Chapter 171 A Long Meeting (2)
With a cute and gentle face, Wu Jiao loves to see him no matter what he sees.
Because Ying Yu hadn't come yet, Princess Mi played the piano by herself, and at this time Ying Yu came in a hurry.
As soon as Ying Yu came out, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were almost frightened. Ying Yu's face was pale and ugly, and his eyes were black and blue. Those who didn't know thought that Ying Yu had smoked a big cigarette, or had been sucked dry by a vixen!
Princess Mi was also taken aback, and said in amazement, "Mr. Jiang, are you alright? Do you want to see the medical officer?"
Ying Yu laughed dryly, cleared his throat, but was still very hoarse, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, please worry about it, Princess Chu. Ying Yu just... just caught a cold, and he drank too much wine yesterday, so he was so rude." , and ask the princess to forgive me."
Princess Mi hurriedly asked Ying Yu to sit down, and said: "Mr. Jiang's body is important, please sit down quickly. It doesn't matter if you can't study the rhythm today."
Ying Yu quickly waved his hands and said, "It's all right."
When Wu Jiao saw Ying Yu coming, he pretended to be a coincidence and walked out. Princess Mi and Ying Yu hurriedly got up to salute. Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Jiang Gong doesn't seem to have a good rest, why don't you go back first?" rest?"
Ying Yu said: "Since we have already made an appointment with the princess, how can we break the appointment and be rude to the beauty? Besides, Ying Yu is nothing serious."
Everyone sat down, Ying Yu was polite and seemed very considerate, and immediately pointed out that Princess Mi played inaccurately in a few places, and even helped Princess Mi adjust the timbre of the piano.
Princess Mi said in surprise and admiration: "Mi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out where it was. It turned out to be such a problem. Mr. Jiang is really powerful, and Mi really admires it."
Ying Yu said with a smile: "Princess, you are serious. At such a young age, the princess has such musical accomplishments. The future is bound to be limitless."
Princess Mi was praised, but she was a little shy, and she was very embarrassed. Wu Jiao saw that the momentum was wrong, and immediately arched Qihou. Qihou was eating snacks, talking about rhythm over there, and Qihou was holding the snack plate on the case. , silently gnawed on himself, and was suddenly pushed by Wu Jiao, almost choking, and hurriedly turned around to look at Wu Jiao.
Wu Jiu saw that Qi Hou's mouth was full of dim sum scum, which was a shame, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Qi Hou, then said in a low voice, "Don't you know how to play the piano? You can also show your hand."
It is true that Marquis Qi can play the qin. When he was in Yunmeng, Wu Jiu invited the monarch of E Kingdom to a banquet. Marquis Qi even pretended to be a violin master, dressed in purple, and played the qin again.
Qihou said with a smile: "Gu does know how to play the piano, but he is just a layman, how dare he make a fool of himself in front of the princess and Duke Jiang?"
When Wu Jiu heard it, it turned out that Qihou was not as good at playing as Princess Mi and Yingyu, so he immediately let Qihou continue to eat.
While Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were secretly biting their ears, Ying Yu had already stood up, went over and stroked Princess Mi's piano, not to mention, the tone was very pleasant, no wonder Princess Mi was fascinated by it.
When Ying Yu was playing the piano, there was an indescribable aura, as if she had removed her hypocrisy, her face revealed a trace of coldness and aloofness, and there was also a kind of absoluteness, and it was hard to say what kind of complexity it was.
Princess Mi listened, frowned, and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Jiang, what's on your mind? Or is it sorrow? The sound of the piano is so sour."
Ying Yu froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, thank you Princess Chu for your concern."
As he spoke, he moved out of the way and let Princess Mi sit back, and then he knelt on the ground, as if he was holding Princess Mi in his arms, and taught Princess Mi to play the piano from behind.
Princess Mi studied seriously and was very focused. Wu Jiao's eyes were about to breathe fire. Those two people are so close, how can this be possible! ?
Wu Jiu coughed hastily, and said, "I don't know if Mr. Jiang has had lunch, how about I invite Mr. Jiang to have a drink or not?"
Yingyu came in a hurry, it was too late to wash and change clothes, there was no time for lunch, Princess Mi heard this, and said quickly: "Mr. Jiang hasn't eaten yet, so let's eat quickly."
When Qihou heard that he was going to eat again, he was the first to agree, so everyone put aside the matter of playing the piano and prepared to go to eat first.
Both Wu Jiu and Qihou ate it, but Wu Jiu couldn't eat it anymore, but Qihou ate it with great relish. Ying Yu said at the banquet, "King Chu, Ying Yu is here to pay homage to the King of Chu on the one hand, and on the other hand I also want to implore the king of Chu, can you send two capable people in water power to my Jiangguo to have a look. Our Jiangguo has been flooded for years, and the people have suffered from it. It is just that Jiangguo is weak and cannot solve this problem, so I am generous. Shameless, I implore the King of Chu."
Wu Jiufang was about to speak, when Ziqing suddenly ran in from the outside and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, something happened in the school!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Ziqing said: "Just now people from the school came to report, saying that for some reason, all the students in the school have been poisoned, and the situation is not good now. The minister has asked Tang Wu to rush over first."
Wu Jiao was taken aback, and immediately stood up. Yingdu Academy is not a small school now. Today, the monarchs of many countries have sent their young masters to study. The sudden poisoning happened in the school. How could it be shocking? .
Wu Jiu got up quickly and said, "Is anyone poisoned?"
Ziqing said: "Back to the king, many people have been poisoned."
Wu Jiu became anxious now, and said to Ying Yu: "Mr. Jiang, the incident happened suddenly, and I will excuse you first."
Yingyu rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Yingyu is also very concerned about this matter, can you let Yingyu go with you? See if you can do your little bit?"
Naturally, Wu Jiu didn't refuse, and everyone hurriedly left to go to the school to check the situation.
Everyone didn't take a black car, but rode to the school on horseback.
The school was in the city of Yingdu, and everyone rushed over at full speed. When they reached the gate of the school, there were already many people there. As Sibai, Lu Chen was shocked by this incident.
When Wu Jiu arrived at the door, he hurriedly got off his horse and was greeted by Lu Chen. Wu Jiu said, "How is the situation?"
Lu Chen said: "Many children have been poisoned, and poisons are very common. Tang Wuying brought the medical officer inside and rescued them."
Wu Jiu nodded and walked in quickly. Qihou and Yingyu followed behind, and everyone walked in.
The school was in chaos, and the medical officers were all running fast, on a rampage, and forgot to salute when they saw Wu Jiu, because there was no time, and every second counted.
After all, with so many children, many of them were poisoned, and they suddenly became like this. The medical officers were rushing to rescue them, and there was no time to salute.
Wu Jiu went in and went to see the children first. The little buns were the ones who were poisoned.
Little Chong'er was lying on the case, his whole face was not good, and he was clutching his abdomen, as if the colic was unbearable. The boy pushed and cried on the side, his eyes were swollen like two big buns, when he saw Wu Jiao immediately ran over with a "da da da" and slammed into Wu Jiao's arms, crying and saying, "Susu, Susu, save Gongzhi, Gongzhi's stomach hurts!"
Tang Wu was checking Little Chong'er, and it was obvious that he was poisoned, so Wu Jiu hurried to find out the situation, Tang Wu said, "Maybe it was eaten with food."
Because Xiao Chong had a large amount of ear belly, he ate a lot, and the poisoning was probably the deepest, his face was extremely ugly, and there were some little buns beside him who were also poisoned, all of them had ugly faces, and there was a faint cry.
Tang Wu hurriedly ordered the medical officer to save people. This kind of toxin is very common, and it will be fatal after a long time. Fortunately, it was discovered earlier.
At this time, Dou Lian also came in from the outside, together with some masters from the school, brought the medicine and handed it to Tang Wu in a hurry.
Dou Lian is the archer of the Dou family. He was originally the private master of the Dou family. Because of his great reputation, he would often come to the school to give lectures. This afternoon, Dou Lian was supposed to be teaching.
Dou Lian was almost late, and came in a hurry, just after noon, the little buns had eaten at noon, and it was not easy to do too much exercise, so Dou Lian just took the little buns for activities first, and Xiao Chong'er looked a little unhappy , was sweating all the time, Dou Lian asked, and Xiao Chong'er said that he had a stomachache, flustered, and was panting heavily, unable to lift his strength.
