The life of a peasant girl reborn

Chapter 390 The Undercurrent Surges (1)
"Help me send a letter to the prince." Xue Yaoxi said aloud.

Xue Yaoxi had already thought about it last night, and he would work with the prince to solve the matter of the Gu poison.It doesn't matter whether King Qi participated in this matter or not, just because King Qi wanted to trap him in Longfeng Town before.Using the excuse of the epidemic to kill him has already made Xue Yaoxi hate King Qi.Now that he has decided to stand on the opposite side of King Qi, Xue Yaoxi will naturally find a way to attack him.

"Okay." Shen Xuan only replied one word, and didn't mention why Xue Yaoxi wrote to the prince.

Wait for Shen Xuan and Xue Yaoxi to finish writing the letter.Seal it well.After handing over to An Er, An Er left.The rest of Shen Xuan and the others waited obediently on the mountain, waiting for the person who dispelled the Gu to arrive.

The people on Shen Xuan's side were very relaxed and lived comfortably in the mountains, but the situation in Longfeng Town was not good.

As soon as the hour came today, Old Man Yu went to deliver food to Xue Yaoxi and the others as usual, but when he reached the door of the room, he didn't hear the suppressed coughing sound, and suddenly had a premonition in his heart that the situation was not good.Listening intently, I didn't feel a trace of breathing in the room.

The old man Yu didn't care about other things, and directly broke into the empty room.The cold bed made him deeply aware that the situation was not good.Immediately afterwards, I went to the room of Mo Yan and the others, which was also empty.The same bed with no temperature, all the things showed a fact: Xue Yaoxi's master and servant disappeared.

Old man Yu hurried back to the closed room, and after messing around in it, he jumped to report to the master behind the scenes.

At four o'clock, the most luxurious room in the county government office of Longfeng County.King Qi broke into the place where he lived temporarily after he came to Longfeng County.

"Why are you here?" King Qi, sitting there with his eyes closed and meditating, heard the movement in the room, opened his eyes, saw Old Man Yu standing there, and asked in a cold tone.

"Something happened, and I need to discuss it with His Royal Highness Qi Wang." Uncle Yu replied aloud.At this time, Old Man Yu showed the other side again: his back was straight, and his cloudy eyes became cold, like a poisonous snake.Waiting in the wings.Ready to hunt prey.Even facing King Qi, there was no flattery in that tone, it was still cold.

"What's the matter?" King Qi asked aloud, and when he heard Uncle Yu's answer, he suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

"The person His Royal Highness Qi told him must die has disappeared." Old Uncle Yu continued to reply aloud, glanced casually at King Qi who was sitting there, and added, "Together with those four subordinates, they disappeared together. "

"What do you mean by disappearing?" King Qi asked angrily after hearing that Xue Yaoxi's master and servant had disappeared.

"I don't know. The person is gone anyway. As for whether he is dead or alive, who knows?" Old Uncle Yu replied nonchalantly, "His Royal Highness Qi Wang has been told about the matter, and the old man will go back first."

After the old man finished speaking, he left without looking at King Qi's angry look.Seeing the disappearing figure of old man Yu, King Qi threw the teacup on the table to the ground angrily, and the anger in his heart rose slowly.Looking at the direction where old man Yu's figure disappeared, bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed across his eyes.If it weren't for the old man's need for the next thing, it would be because of the other's arrogant attitude.For such a disrespectful move, the King of Qi had already ordered the old man Yu to be killed.

Before the prince went to the south of the Yangtze River for disaster relief, King Qi arranged a series of blocking plans, but they were all cracked. Instead of trapping the prince, the prince's reputation among the people and the courtiers' center increased a lot.

Knowing that the food had reached the border of Jiangnan, King Qi knew that he had lost the battle.This plan failed, and King Qi immediately had a second plan, which was to create a plague.

King Qi's original plan was to find a few people infected with the disease in the flooded areas in the south of the Yangtze River, so as to add difficulties to the prince.It would be best if the prince "accidentally" contracted the disease and couldn't find a cure, just die like that.It's just that the plan is perfect, but the reality is cruel. King Qi's idea was stillborn before it was implemented.

After Shen Chaoxia arrived at the place where the flood occurred in the south of the Yangtze River, he mentioned to the prince Murong Qingfeng about the proneness to disease after the flood.In order to prevent the epidemic, Shen Chaoxia reported to the prince all the things Shen Xuan told him that needed attention, and the matter naturally got the prince's attention.In the process of disaster relief, the prince also conveyed the need to prevent the epidemic, and issued instructions one by one.Such a comprehensive prevention, if there is an epidemic, it will be unreasonable, and even ordinary people will know that there is something wrong with it.

This plan still didn't work, and the expected consequences did not appear. King Qi, who was staying in the capital, was furious for several days, and the wives and concubines in the mansion.The maids and servants were scared and trembled.

King Qi was not such a brainless person, he found out the reason why he would fail in only two days, and immediately focused his attention on the Shen residence, Shen Chaoqiu who was related to disaster relief.The names of Shen Chaodong and Shen Xuan both appeared on the materials that King Qi requested to investigate, while Shen Xuan's name was deliberately drawn out, but Shen Xuan didn't know about it yet.

Before King Qi could take action against the people of the Shen residence, an ambitious person approached King Qi with a very clear purpose. He wanted to cooperate with King Qi, help each other, and get the position they wanted, the position they wanted .After King Qi talked with the ambitious man, they established a cooperative relationship.Everyone understands that they each get what they need, and they also have the idea of ​​seeking skin from a tiger in their hearts.

That careerist provided King Qi with a person who could poison him, and that was Uncle Yu.After discussing with his staff, King Qi came up with a plan: use Gu poison to create a similar disease in the north.Because of King Qi's plan, there was an epidemic in Longfeng County.

After venting his anger, King Qi pondered for a while, and then ordered to his subordinates, "Come on, find Xue Yaoxi, the five masters and servants, and you must find them for me."

In the capital at the end of July, up to the emperor's courtiers.Down to ordinary people, they are all in dire straits.Originally, the summer heat was already enough to bear, but what made it worse was the memorial presented by King Qi, which told about the fact that Xue Yaoxi had the disease but people didn’t know about it. Due to the limited force, they could only be brought to Longfeng Town. I hope that the emperor will order the burning of Longfeng Town.

Regarding the opinions raised in King Qi's memorial, this issue was discussed in the early court for three consecutive days.Some support the opinions of King Qi, some oppose the opinions of King Qi, and others remain neutral.Play deaf and dumb.In short, they quarreled for their own interests behind the scenes.

The news of the epidemic in Longfeng Town in the north also spread throughout the capital. There were all kinds of rumors and versions. Apart from discussing the matter as a talking point, everyone was also worried that the epidemic would spread to the capital.
