When some of the work is done, the medicinal materials are also counted clearly, and they are stored in the room where the medicinal materials are placed.

Lian Zeqian and Tao sat down and talked for a while, explaining that in the future, they could just find themselves directly about these medicinal materials, and they didn't have to bother Xi Ningyu anymore. and the arrival date of the new pharmacist who cooperated was also determined, and Lian Zeqian sent the food away.

At this moment, Xi Ningyu had already returned to the old mansion, but he did not change his depressed mood because he had solved the matter of medicinal materials.

At this moment, in Huaizhou County, Zhizhou Kang Yang is full of bags because of Zhong Yao's death.

"After checking all night, is there no clue at all? Although Zhong Yao is just a shopkeeper, behind him is the Huang Chamber of Commerce.

This Huang Chamber of Commerce is in the imperial capital, and it is not a small force. Although he is a businessman, he has made friends with many nobles, and now that the chief shopkeeper in Huaizhou County is dead, he will definitely put pressure on me.

If you have any good ideas, let's talk about it! ”

Kang Yang's face was very ugly, and all the people present were government officials in Huaizhou County, and none of them could say a good idea after asking for a long time.

Only Taicang made Zhao Man seem to be thoughtful, sitting under him alone, as if he was thinking about something.

So Kang Yan turned his head and asked, "Zhao Taicang order, is there any way." Can you find out who murdered Zhong Yao's shopkeeper? ”

Zhao Man heard Zhizhou's question, but did not answer immediately. Instead, he was still thinking in his mind, and after about a tea time, Zhao Man slowly raised his head and looked at Zhizhou.

"My lord, when I interrogated the Zhong family last night. There's nothing suspicious, but ...... However, in the mouth of Zhong Yao's subordinates, he learned about it, but he didn't know if it was related to Zhong Yao's death. ”

"Tell me what's going on. Let everyone here hear and see together, there is something suspicious! ”

"Yes! Zhong Yao's various stewards talked to his subordinates about it last night.

Recently, Zhong Yao seems to have ordered the cutting off of the medicinal materials provided to Lian surnamed Langzhong in order to obtain a few prescriptions in his hand surnamed Langzhong. intended to force this Lian Langzhong to hand over the prescription in his hand, so he had been waiting for this person for several days.

Especially recently, because of the cut-off of the supply of medicinal materials, the news they heard also showed that the medicinal materials in Lian's surnamed Langzhong's hands were almost exhausted, but they still did not go to negotiate with Zhong Yao. Therefore, Xia Guan felt a little strange! ”

When Zhao Man said this, all the officials present began to discuss.

Some people say that doing business is originally for profit. Since Zhong Yao does not give medicine, then Lian Langzhong will cooperate with others, that is, Zhong Yao is not the only one who sells medicinal materials. Therefore, it is unlikely that a murderer will be hired.

In addition, for the sake of the supply of some medicinal materials, it should not be possible to commit this murder.

Some officials said that although they could not be sure, they could not rule out such personal enmity over business. Therefore, the possibility of buying murder, coupled with Zhong Yao's use of such an unscrupulous method, will definitely arouse the resentment of Lian Langzhong.

Therefore, in this Lian Langzhong, it is only right to send someone to investigate, and so on.

Zhizhou Kang Yu and Taicang Ling Zhao Man, who were sitting at the top, listened quietly to the discussion of the officials until the sound gradually stopped.

"What does Lord Zhao think, all the officials have their own opinions. It was difficult for the official to make a decision for a while, but it was Lord Zhao who handled this matter single-handedly last night, and he learned more about Zhong Yao's subordinates, so he must have a better understanding of this case.

Moreover, it is in the county, and it is under your rule. Therefore, you should take the idea of this case and investigate it thoroughly, right? ”

Kang Yang's words have somewhat lost the identity of the highest authority in a state.

Zhao Man also heard Kang Yu's words, and his heart was a little disdainful. You don't know when you hide in the future? If this matter is not handled well, it will offend the Huang Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital.

Do you know the situation of the Huang Chamber of Commerce in the imperial capital, don't you know about it? Let me have an idea, and understand this case, you are the first to take the lead, so that you can go to the Huang family.

But if it doesn't work well, that's my mistake. When the time comes, all the fault will be put on me, and you will not be resented by the Huang family, and your promotion will not be affected in the future.

However, the psychology is clear, Zhao Man is also chasing ducks on the shelves at the moment, and he can't refuse!

"Then the lower official thinks that this Lian Langzhong can let people investigate. To see if there is anything suspicious, that is, if nothing is found, at least it can also allow us to reduce the number of suspects to achieve the effect of narrowing the scope of our investigation.

I don't know what you think? ”

"Well, then let people check this Lian Langzhong first, and as for other aspects, don't let it go. In short, it is necessary to find out the mastermind as soon as possible, or arrest the murderer, and correct the law of the country and clarify the criminal law! ”

The officials should be the last and retired.

Taicang ordered Zhao Man to also go out of the Zhizhou Mansion.

"Humph! What a treacherous one, this matter depends on how the official investigates. dared to kill people in the county town, and it was the steward of the Huang family who died.

You're a fool to me! Or is the murderer stupid? If there was no fear of the Huang clan's forces, how could they kill people so blatantly. This matter has to be investigated and investigated, and I don't know how to offend the nobles of several imperial capitals!! ”

On the way back, Zhao Man sat in the car and kept chattering in his heart.

But the chatter is the chatter, and this matter has fallen on him. The royal capital must not be offended,

But the Zhizhou in front of him can't be offended either.

Zhao Man is worried at the moment!

Early the next morning, Lian Zeqian, who had just finished packing up and was about to go out, was blocked in the door by several errands who came in a hurry.

