The Wife is First - 42Chapter 42 Aconitum

“Xiao Hei?” Jing Shao was startled, put down his bowls and chopsticks and ran out. You were fine last night, why did you get sick so early in the morning?

“Your Majesty!” Mu Hanzhang looked at Jing Shao’s half-eaten meal, sighed helplessly, got up and walked towards the stable.

“Eh…” Xiao Hei was panting angrily in the stable. The fodder in the trough was scattered all over the floor and was stepped on by it. The shepherd squatted on the side holding his stomach. He was obviously kicked by Xiao Hei. .

You are so energetic, how do you look like you are sick? Jing Shao asked the soldiers who were trying to comfort Xiao Hei to get out of the way, lightly kicked the pillar, jumped on the horse’s back, and grabbed Xiao Hei’s reins. “Hey~” Xiao Hei immediately stood up and chirped, knowing that the master was coming. He finally stopped tossing and breathed hot air, but he kept stamping his feet.

“Jun Qing, don’t come here yet.” Afraid that Xiao Hei would lose his temper and hurt him, Jing Shao hurriedly stopped Mu Hanzhang from approaching.

Zhao Meng walked over from the other side and saw Mu Hanzhang standing three steps away. He said jokingly, “That’s right. It would be bad if someone with this thin skin and tender flesh gets kicked.”

“Zhao Meng! Shut up!” Jing Shao glared at General Zhao who was talking nonsense. After Xiao Hei calmed down, he jumped off the horse, looked at the messy stable, and asked the stable boy on the ground, “What’s going on?”

“Back to your lord, I got up late in the morning and didn’t have time to cut fresh grass for Xiao Hei, so I gave him hay. Unexpectedly, he vomited it up after taking one bite and went crazy.” The shepherd kneeled on the ground. He answered calmly, for fear that the prince would blame him.

“Is this horse still picking up food? You shouldn’t be spoiled by beasts!” General Zhao was not angry after being scolded by the prince. He walked up and patted Xiao Hei and said to Mu Hanzhang, “Why don’t you dare, military advisor?” Come forward? If you want to go to the battlefield, you can’t be as timid as a girl.”

Mu Hanzhang ignored the unpleasant General Zhao, walked slowly to the manger, looked at it carefully for a moment, frowned slightly, picked up a piece of hay and said to the stableman: “The horses in this stable are well fed. Are they all this kind of fodder?”

The herdsman didn’t understand why the military advisor asked this, so he looked up at the prince and answered truthfully. He was afraid that Xiao Hei wouldn’t like to eat hay, so he took the new fodder and gave it to him to eat alone. The new forage is not completely dry, and half of it is still green grass, which tastes better than hay.

“Jun Qing, is there any problem?” Jing Shao noticed something was wrong and turned to ask Mu Hanzhang who was standing aside.

“There is Aconitum in this forage!” Mu Hanzhang handed the grass in his hand to Jing Shao.

Zhao Meng took a handful of grass and looked at it: “What aconite grass? Isn’t this just ordinary thatch?”

Jing Shao looked at the grass blades in his hands. The half-dried leaves were still slightly green, slightly wider than thatch, and not irritating to the touch. Horses are born with the ability to identify poisonous weeds and will not eat them unless they are extremely hungry. Xiao Hei ate too much last night, so he will naturally be picky about poisonous weeds.

“Call Zuo Hujun.” Jing Shao frowned. With Jun Qing’s temperament, if he wasn’t sure, he would never be unable to say anything.

Just then, the guards on the left and right heard about the accident in the stable and rushed over.

“I’ve seen aconite grass in Shu, but it doesn’t look like this.” Seeing the prince’s solemn expression, Zhao Meng couldn’t help but interjected, aconite grass is a heartbroken grass, who would use it to deal with a horse in such a vicious way?

“The yellow grass that grows in Shu is the aconite, and this is the long-leaf aconitum that grows on the grassland.” Zuo Hujun said expressionlessly. He has always loved horses, so he naturally pays special attention to their horses’ forage.

“Hey~” Xiao Hei snorted, seeming to agree with Zuo Hujun’s statement.

Jing Shao touched the big black head and said in a deep voice: “Check!”

