Destiny Phoenix

Chapter 419 If you go any further, you will die

Coming out of the Caoting county government office, Feng Qingyao was a little puzzled, "Since they poisoned the well water, why did they go so far as to put the rats in the village?" Wouldn't it be easier to be detected in this way? clue?

If they had only poisoned the well, perhaps they would not have found out the truth so quickly.

"The king guessed that they might have released the rats first, and then found that the rats did not achieve the effect they wanted, so they turned to poisoning the well water. But the rats released earlier could not be recovered. " Mo Zhanhua replied.

He thought of many possibilities, and the most reasonable one was this.

"Of course, it doesn't rule out that they use rats to divert attention, making us mistakenly think that rats are the cause of the disaster, and then ignore the poison in the well water. In this way, even if people exterminate the rats, the mystery of the plague cannot be solved, and they can still Keep making a big fuss about it.”

"If this black hand is allowed to become the emperor, the common people will have a hard time." Feng Qingyao said.

A person who does not understand benevolence cannot govern a country well anyway.

Looking at the emperor's sons, Ma Qi is dead, and Ma Ning is in prison. Even if he does not die, it is absolutely impossible for him to become attached to the throne again.The sixth prince is young, and Ma Jian is the only one who can be chosen as the heir apparent by the current emperor.

Sigh slightly.

Forget it, who the emperor wants to appoint as the crown prince is not something she should worry about, she turned her head and asked again: "Are you really planning to hand over the management of the poisonous well to that dog official Meng Fangyi?"

Intuitively, Meng Fangyi is not a reliable person.

"Is Yao'er worried that he won't take care of the disaster?" Mo Zhanhua Qingming's cold and serious face has changed into a doting look, and he reached out to rub her long hair, "Although he is greedy for money, he is also greedy." He is not a treacherous and evil person, but now that he knows the harm of the diseased rats, he will naturally try his best to rectify it. As for the silver taels, this king has his own way to let him obediently take them out and return them to the people."

After seeing Zhan Wangjun who came back after disposing of the corpse, she realized that Mo Zhanhua wanted them to stay and supervise Meng Fangyi.

Let everyone stay, and only the two of them are left to go to the border. He is really confident, so he is not worried about encountering another interception like Hupingshan?Feng Qingyao thought.

Everything was arranged properly, but Mo Zhanhua brought a tall horse from nowhere.He told her with a smile that Caoting County was poor, so he found such a horse, and asked her to make do for the journey no matter what.

Feng Qingyao saw that the horse was tall and strong, so she knew it was not an ordinary horse, but she knew that it was on purpose, but there was nothing she could do about it.

She can't find a horse in a poor country!
When they set off, the two rode on the back of a horse.Feng Qingyao was somewhat awkward, but Mo Zhanhua was just the opposite of her, and he felt extraordinarily happy in his heart.I can't help but feel grateful to Ma Jian.If he hadn't exhausted all his tricks and pushed the two of them together on the road to the Jingnan border, the two of them would never have had the chance to be as close as they are now.

Holding the rein with one hand, the other clasped her soft and slender waist like willows in March.

Not being rejected, Mo Zhanhua felt more and more that although this trip to the northern border was dangerous, but with her company every day, even if he died on this road, he would die without regret.

Hurry up and rush to the border.

After traveling all night, at dawn, they saw scattered victims walking in the opposite direction beside the official road.

Some of them walked together in three or five people. There were women leading their children, and there were also ignorant young children who looked at a loss and just followed the crowd with their heads down.Tattered clothes, heavy burdens, everyone's face has the sadness and helplessness of being away from home.

"Uncle, which direction did you come from?" Feng Qingyao asked an old man passing by, grabbing the reins of the horse.

The old man looked up at them, and kindly persuaded: "Young man, don't go out anymore, if you go out, you will die."
