Chapter 1426 Sit and reap the benefits of the fisherman (for book friend Springfallz
Manbao slept refreshed all night, and took Sanya to sit in the medicine shop the next day.
Sanya is still memorizing "Shen Nong Baicao Ji" and learning about medicinal materials from shopkeeper Zheng Da. She is making rapid progress, mainly because she likes to ask questions.
She didn't dare to ask other people at first, so she caught Man Bao and Xiao Shao asking.
I basically asked the two of them if I couldn't remember the medicinal materials I recognized. Later, I became familiar with Dr. Liu and Zheng Gu, so I started to ask them too.
So her learning progress is quite fast.
Even shopkeeper Zheng couldn't help but said to Man Bao: "Your niece is really smart. Didn't you say that your family has many children? Why don't you bring a few nephews to teach you?"
Man Bao said: "The older ones either can't learn or have gone to school. Only the younger ones can walk. Don't be in a hurry."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da lamented that there are many talented people in his family.
He also learned from his son that her two nephews were studying at Songhe Academy.
He said: "The people in your family seem to be quite smart."
Man Bao thought for a while and then said: "Like my mother, my mother is smarter than my father, but my father is not stupid either."
The two chatted and laughed, and occasionally taught their apprentices. Time passed quite quickly. Man Bao looked at the time and saw that it was almost the time she agreed to enter the palace.
So I packed up the medicine box, gave homework to the three disciples except Sanya, and sat in the lobby to wait.
The sound of horse hooves could be heard outside the door. Man Bao picked up the medicine box and went out. When he saw the people and cars waiting outside the door, he opened his mouth in surprise.
The captain of the Forbidden Army dismounted, and after cupping his hands with Man Bao, he said: "Mr. Zhou, from now on we will take you to and from the palace. This is the carriage your Majesty has given you. Please come."
Man Bao looked at this gorgeous carriage and couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch its colorful cloth and asked: "Given it to me?"
Captain of the Forbidden Army: "... I'm just giving you a ride. We will leave with the car after we capture the person who is threatening you from behind."
Manbao then turned to look at Daji, who was waiting aside, and said, "Daji, go home."
Daji glanced at the captain of the imperial army, bowed his head in agreement, and stepped aside.
He watched Man Bao climb into the carriage, hang up the curtains, and sit alone in the spacious carriage. His eyes were full of excitement, and he couldn't help but smile.
After watching the Imperial Army escort Man Bao away, Daji breathed a sigh of relief and turned around to drive home.
This is the sincerity of the prince and the deterrence of the emperor.
Yesterday evening, the prince took this box to the emperor, and the emperor was also angry.
The Queen Mother, he and the Queen both gave things to Zhou Man, and their attitude was clearly revealed, but the person behind it actually dared to ignore it and continue to threaten Zhou Man!
The emperor was so angry that his chest heaved.
Then he became confused, was this what Lao San himself meant, or was it the selfish actions of Lao San's people who stayed in the capital?
But this is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the prince actually handed the things to him and asked him to deal with it.
The emperor was stunned after he was angry.
Because according to the prince's temper, he would not leave this matter to the emperor at all. He might go to Yongzhou himself to beat up Lao San, or make trouble for Lao San's disciples and try to chop off some of his arms.
Make the court a mess, and then find someone to protect Zhou Man.
Isn't this what happened to Zhou Man before?
He didn't report it at all. The emperor would know because it happened in public and was resolved by Jingzhao Mansion.
Didn’t you notice that those who escorted Zhou Man in and out of the palace during this period were all the prince’s imperial guards?
The emperor looked down at the dagger in the box, looked at the prince in surprise, and asked suspiciously: "Are you asking me to handle it?"
The prince looked cold and asked: "Why, my father can't just let it go?"
The emperor was angry at the tone of his voice and said angrily: "When did I say we can't let it go?"
The father and son couldn't help but quarreled again, but the emperor still responded the next day. He handed the box to Yin Li and asked him to continue to investigate. At the same time, he personally sent his own guards to escort Zhou Man.
Protection is second, and more importantly, deterrence.
Zhou Man himself went back and forth between Changqing Lane and Jishi Hall many times, but nothing happened on the way. It was obvious that the people behind her didn't want to or didn't dare to take her life.
He gave her a dagger, but more importantly, he threatened her to leave the capital and not to treat the prince again.
Of course, the emperor thought so, but Mr. Tang did not.
He directly told Yin Li, "The person who overturned Zhou Man's car and threw her heart, liver and kidneys into the car is not the same person who gave her the dagger."
Yin Li raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why?"
"The former wants her life, the latter is just a threat, or even just to frame the former person." Tang He said: "The person who asked Zhou Man to find out was very bold. Not only could he drug the servants in the palace, saw off the wheels, but also
Zhou Man overturned his car and attacked the horses, causing them to frighten. Apparently he knew that Zhou Man would not be able to conquer the capital immediately just by threatening him, so he wanted to kill Zhou Man."
"But thinking also has its benefits. He is timid. The Queen Mother, His Majesty and the Queen gave Zhou Man rewards and showed an attitude, but he shrank back."
Originally, Tang He had found out some clues, but as soon as the rewards from the three bosses came, the other party cut off its tail to survive, and all clues were lost.
This is different from throwing a bloody dagger into the car while the Li family was busy drinking.
Yin Li asked, "Do you think it was the third prince who did it?"
Tang He smiled, "Sir, what matters when handling a case is evidence, not just intuition."
Yin Li said: "The people your Majesty sent to Yongzhou to reprimand Prince Gong should have arrived."
He just stated. Tang He couldn't help but sigh and said, "I'm afraid he's not the third prince."
Yin Li also felt this way, which is why he felt that the current situation in the court was chaotic and unpredictable.
The two smart men looked at each other, and Tang He stood up and saluted: "I will find out as soon as possible."
Yin Li nodded and asked him to retreat.
At this time, Prince Gong of Yongzhou was reprimanded by the emperor, and was fined three months' salary, and then banned for one month.
The third prince was dumbfounded. His father always loved him, so how could he scold him for not plowing on February 2?
Moreover, which law did he violate by not driving the plow?
Prince Gong hurriedly sent people to find the chamberlain who had come to deliver the order to inquire.
After filling him with wine all night, he finally found out what happened in the capital. Prince Gong was so angry that his face turned livid, and he couldn't help but smash his glass and said angrily: "It's not me!"
The staff all bowed their heads.
Prince Gong turned around twice and said angrily: "This is simply unreasonable. The prince is directing and acting on his own to frame him!"
One of the staff couldn't help but whispered: "Didn't His Highness once say that he wanted to drive Zhou Man away? Could it be done privately by someone who stayed in the capital?"
Prince Gong frowned, thought for a moment and then shook his head, "It's impossible. If they did it, they wouldn't not take credit. Now no one takes credit. It's obviously not them."
"Besides, I felt strange about the state banquet during the Chinese New Year. I didn't change the wine in the prince's wine flask." Prince Gong became angry when he mentioned this. Because of this, he was kicked back by his father the next day.
In the domain of the vassal, he thought thoughtfully: "It seems that someone wants to reap the benefits."
