The upright forensic doctor bumped into the drama prince

"My subordinate, Li Tai, has met Mr. Lu."

Li Tai claimed to be a subordinate official, which means that he is a member of the officialdom, and he was actually hunted down. It can be seen that the incidents he was involved must have involved a lot.

Fu Nanling and Ji Linglan looked at each other, and then asked: "Li Tai, where do you work? How high is the official residence?"

"Master Hui, the next official is in the Experience Department under the Liaoyuan Chief Political Department, and the official rank is six."

"Chief Secretary of Liaoyuan?" Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan and said, "If I remember correctly, the people who chased him down claimed to be Li Heng, the procurator of the procuratorate. Do you know this person?"

"Returning to your lord, Li Heng is a close friend of the lower official, if he is not for his cover, the lower official would not be able to escape from birth. If you have to meet your lord, he would probably die at this time." Li Tai His eyes were red with grief.

"Not to mention that Liaoyuan is the nearest province to the capital, even if the position of Qianshi is also a fifth-rank court official, how can you kill him at will? Who is so bold and why?" Fu Nanling frowned. dead tight.

"My lord, all the incidents here are caused by Gao Jin, the governor of Liaoyuan, and his followers embezzling the relief food."

"Oh, where did this start?"

"Five years ago, there was a severe drought in Liaoyuan for two consecutive years, almost without harvest, and millions of people were affected by the disaster. The emperor was kind and cared about the people. He allocated grain money three times, amounting to 500 million shi grains and tens of millions of taels of silver. There are still tens of thousands of people starving to death on the streets, and tens of thousands of people are displaced."

"How could this be? Liaoyuan is so far away from the capital. If such a major event happened, why didn't the capital receive any news?"

Fu Nanling's complexion became extremely ugly. Although this big case happened in his last life, he never knew about it in detail because of his health. He only knew that after this big case, half of the execution ground in Kyoto was stained red with blood one after another. moon.

"My lord, Gao Jin and his henchmen cover the sky with their hands in Liaoyuan, but anyone who opposes him is persecuted by him. Chief Secretary Liu Ji did not die suddenly, but because he was in charge of supervising food and roads. Liu can't bear the people to be persecuted again , secretly recorded the evidence of corruption of Gao Jin and his henchmen over the years, but was unfortunately discovered by Gao Jin. Gao Jin sent people to sneak into Master Liu's house, poisoned him to death, and claimed that Master Liu died of sudden illness."

"How do you know Master Liu was poisoned to death?"

"Master Liu, Mr. Liu has always been in good health. He went to inspect the grain depot with his subordinates the day before. How could he die suddenly overnight?" Li Tai paused, then continued: "After Mr. Liu died, Mrs. Liu saw him The death condition was different, so I asked a doctor to check on Mr. Liu. The doctor said that Mr. Liu's lips were cyanotic, which was probably caused by a heart attack. But Mr. Liu did not have a heart attack, and Mr. Liu had bruises on his hands and wrists, which was obviously the result of a heart attack. After being bound by someone, Mrs. Liu went to report the case and asked her to do an autopsy, and soon the person who brought the sentence to the procuratorate came to her door. The person in charge of the case was Li Heng. Just as Li Heng took Master Liu's body away, Gao Jin Li Heng reported to Mrs. Liu, and Mrs. Liu came to ask for the body, but was rejected. More than ten days later, the body was sent back, already corrupted, and the result was still a heart attack. Mrs. Liu knew Gao Jin The situation is great, she is a woman and has a child to raise, she is powerless to fight against her, and she can't bear Master Liu to be persecuted again, so she arranged a funeral and buried her."

Seeing Li Tai pause, Ji Linglan answered subconsciously: "Cyanosis of the lips is indeed one of the symptoms of a heart attack, so it is impossible to judge whether he is poisoned. There are many toxins that can cause such symptoms in the corpse, such as the puffer fish. poison."

"Puffer fish?" Fu Nanling said thoughtfully, "'Puffer fish come out of rivers and seas. They are very poisonous and can kill people'. Washing should be very clean, cooking should be very cooked, if it is not moderately cured, if it is not cooked, it will be poisonous."

"Master Lu, you mean that there is someone named Gao Jin in Liu's residence who poisoned his food?"

