Chapter 84: Interrogation

"What did you say?" Li Yanchao frowned and looked at the yacha in front of him, "How can this be?" Liu Zhutou said that you had already followed at that time, and you were not discovered!"

Of course, the yacha would not tell the truth that he was led away with wine and food, and said without blushing and heartbeat: "The little one did follow the carriage, but then there were many people on the street, and one eye was wrong, and the carriage disappeared." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info estimated that the carriage either went to which alley, or turned on another road. It's a pity that when the little one crossed the crowd and caught up, it was too late, and no trace of the carriage was found. But don't worry, there are not many intersections in that area, as long as you send more people to investigate, you will soon be able to find clues!"

Li Yanchao's brows furrowed even tighter: "Then there is no need......" He paused, "After all, this is just a private matter of the official, if it is for private affairs, it is a trouble to work many officials to run, and it is also a trouble for people to know." ”

Now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, the yamen is about to close the pen, what can the yamen be asked to do at this time? If it is just a serious official business, private affairs will definitely cause dissatisfaction and discussion among the yamen. He didn't want too many people to know what he was doing, and it was already good to have one or two head catchers and catchers who were willing to help him, as long as the reward was enough, he didn't ask too much. After all, he was just acting as a county magistrate. When will the word "generation" be removed, maybe you can completely take these officials for your own use, right?

Li Yanchao sighed secretly, a little dissatisfied with his mentor, the prefect of Jinling, who had not let go of his promise to himself, so he instructed the yacha: "You go, continue to pay attention to the medical hall." When those few people appear in the hospital again, you must not lose them again!"

Yacha lowered his head and pursed his lips secretly. It seems that this year's Chinese New Year, he can't enjoy leisure.

The yacha received the order and retreated, and someone would give him a reward. If it weren't for the fact that this acting county magistrate was quite valued by the prefect of Jinling and was generous, the yacha would not have done personal affairs for him. Although the people he followed did not know the origin, judging by their dress, words and deeds, they did not look like ordinary people. If you offend someone who can't afford to offend, that's bad.

Li Yanchao didn't know what the yacha was thinking, he just walked back and forth in the study a few times, and then called Liu Zhutou again, asking the other party to repeat the information he had found.

Liu Zhutou's temperament was a little impatient, and he had been in Shangyuan County for a long time, and his attitude was somewhat arrogant: "Didn't your lord hear about it?" The people who asked the hospital under his subordinates said that the person surnamed Tang only went to catch the body supplement, but the content of the formula was not inquired. The subordinates had already said that they were investigating the case, and they also scared them that it was related to the previous assassination of the county commander. The people in the hospital are honest and tell everything they know, but their knowledge is limited. From the perspective of the subordinates, the person surnamed Tang doesn't seem to be some kind of villain, and the adults may have been mistaken. ”

Li Yanchao glanced at him unhappily: "Is it a mistake, this official knows it." In short, you first find out where those people live, who they are, what they have done in Jinling, and what is the content of the prescription...... Look into these first, but remember not to alarm any of them. ”

Liu Zhutou frowned: "Your Excellency, can you make it clear what exactly you want to investigate? Even if it is for a private matter, there is always a reason, right? Could it be that the person surnamed Tang has offended the adult? In this case, wouldn't it be better to send a sign to take someone and lock him up for a few days? When the time comes, you can toss him as much as you want, and tell the public that he may have something to do with the murderer of the county commander. After a few days have passed, it is found that he is not involved in the case, and he can be released. When the time comes, half of his life will be lost, what do you want him to do, and he still dares to agree?"

Li Yanchao glanced at Liu Zhutou with idiotic eyes: "This official said that it was a secret visit, don't you understand? If it is too big, it is hard to guarantee that it will alarm people who should not be alarmed, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to end." Don't be clever about what the official didn't order! If you cause trouble, the official won't protect you!"

Liu Zhutou pursed his lips secretly, thinking to himself what is there to taboo in the government's investigation of the case? Presumably, this matter of acting on behalf of the county order is unseemly. However, he didn't show it on his face, and only responded with a "yes", without mentioning that he had already pulled the tiger skin of the Shangyuan County Order to scare the people in the hospital.

Liu Zhutou also left, and Li Yanchao sat down in front of the bookcase irritably. is not a confidant, after all, it is still unreliable. But when he first came to office, he was not a justifiable new county order, and he also concealed the two-level bosses who were attached to the city, which was really difficult. Even if this Liu Zhutou and his subordinates are no longer reliable, they can still help to make a move, so they can only do it first. But if you want to really use it well, you still have to wait for someone from the Jingzhong family to send.

Li Yanchao couldn't figure out what Imperial Physician Tang wanted to do in Jinling? The people he sent out had never been able to find out where Imperial Physician Tang lived, was it just bad luck or was he discovered?

He passed by Jiangning on the day he beat and met Imperial Doctor Tang by chance, and he has always had doubts about it. He once wrote a letter back to his home in the capital to inquire, and learned that Imperial Physician Tang was still treating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Xiaotangshan Palace, and he felt that there was something wrong here.

