【Nine times】Lu Sheng's strategy

Jiang Chengyi's heart was in a state of coldness at this moment. Hearing Mu Yun's persuasion, he slowly calmed down and said, "What you are saying is... I shouldn't be so panicked..."

Mu Yun nodded, held his slightly trembling hand, and calmed him down: "Believe me, this matter... there is always a solution. Now the most important thing is how to get that person out of the palace. If he stays by Emperor Wei for one more day, he will have a little more exposure risk."

Jiang Chengyi's palms were sweating in fine cold sweat. Seeing him like this, Mu Yun became deeply worried.

He has always been a person who is calm and can treat each other calmly. But now it involves the lives of people around him, especially the luck of ordinary people. Even if he is not surprised in his daily life, he has to be afraid at this moment.

Jiang Chengyi leaned against the pillar under the corridor, his eyes drooped and said with great anger: "He has been hiding it from me and Aluo for many years, and has been hiding it with someone to send letters. But I never expected that the person who communicated with him was Zhou Yuanmo. There were traces to follow this matter, but he did it without any attention.

No wonder, in recent years, he often used the excuse of giving Aluo medicine to Jianye, and asked Uncle Fang Si to travel with him. Now I think that Uncle Fang Si is the best cover for him to avoid my questioning... However, this matter also made me realize... Zhou Yuanmo, his identity must be as simple as the third in command of Ye Kongge."

Mu Yun silently kept his eyes down and thought for a moment, saying, "Is Zhou Yuanmo also a descendant of the gentry who was persecuted in the violent blood case back then?"

Jiang Chengyi sighed and nodded and said, "It is very likely that Qin Ye has been privately looking for the children of the gentry who were lucky enough to escape after being confiscated in the bloody case. If Zhou Yuanmo had nothing to do with the incident that year, he would not have lasted for five years. Not to mention that every time Uncle Fang Shi took goods from Jianye, he would have to follow him. However, I cannot be completely sure that the person he was in correspondence was Zhou Yuanmo, but I just felt that putting all kinds of coincidences together became inevitable."

Seeing his decadent face, Mu Yun fell into deep worries: "Now... Emperor Wei's illness is still much better, and the Imperial Physician Order Su Yun also returned a month ago. I think it's time to bring Qin Ye out."

Jiang Chengyi glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid it's not that easy. Originally, I sent Qin Ye into the palace just to allow him to contact the Dao Imperial Physician Palace and obtain the medical book he passed down from generation to generation stored by his master in the Medicine Pavilion in the Medical Palace. After he obtained this book, he could develop a way to unlock the strange fire poison that Yue Fu had been seriously injured in the Huns. But he still failed to restrain his hatred...

Now he colluded with Zhou Yuanmo and succeeded in Deng Yuan's private residence. This is one step closer to their plan. The explosion made Emperor Wei's fear and resentment towards Deng's family. If Ning Nanyou's plan is combined, the Deng family will soon collapse and disintegrate. Then, next, he will join forces with Zhou Yuanmo to deal with His Majesty and Ning Zheng. How could he give up such a good opportunity... Come back with me?"

Mu Yun had a deep brow and knew that the situation was serious, but she had no good idea for the time being, so she could only calm down and remain silent.

As Jiang Chengyi guessed.

The mastermind of this explosion was someone who would never have thought of in this vast capital. This man secretly colluded with Zhou Yuanmo. The meticulous plan to secretly send it to the capital in batches was absolutely impossible to start preparations at least two or three months ago, based on the preparation and transportation of sulfur powder and charcoal powder that could be detonated, and avoiding the three parties of the Taiwei Mansion, Shangshutai, and Dongfusi.

This unexpected person was Qin Ye, who was sent to the palace by Jiang Chengyi more than four months ago, serving the Emperor of Wei, and now serves as a medical official in the imperial physician order.

More than two months ago, when Deng Yuan entered the palace to meet the Emperor of Wei, Qin Ye accompanied the king and his ministers. When Deng Yuan was not paying attention, Qin Ye secretly laid a special poison prepared by him in his teacup. This medicine is called Yiyue San. As the name of the medicine, after three days, the person who took it will experience symptoms such as fatigue in his legs and feet, empty abdomen, dizziness, vomiting and diarrhea, and this condition will last for a whole month. Although it will not die, if it is not treated in time, it will slowly consume your energy and die of illness.

As expected, three days after Deng Yuan returned to the palace, he suddenly became seriously ill, vomited and had diarrhea, was unable to go to court, and was even dying, and his life was in danger. Deng Guozhong hurriedly took the invitation to the palace to look for the imperial physician. At that time, Qin Ye calculated the time and relied on the eyeliner outside the palace, and knew that Deng Guozhong had submitted a letter to visit the palace to invite the imperial physician, so he tried his best to deliberately lead the Emperor Wei to the imperial physician palace, so that the emperor happened to meet Deng Guozhong who came to the imperial physician palace for medical treatment. When Deng Guozhong stated Deng Yuan's illness, he first explained the source of the disease in the imperial physician palace. Then the Emperor of Wei ordered him to follow Deng Guozhong to the Deng Yuan palace to treat him.

Originally, Deng Guozhong was unwilling to let Qin Ye go back to his residence to treat his grandson. He knew that Qin Ye was the person sent to the palace by Jiang Chengyi. Such a person was obviously the eyeliner placed by Jiang Chengyi. However, Emperor Wei personally cared for him and issued an order. No matter how much Deng Guozhong refused to want Qin Ye to enter his Deng Mansion, he had no choice.