"It's not impossible." Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan who was hesitant to speak, and said, "Ah Lan, do you have a different opinion?"

Ji Linglan originally wanted to say that the poison could be extracted and injected intravenously, but suddenly remembered that this is ancient times, and there were no syringes, so that possibility could only be ruled out.

"Master Li just said that Master Liu has bruises on his wrists. If someone poisoned him in food, he would not have this kind of restraint injury. I am more inclined to say that after someone restrained Master Liu, he was forced to drink the extracted fugu venom. , causing its death, of course, it may also be other poisons."

Ji Linglan expressed her conjecture, turned to look at Li Tai, and asked, "Master Li, when was Master Liu killed, and how long has it been?"

"Master Liu was murdered on the fifth day of May, and it has been more than a month."

Ji Linglan murmured softly, "It's more than a month? Considering the current temperature, the body should be almost rotten. Even if you find it, there are only bones left. I'm afraid it won't be possible to detect whether it has been poisoned."

The most important thing is that in this era, there is no theoretical support of forensic science, and there is no sophisticated instrument for him to use. Even if he can enter the anatomy laboratory and let Tang Tang help him detect it, no one will believe it, and it cannot be used as evidence .

"Alan, Alan..." Ji Linglan's voice was too low for Fu Nanling to hear clearly.

"Ah, oh, I mean, Master Liu's body should have turned into bones by now, and it is impossible to tell whether he has been poisoned." Ji Linglan looked at Li Tai and asked, "Master Li, why are you being hunted down?" ? Did Mr. Liu hand over the evidence of Gao Jin's corruption to you before his death?"

Li Tai's eyes flashed, his brows were subconsciously frowned, and he said, "How did you know?"

After Li Tai finished speaking, he looked at his abdomen, his face changed again and again, he looked at Ji Linglan, and said, "Is the thing in your place?"

"If Mr. Li is asking about what you put in your wound, it is indeed here." Ji Linglan took out a copper key from his sleeve pocket and put it on the table.

Li Tai quickly picked up the key, and after carefully confirming the authenticity, he couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief. Seeing Ji Linglan look over, he said shamelessly: "Young Master Ji, I'm really sorry, this key bears the lives of several adults. If there is a mistake, please forgive me."

"Master Li is serious. You are so disregarding your personal safety for the sake of those people who died in vain. This kind of spirit is admirable. How can Ah Lan be so petty?"

The reason why Li Tai did this should be that he felt that his life was not long, and he wanted to use this method to prevent the key from falling into the hands of those people.

Li Tai sighed, and said: "It's ashamed to say that the lower official never thought of going against Gao Jin. He thought he knew how to be an official, and he was always wise and safe. Who would have thought that Gao Jin would attack Master Liu. Master Liu is right. The lower officials have the kindness to guide and support, and the lower officials have always regarded Mr. Liu as a teacher, if they turn a blind eye to his death, it is ungrateful, and there is no difference between being alive and dead."

Fu Nanling kept his eyes on the key and asked, "How to use this key, and where is the evidence?"

"This key was given by Mr. Liu before his death. He had expected that Gao Jin would attack him, so he built a secret room in the mansion. Only Mr. Liu knew where the secret room was, and the key to open the secret room is this key. , which contains all the evidence of Gao Jin's corruption."

Ji Linglan asked suspiciously: "How did Gao Jin know that the key is in your hands?"

"Gao Jin did everything she could to find the account book from Mrs. Liu, and because of Mrs. Liu's status, it was too inconvenient and too embarrassing, so she was imprisoned in the mansion and not allowed to go out. And I work under Mr. Liu, and I have always been close to Mrs. Liu. Gao Jin Then the suspicion fell on me. I was false, but was betrayed by my own family. Fortunately, I was rescued by Li Heng and escaped from Ningcheng. It’s just that I was a literati, and I was wounded. I finally failed to reach the capital and fell in Yongping Town outside."

"So that's it." Ji Linglan nodded, looked at Fu Nanling, and said: "My lord, this matter is of great importance, lest Gao Jin jump off the wall in a hurry, it is better to return to Beijing quickly, report this matter to the emperor, and then make a decision."

