Attack Jade (攻玉) - Chapter 33
[Chapter 24]
Duan Wenyin was confused: “This poisonous insect is only owned by Prince Cheng, Dalang, have you dealt with Prince Cheng these few days?”
Du Tinglan and Teng Yuyi looked at each other, and at this point, she still tried to help her younger brother get rid of him. Dong Erniang’s relationship, does this mean that Lin Chengyou plotted against Duan Ningyuan? It also depends on whether Lin Chengyou is willing to take this charge.
Guo saw the big and round eyes of the county master of Azhi: “Madam is saying that my brother gave the worm to General Duan?”
Duan Wenyin froze for a while, and then smiled busyly: “The county master, don’t worry, I mean Since this worm is raised in Qingyun Temple, it is inevitable that one or two will come out. When Ning Yuan was dealing with the prince, it is unknown if he accidentally
got it.” Azhi was not happy, and turned to look at Juesheng and Jizhi behind him: ” I don’t know Taoism either, so you can speak for your brother.”
Juesheng and Qizhi wanted to speak early, but because they couldn’t expose themselves in front of others at will, they didn’t make a move. Since the Jingde County Master personally exposed their identities , then you don’t have to worry anymore.
Qizhi said truthfully: “Mrs. Yongan Hou’s words are not understandable to the poor. Although this worm is a thing of Qingyunguan, my brother will never release it for no reason. I used this method to deal with Dong Erniang that day because she was implicated. The people in Ziyun Tower refused to tell the truth. If they were casual, they would get infected with the worm. I don’t know how many people inside and outside the palace suffered. But so far, no more than five people in Chang’an City have been infected with the worm, and all of them have worms. That ‘s why.” Juesheng said with a stern face
: “That’s right, let alone our brothers and sisters who haven’t seen General Duan at all recently, even if they did, General Duan would never have the chance to contract poisonous insects.”
It’s embarrassing, this is clear enough, he knows how Duan Ningyuan got infected, and he can’t think of putting it on the prince’s head.
Qi Zhi said again: “Itchy bugs like young men who are hot and strong. When they encounter a better host, they often abandon their old hosts. Looking at General Duan’s situation, it should be that the original host’s itchy bugs are drawn to themselves. There are only two people in Chang’an City who are infected with poisonous insects. Where did General Duan get it, just go to the prison in Jingzhao Mansion and see.”
Duan Ningyuan was in purgatory, but his sanity was not completely lost. Hearing this, he calmed down a bit. He and Dong Erniang had not seen each other for several days. The poisoning would not have come from her, there must be another way.
As long as the poisonous insects on Dong Erniang’s body are still there, they can maintain each other’s reputation.
He struggled staggeringly, and spit out a sentence: “I…I don’t know that Dong Erniang. Even if I get poisoned, I will never get it from this person.”
Duan Wenyin heard this, He hurriedly glanced at a few stewards: “While all the elders are here, send someone to Jingzhao Mansion to take a look, and come back to report after confirming it, and save Ning Yuan from being wronged.
” Hearing Azhi said, “Wait a minute, remember to bring all the servants of the prefectures as evidence.”
Duan Wenyin and Mrs. Duan had hot faces. They had long suspected that Ningyuan’s poisonous insects were infected by Dong Erniang, even if they wanted to go. Jingzhao House confirmed that it was also ready to ask the people below to hide the truth at any time.
Unexpectedly, in order to prevent his brother from taking the blame for nothing, the county master of Azhi asked all the prefectures to send people, so how can he cover it up in time. Subconsciously, I wanted to obstruct, but doing so would be too guilty.
After thinking about it again, Ning Yuan spoke so frankly, and offered to go to Jingzhao Mansion to check, thinking that he knew more about his whereabouts these days than they did, maybe this poisonous insect really didn’t come from Dong Erniang.
So no longer blocked, busy also responded.
“You go with the steward of the Duan family. Take a closer look at the Jingzhao Mansion and come back soon to report.” Azhi held his cheeks as he spoke, but his expression was serious.
When everyone was talking, Duan’s mother and son became even more violent. Both of them looked like crazy, scratching themselves constantly. If they didn’t detoxify, they would catch a piece of good meat sooner or later.
Madam Duan and Duan Wenyin looked at their eyes, their hearts clenched together, Duan Wenyin felt distressed for her mother and younger brother, and said in a hurry: “Little Daoist, I just said inappropriately, I hope Daoist don’t take it to heart, regardless of whether Dalang is How the poisonous insects got infected, since it is a thing of Qingyunguan, can you ask the Taoist priest to help detoxify as soon as possible.”
Juesheng and Qizhi shook their heads: “The medicinal powder has been locked up by senior brother. Only senior senior brother can use it. Even if we rush back to Guanli immediately, we will not be able to rescue
. The old lady’s eyes lit up: “Can the two priests tell the old man, where is the prince now? You guys are ready to prepare the car, and let the old man go and invite the prince in person.” The
matter
in the flower hall quickly spread to the front. The Duan family wanted to move Duan Ningyuan and Mrs. Duan to the inner courtyard for a while.
