"You want to ask about Gao Tinghe?"

In a corner of the empty bell and drum division, Liu Jin retreated from the eunuchs and sat opposite Lu Qi to drink tea, at this time he took a breath and lowered his voice and exclaimed.

Lu Qi nodded: "At that time, I was patrolling the palace, and I didn't know about the dormitory, did Gonggong Liu know what happened at that time?" ”

Liu Jin squinted his eyes and scolded twice: "Lu Shi reads you so bold!" What can you ask more about? Carefully let the Lord know that he has lost his holy grace! ”

"Thank you for your teachings." Lu Qi also felt a little uneasy in his heart: "I'm just inquiring." ”

Seeing Lu Qi stubbornly asking, Liu Jin told some of the details he knew.

"In fact, on the day of the emperor's big trip, our family was also in the Qianqing Palace, but we didn't enter the dormitory, but followed the prince's side and waited in the warm pavilion in the east.

At that time, there was a lot of noise outside, and our family didn't listen to it all, but I heard that the palace reported that Liu Wentai said that the first emperor was seriously ill, and asked someone to find the imperial doctor Gao Tinghe and enter the palace. ”

Lu Qi interjected: "It turns out that the imperial doctor is ill, doesn't he live in the palace?" “

"The rules are like this, and it is not easy to keep people in the palace overnight in normal times." Liu Jin shook his head: "At that time, when Liu Wentai was on duty, Gao Tinghe lived in a medical hall in Beijing, and the people below hurriedly went to find it.

Time is tight, and Gao Tinghe is allowed to come in in the carriage outside the palace! wrote a recipe to decoction of medicine, and after a while, he heard a big mess in the dormitory, Zhang Yu ran and cried and shouted, saying that the emperor suddenly bled non-stop.

The prince and the queen mother, the queen mother's sedan chair also did not take care of the superior, rushed to the palace, when the first emperor's blood was full of four or five brocade papa, the face was already in a big line, only pulled a few words of long live, and then ......"

That day, Lu Qi saw the carriage outside the palace, drove in from the corner gate, led by the eunuch, and hurried to the dormitory.

Lu Qi listened carefully and pondered for a moment: "In other words, within a quarter of an hour after Gao Tinghe came, the first emperor bled and left?" ”

Liu Jin looked away, and there seemed to be a thunderstorm in front of him again: "Yes, so Long Live Lord was furious, asked Zhang Yu and Liu and Gao Gao for the crime of incompetence, and raided the Liu and Gao families, and I heard that even the medical hall that Gao Tinghe borrowed was copied." ”

It was the Cui family medical hall that was borrowed for Gao Tinghe, and only then did Lu Qi understand that Gao Tinghe was only raided, and there was no Yi clan, so why was Dr. Cui sat together.

It's just that there's still something unclear.

"Within a quarter of an hour after Gao Tinghe arrived, the first emperor left in a big way, I'm afraid it's too late to change the prescription decoction, right?" Lu Qi asked softly.

After all, the situation was urgent, the emperor was bleeding non-stop, and the crown prince was crying in a mess, who would care if the medicine prescribed by a certain imperial doctor just now was used?

"At that time, there were only three Zhang Yu in the dormitory, and now they have all been subdued, and there is no proof of death."

Liu Jin took a sip of the teacup: "Lu Shiyu, you are a first-class smart person in the world, our family has not read any books, but our family understands a truth better than you."

No matter who we do on an errand for, in fact, in the end, we are all doing errands for Banzai, there is never anything important in the world, only Banzai is important.

No matter who this Gao Tinghe is Lu Shiyu, if he kills him, he will kill him, and he can't damage the royal face for the sake of others. ”

Lu Qi understood what he meant.

Leaving the Bell and Drum Division, Lu Qi walked to the place where he had seen Gao Ting and the carriage.

According to the usual pace of Lu Qi's inspection, it really took less than a quarter of an hour to walk from seeing the carriage to the place where he heard the bell, and it didn't even take half a moment.

