I have a city that never sleeps

The evidence that has been carefully prepared for several days is finally coming in handy.

This is the most important move for Prince Zhao Qi Huan to bring down the forces of the Left Prime Minister. Of course, he should not act recklessly, so as not to overwhelm the enemy.

God knows how long he has been holding back in his heart these days, silently waiting for this day, breaking through the defense line of the left prime minister in one fell swoop, and truly becoming the biggest winner.

Of course, all of this would be difficult to break through only by his actions, and the support of the forces under him was also needed.

In order to make all the party members obey his arrangement, Qi Huan specially sent Mr. Su from the city that never sleeps to suppress the place. Sure enough, Su Buyu sat there and didn't need to say anything, just drink tea and eat. The pastries made all the officials excited and eager to comply with the request.

The little mouth promised one more quickly and one more loyal, and Qi Huan returned with a rewarding experience. He couldn't help feeling that this move was really easy to use.

Then, on a carefully selected morning morning, following Qi Huan's look, all his party officials froze and nodded secretly.

Tang's servant was the first to stand up: "Your Majesty, if you have something to do, please play."

Before the little emperor could react, in the next moment, several ministers followed him and stood up: "Your Majesty, if you have something to do, please speak."

"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, please play."

"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, please play."

……

The little emperor looked bewildered.

He listened to several ministers exposing all kinds of evil evidence of the leftist party members in his ears, and he didn't know what happened for a while.

"Your Majesty, Chen Qizuo, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has embezzled and accepted bribes worth more than one million taels of gold and silver..."

"Your Majesty, the minister Qi Zuo Zhongshu Ling has several murder cases in his hands, but Dali Temple refuses to pursue them..."

"Your Majesty, the minister Qizou Zhongdu..."

A piece of incriminating evidence is as solid as a mountain, written in the imperial memorial, almost piled up like a hill.

At this moment, Prime Minister Zuo and his party members' expressions changed drastically, and they were terrified.

They don't know where they got the criminal evidence, why Qi Huan would suddenly pursue it, but what's even more frightening is that all these criminal evidences are true!

It's their sinful past that they don't want anyone to know about!

But now, it was dug up openly and submitted to the memorial!

While they were racking their brains and thinking about how to get rid of the evidence, a young eunuch suddenly stumbled into the hall.

"Your Majesty! It's not good! The people in the capital gathered in front of the Forbidden City angrily, saying that they wanted to kill the dog officials and give them justice!"

"What?!" The little emperor hadn't spoken yet, and the left minister's party members in the hall had already changed their countenance.

Even Zuo Xiang stabbed at Qi Huan with sharp eyes, and he soon realized who was behind this conspiracy!

Qi Huan, however, met his gaze squarely, and the moment they looked at each other, he naturally narrowed his eyes and smiled at him.

There is pride and disdain hidden in this smile, it seems that they are sure that they will fail.

That's right, Du secretly planned to organize the people in the capital to rise up to protest, Qi Huan can be said to have completely blocked the way for the Left Prime Minister to retreat.

"Your Majesty." He finally came out and said meaningfully to the little emperor, "Every one of these is a capital offense. If these corrupt officials are not dealt with, it will be difficult to appease the anger of the people."

"..." All the leftists' hearts jumped, and the bad premonition grew stronger.

They realized that this might be an unprecedented catastrophe.

If you are not careful, you will be lost forever!

At the same time, many wronged people suddenly appeared in the capital. They were either slandered and caused the death of their families, or were enslaved and dared not speak out, but under the careful arrangement of the prince, they finally chose to gather together Power, chose to expose the matter one by one, and wrote it into a blood book, begging the emperor to give them justice.

People always follow the crowd. Seeing so many people crying for grievances, many righteous people joined their ranks and gathered in front of the Forbidden City to form the final attack of Prince Zhao Qihuan.

In the midst of public grievances, these things will definitely not be suppressed because of official authority, then Qi Huan and others can finally overthrow the leftists!

It can be said that this day in the capital is very lively, and there is a lot of noise, and all the people are eagerly watching and talking about it.

However, in the Su Clan's Academy, which is far away from the capital city, there was no noise from the world.

