Zhou Yuanliang often comes to the North Courtyard recently, not to visit Yun Que, but to visit Luo Xiaoyu.
He was carrying a large food box, and the aroma of food wafted from it. When he saw Luo Xiaoyu, he immediately burst into smiles, like a waiter.
"Have you eaten, Junior Sister Luo? Look, I brought you delicious food! The elbows from Yipinju and the roast duck from Xiankelou are still warm!"
"Marquis Yun is out of seclusion. What's this? Come on, let's eat together."
Unexpectedly, Zhou Yuanliang broke into Yun Que's room and laid out the food on the table.
Luo Xiaoyu's eyes brightened up when she saw something to eat. She pounced on the fish like a cat and ate it.
Yun Que had no choice but to go back into the house.
"Try the duck leg, it's fragrant and crispy! By the way, when Junior Sister Luo is free, come to my house and I'll treat you to a big dinner!"
Zhou Yuanliang said humbly, he had no choice but to lower his posture when asking for help from others.
"In two days, I still have to practice." Luo Xiaoyu asked with bulging cheeks: "Do you have the shortcakes you had last time?"
"Yes! Last time the kitchen didn't have enough ingredients and we didn't cook much. This time we will definitely take care of enough!" Zhou Yuanliang vowed.
"Just go there in a minute, I'm free! I'm free every day!" Luo Xiaoyu immediately said with eyes shining.
"Okay! Let's leave after eating, hehe." Zhou Yuanliang said with a sneer.
Yun Que shook his head after hearing this.
Naturally, he could see Zhou Yuanliang's thoughts. He clearly regarded Luo Xiaoyu as a drug tester and would take it home to his father for a drug test.
It's simply shameless.
Looking at Luo Xiaoyu whose mouth was full of oil after eating, Yun Que could only sigh.
This is even more hopeless.
A girl who can run away with just two pieces of candy and such a large table of delicacies, let alone a poison test, I guess she can be poisoned.
"Has the poison of Lord Chief Assistant been cured?" Yun Que said.
"It's no longer a problem. My master is not good at detoxifying. It was only after the sword was used that the disease was cured." Zhou Yuanliang said.
It turned out that it was Jian Shou's fault. Yun Que didn't have a good impression of the Southern Dean. For a disciple like Zhou Yuanliang, Quan Yu might not try his best to help.
"What kind of poison is it?" Luo Xiaoyu was very curious. The poison she had never seen before must not be simple.
"The sword head is said to be poisonous. It is very rare and should have been made by a barbarian." Zhou Yuanliang said.
"It's the barbarians again..." Yun Que was not surprised.
What made him secretly frightened was the barbarian's methods.
No matter whether it is a poisonous insect or a poisonous poison, it is impossible for it to reach the target on its own, someone must take action from it.
It seems that the barbarian spies have penetrated into the entire imperial city, almost to the point of being pervasive!
Neither the Duke of Yu's palace nor the residence of his chief minister Zhou Shibo were spared.
This is very scary to think about.
You must know that the chief minister of the dynasty must be protected by experts sent by the court. Even if Zhou Shibo's personal security is not up to the level of the emperor, it is similar to the level of those royal relatives and nobles. There must be many expert protection around him.
Even the top leaders of the dynasty could be poisoned without anyone noticing. The barbarians' methods must reach such an astonishing level.
Not to mention that as the leader of the military generals, the Duke of Yu, whose guards were all masters in the military, still followed the barbarian ways.
"How is Lan Yusheng's injury? Are you awake?" Yun Que asked.
"I just woke up yesterday. That guy was lucky enough to go around the Naihe Bridge and come back again." Zhou Yuanliang said with emotion.
"Is there any clue?" Yun Que said.
"No, Lan Yusheng only remembered that he went hunting on the outskirts of the city. For some reason, his vision went dark and he fell unconscious. When he woke up, he realized that he almost lost his life. When he learned that you had saved him, he kept saying that he wanted to come and take a look.
You." Zhou Yuanliang said.
"If you guard against thieves for a thousand days, you will surely make a mistake. Is there any way to solve this problem once and for all?" Yun Que said.
"Unless we dig out the barbarians' lair in the imperial city and kill them all, we can only be careful and have no other choice. After all, they are in the dark and we are in the open." Zhou Yuanliang sighed.
"Has there been any movement from the barbarians recently?" Yun Que asked.
