Chapter 206: Tatsubo's suspicions
Ma Du, who was at home, had been accompanying the guests on the side, and he heard the conversation between Song Ke and Chen Bao clearly, and he was both shocked and happy in his heart. Fortunately, he was not lazy and used the Song family's paper directly, and all the materials were purchased by Lao Liu.
was afraid that others would find out about Lao Liu, so he specially asked Yang Shuping to do a "disguise technique" for Lao Liu. is not as mysterious as in martial arts, it is actually makeup, but Yang Shuping's craftsmanship is exquisite.
Under his subordinates, Lao Liu turned into a man with black mole and gray hair, and it was like two people, and the shopkeeper and Lao Liu, who had been restored to his original appearance, did not look at each other face to face.
"Commander Chen, go slowly!" Madu sent Chen Bao and the shopkeeper all the way outside the gate.
"I'm tired, Doctor Ma, please stay." Chen Bao said with a smile: "Tomorrow, the doctor should be on duty in the palace again, but prepare a new story, in the two days that you are at home, the second prince is clamoring for you to tell a story." β
"I've thought about it, I'll tell the second prince tomorrow."
Chen Bao nodded, turned around when he was about to leave, and asked casually, "By the way, where was the horse doctor on the night of the river lantern?" β
"Huh...... I'm not afraid that Commander Chen will laugh, and I accompanied my fiancΓ©e to put the river lantern that night, and I also saw the Kong Ming lantern that day, and I thought it was a ghost fire, but it frightened me. β
"That Kong Ming lantern appeared in the north of the city, why did the doctor run so far to release the river lantern?"
Ma Du explained: "My fiancΓ©e has a close friend who lives in the north of the city, and the two of them have to put river lanterns together, so they went to the north city. β
The southwest wind blew in those two days, and if he wanted Kong Ming to get out of the city as soon as possible, of course he had to go to Beicheng, Ma Du asked Guan Jia in advance, Song Shuang would go to Beicheng every year to put river lanterns with that Miss Xu, just along the way.
"Oh, but is it the niece of Mr. Xu Ben's family? Mr. Xu was a staff member in the palace, and I happened to be going to his house. Farewell! Tatsubo said and rode away.
Mother, it won't be such a coincidence, Ma Du scolded in his heart, he was away for a while, and Kong Ming's lantern was lifted into the air during that period of time, if that grudgeful Miss Xu took the opportunity to pour dirty water on him, wouldn't he be suspected by Chen Bao.
"Calm down, calm down, anyway, you Chen Bao can't catch the exact evidence that Lao Tzu did it."
Ma Du gave himself a reassurance, and still went to the palace as usual as a story machine. The foreign classic fairy tales in his stomach were finally hollowed out by Zhang Zongzhao, and Ma Du had to talk about something else, and after some consideration, he decided to talk about "Journey to the West", suitable for all ages.
The lethality of the famous book is really extraordinary, Zhang Zongzhao probably didn't understand much, but Baijin was very addicted to it. She went back to talk to the princess, and the princess invited him back to the back house.
The son Zhang Zongzhou is no longer in class, and like his younger brother Zhang Zongzhao, he carries a small bench every day to listen to Ma Du talk about "Journey to the West". That's right, what kind of classes are you taking at this time, no matter how much you learn, there is no world to treat him.
When Zhang Shicheng occasionally sat aside and listened to him say the previous paragraph, Ma Du realized that he was not a story machine, but a psychotropic drug that paralyzed himself from the old Zhang family.
Today, Zhang Shicheng was very angry, when Ma Du said that Sun Wukong was driven away by Tang Sanzang in "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", Lao Zhang angrily flipped the table, and the preserved fruit dim sum fell to the ground, and roared angrily: "Such a hero should be humiliated by a thief, and the sky is unfair!" β
The two stories of the Zhang Zongzhou brothers listened to them well, and they didn't understand why their father was so angry, so they were so frightened that they hurriedly hid behind Princess Liu.
Ma Du understands why Zhang Shicheng is angry, Lao Zhang regards himself as Sun Wukong, and as for the thief, of course, he refers to "Zhu Sanzang". Forgetting this taboo, Ma Du hurriedly asked Zhang Shicheng for his guilt.
Zhang Shicheng's undulating chest gradually calmed down under the comfort of Princess Liu, "It's because this king is unhappy and has nothing to do with Mr., let's go back here today." β
Ma Du hurriedly bowed down and said goodbye, and happened to meet Chen Bao when he went out.
