Chapter 67: Suspicion

Someone helped Zhong Ziyuan naturally would not object, and after she instructed the jailer on the correct movements, she touched Brother Zhuang'er's chest and began to press down rhythmically. He didn't forget to order: "You guys, quickly rub his hands and feet so that the blood in his body can flow." ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, they had never seen such a way to save people. And Duan Ling had already judged that he was dead. What's the point of doing this since it's a dead man?

"Hey! What are you doing standing there stupidly? Didn't you hear what Dr. Jia said? Duan Ling roared, he held the mentality of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and took the lead in grabbing Brother Zhuang'er's hands and feet and kneading them. When the others saw that he had started to do something, they had to come forward one by one to help.

However, after blowing like this and tossing and turning for a while, there is still no effect. Someone muttered dissatisfiedly: "This person is dead, why are you still tossing like this?" "Especially the mouth-to-mouth blowing, he was already sweating profusely, and he was about to breathe with his mouth open as if he was about to die.

Zhong Ziyuan frowned, a trace of despair flashed in his heart, could it really not be saved? She gritted her teeth and took out a handful of silver needles from her sleeve pocket, and then pierced Brother Zhuang'er's ten fingers in turn, until the bright red blood slowly flowed out of the needle. She pulled out the silver needle and pierced it into Brother Zhuang'er's middle place, and a red, ruby-like drop of blood immediately came out.

Zhong Ziyuan shouted in surprise: "His blood is still flowing, he is not dead yet, come on, everyone!" As soon as she called like this, everyone worked harder and harder. Their faces were dripping with sweat.

"Ahem. cough, cough" After a long time, Brother Zhuang, who was originally in a state of suspended animation, choked and coughed violently. His body was spasming, almost shrunk into a ball, and he looked in pain, but he was alive anyway.

Zhong Ziyuan wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, and whispered in surprise: "Brother Zhuang, Brother Zhuang, can you hear me?" In her voice after voice. In the tireless call, Brother Zhuang finally stopped his heart-rending coughing and gasped. Hoarse whispered, "Doctor Jia, why are you here?" ”

Zhong Ziyuan replied in a low voice: "Your case has been transferred to the Criminal Department, and I am here to take you to the Criminal Department." Seeing that he was able to answer his question clearly, Zhong Ziyuan's heart was finally put back in his stomach.

Duan Ling didn't expect Zhong Ziyuan to really be able to pull back this person who had already stepped into the Hades Palace. In addition to feeling a huge shock in his heart. admiration for her also arises spontaneously.

Seeing that Brother Zhuang was out of danger, Zhong Ziyuan also secretly screamed that it was dangerous, if his group came one step late, he would have to collect Brother Zhuang'er's body. Thinking of this, she shuddered, so she said to Duan Ling: "Brother Zhuang's body is quite seriously injured, let's get out of here quickly!" ”

Duan Ling's heart moved, and he immediately ordered: "Go find a stretcher." Let's carry him away. ”

"Yes." Immediately, a jailer brought in a stretcher for carrying corpses. Duan Ling didn't dislike it either, and moved the weak Brother Zhuang up. The officials shouted, lifted up, and left.

Brother Zhuang was already desperate in his heart, he thought that he was going to die this time, but he didn't expect that this thin little doctor Jia would lead someone down from the sky to save him. He felt like he was in a dream.

Lying on the stretcher, he still asked uneasily, "Doctor Jia, why did you come in?" Didn't that dog officer want to kill me? Why will you let me go? ”

Zhong Ziyuan walked beside him, only smiled faintly, and said, "We checked Lan'er's body overnight and found that there are many suspicious points. I listed them one by one and handed them over to Guo Shilang of the Criminal Department, so he promised to help you overturn the case. ”

"Guo Shilang of the Criminal Department?" Brother Zhuang muttered to himself, and his originally lifeless eyes finally slowly glowed with bright brilliance: "So, I don't have to die?" ”

When a group of people escorted Brother Zhuang past the door of the torture room, the fat face of the superintendent showed a hint of surprise. There was a vicious light in his little eyes, and after a moment of thought, he beckoned to a jailer, whispered a few words in his ear, and the jailer quietly left the torture chamber.

