Chapter 505 Serving the People

As an official of the Tang Dynasty, it is right to devote oneself to the Tang Dynasty until one dies.

However, when you find out that Datang doesn't need you to worry about it now, and you will die after doing your best, you will be very sad.

Thinking about it, it is true. Not long after the wife gave birth, she took the soldiers and horses to fight for the Great Tang. What is the plan?
Now, the countries around Datang are all shrinking their necks like quails to look at Li Zhi, the boss, who is alive. .

Yun Chu pondered—the great era of dawdling has arrived.

The sudden death of Mrs. Han was a great funeral for Duke Zhou's mansion.

Poor He Lanminzhi hadn't finished his grandmother's funeral, and was about to mourn for his mother. It can be said to be very, very pitiful.

It is said that He Lanminzhi, who was originally guarding the tomb of his grandmother Mrs. Rongguo in Hongdu, Xianyang, did not come up after hearing the news of his mother's sudden death. He almost left with his mother. , and then drove back to Zhou Guogong's mansion to preside over his mother's funeral.

He Lanminzhi's legs were mostly healed, but he was still a little limping when he walked. He was terribly thin, his eyes were deeply sunken into their sockets, and the red ones looked more like will-o'-the-wisps.

Mrs. Wu Shun of South Korea died suddenly at the age of 35. Li Zhi decreed that Mrs. Korea should enter Mrs. Zheng Guo, give her a pair of wings and screens, encourage a team, and allow her to be buried with the ceremony of Mrs. Guo.

In order to satisfy Yu Xiurong's exuberant desire to watch the excitement, the Yun family sent a condolence team represented by Madam Hou Yu Xiurong to Zhou Guogong's mansion to offer condolences.

Naha also wanted to watch the excitement, but Yunchu firmly held her down and forbade her to go. If she didn't have a fickle face like Yu Xiurong and Cui Shi, she shouldn't go to the excitement, in case she couldn't help it It's not okay to laugh out loud during condolences.

So, who killed Mrs. Korea?
This incident quickly occupied the top ten rumors in Chang'an!
The wise men in the restaurants and teahouses gave many different explanations. Among them, the one that was far ahead was that Wu Shunzhi's death was related to the jealous queen of the Tang Dynasty.

The fact that His Majesty likes sisters to take all is nothing new in Chang'an. Coupled with the little Mrs. Wei who died before, this has raised the Chang'an people's curiosity-seeking mentality to an unprecedented level.

A Korean lady is worthless, even a boring person like Yu Xiurong can fabricate a set of bizarre causes of death, then restaurants, teahouses, and wise men in the market can give you convincing answers one after another.

Just when everyone thought Zhou Guogong would go crazy, Zhou Guogong, who was thin like a bolt of lightning, politely thanked the angel and thanked the envoy sent by his second aunt, and told the envoy that he hoped that his second aunt would not be angry because of his mother. I feel sad about the death of Wu, and I have to take care of my health... Finally, I said that the population of the Wu clan is dying, and I hope that my second aunt can pardon those exiled Wu clan members.

The people who went to Zhou Guogong's mansion to express their condolences were actually to watch the fun. When everyone left Zhou Guogong's mansion, one of the skinny He Lanmin sat blankly on the threshold of the Zhou Guogong mansion, dressed in filial piety, bowing his head. Look at the busy ants under your feet.

Such Zhou Guogong really didn't have much fun to watch. Even if his mother was unruly and seduced the emperor, He Lanminzhi was a good young man.

Born in such a chaotic family, it is really rare to be able to repent.

"The Tubo woman who helped Zhou Guogong deal with the condolences of the women's relatives is really nice. It is different from what the husband said. She is a very polite and good woman. She dared to wear mourning for the Korean lady before she was engaged. It is really enviable. .”

Yu Xiurong didn't see the commotion, but came back after being stuffed with dog food by He Lanminzhi and Dunzhu.

Yunchu looked back at Naha who looked horrified, stroked the child's head and said, "I need to learn more in the future."

Naha nodded and said, "Well, I won't hit anyone with a stick again."

Yu Xiurong said to Yunchu again: "Poor, my husband didn't see Zhou Guogong sitting on the threshold alone watching the ants move.

You explain that they are all rich and noble families, so why do they live worse than the poor ghosts in Wannian County? "

When Yun Chu saw Yu Xiurong's eyes crooked, he hurriedly said, "That's because there is no housewife like Mrs. Zhou in Duke Zhou's residence."

Yu Xiurong nodded in satisfaction and said, "That's true. If the Korean lady is a shameless person, Duke Zhou's mansion should also look like a thriving group of people."

Naha leaned close to Yu Xiurong, stroked his sister-in-law's belly and said, "There must be another little nephew here."

Yu Xiurong nodded in satisfaction, called Nanny Cui, and was helped by Nanny Cui to the bedroom. Today, she was a little sleepy after staying for a long time in Duke Zhou's mansion to watch the excitement.

Naha jumped in front of Yunchu and said, "How is my performance?"

Yun Chu raised his thumb silently.

"I think Mrs. Han should have died at the hands of He Lanmin." After arriving in the secret room, Yunchu's small stove hadn't been lit yet, and Rourou who hurried over was the first to express her own judgment.

Di Renjie, who just threw the whip on the table, shook his head and said, "As far as I know, He Lanminzhi has never left Xianyang Hongduyuan."

