Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 66
Hearing this, Cao Yi laughed, his eyes were slightly bent, thick as ink, and like a vortex brewing a spring breeze, he was clearly a stable and mature man, yet he had the embarrassment and bewilderment of a young man .

"What's there to be thankful for? It's because I'm sorry for you."

An apology and a thank you, endless?Xin Yi found it funny, and his eye sockets were filled with traces of laughter.

"Lord Cao came here in disguise, isn't it just to apologize to me?"

Cao Yi's face was dry, his lips moved, and he couldn't speak.

"It's because... without Mrs. Zhang's permission, Cao made his own claims and said some indecent words. I am really ashamed. After thinking about it, Cao decided to come here and apologize to Mrs. Zhang..."

After a pause, he smiled awkwardly, put down the food boxes in his arms, and placed them in front of Xin Yi one by one.

"Ms. Zhang is troubled. This is Cao's wish, don't be disgusted."

Xin Yi couldn't help laughing as he looked at the food and wine brought by Cao Yi.

"Master Cao is really a strange person."

Cao Yi looked up, smiling shyly.

Xin Yi continued to laugh and said: "You are a relative of the emperor, a superior person. I am a commoner, an inferior person. Even if you do something bad, what can I do to you? So, I am very curious, What is it that makes Mr. Cao so unseemly to take such a serious matter?"

Cao Yi smiled, his cheeks were hot.

"Cao was abrupt. In front of the officials, he said he liked Mrs. Zhang."

This sentence was said so easily, Cao Yi himself was a little surprised, and then took advantage of Xin Yi's unresponsive, and explained awkwardly, "Ms. Zhang, don't blame it, it's because Cao has no choice but to make such a bad plan."

Xin Yi asked, "To save me?"

Cao Yi was a little thankful that the light in the prison was dim, and the little lady couldn't see the flush on his face.

"I'm ashamed to say that Cao didn't want to save Mrs. Zhang, but he had no other excuses. If he didn't say that, the officials would be suspicious. It's fine to doubt Cao's motives. My sister and even the entire Cao family will be jealous...A companion is like a tiger, Cao dare not bet, I really feel sorry for Mrs. Zhang."

Xin Yi was very surprised that he could tell the truth.

"Master Cao can actually lie to me? Why not?"

"Miss Zhang is ice-snow smart, Cao doesn't dare."

In fact, Cao Yi couldn't understand why he told the truth, why he trusted the woman in front of him so much, as if he had known her for many years, and could calmly admit his unseemly intentions.

Xin Yi raised his brows slightly, showing a sly smile.

"Okay, I forgive you. Then how will Mr. Cao plan to thank me for helping me?"

Cao Yi folded his hands and bowed deeply to her.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Zhang, Mrs. Cao will not let you be wronged in vain. I met my sister in Kunning Hall today, and she promised me to mediate, and she must clear the charges for Mrs. Zhang..."

"No!" Xin Yi restrained his expression and spoke seriously.

She understands the conflict between the Zhang and Cao families too well.

Although Empress Cao is virtuous and deeply loved by courtiers, even if Renzong doesn't like her, Empress Cao still has a certain right to speak.But the deeper the Cao family gets involved in this matter, the easier it will attract the suspicion of the Zhang family and the emperor.

This is a pool of muddy water, if Empress Cao goes off in person, it will only become more muddy.

Xin Yi looked at Cao Yi who was hesitant and puzzled, his black eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be smiling.

"Lord Cao really wants to help me, just stand by and watch, don't worry, the King of Guangling County will definitely find a way to rescue me."

Cao Yi was suffocated.

There was nothing wrong with these words, and Xin Yi's tone was extremely tactful, but it was not pleasant to hear, like being poured on the head by cold water in winter.

The original competition between male creatures, perhaps the seeds were planted at this moment.

In the following many years, Cao Yi still remembered the appearance of Xin Yi calmly saying "The King of Guangling County will find a way to save me" in the prison of Kaifeng Mansion that night.

Cao Yi smiled wryly, changed his quiet gaze, and changed the subject.

"One more thing, Mrs. Cao wants to ask Mrs. Zhang."

"Master Cao, please speak."

"How did Chen Chusheng die? What did he say before he died?"

Xin Yi looked at him, "Physician Chen set fire to the pagoda by himself, and then jumped into the fire. As for why he did this, whether it was to destroy the evidence, I'm not sure. Then, before he died, he was so worried about the massacre that year, But nothing useful to say..."

After a pause, she asked Cao Yi, "Does Master Cao have any clues?"

Cao Yi shook his head, "I was thinking about the secret letter that lured me and Zhang Yaozhuo to the Yaowang Pagoda. Who did it, and what is the purpose?"

Xin Yi smiled, "Sowing dissension? Knowing that the Cao family and the Zhang family have old grievances, they deliberately lure you to fight each other, so that the fisherman will benefit?"

Cao Yi: "It sounds like that. But the conflict between the Zhang and Cao families is known to everyone, so why provoke it?"