After leaving the prison, Zhong Ziyuan saw that Brother Zhuang'er's spirit was still extremely sluggish, and there were signs of fainting at any time, she couldn't help but say worriedly: "Brother Duan, the injury on his body is so serious, if he is imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department again, will the injury worsen?" Can you let him go home for a few days first, heal his injuries and then go back to the prison of the Criminal Department? ”

Although Zhong Ziyuan saw that Brother Zhuang was suffocating caused by the fake death, she didn't know why Brother Zhuang was suffocating when he was lying there in a good manner. Although Duan Ling guessed some true thoughts, he had no evidence, so he didn't dare to publicize them in public. So he refused in a deep voice: "I'm afraid this won't work, after all, he hasn't completely cleared his name." You can rest assured, as long as he is in the prison of the Criminal Department, I can take care of him from time to time, and there will be no inexplicable accidents. After a pause, he continued: "Sometimes, the prison of the Criminal Department is much safer than the outside. ”

If Zhong Ziyuan can't hear the deep meaning of his words anymore, he will be a fool. She was shocked, and immediately said gratefully: "In this case, please ask Brother Duan to take care of it." ”

Zhong Ziyuan knew that the prison of the Criminal Department was not a place where she could enter if she wanted to, so she checked Brother Zhuang'er's pulse, and grabbed more than ten pairs of medicines for treating external injuries in the pharmacy on the side of the road, and asked Duan Ling to bring them back together.

After doing this, I saw that the sun had gradually set westward, and it seemed that it was past noon. She raised her hand to wipe the beads of sweat from her forehead, and then she felt like a thunder drum roaring in her belly, so she quickened her pace home.

When I opened the courtyard door, I saw Qingdai wearing a blue cloth apron, a handkerchief wrapped around her head, and a pot of buds and chopped vegetable leaves were feeding the chickens. Thanks to Qingdai, there are now six hens in the yard, and they can lay four or five eggs a day, and they no longer have to argue over who to eat the eggs.

Qing Dai looked up and saw her, and immediately shouted happily, "Childe is back." She put down the basin in her hand and ran to Zhong Ziyuan with a bang.

"I'm back." Zhong Ziyuan casually took two chicken feathers from her head. wiped the beads of sweat that appeared on her forehead again, and said lovingly: "Now that this family is all taken care of by you, it's really hard." ”

"Huh." Qing Dai smiled innocently. said: "It's just some housework, even the firewood is chopped by Fu Bo, and there is no hard work." Wouldn't it be harder for the son to run around every day to earn money to support his family. She suddenly approached Zhong Ziyuan's side and sniffed it, then covered her nose exaggeratedly and said, "Childe, what is the smell on your body?" It stinks. ”

Zhong Ziyuan subconsciously raised his sleeve and sniffed it, and a sour smell really rushed straight to his head. Her little face suddenly turned red. I don't know where Duan Ling found this official clothes, it is estimated that they were picked off from other people's bodies, and they originally smelled of sweat. plus the toss just now to save Brother Zhuang. Doesn't it just stink!

Zhong Ziyuan felt sticky all over, and even her hair seemed to itch, so she immediately ordered: "Get some water, I want to take a bath." ”

"I'm going to boil you bath water." Qing Dai ran into the house with the corner of her skirt. He also shouted, "Cardamom." Hurry up and come out and help. ”

Cardamom was originally rubbing peach blossom beauty pills in the house, and this peach blossom beauty pill was developed by Zhong Ziyuan based on the beauty recipes of the concubines who flowed out of the palace before. She also considered reducing some expensive medicinal herbs, and then replaced them with a few cheap but more effective herbs, so it became the current Peach Blossom Beauty Pill.

Taking one pill a day can change the skin texture and complexion from the inside out, which is much better than the effect of light grease and powder. The price is good, and the effect is remarkable. Nowadays, this Peach Blossom Beauty Pill is all the rage in Fengyue Street, and it is in short supply every day. Originally, Cardamom could also help Qingdai with some household chores. Now that she is free, she can only hide in the house and rub the balls.

Hearing Qing Dai's call, she threw away her hand and ran out: "What's the matter?" ”

"Let's go and help my son boil the bath water." Qing Dai smiled and said, "Otherwise, our son will really become a stinky man." Hearing this, Zhong Ziyuan couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

With their efforts to boil the bath water, Zhong Ziyuan drank two large bowls of mint mung bean porridge, and then ate the salty and fragrant minced meat and tofu, crispy cold lotus root slices, and nibbled on a cornmeal steamed bun, which can be regarded as suppressing the hunger in her stomach.

When he took off the sticky official clothes on his body, took off the white cloth that wrapped his chest, and soaked his whole body in the warm water, Zhong Ziyuan was almost sighing. Cardamom hugged the pile of clothes and went out to wash, while Qingdai rolled up her sleeves, took the boiled soaphorn water, helped her wash her long hair, and then used the loofah to help her scrub herself.