However, Duan Ningyuan and Mrs. Duan were tortured. Every time they took a step, even the flesh of the belt shook. Not to mention going to the inner courtyard, even walking out of the flower hall was a delusion.
The servants had no choice but to find a rope, intending to tie the two, but they were hesitant to come forward for fear of the poisonous insect.
The Duan family had no choice but to close the flower hall and instead invite all the guests to the central hall.
Fortunately, the Duan family was very skilled in managing the family, and the middle hall opened up in a blink of an eye.
The guests were not only afraid of being rude, but also wanted to know how the Duan family ended. Except for a few who left, most of them stayed to drink and have fun.
The male guests sit in the east hall, and the female relatives sit in the west hall, separated by a few wide six-curved Luodian flower and bird screens in the middle, so that they can have a feast together without losing their courtesy.
Teng Yuyi and Du Tinglan sat next to Mrs. Duan, and both had good appetites.
Du Tinglan was not good at drinking, so she concentrated on eating, but Teng Yuyi drank a lot of wine slowly. The calamus wine brewed by Duan’s family was good. After drinking it, it was full of fragrance. The sent servants come back.
Whenever there are servants in front of the court, everyone’s eyes change, and someone suddenly said: “Come, come.” The
servants ran to Mrs. Duan: “Master has invited Prince Cheng, the prince has just dismounted. There were voices coming from the front of the
middle hall, and soon Duke Zhen Guo led King Lin Chengyou in.
Duke Zhen Guogong was a famous Confucian general, over forty years old, dignified and dignified, the other person wore a blue sky-blue round-neck tee shirt with a white jade belt around his waist. who is it.
The Duke of Zhenguo’s voice was as loud as a bell: “I really don’t want to disturb Your Highness and the prince, but I heard that only the prince can solve the poisonous insects, so the old
man had to give up his old face to find the prince.” Lin Chengyou said: “Why did the prince say this, even if there is no paragraph. Regarding the matter of the little general, the old lady in the mansion is celebrating her birthday, and the younger generation should have come over to congratulate him.”
Jingde County Master happily greeted him, “Brother.”
Juesheng and Qizhi were busy following.
Lin Chengyou looked at Azhi: “Is it fun?”
“It’s very fun.”
Lin Chengyou snorted. He was busy looking for traces of monsters all day. He heard that Azhi ran out of the palace and was worried that his sister would encounter monsters. He dispatched Juesheng and Qizhi in a hurry. Seeing that his sister didn’t feel that he was reckless, he deliberately sighed: “It seems that you are too old, and you will come out to have fun by yourself. Find someone to play with.”
Jingde County Master knew that her brother blamed her for leaving the house without authorization, and muttered: “No, I want my brother, how can others compare with my brother.”
Duke Zhen Guo smiled: “The county owner and the prince are getting closer and closer to each other. The more it looks like.”
Lin Chengyou patted Azhi’s head and looked up at Zhongtang: “Is the old lady in the house at the table, the younger generation wants to go over and say goodbye to the old birthday star.”
Duke Zhen Guo was very honored: “The prince will help the dog later . After the detoxification, if you are not busy, you must reward yourself with a glass of wine before leaving.” Mrs.
Duan did not dare to be slow, and stood up tremblingly: “Hurry up and take a seat for the prince.”
Lin Chengyou smiled and saluted: “This junior comes over to the old man. The ancestors begged for wine and drink.” When
he showed up, the faces of several noble ladies at the banquet had turned red, and they didn’t know whether they were drunk or shy.
The female family members of the Duan family felt that their faces were bright, and they hurriedly asked the servants to pour wine, asking for warmth, and being attentive.
After a few words of greetings, Lin Chengyou pretended to inadvertently swept the women’s feast behind Old Madam Duan, and finally set his eyes on Teng Yuyi, sneering in his heart.
Teng Yuyi had just finished drinking a cup of wine, and when she raised her eyes, she met Lin Chengyou’s line of sight. With the word “doubt” written all over her face, she slowly put down the wine cup.
Juesheng and Qizhi were stunned for a while, and the senior brother looked at Lady Teng…it didn’t seem quite right.
After thinking about it, suddenly my mind exploded. Madam Teng deceived a package of itch bugs and medicinal powder from them last time. Senior brother probably suspected that Madam Teng did it.
The two glanced suspiciously at Teng Yuyi. If Madam Teng was really making fun of Little General Duan, how could she be so calm.
Moreover, in the flower hall earlier, Mrs. Teng looked so panicked, she was clearly also frightened.
According to them, the reason why General Duan was poisoned was obviously because he saw that Dong Erniang in prison.
The Duke of Zhen Guo led Lin Chengyou out the door: “People are in the flower hall, please come with the old man.”
Lin Chengyou came to the outside of the hall, suddenly stopped on the steps, then bent his fingers into a ring and whistled.
A shadow suddenly appeared on the eaves, and jumped down from the beam.
