After listening to Chai Yan's words, Hang Baiqiu turned around and returned to the room.
Chai Yan also walked back, and after taking just two steps, he met Wang Wangzhou who was coming over. He stopped him and said, "Secretary Wang, I'd like to ask you a favor..."
Wang Wangzhou tightened his clothes and asked, "Sir, I have something to give you."
Chai Yan looked back at the party where the noise was coming from and said, "Please help keep an eye on the situation over there. If anything happens, come over and talk about it in time."
"Don't worry, sir, my subordinates will definitely keep a close eye on you." Wang Wangzhou immediately agreed and walked away.
At the door of the room, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Chai Yan coming back and immediately asked curiously what was going on.
As Chai Yan stepped into the house, he told everything he knew about the situation.
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun were very surprised after hearing this, and then they guessed the cause of their stomachache one by one.
Chai Yan was too lazy to think about it. Anyway, he would definitely know the reason after dawn, so it was useless to think about it now.
"Stop chatting, go to bed quickly, we have to travel tomorrow..."
After Chai Yan spoke, Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun also stopped their discussion, turned out the lights and went back to sleep.
I don’t know how long it took, but Chai Yan, who was asleep, was suddenly woken up by a series of knocks on the door.
Guan Maochun and Cheng Jiu, who were in the same room, were also woken up. Guan Maochun hurriedly ran to open the door. The person who came was Wang Wangzhou, followed by a postman.
Wang Wangzhou couldn't wait to say to the room: "Sorry, sir, something happened over there!"
Chai Yan was startled and quickly sat up, and at the same time motioned to Guan Maochun to light the lamp.
Wang Wangzhou walked into the house with the postman, and the postman saluted Chai Yan and said: "Master Chai, please save our boss Xing, please..."
As Chai Yan got dressed and got out of bed, he asked, "What happened?"
The postman said anxiously: "Sir, we are from the Muyue Kingdom. They have locked up our boss Xing, and said that he will be taken to the governor of the capital for interrogation. Please do your best and go rescue him."
"Why arrest people for no reason?" Chai Yan was puzzled.
Wang Wangzhou was afraid that the postman could not explain clearly, so he hurriedly answered: "Sir, just now the second prince of Muyue Kingdom, their deputy envoy, and several other envoys suddenly suffered from unbearable abdominal pain. After diagnosis by the doctor accompanying their envoy, Wang Wangzhou
, it’s definitely caused by poisoning!”
"Ah? Poisoned?" Chai Yan was surprised.
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun were also surprised after hearing this and couldn't help but look at each other.
Wang Wangzhou continued: "Yes, sir, those people did say that. My subordinates were watching and heard many people say that in the chaos."
Chai Yan asked again: "Are they just the ones poisoned? Where are the other people in the mission? Are there any abnormalities?"
"Nothing strange!" Wang Wangzhou shook his head and replied: "Everyone else is fine, only their table was poisoned."
"Someone poisoned him?" Chai Yan asked curiously.
Wang Wangzhou shook his head again: "It's not clear yet..."
Chai Yan frowned and said, "Go on, what happened next..."
Wang Wangzhou continued: "After it was confirmed that it was poisoning, those Muyue people believed that this was the responsibility of the post station, so they took Xing Yicheng for questioning. Who knew that Xingyicheng refused to admit that it was his fault, and both parties
The words were fierce for a while, and it didn't take long for a dispute to break out. Later, the Muyue people were so angry that they locked up Xingyi Cheng, saying that he would be sent to the governor of Huaidu for strict interrogation, and he would not be lenient.
!”
After hearing this, Chai Yan shook his head and said displeasedly: "Why are you arresting people indiscriminately before things are clear? Who gave them the right?"
The postman next to him had sharp ears. Hearing Chai Yan's muttering, he immediately said: "Master Chai, it's none of our business if those people have stomachaches. The food they eat is cooked by their people. It's our business here."
I just lent them a kitchen, except for the firewood burning in the stove and the water in the well.
They brought water, the rest of the firewood, rice, oil, and salt themselves... Also, they brought the pots and pans for cooking, and none of our people came near them from beginning to end.
We have passed them, so the poisoning is not our fault at all, sir..."
Guan Maochun hesitated and said: "Is there something wrong with the water in the well?"
"As big as you!" Cheng Jiu immediately glared at him and asked, "Didn't you drink the well water? You drank such a big bowl earlier, why don't you have a stomachache now?"
"Yeah, hehe..." Guan Maochun rubbed the back of his head and giggled.
Next, Chai Yan quickly put on his clothes and asked, "Where is Xing Yi Cheng now?"
The postman replied: "I was locked up in a room at the back..."
Chai Yan reassured: "It's okay, I'll go over and see what's going on."
Afterwards, Chai Yan went to the next door to give Ge Hong a warning, and then took Cheng Jiu, Guan Maochun and Wang Wangzhou to the area where Mu Yueguo lived...
As for Hang Baiqiu, Chai Yan didn't call her. After all, it was so late and it was inconvenient.
When the group of people approached their house, four Muyue Kingdom guards blocked the way.
Chai Yan took out his badge to identify himself and specified that he wanted to see the second prince Ahudala, but the guard refused to get out of the way.
Just when Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun almost had a physical conflict with them, Ahudala's personal entourage appeared.
"Your Highness has an order to invite Mr. Chai to come in!" the attendant said.
Chai Yan and his men were just about to go in when they heard the attendant say again: "Master Chai, His Highness means that you are only invited to go in alone. I hope you can understand! After all, we are also responsible for the safety of the second prince.
no......"
Upon hearing this, Chai Yan frowned immediately, but after thinking about it, he turned to the three people behind him and said, "You guys wait here for me."
"My lord..." "But my lord..."
Cheng Jiu and Wang Wangzhou both wanted to fight, but when they saw Chai Yan shaking his head with a serious expression, they stopped talking.
"lead the way."
Chai Yan said something to his entourage, and the other party led Chai Yan inside.
Soon, Chaiyan came to Ahudala's room.
At this time, Ahudala was lying on the bed. Compared with before, his face was extremely pale, his lips were slightly black, and his mental state was extremely poor.
"Second Prince, how do you feel?" Chai Yan asked softly.
Ahudala slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Chai Yan, and said weakly: "Master Chai is here..."
"I heard they said something happened to you, so I came here to take a look..." Chai Yan said, walking to the stool next to the bed and sitting down.
Ahudala forced a smile and said: "Thank you, Mr. Chai, for your concern. I am much better. The doctor just now gave me medicine and an injection. I believe I will be fine soon..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard the entourage behind him crying: "Second Prince, why do you still say you're fine? Mr. Chai, the doctor just now made it very clear that although the poison is not enough to kill you, the poison is still very strong.
Now this injury requires me to rest in bed for at least ten or eight days before I can continue on my way. If I force myself to go on my way, I'm afraid my body...well, I'm afraid I won't be able to make it in time for the enthronement ceremony!"
"I told you I'm fine. I'll just go on my way tomorrow morning..." Ahudala was obviously trying to show off.
Chai Yan signaled Ahudala to lie down safely, and then asked the attendants with a solemn expression: "Where are the deputy envoys and several envoys? Is this the same situation?"
"About that. They were invited by the second prince to have dinner together during dinner, and then they both had seizures at night. It was almost at the same time, which means there is something wrong with the food at this inn!" the attendant said with great certainty.
These words immediately made Chai Yan feel a little unhappy, so he asked: "I heard that you detained Xing Yi Cheng?"