Doulian felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked the medical officer to show Xiao Chong'er, but the medical officer hadn't come yet, many children had this phenomenon, some fainted directly on the ground, so scared that Doulian picked up the fainting child and ran away.
The children were poisoned collectively. This kind of thing happened in the city of Yingdu. Under Wu Jiao's nose, Wu Jiao was extremely furious. Seeing the faces of the little buns in pain, he said with a gloomy expression, "Have you checked the dining room?" ?”
Lu Chen was on the side, and said in a low voice: "Go back to the king, I have already checked, two of the cooks in the dining room suddenly died suddenly, and the rest of the cooks have already questioned them, but they don't know what happened, they said it was a drug test today. The process was completed by those two cooks."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he became even more furious. It was obvious that someone had poisoned him right under his nose, and killed people to silence him.
Wu Jiao said coldly: "Check! You must find out. Since he is so courageous, I must give him some color!"
The king of Chu was furious, and Lu Chen quickly agreed, saying, "Yes, Lu Chen will go and investigate."
Lu Chen quickly led the soldiers to continue searching the school to see if there were any clues, while the others were busy rescuing the little buns.
Everyone no longer distinguishes between superiority and inferiority, and they all help out. Everyone in the school is so busy that they are instructed by Tang Wu, but no one complains.
Seeing these little buns crying, with pale faces, Ying Yu couldn't help frowning, and his face was a little gloomy, as if he had thought of something.
Little Chong'er was the most poisoned, and other people's condition stabilized for a while, but Little Chong'er suddenly had a high fever.
The school temporarily stabilized, it was already dark, little Chonger's condition was still not good, Wu Jiu was very anxious, Tang Wu said: "Your Majesty, please take Mr. Jin back to the palace for treatment, there are no medicinal materials here."
Wu Jiao hurriedly asked someone to prepare the car, and was going to take Xiao Chong'er back to the palace. The boy was so frightened that he was paralyzed, and when he was carried into the car, he lay down next to Xiao Chong'er, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse from crying.
Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi, and Ying Yu also boarded the car, and the car hurried to the palace. Ying Yu said: "It just so happened that Ying Yu brought a lot of medicinal materials during this trip, and they should be useful. I'll go back to Ying Yu later. Yu ordered someone to send it to the king of Chu."
Wu Jiu said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Ying Yu said: "You don't need to say thank you, something happened in the school, naturally Ying Yu can't just sit idly by."
Little Chong'er was in a daze, he woke up from the fever for a while, and then became confused again. The boy pushed and cried beside him. When little Chong'er woke up, he saw his red eyes and said, "Why are you crying? You cry well." Ugly!"
The kid wiped his snot, still crying, and said: "Gongzhi, don't make trouble, don't leave me alone."
With a high fever, little Chong'er rolled his eyes and said, "You wish me well, okay?"
Wu Jiu hurriedly coaxed the boy to push, saying: "Be good, Zitui, it's fine, let Chong'er sleep, it will be fine after a night of sleep."
Kid Tui immediately nodded vigorously, and said: "Gongzhi, you should wake up soon! It's easy to mess with when you wake up!"
Seeing that the kid finally stopped crying, Xiao Chong'er breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes again, lost consciousness quickly in a daze, and began to fall into a coma again.
When everyone returned to the palace, Marquis Qi hugged Xiao Chong'er, and hurriedly carried him into the small bedroom. Tang Wu went to find medicinal materials and prescribed another medicine for Chong'er to drink. Yingyu was inconvenient to enter the small bedroom, so he didn't go there.
Ying Yu quickly walked back, ready to leave the palace to go to the post house, because it was getting late, if he didn't leave, the door should be locked, and there would be no place to stay at that time.
It happened that Dou Lian was going out too, Dou Qi heard something happened in the school, so he rushed into the palace, just happened to knock Dou Lian down, the two were talking about the school, and they were going to go out of the palace.
Everyone met at the gate of the palace. Yingyu was alone, without eunuchs or horses, and was about to go back on foot. Anyway, the post house was not too far away, so we happened to meet them face to face.
Dou Qi and Dou Lian bowed their hands to Ying Yu, and Ying Yu said with a smile: "You two great officials from the state of Chu don't need to be too polite."
Dou Lian suddenly saw Ying Yu again, he seemed a little embarrassed, but seeing that Ying Yu had no horses and chariots, he quickly said to Dou Qi: "Mo Ao go back first, it's getting late, I'll send Jiang Gong off, and I'll see you soon." gone back."
Dou Qi nodded and said, "Don't neglect Mr. Jiang."
That's all, I said goodbye to Ying Yu, boarded the car and left first.
As soon as Dou Qi left, Dou Lian immediately regretted staying, because he felt a little embarrassed, after all, he did such a stupid thing before.
Dou Lian hurriedly bowed to Ying Yu, led the horse to Ying Yu, and said, "Jiang Gong, please get on the horse."
Ying Yu smiled, thanked him and got on the horse, and Dou Lian also got on the horse.
Because of what happened in the school, Doulian, as an archer, was naturally in a very bad mood, frowning along the way, and didn't say much.
Ying Yu said: "Don't worry, General Dou. I heard that your Chu Tang witch doctor is very skilled, and the children will be fine."
Doulian nodded and said, "I hope so. If something happens, Doulian will feel really sorry."
Dou Lian thought, after all, he is an archer, the master of the students, if he finds out that something is wrong with the students earlier, he can rescue them earlier, instead of waiting until now.
Thinking about this, Dou Lian sighed, Ying Yu comforted him a few words, and soon arrived at the gate of the post house, Ying Yu got off his horse, returned the horse to Dou Lian, and said, "Thank you, General Dou, Ying Yu will take his leave first." .”
Doulian cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Jiang would like to rest."
Dou Lian watched Ying Yu walk in, then turned around and left. Ying Yu walked into the post house, and soon entered the courtyard where Jiang Guo was staying. As soon as he walked in, he saw Fu Xu.
Fuxu was walking towards the house with two beauties in his arms, when Ying Yu saw him, his expression turned cold, and he strode over and said, "Fuxu!"
Fu Xu heard Ying Yu calling him, because this is a post house, it is not good to be disrespectful to Ying Yu, so he probably saluted him.
Ying Yu said coldly: "I have something to tell you, come with me."
Fuxu was very disdainful, but he had no choice but to let the beauty go to the house to wait for him, and then reluctantly followed Ying Yu into the house.
The mallard must go in, and said casually: "I said Mr. Jiang, what are you doing? Don't you see that the villain is busy?"
Ying Yu sneered and said, "What do you do alone? I want to ask you what you do! What did you do in school today?!"
His voice was loud, Fuxiu's face changed, afraid of attracting people, he quickly closed the door, and said with wide eyes, "I didn't do anything."
Yingyu said coldly: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me. How much do you have? Can I not understand? That child was already drunk yesterday and didn't hear you and me. Why did you say this?" Killer? Besides, many of the children in that school are all descendants of nobles from all over the world, and now you are so reckless, if someone finds out, you will be unable to eat and walk around!"
Fu Xu said disdainfully: "What's the matter? I thought it was a big deal, isn't it just a small thing? I know Mr. Jiang, you are as timid as a mouse, and you are very cautious in your actions. The cooks I bribed are all dead now." If there is no proof, who can investigate it?"
Ying Yu sneered and said, "Okay, let's say we can't find your head, but do you think you got it? That child wasn't poisoned at all, it was the young son of Jin who was poisoned, if something happened to Chong Er, you Can you compensate Duke Jin?!"
When he said this, Fuxu laughed even more, and said, "Oh...Jianggong, let me tell you the truth, he is just a young master, even if I kill Chong'er directly, our widow will not care, even Don't even blink, Mr. Jiang, you are not stupid, why don't you think about it, if that son Chong'er is really our widow's own son, how could he be willing to throw him as a hostage in Chu State so simply? Ah?!"
When Yingyu heard this, he felt a little hazy. It turned out that Chong'er was not the real son of the Marquis of Jin, so it was no wonder that Fuxu would be cruel and even poisoned Chong'er.
Ying Yu's face was ugly, while Fu Xu smiled and said, "By the way, it happened that Jiang Gong came to see me today, so the villain will tell you about the matter. The situation has changed a little."
Ying Yu said disdainfully, "What change?"
