Chapter 71: Signs of Slippery Tires

Mocheng Pavilion, the largest calligraphy and painting pavilion in Kyoto, the best four treasures of the entire Yuanzhao country are from here, how many talents who entered Beijing to take the exam, is to spend all the money on their bodies, and they all want to buy a side of ink or a pen from Mocheng Pavilion.

The weather is very good today, the bright sun casts a beautiful light and shadow from the skylight on the roof, and the shop guys carefully put out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone for customers to choose.

As soon as a landscape inkstone carved from black jade was put out, a tall and handsome figure stepped into the room.

"Yo! Isn't this Master Hou, why are you here today? The little ones haven't seen you in a few days! ”

Nonsense! I don't like to buy these expensive and useless things on weekdays, you can see a ghost when you see you!

Chu Huai'an slandered, and the guy greeted him with a smile on his face, as if he was looking at a cash cow, Chu Huai'an was not polite, his clothes were flirty, and he was sitting on the chair very much.

The guy made tea non-stop and brought it to him, Chu Huaian took a sip of face, and looked around with a straightforward and presumptuous gaze.

A few days ago, he went to another store to sit down and closed the store to arrest people, and the smile on the man's face was a little unbearable, and he tentatively spoke: "Master Hou, let's just do some small business honestly, no ...... Didn't do anything, did you? ”

"Did you say you had committed a crime? What are you in a hurry for? ”

Chu Huai'an asked faintly, the guy almost bit his tongue when he said it, and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said yes.

"I want to buy an inkstone, do you have any good recommendations?"

After looking around, Chu Huai'an said directly, he has always been extravagant in eating and wearing, and his shots have always been very refreshing, and the guy didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly took out a white jade inkstone.

The white jade is in excellent condition, and the inkstone is made into the shape of a cabbage leaf along the texture of the jade, which looks quite chic, catering to the thoughts of some people who want to return to the countryside.

"Hou Ye, please see, this white jade is obtained from the gambling stone of the shopkeeper last year, this jade is a whole, warm in winter and cool in summer, after making this inkstone, I also used leftovers to make grinding stones and bookmarks, if Hou Ye likes it, together with these gadgets, the small ones are all packed together and sent to Hou Ye's house!"

The guy tried his best to please, Chu Huai'an looked at the inkstone, his expression was light, he was not very satisfied, after hearing his words, he even raised his nose and raised his eyes: "Why, the bully has not read any books, and he fools the master with such worthless gadgets......"

As he spoke, he was about to get up and leave, but the guy hurriedly put down the inkstone and pulled him down: "Master Hou is angry!" The little one would never dare to fool the Hou Ye! ”

Chu Huai'an looked back at him, grinning fiercely: "I inquired before the master came, what is sold outside here is not a good thing, the best thing you have here, but in the tasting pavilion in the backyard, why don't you take the master in to have a look?" ”

This is the unwritten rule of Mocheng Pavilion, generally there will be some treasures hidden in the pavilion, only experts who really understand calligraphy and painting can enter to taste and negotiate the price, otherwise even if the prince and grandson are here, there is no truth in the mouth.

As soon as the man heard what he said, he suddenly had two big heads, and he knew that there was nothing good for this master to come here.

"Master Hou, this ...... This is all rumored to be played outside, and the small one just gave you the inkstone, which is already the best! ”

"But it's not good to look at it!"

Chu Huai'an put on a very unreasonable posture, he has never been a reasonable person, and the guy can't do anything about him, so he hurriedly gave the other people in the store a look and asked them to move the rescuers.

"Master Hou don't be impatient, there are rules in the pavilion, if you want to enter the tasting building, you need to get the approval of the pavilion master, and the small ones can't be the masters!"

The guy explained with a bitter face, Chu Huai'an sat down again, picked up the teacup and pinched the tea lid and played with the tea leaves inside: "In this way, then Benhou will wait for the person who can call the shots." ”

After speaking, he snorted calmly and took a sip of tea, which meant that he would not give up until he reached his goal.

The guy had a toothache when he saw it, and he asked people to serve exquisite snacks, for fear of causing him to be uncomfortable and smash the things in the store.

A quarter of an hour later, a shopkeeper wearing a dark blue round-necked gown and a small felt hat of the same color ran over angrily, and before he got closer, he had already bowed to Chu Huai'an and confessed: "The grass people are late, so they asked people to treat Hou Ye slowly, please forgive Hou Ye!" ”

The shopkeeper is only thirty or forty years old, not like others, quite thin, with a small beard, and looks shrewd.

