Chapter 570 Death Diary
The silence of crying touched the thoughts of many Jinyiwei. They remembered the days when the Grand Commander was there, and the brothers were happy to revenge. They thought that such a good day would definitely be gone forever. Now they are like a group of motherless children, and somehow they are unlucky. They are sad for a moment. They all burst into tears, and their crying sounds reach the sky,
That night, Chen Si stayed at the Lu family to keep the spirits for Lu Bing. Except for Lu Bing's family, everyone in the Thirteenth Taibaozhong was also mourning in the mourning hall.
The spirit shed was so ventilated that it was breathless. In the middle of the night, the north wind whimpered, and the inside was as cold as the outside. Although I was wearing a cotton jacket, my teeth were still trembling.
At this time, someone put a quilt on his back, looked back silently and saw that it was Mr. Zhu Jiu. He grinned with gratitude. He wrapped the quilt tightly and asked softly: "Master Jiu, how did my senior brother go? He was fine last month."
Zhu Jiu's expression changed when he heard this, and he shook his head and whispered: "Mr. Shen, this matter is unspeakable. Let's wait for the investigation results of the East Factory.
Chen Silent asked softly: "Has the sky changed?"
Zhu Jiu smiled bitterly and lowered his voice, "That's not enough, but it's better to be careful." He said vaguely. But silence could understand what he meant. The status of the emperor's spy troops like the Jinyiwei depends on the holy family. Now that their strongest commander has died in history, no one can replace him, so the Jinyiwei is almost certain to decline. And without Lu Bing's strong suppression, he will feel relieved. He will open his teeth and claws again, and the other will grow and fall. He may have to return to the tragic situation where the Jinyiwei was pinned by the Dongfa factory.
When people were in panic in this kind of internal situation, it was really embarrassing to ask Master Zhu Jiu to say something in front of everyone.
Xiaoxiao, silently understood, stopped asking questions. It was easy to wait until dawn and could go home to sleep. He rubbed his sore limbs and got up from the ground. He was about to walk out, but he heard a mess at the door, and then he saw a group of people breaking in and reaching the mourning hall!
He led the crowd to trespass into the Grand Governor's Office with weapons. If Lu Bing was still there, no one would dare, but now that he is dead, someone will dare.
I saw that the people who came were wearing round hats, soap boots, and brown shirts. The rest of them all wore pointed hats, white leather boots, brown clothes, and small ribbons. This outfit has disappeared in the capital for a long time, so they remained silent, but for the Jinyiwei, it was extremely dazzling, because this was the uniform of the Dongchang Fanzi.
Just like the flying fish suit and embroidered spring sword are the symbols of the Jinyiwei, these pointed hats and white leather boots are also the symbols of the Dongchang style. The Dongchang has never disappeared. Even when Lu Bing was alive, they were still active in the capital, but you would never see such outfits, because in order to please Lu Taibao, they all wore flying fish suits and embroidered spring swords.
But now when Lu Bing dies, they "take my embroidered spring sword and wear my old clothes" and switch back to the original pointed hat and white leather boots! The meaning contained in this is really difficult for the Jinyiwei people to receive!
.
But the more difficult days are still to come, so he heard the leader blocking his head and whispering: "Listen to the people of the Jinyiwei. The factory is here, but he will not kneel down to greet him!" As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the men separated from each other and a eunuch in a big red python cloak appeared. It was the eunuch in the Sili Supervisor Xi Bingbi and the eunuch in the East Factory.
I saw Chen Hong's white horse face full of arrogant expressions. He looked at the Thirteenth Princess wearing mourning clothes with fat at the corners of his eyes, and then looked up at the sky.
"Do you have it? Kneel down!" The blocking his head shouted loudly when he saw this, and said with a bang, and suddenly shook the whip in his hand.
Zhu Jiu and others looked at the Thirteenth Grandpa Guard, Zhu Da, deputy commander of the Jinyiwei, bowed to Chen Hong with an embarrassing expression: "It turns out to be Eunuch Chen, are you always here to pay tribute to our Grand Governor?"