The two known court officials, one of the third rank and the other of the fifth rank, were both persecuted, which is enough to show Gao Jin's great influence and cruelty in Liaoyuan.Li Tai escaped, and with Gao Jin's temperament, he would definitely pursue him and try his best to get rid of this scourge.Coupled with Fu Nanling's special status, their situation is really dangerous.

Fu Nanling said indifferently: "If it's true, I'm afraid we will die on the way back to Beijing."

Ji Linglan frowned, and said, "Your Excellency, you mean that they will set up an ambush on the way back to Beijing?"

"If they let us go back to Beijing, they will die. If they kill us and deal with it a little bit, they can sit back and relax. What do you think, Ah Lan?"

The sneer at the corner of Fu Nanling's mouth made Ji Linglan startled, it seemed that Fu Nanling was not as innocent as he imagined.

"My lord, there are not a few people who come to Beijing every day. As long as we disguise ourselves properly, how can they determine who we are?"

In Ji Linglan's mind, Fu Nanling has such an exquisite human/skin mask, as long as he is not particularly familiar with it, he should not find any flaws.

Fu Nanling naturally understood what Ji Linglan was thinking, and said helplessly: "They are indeed not familiar with us, but Li Tai is not."

"Then let Mr. Li stay in Xiliu Mountain. We will go to Beijing to report the situation to the emperor, and then we will bring all the people to Ningcheng to find the evidence, and then we will bring Mr. Li back to Beijing together."

"I'm worried that they will suspect that Li Tai is hiding in Xiliu Village. With Gao Jin's mentality, even if he can't figure it out for a short time, he will definitely become suspicious after a long time." Fu Nanling paused, and then said: "And Liu If Gao Jin jumps over the wall in a hurry and burns Liu's house, then Lord Liu's family will not be spared either."

The most important thing is that Fu Nanling knows that Gao Jin can be so unscrupulous, and there are people behind him to back him up. Once the court makes a big move, it will definitely startle the snake. At that time, not only will the evidence be lost, but blood will flow like a river, and many innocent people will be implicated. .In the previous life, Fu Lianchao also planned this case for a long time, and only took action after he was [-]% sure.Even so, the thirty-odd members of the Liu family, as well as Li Tai and others, were not spared.But the person hiding behind Gao Jin was still not found out until he succeeded to the throne.

Ji Linglan frowned and asked, "Can your lord tell me why the imperial court tolerated the existence of Xiliuzhai?"

Now that she has participated in it, Ji Linglan simply asked the question in her heart.

Fu Nanling didn't answer Ji Linglan, but instead looked at Li Tai and asked, "Have Gao Jin's party members been involved in the Liaoyuan Prosecution Division and the Supervision Division?"

Li Tai replied: "My lord, although I don't know the specific list, but I can judge based on Master Liu's death that the procurator may have been bribed by Gao Jin. As for the inspector, I don't know. However, Suwen inspector made Mr. Zhang and Gao Jin disagree, and the two rarely interacted with each other."

"Zhang Hanchen..."

Fu Nanling tried hard to recall the memories of his previous life, and vaguely remembered that Zhang Hanchen died of a relapse of his old illness after he ascended the throne.

Ji Linglan couldn't help asking: "Are you familiar with this person?"

Fu Nanling pondered for a while, and replied: "This person is a veteran of the imperial court. He has made great contributions to the imperial court and made great contributions. He should be credible."

Ji Linglan thought for a while, and said: "Since the road back to Beijing is difficult and dangerous, why don't we simply go to Ningcheng, put it to death and survive."

Fu Nanling was startled, then his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ji Linglan with undisguised admiration, and said, "Ah Lan is really smart, I think Gao Jin would never have thought that instead of returning to Beijing, we would instead return to Beijing. Into his lair."

Li Tai frowned, and said, "Is it too risky for my lord to place the bet on Mr. Zhang?"

The people present are all smart people, and they can quickly understand the meaning.

Fu Nanling and Ji Linglan looked at each other, with a smile on the corner of their mouths, and said: "We can make two-handed preparations, go all the way south to Ningcheng, and go all the way north to return to Kyoto. Even if Gao Jin covers the sky with one hand, it is only a long way away. One place, and the road to Beijing is not limited to this one, it just needs to take a little more time."