An hour later, those who feed the horses, those who manage the forage warehouse, and those who escort the grain and grass were all brought to the king’s tent.

“My lord, it’s really not a small matter!” The man kneeling down kowtowed and poisoned the war horse, which was a serious crime of beheading.

“Your Majesty, the general has already checked and found out that there is a small amount of aconite grass mixed with the new grass in the fodder warehouse.” Zuo Hujun said.

“You guys, do you have anything to say?” You Hujun walked up to you with a smile, “Poisoning a war horse is a crime of decapitation. If you don’t admit it, you will all lose your head.”

“My lord, please forgive me! It’s really not a small matter!” I repeatedly stated the matter of the fodder. The fodder was only delivered yesterday, and the warehouse was never close to the outside. Even though the escort was transporting it, no package was dropped during the transportation, and the horse herders were even more worried. It was an injustice. He was only responsible for providing grass for the horses to eat. It was impossible for him to mix poisonous weeds into the entire forage bank.

Everyone has their own reasons, but everything is here, and the poisonous weeds will never fly in by themselves. They didn’t even admit it, so they were all dragged out and chopped! “Zhao Meng raised his hand. If something like this happens, he must be killed to serve as a warning to others.

Jing Shao frowned. He also felt that it was not done by someone in the military. The person who poisoned them wanted to poison all the horses. This did not happen in the previous life, but this time when we stayed in the suburbs of Beijing, this happened. However, there is no problem with the ins and outs, but where did the poisonous weed come from?

“Wait!” Mu Hanzhang, who had been sitting and listening for a long time, suddenly spoke up and stopped the guards from dragging him away. “The matter has not been investigated clearly. These cannot be killed yet.”

“Military advisor, this is the military law. If you say this, are you trying to protect someone?” Zhao Meng just couldn’t bear to read. He asked what to check. If this kind of thing stays for one more day, the military camp will be more dangerous. What happened on the battlefield? This kind of thing must be resolved quickly, and if they are all killed, there will be no problem.

This kind of thing happened to this military advisor just after he entered the military camp, which is really suspicious. After hearing this, everyone looked at Mu Hanzhang with something wrong.

“General Zhao is so eager to kill, is he trying to cover up something?” Mu Hanzhang flipped through the records of the grain and grass warehouse in his hand and said calmly.

“…” Zhao Meng was choked and stunned.

Mu Hanzhang closed the book in his hand, not intending to let him go, and then analyzed: “Everywhere in the army is heavily guarded. If you dare to attack food and grass, you must have the accommodating power of a high-ranking official.” A pair of eyes as black as paint. Staring straight at General Zhao, he seemed to have seen through everything.

“…blood spurts out!” Zhao Meng was so angry that his face turned red and his beard trembled a little.

“Mr. Jun didn’t even say it, he just did it. Why are you excited?” You Hujun added without hesitation, watching the excitement, while Zuo Hujun remained expressionless and said nothing.

Jing Shao put his fist to his lips. Although he knew he shouldn’t, he couldn’t help but laugh.

“Your Majesty, I think these people should be detained first, and then we can make a conclusion after the matter is clarified.” Mu Hanzhang stood up, cupped his fists and said to Jing Shao.

“If you have the ability, come and investigate this matter!” Zhao Meng pointed at Mu Hanzhang and said.

Mu Hanzhang curled his lips slightly: “You can also check.”

“We have to set a time limit!”

“Three days.”

“Okay! If we can’t find out in three days, we will share the same crime with them!” Zhao Meng was so angry at Mu Hanzhang’s indifferent attitude that he raised his voice.

“As long as General Zhao doesn’t get in the way.” Mu Hanzhang’s tone remained unchanged, his voice was gentle and gentle, but it was more convincing than the shouting General Zhao.

“Hmph! Squat with them in the military prison!” Zhao Meng was so angry that he almost jumped up. Although he couldn’t stand it, he wouldn’t do such a small thing, “Then we have to issue a military order!”

Mu Hanzhang glanced at him and thought that General Zhao was not completely reckless. He asked Yun Song to get a pen and paper, write a military order in Junxiu and powerful handwriting, and signed the word “Jun Qing” first. . General Yun Song brought the order in front of Zhao Meng. General Zhao took the pen and signed his name twice without looking at it. He grabbed a few coins on the ground and turned around to leave.

