As soon as Wei Zhao left, Gao Jili walked lightly into the bedroom: "Your Highness, get up for supper."

He specially wrapped the freshly baked mung bean cake with three layers of oil paper, and brought it in in his arms. It was still very hot.

Behind the bed curtain, Mu Yun, who was concentrating on being "comatose", slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were clear and bright, first he stretched lazily, and then sat up yawning, he didn't look half poisoned.

Gao Jili glanced up and down by the candlelight, and made sure that His Highness had all beards and tails, and that he had not been avenged by the Duke of Dingbei, so he was secretly relieved, and hurriedly shook off his cloak to wrap up his golden and precious little Highness tightly, feeling distressed Said: "Are you hungry?"

It's all because of Zhou Shen, who is a mother-in-law and stubborn, who sticks to the bedroom and doesn't leave. He took a lot of effort to trick him into the back kitchen to cook medicine.

The boy nodded, took out a piece of mung bean cake from the oil-paper bag, and gnawed slowly, bite by bite.In Gao Jili's eyes, he looked like a little wild cat that got lost on a rainy day, lived on the street, and hadn't eaten for several days.Indescribably weak and pitiful.

Gao Jili's eyes turned red in disappointment.

Mu Yun asked strangely, "Why are you crying?"

Gao Jili wiped his eyes with his sleeve, choked up and said, "My servant loves His Highness."

In order to break the enemy's conspiracy, he did not hesitate to take risks and poisoned himself. Afterwards, without even a chance to breathe, he fell into the clutches of his arch-rival, Dingbeihou.I'm afraid I can't find such a poor prince in the history books.

Mu Yun didn't feel that he was pitiful at all, but rather pitied his eldest brother who was still dying on the hospital bed.

Even if he was poisoned ten times and a hundred times more, he would vomit a few mouthfuls of blood at most.

His poor elder brother, in addition to palpitations, may suffer from insomnia and dreaminess.

The candle shadow was cast on the bed curtain, just covering half of the young man's Ruyu side face.In the dark, the corner of the young man's mouth curled slightly, and he finished eating the second piece of mung bean cake in a very pleasant mood.

If people don't offend me, I won't offend others. If people offend me... then let's play hard together.

Satisfied, Mu Yun began to eat the third piece of mung bean cake.When Zhou Shen came back with the freshly brewed soup, he saw that the ground was still clean when he left, but now there were a few pea green residues on the ground for no reason, and he suspected that there was a rat infestation in the mansion.

Another day, Wang Dajin, who sells rat poison in the backstreet, will have to come and clean up the house.

The little mouse is getting more and more cowardly now!

……

When a line of white belly in the east tore the first opening in the dark sky, a figure quietly appeared at the corner of the street, looking intently at the Great Prince's Mansion not far away.

The gate of the mansion was empty, only two servants were dozing lazily. It was not guarded by vicious Northern Xinjiang cavalry as rumored by the neighbors in the street.

Wang Adou clenched his fists excitedly.The boss's information is wrong, he has to hurry up and complete the task, lest this fat job is snatched by others.

After all, in the years of Taiping, the common people lived affluent lives, and their hearts were extraordinarily kind. They were willing to give more rice and noodles to beggars.As a result, the industry of beggars has risen, and the competition has become more and more fierce. If the performance is not completed well, they may be directly expelled from the beggar status by the stern and ruthless boss.

He has already completed the quota task for this month. If he successfully wins this order again, he might be able to rush to No.1 and get two pieces of bacon as a reward.That is the wild black pig bacon made by the old master. Everyone who has eaten it says it is delicious.

As if he had seen the delicious bacon waving his small hands in front of him, Wang Adou cheered himself up, leaned against the wall with his waist bent, and approached the eldest prince's mansion nimbly.

The two servants slept more soundly than the other, and they really didn't notice it.Wang Adou touched the front of the mansion lightly, glanced around, and made sure that no one found him, so he reached out and took out a long wooden box from his arms, put it on the most conspicuous stone lion at the door, and Carefully pressed a note.

Rounding off, he is also a person who has entered the prince's mansion, and he can play for at least half a year when he goes back.

Wang Adou was humming a little tune with great ambition, and was about to retreat along the route he came from when his eyes went dark, and he was pressed to the ground in a hurry and put into a sack.

