[Qing Dynasty] "Gege" is polite
Chapter 90
During the days when Concubine De fell ill, Wen Liang was always in charge of other things. Although he knew that Yinzhen was often running back and forth between the palace and the palace, it was just that this matter had nothing to do with him, and it was impossible for Wen Liang to visit Concubine De in the palace. Did not pay special attention to this matter.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are just the most common things, and it seems a pity at best.
Two days ago, Wen Liang received news from the sticky pole. Since Yinzhen took Wen Liang to the sticky pole, and when Yinzhen was away, the news was sent directly to Wen Liang.
It was delivered by Zhang Qilin himself.
There are not many things worthy of attention these days, and Yinzhen has placed people around several brothers, in case something happens that cannot be known in time.This kind of method, whether it is for oneself or others, has some calculations in the bottom of my heart.
Wen Liang put the sorted news aside, rubbed his brows and leaned on the back of the chair, faintly feeling that something was wrong there.
Wen Liang pondered for a long while, took out all the news about Yinxuan and Yinhu to look at it again, and after comparing it, it was a bit inappropriate.There are several highly valued staff around Yinhu, Zuoqiu Yankuan and others are just one of them.
And this Zuoqiu had appeared in Yinyi's mansion half a month ago.
He glanced at those few lines again. Ever since Yinzhen failed in the election of the crown prince, the relationship between Yinzhen and Yinhu has become like fire and water. Yinzhen can't rub the sand in his eyes. Then the relationship with Yinhu is good.Under such circumstances, how could it be possible for Yinhu's staff to appear in Yinyi's mansion.
There must be something strange in this!
Wenliang sent people to dig out Zuoqiu's whereabouts during that time, and after sorting them into categories, they found that the place where Zuoqiu appeared most often was an ordinary medicine shop, even in the recent period of time, it was here. Once every three days, has never been cut off.
This may be something worthy of study, Wen Liang made a quick decision to have all the prescriptions in the pharmacy stolen.
There are not many people who frequent the pharmacy, but everyone who frequents needs to keep prescriptions for the pharmacy to fill. Wen Liang picked out the prescriptions that were obviously written recently and read them one by one, and finally settled on one of them. Zhang Shang.
"Chills, fever, sweating, periodicity..." Wen Liang looked at the symptom description above, looked at the prescriptions below several times, and sent someone to invite Dr. Li.
Dr. Li is Yinzhen's usual doctor, and he and Wen Liang are old acquaintances, after being invited by Wen Liang, he took a closer look at the prescription Wen Liang gave him, and shook his head seriously, "This is not malaria. "
Wen Liang said calmly, "However, the above description is very similar to malaria."
Doctor Li said with a chuckle, "That's true, but the symptoms are just a few, and the old man can see it from the prescription below. The prescription looks ordinary, but it's not a diagnosis of malaria, it's more like fighting poison with poison. Not ordinary malaria."
Wen Liang frowned, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, "If Dr. Li came to check the pulse and looked at the condition above, do you think it was malaria or poisoning?"
"This..." Dr. Li pondered. Different pathogens may have the same symptoms, which is indeed difficult to judge. "I don't know, I have to investigate it myself to find out."
Wen Liang said again, "What if you study this way?"
"Everything is inseparable from it. Unless someone deliberately induces it, it is impossible to make mistakes." Dr. Li said firmly.
If you really specialize in this way, it is impossible to make a mistake in judgment.
After combining these brief messages, Wen Liang pieced together a possible explanation, which may explain why Jin Ji Na Shuang could not heal De Fei.
However, why Zuoqiu appeared in Yinyi's mansion is still something Wen Liang can't figure out for the time being.
After hearing Wen Liang's words, Yinzhen's brows were full of evil spirits, and he stood in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back, his whole body was cold.
Seeing the fury flashing in his eyes, Wen Liang knew that Yinzhen had become really angry, and said calmly, "Master, there is no evidence here, whether it is from the emperor or Zuoqiu, it was only found by accident." , and there is no definite evidence to prove it, so don’t be impulsive.”
Yinzhen took a deep breath and said softly, "I know."
He stared fixedly at Wen Liang, stretched out his hand to brush his ears, "Thank you so much, sir." Now that he enters the palace and changes the imperial doctor, maybe he can still be saved.
Wen Liang watched Yinzhen pass by, and his cold voice slid through the air, "It's just for the Lord." As for Concubine De, Wen Liang didn't have any good feelings for her.
Xu Shi herself had experienced that kind of childhood before, Wen Liang didn't think that Concubine De was so pitiful, she walked her own way, and she couldn't blame anyone.
