Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 184 The Death of Chu Xuan
The news that Chu Xuan was arrested and brought to justice quickly spread in Chang'an circles. Jin Yu was overjoyed that he could finally sleep soundly now (although he slept soundly every night), but some people felt very uncomfortable. For example - little fat man.

The little fat man pretended to be sick at home, but when he received the news, his back pain disappeared, his breathing became smoother, and his steps became stronger, but his head started to sweat.This is not a disease, but the little fat man has a guilty conscience.

The little fat man paced up and down, not having an idea in his mind, what should we do?Chu Xuan knew everything about it, if he said that in Dali Temple, he would lose his throne!How can this be done?If Chu Xuan was still here, what would he do?Thinking of Chu Xuan, when the little fat man came up with an idea, Chu Xuan would definitely say, "One knife, one click, one is all over".In view of the sensitivity of this matter, the little fat man didn't intend to cut Chu Xuan with a knife.Before Chu Xuan escaped, he left a suggestion to the little fat man, plus a pack of powder, the top poison known as "killing people invisible". He planned to give it to his prince brother in two years. Verify it on your body to save future mistakes.

When the little fat man was considering how to deal with it, there was another person who was weighing the weight of the matter, and this person was the little fat man's father——Li Er.Li Er's mentality at this time is not only an emperor, but also a father's point of view. If Chu Xuan confessed to Qingque in Dali Temple, what should he do next?Is it possible that grounding the green sparrow is not enough?Qing Que is a teenager!

Li Er thought for a while, and came up with a method similar to that of the little fat man. He called Li Yifeng to explain it, and Li Yifeng nodded and took the order to leave.

Li Er really hated that ignorant Luoyang county magistrate now, and sending Chu Xuan to Chang'an now was like cutting a knife between father and son!What's the use of promoting this kind of ignorant person?
Fortunately, Li Er is not the kind of narrow-minded person, otherwise, if we go deeper, the magistrate of Luoyang County will inevitably end up rising up and down until he guards the city gate.If the magistrate of Luoyang County knew how things ended like this, he probably wanted to die, so why was he rushing to find a way out?

No matter what others thought, Chu Xuan and his party still rushed towards Chang'an in a leisurely manner.Among the prisoners, Chu Xuan received unique treatment. He ate and drank all the way. If he was not in the prison car, he would have mistakenly thought he was out hunting.

When it was three days away from Chang'an, the two gangs sent by Li Erye met with people from Luoyang, and the poisoning came one after another.

It is said that Li Er was poisoned by his brother back then, even to the point of vomiting blood, but the credibility is not very high.Li Er is such a smart person, can he get the way easily?It is estimated that he did it for himself for a while, then vomited some dye, and put eye drops on his brother by the way.

The order Li Yifeng accepted was very simple, just add some crotons to Chu Xuan's diet.Li Er didn't intend to let Chu Xuan die suddenly. It's better for Chu Xuan to go back and hang up. After he loses his energy and can't move, he will "feel the wind and chill" when he sees a little wind, right?At that time, it would be reasonable to "die violently" in prison.This can not only cover up Qingque's suspicion, but also give Jin Yu an explanation, which is very good.

The medicine given to Chu Xuan by the little fat man was a compound of some rare metal, which would be called "metal poisoning" in later generations, but it was difficult to find out.

The two gangs sent by the father and son played tricks on Chu Xuan at the same time.If these tricks were not carried out at the same time, Chu Xuan might really get his wish, but if they were carried out at the same time, the effect would be compromised.

Croton's detoxification effect is not superficial, Chu Xuan's pouring frequency is more than eight times a day to the toilet, just tossing a frail scholar into a frail noodle that is swaying in the wind.

This is a hard time for the pigs and Gouwa, Chu Xuan is their cash cow, if he dies like this, wouldn't he lose everything?So the two brothers took care of Chu Xuan with all their heart.The yamen servants saw it, well, there is no need for them to take action, the county magistrate had the foresight to assign such two people, otherwise who would be able to do this job of serving others?
The nickname of "Bamboo Pole" is not for nothing, it doesn't mean that he is like "Bamboo Gentleman", but it is a metaphor for this person's insidiousness, just like bamboo knots, the intrigues and tricks in the middle are always connected to each other.It's just that Chu Xuan didn't expect that the idea he gave to the little fat man at that time would be used on his head so quickly.

Fortunately, with the help of Croton, Chu Xuan did not "fall ill" according to the little fat man's wishes, but after three days, Chu Xuan was no different from a dead person.Sao Zhuer gritted his teeth and found a doctor for Chu Xuan, but at that time Chu Xuan was already in a coma. "Seeing, hearing, asking, and knowing", if there is one missing "ask", then the doctor can only rely on his own thinking to make a diagnosis.Not long after, Chu Xuan was prescribed several doses of veterinary medicine, which was enough to make Chu Xuan faint for a few more rounds.

