The grass in the factory should be plucked

After settling down, Pei Yuanzheng of the Imperial Medical Bureau asked the imperial doctors to distribute the preventive pills developed by the Longmen Medical Bureau.

He personally delivered the medicine to Nangong Qinghe's tent and told them to take one pill a day.

"This was developed by Longmen Medical Bureau? Brother Shen is really amazing!" Nangong Qinghe praised, "I wonder how Brother Shen and those imperial doctors are doing?"

Pei Yuanzheng reported back, "Thanks to this preventive pill, the imperial physicians and doctors in Zhujia Village are all fine. After Mr. Shen takes a bath and changes his clothes, he will come to see His Highness."

"Okay! Brother Shen and Longmen Medical Bureau should be credited for this!" Nangong Qinghe said with a smile.

With the help of A'li and Brother Jicheng, he believed that this epidemic would be quelled as soon as possible.

When the imperial doctors delivered the medicine, they also gave an "epidemic prevention" lesson to the people from the East Factory and the guards, reminding them to wash their hands frequently, disinfect more often, and fumigate with mugwort when necessary.

Then, Xie Changan began to arrange the defense.

Spread out all the secret guards, have them hide in their respective positions with the prince's tent as the center, and make sure the prince's safety is guaranteed.

Jiang Li was afraid that animals might spread the disease unknowingly, so she only brought the fat rat this time. Xie Changan then asked the little eagle to follow her to prevent her from getting into danger when she was alone.

Jiang Li hid in a sheltered valley, then released the fat rat and warned it not to enter Zhujia Village.

The fat rat nodded repeatedly: "Don't worry, Master. I cherish my life very much. I will go back to the fairyland with you."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "Go quickly and come back quickly. If you find anything suspicious, report back immediately! Be careful not to eat anything carelessly, and don't drink the water here!"

"Okay, got it." The fat rat squeaked and ran away.

Jiang Li asked the little eagle to fly over Zhujia Village a few times to see what the situation was like in the village.

"Chengfeng, be careful and don't fly too low. If you see anything suspicious, don't get close. Come back and tell me right away."

"Okay, sister." The little eagle spread its wings and flew high into the sky.

The fat rat was responsible for the outer area of ​​Zhujia Village, and the little eagle was responsible for the inner area. Jiang Li then lay in ambush and waited for news from them.

After taking a bath and disinfecting herself, Shen Muchun changed into clothes fumigated with mugwort and came to see Nangong Qinghe.

"I am honored to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" Shen Muchun bowed deeply.

Nangong Qinghe quickly helped him up: "Brother Jicheng, there is no need to be polite. What is the situation inside?"

Shen Muchun frowned: "It's not optimistic. Medicine and remedies are ineffective. A group of people die every day."

"What kind of epidemic is this that is so severe?" Nangong Qinghe was shocked.

Shen Muchun said: "Never seen it before."

He paused and whispered, "I suspect someone poisoned me."

After he went to the village and took the pulse of the villagers one by one, he felt that the condition was slightly different from the epidemic and the symptoms were more like poisoning - a man-made poison that could be transmitted through droplets.

Nangong Qinghe was horrified: "Poisoning?"

Who is so cruel and cruel as to poison a village and even want to turn the capital into a living hell?

"The source of the disease in the capital has been controlled, and then someone requested Your Highness to come in person..." Shen Muchun took a deep breath and frowned.

"I suspect this is a setup, a setup specifically targeting Your Highness!"

Nangong Qinghe was shocked and began to think carefully.

First poison Zhujia Village to create the appearance of an epidemic, and people from Zhujia Village will definitely go to the capital to seek medical treatment.

Upon learning that there was an epidemic in Zhujia Village, the emperor would definitely seal off the village.

As the epidemic in Zhujia Village worsened, a minister stepped forward and requested the prince to come in person.

Once he gets here, if we can poison him to death, we can blame it on the epidemic.

If he cannot be killed and the epidemic in Zhujia Village spreads further, he will have to obey the emperor's secret order and burn down Zhujia Village. Then this "bad reputation" will be directly pinned on him!

What a meticulous and vicious scheme, one link after another!

