Chapter 22

Yan Zhaohe obviously didn't want to only get the news, Kou Dan's lies were unbelievable, but Chu Niang wasn't necessarily sure.The young lady just came up, as if she had prepared a set of excuses long ago, just waiting for Zhang Dazhong to ask, but she didn't expect that Kou Dan would rush up to take the blame for her.No matter what Kou Dan said, once it slightly overlaps with what she planned, Zhang Dazhong will definitely do more research on the overlap.

What's more, it seems that the relationship between Kou Dan and Chu Niang is not simply the relationship between the boss and the girl in the building.

Thinking about this, Xun suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his right brain, as if someone had stabbed him out of thin air.He immediately closed his eyes tightly and then opened them again, forcibly resisting the subconscious urge to touch the painful area with his right hand, he only shrank his hand under the table and clenched it tightly.

"Does Your Majesty want to listen to the confession of the young lady again?" Yan Zhaohe asked.

Xun Zhui's palms were full of sweat, he pretended to be unable to bear the heat and shook his head.

"The minister asked Mr. Zhang to report to the palace tomorrow."

Zhang Dazhong might not be able to close his eyes tonight, Xunzhui needs to go back to the palace to have a good rest.

Investigating cases is not what he should do, let alone what Yan Zhaohe should do. Why is there such a relationship between superiors and subordinates?Isn't it just to distinguish the relationship between the two?The superior is only responsible for issuing orders and leading the overall situation, while the subordinates are responsible for implementing the orders of the superior.

He could understand that Yan Zhaohe deliberately made this matter a big deal in order to train him, and deliberately fought against him, forcing him to understand a little bit.

But Yan Zhaohe has been too weird recently, not only wants to push him forward, but even wants him to travel thousands of miles a day.

On the way back to the palace, Xun Zhui fell asleep in the carriage, Yan Zhaohe sent him to the bedroom, he quickly changed his pajamas and jumped into bed.The next morning, when he got up early in the morning, he heard Wang Gonggong tell him to drink medicine, so Xunzui waved his hands and turned over and fell asleep again.

Wang Gonggong stood beside the couch with porridge and did not give up, saying earnestly: "Your Majesty, just eat a little. After a while, the imperial doctor Zhou will come for a follow-up visit and blame the old slave for not being able to persuade you. Eat a little food is good for your health."

Xun Zhui covered his head and said that even if he ate, his body would not be able to handle it.

Wang Gonggong's voice was like a devil's voice, and Xun Zhui rolled another body deep in the bed in pain.

"His Royal Highness King Zhao."

"Boom." Xun Zhui slammed his head against the wall, his head was sweating profusely wrapped in a quilt, and looked like a big chubby bug from a distance.

"Go back."

It was Yan Zhaohe's voice, and then Xun Zhui felt that his quilt was being peeled off from the outside bit by bit, just like peeling an orange.Yan Zhaohe's cold hand reached in and put it on his shoulder. Xun Zhui was already too hot, so he immediately rubbed his cheek against his palm.

Yan Zhao and Wen Sheng: "You can continue to sleep, just get up and eat before going to sleep."

Xun Zhui covered half of his eyes because he thought the light was too strong, he blindly closed his eyes and found Yan Zhaohe's waist, and buried his head in it.Yan Zhaohe wears the same jade pendant on his waist all year round, and the cold texture of the jade pendant just hits Xun Zhui's eye sockets.

"Your Majesty, I'm going out for a few days, and I'll take care of everything before I leave, but please don't leave the palace at will." Yan Zhaohe stroked Xunzui's back lightly, and Xunzui's back was visibly stiff, not as relaxed as before.

Yan Zhaohe said with a smile, "If you don't know what to do about something, Your Majesty can just sleep like this and wait for the ministers to come back to deal with it. The servant of the Ministry of Punishment will also help His Majesty. Inside."

Xun Zhui stretched out his index finger to write, and asked Yan Zhaohe what he was doing.

Yan Zhaohe patted Xun Zhui's hand, "It's not a personal matter."

Xun Zhui said again, do you have a private matter?

"I have only one person in my family, and I have nothing private to do with my family." Yan Zhaohe said rather amusedly, "Did your Majesty not let me leave if it's a private matter?"

