The 553rd Round: The Royal Mansion of Annan County
After taking care of the autopsy, Han Changdui turned his head and instructed Sun Ying: "Sun Yanzuo, you are ready to prepare, and you will go to check the relationship between the dead baby and the county lord Rong in a while." ”
Sun Ying's heart tightened, and she hurriedly answered yes, turned around and went back to the inspection room, and was stunned for a moment at the miserable corpse that could not bear to look at directly, and with a heart, she wrapped the corpse in a white cloth and put it into a small thin coffin.
The coffin and the corpse in the coffin were extremely light, so light that people couldn't bear it, and Sun Ying easily lifted it up with just one hand.
Han Changdui glanced at Sun Ying, who had a heavy face, and ordered lightly: "Meng Sui, He Zhenfu, you are each busy with your errands, use the twilight food, and then talk back." ”
One case after another was pressed down, and the internal security department was tense up and down, and they came and went all the way trotting, lest they delay time, and even more afraid of some omissions.
Han Changwan and his party hurriedly walked out, and just after getting away from the cold atmosphere of the house inspection, they bumped into Jin Yu with an anxious face.
Jin Yu's face was extremely ugly, his face was in a hurry and grief, and he almost didn't have time to salute Han Changdui, so he said eagerly: "Shizi, my subordinates have brought back the family of Chief Manager Xiaoqiu, but they have all been poisoned, and now they are unconscious, we must detoxify them as soon as possible, otherwise I am afraid that they will die soon!" ”
Han Changwan was stunned for a moment, and then ordered Jin Yu sharply: "Hurry up and go to the Imperial Doctor's Office to ask for a Han doctor's order." ”
Seeing Jin Yu leave in a hurry again, Han Changdui pondered for a moment, turned to Sun Ying and said, "Sun Yanzuo, please bring back the body of Lord Rong, and I will inspect it in the Internal Guard Division." ”
The corners of Sun Ying's lips twitched twice, digging the grave and digging the grave was already thunder and thunder, and he had to bring back the corpses of others, and the dead who disturbed him must not be cleaned, this was to force him to go to hell.
As a servant, he does a lot of things on weekdays to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy, but he will hardly dig up the body from the grave and then bring it back to the Internal Guard, which is a matter of damaging yin morality.
But fortunately, Lord Rong's closest relatives are almost dead, and no one cares whether she ends up in the ground or not, dig it out and bring it back to the Internal Security Division, at least no one will ask him about it.
He no longer hesitated, sent the thin coffin back to the inspection room, beckoned a few bold and careful guards, took the grave digging materials, and went to the cemetery together.
Today's internal security department is extremely busy, in addition to the people who followed Meng Suiqi and He Zhenfu to go out on errands, there are also some people who gathered in the side hall, and sighed in the face of a few people lying on the ground with Qi Shushu, and then dispersed to carefully inspect the suspicious things found in the house of Chief Manager Xiaoqiu.
Human life is at stake, Han Zengshou did not dare to take the carriage, but came all the way quickly, and when he arrived at the Internal Security Division, his old bones almost fell apart.
As soon as he walked into the side hall, a fishy and pungent smell mixed with a faint bloody smell rushed to his face, Han Zengshou's heart chuckled, and he hurried to the front of several people lying on the ground.
He swept his eyes coldly, and his heart sank even more.
There were six people lying on the ground, three men and three women, and two of the children's breath was the weakest.
Young men of twenty-five or sixteen years old had the mildest symptoms and could still moan in pain.
The middle-aged man in his early forties lying next to him seemed to be holding his breath very much, his purple mouth was open, panting heavily, and his breathing was like a broken gong.
The other two women of the same age were very quiet, and there was no loud sound, but their bodies twitched twice from time to time, and there was no other movement.
"One Sword Alone"
Han Zengshou quickly judged everyone's situation, squatted on the ground, pinched a cold and shining silver needle between his fingers, and pinched the young man's cheek with his other hand, forcing him to open his mouth, and the silver needle quickly stabbed the man's mouth.