Jinjiazhuangzi is the only way from Luoyang to Chang'an, and the yamen servant was ordered by the county magistrate before leaving, so as soon as he crossed the Chan River, the yamen servant escorted Chu Xuan to cooperate with the pig to ask for a reward from Jinyu.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have to worship our ancestors. Since the second day of junior high school, Cheng Huaimo has come to Jinjiazhuangzi to enjoy the autumn wind. Today, the old man has accumulated food, and tomorrow, the son wets the bed, so he almost said that his wife can't breastfeed!Anyway, every time he had his own reasons to rob Jin Yu, he took all the odds and ends to his home.Today is no exception.

Jin Yu and his daughter-in-law were enjoying the northwest wind in the backyard, when Cheng Huaimo rushed in, "Hey, brother, sister-in-law, are you so elegant? How about enjoying the plum blossoms?"

It has just snowed, the ground is thin, and the branches are dotted with blossoming plum blossoms. The scenery is really good, it would be even better if Cheng Huaimo didn't come to disturb him.Jin Yu glanced at Cheng Huaimo, "Who is not feeling well today?" Jin Yu was not polite to Cheng Huaimo, this baby came to his house just for a bite of delicious food, what is hateful is to disturb the time between himself and his wife.

Cheng Huaimo rubbed his head and smiled embarrassedly, "No, everything is fine, but I'm flustered when I don't see my brother, this is just to see my brother." Cheng Huaimo has a thick skin, and he rode all the way in the cold weather without any redness on his face of.

"Yeah." Jin Yu nodded. It's rare that Cheng Huaimo found such a high-sounding reason. It wouldn't be beautiful if he didn't tease him once. He just wrote a poem and wanted to tease Yang Ying. Let Cheng Huaimo use it first. . "It's because you have a heart, I just wrote a poem for my brother, read it silently and listen to it."

Looking at the two lines of writing under Jin Yu's feet, Cheng Huaimo hesitated for a moment, no wonder he saw Jin Yu squatting on the ground when he entered the yard just now, so he was writing a poem!But I don't understand?It would be much better if Qin Huaiyu came to read it, but Cheng Huaimo did not refuse Jin Yu's assignment, and read it according to the words on the ground, "Dark plum smells the flowers, and the lying branches hurt the bottom. It is heard from afar that it is like water, and it is easy to reach spring green." .”

"Good poetry, brother, you have a great literary talent!" Carried by a sedan chair, Cheng Huaimo couldn't see anything wrong just by looking at the words, so he casually praised Jin Yu, who asked him to ask Jin Yu for anything else?
The reader has no intention, but the listener has the intention. When Cheng Huaimo read, Yang Ying tried her best to hold back her laughter. Cheng Huaimo praised Jin Yu again, and Yang Ying finally couldn't help laughing behind Jin Yu's back.

"Since Huaimo likes it, I'll give it to you." Jin Yu was very generous, and he couldn't help laughing after he finished speaking.These ancient days are really boring, why do literati hold poetry gatherings regardless of the seasons?Not because I love literature, but because I feel uncomfortable.How many people can bear the boring days of going to bed when you are full and reading a book when you wake up?Jin Yu has also been bored recently, so he made fun of Yang Ying a lot, and today he finally met someone who took advantage of him again, which is very good.

Cheng Huaimo looked at Jinyu and his wife's laughing chicken thief, savored it carefully, and finally understood the connotation of this "good poem".

Yang Ying took the opportunity to back out, leaving space for her husband and Cheng Huaimo.After the sister-in-law went out, Cheng Huaimo looked at Jin Yu resentfully, "Brother, you are too kind."

"You're stupid, can you blame me?" Jin Yu replied innocently with clear eyes.

Cheng Huaimo still glared at Jin Yu resentfully, Jin Yu was defeated, if this was seen by others, maybe something would come out. "White buttocks dry way" and "addiction of broken sleeves" are disgusting just thinking about them, Jin Yu shuddered, and begged for mercy, "Say it, what are you doing? As long as I can do it, big brother, I will never refuse!"

Cheng Huaimo was overjoyed. Although he and Jin Yu hadn't seen each other, he had repeatedly found excuses to play the autumn wind in the past two days. "This```I heard that pig's trotters can promote milk?"

Jin Yu thought to himself: Well, it seems that the reason has finally come. Old Fairy Cheng can think of any reason to eat in one bite. This kind of fearless spirit is worthy of respect "Bah"!
"Use the front hoof to promote lactation. Cook it directly without seasoning. If your younger siblings think it's too vegetarian, just add a little coarse salt." Not much, there are many tendons, and the collagen is much higher than that of the hind hoof. It is best for cooking and freezing.

