Lord, your grass jelly has slipped away again [Transmigration Book]

On the other side, Yue Yichuan, the magistrate of Guangling, and Feng Yihai, the disaster relief envoy, were standing at the gate of the post house, waiting for Gu Yan to return.Yue Yichuan was a little older, and his hair was already grizzled.And Feng Yihai is slightly younger than him, but he should have passed his forties.

Yue Yichuan sighed gloomily: "The situation is so critical now, why do you think Prince Rui...why bother to work so hard for a servant."

"Then where is the boy." Feng Yihai stroked his beard and mocked lightly, "I heard that when he was in Yi'an, Prince Rui went in and out with the young man next to him. No one with a discerning eye can tell what is the relationship between them?"

Yue Yichuan was startled: "You mean..."

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But I heard that Prince Rui just married Princess Wang not long ago, and the two of them are very affectionate."

"Master Yue, you ask me who should I ask?" Feng Yihai said, "When I was in Chang'an, I was fortunate enough to meet Princess Narui once. Although I watched it from a distance, I did see the unwavering love between the prince and the concubine. .But how can a prince or noble have a special love for one person, and Prince Rui is such a romantic and talented person, it is not unusual to have one or two concubines."

Yue Yichuan sighed, and said: "If it were as usual, Prince Rui would have found as many beauties as he wanted, but now at this juncture... Sigh."

Feng Yihai smiled and said: "How else can I say it, a beauty is a disaster."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of rolling ruts came from behind him.The two turned their heads to look at the same time, and the carriage that Gu Yan was riding was slowly driving towards them.

The carriage stopped at the gate of the post house, and the two of them stepped forward, lifted the curtain for Gu Yan, and then saw Gu Yan get off the carriage with the rumored "beautiful beauty" in his arms.

The wound on Ye Zi's neck was not deep, and the bleeding had stopped. Gu Yan was still worried, and after applying the medicine to him, he wrapped it up with gauze, which looked very serious.

Feng Yihai immediately changed his appearance just now, stepped forward earnestly, and said in amazement: "Young master is injured? That thief is so brave, he even dared to hurt the people around the prince."

Yue Yichuan saw him turning his face like turning over a book, and was speechless for a moment, standing where he was without saying a word.Gu Yan didn't look at the two of them at all, and walked straight to the posthouse.The two looked at each other behind him and hurriedly followed.

Gu Yan carried Ye Zi into the room, put Ye Zi on the bed, then glanced at the two gods standing at the door, and said helplessly, "Wait for me."

Ye Zi nodded, Gu Yan turned his head and left the inner room.

Gu Yan walked up to the two of them and said, "What else do you two adults do?"

Yue Yichuan hesitated for a moment, then said: "My lord, that plague..."

Gu Yan interrupted him lightly: "Didn't I already tell you that it was a coincidence that the plague was cured in Yi'an earlier. There is no prescription, and I can't come up with medicine to cure the people in other areas."

"This..." Yue Yichuan paused, then sighed, "But seeing that the plague is spreading day by day, if it continues like this...how can this be good."

Gu Yan glanced at him and said, "What are your opinions, my lords?"

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Yue Yichuan said truthfully: "Even you have nothing to do, let alone the lower officials. Why don't you make up your mind?"

Gu Yan pressed his eyebrows impatiently.

Today he was invited to the magistrate's mansion, and the three of them quarreled all morning over this issue like throwing a football, which made him unable to come back for a long time, and almost put Ye Zi in danger.

Now again.

Feng Yihai said: "My lord, I have an idea, I don't know whether to say it or not."

"You said."

Feng Yihai didn't rush to speak, but subconsciously looked around.

Several people are standing in the corridor of the post house now, it is really inappropriate to talk about these things.Gu Yan understood, and turned sideways to give way: "My lords, please come in."

The three sat down outside the bedroom, Feng Yihai saw that Gu Yan didn't mean to shy away from the person in the inner room, so he said: "Actually, there have been similar examples before. If we still can't find a cure for the plague, we might as well... people."