"..."

Xin Yi felt that Cao Yi's words made sense.

In a fire, Chen Chusheng destroyed the Yaowang Pagoda, but left many doubts.

"Then I can't guess."

Xin Yi shook his head, with a relaxed tone and a smile, but Cao Yi didn't smile at all, with a gloomy expression, as if he wanted to say something, but hesitated to speak.

Xin Yi's eyes moved: "Master Cao, just say what you want to say?"

Cao Yi frowned slowly, "The officials gave you three days. After three days, if no strong evidence can be found to clear you of the suspicion, the officials will follow Zhang Yaozhuo's request and punish you."

Xin Yi snorted: "The official's heart is off the mark."

There is a rule in the law of later generations called "whoever claims to give evidence", that is to say, evidence must be presented to prove that others are guilty, and it should not be the person who is accused of proving his innocence.

Because it is difficult to prove innocence, but it is not too easy to find fault with people.

Cao Yi remained silent.

Is it not the only thing that the officials are partial to the Zhang family?
"Ms. Zhang, don't worry, Mr. Cao is not talented, but he will do his best, and will not teach you to be wronged for nothing."

"Lord Cao?" Seeing his resolute appearance, Xin Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.

Cao Yi smiled slightly, "Eat something so you can rest. I can't stay for a long time, so I'm leaving now."

Maybe it was because he was really guilty of Xin Yi's imprisonment, before turning to leave, Cao Yi suddenly stopped, and turned his head to give Xin Yi a deep look.

This glance is deep and long.

Xin Yi felt uncomfortable being looked at by him, so he strode away, the footsteps were fast and powerful in the empty cell.

……

……

Lazy in the house on a windy and snowy day, time seems to pass very slowly.

In Linuzhuang, far away from Bianjing, earth dragons were burned to keep the cold out.

A group of cat slaves gathered in Baihua Pavilion to watch cats "kick the shuttlecock".The shuttlecock is filled with chicken feathers, and the cats seem to have a natural enthusiasm. You come and play with each other, and the cat slaves are chattering, which is very lively.

Fu Jiuqu likes to be quiet. Apart from cats, there are not many people in Li Nuzhuang.

Ever since Luo Tan was killed by Sun Huaizhang, the cat slaves in Zhuangzi were more cautious.When Jinzhan was sent back to Li Nuzhuang, Biyan, the current manager, took care of her personally, and she didn't dare to let him out of sight. She was really treated like a little ancestor.

"Ninth Master."

Bi Yan is a thin and tall girl, about seventeen or eighteen years old. She was ill after Luo Tan's death, and she just recovered. She had a sickly face like a lotus flower, but the master braved the wind and snow to come to her. Nuzhuang, she didn't dare to take it lightly, and anxiously waited on her side.

"The cat chef has prepared the meal for Jinzhan. The servant girl will bring it here, or should it be cooled for a while?"

Fu Jiuqu didn't raise his head, looked at the golden zhan playing happily with the golden hook hanging upside down on the cat climbing frame, and said lazily, "Bring it here."

Bi Yan: "Yes."

The two cat slaves brought the meal in silver cat bowls, Biyan took it, and was about to hold the golden cup down to eat when Fu Jiuqu got up.

"I come."

Biyan was slightly startled, seeing that he didn't speak, handed the cat bowl respectfully to Fu Jiuqu's hand, then silently stepped aside.

"Jinzhan has a good appetite for the past two days. He likes fish, chicken and duck..."

Fu Jiuqu put the food bowl away and waited for Jinzhan to eat. He stroked its fur very patiently, with a calm and gentle expression.

Biyan observed her words and expressions, and just after she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Fu Jiuqu say, "Go and get Jinzhan's cat cage ready."

Bi Yan was full of surprises, but she didn't dare to ask more questions.

Fu Jiuqu would not explain anything to the cat slave, but Biyan knew that the eldest princess had always had conflicts with cats, and she would get sick whenever she touched a cat. Therefore, the king of Guangling County would never bring the cat back to the eldest princess' mansion. Besides Li Nuzhuang, where can the calendula be taken?

Could it be that it was given to the woman surnamed Zhang?
Bi Yan guessed suspiciously in her heart, just as she brought the cat cage over, she saw Cheng Cang approaching with a knife, and said in a very low voice.

"The king of the county. The young master came over and said that there is something urgent to report."

Fu Jiuqu stroked Jinzhan's hand, paused for a moment, turned his head without changing his expression, motioned for Biyan to come and serve Jinzhan, then strode out of Baihua Pavilion and went straight to the meeting room in the front hall.

Cai Qi waited at the door.

Fu Jiuqu raised his hand, motioning for him to go in.

When the two entered, Cheng Cang closed the door and stood guard outside.

Fu Jiuqu asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Cai Qi's expression was anxious, and his skin was slightly red. It was obvious that he came riding a fast horse in the wind and snow.

"Chonglou, the inspector has to report bad news."
