love day

Including the outside of Xianghu City.

"Brother Huang, why did the brigade stay here instead of going directly into the city?" Mo Senwu didn't understand.It took three days from the rush of the Yamen to the hands of the father, and they waited in the imperial city for three days without thinking of a way, and it took another three days to rush from the imperial city, so it took a total of nine days.

Jiu Tian, ​​who knows what the conditions of the people inside are, Mo Senyi is wasting time outside the city at this moment, Mo Senwu is very dissatisfied.If it wasn't for the imperial father's decree that everything must be obeyed by Mo Senyi, I'm afraid he would be the first to resist.

Of course, Mo Senyi could hear the impatience in Mo Senwu's mouth. He glanced at him and said, "Do you know how many days have passed since we received the news of the plague?"

"Nine days." Mo Senwu snorted.

"Then..." Mo Senyi's eyes were sharper than ever before, "In the past nine days, who among us will know what's going on inside? If we don't know what's going on inside, our brigade will go in. If something happens, Is it your fifth prince who will bear it?"

This... Mo Senwu was speechless when asked.

"Fourth brother, what do you think?" Turning around, Mo Senyi asked Mo Sensi with a smile on his face.

The fourth prince, Mo Sensi, is a prince with a low sense of presence in the palace.Even his mother concubine, although she is a concubine, but in everyone's impression, if no one mentions her, no one will pay special attention to her.

She came in through a draft, and her natal family's official rank was not low, so she came in as a concubine. The emperor did not specially dote on her, and she never competed for favor in the palace. Like Mo Haolou, he is a young man who is indifferent to a little withdrawn.

"Everything is obeyed by the eldest brother." The voice was as cold as his personality.Mocens never got close to anyone, whether in the academy or in the palace, he always walked alone.

If the Li Jiahe family wants to fight for the throne, then Mo Sensi will become the third force they want to win over.

About the time after two sticks of incense, several horses came galloping.The guards immediately stood in front of them, holding swords for guard.

"Back off." The person at the front got off his horse. He was the head of the guard who came to Hanxiang Lake with Mo Senyi this time, General Zuo Zheng. "Your Highness, Lu Hongxing, the magistrate of Xianghu City, brought you here."

"Bring him here." Mo Senyi said, taking a few steps forward. , Mo Sensi and Mo Senwu stood on both sides of him.

"Yes...Master Lu, this is the eldest prince, King Cheng, the one on the left is the fourth prince, and the one on the right is the fifth prince."

"The humble minister Han Xianghu City prefect Lu Hongxing, kowtowed to King Cheng, the fourth and fifth princes."

"Master Lu, please, this is an extraordinary period, and this king is not too polite. Please tell me about the current situation in Hanxiang Lake City, Lord Lu."

"Yes, the situation nine days ago has been urgently reported to the emperor. I believe the prince and everyone already know about it. But the current situation is the same as it was nine days ago, and there is no change."

"That is to say, a total of 13 people died, [-] people were infected, and the others were not abnormal, right?" Mo Senyi pondered, there has been no change in nine days, which is a bit strange.Could it be that the plague has a longer incubation time?But in this way, what is the explanation for the deaths of those eight people?But if it wasn't the plague... I was taken aback at the thought, if it wasn't the plague, what was it?Poisoned?Plus with a brewing competition coming up, if it's poisoning?

Mo Senyi felt that it was impossible. If it was poisoning, it was impossible that the doctor hired by the yamen would not be able to detect it. "Do you have any clue about what plague infection?"

"My minister is ashamed, including all the doctors in Xianghu City, they couldn't find out the reason."

"I understand. Doctor Hong, the head of the Imperial Hospital, even he was sent here, which shows that Mo Haolou not only attaches great importance to this plague incident, but is also very cautious about the safety of his sons.

"Why did you keep fourth brother here?" Mo Senwu was the first to ask.Mo Senwu's attitude towards Mo Senyi was not good, even somewhat hostile.It's not that Mo Senwu is because of the battle for the throne, but that he hates Mo Senyi. In the final analysis, Qingtian is very kind to Mo Senyi, and avoids him if he can. This makes Mo Senwu very upset, and also I will hate Mo Senyi.

"Your fourth brother has a stable personality. Keep him here in case something happens to us. He will take care of the royal family and others. If the fifth brother wants to stay here, you can issue a military order and not violate the king's orders." Order, sneak into the city." Mo Senyi made the worst plan.In case they accidentally die when they go in, Mo Sensi is still in the royal family, and if he is, with Mo Senwu's personality, if he is kept here, something may happen.

