Chapter 111: Drawing
Zhao Jinshan chuckled violently in his heart.
Has this been found out?
No, it should just be suspicion!
He quickly laughed twice, and pretended not to know anything, "Robbing the pharmacy? I really don't know about this, my lord, you are really mistaken, what am I doing robbing the pharmacy, there are no seriously ill elderly people in my family, and I don't know how to heal. ”
"Hmph, it's hard-mouthed."
Xu Fuzhi stood up, stared at him and sneered a few times, and then looked at the few people holding the torture instruments beside him, "Since the prisoner has a hard mouth, then you are responsible for priing his mouth open, in short, within today, this official must have a result, understand?" ”
"Understand, sir, just leave it to us!"
Several people hurriedly patted their chests to reassure, for fear that they would not behave actively.
Seeing this, Zhao Jinshan was a little panicked, and blurted out: "My lord, you are going to torture to extract a confession, my lord, you are violating the law by doing this." ”
Immediately saw the gaze of several jailers looking at him, that gaze was clearly like a vulture seeing carrion, in the gloomy light of the dungeon, it seemed to emit a green light, Zhao Jinshan trembled with fright, and immediately weakened his legs.
"Your Excellency, bypass me, I really don't know anything!"
He panicked and hurriedly grabbed Xu Fuzhi's trouser legs, but was kicked away by Xu Fuzhi.
Not long after Xu Fuzhi walked out of the dungeon, a terrible scream suddenly came from inside.
In the afternoon, when he came back, Zhao Jinshan had been tortured to the point of being inhuman, his skin and flesh were in tatters, blood was flowing all over the ground, and there were only a few breaths left, and he was almost out of breath.
But this has no effect on him, and after so many years as an official, these scenes are trivial to him.
Several jailers immediately stepped forward excitedly to show their merits.
"My lord, Zhao Jinshan has already drawn a charge, and everything that should be said has been said, bribing Lord Wei, robbing the Mo family pharmacy, and making Wushisan, and where the raw materials for Wushisan came from, all of them have been made clear.
As he spoke, he handed the confession that had been drawn to Xu Fuzhi.
"Well, well done."
After speaking, Xu Fuzhi looked at the little girl who followed him and said: "Go, tell the girl in the second room of the Shen family, and say that the real culprit who killed his father has been found out, it is Zhao Jinshan, in addition, find out the medicinal materials lost by the Mo family pharmacy, and convert them into an equal amount of silver taels to compensate them." ”
"Yes, sir."
Everything is over, at night, Xu Fuzhi sat alone in Wei Wei's courtyard and the like, looking up at the semi-circular moon, and did not move for a long time.
After a long time, he took out the letter from the eldest prince and Wei Wei from his chest, looked at it for a long time, and wanted to destroy it, but finally put it back.
Recently, the crown prince was injured, and the eldest prince was obviously much more active in the court, and even heard that he had made friends with a lot of ministers in private, and he was a little unimpressed about this matter, after all, the prince was hand-picked by the emperor and had outstanding ability, and the relationship between the brothers seemed to be good on weekdays.
But this burned letter almost made the ambition that the eldest prince had hidden for a long time come out!
He is a pure minister, and if he has to talk about the team, he still prefers the orthodox prince, so this letter is not destroyed!
It's just that I'm afraid it's going to be chaotic this day.
He muttered.
"My lord, it's deeper, the weather is cold, you can rest early."
Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, the little guy who had been following him couldn't help but remind, "Otherwise, I'll have someone prepare you a pot of hot tea, a few snacks, and your cloak, and I'll have to fetch it for you." ”
"No need." Xu Fuzhi shook his head, "Sleep, we will leave for Beijing tomorrow." ”
At this moment, the courtyard of the Shen family.
Shen Youqiu slept for a long time during the day, coupled with the notification and compensation of the official uniform, the long-pent-up qi in his heart suddenly cleared, his mood was very happy, and his brain was also excited, so he couldn't sleep at this time.
After lying on the bed for a long time without feeling sleepy, she quietly got up, put on her coat, and walked out slowly in the direction of the moonlight.
"The moon is so beautiful tonight."
She stared at the moon and couldn't help but admire it with joy.
Although it is only half a moon, it seems to be brighter and more complete than the full moon.
I was about to lie down on the chaise longue when suddenly, my stomach rumbled twice out of place.
"Why are you hungry now? Didn't you eat all the night? ”
Shen Youqiu muttered twice, shook his head, and was very helpless, "It seems that I was fed by Qi Jingxing's guy in the middle of the night before, and I got used to feeding it." ”
However, she didn't grieve her stomach, and immediately laughed, ready to sneak into the kitchen to see if there was anything delicious.
As soon as I slipped into the kitchen, a familiar fragrance wafted in, the smell seemed to be absent, but it was so obvious.
What exactly does it taste like? It made her hungrier!
After smelling intoxicated for a while, she suddenly reacted, isn't this the taste of the pastries that Qi Jingxing brought her before?
After realizing this, a trace of surprise and anticipation flashed in her heart that she had not even noticed.
"You've got a pretty good nose."
As if confirming her thoughts, Qi Jingxing's voice with a slight smile immediately came from her ears.
As soon as the words fell, Qi Jingxing fell from the courtyard wall like a light bird in the dark night, and he was still holding a food box with the lid open.
The smell wafted out of the food box.
She immediately swallowed subconsciously.
It smells so good.
"I knew you wouldn't be able to sleep tonight, so I brought something to eat for you, let's eat."
As he spoke, he took out the same food inside, and finally took out a jug of wine.
"This is a special osmanthus brew, the taste is clear and sweet, it will not be very intoxicating, you can try it."
"Bringing wine over tonight?"
Shen Youqiu glanced at him strangely, picked up the wine and looked at it, shook his head, and said with a smile: "You underestimate me too much, my wine is very good, just this osmanthus brew, I drink it like drinking water!" ”
Qi Jingxing smiled and said nothing.
Whoever drinks badly, he knows it.
"Eat."
As he spoke, he touched Shen Youqiu's head and said with a smile: "In the future, I won't come over in the middle of the night to bring you something to eat." ”
"I didn't let you send it."
Shen Youqiu picked up a piece of mung bean cake and put it in his mouth, glanced at him a little arrogantly, and said vaguely: "Besides, I won't go to prison again in the future, of course I don't need you to send it." ”
"Hmm."
Qi Jingxing nodded, and a faint smile kept hanging on the corner of his mouth.
After eating a few bites, Shen Youqiu noticed that something was wrong with this guy today, and looked up suddenly, only to find that he had been staring at himself, and that look-
Her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she quickly lowered her head, a little inexplicably flustered.
