Qingchuan History

Chapter 144
But no matter Yunxi or Diyan, they are all first-class courtiers, and they are also old people who have been tested for a long time.Their skills include not only observing words and deeds, but also another court stunt, which is called seeing through but not revealing.

When Ruan Xueyin woke up, Yunxi activated this special skill.As usual, she just pretended nothing happened, wiped her master's face with a towel, and then helped her wash her hands, Fang softly said:

"Madam fell asleep earlier, and suddenly had a low-grade fever, sweating all over, but now it is sticky and uncomfortable? I can only bear it for now. There is a wound on my back. I can't take a bath recently. I will wipe it for you later. The doctor The lady said that this low-grade fever is caused by unhealed wounds and worries, so you must relax and rest quietly."

Ruan Xueyin didn't know that she said a bunch of nonsense in her sleep that she hadn't even thought about, so she didn't care about what she said.But she is not used to being served by people close to her, and feeding her medicine and food is quite enough, as for body rubbing——

Then he shook his head lightly and said:
"It's not that bad. Don't rub it. What time is it?"

"It's almost halfway through. The porridge has just been brought in and it's still warm. Do you want some for Madam now?"

Really hungry and thirsty.So he nodded and asked Yunxi to serve him to eat and drink, only to remember that he said in the morning that he would be back before lunch.

Not looking forward to his return.It's just that she didn't tell the whole story. After a long time, she was afraid of losing the details, so she wanted to speak out quickly.

"What about others?"

Naturally, it was impossible for Yunxi to say that Gu Xinglang happily ran out to investigate the case after hearing a few words in his sleep, so he could only hold back a smile and said seriously:
"It is said that those soldiers were found. Jun went up to Chutian Pavilion to ask questions, and he just left not long ago."

found it?
Instead, caught?
Not yet.Chutian Pavilion.

A total of ten soldiers of the imperial army, dressed in dark blue military uniforms, knelt down on the ground in a neat row at this moment.Even in this case, their arrangement still makes the cabinet ministers stunned:

It was almost perfectly neat, and the distance between everyone was exactly equal to the naked eye.

Gu Xinglang sat on the dragon chair and twirled the cup. There was no sound in the hall until Shen Ji said:
"There is neither evidence nor physical evidence, so it is understandable to use torture."

Then I heard all the soldiers on the ground saying in unison:

"The subordinates have a clear conscience and are not afraid of punishment. But it is up to the emperor!"

Gu Xinglang stopped his cup and looked at the row of ten heads. The pitch-black ground was as bright as a mirror, reflecting ten firm silhouettes.He narrowed his eyes slightly, and said slowly after a moment:
"Return to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Wait for the punishment. No purpose, no torture."

Shen Ji lowered his head, breathed a sigh of relief calmly, turned around and looked at the people on the ground and said:
"No thanks yet."

A group of soldiers seemed not to have recovered from Gu Xinglang's words, they were stunned for a while, and Fang Sheng said with gratitude like a bell:
"Subordinates, thank you Lord Ron!"

After prostrating in a mighty manner, a group of ten people were escorted out.Shen Ji finished his instructions outside the pavilion, returned to the center of the hall, knelt down and rang his head:
"It's Da Qi's fortune to be lenient and benevolent. I thank you again for the soldiers!"

"Get up." Gu Xinglang raised his hand to signal, and said unhurriedly: "They are all people you usually trust, and your vision is well known. And Henry Zhang has personally seen them one by one, and they are indeed affected by the drug. Accusation, the comatose time has exceeded twelve hours. Physical symptoms can never be faked."

But he wasn't really sure.After the four sisters were killed, he set a higher limit on the pharmacology of Qingchuan's contemporary medicine.

"Mrs. Ke Yu and Heng'er insisted that it was six of them. This—"

So far, the situation is not complicated. If he decides to believe that the ten guards are innocent, there is only one possibility:
Those six were six other people.somehow changed the appearance.

easy.

He has never really experienced the disguise technique, and he is not sure whether there is really a disguise method that is so clever that it cannot be distinguished at first glance.

At least in the Imperial Medical Bureau, from Henry Zhang down, no one can give a clear statement.

The biggest problem is that from yesterday evening to this time, more than ten hours have passed, and the search and arrest of the entire Xiling area is still going on. So far, no suspicious person has been found.

The manhunt started shortly after the incident, and it was impossible for them to leave Xiling before that, unless they had the ability to fly into the sky and escape from the ground.

Of course, it is also possible to use the time difference to avoid the search and arrest of the forbidden army, but this possibility is too small——

If you can avoid one wave, there will be another wave, and the next wave.If there are only six of them in total, and there is no internal response, then the number of forbidden troops will be overwhelming.It was impossible for them to avoid it again and again.

The greater possibility is to hide in one place instead.Then they need to be very familiar with Xiling and the Forbidden Army.

Six people, not a small target.Unless they divide into six groups and act separately.

The white jade cup had already been turned ten times in his hand, he put it down, and raised his eyes to Di Yan:

"Go to Zhongyu Mansion to get the list of people who came to Xiling. There is also a list of people who were originally in Xiling. All. Check one by one. Secretly."

"Zhongyu Mansion?" Diyan stared at Shen Ji, "Your Majesty, isn't it the imperial army? And, all of them, that's thousands of people."

"Do you need me to repeat that?"

"No, no. Yes, Weichen will do it now."

"Do you understand the whole meaning?"

Just as Di Yan was about to pull his legs, he shuddered again when he heard the words: "Yes. I understand."

"The lives of those ten people," he turned to Shen Ji, "healed."

When Yu Jia returned to Autumn Water Changtian, Ruan Xueyin was writing and drawing on the bed leaning on a pile of cushions.Because the wound couldn't be touched, she only leaned on her waist, but fortunately, she leaned forward slightly and didn't feel any effort.

Gu Xinglang walked to the bedside, seeing the mess of the paper, couldn't help frowning:

"What is this for?"

"Replay. Such a big hut, can't you see it?"

Ruan Xueyin still stayed in the morning context, she didn't raise her head, and it wasn't polite to say anything; but Gu Xinglang's anger had long since faded away, he raised his eyebrows, and leaned over to look at the piece of paper:

"Unrecognizable."

Ruan Xueyin stopped her hands and raised her head: "You guys are all good at drawing, I'm not as good as I am. But after sleeping twice, I'm really afraid that my memory will be wrong, so I can only draw and write, try my best to retain the impression."

you.Gu Xinglang thought about it for a while, and remembered that on the Tianchang Festival, what Wanling gave away was a scroll of mountains and rivers, other than that, no one had ever shown off his painting skills.

He somewhat realized that the phrase "you" was actually sour, and said with a half-smile:
"You don't need to be good at drawing, it's enough for me to be good at painting. What do you want to draw?"

While talking, the person has already sat on the edge of the bed, closer to the head of the bed than the previous few times, that is, closer to the person on the couch.The air suddenly thinned, and Ruan Xueyin subconsciously stepped back——

Of course there is no way to retreat, she was already leaning on the head of the bed, but because she was caught off guard, she immediately touched the wound——

"hiss--"

Hearing her cry in pain, Gu Xinglang frowned again, and leaned over to look at her back.

Sitting facing each other, if you want to lean forward to look at the back, you can only go over the other person's shoulders, and in order to see the injury, you need to pull down the pajamas from the shoulders back.So Di Yan just pushed open the false door and saw this picture from a distance, then closed the door heavily the next moment.