Gu Yan lowered his eyes: "Master Feng, what do you mean... Let me follow the example of the plague in Chang'an 20 years ago?"

For the plague in Chang'an 20 years ago, the person in charge of dealing with it was the present emperor, who was still the second prince's Emperor Jinghe at that time.

At that time, Emperor Jinghe ordered all the patients to be driven to the suburbs, and they were burned to the ground, which curbed the further spread of the plague.

This is also the final destination of this plague in Gu Yan's previous life.

Yue Yichuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Master Feng, this is absolutely impossible, now five or six counties are in crisis, so..."

"But if this is not the case, do you want to allow the plague to spread and harm more people?" Feng Yihai stroked his beard and advised, "My lord, you must not lose the big because of the small."

Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "This is a big matter, and I don't dare to make a claim. How about this, I will write a note and pass it to the Holy Majesty. If the Holy Majesty agrees, I will follow what Master Feng said."

"But--"

Yue Yichuan wanted to say something more, but Feng Yihai said with a smile: "What the prince said is very true."

He took out a memorial from his pocket and put it in front of Gu Yan: "The official has already drawn up a memorial, writing the situation here and the countermeasures in it, and asking the prince to look at it. If the prince thinks there is no problem, the official Now we can send someone to send it to Chang'an and present it to the imperial court."

Gu Yan opened the memorial, scanned it quickly, and said with a smile: "Master Feng is really well prepared, so let's send it like this."

Feng Yihai replied: "Yes."

"Impossible!" Yue Yichuan blushed with anger, and charged at the case, "My lord, do you know how many innocent lives will be killed if you set fire to the city? The people in the south of the Yangtze River have already been in dire straits. Is it?"

Gu Yan looked at him indifferently: "If it's not like this, what other options can Mr. Yue have?"

"I...you, you—"

Yue Yichuan was so angry that he couldn't speak, Feng Yihai patted him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Master Yue, don't worry, the prince did this for the safety of the people. It is better to sacrifice the lives of a few people than to harm the majority of people." Well done."

He said, then turned his head to look at Gu Yan: "If you are an official, don't disturb the prince's rest, and leave first."

Gu Yan nodded: "Okay."

Feng Yihai pulled Yue Yichuan out, when Gu Yan suddenly said: "By the way, Mr. Yue, I have captured the kidnappers earlier and locked them in the prison of the government office. Let them stay with you for a few days, and wait This king..."

Gu Yan glanced at the inner room, and said: "After the king has settled his private affairs, he will go to the interrogation in two days."

Yue Yichuan's face turned red and then pale, he snorted coldly, turned his head and went out the door.

"Master Yue has a straight temper, don't blame the prince, I persuade him to go." Feng Yihai said to Gu Yan in a low voice, exited the bedroom, and closed the door for them.

The room returned to silence, Ye Zi walked out of the inner room, and looked in the direction of the door angrily: "That dog official..."

Gu Yan smiled indifferently, and waved to him: "Come here."

Ye Zi walked up to him and sat down, and said, "Didn't he force you to set fire to the city? He even prepared the memorial, he—"

"Okay," Gu Yan stroked his hair, and said in a warm voice, "Don't worry, I'll send Si Wei to send someone to go there in a while, and the book won't reach Emperor Jinghe."

Ye Zi felt relieved, and said, "Then what shall we do next? Should we just wait like this?"

"The bait has already been cast out, let's just wait for the net to be collected." Gu Yan said, "Are you tired, let me go in with you and lie down for a while?"

"it is good."

As night fell, Guangling City was peaceful.

In the government office prison, the sound of coughing and panting could be heard faintly.Ah Qing sat on her knees in the prison, supporting the man beside her who was coughing up blood, and said with tears in her voice, "Brother, brother, if you hold on a little longer, there will be a solution."

At this moment, the door of the prison was suddenly opened, and someone walked in.

Ah Qing hurriedly climbed to the cell door, and called out: "My lord, my lord, please save my elder brother, he is about to die, you—"

Footsteps gradually came in, and the candlelight on the wall danced, illuminating the face in the darkness.

