Chapter 157: The Wicked
Hearing this sarcastic words, Cheng Qing's face changed a few times, and he didn't mind Zhao Xian's contemptuous gaze, and snorted: "That old thing is arrogant and conceited and never believes me, this time I caught the wrong medicine and implicated my wife and children in prison, I deserve it, if I am asked to treat the emperor, how can this happen." ”
Zhao Xian's heart moved slightly, revealing a smile: "Cheng Imperial Doctor, you seem to have a deep relationship with your master." ”
"Humph!" A trace of resentment flashed in Cheng Qing's eyes: "I have followed him since I was a child, worked hard to build a pharmacy for him, accompanied him when I went out to practice medicine, worked hard and complained about him for so many years, he had no children under his knees, and I fulfilled the obligation of a righteous son, and now I just want him to marry the wind girl to me, he actually shirked it several times on the grounds that the wind girl didn't want to marry people, which is okay, but he let the wind girl associate with those powerful children behind my back, and he also plans to give Jishitang's property to his nephew, and so on, how do you let me respect him and be filial to him?" ”
Zhao Xian nodded thoughtfully, if this is the case, you should indeed be ruthless to the old imperial doctor, after all, people have been your son for half your life, but you don't even leave a little property for others when you are old, which is really too much.
But ruthlessly, you have been dressed for many years, and people have not raised you for so many years? Even if you hate your master, you shouldn't drag his wife and children into the water, why do you like the wind girl to drag her into the water, what really makes you ruthless should be that the property of the Jishitang is not left to you, right?
Zhao Xian can't say whether he is right or wrong, there is a reason why Cheng Qing did not honor his master, and Zhao Xian can't interfere with other people's feelings to force him to honor a person who doesn't want to be honored, but the Feng family's Shangguan family is innocent, and he must make Cheng Qing give up the idea of revenge.
Zhao Xian touched a silver needle in his arms, which was prepared for him by Huayu, which could make people talk nonsense for a while, just like a madman, he temporarily became a madman, so he naturally resolved the matter, and he didn't have to kill his mouth.
Zhao Xian looked at the indignant Cheng Qing, and said thoughtfully: "Because of all the above, you are resentful, and deliberately fabricate that there is a problem with the medicine residue, and slander the old lady Feng and others, so that his wife and children will end up in prison, so as to take revenge on them, right?" ”
Qian Wen's eyes lit up, and he felt that there was some possibility, if he was resentful, it was normal to do this kind of thing. Even if there is no problem with the dregs that Cheng Qing fabricated, there is no good result when the matter is reported to the emperor, if the emperor knows about these messy things, the emperor who is immersed in the grief of the death of the former emperor must not wipe Cheng Qing and the family of the imperial doctor, will Cheng Qing beat this broken jar and die together?
"Y-You!" Cheng Qing was immediately furious, slammed the table and stood up, pointed at Zhao Xian and said, "What if I'm not filial?" What about identifying one's own master? There was a problem with the medicinal materials, and I was responsible for checking the residue and reporting it truthfully, so how could I slander it? You don't want to spew blood. ”
Zhao Xian put the golden box on the table, opened it, and picked up a medicine block with silver chopsticks: "Cheng Imperial Doctor, I read that you have been wronged by the master and did things without a brain, so I will not pursue you, now I will give you a chance to admit your mistakes, although I have not practiced medicine for a few years, I also recognize medicinal materials, you take a closer look, this is obviously ginseng!" ”
Zhao Xian only hopes that this guy can get to know each other, what things can't be solved in private, what's the benefit of breaking people's homes?
Cheng Qing frowned, leaned over and looked at it carefully, his eyebrows gradually stretched out again, and he sneered: "This is obviously Shang Lu, how could I be wrong if I have been practicing medicine for many years, that old thing has been shrewd all his life, but he has made such a simple mistake when he is old, he really deserves it." ”
This guy is really cold-blooded, Zhao Xian's face sank slightly, and Qian Wen was a little confused, one of these two said it was ginseng and the other said it was Shang Lu, he really didn't know who said it was true.
Zhao Xian thought for a moment, suddenly laughed a few times, and said patiently: "Brother Cheng, don't be joking, I, Zhao Xian, as a loyal and brave uncle of the Great Liang and the general of the expedition to the north, how can I not even recognize the ginseng, you take a closer look." ”
"You, are you Zhao Xian?" Cheng Qing was shocked, he didn't expect that the person who came turned out to be from the Zhenguo Gong's family, but he was not afraid, but pointed at Zhao Xian angrily, and said angrily: "What if you are the grandson of the Zhenguo Gong, what if you can still learn from Zhao Gao, who refers to the deer as a horse, and insist on saying that Shang Lu is a human can't participate?" ”
"How can I learn from that traitor who refers to a deer as a horse!" Zhao Xian put down the chopsticks and said a little helplessly: "This is ginseng, and it will be checked by other imperial doctors later, why do you have to reverse black and white?" It's not good for you to get a big deal, don't you think? ”
Qian Wen didn't know which of the two was real or fake, but he turned his head to look at Zhao Xian with a smile on his face, and a few hints of speculation flashed in his eyes.
