    He and Liu Xuanchu and Wang Shirong had a close talk late at night, and when they had dinner together and went back to the room to rest, it was already after the third watch at night. Although he was extremely tired, Fatty Lu still did not go back to the room to rest, but asked Xiao Erlang to take Zhu Fangdan  He was pulled out of the bed and brought to his room to talk.

    "Boss, it's almost four o'clock, why haven't you gone to bed yet?" Entering the room sleepily, Zhu Fangdan yawned and urged: "Is there anything urgent? The students are really sleepy, please tell me if you have something to do.  "

    "It's nothing serious, just delaying your rest for a while." Fatty Lu also yawned and said, "Just two things. One is that I will secretly go to Kunming tomorrow, and I will be away for a few days. I am not in Qujing.  In the days to come, the affairs of the county government will be left to you."

    "Oh, what should I say to the outside world?" Zhu Fangdan yawned one after another.

    "Let's just say I'm sick and need to rest for a few days. I've already told Erlang that I won't see anyone who comes." Fatty Lu shook his head again, trying to wake himself up, and said, "One more thing,  If I remember correctly, there seems to be a tree in Yunnan called the Arrow Poison Tree, the sap of which is extremely poisonous, Master Zhu, how much do you know about this poison?"

    "Poison arrow tree?" When it came to medical issues, Zhu Fangdan finally regained some energy, but Zhu Fangdan obviously couldn't understand the term from later generations in Fatty Lu's mouth, and asked doubtfully, "Master, what is poison arrow tree?  Is it a Western noun you saw in a Western book? Can you explain in detail, there are too many poisonous plants and trees in Yunnan, I can¡¯t remember it all at once.¡±

    "Let me think about it." Fatty Lu recalled it carefully, and said with gestures: "It seems to be a very tall tree. The sap is very poisonous. We ethnic minorities in Yunnan like to smear this poison on arrows.  It is used to shoot wild beasts, no matter how huge the beast is, it only takes one arrow to shoot, and it will die if it hits a few arrows."

    "Seeing blood to seal the throat!" Zhu Fangdan blurted out: "It must be seeing blood to seal the throat! There are many trees of this kind in Pu'er Prefecture, and other places in Yunnan, but the number is small. I heard a tree from Pu'er who came to Qujing to learn from me.  The doctor said that this kind of tree is indeed very poisonous. The leaves, trunk and roots are all highly poisonous.  If a needle coated with such poison hits someone, that person will definitely die! The only antidote is red-backed bamboo grass, but you must detoxify immediately after poisoning, otherwise once the poisonous blood enters the heart, even a god will not be able to save it.¡±

    "A poisoned needle can pierce a person to death?" Fatty Lu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Then do you know the symptoms of a poisoned person?"

    "I haven't seen it with my own eyes." Zhu Fangdan shook his head, and continued: "But I heard from the doctor's daughter who came to study medicine with me that if this kind of poison is stuck on the body, the wound will have other symptoms besides redness and swelling.  Just like a heart attack, the heart suddenly stops beating and suffocates to death. If a doctor who does not understand this kind of poison, it is easy to misjudge it as a heart attack and die suddenly."

    "Sure enough, it's exactly what I thought. Maybe Wu Liuyi died from the poison of the poisonous arrow tree." Fatty Lu was overjoyed, and then asked doubtfully, "Wait, you heard that from the daughter of the Pu'er doctor?"  ? Didn¡¯t that Pu¡¯er doctor learn medicine from you? Why did you ask his daughter for advice?¡±

    "Boss, why do you know so well?" Zhu Fangdan rarely blushed, and said coyly, "Although the doctor's family can speak Chinese, they are not Han Chinese. The girl is very enthusiastic and generous, and she sincerely wants to learn Central Plains medicine from me."  , and then Well, my boss, you know my temper. Anyway, that little girl threatened me. If I don¡¯t marry her to be a child, she will let me taste the power of blood sealing my throat, and then I will ask  Let¡¯s see what the Blood Sealing Throat is.¡±

    "Oh, no wonder there is a saying in Yunnan and Guizhou that 'If you want to learn well, you have to sleep with the master', you earned it." Fatty Lu laughed, "Remember to tell me when you are young, and I will help you."

    "Let's talk about it slowly, at least wait for her father to leave the teacher, otherwise she might not care, but there is no place for my old face." Zhu Fangdan was even more shy, and quickly changed the subject and asked: "Master, you are late at night.  He suddenly called me over and asked me what the reason for sealing my throat when I saw blood?"

    "The thing is like this. I received the news today that Wu Liuyi, the admiral of the Nine Gates in the capital, suddenly fell ill and died." Fatty Lu didn't hide anything from Zhu Fangdan, and directly told the story of Wu Liuyi's murder, and explained: "  I have also heard of the toxicity of seeing blood to seal the throat before. After being poisoned, it looks like dying of a heart attack. It¡¯s just that it¡¯s been too long and I can¡¯t remember clearly. So I¡¯m looking for you to confirm and see if Wu Liuyi may die here.  Plant poison."

    "It's possible, but I can't be sure." Zhu Fangdan said in embarrassment: "It would be great if there is a corpse (ancient autopsy report).Weeping loudly.  Hu Guozhu and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly asked: "Yifeng, what's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you crying so sadly?"

    "General Hu, I'm not crying for myself, I'm crying for you, for you and the prince." Fatty Lu covered his face with his hands, and replied with a sob.