After the city that never sleeps closed, Su Buyi returned to Su's Academy, teaching and educating people while communicating with the prince about the progress of the plan.

Of course, his school is not just teaching, the students have to go to the fields to experience the sufferings of the world.

There is a high probability that these students will be the pillars of the next generation of the imperial court, so that they can taste the hard work of the people in advance, and they will not become the next corrupt officials.

And Su Buyi also tried to come up with some new tricks in his spare time. For example, the efficiency of arable land was too low, so he wanted to improve the farm tools, and even made a very detailed schematic diagram, ordering the students to give it to a famous craftsman. to make.

The students were all amazed at his ingenuity. They had never seen this kind of farm tool. Can it improve the farming efficiency?

Seeing that they were very interested, Su Buyi said, "If you want to learn, I can spend half an hour every day teaching you the principles, how about it?"

Everyone was naturally extremely happy and nodded repeatedly. You must know that Mr. Su is a man of great learning, no matter how much you learn from him, it is not too much.

A gust of wind blew at this moment, almost blowing up the blueprints in their hands. The students quickly grabbed the blueprints in their arms, and only after the whistling wind finally stopped roaring in their ears did they look in the direction of the capital with lingering fear: "Why is the wind so weird today? Could something be wrong with the capital?"

"It's okay." Su Buyi smiled at them, looked into the distance, and said with a half-smile, "Soon, this hustle and bustle will end."

At that time, the court will really decide the winner.

No one can compete with Qi Huan's status.

However, there are only a few people who know about the disputes in the capital city, just like Anqing, which is far away, did not receive this news at all, and people still live freely as before.

Yijia also finally saw the performance that he was thinking of, that is, the performance of breaking the boulder on the chest and throwing the knife with a mask seemed to be different from what he remembered.

For example, if a boulder is broken in the chest, why is the person vomiting blood when the stone is not broken? Why is the masked knife flying, the target apple is fine, but the passerby's hair is cut off in half...

But this is also uniquely interesting, seeing the faces of the guards in the government who are about to vomit blood and have no nostalgia, Yi Jia laughed as if amused, and his mood improved a lot.

Yu Wenshan still asked from the side: "What do you think, young master?"

Yijia nodded reservedly: "It's not bad."

Yu Wenshan was satisfied: "That's good, the young master is happy than anything else."

Anyway, only those guards were injured in the end.

In this way, Yijia lived comfortably in the yamen for three days. During these three days, everyone was almost responsive to his requests, trying to think of various tricks to make him happy in order not to make him bored.

But it was obvious that doing so was very effective, and Yi Jia played happily for three days, but he never thought of the fact that he was going to pretend to be a thief with the government guards and arrest people secretly.

And Yu Wenshan also chose to let the guards attack in the middle of the night when Yijia would not be disturbed, so he did it quietly.

But even though it was well planned, this matter was still unsuccessful, because it was only two masked people who handed over to them. Five taels of silver for a person, and he is only responsible for carrying the person to the ruined temple outside the city, and the rest is unknown.

And it seemed that the sound of fighting spread all over the place, alarming the people behind the scenes. When the guards rushed to the ruined temple, they didn't see a single person.

When Yu Wenshan heard about this, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. The people behind the scene were so careful, could it be that there was some ulterior and shocking secret hidden in it?

You must know that whenever something is serious, you will try your best to hide yourself. If it is not serious, you don't need to be so cautious.

But before there were more clues, Yu Wenshan had no choice but to send people to continue to inquire if anyone was missing before making plans.

And on the third day when Yi Jia stayed in the Yamen happily, a guard came to inform that a man named Ji Tong wanted to talk to Yi Jia.

When Yu Wenshan heard about it, he knew that this was the person who came to pick up Yi Jia. Although he felt a little melancholy, he went out to meet him himself.

As soon as he walked out of the gate, he could see a man in his 30s standing beside the horse, sweating profusely, with a slightly pale face and unsteady breathing.But he looked anxiously into the yamen, and when he saw Ji Tong coming out, he instinctively became nervous, then quickly smiled and saluted: "Your Excellency is Master Yu, my name is Ji Tong, I don't know if the young master is here .”

"You're welcome, Yu has been waiting for a long time." Yu Wenshan smiled back, "Please come in quickly, the young master is inside the yamen."

