Chapter 266: The Puzzle
Goyu Hutong and Yanle Hutong are the locations of the Ming Dynasty Jiaofang Division, which were originally only the habitat of the people in the Jiaofang Division, but over time, those private prostitutes and so on are often gathered in several alleys nearby. Even if there are officials and the rule that the children can't sleep in the willows, but now that it is the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the government is not as strict as before, so even if there are people who wear scarves to enter these places, the officials or the people of the Dongcheng Soldiers and Horses Division see it, they should not see it.
However, the servants turned a blind eye to the peacetime, and now it is a national funeral, and these places that have received benefits in the peacetime, they have come extremely diligently, which is nothing more than a warning not to think about money and go crazy and hit the tip of the knife on the tip of the knife. As a result, a Fuli Pavilion near Yanle Hutong Pingshuruo City was closed for several days, but whenever he heard a knock on the door, the bustard was lazy. On this day, when there was another knock on the door underneath, her face suddenly stretched like a donkey's face.
"Here we go again, it's still over!"
Indignant, she went to open the door herself, but as soon as the door was opened, several servants rushed in and knocked her aside. Startled, she saw these people rushing upstairs, and hurriedly shouted: "Yang Jiuye, the girls upstairs haven't gotten up yet!" ”
"Fart!" The head catcher at the head of the group motioned to the others to go upstairs quickly, and when they waited for someone to kick open the door and break in, there were women's exclamations one after another, mixed with the man's voice in the middle, he smiled coldly and turned to look at the old bustard and said, "Is this not up?" said that you didn't allow them to pick up customers these days, and you actually gave me yang and yin? To tell you the truth, Lao Tzu came back with a strict order from the top to investigate a key criminal, if you really find people out from you, not to mention your owner, even the characters behind your owner can't afford to be guilty! ”
Before the old bustard could answer, he saw a few naked people being pulled out of the house, and he was shocked and angry for a while, but when he heard the two words that he was going to commit a crime, he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he had to snort angrily and said, "What kind of offender dares to run to this kind of fireworks land in broad daylight, he won't die......
"Boss, it's dead!"
As soon as Yang Jiuye heard this, he no longer had time to pay attention to the old bustard, and rushed upstairs on his feet, and walked into one of the rooms in three or two steps, and saw a man lying on a bed with a dagger in his heart, and a woman with bright makeup with scars everywhere on her upper body was curled up on the ground, her face was blue and obviously out of breath, he couldn't help but gasp, and when he turned around, he saw that the old bustard had come up, and was standing at the door dumbfounded, he didn't care about anything else for a while, stepped forward and dragged her by the collar, pointing to this scene and shouting:" I ask you, what's going on? ”
"Holy, I really don't know! My Xiaoyue, why are you dead, my good daughter, it must have killed you with a thousand knives! ”
Seeing that there was nothing superfluous, Yang Jiuye couldn't help but snort coldly and threw the old bustard aside, went up to check the situation of the two of them again, and then looked at the messy scene in the room, he had seven or eight points in his heart. When he turned his head to check the walls on both sides of the room, he only knocked on it and frowned thoughtfully, and when he went outside, he ordered someone to measure the two rooms on the left and right, and as soon as the size was reported, he immediately understood that this room was specially made, and the distance between the walls and the left and right doors was very large, not to mention, and it was filled with sand and stone soundproofing, I am afraid that it was originally designed for those guests with special needs. Now these two people are lying here, but no one knows about it, but I am afraid that the guest has played too much and has been counterattacked.
However, when the servant on the side took a picture and compared it, and nodded slightly at him, his face immediately lengthened, and he glanced at the old bustard who was still crying and grabbing the ground, but he wanted to strangle this damn woman to death. It's a good thing to find the main master, but what you find is a dead man, will he do this head hunt in the future?
The chaotic momentum of this Fuli Pavilion was on the second floor of a little-known private nest opposite, and the two of them could see it clearly. The bald man in front of him, forty miles away, saw a group of messengers going in and out, his brows were frowning tightly, and then an old servant looked at this scene and couldn't help but whisper: "Look at this posture, it must have been ordered from above." ”
"I just don't know if it's Jiao Fang or His Royal Highness the Prince. Fortunately, I have been planning since I learned of the death of the Son of Heaven, otherwise it would have been too late to get out. Liu Wentai was imprisoned, he was determined to give up for himself, and it was only a matter of time before Dan Fang was recruited. This guy would get drunk and vomit out that the prince and Jiao Fang were both pretending to be sick, and it is very likely that he had already revealed the matter of me giving him Danfang to others, and it was not surprising that Jiao Fang knew...... It's really a hell of a life, I just want to stir up the situation, let the Son of Heaven indulge in alchemy and so on like a few years ago, and let the court be chaotic and careless, but things will actually progress to this point! ”
"But the death of the Son of Heaven, wouldn't it be more beneficial to Mr.?"
