Set the clock back to this morning, Beijing, Lifanyuan.
Several people who looked like Yi people from Yunnan walked into a large courtyard of the Lifan Courtyard. The leading man walked into the big room in the middle. When he entered, he saw a man and a woman waiting in the room.
The people who just walked in were not surprised. The dark-skinned, rather muscular leading man took a sip of water and said anxiously: "Father, it's not good. The person who bought the poison from us and the Ming Dynasty's royal family... Related, we are afraid that we are going to get into trouble."
The man he called father also had dark skin. Although he was in his forties, he was still in good health. He was the chieftain of the Third Department of Education and Education of Lin'an Prefecture in Yunnan (today's Wenshan to Pingbian generation in Yunnan). His younger brother, Long Shangdeng, heard a flash of fear in his eyes after hearing his son's words, but he immediately covered it up and said, "What's going on? Take a breath and then talk about it."
His son's name was Long Zhehei. He sat on a chair, rested for a while, and said to his father: "Yesterday when we were trading with that group of Han people, didn't you let me secretly infect everyone except the leading woman?" I learned the 'Knowing People Gu' and took it back before we separated. Today I took the Gu bug to the capital of Ming Dynasty to find where they were based on the smell recorded by the Gu bug, and found that there was a person's scent in the palace. We here It involves the internal struggle in the Ming Dynasty."
Long Shangdeng asked: "Have you confirmed it? Maybe that person happened to be near the palace today."
Dragon Zhehei replied: "I walked around the palace to make sure that the Gu insect was always facing the direction of the palace. If I hadn't said that I was a Yi from Yunnan and was surprised by the palace, maybe the palace guards would have arrested me. Woke up."
"This group of people is so well hidden." Long Shangdeng said, "I just thought they were from a wealthy family in the capital, but they turned out to be members of the royal family. I really shouldn't trade with them this time. I'm afraid it will harm the entire family. ."
Dragon Zhehei said: "It's all the fault of Long's generation. They felt that these Han people were very powerful and might be able to transport iron tools and other things into Yunnan, so they advocated agreeing to the deal. It turned out that they were indeed very powerful, but they were too powerful. I'm afraid the whole tribe will be involved."
Long Shangdeng said: "Don't blame Long Nadai, he is also doing it for everyone's good."
At this time, the girl who had been silent next to her spoke up: "Dad, brother, we just sold a few things to them. Even if they are discovered, we didn't mean to poison anyone. We can't get rid of it after drinking." Is it open?"
Long Shangdeng said: "Ping'er, you are young and don't know that the rules of the Han people are different from those of the Miao people. They don't kill each other when sacrificing ancestors. After the sacrifice, we just have a drink together and it's over. If If an extremely important person is offended, the Han people will do their best to retaliate."
This girl is the little girl who appeared in the Shandong Noodle House earlier. Although she is young, she has excellent talent in voodoo magic. She was accepted as an apprentice by the great wizard in the tribe. This time she came to the capital to see the world, so she came with her. Blinking his big eyes, he added: "Even if the Ming Dynasty comes to retaliate, our Aya (the name of their hometown) has a complicated terrain, and the Han people don't know geography, what can they do to us?"
Dragon Zhehei said: "Little sister, you have never been out of Aya before. When the Ming Dynasty invaded Yunnan, you were still young and had no memory. This time you came to the capital of the Ming Dynasty by water, and you didn't have much experience: the strength of the Ming Dynasty is thousands of Times, ten thousand times more than Aya. If the emperor of the Ming Dynasty gets angry and wants to destroy Aya, no one can stop it. If we can really stop the Ming army, how could grandpa surrender to the Ming Dynasty back then?"
After all, Long Ping'er was still young, so she panicked after hearing this: "Then what should we do? It's impossible to rush into the palace and snatch the poison back now."
Long Shangdeng said: "We have always said that we are the people in the car. Those Han people probably don't know our specific identities yet. Long Zhehei, please ask those who have met them not to go out these days; the rest of us People should go out as little as possible and stay quiet and don't be dazzled by the Han people's colorful world; others can only leave it to fate."
Dragon Zhehei said: "Dad, do you want to take all the people we found outside the palace..." As he said this, he made a gesture of cutting his throat.
Although Long Shangdeng is a barbarian, he seems to be proficient in criminal investigation. He said: "You can't do that. The more you do, the more traces you will have. From now on, don't do anything."
Then he turned to Ping'er and said, "Don't go out. If you want to buy anything, let your servants buy it."
But at this time, Ping'er didn't listen to what his father said. She thought of Zhu Yunxi whom she had seen at the Shandong Noodle House that day. 'Isn't that the person he wants to poison this time?' she thought.
The next day, September 27th, Yunxi went directly to the Ministry of War to work today, and did not take any new job assessments. He only worked on the leftovers from the previous few days. He hurriedly grabbed a few mouthfuls of rice at noon, and then went back to work. I went to work, and in the afternoon I worked with the new martial arts director who was about to take over the work. I also took the time to go to the school in the north of the city for assessment, and finally completed the work before dark.
Yunxi breathed a sigh of relief after completing the work, and finally did not leave a mess for others.
He said goodbye to the officials of the Ministry of War and went to the Wenhua Hall. "Tomorrow we will prepare for the ceremony of canonizing the emperor's grandson, and I will not be free all day. Fortunately, it is not in the mood to take a bath and fast three days in advance for the canonization of the prince." Otherwise I will have to suffocate to death.' Yunxi thought. As someone who has learned about the current ceremony of bathing and fasting for the canonization of a queen, I am very happy that the current ceremony for canonizing a crown prince (grandson of the emperor) does not require bathing and fasting three days in advance.
Halfway through the road, Yunxi remembered that he had forgotten to send a document that was to be delivered to the school grounds in the north of the city, so he hurriedly returned to the Military Selection Department of the Ministry of War to find the document. He thought that he would not have time to come here tomorrow, so he was worried about Wang who was with him today. Bu said: "You go and take this thing to the school ground in the north of the city, and then buy some gadgets and come back. Don't worry." He was thinking that Wenying had no chance to leave the palace, so he wanted to bring Wenying some things outside the palace to play with. , but also care about your sister.
Yunxi returned to the East Nuan Pavilion of Wenhua Palace. Before he could rest for a long time, someone from the palace came over and told him where to attend the rehearsal of the canonization ceremony at that time tomorrow morning. Others came to tell him other things. .Yunxi didn't even take time to eat, and it wasn't until about two quarters past Xu that he found time to eat.
But this was also related to the fact that the food was delivered late. At the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, Yunxi had some time, and he was also hungry, so he asked, "Has the food been delivered from the dining hall?"
Wang Xi complained: "Not yet. It's true in the dining hall today. I sent someone to the dining hall a quarter of an hour ago to tell them that the food has been cooked, but it hasn't been delivered yet. What happened?"
