Chapter 52: The Back Road (Second Watch, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
As soon as Yao Yanyu's voice fell, someone handed over the student's file: Wu Xiuyuan, the daughter of Wu Dong of Taifu Temple, fifteen years old, five feet three inches tall, flat appearance, medium posture.
After reading this simple file, Yao Yanyu handed it to Wei Zhang. Wei Zhang glanced at it, and then handed it to Su Yu'an beside him.
Yao Yanyu turned her head and asked Cui Ping: "How does this Wu Xiuyuan perform on weekdays?" ”
"Usually, she rarely speaks, her grades are average, and people rarely notice her." Cui Ping frowned.
A sneer curled at the corner of Yao Yanyu's lips, the one who knows how to hide is the master. It seems that this Wu Xiuyuan is unusual.
The crowd fell silent for a moment with this smile.
After a while, the people who sent Lu rushed back, bringing back Wu Dong, but not his daughter Wu Xiuyuan.
Taifu Temple is in charge of the emperor's horses and horse politics, Wu Dong was originally a doctor of veterinary medicine in Taifu Temple, and the year before last, he was promoted to Sicheng because he cured a horse that was paid tribute to Dashi.
Wei Zhang glanced at Wu Dong, who was weak in fright, waved his hand at Su Yu'an, and motioned for him to take him aside for interrogation. Su Yu'an beckoned a few of his subordinates to take people aside, and almost without any means, Wu Dong recruited them all.
It turned out that Wu Xiuyuan was not Wu Dong's biological daughter, but a refugee girl he rescued when the Jinhe River burst a few years ago. At that time, I felt that this girl's hungry face and yellow muscles were really pitiful, so I rescued her. Later, when he saw that she was gentle and obedient, and that he himself was desolate on his knees, and that he had a son in his early years, and later drowned, he took this girl as a righteous daughter.
Later, he found that this righteous daughter was interested in medical books, and often took some medical books back to his study to read, so he felt that this daughter recognized it very well, and the father and daughter often discussed medical Taoism. The year before last, he rescued the tribute horse because he had heard a lot of opinions from this woman. So later, Wu Dong spent a lot of money to send Wu Xiuyuan to study in the Chinese Medical Center.
As for what Wu Xiuyuan's surname was before, Wu Dong also asked many times, she just cried at first, and then asked again and didn't eat for a day. Wu Dong's wife didn't allow him to ask any more.
When Su Yu'an heard this, he felt that this Wu Xiuyuan was very suspicious, and asked her where she was, Wu Dong cried angrily: He sent his daughter to study in the Chinese Medicine Museum, but now she is missing for no reason, and he still wants to sue the Chinese Medicine Museum for hiding people!
Sue the Chinese Medical Center for hiding the population? What a big joke. Su Yu'an sneered and ignored him, and directly handed over his confession to Wei Zhang.
Wei Zhang looked at the confession and frowned: "The refugees of the year when the Jinhe River burst its banks? ”
Yao Yanyu was also stunned when she heard this, a little girl who knew medical skills happened to be a refugee that year......
Since he understands medical skills, he can't be a child of an ordinary family. A girl's family fled to Kyoto from the Kanagawa disaster area? If others may believe that Yao Yanyu has seen the tragic situation in the disaster area with her own eyes, let alone a little girl, even if she is a strong young man, I am afraid that she will not be able to escape without help.
And, by that coincidence? The fleeing girl who knows medical skills just happened to meet the veterinarian doctor of Taifu Temple?
"When exactly did this Wu Dong recognize the righteous girl?" Yao Yanyu turned her head and asked Su Yu'an.
"It was in the spring of the second year after the Golden River burst."
"The next spring?" Wei Zhang frowned, at that time, the victims had already been resettled, and the village that had been washed away by the flood had also begun to be built. The imperial court's disaster relief was very good that year, and of course, no one dared to say that all the refugees were resettled that year. It's just that it all came together too coincidentally.
Yao Yanyu slowly closed her eyes and whispered two words: "Bo family." ”
Wei Zhang's heart was shocked.
That year, Yao Yanyu discovered the poisonous foal grass, which suppressed the spread of the plague in time, causing the Bo family, who were hoarding medicinal materials, to lose a lot of money. After that, the Bo family secretly poisoned Yao Yanyu, but to no avail. Wei Zhang and Yao Yanyi teamed up to find out that the Bo family used counterfeit defective products to make huge profits, and then skillfully used the trick of transferring flowers and trees to get the fake chaihu into the palace, and the most Lu was later discovered by Zhang Cangbei and reported directly to the emperor. The Bo family was raided, all the pharmacies in the north and south of the country were seized, and the Bo family was imprisoned.
At that time, this major case also involved the ministers of the DPRK and China, which can be described as a monstrous case.
However, in an instant, Wei Zhang's heart went through the events of that year, and then instructed Su Yu'an without hesitation: "Spare no effort to find out this Wu Xiuyuan." It is very likely that she was a criminal minister, and the purpose of infiltrating the Chinese Medical Hall was to murder the emperor and avenge her family. So she must not be allowed to go unpunished. ”
"Understood." Su Yu'an gave up his hand to take the order, turned around and went out to arrange.