He took the lead to lead Ji Tong in. From the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ji Tong who was wiping sweat and arranging his clothes. He couldn't help but smiled and said, "You seem to be in a hurry, but it's true. It takes five days to travel from the capital to Anqing. You will arrive in three days."

Ji Tong smiled wryly and said, "Isn't this worried about the young master?" Otherwise, he wouldn't be running so fast, and almost exhausted the horse to death.

Halfway through the speech, he realized that his words were inappropriate, and quickly added: "My lord, don't misunderstand, it's just entrusted by others. If the young master loses a single hair, I may be in big trouble. It's really a day and night. I can't sleep or eat, I wish I could come here immediately."

Yu Wenshan was slightly taken aback at first, but when he thought of the senior brothers who were always talking about Yijia in the city that never sleeps, he immediately laughed knowingly: "It really isn't easy to build a good relationship with the city that never sleeps."

Ji Tong was keenly aware of the sadness hidden under his words, and his eyes lit up: "Could it be possible that adults also have a deep understanding? Is it true that taking care of the young master these days..."

Yu Wenshan hastily interrupted him with a wry smile: "Tap as far as you can, click as far as you can."

Ji Tong immediately showed a sympathetic and helpless smile, and the two looked at each other, only seeing the complexity hidden in each other's eyes.

After Yu Wenshan led Ji Tong into the backyard, he realized belatedly that there were no other guards accompanying Ji Tong. Could it be that this person came by himself?

But seeing that Yijia and Ji Tong were reuniting after a long absence, they didn't bring up this topic.

As soon as he saw the young master's face, Ji Tong immediately looked around nervously.

Very good, there is no bump or lack of anything, even the smooth and moist little face seems to be a lot rounder, it seems that it is doing well.

With a quick breath in his heart, Ji Tong's face gradually showed emotion and joy, and he stretched out his hand excitedly towards Yijia: "Young master, I finally see you!"

But before he moved closer, Yi Jia looked him up and down with a frown, and suddenly raised his hand: "Wait, don't move."

Ji Tong froze, thinking that the young master had forgotten his face in just three days and didn't know him anymore, so he became anxious immediately: "Young master, it's me, I'm Ji Tong."

Unexpectedly, Yi Jia touched his earlobe and looked at him with disgust: "Why are you shouting so loudly, of course I can hear it."

Ji Tong tentatively said, "You still know me, don't you?"

"Of course." Yijia snorted coldly, "Do you think my memory is that bad?"

Only then did Ji Tong feel relieved, but he was still a little puzzled: "Then why did you stop me?"

Yijia stared at him closely, folded his arms around his chest and said suspiciously: "Didn't you notice... your body is not normal!"

Ji Tong was startled: "What?"

While he was wondering, Yijia looked at him carefully, walked around him twice, looked from forehead to heels, from fingers to ears, and then slowly said: "The complexion is pale, but Yintang is black. , sweating profusely on his forehead, weak and weak... stick out your tongue and let me see."

Ji Tong did as he said, and only glanced at it, but Yijia shook his head and said, "Your tongue coating is white, sure enough, you are poisoned."

This sentence shocked Ji Tong and almost jumped up, "What? How is it possible?!"

He was in a hurry all the way, without stopping, and occasionally stopped to have a quick bite when eating, and even slept on the street at night to take a nap for a while and continued on the road. He had no contact with other people at all, so how could he be poisoned by someone.

There is reason to suspect that Yijia made a wrong judgment because he rushed too hastily. Ji Tong reminded: "But I hardly met anyone on this journey, and I only felt a little uncomfortable after eating yesterday. It should be due to acclimatization. Hurry up on the road, is the young master too serious?"

It was also reasonable to say that he traveled day and night upside down, and he only ate in a hurry, so he ate too fast and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and didn't care.

After that, the situation was a little bit worse, but he also thought that it was the reason for his tossing on the road, and he just needed to rest for a while.

But Yijia didn't think so: "Then where did you eat yesterday?"

"It's a small place passing by here." Ji Tong thought for a while, "It's called Huaining County."

Yijia remembered the name in her heart, and asked again: "Are you the only one who has this symptom after eating?"

