My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

Rong Ping's face was stern: "Mr. Huang, you should go to the capital to explain today's matter to His Majesty."

"My duty is only to escort you to see His Majesty."

"As for whether you believe it or not, it has nothing to do with me."

Huang Changsheng's eyes darkened: "My Lord, are you saying that there is no room for compromise?"

Rong Ping: "This matter is of great importance, I have no right to make concessions!"

Huang Changsheng smiled, with a shadow in his eyes: "Today was supposed to be a good day for this family master, but a disaster came from heaven. In order to protect the Huang family, Lord, don't blame this family master for being rude."

"Someone, take Rong Hou and his group away and let them calm down."

The guards at the banquet and outside the courtyard responded and took action. Rong Ping only brought fifty soldiers with him. When the two sides stood together, the difference in strength was immediately apparent.

Just as the swords were about to clash and Huang Changsheng was sure of victory.

With a "bang", someone fainted.

She is Huang Rou, the eldest daughter of the Huang family.

Before Huang Changsheng could react, his son Huang Chao beside him also fell to the ground.

Then, the Huang family members covered their stomachs in pain, their bodies tilted, and they lost consciousness.

There was a doctor among the guests. He stepped forward to take the patient's pulse and his face changed drastically after a moment.

"Mr. Huang, he...he's dead! Died of mushroom poisoning!"

Huang Changsheng:!!!

The doctor changed another person to make the diagnosis.

Then he reported in a trembling voice: "He died too, also from mushroom poisoning!"

Huang Changsheng:!!!

Huang Changsheng looked at his clansmen lying on the ground with bloodshot eyes!

Huang Changsheng shouted: "Is this mushroom poisonous? How can this mushroom be poisonous?"

He grabbed the doctor by the collar, "Are you kidding me?"

The doctor felt like crying because his collar was squeezing his neck. "Mr. Huang, I...I didn't lie to you."

"Then why are only the members of my Huang family dying? Why are these guests who also ate mushrooms fine?"

Guests: ...So they are still standing there and are getting in your way, right?

The doctor shook his head wildly: "I don't know! I don't know!"

If he had known he would encounter this situation, he would never have stood up no matter what.

Ye Xingxin: [This ancient version of medical disputes is also quite annoying. ]

"Master, would you like to let this doctor check your body?" The old butler was frightened and worried that his master would kill the only doctor present, so he spoke quickly.

After the butler said this, Huang Changsheng remembered that he had also eaten mushrooms, and his face turned even paler.

He glanced at the only source of mushrooms on the table in fear and angrily asked, "Who made this chicken stewed with mushrooms? Who asked you to serve it?"

The old butler said with a bitter face: "It was the eldest master who thought this dish was delicious, so he asked the servants to serve it to the table."

"But in the past few days, other masters in the mansion have also tasted this dish and found no problem at all. The eldest master also saw that everyone was very enthusiastic about this dish, so he ordered the servants to serve it on the table."

"As for the person who made this dish, it was one of the four people you brought back from the gate ten days ago."

Huang Changsheng remembered, and his face twisted for a moment:

"Didn't I let them chop wood? Who let them into the big kitchen?"

The housekeeper said, "It was the eldest son who allowed him to do so. He accidentally drank the chicken soup that Mayor Huang brought back from the kitchen and thought it tasted good, so he allowed the servant named Dayu to enter the kitchen."

"She brought people to the mountains to pick these mushrooms a few days ago. There are more than ten baskets in total."

"We are using the last two baskets today."

Huang Changsheng analyzed these words and felt a buzzing in his head.

God is going to kill him, God is going to kill the Huang family!

Otherwise, why didn’t it happen before, but happened today?

All the members of his Huang family are here!

The Huang family was wiped out by a small-time chicken stewed with mushrooms!

He was angry and sad, and he tried hard to endure the dizziness from the mushroom poisoning, and ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, bring this guy called Big Duck to this family master."

A guard hurried to the big kitchen to look for someone. Rong Ping was about to stop him with his sword in hand, but the kitchen's steward came running over.

He didn't know what was going on here. When he came in and saw countless eyes and people lying on the ground, he subconsciously felt something was wrong.

Just when I was at a loss, the butler spoke up: "What happened in the kitchen?"

The steward hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, the four prostitutes you brought back earlier are gone."

"puff!"

Huang Changsheng's spirit was completely shattered by this sentence.

Due to the intense emotions and mushroom poisoning, he vomited a mouthful of blood.

Then his eyes became straight and his body fell to the ground.

The old housekeeper caught him subconsciously and ordered anxiously: "Doctor, hurry up and treat the master of the family."

The doctor was experienced in treating patients and knew what was happening with Huang Changsheng, but he still put his hand on his pulse.

After a few breaths, he seemed to be relieved and said, "Butler, Mr. Huang is gone."

"Please prepare a coffin for Mr. Huang to bury him."

Old housekeeper:!!!

The old butler was old, and could not bear the blow. His eyes bulged, foam came out of his mouth, and he fell to the ground and twitched for a while before he was frightened to death.

doctor:!!???

The doctor reported the situation to the only person who could take charge of the situation. Rong Ping waved his hand and said with a heavy heart:

"Come here, seal off the Huang family and call in all the coroners in the city to perform an autopsy."

