Chapter 87

Fortunately, Wen Moyan's eyes did not linger on Shen Wangshu too much, but looked at the two brothers Qinglan and Qingyue, and asked, "Have you gained anything?"

Qinglan took a step forward and said, "My lord is right. Those who are sick are common people. What these common people have in common is that they all get water from the mouth of the public well. My lord, do you want to detoxify the mouth of the well directly? Once it comes, there will be no common people getting sick one after another.”

Wen Moyan shook his head slightly and said: "It's useless. The water at the wellhead is actually flowing. Whether it's poison or antidote, after putting it in the wellhead, it will disappear within a day or two at most. Every day at dawn, before the people get water, the wellhead is poisoned, so that the people can be poisoned one after another."

"Then the subordinate sent someone to guard the mouth of the well to catch the perpetrator?" Qing Lan asked.

Wen Moyan looked at Qing Lan, and smiled wryly: "Little fool, there are so many wells in the capital, how can the guards of Prince Qin's Mansion survive?"

Qing Lan scratched her head in embarrassment, and said, "Then... what should I do? While the concubine is detoxifying, the people behind the scenes are poisoning. In this way, everyone is doing useless work? Or... Do you not tell the people that the water at the mouth of the well cannot be drunk?"

Shuang Yuanxing interrupted: "No, there are so many people in the capital who rely on the mouth of the well to get water, if you tell them not to drink, everyone will swarm towards the river outside the city, and I'm afraid there will be even bigger troubles. "

Wen Moyan found a chair and sat down, poured herself a cup of tea, and took a slow sip.

Everyone was nervous, only she looked very relaxed.

Shen Wangshu thought about it carefully, and then asked: "Princess Wangfei, do you already have a countermeasure?"

Wen Moyan said with a smile: "Whether it's an antidote or a poison, there is a cost. The people behind the scenes will soon have no money to buy the raw materials for the poison."

"Why?" Frost Yuanxing was a little puzzled.

Qingyue took a step forward, and said, "Is it related to what Wangfei Empress ordered my subordinates today?"

"What did she tell you?" Shuang Yuanxing was even more puzzled.

Qingyue hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness King Xiang said, my subordinates are responsible for purchasing all the heavy buildings and ground sandalwood inside and outside the capital, which are [-]% higher than the market price."

Shuang Yuanxing thought for a while and said, "You want to raise the price of medicinal materials?"

Wen Moyan nodded and said: "A few days ago, they have tasted the sweetness of being an antidote, and I believe they will not give up this good fortune in the future. Now I am detoxifying everyone in the Nuwa Temple, and I need pilgrims to add sesame oil Money, they will think that I am cutting off their beards halfway and cutting off their financial resources. So they will only be more anxious to make an antidote. Maybe they will raise the price of herbal medicine to [-]%."

Speaking of this, Wen Moyan looked at Shuang Yuanxing, smiled and said: "At that time, if I add another [-]%, they may double it. When all their money is used to buy heavy buildings and land Sandalwood, naturally no money to buy poison."

Frost Yuanxing nodded knowingly.

Shen Wangshu on the side was not so optimistic, he frowned slightly and asked: "What if they don't want to buy heavy buildings and ground sandalwood at a high price? When the Qin Palace buys so much, won't it be thrown into their hands?"

Wen Moyan patted Shen Wangshu on the shoulder, and said, "Physician Shen is an honest man, and he doesn't understand the thinking of those businessmen. They have worked so hard to play such a big game of chess, but in the end they are making wedding dresses for others. How can they be willing?" ? If they really retreat in spite of the difficulties, then I can really look up to these opponents. But I think, they won't, at least they won't just watch the people in Prince Qin's mansion take advantage of the wind and make the wind flourish. "

Speaking of this, Wen Moyan shouted: "Dong Steward, Dong Steward."

Butler Dong rushed in and asked, "My Majesty, what are your orders?"

Wen Moyan said: "Go find me the most flamboyant clothes, and find some more gold and silver jewelry."

Steward Dong responded, "Yes, this old slave is going right away."

Shuang Yuanxing looked at Wen Moyan and asked, "What do you want these for?"

Wen Moyan smiled with crooked eyebrows: "Go to the street tomorrow, let the people behind the scenes see the wealth and power of our Prince Qin's mansion, and cut off his beard. He will only be more anxious to make money at that time."

Shuang Yuanxing nodded clearly: "So that's the case, this plan is very clever!"

Wen Moyan smiled and said: "Speaking of business, have you seen the person I asked you to watch for me?"

Shuang Yuanxing nodded and said, "I see."

"Who did you see?" Shuang Feichen walked in from the outside while speaking.

As soon as Shuang Feichen came, Wen Moyan immediately became cautious.

She hurriedly stood up from the chair, lowered her head, and stood behind Shen Wangshu.

Shuang Feichen couldn't help frowning when he saw how she was seeking asylum.

But before he could pull Wen Moyan to his side, Shuang Yuanxing said, "Today I saw a few people in the crowd in front of Nuwa Temple who were not there to treat illnesses."

"Isn't it for medical treatment? To watch the excitement?" Shuang Feichen asked doubtfully.

Shuang Yuanxing frowned and said, "It's kind of like, anyway, Seventh Sister-in-Law just asked me to watch to see if I went to Nuwa Temple, but she didn't line up to worship God."

"Then who did you see?" Shuang Feichen asked.

Shuang Yuanxing continued: "The prince's bodyguard, Baichuan, and the servant girl Taoye of General Pingrong's mansion."

Hearing this, Wen Moyan subconsciously looked up at Shuang Yuanxing, and asked in surprise, "Peach leaf? The peach leaf next to my second sister?"

Shuang Yuanxing nodded slightly, indicating that he was not mistaken, and he was not lying, and by the way, he gave Wen Moyan a sympathetic look.

When Shen Wangshu heard this, he continued: "The common people think that this is an epidemic that is transmitted from person to person, so those who are not infected now will not go to places where crowds gather. Today, all the people who went to Nuwa Temple are to ask God to resolve it. Illness. How could anyone risk their life to watch the excitement?"

Shuang Feichen continued: "So they didn't come to watch the excitement at all. They went to confirm whether this Princess Qin, who claims to be a descendant of Nuwa, is really capable of treating people's diseases. They will care about this There are only two kinds of people involved in this matter. One is the mastermind behind the poisoning of everyone. The other is..."

"There is another kind, which is to spread rumors that Seventh Sister-in-law is the person behind the evildoer." Shuang Yuanxing glanced at Wen Moyan worriedly, then frowned and said, "I didn't expect your second sister to be such a person, even framed her own sister." .”

Obviously, everyone always thought that Wen Mohou could only spread rumors and cause trouble, and would not poison the people of the city, so bold and reckless.

When Wen Moyan heard this, she couldn't help but sigh a little, because Wen Mohou in the original book was not like this.
