Xiaolin felt a little surprised, he took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Could it be that you want to negotiate terms with me?"

"My lord is wise, so be it." Xu Yan said with a smile, and then refilled Xiaolin's tea. With his smooth and skillful movements, it was impossible to tell that this person was blind.

Xu Yan sat up straight and said to Xiaolin: "My condition is very simple, that is, I can testify on the spot when the national teacher is judged."

This request is not too much, but Xiaolin is very curious why this incense master will testify against the national teacher. Speaking of which, this incense master has been helping the national teacher to make incense and knows everything about court incense. Now he is the only one to testify to prove it This spice is more authoritative if it has a problem.

Xiao Lin nodded and agreed: "Of course it's possible, but I don't know what Mr. Xu wants to testify against the national teacher? Is it convenient for me to know?"

In fact, Xu Yan was just rehabilitating himself for the wrong he had done back then. The fewer people who knew about it, the better, even the blood-related brother in front of him couldn't reveal it.

Xu Yan smiled humbly, and said: "It's just a personal grievance, and it's inconvenient to disclose it, but the prince can rest assured that I will never become an accomplice of the national teacher."

This person looked so calm and relaxed, and his gestures and gestures had an indescribable bearing, just like the charm of a person who came from aristocrats, so Xiao Lin didn't continue to ask.

Only then did Xu Yan take out a box, which contained neatly stacked celadon vials. He pushed the nanmu box over and said, "This is the antidote that has been successfully formulated in the past few days. Please take a look at it, my lord."

Seeing that box, Xiao Lin couldn't hide his throbbing in his heart. The thing he had been looking forward to for a long time finally appeared in front of his eyes. Even if he got the priceless treasure, he was not in the mood at this moment.

Xu Yan said: "If I remember correctly, there are a few death row inmates next to this cell who are suffering from qi disease. If the prince is worried, you can ask someone to try the effect."

Xiaolin opened a porcelain bottle, and there was a faint scent of medicine wafting out. To be safe, he had no choice but to order the cell boss to take it for the prisoners on death row, and he couldn't bear to follow to see the effect.

There were seven people who took the medicine, all of different ages, and their common features were haggard and pale, and their bodies were thin and weak.

Xu Yan said that it would take effect in half an hour, so Xiaolin sat on a stool brought by the prison chief, drank tea and waited patiently.

Half an hour later, the faces of the seven men visibly regained their vigor, and those who had been sluggish were revived. Their whole faces were radiant, and they had obviously returned to the appearance that normal people should have.

Xiao Lin was very satisfied, and praised Xu Yan: "Young master Xu has contributed a lot this time. After returning, this king will report this matter to the emperor. Presumably the emperor will reward him a lot."

Xu Yan did not refuse, but cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, my lord."

"It's just..." Xiaolin thought that there are many people who have been poisoned by the spices in southern Xinjiang, and this amount of medicine is not enough.

Xu Yan seemed to have sensed his concerns, so he suggested: "I will write this prescription out, and the prince can let a powerful drug dealer in the private sector, or the imperial hospital in the palace, make batches of medicines, which may solve the problem of supply. question."

Xiao Lin nodded, but the most important thing is to completely remove the problematic incense in the palace from the root cause, which he will explain to the Holy Majesty afterwards.

Then Xiaolin suggested that maybe the antidote could be made into incense and supplied, completely replacing the original spices.

Xu Yan also agreed with his proposal, and promised to try to develop this spice in the future, and after Xiaolin got the prescription, he checked it and left after confirming that there was no problem.

At this time, Sanyue came in from the door and met Xiaolin. I remembered that Gu Muchen said that Sanyue had an impure mind, and now I saw people running errands behind Xu Yan, so I was sure that Sanyue asked to stay because of Xu Yan. down.

San Yue greeted him, Xiao Lin nodded and walked back to the Sheriff's Mansion without saying anything.

Xu Yan felt that Sanyue was still in a daze at the door, so he said, "Is there any clue about what you asked your stepmother to investigate?"

Only then did Sanyue recover from looking at Xiaolin's back, and bowed her head after entering the door and said: "The mistress said that the family that was exterminated in the Xinling tribe still has a survivor, and it is the young master of that family. The family was exterminated I just went out with my friends that day."

Xu Yan's face became serious, and he couldn't help clenching the hand hanging by his side, and said in a hoarse voice: "Is there any whereabouts of that boy?"

Sanyue shook his head and said: "I heard that the young master's whereabouts are unknown after the family was exterminated. Some people said that he died of illness outside, but the mistress got a portrait after visiting."

Saying that, Sanyue took out a pocket scroll from her sleeve. Although Xu Yan couldn't see it, it seemed that she could predict the appearance of the person in the painting.

Xiaolin came back with the wooden box in his arms, gave some medicine bottles to Wu An, and explained about the problematic batch of incense, so that he could use the strength of the Jiangnan area to produce a batch first.

Wu An knew about the problem with the batch of spices because he heard what his son Wu Xuan said, so he did it without saying anything.

