Chapter 673: The Emperor is seriously ill

Xiu'er shook her head, "Zhou Heng and Shizi rushed back as fast as possible, I was naturally fine, but the two men in black who caught it had committed suicide, it was too scary to watch!" ”

Liu Renli looked sideways at Zhou Heng.

"Do you know who these are?"

Liu Xiu'er and Zhou Heng shook their heads almost at the same time, their eyes firm.

"Xiu'er was frightened, I don't have time to look at those corpses, let's let me dispose of them."

Liu Renli suddenly felt that Zhou Heng had a point, nodded and turned around to grab the doorknob.

"That's right, I'll let Zhou Yi'an's apprentice deal with it."

Just as the door was about to open, Zhou Heng stopped him.

"Brother Liu, I think this matter seems to have something to do with the matter of Ning Wangfu, if you don't have an autopsy, it is better to wait for a while, it is best to report this matter back to the capital, Tongzhou is to open a branch of the Spring Hall, and it is to build roads, and it is the autumn harvest, if these people are eyeing Tongzhou, this intention is really hard to say!"

Liu Renli was stunned, and his face suddenly became a little more serious, these things, according to Zhou Heng, are all key projects in Tongzhou, there are many people in the autumn harvest, almost the whole city is dispatched, and the road construction is all from the capital.

It's not easy to start on both sides, if the weakest thing is the Rejuvenation Hall, if it weren't for Zhou Heng's foresight to leave Xiao Bo, I don't know what else would happen.

"I know, you can rest assured here, don't go out, I'll immediately let Zhang Huaiyuan go to the capital in person, find Master Zhang Fuling, and hand the fold up, they made such a big noise, they didn't dare to do anything in a short time, I asked the people from the government to stay here to guard, okay, I'll go back first."

Liu Renli was happy, patted Zhou Heng's shoulder after speaking, and continued.

"Don't leave people here, I think it's better to build the Tongzhou Branch of the Royal Institute of Technology opposite, so that there are many people, naturally no one dares to mess around."

Zhou Heng thought for a while, and then nodded, this is not a big deal, just pull out a group of people, the materials have already been prepared, and now it is autumn and there is no rain, and the progress of the construction is quite good.

"Cheng, I'll arrange it here, tomorrow the Tongzhou branch opposite will start construction, the foundation has been done, the wiring has been completed, the materials have been entered, and you can start construction at any time."

Liu Renli breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, I'll go back and write the excerpt first, as for the bodies of these two killers, let's take them away, I'll let them be refrigerated and transported away directly." ”

Xiu'er was trembling, and Zhou Heng hurriedly patted Xiu'er on the shoulder.

"You sit here for a while, I'll go and explain, and I'd better take a look at the corpse."

Xiu'er had no opinion, Zhou Heng followed Liu Renli out of the office, and went directly to the second floor, the bodies of the two killers were still here, Zhou Yi'an's apprentice Zhang Sheng was checking, and when he saw Zhou Heng hurrying over, he motioned for Zhou Heng to follow.

"Uncle Shi, I see something."

As he spoke, Zhang Sheng unfolded the palm of the killer's hand, and sure enough, the palm of the right hand of the two corpses had a burn scar, and the scar on the palm of one person was very light, and he faintly saw the black lines, Zhou Heng approached, and subconsciously raised his hand to rub the scar.

With Zhou Heng's action, a piece of flesh-colored thing was rubbed up, Zhou Heng shuddered, he didn't start heavy, how could he still rub off a piece of meat, just when he was stunned, Zhang Sheng had already picked up the fallen thing.

Raised it up to take a look, pinched it and sent it to the bottom of his nose to smell it, Zhang Sheng smiled instantly.

"It's noodles!"

Zhou Heng hurriedly unfolded the man's hand again, and sure enough, the location of the scar seemed to be sticking to something, and after continuous kneading, the dough and some glue on it were all cleaned up, and a black golden crow appeared in front of Zhou Heng's eyes.

This pattern is obviously very similar to the one drawn in the previous medical book, the texture is clear, and the surrounding flames are carefully depicted, Zhou Heng squinted his eyes and reached out to tear off the man's face towel.

This is a man with ordinary facial features, in his thirties, Zhou Heng has never seen this person, obviously this person is afraid of pain, so he has been using face and glue to make a scar in the palm of his hand to cover people's ears and eyes.

"There is a mark, at least send it to the capital with some more words."

As soon as Zhou Heng's words fell, Zhang Sheng, who was staring at the corpse on the side, let out a puzzled voice.

"This person is somewhat familiar, but I don't know when I've seen it, it seems to be in some portrait."

Liu Renli glanced at him, he was anxious, after all, he had to go back to write the excerpts, and the examination of these corpses would be sent directly back to Shuntian Mansion.

"Okay, don't delay the time, hurry up and send the body back to the yamen, Zhang Sheng, you have two things, the first is to find ice and a coffin to preserve the body, and then you and Master Zhang will go to the capital to send it, and the second is to depict the golden crow mark in the palm of this person's palm, and put it in the fold to play."

