Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1123 This is weird

The guards were still searching outside the house, not letting go of any clues.

Lu Mingyong found the right opportunity to open the secret room door, picked up the mysterious man and threw him out.

Outside the house, the Jinwu guards saluted in unison: "Meet the Duke of Yue."

Lu Mingyong said coldly: "Why are you so careless and don't even look at Liang Shang?"

A guard argued: "Sir, we have all searched and found no trace of the assassin."

Lu Mingyong hummed: "Then what is this? This person was hiding on the beam just now. If I hadn't heard the noise and came here, the bad guy would have slipped away under your noses!"

Jin Wuwei said cautiously: "Sir, the person we were chasing just now seems to be a woman..."

Lu Mingyong sneered: "It seems? You are not sure yourself, how dare you question me? You want to say that I arrested the wrong person, right?"

Jin Wuwei said quickly: "I don't dare!"

Lu Mingyong's sharp eyes glanced at everyone and said: "I don't know if the criminal has any accomplices, but everyone returned to their posts and stepped up patrols, not letting go of any suspicious places!"

All the Jinwu guards said in unison: "Yes!"

After everyone dispersed, Lu Mingyong carried the mysterious man directly to his duty station in the palace.

Seeing that the guards had dispersed, Lan Lingling quietly came out of the secret room, then quickly hurried out of the palace via the route she often took in and out of the imperial city.

During this period, I was almost discovered by the guards several times. The whole process was frightening, but fortunately I was not in danger.

By the time she left the palace, it was almost five o'clock.

The carriages and horses of the courtiers arrived at the palace gate one after another.

Lan Lingling looked around and finally saw the carriage from Taishu's Mansion approaching slowly.

She didn't care much and directly stopped the carriage, then pushed Ah Liu away and quickly got into the carriage.

"Your Highness, save Ace!"

Changsun Tao narrowed his eyes: "What's going on?"

Lan Lingling said anxiously: "Tonight I went into the palace to look for Ace, and I bumped into a mysterious man who looked like King Wu. When I came back, I saw him sneaking towards Chengming Palace, so I followed him all the way."

"He wandered around outside Chengming Hall for a few times, and then left. I went to where he stopped, but I saw the poison under the bricks."

"I was about to remove the poison for A Ce, but the mysterious man suddenly came out and led the guards to hunt me down. Fortunately, the Duke of Yue rescued me, otherwise I would have been handed over to the guards just now."

"By the way, that man has been captured by the Duke of Yue. It is estimated that the Justice of Yue is trying him now."

Changsun Tao pondered for a moment and asked, "What kind of poison is that?"

Lan Lingling said: "It's not a high-level poison, but it is very cunning and cruel. When the poison grows up, it will suck the blood of people nearby. It especially loves the blood of young men..."

"The mouth of the poisonous insect is poisonous. People who are sucked by it will have symptoms of weak wind at first. They will often feel dizzy, and their complexion and corners of their lips will appear unhealthy and pale."

"What follows is restlessness, insomnia, and dreams. I can't eat well, can't sleep well, and can't do anything right, until I slowly become exhausted."

"The most frightening thing is that the imperial doctors can't find the problem at all, and they can't do anything about it. Ordinary medicines don't work at all. They can only watch the people who have been poisoned get worse and worse."

"Ace often handles state affairs in Chengming Hall. Except for the patrolling guards, he is the only man in the entire Chengming Hall. It seems that someone wants to kill him." Compared with Lan Lingling's panic, Changsun Tao was calmer. He asked: "Did you watch that man leave with your own eyes?"

Lan Lingling nodded: "I will check after I confirm that he has left."

Changsun Tao asked again: "But when you went to check, he suddenly appeared and attracted the attention of the guards? Led the guards to pursue you?"

Lan Lingling nodded again: "Is there anything strange about this?"

Changsun Tao said: "It's very strange. If you are caught by the guards, the poison will not be dealt with. In this way, the poison will be discovered."

"But he doesn't seem to be afraid of the poison being discovered. Either he didn't inject the poison, or his purpose is not His Majesty, but you."

Lan Lingling opened her eyes wide: "Me? Am I worthy of his efforts to frame me?"

Changsun Tao said: "The matter is not clear yet, so we can only make this guess. If you are caught tonight, you will most likely be responsible for the poison."

Lan Lingling was very angry: "I know this, so I ran away desperately to prevent myself from being caught. Those old men in the court didn't like me. If I were charged with this crime, I would be dead." !”

Changsun Tao thought for a moment and said, "Is it only you who can cure that poison? Or can anyone do it, as long as they use the right method?"

Lan Lingling said: "Only people who are good at voodoo can solve it. Xiao Baili has been practicing voodoo recently. If it is him, I think there is no problem."

Changsun Tao said: "It is not appropriate for you to appear in the palace, lest you be recognized by others, which will embarrass His Majesty."

"First go to Mr. Baili and tell him how to cure the poison, and ask him to bring the concubine's token into the palace to find me. I will ask him to cure the poison. Don't worry. .”

Lan Lingling nodded solemnly, opened the curtain, pushed Ah Liu away again, and then quickly ran towards the uncle's house.

Ah Liu rolled his eyes: "I don't know whether Miss Lingling is really stupid or fake. The carriage is empty. After the master gets off the carriage, wouldn't it be faster for her to take the carriage back home?"

Changsun Tao said: "Then didn't you remind me earlier?"

Ah Liu shrugged: "Who asked her to push me!"

Changsun Tao glanced at Ah Liu indifferently, opened the curtain and got out of the carriage, and followed the flow of people into the palace to attend the court meeting.

The five drums are in full swing, the martial arts in the east and the martial arts in the west are in full swing.

Emperor Yuanwu yawned, walked out of the back hall, and steeled himself to go to court.

There haven't been any major events recently. The unusual movements in Xirong and the prisoners in Guiyan City are all commonplace issues.

The minister in charge of the matter reported it, and Emperor Yuanwu responded with a few words, and the matter was revealed.

Another minister reported on the situation of spring plowing. Emperor Yuanwu told his ministers to treat it with caution, and the matter was revealed again.

Finally, the Minister of Industry proposed that summer was approaching and local water conservancy projects also needed to be constructed. The ministers discussed the matter for a long time, but the Minister of Revenue ended the discussion by saying, "The treasury is empty."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "Feng Xiang is ill and has been unable to go to court in recent days. The Ministry of Public Affairs will first draft a charter and send it to Feng Xiang to read. If there are no problems, we will discuss it with the Ministry of Household Affairs after Feng Xiang recovers. , and then decide whether to implement it and how to implement it.”

The ministers continued to discuss for nearly half an hour before the court meeting came to an end.

Seeing that Lu Mingyong and Mr. Feng were not there, Emperor Yuanwu left Changsun Tao behind to understand the situation: "Uncle, I will pay you a visit to Chengming Hall after the dynasty is over."

After the court meeting ended, all the ministers went to their duty stations to handle their official duties, while Changsun Tao came to Chengming Hall.