When I took it out again, the silver needle was already half black, and the cold light was gone, and it became dark and heavy.
"It's poisonous!" Han Zengshou glared at the silver needle that had changed drastically and muttered.
Han Changdui walked over quickly, and saw a row of people lying on the ground, all with black faces, purple lips, and black-purple blood stains on the corners of their lips.
Especially the two children, the breath was faintly imperceptible.
Han Changdui's face changed, and he asked lightly, "Han Yiling, how is it, is there a way to detoxify?" ”
Han Zengshou looked serious: "If you want to detoxify, you must first know what kind of poison is in them!" ”
"What is the method of the Korean Doctor Order?" Han Changwan asked again.
Han Zengshou smiled bitterly: "There is a way, but there are hundreds of powerful poisons in this world, if you check it without a clue, I'm afraid that before you find out what kind of poison it is, these people will die!" ”
Han Changwei also felt that there was something to be done, if he couldn't judge from the symptoms of these people, then maybe he could find blood clues from other items, he pursed his lips and asked Jin Yudao: "Did you search the house, did you bring back anything suspicious?" ”
Jin Yu looked up and looked outside: "I brought it back, it's all left outside, and the internal guards are already inspecting." ”
Han Changdui hurriedly walked out, and saw that the suspicious things that had been searched from the house of Chief Qiu were densely placed on the ground, there were hundreds of them, and the internal guards classified these items and were silently busy screening them.
He shook his head helplessly, so many suspicious things, it will take a long time to screen them one by one.
He looked around, and it seemed like he was going to think of something else.
At this moment, there was a sudden accident in the side hall, the youngest child groaned in pain, suddenly spit out a few mouthfuls of black and purple blood, and his weak body twitched twice, and then did not move.
"Han Yiling, come on, come and see, this kid is not moving!" The guard exclaimed.
Han Zengshou hurriedly rushed over, put his hand on the child's neck and tried it, sighed, and shook his head slightly.
Han Changdui also chased in, seeing this scene, his heart ached, his anger burned his heart, the child is innocent, no matter how big the grudge is, the innocent child should not be implicated! And it's not a grudge, it's a one-sided killing!
Han Zengshou was also a little anxious about this poison of unknown origin, but he still methodically tested the poison for everyone, and then stuffed the heart protection pill into everyone's mouth, temporarily protecting the heart pulse and delaying the speed of the poison attacking the heart.
The internal guards carefully inspected the suspicious things, not to mention that they were poisons, but they didn't find anything that smelled of medicine.
Everyone couldn't help but be a little depressed.
At this moment, Jin Yu suddenly exclaimed: "Han Yiling, this, why is this kid bleeding!" ”
The boy had no breath at all, Jin Yu couldn't bear to look at it, and was about to cover it with a white cloth, and then arrange for someone to prepare a thin coffin, but as soon as he walked over, he saw black blood oozing from the boy's mouth, nose, eyes and ears.
He exclaimed, pointing at the boy as blood curled to the ground and blackened patches appeared on his bare skin.
Han Zengshou's eyebrows jumped, and he hurriedly lifted the young man's clothes, only glanced at it, and then exclaimed: "This, this, peacock gall!" ”
As soon as he heard the words "peacock gall", Han Changdu's heart sank, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that blackened patches had also appeared on the young man's body, and there were already signs of festering.
Bleeding, vomiting, and skin ulceration are all symptoms of peacock bile poisoning.
After a moment of silence, Han Zengshou didn't know what he thought, his face changed, he shook his hand and took out some dirty blood and put it in a white porcelain bowl, turned out a translucent pill in the medicine box and melted it, and slowly poured it into the dirty blood, stirring as he poured.
In just a moment, the original black blood turned into a pool of green blood, and occasionally a very faint and faint fragrance came out.