General Mu Hanzhang folded up his orders and handed them to Jing Shao.

After everyone left, Jing Shao couldn’t help but hold his princess in his arms: “Are you sure that this matter will be investigated?” Jun Qing was so handsome when he was fighting with Zhao Meng just now. He was so sharp and sharp, as if Hanzhang’s sword was unsheathed and he was fascinated by it.

Mu Hanzhang was hugged by Jing Shao and moved a little unaccustomedly: “It’s just a guess, and I’m not completely sure.”

“Zhao Meng is a reckless man, why should we be familiar with him?” Jing Shao frowned when he heard this and couldn’t help but worry. Military orders are not issued casually. If they can’t find out by then, they will be in trouble.

“The signature is the ‘word’, but not the ‘name’. According to Dachen regulations, any military order signed with something other than the full name cannot be counted.” Mu Hanzhang chuckled.

Jing Shao was stunned for a moment, swallowed his saliva, and thought to himself that it would be better not to easily anger his princess in the future.

Mu Hanzhang told everyone not to publicize this matter, and he would come to the account books in the military camp and check them carefully.

In the evening, Jing Shao, who had returned from military training, took a shower and went to the desk. Under the candlelight, Mu Hanzhang placed a large pile of account books next to him and read through them quietly. Jing Shao casually flipped through these account books. There were not only accounts for food and grass, but also accounts for weapons, military uniforms, tents, troop movements, etc.

“Why are you looking at these?” Jing Shao asked confused, “Aren’t you going to check on the food and grass matters?”

“I wanted to take a look at the army’s account books, and it just happened to be an opportunity, so I took a look at them all.” Mu Hanzhang turned over a page and wrote a few words on the paper beside him.

“There’s no rush to do this. You can watch it anytime you want,” Jing Shao picked up Daheng from behind. “It’s too late. We’ll watch it tomorrow.”

“Read this book!” Mu Hanzhang struggled.

“No, I’m sleepy, and the military advisor wants to sleep with you!” Jing Shao said, throwing the ball onto the wide bed, and jumped on it himself.

Mu Hanzhang was so overwhelmed by the attack that he reached out to push him. Suddenly he heard the footsteps of patrolling soldiers outside the tent, and he hurriedly held Jing Shao down to prevent him from moving. Then I remembered that there were lights in the tent, and the movements in the tent could be seen from outside!

Jing Shao’s chest was pressed down, and through the thin summer clothes, his chin happened to be placed on a small bean, and he gently rubbed it back and forth.

“Well…” Mu Hanzhang glared at him, turned around and blew out the candle next to the bed.

“Jun Qing,…” Jing Shao’s eyes widened. His princess was so proactive today, blowing out candles. This was obviously seduction! So, he quickly took off his shirt, looked for those soft lips and kissed her.

Mu Hanzhang was caught off guard by the kiss, and he tried to push away the random guy. However, his strength seemed to be that of resisting and welcoming him, and he even more recklessly reached into his underwear and his shiny chest. Caress gently.

“Well…” Mu Hanzhang was so excited that when Jing Shao’s hands touched his underwear, he couldn’t bear to lift his legs, pressed against his waist and abdomen, and pushed him off his body.

“Jun Qing…” Jing Shao was thrown down and climbed up again dissatisfied.

“The candles in the tent are still burning, and you can see them outside.” Mu Hanzhang frowned and pointed to the brass candlestick in front of the table, on which eight candles were burning loudly.

Jing Shao jumped up hurriedly, blew out the candle in one breath, then got into bed and hugged her.

“Have you forgotten what the prince said the day before yesterday?” Mu Hanzhang pulled the quilt and covered him, “I have to recharge my batteries these days and have to get up early tomorrow, so go to bed early.” The gentle voice said it as a matter of course, just like a Admonitions from a loyal minister.

“Jun Qing…” When Jing Shao heard him mention the day before yesterday, he immediately lost confidence and shook his arms. However, he just buried his face in his chest, quietly closing his eyes and seemed to have fallen asleep.

I thought it would be over after just one day of fooling around, but I didn’t expect that my princess would be so vindictive! Jing Shao could only rub it into his arms…to sleep!
