Chapter 80: Smallpox rotten flesh!
"Then why did you change your mind?"
Jia Lingyao looked at the swaying lotus flowers on the lake and said, "Your Highness is different now. He is so responsible to my great Zhou Shang, so he must be no worse to his own little family!"
Xiao Yan laughed: "Then do you know my past? Do you mind?"
Jia Lingyao shook her head and said, "If Your Highness is still the same as before, I would not show up today."
"I know your past, so I don't mind. Isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?"
"Don't you have a confidante in the East Palace?"
Xiao Yan didn't expect that Jia Lingyao knew him so well.
"As long as you don't mind, I'm fine."
At this time, Jia Lingyao turned around and looked at Xiao Yan.
"Your Highness is really unique. Don't you even ask about my affairs?"
The two looked at each other and Xiao Yan shook his head slightly.
"I have decades to get to know you slowly. There's no rush!"
Jia Lingyao smiled knowingly. After living for decades, isn't this kind of slow-paced attitude what we need?
"Since Your Highness has made such preparations, I have nothing to say."
Xiao Yan nodded. Although the two had only had a brief contact, they had basically understood each other's personalities.
Xiao Yan is a wild man with an unruly soul, but deep down he also has a peaceful soul.
"Let's go back and see how the two of them are playing chess."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Sir, it is confirmed. The prince is ill. The secret agents in the palace also said so."
Hu Zhenghe immediately became excited after hearing this.
"Okay, this is an opportunity. We should find a way to make this prince lie on this bed forever and never get up."
In fact, they had no idea that the hidden agent could not get close to the Eastern Palace, they just inquired about the news.
"Sir, how do I do this?"
"It seems that there is nothing important happening in the court right now. It will be difficult for you to establish your authority."
Hu Zhenghe glanced at the housekeeper and said, "If there is nothing going on, then make something happen. Don't you have the ability to do that?"
"Isn't the prince infected with an infectious disease? Then play with an infectious disease!"
"It's time to dig out the jar that was buried before and contained the rotten smallpox flesh!"
This is Hu Zhenghe's big killer weapon. If this thing really breaks out in the imperial city, it will be the end of us .
Of course, Hu Zhenghe would not be stupid enough to spread this thing in the imperial city. If this thing really spread in the imperial city, he would probably be in trouble as well.
Smallpox is an incurable disease, and no one can guarantee whether it will hurt themselves.
"Master, do we really need to use that thing?"
"If this breaks out, countless people will suffer."
The butler hesitated, but if he was asked to do some small things to cause trouble for Xiao Yan, he would be happy to do it.
But this matter is really against the will of heaven and earth, and the number of deaths will definitely not be small.
"Nonsense, now I have no choice. Xiao Yan must not get up."
"If you can get this thing to the East Palace, I will guarantee you a promotion and wealth."
The housekeeper was stunned for a moment. This thing couldn't even be delivered to the East Palace, let alone to the wall of the East Palace.
"Look at your cowardly look, let's find a place far away from the capital to let it explode."
"As long as we can contain Xiao Yan, that's enough!"
The butler still hesitated and said, "Master, this thing will kill many civilians. Do you really want to do this?"
Hu Zhenghe glanced at the housekeeper with disdain: "They are just a bunch of lowly people. If they die, they die. It will save food."
"Just do it boldly. If anything goes wrong, the master will take care of it. What are you afraid of?"
The housekeeper was in agony at this moment. After all, if he really did such a thing, he would feel really guilty.
The word "untouchable" also hurt him deeply.
"Yes, I understand. I will do it right away!"
Hu Zhenghe believed the butler 's answer very much. After all, this butler had done many bad things to him.
He has a lot of evidence in his hands and he has no right to betray himself.
But things are often unexpected.
The housekeeper did not dig the jar, but went to find Guo Youzhi. After all, he was not yet capable of meeting Xiao Yan.
"Oh? Why did Butler Hu come to my place today ?"
The housekeeper quickly said, "Master Guo, something is going to happen. It's a big thing!"
Guo Youzhi looked at the housekeeper's nervous expression and knew that this matter should not be simple.
"Come with me!"
After the two of them arrived at Guo Youzhi's study, Guo Youzhi asked, "What's the matter? Don't be anxious, just tell me slowly."
Then the butler told Hu Zhenghe what he had asked him to do.
"Does Hu Zhenghe really want to die? If this thing is not handled properly, it will spread throughout the Great Zhou. Does Hu Zhenghe want to drag everyone to death with him?"
"Where is the jar?"
The butler dared not say anything at this time. Whether he told the location of the jar or exploded the jar himself, he would be dead.
"Master Guo, I cannot tell you where this thing is right now. You have to agree to one condition of mine."
Guo Youzhi was extremely anxious, so what conditions could he put forward at this time?
"you say!"
The housekeeper took a deep breath and said, "You also know that from the moment I stepped into your house, the servant of the Hu Mansion could not go back."
"I want Lord Guo to save my life."
"If Your Highness holds me accountable for my crimes in the future, please spare my life for today's sake, Lord Guo."
Guo Youzhi thought it was a condition, and he could naturally agree to it.
"No problem. I can absolutely guarantee this. Although you have done countless bad things before, this one good thing has saved countless lives. This is a merit."
"Don't worry, you won't lose your life."
After hearing this, the butler slowly told Guo Youzhi the location of the jar.
Guo Youzhi did not dare to delay for a moment. He could not guarantee whether Hu Zhenghe would send someone else because the housekeeper did not go back to report.
The next person really doesn't have the courage of this butler.
After all, this thing is no joke.
Although it was already night, Guo Youzhi still arrived at the city gate.
"Stop, who are you?"
Guo Youzhi immediately shouted: "Open the city gate quickly. I am Guo Youzhi, the Minister of Justice. A major case is about to happen. I will send out part of the city guards with me. If it is too late, it will cause immeasurable losses."
The general guarding the city was also stunned. This must be a very urgent matter.
"Master Guo, please explain clearly, otherwise the city gate cannot be opened tonight. If the gate cannot be opened tonight, it will be troublesome!"
