Chapter 108: The Man Behind the Scenes
Although Zhang Hongtao couldn't understand the prescription in front of him, since he had already said that he would do it, lest his daughter nagging him again. Cheng Ge just quietly wrote the pill inside, and I believe that Zhang Hongtao will not spread such a private thing.
Thinking of this, Cheng Ge was very happy and completed the first step by himself. The second step is to quietly go to Mr. Zhang's room tonight, and tell him what the second step will be done, and I believe that the people behind the scenes will soon find out.
After reading these people, Cheng Ge only felt a sore back, and it would be great if there was a masseuse who gave him a good massage at this time. It's a pity that there is no masseur in this era, so I can only let the little maid come and beat her back.
Cheng Ge called a little maid to come to his room to massage herself, the little maid's skills are very good, and the massage is presentable, but she has a faint smell of fragrant powder, which seems to be different from other maids.
"What's that smell like on you? I don't seem to smell it before. "Cheng Ge has a match and chats with the little girl.
"This is the smell of purple powder on the slave maid, which is not very common, so the princess may not have been exposed to it before." The little maid was not timid, and replied in a crisp voice, "If the princess likes it, I will bring some to the princess tomorrow." ”
"Okay!" Cheng Ge agreed in one bite, thinking that it would be good to bring it back to Zhang Ziling later, she should like this fragrance very much. After massaging for a long time, Cheng Ge only felt drowsy, waved his hand, and let the little maid go down, while he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
By the time she woke up, it was almost time for dinner, and if it hadn't been for Qin Changqi calling her, she probably hadn't woken up yet.
"What's wrong with me?" Cheng Ge patted his somewhat swollen forehead, feeling a little dizzy, even if he was tired before, he had never been like this before, Cheng Ge took his pulse, and his body was obviously very strong.
"It's time for us to go find Master Zhang, are you okay?" Qin Changqi saw that he was a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly sat down beside her, looking at her with concern.
"I'm fine, let's go." Cheng Ge quietly pinched his tiger's mouth to sober himself up, and then pulled Qin Changqi's sleeve and quietly went to find Zhang Hongtao.
In the dead of night, there were only patrolling guards outside, and they didn't know who the spy was hiding in the house, so they simply hid it from everyone, and the two of them climbed into Zhang Hongtao's house through the window. Zhang Hongtao had already made preparations, made tea, and sat at the table waiting for the two of them. Seeing that two people came in through the window, Zhang Hongtao hurriedly got up and saluted.
"No need to be polite." Qin Changqi waved his hand and sat him down, "Did you take the medicine that the princess asked you to take?" Do you feel anything wrong with your body now? ”
Zhang Hongtao said with a serious face, "Thank you princess, I have already taken the medicine, but I didn't expect that they had already put their hands into the yamen, and it was me and Lord Bai who were negligent." ”
"Now is not the time to hold accountable, we need to find out the people behind the scenes as soon as possible, otherwise we don't know what happened later?" Qin Changqi waved his hand, stopped his words, and said in a deep voice, "Anyway, the matter has almost been resolved, and it is enough to have this king and Lord Bai here." From tomorrow onwards, you will pretend to be unwell and be sick in bed. ”
"The old minister understands." Zhang Hongtao nodded, and said a little embarrassedly, "This suddenly let the old minister rest, the old minister is really a little unaccustomed to it." ”
"It's time for you to rest, too." Cheng Ge shook his head helplessly and said, "If you keep going like this, I'm afraid Master Zhang won't see his grandson born." ”
"Grandson?" Zhang Hongtao looked surprised, although he and his daughter often corresponded, but Zhang Ziling didn't mention anything about himself and Zhao Chenyi, so he didn't know, "Ziling is ...... her"
Cheng Ge knew that Zhang Ziling didn't say it, so Cheng Ge told him about Zhang Ziling's recent situation, presumably he knew that his daughter was cherished by such a man, and he would be very happy. But she completely miscalculated, Zhang Hongtao was not only not happy, but angry.
"Why did that stinky boy marry my daughter?"
When Cheng Ge saw this, he thought to himself that he might have done something wrong with good intentions, and hurriedly explained, "Zhao Chenyi is different from when he was a child, Lord Zhang will take a good assessment, but I believe he will definitely pass the test." ”
Zhang Hongtao also knew that now was not the time to say this, so he calmed down his emotions, sat down, and said gently, "The old minister knows." ”
"If Lord Zhang has any doubts, he can also tell us now." Qin Changqi saw Cheng Ge's embarrassment, so he changed the topic, since he knew that there were spies in the house, everyone thought it was weird.
"If it's a suspicious person, Lao Chen really doesn't have a candidate, but if he really wants to check, he still needs Lord Bai to cooperate, he is more familiar with the personnel here." Zhang Hongtao seriously recalled all the people he had seen, but it was a pity that he was not in the house much on weekdays, and there were very few people in contact, so there were no clues worth referring to.
But since Zhang Hongtao was poisoned, he could be screened from some of the people he had contacted. Fortunately, Zhang Hongtao has a good memory, and he wrote down some of the people he had met and handed them over to the two.
Cheng Ge looked at the list and saw a somewhat familiar person, it was the little maid she massaged today, as for the two family members who spoke that day, I don't know what positions they are in, and they need to be screened from these people.
"Fluttershy, help me see if I'm okay." Cheng Ge suddenly thought that after the massage today, she felt dizzy and swollen, could it be that she was also poisoned?
Fluttershy should claim yes, give her a proper check-up, and say, "There's nothing wrong with you, but did you smell the pink today?" ”
Cheng Ge nodded, the little maid did tell herself today that she had the smell of purple powder on her body, but this powder is very common, is there any problem? Fluttershy flipped through the system and said, "There's really nothing wrong with this powder, it's just that you usually come into contact with a lot of medicinal herbs, and if you meet Banxia, you will be quietly poisoned." ”
I see!
It seems that there are also masters of using medicinal herbs in the opposing camp! It seems that I have to be on guard.
"Is there any solution to this? I can't just keep touching this herb. ”
"It's very simple." Fluttershy triumphantly, "All you need to do is grind the burdock grass into a powder and mix it in the tea and drink it." ”
Cheng Ge hurriedly went to do it, and relieved himself of the hidden danger of poison, only then did he feel relieved, there is still a tough battle to fight tomorrow, and he must lift his spirit.