Han Zengshou was already shocked, and said in a sharp trembling voice: "No, this is not an ordinary peacock gall, it is refined, extremely pure, extremely toxic, and," he paused slightly, moved his eyes to look at Han Changdui, and his face was full of surprise: "And the peacock gall has added broken intestine grass, Lord Envoy, this is a ruthless hand to kill people." ”
What kind of grudge is this!
Han Changdu's originally calm expression was also shattered, but in an instant, he calmed down again, and used such a powerful poison to poison these people, obviously the secrets that these people knew were not trivial.
He was silent for a moment and asked lightly, "Han Yiling, since you know what kind of poison it is, is there a way to detoxify them and save their lives?" ”
Han Zengshou looked embarrassed and hesitated: "Originally, peacock gallbladder was incurable, not to mention that it was refined, and the intestine breaking grass was added, which was even more poisonous, and I could only try it reluctantly." ”
Han Changdui nodded: "There is a Lao Han medical order." He beckoned Jin Yu over: "This official asked Jin Yu to assist the medical order, if there is anything, Han Yiling just ordered him." ”
The weather is hot, the sun penetrates the dense shade, there are already traces of summer heat, the bluestone pavement has become dry, and layers of thin ash have floated and fallen with the endless flow of people.
At the entrance of the restaurant and liquor store where the flag curtain fluttered, there was also a large vat with white smoke, and all kinds of sugar water and flower wine were chilled in it.
Leng Linjiang a few people beat horses through the streets and alleys, the sun scorched the street, the rolling heat wave swept in one by one, and the people on horseback were already sweating after a few bumps.
Passing by the door of the restaurant with a large vat, Meng Suiqi and He Zhenfu turned their heads together, salivating at the vat with hoarfrost, until the curling white smoke on the vat dissipated, and then they turned their heads again, just in front of Leng Linjiang's smiling face.
The two of them were immediately extremely embarrassed, and they only felt red-faced.
It's not a shame to be greedy like this, it's too embarrassing to be greedy like this and be caught by Leng Linjiang!
Leng Linjiang didn't care, waved his hand, and said with a proud smile: "After finishing the errand, I invite you to eat Sushan." ”
Meng Suijie and He Zhenfu were overjoyed, and complimented Leng Linjiang with a smile.
No wonder the people in Jingzhao Mansion said that Leng Shaoyin was the most heroic and generous, and he was really generous.
The palace of Annan County is in the corner of the Sixteen Princes' Mansion, compared with other princes' mansions, the mansion is not too big, but most of the people who live in the Sixteen Princes' Mansions are crowned princes, and the Annam County Kings live in the Sixteen Princes' Mansions as the kings of the county, and the mansions are also given by the saints, and the strength of the saints can be imagined.
Leng Linjiang and the three of them stood at the door of the Annan County Palace, looking up at the new lintel of the County Palace.
With such a new door plaque, I'm afraid it has to be painted once a month.
Leng Linjiang's name is particularly useful, the name card was handed to the porter, and the impatient face of the porter became smiling in an instant, but after a while, An Qi, the head of the Annan County Palace, greeted him in a panic, nodded and confessed again and again: "I don't know that Lord Shaoyin is coming, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, please forgive me." ”
The king of Annan County is the half-brother of the saint, and Leng Linjiang's biological mother is the sister-in-law of the saint, it is clear who kisses and who is sparse, the princess of Annan County has holy grace in front of the saint, but Leng Linjiang was raised by the saint, and it is no different from his parent, and it is clear who has more face in front of the saint.
No matter how arrogant the people of the Annan County Mansion are, they also know how to advance and retreat, and when they meet people like Leng Linjiang, who have more face in front of the saints, they have always been polite.
Leng Linjiang smiled kindly, without the slightest arrogance: "Manager An is polite, is the princess of the county here?" ”
An Qi nodded hurriedly and said: "Yes, the princess of the county is here, but the prince went out to meet friends and was not in the mansion, so he couldn't welcome the adults in person." ”
Saying this, An Qi secretly scolded himself, which decent person didn't deliver the post three or two days in advance, how could he kill it like this.