This medicinal material is ginseng, and Cheng Qing is taken down, but if it is really Shang Lu, then Zhao Xian is clearly saying good things for the Feng family, and wants to make offerings with Cheng Qing.
If this is the case, as the right commander of the Imperial Forest Army, he is currently in charge of this matter, and it stands to reason that Zhao Xian should be stopped, and then the medicine residue should be presented to the Criminal Department for the imperial doctor to re-examine, but in this case, it will inevitably offend Zhao Xian.
He is the heir of Zhenguo Gong, even if he accuses the emperor of shielding the Feng family, it is impossible to implicate him and push him out to cut down, as long as Zhao Xian does not die, after the incident, it is estimated that it is easier to pinch him to death than to pinch an ant to death.
If you don't stop Zhao Xian from letting him confess, although he will sell Zhao Xian a favor, but in the future, when things get bigger, what should Zhao Xian do if he pushes himself out as a scapegoat?
Qian Wen thought of this and immediately changed color, my mother followed up to do something, isn't this looking for excitement, if Zhao Xian is really pointing at the deer as a horse, he will be in danger when he sees it, so he hurriedly raised his hand and said: "Brother Zhao, you continue to chat, I'll go out and go around first, see if the officials from the Criminal Department are here." ”
Thirty-six plans are the best policy, Qian Wen still thinks it's good to go out and stay with the guards and keep an alibi, whether Zhao Xian is pointing at the deer as a horse or Cheng Qing is talking nonsense, it has nothing to do with him, maybe he can still let Zhao Xian remember the favor, why bother to make himself embarrassed in the middle.
Seeing that Qian Wen retreated, Cheng Qing immediately stood up, glared at Zhao Xian angrily and said, "You, you want to threaten me?" What if it's my master? There is no mistake in my dedication to my duties, even if you are the descendant of Zhenguo Gong, let me lie and admit that I slandered. ”
There were only two people left in the house, and Zhao Xian breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Qian Wen would have to find out, and in order to save the innocent wives and children of the two families, he could only be a villain for a while.
Zhao Xian stood up, looked at the angry Cheng Qing opposite, shook his head and said, "Why bother? Even if you have a grudge against Old Lady Feng and have nothing to do with his family, Shangguan Xiaodong's girl still calls you a big brother, so you can bear to let them be implicated and beheaded together? ”
Cheng Qing still snorted angrily, flicked his sleeves and said: "The medicinal materials are mismatched, this is a real thing, that old thing made a mistake and implicated the family, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Zhao Xian sighed softly, reached out to open the gold box, put the medicine residue inside into a small bag and put it in his arms, and then took out another small cloth bag from his arms and poured the contents inside.
Seeing this, Cheng Qing's eyes were full of incredulity, and he immediately understood that Zhao Xian was going to exchange the evidence, and he couldn't help but rush over in shock and wanted to take the gold box down, but was kicked in the chest by Zhao Xian and rolled over a few times.
Zhao Xian closed the golden box, sat down at the table again, looked at him and said, "Now, it's really ginseng inside, give you one last chance to take a closer look, don't let me down." ”
"You, you..." Cheng Qing stood up holding his chest, and said angrily: "You dare to exchange evidence, do you still have a royal law in your eyes?" The emperor will not spare you, I will definitely denounce you to the emperor. ”
"Wang Fa? How could I not obey the law of the king. Zhao Xian shook his head and smiled: "May I ask the imperial doctor, which eye of yours saw me exchange evidence?" If you are a person, why should you give the lives of your master's family for the sake of momentary anger? There are also women you like, girls who respect you, are you so ruthless? ”
At the same time, Zhao Xian took out the silver needle, the officials of the Criminal Department were about to come, he could only make this guy a madman first, and then have a good chat with him after the matter was over, and he could give him money and power if he wanted it, as long as he shut up.
"Phew!" Cheng Qing trembled all over, and said with blood-red eyes: "You rebellious rebellious thief, you actually reversed black and white in front of me, how did that dead old man buy you, and let you work so hard for him......"
Speaking of this, Cheng Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly pointed at Zhao Xian and said angrily: "I understand, I understand, how could the old man be shrewd and make a mistake about medicinal materials casually in his life, it must be you who instructed him to poison the emperor, and tried his best to protect his family without leaking secrets." Who in the government and the opposition doesn't know that the power of the An family is too powerful to create suspicion, and the emperor will definitely suppress you when you appear, you must have poisoned the emperor for self-preservation, otherwise how could the emperor die so strangely. You are so bold, I will definitely report this matter to the Criminal Department, even if you are the grandson of the Duke of the Kingdom and have a golden scroll to avoid death, you will not be able to escape this great crime of rebellion..."
It is inevitable that Cheng Qing will think so, the old emperor died so coincidentally, it can be said that Zhao Xian has a hundred benefits and no harm, he took advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne and smoothly became the general of Zhengbei and began to take over the affairs of the family, and now he blatantly shields the imperial doctor who prescribes medicine to the old emperor.
Zhao Xian was silent for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, if the matter of saving the Feng family is discovered, it is estimated that there are not a few people who can think of this stubble, this is a big trouble.
He took the silver needle back into his robe, looked at Cheng Youyou and sighed, shook his head and chuckled: "There are some things, you just need to know it, why do you have to say it, what do you want me to do now?" ”
