Chapter 130 The Poisoner is Caught
Emperor Tianyuan put down the memorial in his hand.
"The King of Qin and his family have arrived in the northwest?"
When You Chatou heard the title, "King of Qin", cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"Your Majesty, I am guilty."
Emperor Tianyuan only felt a pang in his heart.
"What's the meaning?"
Yu Cha lowered his head even lower upon hearing this.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Qin and his wife have already arrived in the northwest. They've built a house, and the rice they planted is growing well. They're getting along well with the villagers..."
Emperor Tianyuan only felt that the bad premonition in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
"Where is the King of Qin?"
When You Chatou heard the majestic question, his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"There was a little accident on the road..."
Emperor Tianyuan spoke in a deep voice.
"explain."
Yu Chatou had no choice but to bite the bullet and speak.
"We were attacked by a pack of wolves on the road. The King of Qin was bitten. He died on the road, with no village or shop in sight. Please... Your Majesty, punish me..."
At the end of his speech, You Cha's voice was trembling, and one could even feel the Tianyuan Emperor's rage.
"Clang" was the sound of the inkstone hitting the ground. Emperor Tianyuan stood up and waved his hand to knock the valuable inkstone off the table.
The eunuch beside him spoke hurriedly and worriedly.
"emperor."
Emperor Tianyuan's already old face became even more haggard, and his eyes were red in vain, but how could an emperor shed tears? He slowly closed his eyes, and his eyes trembled uncontrollably.
"Tell me more carefully. I want to know why so many families can't protect the King of Qin alone?"
The eunuch hurriedly helped Emperor Tianyuan sit down, reached out his hand to help him calm down, and spoke to comfort him.
"Your Majesty, please take care of yourself."
He hurriedly poured hot tea for the emperor.
You Chatou recalled what happened along the way.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince and his wife are very clever. They have taken good care of the Prince of Qin's residence along the way. First, they met the Prince of Rui's concubine in a town, and then they met the Crown Prince in Fengcheng.
The Crown Prince met with the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess alone. The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess appeared when they set out on the next day. However, for some unknown reason, the Hua family's manor caught fire and burned everything in the manor.
Later, they were attacked by wolves at Tianshan Ridge, and the King of Qin was in trouble."
You Cha raised his head to look at the emperor before continuing to speak cautiously.
"Your Majesty, the Prince of Qin's accident is likely related to the Chen family. There was such a panic at the time that I was only concerned with everyone's escape. When the Crown Prince buried the Prince, the Princess also committed suicide for love. Later, I heard the Crown Prince and the Chen family arguing. The Crown Prince said that the Chen family killed the Prince of Qin and forced the Princess to die. And judging by the Chen family's expressions, it seems that they didn't deny it."
Emperor Tianyuan clenched his fists upon hearing this.
"The Chen family, what a great Chen family! It's actually all because of the Chen family."
Seeing Emperor Tianyuan was very angry, his breathing was unstable.
You Chatou spoke hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, please accept my condolences. The Crown Prince and his wife are very smart. They are living a good life now. Master Mo Yan and Miss Mo Hua are also doing well."
Emperor Tianyuan took a deep breath, drank some tea served by the eunuchs, and then slowly spoke.
"Did my Mo Ye bring me a message?"
Upon hearing this, You Cha Tou spoke hurriedly.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me to tell the Emperor that a man with great ambitions can reach thousands of miles and soar to the sky."
The memories of the past seem to be just yesterday.
Emperor Tianyuan and the high-spirited King Qin were playing chess, while the young Jun Moye was reciting aloud from a book.
"Puff." A mouthful of blood spurted out from Emperor Tianyuan's mouth.
The eunuchs around him were filled with panic.
"Your Majesty, Imperial Physician, please hurry..."
You Chatou also spoke with an anxious look on his face.
"emperor."
Emperor Tianyuan waved his hand slightly.
"Don't alarm others, I'm fine..."
The eunuch hurriedly helped Emperor Tianyuan to calm down.
"emperor."
Emperor Tianyuan sat in the chair and relaxed.
Then he looked at You Chatou.
"I have read the memorials you submitted regarding the suppression of the bandits. I will reward you accordingly. Go and give the other two some advice so they know what they can and cannot say in the future."
Upon hearing this, You Cha Tou hurriedly bowed.
"Yes, I understand."
Emperor Tianyuan looked at the eunuchs around him.
The eunuch immediately walked up to You Chatou.
"Youchatou, please come in. I will arrange for someone to escort you out of the palace. Remember, you did not enter the palace today."
Guanping Village in the northwest.
Jun Moye and Su Hanchu were squatting in the rice field. They could not be spotted under the cover of darkness and rice.
Sure enough, it was in the second half of the night.
In the faint moonlight, the two saw someone sneaking towards Jun's rice fields.
The two looked at each other in the night, holding their breath slightly as they looked at the person who came, but their faces could not be seen clearly in the darkness.
I saw a figure squatting on the edge of the field, taking out a fire starter and blowing it, then observing the fish in the rice field.
Jun Moye and Su Hanchu now saw clearly, wasn't this Chen Wenmin? They hadn't expected that their momentary softness would bring so much trouble to the Jun family. Having seen Chen Wenmin's family behave themselves, and considering that the Chen family's third branch had rarely come near the Jun family along the way, they didn't embarrass them.
When Chen Wenmin saw that most of the fish in the rice field were dead, he remembered that the Jun family had been telling others how well the fish were growing today. He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Hurriedly prepared to get up and leave.
Seeing this, Jun Moye jumped up and kicked him into the rice field.
Chen Wenmin fell into the field and was hit by the mud.
"Who, who is it?"
Su Hanchu and Jun Moye stood in front of him. Su Hanchu took out a night pearl from the space and spoke coldly.
"Chen Wenmin, your Chen family is really the best at courting death."
A hint of panic flashed across Chen Wenmin's eyes.
"I don't understand what you are saying, I..."
Su Hanchu looked at his embarrassed appearance and curled up a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
"Chen Wenmin, whether you understand or not is no longer important. You were jealous of the Jun family's fish, so you poisoned them at night, killing thousands of them. At daybreak, we will confront the authorities."
Chen Wenmin spoke with a look of panic.
"I didn't. You're slandering me. Your fish are clearly dead. You're trying to put the blame on me. Don't even think about it."
Jun Moye looked at him with a cold face. He himself felt that the people of the Chen family were so dirty.
"Chen Wenmin, tell me, why did you come to our Jun family's rice fields in the middle of the night? If you didn't poison us, what were you doing? And so many of our fish died. If my wife hadn't suddenly felt anxious tonight and we hadn't happened to see it, wouldn't your trick have succeeded?"
Chen Wenmin realized that the Jun family probably didn't know who poisoned the fish. The fish were really dead in the afternoon, but the Jun family deliberately said that the fish were still fine, causing him to suspect that not enough medicine was given, and then came to check. What a trick to fall into the trap. Fortunately, he had already arranged for his wife and children to leave.
"Why do you say I was the one who poisoned you? No one else saw it except you."