The king of Annan and the princess of the county gave birth to a son and two daughters, the eldest daughter and the second daughter have already married, and when the young son was still in the belly of the princess of the county, the king of the county died.
This is a high-sounding statement, and it is not unreasonable, but in private, many people secretly speculate that it is because the princess of Annan County is acting too absurdly, and the saint has doubts about the bloodline of the posthumous son of the prince, so he will have this trick.
Of course, although in addition to his son-in-law and daughter-in-law, the king of Annan County left a lot of concubines and concubines, and many of them were posthumous sons, but the son-in-law was there, and there was absolutely no reason to let the concubine welcome guests, which was a slap in the face and offended people.
Leng Linjiang smiled disappreciatively: "The prince is busy, it's okay, I'm here to see the princess of the county." ”
According to the kinship, the princess of Annan County can be regarded as Leng Linjiang's aunt and a serious elder, but over the years, the princess of the county has done one ridiculous thing after another, and there is nothing left to spoil the thin elder relationship, not only Leng Linjiang, but also the other royal children who saw the princess of Annan County, they only called the princess of the county in an alienated manner, polite but not close, and never hurt each other's faces.
The people of the county palace of Annan are also accustomed to it, and the princess of the county is still proud of it, and she is ashamed to say that everyone respects her! Hearing Leng Linjiang say this, Anqi stopped being hypocritical, and Leng Linjiang's post was also handed to the princess of the county, and the princess of the county also said something ominous, remembering that her cheap nephew looked amazing.
Anqi was still thinking at the time, fortunately it was a nephew, the rabbit didn't eat the grass by the nest, and now when he saw Leng Linjiang's appearance, he gasped, such a look, it doesn't matter if the nest is not the grass next to the nest!
An Qi led the three people to the mansion, squinting his eyes as he walked, he didn't dare to offend Leng Linjiang, but he dared to look at the two entourages behind Leng Linjiang.
It is said that Leng Shaoyin is the number one Ruyu son in the capital, and he is graceful and does not know how many girls have been dumped, now it seems that Leng Shaoyin's life is good, and his entourage is not bad, especially the younger one, An Qi sighed twice, if the princess of this county sees it, can she still walk?
The Annam County Mansion is not the largest mansion in the Sixteen Princes' Mansions, but it is the most beautiful and Jiangnan mansion built.
All the way through the corridor, everywhere strange stones stand in a forest, scattered and stacked, there is a jade waterfall pouring down on the top of the stone, the water is full of moisture, cool and pleasant, the verandah of carved beams and paintings is reflected in the green and bright wide plantain and the dense forest between the bamboo, the breeze passes through, what is sent is not the rich fragrance of flowers, but the fragrance of the clear grass and trees, as if it has been washed with water.
Such a small mansion, built step by step, the scenery is breathtaking.
Passing through a moon cave door, there is a red sandalwood bird cage hanging under the verandah, the intricately carved patterns are particularly intricate, and the inlaid gemstones and gold jade are folded out in the sun to create a dazzling glazed brilliance.
But the strange thing is that these gorgeous bird cages are empty, and there is not a single bird.
He Zhenfu looked at it as he walked, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the princess of Annan County is from Yangzhou, and she really lives up to her reputation, and the garden is so exquisitely cultivated." ”
Meng Sui lowered his voice and said, "I heard that Yangzhou is a beauty." ”
He Zhenfu chuckled: "What you heard is quite accurate!" ”
Meng Sui showed a knowing smile, it seems that this princess of Annan County is indeed a beauty.
Walking through the layers of shady flower corridors, a cool breeze is set off near the water, but there is no nuisance of mosquitoes, flies and insects.