Chen Hong seemed to have not heard it, but still looked up at the sky.
Zhu Da glanced at Lu Bing's eldest son Lu Gang, meaning that you have to say something, you can't lose face to the Grand Governor anyway.
Lu Gang was not afraid of Dongchang, so he stood up and said, "If Eunuch Chen comes to worship his father, he will ask for incense in front of the spirit. If there is anything else, please come again another day."
Chen Hong's eyes then changed to a straight look and bowed casually, "It turns out that it's the eldest son, of course our family is here to celebrate filial piety." "One", one, one, one, one, one, one
"Lock" and there was a crisp sound of the ground. Chen Hong walked to Lu Bing's spirit and looked at the black-lined sandalwood tablet. He felt a chill from the bottom of his heart, as if Lu Bing was sitting in the coffin and smiling at him.
Chen Hong quickly shook his head and cheered himself up, "What's the matter with a dead tiger? Even so, he picked up a bunch of incense, lit it in the candlelight, and inserted it respectfully in front of the spirit. However, he did not dare to look at the tablet, so he turned around and said to Lu Gang and Lu Lun: "Lu Taibao died young, the emperor was heartbroken, and our family was also very sad. Please ask the two young masters to mourn."
"The lock, there was another sound of rock in the ground, and the filial son kowtowed to the guest. It was logical that Chen Hong should leave, but he still stood there, glanced at the Thirteenth Taibao with a complicated expression and said, "The emperor has ordered the East Factory to find out the reason for the sudden death of Lu Taibao. In order to facilitate investigation, please do not leave the capital and come with the news." Dundun said again! Yu Gang... You don't have to be a job, concentrate your efforts first and find out the matter clearly before talking about it."
Zhu Da frowned and said, "Master, we all have important positions. There is a big deal. If we are all resting at home, if something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain."
Chen Hong looked at him and said lightly: "You don't have to worry about this. The family will send someone to take care of you. Don't swallow your rights. When it is found out, there will be no suspicion. Of course, it will be handed over to you again." Can the meat sent to the wolf's mouth be taken back? Go dreaming!
But the 13th Taibao, who was domineering in the past, was silently silently, listened to Chen Hong's orders, watched him leave silently, and did not dare to say a word from beginning to end.
Until Chen Hong and the people from the East Factory went there. The Thirteenth Taibao was still standing there like a clay sculpture. Until someone suddenly turned around and knelt in front of Lu Bingling and cried: "Grandmaster, please let me see. See what the children are bullied?!" This sentence aroused everyone's grief and anger, and they all knelt there and burst into tears.
This scene was really sad when the listener was heard, and the seer was crying, which made Shen Mo, who had been watching by the side, feel extremely heavy. He looked at this once-magnificent house and it seemed that it was inevitable that it would decline.
"The rolling Yangtze River flows eastward, and the waves wash away all the heroes. The right and wrong, success and failure turn to nothing, the green mountains are still there, and the sunset is red several times." Shen Mo suddenly felt Yang Sheng'an's masterpiece song, and finally realized that if he had experienced the ups and downs of life and death, he would not have had such a great enlightenment.
When he left Lu Mansion, he saw Zhu Jiu standing at the door and said, "I'll give you a trip to the adults."
He nodded silently and got on Zhu Jiu's carriage. The carriage galloped on the wide streets of Beijing, making all eyeliners useless.
Seeing that the thousand households of the Jinyiwei Shuntian Mansion were so cautious on their territory, they said in silence and sadly: "I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, the sky turned upside down."
"The sky is turned upside down?" Zhu Jiupin stubbed the word and sighed after a long time: "Yes, for us, it was really turned upside down to fall from the clouds into the mud."
Silent sighed inwardly, thinking that I would not be much better than that, so my mother came to the topic and asked, "My senior brother is so good, how could he die suddenly? When I saw him last month, I was still fine."
