On the ninth day of the sixth month, when the waning moon was in the sky, Chen Shiyi, who was eager to see, finally returned.
When Chen Shiyi was covered in dust and thin hair appeared in the front hall of the Duke of Huguo Mansion, Zhang Yanling was so excited that he almost hugged him and kissed him.
"Oh, who is this? You're back." Zhang Yanling stepped forward quickly and shouted happily.
"I congratulate the Duke of the Kingdom. Congratulations to the Duke of the Kingdom for being promoted to Duke of the Kingdom. After hearing the news, I was so happy that I didn't fall asleep for several nights." Chen Shi knelt down and kowtowed to congratulate him.
Zhang Yanling pulled him up and smiled and said, "Hurry up and give me a gift. How is the matter done?"
Chen Shiyi said: "I am lucky to be humble and have not humiliated my fate. Everyone has found it and all the confessions have been recorded."
Zhang Yanlingxi said: "It's so good, so good. Where are the people? You won't bring them to the capital, right?"
Chen Shiyi laughed in a low voice and said, "Mr. Marquis... No, the Duke of the State underestimates Huye. Why has the humble rank been with you for so long? How come you don't know that this matter is important. There are so many ears and ears in the capital, so
How could I bring back the important witnesses to the capital? I settled them in the secret place outside the West City and ordered a team of personal guards to guard them closely."
Zhang Yanling pleaded with his hands and said, "Okay, that's what it should be. Tell me quickly, how can I find them?"
Chen Shiyi said pitifully: "The Duke of the State is drinking wine. He just got out of his horse and hadn't even entered the house, so he came to see you. Even my wife doesn't know that I'm back."
Zhang Yanling hurriedly ordered: "Come here, serve the food and drinks, and put them in my study."
Chen Shiyi drank half a pot of wine and ate a few dishes. Zhang Yanling was anxious, but he didn't urge him. Chen Shiyi poured a glass of wine again, burped in satisfaction, wiped his mouth,
He breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you full?" Zhang Yanling smiled.
"The food in the Duke's mansion is fragrant, but it is strange that I am thinking that I complain at home that my chef is not good at all." Chen Shiyi said.
"Where did your chef invite? The chef in my mansion was originally the master of the Fengtai Building. He was invited for 50 taels of silver every month, including food, accommodation and service." Zhang Yanling said.
Chen Shi stuck out her tongue and said, "My mother, I can't afford it."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "I'll ask you for some money. I'll have a small matter."
Chen Shi waved his hand and said, "I dare not. The marquis is already very good at serving a low position. Isn't it shameful to have me if I have to do it? Marquis, let's talk about the serious business."
Zhang Yanling rolled his eyes and thought to himself: "The hell should have said that you should have talked about what the cook cooks here tastes like. Do you want to be anxious to death?"
"According to the clues provided by the Marquis, Bei Zhi went to Shaanxi and Gansu to find people. He thought he could easily find people according to the address, but the result was contrary to his wishes. Liu Wentai, the former magistrate of the Imperial Hospital, and Fang Shuhe, was not from his original hometown.
Two escorts from the Imperial Hospital were found in Tianshui County, Gansu. However, Liu Wentai and Fang Shuhe were dismissed and hid after paying off their property. Fortunately, the humble official got their hands from a friend.
Whereabouts. Guess what? These two guys ran to Zhongnan Mountain to live in seclusion and become gods." Chen Shiyi said in a deep voice.
Zhang Yanling suddenly realized and nodded and said, "No wonder you have been struggling for so long. It is really hard to find such a big place in Zhongnan Mountain. You can't find it from one mountain to another."
"Hey, then don't mention it, what else can I do? I can only search everywhere. Bei Zhi led people to search one mountain at a time. He found the entire Zhongnan Mountain and was so tired that he was half tired. All the dry food brought by the brothers were eaten up.
I also got a few wild animals in the mountains to satisfy my hunger. My boots were worn in tatters. A brother accidentally fell into the mountain stream and almost fell to death. He was thanks to the water below, so he saved his life.
Chen Shi shook her head and sighed.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "It's really hard for everyone. Have you found it?"
"Then you need to say that the things that the Duke of the State has assigned, even if he is desperate, he must complete it. Otherwise, would he be destined to come back? Brothers agreed that if they can't find it, they might as well live in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain and become the mountain king, hahaha.
He is shameless and is back." Chen Shi smiled.
Zhang Yanling acted and wiped his sweat, saying, "Fortunately, I found it, otherwise I would have committed a crime. I want to be a widow. Your son has no father, so I have a good brother."
Chen Shiyi laughed and said, "Just say that, can this be true? But in the end, they were found in a small valley. The two guys would enjoy their happiness. The wife and children were lost, and they ran to the mountains to build a hut to farm.
He collected herbs and never planned to go out in his whole life. In the end, we found him. No matter how he hid in the sky, he could not escape."
Zhang Yanling nodded slowly and said, "They don't want to implicate their family. It's a blessing that they can escape their lives in this matter. Liu Jin must have killed them when he came to his senses. They simply disappeared, but instead saved their lives."
"It's true. These two guys refused to go with me, saying that they didn't know anything about that matter until I showed them Gao Tinghe's blood book. They were willing to come out with us. If they refused,
I must be using the strong. Damn, these two old guys are like frightened birds, and they ask the prince from time to time whether he is sure of anything on the way." Chen Shi said in a muffled voice.