    "Cry for me? What do you mean?" Hu Guozhu was dumbfounded.

    "General Hu, although you have slapped me, it was because I asked you to act in a play." Fatty Lu said with a sob, "Besides, since I came to the prince's family, all the people in Pingxi's palace have been there.  It is to treat the subordinate officials as relatives and treat them like brothers and sisters. In the case of Li Suzu last time, you, General Hu, also went to Shengjing Pass to meet Lord Kang with Old General Wu in order to save the life of the subordinates.  Prince Kang kowtowed his head to pay his respects, and because of his bird spirit, the lower officials are always grateful, but only wish they could not repay the great kindness"

    "Why are you being polite? That's what I should do." Hu Guozhu didn't blush, and directly admitted the petty favor he gave to Fatty Lu, and asked curiously: "But, why are you crying for me?"

    "But now, not only I still can't repay the general's great kindness, but I still have to see it with my own eyes" The more Fatty Lu cried, the more sad he became, and suddenly he said something earth-shattering, "I still have to see it with my own eyes, General!  To be beheaded and ransacked by the imperial court, and to destroy the whole family, the lower officials are in pain, and have to cry for the general."

    "What did you say?" Hu Guozhu was furious, stood up and said angrily: "Say it again, I am about to be beheaded and ransacked by the court, and the whole family will be punished?!"

    "Yifeng, what nonsense are you talking about?!" Liu Xuanchu was also taken aback. He stood up and wanted to stop the students, but Wang Shirong next to him suddenly grabbed Liu Xuanchu's sleeve, tugged a few times, and gave Liu Xuanchu a wink.  Come here, shut your mouth quickly, and don't stop Fatty Lu, a treacherous student who talks to people and talks nonsense, from speaking.

    "In the seventeenth year of Shunzhi, the imperial court ordered the prince to disarm half of the army." Fatty Lu said while wiping his tears, sobbing: "At that time, Remnant Yongli was still lingering in Burma, and it was time to give him a fatal blow."  At the critical moment of the attack, why did the court rush to force the prince to cut down so many troops? It¡¯s not because the mountains in Yunnan are high and the emperor is far away, so it¡¯s hard to control. What if the prince, like Li Dingguo, suddenly joins forces with Remnant¡­¡±

    "In the case of Cha Rulong, the prince has never even seen what Cha Rulong looks like. In the end, he was ridden on the head by a bastard magistrate to shit and pee. Who gave him the courage?"

    "At the beginning of last year, the power of the prince to manage the civil affairs in Yunnan and Guizhou was taken away, and the right to select generals from the local green camp was also taken away, and the prince was forced to cut the salary. Finally, the matter of discussing the salary was finally reversed. Your Majesty  Immediately sent officials to Qujing to monitor the lord. The lord is so loyal to the court, who has he recruited? Why are the emperor and the court still treating him like this?"

    "When Lord Kang came to Yunnan, he secretly checked the topographic maps of mountains and rivers in Yunnan and Guizhou. He also went to the Youzhen camp several times to inspect the army and record the equipment of the Pingxi Palace army. Lord Kang is an idle prince. He is really idle."

    "The previous King of Jingnan, Geng Zhongming, was discovered by the court because he took in a slave who escaped from the Boluobeile family. In order not to affect his descendants, he hanged himself to death"

    "Beile Dudu, how much credit has the eldest grandson of the great ancestor of the Qing Dynasty made for Longxing of the Qing Dynasty? But why were his five sons deposed from the clan, without clothes or food?  "

    "The Regent Prince Dorgon, how beautiful was he during his lifetime? But after he died of illness, his grave was dug up, and his only daughter was rewarded as a gift. Regent Prince, are you really wronged?"

    "Han Xin, Peng Yue, Ying Bu, Xu Da, Lan Yu, the sixth Duke of the founding of the country, when I think of the stories of these people, and the various actions and signs of the court in the past few years, I have to cry! I have to cry for the prince!  Crying, I have to cry for the prince's eldest son-in-law, General Hu"

    Fatty Lu cried a few times and said something, and Hu Guozhu's face turned ugly. At the end, Hu Guozhu simply yelled with a livid face, "Enough! If you cry again, I will kill you now!"

    "General Hu, please do it!" Fatty Lu stretched out his neck actively, stared at Hu Guozhu, and said with a sob: "General Hu, please. Or you should seize this golden opportunity and let our Pingxi Palace change."  Get stronger, strong enough to protect yourself, so strong that no one dares to harbor ill intentions towards our Pingxi Palace!"

    "Otherwise, please draw out your sword, and chop off the head of the traitorous official, the traitor, and then take the subordinate official to show your loyalty to the emperor and the court, and then ask the prince to hand over his military power, disarm and return to the field.  I implore the emperor and the imperial court to spare your life for the prince and General Hu!"

    "Do you think I really dare not kill you?!" Hu Guozhu yelled furiously, and as soon as he turned around, he pulled out the precious sword hanging on the wall with a clang.

    "General Hu, if you want to kill Lord Lu, please kill us first!" Liu Xuanchu, Fang Guangchen, and Wang Shirong stood up together, knelt down in front of Hu Guozhu, and said in unison: "General Hu, what Lord Lu said is also from our hearts.  If you really want to kill him, a loyal minister of the Pingxi Palace, please kill us together!"  !)
