Noble First Daughter-in-law

In a blink of an eye, it's the end of time.

There are still very few pedestrians passing by on the long street, and there are not many customers staying in front of the shops that dared to open an account. The hawkers and shop assistants are even weaker, making the whole Daxing City still fall into a powerless, more helpless silence. .

Until, a sound of footsteps broke the silence.

It was a group of imperial guards, filed out from the Daxing Palace, and headed south along the long street.

The orderly team and the heavy footsteps startled everyone on the street, and many people who had closed their doors opened their windows one after another, looking down cautiously, not knowing what was going to happen in the city, and waiting for the team to leave. Far away, the rest is the words of everyone's suspicion.

All these sounds mingled together and reached a window with a slit on the second floor of the inn.

Shen Wuzheng stood behind the window, quietly watching the leaving team with a pair of gentle and quiet eyes, and then heard the surprised and doubtful comments downstairs, a mist seemed to rise in his pupils, dispersing all his thoughts Cover up the dense, can't see the real heart.

It wasn't until he heard a long yawn from the room behind him that a real smile appeared in his eyes.

As soon as he turned around, he saw Pei Xingyuan sitting up on the bed and stretching greatly.

The bright light made him unable to open his eyes. He only saw the blurred figure of Shen Wuzheng by the window, and asked in a daze, "Why is it so noisy? Aren't you sleeping?"

Shen Wuzheng shook his head: "I can't sleep."

"Why can't I sleep? Didn't we all toss around until midnight last night?"

"I'm not as big-hearted as you. Get out of bed as soon as you wake up."

"I was injured, what is a big heart?"

Pei Xingyuan was not pleased with his ridicule, complained to himself, but obediently got out of bed, and after a while, the waiter in the shop brought hot water towels and green salt, helped them wash up, and then put the prepared , the food for lunch has already been delivered, although it is not very exquisite, but there are fish and meat, and the table is full.

Pei Xingyuan sat down and said with a satisfied smile: "That's right, I'm injured, and I'm about to make up for it."

Shen Wuzheng washed his hands and walked over to sit down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks and said: "Eat quickly."

While talking, he picked up food for him. Although Pei Xingyuan's hands still ached a little, he was still able to move freely for such small things as eating. He was seen holding the chopsticks with his bandaged hands, and eating the rice with big mouthfuls. , like a squirrel, Shen Wuzheng watched from the side, although he tried his best to keep a straight face, he couldn't help laughing.

As soon as the meal was finished, there was a sound of heavy footsteps outside.

The two of them were familiar with the sound of footsteps, and they turned their heads subconsciously. When they saw it, it was indeed Yu Wenye who pushed the door and walked in.

Seeing him, Pei Xingyuan immediately smiled and said: "Fengchen, you are back, have you eaten yet?"

Yu Wenye shook his head, walked in and closed the door behind his back.

Pei Xingyuan waved enthusiastically and said: "The food in this inn is good, and we didn't eat much. Let me add a pair of bowls and chopsticks for you."

Shen Wuzheng glanced at him reproachfully, then shook his head: "Can you ask something serious?"

Pei Xingyuan smiled again, and then said: "I think it will take a long time for him to go, I'm afraid he will be hungry. Then, you ask him—"

Yu Wenye came over, lifted his clothes and sat opposite to Shen Wuzheng, raised his head and looked at him, Shen Wuzheng then said: "I just saw a group of imperial guards leaving the palace and going south. What's the matter?"

Yu Wenye shook his head: "They were ordered to do things."

"Working? What are you doing?"

"Just after entering the palace, my elder brother reported a list to the imperial court, which is 320 patients who have been cured in Yanzuo Fang."

Pei Xingyuan opened his eyes wide: "They have all been cured so much?"

Yu Wenye nodded, and then said: "He specifically asked his father for orders to open the city gate at the Mingde Gate in the southern city, and the medical officers of the Imperial Medical Office will jointly consult with them, and after confirming that these people have recovered, let them go out of the city and go home."

When Shen Wuzheng heard this, his eyebrows frowned slightly.

Compared to his calmness, Pei Xingyuan exploded immediately, saying: "This? If he does this, isn't that for the people in Yanzuofang and Changlefang? No, it's more than that, it's for the whole city People watch it."

"..."

"Isn't that the plague seems to be cured by him?"

He asked angrily, "What did the Prime Minister say?"

Yu Wenye said: "Father has already agreed. The imperial guards that Brother Fu Ming saw just now are the troops of the Zuo Xiao Guards. They were ordered to guard Mingde Gate to prevent anyone from sneaking out."

