When Doctor Yang heard this, he stopped the carriage that was delivering food and said in a cold tone.

"Stop it."

The driver said hurriedly, "What's the matter, Lord Yang?"

In the past two days, the news of refugees in the suburbs of Beijing has spread everywhere. Doctor Yang was assigned to deal with the epidemic and he put a lot of thought into it.

"Unload the rice from the truck. I need to check it."

Although the driver didn't understand Doctor Yang's idea, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he stood up and moved the food and fodder down.

"Sir, these are all rice and grain sent by the court. There will be no problem."

Doctor Yang did not give the driver a chance to speak. He casually opened two bags of rice and scooped out a handful. The rice looked normal and did not seem to have been drugged.

But Doctor Yang continued to pierce a few more rice bags. The medicine was hidden too deep, and he was afraid that someone had done it on purpose.

[Master, the food has been poisoned. Let me help you! ]

Xiao Ruyu's soft and cute voice sounded.

Doctor Yang was puzzled. Could it be that the little princess was not only good at medicine, but also had the spiritual power of Medicine King Valley?

Xiao Ruyu secretly used his spiritual power, and at this moment, many rats suddenly came out from the darkness. There were quite a lot of them, and they were all black and looked a little scary.

[Rats, make the bad guys tremble! ]

Xiao Ruyu's smile gradually became outrageous. Who made these people behave like bad people? They really deserved a beating.

The driver was so frightened that he took several steps back. His expression changed slightly and he looked a little incredulous.

"Rats, lots of rats!"

Doctor Yang glanced at Xiao Ruyu and guessed that these mice might have been attracted by the little princess. Since there were free mice to test the poison, he would not be polite.

Doctor Yang poured the rice on the ground, and the rats immediately scrambled to eat the white rice. The scene was so scary that everyone present couldn't help but change their expression.

The people working in the military camp couldn't stand it anymore and said in surprise.

"Doctor Yang, this is the military pay from the imperial court. It is now being sent to the suburbs to give the people a full meal.

We all know that Lord Yang is favored and doesn't care about these grains, but for the refugees, they are extremely precious. Every grain is hard-earned, how can we waste them! "

[Oh my, you sound so high-sounding. The poisoned food has already been given to you to eat, and you still dare to talk about waste. I’ll beat your head off! ]

Xiao Ruyu was a little angry and used magic to make the driver fall down.

The scene was funny for a moment, but it was actually scary to look at.

The Minister of Revenue, who usually had a good relationship with Prime Minister Lu, also frowned and asked in confusion.

"I thought you were a man of high moral character and understood the suffering of the people. I never expected that Imperial Doctor Yang would secretly waste food like this. We are going to report this to His Majesty."

Everyone spoke righteously, and no one doubted that there was something wrong with the food.

Instead, they accused Imperial Doctor Yang of abusing his power, and some had even planned how to make Imperial Doctor Yang even more embarrassed.

Xiao Ruyu is not in a hurry, because this group of people will slap him in the face sooner or later.

[This is slandering the Master. Don’t say it hurts when you get slapped in the face later.]

The incident alarmed Lord Duan who was guarding the military camp, and everyone had an uneasy look on their face.

"Xu Feng, what's going on?"

Lord Duan had just solved the sudden fire, and the news that Doctor Yang had wasted military pay had spread everywhere in the military camp.

After all, they have been friends for many years, and Lord Duan certainly doesn't believe that Yang Xufeng would do something inexplicable, so he wonders what the reason may be for this incident.

[Uncle, someone poisoned the food, and Master discovered it. The Ministry of Revenue and Prime Minister Lu are in cahoots with each other! ]

Lord Duan frowned slightly after hearing this, thinking how courageous he was.

However, as everyone watched more and more rats gathering here, no one dared to step forward.

It was not until Xiao Ruyu performed a magic trick that the mouse started to eat to its heart's content. Then the mouse felt extreme pain in its body and began to fall to the ground and twitch.

Suddenly, all the rats died. When they died right under everyone's eyes, those who had originally been skeptical were unable to utter a word.

Things are becoming more and more mysterious.