Just when she was soaking in the bathtub and falling asleep comfortably, a cardamom exclaimed from outside: "Guo, Master Guo, why are you here?" ”

Guo Chengsi asked, "What about your son-in-law?" ”

Cardamom hurriedly replied, "Childe is bathing, please wait in the courtyard for a while." ”

Guo Chengsi muttered dissatisfiedly: "What kind of bath do you take in the daytime!" Where is it? I'll go find him. Is it here? ”

"Nope." Cardamom exclaimed and said, "Your Excellency, you can't go in." ”

Guo Chengsi said nonchalantly: "What are you afraid of, they are all big men, can this official still eat him." Get out of the way, the official still has important things to discuss with him. ”

This guy is really domineering, and he is rampage wherever he goes. Zhong Ziyuan let out a "whoosh", with a body of moisture, stood up from the bathtub in a panic, and commanded in a stack: "Qingdai, go and get your clothes, Cardamom is afraid that he can't stop him." ”

Qing Dai hurriedly picked up a piece of white cloth that Zhong Ziyuan used to wrap her chest on weekdays, and Zhong Ziyuan hurriedly said: "No, there is no time, you bring that dark blue cotton shirt." "That middle coat was originally made for Zhong Jinchuan, it was relatively large and not close-fitting, which could just cover her originally slender figure.

"Yes." Qing Dai immediately dropped the white cloth, went to get the middle coat designated by Zhong Ziyuan, and hurriedly put it on for her.

Zhong Ziyuan had just put on his middle coat, and as soon as the door "snapped", he was pushed open by Guo Chengsi, and he was still shouting in his mouth: "Doctor Jia, move faster, I'm still waiting for you to save your life" Zhong Ziyuan raised his head in a panic, and just collided with his eyes.

Guo Chengsi's voice suddenly froze, and she saw that the fog in front of her was filled, and her face was half-hidden in the mist, which made people unable to see it really, only the amber cat-like eyes slowly narrowed, and there seemed to be two flames burning inside. A waterfall-like black hair was scattered behind his head, and water was still dripping down. A few mischievously slid down her neck and into the neckline.

Guo Chengsi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and at that moment he felt that the stinky boy standing in front of him was the stinky boy who talked eloquently in front of the corpse last night, obviously a great beauty who captivated the country and the city.

His gaze subconsciously turned around Zhong Ziyuan, but unfortunately the overly long and oversized middle coat covered everything, and he didn't see anything. Zhong Ziyuan felt his presumptuous gaze, and her eyebrows couldn't help but slowly rise.

Cardamom finally got rid of Rongxi's entanglement and ran in in a panic. Seeing that Zhong Ziyuan had already put on her clothes, she was secretly relieved in her heart. She hurriedly said to Zhong Ziyuan: "Childe, the little one said that you are bathing, please ask Master Guo to wait in the courtyard for a while, but he wants to break in, and ask Childe to punish him." ”

Zhong Ziyuan raised his eyebrows, grimaced his face, and said: "I have heard that Master Guo learned literature at the age of three and martial arts at the age of five, and he is the son of a noble family who pays the most attention to etiquette and demeanor. Why do you want to learn from that reckless man's behavior, regardless of the wishes of the master's family, and break into the private house, could it be that Lord Guo regards me here as the back garden of your Zhenguo Mansion? ”

Seeing that Zhong Ziyuan was really angry, Guo Chengsi hurriedly restrained his mind and said apologetically: "Doctor Jia, don't blame, it's the official who is reckless, but the official does have something important to discuss with you." ”

"If you have something important, please go to the courtyard for a while, and let me change my clothes before coming out to discuss." Zhong Ziyuan didn't dare to offend Guo Chengsi too much after all, she glared at Cardamom and said sharply: "I don't have the eyesight to see, I don't know how to wait for adults in the courtyard with good tea and water." I know that our place here is simple and cramped, but Lord Guo is a precious body, if you fall or hit somewhere, you can't afford to have ten heads. ”

Although these words were not directed at Guo Chenghe, they still made him feel uncomfortable. He had to pat Cardamom's thin shoulder and said, "Forget it, I was reckless, Doctor Jia doesn't have to blame him, the official will wait in the hospital." ”

Seeing that Guo Chengsi finally retreated, Qing Dai, who had been secretly trembling, hurriedly rushed over and closed the door tightly, she asked in a trembling whisper: "Childe, then Lord Guo didn't see anything!" ”

"This guy is very shrewd, I'm afraid I'm suspicious." Zhong Ziyuan's brows couldn't help frowning deeply: "Forget it, as long as he doesn't make it clear, let's pretend that nothing happened." Help me change my clothes first and see what he's up to. She was only secretly glad at the moment, because she thought that she would have to go out later, so she didn't wash off the disfigured potions on her face. Otherwise, just now, it would be ironclad.

"Yes." Qing Dai helped Zhong Ziyuan wrap the white cloth that wrapped her chest, then changed into a white middle coat and a lake-colored robe. The black crow's hair was twisted with only a handkerchief, and then coiled on top of his head.

Zhong Ziyuan took a deep breath, opened the door and walked out. When I came to the courtyard, I really saw Guo Chengsi standing there honestly, not messing around. But what is this guy holding in his hand?

After Zhong Ziyuan saw it clearly, her little face "boomed" and became red. I saw that what Guo Chengsi was holding in his hand was actually the white cloth that she had replaced earlier. (To be continued......)