At this time, the sky was already bright, Yao Yanyu looked at the dark blue sky outside, sighed softly, and said, "I don't know what happened to Emperor Lu Dao." ”
"Arrange this place and return to the palace immediately." Wei Zhang naturally knew that the emperor's safety was the most important thing at this time, anyway, the matter of Qingxin Pill was already in sight, as long as Wu Xiuyuan was caught, the matter would be clear.
Yao Yanyu added: "Don't be too careless." From today until the matter is settled, everything in the Chinese Medicine Hall is not allowed to move, and all people are not allowed to go out. ”
Cui Ping immediately bowed down and agreed.
Wei Zhang turned his head to look at the deputy lieutenant beside him, and the deputy general of the Fierce Eagle Guard bowed down and replied, "My subordinates understand. ”
After arranging the affairs of the Chinese Medical Pavilion, Wei Zhang helped Yao Yanyu to prepare to go back to the palace to see the emperor, Su Yuan hurriedly came in from outside, and replied: "Go back to the Hou Ye, there is a new discovery." ”
"What?" Wei Zhang asked hurriedly.
"This was found in Wu Xiuyuan's room, and the things fell under the corner of her bed, so I should have left in a hurry and didn't have time to clean up." Su Yu'an said and dodged sideways, and there was a Jinlin guard behind him who held a command tape and handed it over.
Yao Yanyu saw at a glance that the ribbon was really exquisite, but the silver logo embroidered on the thumb moon-white satin ribbon was delicate and delicate, the lines were sinuous and twisted, like auspicious clouds, and the strokes were delicately combined into a seal 'thin' character. This is exactly the mark of the Bo family, and the lanterns and banners at the entrance of each pharmacy of the Bo family were embroidered with this mark.
"Sure enough, it's something from the Bo family." Yao Yanyu said softly.
Wei Zhang nodded, and said to Su Yu'an: "Seal this thing together with those medicine residues, and in addition, ask someone to quickly check the whereabouts of that woman." ”
"Yes." Su Yu'an replied. Although finding a woman in the vast sea of people is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, no one dares to say much about such a great crime of murdering the emperor. I can only do it with all my might.
Wei Zhang and Yao Yanyu left the Chinese Medical Pavilion to make a carriage and returned to the palace. The emperor is still asleep, and several auxiliary ministers in the Chonghua Palace have already arrived. Everyone came to greet the emperor, but Wynne only said that the emperor slept unsteadily last night and was still sleeping this morning.
It is common for several ministers to have an unstable sleep, especially after the palace change, the emperor has hardly slept peacefully. Several auxiliary ministers didn't say much when they heard this, but bowed down to the dormitory to say goodbye, and then went back to the Chonghua Hall to deal with government affairs.
Yao Yanyu was waiting in the side hall of Zichen Palace, while Wei Zhang and Huang Song discussed how to deal with this matter in another place.
Huang Song is the emperor's confidant and is only loyal to the emperor. He meant to wait until the emperor woke up.
Wei Zhang said that this matter is related to the safety of the world, and it must be known to several auxiliary ministers, as well as the royal family relatives such as Prince Cheng, Prince Yan and Duke Zhenguo.
Huang Song knew that Wei Zhang was also loyal to the emperor, but Wei Zhang was a military general from the Zhenguo Mansion, so he was naturally close to the Zhenguo Mansion. This makes him partisan.
Although the eldest princess Ning Hua and the prince of Zhen Guo are also loyal to the emperor, he is only a relative of the country after all, and Huang Song has always been respectful of the emperor's relatives and relatives, and has never had personal friends. And Wei Zhang has this relationship, and he seems to be a little farther away than Huang Song in front of the emperor.
So when Wei Zhang proposed to invite King Cheng, King Yan, and Zhenguo Gong to enter the palace at this moment to inform the emperor of his physical condition, Huang Song immediately stared at Wei Zhang coldly, and asked in a deep voice: "Isn't the governor of the capital having no confidence in the emperor's well-being?" Or is it entrusted by whom to visit the emperor's mind at such a time, and have no other plans? ”
"Conspiracy? What does Huang Duwei think Wei has planned? Wei Zhang asked indifferently, "Or, do you also think that Prince Cheng and Zhenguo Gong are rebels?" ”
Huang Song was silent. He naturally understands the loyalty of Prince Cheng and Duke Zhenguo to the emperor. has been by the emperor's side for so long, even if he is a wood, he should be able to see clearly how deep the emperor's feelings are for this brother-in-law and brother.
After the palace change, the emperor avoided the clansmen, and on the bright side, the royal clansmen were suspected by the emperor, and the power was lost, which can be described as precarious.
But everyone knows that this is only temporary, the emperor is seriously ill, no matter which prince succeeds to the throne, the two of Zhenguo Gong and Cheng Wang Ye will be important ministers to protect the country.