Zhang Yanling laughed and said, "It's normal for them to be afraid. This matter is related to their lives, and no one dares to touch them. They were dismissed from their posts because of that matter, and their property was confiscated to pay for their crimes. It was already good that they could escape their lives. Gao Ting
He and Xu Gao died tragically in prison, and the grass on the grave was so high."
Chen Shi nodded and said, "Yes. They are pretty good. Gao Tinghe and Xu Hao are the ones who took medicine by themselves. They were exposed to the medicine, so they are the direct responsible persons. They did not die in prison, afraid that
Even if you can't live."
Zhang Yanling nodded. Chen Shiyi took out a stack of paper from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yanling. Zhang Yanling frowned and said, "What is this?"
"The confession. The above two are confessions of two servants from the Imperial Hospital. It proves that Liu Jin, the dog thief, did go to the Imperial Medical Center during the day. They were sitting in the yard basking in the sun. They didn't see Liu Jin when he went in, but Liu Jin ran away secretly
When they came out, they saw it, but they didn't care at the time. Later, something happened and many people involved. After discussing, the two of them quit their jobs and went back to Tianshui County, Gansu." Chen Shiyi whispered.
While Chen Shiyi's nagging, Zhang Yanling also quickly read the confessions of the two Imperial Hospital servants, which was basically the same as Chen Shiyi said.
"The confessions of these two people are very important. Liu Jin denied that he had never been to the Imperial Hospital. Their confessions prove that Liu Jin was lying. This is a proof of the presence, and it exposes Liu Jin's lies. But this cannot prove that Liu Jin has done it.
What? Are the confessions of Liu Wentai and Fang Shuhe?”
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said, "How much did they explain? Why are they so thick?"
Chen Shi hurriedly said, "I don't know if what they explained was useful, so I ordered people to write down everything they asked them along the way. All they said were here so that they would not miss it."
Zhang Yanling laughed in silence. After looking through a few pictures, it was all about some conversations. Some were irrelevant.
It must be like a piece of paper with such a conversation:
"Yu Yuan got up so early. Did you sleep well last night?"
"Fortunately, the bed is hard. The old waist can't stand it."
"Next time, I'll ask someone to add mattresses and quilts to you. Where is the matter? Are you sleeping well?"
"If you have any good or not, you will die if you go to the capital. Anyway, death is what is it."
"Don't say such things, you won't die. As long as you cooperate with our actions and explain what you know. Let's have breakfast and go back and get on the road as soon as possible."
"We can't stand the old bones when we are on the way. You are too arrogant. I'll just hit you to death after turning around."
"Don't say that, go back and get a car for you..."
“…”
“…”
A large stack of paper was filled with such unnutritional and boring conversations. Zhang Yanling felt his scalp numb. But when Chen Shi did this, he was a manifestation of his thoughtful behavior. He didn't know that the information was useful, so he simply recorded it all.
Let Zhang Yanling identify it. Although his method is a little stupid, this behavior is still comprehensive.
It takes time to organize these things. The conversation inside did involve some things. Zhang Yanling looked at a few photos and put away all the confessions.
"Sir, I still can't believe that Liu Jin has such a courage to use medicine to harm the emperor. Is this serious? He did go to and from the Imperial Hospital to dispense medicine, but it was not necessarily what he did.
I'm not thinking about him, I just couldn't believe it. What's his motivation to do this?" Chen Shi asked the question he had always wanted to ask.
Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Think about the situation at that time. The emperor was still in the East Palace at that time. Liu Jin was just an eunuch in the East Palace. At that time, the prince's playfulness had annoyed some people, and the queen and the emperor knew about it. There was already a rumor.
He said he wanted to kick Liu Jin out of the prince. What would you do if you were Liu Jin at this time? Leaving the prince's side, he would have nothing."
Chen Shi thought for a while and said, "If it were me, I would naturally hold the prince's thighs tightly and find a way to let the prince protect himself."
Zhang Yanling smiled bitterly and said, "You are a conservative and passive approach. Liu Jin's approach is to take the opportunity to drug the predecessor. Once the predecessor is gone, the crown prince will ascend the throne as emperor. Once the crown prince becomes the emperor, Liu Jin will ascend to heaven.
.Do you understand? If the prince doesn’t become the emperor, Liu Jin can’t take over the power. He should have been waiting for the prince to take office, but the situation is pressing, and Liu Jin can’t wait. So he started."
Chen Shiyi suddenly realized and cursed: "This eunuch is really so courageous. Such a traitor can dare to do the killing of the nine clans."
Zhang Yanling sneered: "This kind of eunuch is extremely vicious and can no longer be considered a human being. He is psychologically perverted. He can do anything for power and interests. Fortunately, we discovered it. That is his death date. What the emperor said
They can cover up all, but they will never cover up this matter. As long as the evidence is conclusive, Liu Jin will be a dead person."
Chen Shiyi said excitedly: "This time we can get rid of this disaster. When will we take action? Should we go into the palace to meet the emperor now?"
Zhang Yanling shook his head and said, "Don't panic, the evidence needs to be sorted out. The confession needs to be asked. In addition, how could it be so cheap Liu Jin? This guy has made a lot of money in recent years, but now the evidence of beheading is in my hands.
,I think it should be a knock on him and kill him again."
Chen Shi looked at Zhang Yanling in surprise, and then laughed for a moment. It was Zhang Yanling. At this time, he really had to knock on the bones and suck marrow and squeeze Liu Jin dry before killing him.
