Chapter 14: Buying the Murderer 2
A few people got off the horse, and the frightened servants helped up the car together, fortunately, the car was strong, and it was good to help it up again, a few girls shook their hands and simply cleaned up, waiting for Li Tian and others to get into the car, and the four black-clothed guards escorted everyone into the city.
Mrs. Xu sent Lin Ke back first, and then sent Li Tian to the Yongguo Mansion, Li Tian didn't let her get out of the car, she didn't want to alarm the people in the Yongguo Mansion about this, but Mrs. Xu still sent her mother-in-law to follow up and say about the robbery and murder anyway, Mrs. Yang saw that Li Tian's face was quiet, not like she was frightened at all, and she didn't listen to her mother-in-law much, she just weighed the mother-in-law's dress, and annoyed about rewarding a few big bucks and being decent and not too much.
In the afternoon, Li Tian was just about to lie down and sleep for a while, Dalang Li Xiaozu accompanied the already white hair of Imperial Doctor Jiang into Qingtong Hospital, Imperial Doctor Jiang carefully examined for more than a quarter of an hour, and then nodded with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm not scared, it's just that the sadness is too much, there is a little bit of loss, I will prescribe a prescription to nourish the heart, Sister Tian, don't be afraid, this medicine is not bitter, I will add a taste of milk vetch honey to make honey pills, to ensure that it is healthy and delicious." ”
Li Tian was depressed and helplessly thanked Imperial Doctor Jiang, this Imperial Doctor Jiang is a frequent visitor to several wealthy princely mansions, and the best thing is health care, when he was in Ningyuan Houfu, his grandmother invited him to come over every half a month to diagnose his pulse and prescribe a delicious but expensive prescription, but at this time, he ...... How can you invite him to come?
Li Xiaozu respectfully gave up Imperial Physician Jiang and went to the front hall to prescribe the prescription, Li Tian instructed Mama Xiong: "Mama follow over and take back Imperial Physician Jiang's prescription." Mama Xiong agreed, and hurriedly followed out, Yinhua came in to change the tea and said with a smile: "It was said that the Nanning County Mansion invited me to come and diagnose the pulse of the five ladies." ”
"I'm fine, Ke knows best!" Li Tian rubbed his brows in annoyance, Princess Jiang Jun didn't think she was troublesome enough? If you really want to suppress yourself, wouldn't it be more appropriate to send a few boxes of tranquilizing pills? I just want to invite Imperial Doctor Jiang to come over, Imperial Doctor Jiang's consultation fee is so expensive, Yongguo Mansion must have not invited Imperial Doctor for seven or eight years...... Li Tian let out a long sigh, the eldest aunt must be screaming again.
Instead of screaming, Mrs. Yang jumped up.
Mama Xiong failed to get the prescription back, Li Xiaozu had been instructed by his father, and he must not be wronged by this fifth sister, although he was honest, he was not stupid, how could he hand over the prescription to Mama Xiong, and after taking the prescription, let people hurry up to dispense the medicine, the medicine was equipped with ten pieces according to the instructions of Imperial Physician Jiang, and even the diagnosis of gold and medicine, it cost a total of more than sixty taels of silver, Mrs. Yang trembled angrily, these five Nizi, like her grandmother, were specially here to harm her!
In the afternoon, Li Tian received a letter from the shopkeeper Cheng, it turned out that the brocade-clothed young man who 'saved' him in the morning was the fourth prince Qin Kun, I don't know why, Li Tian faintly flashed a trace of uneasiness in his heart, and leaned on the kang to sort out this matter from beginning to end, and then straightened it out again, but he didn't find anything wrong.
The government has already reported the case to the end of the trial, and Mrs. Xu knew that the life-saving benefactor was the fourth prince Qin Kun, and she hurriedly sent Yu Yaofang over to talk to Li Tian, Yu Yaofang pulled Li Tian and muttered for a long time, saying that Mrs. Xu is embarrassed at home, don't thank you, such a great favor, it is really unreasonable to say nothing, and it is too rude, thank you, the other party is so noble, I really want to come to the door to thank you...... The princes who are not married live in the palace, how can they enter this door?
Li Tian pursed his lips and smiled while listening, Mrs. Xu is a kind person, and she only thinks about getting help and getting thanks, but the identity of the four princes Qin Kun is so important, it is better not to thank you.
The biological mother of the four princes, Ye Guifei, is the highest concubine in the palace, now there is no owner in the middle palace, Ye Guifei has been in charge of the harem for ten years, the name of virtue is famous inside and outside, it is simply the queen who is only short of the right name, and the Ye family of the Dongyang County Wangfu is prosperous, and the descendants are prosperous, and they can barely be regarded as talented......
Such a big hit, you can only stay away and not get closer, the farther away the better, besides, what is there to thank for? It's just that people think that a few splashes are in the way, so it's just a matter of cleaning it up, maybe you forgot it a long time ago, well, the cleaner you forget, the better.
But Mrs. Xu is a real person, revenge does not necessarily have to be revenged, there is grace must be repaid, and when she found the princess of Jiang County, she would be even more thankful for this kindness, but the two did not prepare a gift, but when the four princes went to the foreign house, they went to the palace of Dongyang County and kowtowed to thank them.
