Chapter 140: Something is wrong



After receiving the imperial edict, Lu Yunqi certainly would not go to the north in person. He watched a team of Jinyiwei following the eunuch who delivered the edict and the inspector holding the imperial sword and rushing out of the capital.

Pedestrians inside and outside the city gate hurriedly made way.

As this group of people passed by, another group of people came rushing in from outside.

There have been many post horses delivering news recently. After all, something happened in the north, and passers-by who were standing aside were talking in low voices.

"I hope they won't attack the capital again like they did last time." An elderly person was worried.

But more people sneered.

"How could that be? The capital is no longer in Henan."

"Besides, there was no Duke Cheng back then."

"With Duke Cheng here, there will be absolutely no problem."

"In fact, it was only attacked for one day, and Duke Cheng recaptured it the next day."

"Besides, we can't blame Duke Cheng. He is not stationed in Hejian Prefecture. If anyone should be blamed, it should be the officials of Hejian Prefecture."

Listening to the discussions of passers-by on the street, Baihu Jiang snorted.

"It was conquered in one day," he said. "He was not guarding Hejian Prefecture, but the entire northern land followed his lead. If something went wrong, they would not blame him, right?"

"These people are not necessarily talking for him," Lu Yunqi said, "for their own comfort."

Yes, is it that Duke Cheng is in trouble and the gold thieves are coming to attack, and everyone is scared and worried?

Baihu Jiang smiled.

"The Prince of Chengguo has indeed gone to the Simajian obediently." he said.

"Be good?" Lu Yunqi said.

Zhu Zan has never had any connection with the word "obedient" in his life, so how can we expect him to be obedient?

Who knows what he might be thinking in private.

Captain Jiang coughed lightly.

"I will keep a close eye on him and will not let him get away," he said sternly.

"Our most important task now is to keep an eye on him." Lu Yunqi said, "We don't need to worry about Duke Cheng's northern territory."

The entire court is now keeping an eye on Duke Cheng. Be it right or wrong, they have their own thoughts.

As for Zhu Zan, on the contrary, the emperor would definitely not allow him to return to the north at this time, otherwise he would have no control over Duke Cheng.

Captain Jiang's eyes turned and he answered yes again.

Another cavalryman came on the official road outside the capital. When Captain Jiang saw this one, his eyes lit up.

"It's Lao Jin's people from Shanxi." He said, and the man walked out of the city gate tower.

The people near the city gate only then noticed the Jinyi Guards were here, and then saw Lu Yunqi hiding in the darkness inside the gate, and they immediately fell silent and scattered.

The cavalryman had already dismounted and walked quickly forward, kneeling on one knee and holding up a letter to Lu Yunqi.

Because he had too many enemies, Lu Yunqi acted very carefully. He would easily refuse anything that others handed to him, in order to avoid being poisoned or injured.

Captain Jiang was about to take the letter and open it as usual, but Lu Yunqi had already taken it.

Jin Shiba is the most trusted person, there is no problem with that.

Captain Jiang withdrew his hand.

"Are they still in Yangcheng?" he asked.

Lu Yunqi had already glanced over the letter.

"We are almost at the border of Hebei West Road now," he said.

The speed is really fast, Jiang Baihu smiled.

"I hope Miss Jun will succeed soon," he said.

In this way, Jin Shiba can also capture the person and report to his superiors. In fact, I don't quite understand Lu Yunqi's idea. Why should he wait until Miss Jun solves the smallpox vaccine issue before taking action?

Are you worried that Miss Jun's reputation will be damaged because of the wrong smallpox vaccine?

The person is about to be arrested and disappear from the public eye, so why bother about his reputation? Besides, when did Lu Yunqi ever care about Miss Jun's reputation?

He had asked this question at that time, and Lu Yunqi did not say that he was worried about Miss Jun's reputation, but only said three words.

inconvenient.

What was inconvenient? He couldn't figure it out.