Fuxu said: "Now you have also seen that the Chu State has strong soldiers and horses. If you only get one or two pictures of soldiers and horses, you may not have a chance of winning. Therefore, the villain thinks that... we should drive apart the Chu State and break up their court. In this way, our country of Jin can take advantage of the opportunity and enter."
Ying Yu smiled and said, "It's so glorious, it really is righteous."
Fuxu's face turned cold, and his face was dulled by Ying Yu's "praise", and said: "The righteousness is not the righteousness, are you qualified to say that? You just take care of your own one-third of an acre of land, and don't put us The widow is in a hurry!"
He said, and then said: "You have also seen before that the king of Chu intends to take over the military power of private soldiers. Isn't this picking lice on the tiger's head and preparing to kill himself? Let's add fuel to the flames and create some rumors to guide Chu In this way, there are so many factions of high officials in Chu State, which is enough for the King of Chu to bear it!"
Yingyu didn't speak, Fu Xu said: "The villain knows Jiang Gong's faction, you can't spread such rumors, if you spread rumors, the villain is afraid that you will miss things! I will handle this matter myself, and you will do it yourself." Just wait for the cooperation, and...the one called Jie Zitui must die! He is just an ant, if one day he thinks about it, no one can afford to ruin the important matter of the widow! If Mr. Jiang If you meddle in your own business, you Jiang people will die!"
After Fu Xu finished speaking, he sneered, slammed the door and left, and Ying Yu hesitated in anger, "Bang!", and kicked the case over, and the things on it fell to the ground.
Little Chong'er has been having a fever, Tang Wu boiled the medicine again, little Chong'er was so confused that he couldn't take the medicine, Wu Jiao and Qihou helped to support the little Chong'er, and opened his mouth, Tang Wu quickly poured the medicine, and it was a toss after drinking the medicine After a while, after drinking the medicine, Xiao Chong'er fell into a drowsy sleep again.
Tang Wu said: "As long as the fever subsides, it's fine, don't let it flare up again, if it keeps getting so hot, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
After all, Little Chong'er is still so young, high fever will easily burn the child, Wu Jiao is also worried, everyone is busy until late at night, Little Chong'er's heat has subsided a little, but when it is dawn, it suddenly flares up again, Wu Jiao hurriedly asked Tang Wu to take it. Come with cold water and wipe Xiao Chong'er's body to dissipate heat.
After being busy for two hours, little Chong'er's fever subsided and he finally fell asleep peacefully.
Seeing that little Chong'er was fine, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, his back was exhausted, and he fell asleep while sitting up, with his head bouncing bit by bit.
Wu Jiu pushed and hugged the boy, put him next to little Chong'er, covered the two little boys with a quilt, watched the two little boys sleep with their heads together, and felt relieved.
Qihou said: "Second brother, you haven't slept all night, come and rest for a while."
Not to mention Wu Jiao, Tang Wu was also tired, everyone hurriedly went to rest for a while, Qi Hou took Wu Jiao to rest on the couch next to him, Wu Jiao soon fell into a deep sleep, and did not wake up until the afternoon .
After Wu Jiu woke up, he quietly went into the inner room to take a look. Little Chong'er was still sleeping, and the boy was sleeping soundly in his arms, his white and tender hands were holding on to Little Chong'er's cuffs.
Wu Jiao walked in, and little Chong'er seemed to wake up, Wu Jiao was afraid of waking Zitui, so he said softly, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Little Chong'er didn't make a sound, just shook his head, Tang Wu came over to check him, the fever was indeed gone, and his complexion seemed to be much better, the child recovered quickly, and seemed to be alive and well again.
The kid didn't wake up from Tui, he pulled Chong'er's sleeves, and vomited bubbles when he fell asleep. The little Chong'er looked disgusted, but he didn't push the kid away, but covered him with a quilt.
Wu Jiu just went out, after washing up, he was going to go to the dining room, to make some delicious food for little Chong'er to nourish his body, when Qi Hou heard about eating, his eyes lit up immediately, and he followed him out.
The two met Princess Mi at the door who came to visit her sickness, and they asked Princess Mi to take care of Xiao Chong'er and Xiao Zitui, while Wu Jiu and Qi Hou went to the dining room.
Wu Jiao was going to cook something delicious. After much deliberation, Wu Jiao really thought of one. As the saying goes, nothing is more comfortable than lying down, and nothing is more delicious than dumplings.
Wu Jiao thought, if there is anything more delicious than dumplings, it must be dumpling potstickers, fried crispy potstickers, delicious meat filling, slightly dipped in vinegar sauce, and served with a bowl of sweet millet Congee, two small cold dishes, delicious and not greasy.
After Wu Jiao had thought about it, he was ready to do it. Qi Hou couldn't help him, so he stood aside, just like standing guard, watching Wu Jiao start making dumplings.
Qihou thought Wu Jiao was going to make steamed buns, after all he had never eaten dumplings before, and when he saw Wu Jiao stuffing the meat with dough, he immediately smiled and said, "Second Brother, the steamed buns you made today are so skinny!"
Wu Jiu almost laughed angrily at him, of course he was skinny, because this is not a steamed stuffed bun.
Qihou watched helplessly as the buns changed shape, and there were no steamed buns on the basket, with a strange expression on his face, but because he liked to eat everything made by his second brother, he didn't say much, and just stared at it expectantly. those dumplings.
After Wu Jiao made the dumplings, he prepared to fry the pot stickers. While frying the pot stickers, he started to cook the porridge again, and then mixed the vinegar sauce. Although it was just a dipping sauce, Wu Jiao also wanted to season it, not only The taste is sour, and some fish sauce and seasonings are added to make the vinegar sauce very fragrant.
Qi Hou smelled the vinegar juice like this, there was a green sour smell, and a fresh aroma, he smelled refreshed, he was in a good mood, his taste buds were opened, and he was very greedy.
Wu Jiu seemed to have three heads and six arms, and there were pots all around him. He was busy all the time, and he heard the crackling sound in the pot where the pot stickers were being fried, and he could vaguely smell an indescribable fragrance through the lid. , there must be shrimp in the meat stuffing, it’s not delicious, it’s the taste of seafood, Qihou can’t tell what else, it’s very fairy.
With Wu Jiu's "huh", he lifted the lid of the pot, and a steaming thing came out, and the white heat dissipated, with an indescribable fragrance, and the smell of burnt fragrance, Qihou I like this burnt smell the most, so I quickly took two deep breaths, and said with a smile: "Second brother, did Gu help you taste it?"
Wu Jiu smiled, knowing that Marquis Qi was greedy, he was busy talking about it last night, only slept this morning, and didn't eat at noon, he was indeed hungry, and it was hard for Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiu put a potsticker on the plate, and handed it to Qihou along with the vinegar sauce. Qihou hurriedly reached out, not even using the chopsticks. Put the vinegar sauce in your mouth.
Wu Jiu quickly said, "Be careful of burning your mouth."
Of course Qihou was burned. After all, the fried pot stickers were burnt. Just out of the pot, the bottom was so hot that Qihou hissed, but Qihou didn't vomit even if he was burning. When I came out, I ate it excitedly, and I was quite happy after eating, and said repeatedly: "It's delicious, my second brother is really delicious!"
Wu Jiu didn't know that he had heard Qi Hou say this hundreds of times, and he was quite helpless. Hearing that he said it was delicious, he simply started the pot, put the pot stickers on the plate, scooped out the porridge, and put it in the small beans. I'm going to take it back and give it to Xiao Chong'er and the kid to eat.
Qihou followed behind like a large dog, and entered the small bedroom. The boy Tui also woke up from hunger, smelled the delicious smell of pot stickers, sat up in confusion, rubbed his big eyes, watery, not to mention how cute.
Princess Mi is still there, and she also smelled the smell of pot stickers. She had eaten lunch, but she was still attracted by the smell. Qi Hou saw that there was another person who shared the food with him, but before Princess Mi gave more Qi Hou ate a few spring rolls, so Qi Hou still remembered that he was not a stingy person, so he gave two pot stickers to Princess Mi. Fortunately, Princess Mi is not a big eater, and the girl has a normal stomach, and she had lunch again , so I can't eat two at all.
Little Chong Er and Kid Tui were starving to death, sitting on the couch, Wu Jiao asked Ziqing to make a small table and put it on the couch, without even getting off the couch, they started eating pot stickers.