This matter of kowtowing to thank her face-to-face, Li Tian heard Lin Ke say a word the next day, her mind was focused on the case in the palace, this case is simple and clear, a few splashes and long people hidden in the forest were recruited in the first trial, confessed that it was Yan Chengqing who bought the murderer, and Guo Tuiguan, who tried the case, had seen with his own eyes the sinister heart of the two brothers of the Marquis of Ningyuan, how could he have the slightest suspicion, but in half a day, the case was concluded, because it involved the Marquis's Mansion, and the document was reported to Dali Temple.
In the upper room of a small courtyard on the east side of Dali Temple, Dai Steward sat on the first armchair with stilts, and was talking to Lu Tuicheng: "...... The fourth master is very angry, saying that this kind of crazy thing is really in vain, and it is also the current report of the world, and let him catch up with the fourth master, our ancestors are also angry, from the past to today, I don't know how many times I have asked, saying that if it is not strict, her old man will go to the official house and say it, you listen to this! Our Hou Ye had no choice but to send me over to take a look, even this kind of beast can be done, this Ningyuan Hou Mansion really doesn't deserve to be in our capital anymore!"
"That's it." Lu Tuicheng listened attentively, and echoed in a loud voice, Yan Chengqing's case of buying and killing his niece was only handed over to him this morning, and it has only been two or three hours now, and it has already been three or four times since he came to speak and asked for strict handling, which Ning Yuanhou is too unpopular!
"Please also rest assured that the eldest princess and the marquis will strictly follow the law and will never tolerate such wolf-hearted and dog-hearted people!" There is nothing to hesitate about this kind of one-sided case, Lu Tuicheng simply agreed, Steward Dai stood up with a satisfied smile, and stuffed a silver ticket from his sleeve into Lu Tuicheng's palm and said with a smile: "Lu Tuicheng is also busy, I want to invite you to a glass of water and wine, I'm afraid that you really don't have this time, I won't bother, this is a table, I have invited Lu Tuicheng." ”
Lu Tuicheng half-pushed and half-accepted the silver ticket, sent Steward Dai straight to the gate of the courtyard, shook his hands back to the upper room, took the case of Yan Chengqing's murder, considered it for a while, and put pen to paper the verdict.
The case went to the Criminal Department and other places smoothly and smoothly, and then it was released: Yan Chengqing's family was 5,000 miles away, and if he was pardoned, Yan Chengzhi, Marquis of Ningyuan, was mad, regained the title, and had 50 canes, and ordered him to return to his hometown to study behind closed doors, and was strictly guarded by the magistrate.
Li Tian looked at the transcribed judgment attentively, the Marquis of Ningyuan's mansion disappeared all of a sudden, what would grandma think if she knew? This verdict is surprisingly heavy, who is playing tricks in the middle? What a ruthless hand!
"I'm crying over there, many people begged to go to Mama Xiong, and wanted to come and wait for you, all of them were born and raised in this capital, and when they said they were going back to their hometown, how could they go back to their hometown?" Yue Niang didn't know when she stood behind Li Tian, and said with abrupt emotion, Li Tian slowly folded the judgment, lifted the curtain and stood under the porch, Yingluo hurriedly took the cloak and put it on her, Yue Niang came out and stood beside Li Tian with her hands behind her back.
I don't know when it snowed outside, and it was fluttering all over the sky.
This is the first snow in the winter month of this year, the habit of the rich and noble people in the capital, this snow has to be a reward that does not fall, in addition to appreciating the snow, but also appreciating the plum, red plum, green plum, wax plum all kinds of plum, appreciating orchids, appreciating narcissus, appreciating the novel flowers in the greenhouse, a day of appreciating the snow and enjoying the flowers will be arranged for a day is not empty, this is a good time for each family to show ingenuity and wealth, these three months in winter are three months of burning a lot of money.
This is naturally a good time for each family to show the girl to see her daughter-in-law, since this snow, Lin Ke and Yu Yaofang have rarely had time to come to visit Li Tian, Lin Ke is fourteen years old, Yu Yaofang is fifteen years old after the New Year, you have to hurry up and seize the opportunity to show up more, so as to set a good family as soon as possible.
When the first snow falls, each family's porridge hut must be erected and the porridge will be given once or twice a day. Old Madam Lin never hesitated to give alms during her lifetime, but this year, there was no trace of the porridge shed with the huge sign of the Ningyuan Marquis Mansion, and only Rong'an Tang still treated and administered medicine as usual.
Before the first snow melted, something happened to Rong Antang.
It was Wang Daqing, the son of the shopkeeper, Wang Daqing, and the second shopkeeper of Sun Daqing, Wang Daqing's eyes were red in a hurry, his forehead was full of sweat, and the second shopkeeper of Sun was pale, seeing Wang Daqing's anxious incoherent speech, he pulled him and said: "Don't worry, the owner must have a way, I will tell the owner." ”
Wang Daqing nodded again and again, Sun Er's shopkeeper took the licorice soup handed by Qingzhi and drank it in one sip, sorted out his thoughts and said: "It's just now--Si Zheng is around, there are many people in the shop, seven or eight strong men with a bamboo bed to carry a tightly wrapped woman broke in, saying that it was our pulse for diagnosis, and took the medicine we administered, it was a little sick, but most of the people died after the two pieces of medicine, saying that what we sold was fake medicine, and such blackmail was not too unusual, I and the shopkeeper Wang didn't take it seriously at first, thinking that at most, I would help her extend the medicine and send medicine, Cure the disease, and send a few taels of silver, who knows that those men didn't finish speaking, they began to smash the shop and beat people, our shop is not without manpower, how can he be allowed to make such a mess, just tied up two, and someone came to the government outside. ”
