The courtyard is deep in spring

Chapter 164 Smallpox

The voice sounded very immature, but it was mixed with deep pain.

Even though Ye Zhaoqing was well-informed, he couldn't guess what it was.

However, Liu'er at the side listened carefully for a moment, and a look of disgust appeared on his face.

"Why, do you know what happened upstairs?" Ye Zhaoqing was quite curious when he saw this.

Liu'er glanced at her, and hesitated to speak for a long time before she reluctantly said: "Miss, you don't need to know this, the guest upstairs is having fun with the man!"

"Men?" When Ye Zhaoqing heard this word, it took him a long time to realize what it meant.

Liu'er nodded, not hiding the disgust in her heart: "I don't know what those men are thinking in their hearts, but they don't even want to let men go! How can there be such a nasty thing in this world?"

However, Ye Zhaoqing's thoughts drifted far away.

That's because she suddenly remembered that there was such a masculine pervert in Ningguohou's Mansion, who treated his daughter's family as a man, and every once in a while, a female corpse would be brought out from the back door of Ningguohou's Mansion.

This person is Ye Yuzhen.

After not seeing this person for a long time, Ye Zhaoqing almost forgot her brother.

This Mr. Lin and her elder brother are like-minded.

Ye Zhaoqing naturally knew who the guest who called the male prostitute was.

"Miss, miss, are you listening?" Liu Er stretched out her hand and shook Ye Zhaoqing in front of her, "Miss, stop crying, let's go to sleep!"

Ye Zhaoqing nodded upon hearing the words.

Liu'er came over and helped her to the bed, then put down the bed curtain and blew out the candle.

However, at this time, the movement upstairs was transmitted intermittently again.

Ye Zhaoqing had no way to stop it, so he had to try his best not to hear the cry.

That night, Mr. Lin was in high spirits, and kept making trouble until midnight before going to sleep.

He didn't know at all that when he was taking the lead in having fun, Murong Shen's people had secretly sent someone to send the Dendrobium officinale picked from Qishan Mountain to the capital, and Imperial Physician Zheng who stayed in Wuliu Town for a while Already returned to Beijing.

……

Ye Zhaoqing was disturbed by that voice, and didn't sleep well until the middle of the night.

Liu'er didn't send someone to call her, so when Ye Zhao woke up, it was almost noon.

"Liu'er, why didn't you call me? What if the schedule is delayed?" Ye Zhaoqing felt bad when he opened his eyes and saw the sunshine all over the sky.

Liu'er came in with a washbasin, and said with a smile: "Miss, you didn't sleep well last night. This servant specifically didn't call you, and wanted to ask you to sleep a little longer."

"How is he?" Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes and asked.

It was inconvenient outside, so she didn't call Murong Shen by his first name.

"Master Taifu has already eaten, but his body is still very weak, so he can only lie down in the room." Liu'er replied.

"Oh." Ye Zhaoqing nodded, and he was not in a hurry anymore.

Murong Shen couldn't get out of bed, it was useless even if she was in a hurry.

Why did the people behind the scenes trap them here?
How is the situation in Beijing?

There were countless question marks in Ye Zhaoqing's heart, when he saw Murong Shen, everything was answered.

"The medicinal herb has been secretly sent back to the capital at a fast pace. Imperial physician Zheng returned to Beijing the day before yesterday. Everything is under our control. His Royal Highness will be fine, don't worry."

After hearing this, Ye Zhaoqing breathed a sigh of relief: "It turns out that you have made all the arrangements, that's great."

"I think you should worry about us now." After hearing this, Murong Shen raised his eyes to look at Ye Zhaoqing, and said with a smile, "First, they were poisoned. Guess what they will do next?"

"It's nothing more than an assassination." Ye Zhaoqing heard the words and said indifferently: "We are all dead, it will be very satisfying for that person, isn't it?"

"This is an angry word." Murong Shen smiled when he heard this, and said, "With your intelligence, I don't believe you haven't noticed something a little bit wrong."

"There is one thing, but I'm not sure yet." Ye Zhaoqing raised his eyes to look at Murong Shen when he heard the words, and said, "Can I borrow one of yours?"

"Please tell me! Between you and me, why should you be so polite!" Murong Shen said immediately after hearing the words.

"Then I will be disrespectful." Ye Zhaoqing heard the words, and then said: "I want to ask your people to check the details of Mr. Lin, and also, this person is as good as Long Yang, and it happens that my elder brother also has it. It would be too coincidental to say it was a coincidence."

Murong Shen was a little surprised when he heard the words: "Your elder brother?" He thought for a while before he realized that the person Ye Zhaoqing was talking about was Ye Yuzhen, the heir of Ningguo Marquis.

"Isn't it too far-fetched for you to suspect that they are related based on this alone?" Murong Shen expressed his doubts, but did not forget to add: "Of course, I will definitely send someone to investigate what you ordered. .”

"Then check it first, I'm not sure about anything, I just have some doubts." Ye Zhaoqing smiled and said.

Then he stood up and said, "I've finished talking, so I'll go there first."