Delicious pot stickers, the dough on the top is soft and tender, the bottom of the rice pot is burnt and crispy, the meat filling inside is delicious, and there are big shrimps. There is a sour and delicious vinegar sauce on it, and a bowl of sweet rice porridge, which is salty and sweet, which relieves greasy and appetizing.
Kid Tui ate ten big potstickers in one go, not to mention that little Chonger is a big eater. Qi Hou and little Chonger struggled to eat potstickers, each moving faster than the other, stuffing their mouths full, Wu Jiao for a while Reluctantly, he glared at Qihou, but Qihou had already turned on the shielding mode at this time, so he couldn't see anything, only potstickers in his eyes.
Wu Jiu felt that Marquis Qi was too embarrassing to compete with children for food, especially in front of Princess Mi. Princess Mi smiled and praised Qi Hou for his true temperament, and Qi Hou was full of complacency.
Wu Jiao thought to himself, that means Princess Mi is kind-hearted, and Qi Hou looks good, if Qi Hou looks a little uglier, he might be regarded as a rag picker, and he hasn't eaten a meal in 800 years Rice, it's like a reincarnation of a starved ghost!
Wu Jiu didn't know, he was right, Qihou was reincarnated from starvation...
Everyone was sharing delicious pot stickers, when Ziqing came over and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, let Yin ask to see you."
Wu Jiao asked them to continue eating pot stickers, and went to see Peng Zhongshuang by himself. Qi Hou quickly wiped his oily mouth, took a sip of tea, and regained his usual elegant appearance of an emperor, and followed Wu Jiao. He also said to Xiao Chong'er: "Don't eat them all, hold on carefully, and leave two more for Gu."
Little Chong'er quickly pulled the remaining pot stickers in front of him, grabbed one with each hand, stuffed them all in his mouth, raised his head, and looked at Qi Hou with a bulging steamed bun face, Qi Hou was so angry that he was thinking of the dead boy , but also the overlord.
When Qihou slandered Little Chong'er, he didn't think of his own image at all...
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou came to see Peng Zhongshuang in the outer room, Peng Zhongshuang had already waited and hurriedly saluted, Wu Jiu said, "Is there anything important for Ling Yin?"
Peng Zhongshuang said: "Your Majesty... Zhong Shuang heard some rumors today about... the private death."
Wu Jiu frowned when he heard the word "private soldier", and said, "What's going on? Tell me more specifically."
Peng Zhongshuang was busy with official duties in the political affairs hall today, but he heard someone talking about private soldiers. There was a saying among the scholar bureaucrats that the king of Chu was going to cut private soldiers without any compensation.
When the aristocratic gentry owned their own private soldiers, they paid taxes to the state. Therefore, in this way, private soldiers are reasonable and reasonable. In the law of etiquette, they cannot be criticized at all. Now Wu Jiao wants to take private soldiers, although Peng Zhongshuang has already It opened a good precedent, but still need to use some means, such as money, to appease these nobles and gentry.
But there were rumors among the scholar-officials, saying that Wu Jiao planned to rob them openly and would not give a dime, and that the private soldiers were committing riots and wanting to destroy the rules of the ancestors, etc.
As soon as this statement came out, the literati and bureaucrats became a little panicked. Although there are indeed some people who use private soldiers to help tigers, such as the cousin of Dou Lian, since the founding of Chu State, private soldiers have helped the country win many victories, especially Ruo Ao Liu of the Doujia. Pawns, this kind of thing can't be beaten to death with a stick, and it doesn't mean that they are all guilty of rebellion.
Furthermore, private soldiers are legal and paid for. If they are withdrawn without compensation, it will definitely arouse public resentment and arouse public anger. Therefore, Wu Jiao was concerned about these, so he did not act so quickly.
Who knew that someone would start talking about these gossips.
Peng Zhongshuang heard so many rumors like this today, even people in the market began to spread them. It was just a matter of the Peng family paying tribute to private soldiers, and the rumors and rumors spread all over the market. Peng Zhongshuang felt that something was wrong, so he came Reported to Wu Jiao.
Peng Zhongshuang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are thieves deliberately spreading some rumors, intending to seriously injure Your Majesty and to disintegrate our Chu court."
Wu Jiao frowned, squinted his eyes, private affairs can be big or small, the Dou family has just settled down now, there are also the Qu family and the Luo family, Wu Jiu didn't want these groups to turn against him, but now someone deliberately Go against Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu said in a deep voice, "Have you found out the source of the rumors?"
Peng Zhongshuang said: "Zhongshuang has asked someone to investigate, but there is no news so far."
Wu Jiu said: "Check it out and find out who is spreading rumors and causing trouble."
"Yes, Zhong Shuang understands."
"and also……"
Wu Jiao thought for a while and said, "What happened in the school yesterday alarmed Dou Jia and Mo Ao, and Mo Ao and Dou Archer were also busy, and ordered Yin to reward Dou Jia for the widow."
When Wu Jiu said that, Peng Zhongshuang immediately agreed. Wu Jiu actually wanted to appease the fighters. After all, rumors and rumors would indeed guide some public opinion. If Wu Jiu didn't do something to slap public opinion, I'm afraid the nobles and gentry would follow the public opinion.
Just as Peng Zhongshuang was about to respond, Wu Jiu said, "No, I'd better go in person, and let Yin make preparations, and then tomorrow."
Although it was not the first time that Wu Jiu went to the Doujia in person, the king of Chu really needed to prepare, and Peng Zhongshuang needed to inform the Doujia to prepare to meet the king.
Peng Zhongshuang responded and said, "Yes, Zhongshuang will go right away."
He said, and quickly exited the small bedroom, Wu Jiao frowned, and said: "I don't know who is using these dirty tricks behind the scenes, if I let the widow catch him, I will let him know, fight in front of the widow Wrist, he's just a layman."
Qihou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's true."
Word of Wu Jiu's plan to visit the Dou family in person soon spread that Peng Zhongshuang was doing things, Wu Jiu was at ease and very agile.
Yingyu also heard this news in the posthouse. To be precise, what he heard first was the rumors about Wu Jiu wanting to rob private soldiers. There are also some envoys from other countries in the posthouse, and they are also discussing it today. This matter, as well as the matter of poisoning in the school yesterday, were all under discussion.
Yingyu was a little anxious, because he knew that the person who poisoned and spread rumors must be Fuxu. If this matter is investigated to the end, Fuxu's hands and feet are not clean enough, and Jiang Guo will definitely be implicated. After all, Fuxu is now Jiang Guo's envoy.
Ying Yu sat in the room, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Fu must be the person sent by the Marquis of Jin to monitor Ying Yu. Ying Yu has a handle in the hands of the Jin State, so he dare not confront the Jin State. , Jin is so powerful that it can flatten Jiang with one finger, so Ying Yu didn't dare to really provoke Jin, so he was oppressed by that beard everywhere.
But Yingyu also has a steelyard in his heart. Could it be that Chu is easy to provoke? When the time comes, Jinhou’s affairs have not been completed, and the King of Chu will find Jiang Guo again and charge him with unwarranted charges, as well as the students in the school. , are all gentry and nobles from all over the world, Jiang Guo is weak and small, and can't afford to offend any of them, so they are afraid that they will attack them in groups.
Ying Yu's face became more and more ugly. He suddenly stood up, pushed the door and walked out of the house. It was already dusk and the sun was slowly setting. As soon as he walked out, there were soldiers standing guard at the door, and they reached out to stop Ying Yu.
Ying Yu's face turned cold, and the mallard beard slowly swayed over, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, it's so late, where are you going?"
Ying Yu said with an ugly face, "What do you mean? Don't tell me you have to go somewhere alone, and you still need to report to your slave?"
Fuxu smiled and said: "The villain is a slave, but a slave of Jin. I heard that a slave of Jin can threaten the king of Jiang."
Ying Yu's breath was suffocated, and there was an indescribable haze, and there was an aura that a storm was about to come.
Fu Xu said: "If there is nothing wrong, please ask Mr. Jiang to go back and rest."
Yingyu's turbulent breathing suddenly calmed down, he laughed, and said, "Gu Ke is doing his best for Duke Jin's affairs. If you delay Duke Jin's important affairs, can you take care of it?"
Fuxu said: "
Because Ying Yu hadn't come yet, Princess Mi played the piano by herself, and at this time Ying Yu came in a hurry.
