"If he really loses his power and his daughter follows him, she will definitely suffer!"
"If I'm on someone's side, my daughter's freedom is one of the terms of the deal." Since Wu Teng was able to achieve the position of Jin Zhaoyin, he was naturally no pushover. His foresight and foresight were probably not less than the deceitful thoughts of the six scrolls.
The confused Wu Rufeng was sent to the carriage, and Wu Teng immediately sent some men to deliver two letters to Doctor Chen and Prince Mo's mansion.
The ox-cart slowly moved through the streets of Beijing. Although it was slow, it was very steady. The box at the back of the cart was filled with medicines that were sent to every household. Naturally, it could not be spilled all the way. Both the front and back follow the horse to slow the progress of the bailiffs, from the clothing seems to be subordinate to the Beijing Zhaoyi Yamen.
Suddenly, the sound of horses galloping could be heard in the deserted street. It sounded like there was more than a few horses approaching, as if there was a small group of people chasing after them.
With so many people on the street galloping, everyone would turn around to take a look. The errand boy escorting the ox-cart was no exception.
Most of those who were rushing over were servants of the Jing Zhao and Yin Residence. A few of them were surrounding a white-robed man. It seemed like they were guards of a large family.
The one leading at the front was actually Jin Zhao Yin Wu Teng himself.
"Stop!" Amidst the shouts from behind, the ox-cart slowly came to a halt. Everyone dismounted from their horses and paid their respects, unable to figure out what Sir Wu was doing.
Those with sharp eyes noticed that there was also the royal physician, Chen Jiaming, mixed in with the crowd.
The combination of Mo Wang, Jing Zhaoyin and Doctor Chen was really puzzling.
Wu Teng waved his hand and said, "This has nothing to do with you. Someone, get on the carriage and get some medicine for Imperial Physician Chen to examine. "
A bailiff got on the oxcart and brought down a wooden bucket. For the convenience of transportation, the medicine was delivered in wooden barrels filled with wine, covered with a thick quilt to keep it warm.
The bailiff removed the stopper from the barrel and handed a bowl of medicine to Imperial Physician Chen. He smelled it again and again and took the silver needle in to test it out. The crowd watched as the silver needle slowly turned black.
The delivery man said with a bitter face, "Sir Wu, this really has nothing to do with me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Constable Zhang. He just watched us load the drugs and get on the carriage."
"There's no need to speak anymore. Take all of these. You don't have to be afraid, I will investigate everything thoroughly and will not wrongly accuse anyone. " Wu Teng's face was frosted over as he ordered his men to take the oxcart back. The other bailiffs were being escorted back, their heads hanging down.
From beginning to end, Xiao Yixiu had watched silently.
When they arrived at the office in the capital, the Head of the Supreme Court, En, and Prince Xiao Lingbin arrived under Wu Teng's instructions. When they saw Wu Teng bring all the medicine decocting and escorting servants to the front, they respectfully clasped their hands and bowed.
Since this matter was witnessed from the very beginning by King Mo and was also testified by Imperial Physician Chen whom the Emperor valued highly, Xiao Lingbin and Dong Chang En naturally didn't dare to slight him and immediately sat down to interrogate him.
Therefore, since it happened at the Beijing Yamen, Wu Teng himself was a person involved, so he just sat by the side and listened.
The case could be easily tried, and once it was put to the torture, someone admitted that the poison method was no different than that used in the outer city. The poison was also spread all over the inside of the wooden bucket and was sent to every household, with the aim of causing the deaths of all the patients.
When he said that, Dong Chang'en couldn't help but stand up. His face was flushed red as he said angrily, "Who on earth dares to do such a shameless thing?! Do you know how many people will die if you give them this medicine? And among these people, other than the commoners, there were also many families of officials in the imperial court who were infected! This is no longer just killing people, this is rebellion! "
Xiao Lingbin raised his hand. "Lord Dong, don't be impatient."
He calmly looked at the two confessor and asked, "Who instructed you to do this? What was your purpose in doing so?"
"Yes …" "It's the steward of the Mu King's Manor …" After the man had finished his sentence, he was hit on the head and fell to the ground with a miserable scream.
"Nonsense, why would Prince Mu do such a thing?"
"I, I …" I don't know... I heard that he wanted to stir up chaos in the capital, and even if he rebelled, he would not hold back. He said that the disease was dealt with by the Yan emperor himself, and the prescription was given by Prince Mo's concubine. "Keep it down …"
Xiao Ling Bin was startled for a moment, but then he laughed, "This is indeed a good plan. But why is there a black head in this medicine?"
"Previously, it was Xin Poria Cocos, I heard that the drug was mixed with the prescription and could cause the epidemic patients to go crazy and attack others, but that move did not seem to work, and it was seen through in the outer city. "Many people are involved in this matter in the inner city. If all the families of those officials were to die, it would definitely cause a huge ruckus, so …"
"Nonsense, you need to know that the person you are incriminating is a prince. If this crime is committed, how much of a crime will King Mu suffer?" If you are framed, it would not be too much to rob your family of ten clans. "
"How would I dare!?" Even if their heads fall on the ground, they would not dare to carelessly frame the prince. "
Xiao Lingbin continued to look at the two of them with a smile that was not a smile. He looked around and asked, "Xiu'er, everyone, what do you think of this matter?"
Xiao Yixiu said calmly, "Unless there is iron-clad evidence, I do not believe that the Three Sovereigns would do such a thing."
Dong Zhang En hesitated, but remained silent. He was thinking that if this case was carried out, he would be able to handle it. This would be a great contribution to the king, and it would please him more than anything else.
He turned to Wu Teng, thinking that Wu Teng should have the same thoughts as him. After all, their daughter had married into the main wife of the Yan Prince's Mansion, and if they didn't take this opportunity to punish him, how could King Yan defeat King Mu and become the best candidate for the throne?
However, Wu Teng stared at him enigmatically, not showing any emotion on his face.
Dong ChangEn cursed in his heart at the old fox, but he was still very confident. How could a father-in-law not help his son-in-law and instead seek justice for an outsider? Taking advantage of the presence of Prince Li and King Mo, he decided to completely dismount King Mu as soon as possible.
"This official also thinks that there should be evidence to prove it. However, the matter of the examination of the prince is no small matter. The two princes must go together."
Xiao Lingbin smiled and stood up. "Alright, I'll accompany you to pay a visit." With that said, before you can be convicted, everyone is innocent. Everyone, you can't be rude to King Mu. "
"Prince Li is right."
Chief Dong En and Wu Teng also followed behind the two princes. They reached out their hands to tug on Wu Teng's sleeves, causing him to turn around and look at them.
Dong Chang En smiled dubiously and shook Wu Teng's hand from the bottom of his sleeve with an expression of tacit understanding.
Wu Teng gave him a fake smile, giving him a nonchalant nod. This made him think that the two of them had reached an agreement.