Hearing this, Ji Tong's heart suddenly skipped a beat, because he thought of the big problem he had ignored: "...No."

His face suddenly turned up in panic, obviously realizing what was wrong.

What I got immediately was Yijia's speechless sigh: "Then do they have symptoms similar to yours, or worse than yours, such as fever, coma, body pain, etc.?"

Ji Tong finally panicked: "Speaking of which, the guards who followed me had a slight fever this morning, and their heads were sweating. I thought they hadn't thought much about getting sick after traveling day and night... So it was because of poisoning? But, but we didn't Meet any suspicious people! Could it be the food? Poisoned in the food?!"

Yu Wenshan couldn't help becoming serious. After all, it involves the trap of the common people. As a parent official, he has a strong sense of responsibility: "Mr. Ji, don't worry. Think about the things before and after the poisoning. Is someone trying to harm you secretly? Don't worry. , if such a thief makes trouble, I will definitely seek justice for you!"

"Thank you, sir." Ji Tong barely settled down, recalling what happened at noon yesterday in detail.

At that time, they happened to pass by Huaining and were still hungry, so they went to a restaurant and ordered some steamed buns and usual appetizers. The restaurant was very busy that day, and the waiter didn't have time to entertain them, so they almost ate quietly. Just leave, the whole journey does not take more than a quarter of an hour, it seems that there is nothing wrong.

Yijia also frowned strangely after hearing this, but he was right, this kind of symptom is like poisoning!

"Where is your guard?" Yijia decided to use another person's judgment, "His symptoms are serious and I can diagnose them more accurately. Take me to see him."

"I saw that they were not feeling well and asked them to rest in the restaurant." Ji Tong said quickly, "I will lead the way, and we will go together!"

Yu Wenshan also followed closely: "I'll go too!"

So a group of people immediately left the Yamen and walked to the restaurant.

As soon as the door of the guest room was pushed open, Yijia could feel the toxin flowing faintly in the room, and he had already confirmed it halfway in his heart. When he got close to the guard who was half unconscious and blushing by the bed, he was completely convinced: "Look, You must be poisoned, and you are still stubborn."

He glanced at Yu Wenshan and Ji Tong, and reminded: "You two had better not get too close, this toxin has the effect of infection, it's not good to get close."

Hearing this, Yu Wenshan and Ji Tong immediately took two steps back, their expressions were shocked.

It is really poisonous, it is incredible!

Thinking that his weak appearance was the cause of the poisoning, Ji Tong felt very palpitating. He wanted to get rid of the poison urgently, and the only person who could immediately help was Yi Jia.

Ji Tong could only plead cheekily: "I don't know if the young master can undo the poison, please save our lives!"

Yijia said proudly without hesitation: "Hmph, what nonsense are you asking, there is no poison in this world that I cannot cure!"

Glancing at Ji Tong's delighted eyes, Yi Jia coughed lightly and said in an elongated tone, "But I'm a miracle doctor, and it's quite expensive. It's not that easy for me to do it."

"It should be." Ji Tong smiled wryly, knowing that the young master would not easily take advantage of them.

He just wanted to say a big amount in return, but Yu Wenshan suddenly raised his hand to block his words, and said to Yijia with a smile: "Young master, in fact, we have an interesting place in Anqing that you haven't visited yet." look."

Yijia moved his ears, looked at him from the corner of his eye, and he continued: "And the people there are also very interesting, some people think that they are a flower, and they will stand motionless under the sun and wait for it to thrive; I am a fish, so I live in the lake and never go ashore."

The more he talked, the brighter the light in Yijia's eyes became, and he couldn't help asking: "Is there really such an interesting place?"

"Of course." Yu Wenshan pointed at Ji Tong, "As long as you can help them get rid of the poison, I will take you there, how about it."

"It's a deal!" Yijia agreed quite happily.

This can't help but shock Ji Tong, who still wants to spend money to buy consultation fees.

What?The young master was bought off so easily? ?He doesn't need to spend money anymore? ?

He looked at Yu Wenshan dumbfounded, but saw Yu Wenshan blinked at him and smiled triumphantly.

For some reason, Ji Tong always felt that this smile was showing off, but he still suppressed the sour feeling and thanked Yu Wenshan.