For the rest, Xiaolin was going to send someone to the palace, and it was for the emperor.

Gu Muchen had arranged those hot oil places and had just rushed back from the outside, but his face was not very good. He said to Xiaolin: "Xiaofeng heard the news from the palace that Su Yan's sudden illness is in danger. Hanging his life with drugs, may at any time..."

Xiaolin's face also sank. No wonder the national teacher didn't move after Su Yan entered the prison. It seemed that he had expected that Su Yan would not live long. He wondered if Su Yan was also poisoned by those poisonous spices. So I showed him the antidote.

Gu Muchen saw that Xiaolin's complexion was much better than before, and it seemed that it was the effect of taking this medicine, so he said, "Maybe it's not the disease, the people in Tai Hospital said that Su Yan's symptoms were very similar to the plague in the southwest region, and his body There are scars and the breath is weak, it should be suppressed by the medicine of the national teacher before, but now the medicine is cut off, it must be poison."

Xiaolin's heart sank when he heard this, and suddenly his body swayed unsteadily, and even anger was still smoldering in his heart.

He finally had the opportunity to punish the national teacher, but now it seems that he will miss it again, he is so unwilling.

Gu Muchen came up to support him, understood his thoughts at this time, took out the stack of letters and said: "Don't worry, my lord, first look at the evidence I brought you."

Xiaolin was helped to sit on the chair, and after seeing the letters that Gu Muchen took out, his eyes slowly lit up.

Late at night, in the National Teacher's Mansion.

This magnificent palace is really more magnificent than the imperial palace, with carved beams and painted buildings on the pillars, and the inner hall is even more luxurious, which shows how extravagant the owner who lives here is.

Today, the national teacher Qingyu happened to be away from the mansion, but the guards in the mansion were not relaxed at all, and the patrol team was even stricter than the forbidden army in the palace.

A black figure in night clothes flew over the roof, gliding past like a phantom without leaving any movement.

The black figure came to the main hall, hid on the ridge of the roof and observed the surrounding situation, and found that the door of the sleeping hall was heavily guarded.

He went around to the rear, looked around the weakly guarded yard, and after confirming that it was safe, he jumped, and fell to the ground like a feather without a sound.

Then he passed through the corridor and approached the sleeping hall, avoiding all the guards patrolling back and forth. He managed to sneak in through the window of the sleeping hall, rolled on the ground and hid behind a pillar. He found that the room was dark, but he was sure that there was no one on the bed. He stood up and started searching the house.

Xiaofeng didn't find anything outside, so he entered the main room. The bed there should be the place where the national teacher usually sleeps, so he searched inside and out, but still found nothing.

He sat on that bed, looked around the room under the moonlight, and checked all the places where things might be hidden. Just when he got up and thought he was going to return empty-handed today, he accidentally tripped on his toes.

It was because the ground was uneven, and the nanmu floor was slightly protruding, which made him suspicious.

Xiaofeng leaned down, tapped the floor with his fingers, and found that it was solid, but judging from the scratches on it, it should have been opened often.

He took out a dagger to pry it open, and saw a key hidden underneath. Xiaofeng took out a fire pocket and looked around, and saw a keyhole in a dark compartment under the bed.

I took the key and tried it, and it really opened. There was an unlocked wooden box inside. Xiaofeng carefully took it out and put it on the table next to him. opened.

There were letterheads and a few medicines inside. He read the contents of the letter, and some of them were Fan Bangwen, which he could roughly understand, because he learned a little bit when he was studying art with Gu Muchen when he was young.

These are secret letters with the second prince of Nanyang. He frowned and continued to read these letters. When he saw the letters from the Southwest Region and Su Yan, Xiaofeng was shocked and realized that the epidemic in Banyang was an epidemic. It was a terrifying conspiracy, and those common people got sick only after being poisoned in the well.

Knowing that this national teacher has done a lot of evil, I didn't expect to be so mad. The plague killed more than 5 people and lost their lives in vain. Now I still think it was a natural disaster, but it was actually a man-made disaster.

There is also some criminal evidence that the national teacher ordered Su Yan to withhold food and grass, accept bribes, and fish and meat the common people. Among them, a more important piece of information was implicitly revealed, that is, the national teacher raised private soldiers in Banyang.

Seeing the end, he couldn't restrain the anger in his heart, he really wished that the national teacher's corpse would not be enough to anger the common people!

Xiaofeng was still furious, when a voice sounded outside the door, a man said respectfully: "Master, you are back."

The voice of the national teacher was a little vigilant: "Have you found anything unusual?"

The guard said: "The subordinates have been guarding here, and there is nothing abnormal."

This made Xiaofeng's heart tighten, and he quickly put the letter back into the box, pulled the tablecloth to wrap it up, put it on his back, and fled towards the window.

But the national teacher had already heard the movement in the house, and when he came in, he saw the black figure jumping out of the window. He immediately trembled with anger, and shouted: "Idiot! Don't let people surround the national teacher's mansion, don't let him run away! "
