Concubine Mengfei

Chapter 235 Missing Bezoar

When the governor of Yinzhou heard the news from the concierge, he was lying on the couch with his beautiful concubine in his arms, sleeping like a dead pig.

Hearing this, both of his eyes were jumping, and he hurriedly lifted the curtain of the bed, put on his clothes, and hurried to the outskirts of the city.

When the magistrate of Yinzhou arrived at the outskirts of the city, it was already high in the sun. At that time, He Lianyu had already sent people to build a thatched hut.Some wood was placed on the ground in a haphazard manner.

Secondly, there is a porridge shed next to the thatched hut. The plague destroyed most of the farmland, and the rice tanks in the people’s homes were about to bottom out. He ordered the government to open a warehouse to release grain, and then use soybeans and other crops to cook. Served as porridge.

The people who did not suffer from the plague all lined up in a long line, waiting to receive the porridge.

Under coordination, everything is orderly and there is no chaos.

"Your Highness, how can you do it yourself, just leave it to the humble minister." The prefect of Yinzhou squeezed into the porridge shed from the crowd, salivating on his old face.

"Do it for you?" He Lianyu didn't even look at him, but said coldly: "This king said that he would personally lead the people of Yinzhou City out of the plague, and promised them food and clothing. How could it be said that he was doing it for him? Are you questioning?" Did the king say anything?"

The prefect of Yinzhou repeatedly said "Don't dare, dare not", and he really didn't dare to say a word.

Seeing the people take the porridge away, but he could only stand helplessly, he felt very distressed.This is how the food that he hid privately was donated.

He was not the only one who felt distressed. As more and more people came to get the porridge, several big households from Yinzhou City also rushed over, stood beside the prefect of Yinzhou, looked at He Lianyu, wanted to say something, but couldn't. Say.

However, their situation is better than that of the prefect of Yinzhou.

Early this morning, He Lianyu sent people to lock down the doors of their homes, and persuaded them to take out part of the food in their homes, and gave them a corresponding amount of silver.

He Lianyu glanced at these people coldly, still showing no expression on the surface, but when he saw the amount of food in their home, he was already angry.

Thinking about it, this group of people is the biggest rat. I don't know how much of the food allocated by the imperial court was divided up by them, and how much was actually distributed to the people.

However, he is also very clear that this group of people are local snakes in Yinzhou City, if they are directly overthrown, they will definitely be willing to give up.At that time, the plague will not be cured, and there will be another riot in Yinzhou, which is not what he wants to see.So, take it slow.

At this time, Yu Moying was also in the porridge shed, distributing porridge to the common people.She didn't pay much attention to the mood of Yinzhou magistrate and big households.

After every commoner received the porridge, she would show a kind smile.At first, the people thought she was very smiling and kind, and when people saw her, they couldn't help but feel good about her.

They just knew that this fairy-like woman belonged to He Lianyu, but they didn't know who she was.Until someone shouted in surprise: "This is the queen concubine." Everyone showed surprised expressions in unison.

His Royal Highness Yu Wang not only practiced himself, lived in the disaster area, but also came to the outskirts of the city to supervise the distribution of porridge. Even Princess Yu came to deliver porridge in person.Even if there were complaints in their hearts, at this time, they were moved by their actions a lot.

The dull atmosphere suddenly turned into cheers. Yu Moying was a little at a loss when she heard them calling each of them "Princess Wangfei". She didn't marry He Lianyu at all. I'm afraid that such a name would cause more people to misunderstand up.

But He Lianyu didn't care about the name, and was even a little bit happy.At this moment, he looked at Yu Moying, and there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.The woman he identified has never been wrong.

No matter how outsiders think of Yu Moying, in his heart, Yu Moying is colder than the hypocritical Leng Yan, Yu Moyan and others, at least they can admit what they have done, this alone is better a lot of.Besides, her stubbornness is very similar to his biological mother.

Seeing He Lianyu's schadenfreude expression, Yu Moying gave up on asking him to explain, and continued to serve porridge in silence.

While distributing the porridge, I was thinking that all the doctors in Yinzhou City were summoned to another place to discuss the prescription for curing the plague with the imperial physician from the imperial court. Yi Feitai also joined them to discuss together. I don't know how they discussed it.

Even though the plague in Yinzhou was in full swing, there were still a lot of people in the city. At dusk, a large number of people still crowded in front of the porridge shed.

Porridge is also cooked pot after pot, and it has to be supplied to the people non-stop, which can exhaust the people who cook the porridge and those who transport the food.

As the sky darkened, there were a few strange cries in the air, and the people who came to receive the porridge froze, and looked around in panic.

Not long after, there were more and more screams. At the same time, there were various "squeaks" in the farmland not far away.

Before everyone could see clearly, a large flock of owls jumped out from all directions and flew over the farmland.

Near the porridge shed, there are only torches for lighting, and their green eyes make people feel frightened.