Chu Huai'an looked at him lazily while eating pastries: "I want to buy some good things from you and go back to decorate the faΓ§ade, you guy is planning to bully you for not knowing the goods, and just take some broken things to fool you, what do you think should be done?" ”

"Please forgive Master Hou, it's the grass people's poor discipline! What does Master Hou want, just pick it! ”

The shopkeeper said in a grand manner, doing this is much more sleek, Chu Huai'an put down the cup and stood up, and winked at the shopkeeper: "Ye is not the kind of person who bullies others, things are not taken in vain, how to calculate the money, how to calculate the money, the master just wants to go to your tasting building to open his eyes and see the knowledge!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! Master Hou, please come with the grass people. ”

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he stepped aside, lifted the curtain and asked Chu Huai'an to go to the backyard.

Chu Huai'an was not polite, he walked into the backyard with his feet raised, and looked around leisurely, as if he was walking in a garden, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to say much, bowing his head and leading the way in front.

"The rockery in your backyard is quite chic." Chu Huai'an said casually, a hint of surprise flashed in the shopkeeper's eyes, but he quickly covered up and replied: "Back then, I was looking for a skilled craftsman to specially design, if the Hou Ye likes it, the grass people can help introduce it." ”

"The shopkeeper has a heart."

Chu Huai'an praised, and walked into the tasting building with the shopkeeper, there were valuables in the building, in order to prevent theft, the door was locked with three layers, and there was a special person to guard it.

The shopkeeper unlocked and led Chu Huai'an in, the ventilation and lighting effects in the building are excellent, and the shelves are full of objects of high quality and excellent condition, which should be taken care of by a special person every day, and these things reflect a luster that is very eye-catching.

If another person enters here, he will definitely be dazzled by these treasures, but Chu Huai'an is just a puzzled person, he looked at the things in the house in a hurry, and finally his eyes fell on the top of a wooden frame, on the top of the wooden frame, a wooden box was placed, the box had not been touched for a long time, and a thick layer of ash had fallen, and the original appearance of the box could not be seen clearly.

"What's that? Take it down and show it to you! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Master, that's the treasure of the small shop, and it doesn't sell. ”

The shopkeeper said with a sauce-colored face, Chu Huai'an rolled his eyes, don't you burn incense and bathe every day, the treasure of the town store, and put the ashes there, what about deceiving ghosts?

"Bring it!"

Chu Huai'an ordered, the shopkeeper couldn't resist him, so he could only climb to the top of the bookshelf with a small ladder and take down the box.

There was too much ash, the shopkeeper was choked and coughed, urged by Chu Huai'an, and simply wiped the ash on the box and opened it, as soon as the box was opened, the clear red light was refracted out, Chu Huai'an's eyes widened slightly, and he was shocked by the exquisiteness of the inkstone.

It was a blood jade inkstone, the whole body was like blood, the darker the color at the bottom, and there was a circle of ink at the very edge, and the red and black transitions intersected, carved into a circular lake, which was very beautiful.

"Master Hou should also know that blood jade is the best in jade, and thumb-sized blood jade jade is hard to find, let alone such a large blood jade inkstone, the grass people are not sure, this blood jade inkstone is unique in the world!"

The shopkeeper did not exaggerate, this kind of blood jade, such a delicate carving, even if it was the royal family, he couldn't find a party, no wonder he just said that he would not sell it.

If you change it, no one will sell it.

"Where did this jade come from?"

Chu Huai'an suppressed his surprise and asked, and the shopkeeper was busy closing the box again: "The grandfather of the grass people likes to gamble on stones, and accidentally opened this piece of blood jade, so he washed his hands and never gambled on stones, and then spent his whole life polishing the blood jade into what it is now. ”

"What are you in a hurry to hide, this thing is yours is yours, can I still rob it alive?" Chu Huai'an said angrily, the shopkeeper was a little surprised by his roar, but he still held the blood jade and refused to let go, a full miser.

Chu Huai'an didn't bother with him anymore, turned around the corners of the room with his hands behind his back, and looked out of a few windows.

This building is not high, and when you look out, you can only see the backyard of Mocheng Pavilion, and you can't see the street outside, and the vision is not wide.

After almost reading everything he could see, Chu Huai'an sat down again, raised his chin and motioned to the shopkeeper to put the things back.