Nangong Qinghe gritted his teeth and said, "They have such vicious hearts!"

In order to bring him down, the entire village was buried with him!

The person behind the scenes is obvious. If he steps down, who will benefit? Either the King of Qi or the eldest prince!

Shen Muchun said: "Your Highness, please be patient. I will make a decision after discussing it with Lord Xie."

Shen Muchun went to see Xie Changan again.

After hearing what he said, Xie Changan's brows furrowed.

If this is a trap set against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how are they going to break it?

The only way is to catch the person who poisoned the food!

Shen Muchun said: "Brother Chang'an, you should be responsible for the prince's safety. You must be careful with the food and water you use. The person who poisoned you will definitely attack you as well."

He added: "I and a few fellow disciples will be responsible for detoxifying the poison and waiting for an opportunity to catch the person who poisoned it."

Xie Changan suddenly remembered Jiang Li's discovery and asked solemnly, "Could it be the poison from Miaojiang?"

He told Shen Muchun that Jiang Li had discovered that Nanny Gong had appeared in Prince Qi's villa.

Shen Muchun was shocked: "Didn't the East Factory issue a killing order? How dare she show up?"

Xie Changan said: "Sixteen is here too, I'll call her back and let her tell you in detail."

He walked out of the tent and informed Xiaoying in his mind: "Chengfeng, ask your sister to come back. We have something to discuss."

"Got it!" replied Kitty.

Soon, Jiang Li came back in a hurry: "Brother Changan, are you looking for me?"

She was also surprised to see Shen Muchun, "Brother Shen, are you okay?"

Shen Muchun looked her up and down, her eyes eager to try: "Sixteenth sister, do you want to verify whether your invulnerable copper skin and iron bones are also immune to all poisons?"

"Brother Shen, don't joke like that."

Xie Changan pulled Jiang Li to his side and looked at Shen Muchun warningly.

He then said to Jiang Li, "Tell Brother Shen about your discovery of Madam Gong's whereabouts."

Jiang Li was a little confused and looked at Xie Changan: What should I say? Should I tell him that it was Haozi who found it?

Xie Changan glanced at her: Is it not okay to just say that you discovered it?

Shen Muchun said dissatisfiedly: "What are you two fighting about with your eyes? If you want to express your feelings with your eyes, you can continue after I leave."

Jiang Li blushed slightly and said vaguely, "A few days ago, a woman entered the Qi Wang Mansion and disappeared after staying there for two days. I went back to the East Factory and saw the portrait, and found that she was the wanted Madam Gong!"

Shen Muchun asked suspiciously: "Haven't you seen that portrait before? How come you didn't recognize it?"

Jiang Li glared at Xie Changan and said, "Is it okay if I forget it? I only saw the portrait once, who would still remember it?"

Shen Muchun was half-believing and half-doubting: "Okay. Then the poison was most likely done by Gong."

He pondered, "Finally I have a direction. The poison in Miaojiang is ever-changing, and it takes a lot of effort to detoxify it. Let me and my fellow apprentices study it carefully before we decide."

Xie Changan also told Jiang Li that Shen Muchun suspected that the epidemic in Zhujia Village might be caused by poisoning.

"The person who poisoned the place is probably Gong." He frowned and said, "I will send a letter back to the capital and report this to Lord Governor."

Jiang Li thought for a moment and said, "I want to go to Zhujia Village."

"No!" Xie Changan rejected it flatly, "It's too dangerous."

Jiang Li smiled and said, "You forgot, I told you..."

Xie Changan hesitated: "You haven't tried it, what if..."

Seeing them talking like this, Shen Muchun couldn't help but get angry: "Don't just say half of it! Is there anything I can't listen to?"

Xie Changan said seriously: "Private conversation in the boudoir."

Shen Muchun choked and Jiang Li's face turned red.

Shen Muchun said sadly: "You two can bully me, a bachelor, but I will find ten or eight girls later!"

Jiang Li ignored him, pulled Xie Changan and said, "I'll be fine, let me go in and take a look!"

Xie Changan was puzzled: "Why do you insist on entering Zhujia Village?"
