Yu Tang Golden Boudoir

Chapter 13 Buying a Murderer (2)

The two black-clothed guards were extremely neat, and they tied the four of them into four green-fleshed browns in two or three strokes. Mrs. Xu saw that her daughter and Li Tian were doing well, and they were tied up. After putting it into the stomach, although his face was still pale and pale, he was able to calm his mind, and he respectfully and politely stepped forward to thank the two black-clothed guards: "Thank you for saving lives, my concubine is Mrs. Qingjiang Hou Shizi Mrs. Xu, I don't know which yamen your master is from, but for saving your life, you should come to the door with your husband to thank you."

"Ma'am, you're welcome, but it's a matter of little effort. There are still people in charge in the forest." Before finishing speaking, the two black-clothed guards who rushed into the forest rushed out with a human-flesh bag. The black-clothed guard who was talking saw it He turned his gaze back in a blink of an eye, cupped his hands at Madam Xu and continued to smile very politely: "Master ordered, escort Madam and a few young ladies into the city, and then send these thieves to the government office for interrogation, Madam, don't worry." Mrs. Xu hastily thanked her.

A few people dismounted, and helped up the car with the servants who were still in shock. Fortunately, the car was strong, and it was fine again after being lifted up. Two fronts and two backs escorted the crowd into the city.

Mrs. Xu sent Lin Ke back first, and then sent Li Tian to the Duke of Yongguo. Li Tian didn't let her get off the car. She didn't want to alarm everyone in the Duke of Yongguo, but Mrs. Xu sent her mother-in-law anyway. She went in and told about the robbery and murder. Mrs. Yang saw that Li Tian's face was calm, she didn't look like she had been frightened at all, and she didn't listen to her mother's words, she just weighed her clothes and was worrying about how much money she would be rewarded with. It's decent and won't reward too much.

In the afternoon, just as Li Tian was about to lie down and sleep for a while, the big man Li Xiaozu accompanied the white-bearded doctor Jiang into the Qingtong Hospital. After careful examination for more than a quarter of an hour, the doctor Jiang nodded with a smile: "It's okay, I'm scared I'm not scared, but I'm too sad, I have a little loss, I'll prescribe a prescription for nourishing the heart, don't be afraid, sister Tian, ​​this medicine is not bitter, I will add a little milk vetch honey to make a honey pill Son, it is guaranteed to be nourishing and delicious."

Depressed and helpless, Li Tian thanked Imperial Physician Jiang. This Imperial Physician Jiang is a frequent visitor to several wealthy princely residences. He is best at health care. When he was in Ningyuan Hou's residence, his grandmother invited him to come to see him every half a month. pulse, to prescribe a delicious but expensive medicine, but at this moment...how can he be invited?

Li Xiaozu respectfully gave way to Imperial Physician Jiang, and went to the front hall to prescribe prescriptions. Li Tian told Madam Xiong, "Follow me, and try to get back the prescriptions from Imperial Physician Jiang." Madam Xiong agreed, and hurriedly followed out , Yinhua came in and changed tea and said with a smile: "It is said that Nanning County Prince's Mansion invited you to come over and give Wu Niangzi a pulse."

"I'm fine, A Ke knows best!" Li Tian rubbed his brows in annoyance, Princess Jiang thought she was not troublesome enough?I really want to calm myself down, wouldn't it be more appropriate to send a few boxes of calming pills?He had to invite Imperial Physician Jiang to visit the mansion. His consultation fees are so expensive, the Yongguo Mansion must have not invited an imperial physician for seven or eight years... Li Tian sighed for a long time, the auntie must have screamed again.

Instead of screaming, Mrs. Yang jumped up.

Mammy Xiong failed to get back the prescription, Li Xiaozu had his father's order, and he must not be wronged by this fifth younger sister. Although he was honest, he was not stupid, so how could he give the prescription to Mammy Xiong? Let people rush to dispense the medicine. According to the doctor Jiang's order, ten pieces of medicine were prepared. Even the gold for the consultation and the medicine cost a total of more than sixty taels of silver. Mrs. Yang trembled with anger. He came here to harm her!
In the afternoon, Li Tian received a letter from shopkeeper Cheng. It turned out that the young man in brocade who 'saved' him in the morning was the fourth prince Qin Kun. For some reason, Li Tian felt a little uneasy in his heart. This matter has been sorted out horizontally and vertically again from the beginning to the end, but there is nothing wrong with it. Thinking about it, it is probably because of the competition for reserves. I am a little too sensitive, so I let this matter go to the side.

The government has already reported the case to Madam Xu. Only then did Mrs. Xu know that the savior was the fourth prince Qin Kun, so she hurriedly sent Yu Yaofang over to talk to Li Tian. Thank you, such a great kindness, it’s unjustifiable to keep silent, it’s too rude, thank you, the other party is so noble, I really want to come to the door to thank... Unmarried princes live in the palace, how can I get in through this door?

Li Tian pursed her lips and laughed while listening, Mrs. Xu is a kind person, she only thought of thanking her if she got a helping hand, but the status of the fourth prince Qin Kun, it would be better not to thank her.

The birth mother of the four princes, Concubine Ye Gui, is the highest-ranking concubine in the palace. Now there is no master in the middle palace. Concubine Ye Guifei has been in charge of the harem for ten years. The Ye family has a lot of descendants, so it can be regarded as a large number of talents. This fourth prince is the most popular person to succeed the emperor, but the eldest son of the emperor has been raised in the Queen Mother's Palace since he was a child, and has long been famous... Such a popular person can only Stay away and not get close, the farther away the better, besides, what is there to thank?It's just that people think that some rogues are blocking the way, so they just clean it up, maybe they have forgotten it long ago, um, the cleaner the forgetting, the better.