"Sir, please read it yourself." Zhu Jiu took out a notebook from his arms and said, "This is a copy of our Grand Governor's diary. It is exactly the same as the one he wrote in his own handwriting, and records his physical changes over the past month."
Chen Si took it and opened it from the first page. It was written on it: "October 7th, the emperor gave the spiritual medicine, Dragon and Tiger Pill, and ordered the empress to take it first. I was very grateful to the great kindness of heaven, so I immediately chose a good time to drink it to test its nature and taste." Seeing this, Chen Si suddenly felt extremely absurd. I didn't expect that Jiajing would let his close ministers try it before he was dozing off. He was quite afraid of death, but he didn't care about other people's lives.
Then he turned on the second page and the emperor was anxious to know the effect of Lu Bing's trial. The next day after giving the medicine, he asked him secretly and asked him how he felt after taking the medicine. Lu Bing could not delay now, so he had to start taking it from that day, and at the same time reported his reaction after taking the medicine day by day. "I couldn't help feeling a little sad. The top-notch official with three public funds and three orphans was forced to test the medicine for the emperor. No matter how big the official is, what's the point?
When I turned to the diary on October 20, I saw it: "I am asked by the Emperor: "I have been submitting to the Dan Jing for two days, but how about I feel? I replied: "I took the medicine according to law for two days, and there was a slight bloating in my abdomen. I visited the place where the Wugrass Mother several times at night, but what about other things I haven't realized. I heard that all medicines do not need to be effective, and they will be beneficial for a long time, and their achievements will be greater. I will continue to take them to observe the effect."
On the 22nd, I said: "I have taken ten pills in a row. After taking them, I feel that something is warm and full in my lungs and abdomen is the same as before. But it seems that I am scammers, which seems to be full. I see that this pill is made of cinnabar. There are silver stars that look like mercury, and the taste is less sweet, and it seems to be brewed with jujubes. I think it is a elixir that combines lead and mercury to form a pill. I haven't taken it now, so I don't know what to do in the future?
On the 28th, I said: "I have been here for a few days. I feel that the navel reaches the top, and the heat will not dissipate, and the body is extremely dry and itchy. I cannot bear it. Every night, it will stop it."
One day later, Lu Bing wrote: "Do not overdose the medicine, and it will stop when it is effective. If it is too much, even if it is suitable, it will cause harm. The same is true for these medicines. As for lead and mercury, it is metal and stone, and it is already very hot. I have reported it. It is not advisable to take it lightly, and I am afraid of this. For several days, I have felt that the navel has reached the top and the heat does not dissipate, so I know the heavy power of the medicine. You should be careful and cautious." At this time, Lu Bing also stepped down.
However, on the second day of November, Lu Bing happily recorded: "Today's irritability was slightly reduced, the itching stopped, it seemed that it had passed. I took the full box and Your Majesty could take it with confidence." After a few days, I was safe and sound until the fifth day of November. Suddenly, there was a record: "After taking the medicine today, my breathing became rapid, my body was weak, my headache was slit; my tongue tip was numb, my mouth began to bleed."
The collection of records came to an abrupt end, but the silence was completely imagined. Lu Bing died suddenly in pain, because the date of his death was the fifth day of the lunar month. Book."
"Why?" Chen Shu asked softly. "He said the cause of death of the Grand Chief of the Governor" Zhu Jiudao! "That's why His Majesty made the East Factory roar. Lian Yao was afraid that the truth would be revealed to the world and would become a joke for the ages."
After hearing this, he nodded slightly. The emperor asked his closest minister to try the medicine, but he died of the minister's medicine. No matter how original it was, it was an absolute scandal and would be talked about by others. This was the Emperor Jiajing who wanted to save face. It could not be accepted by any means.
"I hope that the Lord can save it and give the Jinyiwei a cleansing moment!" Zhu Jiu said with a sigh: "Otherwise, people would think that we are incompetent, and they can't even protect our own chief governor, so that he can easily be killed." It seems that he had expected that the final result would definitely clear the relationship between the palace. In that case, no matter who the Jinyiwei blamed him, the Jinyiwei would not be able to escape responsibility.