The shopkeeper climbed the ladder again with the wooden box in his arms, and was about to put the box back, when he suddenly heard Chu Huai'an speak: "Ben Hou heard that the shopkeeper and Master Li Yong Li are fellow villagers and old acquaintances?" ”

The fluttering words made the shopkeeper tremble, and his hand shook and he almost didn't hold the wooden box and fell into the rare blood jade.

Taking a few deep breaths, the shopkeeper stabilized his mind and put the box back in its place, got down from the ladder, and knelt in front of Chu Huai'an with a sweat: "Master Hou, the grass people and that Li Yong are indeed fellow villagers, and they also have some friendships, but the grass people have been doing small business conscientiously, and they don't know that when he was an official, he actually did those things that oppressed the people!" ”

The shopkeeper was afraid of being accused of being punished by Chu Huai'an, Chu Huai'an looked at his loyal and honest appearance, and the corners of his lips hooked: "What are you shouting, if you want to arrest you today, do you need a person?" ”

"Then what does Master Hou mean by what he just said......?"

The shopkeeper's temptation, Chu Huai'an stretched out his hand to help the person up, and also intimately helped the person dust off the clothes: "The master is not interesting, that is, Li Yong has an only son who is still absconding now, and the Li family has no relatives in Kyoto, don't do anything foolish with the shopkeeper, harboring the court criminals, if it is discovered, let alone the family heirloom, I am afraid that I will not even be able to save the life of my own family!" ”

The shopkeeper was so frightened that his legs and stomach twitched, and all the shrewdness in his eyes disappeared without a trace.

Chu Huai'an was not enough, so he raised his hand and patted this person on the shoulder twice: "The shopkeeper is a smart person, so I don't think Ben Hou needs to go into more detail." ”

"No...... No, you don't! ”

The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly, Chu Huaian withdrew his hand with satisfaction, hummed a little song and stepped out of the tasting building, the shopkeeper chased two steps and wanted to send him out, his leg was weak and he fell, and the people guarding the door hurriedly came in to help him up.

"Shopkeeper, are you alright?"

"It's okay, don't send it to Master Hou for me!"

The shopkeeper kicked the man away, and his butt was on fire and walked back and forth in the house, Li Yong was arrested in Dali Temple for several days, and then there was a split in Zhao'an Building, he thought that this matter was over, but he didn't expect Chu Huai'an to come to the pavilion today to beat him in person.

The ants on the hot pot turned around a few times, the shopkeeper stopped, his eyes were resolute, and he made a decision in his heart, he locked the door of the tasting building, changed into a man's clothes, put on a felt hat and quietly left through the back door.

He lowered his head, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked quickly, but his appearance was not very noticeable, and he was even more ordinary after he was not in the crowd.

In the small teahouse on the side of the road, Chu Huai'an leaned through the window and saw the two tails following the shopkeeper away, so he retracted his gaze and sat back at the table, throwing two puff pastry peanuts into his mouth and biting them crunchy.

"Are these two reliable? You won't lose it, will you? ”

He asked casually, his tone was not worried at all, Zhao Hanzhuo was looking at the thick pile of files related to Li Yong, and he didn't raise his head: "No." ”

This person is really boring, no matter what others say, he will always be blocked by him with three or two words and don't want to speak.

Chu Huaian grabbed a handful of peanut kernels and lay back to the window, not wanting to face Zhao Hanzhuo's pimple-like face, if it weren't for the fact that this person still had some brains in handling the case, he wouldn't want to stay with this person.

Just as he was thinking, a familiar petite figure suddenly appeared in his sight.

The man wore a gray cloak and hat that covered most of her face, and walked briskly through the crowd, the noise around her not stopping her in the slightest.

From this angle, this scene was exactly the same as a few months ago, when he woke up from Lanyue Pavilion and saw Su Li from the window.

Isn't this man nursing his wounds in the Mansion? How did it come out?

Chu Huai'an was a little stunned, rubbed his eyes and wanted to make sure again, but in the blink of an eye, there was no trace of Su Li.

With a tight heart, Chu Huaian put the peanut kernels in his arms, and jumped downstairs holding on to the window.

Someone happened to be passing by downstairs, and he was startled, and before he had time to see his face clearly, he scolded: "Who! If you don't want to live, jump down, and don't see if there is anyone downstairs! ”

Chu Huai'an ignored the man, looking for the direction where Su Li had just disappeared and chased after the crowd.

