Chapter 200: A Special Scar
An hour later.
Zhou Heng sat in the flower hall with a tea cup and looked at the courtyard.
There is no plum garden here, but the yard is very exquisite, and it has been taken care of, all the utensils in it are complete, needless to say that this is the emperor's order, from yesterday to move out of Ning Wangfu, to this moment less than a day, so fast is really eye-popping.
The people of the Rejuvenation Hall lived in the east courtyard, and the guards who followed Zhu Yunmo back lived in the west courtyard, and there were still many free places in the backyard, Zhu Yunmo put down the tea cup and prepared to get up to see the situation where Zhou Heng was placed.
At this moment, Pang Xiao hurriedly walked in from outside, and Zhu Yunmo looked at Pang Xiao with a puzzled expression.
"What's wrong?"
"Master, Master Zhang Fuling is here."
Zhu Yunmo was stunned, "Why did he come, and how did he know that we moved here?" ”
Pang Xiao pursed his lips, "It is said that in the entire capital, there is no one who does not know that the emperor gave the original Prince Gong's Mansion to his master as a residence, and there are still many imperial histories ready to be impeached." ”
Zhu Yunmo was not surprised at all, and hurriedly waved his hand.
"Forget it, don't mention this, please come in."
Pang Xiao took the order, and after a while, Zhang Fuling walked in with Zhang Wanxun.
"Zhang Fuling has seen the prince, and I came here today to take Zhang Wanxun to thank you and Dr. Zhou for your treatment."
Zhu Yunmo hurriedly stepped forward and helped Zhang Fuling and Zhang Wanxun up.
"Lord Zhang, please sit down, you don't need to mind so much, if you think of us in trouble, you will definitely do your best to help." Xiao Bo, please come over to Zhou Heng. ”
Pang Xiao hurriedly went to invite someone, several people sat down, a small servant held a teacup, and Zhu Yunmo smiled at Zhang Fuling.
"Drink a cup of tea made by Zhou Heng and see how it tastes?"
Zhang Fuling nodded, picked up the tea cup and smelled a burst of aroma before lifting the lid, not sweet and greasy but as comfortable as a spring breeze in this winter.
Take a sip, it was really refreshing, that Zhang Wanxun didn't matter whether it was hot or not, he almost drank it all, and then kept sighing.
"It smells so good!"
Zhang Fuling put down the teacup and laughed.
"This week's doctor's medical skills are superb, comparable to the art of resurrection, I didn't expect to have such a deep study of a drink and a peck."
Zhu Yunmo laughed, "Yes, he doesn't like the tea cakes we usually eat, he has to drink this kind of fried tea, but he dislikes the bitterness of the fried tea, and then adds flowers to make the tea stained with floral fragrance, it tastes really good, and Uncle Huang likes it very much." ”
Zhang Fuling looked at Zhu Yunmo, "Why didn't the prince ask, how did we know that the prince was happy to move to a new home?" ”
Zhu Yunmo shook his head and said without caring at all:
"There's nothing strange about it, the matter of Ning Wangfu is not a secret, everyone in the capital knows about it, so there are some changes, it must have attracted much attention, and this was once Prince Gong's Mansion, how many people's eyes are staring, Uncle Huang gave it to me, some of them are overstepping, but this is Uncle Huang's compassion, do I still have to resist the decree?"
Zhang Fuling thought about it and felt that Zhu Yunmo was reasonable, and the last trace of worry in his heart dissipated a lot.
"What the prince said is very true, and it is the honor of the prince to be magnanimous."
As soon as the words fell, Zhou Heng stepped in, and saw Zhang Fuling and Zhang Wanxun stunned at first, then looked at Zhang Wanxun vigilantly, turned around and glanced at Pang Xiao suspiciously, Pang Xiao hung his head and did not speak.
Zhou Heng hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the three of them.
Zhang Fuling hurriedly got up and solemnly bowed to the ground towards Zhou Heng, Zhou Heng was startled, and quickly turned sideways, with a panicked face, and kept urging in his mouth:
"What is Master Zhang doing, bothering Zhou."
"Just passed a note, and sent Zhang Wanxun to Qingping County, how bad his condition was at that time, I know very well, almost all the staff of this hospital are dispatched, and no one dares to move the tip of this sword, you are a grace to Zhang Wanxun for reconstruction, and Zhang Wanxun is to save me from injury, I remember this in my heart, so Doctor Zhou, you can afford this gift!"
