When Fan Chengda heard this, he knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, "My lord, although the little one is in charge of this pharmacy, he is not responsible for checking the medicines, but only the daily expenses, and the management of the palace people is still under the control of the villain." If you want to talk about this drug management, it should be Zhu Shun's business, he is in charge of the entry and exit of drugs, and he is the only one who knows it, but this person is gone, and the villain only hides this article and does not report it, begging the adult to spare his life! ”

Zuo Tianqi said: "The emperor is kind and virtuous, and he raised a group of you to eat things inside and outside?" Such a major matter, if we hadn't asked each other, we would have concealed it, and a person who was born was gone, and you didn't ask or look for it, let alone report it, and if you wanted to ask you for concealing it or not reporting it, it was okay to deceive the king. ”

Fan Chengda's face turned blue with fright, and he kowtowed again: "My lord, the villain knows that he is wrong, please forgive me." It was only because Zhu Shun was missing, he couldn't find anyone, and he lost Ganoderma lucidum before he reported Da Changqiu. The villain asked, but he didn't see his figure, and he searched several times in this palace, but he couldn't find it, these Da Changqiu all know! ”

Zuo Tianqi glanced at Zheng Zhong, saw that his face had recovered, and waited for him to speak, Zheng Zhong was thinking about what was strange about this matter, and when he saw him looking at himself, he said: "Indeed, I already know about this report, and I gave it to the Queen Mother, but it's just weird, it's weird, it's a big living person, why is the body gone?" ”

Zuo Tianqi looked at Fan Chengda and asked, "Let me ask me, what is the relationship between Zhu Shun and Li Peng?" ”

"This adult, don't wronged the villain, I really don't know about this, Du Chang, since you know, do you know the relationship between the two?"

Du Cheng shook his head, "I've only heard of this Li Peng's name, and I haven't seen it, and I don't know what Zhu Shun has to do with him, adults are guessing here." It's better to find that Li Peng and ask if you can't find out. I look at Zhu Shun, eighty percent of them were killed by someone, and no one saw such a valuable medicine lost in the palace? I didn't believe it when I was killed, so I asked Li Badong, who was on duty, and he followed him every day. I can not show it at all. Don't know at all? Don't be afraid of other people's backstage hardness, don't dare to move! ”

Du Cheng's words were unconvinced, which made Zuo Tianqi's heart move. He knew what was going on, and Zheng Zhong must know better than himself, so he stopped talking and stared at Zheng Zhong. See what to do with him? I spent the morning in a cold room freezing for a long time. The most important part of his pharmacy has not even moved, saying that there is nothing in it, and he doesn't believe it. In that case, just wait and see!

Zheng Zhong sighed: "I don't like to hear you say this, you want to talk about things in the palace." A master on the left, another concubine. The emperor on the left, another queen mother, ministers and royals, which one has no idea, can live in this? When I first arrived here this morning, I was looking for one thing left and one thing left, and I really couldn't get out of it. In this way, since Lord Zuo has found out to this extent, it can be regarded as an errand, so he stayed in the pharmacy with me, called all the people over, and simply asked one by one in this courtyard. Lord Zuo is right, the medicine was lost in your pharmacy, and it is not an exaggeration to say that you are guarding and stealing from yourself, all of them have a guilty word, what kind of situation do you talk about? Fan Chengda, you don't have to pretend to be a good person there, go and find me all the people, one is not less, and one less will ask for an order, and get your head down. ”

"Whoa!" Fan Chengda's fat and round body rolled in like a ball, and after a while, the footsteps were chaotic, and people trotted out of the inner courtyard, and came to check one Zuo Tianqi, counting Fan Chengda, exactly forty-four.

Zheng Zhong felt a little cold, so he put on a cloak and walked back and forth in the courtyard, and when he saw that everyone had arrived, he said: "Fan Chengda, you divide people according to their duties, who cares which stall, separate, I want to ask." Fan Chengda also learned to be well-behaved this time, and divided the people into seven or eight equal dials, those who received medicine, those who entered the warehouse, those who left the warehouse, those who dried, those who grinded medicine, those who collected medicine residue, and those who waited for the imperial doctor to go to the clinic, all of which were clearly distinguished. Zheng Zhong was very satisfied, so he focused on the people who received the medicine, entered and exited the warehouse, and asked, "How many Ganoderma lucidum did you receive at that time?" ”

"Back in Da Changqiu, the villain went out to collect medicine at that time, and Lingzhi collected a total of thirty-three catties, six taels and nine yuan, all of which are well documented." A clerical eunuch replied.

"Okay, did you put the medicine in the warehouse?" Zheng Zhong asked again.

"All of them are stored and divided into two parts, one part is in good condition, which is used by the emperor and the queen mother and the concubines in the palace, and the other part is used by the eunuchs in the palace, the palace order, and the general manager."

"Do you register after you enter the warehouse?" Zheng Zhong asked the eunuch who was in charge of warehousing.

"Back to Da Changqiu, you must register!"

"Okay, then it's time to leave the warehouse, are you the one who left the warehouse?" Zheng Zhong asked, staring at a tall, thin man with a pointed chin.

"Yes, back to Da Changqiu, the minister is a eunuch who is out of the warehouse, and he was originally a follower eunuch, and after Zhu Shun disappeared, I have been managing this stall on his behalf."

"You're Li Badong? Since you followed Zhu Shun before, don't you know the whereabouts of this Lingzhi? Zuo Tianqi walked up to him and asked.

"The villain followed Zhu Shun before, but he never lost the Ganoderma lucidum, adults also think about it, so a large number of Lingzhi is gone, it is impossible for the treasurer not to know, there must be a record of leaving the warehouse, Zhu Shun and everyone are hot, no one thought that anything would happen to him!"