Chen Bao smiled and asked, "Doctor Ma is leaving so early today!" β
"Well, the prince is not in a good mood today, let me go home early!"
"Doctor Ma is being careful, there is some chaos on the street, or I will send a few people to send you back."
"That's not necessary, I have a servant escort, farewell!"
Seeing Ma Du leave, the corner of Chen Bao's mouth showed a sneer and turned into the house, he greeted Princess Wu, and Zhang Shicheng took him into the east room.
Zhang Shicheng asked directly: "What is the situation in the city?" β
Chen Bao shook his head and said: "More than half of the families have no food, and the streets are full of hunger. β
"Isn't there still some military rations? Why don't you send it? β
"A lot has already been sent, and the military rations that originally lasted four months have now only been used for more than two months. The prince always has to leave some for his own use on the road. β
Zhang Shicheng sighed and said, "This king is sorry for the people of Suzhou. β
"Where can I manage so much now, the Zhu thieves outside the city have not attacked the city for a long time, and I don't know what conspiracies to use, the prince better leave early!"
"It can only be like this, this king is gone, the Zhu thief occupies Pingjiang, and he can't watch the people of Pingjiang starve to death." Zhang Shicheng waved his hand, "It's up to you to arrange everything, others can't believe it." β
"Whoa!" Chen Bao bowed down, and he suddenly lowered his voice and said, "The prince asked me to check the details, and I already have some eyebrows. β
"Why are you still investigating, what's the use of you finding out?" Zhang Shicheng still couldn't help asking, "Who did you find?" β
Chen Baoshen said mysteriously: "It is very likely that it is this horse doctor!" β
Zhang Shicheng was surprised: "How is it possible! Are you mistaken! β
Chen Bao said seriously: "The prince thinks about it carefully, and there are many things that happen in the city that have his shadow. β
Zhang Shicheng frowned and asked, "Where do you start talking about this?" β
"Not long after he treated Liao Yongan, Liao Yongan was rescued!"
"Didn't Hou San recruit this matter, Hou San invited him over."
If Ma Du heard Zhang Shicheng defend him, he must have held his hand and called him a confidant. This matter really has nothing to do with Ma Du, it was done by Yang Shuping, Mao Xiang and their bullshit Shangfeng, even if Ma Du makes some efforts, it is passive.
Chen Bao said: "And General Lu was also at the scene when he died, although I don't know what means he had, it must have been something he sent outside the city, otherwise it would be impossible for the thief army outside the city so far away to know that General Lu was on the city wall, and he fought so accurately." β
"Didn't Mr. Pony get hurt that day?"
"Who dares to say that it is not a bitter meat trick, the prince may not know that he once went to the gunpowder workshop in the northwest of the city."
"Seriously!" Zhang Shicheng's expression was grim, and there was anger in his eyes.
"I asked people to take his portrait over there and ask about it, and there was an old man who had seen him, but he wasn't sure after a long time. And on the day of the Midyear Festival, he was near the house where Kong Ming's lantern appeared, accompanying his fiancΓ©e and Xu Ben's niece to release river lanterns. I asked him and asked Miss Xu for confirmation. β
"Did he lie to you?"
Chen Bao shook his head and said, "He didn't lie to me, maybe he was frank." β
"And everything else has been proven?"
"No, but my subordinates always think he's too weird, give me two more days, and I'll definitely be able to catch his tail."
Zhang Shicheng's eyes softened again, and he sighed and said: "Chenbao, you think too much, this king knows that you have worked hard these days, and I heard the princess say that you don't sleep and inspect the palace." You see you're less than thirty, and you have so many gray hairs. Ay...... When I first picked you up, I was short and thin, and after so many years, I am getting weaker and weaker, and I have to suffer from you. β
Zhang Shicheng reached out and touched Chen Bao's head, and his expression was rare and kind. Chen Bao and Zhang Shicheng are like Zhu Wenying and Lao Zhu, they are intimate big leather jackets, and they are very affectionate.
Chen Bao also had tears in his eyes, "Without the prince, Chen Bao would have died a long time ago, and Chen Bao is willing to follow the prince to the death!" With a thud, he fell to his knees.
Zhang Shicheng stretched out his hand to help him up, "You don't have to patrol the palace these two nights, so you can rest and get ready!"
Chen Bao said again: "That horse doctor always makes his subordinates unsure, I'm afraid that he will ruin our affairs, whether he is careful or not, detain him first." β
Zhang Shicheng shook his head, "That's not necessary, if he's not, if he is, he can still use him!" β
