Chapter 50: The Second Part of the Murder Investigation

If you don't have a family reputation and talent, it is difficult to be an official in the Jin Dynasty, Wang Shu never felt that he had the talent to be an official, but Xie An seemed to have a lot of confidence in him, this confidence is similar to Wang Dao, in the past, people said that he was demented, but Wang Dao could see that he was different.

Although Wang Shu didn't quite understand how capable he was, what was he afraid of for a ten-year-old boy to dare to do?

Xie An was not in a hurry to go out, just rummaged in the study for the spices in the box, he was not at home for most of the year, and he did not have time to replenish after the incense of the past was used up, plus the spices were all transported from the Western Regions, and now there are Hu people in the north who are in turmoil, and the spice mutual aid in the south has been greatly reduced.

"The material of the medicinal incense? Do you know how to make incense? Wang Shu has a very sharp nose, serving his mother on the sickbed all the year round, he is more familiar with medicinal materials than ordinary people, looking at the strips of medicinal materials in Xie An's hand that are slightly thinner than his fingers, he asked, "What kind of medicine is this?" ”

"Yuanzhi."

Xie An sniffed the brownish-yellow branches, and then took out a knife to slice the medicinal root, and then grinded it with a pestle, which took a lot of effort to grind, but he was surprisingly patient, and after half an hour, he finally grinded out some powder, and his hands were sore.

He only had a first understanding of the method of making incense, and he didn't dare to do it again, and he didn't have enough materials at hand, so he finally had to give up. ”

"Originally, I wanted to find Yuanzhi to plant, and when the time came, I would use the materials I planted to make incense and give it away, but unfortunately the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and this Yuanzhi was not found, but ran into the assassination."

Only then did Wang Shu know that Xie An was talking in a homely tone about the assassination of the first emperor that day and his subsequent abduction.

Taicheng is the old palace, the Imperial Medical Department has to plant some herbs in the corners of these wild grass and flowers, Yuanzhi blooms purple flowers, July is the last season of flowering, last year Xie An wanted to find Yuanzhi when even the fruit period passed, if it wasn't for the people of the Imperial Medical Department, the huge Taicheng, he had to work hard to find Yuanzhi.

At that time, he found a lot of flowers and plants in Taicheng, and the flowering ones were given to Wang Xizhi, and the unflowering Yuanzhi also planned to send it to her small courtyard to plant, because he always felt that the yard was empty, and Wang Xizhi was so young that a girl practiced calligraphy lonely, and she had to be accompanied by more flowers and plants.

It was that time of searching, he bumped into Song Yi and the first emperor's tryst in the wasteland where Yuanzhi was planted, and then thought about it, the two should have met in private a lot of times, otherwise the first emperor would not have relaxed his vigilance so quickly.

The coincidences in the world will not fall on his head one by one, this kind of coincidence gradually has a vague answer in his heart, no matter what, he is always a weightless chess piece on the chessboard, according to Song Yi, she has long poisoned the mind of the first emperor, but Ge Hong came to Jiankang because his life was dying, which indirectly made Song Yi give up the action, and the first emperor postponed his death for four years, all by him.

Although he did not get a definite answer, Xie An bet that Song Yi's killing technique was taught by Sima Zong, and judging from all indications, Sima Zong was full of the words "This king wants to rebel", and the owner of Luoxinglou was his subordinate, and Luoxinglou kidnapped the son of Xu Ru, the commander of Siyan, and helped the Qian family in Guangling, these two crimes are enough to classify a king of Nanton into the realm of a rebellious minister and thief.

Song Yi's backer has been throughout Jiankang several times, and now the most reliable is only Sima Zong, and Sima Rui, the founding emperor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was also listed as a suspect by Xie An, because Song Yi was Wang Dun's pillow person, Sima Rui was overwhelmed by Wang Dun and Wang Dao at that time, and the only way to use the simplest and most effective method was to install his own eyeliner around Wang Dun.

But Sima Rui is dead, Wang Dun is also dead, after the dust is gone, Song Yi relied on Sima Zong, and it was natural for him to kill the first emperor under his instructions, after all, fratricidal killing is a tradition left over from the rebellion of the eight kings of the Sima clan.

As long as the first emperor died, Sima Yi and Sima Zong would be able to enter the court and compete with Yu Liang justifiably.

The truth is only known to Song Yi, Xie An is no longer entangled in this, the only thing he can conclude is that someone deliberately led him to meet Song Yi's assassination that day, and Song Yi took him hostage in order to fight against the dormant Xie Shang.

Xie Shang knew that Song Yi was a murderous enemy and could endure it for several years, but he caught up with him as soon as Song Yi escaped from Jiankang with Xie An, which proved that Xie Shang had already received the news.

Xie Shang's dormancy must have been given by Director Wang.

