He said, "Duo!" and put the small bottle on the table. His smile faded and he said coldly: "General Zhu, why don't you ask him to test the medicine?"

"Yes!" Zhu Dan immediately stepped forward and said, "I respect you, general."

The waiter jumped up and wanted to run, but how could he outrun Zhu Dan? General Zhu grabbed the waiter, pinned him directly to the ground, pinched the waiter's cheeks, and the waiter shouted "Ahhh" , I felt my cheeks were sore, and my mouth opened involuntarily.

Gongsun Hua picked up the small medicine bottle on the desk, "Boom!" he opened the stopper, walked over with a smile on his face, and gently shook the small medicine bottle, making a "rustling" sound.

The waiter's eyes widened, his eyeballs getting bigger and bigger, but his pupils shrank smaller and smaller. His face was twisted into a distorted position due to fear, and he suddenly shouted "Ah! Ah!", as if he wanted to He wanted to say something, but his mouth was pinched by Zhu Dan and he couldn't say a complete sentence at all.

"Wait a minute." Qi Lu raised his hand leisurely and said, "He seems to have something to say?"

Zhu Dan immediately let go of the waiter, and the waiter fell to the ground with a bang. No one caught him now, but the waiter seemed to have drained all his strength. He fell to the ground, his legs were too weak to get up, and he trembled. Said: "Master... Master, please spare my life. I know... I know... I know..."

Qi Lu laughed and said, "Oh? What did you suddenly know?"

The baker said: "Xiao Chen... Xiao Chen suddenly remembered that this kind of... medicine mentioned by the Grand Tutor is indeed true. It is indeed true..."

Qi Lu raised his lips and said concisely: "Say."

The waiter was sweating all over, and the cold sweat was dripping down his temples. He lay on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Master, please forgive me, Master, please forgive me. Everything is the conspiracy of Mr. Gao Guo and has nothing to do with me." , even villains are being coerced!”

Qi Lu said calmly: "I am very busy, and I don't have time to listen to your nonsense. Let's focus on the important points."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Shanfu kowtowed and said, "They are all... all the young master of Gao Kingdom. I don't know how Gao Kingdom developed a kind of medicinal powder, which is said to be... said to be able to strengthen the body and prolong life..."

Uncle Gao is already quite old. Which monarch doesn't want to keep fit and prolong life? Moreover, monarchs also want to keep themselves strong and "a hundred times more energetic". In order to flatter Uncle Gao, the medical officer of Gao State developed a medicinal powder. To put it bluntly, it is used to aphrodisiac, making people feel hot and energetic, making them more energetic than usual.

This kind of medicinal powder is actually very common, so it’s not surprising. But later, this medicinal powder was improved by Mr. Gao Guo. The effect is better, and it also makes people feel ecstatic, and it clearly tastes terrible. , but after eating it, I thought about it day and night, and had trouble sleeping and eating. It is commonly known as addiction.

The chef said: "This young master of Gao Kingdom not only controlled Uncle Gao with medicine powder, but also... he also harmed the villain, secretly adding medicine powder to the villain's food, and seducing... seducing the villain into doing slutty things."

Qi Lu understood as soon as he heard this. It turned out that Young Master Gao Guo and the waiter were getting along, but it was mostly fake. After all, the waiter was just a slave, and although Young Master Gao Guo was the son of a small country, he was also the son of an earl. Can you really fall in love with this waiter?

Master Gao put this kind of medicine into the shanfu's food. When he got there the next day, he threatened the baker that if he didn't obey his orders, he would report him and humiliate him. Mr. Gao was a prince. , if the matter is exposed, even a hundred heads of the waiter will not be enough to lose.

The waiter chirped and said: "So... so I cannot... have to obey the orders of Master Gao!"

Prince Gao "bribed" the baker. Later, when Song Gong and Yi were disabled and were about to abdicate to Prince Feng, Prince Gao heard about this and asked the baker to tamper with Prince Feng's food.

It turns out that as early as in the time of Xue State, Master Gao had already had the idea of ​​harming Master Feng. After all, this medicine powder, if taken well, can dispel colds and cure diseases. If the dosage is appropriate, it can indeed strengthen yang. Once taken in large quantities, it will It is very harmful to the body. If the dosage is large, it is likely to cause sudden death. If Master Feng dies suddenly, the emperor will definitely trace it to the end, so Master Gao is ready to take a long-term approach and let the baker poison Master Feng little by little, without anyone noticing. They let Young Master Feng be chronically poisoned. In this way, when Young Master Feng was poisoned to death, no one would suspect poisoning. The medical officer also thought that Young Master Feng had some strange disease.

The waiter trembled and said: "Master Gao asked me to add a little to my diet every day. I... I was also helpless and coerced. Please show mercy to me." , have mercy!”

