Chapter 291 A fourth-rank official is here to command me, a first-rank official?
When Xiaoyue went out again, most of the things outside had been dealt with, and Qian Yong had already arranged everything.
After watching Zhao Le being taken away, he never showed up again. He was imprisoned because of his evil words.
The people gathered in front of the government office and began to take the herbal medicine packages from Wen Xu.
"The plague is not a plague, but a man-made poisoning. Therefore, if you find any suspicious people, please report them actively. We must catch the mastermind behind the scenes and bring him to justice and give you an explanation!" Wen Xu said as he distributed the herbs.
"So, these young ladies were poisoned, and then forced to hang themselves? This time, they targeted young ladies from several big families. What about next time? What about the next time? Is there any pattern?" "That
's right. The plague is targeting us ordinary people. It's either the elderly or the children. It's said that they want to kill all the burden. But now that you, the imperial physician, have cured our plague, will they have more brutal methods next?"
"You are not good enough? What brutal methods can you think of? Anyway, they just want to cause chaos in the world. You just keep calm and believe in my father, and everything will be fine." Xiao Yuheng was originally hot-tempered, and he was young. Hearing what the people said, he couldn't hold back.
"Heng'er!" Xiao Yue walked out of the house and called softly.
"Yu'er!" Ci Xin came over, hugged little Xi'er, and asked Xiao Yue: "What's wrong? Qian Yong seems to be in high spirits!"
"Hehehe, Her Royal Highness the Princess has promised me an important position. From now on, our Qian family will also be an official family!" Qian Yong came over, his face full of joy.
Ci Xin looked at Xiao Yue, he was a little skeptical that this was the credit of baby Ruoxi.
After all, Xiao Yue's temper was more irritable, and it seemed that facing such things, it would not be so easy for her to compromise with others.
"It's mother who is smart, Xiao Xin, if you look at mother with this kind of eyes again, be careful that mother will beat you!"
Xiao Yue heard what baby Ruoxi said.
However, Ci Xin was staring at her, so she walked to Wen Xu calmly and said, "Wen Xu, what are the results of the autopsy?"
"Princess, we are waiting for you to come and make it public!" Wen Xu said, and asked the guards he brought with him to start distributing medicinal materials. He walked to the side with Xiao Yue, took the recorded case materials, and began to speak loudly: "Although poison was found in the bodies of several ladies, judging from their consistent behavior and reactions when they were on the verge of death, they were controlled by someone!"
"It's still the poison from the Western Regions, Xiyu Yizhichun. This poison has been under control in the Western Regions a hundred years ago. Thirty years ago, there were cases of private planting in the Western Regions, and it played an important role in the royal family's fight for the throne. Therefore, it was repeatedly banned by the Xiyue royal family. However, there are still people who planted it privately, and
the news even reached our Great Wei!" "Oh my God, so, did the princes of our Great Wei fight for the throne because of this?"
"That can't be true. Three years ago, those kind-hearted princes showed no signs of poisoning. Moreover, they had been conspiring for a long time. I heard that the fifth prince spent ten years pretending to be paralyzed, crazy and stupid. In fact, he was the most vicious one."
"But, in the end he benefited..."
'How outrageous! "With a scolding, Xiao Yuheng came to the crowd and frowned, saying, "You are criticizing the royal family and talking nonsense. Do you all want to cut off your tongue?"
"Well, second cousin is great. That's how it should be. Otherwise, these people don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is."
Baby Ruoxi retracted her little hand. If her cousin hadn't appeared, she would have twisted and turned the internal organs of those people and made them feel painful.
"But, Doctor Wen, how are you sure that these young ladies were poisoned? They were all blocking the imperial teacher on the street yesterday. What if someone wanted to persecute them?" someone asked.
"If they want to die, why don't they do it in the street? Like Miss Qian, she dared to give the imperial teacher a handkerchief in the street, so why don't they even dare to roll in the street?" Xiao Yue asked.
"But, we haven't even seen Yizhichun from the Western Regions, so how can we be sure there is none around us? Your Highness the Princess, you have to think about the safety of the common people!"
"Yes, yes, Your Highness the Princess, Your Highness Prince Heng, we have had this plague ever since the stone dragon emerged from the water. Since your masters said that someone poisoned it, then someone must have poisoned it. The question is, who was the person who poisoned it? If there was no one, then wouldn't it still be a plague?"
The people came up one after another, their faces filled with fear, but their eyes were also filled with despair.
"It is said that there are too many strange things, and it must be the anger of heaven. Princess, no matter whether it is done by someone with ulterior motives or not, it will always be a pain in the heart of the common people if it is not solved!"
"Princess, Prince Heng, Imperial Master, and several masters, please save us!"
Led by some people, the people knelt down and kowtowed, begging.
"Alas, these seemingly weak people are quite good at forcing people!" Baby Ruoxi felt sorry for her mother and second cousin.
"These people are not good people. They know that someone is making trouble in Yunzhou, but they don't respond actively, but still force them like this. I guess they are also dissatisfied with the court!"
"Zhang Baiyun has not made any political achievements in the past few years. He just made all the accounts watertight so that the court could not find him or control him." Ci Xin stood beside Xiao Yue and said.
"Then let's start with Zhang Baiyun!" Xiaoyue said.
"Okay!" Cixin agreed to thoroughly investigate Zhang Baiyun.
"The deaths of the young ladies were almost a quarter of an hour apart, so last night, that person must have killed Miss Zhao at the Zhao family first, and then went to the Qian family. He must have left clues in such a hasty move. Imperial Master, I think it would be better for you to check it yourself!" Wenxu turned to Cixin and said.
"Hey, a fourth-rank official is here to command me, a first-rank official?" Cixin said.
"You have no manners!" Wen Xu smiled and said, "Master Imperial Master, being below one and above ten thousand people cannot be proved by rank!"
"Tsk, although I feel that you are scolding me, but... it's not unpleasant to say. Forget it, I will go there myself. Oh, Yue'er, let's go together!" Ci Xin said, holding little Xi'er and left.
"Is the Imperial Master going to take the little princess to investigate the case?"
"I heard that the little princess investigated the case in Su County. It seems that Master Jing'en was there at that time!"
While the people were discussing, baby Ruoxi had been carried away. She lay on Ci Xin's shoulder and communicated with Ci Xin: "Hey, do you know how to use the truth talisman? Prepare some truth talismans and you can expose their true colors!"
