Chapter 49
Qing'er arrived in Yongfeng at dusk on the first day of the New Year. Yang Hao placed his new home in a two-enter courtyard in Hengduan Lane, north of the city. The courtyard was originally a real estate purchased by Mengchang for a singer whom he personally collected. √W wW.
81zW.
After the early morning accident in CoM, the singer rolled up the silk soft and fled with the child servant without a trace.
The newly appointed governor of Yongfeng, Hu Qinglian, was still on the way to Yongfeng in Chang'an. Yang Hao temporarily took charge of Yongfeng's government affairs as the chief minister. He had never been alone and was busy for a while. He did not return to his home in Hengduanxiang late at night.
The old man guarding the gate was transferred by Zhang Cheng from the original patrol camp. His surname was Guan, and he was called Master Guan. He was a little inflexible when he was old, but he was loyal and diligent. Seeing Yang Hao coming back in the snow and snow, he said, "Mrs. I'm ready to wake up the lord."
Yang Hao felt a little sad when he heard that Qing'er had not yet slept, so he quickly took off his straw raincoat and walked in. Qing'er was sitting in the hall, and when he heard the sound, he came out. Before Yang Hao could speak, she suddenly slapped Yang Hao. Yang Hao was slightly surprised and immediately returned her a warm and long kiss. Mr. Guan was startled by the strange behavior of the two. After a while, he came to his senses and hurriedly called a few guards to quietly withdraw from the inner courtyard.
Qing'er tried desperately to dodge Yang Hao's kiss, her eyes became panicked and confused, her hands were weakly guarding her chest, trying to separate a wall between the two. Yang Hao kissed her face and lips frantically, her defense was instantly broken, and the cold heart was melted instantly, her head became a little numb, and she let him be at a loss.
Yang Hao carried her on his shoulders and walked into the warm bedroom.
Yang Hao passionately expressed his admiration and attachment to Qing'er. He longed to be united with the woman under his body and never separated. Qing'er felt Yang Hao's passionate heart, and she opened her heart and no longer hid shyly. She opened her eyes and looked at the man whom she hated not long ago. It was so lucky that she actually got along with him. Qing'er stretched out her arms and wrapped her arms around Yang Hao's naked back, and smiled happily with tears in her eyes...
At dawn, Yang Hao fell asleep tiredly. Perhaps because of being too tired, he slept until noon and didn't wake up. Qing'er was panicked and she had not fallen asleep last night. At the early morning, she got up and left the bedroom. When she finished washing up and cooked breakfast, she found that he was cold and as angry as if she was running out of bed.
Qing'er, who was in a state of confusion, rushed out to hire a doctor, but when the cold wind blew in front of her, she suddenly woke up: The overall situation in Yongfeng is settled, and the people in the city are uneasy. If Yang Hao is seriously ill at this moment, it will inevitably cause panic and suspicion in the city. If there is another trouble, who will end it?
Qing'er took a few breaths of air conditioning and calmed down. After thinking about it, she asked Mr. Guan to invite Zhang Cheng and Cheng Keling over in the name of Yang Hao. After Qing'er arrived in Yongfeng, Zhang Cheng welcomed and settled her. This person should be a trustworthy person. Cheng Keling is the oldest team leader in the Hengsai Town Camp. Yang Hao once invited him to drink at home several times, which shows his trust in him.
When Cheng Keling learned that Yang Hao was unconscious, he immediately wanted to transfer 300 soldiers from the patrol camp into the house to guard the house. Zhang Cheng dissuaded: "It's not appropriate. Now that people's hearts are not stable, you must not be open-minded. You can choose twenty strong guards here, and the rest of the camp soldiers will patrol as usual, and you must not have any abnormal movements. In addition, you must report to the remaining masters in Fengzhou with a quick horse."
Zhang Cheng asked the guards to invite Qin Sihu, the most famous doctor in the city, to use a sedan chair. He lied to the outside world that Qing'er was ill and asked him to come to the mansion to treat him. Qin Sihu took Yang Hao's pulse and lowered his head and said nothing. Qing'er was panicked and his face changed for a moment. Zhang Cheng comforted: "Mr. Qin is known as the 'Sage Rejuvenation', and lord will never be a problem." Qin Sihu smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Qin is not sick, he is poisoned by tobacco."
After saying that, he asked someone to take a basin of clean water, and used chopsticks to pick up a piece of unburned spice from the incense burner and put it in the clean water. He stirred it hard, then took a silver needle and penetrated it into the water. The silver needle suddenly turned black.