Qi Lu finally understood this matter. From the beginning to the end, Young Master Gao had good intentions. Song Gong and Yi were already cripples. If Young Master Feng was slowly poisoned to death, then the Song Kingdom would be leaderless and there would be chaos. Gao

The country could take advantage of the situation and sneak in. However, what Young Master Gao didn't expect was that after Young Master Feng was chronically poisoned, the accumulated heat dissipated from his eyes, so his eyesight was greatly reduced, which allowed Qi Lu and others to discover the clues.

It can be said that what Mr. Gao wanted at the beginning was not just Mr. Feng’s eyes, but Mr. Feng’s life!

Qi Lu smiled faintly and said, "It's very good."

Prince Feng was trained by the emperor. Seeing that the emperor's majesty was spreading throughout the Song Dynasty, a greedy and greedy Gao country came. How could Qi Lu sit idly by and ignore it?

Qi Lu said: "Where is the medicine powder that Mr. Gao Guo gave you?"

When the waiter heard this, he was a little confused and said: "Master... Master, isn't what you are holding in your hand the medicine powder hidden by the minister?"

Qi Lu laughed out loud and asked Gongsun Hua to hold the lamp. Because the environment was too dim just now, the waiter couldn't see clearly. What Qi Lu took out from his wide sleeves was not any medicinal powder at all.

Qi Lu just wanted to deceive the waiter, so he found a bottle similar to the small bottle of Gao Guogong, added loose salt and some flour into it, and shook it "rustle and rustle", thinking that

It's medicine powder.

Qi Lu shook the small bottle, and the waiter suddenly became weak. He thought that Qi Lu had found the medicine powder that he had hidden, and it could be said that he had stolen it, so he did not dare to hide anything anymore. Little did he know that Qi Lu was just deceiving him. Then

The medicine bottle is not medicine powder at all.

Qi Lu smirked and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense and take out the medicine powder that Mr. Gao Guo gave you."

The shanfu had already confessed everything, so he didn't dare to resist anymore. He immediately took Zhu Dan to find the medicine powder. No wonder Qi Lu couldn't find it. It turned out that it wasn't in the shanfu's house at all, but in a place in the backyard of the kitchen.

Buried under a tree.

Zhu Dan dug out the small bottle, and Qi Lu asked the medical officer to check the powder.

The medical officer poured out some powder from the small bottle, distinguished it, and said in shock: "Hui Taifu, this is poison! It is very toxic, and they are all potent drugs. If Mr. Song really consumed this

It makes sense to use medicinal powder. No wonder it doesn’t work if you use the decoction to cool down the fire every day. How can this work?”

Now the truth came to light. Qi Lu took the waiter to see Song Gong and Yi and Prince Feng. The emperor heard about it and rushed over.

Young Master Feng didn't expect that someone around him would take action. Song Gong and Yi were furious. Even though his legs were now disabled and he was walking with a slight limp, his temper was not bad at all. He grabbed the waiter's clothes.

The collar man yelled angrily: "How dare you, a little butler, try to kill the young master? I will kill you today!"

Song Gong and Yi were furious and wanted to kill the waiter for plotting to kill Prince Feng, but Qi Lu said, "Song Gong is not busy being angry."

Song Gong and Yi looked at Qi Lu with dark faces and trembling angrily.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "This waiter is certainly hateful, but he is not the instigator. Just killing him will not do any good. Isn't all the hardship Mr. Song has suffered in vain?"

Duke Song and Yi frowned slightly and said, "In your opinion...?"

Qi Lu raised his eyebrows, obviously thinking of some bad idea, and said: "Song Gong, think about it, this is just a minor minister. The reason why Master Gao dominates this minor minister is because he has no Gao in his hands."

Mr. Guo’s background, even if this matter is exposed in front of everyone, Mr. Gao can just shout a false accusation and get away, right?"

Although the medicine powder belongs to Mr. Gao Guo, it is not fatal when used in the right amount. Even if it can be used as poison, no one can prove that it was Mr. Gao who gave it to the shanfu. It is just one-sided words of the shanfu. Mr. Gao Guo can

It is said that the waiter stole it, or simply that the waiter wanted to frame him.

Qi Lu said: "If we can't catch Mr. Gao, it will be bad if he escapes, so Lu has a plan..."

When Ji Lin saw Qi Lu's smile, he knew that he was thinking of a bad idea. This time, Master Gao was afraid that he would be in trouble, so he said, "Since Master Qi has an idea, let's tell him quickly, so as not to worry Duke Song."

in a hurry."

Qi Lu said: "Actually, this method is very simple. It is to lure the snake out of the hole and let Mr. Gao show his weakness."

Young Master Feng's eyesight has declined and his health has deteriorated. Young Master Gao's goal should be to kill Young Master Feng. However, if it is revealed that Young Master Feng has become blind, Young Master Feng will not have to die and will not be able to inherit the throne of the country.