"Is it okay to eat pork skin jelly?" Cheng Huaimo guided Jin Yu step by step into the small pit he dug.

"It's too cold, not suitable for breastfeeding women. You may as well eat it, and I'll write you the recipe later." Jin Yu didn't bother to play tricks with the stick, so he quickly dismissed the matter.

Jin Yu's words made Cheng Huaimo's face happy, the pig's trotter jelly is really delicious, the old man took a good bite, it's not bad to eat by himself, warm the pot of wine, drink lightly, it's very good!

As soon as I finished writing here, before the ink was dry, the servants came to report: The debt collector is here!

debt collection?Jin Yu was at a loss, didn't he owe money outside?

Cheng Huaimo looked at Jin Yu suspiciously, "Brother is in debt outside? If it's not convenient, brother still has some living money at hand, why don't you help me first?"

Jin Yu patted Cheng Huaimo on the shoulder, "It's not easy to save two private money, Huaimo should keep it for himself."

Cheng Huaimo became even more suspicious, asking for debts, how could anyone come to the door without asking?Especially for a person with a head and a face, since it's not a matter of money, could it be that his eldest brother has raised a housemate outside? "Love debt?" Cheng Huaimo asked tentatively, in exchange for a slap.

Cheng Huaimo wore a leather hat and slapped it down, causing Jin Yu's hand to hurt, "Thinking about it! Go out and have a look, brother has such a good reputation, how can there be any debts?"

When the two came to the door, they finally understood what was going on.Twenty or so old men didn't know how to wear a hat or anything, their noses were red from the cold, and they rubbed their hands and didn't know how to speak.

It was the yamen servant who was well-informed, explained his intentions, and obtained a letter written by the county magistrate from Xun Zhuer, coupled with his own identity certificate, Jin Yu was convinced that this group of people was indeed on a business trip.

It is true that Chu Xuan is a key person, but he is not an important person. He is far from finding a substitute to top the vat. Looking at the half-dead humanoid object in the prison car, Jin Yu didn't even bother to verify it.

They have sent their "sweetheart" here from thousands of miles away, why should they entertain them?Although the restaurants in the city haven't opened yet, the restaurant by the bridge has begun to take shape and has become Jinyu's designated hotel for entertaining officials without rank.The yamen servant in Luoyang was also one of the Wupin officials of the Tang Dynasty. He pretended to decline the earl's kindness for a while, but finally "smiled and accepted", and he could give himself some bragging rights when he went back, wouldn't he?Very long face!

The reward silver was given to Xun Zhuer in front of the yamen servant, Xun Zhuer pressed his fingerprints, and the two were cleared.Everyone is happy.

Jin Yu doesn't need to come forward to greet these officials, Hu Yue is enough.Jin Yu has been in Datang for almost a year, and apart from all kinds of rules, this "frame" is the fastest to learn.The idea that everyone is equal does not work here. If you talk to the farmer with a good face, the farmer will think you are sick!How can there be such a master?He must be trying to trick his own Erya, didn't it be rumored that the master had learned some method of "harvesting yin and replenishing yang"?You can't let your girl suffer!

After a long time, Jin Yu was powerless to compromise. He couldn't do the job of putting a hot face on someone's cold butt, so it's better to do as the Romans do.

"Congratulations brother, I have been wronged! Tomorrow, my little brother Feng Diexuan will be the host to celebrate big brother, and I hope big brother will show his face!" Everyone rushed to the small restaurant over there, and Cheng Huaimo clasped his fists at Jin Yu. After a while, he was sent by the old man after a year like a lost dog. He didn't have time to have fun at all. If he seized this fair opportunity, the old man would not criticize him.

Jin Yu originally wanted to refuse, but Cheng Huaimo didn't expect Cheng Huaimo not to give him this opportunity, leading the horse, getting on the horse, and galloping away, still yelling: "Tomorrow at noon, see you soon!"

As long as Jinyu shakes his head and returns home, isn't that just drinking flower wine? Who is afraid of who?I call on Mu Tangchun to accompany you, boy, to see if you dare to be arrogant in front of your father's best friend!Jin Yu laughed like a rogue.

When Chu Xuan was sent to Dali Temple, he was no different from a vegetable, obviously exhaling more air than inhaling.As for state agencies, efficiency is not built upon. After a while, someone took a few pieces of paper, dipped Chu Xuan's fingers in some ink pad and covered them, and the case was considered closed.

The Tang Dynasty was still very humane. When a criminal got sick, the officials would ask a doctor to show him. In a situation like Chu Xuan's, it was all about human affairs.

Chu Xuan lost consciousness due to urination, and was forced to drink a few times of bitter medicine. Before Li Eryu approved it, he had already reported it to his concubine "Chrysanthemum", and he couldn't even catch up with the meal .