Xun Zhui didn't answer again, until he heard the collision of the spoon and the porcelain bowl, Yan Zhaohe said that today's porridge was very good.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty will be leaving soon, won't Your Majesty say something auspicious?"

Xun Zhui opened his eyes in the darkness.

"At least let the minister feel at ease that His Majesty is alone in the palace."

Maybe it was Yan Zhaohe's tone that seemed a bit flimsy in the empty bedroom, or maybe it was because of the inexplicable coolness in his tone, Xun Zhui sat up slowly with his hands on the bed, the quilt slipped from his shoulders, and they were all piled up at his feet .

"Open your mouth." Yan Zhaohe had already handed over the spoon containing the porridge.

Xun Zhui's throat and eyes were dry, eating this spoonful of half-cold porridge, although it was not as nourishing as water, it was still slightly relieved.

Yan Zhaohe said that he would come back soon, but Xun Zhui didn't think he would really go and come back soon, a terrible idea suddenly popped up in his heart.

He grabbed Yan Zhaohe's hand holding the bowl, Yan Zhaohe didn't pay attention for a moment, and almost spilled the porridge on the bedding.

Xun Zhui rushed to the study to get the pen and paper, ran back quickly, put the inkstone on the ground and wrote: "You will not come back."

Yan Zhaohe fed Xun Zhui another spoonful of porridge, "No."

"Yes." Xun wrote.

"I have never lied to Your Majesty."

Blocking the ground and chasing him speechless.

Xun Zhui didn't ask him what Yan Zhaohe said about official duties.Xun Zhui wasn't in the nature of breaking the casserole and asking the end, besides, the more he knew, the more troublesome he would be.

"Do you need to pick a young eunuch from me to serve?" Xun Zhui wrote again.

"No, there are too many people showing off." Yan Zhaohe said, "I still say the same thing, don't go out of the palace, the capital is not peaceful, as long as your majesty goes out, you will be a target."

Finally, Xun Zhui didn't talk back, and Yan Zhaohe's frowning brows finally eased, "The imperial physician Zhou is waiting outside, and I should be getting impatient now, so I won't disturb your Majesty's rest. Don't get angry with the imperial physician Zhou, Chief Physician It is for His Majesty's health."

Imperial Physician Zhou didn't have a bad face today, he was very gentle with Xun Zhui, and he was much gentler in his pulse diagnosis.

Doctor Zhou said with a smile: "Your Majesty's physical recovery is faster than I imagined. I think I should take a good rest and take medicine on time."

Xun chased and wrote: When did I not take medicine properly?

"The flowers and plants in Your Majesty's Palace always don't grow big, and they have to be replaced in half a month, which is not very good." Doctor Zhou said.

Xun Zhui snorted coldly, what if he just poured medicine into the flowerpot?

"However." Doctor Zhou's voice changed, "The medicine is three-point poisonous. Your Majesty really needs to drink less."

It wasn't until noon that Xun Zhui realized that Yan Zhaohe had come to say goodbye in the morning.

He asked Wang Gonggong when King Zhao would leave, and Wang Gonggong touched his forehead and said that the old slave would ask.

The prince sent someone to ask the commander of Chu, and Chu Yang replied that he set off in the morning and should have arrived at the first post house by now.

The few days before Yan Zhaohe's departure was still very peaceful, Xun chased, ate, slept, and even went to court perfunctorily, and Chu Yang blocked King Chong's coming to pay his respects.

Zhao Chuanzhi reported the case with all the evidence that Yingge Xiaozhu had. Zhang Dazhong was capable after all. After a few days, Kou Dan's confession was completely overturned, and the contact points of all known evidence were re-established.

Zhao Chuanzhi's evidence was in duplicate, one was presented to Xunzhui, and the other was held in his own hand.Wherever it was mentioned, he told Xunzhui the number of pages, and Xunzhui would turn to that page.

"Master Zhao has more experience than ministers. Yesterday, Master Zhao proposed a hypothesis when discussing with ministers. The population of the capital has been investigated, and the records of which alleys and households are recorded in the government. In the past few days, the government has reported , and not a single family has lost their population, which proves that the source of these corpses is not in the capital."