At the same time, Su Li leaned against the wall at the corner of an alley and gasped softly.

Her injuries are almost healed, and today she finally got the permission to go around the courtyard of the Guogong Mansion to breathe, and just turned around, a ball of paper was thrown in from outside the courtyard wall, and when she opened it, there was a word 'rescue' written on it in blood, which was Su Zhaoyue's handwriting.

The blood stains hadn't dried up yet, exuding a fishy sweet smell, and Su Li didn't want to chase them out the back door.

Xu was deliberately trying to lure her into the bait, and a person who was very similar to Su Zhaoyue's body was wearing the clothes that Su Zhaoyue had worn and fled in a hurry after attracting her attention.

This technique is quite clumsy, and Su Li followed all the way to see what kind of gods these people were pretending to be.

But her body hadn't healed after all, and after chasing her breath for a while, her breath was a little unstable, her breathing was extremely strong, and her throat and chest were painful, and Su Li had to stop and calm her breathing.

After resting for a while to feel better, Su Li thought that she must have lost the person, but when she poked her head out, the person stopped at a stall not far away to pick up something, as if he was waiting for her on purpose.

Does this man know that he is not in good health, or does he have to lead him there?

Su Li didn't rush to follow, calmed down and thought about it carefully, she stared directly at the back of the man, judging from the height and body shape, the person must be a woman.

The material of the clothes is very similar to what Su Zhaoyue had worn, and when her eyes moved down, a trace of surprise flashed in Su Li's eyes, and under the person's skirt, a pair of royal blue shoe tips were exposed.

After wearing it for some time, the white soles were a little dirty, but the uppers were still bright, exactly the same as the shoes that Su Li saw on the carriage to the Xiaoyao Mansion on the day she first returned to Kyoto.

Sizhu? How could it be her?

Su Li was puzzled, raised her feet and walked towards Sizhu, seeing that she moved, Sizhu immediately put down the things in his hand and turned around and continued to move forward.

After bypassing two or three streets all the way, Sizhu disappeared, and Su Li looked around the street, only the banner of a pharmacy was the most eye-catching.

What did she bring herself to the pharmacy for?

Su Li was puzzled, and did not rush to the pharmacy, but only stood in place and observed secretly.

"Why don't you take care of your injuries, why do you come out and run blindly?"

An angry rebuke sounded behind him, and Su Li turned his head and looked at Chu Huai'an's eyes like fire.

He originally hoped that he had recognized the wrong person, but when he saw his face, he was so angry that his heart ached, it was really this unconscious little thing!

"Why is Master Hou here?" Su Li asked rhetorically, not saying that she had just seen Sizhu.

How am I here, how do you say I'm here?

Chu Huai'an was so angry that he pulled Su Li to look her up and down, and then pulled her cloak and hat to cover her head: "Didn't you say that the wound can't see the wind?" You don't know what to look out for? ”

"It's almost ready, it's okay." Su Li whispered, knowing that he was angry, and she didn't make him angry.

"It's almost good, it's not good, if it's not good, stay honest with me!" Chu Huai'an gritted his teeth and said, I can't wait to carry someone back to the Gongfu Mansion now, tie her to the bed with a rope, and prevent her from going to the ground.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Su Li felt that she couldn't make sense with this person, and was about to say something else to divert her attention, when a sound of neat footsteps came.

Turning around, Jing Zhaoyin came running with a group of officers and soldiers, this battle was quite big, all the pedestrians on the road dodged, Chu Huaian stretched out his hand and pulled Su Li to the side.

Su Li was not afraid, poked her head out of Chu Huai'an's arms, and saw Jing Zhaoyin rushing into the pharmacy where she had been watching for a while with the officers and soldiers.

There was only one shopkeeper and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy in the pharmacy, and the two had no idea what was going on, and they were escorted by officers and soldiers and hurriedly cried and begged for mercy.

Jing Zhaoyin ignored what they said, and asked the officers and soldiers to turn the medicine shop upside down, and found a stack of account books and a small drawer of medicinal materials.

The distance was very far away, and Su Li didn't recognize what kind of medicine it was, only to see the shopkeeper and the guy change their faces all of a sudden, as if someone had caught some fatal ironclad evidence.

The people who dared to watch the play next to him sighed, muttered to each other, saying that the shopkeeper and the guy were honest and kind, and they couldn't tell that they were people who would make trouble.

Su Li also felt a little strange, Sizhu led her here with the front foot, and Jing Zhaoyin with the back foot rushed with troops, just to let her watch this play?