Pei Xingyuan frowned forcefully, what else did he have to complain about, and he was worried about Yu Wenye's presence, he couldn't directly complain about the other party's father, so he could only hold back his mouth, but Shen Wuzheng pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister agrees, He also has his reasons."

"..."

"It has been the tenth day since the plague appeared in the city. All the streets and markets are closed to traffic. There is almost no business in the merchants, restaurants, and inns. All industries are closed, and the patience of the people has reached a limit. At this time, let them see Opening the city gate, a large number of patients will be healed and leave, which can relieve their anxiety and avoid causing greater civil unrest in the city."

"..."

"Moreover, the greater the momentum, the greater the impact on the people. This is indeed a good thing."

"..."

"only--"

Pei Xingyuan was displeased to hear that, and seeing his face look gloomy, he asked, "Just what?"

Shen Wuzheng glanced at him, then turned his head to look at Yu Wenye who also had a dignified expression, and said, "Brother Ling, he is a person who is very good at doing things, and even better at showing off his merits."

"..."

"This time, the time, location, and harmony of people are all just right to let the patients out of the city."

"..."

"One time, he took all the credit for controlling the plague in advance."

While speaking, the breathing of the three men also became heavy.

Although they had such calculations and plans, when facing Yu Wenjian, the other party was calm and calm, and with just one move, they almost put them to death.

Shen Wuzheng's eyes also deepened a little.

He said in a deep voice: "If we can't take this opportunity to find out the person behind him this time, we will suffer a heavy loss."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Wenye, and asked solemnly: "Apart from the incident just now, what else is there for you to enter the palace today—"

Yu Wenye said: "Taiyuan, news has arrived."

"...!"

Hearing this, Shen Wuzheng's eyes immediately flashed a light, and Pei Xingyuan couldn't hold back his whole body became excited, and he didn't care about his injured hands, which were still wrapped in thick bandages. Leaning on the table, he looked at Yu Wenye with wide eyes: "How?"

Yu Wenye said: "Huang Gongyi's personal soldier Song Shiyan came to report that there has been an epidemic in Taiyuan."

"..."

"My third brother also fell ill!"

Pei Xingyuan immediately took a deep breath.

Compared with his agitation, Shen Wuzheng is obviously much more calm and self-sustaining, but even if he is calm and self-sustaining, he can't suppress this moment when he speaks, his voice is a little lower than usual, and he asks: "Then how to deal with it here?"

Yu Wenye said: "Song Shiyan was ordered to come to ask for medicine, and he had to leave for Taiyuan before this evening. However, it is a certainty that Changlefang ran out of medicine materials; moreover, those patients made trouble yesterday, and Xingyuan also had to go to buy medicine. Hurt like this, no one will doubt it."

"..."

"So now, the only place where you can find the medicine is the guy in Yanzuofang."

"..."

"It's just that my elder brother has never reported the identity of this person, and he hasn't even found out the origin of those soups."

"What did the prime minister say?"

"Father has never discussed this matter in detail before, but he has ordered that within today, my elder brother must find the person who applied the medicine in Yanzuo Fang no matter what, and ask the other party to take out the medicine to treat the third brother. otherwise--"

It seemed that Yu Wenye didn't say what happened next because he seemed to be concerned about his father's reputation, but even if he didn't say it, everyone present would understand what happened next.

Even, Pei Xingyuan thought about it for a moment, and then shivered suddenly.

He murmured: "However, it's strange to say that this incident has been on the tenth day, and the prime minister has never asked the person who applied the medicine in Yanzuo Fang. Isn't he too careless?"

Shen Wuzheng shot him an angry look, and said: "If he really wants to investigate, the first one to investigate will be you who sell expensive medicine!"

"Yeah, then he—"

"Do you think the prime minister really doesn't know anything?"

Hearing this, Yu Wenye's eyes flashed brightly, but he didn't speak, he just looked at Shen Wuzheng deeply, and Pei Xingyuan suddenly widened his eyes when he heard the words, thought for a while, and said softly: "Your It means—the prime minister actually knew long ago that there are people behind Mr. Yuwen, and Fengchen also has people behind him, such as us. He just doesn't ask?"

Hearing the word "expert", Shen Wuzheng looked at him helplessly.

Sighing, Shen Wuzheng said again: "This is the genius of the prime minister."

Pei Xingyuan asked in surprise, "What do you mean?"

Shen Wuzheng said: "If he intervenes, we will tie our hands and feet, and the person behind Mr. Yuwen may not be involved in this matter. In this way, although the Prime Minister has clarified things and people, but the plague, just There's no cure."