"Variables that are not planned, even if they are good, should not be taken lightly. Just close the window, there's nothing to see. That's the stand-in I've been preparing for a long time, and he's been blessed for me for so long, and now it's time to give me a life. By the way, Jiao Fang has a close past with Liu Jin of the Bell and Drum Division, you find a chance to get that Xu Jin out, now he is useless to Jiao Fang, but I may still be useful if I keep it. ”
Mr. Luo hit his forehead with his hand, and no longer had the heart to look at the scene outside the window, so he turned around and walked in without looking back. When he got to his seat and sat down, he casually picked up the tea that was already cold on the side and took a sip, dipped his hand in cold water and wrote and drew on the table. Writing and painting to the end, he thought of the eunuch who gave gifts to the East Palace before, or worked Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai, he continued to do it after taking over, he thought that he would simply come to capture it with one hand, but after all, it was a newcomer, although the sudden death of the emperor was unnatural, but in addition to the two Danfang, he couldn't find anything more related to himself.
"I am indeed Yizi's Dan prescription, at most, it makes the Son of Heaven consume the essence so that his spirit is not good, and he will not ask for his surname, this secret recipe has been used many times before, if it is poisonous or useless, Liu Wentai is a human essence, and he is not incompetent, how can he not see it, is it really just that those quacks are like misdiagnosed Xianmiao back then, and this time it is just a misdiagnosis?"
Liu Wentai, who changed into clean clothes during interrogation and finally had to get rid of the rat's mouth, was also much more energetic than before. Blame everything on those two Dan Fangs, plus when he received the gold, he deliberately asked that Di Luo to write an article, saying that if there is a chance to present it to the emperor, this will leave evidence, and it is very possible to shirk responsibility with these. Thinking of this, he leaned against the wall and sighed softly.
In all fairness, Emperor Hongzhi was naturally very good to him, and he had always tried his best, but God knows that the only mistake in the past ten years not only cost the Son of Heaven's life, but even he himself fell into the current situation. Even if the emperor was erysipelas, those tonics were at most slightly hot and temperate, how could they suddenly be so hot?
After thinking about it, he couldn't figure it out, but he was really tired, and he gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep. After all, he didn't close his eyes at all these days when he was only worried about being gnawed by rats as soon as he fell asleep. He fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how long it took, but he faintly heard the sound of knocking on the wooden fence outside, and he suddenly woke up, and when he looked up, he saw that it was a strange jailer, and his heart moved and crawled over.
"Liu Wentai, the queen mother told me to bring you a message."
For Liu Wentai, who just escaped today, even if this sentence is just a straw handed to the man who fell into the water, it is also the straw that he must hold onto. So, he almost immediately straightened his clothes and knelt down, and then bowed his head respectfully and replied: "The guilty minister respectfully listens to the queen's decree." ”
"Niangniang said, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has made up his mind, and many civil and military officials have written to severely punish you, and the most she can do is to spare your life. But when the time comes, if you don't say any nonsense to ruin the reputation of Emperor Daxing, even if you are sentenced to death, she will try to find a way for you to live. ”
Hearing these words in his ears, Liu Wentai only felt a burst of ecstasy, and for a while he hurriedly thanked Dade and kowtowed to thank him. Seeing that the man was leaving, he suddenly hurriedly stretched out his hand to the wooden fence and said, "This military master, this military master!" Please also tell my mother, just say that Liu Wentai has been convicted, and beg her to give the Liu family another chance for the sake of my dedication back then, the Liu family has practiced medicine for generations, and the female doctor is no one who can beat my Liu family woman...... In addition, Emperor Daxing was worried about the Materia Medica at the last moment, and begged Niangniang to publish the Materia Medica, so as to live up to the painstaking efforts of the Emperor Daxing to sympathize with his subjects. ”
Although the man just nodded slightly and went straight, Liu Wentai still collapsed to the ground with relief, and when he reached out to wipe his forehead, he found that his hands were greasy, but his heart was full of excitement that he might get out of the robbery.
In Kunning Palace, when Empress Zhang listened to her confidant female official Zhang Yuyu report about Liu Wentai's relay, she let out a long breath, and then lay down again. At that time, Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao teamed up to say that she was moved, but after thinking about it, she felt that she couldn't let Liu Wentai ruin her husband's reputation, and Zhang Yu advised her because of this matter, so she gradually came up with such a plan to delay the army. At this moment, when the female official came up to tuck her quilt, she suddenly said: "If you want to really do it once and for all, you still have to die for a hundred years." ”
"That's right, but Niangniang, think about it, that Xu Xun is the most favored by His Royal Highness the Prince, and now he supervises people, if he dies inexplicably, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry, isn't he unlucky? Shou Ninghou is now good with him, and even with the little marquis, he has made great progress, and if he is involved, wouldn't it hurt others and not himself? If you want to clean up the whole thing, when the people are transferred out to be guarded by Yousi, just use some small methods, after all, there are many people like Qian Ning who dare not disobey Niangniang's orders. ”
"Yes, yes, or you're right." Empress Zhang nodded again and again, nodded approvingly at Zhang Yu, and then said thoughtfully, "When Liu Wentai is dead, the rest of the Liu family will not be implicated, his grandson is said to have obtained some true medical skills from him, although he can no longer use the imperial doctor, give some silver secretly." There is also Materia Medica, the emperor used so much effort back then, and it was a pity to put it on hold, and it was printed and published in the world, which can be regarded as my fulfillment of his wish......"
Listening to Empress Zhang's words, her expression gradually became confused, Zhang Yu said yes to herself, her eyes were respectful and respectful: "Niangniang is thoughtful, if the emperor can know in the sky, it must be very gratifying." ”