...Obviously I came first.

Yijia didn't have time to deal with the secret confrontation between the two adults. He took off the guard's robe, took out the silver needle and quickly treated the toxin, but a quarter of an hour passed, no matter how much internal force he sent, the poisonous gas still hadn't disappeared. can be discharged completely.

But just like this, the guard's complexion gradually improved, and he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.

Yijia withdrew her internal energy, but her brows were still not very pretty.

Seeing his expression, Yu Wenshan and Ji Tong had a bad feeling: "How?"

Yi Jia spat out two words unhappily: "It's not good."

Ji Tong's body flickered, and his face became even paler: "Could it be that this poison even the young master..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Yijia glared at him, "There is no way to get rid of it quickly with acupuncture, so I can only take medicine, but it will take at least three days to see the effect, which will affect my reputation as a genius doctor! "

What kind of a miracle doctor is a miracle doctor who can cure a disease without even looking at it!

So he has always resisted taking medicine, especially ordinary Chinese medicinal materials, but this poison is more difficult than he imagined, so he can only get rid of it by taking medicine.

Yi Jia was very depressed, but Ji Tong breathed a sigh of relief: "I knew that the young master had a good solution! He is indeed a genius doctor, and only a genius doctor like the young master can find a cure for such a vicious toxin so quickly. I admire you. !"

Just one sentence turned the cloudy sky into clear sky. Yi Jia raised her chin triumphantly and said happily, "Isn't it? If you meet a genius doctor like me, go for it! It's the greatest luck in your life."

Yijia was even more happy when Ji Tong continued to support him. This made Yu Wenshan, who was watching this scene from the sidelines, look deeply at Ji Tong.

Sure enough, this person also knows how to make the young master happy!

Tsk, he is indeed a talent!

Ji Tong seemed to feel his gaze, and turned his head to meet his gaze. The two looked into each other's eyes, as if they could feel the fiery heart of comparison!

Just when the two lost their minds because of this unknown jealousy, Yijia had already finished writing the prescription and handed it to Ji Tong, asking him and the guards to drink three meals a day to see the curative effect.

Ji Tong gratefully took it, but he didn't know where to get the medicine, or Yu Wenshan kindly took him there to get the medicine, and invited him to rest in the yamen.

After a bowl of medicine was poisoned, whether it was a psychological effect or something, Ji Tong really felt that his health had improved a lot.

Only now did he have the time to discuss the poisoning in detail with Yi Jia and Yu Wenshan.

"Since there is no reason to frame you, maybe it's not a purpose to poison you." Yu Wenshan expressed his thoughts meaningfully.

Ji Tong's eyes lit up: "You mean, either the wrong location was used, or the poisoning was done regardless of the target?"

"That's right." Yu Wenshan knocked on the table, "Now, the only way to know the cause and effect is to go to the restaurant you went to find out."

"I'll send my subordinates to investigate in that restaurant right now." Yu Wenshan finally said, "You can rest in peace and recuperate, and we'll talk about everything after the investigation results come out."

With a sore nose, Ji Tong thanked him repeatedly for his kindness.

So on this day, Ji Tong also experienced the top-notch treatment that Yijia received. He could say whatever he wanted, and invite him from the outside if he wanted to see anything. Even when walking, some people were afraid that Yijia would fall. Lay down a soft blanket to make sure you don't get hurt.

... Ji Tong thought that his protection was very thorough, but compared with the people in this yamen, he is a fart, he is not even worthy of lifting the heel of a shoe!

He deeply reflected his sloppy treatment of the young master, and secretly decided to treat the young master more carefully and tenderly, but before Ji Tong could put it into action, he saw Yu Wenshan come back with a sullen face, exuding an unpleasant feeling all over his body. aura.

This made Ji Tong's mood sink quickly, and he had a bad premonition: "What happened?"

Yu Wenshan sighed, not seeing Yi Jia left or right, so he put a letter on the table with confidence, and said in a low voice, "This is an urgent letter sent on a hurry."

Ji Tong quickly opened it, looked at ten lines at a glance, was shocked after reading it, and stood up abruptly: "What?! In just one day, such a big change happened in Huaining County?!"

