Chapter 359 Oh? Haven't you learned your lesson yet?
"You teach others to be polite, but you ask questions without answering them. Is this your way of being polite?"
Yang Lie spoke more harshly with a bad look, interrupting the eye contact between Ye Wuque and Xiao Jinxuan.
In order to conceal their identities, both of them disguised themselves. Although they felt that there was something wrong with the other party, they still looked away.
Glancing at him nonchalantly, Ye Wuque said calmly, "Marquis of Changxing, right? You believed everything she said. You were played around so easily by others. She even let someone like you take charge of an army. Is Daye going to be destroyed?"
"How dare you! The Marquis is the emperor's favorite. If you slander the Marquis, you are slandering the emperor!" Zhao Yi was afraid that he would say something, so he immediately accused him of treason.
Ye Wuque narrowed his eyes dangerously, "Oh? You haven't learned your lesson yet? It seems that I didn't teach you deeply enough just now."
Zhao Yi shuddered subconsciously, but when he realized that Yang Lie and the others were present, he immediately became confident, "Your Excellency not only hurt people at will, but now you are also helping the tyrant to commit atrocities. Are you unwilling to let your wife come out and give everyone an explanation?"
The corners of his mouth curled up in a half-smile, but there was no smile in Ye Wuque's eyes. He said coldly, "If I am, what then?"
“Shua——”
When the guards in the marquis's mansion heard this, they immediately drew their weapons.
The atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this moment, a clear and loud voice came from far away in the courtyard -
"Master Zhao Yi, I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen such a shameless person. My wife wanted you to get medicine to save someone, but you blocked her. You spent your own private money to buy medicine to save someone, but you made her faint. After she fainted, you came to ask for the prescription to save someone, and we gave it to her without hesitation. But when something went wrong, you put all the blame on my wife?"
"There's something wrong with that prescription. How come my wife is getting better? I also prescribed the medicine for my wife according to that prescription, so why didn't her condition get worse?"
Mei'er's mouth is like spicy oil, very irritating.
The person she helped out was not someone else, but Song Yuqiu.
At this moment, the rash on her body has completely faded, and she has obviously improved.
Zhao Yi saw this and immediately shouted, "Madam, why did you frame me? There is a way to save people, why did you let Mei'er give me a fake prescription? So many people, with their families, are at stake. Even if you are dissatisfied with me, you can't joke with their lives and property!"
At this point, she still wanted to divert the blame to personal grudges, saying that it was Song Yuqiu seeking revenge in order to reduce her own guilt.
Yang Lie frowned when he heard this, "Song Yuqiu you..."
"Shut up!" Song Yuqiu interrupted him rudely.
Then she shifted her gaze to Zhao Yi, curled her lips and sneered, "I, Song Yuqiu, have studied medicine since I was a child. I know that doctors have a kind heart, and I would not bother to use poison prescriptions to harm people."
Even this time, the medicine she gave would not harm anyone's body.
"I just want to ask you, Master Zhao, did you really make the plague-repelling soup according to my prescription?"
His eyes were a little dazed, Zhao Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally!"
Wen Yan, who was standing by, heard this and looked at her suspiciously, asking, "Where did you buy Bai Lei from?"
All the Bai Lei medicinal herbs in Nanyang and its surrounding areas are now in the hands of several major medicinal herb dealers.
The herbal medicine merchants have already crushed and mixed all the herbs, so if you want to buy, you have to buy all of them.
Also, Song Yuqiu promised the herbal medicine merchants a high price in order to get them to collect the herbs as quickly as possible, and they simply could not gather so much cash to buy them in a short period of time.
When he came back, he heard that Song Yuqiu had not woken up yet, but a group of infected people had already taken the medicine, so he felt something was wrong.
Now seeing Zhao Yi hesitating, he felt even more confused.
"I..." Zhao Yi couldn't say anything.
Mei snorted coldly, "Yeah, why can't you tell me, Lord Zhao? When I went to the herbal medicine shop to get medicine to save my wife, they said you didn't buy any of their medicine. So where did you get the herbs in such a short time?"
