Chapter 82: Questioning
Zhao Mo intuitively felt that there must be something wrong here, so he was busy holding his breath and continuing to pay attention to the movements in the medical hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
The man's eyes widened, and he asked the man in disbelief, "Are you...... Are you an official of Shangyuan County? Are you really here to handle the case? But ...... But we're in Jiangning County!"
The man was stunned, and his tone became even more fierce: "The case we handled was ordered by the prefect, what else is Shangyuan County and Jiangning County?! Tell me the truth quickly, otherwise I will arrest you to the county office!"
If it is said that the prefect of Jinling ordered it to come down, the case handled by Shangyuan County can be handled in Jiangning County, but there is really such a case, which can be said to be well known to everyone in Jinling Mansion -- the case of the assassination of Shangyuan County Order. The murderer has not yet been caught. Some say he is dead and his bones are gone, others say he fled to the sea, others say he went to Lishui and hid in the mountains...... In short, there are all kinds of theories, but none of them are accurate. Approaching the end of the year, the prefect of Jinling still strictly ordered the subordinate officials to investigate the case, and he did not let it go for many years - it was not him who worked hard anyway.
If it is said that it is involved in the assassination of Shangyuan County Commander, then the Shangyuan County government officials went to the territory of Jiangning County to report the case, and the Jiangjia County government did not say much. Because everyone knows that the dead Shangyuan County Commander is the younger generation of the Shijiao family who is taken care of by the Jinling prefect. The guy from the medical hall didn't want to get into trouble, but he still had doubts about the man's statement: "Official, that guest just now...... It's just to grab medicine, and it's also an ordinary prescription for tonifying the body, a prescription for people with weak bodies, which is very ordinary. This guest is also a frequent visitor to our place, but he is a serious person, and it is impossible for him to have anything to do with such a murderer who assassinated the imperial court!"
The man snorted coldly: "Whether it is related or not, it is not up to you little people to have the final say." I ask you anything, and you just answer. You said that man was a regular visitor to you, so do you know where he lives?"
The guy really didn't know this time: "The guest didn't talk about it. But our owner used to open a hospital in the town, and only opened a branch in the city a few years ago. The guest was a regular customer who had been transferred from the town's medical hall. But where he lives, the little one really doesn't know. ”
The man snorted coldly, "When he comes back next time, you remember to ask me clearly! I'll come back to you in two days!" Then he turned around and left.
The guy was crying with a sad face, and his heart was extremely embarrassed. There was still medicine on the counter that had not yet been grasped, but he couldn't take care of it anymore and hurriedly ran to the backyard. Doctor Ye is still behind the pharmaceutical, and he has to tell the owner about it.
The man left the infirmary, looked left and right, and followed the direction that his companion had followed. After he left, Zhao Mo turned his head out from behind the big tree on the side of the medical hall, looked at it a few times, and then turned back to find the person who had been following the governor's yamen behind him.
Seeing the movement of Zhao Mo's hand, the man hesitated for a moment, stepped forward, saluted, and whispered: "What do you have to say to the little boy?"
Zhao Mo said to him: "I was guarding next to the medical hall just now, and you also saw it." That fierce man who asked the guy in the medical hall said that he was an official of the Shangyuan County Ya, do you recognize him?"
The man did see it and replied, "It looks familiar, it should be the yacha of Shangyuan County." It's just that for some reason, I actually ran to Jiang Ning's side to handle the case. He was also very puzzled in his heart, the case of the assassination of Shangyuan County Commander was indeed a big case in Jinling Mansion, and the Jinling Governor refused to let it go easily, whether it was for public or private purposes, so naturally he would not stop his actions because the New Year was approaching. It's just that anyone who knows a little more about this case knows that the murderer has fled to Lishui, and there is news that he went to Changzhou. There are many rivers over there, and it is next to Taihu Lake, so if the murderer is asked to hide on an island in Taihu Lake along the waterway, it will be troublesome to search for it.
But it is precisely because of this that there is no reason for the Yacha of Shangyuan County to still investigate this case in Jinling City, and also found an irrelevant outsider. That person just went to the infirmary to grab a few prescriptions to replenish his body, why did he call the yacha of Shangyuan County to target him?
After Zhao Mo heard his words, he frowned and asked the other party: "The Shangyuan county order is dead, and the new county commander has not yet taken office......, right?" Do you obey the dispatch of the prefect's yamen?"
The man hurriedly said, "Not really. The prefect's yamen has its own manpower, and the people of the Shangyuan county yamen should be governed by the acting county order, right?"
Zhao Mo looked at him: "Who is the acting county commander, and when did he take office?"
The man smiled and said, "A few days after the original Shangyuan County Commander died, the prefect transferred him. I heard that he was originally the county governor of Dangtu County under the Taiping Mansion next door, and he was also a protégé of the prefect. What is it called...... Li Yanchao is a son of a family in the capital. ”
Zhao Mo's pupils shrank: "Li Yan...... His face turned a little ugly. After a moment of silence, he said, "I know, thank you for telling me." ”
The man saw that his face was wrong, and asked carefully: "Little boy, are you ...... Where are you going to go next?"
Zhao Mo smiled reluctantly: "Naturally, I went back." He looked in the direction where Imperial Doctor Tang and the others had left, "Anyway, there is only one way." ”
Next, the person sent by the governor's yamen simply followed Zhao Mo's side, and there was no need to stay away. Zhao Mo walked forward in silence all the way, but his speed was quite fast. When they arrived less than a hundred feet away from the prince's residence, Zhao Mo saw Imperial Doctor Tang's carriage parked on the side of the road not far ahead, and the guards driving the car got out of the car, as if they were tinkering with a certain part of the wheel. Imperial Physician Tang sat in the carriage and talked to the guards.