"You...huh." Mo Senwu turned his face away, his face was a little red, the kid was embarrassed.

It proved that Mo Senyi's words were not wrong.

A light flashed in Morrison's eyes, but he only nodded without saying anything.

Including Fragrant Lake City.

A lot of people came in through the city gate, their posture and pomp were unmatched by ordinary people, which made the originally desolate street a lot more lively.Some people even ran out eagerly to watch, and everyone whispered to each other.

"The emperor actually sent King Cheng and the Fifth Prince." Cheng Ying said unexpectedly.

"It was indeed an accident." Mo Tianqiong looked outside while drinking tea. "Even Hong Yuan is here, so tell me, will the other party be nervous?"

"The subordinates think that the master is looking forward to Lu Xieyi's arrival."

"Hahaha..." Mo Tianqiong chuckled, "You know me well, so guess where Lu Tingxu should be right now?"

"This... subordinates don't know." Lu Xieyi has always been in a strange place, otherwise the master wouldn't have searched for him for so long because of the hand injury of the tender son.It's just a pity that Doctor Lu Xie found it, but Mr. Wenqing followed Master Xuankong's whereabouts into a mystery.

"I guess, he already has a good understanding of the situation here." Mo Tianqiong continued.

what?

A smile appeared on the corner of Mo Tianqiong's lips: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there."

Chinese, a tall man with an evil temperament walked in from the door of the inn. The man looked a little ordinary, but his eyes were very charming.Although he was dressed in common clothes, he did not hide his unique temperament.

"A Taoist's right and wrong will damage the reputation of Xiaoyao Wang." Lu Tingxu came to Mo Tianqiong's table. Cheng Wei knew him a little while looking for Lu Tingxu two years ago, so he directly poured him a glass of boiled water.

For Lu Tingxu, if it is not the best tea, he will not drink it.And there is no tea in this inn that is worthy of Lu Xieyi, so the only thing he can drink is plain water.

"It's my king's blessing to be able to tell Brother Lu's right and wrong behind his back." Mo Tianqiong said as he stood up and made a gesture of invitation.

The two went upstairs and entered the room, with Cheng Ying and Cheng Wei guarding the door.After entering the room, Lu Tingxu's usually cynical face had a rare serious expression.

In fact, as early as just now, as careful as Mo Tianqiong, he had already discovered that something was wrong with him.

Sure enough, after entering the room, Lu Tingxu sat on the chair as if paralyzed.

"Troublesome?" Seeing this, it was hard for Mo Tianqiong not to say something that hurt him.

"I've never encountered such a situation before." Lu Tingxu has always been conceited, otherwise, why would he be called an evil doctor, "It's not a plague, nor is it poisoned. I have checked both the plagued and healthy people, and this is the first time I have encountered their condition in the past 20 years since I studied medicine and practiced medicine." Although it was the first time, I was angry and excited at the same time.As a doctor, if Lu Tingxu takes second place, no one in Ming Dynasty would dare to take first place.So this plague event is a challenge for him.

"That's ridiculous." Mo Tianqiong was also taken aback by Lu Tingxu's words.

"You said earlier that the plague incident caused the death of eight people. If there are corpses, it may be easier to find out the reason."

"The yamen has been sealed, and the bodies of the eight people have been cremated."

"That's a pity."

"Not quite."

"How to say?"

"On the list of eight dead people, only one person is missing. Presumably that person is different from the other seven people. If it is not the difference in identity, the body is different. If that person can be found out, maybe... "

"This matter will trouble King Xiaoyao."

"guest……"

dong dong dong...

The eager knock on the door was accompanied by Cheng He's cry: "Master...Master..." Cheng He, like Cheng Ying and Cheng Wei, was Mo Tianqiong's bodyguard.

"Come in."

"Master, look what it is." Cheng Ying spread out his palm, and in his palm was a jade pendant.

Ordinary people don't know about this jade pendant, but Mo Tianqiong, or anyone who is familiar with the royal family, knows it.This piece of jade is what Mo Tianqiong asked for back from Mo Haolou after Qingtian injured his hand two years ago. It is the Emperor's property.That is to say, this is a thing of love.

The hand holding the jade pendant clenched into a fist.Xiao Qingtian, are you here?In Lu Tingxu's eyes, Mo Tianqiong has always been a calm person, but at this moment, there is a kind of seriousness that Lu Tingxu is unfamiliar with in his expression.

"Where did you get that?"
