Chapter 940
Duke Qi secretly gritted his teeth, controlling his urge to knock Wei Jing over with one punch.

He gave a hasty salute, raised his foot and missed the man who was about to go up.

Wei Jing called him to stop him: "Duke Qi, those who know the current affairs are heroes, you should know that there is no possibility of solving this situation at the moment, if you find your way back now and seek refuge with this king, I promise that I will never embarrass you and you." your family!"

Duke Qi sneered: "I help Prince Huan not because he is my nephew, but because he really loves the people. His Highness Prince Rui, for his own self-interest and for his own power, he was able to kill more than 50 innocent people. How can a person like you be the lord of a country in the future!"

"If you really sit in that position, it will be a disaster for Yue!"

After Qi Guogong said this sentence emphatically, he walked up the steps with a flick of his sleeves.

He didn't believe that Wei Jing would let his words go.

Once a person like him gains power, he will definitely eliminate dissidents without hesitation. At that time, Duke Qi's mansion will definitely be the first target to be attacked.

Now that things have reached this point, there is no need to maintain superficial harmony!
Wei Jing licked her lips, her eyes gloomy.

Toast, do not eat and drink fine!
The day when he completely defeats Wei Shu will be the day when Duke Qi's mansion dies!

When Qi Guogong entered, Yue Huang's face was very ugly, he stared at Qi Guogong coldly, and said in a very serious tone: "Why, Qi Guogong has good ears and eyes, did you come to intercede with your nephew so soon?"

The Duke of Qi knelt down, dared not say a word, and then said: "Your Majesty, His Highness King Huan contracted smallpox, did you already know about it?"

Yue Huang shook his hand: "What did you say?"

"Someone stabbed His Highness Huan in the mansion, and His Highness Huan was seriously injured. It is probably because of this that the symptoms of smallpox broke out so quickly!"

Then, taking advantage of Emperor Yue's astonishment, Duke Qi explained all of Wei Shu's countermeasures.

Including the closure of Prince Huan's Mansion.

This is nothing more than telling Yue Huang that King Huan is a responsible person.

The first time he learned that he had contracted the disease, he quarantined the entire palace so as not to infect others.

How could such a person attack innocent civilians for a little merit?

In fact, Yue Huang was also very suspicious.

But as an emperor, sometimes you can't just rely on feelings, you have to rely on evidence.

If all the evidence is against Wei Shu and he insists on forcibly protecting him, then he will lose the prestige and fairness of the emperor.

And with such a stain, it will be even more difficult for Wei Shu to ascend to the position of prince, and he will not be able to convince the public!
Duke Qi raised the envelope in his hand: "Your Majesty, this is written to you by His Royal Highness Prince Huan. Although it has been fumigated with mugwort leaves, His Highness said, for safety reasons, you should not read it yourself!"

Yue Huang thought for a while, then signaled Qi Guogong to open the envelope and put it on the desk, while he covered the handkerchief and looked at it line by line.

From the weaker and weaker writing power, Yue Huang could also judge that when Wei Shu wrote this letter, he must have been extremely unwell.

But he still endured the discomfort and explained the funeral.

Even though his heart has been hardened by power, Emperor Yue's eyes were wet when he saw this letter.

After reading it, he signaled Han Zhao to burn the letter to prevent it from carrying the virus.

Afterwards, he waved his hand: "Duke Qi, step back first, I will think about it carefully, and I will send someone to investigate this matter again!"

After Qi Guogong retired, the Yue Emperor immediately announced three imperial doctors from the imperial hospital.

The most experienced doctor Xu went to Prince Huan's Mansion, and the remaining two men went to Huaiyuanhou Mansion and Zhu Qianhu's house to guard at fixed points.

Moreover, the imperial guards immediately took action to monitor the three mansions secretly, in order to prevent someone from slipping out uncontrollably and causing even greater disasters.

Smallpox is a vicious disease, once it spreads, the consequences will be disastrous.

It is more risky to move these people now, it is better to confine them in the mansion. In this way, it is tantamount to controlling the source of the virus, and the effect will be better.

Whether it's right or wrong, we have to wait until Wei Shu has survived this calamity!

If a person dies...

Yue Huang clenched his fists.

If he died, how would he go to the Nine Springs to explain to Yue'er!
But Emperor Yue thought so, but the courtiers didn't think so.

In the early morning of the second day, there was a memorial from the censor, asking His Royal Highness King Huan to confront the court and explain what happened to the fifty peasant lives.

Yue Huang thought that he was stabbed by an assassin and had a knife wound on his body and temporarily avoided it.

However, at night, Jingzhao Yinwai suddenly gathered a large number of women and children in coarse linen clothes.

They all looked sad, dragged their families, and looked as if they had been attacked by wind and frost.

The leader beat the grievance drum. These women and children who lost their families traveled hundreds of miles just to come to Yecheng to seek justice.

For them, when the men in the family died, the sky would collapse.

Since they couldn't survive anyway, they came to Ye City under the instigation of caring people to make a big deal out of it, so they might be able to avenge their grievances.

If there are some men who make trouble for no reason, Jing Zhaoyin and Xiao Fei will definitely be caught and thrown into the cell without hesitation.

But these are old women and children.

Some old people have all white hair, all teeth have fallen out, and they walk unsteadily, as if they will die if they touch them.

And those children were still held in their arms, but their arms were long, and they cried when they were louder.

If he arrests all these people, it will spread that he, Jing Zhaoyin, is a cruel official.

If we don't arrest them, can we still go to Prince Huan's mansion to ask His Highness Prince Huan to confront them?
Speaking of which, there was such a big commotion, and no one from Huanwang's Mansion, Huaiyuanhou's Mansion and Zhu Qianhu's family came forward.

This matter is really weird!
Not only Xiao Fei felt weird, but Wei Jing also felt weird.

Yue Huanghui temporarily softened his heart towards Wei Shu, which was within his plan.

It stands to reason that it usually takes seven days to half a month for smallpox to show symptoms. Before that, it will not be discovered.

So he is going to use this method to force Wei Shu to show his face, and then use it to infect others, and then it will be revealed that he has smallpox. In this way, he will be completely dead.

But now these three mansions are closed, and the emperor's attitude is conniving, and that day Wei Jing met Qi Guogong outside the door of the imperial study.

After thinking about it, he suddenly understood.

Wei Shu might have found out that he was infected with the smallpox virus!
As for the fact that the assassin was injured, it might be an excuse. What he really wanted to cover up was the fact that he was already suffering from the smallpox virus!
This is a godsend for me too!

It seems that God is going to take his life away, even the elderly and children will not be found for seven days, he has symptoms so quickly!

Wei Jing narrowed her eyes deeply, and called someone over, ordering the next step of the plot!