Ah Qing's voice stopped abruptly.

The visitor bent down a little, smiled at Ah Qing and said, "Of course we have to save him, so why don't we come here to save him?"

After he finished speaking, the guard beside him stepped forward and put a food box on the ground.The food box was opened, and there were several bowls of water inside.At the same time, someone stepped forward and opened the cell door.

Ah Qing's pupils shrank slightly, and subconsciously hid back: "You, don't come here...don't come here!"

"You kidnapped the people around Lord Rui without permission. They deserved to die. Now that you are suffering from an epidemic and died in prison, no one else should suspect it." The man paused and ordered, "Do it."

"No, don't, don't!" Ah Qing hurriedly fled back, but was caught by the guards, who pulled her up by her hair.

The guard was about to feed the bowl of water into Ah Qing's mouth, when suddenly something flew out from the dark and hit the guard's arm pouring the medicine.The guard let go of the pain, the medicine bowl fell to the ground and shattered.

"Who?" The man's expression changed, and someone came out of the shadows.

Gu Yan raised his eyes to look at him, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly: "Who sent you here, to come here to interrogate the prisoner at such a late hour, you really did your duty."

In a Biezhuang in the city, a body silently skimmed over the wall and jumped into the courtyard.It was nearly midnight, and the house was still brightly lit, but the yard was extremely dark, and there was no light at all.

Ye Zi was standing under the wall, a swallow rested on his shoulder, fluttering its wings and chirping around him.

"That's the one, right, I know." Ye Zi stroked its feathers, and laughed in a low voice, "Don't worry, it'll be fine, do you birds talk so much?"

Little Yanzi pecked lightly on his finger, as if expressing her dissatisfaction with the words.

Ye Zi smiled and said nothing more.He looked at the place Yanzi had just pointed at. Not far away, several servants were digging the soil.

Ye Zi stepped forward and asked, "Brother, what are you doing?"

The man didn't raise his head, and said: "Master Feng ordered that the flowers and plants in this yard are not good-looking, let us plant some other flowers and plants, and dig out the old ones and throw them away. We have been working all afternoon, why are you still have no idea--"

His voice stopped abruptly, he raised his head, and met Ye Zi's smiling face.

The man was stunned for a moment, and was about to call someone, when Ye Zi raised his hand and knocked him on the back of the neck.Seeing this change, the few people around him didn't have time to react, and were soon subdued by Ye Zi in the same way.

After putting them aside, Ye Zi bent down and observed carefully for a moment.The flower garden in this yard is full of various flowers and plants. At first glance, it looks like a colorful bunch of flowers, but upon closer inspection, the flowers and plants are densely planted and messy, without any order.

Ordinary people don't grow flowers like this.

Ye Zi tilted his head and thought about it, then squatted down and rummaged through the soil.

In Zhuangzi's front yard, Feng Yihai paced back and forth in the study, looking extremely anxious.There was a faint noise coming from outside the door, which made Feng Yihai even more upset.

He couldn't bear it anymore and yelled out the door: "Come here, what's the noise outside?"

The door was quickly pushed open, and someone walked in.The person who came was the servant who was guarding outside Feng Yihai's study, his face was pale at the moment, and his expression was awkward.

Feng Yihai frowned and said, "Speak, what's going on outside?"

"It's nothing outside, it's just that this king has taught a few ignorant subordinates for Master Feng." Gu Yan stepped into the door slowly, and the original servant's legs softened and he knelt down on the ground.

The servant said in a trembling voice: "My lord, the prince suddenly brought someone in, and I, we can't stop it..."

Feng Yihai's eyes narrowed slightly, and he tried to calm down and said, "My lord, is there any misunderstanding?"

Gu Yan smiled and said: "I just patrolled the prison at night and found that someone was preparing to poison the prisoner. After the interrogation, I found out that the person was actually sent by Mr. Feng. Is this a misunderstanding?"

"This... This is of course a misunderstanding." Feng Yihai said, "What kind of poison is being poisoned, I don't know anything about it."