Many mice died right before their eyes. Everyone retreated one after another and started to panic.

"These rice grains are poisonous."

Doctor Yang's eyes darkened slightly, and he made a direct conclusion on the matter, which made everyone's heart tremble. This was rice sent by the Ministry of Revenue from the national treasury. If there was a problem, it could only be that something went wrong in the middle.

"My Lord, someone wants to poison rats. Guess who they want to kill. You are so smart, can you guess it?"

Lord Duan's face changed slightly. He had seen the struggles and conspiracies in the court, but he had never thought that someone would use the lives of thousands of people to exchange for his own future.

[Uncle, we cannot forgive bad people, we must arrest them all! ]

Lord Duan had a gloomy face and gave instructions to the people around him.

"Come here, report this to the Ministry of Justice and protect this place. No one is allowed to destroy the scene without the permission of this Lord."

"Yes, sir."

Everyone acted quickly, blocked off the place, and ordered their soldiers to guard it.

No mercy should be shown to anyone who disobeys orders.

Tonight, the court's assistant minister of justice was completely unable to sleep. Just as he fell asleep, he heard a loud knock on the door. It was said that someone had poisoned the military pay.

Wang Cheng, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice, did not dare to delay. He quickly put on his clothes and rushed to the site overnight. He did see evidence that the rice had been poisoned.

People are in panic now, and everyone has a look of panic on their face.

That night, Lord Duan and the Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice jointly investigated the matter. After numerous rounds of selection, they finally set their sights on Lu Zongyuan.

The assistant minister of the Ministry of Justice was a little panicked. He was very surprised that he had got the chance to do such a big thing, so he reported the matter to the emperor overnight.

When Lu Zongyuan went to court the next day, he wanted to inquire about the news in the court. However, as soon as he got up from the Minister's Mansion, a group of officers and soldiers broke into his mansion and then took him to the Tianlao.

There were obviously secret guards guarding his house, but it was a bit puzzling that this group of soldiers captured him without any effort.

When Emperor Shangwen learned what happened last night, he flew into a rage during court session and spoke coldly to everyone.

"The military pay was poisoned. This is a serious matter. Lu Zongyuan is responsible for this matter. We cannot let it go lightly."

Everyone was trembling with fear, and they knew in their hearts that Emperor Shangwen wanted to severely punish Lu Zongyuan.

The Lu family has enjoyed prosperity for many years, but it seems that their wealth and glory will come to an end now.

"Your Majesty, this matter is very complicated and complex. Zong Yuan would never do such a wrong thing. Please understand your Majesty."

Emperor Shangwen sneered and didn't give him a chance to refute.

"Could it be that I am slandering you? It seems that the Prime Minister has become confused. I will continue to review this matter. I know better than anyone whether there is any injustice or not."

Prime Minister Lu's intention to help was gone now. Emperor Shangwen came prepared, and it seemed that he was careless.

"I dare not, but I need evidence for everything, and I just don't want the emperor to be criticized."

This statement was very ambiguous, and Emperor Shangwen did not punish him, but just spoke in a deep voice.

"I will make my own decision on this matter. Prime Minister, please take good care of your two children. The matter of Concubine Li is not over yet, and the eldest son is in trouble again. Is it because of the Prime Minister's poor parenting?"

The corners of Prime Minister Lu's mouth twitched, and he didn't dare to say a word. Forget it, as long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood.

"I understand, Your Majesty, please be at ease."

Seeing that Prime Minister Lu remained silent, Emperor Shangwen no longer had any reservations and directly sent people to investigate the truth.

Prime Minister Lu could not cause any trouble for the time being. It was the first time that Emperor Shangwen saw Prime Minister Lu being governed obediently, and he was in a very good mood.

As for the refugees having no porridge or rice to eat, they announced this to everyone in the court.

In less than half a day, the rice and grain were prepared.

After finishing his government affairs, Emperor Shangwen felt exhausted and wanted to see the little princess as soon as possible, so he went to Fengyi Palace.

As he stepped into Fengyi Palace, Emperor Shangwen felt very comfortable both physically and mentally.

Madam Cui bowed respectfully and said, "This servant greets His Majesty."
