Yuxi replied to Yan Wushuang in the form of an official letter, saying that he would exchange two million stone grains for the black widow.
Yan Wushuang said to Meng Nian, "Han Yuxi has promised to take two million shi to redeem people. Before sending the person back, she must pry her mouth open." If the black widow dies, two million shi is not enough. Up.
Meng Nian was a little surprised: "Han Yuxi actually agreed?" He thought that Han Yuxi would refuse, even if he didn't refuse, he should at least bargain, but he didn't expect it to be so straightforward.
A bright light flashed in Yan Wushuang's eyes: "It can be seen that this black widow knows more than we thought."
Meng Nian said, "Do you think she knows the true identity of Cheetah?"
Yan Wushuang was also not sure about this: "You must pry open this woman's mouth."
Meng Nian said, "But this woman doesn't eat hard or soft." All the torture has been used, and it is useless.
Yan Wushuang said, "Since ordinary methods are useless, use extraordinary methods." Prying the black widow's mouth open, they got what they wanted. It would be a bargain to trade this woman for two million stone grains.
Meng Nian nodded.
On that evening, the food delivered to the black widow was very rich, including four-hi meatballs, braised lamb chops, fish maw simmered ham, ginseng chicken soup, and a large bowl of japonica rice.
The black widow looked at these meals and asked calmly, "This is a decapitated meal?" There was an unwritten rule in the prison that would allow the prisoner to have a full meal before he died. However, knowing that her identity is special, the black widow felt that Yan Wushuang would not let her die so easily.
The woman in charge of guarding the black widow said, "No." This woman has been staying next to the black widow. This is to prevent the black widow from seeking opportunities to commit suicide.
When the black widow heard this, she didn't say another word, but took a spoon and scooped a bowl of soup into a bowl. Because of her injuries, she moved very slowly, and the woman next to her didn't mean to help.
After taking a sip of the soup, the black widow threw the bowl on the ground, and said coldly, "What's in the soup?" The soup was so delicious that people would swallow their tongues. I haven't seen Black Widow before, how can I not know that this soup has been released.
The mother-in-law said: "This is ginseng chicken soup. Don't mess with it if you don't eat it." She wants to eat it but can't eat it!
As soon as the black widow heard this, she knew that the woman had no idea. She didn't have any nonsense to sit on the bed again, and slowly moved back to the bed to continue meditating.
The mother-in-law thought her attitude was a little strange, and said: "If you don't eat, I will take it away." I have to say that this mother-in-law talks a lot.
The black widow closed her eyes and said nothing.
This situation continued until noon the next day. Meng Nian told Yan Wushuang this matter: "My lord, this woman is very vigilant. She hasn't eaten anything since last night." She didn't even drink water.
Yan Wushuang narrowed his eyes and said, "It seems that she has noticed something wrong." I don't know where Huo Changqing found such a strange flower. There are a lot of people who are not afraid of death, but it is rare to see such a determined willpower.
Meng Nian said: "The emperor, the black widow can do nothing." If she dies, two million stones of grain will be gone.
Yan Wushuang said: "Since she has noticed it, she doesn't need to be polite, just give her a shot." Originally, she wanted to go step by step, but now she doesn't have so much time.
Meng Nian nodded.
The black widow was already injured, and she was unable to resist after her hands were clamped. The medicine was stuffed into the throat and was filled with water again. After a long time, these people felt that they had entered their stomachs before letting go of the black widow.
Looking at Meng Nian sitting on the chair, the black widow said calmly: "The fairy medicine should be sucked, not poured. You do this, you are ruining things." The so-called fairy medicine is actually a modern porn. Because smoking this thing can make people feel ecstasy, so folks call this thing a fairy medicine.
Meng Nian had a good temper with Yan Wushuang, but he was still surprised when he heard this: "Have you eaten it before?" If you haven't eaten it before, how could you know so quickly that what she was swallowing was a fairy medicine. .
When the black widow heard this, she knew she was right. The black widow disdainfully said: "This is all left over from my old mother's play." She has never ingested this stuff, otherwise she would not have gone to this day. However, because the adults are mixed in the brothel, they also know something about it. A small amount of this thing can cure diseases and save people, but if you use too much, you will become addicted.
Meng Nian knew that he was being tricked, and he was not angry, and said, "Then you can now experience this exquisite taste." The price of this thing is higher than gold, and ordinary people can't touch it, let alone eat a lot of it. . I have to say that Han Yuxi's men are really Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger.
