Chu Xiuyan has a problem!
Seeing Chu Xiuyan's abnormality, Fubao was not stupid, so he could naturally see the situation.
Originally, they came to Maoyuan County quietly.
But they had just entered the inn for a while when Chu Xiuyan rushed over with someone. This was the first time she received the news. So, how could she, the magistrate of Maoyuan County, have such a well-informed news channel
Furthermore, since he said there was a letter, why couldn't the letter be delivered to Cai's mother through her hands
Under the public gaze, it was impossible for Cai's mother to do anything to the letter, so there was only one explanation: there was something wrong with the letter.
In the past, Mother Cai did not come out to do this, but this time, Mother Cai stepped forward, which meant that Mother Cai discovered something was wrong with the letter.
"Mom Cai!"
Fu Bao looked at Cai's mother, wanting to hear what Cai's mother had to say.
Mother Cai bent her knees slightly and said, "Miss, there is a silk-tangled poison on this letter."
"The Silk-Tangled Gu is an extremely rare kind of voodoo. When the Tang Dynasty was founded, Emperor Taizu's confidante was smitten by the Silk-Tangled Gu, and she eventually suffered a fate."
"No one knows who is responsible for this silk-twisting Gu!"
"But after that, silk-tangled Gu was seen frequently in the palace, but the owner of the silk-tangled Gu was never found."
"…?!"
Fu Bao stared, actually eating such a big melon by accident.
Emperor Taizu's confidante should be the ninth lady of the Yun family.
Fu Bao had also heard the name of this girl many times, but this was the first time he knew that her death actually involved Gu insects.
"Mother Cai, what exactly are Gus? Where did you learn about the Silk Gu?"
"Miss, voodoos are just ordinary bugs, not as mysterious as the world's legends say. However, there are also special kinds of voodoos, which are very harmful to people."
"Thread-Tangled Gu is one of them!"
Mother Cai is undoubtedly quite knowledgeable and gave Fubao some popular science on the spot. After her popular science, Fubao seemed to understand.
The so-called worms should be some parasites.
The mature parasites are controlled by the poisonous insect owners using special methods. The so-called poisonous insects actually cause the eggs of these parasites to fall on the victim's body. When the eggs hatch, they begin to multiply in the victim's body.
Because there is no secret method to suppress them, these parasites naturally reproduce like crazy. If a certain number of parasites are lost, people will have various problems and even lose their lives.
In this era, it is not easy to remove parasites from the human body.
Because of this, people talk about the change of color of Gu insects.
Fu Bao couldn't see what kind of parasite the silk-tangled Gu was, and he didn't want to see it.
However, since the envelope in Chu Xiuyan's hand contains the silk-winding Gu, does that mean that Chu Xiuyan and the person behind the incidents of silk-winding Gu harming people in the palace are actually the same person? Guy's.
The only person Fubao knows who can stir up troubles in the palace and has such a well-connected information channel is "Nightingale".
Nightingale was once a secret force belonging to the royal family controlled by the Queen Mother and the old lady of Xu Mansion. But with the death of Mrs. Xu and the Queen Mother, the eldest princess came to power. This nightingale should have fallen into the hands of the eldest princess.
"Magistrate Chu, are you from the eldest princess?"
"Or are you from Nightingale?"
Fu Bao looked at Chu Xiuyan and guessed the other person's identity.
Chu Xiuyan was still thinking about how to break the situation, but he never thought that his identity would be revealed by Fu Bao.
However, the answer Fubao guessed was slightly different from the truth.
Chu Xiuyan was from Nightingale first, and then from the eldest princess.
He is a pawn arranged by Nightingale to join the eldest princess's camp.
But who would have thought that by now, the entire Nightingale would have fallen into the hands of the eldest princess.
"I've heard for a long time that the county master is smarter than ordinary people, and my subordinates have never believed it. When I see him today, he is really a man of honor despite his great reputation."
Chu Xiuyan's answer was regarded as acknowledging some of Fubao's guesses, but he did not specify which kind of guesses it was.
However, Fubao didn't necessarily have to determine who Chu Xiuyan belonged to, because both the eldest princess and Nightingale were the enemies of their family.
"The Lord of Defu County, by the decree of the eldest princess, please come to the capital to see me!"
"Of course, you can choose not to go."
"But if you don't go, then all the eight thousand households in Maoyuan County will perish together with Maoyuan County because of your refusal!"
What is shameless
Fu Bao finally saw it!
In the eyes of her third brother, Chu Xiuyan was still a capable official.
But now, in order to make her submit, this official took 8,000 households in Maoyuan County as hostages.
"If the county leader doesn't believe what the official said, the official can let you see it!"
Chu Xiuyan's eyes were very calm, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing. Her understatement was costing lives.
"I believe!"
Fubao had no doubts about his third brother's evaluation of Chu Xiuyan.
This man is indeed a minister, but the target of his allegiance is the eldest princess, which means that he must do everything possible.
For paranoid people, whatever they want to do, they will basically never look back until they hit the wall.
Even if you hit the south wall and get a bloody head, you will not look back, but walk all the way to the dark side, even if you are hit and killed under the wall, you will not hesitate.
Did you harm the people of Maoyuan County because of yourself
Fubao can't do it.
What's more, Li Gan led the town army outside Maoyuan County to desperately intercept the Northern Barbarian cavalry heading south led by An Taigong Xu Huairen. The family members of the town army who died in the battle were all in this city.
"Miss, you can't!"
Cai's mother couldn't help but become anxious when she saw that Fu Bao had decided to capture him without mercy.
"Mother Cai, don't worry!"
Fu Bao smiled slightly, "Since it is the eldest princess who wants to see me, then Magistrate Chu will not mess around before meeting the eldest princess."
"What the county chief said is absolutely true!"
"It's just that I heard that the county master was born with supernatural powers, so he asked the county master to put on these cold iron shackles."
"After all, Xiaguan is just a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken."
"Chu Xiuyan, don't go too far!"
Mother Cai shouted angrily, "Even if the county leader has a little strength, you are an adult and there are so many people protecting you. Is it so excessive?"
"Mom Cai, be careful when sailing the ship that lasts ten thousand years!"
"Since I want to take the county lord to the capital, I can't be too careful."
"What does the county chief think?"
Chu Xiuyan looked at Fu Bao calmly, without the slightest sense of guilt.
"What Magistrate Chu said makes sense!"
What can Fubao say
She is not a human being, so she can only admit defeat for the time being. (End of chapter)
