Chapter 188: Lightning Speed
No matter how you say it, he and Ye Junhao are brothers, and they must not watch them get into danger, and today Shi Xinming did such things to cover up something, which made the emperor even more reluctant to indulge them.
The Queen Mother understood what the emperor meant.
"If you're going to send a doctor over, maybe this audit will have to be put off for a while, but we can have another way now." The Queen Mother said.
A few days later, a few people came to the station, two of them were doctors from the Tai Hospital, and when they saw that Zhan Xingyan was also there, they instantly understood what was happening.
No wonder Zhan Xingyan took a leave a few days ago, and it turned out that he came here.
After Shi Xinming heard that the imperial doctor from the Tai Hospital was coming, he hurriedly sent someone to greet him.
Even he himself personally followed the post station to check the condition of Shi Yingqiu and the others.
At this time, another wave of people suddenly arrived in the palace.
"Come on, go and put up all the account books in this Anseong, and bind them one by one!" The man waved his hand, and immediately many people from behind rushed in and went straight to the study.
When had they ever seen such a scene? The people in the palace hurriedly stopped those people, and one of them stepped forward and said sharply to the person who gave the order: "Who are you, you dare to spread wild in this Ancheng Mansion, aren't you afraid that I will tell Lord Taishou to cut off your heads?" ”
As he spoke, the man who gave the order took out a token from his sleeve, with a command written on it, and a dragon pattern was carved on it, and the token was inlaid with gems.
This is clearly the iconic token used by the emperor to give orders in the imperial court, and it is impossible for them not to have seen it.
When they saw this token, everyone fell to their knees.
The man held the token in one hand and scolded: "Your Majesty's will, the tax revenue of Cha'an City, whoever dares to stop it will be forgiven." ”
Now these people kneeling in the government wanted to go to Taishou to report the news, but looking at the government that had been surrounded, no one dared to go out.
Shi Xinming is not in the government now, these people are kneeling on the ground and trembling, but no one dares to stop them, watching so many account books being packed into boxes and carried away.
In fact, under the care of Zhan Xingyan in the past few days, Ye Junhao's body has gradually improved, Shi Yingqiu himself is pretending to be sick, several people colluded, and he acted in front of Shi Xinming as if he was really critically ill.
Shi Xinming didn't expect things to develop like this.
When a few people behind the imperial doctor suddenly pulled out a knife and put it on Shi Xinming's neck, he hadn't reacted to what was happening.
Shi Xinming looked at the guard with the knife with a frightened look and asked, "You guys...... What do you guys do here? ”
The person who stood in front at the beginning suddenly looked back at Shi Xinming and said with a sneer: "Ancheng is too obedient to Shi Xinming, bold and reckless, he dares to murder King Rong'an and Princess Rong'an, the crime is unforgivable, and he will be detained and imprisoned from now on, and he will make a final decision after all the account books in Ancheng are reviewed." ”
When he heard this, Shi Xinming's face suddenly turned pale, and he understood that what he had done had already been noticed, and now it had been reported to the capital.
But if he didn't admit it, these people probably couldn't do anything, thinking of this, Shi Xinming immediately began to shout injustice.
"Misunderstanding, my lord, these are all misunderstandings, the prince and the princess ate unclean things in Ancheng, this is indeed to blame the lower officials, but this murder of the prince and princess, the lower officials really dare not do it!" Shi Xinming said while shouting again and again that he had been wronged.
When they were asked to come over, another team had already gone to Taishou's house to search, and now they must be coming back soon.
At this time, Zhan Xingyan put a basket of fruits in front of Shi Xinming, pointed at him and said, "If Taishou really has a clear conscience, this is what you sent to the princess, why don't you eat it first?" ”
Seeing the basket of fruits and vegetables, Shi Xinming's face turned white as soon as he brushed it, and it seemed that Shi Yingqiu and they already knew how they poisoned themselves.
"If you don't even dare to eat these things yourself, then why give them to others to eat?" Zhan Xingyan snorted and said coldly.
Just imagine, if Shi Yingqiu hadn't noticed it at the time, or if she had eaten your food here, then everything might have changed now.
When he heard this, Shi Xinming was half-kneeling on the ground and trembling, but he didn't know how to defend himself.
At this time, the person who went to search the house in the Taishou Mansion soon came, and came in with some things in his hand.
"My lord, this was found in the house of Lord Taishou, in the secret compartment of his study, and the white powder contained in the small bottle was exactly the same as that found in the fruit." As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Shi Xinming, now that the evidence is conclusive, what else does he have to deny?
Even these have been discovered, Shi Xinming's face turned pale, he didn't expect the emperor's people to come so quickly, and they didn't move.