Zhang Sheng hurriedly got up, "It's the adult, the small one will start drawing, and let people go to find ice and coffins." ”

Liu Renli didn't delay any longer, he left quickly, Xiu'er glanced at Zhou Heng, she glanced up, Zhou Heng nodded, Xiu'er hurriedly called someone to take care of Bai Qingyun.

Zhang Sheng got the true biography of Zhou Yi'an, took the pen and began to draw, and Pang Xiao approached Zhou Heng.

"It seems that the initial guess was good, these people just wanted to hide the mark of the palm, so they cut off the flesh of the palm, and then scalded, this guy is probably afraid of pain, so he didn't clean it up."

Zhou Heng nodded and glanced at Zhu Yunmo beside him.

"The prince still has to make a trip, although the road repair site does not have to be there for a long time, but also show up every once in a while, it seems that we attach importance to the personnel of the construction team, after all, it is to share the weal and woe with them, or do you want the son to go again?"

Zhu Yunmo waved his hand, "Don't be polite with me, I can't help here anyway, I'll go!" ”

......

It was dark, and several fast horses, and a carriage appeared at the east gate, there was no carriage on the carriage, and something was wrapped in a huge cloth.

Seeing the city guards, the leaders hurriedly showed the pass waist card of the Shizi Mansion, and the city guards were not embarrassed, and when they checked, they saw that the carriage was hiding a coffin, and they had no intention of blocking it.

"Let's go, let's go in quickly, the city gate is about to close!"

Zhang Huaiyuan waved his hand, and everyone followed his horses, galloping towards Shuntianfu quickly, and Zhang Sheng followed closely in front of the door.

The people in front of the door stopped a few people, and Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly dismounted and bowed.

"This brother, we are here from Tongzhou on the order of Lord Liu Renli, there is an urgent excerpt that needs to be handed into the palace by Lord Zhang, and there are two assassins' bodies here, which need to be checked by Zhou Sizhi, I wonder if they are all there?"

When the official heard the names of Liu Renli and Zhou Yi'an, he instantly knew that the situation was serious, and hurriedly said:

"Master Zhang has just left, I'm afraid I have returned to the mansion at this time, as for Zhou Sizhi is inside, you wait for me to call someone, so that you can know where to send the corpse."

Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly hugged his fists and thanked him, and then said:

"Then there is Brother Lao, I'll go to Master Zhang's mansion first, and the matter is so important that I have to report it in person!"

The man saw that Zhang Huaiyuan knew where Zhang Fuling's mansion was, obviously he was not a first-time visitor to the capital, and the intimacy on his face was even worse, and while saying yes, he ordered someone to find Zhou Yi'an quickly.

Zhang Huaiyuan didn't wait, got on the horse and walked towards Zhang Fuling's house.

Although he hadn't been in, he had heard Liu Renli say the location, and when he turned two streets, he saw a small mansion with the word Zhangfu written on it.

Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly tied the horse and stood on one side, Zhang Fuling seemed to hear the reply of the person beside him, picked up the curtain and glanced outside, and saw that it was Zhang Huaiyuan who quickly ordered to get off the sedan chair, and the person immediately walked down quickly.

"Zhang Huaiyuan, why are you here?"

Zhang Huaiyuan made a gesture to give a salute, Zhang Fuling hurriedly waved his sleeves, and rushed over at this time, obviously there was something urgent, and Zhang Fuling looked extremely attached great importance to it.

"Lord Zhang, my lord wrote an excerpt, I hope you can hand it over to Your Majesty on your behalf, in addition, at noon today, two assassins were arrested in the Tongzhou branch of the Huichun Hall, and more than a dozen people escaped, and the body has arrived in Shuntianfu at this moment, and I hope that Zhou Sizhi can check one or two."

When Zhang Fuling heard this, something absolutely happened, so he hurriedly waved his hand.

"Come on, let's go back to Shuntianfu."

As soon as he was instructed here, the sedan chair driver moved, and the girl ran in the direction of Shuntianfu, and Zhang Huaiyuan hurriedly got on the horse to catch up.

After a while, when I arrived at Shuncheon Mansion, the carriage in front of the door to pull the coffin was empty, and it was obvious that all the bodies were placed.

Zhang Fuling walked in quickly, and Zhang Huaiyuan followed closely and walked directly towards the autopsy room.

As soon as he pushed the door in, the two corpses had been placed on the platform, Zhou Yi'an stood next to him and took Zhang Sheng to check it together, there was no one else in the room, and when he saw Zhang Fuling coming in, he hurriedly gave a salute.

"Your Excellency!"

Zhang Fuling waved his hand and walked closer, holding the fold in his hand, obviously having read it once.

"There are no outsiders, Master Zhang directly said what was going on."