Qi Lu said: "Why don't we stand still and secretly reveal the problem with Mr. Song's eyes to Mr. Gao..."

He asked the poisoned baker to cooperate with the acting, and continued to pretend to have poisoned Young Master Feng, but secretly asked the medical officer to nurse Young Master Feng back to health. Without the toxicity of the medicine powder, Young Master Feng was strong again, and recovery was not a problem.

When the deficiency fire in the body subsides, the eyesight will naturally improve.

However, they revealed the situation about Young Master Feng's eyesight problem and deliberately informed Young Master Gao. I'm afraid Young Master Gao would be very happy to know about this.

Qi Lu said with a smile: "Lü guess, the enthronement ceremony in a few days will be very lively. Young Master Gao will definitely stand up and point out the fact that Young Master Song is a blind man, and let everyone attack Young Master Song together. In this way..."

At that time, regardless of whether the Master of the State of Gao poisoned him or not, as long as Master Feng can stand up and slap the Master of the State of Gao in the face, the Master of the State of Gao will have a slanderous name and lose face in front of the emperor.

Qi Lu smiled and said: "In this way, there is no need for others to get the stolen goods at the same time, so that the young master of Gao Kingdom can reap the consequences."

When Song Gong and Yi heard this, they couldn't help but feel happy, but they also had some difficulties. They whispered: "Master, Feng'er's condition..."

There are only a few days left before the enthronement ceremony. Young Master Feng is so seriously ill that his vision has deteriorated to the point where he can no longer see anything clearly. If Young Master Feng cannot recover his eyesight before the ceremony, wouldn't it be...

Qi Lu comforted him and said, "Young Master Song is at ease. Lu has just asked the medical officer. The medical officer said that as long as he stops taking the medicine and takes good care of himself, there will be no problem with Mr. Song's eyesight."

When Song Gong and Yi heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's really great!"

Qi Lu paused and then said: "There's just one more thing, that is...this medicine powder has a certain addictive effect. Now that the medicine powder is suddenly stopped, Mr. Song will probably suffer a little."

It doesn't matter if you take this medicine and take it once or twice. There will be no problem if you use a small amount. However, Mr. Feng was poisoned and his eyes have problems. It can be seen that the dosage is not small. I am afraid that he has become addicted. It will be a problem to quit.

.

When Song Gong and Yi heard this, they glared at the waiter angrily and said, "You mediocre dog!"

As he spoke, he kicked the waiter hard. The waiter fell out, got up and knelt on the ground and said, "Spare my life, please forgive me!"

Prince Feng was very calm, and even smiled and said: "Feng'er has suffered too much and doesn't care about it."

Song Gong and Yi just had no confidence in kicking people. He looked down at Young Master Feng lying on the couch and felt very guilty, because most of the hardships Young Master Feng suffered were given to him by himself...

Ji Lin then said, "This method is very good. If this is the case, then we need the cooperation of the cook."

The waiter knelt on the ground and kowtowed. How dare he disagree? He immediately said: "I am willing to cooperate! I am willing to cooperate!"

Qi Lu quickly let the waiter go. As if nothing happened that day, the waiter continued to prepare meals for Young Master Feng, but Young Master Feng would not eat the food the waiter cooked.

The only thing left is to reveal the problem with Young Master Feng's eyes to Young Master Gao and lure this big fish into taking the bait.

In the past, Young Master Feng kept this matter secret and was unwilling to reveal it to anyone, so few people in the palace knew about it. Now if he wants to reveal it, he can't be too public about it, and he has to reveal it secretly. He must let Gao Guo know about it.

The young master felt that he secretly knew the shocking secret, so that was all.

Qi Lu specially arranged for Young Master Feng to practice archery. He asked Young Master Feng to prepare early and waited for Young Master Gao to pass by. He accidentally revealed the blindness to Young Master Gao.

Young Master Feng took his bow and arrow and waited for a long time. Qi Lu, Ji Lin, Duke Song and Yi were hiding in the dark, secretly watching. For some reason, Young Master Gao should have passed by this hour on weekdays. Today

Why is there no one there yet?

Qi Lu whispered: "Lv go check it out."

As he spoke, he secretly ran forward for a while, but he didn't run too far. He quickly turned back and whispered: "It's coming, it's coming!"

When Prince Feng heard that Qi Lu was coming, he immediately picked up his bow and arrows and showed himself practicing archery. The other three quickly hid behind the rockery to prevent Prince Gao from seeing them.

Sure enough, Young Master Gao Guo passed by and saw Young Master Feng practicing archery alone at a glance. With a sound of "Zheng——", Young Master Feng, who usually shot through the Yangtze at a hundred steps, unexpectedly missed the target and flew out.

Mr. Gao Guo was a smart man, so he stopped instantly and walked over strangely.