As soon as Ying Yu came out, Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were almost frightened. Ying Yu's face was pale and ugly, and his eyes were black and blue. Those who didn't know thought that Ying Yu had smoked a big cigarette, or had been sucked dry by a vixen!
Princess Mi was also taken aback, and said in amazement, "Mr. Jiang, are you alright? Do you want to see the medical officer?"
Ying Yu laughed dryly, cleared his throat, but was still very hoarse, and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, please worry about it, Princess Chu. Ying Yu just... just caught a cold, and he drank too much wine yesterday, so he was so rude." , and ask the princess to forgive me."
Princess Mi hurriedly asked Ying Yu to sit down, and said: "Mr. Jiang's body is important, please sit down quickly. It doesn't matter if you can't study the rhythm today."
Ying Yu quickly waved his hands and said, "It's all right."
When Wu Jiao saw Ying Yu coming, he pretended to be a coincidence and walked out. Princess Mi and Ying Yu hurriedly got up to salute. Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Jiang Gong doesn't seem to have a good rest, why don't you go back first?" rest?"
Ying Yu said: "Since we have already made an appointment with the princess, how can we break the appointment and be rude to the beauty? Besides, Ying Yu is nothing serious."
Everyone sat down, Ying Yu was polite and seemed very considerate, and immediately pointed out that Princess Mi played inaccurately in a few places, and even helped Princess Mi adjust the timbre of the piano.
Princess Mi said in surprise and admiration: "Mi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out where it was. It turned out to be such a problem. Mr. Jiang is really powerful, and Mi really admires it."
Ying Yu said with a smile: "Princess, you are serious. At such a young age, the princess has such musical accomplishments. The future is bound to be limitless."
Princess Mi was praised, but she was a little shy, and she was very embarrassed. Wu Jiao saw that the momentum was wrong, and immediately arched Qihou. Qihou was eating snacks, talking about rhythm over there, and Qihou was holding the snack plate on the case. , silently gnawed on himself, and was suddenly pushed by Wu Jiao, almost choking, and hurriedly turned around to look at Wu Jiao.
Wu Jiu saw that Qi Hou's mouth was full of dim sum scum, which was a shame, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and wiped it for Qi Hou, then said in a low voice, "Don't you know how to play the piano? You can also show your hand."
It is true that Marquis Qi can play the qin. When he was in Yunmeng, Wu Jiu invited the monarch of E Kingdom to a banquet. Marquis Qi even pretended to be a violin master, dressed in purple, and played the qin again.
Qihou said with a smile: "Gu does know how to play the piano, but he is just a layman, how dare he make a fool of himself in front of the princess and Duke Jiang?"
When Wu Jiu heard it, it turned out that Qihou was not as good at playing as Princess Mi and Yingyu, so he immediately let Qihou continue to eat.
While Wu Jiu and Qi Hou were secretly biting their ears, Ying Yu had already stood up, went over and stroked Princess Mi's piano, not to mention, the tone was very pleasant, no wonder Princess Mi was fascinated by it.
When Ying Yu was playing the piano, there was an indescribable aura, as if she had removed her hypocrisy, her face revealed a trace of coldness and aloofness, and there was also a kind of absoluteness, and it was hard to say what kind of complexity it was.
Princess Mi listened, frowned, and said with some hesitation: "Mr. Jiang, what's on your mind? Or is it sorrow? The sound of the piano is so sour."
Ying Yu froze for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, thank you Princess Chu for your concern."
As he spoke, he moved out of the way and let Princess Mi sit back, and then he knelt on the ground, as if he was holding Princess Mi in his arms, and taught Princess Mi to play the piano from behind.
Princess Mi studied seriously and was very focused. Wu Jiao's eyes were about to breathe fire. Those two people are so close, how can this be possible! ?
Wu Jiu coughed hastily, and said, "I don't know if Mr. Jiang has had lunch, how about I invite Mr. Jiang to have a drink or not?"
Yingyu came in a hurry, it was too late to wash and change clothes, there was no time for lunch, Princess Mi heard this, and said quickly: "Mr. Jiang hasn't eaten yet, so let's eat quickly."
When Qihou heard that he was going to eat again, he was the first to agree, so everyone put aside the matter of playing the piano and prepared to go to eat first.
Both Wu Jiu and Qihou ate it, but Wu Jiu couldn't eat it anymore, but Qihou ate it with great relish. Ying Yu said at the banquet, "King Chu, Ying Yu is here to pay homage to the King of Chu on the one hand, and on the other hand I also want to implore the king of Chu, can you send two capable people in water power to my Jiangguo to have a look. Our Jiangguo has been flooded for years, and the people have suffered from it. It is just that Jiangguo is weak and cannot solve this problem, so I am generous. Shameless, I implore the King of Chu."
Wu Jiufang was about to speak, when Ziqing suddenly ran in from the outside and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, something happened in the school!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiu frowned and said, "What's going on?"
Ziqing said: "Just now people from the school came to report, saying that for some reason, all the students in the school have been poisoned, and the situation is not good now. The minister has asked Tang Wu to rush over first."
Wu Jiao was taken aback, and immediately stood up. Yingdu Academy is not a small school now. Today, the monarchs of many countries have sent their young masters to study. The sudden poisoning happened in the school. How could it be shocking? .
Wu Jiu got up quickly and said, "Is anyone poisoned?"
Ziqing said: "Back to the king, many people have been poisoned."
Wu Jiu became anxious now, and said to Ying Yu: "Mr. Jiang, the incident happened suddenly, and I will excuse you first."
Yingyu rolled his eyes, stood up and said, "Yingyu is also very concerned about this matter, can you let Yingyu go with you? See if you can do your little bit?"
Naturally, Wu Jiu didn't refuse, and everyone hurriedly left to go to the school to check the situation.
Everyone didn't take a black car, but rode to the school on horseback.
The school was in the city of Yingdu, and everyone rushed over at full speed. When they reached the gate of the school, there were already many people there. As Sibai, Lu Chen was shocked by this incident.
When Wu Jiu arrived at the door, he hurriedly got off his horse and was greeted by Lu Chen. Wu Jiu said, "How is the situation?"
Lu Chen said: "Many children have been poisoned, and poisons are very common. Tang Wuying brought the medical officer inside and rescued them."
Wu Jiu nodded and walked in quickly. Qihou and Yingyu followed behind, and everyone walked in.
The school was in chaos, and the medical officers were all running fast, on a rampage, and forgot to salute when they saw Wu Jiu, because there was no time, and every second counted.
After all, with so many children, many of them were poisoned, and they suddenly became like this. The medical officers were rushing to rescue them, and there was no time to salute.
Wu Jiu went in and went to see the children first. The little buns were the ones who were poisoned.
Little Chong'er was lying on the case, his whole face was not good, and he was clutching his abdomen, as if the colic was unbearable. The boy pushed and cried on the side, his eyes were swollen like two big buns, when he saw Wu Jiao immediately ran over with a "da da da" and slammed into Wu Jiao's arms, crying and saying, "Susu, Susu, save Gongzhi, Gongzhi's stomach hurts!"
Tang Wu was checking Little Chong'er, and it was obvious that he was poisoned, so Wu Jiu hurried to find out the situation, Tang Wu said, "Maybe it was eaten with food."
Because Xiao Chong had a large amount of ear belly, he ate a lot, and the poisoning was probably the deepest, his face was extremely ugly, and there were some little buns beside him who were also poisoned, all of them had ugly faces, and there was a faint cry.
Tang Wu hurriedly ordered the medical officer to save people. This kind of toxin is very common, and it will be fatal after a long time. Fortunately, it was discovered earlier.
At this time, Dou Lian also came in from the outside, together with some masters from the school, brought the medicine and handed it to Tang Wu in a hurry.
Dou Lian is the archer of the Dou family. He was originally the private master of the Dou family. Because of his great reputation, he would often come to the school to give lectures. This afternoon, Dou Lian was supposed to be teaching.
Dou Lian was almost late, and came in a hurry, just after noon, the little buns had eaten at noon, and it was not easy to do too much exercise, so Dou Lian just took the little buns for activities first, and Xiao Chong'er looked a little unhappy , was sweating all the time, Dou Lian asked, and Xiao Chong'er said that he had a stomachache, flustered, and was panting heavily, unable to lift his strength.
Doulian felt that something was wrong, so he hurriedly asked the medical officer to show Xiao Chong'er, but the medical officer hadn't come yet, many children had this phenomenon, some fainted directly on the ground, so scared that Doulian picked up the fainting child and ran away.