Just thinking about it, the young man suddenly broke away from the hands of the officers and soldiers and threw himself at Su Li, and shouted loudly as he ran: "It's you!" It's you! You asked my dad to buy the herbs for you! ”

His expression was already crazy, Su Li had not yet felt afraid, and the others had already screamed and ran away, seeing that the person ran to him, Chu Huai'an raised his leg and kicked it mercilessly.

The young man's body was thin, and Chu Huai'an's kick only used seventy percent of his strength to kick the young man flying out of ten steps.

When the shopkeeper saw it, he immediately beat his chest and cried bitterly: "What a sin! My son is delirious and talks nonsense, it is me who hurts heaven and reason, and it has nothing to do with the girl, please ask the girl to spare my son's life! ”

The shopkeeper cried and begged, his voice was sad, and the young man who fell to the ground formed a very pitiful and helpless appearance, and others still didn't know what was going on, just listening to this few words, it seemed that Su Li wanted to use Chu Huai'an to kill the young man.

Su Li didn't rush to argue, and quietly watched the shopkeeper acting, Jing Zhaoyin came with a solemn face when he heard the sound.

"Miss Su, do you recognize these two?"

"I don't know."

"Then why is Miss Su here today?"

"Happened to be passing by."

Su Li replied calmly, her hat covered her face, Jing Zhaoyin was thinking about other things, she didn't notice that Su Li had a scar on her face, she turned her head to look at Chu Huai'an and said, "Master Hou, today's matter is very important, and I'm afraid that the lower official will have to ask Miss Su to go back to the palace with the lower official." ”

"What's at stake? Ben Hou would like to hear what the big deal is, whether the sky has been pierced or ......"

Chu Huai'an hugged Su Li and said, not realizing that the situation was serious, Jing Zhaoyin's old face twitched, and he whispered in Chu Huai'an's ear: "Master Hou, Su Guifei was accidentally poisoned, and there have been signs of miscarriage, at this moment, the doctors of the Tai Hospital are working together to diagnose and treat, and it is unknown whether the fetus in the womb can be saved!" ”

Jing Zhaoyin's voice was very low, but Su Li and Chu Huai'an stood very close, and they could barely hear his words.

When the words fell, Su Li felt that the hand on her waist was loosened.

Chu Huai'an's whole person was in shock, he opened his mouth, but he couldn't speak, and his brain was buzzing and he couldn't perceive the changes in the outside world.

The dignified concubine, and pregnant with a dragon heir, should be very particular about food and clothing, and can only be sent to the palace after layers of investigation, how can she be suddenly poisoned?

Where does the poison come from, and how is it sent to the palace?

Chu Huai'an racked his brains to think, but his brain was like a mess, and he couldn't figure out his thoughts.

The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was about to bite his tongue and commit suicide after shouting that words, but he was found and stopped by the officers and soldiers, but his mouth was already bleeding.

"Don't call the doctor for treatment! This is an important witness, if you die carefully on the head! Jing Zhao Yin drank hard, knowing that the current time could not be delayed, and urged in a low voice: "Hou Ye, the next official has to go back to the palace to resume his life, and please don't embarrass the Hou Ye!" ”

After speaking, he wanted to pull Su Li away, but Chu Huai'an woke up suddenly, he grabbed Su Li, looked down at her in disbelief: "Yes...... That painting?! ”

He asked so softly that he could barely hear a sound, only the shape of his lips.

The picture of the peace of mother and son was painted by Su Li with her own blood, and because it was the palace that she entered with him, it did not go through many routine inspections.

Later, it was given to Chu Lingzhao by Su Li himself, if Chu Lingzhao gave it to Su Bangyue, the painting would not be inspected by anyone again.

Chu Lingzhao is the emperor, no one will doubt the emperor, after all, who the emperor wants to die, he directly ordered, there is no need to go around such a big circle.

That painting was the only exception, the only thing that would not be detected immediately and that would ensure that it was delivered to Su Bangyue.

"Master Hou, I still have to go back to the palace with Lord Jing Zhaoyin."

Su Li reminded in a low voice and pulled Chu Huai'an's hand away.

She didn't answer Chu Huai'an's question, from the time Jing Zhaoyin said that Su Wanyue had a miscarriage, Su Li knew that the painting had definitely been presented to Chu Lingzhao's desk as incriminating evidence.