When Princess Jiuli heard about it, she understood a little.

She asked Lu Yunqi directly what he was going to do to Miss Jun, and Lu Yunqi answered very straightforwardly: arrest her.

"You also know that vaccination has such a great merit. It is not convenient to catch her. She will not be caught so easily by you. You can do whatever you want." Princess Jiuli said.

"Not really." Lu Yunqi said, "It has nothing to do with her achievements. It's just that she is still useful. If the smallpox vaccine problem is not solved, it will affect her own interests. Many people will not quit. Once the smallpox vaccine problem is solved, no one will need her, and there will be no more trouble."

He said this with a slight smile.

"Of course, I'm not afraid of trouble, but in this kind of situation, it's more pleasant to have less trouble and more peace."

Princess Jiuli looked at him and sighed.

"Lord Lu, not everyone in this world is as heartless and ungrateful as you." She said, "What she did will not be forgotten just like that, and not everyone is afraid of you."

Lu Yunqi nodded.

"Really?" he said woodenly, "Then this world is pretty good."

"I knew there would be absolutely no problem with Miss Jun taking action."

When a heavy rain dissipated the sultry summer heat, Chen Qi also brought his mother to the capital, and with them came the news that Miss Jun was in Hebei West Road.

Old Doctor Feng spoke excitedly in Jiuling Hall.

Fang Jinxiu smiled at Dr. Feng, who had obviously lost weight and whose eyes were a little red from staying up all night.

"I didn't see it," she said.

Old Doctor Feng smiled awkwardly, and Chen Qi couldn't help but think of Fang Chengyu again.

"Jinxiu, your brother is really good at talking. He can make people happy." he said.

"Don't be so conceited. He's not trying to coax you." Fang Jinxiu glanced at him and said.

Chen Qi also felt embarrassed.

"What's going on? Is it a problem with the smallpox vaccine?" he asked hurriedly as he remembered something important.

Doctor Feng nodded.

"It's really a vaccine problem," he said.

Chen Qi's face was slightly tense. If it was really due to the smallpox vaccine, then...

"But this vaccine is fake," Doctor Feng continued.

Chen Qi raised his breath and stared at him.

"There were several doctors in Xiangzhou who valued the benefits of vaccination. Knowing the principle of smallpox vaccine, they secretly extracted smallpox vaccine from people who had been vaccinated, pretended to be government vaccination doctors, and deceived some people. As a result, the smallpox vaccine was not extracted carefully enough and was too toxic, which led to problems," said Fang Jinxiu.

Like Doctor Feng, Fang Jinxiu also knew the details, even two days earlier than Doctor Feng.

After hearing this, Chen Qi patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Doctor Feng, you scared me to death," he said.

Old Doctor Feng laughed, but also with a hint of sigh.

"In fact, our people also suspected that it was due to fake smallpox vaccine, but the people didn't believe it." He said, "It was not until Miss Jun came and told them that they believed it."

Chen Qi clapped his hands.

"No matter what, as long as the problem is solved," he said, and then looked at Fang Jinxiu, "Then Miss Jun, are you going to come directly to the capital? Or return to Yangcheng?"

Fang Jinxiu frowned slightly.

"No one knows her," she said. "I can't be sure."

Not sure? What does that mean? Don't know where to go?

After the heavy rain, the road was muddy, the moving convoy slowed down, and the shouting of people and neighing of horses seemed a bit busy and noisy.

Lei Zhonglian urged his horse to come to Miss Jun's car.

They had already left Xiangzhou and were heading deeper into the region along the Hebei West Road. The hot summer air had subsided and it was cool after the rain.

The car curtain was lifted, and Liu'er was leaning against the window, shaking a handful of wild flowers and humming a little tune, while Miss Jun was looking at the lush greenery outside with an indifferent expression, appearing comfortable and at ease.

It’s a pity that the current situation is not comfortable and free.

"The Jinyiwei people are following us again." Lei Zhonglian said in a low voice.