He believed he hadn't mistaken someone, but it was impossible for one person to be in two places at the same time. If Imperial Physician Tang was in Jinling, why did the news in Beijing say that he was treating His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the Xiaotangshan Palace? What secrets does this contain?

Also, when he was wandering around the city two days ago, he once saw Imperial Doctor Tang walking with another man. If he didn't admit his mistake, that should be Imperial Doctor Shen. Imperial Doctor Shen is also a member of the Tai Hospital, and he is very good at conditioning his body. When his grandfather was alive, his father had entrusted the elders of the branch to help invite Imperial Doctor Shen to come to his home to see his grandfather. It can be said that Li Yanchao is more familiar with Imperial Physician Shen than Imperial Physician Tang.

Recently, due to the cold winter, his mother was a little unwell, and she read in the letter that Imperial Doctor Shen was not there, and she failed to invite someone to prescribe a prescription. The reason why Imperial Doctor Shen was not on duty at the Beijing Tai Hospital was that he took a long vacation and went back to his hometown to visit relatives. It is said that when he left Beijing, he traveled with Yongjiahou, and received the will of the saint by the way, and took care of the body of Yongjiahou and his wife on the way south.

Imperial Doctor Shen is obviously from Hangzhou, and he mentioned it himself. Even if he had to take care of the bodies of Yongjiahou and his wife, and Yongjiahou and his wife were now in Jinling, there was no reason for him to spend the New Year in Jinling, right? And what was the reason why Imperial Physician Shen would walk with Imperial Physician Tang?

Li Yanchao knows very well that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace has been weak since he came out of the womb, and for many years, he has been sick from time to time. For 360 days a year, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can have 60 days to be healthy and worry-free, which is a happy event for the whole world to celebrate. And now as he gets older, his health is getting worse and worse. At the end of last year, there was a serious illness, and there was no good news from the palace, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not shown up for more than half a year, and there had been a lot of discussion between the government and the opposition. If it weren't for the emperor's pressure, I'm afraid that Jingzhong would have been in chaos. In the past year, several clan nobles have not played, isn't it because of this?

Li Yanchao suspected that at this juncture, the imperial doctor who was dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace, together with another imperial doctor, secretly rushed to Jiangnan, and it was very likely that he came to ask for medicine or prescription. Li Yanchao has not been in Shangyuan County for a long time, but he has also heard of several famous doctors around Jinling, such as the Ye Medical Hall that Doctor Tang patronized today, which is one of them. Perhaps, it was because the Tai Hospital had no way to deal with His Royal Highness the Prince's illness, so he put down his shelves and went to the people to seek advice?

Li Yanchao felt in his heart that they were simply asking for their own hardships and working in vain, who didn't know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's illness could not be cured? The emperor was reluctant to have his son, so he had to toss, but he was not sure of the candidate for the next emperor's heir, which made the whole city unable to live in peace. Li Yanchao only hoped that the emperor would choose an heir as soon as possible, and that the officials under them would also determine their position as soon as possible.

Isn't the youngest son of the King of Shu very good? The Queen Mother also likes it. Speaking of which, that noble man is still in-law with him, and he is also the cousin of the youngest son of the King of Shu.

Li Yanchao was thinking that he had to figure out where Imperial Doctor Tang was staying in Jinling City as soon as possible, and inquire about what kind of medicine and prescription the other party was looking for. At the same time, he also had to send a letter to Jingzhong, asking his mother to try to contact Princess Shu as soon as possible to see what the other party had planned. If he can get the good prescription that Imperial Doctor Tang found in Jiangnan, or even get the good medicine he got to give to the prince first, maybe he can help Princess Shu.

Li Yanchao's heart beat a little fast. He felt that he had found a way to heaven, but he was not worried that he would steal chickens and rice. What is he afraid of? Everything is in charge of the princess of Shu, and there is still the queen mother above them. No matter who is the heir, he will not dare to snub the queen mother, and he will not dare to snub the Tu family. With the Tu family here, the Li family will be fine.

While Li Yanchao was planning his own careful thoughts there, Zhao Mo and the crown prince sat together again, using their slightly late dinner. The meals are simple and delicious, as always, by the hands of the Imperial Chef. It's just that I used to eat delicious food, but today it has become a little tasteless.

There were only Zhao Mo and the prince in the room, Zhao Mo's smile on his face remained unchanged, and he still spoke respectfully and a little cordial to the prince, as if that unpleasant thing had never happened more than an hour ago.

The prince smiled faintly, listening to Zhao Mo talk about his experience in Qin Zhuang, what Qin Bai taught him, and the agreement with his cousin Qin Hanzhen, as well as the surprise before leaving. When Zhao Mo said that this time the tea business, if everything goes well, it will probably bring him more than 1,000 taels of profits, which is enough for him to live comfortably in Jinling for a few years, his face finally changed a little.

He put away the smile on his face, stared at Zhao Mo with some seriousness, and asked: "What do you mean by this? When you are free, you ask the people below to do a few transactions, just to make some expenses, how do you really plan to settle down in Jiangnan?

The prince stared at Zhao Mo's face: "Guanglu, you said this on purpose, but you want to prove something to me?!"

Even Zhao Mo's face changed now. Is this illusion that he has been trying to maintain really going to be torn apart?