Wen Rou laughed loudly and said: "I'm pretty sure that He Lanminzhi killed his mother, and he also wanted to use his mother's death to further force the queen to agree to his marriage with that Tubo woman, and also wanted to use his mother's death to persuade the queen. Ask for more supplies that can go to Tubo to make trouble."

Di Renjie shook his head and said, "I don't believe that a person would poison his mother in order to achieve this kind of goal."

Yun Chu sat the water on the stove and said softly: "It is indeed He Lanmin's hand, but he did not do it himself, it was the Tubo woman Dunzhu's hand, using saffron water soaked in fire-calcined cinnabar."

Di Renjie frowned and said, "Cinnabar is non-toxic! Moreover, drinking cinnabar water has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxification, calming the mind and calming the nerves."

Yunchu knew that Di Renjie would ask such a question, so he took out a bead made of cinnabar, put it on the flame coming out of the smoke vent of the stove, and calcined it. After burning for a while, he put the cinnabar into the clear water and pushed it to Di Renjie. : "Drink it if you have the ability."

Di Renjie casually pushed the cinnabar water soaked in Yunchu to Rourou: "I heard that you have a sore mouth and tongue recently, and this product is just right."

Rourou looked at the glass of bright red cinnabar water and said: "I drank a bowl of cinnabar water brought by my wife this morning, and forget about the cinnabar water prepared by Yunchu. He said it is poisonous, so it must be poisonous."

Yunchu poured out the cinnabar water in the tea bowl, and even smashed the tea bowl, and then said to Di Renjie: "The cinnabar is burned into arsenic. It also has the effect of killing people. When Mrs. Korea died, the roots of her fingernails were purple, and there were also bruises under her eyes, which in itself is a sign of arsenic poisoning."

"After Mrs. Korea fell ill, which imperial doctor went to treat her?"

"Old He, he was also the one who discovered that Mrs. Han was poisoned to death."

"Why didn't he say it?"

"Old He said that he was called to get medical treatment. After he went, everyone died, so there was no treatment for the disease.

Besides, the Imperial Medical Office of the Tang Dynasty is still arguing over whether cinnabar is poisonous or not. Some bad-tempered imperial doctors even mixed some cinnabar water with cold water and poured it down on the spot, but they did not die.

At this time, let’s say Mrs. Korea died by drinking cinnabar water, poisoned, and died in Qujiang Palace. How many lives do you think Lao He has? How dare you say that Mrs. Korea died of poisoning? "

Di Renjie picked up a piece of cinnabar again, put it on the fire for a while, and then put it into boiling water. Seeing the cinnabar melt, he went out with a bowl of bright red cinnabar water.

Ruan Rou ate a bean and said to Yun Chu: "When my ancestor left, he told me that he could neglect his duties for a few years."

Yun Chu said: "I am going to put the corpse on it."

He laughed softly and said: "Zhou Yaoyao is lightly flying, the wind is blowing and the clothes are blowing. Ask Zhengfu about the way before, and hate the dawn of the morning light."

Yun Chu took a sip of strong tea and said, "Yun Wuxin used to go out of Xiu, and the birds knew to return when they were tired of flying. Jing Yiyi was about to enter, caressing the lonely pine and lingering."

Gentle continued: "Mu Xinxin is prosperous, and the spring trickles and begins to flow. When all things are good, I feel that my life will stop."

Yun Chu resolutely said: "Climb to Donggao to Shu Xiao, Lin Qingliu to compose poems. Chatting and multiplying to end, happy husband's destiny will be ridiculed!"

Di Renjie, who had just entered the door, heard what the two said, and opened his mouth and said: "Mr. Wuliu was insulted, and two sinister people were exalted.

The idyllic land you yearn for will only grow conspiracy, and the peaceful life you yearn for will only give birth to death. "

Rou Rou wiped her mouth and said, "Did you pour cinnabar water to that dog outside the door?"

Di Renjie sighed and said, "There is no need for a dog. I fed it to a chicken with a branch dipped in cinnabar water. After a while, the chicken died."

Gently licking his lips, he said to Yunchu: "Is there any other prescription for treating mouth sores? It seems that the prescription Zhuo Jing asked me is not appropriate."

Di Renjie said viciously: "Wu Dalang, Pan Jinlian has it, but I don't know who Ximen Qing is?"

Gentlely shook her head and said: "There is no Ximen Qing, if there is, it must be me. Zhuo Jing is just ignorant, not malicious, even though she is far more beautiful than the Pan Jinlian Yun Chu said."

Di Renjie looked at Yunchu and Wenrou said: "Do you really want to hang around for a few years?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "I have never had a real leisure day since I came to Datang. Since no one needs me to continue to work, I might as well take this opportunity to rest. Rest. I am devoted to Chang'an City, but I haven't observed it properly yet. This Chang'an City.

I didn’t go to Pingkangfang to listen to music, watch songs and dances, I didn’t pass out drunk and mess with orchids in the West Market, and I didn’t ride fast through the willow camp and play wild, and I didn’t compete with the sluts in Chang’an for the entanglement of the first part of Jiaofang. head.

It's really a loss. If this goes on, the official will be in vain. "

Di Renjie looked at the broken Yun Chu and said, "You used to be busy all day long, why didn't you feel that you were at a disadvantage?"

Yun Chu put away the smile on his face, patted his chest and said, "I used to think that what I did was serving the people."

　Chapter 2, see you tomorrow. These days, cupping, massage, and moxibustion are working hard, and typing with one hand is really slow.