It's a pity that when she painted that picture, she really hoped that the fetus in her womb would grow up healthy and sound.

After all, she is also the child's aunt.

She didn't want to harm the child, but others didn't have such a soft heart.

As soon as she entered the palace, Su Li smelled the cold and nervous smell in the palace, and everyone waited tremblingly, for fear that there would be the slightest mistake.

Su Bangyue and the fetus in her womb have not yet escaped, Chu Lingzhao is in the Yunchen Palace, and Jing Zhaoyin will also bring Su Li to the Weichen Palace.

The palace people in the hall were busy and crazy, and kept bringing out basins of blood and water from the house, Chu Lingzhao had already sent a fire, and there were two corpses on the ground, blood flowing all over the ground, mixed with the bitter and astringent medicinal smell with a strong taste, stirring people's stomachs for a while.

Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to enter the house, and took Su Li to kneel outside the palace gate: "The old minister greets Your Majesty!" ”

"The people's daughter greets Your Majesty!"

Su Li followed and bowed, Chu Lingzhao raised his hand to let Jing Zhaoyin get up, and did not mention Su Li, Su Li kept kneeling.

The process of diagnosis and treatment was very long, from the warm sun at noon to the starry sky at night, everyone was quietly busy, and no one spoke.

Su Li's knees were already unconscious, and the situation was a bit like when she was a child.

Every time the three of them went out of the house to play together, if Su Bangyue accidentally contracted the wind cold and couldn't sleep with a cough at night, Zhao would let Su Li and Su Zhaoyue kneel in the courtyard, saying that they didn't take good care of Su Wanyue.

At that time, kneeling was several hours, and after kneeling, it was definitely impossible to walk, so they could only let Greensleeves and Nu'er carry them back, and after they went back, they would have to take medicine for several days before they could get out of bed and walk.

Su Li also secretly made knee pads for Zhao a few times, and was later denounced by Su Bangyue, and Zhao also beat Su Li hard.

Thinking of those old things, Su Li didn't feel bored when she knelt, but her injuries had not yet healed, and she knelt for a long time, and then blew a little night breeze, and coughed uncontrollably.

In the huge Yunchen Palace, she was the only one who coughed and kept coughing, abrupt, harsh and very disrespectful.

Everyone's tense nerves rose and fell with her every cough, and she didn't know when it would break.

If the child is not saved, or the concubine also dies because of this incident, the entire Weichen Hall will probably have to be buried with him.

These people don't want to die, and Su Li doesn't want to die.

She still has a lot to do, how can she die like this?

It didn't take until the third watch, Su Bangyue's situation finally stabilized, Chu Lingzhao came out of the Yunchen Palace, and glanced at Su Li: "Kneel and understand?" ”

"Under the avoidance, the folk girl has always lived very clearly."

Su Li replied, her voice was hoarse from the smoke and fire, which was quite unpleasant, Chu Lingzhao saw that she was wearing a cloak covering half of her face, walked up to her and squatted down, raised her hand and gently pulled her hat back, and the small burn scar on her face was immediately revealed, which was very terrifying against the flickering candle flame.

"Ahh

A palace person passed by and accidentally saw it, and was so frightened that he exclaimed a little, Chu Lingzhao turned his head and glanced at the palace person coldly.

The palace people hurriedly covered their mouths, knelt on the ground and trembled: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Your Majesty forgives your sins! ”

Chu Lingzhao pursed his lips and didn't speak, and immediately a guard stepped forward to drag the palace people away, Chu Lingzhao put his hat on Su Li again, and got up with his hands: "Jing Zhaoyin, follow me to the imperial study!" ”

"Yes!"

Jing Zhaoyin responded and asked Su Li to stand up.

The knee has long been unconscious, and after the person is suspended in the air, the leg is stretched and the pain is piercing, Su Li gritted her teeth and snorted.

The voice was very small, no one heard it, and even if it did, no one dared to pay attention to it, after all, Su Li was now suspected of murdering the emperor's heir.

All the way to the imperial study, Su Li was escorted to kneel again, her face was so painful that she lost blood.

"Your Majesty, the old minister ......"

Jing Zhaoyin was just about to speak, but Zhang De, the head of internal affairs, ran in and said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Xiaoyao has been waiting in the side hall since the afternoon, and he hasn't stopped here, look ......?"

"Let him wait!"

Chu Lingzhao ordered, his voice was deep, not angry and arrogant, Zhang De hurriedly retreated.

