119 Retribution
After the fifteenth Shangyuan Festival, everything is on the right track, and the streets of the capital that have been deserted for a while due to the Chinese New Year have resumed the traffic of the past.
There is a gold alley in the east of the city, which is suddenly lively early this morning.
The crowd gathered in front of a medical hall to watch a man kneeling and wailing.
As the saying goes, a man doesn't flick when he has tears, a burly man, howling in his throat on the crowded street for nearly half an hour, it is a real wonder, no wonder it can attract so many people.
"Hey, don't cry yet, what's going on with you?"
Someone asked curiously, and everyone agreed.
I saw that the man stopped crying, looked at the crowd of onlookers with tears in his eyes, and saw that there were enough people, so he opened his mouth and choked up: "Neighbors and neighbors, my Zhang Hong's life is hard!" ”
This sound was loud enough to attract more people. There are also people who have been watching and are amazed, this person has been howling for so long, and now his voice is not even hoarse, what a strange person!
"Why is your life miserable, you name it, everyone will help you think of ideas!"
The man wiped his tears, "I have a younger brother named Zhang Zhi, last year's hometown snow disaster, our brothers fled to the capital, do some coolies on weekdays to make a living, and finally saved some money for the New Year...... Who knew that my brother was fine without drinking medicine, and as soon as he drank it, he swallowed his breath in half an hour...... Pity a big living man! Just like that, I was born and died in front of my eyes......"
Before he finished speaking, the man howled again, "If you want me to say that this rejuvenation hall was opened by Lord Yama, what kind of doctor who saves lives and helps the wounded, he clearly kills people without blinking...... The two of us brothers have lost their parents since they were children, and they depend on each other for their lives, and now I am left alone! Pity my brother has just turned eighteen, and he hasn't even married a daughter-in-law......"
The man pointed to the closed door behind him again, and said angrily: "This Rejuvenation Hall is so hateful, it poisoned my brother, and now he won't even open the door!" ”
In recent years, the law and order in the capital have been good, and this kind of disaster rarely occurs, and this time the man burst into tears, which attracted the people who lived comfortably around him. Gradually, some people began to give him ideas, "What's the use of howling here?" If it is really the death of this Huichun Hall doctor, he should go to the official to seek justice! ”
"Yes! Go to the official, I heard that our Jingzhao Mansion Yin is a Qingtian master, and he will definitely be able to call the shots for you. ”
"Yes, go and sue the official!"
The man stopped howling for a while, and asked the enthusiastic neighbors around him suspiciously, "Our brother is from out of town, go to sue the official, can the eldest man come to us?" ”
Someone immediately cheered him up, "No, no, no, this old man is upright and strict, and he has never been partial to those rich and noble families, I heard that he is the brother of our queen's mother!" In a few days, people will go to the DPRK to take office, hurry up and take advantage of the fact that the people have not left, you go to redress your grievances! ”
"Hey! Good, good! Thank you, everyone, I'm going! The man kowtowed a few times to the surroundings, and walked quickly to Jingzhao Mansion under the guidance of the enthusiast.
~~
Jingzhao Mansion.
The sound of ascending to the hall started, and Chu Jian sat in front of the hall.
has been an official for more than ten years, in fact, he has never broken such a foolish case today, the person who shouted the grievances was arranged by himself, and the grievances complained by this man named "Zhang Hong" are also unwarranted, but he can be sure that the defendant who knelt down, Li Gaofu, the doctor of the "Rejuvenation Hall", is indeed not a good person.
"Li Gaofu" is a fake name, and this person is Liao Zhong, the poison doctor that their Chu Mansion spent several years finding.
Under the protection of the Peiguo Mansion, this person changed his name, forged a new identity, opened a medical clinic in the capital, and has lived in seclusion for more than three years. It took them a lot of effort to find out the details of this person, and after some arrangement, there was a scene of "Zhang Hong" shouting grievances on the street today.
Although he is an upright official, he rarely cheats people like this, but when he thought that the person kneeling in the hall at this time was a poison doctor who repeatedly used vicious methods to trap others, Chu Jian no longer had any mercy in his heart, so he just asked the case coldly.
Because the "grievances" were arranged in advance, Liao Zhong, who had never done it at all, naturally did not admit it, and kowtowed again and again to shout grievances, but Zhang Hong did a good job of being the bitter master, and he insisted that Liao Zhong did it. Both sides insisted on their own words, and neither side would budge, and on the surface it seemed that the case was at an impasse.
After listening to the statements of both parties, Chu Jian thought for a while, and spoke in the court: First, order an autopsy, if Zhang Zhizhen is poisoned and dies, he will immediately search the Huichun Hall, and it is necessary to find out the poison. Second, before the truth is revealed, the suspect "Li Gaofu" will be temporarily detained, and if it is found out that the consequences are true and innocent, justice will be restored.