"What are you in a hurry for?" Murong Shen immediately raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "Don't you need acupuncture or medicine today?"

"I forgot that you are a patient." Ye Zhaoqing smiled when he heard this, and immediately ordered Liu'er to get the medicine box.

"Yes! Miss!" Liu'er obediently responded, and walked out the door.

Ye Zhaoqing and Murong Shen were the only ones left in the room, they had finished what they needed to say, and the atmosphere became somewhat silent.

In the end, it was Murong Shen who broke the silence: "When the prince's matter is over, what are you going to do?"

"There are too many things to do." Ye Zhaoqing blinked when he heard the words, and said: "I said before that I would deal with Huang Quan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, so I have to prepare."

"If you don't tell me, I'd have forgotten." Murong Shen's eyes lit up immediately, as if he had found something to talk about immediately: "This Huangquan will have his fiftieth birthday next month, and many local officials will celebrate it in advance. Send someone to send a congratulatory gift, this year, do you want to join in the fun?"

"It's his birthday next month?" Ye Zhaoqing was overjoyed immediately: "That's great! What else are we going to do, go back to Beijing!"

"Don't worry." Murong Shen immediately waved his hands when he heard the words: "The prince's condition has not been brought under control, he will definitely get the news when you return to Beijing now, isn't this painstaking effort in vain?"

"It's true." Ye Zhaoqing frowned immediately after hearing the words: "What should I do? I don't want to miss this time!"

Of course Murong Shen knew that she was talking about Huangquan's birthday, and the disappointment on Ye Zhaoqing's face hurt his heart a little. The next moment, he couldn't help saying: "Don't worry, the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge. There is a way."

However, Ye Zhaoqing could not wait for him to come up with a solution after all.

The reason is that someone died in the inn where she lived.Overnight, the entire inn was sealed off, people inside were not allowed to come out, and people outside were not allowed to enter.

"Liu'er, go out and find out the news, and find out what happened." Ye Zhaoqing frowned and ordered.

"Yes, Miss!" Liu'er replied immediately after hearing the words.

"There's no need to inquire." But at this moment, Murong Shen strode in from the outside, and said with a serious face, "A person died upstairs last night."

"Who died? How did he die?" Ye Zhaoqing frowned and asked.

"The one who died was a young lady who lived in a nearby brothel." Murong Shen said in a deep voice.

Ye Zhaoqing showed surprise on his face, and was about to ask a question, but Liu'er beside him suddenly screamed: "Ah! This servant remembered! That little servant is upstairs! Every night howling in pain until midnight, I don't know what to do. What kind of torture, Mr. Lin's method is too cruel!" As he spoke, he sighed endlessly.

Ye Zhaoqing thought of the dead bodies that were kept being carried out in Ningguohou's mansion, but his heart moved slightly.

These two people have exactly the same degree of perversion!

"The young man didn't die from torture." Murong Shen shook his head, and said: "If this is the case, the government will not be alarmed at all, and this place will be put under martial law."

"Oh? Why did you die?" Ye Zhaoqing was curious.

"It's smallpox." Murong Shen said in a deep voice.

smallpox!

A dangerous virus that would kill nine out of ten people who contract it, and a disaster that some people would never encounter once in their lifetime, unexpectedly appeared here.

"Because it was found out that the young man had smallpox, the government put the law on here." Murong Shen said: "Now, even we can't get out."

When he said this, he thought Ye Zhaoqing would be scared and scream.But no.

The girl in front of him just stood there frowning slightly, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Seeing Ye Zhaoqing like this, Murong Shen inexplicably felt somewhat comforted.

The person in front of him obviously had another face and another smile, but he was always erratic, and the moment he faced her, he unconsciously regarded her as An Ning.

Is this a disease?

If so, then you will never get better for the rest of your life.

"Where is Mr. Lin? Where is he?"

Ye Zhaoqing finally spoke, but what he asked was such an unexpected question.

But it's easy to explain after thinking about it, the dead young man has been staying with Mr. Lin for the past few days, how could Mr. Lin not be infected when the young man died?

Murong Shen thought about it for a while, and said: "He is fine, he has been taken back to the county government office for interrogation by the government."

"They are really brave! How dare they take people back?" Ye Zhaoqing twitched a mocking smile when he heard this: "Aren't you afraid of being infected?"

"Mr. Lin declared that the person who was with that young man these few days was one of his subordinates." Hearing this, Murong Shen frowned and said, "That person has also been arrested and sent to the county government prison."

"It's really good to find a scapegoat." Ye Zhaoqing sneered after hearing the words: "Aside from other things, this Mr. Lin is as despicable as my elder brother. When we come to the capital some other day, we should let them compete."

In the past few days, Ye Zhaoqing has mentioned Ye Yuzhen no less than twice, and she has never asked the prince.

Murong Shen frowned when he heard this, and then said: "No, this person is not as despicable as your elder brother, he probably wouldn't do such a stupid thing as assassinate his own sister."

What he was talking about was the scene when two people met for the first time.

Ye Zhaoqing was dazed for a moment when he heard the words, as if the moonlight of that night appeared in his heart again.