"What did Aiqing want to say?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, Jing Zhaoyin immediately took back Fang Cai's thoughts and replied: "Your Majesty, the calligraphy and paintings in the Niangniang Palace have been taken to the Tai Hospital for examination, and it is determined that the ink is mixed with purple weaving, and the portrait is hung in the Niangniang Palace, which is opposite to Niangniang day and night, which will cause the accumulation of toxins in Niangniang's body." ”

"So, this Shiori is the culprit?"

"It's not entirety, although Zi Weaving is poisonous, the toxicity is extremely slow, it will take at least seven or eight months to break out, Niang Niang broke out today, because she accidentally ate the Ushi that is compatible with Zi Weaving, Wu Shi was originally a nourishing thing, once mixed with Zi Weaving, its effect is no different from musk, Niang Niang and the imperial heir in the womb will be so dangerous today!"

Su Li didn't know what Zi Weaving was, but she knew Musk, which was extremely harmful to those who were pregnant.

If this poison is really as dangerous as Jing Zhaoyin said, Su Bangyue and the child in the womb can be regarded as walking around the ghost gate.

"Can you find out where this purple weaving came from?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Zi Weaving came from a small pharmacy in the south of the city, the pharmacy was opened by a father and son, and on the way to arrest in the afternoon, the father and son said some nonsense, which seemed to have something to do with Miss Su San, and the minister did not dare to make a conclusion, so he brought Miss Su to the front of the palace together."

"What about father and son?"

Chu Lingzhao asked, not in a hurry to interrogate Su Li, Jing Zhaoyin immediately asked the young man to be escorted in: "This son's father has bitten his tongue, and he has already asked a doctor to rescue him, and he is afraid that it will take a few days before he can speak." ”

The young man Xu was not very peaceful, he was beaten by the guards, there were a few bruises on his face, and his clothes and hair were scattered, which was quite embarrassing.

Even in front of the emperor, he glared at Su Li viciously, as if Su Li had done something heinous.

"What are you looking at her like that?"

Chu Lingzhao pointed at Su Li and said, the young man looked stubborn and unyielding, and squinted at Su Li: "She buys medicine to harm people, and it affects her father!" The young man was convincing, and he insisted that Su Li had done something harmful.

"What medicine did she buy?"

"Shiori! In our hometown, it is called Juzi grass, which is mashed and applied to the feet, which can cure beriberi, and the dosage is moderate and can also be used in combination with other medicines to cure some dysentery. "The young man understands some medical science, and what he says is orderly.

Chu Lingzhao nodded slightly, and turned his head to look at Su Li: "What do you have to say?" ”

"The folk girl wants to ask this little brother, according to what you said, the folk girl once bought purple weaving in your pharmacy, so did the folk girl tell you that she wanted to use this thing to harm people?"

"No!" The young man shook his head: "If you want to harm people, how can you tell me so stupidly and blatantly?" ”

"Then why do you insist that I have done something harmful?" Su Li asked rhetorically, looking at the young man with clear eyes.

This young man is really small, his facial features have not yet grown, he is thin and childish, Su Li and he have never been masked, and they can't understand why he is so sure that he has gone to his pharmacy to buy things.

"My shop is small, the purple weaving thing is very cheap, the square is biased, no one will buy it on weekdays, when you come to buy it, my father feels strange, but I can't stand your hard pleading, so I went to find it for you, after getting this thing, you gave a large amount of money to my father, we must keep this secret, can not tell others, today the officers and soldiers came, I guessed that you did bad things with that thing!"

Guess?

A little young man, who doesn't know what major things have happened, starts to bite others based on his own guesses, what is the reason? ?

Su Li was a little angry in her heart, and she looked up at Chu Lingzhao: "Since this little brother said that the folk girl had gone to buy Zi Weaving, there must be time and physical evidence, the little brother might as well tell me when and what kind of clothes the folk girl wore to buy this thing!" ”

"On the night of the second day of the new year, the girl came alone, and as she did today, wearing a cloak, covering most of her face, and carrying a lantern in her hand, you persuaded my father to find the purple weave for you, and told my father to put it under the big stone at the back door of the Hou Mansion, as for when you went to get it, I don't know."

The young man even remembered Su Li's dress clearly, Su Li thought about it, on the night of the second day of junior high school, Chu Liu gave her a separate courtyard, in that courtyard, she and Sizhu tore their faces, and asked Sizhu to pay the price for the death of He'er, after Sizhu left, she began to draw the picture of mother and child safety.