In such a short period of time, it is almost impossible to change the prescription, decoction and then give it to the first emperor, and then wait for the effect of the medicine to take effect.

It can be seen from this that Gao Tinghe may really be innocent, and it should be the prescription written by Liu Wentai sentenced by the front court that caused the first emperor to bleed.

Emperor Xian has been in poor health for a long time, and it is possible that Liu and Gao were just unlucky to bump into each other.

Lu Qi sighed.

……

In the Shuntianfu prison in the evening of the same day, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, finally waited for the pardon and was able to see the light of day again.

A group of colleagues who had heard the news earlier, including three scholars, six scholars, subordinates of the headquarters and the township party, blocked the door of the prison early in the morning.

"Wang Shangshu has suffered!"

"Brother Wang, this time, it is extremely glorious!"

In these days, Wang Qiong spoke out, and the matter of being imprisoned by the emperor had already spread among the literati.

Wang Qiong's reputation was spread throughout the court, saying that he was a loyal and upright man, especially a group of literati began to follow this practice, deliberately angering the emperor in exchange for a good reputation for uprightness, such as the letter at today's court meeting.

Wang Qiong took the coat handed by Wang Jinglong and draped it on her shoulders, and saluted to all her colleagues: "Thank you, it is really a blessing for Wang to have all my colleagues speak up!" The blessing of the community! ”

After these days of imprisonment, Wang Qiong not only did not lose weight and wilt, but was in good spirits, and her face was much rounder.

Yin Lin Qi of Shuntian Mansion took a celadon wine jug: "The lower officials have nothing else to offer, prepare a little thin wine today, and remove filth for Lord Wang." ”

Wang Qiong took the cup: "I am grateful to Lord Lin for taking care of me these days, and I can't thank you enough." ”

"Where, where, this is what the lower officials should do."

After drinking, the ceremony of welcoming the old colleagues by the cabinet ministers and officials has ended, and everyone made an appointment for the next banquet, and Wang Qiong boarded the sedan chair with the support of Wang Jinglong.

Back in Shangshu Mansion, when the mansion heard that Wang Qiong had been released, it had already been lit up, and even Menzi's face was full of joy.

The wives and concubines had been waiting for a long time, and sent someone to urge them two or three times, until they saw that the old man was safe and sound, and they put their hearts at ease and hugged their heads and cried.

The wives and concubines were worried that Wang Qiong was suffering in prison, although Wang Jinglong visited every day, and Lin Qi instructed the jailers to serve, they still prepared good wine and food for him to wash the dust.

After eating, it was nearly three watches, and Wang Qiong called the housekeeper: "Go and find the third young master." ”

"Master, it's the third watch day at this time, and the third young master is afraid that he will be asleep."

Wang Qiongyi frowned: "I haven't slept yet, why did my son sleep first?" Go and call! ”

The housekeeper was busy repeatedly, and muttered as he walked out: "Third young master, it's not that the old slave doesn't help you cover up, it's just that the old man is urging you to come back quickly!" ”

"Huh?" Wang Qiong's ears are much more sensitive than before: "What did you say? What did the third young master ask you to help cover up? ”

……

At this moment, Wang Jinglong didn't know that his father was looking for him, and he was meeting Tong Zimo in a room in the Qinglou.

"Brother, is this clear?" Wang Jinglong lowered his voice.

Tong Zimo put down his wine glass: "Then can it be fake?" A servant of a medical hall in the capital reported that the owner of the hall had a quarrel with his wife last night, and he listened to it and knew that the owner of the hall had taken in a fugitive named Yun Qing last night.

Then the fugitive was taken away by two young men, and it was only a one-sided statement, and there was no evidence, so Fu Yin did not accept it.

It's just that the speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart, and when my brother heard about this, he remembered what Jinglong said the night before, and the time was also right, but it was a pity that Lu Yun's mansion was guarded by personal soldiers, and I couldn't see the real person left and right.

Jinglong, if you want to investigate further, I'm afraid you have to use Wang Shangshu's connections. ”
