Chapter 53 Tell the truth

"My subordinates have seen the second miss." When he got up the next morning, Li Kang came. Dressed in civilian clothes, if it weren't for the heroic posture that penetrated deep into the bone marrow, I am afraid that I really wouldn't be able to tell that this is a veteran of more than ten years.

"Uncle Li is a close confidant of his father's side, and he is Yun Heng's elder, so there is no need to be so polite here in Yun Heng." Yun Heng said and made a gesture of invitation to Li Kang, motioning for Li Kang to sit down and drink a cup of tea.

"Second Miss, the purpose of the subordinates' coming here today must be known to the second Miss, so let's not drink this tea." Li Kang was an anxious person, and when he came, he wanted to investigate the matter directly, and he refused to delay even a cup of tea.

When Yun Heng heard this, he couldn't help but smile, picked up the tea cup in his hand, took a sip, and his eyebrows and eyes were a little more relaxed, "Uncle Li is in such a hurry, there must be a clue." ”

"My subordinates have sent people to visit all the medical centers in the capital, and only thirteen have sold letter stones in the past month, and my subordinates have brought these thirteen shopkeepers and account books back to Yunfu." Li Kang told truthfully.

Yun Heng bowed his head slightly and put down the teacup, "Uncle Li should be interrogated, right?" ”

"As the second lady said, her subordinates have already interrogated, and there is only one medical hall where the person who bought the letter stone is surnamed Qiao. Therefore, the subordinates suspected that this person went to buy it in the name of the deceased lady, and turned over the account book to see, and sure enough, it was so. Li Kang said.

When Yun Heng heard this, he finally got up and glanced at Li Kang approvingly: "Uncle Li's efficiency is indeed high, no wonder my father trusts Uncle Li so much." ”

"Giving justice to the second miss and giving the third miss the truth is what the subordinates should do." Li Kang smiled embarrassedly.

Yun Heng bowed slightly, "Then Uncle Li will take me to meet this shopkeeper." After finishing speaking, Jin Se on the side put a veil on Yun Heng.

"Yes." Li Kang answered, and led the way in front.

Flower Hall

Before Yun Heng entered, he saw a man in a cloth shirt kneeling tremblingly in the center of the flower hall, and there were several soldiers standing beside him, all expressionless, which was really a little terrifying.

After hearing the footsteps, the man looked back and saw Yun Heng coming, so he hurriedly got up and ran to Yun Heng's side, but was stopped by Li Kang, "Presumptuous, how dare a cloth cloth approach our young lady." ”

"It's the grass people who have overstepped the rules, don't blame the big officials, don't blame the young lady. There are old and young grass people, and they don't dare to do anything bad on weekdays, I don't know where the grass people have angered this official and this young lady, and they want to arrest the grass people here. The man in the cloth shirt was so frightened by Li Kang that his voice trembled a little, and his legs and feet trembled and he couldn't stand steadily.

Yun Heng looked at the man like this, and secretly couldn't help but shake his head. This can't be blamed for this man being too cowardly, it's just that ordinary people must be afraid when they encounter such things.

"Don't be afraid, we just want to ask you." Yun Heng said gently, Xu is Yun Heng's voice was gentle, which eased the mood of the cloth man a little.

"Miss, if there is anything to ask, the grass people must know everything." The man in the cloth shirt nodded.

Yun Heng turned his head and whispered to the koi on the side: "You go and bring the bamboo peach over, don't let the third lady know." Koi nodded, turned and walked out of the house.

Yun Heng pointed to the chair next to him and said, "Let's sit down and talk slowly, I've been invited for so long, I haven't even drunk a cup of tea." ”

"The grass people are coarse people, and they are not used to drinking this tea, and they are already very content when they smell the fragrance of herbs on weekdays." The man in the cloth shirt sat down unceremoniously.

"It seems that you love the medical hall for a living." Yun Heng said as he walked to the chair in the main seat.

"Yes, I have been very fond of herbal medicine since I was a child, so when I grew up, I opened a medical clinic to make a living, and it is enough to support a family on weekdays, although I am not rich, but I am also content." It is not difficult to see that the man in the cloth shirt is an honest man in his words.

"In that case, you should be sensitive to a particular herb, right?" After Yun Heng sat down, he dusted off the dust on his sleeve and said.

Hearing this, the man in the cloth shirt changed his face slightly, and he didn't know how to respond for a while with the teacup. Yun Heng looked at him like this, and knew that he was weak-hearted, "You don't have to be nervous, I just asked you a few questions, and after asking a question, you can leave here with a large sum of money, but the premise is naturally to keep it secret." ”

"Miss...... May I ask ......?" said the man in the cloth shirt, putting down the teacup and feeling a little nervous.