"Just this person, take it to the bus Sima Department and be strictly interrogated!" Zheng Zhong pointed to Li Badong and said.

"My lord, I'm Yuan Meiren's family, you can't arrest me." Li Badong's eyes widened, but he was very confident.

"Hmph, don't forget, we are on the order to handle the case, and as long as anyone's family is involved, they can't escape it. That Yin nobleman's nurse is taller than you, it's not the same death, you still have to be honest, otherwise no one can protect you. Zheng Zhongli ignored him and let his Huangmen officials take him away.

"Think about it again, before and after this incident, is there anything unusual, report it truthfully, I know, the case is solved, it is a great achievement, it can't be solved, I Zheng Zhong has an accident, and none of you can escape from it. Alright, that's all for today! Mr. Zuo, let's take a look at the records archived in the library! After Zheng Zhong finished speaking, he took Zuo Tianqi and walked towards the medicine store.

The two of them watched it for a whole afternoon, and they didn't see any records of Ganoderma lucidum out of the warehouse, so even if they were taken out privately, someone had to see or know about it, why didn't anyone report it? Just wondering, I saw Sun Jue come back with a few small yellow doors, and as soon as he entered the door, he sat down angrily and said, "I'm angry." That Li Badong, before he could ask, the person was so angry that the doctor went to see it and said that he had taken poison, but we had seen it very strictly along the way, and we didn't know how he took the poison. It seems that this clue has broken again. ”

Zuo Tianqi said: "I don't think it's broken." Since he is Yuan Meiren's person, does he have anything to do with Yuan Meiren, is it their ghost? ”

Zheng Zhong shook his head. "There is no need for Yuan Meiren to participate in it, their sisters are also very favored now, there is no need to find this trouble for themselves, but it is unknown whether the Queen Mother will give it."

"What now? That's right. There is also a Li Peng, isn't it said that he is a miscellaneous servant of the Tai Hospital? Do you want to check it out? ”

Zheng Zhong looked at Sun Jue, who was sulking beside him, and said, "You go." Take that man to the gates of the palaces and let the soldiers guarding the gates recognize whether it is him or not! ”

"Whoa!" Sun Jue took a few small yellow doors and disappeared like a gust of wind.

Zheng Zhongdao: "It seems that it is really difficult to pick up the clues here and again!" ”

Seeing that the oil seemed to run out, both of them hung their heads. Sullen and waiting for news. Zuo Tianqi's eyes were sharp, and he suddenly saw a figure flashing, and he rushed to the door in three or two steps. Seeing that it was a little yellow door sneakily peeking at the door, he pulled in and said, "Do you have anything to say to us?" ”

The little yellow door glanced at Zheng Zhong. whispered: "I shouldn't have said this, there is a problem with the medicine in the pharmacy." ”

"What? What do you mean by that? Zheng Zhong asked.

"Da Changqiu, the people in the bureau stole the medicine and went out to sell it, it was not a day or two, just change some cheap ones to come back to the top, saying that it was medicine for the emperor and the queen mother, in fact, there are not many good ones, good and bad together, the imperial doctor frowned, and he wouldn't say anything. As long as the medicine is right, nothing will happen. That Li Badong has always teamed up with Zhu Shun to do it, as for where it was sold, the adults went to the West Market to ask, and there were people who received medicine from the palace. Now that this thing has been done big, it has leaked out, Zhu Shun must have thrown himself into the well, and in the palace courtyard where there is no one in the West Palace, there are dry wells, and I don't want to live anymore, so I just find a bite to jump. I'm just a layman, everyone has some sweetness on weekdays, but I don't have it, but the things inside are very clear. ”

"Are you sure it's sold to the West Market? Have nothing to do with the masters in the palace? Zuo Tianqi asked.

"It's hard to say this, Zhu Shun was a slave of the Queen Mother in her early years, who doesn't know? I don't know why I went to the pharmacy. The Queen Mother's family has lost power, there is no income, and it is not impossible to find someone to steal medicine and sell it, but now there is no proof of death, I am not saying this for myself, Da Changqiu, if you always have a heart, you will transfer me out of this black nest, and I will live cleanly. ”

Zheng Zhong nodded, and said to Zuo Tianqi: "Lord Zuo, this matter outside the palace, you and Guangluxun will go and check it, I will let people look in the palace, dry wells, caves and the like, this kid is right, maybe people are inside!" ”

The Yuan sisters came to Liu Zhao in a hurry, and saw that he was very tired, his eyes were dark, his face was pale with gray and blue, and his cheekbones were flushed. Wearing only an azure river silk mink robe, with a yellow crepe belt around his waist, and a piece of white jade with him, he leaned lazily on the big pillow half-leaning, and his voice was lazy and gentle, "Why are your sisters here?" I haven't slept well these days, the emperor is sick, and she has been with Song Cainu, she has also stayed up so much that she has lost her energy, her body was originally thin, and now she is also blown down by the wind. You guys are in good spirits, sit down, if you have something to say, I'm not in a good mood. ”

The Yuan sisters glanced at each other, and Yuan Xiang said: "Back to the emperor, it's nothing, since the prince is sick, the emperor is upset, and our sisters don't bother the emperor about this trivial matter." ”

"Oh? Bagatelle? Small things are also things, I just want to sleep for a while, since you are here, just talk about it, and you should relieve your boredom, let's talk! ”

Yuan Yi said: "Your Majesty, our family sent a slave in and became a eunuch, I was afraid that our sisters would be lonely in the palace, so they could find a companion to come in, but they were killed by Da Changqiu." ”

Liu Zhao sat up straight and said, "Nonsense, Da Changqiu is fair, loyal to me, and has no two hearts, why are you talking such nonsense?" (To be continued)
