Chapter 200: Ji Xianbin (8)
"Since it's a 'slight injury', why does the treatment take as long as one night and one day?"

Doctor Zhuang shuddered, and suddenly raised his face, "I'm not lying! If you don't believe me, my family's servants and Mr. Zhao's eldest follower Liu can all testify, you can ask them! I really didn't lie!"

When Baoya saw the other party's reaction, he looked around more coldly, "I don't need to ask them, I have already asked the people who should be asked. Your monthly salary in Henian Medical Center is 17 taels, and The value of your mansion is at least 3000 taels. A month ago, you suddenly bought it with a lot of money and added dozens of servants. The furnishings in the living room alone seem to be worth a lot. A gold and jade western chime clock costs 800 taels, right? I would like to ask you, where did you get your money from?"

Dr. Zhuang stared wide-eyed and panted wildly, then knelt down with a "plop" and kowtowed desperately, "Master, spare your life! Master, spare your life!"

Baoya crossed his arms in front of his body, and said in a sonorous and forceful voice, "Doctor Zhuang, I tell you the truth, Zhao Sheng committed a serious crime and has confessed you. If you are willing to tell the truth, It can be regarded as a crime of sacrificing merit, if you still cover up with false excuses, you will have to be punished for a major crime of conspiracy."

Dr. Zhuang lay there with his head covered, trembling all over, and sobbing: "Master, forgive me, I really don't know anything. Eunuch Zhao gave me 8000 taels of silver, saying that he would I will be injured at the entrance of the alley, so I pretended to be a coincidence and invited him to come to my home for first aid. He did suffer a little skin trauma the night before, and he left through the back door after I got home and bandaged him. Before leaving, he told me that if someone asks From the beginning, I just said that he stayed with me until the beginning of last night. I really only know so much. I don’t know where Eunuch Zhao went or what he did. Master, I really don’t know at all, master. Mingjian..."

Baoya and his gang left before Dr. Zhuang finished crying.Dr. Zhuang got up from the ground, the cowardice and panic on his face gradually receded, and finally, he let out a few sinister smiles, the smile was deep and unpredictable.

The rain was getting thicker and heavier, and it was dawn.

The cold rain light passed through the layers of heavy gates of the Prince Regent's Mansion, in the middle of the royal road, the return of the king.

"My lord has already returned from Yanjiao. I just went to He Dao Hall. My lord, go in too." Under a long lattice window, Zhou Dun dusted off his clothes and nodded to Tang Ning, the commander of the Zhenfu Department.

Tangning walked through the clumps of bamboo and plum in the rain, and came to the study of He Dao Hall.Qi She didn't even change her clothes, so she sat in the middle and waited.

After Tang Ning saw the ceremony, she hurriedly said one by one: "The humble official has gone to the second palace of Ciqing and Cining according to the order of the prince. The prince is right. The palace is crazy. It can be seen that the residual incense on the corner of the kidnapper's clothes is indeed the "Ningyuan incense" from the Palace of Compassion and Ning. In addition, the source of the paper pierced man has also been found. This kind of paper with movable joints People are the ancestral unique skills of an old paper-making shop in central Beijing. A while ago, a customer ordered a single color-tied girl. According to the description of the shop owner, the customer claimed to have a cold and covered his face tightly. Looks, but when he entered the store, he accidentally knocked down two longevity boards, and put them back on the shelf with a raise of his hand. His strength is very strong, which shows that he is a practicing family, but his voice is "weirdly shrill". I remember The shopmates of the Sanhe Guild Hall also specifically mentioned the soft voice of the kidnapper. At that time, everyone thought it was just a cover-up like the rotten sores on his face. Now that I think about it, the sores are fake, but the voice is real. According to various signs, it can be Conclusions: first, the kidnappers were deeply infected by the "Ningyuan Fragrance" of the Palace of Compassion and Ning, so there was an aftertaste on the corners of their clothes; This eunuch possesses martial arts skills and extraordinary physical strength. There is only one person who meets these three characteristics."

Under the cloudy rain, Qi She's expression was ambiguous, and he just "hummed" from his nose.

Tang Ning hesitated for a moment, then said decisively and solemnly: "My lord, please forgive me for talking about my lowly position. This person is just a slave and does not dare to be good at it. It must be the Queen Mother behind the scenes. The Queen Mother has always been in the city and knows people and things. There is a set of skills that are not easy to measure. This incident, at first glance, was unexpected, but it is reasonable after careful consideration. The East and West Palaces have always been at odds with each other. Under the empress dowager, she has been dissatisfied for a long time. This is the first. Second, when Wang Zhenghao was punished in the early years, although the empress dowager and the prince had helped each other in the same boat, but the prince has gathered military and political power in one body for several years. The empress dowager is inevitably afraid of being suspected of being the master of high meritorious deeds, and this plan kills two birds with one stone. If the prince really fell into the trap, thinking that the kidnapping of Madam Duan was done by the East Palace, or Madam Duan was defeated by torture and copied the slander with her own handwriting. If you resign, then the Queen Mother can not only kill people with a knife, but also use the hands of the prince to secretly eradicate the East Palace, and people will use this secret letter as a trump card without knowing it. If the prince is willing to return to power, that's all. If you read it, you can show this letter and let the world attack it. Thinking about how the prince has eradicated power traitors at home, suppressed chaos at the border, worried all night, and committed to public loyalty since he was in power. He was also suppressed one by one by the prince. So loyal, the sun can learn from the sun, but he still has to be stabbed in the back, and he can't even get "a glass of wine to release the military power". Even when I think of my humble position, I can't help feeling terrified for the prince!"