The smile in Gu Yan's eyes subsided, and he said: "Then I wonder if Mr. Feng can let this king search your house?"

Feng Yihai said: "It's natural, my lord please."

Gu Yan took Feng Yihai for a leisurely stroll in the courtyard, and asked: "Master Feng just bought this courtyard when he came to Guangling some time ago, it's not bad."

"Yes, yes, the official wanted to stay here for a while, so he set up this courtyard."

Gu Yan responded, but did not answer.

The two walked towards the backyard. Gu Yan frowned and looked at the dirt that had just been turned over in the yard, and asked, "Master Feng, what's going on with your backyard?"

Feng Yihai said: "Isn't it just that the yard has been installed and someone has been hired to renovate it. The flowers and plants have not been planted yet, so it looks...a bit barren. My lord, the yard is very messy, you might as well go elsewhere first... "

"Why go somewhere else, isn't everything here?" A lazy voice sounded, and the two looked up. Ye Zi was squatting on the roof tiles, looking at them with her head tilted.

He jumped down, patted the dirt on his body, and pointed to the flower garden not far away: "My lord, please take a look, I found everything."

The same plant was piled high on the small patch of flower garden.The flowers are white and pink, and the stamens are light yellow. It is exactly what Ye Zi just dug out from many kinds of flowers and plants.

That flower is the root cause of this epidemic.

It's impossible to do anything in this world without leaving traces, but it's hard to find it by manpower alone.Ye Zi was able to communicate with flowers and birds. After searching all the flowers and birds with spiritual consciousness in Guangling City, he really found some traces.

Feng Yihai said loudly: "Why are you here? I don't even know what that flower is. How can you say it was poisoned by me!"

Ye Zi blinked, and said innocently, "I only said that I found something, not that you poisoned it."

"you--"

He walked up to the two of them and said to Feng Yihai: "But, since the thing is with you, you can't get rid of it. Mr. Feng, can you tell me and the prince why this kind of poisonous flower that only exists in the Western Regions will Why did you dig it up overnight when it was planted in your yard?"

"I--"

Feng Yihai couldn't argue with his words, Ye Zi didn't wait for him to answer, and said again: "You bought this yard when you first came to Guangling, and planted the poisonous flowers you brought from Chang'an in the yard. You are not sure about the efficacy of this medicine, so I found a group of fleeing people to test the medicine. After the test was successful, you began to poison everywhere, causing the plague to prevail, am I right?"

Feng Yihai said: "Nonsense, why would I do this?"

"Of course you want to do this." Ye Zi said, "You and my lord were sent here to relieve the disaster, but the plague broke out again before the disaster was over. The chaos here is getting bigger and bigger. Sooner or later, the lord will be held accountable to the lord. By then , if you think of a way to cure the plague here, the credit will be all on you, am I right?"

"Full of nonsense, what evidence do you have!"

"No." Ye Zi shrugged and said, "But this kind of thing, you will know after the first trial, right?"

Gu Yan looked down at Ye Zi, smiled lightly and shook his head, then turned around and called for an attendant.

"Shut up in the prison, and hand over these flowers and plants to Master Yue." After Gu Yan ordered, he said lightly, "Who gave you this flower, and who gave you the idea of ​​poisoning, go to the prison to live Tell me."

After finishing the arrangements, Gu Yan dragged Ye Zi away from Zhuangzi.

After getting into the carriage, Ye Zi was still a little worried: "My lord, why don't you keep an eye on it, in case that Lord Zhizhou does something..."

Gu Yan glanced at him and said, "How do I go, do I take you with me?"

Ye Zi wondered: "So what, can't I go?"

Gu Yan looked at him deeply, then chuckled suddenly, and stretched out his hand to rub Ye Zi's face.Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, then looked down, and there was a small, shallow stain on Gu Yan's fingertips.

Just now in order to search for the flower, Ye Zi crawled around in the flower garden, not one face or body was spared.Especially that fair face, now covered with mud, with a big painted face, no different from a little tabby cat.

