground, vomiting blood!"

"Go find someone quickly!"

Suddenly, the entire Duke's mansion was in chaos.

The pain in his stomach began to surge, gradually intensifying from a tolerable mild, and then spreading to his limbs.

Blood flowed from his nose, and he felt dizzy for a while.

"Master?! Master, how are you? Doctor! Where is the doctor!"

Pei Yanshu frowned and grabbed the housekeeper's hand: "I can, don't worry about me, save dad..."

The Duke's Mansion was in chaos for three days, and then it gradually calmed down.

Pei Yanshu stood up with a pale face and called the housekeeper.

"Everyone has been arrested?"

"They're arresting them. They're arresting them. When they find something wrong, they'll arrest them. Master, please lie down quickly..."

"Has the result been announced?"

"Those people are speaking harshly, and Guard Wang is still interrogating them."

"Tell Guard Wang not to let anyone die, but to open their mouths."

The old housekeeper quickly answered yes and helped Pei Yanshu sit down.

When Yan Yu learned about this, he was at the dinner table at the back of Liang Dingyuan's court.

Yan Yu picked up the chopsticks and was about to get a piece of meat when Liang Dingyuan snatched the chopsticks away.

"Why are you so anxious? If you eat it later, you will starve to death. Let me wait until my father sees if it is poisonous..."

As he spoke, he took out a silver needle and inserted it into the dish.

"Be careful with your ten thousand year ship. The affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion are not over yet, something happened to Duke Chen's Mansion again. I, the Liang family, cannot follow in this footsteps."

Yan Yu's eyes flashed and she asked, "Dad, what happened to Chen Guogong's mansion?"

"I almost didn't get poisoned to death. This morning, Chen Guogong entered the Jinluan Hall in a sickly state. He knelt down in front of the main hall and said that His Highness had plotted to kill Chen Guogong's mansion and wanted to get rid of Chen Guogong's mansion. He cried bitterly and begged. Your Majesty makes the decision."

"This seems to be a frame-up. How could Mr. Chen Guogong not be able to see this because he is so young? He deliberately pulled His Highness down, and he didn't know what he was planning."

Yan Yu asked in confusion: "Why did Chen Guogong get poisoned?"

"I heard that someone poisoned the food. Most of the people in the Duke's Mansion are lying on the ground. Even his son is still in bed. We in the Duke's Mansion should pay more attention and investigate them all later. We must not Allowing people to enter the Marquis's residence will give them the opportunity to take advantage of it."

Yan Yu frowned: "..." Pei Yanshu was poisonous...

"Who poisoned the Duke's Mansion? And put the blame on His Highness." Yan Yu looked at Liang Yanting beside him thoughtfully: "Brother, will this involve the Hou Mansion?"

"The person who poisoned him has gone to the prison. Your Majesty will send someone to personally interrogate him. There will be help from both sides. Everything will be fine."

"Oh."

Yan Yu responded lightly, but then started to think.

[Host, could this be done by the second prince? 】

"perhaps."

[Could it be that he knew that the host had taken action against King Xian Jin, so he planned to get rid of you? After all, host, you were too arrogant on the first floor last time, so it’s normal for him to miss you. 】

[If my guess is correct, these poisoners will die. 】

"This is not obvious. Death to others or death to oneself is a personal choice."
