Chapter 105 The culprit(1/2)
Xin Yi took a look at Guangling County Wang Qingjun's face, his face was full of reason, he hummed and smiled, and asked the question very directly.
"What's the benefit of me helping the prince identify spices and medicinal materials?"
Fu Jiuqu glanced at her and said, "The crime of picking up relics is exempted."
Xin Yi grinded his teeth, "Where are Qi Nanxiang and Bai Dutun? How do you say it?"
Fu Jiuqu looked at her lazily and raised the corner of his mouth, "I'll give it to you if I tell you."
Xin Yi thought for a moment and smiled slowly: "A gentleman's words..."
"It's hard to chase a horse." Fu Jiuqu put down the tea cup and glanced at the smile on Xin Yi's face. He seemed to be in a good mood. He took out a brown round tea cake from the wooden box in front of him and looked up at her.
"Can my sister-in-law order tea?"
Burning incense and ordering tea, hanging paintings and arranging flowers, and playing the piano and reciting poems were all regarded as elegant by the Song people. However, the complicated steps of ordering tea made Xinyi feel confused just thinking about it, and they did not know how to do it.
"I can make tea."
Fu Jiuqu raised his head and motioned to her, "Try it."
Xin Yi used a tea mortar to mash some tea cakes, put them into a blue and white tea cup, picked up the teapot directly from the stove, and poured boiling water...
"The tea is brewed. Please use it slowly, Prince."
She said slowly and walked out lamely.
Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were deep, and after a moment, he smiled.
"Sun Huai, this pot of tea is for you."
Sun Huai smiled with a tired face, "Thank you for the reward."
Fu Jiuqu picked up the box of water-soaked Qi Nanxiang, observed it for a moment, then closed it again, "Cheng Cang."
"My subordinate is here." Cheng Cang approached.
Fu Jiuqu half-smiled, "Cut this box of Qinnan incense into two and give one half to Tang Wenshi. Send the other half to He Xu from Yongqiu."
Cheng Cang raised his head and looked at Fu Jiuqu, "Yes."
…
The palace city is deep and even more solitary and cold in winter.
The door of Huining Pavilion was closed tightly, and several palace maids stood there in fear, not daring to show their anger.
Ever since Concubine Zhang developed a carbuncle rash on her face, the maids and chamberlains of Huining Pavilion have had nightmares.
Especially those little pretty little palace maids, every time the official comes to visit, they are not only ordered by Concubine Zhang to hide in the inner room and not come out to see anyone. They also have to bear all her anger until the official leaves.
Sometimes when she got so angry, Concubine Zhang even used her long nails to pinch people...
When she gets extremely angry, she will pinch herself, leaving bruises on her arms and thighs, which is very scary.
In the eyes of the palace people in Huining Pavilion, Concubine Zhang was going crazy. Except when officials came to visit her, she would be a little normal. At other times, she would either shed tears or take people out to vent her anger.
.
The imperial doctors in the palace were replaced one after another, but not only were they ineffective, but they became worse and worse. For this reason, she had all the mirrors in the palace covered.
The palace people couldn't bear her torture, and finally someone who was not afraid of death told Concubine Zhang that there was a young lady named Zhang in Zhangjia Village by the Bian River. She jumped into the river and came back to life. Her medical skills were greatly improved, and she was especially good at beautifying women.
The little lady Zhang originally had acne on her face, but it had faded away in less than a month, and her skin was as white as jade, and she was as smooth as a flower...
It is not clear where this palace man came from to inquire about it. Ever since Concubine Zhang found out about it, she immediately sent someone to find Mrs. Zhang.
But unfortunately, at noon on the day when her people arrived, Miss Zhang left Zhangjia Village, saying she was going to the eldest princess's mansion. Zhang Guifei asked people to inquire, and then she learned that she had been taken away by Fu Jiuqu.
.
She was so angry and anxious that she cried so pitifully in front of Zhao Guan's family.
"I beg the officials to show mercy and rush to Shouzhou to pick up Miss Zhang and treat me."
The New Year is almost here.
There were many banquets in the palace during the New Year, so how would she meet people then? How would she be able to outshine Empress Cao?
If you go out with such a face, won't it make people laugh?
She was extremely anxious, but no matter how much Zhao Zhen loved her, how could he be such an imprudent person?
He just looked at her pity and consoled her: "Chonglou went to Shouzhou for errands, not for fun. How can he be summoned just by calling?"
"Guan family... I don't want to recall the Prince of Guangling County, I just need to recall that little lady Zhang." Concubine Zhang covered her face with a veil, looking pitiful. Seeing Zhao Zhen's thick eyebrows furrowed, she started acting coquettishly again, "Guan family,
My daughters have died one by one, and if their appearance is completely ruined, I will really have nothing left, and I... will only die."
