Chapter 101: Look with your heart
The morning breeze carried the coolness through the cracks in the windows.
Yun Sheng, who was lying on the bed, slept dishonestly, with one arm exposed, stimulated by the cold, and couldn't help but shiver.
She woke up.
The whole body felt not quite right, not very comfortable.
There was a strangeness of sleeping in a new bed, and her hands and feet didn't seem to be her own, she rubbed her neck, yawned, took the clothes placed at the head of the bed and stuffed them into the quilt to warm up for a while, and then wrapped herself in the quilt and shrunk for a while, before putting on the warm clothes.
She sighed comfortably.
When he came to the dining room, Zhang Jiusheng was already there.
He seems to have gotten up quite early this time.
"Second young master, it's early." Yun Sheng said hello.
"Early." Zhang Jiusheng was taking the hot rice porridge from the maid's hand, and said, "Another bowl." β
As he spoke, he put the bowl in his hand on the opposite seat, Yun Sheng came over and sat down directly, picked up the fritters on the table and took a bite, and Zhang Jiusheng followed closely and stuffed the chopsticks into her hand.
After eating a few bites, Yun Sheng asked, "What did the second young master think about yesterday?" β
Zhang Jiusheng wanted to pretend to be stupid, but when his eyes met Shang Yunsheng, he said the truth a little uncontrollably: "I didn't think about it." β
After looking at Zhang Jiusheng for a long time, Yun Sheng pulled a few rice porridges with chopsticks, and said, "If the second young master can't open his mouth, then I'll go, anyway, I haven't known Zhang Tong for a long time, I can ask this." β
"......"
"Hesitant, it's not like the second young master." Yun Sheng bent his eyes and said with a smile.
Zhang Jiusheng did not refuse or agree in the end.
That means that Yunsheng is allowed to go.
After breakfast, Yun Sheng patted his stomach and went to the yamen.
Zhang Tong was already in the yamen, he was squatting in the courtyard at the door of the autopsy room, holding a pigeon in his hand that he didn't know where to get it, his stomach had been dissected, and his intestines and heart were neatly placed on the side of the board.
Yun Sheng walked behind Zhang Tong, put his hands behind his back, stretched his neck, and stood on tiptoe to watch quietly.
Until Zhang Tong reacted, there was an extra person around him.
"Eh, what's wrong with you?" Zhang Tong was so frightened that he sat on the ground.
Yun Sheng threw his head back and laughed.
"What are you doing?" Yun Sheng asked.
Zhang Tong glanced at her and said, "Don't you have long eyes?" Practice your craft. β
"Oh." Yun Sheng was a little heartless.
"In our small place in Fan County, there are not so many corpses for you to practice, so if you usually want to practice, you have to catch some small animals to practice, practice makes perfect, you know?" Zhang Tong said solemnly, quite with a serious attitude of being a teacher.
"Yes, yes." Yun Sheng nodded in agreement.
Despite this, she has not forgotten the purpose of coming to Yamen today.
It wasn't until Zhang Tong finished dissecting the pigeon that he hammered his waist and stood up, turned around and found that Yun Sheng was still there, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why are you still there?" β
"Shouldn't I be there?" Yun Sheng asked rhetorically.
Zhang Tong didn't know what words to refute for a while, was stunned for a while, and said, "There are no cases recently, you ...... Came looking for me? β
Sure enough, Yun Sheng nodded.
Yun Sheng and Zhang Jiusheng are different, Yun Sheng is not too deep in his feelings with Zhang Tong, Zhang Jiusheng is easy to be emotional, in view of what happened before, Zhang Tong is a little weak-hearted.
"What's the matter?" Zhang Tong pretended to be calm, trying to make his expression look less obvious.
"Zhang Tong, I found something related to you." Yun Sheng said slowly, his tone was soft, and it sounded like something inconsequential, but Zhang Tong's intuition told him that what Yun Sheng was about to say about him was not trivial.
"You say." He swallowed, trying to swallow his panic back into his stomach.
Yun Sheng's eyes were very sharp at this time, which was different from the Yun Sheng that Zhang Tong knew before.
Zhang Tong stood in front of her, as if he had become a prisoner awaiting trial.
She didn't speak immediately, just stood there and stared at Zhang Tong for a while, and then slowly spoke: "Come and sit first, it's tiring to stand." β
This went up and down, and Zhang Tong felt that his heart was about to get sick.
As soon as his butt was attached to the stool, he heard Yun Sheng say, "Someone saw you and Guan Ning together." β
The meaning in this sentence is ambiguous, it can be said that Zhang Tong and Guan Ning are chatting in their spare time, and of course it can also be said that Zhang Tong and Guan Ning have an ulterior conversation.
After all, although Guan Ning was the last head catcher of the Yamen, since he stepped down, he has hardly been to the Yamen, and the few times he has only come to the Yamen to bring some food to Guan Chu.
Zhang Tong was in the inner courtyard of the Yamen, and there was almost no chance to contact Guan Ning, let alone have any conversation with Guan Ning, and the only point of intersection between them was Guan Chu.
It's just suspicious that if Zhang Tong wants to find Guan Chu, he can be in the yamen, why do you have to go to Guan Chu's house to find it?
Zhang Tong beat the drum in his heart.
He guessed all the possibilities, and then overturned them with his own hands.