"Are you Lian Zeqian, Lian Langzhong?"

"Ugh! It's Lian Zeqian below, I don't know how many officials are looking for it, what's the matter? ”

Lian Zeqian saw that these servants blocked himself in the house early in the morning, and he was a little puzzled. Although he was sentenced to exile, he also went through the procedures in the Huaizhou official office, made a registration, and the previous lady specially entrusted someone to cancel her sentence.

It is said that it should not be difficult again, but at this time, several errand officers are menacing. Let Lian Zeqian feel a little flustered in his heart!

"Come with us, Master Taicang wants to see you!"

"That'...... Narong Xiaomin explained to his family and went with everyone. I hope that a few bad masters will follow! ”

Lian Zeqian hurriedly took out some broken silver from his arms and gave it to the errand officer who looked like the leader. Seeing that the other party nodded, Lian Zeqian hurriedly turned back to the house and called Wen Ping'an to complain.

Let him go to Xi Ningyu, inform him that there is an errand official to take him away, and ask Xi Ningyu to figure out what this is for. and told Wen Ping'an to live a good life in medicine, and then left with a few errands.

Wait for Wen Ping'an to hurry all the way and inform Xi Ningyu of the news.

Xi Ningyu was also puzzled, she did ask Jiang Huan to secretly find someone to cancel Lian Zeqian's penal service, so she shouldn't be harassed anymore.

But this morning he was taken away by the official messenger, what is the reason!

Toad was also in a hurry on the side, it can be seen that Xi Ningyu didn't move, and he could only be in a hurry.

"Don't panic, Toad, your father's things weren't too heavy. With my second brother's position in Huaizhou, I won't even be able to erase these things.

I guess there must be other reasons for taking Uncle Lian away this time. It's just that your family was really framed by someone and nothing else? ”

Xi Ningyu comforted the confused toad, and at the same time asked the toad again about the original incident to see if there was any other reason, but he didn't say it at the beginning, which caused the problem at the moment.

"Miss, this has already ruined my family in the first place. If there was anything else, I wouldn't have been able to leave my hometown alive for a long time, Miss, I really didn't hide anything! ”

Toad explained with red eyes.

"Good, that's good. Don't worry, even if Uncle Lian is taken away, the official family will not dare to do anything to Uncle Lian immediately, you will immediately enter Huaizhou County with me, I am afraid that I will have to discuss this matter with my second brother, let's go! ”

Xi Ningyu took a few people without delay, and rushed to the county town after preparing the carriage.

When she arrived at the Metropolitan Protector General's Mansion, Wan Niang learned that Xi Ningyu had arrived, and led Jiang Zan to wait at the second gate.

"Fourth sister, you don't come to see us sometimes. Is it really that busy? ”

As soon as they met, Wan Niang pulled Xi Ningyu and asked with a smile.

Jiang Zhan, who has grown up a lot, also dragged Xi Ningyu and kept calling her aunt. It's still the same as before, seeing Xi Ningyu like a dogskin plaster, sticking to it!

"I've been a little busy lately, and it's because of important things that I came to find my second brother today."

"Oh? That's going to have to wait, your second brother went to the military camp outside the city early in the morning, and I'm afraid he won't be able to come back until after the afternoon at the earliest. ”

When Xi Ningyu heard that Jiang Huan was not in the mansion, her brows furrowed. It's just that the barracks are not something that can be broken in at will, even if they were familiar with all the military attaches in the camp because of the banditry before.

But if you rely on this relationship, ignore military regulations and break into the camp indiscriminately. After a long time, it will inevitably bring trouble to Jiang Huan, so Xi Ningyu can only wait in the mansion at the moment.

Toad is too, I heard Wan Niang say that Jiang Huan is not in the house. Tears are falling!

Wan Niang is so delicate, seeing all the sad faces, plus Xi Ningyu's words when she came to find her husband. How could you not guess that something must have happened, and it was quite troublesome, otherwise Xi Ningyu would never be like this.

Wan Niang led everyone to the inner room and beckoned the maid to serve refreshments.

"Fourth sister, what the hell is going on?"

"Second sister-in-law, early this morning. A few officials came and took Uncle Lian away. At the beginning, the second brother helped eliminate Uncle Lian's criminal servitude, and he also touched the charges, but ......"

"Did the official who came to bring people say why he mentioned people again?"

"No, I only know that it is someone sent by Taicang Ling."

After Wan Niang asked about the matter, she called the official. After explaining, he sent someone to the barracks quickly and informed Jiang Huan to come back as soon as possible after finishing his business.

Only then did Toad's heart be reassured, and Xi Ningyu also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, let's wait. I have already asked the housekeeper to go to Taicang to listen outside the yamen, and I will report anything in time, and it is useless to worry at the moment.

In any case, it won't be done immediately by Mr. Lian, just wait here with peace of mind. When your second brother returns, he will be able to solve this problem. ”

Wan Niang persuaded again, and it was only after Toad Er held back her tears.

"Thank you, Mrs. Wan, thank you, Mrs. Wan!"

"Well, no thanks. I also like you and Yu'er very much, and I have heard your father talk about it from my husband, who is a kind person.

Therefore, those who can help will not sit idly by. Don't cry anymore, your tired young lady is also worried. ”

The so-called love house and Wu, Jiang Huan and his wife love Xi Ningyu, and they even followed a few girls around Xi Ningyu. There are a lot of blue eyes on weekdays, so Wan Niang has to say a few words of relief.

At this moment, in the official office of the Taicang Order, Zhao Man was sitting in front of the public case.

"Lian Langzhong, do you know that the medicine merchant Zhong Yao died in his house late at night the day before yesterday?"