"No, my father and Duke Yu used a lot of people to investigate, but they still had no clue. It's strange to say that these barbarians are heartless and only go into battle to kill. How come there are no flaws this time? The two assassinations were done flawlessly.
." Zhou Yuanliang said doubtfully.
If it weren't for the fact that poisons and poisons were something that the barbarians were proficient in, he would even suspect that the culprit of the two incidents had nothing to do with the barbarians and was someone else.
"The barbarians came in a strange way. I don't know what kind of conspiracy they are hiding. The safety of the chief minister and the Duke of Yu is of vital importance. It's best for the yamen to be careful." Yun Que reminded.
"Don't worry, Marquis Yun. Duke Yu has dispatched secret guards from the army to guard our two mansions. If the barbarians dare to act rashly, there will definitely be clues. I am used to being idle. My father thinks I am unreliable.
I have written to my sister in the past two days, and I think she will be back in the next two days."
Zhou Yuanliang really had a sister. Yun Que was a little surprised, thinking that this guy was just talking nonsense in the prison.
"What cultivation level does your sister have?" Yun Que asked curiously.
Without cultivation, whether a girl goes home or not has nothing to do with the safety of the chief minister.
If she is a weak woman and needs to dedicate a force to protect her, it is better not to come back.
"Of course!"
When Zhou Yuanliang mentioned his sister, he immediately became proud and said: "She is a true disciple of the Lingjian Sect. She has built a foundation of cultivation. She was the youngest and number one swordsman in the Sword Palace back then!"
Luo Xiaoyu was surprised when she heard this, and said: "Your sister is so powerful! She must not be very old!"
"Twenty-eight is the time when flowers are in bud and ready to bloom." Zhou Yuanliang raised his eyebrows and said coquettishly: "Didn't Marquis Yun still want to have fun at the beginning? How about I help you match them up? How about that?
"
Yun Que felt dizzy for a while.
This guy still remembers the saying in the sky prison, "Play with your sister."
Luo Xiaoyu said with great interest: "Is your sister having fun? Let me play too, let's play together!"
Zhou Yuanliang almost choked and coughed a few times to change the topic.
"By the way, the pastor sister was in a hurry to go out this morning. When she saw that I was coming to the North Campus, she asked me to bring this to you."
As Zhou Yuanliang took out a piece of paper, Yun Que opened it and saw that it was the IOU for 100 million taels of silver.
Originally this IOU was left by Yun Que to Mu Qingzhou, but unexpectedly it was transferred back.
Looked carefully,
There was an extra handprint where the signature was signed, and the words "Mu Qingzhou" were clearly written below the handprint.
When Yun Que left the IOU to Mu Qingzhou, he wanted to prevent Mu Gui from defaulting on the debt. He didn't care whether he could get it back or not, but he wanted to disgust the old man Mu Gui to death first.
Unexpectedly, there were more signatures and fingerprints of Mu Qingzhou!
This shows that regardless of whether Mu Gui acknowledges it or not, Mu Qingzhou, as the head of the Mu family, has accepted the IOU.
Seeing the signature, Yun Que was a little unsure of Mu Qingzhou's intention.
While he was deep in thought, Zhou Yuanliang said in a heavy voice: "The Mu family, something happened."
Yun Que's eyebrows moved.
He had expected that something would happen to the Mu family, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Zhou Yuanliang told the story in detail.
The cause was that a mine belonging to the Mu family was found to be trading with the barbarians, selling weapons to them.
The Mujia Mine provides weapons to the barbarians, which is a serious crime!
Long Yan was furious and ordered an investigation.
Overnight, all the Mu family's mines were shut down, and the entire family, young and old, were taken to jail.
The Mu family has been working hard on this matter, spending countless amounts of money, but with little success.
If they fail to find out the truth for a day, the herdsmen will be unable to leave the prison. If they dare to escape from prison privately, they will be punished as having liaison with the barbarians.
The lightest charge of having liaison with a barbarian is to have the whole family executed!
However, before the Mu family's crimes were investigated clearly, the emperor ordered the family to be confiscated in advance.
The reason is that "businessmen use money to violate the law, and chivalrous people use force to violate the law."
As a result, the Mu family, the most wealthy family in the Yan Kingdom, became the first to die unjustly under the butcher knife of imperial power.
According to Zhou Yuanliang, today is the day when the Mufu will raid their homes.