The children were poisoned collectively. This kind of thing happened in the city of Yingdu. Under Wu Jiao's nose, Wu Jiao was extremely furious. Seeing the faces of the little buns in pain, he said with a gloomy expression, "Have you checked the dining room?" ?”
Lu Chen was on the side, and said in a low voice: "Go back to the king, I have already checked, two of the cooks in the dining room suddenly died suddenly, and the rest of the cooks have already questioned them, but they don't know what happened, they said it was a drug test today. The process was completed by those two cooks."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he became even more furious. It was obvious that someone had poisoned him right under his nose, and killed people to silence him.
Wu Jiao said coldly: "Check! You must find out. Since he is so courageous, I must give him some color!"
The king of Chu was furious, and Lu Chen quickly agreed, saying, "Yes, Lu Chen will go and investigate."
Lu Chen quickly led the soldiers to continue searching the school to see if there were any clues, while the others were busy rescuing the little buns.
Everyone no longer distinguishes between superiority and inferiority, and they all help out. Everyone in the school is so busy that they are instructed by Tang Wu, but no one complains.
Seeing these little buns crying, with pale faces, Ying Yu couldn't help frowning, and his face was a little gloomy, as if he had thought of something.
Little Chong'er was the most poisoned, and other people's condition stabilized for a while, but Little Chong'er suddenly had a high fever.
The school temporarily stabilized, it was already dark, little Chonger's condition was still not good, Wu Jiu was very anxious, Tang Wu said: "Your Majesty, please take Mr. Jin back to the palace for treatment, there are no medicinal materials here."
Wu Jiao hurriedly asked someone to prepare the car, and was going to take Xiao Chong'er back to the palace. The boy was so frightened that he was paralyzed, and when he was carried into the car, he lay down next to Xiao Chong'er, his eyes were red, and his voice was hoarse from crying.
Wu Jiu, Marquis Qi, and Ying Yu also boarded the car, and the car hurried to the palace. Ying Yu said: "It just so happened that Ying Yu brought a lot of medicinal materials during this trip, and they should be useful. I'll go back to Ying Yu later. Yu ordered someone to send it to the king of Chu."
Wu Jiu said, "Thank you, Mr. Jiang."
Ying Yu said: "You don't need to say thank you, something happened in the school, naturally Ying Yu can't just sit idly by."
Little Chong'er was in a daze, he woke up from the fever for a while, and then became confused again. The boy pushed and cried beside him. When little Chong'er woke up, he saw his red eyes and said, "Why are you crying? You cry well." Ugly!"
The kid wiped his snot, still crying, and said: "Gongzhi, don't make trouble, don't leave me alone."
With a high fever, little Chong'er rolled his eyes and said, "You wish me well, okay?"
Wu Jiu hurriedly coaxed the boy to push, saying: "Be good, Zitui, it's fine, let Chong'er sleep, it will be fine after a night of sleep."
Kid Tui immediately nodded vigorously, and said: "Gongzhi, you should wake up soon! It's easy to mess with when you wake up!"
Seeing that the kid finally stopped crying, Xiao Chong'er breathed a sigh of relief, closed his eyes again, lost consciousness quickly in a daze, and began to fall into a coma again.
When everyone returned to the palace, Marquis Qi hugged Xiao Chong'er, and hurriedly carried him into the small bedroom. Tang Wu went to find medicinal materials and prescribed another medicine for Chong'er to drink. Yingyu was inconvenient to enter the small bedroom, so he didn't go there.
Ying Yu quickly walked back, ready to leave the palace to go to the post house, because it was getting late, if he didn't leave, the door should be locked, and there would be no place to stay at that time.
It happened that Dou Lian was going out too, Dou Qi heard something happened in the school, so he rushed into the palace, just happened to knock Dou Lian down, the two were talking about the school, and they were going to go out of the palace.
Everyone met at the gate of the palace. Yingyu was alone, without eunuchs or horses, and was about to go back on foot. Anyway, the post house was not too far away, so we happened to meet them face to face.
Dou Qi and Dou Lian bowed their hands to Ying Yu, and Ying Yu said with a smile: "You two great officials from the state of Chu don't need to be too polite."
Dou Lian suddenly saw Ying Yu again, he seemed a little embarrassed, but seeing that Ying Yu had no horses and chariots, he quickly said to Dou Qi: "Mo Ao go back first, it's getting late, I'll send Jiang Gong off, and I'll see you soon." gone back."
Dou Qi nodded and said, "Don't neglect Mr. Jiang."
That's all, I said goodbye to Ying Yu, boarded the car and left first.
As soon as Dou Qi left, Dou Lian immediately regretted staying, because he felt a little embarrassed, after all, he did such a stupid thing before.
Dou Lian hurriedly bowed to Ying Yu, led the horse to Ying Yu, and said, "Jiang Gong, please get on the horse."
Ying Yu smiled, thanked him and got on the horse, and Dou Lian also got on the horse.
Because of what happened in the school, Doulian, as an archer, was naturally in a very bad mood, frowning along the way, and didn't say much.
Ying Yu said: "Don't worry, General Dou. I heard that your Chu Tang witch doctor is very skilled, and the children will be fine."
Doulian nodded and said, "I hope so. If something happens, Doulian will feel really sorry."
Dou Lian thought, after all, he is an archer, the master of the students, if he finds out that something is wrong with the students earlier, he can rescue them earlier, instead of waiting until now.
Thinking about this, Dou Lian sighed, Ying Yu comforted him a few words, and soon arrived at the gate of the post house, Ying Yu got off his horse, returned the horse to Dou Lian, and said, "Thank you, General Dou, Ying Yu will take his leave first." .”
Doulian cupped his hands and said, "Mr. Jiang would like to rest."
Dou Lian watched Ying Yu walk in, then turned around and left. Ying Yu walked into the post house, and soon entered the courtyard where Jiang Guo was staying. As soon as he walked in, he saw Fu Xu.
Fuxu was walking towards the house with two beauties in his arms, when Ying Yu saw him, his expression turned cold, and he strode over and said, "Fuxu!"
Fu Xu heard Ying Yu calling him, because this is a post house, it is not good to be disrespectful to Ying Yu, so he probably saluted him.
Ying Yu said coldly: "I have something to tell you, come with me."
Fuxu was very disdainful, but he had no choice but to let the beauty go to the house to wait for him, and then reluctantly followed Ying Yu into the house.
The mallard must go in, and said casually: "I said Mr. Jiang, what are you doing? Don't you see that the villain is busy?"
Ying Yu sneered and said, "What do you do alone? I want to ask you what you do! What did you do in school today?!"
His voice was loud, Fuxiu's face changed, afraid of attracting people, he quickly closed the door, and said with wide eyes, "I didn't do anything."
Yingyu said coldly: "Don't pretend to be stupid with me. How much do you have? Can I not understand? That child was already drunk yesterday and didn't hear you and me. Why did you say this?" Killer? Besides, many of the children in that school are all descendants of nobles from all over the world, and now you are so reckless, if someone finds out, you will be unable to eat and walk around!"
Fu Xu said disdainfully: "What's the matter? I thought it was a big deal, isn't it just a small thing? I know Mr. Jiang, you are as timid as a mouse, and you are very cautious in your actions. The cooks I bribed are all dead now." If there is no proof, who can investigate it?"
Ying Yu sneered and said, "Okay, let's say we can't find your head, but do you think you got it? That child wasn't poisoned at all, it was the young son of Jin who was poisoned, if something happened to Chong Er, you Can you compensate Duke Jin?!"
When he said this, Fuxu laughed even more, and said, "Oh...Jianggong, let me tell you the truth, he is just a young master, even if I kill Chong'er directly, our widow will not care, even Don't even blink, Mr. Jiang, you are not stupid, why don't you think about it, if that son Chong'er is really our widow's own son, how could he be willing to throw him as a hostage in Chu State so simply? Ah?!"
When Yingyu heard this, he felt a little hazy. It turned out that Chong'er was not the real son of the Marquis of Jin, so it was no wonder that Fuxu would be cruel and even poisoned Chong'er.
Ying Yu's face was ugly, while Fu Xu smiled and said, "By the way, it happened that Jiang Gong came to see me today, so the villain will tell you about the matter. The situation has changed a little."
Ying Yu said disdainfully, "What change?"