Those auxiliary ministers only have the power to govern the country, and they are naturally not a problem to deal with large and small government affairs, but in terms of authority, those few people together are not as good as one-tenth of the two of King Cheng and Zhen Guogong.
Prince Cheng has been an assistant for more than 30 years, and the prince of Zhenguo has been in charge of the army for more than 30 years.
It would be easy for the two of them to rebel.
Now that the emperor is so sick that he can hardly manage the government. And the affairs of the imperial court are still going on in an orderly manner, and the Chonghua Hall is as busy as it should be, and there is no delay in any big or small matters. On what basis? Isn't it that the two big mountain towns of King Cheng's Mansion and Zhenguo Mansion are here, and Wei Zhang's sharp sword kills and slashes in the west, shocking those young people?
Seeing that Huang Song was silent, Wei Zhang asked indifferently: "Huang Duwei, since the words have already been said here, then I will ask you one more question: Where will Huang Duwei go?" ”
"You!" Huang Song was angry, "The emperor trusts you very much, and his kindness is like a mountain, you are actually!" ”
"Husband, you dare to swear to the sky that you didn't think about it?" Wei Zhang glanced at Huang Song with disdain.
Huang Song's momentum immediately weakened. He's not a fool, how could he not have thought about it? A guard like him, once the emperor returns to heaven and the new emperor ascends the throne, he will be a fish on the chopping board, and he can only be slaughtered. No new emperor would reuse the guards around the first emperor, this is a clear thing.
But what can be done about it? He is just a dead soldier raised by the emperor. They seem to have unlimited scenery, but in fact they have no power.
Their guards around the emperor are different from other Jinlinwei, they are all orphans, although they have married wives and children over the years after following the emperor, but the women they marry are also women from welfare homes, isolated from the dynasty and the middle of the world, and have their own faction.
When the emperor is there, they are fierce and fierce, and once the emperor trends, they will be a tiger in Pingyang.
Huang Song didn't speak, and Wei Zhang didn't hurry to speak, just drank tea silently with a tea cup. Suddenly, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside, Huang Song frowned suddenly, but Wei Zhang did not move.
"Ning Hou, Huang Duwei, the emperor has woken up and wants to see the two." The little eunuch pushed the door in three ways.
Wei Zhang put down the teacup, got up and said, "Huang Duwei, let's go." ”
Huang Song hurriedly packed up his mind and kept up with Wei Zhang's footsteps. The two entered the main hall one after the other.
Yao Yanyu had already checked the emperor's pulse, and Zhang Jiechen and another imperial doctor were also there, because what happened last night was not allowed to go out, so the two of them were forbidden to leave the palace.
The emperor's spirit was much better than yesterday, and he was leaning on the couch at this time and being fed health porridge by Huai'en. Wei Zhang and Huang Song didn't dare to speak when they came in, and stood aside quietly, waiting for the emperor to stop eating before they came forward to bow down and say goodbye.
Yao Yanyu and the other two imperial doctors quit the court.
The emperor glanced at Huai En again, and Huai En waved his hand at several eunuchs and palace maids, and everyone retreated.
The emperor had already heard about what happened last night from Huai En and Yao Yanyu, and at this time, seeing Wei Zhang and Huang Song, he just wanted to ask the two of them when they would be able to catch the absconding medical female student.
Wei Zhang said that he had been strictly ordered to go down to the secret search, and Jinlinwei dispatched 5,000 people, and there would be news soon.
After hearing this, the emperor only sighed faintly and changed the topic: "What is the change in the court?" ”
Wei Zhang hurriedly replied: "Last night's incident, the minister has ordered the news to be blocked, without the emperor's holy decree, people outside will not know about this matter." ”
The emperor looked at Huang Song again, and Huang Song hurriedly said: "The emperor can rest assured, all the people in Zichen Palace are under control, and there is not a trace of wind released." Today, several auxiliary ministers in the Chonghua Hall discussed this year's annual tribute and the distribution of officials at all levels in the court. ”
The emperor nodded slowly, and after being silent for a long time, Fang said in a low voice: "Wei Zhang, pass on my secret decree, and announce that the sixth prince will return to Beijing." ”
"Yes." Wei Zhang bowed down to receive the order.
Huang Song suddenly turned his head and glanced at Wei Zhang, Wei Zhang's face was calm and waveless, and he didn't see the slightest emotion.
This person is deeply hidden! Huang Song sighed silently, what is his future?
After saying these words, the emperor was tired again, leaning on the pillow and falling asleep.
With the first rays of dawn in the morning, the gate of Yundu City slowly opened. Several fast horses rushed out of the city gate like a gallop, carrying a holy oracle to the coast of Jiangsu and Zhejiang at an expedited speed of 800 miles.
Three days later, Su Yu'an's men found Wu Xiuyuan, who had escaped, at the home of a greenhouse flower farmer in the eastern suburbs of the city, brought the person back to the capital, and handed him over to the Zhenfu Division.