The black widow looked at Meng Nian's leaving back, her eyes glowing with green. After a while, she said in a voice that only she could hear: "Falcon, I'm not sure to make it through. I hope you move faster." She has never smoked this thing, but she has seen an oiran because of it. Addicted to the fairy medicine, that terrible and miserable appearance when there is no fairy medicine to ingest. Now that I think of it, the black widow still has lingering fears.
From this day on, the black widow started hunger strike without eating or drinking. The mother-in-law saw something was wrong, and asked someone to feed her forcibly, and when she saw her vomiting, she tied her up. Originally the whole body was injured, and after such a toss, he developed a high fever on the same day.
Meng Nian said to Yan Wushuang: "The emperor, this woman is too cruel." Being cruel to others is nothing, but cruel to yourself is terrible.
Even Yan Wushuang is a bit tricky when encountering such a person who doesn't eat hard and doesn't fear death. The key is that they still have to exchange black widows for food, otherwise it doesn't matter how to toss them.
Meng Nian hesitated for a long time and still said: "The emperor, this batch of food is very important to us." The value of the black widow is great, but now they are short of food. Therefore, the black widow can't have an accident.
It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and Yan Wushuang, as an emperor, must now give in to the overall situation.
Meng Nian said: "It is practical for the black widow to substitute, and we are not at a disadvantage." They have an important chess piece in their hands.
The black widow woke up in a coma all day and night. As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Meng Nian by the bed. The black widow is bitter, why can't she die! When you die, you are free.
Meng Nian said, "Han Yuxi is going to redeem you with two million stone grains." He deliberately told the black widow about this, because she didn't want her to seek death again.
The black widow didn't believe this at all, and snorted coldly: "If you want to lie to me, also find a good excuse."
Meng Nian handed the official letter sent by Yuxi to the black widow. It's a pity that the black widow just glanced at it and said, "I can get you as many things as you want." The black widow means that this thing is fake.
Hearing this, Meng Nian didn't get angry, and said, "Three days later, we will send you to Yingzhou. At that time, we will pay you food and people."
The look of the black widow changed a little now. Yingzhou is the junction of Shandong and Jiangsu. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the land of fish and rice, and only from there can we raise 2 million shi of grain in a short period of time. In other words, the princess is really ready to redeem her with two million stone grains.
Meng Nian said, "I will be on the road in three days. I hope you can cooperate and stop tossing."
The black widow said, "Bring the food." She is not afraid of death, but she will not give up when she has a chance to live.
But seeing the food delivered, the black widow didn't eat it: "I want to eat boiled eggs and white rice porridge." These two things are the simplest, but they are also the best to make hands and feet.
Meng Nian said, "Yes. What do you want to eat, you can tell Lady Dou." This Lady Dou is the one looking at the Black Widow.
How can the Black Widow not know Meng Nian's worry: "Don't worry, I don't die that easily." She hopes to die on the road, so that it can save those two million stones of food. But the black widow knew in her heart that Yan Wushuang would not let her die. At least until the food is exchanged back, it is impossible for her to die.
Han Jianming was accompanying Qiu to dinner when he heard Han Hao enter the house and say, "Master, there is an urgent official letter from Haocheng."
Seeing Han Jianming put down the bowls and chopsticks, the Qiu family said unhappily: "It won't be too late to worry about it. It's not too late to deal with things after dinner."
Han Jianming smiled and said, "Mother, business matters." Since the word emergency is used, it can be seen that it is no small matter.
The Qiu family also knew that he could not stop Han Jianming, so he had to say, "Eat the bowl of rice before going!"
In the past, the Qiu clan wanted to see his son every day, but now when he is in Jiangnan, the Qiu clan hopes that Han Jianming can accompany her more. But Han Jianming was very busy and couldn't see anyone if he had time to go out for three or five days. In this regard, Qiu's is very dissatisfied.
After Han Jianming went out, the Qiu family complained: "There is something that can't be left to the people below. You have to do it yourself." As he grew older, he became more dependent on his son.
Mother Li said: "Old lady, the eldest master is the elder brother of the princess. He wants to do his job well, so as not to give people a chance to talk."
Thinking of Yuxi, Qiu's headache said: "One by one, I don't have to worry about it." Speaking of which, Yuxi is busier than Jianming. At least Jianming is only in charge of Liangjiang affairs, but Yuxi is in charge of most of the country.
