Chapter 342 Failure
"I only know that Wu La Imperial Physician and I are both in contact with the Minister of Rites, but I don't know who Wu La Imperial Physician uses to contact others. We are all in a single line of contact. Below me is Bai Ting, and above me is the Minister of Rites. As for who Bai Ting uses, I don't know."
Minglu nodded, took out a stack of rice paper from the table next to him and threw it on the ground, then threw down a brush.
"Whatever you know, think it through clearly and write it down."
After saying that, Ming Lu called in a young eunuch from outside that Liu Yuyi had never seen before, "Just keep an eye on them . I'll be back soon."
The young eunuch nodded without saying a word, and when he came in, he stood behind Imperial Physician Liu like a pillar, looking very difficult to deal with.
Ming Lu had just come out of the imperial study and was about to head southwest, but as soon as he walked out, Wang Yu came towards him with two sacks in his hands and threw them directly at Ming Lu.
Ming Lu chuckled and said, "Thank you, General Wang. I'll bring you pork elbow tomorrow."
Wang Yu smiled and said, "You should keep it for Minghe. If you want to give it to me, why not just give it to me directly?"
Ming Lu blinked , "I didn't realize that Brother Wang was so bold. He asked for someone directly. I wonder what kind of person Brother Wang prefers? Man or woman?"
Wang Yu glared at him angrily and said, "I don't care about meat or vegetables. If you have anything good, give it to me."
Ming Lu laughed even harder, "I'm a pimp, I can't run errands for nothing."
Wang Yu glared at him, "You just said you gave me the pork elbow to thank me, but now you're asking me to run errands? Isn't this your thank you gift to me?"
"A thank-you gift to a living person? Isn't this a bit too much?"
Wang Yu said, "Not much. The Minister of Rites gave a full-strength military dog team as a gift. Aren't we closer than the Minister of Rites? Why don't you give me a full-strength cavalry?"
After a few words of small talk, Wang Yu returned to the main topic and said, "We need to arrest a few more of these people. I have to go to Duke Xue's place to help Xiao Yu keep an eye on them. Although he is quite capable, he is not very professional after all. He is the only one keeping an eye on them over there, and I am afraid something might happen."
Minglu said, "Then go ahead. Once Liu the Imperial Physician is arrested, I will be free. It would be easy to arrest someone else. At worst, I can stop Jixiang from pretending to be sick and just pick her up and let her work."
Wang Yu smiled and nodded, "That makes sense. From what I've seen, Jixiang has gained at least 10 pounds since returning from Datong. It's time for him to exercise."
Before Wang Yu finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his neck. He subconsciously touched his neck, then paused and turned his head abruptly.
The first thing he saw was Jixiang, who had gained at least ten pounds, standing behind him with an expressionless face.
Wang Yu was so scared that he jumped up, "Minglu, I have something else to do, I'm going to leave first!"
Run away.
Jixiang raised his slingshot and shot a stone in the direction where Wang Yu was fleeing.
Bang!
It hit Wang Yu's butt accurately.
Wang Yu didn't even bother to cry out in pain. He just jumped a little with a cry and continued to escape quickly.
Behind her back, Jixiang cursed, "I've grown fat and I've eaten your rice. Why do you mind your business?"
Minglu leaned against the wall, laughing until his stomach hurt. He was laughing happily when Jixiang suddenly turned around to look at him, which frightened Minglu so much that he shut up. "Sister Jixiang has the best figure in the world. She won't get fat no matter how much rice she eats. I swear on three fingers!"
Bai Ting, who was trapped in a sack: ...
Bai Ting's accomplice who was trapped in the sack: ...
Are you polite?
Can you consider how the villain feels at this moment?
Jixiang glared at Minglu and waved his hand, "Hurry up and work. I don't know how many we have to catch tonight . Work hard and try to take a nap before dawn tomorrow."
"Okay, Sister Jixiang, as you command!" Minglu responded exaggeratedly, and dragged the people inside into the imperial study with a sack in each hand.
As these people continued to confess, Minglu and Jixiang arrested six or seven more.
The next morning.
In the Golden Palace, Rong Que announced radiantly that the team escorting Princess Da Qi back to the court would set out immediately after the court was adjourned. At that moment, the Minister of Rites almost couldn't breathe and collapsed in the Golden Palace.
Imperial Physician Liu did not send any news all night, and he always thought that no news was good news.
How is this...
Could it be that Imperial Physician Liu failed?
Why didn't they inform us if they failed, or did Imperial Physician Liu get exposed?
If he was exposed, other people in the palace should have passed the message on. Yesterday he specially left one of his men among the guards on duty at the palace gate, just in case of emergency, so that there would be someone to pass the message.
Just when the Minister of Rites was feeling overwhelmed and confused, Rong Que looked at him and said in a pointed tone, "We arrested a few restless maids, eunuchs, and guards in the palace yesterday..."
At this point, Rong Que let out a long sound. Seeing the change in the expression on the face of the Minister of Rites, he turned to He Chao with satisfaction and said, "Send them to the Ministry of Justice to investigate today. Where do these people come from? They actually want to bribe the maidservant in front of the Queen to poison her. This is simply outrageous."
He Chao immediately accepted the order, "I obey your order."
Rong Que paused, "You have nothing to do in the morning court today. It's more important to investigate this case. You and Minglu should go and fetch the person now."
He Chao took the order and left.
The person who was arrested last night had almost traveled across half of the capital city when he was taken out of the palace by He Chao and sent to the Ministry of Justice prison.
The morning court session had not yet ended when Duke Xue vomited a mouthful of blood.
He had been planning for so long and hard, but now not only had he failed to get rid of Su Qingqing, he hadn't even driven a thorn between Su Qingqing and Rong Que?
What does this incident of Princess Da Qi mean?
How many days does it take to travel to Dayan Kingdom?
Now that I have arrived in the Great Yan Kingdom, I am afraid I haven’t even remembered what the bedroom in the palace looks like. Am I really going to be sent back now?
Is there no room at all?
Duke Xue was unwilling to accept this!
All his plans against Su Qingqing and Rong Que were completely thwarted.
He had never been treated so humiliatingly before. When he pounded his fist on the table, there was a knock on the study door outside. "Duke, the imperial edict has arrived."
Duke Xue was stunned.
Imperial edict?
What imperial edict?
Could it be that the emperor still wants to punish him?
What a foolish dream!
Full of anger, Duke Xue went out with an impatient look on his face to receive the order.
After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict read out the message, Duke Xue was shocked.
The emperor did not punish him.
The emperor valued him highly.
The emperor wants him to go to Guangdong and Guangxi to provide disaster relief!
He went to provide disaster relief?
Before he even received the imperial edict, Duke Xue felt a sweet and fishy feeling in his heart and vomited blood.
He vomited blood and was supported by servants to call a doctor. Poor Minister of Rites, he came out of the Golden Palace in a daze, and before he was fully awake, he was greeted by Xiao Yu with a fake smile.
"Master Xu, I have been ordered by His Majesty to accompany you to Da Qi to escort the Princess of Qi. Shall we set off now?"
Minister of Rites:!
