Chapter 118: Gao Feng Liang Festival
readx;? Yang Jing came out of the cell in the twilight, the dry wind swept the heat on the ground everywhere, and the residual heat continued to hit his face, squeezing out the beads of sweat. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
When Luo Jiaoping saw Yang Jing come out, his face became extremely ugly, and he turned his head angrily, while Wang Nianen asked expectantly, "What is the result?"
Yang Jing smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored." ”
Wang Nianen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and said with a smile: "Yang Tui is a great talent!"
Before the words fell, Wang Nianen casually patted Yang Jing's shoulder, and then walked quickly into the cell.
Yang Jing shook his head and smiled, ignoring Luo Jiaoping's fire-breathing gaze, and took Lu Baiyu and Xia Zhi and others to Song Ci's mansion.
At this time, the heat is steaming, the residual heat is not gone, and the lights are on, the horse-drawn carriage is moving slowly, and the streets are gradually becoming lively.
This has not yet reached the Song Mansion, only halfway there, the pedestrians on the street and the people in the houses have become agitated, many people have taken to the streets, looking into the distance, and some people are constantly surging in the same direction.
Due to the gradual crowding of people, the speed of the carriage had to slow down, and Yang Jing had difficulty moving, so he had to knock on the groom: "What's the matter?"
Mafu: "Back to the young master, it seems that the front is on fire..."
"Gone off?" Yang Jing's heart swelled with an uneasy restlessness, and he glanced at Lu Baiyu, who suddenly understood, jumped out of the carriage, and the figure disappeared for a while and reappeared, saying to Yang Jing.
"It's the direction of Peng's house..."
"Peng Mansion is on fire?" Yang Jing's brows furrowed suddenly, but when he smelled the fragrance in the air, his brows quickly relaxed.
"Do you want to... Let's take a look?" I don't know if it's because the two of them have experienced a wonderful detoxification together today, or maybe she has seen a completely different side of Yang Jing, although Lu Baiyu hesitated, but still took the initiative to ask.
Yang Jing smiled and said to Lu Baiyu: "Don't go and watch it, sister come up, let's go to Song Mansion." ”
Lu Baiyu looked at Yang Jing, didn't say more, jumped into the carriage, the coachman drove the car, and began to slow down against the flow of people.
Yang Jing got out of the carriage and came to the gatehouse, the old man naturally recognized Yang Jing, and immediately greeted him, and said apologetically: "Lord Yang is unlucky, Song Ge is not at home at the moment..."
Yang Jing seemed to have expected it, and waved his hand at the old porter and said, "It's okay, I'll wait here..."
The old concierge was not easy to slacken, he also knew the relationship between Yang Jing and Song Ci's father and daughter, and he didn't dare to let Yang Jing wait in the concierge, so he made a good suggestion to let him move to the teahouse, while letting the housekeeper notify the housekeeper to receive Yang Jing temporarily.
Yang Jing sat for another half an hour, and Song Ci returned to the house, and when he saw Yang Jing, he seemed a little surprised, but he was quickly relieved, and said to Yang Jing: "I knew you would come, have you been waiting for a long time?"
Yang Jing smiled, and was about to get up to salute Song Ci, Song Ci happened to walk in front of him, gently pressed his shoulder, and said with concern: "If you are injured, these false gifts will be forgiven." ”
Yang Jing was not reluctant, and sat down straight, then glanced at Feng Ruochen behind Song Ci, and smiled at her: "You poisoned Yan Lichun, right?"
Feng Ruochen just smiled, and instead of refuting, he asked, "How do you know it's me?"
Yang Jing took a sip of tea and replied slowly: "Yan Lichun is poisoned by strychnine, he will be afraid of light, and he is easily frightened, so I blocked the window of the cell, so I found that the window was three feet off the ground, and the iron bar was intact, it was impossible to enter the cell from there, but it was not difficult to pass some small items to Yan Lichun... And those who can do this, looking at the whole Baling, I'm afraid that only you, Sister Feng..."
Yang Jing stared at Feng Ruochen, watching her expression change, and then continued: "Besides, there are two fresh marks left on the windowsill on the outside of the window, the size of a grain of rice, which should be left by your flying claws, am I right?"
Feng Ruochen threw a wink at Yang Jing, and clapped his hands a little exaggeratedly: "Lord Yang's inference is very exciting!"
Yang Jing didn't have the heart to follow the wind and dust to mess around, he sighed lightly, turned to Song Ci and said, "Why bother with Elder Ge..."
Song Ci also shook his head and smiled bitterly, and hesitated for a long time before saying to Yang Jing: "If you talk about solving the case, you are indeed doing it, but some things in the court are not as simple as you imagined..."
Yang Jing didn't know what to say for a while, in his mind, Song Ci's image was bright and tall, and he would never use such a trick to achieve his goal.
"Actually, if you don't say anything, the juniors can guess one or two..."Yang Jing took a deep breath, and finally spoke.
"Elder Ge is sure that I will definitely save her, what Elder Ge wants is not to poison Yang Lichun, but to create the illusion that Yan Lichun is afraid of crime and taking poison, and that is enough..."
Yang Jing said this, but his expression was a little gloomy, because Song Ci used him again, although doing so is absolutely beneficial to the overall situation, but Yang Jing just doesn't like this feeling, without his knowledge, being at the mercy of others will make Yang Jing feel fooled, even if Song Ci is the mastermind behind the scenes, Yang Jing can't accept this.