Ji Linglan stood up and said: "Since that's the case, let's make a decision first. Mr. Li is still seriously injured and needs more rest. We will discuss the detailed plan tomorrow."

Seeing this, Li Tai handed the key to Fu Nanling, saying: "Lord Lu, I will hand over this item to Lord Lu today, and hope that Lord Lu can keep it properly."

Fu Nanling was not pretentious, he put the things under his command, and said: "Master Li, don't worry, no matter how strong Xiami is, they are just shrimps, and they cannot make big waves. It will only be a matter of time before they are dealt with."

"I thank Lord Lu on behalf of the people in Liaoyuan." Li Tai bowed and saluted.

Fu Nanling didn't say much, and left the guest room with Ji Linglan.

When the two returned to the room, Fu Nanling stuck out his tongue and said in a low voice, "Alan, how did you say I behaved just now? Can I fool Li Tai?"

Seeing the appearance of the child Fu Nanling begged for rewards, Ji Linglan was a little dazed, and the suspicion that had arisen in the other party's heart was a little shaken.He smiled and said, "A Ling performed very well. If I didn't know in advance that you are not Lu Jiu, I must have been deceived by you."

"Hey, Father said that you must have a dignified presence in front of people, so that you can reflect the aura of the royal family and prevent those ministers from bullying you, but I always feel so tired." Fu Nanling grabbed Ji Linglan's sleeves, He said with a smile: "It's better to be with Ah Lan, I can be free."

Looking at Fu Nanling's squinted eyes, Ji Linglan shook her head amusedly, and put aside her conjectures just now. This is not a scheming big bad wolf, but an innocent little boy who was pampered in the palm of his hand. white rabbit.

"A Ling, I just asked you a question, can I answer it now?"

"Just now?" Fu Nanling thought for a while, then suddenly said: "Ah Lan, is this Liuzhai's origin?"

Ji Linglan nodded, and said, "That's right, I've always been curious about Lu Jiu's life experience, why did he enter the palace as an imperial guard, and why did the court tolerate such a village near the capital?"

Fu Nanling pulled Ji Linglan to sit down at the table, picked up the teapot on the table, poured Ji Linglan a cup of tea, and said, "Alan, your lips are chapped, drink some water to moisten them."

I didn't realize it just now, but when Fu Nanling said this, Ji Linglan pursed her lips instinctively, and suddenly felt a burst of pain, without looking at him, she knew that it must be cracked.

"Alan, why are you so careless, you are bleeding."

Fu Nanling stretched out his finger to touch it, and the dark red color was stained on the slightly pale fingertips, like a blooming flower.

Ji Linglan was taken aback, she ducked her head back, and said nonchalantly: "The weather has been dry recently, and my body lacks water. Just drink more water."

Fu Nanling regained his senses, pushed the water glass towards Ji Linglan, and said, "Then Ah Lan, drink more water."

Ji Linglan picked up the teacup and drank a couple of sips, then said, "A Ling, tell me about the origin of Xiliu Village."

"Alan should have met the head of Xiliu Village." Fu Nanling also poured himself a cup of tea.

"Yes, I met once on the day I entered the village. It was Lu Jiu's adoptive father. When I first saw him, I thought he was a gentleman from some family. He was gentle and elegant, with an extraordinary temperament. The bandit leader, he doesn't look like that at all."

Fu Nanling smiled, and said: "He really doesn't look like him. This willow village was built 30 years ago, and the first owner of the village was Cai Yongyan. He is the only prince with a different surname since the emperor's grandfather reigned. Grandpa was named the King of Kangling. He was brave and good at fighting, and he opened up the territory for Grandpa Huang, and he used to be unparalleled in the limelight."

When Ji Linglan heard this, she became more and more curious, and asked, "Then why did you leave the prince alone and come to Liushan to be the village owner? What happened?"

"I heard from my father that when King Kangling was stationed at the border, his concubine Li did not accompany him. She stayed in the capital to take care of her youngest son, who is now the head of Xiliuzhai Cai Zixin. King Kangling has been loyal and dedicated to the country all his life. Knowing that he was defeated, he was defeated by his concubine Li."

