Yang Guozhong didn't answer, pondered for a moment and asked, "You said that you have investigated this matter in the past two days, what have you found?" ”

Wang Yuan got up and arched his hand and said, "Yang Zuoxiang will wait a while." Then he went to the door of the hall and opened the door, and whispered to the outside, "Invite people in." ”

Someone outside the hall whispered a promise, and a moment later there were footsteps, and a man came in from outside the hall door, and the door slowly closed behind him.

"Mr. Sun, please." Wang Yuan stepped forward and saluted, the man approached slowly, under the light, the crane hair was childish, the body was straight, and he was wearing a black woven robe, but his temperament was extraordinary.

"Bachelor Wang, please." Mr. Sun arched his hand.

"Yang Zuoxiang, this is Mr. Sun Shiqing, the hidden doctor in Zhongnan Mountain, proficient in the art of female yellow, the third lady is to ask him to treat the dark disease, Mr. Sun is low-key, living on the top of the west peak of Zhongnan Mountain, I have been in order to confirm this matter for the past two days, it took a lot of effort to find his immortal traces, specially invited him to Chang'an, I wanted to take him to see Yang Zuoxiang. Mr. Sun, let's meet Zuo Xiang. Wang Yuan said.

Old Man Sun nodded, stepped forward a few steps and said to Yang Guozhong: "Sun Shiqing, an idler outside the party, has seen Yang Zuoxiang. ”

Yang Guozhong stood up, his eyes looked Sun Shiqing up and down, Sun Shiqing's face did not change and stood with his head held high, his expression was neither humble nor arrogant, and he was indifferent.

"Is it you who prepared a secret medicine for Mrs. Qiu Guo to treat her dark disease?"

"Exactly."

Yang Guozhong frowned and said, "When did you start to prepare the secret medicine for Mrs. Qiuguo?" And how did she know that you are not a hermit in the mountains? Is it also famous? ”

Sun Shiqing said: "How can outsiders have any reputation, in fact, Sun doesn't know Mrs. Qiu Guo at all, if it weren't for his friends, Sun would not care about these mundane things." The old man lives in seclusion on the top of Zhongnan Mountain, every day is leisurely, enjoying the mountains and rivers, if it is not for the trust of friends, it doesn't matter who is sick and the old man is sick. ”

Yang Guozhong said in a deep voice: "You are a monk outside the square, how can you have such a magical orpiment? That disease is incurable, how can you have a home remedy for it? ”

"The old man can't be cured." Sun Shiqing said: "That kind of disease is God's punishment, all people who have that kind of disease are not caused by promiscuity, it is caused by looking for flowers and willows, and God will not let people have the possibility of curing this disease, and it is to punish those who are poor and extravagant." ”

Yang Guozhong's face changed color, this hermit spoke unceremoniously, as if he scolded Mrs. Qiu Guo for deserving this disease.

"Ahem...... Mr. Sun, please be careful with your words. Wang Yuan interjected.

Sun Shiqing looked at the sky with his hands down, although he didn't speak, but his face was arrogant.

"You said that you can't be healed well, how can Mrs. Qiu Guo ask someone to find you?"

"Although old decay is not cured, it can delay the disease. There is a unique medicine called Yunsi grass in Zhongnan Mountain, which is born on the top of the mountain and the cloud and mist cliff, and is a good medicine for treating various dark diseases and poisonous sores. I used it to make pills for other ailments, and I limited it to a few good friends. But my friend once misused it on his nephew, who had willow disease, and I didn't expect it to alleviate the pain. So he told me that the drug was also effective for that disease. Four years ago, he was entrusted to ask the old man to use cloud silk grass to dispense medicine for a certain lady in the capital, but the old man refused him at that time. If it weren't for the threat of sending troops to drive us and other hermits out of Zhongnan Mountain and arrest them for punishment, the old man would have categorically refused to use such a precious cloud silk grass to treat such a dirty disease. ”

Sun Shiqing's face was full of disdain, and he seemed to be angry about Mrs. Qiu's persecution.

"Four years? Are you saying that Mrs. Qiu Guo had that dark disease four years ago? ”

"How did the old man know that she had such a dirty disease a few years ago? The old man just responded to her orders, and for four years, a pair of medicines per month required seven cloud silk grasses, and nearly fifty pairs of medicines almost exhausted the precious cloud silk on the cliff of the West Peak. This cloud silk grass has only been on such a small scale in the past hundred years, and it has been ruined alive. Sun Shiqing looked helpless and sighed.

Yang Guozhong knew that these people outside the party were all stunned, and they didn't know that the sky was high and the earth was thick, in their eyes, the nobles and princes and ministers in the court were not as good as a sika deer in the mountains, and they didn't care about the disdain in his words, they only lowered their heads and pondered in a low voice.