But Mrs. Xu is a real person, you don’t have to repay any grudges, but you must repay if you have favors. Once you find Princess Jiang to discuss it, this favor will be even more thankful. The two of them didn’t prepare any gifts. They just asked about the fourth prince’s visit. When my mother was at home, I went to Dongyang County Prince's Mansion and kowtowed in person to thank him.

It's okay for Li Tian to hear Lin Ke say something about kowtowing in person the next day. Her mind is focused on the case in the government office. This case is simple and clear. At the first trial, he was recruited, and the confession was that Yan Chengqing bought the murderer, and Guo Tui, the officer who tried the case, had seen the sinister heart of the two brothers in the Ningyuan Houfu with his own eyes, so there was no doubt about it. Involving the Marquis's mansion, a document was reported to Dali Temple.

In the upper room of a small courtyard to the east of Dali Temple, Steward Dai sat cross-legged on the first armchair, talking to Lu Tuicheng: "... Fourth Master is very angry, talking about such insane things, really It's a waste of people, and it's a retribution in this world. Let him be in the hands of the fourth master. Our ancestors are also very angry. From before to today, I don't know how many times I have asked her, saying that if it is not strictly dealt with, her old man will go The Xunguan family said go, listen to this! Our Marquis had no choice but to send me over to take a look, even this kind of thing that is inferior to a beast can be done, this Ningyuan Marquis Mansion is really unworthy to live in our capital!"

"That's right." Lu Tuicheng listened attentively, and echoed repeatedly. The case of Yan Chengqing buying and murdering his niece was only handed over to him this morning, and it has only been two or three hours now. Those who came to speak and demand strict handling have already dialed three or four times. , this Marquis Ningyuan is too unpopular!
"Please don't worry, the Eldest Princess and Lord Hou, I will handle it strictly according to the law, and I will never tolerate such wolf-hearted people!" There is nothing to hesitate about this kind of one-sided case, Lu Tuicheng flatly agreed, Manager Dai laughed and stood up in satisfaction, slipped a bank note from his sleeve and stuffed it into Lu Tuicheng's hand with a smile: "Lu Tuicheng is also busy, and I want to treat you to a glass of water and wine, but I'm afraid you really don't have the time Son, I won't bother you anymore, this is a table, right as I have invited Lu Tuicheng."

Lu Tuicheng half-pushed and took the money, sent Guanshi Dai directly to the gate of the courtyard, walked back to the upper room with his hands behind his back, took the case of Yan Chengqing's bribery, thought for a moment, and wrote the verdict.

Even the verdict of the case went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and other places in a smooth circle, and then it was announced: Yan Chengqing and his family traveled five thousand miles away, and they were not pardoned, and Yan Chengzhi, the Marquis of Ningyuan, was insane, regained his title, and had a fifty-fifty scepter , so that he returned to his hometown to study behind closed doors, and the local officials strictly guarded him.

Li Tian stared at the transcribed verdict in a daze, Ningyuanhou's mansion disappeared all of a sudden, what would grandma think if she knew?This sentence is surprisingly heavy, who played tricks in the middle?What a cruel hand!
"There was a lot of crying over there. Many people begged Madam Xiong and wanted to come and serve you. They were all born and bred in this capital city. If they said they would go back to their hometown, how could there be a place to go back?" Behind Tian, ​​he suddenly said with emotion, Li Tian slowly folded up the verdict, lifted the curtain and came out to stand in the porch, Ying Luo hurriedly took the cloak and put it on her, Yue Niang followed, and stood beside Li Tian with her hands behind her back.

I don't know when it started snowing outside, fluttering and dancing all over the sky.

This is the first snowfall in this winter month. It is the habit of the rich and powerful people in the capital. This snow has never fallen. In addition to enjoying the snow, you also have to appreciate plums, such as red plums, green plums, and wintersweet plums. Appreciate orchids, appreciate narcissus, appreciate the novel flowers that come out of the greenhouses of various houses, and the snow and flower viewing parties will be lined up all day long. This is a good time for all families to show their ingenuity and wealth. It was a three-month period that burned a lot of money.

Naturally, this is also a good time for each family to show their girls to see their wives. Since the snow, Lin Ke and Yu Yaofang rarely have time to visit Li Tian. Lin Ke is fourteen years old, and Yu Yaofang is fifteen years old. Now, I have to hurry up and seize the opportunity to show up more, so that I can make a good marriage as soon as possible.

After the first snow fell, the porridge sheds of each family had to be set up, and porridge was given out once or twice a day.Mrs. Lin was never stingy with giving, but this year, the porridge shed with the huge sign of Ningyuan Hou's Mansion disappeared, and only Rong'an Hall continued to give medicine as usual.

Before the first snow had completely melted, something happened to Rong'an Hall.

It was Wang Daqing, the son of shopkeeper Wang, and shopkeeper Sun Er who came to report the letter. Wang Daqing's eyes were red in a hurry, his forehead was full of sweat, and shopkeeper Sun Er's face was pale. The boss must have a solution, I will tell the boss."

Wang Daqing nodded again and again, the shopkeeper Sun Er took the licorice soup handed over by Qingzhi and drank it in one gulp. Carrying a well-wrapped woman, she broke in and said it was the pulse we gave you, and she took the medicine we gave. It was a minor illness, but after two doses of medicine, most of the people died. All of them sell counterfeit medicines, so such blackmail is not too uncommon. Shopkeeper Wang and I didn’t take it seriously at first, thinking that at most we would help her to extend her medical treatment and deliver medicines to cure her illness, and give her a few taels of silver. Who knew those guys started smashing the shop and beating people before they finished speaking, our shop is not empty, how can we allow him to be so rambunctious, as soon as they tied up two, people came from the government office outside."