The thing moved swiftly, leaping to the bright spot in front of the steps, revealing the shiny black back hair.
Everyone exclaimed, it turned out to be a nimble little cheetah.
After the female family members were surprised, they shyly whispered, and the prince Chengzi really did not change his playfulness. This thing is just right for hunting on weekdays, how can it be brought into the inner house to play.
The little cheetah circled around Lin Chengyou’s robe and let out a few low roars, which made the flowers and plants in the courtyard rustled. Then he lowered his body and put his paws on Lin Chengyou’s robe.
Teng Yuyi saw that he forgot the wine cup in his hand, and did not know how Lin Chengyou trained to make such a beast bow down to him.
Lin Chengyou smiled and said to Zhenguo Gong: “I don’t have any powder on me today, it’s too troublesome to rush back to Guanli, so I can only make do with it to help detoxify.”
Zhen Guogong nodded: “Remember that this was a tribute from Sinhalese Kingdom back then. The spiritual beast, the sage saw that the prince liked it, and sent it to the palace, the old man only knew that this thing had extraordinary spiritual power, but he didn’t know that it would detoxify.”
Jingde County Master took a lychee preserved from his waist and threw it to the little boy . Black Panther: “You will be rewarded, eat it.” The
little black panther stretched out his paws and pushed aside the preserved lychee in disgust.
The county master of Jingde stomped his feet in anger: “Junnu, why are you being mean to me again. Humph!”
Lin Chengyou squatted down and tugged at Junnu’s pointed ears: “Azhi likes you, you can eat one as a reward. The
little cheetah narrowed its blue eyes slightly, and rubbed Lin Chengyou’s palm with infinite attachment, and when it turned its head, it still refused to look at the preserved lychee.
Lin Chengyou said: “Hey, Azhi is my younger sister, I’m so shameless like you.”
Jun Nu snorted, and then approached and sniffed the preserved lychee, and ate it slowly.
Duke Zhen Guo saw that Jun Nu was ready, and took advantage of the situation to lead Lin Chengyou forward: “Just now someone said that Ning Yuan was infected by a certain little lady, this is really absurd, the dog and the little lady have nothing to do with each other, why is there no reason? Will it be infected? What’s more, although the dog has no shape, it is not such a person who does not know the importance of it. According to the old man, it can only be infected from other places.”
Lin Chengyou took a step: “What does this mean?
” Sigh: “I’m afraid that some scoundrels will deliberately do something sneaky in order to frame the dog. The old man dares to ask, has Qingyunguan
dropped poisonous insects recently?” , even if Lin Chengyou deliberately drags her in, she still has a way to deal with it.
The hearts of Jue Sheng and Abandoning Wisdom suddenly jumped into their throats. If the senior brother told Lady Teng that Teng was getting worms, she would not be able to explain it.
Fortunately, Azhi County Master has already sent someone to Jingzhao Mansion. As long as it is confirmed that the poisonous insects on Dong Erniang are gone, it means that the poisonous insects on General Duan’s body are from Dong Erniang’s body. in a hurry.
The two looked outside for a while, and Lin Chengyou for a while, so nervous that they didn’t dare to come out.
Lin Chengyou glanced at the seat from the corner of his eye, and suddenly smiled: “My grandfather has underestimated our Qingyun Temple. Even if someone wants to steal insects, they have to be able to enter the gate of my Qingyun Temple, right? Recently, there is only one insect in our temple. I didn’t lose it.”
Duke Zhen’s expression stiffened.
Lin Chengyou walked forward first: “Detoxify Mrs. Zun and General Duan first.” The group was about
to go to the flower hall, and the gang of servants who were sent to Jingzhao Mansion came back.
The leading palace servant went straight to the Jingde County Lord: “The County Lord.”
“Have you seen it?” The Jingde County Lord asked curiously, “Are the poisonous insects still on Dong Erniang?”
Everyone pricked up their ears. Old Madam Duan and Duan Wenyin held their breaths, lest they be too far away to hear the truth. Duke Zhen Guo stopped and looked at the servant with a solemn face.
The servant shook his head: “I’m gone, Dong Erniang drank a big bowl of porridge at night, and she felt much better, and she didn’t itch any more.”
Azhi asked the servants of the various houses who went with him: “You guys have also gone to see, Is that really the case?”
“Back to the county master, I have confirmed that the poisonous insects on Dong Erniang are indeed gone.” The
Jingde county master nodded with satisfaction, Lin Chengyou glanced at Teng Yuyi meaningfully.
The people at the table looked at each other. They had already heard about General Duan and Dong Erniang, but they couldn’t come up with conclusive evidence. What else can they say about the Duan family this time? This worm is terrible, but only people who have had close contact with it will catch it. Here, General Duan just had an attack, and Dong Erniang saw it. Where did General Duan’s poisonous insects come from, we still have to guess.
Old Madam Duan and Duan Wenyin’s expressions seemed to be split, and it was hard to see the extremes in an instant.
Duke Zhen Guo’s body was half cold, and he said angrily, “This villain!”