Fu Nanling took a sip of tea, and then said: "Father thought that the king of Kangling was in Sheji, and he was an orphan without father and mother, so he made an exception and promoted his wife and younger brother Li Sheng to be the captain of the personal guard army Zhongxian." One position, the sixth grade, although the rank is not high, it is a good job. Who knows that Li Sheng is a restless person, relying on the power of King Kangling, to run amok in the capital, and even cause death. The deceased is not The daughter of an ordinary family is the niece of Jiang Qing, the servant of the Criminal Ministry. Jiang Qing filed a lawsuit in front of the emperor's grandfather. The emperor was furious and handed over the matter to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for investigation. Finally, the truth was found out. It was Li Sheng Seeing the lust, he forcibly kidnapped Jiang Linger who was going to the temple to offer incense, and when he wanted to commit violence, he strangled Jiang Linger who was struggling to resist."

Seeing Fu Nanling paused, Ji Linglan asked aloud: "Then what happened later, did Li Sheng plead guilty?"

Fu Nanling let out a chuckle, and said: "Of course he didn't plead guilty, thinking that King Kangling could save his life. But the evidence is solid, even if he didn't plead guilty, it's useless, the emperor's grandfather approved the punishment of beheading Qiu Houwen .”

Ji Linglan guessed: "King Kangling is dissatisfied with the late emperor because of this?"

Fu Nanling shook his head, and said: "No, King Kangling didn't think there was anything wrong with what Grandpa Huang did, and even wrote an apology."

"So this case made waves later?"

"Yes, this case was originally a certainty. If it were to be settled like this, Li Sheng would be dead at most. But Princess Kang Ling didn't think so, she cried and clamored to rescue Li Sheng. King Kang Ling disagreed, She conveniently used money to clear the relationship, and even found someone to slander Jiang Linger's innocence, and let people spread rumors that Jiang Linger was a prodigal/slutty/woman who had had an affair with a foreigner a long time ago, etc., so that Jiang Linger would also die. Can't live in peace."

"This Concubine Kangling has done too much. Not only did she kill the girl, but she also slandered her reputation. It is really deceiving. How did this King Yingwu I marry such a concubine?" Ji Linglan frowned. Wrinkled, very disgusted by Princess Kangling's practice of harming others and not benefiting oneself.

Fu Nanling couldn't help sighing: "Yes, King Kangling's life's prestige was all ruined by this princess. But it's not without reason that Princess Kangling acted like this. In fact, Princess Kangling is not a lady from a family, but a woman from the frontier. The daughter of a peasant family. Back then, King Kangling was seriously injured in a war and was rescued by the Li family. King Kangling was grateful for his kindness, rejected the marriage proposal given to him by his grandfather, and married a girl from the Li family. He is selfish and dull, and has failed King Kangling's good intentions."

"Later, the Jiang family shouldn't allow others to slander their family's reputation, right?"

"This is natural. According to my father, Jiang Qing is a well-known old and sour Confucian. The most important thing is family tradition and reputation. This move by Princess Kangling really poked a hornet's nest. Jiang Qing burst into tears in the hall , even at the expense of death to show his ambition, if the imperial doctor hadn't saved him in time, I'm afraid he would have lost his life. The father had no choice but to take care of the Jiang family and not hurt his relationship with King Kangling, so he let the queen down Yizhi said that the daughter of the Jiang family, Jiang Linger, has both ability and integrity, and is a model of women in the Fu country. She is specially named the princess of Linghua. This kind of reward can be regarded as blocking the rumors circulating in private. At the same time, Grandpa Huang also issued an imperial decree to execute Li Sheng immediately, as a warning to everyone else, but no punishment was given to Concubine Kangling."

"After this incident, Princess Kangling hasn't had a long memory yet, so what's wrong with her?"

If Princess Kangling gave up on this, then King Kangling would still be a high prince, and there would be no current Xiliu Village.

Fu Nanling was not at all surprised by Ji Linglan's sensitivity, and said with a smile: "This Li Sheng's head was beheaded, Princess Kangling seemed to be crazy, and she actually asked someone to assassinate Jiang Qing, but fortunately, King Kangling was prepared , stopped the assassin in time, and saved Jiang Qing's life. However, this incident completely angered the emperor's grandfather, and he issued a secret decree to King Kangling, asking him to kill Princess Kangling by himself. King Kangling knew that the princess had Wrong, I didn’t intercede for her, and asked my confidant to give the princess a glass of poisoned wine. After the death of Princess Kangling, the king of Kangling handed over the letter of resignation. The emperor’s grandfather refused to let her go at first, but the king of Kangling was determined to resign Officer, this delay lasted for three years, and King Kangling was seriously injured in the subsequent battle with Lan Kingdom. At that time, he brought up the old story again, and the emperor had no choice but to agree."