"Almost everyone knows the flavor of the medicine of the letter stone, but not everyone can see it, I think, if you sell this flavor of medicine in your medical hall, you should be very impressed by the person who bought the medicine, right?" Yun Heng gathered a little mildness, adding a sense of oppression.

"I do have the impression that the smell of the letter stone is very toxic, and few people will buy this flavor of the herb, and now His Majesty has also decreed that if you buy this flavor, you must leave your name and handprint, and the grass people have a record here." The man in the cloth shirt said as he took out a ledger from his arms and handed it to Yun Heng, Jin Se hurriedly took it and handed it to Yun Heng.

Yun Heng flipped through the pages roughly, and finally found the page of the record letter stone on the twenty-eighth of last month. There is only one name on the ledger, and a handprint, but that's enough.

As the lady of Yunfu, to buy the letter stone, Yun Yiyang is in a catastrophe this time.

At this time, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door, and the people in the house looked at the door, and it was the koi fish who came in with bamboo peaches. To be precise, it was the koi who came in with the bamboo peach covering its mouth.

"Let her go." Yun Heng closed the ledger and put it aside, and said lightly.

Hearing this, the koi let go of the hand covering Zhutao's mouth and stepped aside. When Zhu Tao saw the man in the cloth shirt, her face changed suddenly, "Second Miss, what are you doing?" Bending into a trick? ”

"I haven't said anything, and you know I'm going to be beaten? Or do you have a ghost in yourself? Yun Heng chuckled lightly, and said in a lazy voice.

"If not, why did the second miss bring the slave here, the third miss is not out of danger now, and Zhutao has to go back to take care of the third miss." Zhu Tao said that he was about to run out of the door, but was stopped by Li Kang, Zhu Tao had a trace of panic in his eyes, and looked back at Yun Heng.

"There is a doctor over there in the third sister, you don't have to worry, what you have to do today is to help me explain the origin of the letter stone." Yun Heng stared at Zhu Tao with a smile, and Zhu Tao was stared at by Yun Heng like this, and he couldn't help but beat a drum in his heart, and even his palms were slightly sweating.

"What the second lady said, the slave maid can't understand......" Zhu Tao bit her lip stubbornly, and her voice unconsciously trembled a little.

"Don't understand?" Yun Heng still smiled indifferently, then pointed to Zhutao, and said to the man in the cloth shirt: "Do you know her?" ”

The man in the cloth shirt stared at Zhu Tao carefully for a long time, and when Zhu Tao saw the man in the cloth shirt looking at her, he quickly lowered his head, but he was still looked at carefully by the man in the cloth shirt, "I recognize, it is the letter stone she came to buy." ”

"Oh? Are you optimistic? Yun Heng raised his eyebrows, although his words were suspicious, but there was no doubt in his tone.

"Look, she's right. The grass people's point is in the West Market, that place is full of poor people, and there are few girls like her, so the grass people remember it very clearly. The man in the cloth shirt nodded heavily and confirmed.

"Okay." Yun Heng stared at Zhu Tao and spit out the word lightly, her face was gloomy, and even the atmosphere of the entire flower hall fell into an eerie silence.

"Your name is Zhu Tao, right? I remember that oleander is a poisonous flower, how can it be poisoned even by its own master? Yun Heng finally broke the silence, but what she said was not as suffocating as Fang Cai's suffocating silence for Zhu Tao.

"Nope! No! Slaves don't! How could a slave poison her own young lady! Second Miss, don't wronged the slave! Zhu Tao's legs were weak, and he fell to the ground, his face full of panic.

"Jinse, this maid said she didn't, did you say that our young lady wronged her." Koi suddenly said loudly.

"Wronged? When buying a letter stone, you have to press a handprint, it is better to let her press a handprint, is she not aware of it when she compares it? Jin Se said, then took out a box of fat powder from his sleeve and slowly walked towards the bamboo peach.

Zhu Tao stared at the box of fat powder in Jin Se's hand, and her body trembled unconsciously.

"Jinse." Yun Heng suddenly called out to Jin Se, and Jin Se stopped and stood still.

"Zhutao, I won't force you, now my father doesn't know about this matter, if you tell the truth, I will ask for your life in front of your father, but if you don't say it, this handprint will be pressed again, and it will be the same as in this account book, and your little life is estimated to be saved. You must know that the two crimes of buying a letter stone in the name of the deceased lady and poisoning the lady with the letter stone are enough to leave you without a tomb after death. Yun Heng picked up the ledger in his hand and shook it at Zhutao.