Hearing such an arrangement, Liao Zhong was dumbfounded. At first, the official brought him, he already vaguely felt bad, he had never seen this man named Zhang Hong, and he had not prescribed any medicine on the day of the Shangyuan Festival, and now he was suddenly told to the government office, and naturally he was unexpectedly panicked. And now this old man is going to search his home, and if there is no physical evidence, he will search it, this old man is obviously favoritism!
What's even worse is that he knows that this eldest man's surname is Chu, and he is the current queen, that is, the brother of the side concubine in the Hengwang Mansion in the past, and he knows that he has helped Xu Jinhe do many evil things in the past, and even almost harmed others...... Liao Zhong prayed in his heart with great devotion that they didn't find anything, they deliberately wanted to find trouble for themselves, and they didn't find out any evidence, otherwise, he would definitely die without a place to be buried.
However, what had been planned for a long time, how could Chu Jian let it go easily? Seeing that he is going to perform his duties in the Ministry of Officials next month, once he leaves Jingzhao Mansion, the small cases on the ground in the capital will not be under his control, and it will be even more difficult to find this person again, so this time, he must be asked to spit out something useful.
~~
Yufu Palace.
At dusk, the emperor and queen were having dinner, and in the hazy darkness outside the hall, Zhou Yu hurried over.
originally wanted to be passed on, but when he heard that there was a meal inside, Zhou Yu had no choice but to give up. No matter how urgent the matter is, he has to wait for the masters to finish their meals, so he suppressed his worries and waited quietly outside the hall.
Two quarters of an hour later, the emperor and queen got up from the table, and Fugui hurriedly stepped forward to deliver a message, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Chief Zhou is asking to see you outside, saying that there is something important." ”
A few days ago, Chu Xue had an estimate in her heart, but Song Chen didn't know anything, so she only said lightly: "Call him in." ”
"Yes." Fugui retreated, and after a while, the person in the hall who bowed down was replaced by Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu cautiously glanced at the king who was still in a good mood, and didn't dare to imagine whether the object in his hand would cause anger, so he sank his breath and said: "Your Majesty, Niangniang, Lord Yin Chu of Jingzhao Mansion came to report, saying that he received a civil case earlier today, and after verification, it was found that the defendant's name was forged, and his real identity was Liao Zhong, the former doctor of Hengwang Mansion. ”
At this point, the king suddenly looked up at him, as if interested. Chu Xue was calm, quietly waiting for his next news, after all, things had dragged on for too long, and it was time for a result.
Zhou Yu continued: "It turned out that this doctor changed his identity and name after leaving the palace, and opened a pharmacy in the capital to continue practicing medicine. After this inspection, the matter has come to light, but who knows, who knows, in this Liao Zhong's house, found an important thing. Zhou Yu said that he handed over the medical certificate that had been stored in his arms, and said: "This is a medical certificate of the masters when they were in the palace in the past, but it is very different from the one that was handed over to the Tai Hospital. ”
Chu Xue's eyebrows jumped slightly, made a puzzled look, and asked, "What do you mean by this?" What's the mystery of this medical book? ”
And Song Chen, who was beside him, had gradually raised his eyebrows.
Zhou Yu further said: "The slave has already asked the Tai Hospital to see it, and Liao Zhong himself has confessed that what is recorded here is that in the past, under the instruction of the Xu family, he used poison. The poison prescription assassinated several masters and the eldest princess......"
Chu Xue was shocked, "What did you say?" Song Chen said coldly, "Go on." ”
"Yes." The head of the person standing down was lower, and he said: "Among them, when Concubine Rong was pregnant with the third prince at the beginning, Xu secretly instructed Liao Zhong to add sleep san to his fetal pills, that is, the kind of poison that the queen mother later had when she was pregnant with the second princess, which caused Rong Guifei Niangniang to have a difficult birth and blood collapse, and moreover, it was to delay the symptoms with drugs, so that the blood deficiency that could be recovered in two months was delayed to half a year. The concubine Niangniang later gave birth to the eldest princess, who was weak when she was young, which was also related to Xu's instructions behind her back. And ......"
"What else?"
Zhou Yu's voice was suddenly interrupted by the angry king's loud voice, and everyone in the palace was shocked.
Song Chen said angrily: "What else, what else has she done?" ”
Zhou Yu's head lowered deeper, and he couldn't stop the cold sweat frequently, "Also, it is the former concubine Xia, who has not had children for three years after entering the house, and it is also related to the Xu family." ”
"Go to the cold palace immediately, torture me, and ask me clearly, what else has this woman done!"
Song Chen's full anger was like thunder, resounding through the dome.
That woman, the wife he once respected and valued, she actually did such a thing, I thought she was just jealous of her pet for Xue'er, but she had already started it when Jiaoyun first entered the mansion, and Ning Ning, the daughter he loved so much, she could actually let people harm her little body with medicine, Xu Jinhe was so vicious!
"Your Majesty is angry, and the slave will go." Zhou Yu immediately retreated.