In fact, along the way, he had already thought very clearly, why did he meet Yang Zhixian on the way to the prison, and why did Wang Nianen and the old imperial doctor Qi Xuanji arrive later than him?
Because the first person Wang Dou notified was him, Yang Jing!
Yang Jing was recuperating from his injuries and became a shopkeeper, after saying that something happened, Wang Dou and other guards should immediately notify the Criminal Division or Wang Nianen, or even Yang Zhixian, but Wang Dou was the first to notify Yang Jing, just under the good idea of letting Yang Jing save Yan Lichun!
"Elder Ge believes in the ability of the younger generation so much, in case the younger generation can't save it, Yan Lichun will really be poisoned!" Speaking of this, Yang Jing was also excited, if Yan Lichun was really poisoned, then this would become an indelible stain in Song Ci's life!
Song Ci didn't expect Yang Jing to even be able to push this out, looked at Yang Jing, and decided not to hide it anymore, and explained to Yang Jing.
"You're right, this will indeed become a stain on the old man, but the premise is wrong, it is indeed the wind girl who poisoned him, but the mastermind behind the scenes is not the old man..."
"Who else is behind the scenes?" Yang Jing was also a little surprised, but after thinking about it, Yang Jing was clear.
At present, who is presiding over the overall situation in Jiangling and has enough ability to control and change the situation, except for Song Ci, there is only one person left, and that is the old imperial doctor Qi Xuanji!
"Qi Xuanji, why did he poison Yan Lichun? If it was him, it would be good to let the people from the Criminal Division go in and poison him, why would he use Sister Feng?" Yang Jing couldn't help but ask.
"Because it is Wang Nianen's people who guard the prison, if these people are poisoned, Qi Xuanji will definitely be discovered, and if Wang Nianen reports to the official's house, Qi Hangji will be completely finished..."
Yang Jing gradually figured it out: "In other words, it is not the official family who wants to kill Yan Lichun, nor is it the old man, but the old imperial doctor himself?"
Yang Jing thought that he was close to the truth, but Song Ci continued to shake his head and said, "No, it is actually herself who really wants to kill Yan Lichun!"
"Yan Lichun took poison by himself?!!!" This time Yang Jing was really a little confused, the truth turned out to be that Yan Lichun really wanted to commit suicide by taking poison!
But why did Yan Lichun kill himself, and why was the old imperial doctor willing to help Yan Lichun?
Song Ci nodded, and then continued to explain: "Yan Lichun doesn't want to affect the Yan family, let alone affect Yan Guifei, for the current situation, death is not suffering at all, but relief!"
"The reason why she was able to talk about Qi Xuanji was because she used that medicine garden as a price in exchange, and told Qi Xuanji about the manufacturing method of that mysterious elixir... Do you think Qi Xuanji's purpose this time is to investigate Yan Lichun? This old man has other plans!"
"Those poppies?" Yang Jing seemed to have found the last piece of the puzzle, and the veins in his mind gradually became clear.
In order to protect the family's reputation, Yan Lichun did not hesitate to seek death, and in exchange, she handed over the medicine garden to Qi Xuanji, along with the kind of elixir that could make people lose their minds and fall into wonderful hallucinations!
In other words, Wang Nianen may really come for the case, but the goal of the old imperial doctor is not simple, now that Zhou Wenfang is dead, if even Yan Lichun falls, that kind of mysterious elixir will definitely stop being supplied, and that is what he is most worried about.
Yan Lichun once used these pills to control people in the officialdom, Qi Xuanji was so nervous about these pills, can it show that he is also a controlled person, or that there are other controlled people?
Because he came for the pills at all, and Wang Nianen, the big eunuch around the official family, had to obey his command and dispatch, which can only explain one problem, the people who really care about those pills are actually the current officials!
As for Yan Lichun, from Qi Xuanji's ability to find Song Ci and ask him to instruct Feng Ruochen to deliver the poison, it can be seen that Yan Lichun is not worth mentioning at all!
Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't help but think of the Peng family's water walk, if Yang Jing guessed correctly, the place where the Peng family caught fire should be the medicine garden, and what was burned should be the sea of poppies!
Qi Xuanji was still pretending to be happy to save Yan Lichun, but in fact, he was eagerly waiting to take over Yan Lichun's poppy forest, but he didn't know that Song Ci had already taken the lead and burned all the harmful things!
Yang Jing could even deduce that Song Ci must have consulted with Mrs. Peng, under the pretext of exhuming the bones, eradicating all the poppy forests, and then burning them down completely, and the corpses dug up from under the gate of Peng's mansion happened to be transferred to the poppy forest next to the small courtyard of the farmhouse.
Because only Yan Lichun and his cronies could enter that place, and the remains were dug up from there, the weight of this testimony was enough.
And Song Ci naturally realized the harm of the opium poppy to people, as long as the source of this evil is completely eradicated, those controlled officials in the officialdom can be liberated!
Thinking of this, Yang Jing couldn't help but blush with shame, because Song Ci was still the same Song Ci, in order to save those officials who were manipulated by the so-called pill, he did not hesitate to burn the poppy, this was a head-on confrontation with Qi Xuanji!
And behind Qi Xuanji is the current emperor, the official family of the Great Song Dynasty!
When Yang Jing heard this, he couldn't help but stand solemnly, and saluted respectfully towards Song Ci: "It's the younger generation who misunderstood that the pavilion is old... What the elder does is really where the righteousness lies!"