After reading Yuxi’s letter, Han Jianming said with a headache to Mr. Zhao: "The princess wants me to raise two million shi of grain for Yan Wushuang?" It is Xia Shou now, and it is not difficult for him to raise two million shi of grain. . Can be handed over to Yan Wushuang, but failed.
Mr. Zhao knew that Yuxi was a master who plucked feathers, and it was impossible to give Yan Wushuang so much food for no reason. Mr. Zhao asked: "What's the matter?"
Han Jianming touched his forehead and said, "Yan Wushuang caught one of our people and used this person as a bargaining chip."
Mr. Zhao was a little bit horrified: "Who can make the princess promise two million stone grains to redeem?"
Han Jianming shook his head and said: "The princess didn't elaborate, only that she was a woman. But there must be a reason for the princess to pay such a high price to redeem someone." As for Yuxi's temperament, he must be worthy of this. Price.
Mr. Zhao said, “It’s impossible to hide so much grain from being sent out. I’m worried that someone will make trouble by then. Now there is a war in the front, and there can be no trouble in the back.” Sending out two million shi of grain will surely attract officials to follow. Some generals in the army were dissatisfied.
Han Jianming nodded and said, "This is exactly what I am worried about." The main reason was the Yuxi layer's order not to allow a grain of grain from Jiangnan to flow to the capital. So Jiangnan was very strict on this area, and executed those who dared to sell food to the capital. Now Yuxi is sending out food by herself, but she shouldn't cause an uproar.
Mr. Zhao thought for a while and said, "The prince should know about this, right?" If the prince knows, this is relatively easy to handle.
When Han Jianming heard this, he said, "Yuk-hee will not hide such a big thing from the prince." The problem is that this matter is too big, even if you want to hide it, you can't hide it.
It was also on this evening that Yun Qing received Yuxi's letter. After reading the letter, Yun Qing thought for a long time, and then summoned two staff, Mr. Chen, to Mr. Wei and told them about the matter.
Chen Mian said, "Master, I don't know the identity of this person who was arrested?"
Yun Qing did not reveal the identity of the black widow, but said: "This person is very important and must be redeemed. I am just worried that the princess will be criticized for this matter." It was Yun Qing who came to find the two of them. the goal of.
On that day, Yu Cong was accused of collaborating with the enemy because of his negligence. Now Yuxi is ransoming people with two million stone grains. If he can't give everyone a sufficient reason, he will definitely have troubles.
Chen Mian did not question the identity of the person to be redeemed, and said, "Master, if you don't want to leave behind troubles, unless everyone knows the identity of this person."
Yun Qing shook his head and said, "Her identity cannot be made public." The identity of the black widow cannot be seen.
Chen Mian thought for a while and said, "My lord, at this time, it is impossible to take out so much food to redeem people. It is impossible not to provoke criticism." Fighting is the most expensive food. In this case, two million stones of food will be sent out. It is impossible to redeem people without thinking about civil and military affairs.
Yun Qing frowned.
Mr. Wei hesitated and said: "Prince, if you don't want the princess to be criticized for this matter, unless you let everyone know that this person has nothing to do with the princess but you have to redeem it."
Yun Qing didn't understand, and asked with a puzzled look: "What do you mean by this?"
Mr. Wei asked: "Master, is this person a male or female, and how old is this person?"
Yun Qing said truthfully: "Girl, there are two in thirty this year."
Mr. Wei said: “It can be said that this person is the prince’s sister or the grandfather’s daughter. In this way, everyone will not criticize the princess again.” Only in this way, the object of criticism was changed to Yun Qing or Huo Changqing.
Chen Mian hurriedly added: "Everyone knows the history of the prince. It is difficult to believe that this woman is the prince's sister." Yun Qing's mother only gave birth to three sons and no daughter. Not a real sister, it's hard to be convinced to take out two million stone grains to redeem people during this special period. But Huo Changqing, everyone is not clear about his past. It is not impossible that a daughter suddenly appeared.
Mr. Wei said: "If this is the case, it is safest to say that this woman is the daughter of the grandfather."
Yun Qing hesitated, he didn't want Yuxi to be criticized, but he didn't want to involve Huo Changqing.
Chen Mian has been with Yun Qing for so many years and knows him well: "Master, you can ask the old lady's opinion on this matter. If he doesn't agree, we will find another way."
Yun Qing did not immediately agree: "Let me think about it."