"So after King Kangling resigned from office, he retired to Xiliu Mountain and built this Xiliu Village, and the head of Cai is the son of King Kangling and his concubine."

Fu Nanling smiled and praised: "Alan is smart!"

Ji Linglan's face became hot from the praise, and she said helplessly: "You have said this to this extent, if I still can't guess, then I am a fool. As for Lu Jiu, he grew up with Master Cai Is it?"

"King Kangling built a few wooden houses on the top of this mountain, and lived in seclusion here with Cai Dadang. Although King Kangling is no longer an official, Grandpa always remembers him. Every New Year and festival, there will be rewards sent to the mountain, so Even if King Kangling didn’t do anything, he could live comfortably. It’s just that King Kangling was seriously injured and died of illness within a few years, leaving Cai Da alone to live on the mountain. The emperor’s grandfather pity him and let people This stockade was built here, and the villagers who voluntarily moved up from the mountain took root here. Lu Jiu was one of those villagers. His parents died of illness one after another, and Cai Da took him in as his adoptive son. Cultivated him , raised him until he had achieved success in his studies and entered the palace as a royal guard."

"So this cottage was actually built by the late emperor. How many people know about it?"

Fu Nanling understood Ji Linglan's worries, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, Ah Lan, the fact that King Kangling lives in seclusion here is a secret. If it wasn't for a coincidence, I wouldn't even know about it, let alone decades have passed. Except for a few people, no one knows about it."

"That's good, at least it won't cause trouble for the people here." Ji Linglan looked at the sky, and said: "A Ling, since we have made a plan, we will divide into two groups, tomorrow Get up early in the morning and return to Beijing, as for the matter of going to Ningcheng, leave it to me and Mr. Lu."

"Alan, why do you always talk about Lu Jiu? Is he better than me?"

Seeing the grievance in Fu Nanling's eyes, Ji Linglan tried her best to hypnotize herself, and now the one with Lu Jiu's handsome face in front of him was the little white rabbit Fu Nanling.

Ji Linglan said a little dumbfounded: "A Ling, you seem to have missed the point, let's get down to business."

"What I'm talking about is also serious." Fu Nanling asked stubbornly, "Alan, do you like Lu Jiu more?"

"Don't make trouble, Ah Ling, we're talking about life-threatening matters..."

Fu Nanling interrupted him, saying: "Alan, to me, whether you like me or not is equally important!"

Looking at the seriousness and persistence in Fu Nanling's eyes, Ji Linglan was a little dazed, and it took a long time to come back to her senses, she looked away in embarrassment, and said: "A Ling, you and Lu Jiu are people I trust, no There is a question of who has more and who has less."

Disappointment flashed across Fu Nanling's eyes, but he raised the corners of his mouth and said with a smile: "Alan, I will be your favorite one!"

I will make you fall in love with me as much as I love you and no one can get in the way!

Looking at the disappointment in Fu Nanling's eyes and listening to what he said, Ji Linglan always felt that she had said something wrong and hurt the fragile heart of the little white rabbit.

Ji Linglan changed the subject and said: "A Ling, let's discuss the next deployment, so as not to have long nights and dreams."

Fu Nanling didn't bother anymore, and responded meekly: "Okay. A Lan, it's inconvenient for you to participate in this matter, so you can live here with peace of mind. I will let someone protect your safety."

Ji Linglan opened her mouth, but did not refute, and said, "Then when will you return to Beijing?"

"I'm going to Ningcheng, and the Inspectorate of Liaoyuan still needs me to go there. Lu Jiu's weight is not enough to make Zhang Hanchen have no worries."

"No, your identity is sensitive, and Zhang Hanchen's position is unclear. I can't let you take risks. After all, Lu Jiu is the commander of the imperial guards and a person close to the emperor. If his weight is not enough, there must be something wrong with Zhang Hanchen." Ji Linglan Resolutely deny Fu Nanling's plan.