It seemed as if a gust of wind suddenly blew up, and all of Qi She's thoughts were swirling in the wind like a battle flag.His lips were tightly closed for a moment, and then he said slowly: "Where has Zhao Shengren been in the past two days?"

"The night before yesterday, Zhao Sheng had an unprovoked fight with a passer-by in the Yaowangmiao alley, and he was injured on the head. A doctor from the Henian Medical Center in the alley happened to pass by and took Zhao Sheng away to rescue him. Until late last night, Zhao Sheng had just returned home, and according to Zhao's family, he had been stranded at the doctor's place. That is to say, for twelve hours, Zhao Sheng hadn't shown up in public, and the only person who could prove his whereabouts was the accommodating senior Doctor. Since Chang Sui is Zhao Sheng's own person, his words are not worth much. But early this morning, Beizhi sent someone to interrogate the doctor at He Nian Medical Center, and he quickly admitted that Zhao Sheng had bribed him with a lot of money. As for him, if he was asked to fabricate his testimony, Zhao Sheng had actually left his home a long time ago. And the period of time when Zhao Sheng disappeared was exactly the time when the crime happened." Tangning paused, and his tone was unusually heavy, "My lord, Zhao Sheng Sheng is the Empress Dowager's confidant, do you want to deal with it?"

Qi She leaned back on the back of the carved chair, once again Qingtian's fear, pain and blood and tears flashed before his eyes.Two sharp law lines stretched apart on both sides of his nose, as if the prelude to a big drama.

7.
The curtain opened, it was already past noon, and the heavy rain was on the verge.

The quiet Palace of Compassion and Ning welcomed the Empress Dowager Wang of Ciqing Palace who came to visit in the rain. Bu Yun stepped off the soft sedan chair and boarded the main hall, "I heard that the Zhen Fusi also came to my sister this morning?"

Xihe put her hand wearing the golden armor of Shuanglong Panri on her chest in front of the necklace of nine phoenixes wearing flowers on her chest. Under the uneven color light, the pale white of the palm appeared even more. "Yes, it is said that some thieves sneaked into the palace and made a fuss for a while, but no one was found."

Mrs. Wang laughed, and the skirt bell of the golden girl with a lotus hanging upside down on her waist shook, "What kind of robber? It was Wu Ran, a servant who found out about it. I will tell my sister quietly. It turned out to be the regent's surname Duan." He returned to Beijing from Yangzhou, but was robbed before entering Beijing. Because of this, the regent personally went to Yanjiao to conduct a thorough investigation. He was rescued, but he asked the robbers to come to Beijing. I slipped away, but I said something was lost, like the eunuchs in the palace, that's why I came out this morning. It said it was to catch thieves, but in fact it was to treat the people in our sister's palace as thieves. Oh, the regent The king's courage has become more and more fat, and he actually found out the heads of the two empress dowagers for a prostitute!"

Without knowing it, Xihe felt that Wang's words aroused a strange chill in her heart, which almost made her shiver.

At the side, Wang Shizao shook the big bearded golden phoenix on her head, "Wu Ran, light a cigarette." She lowered her head and took two sips of the hookah, then glanced suddenly, "Hey, sister, why don't you see Zhao Sheng by your side today?" Waiting?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a scream outside the courtyard, followed by crying and shouting.Yu Ming, who was standing by Xi He's side, bent her knees and turned away, "My servant, go out and have a look."

Unexpectedly, before he had gone far, he saw the court lady Zhuhuan rushing in, "Queen Mother, Queen Mother! Something is not right!"

Yuming bowed and tugged at her, "What's the matter, speak slowly, and carefully startled the Queen Mother."

From the hair to the teeth, the bead ring could not stop shaking, "Eunuch Zhao Sheng..."

Xi He stood up involuntarily, "Say."

Zhuhuan pointed back with one hand, "He, he, he, Mr. Zhao Sheng, he, he, he..."

"Get out! Call someone who can speak clearly!" Xi He waved his hand, and the armor scraped a streak of blood in front of Zhuhuan's forehead.

Zhu Huan cried, covered her head and bumped out, and in a flash, Quan Fu came in with the same frightened expression, knelt down and kowtowed, "The servant Quan Fu kowtowed to the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces."

Xi He still suppressed the panic in her tone, but her face turned blue and white, "What happened?"

Quan Fu seemed to have had his bones removed, and lay there trembling, "Master, Master, Master is dead, he was, was beheaded..."

The Wang family on the phoenix couch first turned aside with an "Ouch", Wu Ran hurriedly threw away the cigarette pouch, and called "Master" loudly.Xihe grabbed Yuming's arm with one hand, and squeezed her skirt tightly with the other, "Say it again."