Zhang Huaiyuan organized his language a little and said today's events, of course, it was the kind of rhetoric that Zhou Heng wanted to express, and the more he listened to Zhang Fuling's brows, the more frowning.

"What did you find?"

Zhou Yi'an had already removed all the clothes of the two corpses at this time, Zhang Sheng was afraid of affecting his judgment, so he didn't check it carefully, but only checked his palms and mouth, and didn't dare to move anything else.

"Your Excellency, please see, these two people are between thirty and thirty-five years old, and they have many scars on their bodies, these scars are not caused at one time, the longest is even an old wound from twenty years ago, even if they are old generals on the battlefield, the scars on their bodies are not so dense, so their identities are self-evident.

In addition, the height of these two people is lower than that of ordinary men, their faces are round, there are no too many edges and corners, their single eyelid skin is fairer and more delicate than that of ordinary men, their limbs are shorter, their thin lips and nose bridge are collapsed, and in terms of appearance, these two people are not northerners, but southerners.

The poison mixed in the teeth, I extracted some, and I can judge by smelling the smell, this is arrow poison wood, also known as seeing blood and sealing the throat, as long as a drop, let alone a person, even a cow can instantly fall to the ground with heart paralysis and die.

Moreover, this arrow poison wood, in the north of the Yangtze River is almost not seen, mostly produced in Yunnan and Guizhou, of course, there are also in southern Sichuan, this medicine I have seen in my uncle's laboratory, the seeds of this arrow poison wood can treat dysentery, or an extremely effective medicine. ”

Zhang Fuling lowered his head slightly, Zhou Yi'an's inspection was too critical, since it was poisoned and died, it didn't make much sense to open the stomach.

But the characteristics of these two people actually brought such a pair of information, which made Zhang Fuling quite surprised, grabbed the fold in his hand, and looked at Zhang Huaiyuan and them.

"The body is temporarily placed here, I will enter the palace now, and this matter must be reported to Your Majesty as soon as possible."

Zhang Huaiyuan naturally has no opinion, everything must be arranged by Zhang Fuling when he arrives here, and he is the only one who can enter the palace.

"Obey Master Zhang's arrangement!"

Zhang Fuling did not pause, and went directly into the palace, at this time it was completely dark, and after waiting at the palace gate for a long time, Fang Jizhong came out.

Zhang Fuling looked at it and was stunned for a moment, and then the two hurriedly walked to the side.

Fang Jizhong lowered his voice and said:

"Your Majesty was very unwell in the evening, so he called the envoy of the Liu Yuan to come over for diagnosis and treatment, and then took the medicine and fell asleep directly, I don't know what important things Lord Zhang has."

Fang Jizhong pinched Liu Renli's fold, paused slightly, handed it to Fang Jizhong, and then said the whole thing, as well as the results of the corpse, Fang Jizhong squinted.

"The medicine taken by His Majesty has the ingredient of hypnosis, even if you call it now, you can't wake it up, Liu Yuan's envoy specially explained when he left, if His Majesty doesn't wake up early tomorrow morning, he will be temporarily exempted from going to court for a day, His Majesty has agreed."

Zhang Fuling was stunned, since he was an official, the old emperor did not go to court for a day, it seems that he is very sick this time, thinking of this Zhang Fuling is full of worry.

"Your Majesty's Body ......"

Fang Jizhong sighed, "Your Majesty is old, naturally there is a problem, this matter has to be hidden, as for what you said, either our family will send the corpse to the factory guard first, as for Tongzhou, I will send someone to protect it first, I just lost, and there will be no action for the time being." ”

Zhang Fuling nodded, there is only this way at the moment, and it is true that he can no longer be called the old emperor, if he is ill because of this matter, then the court will really be in chaos.

"It's okay, I can only do this right now, but the people sent to Tongzhou, if Fang Gonggong's henchmen, if something happens in Tongzhou, you and I can't get out of it."

Fang Jizhong sighed, his white hair trembling.

"Don't worry, Lord Zhang, I will definitely send a competent person, Liu Fudong's thorns have been disposed of, and there will be no big storm for the time being."

"There is a father-in-law of labor, Zhang said goodbye first!"

......

The next day, in front of the Rejuvenation Hall in the capital early in the morning.

Zhou Yi'an sent her daughter-in-law into the Rejuvenation Hall, and she came to deliver the newly made isolation gown, as well as various masks and small items.

Just after helping to move things, Zhou Yi'an was about to leave, and saw a man wearing a brocade costume, brown hair, brown eyes, and a big beard.

This person looked at the Rejuvenation Hall and introduced something to the group of strangers behind him, but he said a lot of things that Zhou Yi'an didn't understand, after all, he was a person from Shuntianfu, and his sensitivity was still relatively strong.

The strangers were stranger than the other, some with blue eyes, some with yellow hair, some with curly beards, some with white cloth wrapped around their heads, and circles like a pot buckled on their heads, and their clothes were even more strange.

"Who are you looking for?"