Zhao and Zhang didn't know that Xunzhui was abducted to Yingge Xiaozhu, but Xunzhui remembered clearly that Yingge Xiaozhu's proficiency in knocking him out was no less than that of street thieves who walked away with money. The two must have committed crimes frequently.

A word that the little girl said that day flashed through his mind.

When I go back, my mother will personally find the best doctor for diagnosis and treatment, and selling him is worth several times that of the previous oiran.

Mother?Oiran?

Who is the oiran of Yingge Xiaozhu?

Xun Zhui wrote: "Who is the oiran of Yingge Xiaozhu?"

Zhao Chuanzhi said: "Your Majesty, please turn to page No.12. The current oiran of Yingge Xiaozhu is a woman named Koudan. The previous oiran was named Yu Yao. A businessman in the capital."

For some reason, Xun Zhui's heart was beating wildly from this moment, and he had to hold it down.Immediately afterwards, a chill came up his back, and he accidentally knocked over the teacup by his hand.The teacup didn't fall to the ground, but rolled around the edge of the table and returned to Xun Zhui's hand.

All of these must be connected, and it is impossible that there is no connection at all, from Yubi's death to the bones in the backyard, to Kou Dan's confession.All of this seems too deliberate, as if the plot has been programmed in advance, waiting for the storyteller to unfold it one by one for people to watch and suspect.

Xun chased to find Chuniang's confession, under Chuniang's name, the confession wrote a word "No".

The young girl refused to confess and wanted to keep Koudan, which is obviously such a contradictory cycle, but it is reasonable and scary.

"Go to Yuyao." Xun wrote.

Zhao Chuanzhi was obviously taken aback when he received what Xun Zhui wrote, "Yu Yao?"

"Your Majesty does not know. The minister and Mr. Zhang have indeed thought about looking for Yuyao, but the businessman is in the south and only goes to the capital every winter. If he wants to look for Yuyao now, he must go to the south. But now the plague is rampant in the south. The road to the north has been blocked long ago, even if someone is sent to find it, what will we do if we bring the disease to the capital?"

"Young Niang has already been tortured, but she still refuses to say it. I'm afraid she won't last a few days if she is tortured again."

It must be a positive and important existence for a person who can make a person suffer from flesh and blood and still have a firm belief.

Such as relatives, such as lovers.

Xunzhui rubbed the center of his brows, Zhao Chuanzhi reported a few unnecessary clues, and when the prince came in with cakes, Xunzhui asked Zhao Chuanzhi to back down.

What he thought of, Zhang Dazhong must have thought of, it should be that there is no specific evidence to prove it, so he dare not report rashly.

There is only one character difference between Yuyao and Yubi. There are many girls named Yu in Yingge Xiaozhu, but the case has developed to this point, and people have to think about whether there is any other connection between these two names.

After eating a piece of pastry, it didn't seem to be the craftsmanship of the imperial dining room. He asked the prince which cook made today's pastry.

Wang Gonggong: "Before leaving, His Royal Highness Zhao said that the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and His Majesty has a bad appetite, but he has to eat. So he brought in a few cooks from the mansion, and His Majesty has a keen sense of taste. This pastry is the cook of Zhao Wang Mansion. did."

Yan Zhaohe had also been away for several days, and it didn't look like he was going to come back soon after sending all the cooks in.

Xun Zhui wrote: "Last time the Grand Commander of Chu said what was the name of the first posthouse that King Zhao arrived at?"

"Back to Your Majesty, it's Jin'an Post House."

Xun Zhui took a breath, and asked again in disbelief.

"It's Jin'an Post House." Wang Gonggong didn't know why, watching the cake that Xun Zhui had just picked up fell from his hand.

Yan Zhaohe said he was going out, but he didn't say where he was going, and Xun Zhui regretted it, so he should have asked him where he was going!

There are many post houses leading to the capital, and the direction from all over the world determines the location of each post house.

The Jin'an post house is one of the post houses leading to the south, and this post house is not like other post houses.Going out from other posthouses leading to the south, there is still the possibility of changing the route halfway.The Jin'an post house goes all the way to the end, and it is the fastest direct route for businessmen from the south and the north.
