In the shadows, someone reported: "...someone appeared with Lord Wu's token. His humble position had already been secretly followed, but that person was very cunning, and his subordinates lost track of him. As Long Live Lord expected, the person who held Lord Wu hostage,
It is the fugitive criminal Yang Zhixu and his confidants."
Yuchi Gong was not surprised. He ordered: "Tomorrow is the day to escort Yang Zhixu's wife and children. We must capture them. I want to live!"
Yan Ming knelt on the ground: "I humble my duty and obey the decree!"
Yu Chigong added: "Wu Dingbang is a meritorious minister. Tomorrow you not only have to protect his life, but also prevent the people behind the scenes from sending dead soldiers to kill everything. Also, send people to guard outside the Wu Mansion and related houses."
Yan Ming was a little confused, how could there be dead soldiers, and why did he need to keep an eye on the Wu family? Was Long Live Lord afraid of Wu Dingbang's rebellion?
After receiving the order and leaving Cangchen Palace, he figured out the reason.
The emperor set up this trap, clearly telling Yang Zhixu that he only had one chance to rescue his wife and children.
And if Yang Zhixu wanted to rescue people, it would not be enough for him and his confidants. He would definitely need to resort to chaos, so the best place for an ambush would be on a busy street.
But it was not enough. The Internal Security Department could quickly calm down the chaos created by the people, so Yang Zhixu also needed to use other forces.
In desperation, the best power Yang Zhixu could use was to take a desperate risk and leak the news in advance to let the people behind the scenes know his plans.
Generally, the frame-up should not involve poison, medicinal materials or weapons, etc. Why a pot?
Lihua tried the lid and handle, pressing and twisting, but she couldn't find the mechanism. It was not the old Yin-Yang pot.
As for this pot...
Could it be a bug? Lihua couldn't identify it, and it didn't look like it.
The confidant ignored him and tightened the rope around Yinshan's neck.
Lihua looked at the dug things and fell into deep thought.
Wu Dingbang's pupils trembled, and he said quickly: "Master Yang, Yinshan has no enmity against you, and he doesn't know your plans. He can't hinder you, so why not spare his life?"
If pear blossoms hadn't been quick to kill the moth with a handkerchief, the moth might have flown away.
Wu Dingbang could only vaguely hear scattered words such as "Sir", "carriage" and "ready".
At this time, Yang Zhixu still had a bargaining chip in his hand, which was Wu Dingbang's life.
Lihua shook her head. She didn't specialize in biology in modern times, so she couldn't identify it.
Lihua's eyes were focused, and she slowly turned the angle and poured out two small round objects. Upon closer inspection, they looked like insect eggs.
She was confused, thinking something important would be poured out, but she didn't expect it to be a moth.
The confidant walked up to Yinshan and put the rope around Yinshan's neck.
The confidant understood, immediately picked up a rope and walked towards Yinshan without saying a word.
He suddenly thought of a good idea...
Yang Zhixu's face showed perverted pleasure and sarcasm.
She couldn't figure out why she bothered to bury the pot, which contained non-toxic insects, but there must be something she couldn't understand.
When the chaos broke out, the Internal Security Department and the dead soldiers fought together, and Yang Zhixu took advantage of the chaos to save people.
Lihua was amused by Zhichun's words, yes, it was a real troublemaker.
Yuchi Gong sat quietly for a while, thinking for a while, then summoned the shadow guard and gave instructions in a low voice.
Yang Zhixu laughed at Wu Dingbang's naivety.
After Zhichun had been busy for a long time, two insect eggs about the thickness of needles came out. If he didn't look carefully, he would have thought they were pot ashes.
She was a little puzzled, and she and Zhichun stared at the two insect egg-like things for a while, but found nothing.
Wu Dingbang struggled for the first time since he was arrested, shaking his chair, trying to save Yinshan.
To be cautious, Lihua felt it was inappropriate and asked Zhichun to come over and whisper like this and so and so.