Fuxu said: "Now you have also seen that the Chu State has strong soldiers and horses. If you only get one or two pictures of soldiers and horses, you may not have a chance of winning. Therefore, the villain thinks that... we should drive apart the Chu State and break up their court. In this way, our country of Jin can take advantage of the opportunity and enter."
Ying Yu smiled and said, "It's so glorious, it really is righteous."
Fuxu's face turned cold, and his face was dulled by Ying Yu's "praise", and said: "The righteousness is not the righteousness, are you qualified to say that? You just take care of your own one-third of an acre of land, and don't put us The widow is in a hurry!"
He said, and then said: "You have also seen before that the king of Chu intends to take over the military power of private soldiers. Isn't this picking lice on the tiger's head and preparing to kill himself? Let's add fuel to the flames and create some rumors to guide Chu In this way, there are so many factions of high officials in Chu State, which is enough for the King of Chu to bear it!"
Yingyu didn't speak, Fu Xu said: "The villain knows Jiang Gong's faction, you can't spread such rumors, if you spread rumors, the villain is afraid that you will miss things! I will handle this matter myself, and you will do it yourself." Just wait for the cooperation, and...the one called Jie Zitui must die! He is just an ant, if one day he thinks about it, no one can afford to ruin the important matter of the widow! If Mr. Jiang If you meddle in your own business, you Jiang people will die!"
After Fu Xu finished speaking, he sneered, slammed the door and left, and Ying Yu hesitated in anger, "Bang!", and kicked the case over, and the things on it fell to the ground.
Little Chong'er has been having a fever, Tang Wu boiled the medicine again, little Chong'er was so confused that he couldn't take the medicine, Wu Jiao and Qihou helped to support the little Chong'er, and opened his mouth, Tang Wu quickly poured the medicine, and it was a toss after drinking the medicine After a while, after drinking the medicine, Xiao Chong'er fell into a drowsy sleep again.
Tang Wu said: "As long as the fever subsides, it's fine, don't let it flare up again, if it keeps getting so hot, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
After all, Little Chong'er is still so young, high fever will easily burn the child, Wu Jiao is also worried, everyone is busy until late at night, Little Chong'er's heat has subsided a little, but when it is dawn, it suddenly flares up again, Wu Jiao hurriedly asked Tang Wu to take it. Come with cold water and wipe Xiao Chong'er's body to dissipate heat.
After being busy for two hours, little Chong'er's fever subsided and he finally fell asleep peacefully.
Seeing that little Chong'er was fine, the boy breathed a sigh of relief, his back was exhausted, and he fell asleep while sitting up, with his head bouncing bit by bit.
Wu Jiu pushed and hugged the boy, put him next to little Chong'er, covered the two little boys with a quilt, watched the two little boys sleep with their heads together, and felt relieved.
Qihou said: "Second brother, you haven't slept all night, come and rest for a while."
Not to mention Wu Jiao, Tang Wu was also tired, everyone hurriedly went to rest for a while, Qi Hou took Wu Jiao to rest on the couch next to him, Wu Jiao soon fell into a deep sleep, and did not wake up until the afternoon .
After Wu Jiu woke up, he quietly went into the inner room to take a look. Little Chong'er was still sleeping, and the boy was sleeping soundly in his arms, his white and tender hands were holding on to Little Chong'er's cuffs.
Wu Jiao walked in, and little Chong'er seemed to wake up, Wu Jiao was afraid of waking Zitui, so he said softly, "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Little Chong'er didn't make a sound, just shook his head, Tang Wu came over to check him, the fever was indeed gone, and his complexion seemed to be much better, the child recovered quickly, and seemed to be alive and well again.
The kid didn't wake up from Tui, he pulled Chong'er's sleeves, and vomited bubbles when he fell asleep. The little Chong'er looked disgusted, but he didn't push the kid away, but covered him with a quilt.
Wu Jiu just went out, after washing up, he was going to go to the dining room, to make some delicious food for little Chong'er to nourish his body, when Qi Hou heard about eating, his eyes lit up immediately, and he followed him out.
The two met Princess Mi at the door who came to visit her sickness, and they asked Princess Mi to take care of Xiao Chong'er and Xiao Zitui, while Wu Jiu and Qi Hou went to the dining room.
Wu Jiao was going to cook something delicious. After much deliberation, Wu Jiao really thought of one. As the saying goes, nothing is more comfortable than lying down, and nothing is more delicious than dumplings.
Wu Jiao thought, if there is anything more delicious than dumplings, it must be dumpling potstickers, fried crispy potstickers, delicious meat filling, slightly dipped in vinegar sauce, and served with a bowl of sweet millet Congee, two small cold dishes, delicious and not greasy.
After Wu Jiao had thought about it, he was ready to do it. Qi Hou couldn't help him, so he stood aside, just like standing guard, watching Wu Jiao start making dumplings.
Qihou thought Wu Jiao was going to make steamed buns, after all he had never eaten dumplings before, and when he saw Wu Jiao stuffing the meat with dough, he immediately smiled and said, "Second Brother, the steamed buns you made today are so skinny!"
Wu Jiu almost laughed angrily at him, of course he was skinny, because this is not a steamed stuffed bun.
Qihou watched helplessly as the buns changed shape, and there were no steamed buns on the basket, with a strange expression on his face, but because he liked to eat everything made by his second brother, he didn't say much, and just stared at it expectantly. those dumplings.
After Wu Jiao made the dumplings, he prepared to fry the pot stickers. While frying the pot stickers, he started to cook the porridge again, and then mixed the vinegar sauce. Although it was just a dipping sauce, Wu Jiao also wanted to season it, not only The taste is sour, and some fish sauce and seasonings are added to make the vinegar sauce very fragrant.
Qi Hou smelled the vinegar juice like this, there was a green sour smell, and a fresh aroma, he smelled refreshed, he was in a good mood, his taste buds were opened, and he was very greedy.
Wu Jiu seemed to have three heads and six arms, and there were pots all around him. He was busy all the time, and he heard the crackling sound in the pot where the pot stickers were being fried, and he could vaguely smell an indescribable fragrance through the lid. , there must be shrimp in the meat stuffing, it’s not delicious, it’s the taste of seafood, Qihou can’t tell what else, it’s very fairy.
With Wu Jiu's "huh", he lifted the lid of the pot, and a steaming thing came out, and the white heat dissipated, with an indescribable fragrance, and the smell of burnt fragrance, Qihou I like this burnt smell the most, so I quickly took two deep breaths, and said with a smile: "Second brother, did Gu help you taste it?"
Wu Jiu smiled, knowing that Marquis Qi was greedy, he was busy talking about it last night, only slept this morning, and didn't eat at noon, he was indeed hungry, and it was hard for Marquis Qi.
Wu Jiu put a potsticker on the plate, and handed it to Qihou along with the vinegar sauce. Qihou hurriedly reached out, not even using the chopsticks. Put the vinegar sauce in your mouth.
Wu Jiu quickly said, "Be careful of burning your mouth."
Of course Qihou was burned. After all, the fried pot stickers were burnt. Just out of the pot, the bottom was so hot that Qihou hissed, but Qihou didn't vomit even if he was burning. When I came out, I ate it excitedly, and I was quite happy after eating, and said repeatedly: "It's delicious, my second brother is really delicious!"
Wu Jiu didn't know that he had heard Qi Hou say this hundreds of times, and he was quite helpless. Hearing that he said it was delicious, he simply started the pot, put the pot stickers on the plate, scooped out the porridge, and put it in the small beans. I'm going to take it back and give it to Xiao Chong'er and the kid to eat.
Qihou followed behind like a large dog, and entered the small bedroom. The boy Tui also woke up from hunger, smelled the delicious smell of pot stickers, sat up in confusion, rubbed his big eyes, watery, not to mention how cute.
Princess Mi is still there, and she also smelled the smell of pot stickers. She had eaten lunch, but she was still attracted by the smell. Qi Hou saw that there was another person who shared the food with him, but before Princess Mi gave more Qi Hou ate a few spring rolls, so Qi Hou still remembered that he was not a stingy person, so he gave two pot stickers to Princess Mi. Fortunately, Princess Mi is not a big eater, and the girl has a normal stomach, and she had lunch again , so I can't eat two at all.
Little Chong Er and Kid Tui were starving to death, sitting on the couch, Wu Jiao asked Ziqing to make a small table and put it on the couch, without even getting off the couch, they started eating pot stickers.