"Nonsense." Zhao Zhen threw off his sleeves and stood up, looking at him sternly, "You are talking nonsense on New Year's Day. I think the imperial concubine is seriously ill. If there is a disease on her face, she should stay in the palace to take care of her."
He walked quickly without even looking back.
Zhang Xueyi looked at him with tears in her eyes, stroking her face with both hands, thinking that after her appearance was gone, Zhao Zhen would pamper other beauties and abandon her. From then on, the Zhang family would no longer have favor.
Suddenly I felt sad and couldn't sit still anymore.
"Yang Huaimin!"
Yang Huaimin was her trusted chamberlain. Hearing this, he came closer and lowered his head and said, "What do you want me to do, madam?"
Zhang Xue also quickly got up from the couch and walked to the desk to write quickly, "Take this letter out of the palace for me and give it to my uncle."
…
Prince Guangling has been staying at Chenliu Posthouse for three days.
He did not go to Shouzhou, nor returned to Beijing, nor did he even interact with the local officials in Chenliu. He stayed in the post house to recuperate all day long, without leaving home. The rumor that "the king of Guangling County was seriously ill" spread somehow.
Got out.
The magistrate of Tang County came to the official position from a poor family and was not very proficient in spices. He received half a piece of nanxiang as a gift from the prince of Guangling County. He treated it like a treasure and wanted to enshrine it on the ancestral tablet.
In order to express his appreciation for the prince, the magistrate of Tang Dynasty came to the post house to pay his respects morning and evening. He sent food, drink and other supplies to the post house. He also found the best doctor in Chenliu to pay homage to the prince.
pulse, but were rejected.
The reason is very simple. The county prince brings his own medical officer, so there is no need to bother the Tang magistrate, nor does he need to come to pay his respects every day. He will leave when the prince recovers.
Tang Zhixian couldn't see anyone from Guangling County Prince, and he didn't know what his condition was. He was restless and worried.
Is this ancestor going to celebrate the New Year in Chenliu?
He is celebrating the New Year here, do they still want to celebrate the New Year?
When news spread that the Prince of Guangling County was seriously ill in Chenliu Post House, it was not just Chenliu County Magistrate who could sit still.
"Prince." In the post house pavilion, Cheng Cang hurriedly pushed the door in and took a look at Guangling Prince who was reading leisurely in front of the window. "He Xu couldn't sit still. He prepared gifts early this morning and took seven or eight people in custody.
I personally came to Chenliu. I just posted a message saying that I wanted to see you."
Fu Jiuqu raised his eyelids, closed the book, and sneered.
"No. If you dare to offend me, I have to give him a try."
Is the Prince of Guangling County someone who can spend money to eliminate disasters?
"Go and ask Cai Qi to ask him. If he can't tell you the reason, I will take him back to Beijing and ask his father-in-law for justice."
He Xu is a good scout, but he is less than twenty-four years old and can take charge of a county magistrate. This is already in the favor of his father-in-law Zhang Yaozhuo. As for what He Xu did in Yongqiu, did Zhang Yaozhuo know about it?
He couldn't control it. No matter what, he would definitely put this shit on Zhang Yaozhuo's head.
Cai Qi was about to fall ill in Chenliu.
There is no such thing as a little wine or a little girl here. When my grandfather was doing it, and under Fu Jiuqu's nose, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous, and his life was very boring.
Therefore, I was very excited when I took this job and was gearing up.
Who would have thought that when He Xu saw him, he would plead guilty without saying a word——
Who did he bring? They were all Yongqiu officials who had connections with the water bandits, from the county magistrate to the bookkeeper to the head catcher, there were many of them, and they were all black.
He Xu was heartbroken and said that he was careless in hiring people, allowing these subordinates to take advantage of the loopholes, collude with bandits, and harm the ships coming and going. That was all. They were so bold as to destroy Prince Guangling's ship...
No, he has brought all the county magistrates here, and whether they want to be killed or beheaded is entirely up to the county king.
He Xu's scream was called an injustice.
Like Tang Wenshi, He Xu blamed Chen Liu for the banditry problem at the junction of Chenliu and Yongqiu, but he himself was so innocent that it seemed as if he could not find anyone else in the world. He burst into tears, lamented the current abuses, and threatened to punish Yongqiu.
Corruption will never be tolerated...
Absolutely amazing!
Cai Qi smiled more and more happily when he saw his deer-headed and rat-like appearance.
"A few days ago in Bianjing, a shipwreck of the Zhenla envoy was discovered. Has Zhizhi County ever heard of it?"
"This..." The Bianjing Di newspaper is sent to Yongqiu every day, and He Xu knows everything about the news in the palace. "Do you know that there is such a thing, but don't know who did it?"
Cai Qi raised his eyebrows and looked at him pointedly, "What do you think?"
He Xu: "I don't know, my subordinate."
To be continued...