He threatened Wu Dingbang's life and entered the Wu Mansion. After entering the Wu Mansion, he captured Wu Dingbang's wife and children, and then in turn blackmailed Wu Dingbang to find a way to hide him and help his family escape from the capital.
Such a demanding task, if not carefully planned in advance, will fail if you are not careful.
The people behind the scenes were afraid that he would be captured alive by the court, so they would definitely send dead soldiers to intercept and kill him.
Thinking that the silver needles of this era could not detect all poisons, Lihua decided to go out tomorrow to catch two birds and feed them moths and another insect egg to try.
In addition to the unique and unusual style of this pot, the material is not expensive and there is no clue about its appearance.
After rescuing people, it was not that easy to escape from the capital when the whole city was under martial law.
Governor Lihua had something fishy. He soaked the moth in water and tried it with a silver needle. It was not poisonous.
She asked in confusion: "Master, what is this?"
Lihua immediately knew that there were more than two insect eggs in the pot. It was just a matter of angle and it was difficult to shake them out.
Yang Zhixu nodded to express his understanding and asked his confidants to change the dressing for a stab wound on his chest. It was a wound inflicted by a dead soldier while escaping, which almost killed him.
Lihua thought for a moment, then asked Zhichun to bring some water, and put one of the eggs into the water with a small clip.
Inside Tingli Courtyard.
From breaking the shell to turning into a cocoon and becoming a moth, it takes less than a cup of tea and is extremely fast.
Could it be that she thought wrong?
Zhichun didn't dare to disturb them. Although she couldn't see anything strange about the pot, she still knew that someone wanted to harm them.
A dark figure looked around, and after confirming that there was nothing unusual, climbed over the wall and entered a small courtyard.
Yinshan's eyes revealed sadness, he shook his head slightly at Wu Dingbang, closed his eyes and prepared to die.
She put her ear to the edge of the pot and shook the pot gently. She heard a small sound, which was difficult to distinguish without listening carefully.
He hurriedly entered the main room and whispered something to Yang Zhixu.
Nancheng, central Beijing.
Wu Dingbang looked anxious: "Mr. Yang, after rescuing your wife, you have injured your children and are in need of help. Yinshan can help you. With me in hand, Yinshan will never act rashly.
"
When he thought of something, he paused and stopped him: "Slow down!"
She continued to search, put the pot under the candlelight and looked at it carefully, then gently tapped various parts of the pot with her hands, and finally found a small hole in the hidden bend of the spout.
After changing the medicine, he looked at Wu Dingbang with a sinister look, then turned to Yinshan and signaled to his confidants.
After the little insect came out, it moved slowly at first, then gradually became faster and faster. It ate the egg shell and began to spin silk, wrapping itself into a cocoon.
There was no change in the egg at first, but after a while it was discovered that it was slowly absorbing water and swelling. Then the egg shell burst, and a young insect crawled out of it.
Therefore, tomorrow the Internal Security Department will not only have to take care of the people in the busy city, protect Wu Dingbang, capture Yang Zhixu alive, and fight with the dead, but also need to send people to guard outside the Wu Mansion to prevent the worst case scenario from happening.
Lihua felt something was wrong, she must have missed something.
Lihua and Zhichun were surprised. Just when they thought there would be no more changes, the cocoon burst, and what crawled out again was a small moth.
Then a magical scene happened.
Zhichun scratched his head: "Hey, did they bribe Liu Sanzi just to cause such trouble?"
"Master, where to throw it? Why don't you go to the Royal Garden early tomorrow morning and pick a lake and throw it away?"
Lihua waved her hand: "That can't be done!"
Anyone who wants to harm them will send the pot back to them. This is called reciprocity.
After thinking about it for a while, Lihua came up with a good candidate.
But why send it away quietly?
Lihua glanced in the direction of the main hall, smiled, and had a good idea.