Delicious pot stickers, the dough on the top is soft and tender, the bottom of the rice pot is burnt and crispy, the meat filling inside is delicious, and there are big shrimps. There is a sour and delicious vinegar sauce on it, and a bowl of sweet rice porridge, which is salty and sweet, which relieves greasy and appetizing.
Kid Tui ate ten big potstickers in one go, not to mention that little Chonger is a big eater. Qi Hou and little Chonger struggled to eat potstickers, each moving faster than the other, stuffing their mouths full, Wu Jiao for a while Reluctantly, he glared at Qihou, but Qihou had already turned on the shielding mode at this time, so he couldn't see anything, only potstickers in his eyes.
Wu Jiu felt that Marquis Qi was too embarrassing to compete with children for food, especially in front of Princess Mi. Princess Mi smiled and praised Qi Hou for his true temperament, and Qi Hou was full of complacency.
Wu Jiao thought to himself, that means Princess Mi is kind-hearted, and Qi Hou looks good, if Qi Hou looks a little uglier, he might be regarded as a rag picker, and he hasn't eaten a meal in 800 years Rice, it's like a reincarnation of a starved ghost!
Wu Jiu didn't know, he was right, Qihou was reincarnated from starvation...
Everyone was sharing delicious pot stickers, when Ziqing came over and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, let Yin ask to see you."
Wu Jiao asked them to continue eating pot stickers, and went to see Peng Zhongshuang by himself. Qi Hou quickly wiped his oily mouth, took a sip of tea, and regained his usual elegant appearance of an emperor, and followed Wu Jiao. He also said to Xiao Chong'er: "Don't eat them all, hold on carefully, and leave two more for Gu."
Little Chong'er quickly pulled the remaining pot stickers in front of him, grabbed one with each hand, stuffed them all in his mouth, raised his head, and looked at Qi Hou with a bulging steamed bun face, Qi Hou was so angry that he was thinking of the dead boy , but also the overlord.
When Qihou slandered Little Chong'er, he didn't think of his own image at all...
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou came to see Peng Zhongshuang in the outer room, Peng Zhongshuang had already waited and hurriedly saluted, Wu Jiu said, "Is there anything important for Ling Yin?"
Peng Zhongshuang said: "Your Majesty... Zhong Shuang heard some rumors today about... the private death."
Wu Jiu frowned when he heard the word "private soldier", and said, "What's going on? Tell me more specifically."
Peng Zhongshuang was busy with official duties in the political affairs hall today, but he heard someone talking about private soldiers. There was a saying among the scholar bureaucrats that the king of Chu was going to cut private soldiers without any compensation.
When the aristocratic gentry owned their own private soldiers, they paid taxes to the state. Therefore, in this way, private soldiers are reasonable and reasonable. In the law of etiquette, they cannot be criticized at all. Now Wu Jiao wants to take private soldiers, although Peng Zhongshuang has already It opened a good precedent, but still need to use some means, such as money, to appease these nobles and gentry.
But there were rumors among the scholar-officials, saying that Wu Jiao planned to rob them openly and would not give a dime, and that the private soldiers were committing riots and wanting to destroy the rules of the ancestors, etc.
As soon as this statement came out, the literati and bureaucrats became a little panicked. Although there are indeed some people who use private soldiers to help tigers, such as the cousin of Dou Lian, since the founding of Chu State, private soldiers have helped the country win many victories, especially Ruo Ao Liu of the Doujia. Pawns, this kind of thing can't be beaten to death with a stick, and it doesn't mean that they are all guilty of rebellion.
Furthermore, private soldiers are legal and paid for. If they are withdrawn without compensation, it will definitely arouse public resentment and arouse public anger. Therefore, Wu Jiao was concerned about these, so he did not act so quickly.
Who knew that someone would start talking about these gossips.
Peng Zhongshuang heard so many rumors like this today, even people in the market began to spread them. It was just a matter of the Peng family paying tribute to private soldiers, and the rumors and rumors spread all over the market. Peng Zhongshuang felt that something was wrong, so he came Reported to Wu Jiao.
Peng Zhongshuang cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid there are thieves deliberately spreading some rumors, intending to seriously injure Your Majesty and to disintegrate our Chu court."
Wu Jiao frowned, squinted his eyes, private affairs can be big or small, the Dou family has just settled down now, there are also the Qu family and the Luo family, Wu Jiu didn't want these groups to turn against him, but now someone deliberately Go against Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu said in a deep voice, "Have you found out the source of the rumors?"
Peng Zhongshuang said: "Zhongshuang has asked someone to investigate, but there is no news so far."
Wu Jiu said: "Check it out and find out who is spreading rumors and causing trouble."
"Yes, Zhong Shuang understands."
"and also……"
Wu Jiao thought for a while and said, "What happened in the school yesterday alarmed Dou Jia and Mo Ao, and Mo Ao and Dou Archer were also busy, and ordered Yin to reward Dou Jia for the widow."
When Wu Jiu said that, Peng Zhongshuang immediately agreed. Wu Jiu actually wanted to appease the fighters. After all, rumors and rumors would indeed guide some public opinion. If Wu Jiu didn't do something to slap public opinion, I'm afraid the nobles and gentry would follow the public opinion.
Just as Peng Zhongshuang was about to respond, Wu Jiu said, "No, I'd better go in person, and let Yin make preparations, and then tomorrow."
Although it was not the first time that Wu Jiu went to the Doujia in person, the king of Chu really needed to prepare, and Peng Zhongshuang needed to inform the Doujia to prepare to meet the king.
Peng Zhongshuang responded and said, "Yes, Zhongshuang will go right away."
He said, and quickly exited the small bedroom, Wu Jiao frowned, and said: "I don't know who is using these dirty tricks behind the scenes, if I let the widow catch him, I will let him know, fight in front of the widow Wrist, he's just a layman."
Qihou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "That's true."
Word of Wu Jiu's plan to visit the Dou family in person soon spread that Peng Zhongshuang was doing things, Wu Jiu was at ease and very agile.
Yingyu also heard this news in the posthouse. To be precise, what he heard first was the rumors about Wu Jiu wanting to rob private soldiers. There are also some envoys from other countries in the posthouse, and they are also discussing it today. This matter, as well as the matter of poisoning in the school yesterday, were all under discussion.
Yingyu was a little anxious, because he knew that the person who poisoned and spread rumors must be Fuxu. If this matter is investigated to the end, Fuxu's hands and feet are not clean enough, and Jiang Guo will definitely be implicated. After all, Fuxu is now Jiang Guo's envoy.
Ying Yu sat in the room, the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. Fu must be the person sent by the Marquis of Jin to monitor Ying Yu. Ying Yu has a handle in the hands of the Jin State, so he dare not confront the Jin State. , Jin is so powerful that it can flatten Jiang with one finger, so Ying Yu didn't dare to really provoke Jin, so he was oppressed by that beard everywhere.
But Yingyu also has a steelyard in his heart. Could it be that Chu is easy to provoke? When the time comes, Jinhou’s affairs have not been completed, and the King of Chu will find Jiang Guo again and charge him with unwarranted charges, as well as the students in the school. , are all gentry and nobles from all over the world, Jiang Guo is weak and small, and can't afford to offend any of them, so they are afraid that they will attack them in groups.
Ying Yu's face became more and more ugly. He suddenly stood up, pushed the door and walked out of the house. It was already dusk and the sun was slowly setting. As soon as he walked out, there were soldiers standing guard at the door, and they reached out to stop Ying Yu.
Ying Yu's face turned cold, and the mallard beard slowly swayed over, and said with a smile, "Mr. Jiang, it's so late, where are you going?"
Ying Yu said with an ugly face, "What do you mean? Don't tell me you have to go somewhere alone, and you still need to report to your slave?"
Fuxu smiled and said: "The villain is a slave, but a slave of Jin. I heard that a slave of Jin can threaten the king of Jiang."
Ying Yu's breath was suffocated, and there was an indescribable haze, and there was an aura that a storm was about to come.
Fu Xu said: "If there is nothing wrong, please ask Mr. Jiang to go back and rest."
Yingyu's turbulent breathing suddenly calmed down, he laughed, and said, "Gu Ke is doing his best for Duke Jin's affairs. If you delay Duke Jin's important affairs, can you take care of it?"
Fuxu said: "