Wang Yuan whispered in Yang Guozhong's ear: "Yang Zuoxiang, the lower official found this Mr. Sun, and he knew that what Mrs. said was not just talking, but true." Therefore, Xia Guan judged that his wife's suicide and throwing herself into the lake may be related to that illness. Judging from the situation described by Madame herself, it seemed that the illness was terminal, and even Mr. Sun's medicine could not suppress it. I also asked people, the willow disease will eventually cause the mouth, nose, ears and eyes to ulcerate, and the whole body smells unbearable, presumably Mrs. also knew the final outcome, so she chose to commit suicide by throwing herself into the lake. I don't know what Yang Zuo's judgment on the lower officials is? ”

Yang Guozhong frowned, looked up at Sun Shiqing in front of him, and said, "This Mr. Sun, what you just said is true?" If you want to have half a lie, I can send troops to shovel your nest in Zhongnan Mountain, and put you in prison to torture you. ”

Sun Shiqing said angrily: "Those of you who are officials, you know that you are bullying, Master Wang, I came with you because I looked at your face, but I didn't expect to be so insulted, Master Wang, I misjudged you." I thought that if Mr. Wang wrote those good poems and good sentences, he must be a master, and he made friends with Yashi, but I didn't expect this to be the case. That's it, the Tao is not the same, the old man has said goodbye, don't bother me again, otherwise I would rather jump off the Xiling cliff and die. ”

Wang Yuan hurriedly said: "Mr. Sun, don't be angry, Zuo Xiang doesn't mean that." ”

Sun Shiqing snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and left, not even looking at Yang Guozhong. Yang Guozhong got up and wanted to be angry, but Wang Yuan hurriedly said in a low voice: "Zuo Xiang is angry, give the subordinate a thin face, don't be like him." This Mr. Sun is a good friend of Wang Majie, and if it weren't for Wang Majie's guidance, I wouldn't have been able to find him. If Zuo Xiangru is angry with him, won't it make it difficult for the subordinate officials to explain. ”

Yang Guozhong snorted angrily and sat down slowly.

Wang Yuan shouted loudly: "Send Mr. Sun." ”

The door of the hall opened, and Sun Shiqing was let go out, and his footsteps were knocked away, showing that Sun Shiqing was also full of anger and said goodbye without saying goodbye.

In the hall, Yang Guozhong's suspicion of Wang Yuan has been basically lifted, Wang Yuan is not hiding from a ghost in his heart, but he is also actively investigating the cause of Mrs. Guoguo's death, and the progress is much faster than himself. He ordered to inspect the body of Mrs. Qiu Guo, only to conclude that Mrs. Qiu Guo had indeed drowned. Some of the scars on the body were only caused by the gnawing of fish and shrimp in the lake, but they were not fatal injuries. And the secret disease that I want to know the most can't be detected, even if it is a skilled doctor, you need to check it carefully. and even cut the body to know the disease. This is not only unacceptable to Yang Guozhong, but the rest of the Yang family is also trying their best to oppose it, and they are not allowed to torture and hurt her body when she is Mrs. Guo.

And now, Wang Yuan's words tonight just explained all his doubts, and also confirmed the fact that the third sister has a dark disease and is already terminally ill. Wang Yuan didn't have any problems, but the third sister was a little inauthentic, and almost dragged Wang Yuan into the water, if it wasn't for Wang Yuan's tricks, he was afraid that he would also be infected with that incurable disease.

"Prime Minister Zuo, I will tell you all the things I have found, and my conclusion is that if the third lady did commit suicide, I am afraid that this is the reason. If it wasn't suicide but murder, then the official didn't say it, and Zuo Xiang would find out the real culprit carefully. I originally wanted to tell you all this afternoon by the way, but I was worried that you would not believe such a thing if I told you in the mourning hall, and I was worried that the leakage of the news would greatly damage the reputation of the Yang family, so I stayed up until the evening. ”

"I understand, I understand." Yang Guozhong sighed and patted Wang Yuan's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "You are loyal to my Yang family, and I apologize to you for your attitude just now." I didn't know you had done so much in secret, and I was still suspicious of you, so I'm really sorry. I hope you don't take it to heart. ”

Wang Yuan said with a smile: "Of course I won't take it to heart, the third lady died suddenly, and Zuo Xiang must be in turmoil, so he will naturally be a little uneasy at this time, I understand." The left minister must calm down and not mess up. The Yang family can stabilize the morale of the army if they have the left minister. Tonight's incident, I don't think Zuo Xiang should mention it to anyone, lest it be leaked and someone will take the opportunity to spread rumors and ruin the reputation of the deceased and the Yang family. ”

Yang Guozhong nodded and said: "You and I think the same thing in this section, Wang Yuan, in fact, there is something I hide from you, the third sister left a letter on the Qinghu trestle bridge before throwing herself into the lake, and the reason for suicide was mentioned in the letter, which was because she was terminally ill and in pain. At this moment, with what you said, the cause of the third sister's death is probably exactly like this. Hey, this is indeed retribution, the third sister is plain...... Ay...... Don't say it, don't say it. ”

Wang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, when Yang Guozhong said the content of the letter, he had no doubt about himself, and all the follow-up concealment and deception methods that he had carefully prepared after killing Mrs. Qiu Guo were only completed at this time.