Ye Zi let out an "ah", and immediately realized what state he was in, quickly wiped his face with his sleeve, and broke down, "You you you—why didn't you tell me, I just said that in front of that dog official Talk too much, I'm ashamed..."

Gu Yan suppressed a smile, took out a silk handkerchief and dipped some warm water to help him wipe his face, and comforted him: "It's okay, it was dark just now, so I couldn't see clearly. Besides, Mr. Feng is hard to protect himself, how can he have the time to pay attention to what you look like?"

Ye Zi lowered his head, let Gu Yan wipe his face clean, and said aggrievedly, "I thought it was rare for me to be handsome, why is this..."

In this classic scene where the evidence is solid on the spot and the prisoner is caught, shouldn't the protagonist come out handsomely, and then take him down handsomely?

Why is it not quite right when I come to him?

Gu Yan said helplessly: "Okay, let's go back to take a bath and change clothes first, let's rest earlier, you will be tired later."

Ye Zi blinked and talked about the conditions: "Then I want you to wait for me to take a bath."

In the past, before the misunderstanding between the two was resolved, Gu Yan used various opportunities to deliberately bully Ye Zi and force Ye Zi to serve him.But ever since the two of them talked about the matter, Ye Zi became more and more unafraid of Gu Yan, and always liked to order the high-ranking Prince Rui to do this and that for him, but Gu Yan still enjoyed it.

The clean room was filled with steam, Ye Zi squinted his eyes and leaned on the tub, feeling drowsy from the comfort.

Gu Yan patiently helped him wash off the dirt on his body. He neither looked at other places nor fumbled, and remained unafraid.Ye Zi frowned dissatisfied, and looked at him with his head tilted.

Recently, Gu Yan has always been like this to him.

A few days ago it was said that he was not in good health, and later he was busy with work, every time Ye Zi wanted to get closer to him, that person would always find various reasons to shirk.Although they hug each other and sleep all day long, they haven't been really close for a long time.

The more Ye Zi thought about it, the more dissatisfied she became, and she couldn't help calling out, "Zi Cheng..."

Gu Yan looked up at him: "Why, did it hurt you?"

"No." Ye Zi pursed her lips, but still couldn't say what was on her lips.

If you ask him directly, isn't it too reserved?

Ye Zi thought for a while, then changed the subject: "Zicheng, I remember that you sent a letter to Daoist Guangxu earlier, did he talk about Xianlu? What else did he say... I kind of forgot .”

Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and said: "He said that your fairy dew can cure hundreds of poisons, and asked me to add it to the plague medicine. One drop can be enough for a city. Other than that..."

Ye Zi asked, "Other than that?"

Gu Yan glanced at him, and replied truthfully: "Besides, he told me that after losing the fairy dew, your vitality will be damaged, so let me take care of you."

The side of Ye Zi's face was reddened by the water vapor, and he asked slowly, "What's the...care method?"

Having said this, Gu Yan still doesn't understand what he wants to say.Gu Yan bent down and said with a smile: "Daoist Guangxu said that Taoism has a method of double cultivation, which can help restore vitality. You are a fairy grass, and the method of collecting yin and nourishing yang will be of great help to your vitality. You just want to hear this ,right?"

Ye Zi blushed even more, and stammered, "I didn't, I just...just to make sure. Zicheng, will you do what he says?"

"That will have to wait until you really use Xianlu to save people." Gu Yandao, "Unless it is absolutely necessary, I don't want you to use this method of hurting your body. I will meet with the emperor tomorrow. No, it's not too late for us to discuss..."

Ye Zi let out a disappointed "Oh" and didn't say anything else.

Before going to bed, someone knocked on the door of the two's bedroom.Gu Yan went to open the door, but it was Gu Yi standing outside the door.

It was already late at night, but Gu Yi was fully dressed, as if he was about to go out.Gu Yan looked him up and down, and turned to let him into the room.

Gu Yi entered the room unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb you two, but I'm leaving Guangling soon, and if I don't come to see you, I'm afraid I won't have a chance to meet you."
