He rushed here without stopping because Yu Deyi had secretly left the city. When He Jiabei found out, Yu Deyi was already on the way.

He also encountered it on his way here.

After He Jiabei drank two sips of water and recovered, he explained in detail.

"Where did he go?" Gao E frowned.

"He's forty miles from He County, disguised as a merchant, with many guards and servants." He Jiabei said apologetically, "I was careless."

Who would have thought that Yu Deyi was so afraid of death and stubborn, and loved to show off that he came here secretly to attend the Qingtan Yaji.

"You tried your best." Gao E did not blame He Jiabei.

She walked back and forth under the eaves twice, wondering whether she should discuss the matter with Du Weiqing. But in the end, she decided not to discuss it. If she did, more people would know about it.

"You go and rest first." Gao E looked at He Jiabei.

He Jiabei nodded, and He took him downstairs to rest.

Gao E looked at Ji Wuyang and said, "You know Yu Deyi. Just throw him into the mountains and don't let him out for three days."

Ji Wuyang finally realized: "You don't want him to attend the Qingtan Elegant Gathering?"

"Yeah." Gao E has always had this purpose.

With Yu Deyi's character, if I join in and it doesn't go my way, I don't know how many troubles he will find.

"Okay." Ji Wuyang nodded and left.

He Jiabei said that Yu Deyi disguised himself as a merchant and brought a lot of people with him, so he would be a big target and easier to find.

Ji Wuyang went to stop Yu Deyi, while Lu Qingluo and Luo Dagang followed Du Weiqing to Qingtan Yaji.

Gao E originally wanted to ask Que'er something, but Que'er and Ji Qiuniang also went to Qingtan Gorge.

These two people were enjoying the fun and didn't mind getting into trouble. One of them ran away without keeping an eye on anyone.

Gao E had no choice but to go find Cao Geng.

As a result, Cao Geng also attended such a grand event as the Qingtan Yaji.

Got it!

You are all elegant, just have fun.

As soon as Gao E got home after running a circle, Lu Qingluo hurried back on horseback.

"Where is Doctor Mu?" Lu Qingluo breathed a sigh of relief to see Gao E at home.

"We went to the medicine garden." Gao E rarely saw Lu Qingluo nervous. "What's wrong?"

"Many people have been poisoned." Lu Qingluo said hurriedly.

Gao E's nerves immediately tensed up: "You go to the medicine garden to find Doctor Mu, and I'll go find Uncle Xing."

Although Xingjia is not good at detoxification, he is a doctor after all.

The two men quickly found Mu Gonglao and Xingjia. Lu Qingluo took them to Qingtan Gorge, and Gao E followed.

Fortunately, Du Weiqing was not poisoned. When he saw Gao E and the others coming, he immediately came to greet them.

"Are you sure what was poisoned?" Gao E asked as she walked inside.

"Drinks." Du Weiqing has not been idle during this period.

"Then why didn't you get poisoned?" Gao E looked at Du Weiqing.

When the Qingtan Yaji begins, everyone drinks.

"Not all the wine jars are poisoned." Du Weiqing has already tested it.

"Has anyone left since the gathering began?" Gao E saw that the poisoned people had been gathered together.

Many people were vomiting in pain and trying hard to drink water.

This is a good way to detoxify.

Fortunately, no one has died yet.

"Seal off Qingtan Gorge, and have everyone come to the platform." Gao E ordered, "Check the people in Qingtan Gorge."

When Gao E came in, the scholars were wondering why a woman came. After Gao E gave the order, the scholars felt that Gao E was very rude. With so many people here, she had no right to speak.

But after Gao E finished speaking, all the servants in Qingtan Gorge began to do as Gao E instructed, and those scholars who wanted to scold Gao E immediately shut up.

"You mean the person who poisoned us is still in Qingtan Gorge?" Du Weiqing finally reacted.

"A jar of wine would be poured to many people. Since the wine jar was poisoned, it was indiscriminate poisoning. But not all the wine jars were poisoned. It must have been poisoned after the wine jars were delivered." Gao E analyzed.

"Yes." Du Weiqing reacted suddenly.

If he had thought of this at the beginning, perhaps the person who poisoned him would have been found.

When the people around heard Gao E say this, they thought about it and agreed.

"Who would poison so many people?" Huo Ji was also poisoned and was holding his stomach in pain.

"We'll know who it is once we find them." Gao E didn't make any guesses. "The person who poisoned me couldn't leave through the entrance, so they might have already gone into the mountains."

Everyone looked at each other. Gao E's words were very convincing, but once people entered the mountains, there would be no evidence.

Cao Geng was quite poisoned, so it was difficult for him to hear Gao E talking, but he still understood the general idea: "I will send the yamen runners to search the mountain."

Only then did Gao E see Cao Geng.

Even Cao Geng was poisoned, which means he was committing murder against an imperial official and could not escape the death penalty.

"A round trip takes too long." Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Luo Dagang, go to Luoyun Village and ask the young men to search the mountain together to find the person. Each person will receive one tael of silver, and if they find the person, they will receive another two taels."

"Okay." Luo Dagang went to Luoyun Village immediately.

Mu Gonglao and Xing Jia had already started rescuing people. Fortunately, these people were not seriously poisoned and induced vomiting in time, so their lives were not in danger.

After Lu Yong poisoned the food and hid in the mountains, he was exhausted and had to find a place to rest.

According to his guess, by now a large number of people had been poisoned and the situation was in chaos, so no one would look for him.

As glorious as he was when he came to He County last year, he is as miserable this year, and he even dares not let people recognize him.

He originally wanted to sneak into Qingtan Gorge, but the control was too strict and he had no chance at all.

So he gritted his teeth and simply climbed over the mountain.

However, there are no roads in most parts of this mountain area, and even if the mountain is not steep, it will be very difficult for him.

Fortunately, he finally managed to sneak in before the gathering began, and secretly poisoned the wine jar while everyone was busy before the gathering began.

The Qingtan Yaji will definitely not be able to be held after such a big incident, and no one will come in the future.

Chen Ke is also finished.

Thinking about this, Lu Yong couldn't help laughing, and the humiliation he had suffered in the past year seemed to disappear.

Soon Luo Dagang came in with dozens of young men, and Gao E asked them to search for traces themselves and conduct a carpet search.

Du Weiqing saw the people from Luoyun Village start to look for it, so he came over to Gao E and asked, "What if they can't find it?"

"Report to the police." Gao E said simply.

Du Weiqing took a look at the poisoned Lord Cao and felt that Lord Cao also wanted to report to the authorities.

"Is there any other way now?" Gao E asked in a low voice.

Du Weiqing hesitated for a moment and said, "How about asking Chen Ke to write a poem to appease these people?"

"My husband wanted to take the imperial examination. Now that he has suffered a great loss, if he is reported later, his official career will be over." Gao E objected directly.

Du Weiqing looked down on his career as an official: "His knowledge is really not good, far behind Jin Chao. You might as well hope that Jin Chao will pass the exam..." He paused here and said, "Jin Chao should have announced the results long ago, why hasn't he returned yet?"

"I failed the exam." Gao E forgot to tell Du Weiqing about this.