"..."

"Then this time, how many people will die in Yanzuofang? How much trouble will there be in the city?"

"..."

"Daxing City is in chaos, the Eastern Capital, Wang Shaoji who is about to go north, and the Turks who have been eyeing us all the time, why don't they take action?"

"It turns out that it is like this,"

Hearing what he said, Pei Xingyuan suddenly realized, and sighed softly: "I thought it was Shibo who was so confused——"

Speaking of this, he consciously made a slip of the tongue again, and carefully looked at Yu Wenye. Although Yu Wenye didn't say anything, he just gave him a glare, and Shen Wuzheng, who was at the side, shook his head helplessly again.

Pei Xingyuan chuckled, and continued, "But I didn't expect that in this world, apart from old fools, there are rare fools."

Shen Wuzheng said: "The prime minister is like this, he is not even confused."

"..."

"He is obviously in complete control of our every move. As long as we don't really cause major troubles, he won't ask too much. Because his ultimate goal is to control this plague and pass it at the same time. Identify some people's positions and examine some people's abilities."

As he spoke, he looked at Yu Wenye: "All of us have been screened and examined by him."

"..."

"And today, he forced your eldest brother to find the person who applied the medicine in Yanzuofang to take out the medicine to save Taiyuan and your third brother. Firstly, because the plague in Daxing City has been controlled, he has room to find out what's behind your elder brother's back." secondly, he also needs to identify the person behind your elder brother, because—Eldest Prince Yuwen is only one step away from the prime minister's 'big reward'."

Yu Wenye's eyebrows tightened again.

Pei Xingyuan also trembled, and said: "I thought we had thought deeply enough."

"..."

"I didn't expect the prime minister—as expected of the prime minister."

Shen Wuzheng asked Yu Wenye again: "Then where is brother Ling now? Have you gone to find that person?"

Yu Wenye said: "After coming out of the palace, he walked with me for a while. I said I wanted to see Xingyuan, and he asked me to take care of him, and he was going to work in Yanzuofang."

"He went back to Yanzuofang?"

"Ah."

"Didn't you find anyone?"

"My people are at Changle Square, and they can see the situation in Yanzuo Square. At present, it seems that he is still in Yanzuo Square. He has not left, and he has not asked anyone to spread the word."

Shen Wuzheng and Pei Xingyuan looked at each other, both of them showed a trace of doubt, and it took a long time to hear Pei Xingyuan muttering: "Judging from the situation these few days, it is impossible for that person to hide in Yanzuofang. He must be in Somewhere in the city that holds many clues to us."

"..."

"Brother Ling went to Yanzuofang, isn't he going to find medicine that can save your third brother?"

Yu Wenye shook his head and said, "That's impossible. Leaving aside what my father said, just talking about the relationship between my elder brother and my third brother, it's impossible for him to let my third brother get sick and ignore it."

"..."

"So, I guess he has other ways, or someone else, who can help him notify that person."

"..."

"And he didn't move, he just didn't want to give us any clues."

Shen Wuzheng thought for a while, and asked, "Are there other people present today besides you?"

Yu Wenye nodded: "Yes."

"Who?"

"General Zuo Xiaowei, Yu Dingxing."

Hearing this name, Pei Xingyuan's eyes lit up immediately, and he said, "This man, he and Brother Ling have a 'very close relationship'. If they hadn't hooked up in advance—" He paused here, seeing the Shen Wuzheng shook his head, immediately smiled, and changed his words: "Hook, collusion! If it wasn't for their collusion, Brother Ling would not have taken Daxing City so easily and made such a great contribution. Speaking of which, Brother Ling and him earlier Is there any contact?"

Yu Wenye shook his head: "Our family has never had any contact with the Yu family. How he and Yu Dingxing met, and why he was able to win Daxing City and unite with each other this time, until now, I haven't figured it out."

"..."

"It's just that, judging from the current situation, there seems to be an invisible connection between them."

"Invisible connection..."

Shen Wuzheng murmured and repeated these words, his eyes flickered slightly, and he said softly: "Maybe, it's someone who hasn't shown up all this time?"

Hearing this sentence, the atmosphere in the room suddenly froze.

one person!

The one who never shows up, but has his figure on every key matter, planning every step of the way.

and so--

Everything seems to be just right!

Shen Wuzheng turned his head to look out of the window. It was past the end of the day, and the sun was slowly heading west, as if their plan was also approaching the end step by step.

He murmured: "It seems that success or failure is today."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Wenye again: "By the way, where is Ruyi?"
