Lady Wan Guan

The next day, several adults from the Criminal Department and Gu Zhouding gathered in the East Palace.

Xiao Wang glanced around and saw that the adults looked bad. They probably didn't sleep well last night.

"The Emperor has inquired about this case again this morning. One day has passed within the three-day limit. Sirs, has there been any progress in the case?"

The two ministers from the Ministry of Justice looked at Du Shangshu. Du Shangshu pretended to be old and had bad ears, and focused on blowing the tea leaves in the teacup.

Then everyone looked at Gu Zhouding opposite.

Xiao Wang sighed in his heart, the punishment department was either a waste or an old man, so there was no hope for him.

"Master Gu, can you tell me?"

Gu Zhouting pondered: "The murder weapon has not been found yet, and the murderer's method of committing the crime has not been solved. Everyone in Prince Su He's house is suspected. It is better to check one by one, especially the guards who entered the study that night and are already on duty in the inner courtyard."

"Master Gu, didn't you already interrogate them yesterday? No problem was found!" Gong Shilang said.

He thought that Mr. Gu could show off his ugly appearance, but he ended up being as clueless as them.

"In my opinion, there is no need to go to such trouble. The murderer must be someone who has entered the study. He will be tortured directly and made to confess and be held in custody." Another Zhu Shilang said.

Gu Zhouting snorted and snorted: "Torture? Those are the people Prince Su He brought from Dayuan or recruited by himself. You want to beat him into submission? Will Duye Khan think that Da Qi is shirk? responsibility?"

"Besides, what's important now is finding the murderer?"

The two ministers were shocked by this argument. Why are we sitting here if we don't find the murderer?Have a chat over tea?

Xiao Wang was convinced, yes, the most important thing now was how to give Dayuan an explanation.

Prince Suhe was a minister whom Duye Khan relied on very much. Now that he was on an envoy to Daqi and died in the capital of Daqi, Prince Duye would be furious.

"Master Gu, please elaborate."

Gu Zhou stopped and said: "Since we can't find any useful evidence now, it's better to investigate the murderer's motive. Yesterday's interrogation asked whether these people had the opportunity to commit the crime. The focus was different. This time we want to investigate their details. It would be better if all eight generations of our ancestors were dug out.”

Xiao Wang looked at Du Shangshu: "Master Du, what do you think?"

Du Shangshu seemed to have just discovered that His Highness the Crown Prince was talking to him, and he plucked his ears: "Your Highness, what did you say? Is this tea good? It tastes good..."

Xiao Wang was speechless for a while, and stopped talking nonsense: "Just do what Mr. Gu wants."

Everyone retreated one by one, and Xiao Wang called Gu Zhou to stop.

"Have you already got an idea?"

Gu Zhou stopped and said: "In short, people can die in Daqi, but they cannot be killed by Daqi people."

As for how to operate, just play it by ear.

Xiao Wang nodded in agreement: "Zhou Ting, my father values ​​you very much, and so do I. Master Du of the Criminal Department is old and it's time to retire. I hope you will take over. You are the most suitable candidate."

"Your Highness, I feel that the position of Minister of Dali Temple is more suitable for me."

Xiao Wang sighed: "You can think about it again."

He finally sat on the throne of the prince. If he could get Gu Zhouting and Ji Yunchen as his right-hand men, he would definitely be able to achieve greater things. However, just because he married Qin Siyue, all his former friends fell out with him.

Gu Zhou stopped leaving the palace and met the dusty Ji Yunchen at the palace gate.

The two of them looked at each other and passed each other without paying attention.

As night fell, Gu Zhouting returned to Houya early and ordered Xing Feng to brew a pot of Qishan black tea.Not long after, Ji Yunchen came.

"I asked why the emperor was so anxious to send me back to Beijing. It turns out that Su He is dead." Ji Yunchen looked happy.

"I see you're quite happy, what? Are you ready to fight? Are you sure you can win?"

Ji Yunchen disagreed: "If Dayuan comes to attack us, we will fight even if we can't win. Let me tell you, after these days of rectification, the atmosphere in Beidaying will be completely new and different from the past."

"Why can Zhenbeihou's army be called the Iron Army? It's because they have strict discipline and are diligent in training. With Zhenbeihou taking the lead, the soldiers can move forward bravely. I can also bring out such an iron army." Ji Yunchen was full of confidence.

The conversation changed: "However, thank you for helping me find out the details of Beida Camp first, otherwise things would not have gone so smoothly."

Gu Zhouting poured him tea: "Does the Emperor want you to be ready for war?"

"Well, if you can't come up with an explanation that satisfies Duye Khan, the Beida camp will have to head north. Gu Zhoupai, tell me, can this trouble be solved?"

Gu Zhouting's lips curved into a cryptic smile: "You'd better go back and continue training!"

There will be no war until you bring out an iron army.

I will do it no matter what.

Ji Yunchen was a little disappointed. He desperately wanted to fight Dayuan, but his reason told him that it was not the time yet.

The internal worries have not been eliminated, and the troops and horses are still too weak.

"By the way, I passed by Hengchang Street today. There were many people queuing up to see a doctor there. However, Sanxitang behaves strangely. It only sees [-] patients a day, and the rest are not accepted unless they are emergencies. Also, how did I hear that? Did Sanxitang's doctor go to see that boy Qin Silang? I heard that Qin Silang's condition has improved greatly... Does the name of Sanxitang sound familiar? "

"It sounds familiar. Dr. Lin, who followed Mrs. Jiang, has an ancestral pharmacy in Jiangcheng called Sanxitang."

"No wonder, I said I heard it somewhere."

Ji Yunchen seemed to have thought of something: "Could it be that Dr. Lin opened Sanxitang in the capital?"

"Doctor Lin is just the second boss, the real boss is Madam Jiang, and it is Madam Jiang who treats Qin Sirang."

Ji Yunchen was surprised: "She is also a doctor?"

"If it's true, they took the medical qualification exam on the third day after arriving in the capital. I went to the medical office to check the records."

"Then...then why does she want to treat a scumbag like Qin Sirang? Can't bear it in her conscience?" She gave someone a stroke after being frightened and then went to treat someone else?
"Well, it's a long story. The opening of Sanxitang is in urgent need of establishing a reputation. At the moment, there is only one difficult disease in the capital. You see that Sanxitang is crowded with people, which is the effect of treating Qin Sirang. However, Jiang My wife has another purpose for doing this."

"What's the purpose?" Ji Yunchen was extremely curious.

Gu Zhou stopped tasting the tea and couldn't help but sigh again at the accuracy of Jiang Wanning's deduction. Today, the emperor mentioned the candidate for Minister of War and intended to appoint An Pingbo.

Gu Zhou stopped and put down the tea cup, and said slowly: "I want to cause some trouble for the Anping Mansion."

Ji Yunchen thought for a moment: "You mean... to make the fight for the heir apparent in the Anping Mansion more lively?"

Just as he was talking, Zheng Guan reported outside the door: "Sir, there is something important."

"Come in and talk."

Zheng Guan entered the study and bowed his hands.

"Sir, just now, I got the news that Mrs. Jiang and Doctor Lin were riding home in a carriage. They encountered robbers on the way. Fortunately, Xiao Pan was very skilled and our people provided timely support, so he was not kidnapped. It's a pity that those robbers Ran."

Gu Zhouting's eyes suddenly turned cold, his face was frosty, and he said to Ji Yunchen, "I'll go take a look."

Ji Yunchen said hurriedly: "I'll go too."