A soldier received the order and went out.

Rong Ping looked at Rong Anle again and said, "Anle, report the news to the capital. Before your majesty's troops arrive, no one is allowed to enter or leave the city gates. The whole city is under martial law."

Rong Anle took the order, left her and looked at the roof calmly.

In the current situation, she admired Ye Shengxin and the amnesiac Majesty's courage, but was also worried that they would be subjected to crazy revenge.

City-wide martial law?

Ye Xingxin blinked: "Didn't the masters of the Huang family ascend to heaven? Why is Lord Rong still so cautious?"

"Can they still make some waves?"

Zhang Liang looked down and explained in a low voice: "The Huang family is the largest family in the Zhou Dynasty. Families like this have private soldiers or secret guards, and the number is quite large."

"Once the master of the Huang family is born, these people raised by them will either avenge them or cause chaos."

Zhang Liang's eyes darkened. "In this world today, there are less than three people who can deal with the Huang family. The Huang family already knows the intentions of the current emperor, so how can we not be on guard?"

Ye Xingxin: "The master is dead? How can these subordinates be so obedient? Aren't they afraid of death?"

Cui Luoshan was also somewhat knowledgeable. He analyzed, "These people must have been raised by the Huang family since they were young. They would definitely regard the Huang family as their primary concern. Now that the master of the Huang family is dead, they will naturally want to avenge them."

"It is also possible that the Huang family used a secret poison to control them. Now that all the masters of the Huang family are dead, they have no source of antidote, so naturally they have to drag some people down with them before they die."

Ye Xingxin was frightened. She patted her chest and said, "This world is so scary."

[Human nature is so complicated, my motherland, I want to go back.]

Under the sky, the ministers saw this and advised the prince to send troops to support Jianghe City as soon as possible.

The prince raised his hand and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I asked Xu Changyu to lead the troops there a few days ago. If we calculate the time, they should have reached the city gate."

He had always remembered Master Tongshan's previous implicit reminder. Later, based on Ye Shengxin's bad luck, he guessed something and made preparations in advance in case of any changes.

With Rong Anle, a lieutenant general with three years of battlefield experience, I believe the rebellious party secretly cultivated by the Huang family will be quelled soon.

The prince's prediction was correct. Not long after Rong Anle left Huang Mansion, he received news that the imperial army was entering the city.

She immediately went to meet Xu Changyu, and the two worked together to control the entire city in just half a day.

The rebels who jumped out first and tried to cause chaos were killed one after another by Rong Anle's sword.

For a time, people in the city were in panic, and all the citizens stayed at home, hoping that this sudden storm would pass quickly.

-

After taking control of the Huang family, Rong Ping knew that His Majesty was short of money, so he immediately ordered people to confiscate the Huang family's property.

Ye Shengxin and Emperor Jingming were looking at the treasures on the roof with envy. They also wanted the treasures that could not fit into several courtyards.

Relying on Hao Duanzhuang, the four of them walked in front of these treasures. Ye Shengxin asked Hao Duanzhuang to secretly put away a box of gold ingots when no one was paying attention.

Afterwards, she looked around and saw Rong Ping was registering people nearby and didn't notice this place at all.

She covered her mouth and laughed, then asked Hao Duanzhuang to move another box.

Rong Ping: ...

Rong Ping twitched his lips.

Can Ye Shengxin face up to his intelligence and insight?

Although these treasures are crowded together and some are missing, ordinary people would not notice it without careful observation, but is he an ordinary person?

After walking down the battlefield of life and death, if he had not noticed any movement around him, he would have died a thousand times already.

The deputy general in front of him also keenly noticed something while reporting the mission. He frowned and was about to speak, but Rong Ping suppressed his hand in time.

And whispered: "It's nothing, don't make a fuss."

Deputy General: ...

The deputy general saw from the corner of his eye that two of the famous paintings in the Huang family's collection were missing, and his pupils dilated.

This, this, this...what is going on?

Rong Ping held his forehead with his hand.

Your Majesty, please restrain yourself.

As he was praying like this, he accidentally glanced and saw that a piece of fine purple inkstone had disappeared without a trace.

Rong Ping: ...

He sighed.

The civil and military officials under the sky watched their Majesty picking out the confiscated treasures, relying on Hao Duanzhuang's ability.

All speechless and helpless.

As the son of Emperor Jingming, the crown prince coughed and tried to save his father's dignity:

"A small portion of the confiscated items will go into the emperor's private treasury. The emperor can select them on the spot, which saves the eunuchs from asking for permission afterwards. They can go directly into the national treasury."

Prime Minister Shangguan stroked his beard and said in a flattering tone: "It also saves me the trouble of looking it up."

The items confiscated and stored in the national treasury need to be reconciled between the prime minister and the emperor at the final stage, which saves Prime Minister Shangguan time.

The ministers responded tacitly.

For a moment, everyone deliberately avoided watching Emperor Jingming's greedy scene of collecting treasures, giving him enough face when he regained his memory in the future.

After taking most of the Huang family's property, Ye Shengxin and others left the Huang family in the evening and returned to the inn where they had stayed when they arrived in Jianghe City.

The big and small donkeys and the two ducks were well taken care of by the shopkeeper here. Ye Shengxin was not short of money, so he gave him ten taels of silver to express his gratitude.