Therefore, in the matter of the assassination of the first emperor, Wang Dao and Sima Zong both knew it, but Wang Dao underestimated Song Yi and underestimated the vigilance of the first emperor, and Sima Zong's side must have known that Wang Dao sent Xie Shang to ambush, so he deliberately let Xie An bump into this matter and become a hostage.

……

Wang Shu saw that Xie An was silent for a long time, his brows were tightly wrinkled, if it weren't for the soothing incense in the room, he was afraid that Xie An's expression would be even more ugly.

"Go to the Imperial Doctor's Office." Xie An saw Wang Shu's blank face, and added, "Let's just say that my sister-in-law has been tired recently, and I will go with you to ask for some medicinal materials, well, because of my master and second brother, the Imperial Medical Department is quite familiar with my family." ”

Wang Shu glanced out of the door, "When I just visited, your sister spoke, and I must not let you go out these days." ”

Xie An quickly changed his clothes to go out, poked his head out of the screen and said, "Of course it slipped through the back door, let me do nothing at home, what's the difference between killing me." ”

"And isn't Lord Situ just going to test me? Otherwise, how could I let you see me? He knows that I have nothing now, and only you, Brother Huaizu, can help me. ”

Wang Shu felt pressured, and only then did he face up to the fact that Xie An was only ten years old, thinking that when he was ten years old, he relied on his father's protection and lived without burden, and Xie An ...... Gan Luo was able to send an envoy to Zhao at the age of twelve, and used a plan to let Qin get dozens of cities, and was worshiped by Qin Shi Huang as a secretary, Wang Shu thought that if it were not for the constraints of the nine-grade Zhongzheng system, I was afraid that Xie An would be able to do something great when he was twelve or thirteen years old, right?

No, now Xie An seems to be using his authority to do a big thing that no one dares to touch, Wang Shu was inexplicably excited, and he faded from the initial shock, he felt that following Xie An to investigate the case was no different from going to the door.

Xie An went to the Imperial Medical Department to find a little eunuch named Hehuan, Hehuan has studied medicine in the Imperial Medical Department since he was a child, and is most familiar with the distribution of herbal medicines in the palace, Xie An often went to the palace to accompany the prince to study in those years, and often went to the Imperial Medical Department to help the second brother get medicine, or went to ask for some medicine to study.

Hehuan is not very old, in his early twenties, because he is a eunuch, he is younger than ordinary peers, and he greets everyone with a smile.

The place where Yuanzhi planted was told to Xie An by Hehuan, and naturally became Xie An's first suspect.

After the assassination of the first emperor, he did not die, but dragged on for several months, although there were medicine and treatment from Ge Hong and Wei Huacun, but he was unable to return to the sky, and the pressure on the Tai Yi Department was greater than that of any department, and at that time, everyone's life in the Tai Yi Department was not their own, and they had to touch their necks every day when they woke up, and they sighed that they had lived one more day.

Fortunately, when the first emperor returned to heaven, Nanyue's wife Wei Hua was kind and said a few good words for the Imperial Doctor's Office, and finally eliminated the anger of the Yu brothers and sisters.

Things have passed, and now the Taiyi Department is finally no longer lifeless, but I don't know if Hehuan is still there.

"Acacia?" A Song imperial physician who was good friends with the second brother was copying the prescription, and the apprentice little eunuch was hurriedly helping to find the fetal medicine that Xie An wanted, and the imperial physician sighed, "Hehuan has always been diligent, I am really a little busy when he leaves, this little apprentice is clumsy, and he reads little, and he barely passed the test after teaching for more than half a year...... Ah Shou, don't panic and get the wrong amount. ”

The little inner eunuch named Ah Shou looked a few years older than Xie An, his face was red and his hands were shaking at the moment, and his head was as low as a quail.

Imperial Physician Song smiled, "This kid is already shy, but when he sees the little Langjun he likes, it's okay not to faint, if you give him a few more words, I'm afraid that he will hang on the head of the bed and won't be able to sleep all night." ”

didn't think that the Imperial Medical Department still had its own fans, Xie An hurriedly said: "I didn't bring pen and ink, I borrowed my brother's pen and ink to write casually." ”

Imperial Physician Song waved his hand, "I'll just tell you casually, what is their identity, and how can they deserve your handwriting?" He couldn't stand it either. By the way, you want to find Hehuan, he has now climbed the high branch and flown away, after all, the Tai Yi Department is not a good place to stay, and he will not be rewarded if he is cured well on weekdays, if he can't be cured, he will lose his head, Hehuan has a backer, and now he is chasing a backer. ”

"Backer?" Xie An picked up a pen while asking, licked the ink and scribbled on a medicine note, the eunuchs of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were mediocre, and they could hardly make any waves, as far as the nearest eunuch was Dong Meng, the henchman of Jia Nanfeng, the queen of the Western Jin Dynasty, who was killed by several princes of the Sima clan during the Eight Kings Rebellion, and removed many eunuchs.