Qing'er was suddenly shocked when she saw this and pointed at Zhang Cheng and said, "It's you? It's the poison you put!" Cheng Keling drew his sword and put it on Zhang Cheng's neck. Zhang Cheng smiled bitterly and said, "Even if someone poisons it, it shouldn't be me. I am now on the same boat. What's the benefit of the ship sinking?" He asked Qin Sihu: "What poison is this? How could it fall into the incense burner?" Qin Sihu was a little panicked and said repeatedly, "I only know it is a poison, but I don't know why it is in the incense burner." Qing'er was angry and funny when she heard his words: "Of course I don't do your business. You just talk about his origin."
Qin Sihu thought for a moment and said, "This medicine is called "Orphan Wang". It is a chronic poison that is easy to dissolve in water. It can be soaked in spices. When the spice is burned, it spreads with smoke. It is not a big deal for people to inhale a little. If there are too many toxins accumulated in the body over time, it will cause death."
Zhang Cheng shouted, "Bring the maid who burns incense here." The soldier replied, "Maid Tang Nu had already run away with her master yesterday." Qing'er said, "You don't have to look for it anymore. This incense was ordered by me." Everyone was shocked when they heard this. Qing'er covered her face and cried, "Last night, I saw a box of spices placed on the dressing table. It smelled very fragrant, so she took some for use... I didn't expect it to be poison..."
Cheng Keling said: "The poisoned person has sinister intentions and has nothing to do with his wife. But I don't understand. The wife smelled the fragrance and was fine, so why did the adults fall into a coma?" Zhang Cheng also said: "I also want to know the reason."
Qin Sihu smiled strangely, looked at Qing'er, and said, "Diseases and viruses are all spiritual, they are good at taking advantage of the situation... I believe that Yang Changshi has been busy with official business recently and overworked."
Qing'er's cheeks turned red, she bit her lip and said, "He returned late last night when handling official duties, and then went to the room with me on an empty stomach. I'm afraid he's tired. Since you know the reason, can you save him?"
Qin Sihu smiled and said, "It will be no more difficult to find the crux of the problem and save people."
Everyone was relieved when they heard this.
Cheng Keling praised: "The miracle doctor is a miracle doctor, and it is indeed well-known."
Qin Sihu prescribed a prescription and handed it to Qing'er, but said, "I'm sorry to be too talkative. Since someone is trying to harm the Changshi, the wife must be more careful." Qing'er heard the profound meaning of his words and bowed to her and said, "Thank you, Mr., for reminding me, I will be careful." He sent Qin Sihu away. Qing'er handed the prescription to Zhang Cheng and said, "Yongfeng, we are just a new arrival, please ask Brother Zhang to help get the medicine."
Zhang Cheng was overwhelmed by surprise when he heard this, and hurriedly took the prescription and said, "Madam, don't worry, I'll go to get the medicine myself." After that, he strode away. Cheng Keling asked Qing'er in confusion: "Qin Sihu's words make sense. Why did you hand over the prescription to him? What if..." Qing'er stopped him and said with certainty: "It's definitely not him who harmed Yang Lang."
Zhang Cheng took only half an hour to catch the medicine. Yang Hao woke up after taking only one dose. Seeing Qing'er's eyes, he smiled and comforted, "I'm just sleeping in a daze, don't worry." Qing'er said, "What does your life and death have to do with me? I just don't want to have a bad reputation of killing my husband." Yang Hao felt sweeter than eating honey after hearing this. He reached out to wipe the tears from Qing'er's eyes, and was about to comfort her softly. Suddenly, a burst of rapid footsteps came from outside the door. Yang Hao closed his eyes and lay down, whispered: "Just say I wasn't awake."
The visitor was Zhang Cheng. When he entered the door, he asked Yang Hao urgently if he had woken up. Qing'er didn't want to lie for Yang Hao, and she didn't want to expose him, so she pretended not to hear him. Zhang Cheng glanced at Yang Hao, his face changed and turned around and left.
Qing'er pushed Yang Hao and said with certainty: "You don't have to doubt him, he is not the culprit of you."
Yang Hao patted Qing'er's hand and said, "But he knows who the real murderer is."
Qing'er was shocked: "Are you saying he is the murderer's accomplice?"
Yang Hao sighed without answering. He looked at the gray sky outside the window and said worriedly: "It seems that it will snow. I heard that the middle of the forest in the south of Yinshan Mountain has encountered a severe drought this autumn. Every family has no grass, and it has heavy snow in winter. Many cattle and sheep are frozen to death. This spring is afraid that wars will be everywhere again."