It is very easy to investigate this matter.
Yang Lie saw Zhao Yi's panicked expression and realized that something was wrong, so he immediately called over a few soldiers who knew the situation.
Unexpectedly, there was a smart one among the soldiers who knew the situation and directly brought the doctor that Zhao Yi had invited.
Seeing the situation, the doctor didn't need to ask any more questions. He waved his hands in fear and said, "It wasn't me who wanted to replace Bai Lei with Cao Cao. It was Master Zhao who told me to do this!"
Well, there’s no need to even go through the review process, things instantly become clear.
Song Yuqiu smiled coldly when he heard this. "Hundreds of herbs and medicines complement and counteract each other. A prescription needs to be deduced and tested countless times before it can be used. Although the medicinal properties of the amaranth and the white thunder are almost the same, they will conflict with other medicines in the prescription. You changed the prescription without authorization and almost killed so many people, but in the end you let me take the blame! What, Lord Zhao is used to framing me on weekdays, so you want to put all the blame on me?"
It was obviously the first time Yang Lie heard this. He looked at Zhao Yi with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Are what they said true?"
"My Lord, I was just confused for a moment... Please forgive me this time, considering that I have already suffered retribution and for my father's sake..."
Seeing that the evidence was conclusive, Zhao Yi could only start playing the emotional card. Not only did he reveal his weak and injured attitude, he even brought up the fact that his father had saved Yang Lie's life.
Yang Lie's eyes flickered slightly, and he was obviously hesitant.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan, who originally did not want to intervene in the matter, also frowned, "If you hesitate to make decisions, you will suffer the consequences. How can you manage the army if rewards and punishments are unclear?"
Normally Yang Lie seems to be quite clear-headed, so why is he so confused about a woman?
After all, Yang Lie and Zhao Yibi had grown up together, and his father had taken care of him time and again, and even Butler Zhao died saving him.
He truly treated Zhao Yi as his own sister.
But the matter has gotten to such a point that so many lives have been lost. If there is no punishment, how can the rules be upheld?
Seeing Yang Lie start to waver again because of someone else's words, Zhao Yi was anxious and reprimanded Xiao Jinxuan, "When does the Marquis make the decision? Why do you need to interfere?"
She thought that the person following Yang Lie was just an ordinary general in the military camp.
Xiao Jinxuan raised his eyes and glanced at her calmly, with a domineering aura, like a sword sharp out of nowhere, shining with cold light.
Without even saying a word, it can send chills down one's spine.
The feeling this man gave her was no worse than the one who just crippled her legs and tendons!
Yang Lie was furious and anxious when he saw this. "How can we tolerate your talking when we are talking? It's really because I have been too tolerant of you and made you too ignorant!"
"In consideration of your father's kindness to me, I will spare your life. However, from today on, all your official positions and rights in the mansion will be revoked. In the future, you are not allowed to set foot in the mansion without my permission!"
For Zhao Yi, taking back these identities would be more painful than killing her.
She held the sword and looked at Song Yuqiu with disdain, thinking that this powerless lady from the royal family had to rely on herself to protect her family and country in order to live a stable life.
But if you strip away all that, she's just a housekeeper's daughter, a slave, an inferior person.
How could she tolerate that Song Yuqiu, the person she despised the most, was still so high and mighty while she could only look up to him?
She crawled over using her hands and feet, hugging Yang Lie's legs, "My Lord, please keep my position for the sake of my hard work even though I have no merits! During the time you were away, I patrolled the city every day, protected the people, and even stayed awake for a whole day and night to protect Yu Ci's jade ruyi. My loyalty is evident to all!"
As he was speaking with great emotion, a soldier came rushing to report:
"My Lord, the Yu Ci Yu Ruyi that was stored in Huwei Hall has disappeared!"
The moment Zhao Yi heard the news, he was stunned and even forgot to cry.
Song Yuqiu glanced in the direction of Ye Wuque and thought that it seemed that Thirteen had succeeded.
She smiled slightly, and happily added insult to injury, "It can be seen that Lord Zhao has done all the hard work and has no credit at all!"