The painting was painted behind Chu Huai'an's back, no one saw what she was doing during that time, and how others wanted to fabricate it was all up to one mouth.

"Did anyone else see that night?"

"No! It was almost nighttime, there was no one on the street, and my father and I were ready to close the door and go to bed. The boy replied, his voice steady, not trembling nervously from being in front of the Emperor.

He is so calm, but it seems that others are not as determined as a child like him.

Su Li looked at him calmly, not flustered: "According to what you said, I went to buy Zi Weaving and plotted to do something bad, do you know what I did with it?" ”

"What?"

"I smashed it into ink to make a painting, and gave it to today's Su Guifei, that is, the eldest sister of my in-laws, and now she and the imperial heir in her womb are uncertain, this is the capital crime of the Zhulian Nine Clans, I am the culprit, I am afraid that just cutting off the head is too cheap for me, I am afraid that it will be punished Ling Chi, that is, the flesh and blood on the body will be cut off piece by piece, until death!"

Su Li described the consequences of this incident little by little, and the young man's eyes flashed with surprise, and finally turned into panic.

He didn't know, he didn't know what kind of catastrophe that Shiori had caused, and he didn't know what he meant by what he said categorically.

He didn't know, so Su Li told him to know!

"You ......"

The young man opened his mouth, pointing at Su Li but didn't know what to say, Su Li tilted his head and winked playfully: "Although you and your father don't know, you can be regarded as accomplices, the safety of the concubine and the imperial heir in the womb is not trivial, even if there is the slightest mistake, the people involved in the case must be severely punished, of course, not only you and your father, but also your relatives in the family......"

"You talk nonsense!"

The young man's eyes widened in horror to interrupt Su Li's words, Su Li stopped and looked at him softly: "Is it me talking nonsense or are you talking nonsense, shouldn't you know better than me?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The boy was silent, his little face was pale, and he was no longer as fearless as he had just been.

Su Li no longer looked at him, and leaned over with her head on the ground: "Your Majesty, the picture of the peace of the mother and son was drawn by the people's daughter, but the people's daughter has a clear conscience!" ”

Jing Zhaoyin: "......"

This is a big crime of murdering the emperor's heir, and you brought it over with a clear conscience?

Jing Zhao Yin's stomach was slandered, his old face twitched, and he was about to speak, when there was a commotion at the door, Chu Huai'an ignored the obstruction of the guards outside the door, and forced his way in.

"Your Majesty! This case is very related to the people in the minister's house, and the minister asks to observe this case! ”

"Sincerely, this is the Imperial Front, have you forgotten all the rules?" Chu Lingzhao reminded in a deep voice, if others trespassed on the Imperial Palace, they would have been taken down by the Imperial Forest Army and lost Dali Temple, where could they still stand here and talk?

Chu Huai'an walked to Su Li's side and knelt down: "The minister is reckless, if Your Majesty wants to punish the crime, when this case is closed, the minister will dispose of it by Your Majesty!" ”

Chu Lingzhao glanced at him deeply, didn't say anything more, and looked at the young man again: "She lives in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and now the Xiaoyao Hou is also here, you repeat what you just said." ”

The young man hadn't recovered from the shock just now, and was suddenly startled by Chu Lingzhao's name, and saw Chu Huai'an staring at him directly, his eyes dodging.

"First ...... On the night of her second year of junior high school, she ...... She wore a cape, covered her face, and carried a lantern...... Come buy ...... Purple Weaving"

"The second year of junior high school?" Chu Huai'an asked questions, interrupting the young man's voice, the young man was already nervous, and when he interrupted him like this, he rolled his eyes and fainted directly.

Chu Huai'an: "......"

Did he say or do something? It just scared people out like that?

"Your Majesty, fainted, and ...... Do you still need to be tried? ”

Jing Zhaoyin probed the young man's snort and asked, after staying up for most of the night, Chu Lingzhao was very tired, and when he saw Chu Huai'an, he had a headache, and waved his hand and said: "This case will be transferred to Dali Temple first, and then make a decision when Zhao Aiqing investigates more evidence." ”

"Yes!"

Jing Zhaoyin agreed, and wanted to call someone to take Su Li away, and when he saw Chu Huai'an, he was immediately embarrassed: "Your Majesty, then the Hou Ye is ......"

"If you don't listen to the dissuasion, you can break into the palace at night, and lock it in together!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Be! ”
