Rebirth of the eldest daughter

Chapter 1274 That’s the crown prince of Dongling! How could this be?
Liu Yao couldn't help but change his expression when he saw the doctor's expression.

He asked: "What's the matter?"

The doctor responded like this: "Your Highness, among the decoctions taken by the corvee to prevent epidemics, one of the medicines has been replaced."

Liu Yao frowned: "Replacement? How do you say it?"

The doctor explained: "This medicine is very similar to the medicine that was replaced. If a doctor is not experienced enough, he will not be able to tell the difference at all."

"And their medicinal properties/are also very different. These corvees took the substituted medicine. When they were excited, they would panic too much and show the appearance of insanity."

"But because the substituted medicine is colorless and odorless, it is not easy to detect after brewing it, and it is not toxic. It only makes people lose their minds. Therefore, after the medicine is brewed, it cannot be detected with a silver needle, so people can get away with it. "

Hearing this, Liu Yao asked again: "Is there a big price difference between the two medicines?"

The doctor gave an affirmative answer: "The original medicine cost about one tael of silver and a hundred catties, but the replaced medicine cost one tael of silver and could buy thousands of catties."

Liu Yao heard this and fell into thinking.

He self-analysed: "The purchasing of medicinal materials is done in large quantities and in categories, and then the medicines are prepared according to the prescriptions."

"The prices are so different. We do not rule out the possibility of fraud, but it makes it a bit difficult to figure out whether this is a deliberate murder or the result of embezzling the price difference."

After hearing this, the doctor reminded Liu Yao: "Your Highness, as far as I know, the purchased medicine needs to be inspected by a doctor. It will not be used until there is no problem."

"After the doctor examines it, it will be immediately used to prepare anti-epidemic medicine, so either the doctor cannot detect it, or the problem lies with the doctor responsible for the examination."

Liu Yao nodded: "I understand. Is this possible solution? Will the lives of the corvee be in danger because of this?"

The doctor shook his head: "If you stop taking the medicine in time, the symptoms will be relieved and they will disappear in a few days."

Liu Yao thought for a moment and then asked: "If the medicine is stopped, it will easily cause an epidemic. If the corvee changes to our batch of medicine, will it have an impact on their health?"

The doctor shook his head: "Stop taking the medicine for a day and then take the correct medicine. It will not cause any harm to the body."

Liu Yao immediately made a decision: "Give them the medicine we took first. However, the medicinal materials are scarce. In the meantime, please try your best to pick out the medicines that have been replaced. I will find a way to find the correct medicine to replace it." ”

The doctor accepted the order, then bowed and left.

While Liu Yao was busy dealing with all emergencies, Bai Mingwei arrived.

Looking at the dusty Bai Mingwei, Liu Yao was a little surprised: "General, why are you here?"

Bai Ming slightly bowed his hands and then explained: "The situation is forcing me to come here as a last resort."

Liu Yao was a little worried: "Mr. Meng, he..."

Bai Ming said slightly: "As soon as I arrived, the people who were supposed to protect His Highness had quickly and secretly gone to Mr. Meng's side."

When Liu Yao heard this, without much greeting, he brought the topic to the situation of corvee labor.

He briefly explained the situation and then concluded: "What I am worried about now is that there are also problems with the new batch of medicines distributed to the victims."

Bai Mingwei immediately summoned his close associates to protect him: "Did you hear what His Highness said?"

The guard nodded: "I heard this."

Bai Mingwei immediately ordered: "Your Highness and I will issue an official document to ask officials from various places to recruit doctors again to check the decoctions to prevent the epidemic."

"But this is not the fundamental solution. You should personally contact the local communities and warehouses and tell them to take this matter seriously."

The guards immediately ordered to retreat.

Liu Yao asked: "General, does he have any other opinions on this?"

Bai Mingwei didn't think for a long time and immediately came to the conclusion:
"If there is a problem only with these batches of corvees, then it is most likely that this matter is directed at Mr. Meng."

"Currently, the Crown Prince is already overwhelmed by some matters and cannot allocate too many manpower to deal with Mr. Meng, so we start with corvee labor to divert our attention and kill Mr. Meng's mouth." "If this situation occurs in many places across Jiangbei, Then the price difference between some people’s ink is one of the reasons.”

"They want to use this to force everyone to stop taking the medicine, causing an epidemic in Jiangbei, and making Jiangbei's predicament less easy to solve. This is also one of the reasons."

"Of course, under such circumstances, it still does not prevent them from taking action against Mr. Meng. There was a problem with the corvee, and I was 'forced' to come here. This is proof that they intended to use this matter to divert the tiger away from the mountain, and then go after Mr. Meng."

"So if the latter is the case, multiple forces will join forces. Chaosing Jiangbei and killing people and silencing them are the results they want to see."

Liu Yao didn't show much surprise when he heard this.

Along the way, they experienced a lot.

Everything is a battle of wits and courage with the enemy.

There was Bei Yan who kept causing trouble, Qin Fengye who was targeting them, and the prince who wanted to kill them.

and other forces that may be involved.

He has long been used to it.

But he finally asked the doubts in his heart: "General, you have never told me what kind of things Mr. Meng is involved in."

Yes, Liu Yao never asked, and naturally he didn't know the reason.

Because Bai Mingwei believed that Meng Ziang could solve the flood problem, after understanding Meng Ziang's general background information, he did not hesitate to adopt Meng Ziang.

But he had never understood the conspiracy Meng Ziang was involved in.

However, when Meng Ziang was targeted again and again, he couldn't help but become confused.

Bai Mingwei didn't hide anything and told the cause and effect:
"That's what happened. I didn't tell His Highness the truth before, because the truth is too cruel. Now that things have happened, I have no need to hide it."

When Liu Yao heard this, he sat down on the chair and did not regain consciousness for a long time.

After a while, his face turned red and he was very excited: "It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous!"

Yes.

What else could he say besides being ridiculous?
He knew that the fall of the five cities in northern Xinjiang was the result of Qin Fengye instructing Li Xianzhao to collaborate with the enemy.

He also knew that in order to deal with them, the prince had tried to create a dam, hoping to create a disaster, but he never thought that a natural disaster would come first.

But he didn't know that the prince was the biggest traitor to the country!
Prince!
That is the crown prince of Dongling.

If nothing happens, Dongling Jiangshan will be his.

How could he betray his country?
Liu Yao, who learned the truth, smiled sarcastically, smiled, and finally shed tears.

For a moment, he didn't know whether it was the Beiyan barbarians who were more hateful, or these traitors to the country who were more hateful.

Bai Mingwei stood quietly without saying much.

After a while, Liu Yao wiped away the tears on his face, seeming to cheer up again in this short period of time.

He said loudly: "General, please protect Mr. Meng's safety at all costs."

"Not only because he saved the situation in Jiangbei, but also because if he, the only witness, was killed, there would be no chance of justice for what happened back then."

Bai Mingwei solemnly agreed: "Your Highness, please rest assured that I have made arrangements to ensure that those who want to harm Mr. Meng's life will never come back!"

Liu Yao's clenched fists never relaxed for a long time.

But his focus was on the current situation:
"I did not choose to garrison troops for emergency relief. I asked my subordinates to urgently recruit victims to go to support. If the dams blocking the tributaries cannot be solved in time and the tributaries can share the pressure of the water flow, this dam may not be safe."