It's just that their eyes didn't look at the crowd, but stared at the farmland.

Under the wheat in the farmland, something seems to be running, shaking the straw.

The owls narrowed their eyes, and quickly flew to the wheat, opened their mouths, and there was a field mouse in their mouths.

In an instant, the entire farmland was surrounded by owls, and it was a dark patch. After killing one field mouse, they went to hunt another.

The common people didn't bother to get the porridge anymore. Seeing this situation, the bowls in their hands were shaking.

"Everyone, don't be afraid!" He Lianyu shouted untimely, "They are just helping everyone catch the culprit that caused this plague."

As soon as He Lianyu finished speaking, the people did calm down a little.There was an unquestionable and unwavering confidence in his words that reassured them.

They also began to watch the scene of the owl catching the voles, and saw that the rats in the farmland were much quieter than before.

Everyone picked up a torch involuntarily, and they could see that the vole's intestines were all black from the owl's mouth, and they couldn't help retching.

Thinking that these voles were the culprit, they suddenly realized.When facing He Lianyu, they still had a bit of self-blame in their hearts, and they actually blamed it on Su Gu, who could feed their stomachs.

"His Royal Highness, what should our relatives do?" Some of them stepped forward and asked guiltily.

He Lianyu said calmly: "Everyone, don't worry, the king said that if he wants to take you out of the plague, he will definitely do it. The king has asked the imperial doctors and the doctors in the city to come up with a cure for the plague. Unexpectedly, there will be results tonight."

It is also not allowed for any hesitation, his words are full of affirmation.

Even if He Lianyu was just standing in the porridge shed, he could clearly see the kingly aura in his body, and everyone present became quiet.Needless to say, they had already chosen to believe him.

The magistrate of Yinzhou had a low face, and when He Lianyu finally remembered to call him, he showed a courteous look again.

"What orders does Your Highness have for the lower officials?" He was fully expecting that He Lianyu would entrust him with some important errands, but in the end, He Lianyu said casually, "Catch more owls, the fields of Yinzhou It cannot be wasted."

Then, he asked the guards to lead the people back to the city first, and come back after the temporary shelters were built.There are quite a lot of voles here, and if they are not dealt with properly, another group of people may be infected with the plague.

At this time, on a cypress tree on the outskirts of the city, there were several pairs of eyes watching every move of the porridge shed.

"Lord Tianshi, if His Royal Highness King Yu cured the plague, then we'll let it go?" asked a person hiding behind Dugu Yun.

Dugu Yun looked at the porridge shed with a gloomy look in his eyes, forget it, how is it possible, as long as he is still alive, it will never be forgotten.

Seeing that Dugu Yun didn't reply, several people called him several times.After hearing this, Dugu Yun raised his eyebrows lightly, and said in a serious tone, "His Royal Highness Yu Wang will not cure the plague, and...when he is in Yinzhou, he must be eliminated."

"The last time I asked you to investigate the weapon map, are you sure that you were brought to Yinzhou by King Yu?" Then he turned his head and asked.

The others nodded affirmatively, saying that they had visited several times.Before coming to Yinzhou, He Lianyu brought out some rolls of silk cloth.The above should be the weapon map.

Dugu Yun's long and narrow eyes narrowed suddenly, and one came out between his teeth, "Okay."

Both He Lianyu and Yu Moying had to die, and the weapon map had to be obtained.

……

The conversations on the treetops would not reach the porridge shed, but Yu Moying, who had just put down the porridge spoon, raised her head silently for a moment, and looked at the row of big people moving in the distance. Tree.

"A Ying." He Lianyu called out several times before she came back to her senses.

Yu Moying only said it was fine, and He Lianyu didn't ask any further questions, so he went back to the city with her first.He reckoned that it was time for the imperial physicians to discuss the matter.

"How?" In the middle of the night, when He Lianyu returned to the private house in the separated area of ​​the city, the imperial physician and the doctors of Yinzhou City had been waiting for a long time, and he asked before he could step over the threshold.

"His Royal Highness, I have already prescribed the medicine." An old imperial doctor cupped his hands and said.

He Lianyu said lightly: "After it's prescribed, we will suffer according to the prescription, and start now. A moment later, there may be several more lives in the city."

"This..." Embarrassment appeared on the faces of the imperial physicians and doctors.

He Lianyu squinted at them and saw that they had doubts, so he asked, "Is there anything that you can't tell me?"

Doctors, you look at me, I look at him, hesitated for a while.

They finally said in full: "Your Highness, although this prescription is available, the blind bezoar needed in the prescription is not available in the nearest few cities. I heard that a few days ago, someone paid a high price for it. Purchased all the bezoars in the pharmacy."

"If there is less medicinal material, it will be useless."

After the imperial physician finished speaking, Yu Moying and He Lianyu's eyes were slightly horrified.