The palace people lay on the ground, and Chu Xue also had a shocked expression.
Sure enough, what she guessed was not wrong, Xu Jinhe really didn't let anyone go. She frowned and cried to Song Chen: "I thought she was just jealous of her concubines, but Sister Yun, and Ning Ning, what is in her way?" And Qi'er, if Sister Yun had any accident at that time, wouldn't it be one corpse and two lives? ”
Song Chen frowned tightly, his face was extremely bad, but fortunately he was sober and didn't get angry again, because he knew that the one who was with him now was the most innocent, and the real culprit, he didn't want to see him again.
~~
The sound of hurried footsteps pierced the long night of the cold palace, and several eunuchs came to the former queen Xu Jinhe.
In fact, there is only one Lilac left around her, and the rest were all killed by the rod as early as the day after the abolition, so the only person who can be tortured by the inner court supervisor is Lilac, who has been with her in the cold palace for ten months.
Regret it?
If someone asks her, she will definitely say no, if she has a chance to do it again, she will definitely kill that cheap woman early, and she will never give her a chance to be favored and have children, or even frame herself.
However, there was no possibility or opportunity, and the eunuch who came did not even say a word before he wanted to take the cloves away. Frightened, she screamed, "What are you going to do? ”
However, the eunuchs who came by order ignored her at all, only smiled at her irritable and cold mockery, and forcibly escorted Lilac away. She cursed and reprimanded hoarsely, and Lilac cried for help, but she couldn't stop anything at all, the things that should come, the retribution that should come.
More than an hour later, Zhou Yu rushed back to Yufu Palace with a fresh confession.
Maybe he saw Qiu Gui's fate with his own eyes, or maybe he knew that there was no way out, and he just wanted to die happily, Lilac didn't let the inner court prison work hard, and as soon as he entered the torture room, he made all the moves. So Song Chen knew a lot of things at this time.
For example, when Xue'er first arrived in Yanzhou, she was sent sterilization soup; For example, the fire in the Sheng'an Temple in the past was actually arranged by Xu Jinhe, and then instigated Xia Wanyin's hand; For example, Xue'er's sleep before giving birth is the same as her assassination of Jiaoyun in the past, and for another example, he finally knows clearly how Xu Jinhe planned step by step in order to get rid of Xue'er and the child in her womb.
When Zhou Yu finished reporting one by one, Song Chen unexpectedly calmed down, because he was angry and more self-deprecating.
Self-deprecation: I see the wrong person. He originally thought that Xu Jinhe was jealous and hateful, and he became bad step by step, but today he realized that this woman was born like this.
Yes, her father and brother are known for their violence on the battlefield, how good can she be?
It's really a waste of herself, she has been with such a femme fatale woman for so many years, and her children have been in vain, calling her mother and queen mother for so many years.
In the end, it is good to be calm, Song Chen did not forget another important matter, and instructed Liangxi, "Inform the Criminal Department tomorrow, a living person can easily change his identity in the capital, see who made a mistake, and be sure to track it down to the end." ”
Liangxi bowed to be.
The hall was silent for a long time, and faintly, he heard Chu Xue's sobs.
Sensing that he looked over and perceiving his self-blame, she only said: "Your Majesty ......" tears fell.
Needless to say, there's no reason to keep that woman alive in this world, right? Although nowadays, letting her die is just an easy thing to do.
But if you don't die, how can you vent this hatred?
Xu Jinhe, the deposed queen in the cold palace, did not wait for the day when her son ascended the throne and saw the light of day again.
She couldn't even see the dawn of the second day. When Xing Feng came to her with a few guards carrying poisonous wine, perhaps she had expected such an ending in her heart, she didn't curse excitedly, but couldn't help laughing, the piercing laughter cut through the usual dead silence of the cold palace, making the eunuchs waiting outside the door to collect her body frown.
She said, "You want me to die? He's really ruthless! If he dares to kill me, isn't he afraid that his two sons will turn against him in the future? ”
Xing Feng was more patient than the eunuchs in the end, and he coldly persuaded the former master mother, "Niangniang, you are serious, the crown prince and the second prince are both sensible people, you deserve it today, how can the two of them hate the emperor because of your own mistakes?" ”
"You deserve it?" Xu Jinhe squinted at him, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, and immediately took his words, saying: "Okay, good, even if I deserve it, I will admit it, anyway, if today, no one can disobey him...... After all, I have a husband and wife with him, and at this point, I still have something to say to him, can you help me bring it? ”
She knew that since it was Xing Feng who came instead of the eunuchs, this matter had a chance of success, if the eunuchs listened to her, they might think she was crazy, but Xing Feng was different, he was Song Chen's loyal guard, and he would definitely spread her words.
Sure enough, although Xing Feng was still expressionless, he gave her a positive answer, Xing Feng said, "You can say." ”
But she smiled weirdly," 166 Reading.com