Zhu Tao looked at the account book in Yun Heng's hand and the fat powder in Jin Se's hand, closed his eyes after a long time, and sighed slightly and said, "The slave said." ”

"Wait." Yun Heng suddenly shouted to Zhu Tao, and said to the man in the cloth shirt on the side: "Thank you for today's events, I bought this account book." After speaking, Jin Se on the side took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the man in the cloth shirt.

"I want you to keep it a secret, if I know that anyone except my mansion knows about this, your family ......" Yun Heng said word by word, she deliberately brought a bit of oppression, so that the man in the cloth shirt did not dare to say more.

When the man in the cloth shirt heard this, he hurriedly took the silver tael, and promised that he would not reveal the matter to anyone even if he died, even his wife and children would not say it, so Yun Heng sent someone to send him out of the house.

"You can say it." The man in the cloth shirt was sent away, and Yun Heng looked at the bamboo peach who was sitting on the ground and said lightly.

"The last incident made the third miss resentful of the second miss, so she sneaked into the second lady's courtyard in the name of apology, and then took the letter stone herself to frame the second miss. It is precisely because ordinary people will not frame others with their own lives, so the third lady will take the risk and make this decision...... "Zhu Tao told the truth, so that everyone in the house was shocked.

"What is the solution? What kind of plan is this, what kind of grudge do I Yun Heng have with her Yun Yiyang, she hates me to such an extent that she has to put me to death? Yun Heng slapped the table heavily and said sharply.

When he landed, the people in the room didn't dare to breathe, and only listened to Zhu Tao's weak mosquito voice trembling: "The second lady is gorgeous and matchless, she is the first beauty in the Qin Kingdom, whether it is piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or the next knowledge, the second miss is more than one head taller than the third lady." She is the only concubine of the Yun family, and no one is surprised that she will be the queen in the future, and it is understandable if the third lady is jealous......"

Hearing this, Yun Heng sneered: "You can be a sycophant." Jin Se, go and call my father over, koi, Chi Wan, go and search the courtyard of Yunyiyang for me! ”

"Yes, miss." The three of them answered and retreated.

Yun Heng took off the veil, stroked his eyebrows with his slender hand, and rubbed it from time to time, showing a little irritability on his face, and Li Kang on the side couldn't help but sigh when he saw it. I only feel that Yun Heng treats Yun Yiyang so well, and Yun Yiyang does such a lack of morality, which really hurts Yun Heng's heart.

Seeing that Yun Heng's face was displeased, Chi Yu hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over, Yun Heng took it and sniffed it on the tip of her nose, the fragrance of tea did make her frowning eyebrows stretch slightly.

"Second Miss, don't worry too much about this matter, Third Miss is young and ignorant, it is inevitable that she will do something wrong, and Second Miss should try to be peaceful." Li Kang saw that Yun Heng's face was not good, and he was afraid that Yun Yiyang would have no good fruit to eat for a while, and if Yun Yiyang had no good fruit to eat, Su Qile would definitely not give up. Then the house is going to make trouble, which is not a good thing for Yun Minghao. Li Kang hopes that Yunfu will be harmonious and beautiful, and naturally hopes that more things are better than less.

When Yun Heng heard this, he couldn't help but sneer: "What Uncle Li said made Yun Heng feel cold. If the third sister is stubborn, whether she is rude or willful, I will let her and will not pursue it. But now she is using her own life to calculate me, if I hadn't read some medical books, she would have died! In order to achieve the goal, unscrupulous means, such a moral character, if you don't have a strict education, there will definitely be a big thing in the future. And after this incident, my Yun Heng's affection for her has long been gone, but if something happens to her and she loses the face of Yunfu, it is her father who can't raise her head, and it is her father who is ashamed, I will definitely not let this happen! ”

Yun Heng's words were sonorous and powerful, making Li Kang feel red, and he only felt very pustuated about what Fang Cai said, without the slightest decision that a soldier should have, and he was not as good as a mere woman.

"It's a subordinate gaffe, second miss is not strange." Li Kang hurriedly waved his hands and said humbly.

Yun Heng waved his hand, he didn't blame him.

"General Yun has arrived." As the voice of the little guy outside the door sounded, Zhu Tao's heart also hung up.

"Jin Se has already explained the situation on the way he brought me, and I probably know the ins and outs of the matter." Yun Minghao entered the house, and it was not difficult for Yun Heng to see that his face was very ugly, and there was a little anger in his voice. Then he glanced at Zhu Tao, who was sitting on the ground, took a deep breath, restrained the anger in his heart, and said, "Heng'er, what are you going to do with this matter?" ”