However, Qin Ye's acupuncture technique is a unique skill in the capital and even the world. Deng Yuan's illness gradually improved and even recovered under his wonderful skills. It took less than a month. Seeing that Qin Ye did not make any small moves from beginning to end, Deng Guozhong had never visited Jiang Mansion, or had communicated with Jiang Chengyi in private in the palace, so he believed him for the time being.

Deng Yuan trusted Qin Ye very much.

In the following month, Qin Ye often went to Deng Yuan's mansion to take his pulse on the grounds that he was ill and recuperated. Deng Yuan was a hospitality person. The renovation and construction of his private house was also a unique place in the capital. The huge mansion was as elegant and fresh as a fairyland in the forest garden. What is rare is that every flower, grass, wood and pile of the mansion was repaired and renovated by Deng Yuan himself, and he was also designed by him. Usually when guests came to the door, Deng Yuan would take the guests to stroll the garden from beginning to end to boast about the exquisite repair style of his mansion.

Of course, Qin Ye is no exception. He pretended to love the construction of Deng Yuan’s mansion. Whenever he came to take his pulse, he would ask Deng Yuan to take him around the mansion. Over time, he became familiar with the garden and knew that there was a private prison underground in Deng Yuan’s mansion.

Although this private prison is underground, it cleverly opens an inclined opening from the top, allowing the light of the sun to penetrate from the inconspicuous windows and illuminate the entire dungeon.

Therefore, there is no need to light a candle during the day, and the dungeon is also clear and bright, unlike the imperial prison in the Tingwei Mansion, which requires the candlelight to be lit every day and night.

He and Zhou Yuanmo colluded with each other three months ago, because they were afraid that only poisoning Shi An would not allow Emperor Wei to completely suspicion and rift against Deng. They were even more afraid that if Shi An was just poisoned to death, Deng Yuan would find out in time that he could have the opportunity to discuss countermeasures with his grandfather, which would make the matter fall into nothing. So the two of them would come up with this plan.

Qin Ye’s master was not only a famous moxibustion and treatment master at that time, but also an old immortal who practiced Taoism and alchemy. He was very clear about how to refine alchemy, and naturally knew that sulfur and charcoal were ground into powder in large quantities and spread in a relatively closed place. It would explode when exposed to an open fire.

He took advantage of this and asked Zhou Yuanmo to buy a large amount of sulfur and charcoal more than two months ago and ground it into powder. He used the merchants in Yekong Pavilion to enter the city in batches, avoiding the screening of the Taiwei Mansion, Shangshutai and the Shangshutai.

Finally, after he gained Deng Yuan's trust and confirmed that Shi An was in his mansion, he locked the palace gate at night. When he was able to return to the Imperial Medical Office, he secretly took Zhou Yuanmo to the Jianghu masters in Beijing and sneaked into the private prison of Deng Yuan's mansion to explore the terrain. After finding out the rotation time and number of people of the dungeon guards, he gathered a large amount of sulfur powder and charcoal powder scattered in various corners of the capital. He chose an opportunity to extinguish the candlelight in the dungeon in the early morning and arrange everything when the hand-replaced. When the sky sinks slightly in the evening, the guards in the prison ignite the candlelight and can detonate it smoothly.

However, on Laba Day, it happened to be a heavy snowfall in Luoyang. By noon, the snow had accumulated very thickly. Deng's mansion was no exception. The snow was piled up at the entrance of the dungeon and the bright windows around, blocking the light. The guards felt that the light was too dark, so they lit the candles. This made Deng Yuan's mansion explode after noon, and the folk people sacrificed their gods and ancestors, or returned from a garden.

Originally, it was ten days in the evening. According to customs, all the lords of the families still needed to go to the worship site for a second sacrifice to be considered loyal to the gods for good luck in the coming year. If the Deng Mansion's mansion exploded at this time, the casualties would not be as heavy as they are now.

However, things are unpredictable. Qin Ye probably never expected that a heavy snow in Luoyang would have advanced the explosion several hours, causing so many casualties.

Of course, Jiang Chengyi didn't know that Qin Ye did not intend to kill so many innocent people. He didn't know that when Qin Ye was doing this, he still had the last bit of kindness in his heart, and he had the idea that the layout in the private prison was discovered midway, hoping that someone could stop the disaster. But in the end, this tragic disaster came under the opportunity of the overlap between heaven and man.

He thought Qin Ye had planned everything, including the innocent and innocent deaths, because only enough serious casualties could make the Emperor of Wei pay attention to it and make the dispute between Deng and Emperor of Wei even more intense.

Jiang Chengyi was disappointed because of this.

At the beginning, he had already warned Qin Ye, but Qin Ye still insisted on his own and left all the Shui Pavilion brothers in Beijing in danger.

Once this incident occurs, not only will he no longer be able to stay with Ning Wuheng's side and complete the task assigned to him by Empress Qiongsang, but even Xue Qing, Uncle Fang Si, Yan Ji and others are in danger.

Needless to say, he, Mu Yun and even Jiang Chengjia, has a way to escape if he escapes. But these mortal bodies will undoubtedly die.

Even the General Yueqi's son, General Yuefu, who had worked hard to save from the Xiongnu Saha grassland, was exposed.
