general follow me

It has been four months since the last case of corruption-taking and bribery officials was wiped out. Liu Ran and the people of Suizhou lived and worked in peace and contentment. Shi Yu managed the border army in an orderly manner, and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.

In the palace, Qi Yu was looking at Zhezi, and suddenly called out, "Gathering troops along the coast?"

Qin Shu who was at the side desk stopped writing, raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

"This brochure says that there seems to be an unknown ship from the sea, approaching the shore." Qi Yu was shocked, "Who is so bold?"

"It's just a boat, not necessarily a gathering of soldiers. Maybe it's people from some desolate islands who want to go ashore by boat!" Qin Shu didn't care, and continued to do his own thing.

"No, I have to go and see for myself. Liudu is on the shore of the sea. This kind of situation has not happened here for many years. How could it be simply going ashore." Qi Yu frowned.

"No!" Qin Shu scolded, "As the king of a country, how can you leave the capital casually!"

Qi Yu suddenly smiled ambiguously, "Mo Nan, aren't you worried about me?"

Qin Shu said without changing his face, "I am indeed worried about the emperor, the emperor is the pillar of our court, there is no accident at all! Please think again, Your Majesty."

Qi Yu waved his hands and said, "Don't you know that when you come to persuade me as a courtier, I usually just listen to it, and the things that have been decided will not change. But if you come as Qin Monan..."

Qin Shu asked calmly, "Please also ask the emperor to let the humble minister go with you."

Qi Yu smiled contentedly. Anyway, he made money in the open and in the dark, and said, "Now, I will go to Liudu in the name of a micro-service private visit. Hey, Liudu is closer to Suizhou, and it is already November now." How about going to Suizhou to take Changli and Manting back to Beijing after leaving the capital? Mo Nan, what do you think?"

"Weichen thinks we can go to Suizhou first."

"Why?"

"That way General Shi can send someone to protect the emperor."

"..." He probably wanted him to return to Beijing earlier.

After receiving the secret letter, Liu Ran smiled and said: "I guess the emperor wanted to stay outside for a while, so he said he came to me on the way."

While drinking tea, Shi Yu answered the conversation unhurriedly: "The palace is lonely, it's normal for him to think about it."

"Oh? Isn't Master Qin accompanying him now?" Liu Ran asked.

"In the name of a courtier, but not in the name of Qin Shu."

"Then what about us?" Liu Ran asked casually, but he regretted it when he said it, what happened to him, could it be that he was influenced by the emperor's words?Are you talking only in your head now?Then he changed the subject and asked, "What is the general looking for me today?"

Shi Yu was not as deep as Liu Ran thought at all. After thinking for a while, he said, "It should be regarded as a friend." After a pause, he answered the next question, "There are people in the army who are sick. Today is the I want you to help me out."

Looking at Shi Yu's calm appearance, Liu Ran felt that she was really, too sensitive, and when she heard the latter sentence, she suddenly sighed, "If you told me like this, General, I wouldn't would jump off the wagon."

Shi Yu said indifferently, "We were not friends at the beginning."

"..." Liu Ran was helpless, "There is nothing to do today, so I will go to the barracks with you first."

"Ah."

The sick soldiers were all placed in one place, and coughing sounded continuously. Zhang Wei covered his face with a cloth and just brought out a basin of water. When he saw Liu Ran, he was a little surprised and said, "Master Liu? Why are you here?" gone?"

Liu Ran glanced at Shi Yu next to him, and said helplessly, "Your general asked me to be a military doctor for a while."

"Ah! Master Liu, you should be careful, this disease will be contagious. The old military doctor who treated the brothers before was infected, and even the treatment can't cure it."

Liu Ran took out a piece of cloth to cover her face, and said to Shi Yu, "I'll go in and have a look." Seeing that Shi Yu had already covered his face, he said rationally, "Since you are the 'military doctor' I invited over, then I will take a look." Make sure you are unharmed, go in."

"..."

In the camp, the soldiers who were arranged here were staggering, their lips were purple and black, and they had big blisters on their bodies. They were somewhat similar to the emperor's symptoms, but they hadn't reached the emperor's unconsciousness.

"You found out too?" Shi met Liu Ran thoughtfully and asked.

"Well, I guess they don't have the same old disease as the emperor, so the degree is slightly milder. Although the emperor is more serious, he will not be infected. So it is possible that someone poisoned them premeditatedly, rather than being bitten by insects as I said at the beginning. Alright." Liu Ran said, analyzing as he walked, "There are still traces on the body after the insect bites, but poisoning is different, and poisoning is possible under any circumstances. I will write out the prescription first, two prescriptions, one Take one piece internally and one piece externally."

"Okay." Shi Yu asked, "Is there anything else I should pay attention to?"

"It's gone for now, but general, can you think about it, where did the emperor go the day he was poisoned?"