Because there are only things given by the imperial gift, the Jinyiwei cannot check and there is no responsibility. If the rest is given to Lu Bing through any means, you must bear the responsibility if there is any problem."
Silently nodded, his face became more and more serious. Zhu Jiu thought he was shocked by the truth of the matter, but he didn't know that what he was worried about was another thing, another person, but he could not ask easily, otherwise it would cause trouble.
After getting off Zhu Jiu's carriage, he returned home, and said to Sanchi silently: "You go to Liulichang and buy me a good set of sacrificial tools. I want to worship the tablets of my senior brother at home." He said, "The key point is, please take a look at the bull's nose on the road, and you will be safe now."
Sanchi answered and wanted to go out. He was silent and asked, "Don't get off the car, don't cut it, just look away from the carriage."
Sanchi couldn't help but say terrified: "Sir, has the situation corrupted Ruosi?"
"Not so serious, silent and forced a smile: "Be careful of sailing a ten thousand-year-old ship."
Sanchi went there, sat back to the study in silence and ordered someone to "invited Mr. Li to come." Li Shizhen was dragged in the capital and was not allowed to leave because she wanted to treat King Yu. So she returned to her hometown in silence, and still allowed him to live in the mansion, leaving a special guard to protect the door.
Li Shizhen has been busy with his compendium of materia meditation and has no idea about the earth-shaking changes outside. When he saw the silence, he said strangely: "Why are you back?"
"Lu Bing is dead." Chen Si leaned on the chair, and had no strength to say a word. He handed the diary to Li Shizhen and said, "Please see what's going on?"
Li Shizhen was stunned for a moment, then calmed down and began to read the diary. After reading it for most of the time, he shook his head and said, "From the performance, what he took should be a nourishing pill, which should not kill people." After seeing it, he became more confident in his judgment and said, "His body has adapted to that kind of tonic. Even if he takes it for a long time, there will be no big problems." But when he turned to the last page, he was stunned and said, "He Dinghong! This is clearly the manifestation of He Dinghong being poisoned!"
Chen Si frowned and asked, "Did you take it for a long time and accumulate it to a certain level, or did you take it suddenly on the fifth day of the lunar month?"
"Take it suddenly." Li Shizhen said with certainty: "If it is assumed that all the pills have even Horde Red, he will take a small amount of poison every day, then there should be obvious symptoms after three to five days. Such as difficulty breathing, pulse, severe dermatitis, and loss, which are the manifestations of chronic poisoning." As he said a little, the diary said: "But none of these symptoms appeared, but severe sudden poisoning appeared on the fifth day of the lunar month. It should not be caused by long-term use, but by taking a large amount of poison at one time."
"Should it?" You Mo asked, "Or must?"
"It must be." Li Shizhen turned the railway firmly: "It must be like this."
"Will that be. The pill itself is fine. It has been poisoned in other aspects?" Chen Si asked softly, but he rejected it: "Except for this that can make Lu Bing take it without any precautions, how can the other poisonous things flow into the mouth of the Grand Governor of the Jinyiwei?" As he said that, he couldn't help but shake his head and said repeatedly: "It's really strange."
"Just check the remaining elixirs and see if there is any?" Li Shizhen said.
"How could you see it?" Chen Si shook his head and smiled bitterly: "After the matter, the East Factory immediately took back all the pills, and no pills were allowed to flow out."
"Then I can only wait for their results." Li Shizhen stood up and said, "I don't need me anymore, then I'll go back."
Nodded silently, looking at Li Shizhen's departure back, he felt extremely envious. He felt that Li Shizhen was much happier than him. At least he didn't have to worry all day long, and do one thing with great concentration.
.
Later, Sanchi came back and reported softly: "Qingyang Temple has been seized, and no one of the Taoists living in Quanzhen Sect lives inside has been left, and they have all been put into the prison of the East Factory!"
Ji Mo was even more worried when he heard this and cried inwardly: "The Lan Dao is in danger."