Not far from them, the official companion in the infirmary was hiding behind a tree, his eyes fixed on them.
Zhao Mo narrowed his eyes and whispered to the governor of the yamen: "This place is not far from where I live, my companion is in front, I don't need you to escort me back." I wonder if you can please think of a way to get rid of the person who was following my companion? Although I don't know why the people of Shangyuan County Government are targeting my companion, it is impossible for him to have anything to do with the murderer who stabbed Shangyuan County Order. When your governor asked you to come, you must have given an order, right? In case the new Shangyuan County Acting County Commander learned that a clan had come to Jinling City, and did everything possible to inquire about the news and find an opportunity to cling to it, it would be too annoying. Whatever excuse they come up with, I don't want to mislead people into thinking that they are involved in any court offense. ”
The man laughed when he heard this, thinking that Zhao Mo really cared about the stalker's intention to cling to him, and he would come to harass him in the future, so he agreed without saying a word.
Then, pretending to be passing by, he deliberately recognized the person who was following him, and seemed to say that they had met at the prefect's yamen not long ago, and asked how the other party had come here.
Although the person who was following him was an official errand, he was now wearing civilian clothes, looking like he was looking for a place to relax. Others recognized him, and he couldn't push people away on the grounds of "official business". The new Daixian Commander had instructed him not to let outsiders know what he was doing. Although he was a little disapproving, he still obeyed the orders of the county commander. However, when he learned that the person in front of him was from the governor's yamen, he felt that it was worth befriending. The other party warmly invited him to drink, if he refused, he would offend people, anyway, he was not really investigating the case......
Eventually, he was taken away from the scene by the governor's yamen.
Zhao Mo breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly walked towards the carriage.
Imperial Physician Tang looked up and saw him, a little surprised: "Why is the grandson here? What about the people waiting around you? How can they let you walk out alone?!"
Zhao Mo asked him with a calm face: "What are you doing, why are you stranded outside?" Someone followed you, didn't your adult find out?!"
Imperial Physician Tang and the guards were all taken aback: "Someone is following us?!"
Zhao Mo said: "I asked the people from the governor's yamen to help send the people away, and I don't know how long I can delay." Hurry back and don't stay on the side of the road any longer. Those people from Shangyuan County seem to be asking where you live!"
Imperial Physician Tang was even more surprised, he hesitated for a moment: "Shangyuan County Ya, although I have heard about the case of Shangyuan County Commander being killed, now there is a big uproar, and there were officials everywhere in and outside the city before, searching everywhere. But what does this have to do with us? Why do the people from Shangyuan County inquire about my residence?"
He looked at Zhao Mo vigilantly: "Looking at the appearance of the little boy, he seems to know the reason?"
Zhao Mo's face sank. Of course, he knew why. The uncle is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and the whereabouts of the prince of a country are naturally confidential, but it will also attract the attention of countless people, many of whom have ill intentions. In case some of them want to take advantage of the opportunity of Donggong Weifu to travel outside the country to carry out assassination...... There are quite a few people staring at the position of the East Palace at the moment, and even his biological father is one. These people must have already looked at the sick and weak prince unpleasantly, and wished that he would die sooner so that he could give up his seat. If they had known that the prince had been cured, they really didn't know what crazy things they would have done.
If you spread everything out, Imperial Doctor Tang naturally knows what to do. However, Zhao Mo has been pretending to be stupid for so many days, if he said that he knew the identity of the prince at this time, how would these people around the prince think of him?
The guard who was repairing the car suddenly straightened up and looked behind Zhao Mo: "Lord Huang." Zhao Mo looked back, and it turned out that Huang Jincheng was here. He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart.
Huang Jincheng looked at the three of them with a frown, turned his head and asked the guard, "What happened?" The guard told him everything about it.
Huang Jincheng looked at Zhao Mo when he heard this: "Does the little boy know something? Why can't he confess to him? Could it be that the little boy has other ideas?"
Zhao Mo sneered in his heart, he really wanted to slap him in the face. But he didn't move, but showed embarrassment: "It's not that I don't dare to admit it, but I didn't know what was going on until I was just now." The Shangyuan county order was assassinated, and before the new county order took office, it was Li Yanchao, the former Dangtu county leader, who was replaced. Lord Huang didn't know if he had heard of this person? He was the son of the Jingzhong clan, and his mother was the daughter of a branch of the Tu family. I once saw a record in my father's study, saying that his mother's father and brother were all attached to the father and ancestor of the princess of Shu and were his arms in the Tu clan. The little nephew of Princess Shu's relatives has a follower named Li Yansheng, who must be the brother of this Li Yanchao. Although I don't know why this person was transferred to Shangyuan County, it's just that if his back is really the Shu Prince's Mansion......"
He paused, looked at the nervous and vigilant faces of Huang Jincheng and Imperial Doctor Tang, and smiled slightly: "Then most of them are here for me." Because my father ruined the great affairs of the King of Shu and ruined their plans, I am afraid that the whole palace of the King of Shu will hate my father to the bone. I don't want to trouble my uncle because of this, why don't you think about how to beware of this Li Dai County Commander?"
Huang Jincheng and Imperial Physician Tang listened to his words, their faces full of bewilderment.