Shi Yu thought for a while, and said, "I have received envoy Yuesang in the imperial garden, and the rest of the time, the emperor and I have been staying in the palace."

Moon Sang?Is it Yuesang again?Even the emperor can secretly poison, Yue Sang is really on the verge of something lately.If the poison was placed by the Yuesang people, when was it placed?How did you download it?Where did you download it?Or is there a spy of Yue Sang in this military camp?

Questions came one after another, Liu Ran couldn't help but feel a little headache, everything pointed to Yue Sang, all the clues gathered in one direction, not to mention the emperor and the border army, but where did the Liu family provoke Yue Sang?

"Zhang Wei!" Shi met Zhang Wei who came over to drink a basin of clean water again, stopped him, and asked, "When did everyone start to have symptoms?"

Liu Ran couldn't help but glanced at Shi Yu, it seemed that Shi Yu also had some doubts about Yue Sang.

"Back to the general, I don't know the exact time, it seems to be the second day after going to Suizhou city." Zhang Wei thought for a while.

"To Suizhou City?" Liu Ran asked.

"That's right! On the day of the Xiayuan Festival, the common people gathered together for dinner after praying, so I asked some brothers who often go to the city if they can go. I was on the night shift that day, so it's a pity!"

"Xiayuan Festival? On the fifteenth day?" Liu Ran asked.

"Correct!"

So many people eat together in the next Yuan Festival, why are the soldiers only poisoned?Is there anything else I haven't noticed?It seems that they can only ask when they wake up.

After a few days, the soldiers who took the medicine gradually got better and gradually remembered some things.

"Think about it carefully, is there anything strange that day?" Liu Ran asked.

"Strange place? No! We were all sitting apart, and we didn't eat anything other than some common food. Oh! We also drank some rice wine. I heard that it was brewed by ourselves, and it was quite delicious."

"rice wine?"

"That's right, in the middle of the banquet, everyone poured a bowl. I heard it's a tradition in Suizhou. The waiter who delivered the wine seemed to be a newcomer. His hands were trembling when he poured the wine. Look at it." It’s not just getting started.”

Liu Ran suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly asked, "Did the banquet end when you left?"

"No," the soldier glanced at Shi Yu who was standing beside him, and said with a smile, "Since General Shi came, we dare not stay outside for too long at night."

Liu Ran knew it in her heart, so she said to Shi Yu, "I want to check on this new Xiaoer next, General, you...?"

Shi Yu took it for granted, "If someone did it on purpose, then I will be with you. After all, if something happened to the military camp, most of the responsibility lies with me."

"Alright." Liu Ran said, "But General, the process may be a bit boring."

"It's okay."

Liu Ran and Shi Yu asked each family about the specific content of the banquet that day.Most of the people who remember said that the military men left before the banquet ended, and at the end of the banquet, they would still pour a bowl of rice wine, but unfortunately the military men did not drink it, and the bowl of rice wine at the end was sweeter than the previous one on many.

"That makes sense," Liu Ran said, "why the common people are not poisoned but only the officials are poisoned."

"Oh?"

"The first bowl of rice wine is poisonous, and the person who poisoned it seems to have expected that they would leave first, so put the antidote in the second bowl." Liu Ran laughed.

"reason?"

"Then I'm afraid I have to ask the waiter who pours wine." Liu Ran smiled mysteriously.

A weather-beaten house stood quietly at the end of the alley. It was said that Xiaoer lived here. Liu Ran and Shi Yu came to the house and knocked on the dilapidated wooden door.

"Why is there such a strong smell of dung?" Liu Ran frowned, "Looking at this, I guess the person should have run away. Let's see if there are any clues."

"Ah."

Liu Ran walked slowly to the backyard, the smell of feces in the air became heavier and heavier, suddenly he saw a figure sitting under the tree, his body was covered in black lumps.At this moment, he realized that there was a trace of rancid smell mixed with the smell of dung, and he couldn't help but shouted, "General! Here!"

When Shi Yu asked, he came and frowned inadvertently when he saw this scene.

"He has been dead for many days. It is estimated that he was silenced on the night of the Xiayuan Festival. This feces is probably intended to cover the smell of the corpse so that he will not be discovered prematurely." Liu Ran analyzed, "Yes, the clue It just broke. The corpse was poured with feces like this, and after so many days of rotting, no obvious wound can be seen."

Shi Yu frowned and asked, "Have you checked his details?"

"I checked, it used to be from the Southwest..." Liu Ran suddenly thought of something, Southwest?Xiu Wang Qi Jin's fief is in the southwest, is this a coincidence?

"What? What did you think of?" When Shi met his expression changing, he couldn't help asking.

"It's nothing, it's just some old things. For the present, we can only bury him first." Liu Ran felt more and more that his head was not enough.

"it is good."