Dong Meng's death is only thirty years ago, and the Eastern Jin Dynasty has changed three emperors from the founding of the country to the present, but there is no expansion of the power of any older eunuchs, and when Wang Dun attacked Taicheng and forced Sima Rui to death, he also killed those henchmen around him, and the inner eunuchs in the palace have lived a quiet war so far.

Imperial Physician Song said lightly: "Auspicious Ruyi, Hehuan Fulu, the first two are the personal internal supervisors of King Nanton, Fulu is the chief supervisor of the Xiyang royal family, as for Hehuan, he is Ruyi's godson, he was sent to the Taiyi Department by King Xiyang to study medicine since he was a child, the two princes have a deep brotherhood since childhood, that is, they separated after the river, Ruyi was given to King Nanton by King Xiyang, saying that he lacked people to take care of him. ”

Xie An thought about it, Jixiang had seen it that night, this fangs and claws were lining Sima Zong's calm temperament, and Ruyi had never seen or heard of it.

"Although Ruyi is studying medicine, he is better at making drugs, and he sent Hehuan to learn medicine mostly to get a helper for his own preferences." Imperial Physician Song looked disdainful, "Ruyi arrested an unknown number of homeless people to test the medicine back then...... Alas, the dirty things that Ruyi did didn't say and polluted your ears, but it's a pity that Hehuan is a good seedling. ”

"So Hehuan has returned to the Nanton Palace?" Xie An finally got the answer he wanted, but he was a little frustrated that he couldn't catch someone.

Imperial Physician Song shook his head, "Probably going back, I can't say, what are you looking for Hehuan?" ”

Xie An smiled slightly, "Hehuan asked me for something before and never returned it, but now I can't see him in person, I heard you say that Ruyi is also weird and terrible, that thing is gone." ”

After chatting, Xie An asked Wang Shu, who was teasing his baby son on the side, to take the medicine and leave, and when he left, he gave the drawn Yuanzhi map to the little inner supervisor Ah Shou, so that the young man almost didn't faint, but he didn't go far out of the Tai Doctor Office, and the little inner eunuch Ah Shou, who didn't dare to look at Xie An just now, chased after him.

Ah Shou panted and said to Xie An: "If San Lang wants to get things back, you can go to the Du Florist of Tai Academy to come forward." ”

As soon as he heard the name of the gardener, Xie An became nervous inexplicably, "Why?" ”

"Because, because ......," Ah Shou said softly, "Du Huachang is Ruyi's master...... Ruyi was very afraid of him, Hehuan didn't want to go back to Nanton Palace, Hehuan liked to stay in the Imperial Doctor's Office, but Du Huajiang sent a message, so that Hehuan was not allowed to stay in the palace in the future, and if he stepped into the palace, he would cut off his leg. ”

"It's just a gardener, and his mouth is so big!" Xie Anxin was shocked and deliberately contemptuous.

Ah Shou shook his head eagerly at him, "San Lang can't say this everywhere, this Du gardener is the ancestor of our palace, I heard the old people say that when we didn't move into Taicheng to live, this Du gardener planted flowers and plants here, and the herbs in this palace were all planted by him." ”

"After so many years, he hasn't grown old, and everyone has rumored that he has cultivated occult arts, but he doesn't usually show it."

It is rare for this little inner eunuch who is afraid of life to say so many words in one breath, Xie An accepted so much information at once, but he felt a little like falling into the clouds.

Du Florist watched Xie An and Sima Yan grow up, and there are only a few people in the huge Tai Academy on weekdays, and whenever they are practicing calligraphy and reading, Du Florist will smile and arrange flowers and plants on the side.

Such a low-key person, if Xie An hadn't gone to the East China Sea and met the man in red, he would not have paid attention to Du Yu, there are countless people who cultivate immortals and seek the Tao in this world, but only a few people can get the "immortal name", Taoism prevailed in the early days of Buddhism, people's helplessness and despair of reality can only be pinned on faith for relief and hope.

Du Yu can say "Emperor Wang's spring heart to cuckoo", he guards the Qingyun Tower, he stayed here before the Jin Chamber crossed the river, maybe he has been guarding for many years, his sense of existence is so low that it is almost transparent, but he is the ancestor and the old fairy passed down by the slaves and maids in the Taicheng Palace.

Suddenly found out that Du Yu had a relationship with the King of Nanton, which made Xie An uneasy, if this person is really as the man in red said, he must be deeply hidden, let alone kill him, Xie An always feels that he should not have anything to do with someone of unknown origin.

Wang Shu saw Xie An in a daze, and couldn't help asking, "Is the Du florist going to meet him?" It's amazing, I've never heard of this person. ”