Seeing this, Fu Nanling couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth, and said: "Alan, every time I hear that you care about me, I feel very happy in my heart, hehe."

"A Ling, you are not in good health and can't stand the trouble. Tomorrow you will bring someone back to Beijing. As for the matter of Ningcheng, I will leave it to Mr. Lu. He is strong in martial arts, witty and decisive, so he is the best candidate."

"Ningcheng is a dragon's lake and a tiger's den. Zhang Hanchen has been able to stand in Ningcheng for many years. Even if he has never been in the same rank as Gao Jin, he must be well versed in the way to protect himself. If he does not have enough weight, he will not make a move, so I must do it. go."

Although Ji Linglan didn't know much about politics, he understood what Fu Nanling meant, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Then I'll go with you."

If Fu Nanling gets sick at that time, having him by his side will be equivalent to saving one more life.

"Alan..." Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan, his eyes were full of emotion, and said: "Alan, you have no kung fu, and you have shown your face in front of them, it is inconvenient to go, you should stay in Xiliu Village. Don't worry, I will come back safe and sound."

"You are so naive, who can you hold down? Even if you put on wolf skin, you are still a rabbit in your core, and sooner or later you will be exposed and eaten." Ji Linglan said helplessly: " Rather than worrying about you here, it is better to follow along, at least it can help you see if the other party is a human or a ghost."

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan with joy in his heart, but he was also worried about the exposure of his temperament in the future, fearing that Ji Linglan would leave him after knowing the truth.Thinking of this, he began to worry about gains and losses again.

"Alan, if one day..."

Seeing Fu Nanling paused, Ji Linglan asked strangely: "What?"

"It's okay. Then it's settled like this. I'll give orders and let Lu Jiu make a detour and rush back to the capital to report."

"Lu Jiu?" Ji Linglan suddenly came back to her senses, and said, "Lu Jiu also showed his face in front of those people, Ah Ling, you can't bear this face anymore."

"It's still Ah Lan's thoughtfulness, I'll have someone take off the human/skin mask on my face."

Fu Nanling opened the window, looked out of the window, and then two figures jumped into the room.

Ji Linglan took a look, recognized Lu Jiu, and saluted, "I've met Mr. Lu."

With a flash of Lu Jiu's figure, he dodged Ji Linglan's salute, knelt down on the ground with another person, and said, "Zero Jiu and Zero Seven have seen the master."

Ji Linglan was startled, then smiled wryly in her heart.

Fu Nanling looked at Lu Jiu with satisfaction, and said, "Help me take off the disguise on my face."

"Yes, master." Lu Jiu didn't say much, and stood up to help Fu Nanling remove his disguise, revealing his true colors.

Fu Nanling handed him the human/skin mask in his hand, and said, "Lu Jiu, you take a detour to the north and return to Beijing to tell Father about this matter, do you understand?"

Lu Jiu took the mask, bowed and said, "This subordinate understands, and I will definitely live up to my master's expectations!"

"Okay, let's go now."

"Yes, master." Lu Jiu walked to the window, jumped and disappeared.

Fu Nanling looked at Ji Linglan and said with a smile: "Alan, he is Ling Qi, whose real name is Liu Xi, and is the shadow guard given to me by my father. He will protect us on the surface."

Ji Linglan cupped her hands and said hello, "Master Liu."

Liu Xi hurriedly returned the gift and said, "Young Master Ji, don't be polite."

Ji Linglan smiled, and said: "Master Liu, if you are away from home, you should call me Alan, and I will call you Brother Liu."

Liu Xi glanced at Fu Nanling, seeing that he had no objection, he responded, "Okay, Ah Lan."

Fu Nanling said lightly: "Okay, let's go down and tell the kitchen to prepare some food."

"Yes, master." Liu Xi bowed and exited the room.

"Alan, I'm so tired carrying it. It's better to be alone with you so that I can be more comfortable." Fu Nanling's long and narrow Danfeng eyes narrowed aggrievedly, and his slightly pale lips were slightly pouting, just like a coquettish Xiaobai rabbit.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan found it both funny and heartbroken, and said comfortingly: "Everyone is born with their own suffering. A Ling was born in the royal family. Although there are more rules and regulations, at least you have no worries about food and clothing. Compared with Those who work hard for a bite to eat, you will be much happier."