"Master Hou, someone has been caught."

Across the sack, Wang Adou heard a loud voice.

Until he was tied up and thrown into a strange room, Wang Adou still didn't understand how he was discovered.But he knew that in this month's performance appraisal, he would not be able to eat the black pork marinated by the boss himself.

Wang Adou raised his head tremblingly, and first saw a very large desk, made of the best unknown wood, sitting on the chair behind the desk was a man, only 27 or [-] years old, wearing a collar embroidered with a delicate unicorn The silver and white arrow gown with black and white patterns, his appearance is beautiful, his eyes are cold, and he is not angry and majestic.

A soldier with a knife hanging on his waist presented the wooden box and the note he had put on the stone lion. The man glanced at him casually, then stretched out two slender fingers, and tapped on the table leisurely. Face: "Who asked you to send it?"

For some reason, the two fingers that knocked on the case were clearly moving gracefully and with gentle force, but Wang Adou vaguely felt that if those fingers were knocking on his head at this moment, poking a bloody hole would be no problem at all.

"No, no one asked me to give it to me. The little one wanted to give it to me."

Everything I have is given by my boss, without my boss, without the letter of joining the gang with the little red stamp on it, my life would be so bleak.Out of absolute loyalty to the boss, Wang Adou decided to take all the charges alone.

However, the young man sitting on the grand teacher's chair laughed, not at all moved by his heroic act of loyalty to the Lord.

Wang Adou felt that his personality had been deeply insulted.

"Read it to Ben Hou, what is written on it?"

Wei Zhao casually picked up the note and threw it in front of Wang Adou, with a kind and gentle tone.

Wang Adou looked at the note that dangled and fell to his knees, and his personality was hit again.

He only cared about loyally protecting the boss, but forgot one very important thing.

He is illiterate!

"Don't want to read it?" Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Then you should know the rules and regulations of the dynasty. Do you know what crime should be theft?"

Wei Zhao clicked on the wooden box: "The things in this box are worth at least a thousand gold. You, a little beggar for a living, didn't steal it, did you rob it?"

Wang Adou opened his mouth wide.

One, one thousand gold, when his performance was the best, he earned five taels of silver for the boss, a total of five thousand copper coins, which couldn't be filled in ten jars.A thousand gold, he couldn't imagine how much that would cost.

At this time, Doctor Zhang turned around from the back hall excitedly, holding something black in his hand: "Master Hou, it is really a golden snake gall, which is designed to control Manjushri, and the eldest prince's poison can Solved!"

Wang Adou vaguely felt that he was related to something extremely dangerous.

I heard the young Marquis say: "That's right. The eldest prince was poisoned and comatose, and he was in danger, and the things you sent just happened to be able to detoxify the eldest prince. The note clearly stated the usage and dosage. Benhou now There is every reason to suspect that you are the one who poisoned you. Murdering the prince is a serious crime against the nine clans, and the mastermind will be punished with a thousand swords, Wang Adou, are you still going to do it?"

Wang Adou's body softened, only then did he realize that the moment he approached the eldest prince's mansion, one foot had stepped into the gate of hell, and he was sweating profusely, and said in a daze: "Tricks, small tricks."

According to Wang Adou, the note, the box, and the contents of the box were all ordered by his boss, a beggar leader named Zhang Dawang.Zhang Dawang is an ambitious beggar. Seeing that the team of the beggar gang is growing day by day, and the members of the gang are not only satisfied with the basic needs of food and clothing, but also have higher requirements for living standards, he takes advantage of the beggar gang's natural ability to walk around the streets and alleys. Based on its advantages, it has actively developed many branch businesses, such as inquiring about news, running errands and delivering letters to the old lady, and delivering meals for the wife to the husband who is working outside.Anyway, I have to go to beg for food, so why not do it to earn two extra copper coins along the way.

Wang Adou is quick in his hands and feet, sweet in mouth, and clever in handling things, and he is deeply liked by Zhang Dawang on weekdays.He was sleeping last night when Zhang Dawang picked him up suddenly, saying that he had an important task to do.

"The boss said that the matter is very difficult. I need to send some things to the eldest prince's mansion, and it must be done before dawn. The prince's mansion must be heavily guarded, and I might lose my head. At first, the boss didn't want to take this business, but the other party's move is too serious. It was too generous, so I paid a deposit of 50 taels of silver without saying a word, and there was still 50 taels of silver after the matter was completed. The boss asked me if I would like to do it."