He Zhenfu was surprised, and said in a low voice: "Isn't it that the garden in Jiangnan doesn't attract mosquitoes?" ”
Meng Sui raised his head, looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly realized: "There is a canopy in this garden, which can prevent mosquitoes, flies, and insects. ”
"Canopy?" He Zhenfu looked dazed: "I've only heard of mosquito nets, mosquito repellent grass or something, what is the ceiling?" ”
Meng Suijie pointed to the edge of the flower tree and said, "If you look closely, there is a fine net all around here, and the top of the head is also." ”
He Zhenfu was stunned, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully for a long time, before he was stunned and said: "I'm a good girl, this is all full, how much silver does it cost!" ”
An Qi had already heard the whispers of Meng Sui, turned his head, and there was a faint pride in his words: "The ceiling of the county king's mansion is different from the ordinary ceiling, it is made of light and tough tencel, which can block mosquitoes, flies and insects but will not obstruct the line of sight and sunlight, but this ceiling is too light and thin, and every rain has to be rebuilt. ”
Hearing An Qi's words about treating money like dung, He Zhenfu was stunned, his jaw almost fell to the ground, and he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver all summer just to build a canopy to prevent mosquitoes, and he wanted to scold his mother to the sky.
You must know that the chewing of an ordinary family of five is only ten taels of silver a year, and the silver for building a canopy flower is enough for most of the ordinary people in the capital to eat for a year.
Meng Sui was still stable after falling down, the expression on his face remained unchanged, but his heart set off a shocking wave, he has been in the army for many years, and knows the importance of silver to the march and war, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are placed in the army, how much can this buy military horses and grass.
He Zhenfu and Meng Sui had their own thoughts, and their expressions were also different, and in the eyes of An Qi, both of them were actually shocked by the wealth of the Annan County Palace, but one was overflowing, and the other was good at disguise.
This greatly pleased Anqi, making him unconsciously straighten his back and be more proud.
Leng Linjiang glanced at An Qi lightly, the head of a county palace dared to be so arrogant, it must be the confidence given to him by the master behind him, and he couldn't help but have a new understanding of the extravagance and domineering of the Annan County Palace.
It's no wonder that when people in the capital mention the palace of Annan County, they hate it so much.
He suddenly remembered what Yao Qi often said, don't pretend to be forced, pretend to be forced to be struck by lightning.
He burst out laughing, and Anqi turned her head inexplicably.
He hurriedly smiled and nodded with a straight face: "This canopy is good, but I don't know which craftsman the county king's mansion raises?" ”
Anqi suddenly realized that Leng Linjiang's house is also famous for being rich and noble, and Leng Linjiang is famous for enjoying it, the weather is getting hotter, there are more mosquitoes and flies, and it is reasonable to spend a lot of money to build a canopy, he didn't dare to hold it up in front of Leng Linjiang, and said respectfully: "It's Wang Ji of Dongshi, and he left his name in the house, and the villain will go to get it for a while." He paused for a moment and added: "Every year, the rich and noble families in the capital return to ask Wang Ji's people to build a canopy, and if they go late, the construction period will be very late. ”
Leng Linjiang would not do such extravagant things, but he still nodded solemnly: "Thank you." ”
An Qi was flattered: "Don't dare, don't dare, it's the honor of the villain to be able to serve Lord Shaoyin, and I don't dare to take a word of thanks." ”
Although the palace of Annan County is not as large as other princes' mansions, it is not small, and it takes a moment of effort from the front yard to the inner house.
He Zhenfu looked while walking, and saw that the little maids he met were all on the side of the road with their heads bowed, standing with their hands tied, and only after they walked over did they walk away silently.
He Zhenfu was stunned for a moment, the world said that the Annan County Mansion was domineering, arrogant, bullying men and women, but there was no trace of the secret things about the Annan County Palace, and the county princess's favorite people were also brought out by herself to meet people, and others only knew, let's just say Xia Yuanji, it was also after his death, the Annan County Mansion sent someone to Wannian County to ask for an explanation, and the world knew that he was the new favorite of the princess of Annan County.
From this point of view, the rules in the palace of the county of Annan are very strict, and whether the princess of the county is so reckless on the surface is worth investigating.