"But I would rather have a healthy body, even if I live a hard life of poverty, at least I can stay with the person I like forever." Fu Nanling lowered his eyes, and his eyes flashed with sadness.

Ji Linglan looked at Fu Nanling sympathetically. In such a medically underdeveloped world, he was destined to not live long after suffering from such a disease.

"A Ling, don't be sad, take good care of your body, and there may be a chance of healing."

"Alan, you don't need to comfort me. There are so many imperial doctors in the palace who are helpless, and my father has been visiting famous doctors for me all these years. So far, no one has been able to cure my illness. I can live until today because I was born in the royal family. , grew up soaked in medicinal soup." Fu Nanling held Ji Linglan's hand and said, "Alan, can you stay with me until I die?"

"A Ling, you are the prince and live in the palace. How can I accompany you? Is it possible to enter the palace as a eunuch? I can't, I am the only one left in the Ji family, and I have to take on the important task of inheriting the family." Nanling has a good impression of him, but he will never eunuch himself for him.

"No, I'm already in the weak year, and the royal father has built a mansion for me. It's just that my health is not good, and the royal father takes pity on me, so he allows me to stay in the palace. When this matter is over, I will ask the royal father to let me Go back home, so that Ah Lan can stay by my side."

Alan, your important task of carrying on the family line is doomed to fail.

"A Ling, I still want to find a quiet place to live, and I don't want to go back to the capital." Ji Linglan wanted to find a small town, buy a small courtyard, and find a job as a servant in the yamen, so she didn't lose what she had learned.

"That's it." A look of disappointment appeared in Fu Nanling's eyes, and then he smiled and said, "It's okay, as long as Ah Lan likes it, even if we can't meet each other often, we can still exchange letters. It's just... I'm afraid that before I die, I can't see Ah Lan for the last time..."

Seeing that Fu Nanling's eyes were red, Ji Linglan felt uncomfortable, and said: "A Ling, don't talk nonsense, I... Oh, forget it, at worst, I will choose a place near the capital to stay. If you miss me, come here Find me, that's all right."

"Really?" There were tears in the corners of Fu Nanling's eyes, but the corners of his mouth raised unconsciously.

Ji Linglan took out a handkerchief from her sleeve pocket, handed it to Fu Nanling, and said helplessly, "Really. I've never seen such a crying boy. Wipe it off."

Fu Nanling took the handkerchief and wiped the corners of his eyes, and asked cautiously: "If Ah Lan doesn't like it, then I...I promise I won't cry in the future."

"We are friends. In front of me, you can cry if you want, laugh if you want, don't hold back."

"Okay, Ah Lan treats me the best."

Fu Nanling narrowed his eyes with a smile: he is one step closer to living under the same roof.

Ji Linglan also raised the corners of her mouth, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: This is what a child should look like.

After dinner, the two went back to their rooms.Ji Linglan locked the door and the window, and then entered the dissecting room with peace of mind.Unfortunately, Zhang Bin was doing an autopsy in the dissecting room, and Tang Tang was doing his hands next to him.

Ji Linglan looked at the corpse on the dissection table, came to Tang Tang's side, and said, "Tang Tang, don't leave after get off work, wait for me for a while."

Tang Tang paused when he heard the movements in his hands, and nodded unobtrusively.

Seeing this, Ji Linglan left the dissecting room. If he was there, the monitoring there would be in a state of failure, without video data to support it. Even if clues were found from the corpse, it would be easy to be criticized as evidence.

Ji Linglan went to the kitchen to boil water. Because it was on the mountain, it was not very convenient to get water. He hadn't showered since he went up the mountain. He thought he would leave tomorrow, and planned to take a good bath and clean himself up.

Ji Linglan struggled to pick up the bucket, and just as she was about to go out, she bumped into Liu Xi.He smiled and asked, "Brother Liu, why haven't you rested yet?"

"I'll boil medicine for the master." Liu Xi naturally took the bucket over and said, "Alan, let me help you."

"No, you are busy with your work, don't delay...Master, drink the medicine."

Liu Xi smiled and said, "Alan, you're welcome.