Yun Sheng's thoughts, he couldn't figure it out, and it was the first time that he felt that Yun Sheng had so many twists and turns.
"What do you want to say?" Zhang Tong asked.
"Guan Ning did something sorry for the adult, Zhang Tong, did you do it?" Yun Sheng saw that Zhang Tong seemed to be angry, so he didn't hide it, and immediately asked him.
Zhang Tongxin thought that was indeed the case, and only said: "I haven't done it." β
"I believe in you."
Yun Sheng believed from the beginning that Zhang Tong would not do such a rebellious thing, so Zhang Tong said that if he hadn't done it, he hadn't done it, and Yun Sheng didn't ask at all, which made Zhang Tong a little uncomfortable.
He had too many doubts in his mind to ask.
"Zhang Tong, I'm not a naΓ―ve person, I've also experienced intrigues and tricks, and I know what it's like to wander around the door of the ghost gate, but I still believe that you are the same person as Hongdou."
Zhang Tong pursed his lips and did not speak.
Between the two of them, according to outsiders, there is no basis for mutual trust.
But Yunsheng seemed to trust him, just like Yunsheng trusted Hongdou without hesitation before.
"Do you rely on your intuition?" Zhang Tong wanted to laugh a little, because he felt that Yun Sheng had no evidence to prove his innocence.
Yun Sheng also laughed, stretched out his finger and pointed to his chest, and said, "No, I looked at it with my heart." β
"Then I can tell you some things truthfully, but I can't tell you everything." Zhang Tong still has reservations in the end, but at least he is willing to say something, which is a good thing for Yunsheng.
"You say."
"I'm doing this, I'm not lying, I'm really a fake, but the statement in the capital is about to change."
"Coroner." Yun Sheng blurted out.
"Yes."
Zhang Tong is a coroner, and his idol is the one who wrote the "Examination Record", although the coroner did not accept Zhang Tong as an apprentice, and he didn't even know Zhang Tong, but for Zhang Tong, becoming a coroner as powerful as that one is the goal of his life.
And his good brother Nalan Jianyue is also a coroner.
On that "Inspection Record", there is his careful endorsement.
It's a pity that Lan Yan is dying.
"You work hard for Li Hongzhi." When Yun Sheng said this, he did not bring doubts, but simply affirmed with a single sentence, and Zhang Tong did not refute it.
"My life is holy, and the word "life" is not bad, but I came to Fan County, not the meaning of the holy, I asked for it myself."
"Oh?" Yun Sheng raised his eyebrows.
"You dare to ask me now, it means that you have the complete trust of the Zhang Mansion, at least the Imperial Doctor Zhang agreed with you, he told you about the jade seal, then you should also understand the matter of my coming to Fan County."
"I understand."
"Then Guan Ning ......"
"I understand, too." Yun Sheng didn't wait for Zhang Tong to finish speaking, and the rest of the words didn't need to be too clear, they were both smart people.
"But Guan Ning is Guan Chu's father, I can't do anything to him directly, so I just persuaded him, I didn't expect to be discovered by you, it was my negligence." Zhang Tong was a little apologetic.
Indeed, at the beginning, Zhang Tong did not intend to expose Guan Ning's situation, which would only make him two sides not human.
Guan Ning's exposure, the people on Wu Zhidun's side will not let him go, and the same is true for the people on Li Hongzhi's side.
Guan Ning is in Fan County, and it is no longer useful.
Who their next target will become, whether it will be Guan Chu or someone else, they have no way of knowing.
"It's a matter of time before it's discovered, and it's best to get this little bit to death in the first place before it gets any more serious. Guan Ning was afraid of death, and he was afraid that it would affect Guan Chu, he would not open his mouth to tell Wu Zhidun's people over there, he would only hide it. β
"You're right to say that."
"If you think of a way, or you can let Guan Ning come to Yamen through Guan Chu." Yun Sheng's eyes showed a light, like a scheming little fox, Zhang Tong saw her like this for the first time.
"Okay." He promised to come down.
The conversation between the two was unexpectedly smooth, and when Yun Sheng left the yamen, he even walked to Baishitang with a relaxed footsteps, like the wind.
As soon as he crossed the threshold, he saw Zhang Qiye holding a small medicinal mortar, pounding some medicinal herbs, and the green juice went up and down with the ups and downs of his movements.
"Big young master, make medicine?" Yun Sheng asked knowingly.
Zhang Qiye looked up at her, and the smile in his eyes was obvious: "What do you ask me for?" β
Yun Sheng smiled, with a cunning look: "What the eldest young master said, can't you come if it's okay?" β
"Yes." Zhang Qiye was in a good mood, and the tail note went up several circles.
Yun Sheng rarely saw Zhang Qiye in such a good mood, he couldn't help but prop up the counter with both hands, and asked, "The eldest young master seems to be in a good mood today, what happened?" β
Zhang Qiye freed his hand, looked at Yun Sheng, and actually pulled her hand towards himself, and probed her pulse very easily, Yun Sheng was a little surprised, Zhang Qiye hadn't probed his pulse for a while, why was it so sudden today?
When Zhang Qiye was probing the pulse, he didn't like to be disturbed, so Yun Sheng also quieted down and kept that action and didn't dare to move.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Qiye retracted his hand, covered his sleeve for Yun Sheng, and said, "The recovery is good." β
Then he didn't say anything, Yun Sheng waited for a while with his eyes open: "Then...... And then what? β