Zhang Fuling said that he was already very excited here, and looked sideways and motioned for Zhang Wanxun to come forward and thank him.
Zhang Wanxun didn't say anything, so he knelt down in front of Zhou Heng and kowtowed three times.
This pass really made Zhou Heng a little confused.
I really didn't think about it so much at the beginning, Zhang Wanxun was injured in order to deal with Liu Renli's case, and the treatment should be shared, such a big gift is better than giving something to be honest.
Zhou Heng paused, and hurriedly helped Zhang Wanxun up.
Then he looked at Zhang Fuling, sighed and said:
"Lord Zhang, don't be so mindful, I really didn't think so much about the rescue of Zhang Wanxun the chief of the guard, you were assassinated for the case of your righteous brother Liu Renli, saving people is what we should do, besides, you can send a clipper to send people to the Rejuvenation Hall, it is a trust in Zhou Heng, such trust, what else is there to say, you can only try your best to save it."
Zhang Fuling pursed her lips and patted the armrest hard, with a trace of regret on her face.
"Although this case has been closed, it can only be traced to the household department, as for the deeper involvement, it cannot be traced, a flood of the Chaiwen River will involve so many officials, and this year's drought in northern Liaoning, there are several floods in the south of the Yangtze River, is there really no problem? It's shocking to think about it, the emperor is thrifty with the expenses of the harem for disaster relief, and what are these officials doing? ”
Zhang Fuling's words were a little complaining, which showed that he was very angry.
But no one can take these words, Zhu Yunmo is an excluded royal relative, and Zhou Heng is a grass citizen, and the two of them look at Zhang Fuling like this.
After a while, Zhang Fuling sighed.
"The old man is rude, today I heard that the prince has moved, I want to come and have a look, and I want to thank Dr. Zhou, and there is one more thing."
Saying that, Zhang Fuling motioned to Zhang Wanxun, took out the painting he had drawn before, and handed it to Zhou Heng.
"This is when Meng Xiaoyou was tried, he recalled that the person who made him perjury, there was such a scar on his right palm, Meng Xiaoyou also insisted that the scar was a burn, not a cut, I thought about it for a while, or show it to you Maybe I can find something else."
Zhou Heng took the painting, not to mention that the painting was very expressive, not that kind of fine brush painting, but a very realistic painting method, similar to the sketch, but the surrounding area was painted with ink, Zhou Heng almost thought that he had touched the traverser, and stabilized his mind a little, so he looked at the wound carefully.
Sure enough, this wound looks like a burn, horizontal from left to right in the middle of the palm, not a very superficial burn, and you can see from the painting that the shape of the metacarpal bone has been revealed.
And the four fingers of this person, except for the thumb, are hooked in the direction of the palm, this shape is very peculiar, like a ligament formed by shortening.
However, there are no signs of burns on the fingers, so the form of such a contraction is a bit puzzling.
The first reaction of ordinary people when they are burned is to shake them off, so either the fingertips are also burned, or it is just a relatively superficial burn, such a burn that reaches deep into the muscle layer, it must be deliberate, is it ......
"Master Zhang, is there a punishment for scalding your hands and feet?"
Zhang Fuling shook his head, "The Liang thieves cut off their hands and feet, but there is no punishment for burns, and they will be tortured during torture, but they are generally whipped, and the soldering iron is also used on the chest and abdomen, as for lynching, it is unknown." ”
Zhou Heng raised his hand and looked at his palm, if it wasn't tortured, it wasn't an accidental burn, then why did he burn his palm, and he was so ruthless, could there be anything in his palm?
After observing for a while, I didn't see anything, except for the palm prints, there is really nothing, do you need any palm prints to open the lock this year?
Just as he looked at the seal in the corner of the painting, Zhou Heng suddenly thought that the ancients still had a kind of punishment, but that was to cut and prick the forehead or cheekbones, and then paint black and dye ink, so that it could not be washed off for a lifetime.
Could it be that there is some mark on the palm of this person, something like this, which cannot be removed by ordinary methods, but can only be destroyed like this?
Zhang Fuling looked at Zhou Heng, and felt from his demeanor that it seemed that Zhou Heng had thought of something, and quickly got up and approached.
"Doctor Zhou, what did you think of?"