Wei Zhao asked, "Do you know the identity of that customer?"

Wang Adou shook his head: "Big customers like this are all discussed by the boss himself."

Wei Zhao waved his hand and ordered Wang Adou to be taken down, and ordered two soldiers to arrest Zhang Dawang.

Compared with his younger brother Wang Adou, Zhang Dawang, who is the leader of the gang, is very sensible.

"Hou Ye is wise, Hou Ye is martial, even if Hou Ye doesn't open his mouth, the little one is going to surrender himself. That stinky Taoist priest is obviously not a good thing. It's all because the villain was blinded by the 100 taels of silver, so he took it in his own way. This obviously improper business put A Dou in danger. A Dou lost his father at the age of three and his mother at the age of five, and he followed me when he was six years old. He is a poor child..."

Wei Zhao was not interested in listening to him crying about the affectionate love between elder and younger brother, so he just frowned and asked, "You said the person who asked you to deliver the things was a Taoist priest?"

Zhang Dawang stopped crying abruptly, and said cleverly: "He claims to be a businessman from other places, but I knew he was a Taoist priest at a glance."

"how to say?"

"The three generations of the little one's ancestors all started Taoism. Even if he was turned into ashes, the little one can still smell the scent of thread in his ashes."

"..."

After finally finding an opportunity to save his younger brother, Zhang Dawang tried his best to express: "Besides, there is no businessman who only eats vegetarian food and has such a thin body. You didn't see it, Marquis. Those arms are so thin. The bamboo pole is still thin, and the fingers are like eagle claws. It looks abnormal. Our Da Mu Dynasty is now Haiqingheyan, living a prosperous life, and he can make him a stinky Taoist. Mostly because of bad Taoism, he did it Anything detrimental to morality. For example, poisoning the First Prince, which is so unscrupulous and unspeakable, has absolutely nothing to do with him."

Wei Zhao didn't express his attitude, but asked, "Do you know where the Taoist priest is practicing?"

Zhang Dawang said with some embarrassment: "It's hard to say. Now there are dozens of Taoist temples, large and small, on the outskirts of Beijing alone, not counting those hidden in the mountains. There are so many Taoist priests." Just set up a stall It's worth a few taels of silver, which is more than making money as a beggar.If he was not really tired of smelling the scent of thread, he would not be willing to sell the property left by his ancestors.

"The Marquis understands, you step back first."

Wei Zhao ordered people to detain Zhang Dawang and Wang Adou together in the side hall, got up and walked to the back hall, the silver and white robes were like floating clouds, gradually disappearing behind the curtain.

……

After taking the Golden Snake Gallbladder, the Eldest Prince Mu Jue slowly woke up, and was sitting on the head of the bed at this moment, being served by the maidservant.

Seeing Wei Zhao stepping in gracefully, his phoenix eyes slightly drooped, looking at him quietly, obviously he had seen everything.Mu Jue's heart trembled inexplicably, he struggled to get up, knelt down on the ground, and wept, "It's because Yurun is not strict with his orders, and the slave who served the wine was clumsy and clumsy to put the Lindan powder that Yurun took before meals. Sprinkle it into the wine, causing His Highness to suffer so much. Everything is Yurun's fault, please report to the emperor, and punish Yurun severely!"

He also ate the "poison" by mistake, and suffered a lot. How miserable he was kneeling on the ground dragging his sick body.However, he didn't mention his grievances and sufferings at all. He only confessed his sins and confessed his mistakes, and he wanted to take responsibility for his servant's mistakes.

Anyone who saw this scene couldn't bear to blame him any more.

No wonder people in the world say that the eldest prince Mu Jue has a noble character, like a gentleman in ancient times, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty bow to him.It's a pity that fate was not good, and the position of the crown prince was robbed by a former prince.

Wei Zhao helped him up without showing any signs of expression: "It's cold on the ground, please get up and talk, Eldest Prince."

"That's it, it's the evil minister."

He's never taken to being weak and pitiful.

The author has something to say: Author: Keke, Weihou, you eat it selectively.

Prince: Oh, sorry.

Thank you all for your flowers, okay?