Just then, Mr. Guan led a messenger in and presented a secret letter.
After Yang Hao finished reading the letter, his face was full of sorrow. The messenger said, "Please don't give me instructions, how can I reply to my general?" Yang Hao said, "Please tell your general, Yang will do everything." After beating the messenger, Yang Hao felt unhappy. The letter was written by Meng Bochang. Although Meng Bochang seized Fengzhou, the process was not smooth. On the first night of the first day, he led the guards of the governor's palace to rush into Meng Chu's bedroom to hold Meng Chu's sleeping soundly, but Meng Chu's concubine disappeared without a trace with the military talisman.
Without military talismans, Tiande left and right armies could not be mobilized, and the entire plan might fail. In a critical moment, Meng Bochang made a quick decision and took Han Sui to arrest Zhu Si, the general of the Right Army commander, and the general of the Left Army commander, and forced the two to hand over the military power.
Meng Bochang's journey went very smoothly. When he rushed into Zhu Si's mansion, Zhu Si was playing cards with his family. Meng Bochang said that Meng Chu was in a coma after being sick and unconscious, and wanted Zhu Si to immediately seize the five gates in the city and send troops to surround the left army camp. Zhu Si knew that there was a fraud, but was afraid of the swords and guns in Meng Bochang's hand, so he had to hand over the military power obediently.
Han Sui's journey was not going well. Wu Sijiao was originally an Arab. Although he had moved to Central China for many years, he still retained the old customs. It was not until the Spring Festival. On New Year's Eve, he still went to inspect the camp as usual. Han Sui was stunned. Wu Sijiao heard that his family was taken by Han Sui, and he was immediately angry and led 300 personal soldiers to kill him. Han Sui had only more than 100 people in his hands, but he was suddenly attacked and was defeated.
Don’t think about his mistakes and regaining his family back to the camp, he sent people to the governor’s mansion to spy on the news. After learning that Meng Chu had been imprisoned by the rebels and that the five gates of Fengzhou had fallen into the hands of the rebels, he immediately led his army to attack the governor’s mansion in the name of suppressing the rebellion. The Tiande Left Army was a strong brigade in the north, and the three thousand people stationed in the city were even elite in the army. The Right Army had only a thousand people in the city, and he changed his generals in the battle, and his morale was sluggish. The governor’s mansion was soon captured by the left army. Meng Bochang and Han Sui took Meng Chu’s family to flee to the west gate in a hurry.
On the way to escape, Meng Chu suddenly died. Han Sui had a plan. He inserted a carved feather arrow on Meng Chu's back, saying that he had shot Meng Chu. Tiande left and right armies were both direct descendants brought by Meng Chu. The officers above the army squadron were related to Meng Chu. When they heard that Wu Siguo killed Meng Chu, the morale of the left army suddenly fell. Meng Bochang took the opportunity to counterattack, the left army disintegrated, and the right army turned defeated. Wu Siguo only led hundreds of confidants to break through the north gate and fled north.
At the beginning, Zeng Chongyang promised Meng Bochang to seize the three cities of Fengzhou and sent Meng Chu's tribe back to his hometown. Meng Chu died suddenly in the army. Meng Bochang suspected that someone was deliberately plotting murder and asked Zeng Chongyang to order a thorough investigation. In order to appease Meng Bochang and the soldiers of the two armies, Zeng Chongyang buried Meng Chu Fengguang. However, he was not very active in thoroughly investigating the cause of Meng Chu's death. Meng Bochang was very dissatisfied with this.
After Han Sui led his army to Feng'an, he gathered 3,000 remaining troops of the Left Army, and surrounded Fengzhou City in the name of Meng Chu's revenge. At this time, rumors spread in the city, saying that Han Sui was the culprit of killing Meng Chu, and the commander behind the scenes was Zeng Chongyang, the new Tiande Army, who stayed at the city. The right soldiers were at the city, and the hearts of the right soldiers were disintegrated, and Meng Chu's old subordinates were even more ready to move. Zeng Chongyang repeatedly decided to abandon the city and move to Feng'an.
Before leaving Fengzhou, Zeng Chongyang left Meng Bochang and formed his own guard. All officers above the gang leader were selected by him and appointed his confidant Cao Feng as the commander of the guard.
It is inevitable that parting ways. Meng Bochang asked Yang Hao to do one thing in a secret letter: secretly execute Lu Benzhong and take over the Tiande Right Army stationed in Yongfeng.