"That's right." Yu Wenshan said in pain, "I heard that one out of dozens of people in Huaining County has a fever, vomiting, aches and fatigue, the symptoms are exactly the same as yours, so..."

"Is this a large-scale poisoning incident?" Ji Tong gasped.

Yu Wenshan: "Yes. I heard that the number of deaths has also increased, and it is beyond control."

"The most frightening thing about this toxin is that it can be quickly transmitted to others. What the young master said is indeed true... My subordinates only went there for a while, and they also contracted the same symptoms after coming into contact with patients." Yu Wenshan's voice revealed Feeling sad, "In order not to infect the people in Anqing, he doesn't plan to come back for the time being, so he sent a letter to reply..."

Listening to this, Ji Tong was trembling with anger, and cursed: "Who on earth is so vicious that he poisoned the entire county!"

"Hush." ​​Yu Wenshan glared at him immediately, "Such a loud voice will be heard by the young master, keep it down."

Ji Tong was puzzled: "Why didn't the young master hear it? Now the poison in Huaining County can only be cured by the young master!"

Yu Wenshan said harshly: "Didn't you hear me say that the contagion is extremely strong, that is to say, if the young master goes to treat him, he will also be infected. Now you still want him to go to that place!"

Ji Tong was stunned.

He promised Ye Jianshen, Great Xia Chu and others that he would never let the young master suffer any harm.

If the young master got sick and died because he went to save others, the consequences would be unimaginably serious.

Why would he not mention it himself? Will the city that never sleeps be open to the people of Wei?Wouldn't the people in the city that never sleeps declare war on the entire Wei Dynasty because they were too sad?

That would be a more serious consequence than sacrificing a county.

... Even without mentioning those influences, just talking about this matter, did he willfully throw a young child into danger?

...impossible.

How can this be done?

So Ji Tong fell silent, almost agreeing with Yu Wenshan's approach.

"...Isn't there a prescription? Give them the prescription." Yu Wenshan sighed, "It will take time to heal, and I don't know how many people will be infected during this period, but... it's better than nothing." Don't be strong."

"I will also report to the imperial court and let them send someone to solve it... that's the only way."

"The imperial court probably doesn't have time to take care of these things." Ji Tong raised his lips mockingly.

Yu Wenshan was puzzled: "What's going on?"

Ji Tong: "Just a while ago, there was news that Prince Zhao had started to attack the leftist forces. He found countless evidence of crimes, which can completely send many officials with heavy fists to death row... Now the court has gone into trouble. Overturned, no time to manage the rest."

"This timing...is so coincidental." Yu Wenshan sighed again, feeling heartbroken, "Then...then...you can only pray to heaven."

Ji Tong felt quite helpless. He had experienced the feeling of being poisoned, and the pain was extremely strong. Now that hundreds of people in Huaining are suffering, he was the only one who got help, and he felt very uncomfortable.

He wanted to ask Yu Wenshan to think of another way, but when he saw Yu Wenshan's painful eyes, he immediately understood.

Yu Wenshan suffered countless times more than he imagined. Whenever he thought of the subordinates who sacrificed themselves to stay in Huaining, as long as he thought of those people who needed help, Yu Wenshan's heart tightened tightly.

But he had no other choice.

... You can't sacrifice the little prince because of this, absolutely not.

Although Yijia was having fun, she was still curious about the poisoning incident.

After all, the toxin this time is quite powerful, even he who has full-level medical skills finds it a bit tricky, it seems extraordinary.

However, he thought that if he had any questions, Yu Wenshan would definitely notify him as soon as possible, and he never thought of asking.

But gradually he discovered that his keen sixth sense was working. He always felt that Yu Wenshan and Ji Tong's emotions were quite weird, and they also avoided him quite a bit, as if they were hiding some secret.

Yi Jia has always been straightforward, and since he found a problem, he directly asked the two of them.

The first two times were interrupted by the two of them, but the third time, as Yi Jia pressed the two of them against the edge of the wall, glaring at them fiercely and not letting them go, the two had nowhere to hide and could only Faced Ika with a wry smile.

So Yijia put her arms around her chest, narrowed her eyes and raised her head: "Tell me, what are you hiding?"