"This official is also confused for a while." Shi Xinming trembled, and he confessed his guilt.
At this time, Zhan Xingyan fed Shi Yingqiu the antidote, Shi Yingqiu slowly opened his eyes, stood up, and walked in front of Shi Xinming.
"You probably didn't expect that I would suddenly change my appetite, let alone that when I accidentally washed the fruit, I would find those white powders." Shi Yingqiu looked at Taishou opposite with a look of resentment and said.
Seeing that Shi Yingqiu was actually fine, and she was standing in front of her in a dignified manner, Taishou finally understood that all this had already been seen through by her.
Shi Yingqiu's words later made Shi Xinming's heart so cold, "You don't have to look for other things, someone has already gone to the mansion to clean up the things over there." ”
How could everything be like this?
Taishou looked at Shi Yingqiu hysterically and roared angrily: "No! No! No, you must be lying to me! ”
How could it be, seeing that all this was already in sight, and suddenly there was such a big reversal, and no one could stand it.
Shi Yingqiu sneered, looked at Shi Xinming and said: "You tried to buy us in vain, but after the bribery failed, you saw that everything you did was about to be exposed, so you simply wanted to kill people and kill people, do you dare to say that all this is not what you think in your heart?" ”
After hearing this, Shi Xinming's face was as pale as dirt.
The people from the court didn't give him any extra chance to relieve, and immediately waved him out.
"Princess, please rest assured, the prince's body is now gradually recovering, I prescribed medicine to him, as long as he drinks it on time, he will be fine in less than three or five days." Seeing Shi Yingqiu's face suddenly gray, Zhan Xingyan immediately walked up to him and said.
Shi Yingqiu bowed slightly: "These things have also bothered you recently, if you don't report it, I may not know what to do." ”
"This is also the method that His Majesty came up with, with lightning speed, he led people to immediately raid the mansion, took away all the account books, and sent a team of people to ambush near the Taishou Mansion, and when he saw him come out, he went in to search, so that he could capture the Taishou as quickly as possible." Zhan Xingyan smiled and explained to Shi Yingqiu.
It turns out that this is the case, Shi Yingqiu secretly thought that the emperor's methods were really fast enough.
Within a few days, the people from the court had already found out the ins and outs and immediately convicted Shi Xinming.
In order to get some understanding, Shi Xinming did not hesitate to confess all the people who gave him ideas, and the people of Ancheng were panicked for a while.
When Ye Junhao finally recovered, he went to find Shi Yingqiu as soon as possible.
"Are you alright?" Ye Junhao saw Shi Yingqiu come in and stand in front of his bed, and he asked with a blank look.
"I'm fine, but you're more serious now, your body is still very weak, and the emperor specially issued an order for us to rest in Ancheng for a few days before leaving." Seeing that Ye Junhao had finally woken up and was able to get up, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Hearing the people around him say that this time it was thanks to Shi Yingqiu, otherwise they might have died here, Ye Junhao felt a warm feeling in his heart for some reason.
"Thank you so much to the princess, if there is no princess, I'm afraid the two of us would be a pair of outlaw mandarin ducks now." Ye Junhao smiled, looked at Shi Yingqiu and said.
The main reason is that he really didn't expect this Shi Xinming to be so bold in his heart.
Shi Yingqiu bowed slightly, "Hmm": "You have a good rest, I'll ask Zhan Xingyan, how is your body?" ”
When he heard that Zhan Xingyan was also coming, Ye Junhao's face changed suddenly, and in the past few days that he was in a coma, Zhan Xingyan was actually taking care of him.
Ye Junhao had some strange feelings in his heart, but he couldn't say it.
However, after a while, Shi Yingqiu personally brought the medicine and put it by Ye Junhao's side.
"This soup is still a little hot, put it here to cool down first, I'll prepare some candied fruit for you, and you will eat it after you finish taking the medicine." Shi Yingqiu put down the medicine, got up and walked out, and did not forget to instruct Ye Junhao in his mouth.
"I'm not a kid anymore, what else do you want these things for?" Ye Junhao said as he reached out and picked up the medicine next to the table, but he didn't expect that he would be so bitter as soon as he drank it.
As soon as Shi Yingqiu walked to the door, she heard such a movement behind her, she turned her head to look, and when she saw Ye Junhao's expression, she laughed out loud.
Shi Yingqiu shook his head as if looking at an angry child and said helplessly: "This medicine is very bitter, but you just don't listen to it, you have to taste it yourself, is it okay?" ”
Ye Junhao's expression at this time was a little complicated, looking at Shi Yingqiu opposite, and said as if he was coquettish: "I haven't drunk too much porridge made by the lady in the past few days, so my taste is extremely picky." ”