From the beginning of her ascension to the throne by virtue of Yinzhen, there was no room for comment.
Yinzhen laughed lightly, although the laughter was mixed with unconcealable heaviness, he finally laughed out loud, "Yes, sir treat me well."
On April 50, the 29th year of Kangxi, Yinzhen entered the palace overnight and begged Emperor Kangxi to change the imperial doctor again. Although there were some contradictions, Emperor Kangxi finally changed the imperial doctor and got the opposite pulse case, which made Emperor Kangxi furious. angry.
After re-examination, the doctor Zhang Yu who was in charge of pulse diagnosis had hanged himself in the house, and the other imperial doctors begged for mercy, saying that the pulse was determined by Zhang Yuyi alone, and they had no room for disputes.
Emperor Kangxi looked at those imperial physicians as if he was looking at a dead person. After beckoning to the guards to suppress them all, he suppressed his anger and waited for Doctor Chen's pulse diagnosis. This doctor Chen was always in charge of Emperor Kangxi's pulse case. If Yinzhen hadn't used his title as a guarantee this time, Emperor Kangxi would not have agreed to Yinzhen's request for no reason.
The fourth child acted in a safe manner, this almost reckless way was not his habit.
Emperor Kangxi stood outside with his hands behind his back, smelling the smell of medicine gradually seeping into the hall, he felt heavy in his heart.
"Your Majesty—" Doctor Chen came out carrying the medicine box, his expression was as usual, but his forehead was covered with sweat, obviously he had exhausted his mind just now.
He just helped Concubine De to perform acupuncture, and those places that are convenient are for him to come in person, and those places that are not suitable are for the doctor to give the acupuncture according to his command. In order for the doctor to grasp it properly, Doctor Chen compared himself It's hard to come in person.
"How is Concubine De's condition?"
Doctor Chen handed the box in his hand to the medicine boy behind him, and said in a hoarse voice, "The toxin on the body of the Concubine De, the old minister just injected some of the toxin, and with the help of heavy medicine, there may still be a fifth chance."
Since Chen Yuyi was under Emperor Kangxi, what he said was naturally true, and he did not hide anything.Emperor Kangxi frowned, "If that's the case, go and prescribe the medicine." He waved and took Doctor Chen down to prescribe the medicine, then looked back at Yinzhen who was standing silently in the room, "Fourth."
Yinzhen moved slightly when he heard the words, and moved his position, "Huang Ama?"
Emperor Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen who was still guarding the bed, with a tired expression on his face, "What happened?"
Yinzhen obviously heard what Chen Yuyi said just now, and his expression was not much relaxed, and said, "When I returned to the mansion, the master reminded my son that maybe something is wrong with his condition."
Emperor Kangxi also knew Wen Liang's sensitivity, and said after hearing this, "Why is Wen Liang suspicious?"
"Cinchona cream."
Cinchona cream was originally imported from the West. Although it saved the life of Emperor Kangxi, it also became the standing medicine of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Palace. However, no one close to him got sick in the future. Although it was useless this time, the imperial doctor said convincingly, Coupled with mistrust of the West, no one doubts this.
Last time Emperor Kangxi was useful but it was God's gift to the emperor, this time it was useless to Concubine De, although it is a pity, it is not unacceptable.
After experiencing this incident, Yinzhen deeply realized that no matter what his attitude towards the West is in his daily life, his deep-rooted thoughts still remain unchanged.
Although Wen Liang's suspicion started from Zuoqiu, he also explained the problem of Cinchona Cream in detail. If there is really no problem with the condition, at least it can relieve some pain. However, this medicine is completely useless, in Wen Liang's opinion. Almost impossible.
Yinzhen did not mention his doubts about Yinhu and Yinxuan. Emperor Kangxi was also wary of Yinzhen. Without evidence, it was impossible to bring the two of them along. That would only make Emperor Kangxi think that Yinzhen was borrowing Machine trouble.
Emperor Kangxi reached out and patted Yinzhen's shoulder, "I will give you an explanation for Concubine De."
Even if Yinzhen didn't say anything, the doctor Zhang who hanged himself was not a hurdle that could be easily passed. If there was really nothing wrong, why did he commit suicide? How did poisoning and malaria get involved!
Emperor Kangxi's eyes were cold, and his thoughts were deeper and farther. Even the Taiyuan Hospital could be easily controlled by others, so wouldn't he, the emperor, be under the control of others all the time? !
After changing the imperial doctor, De Fei's condition tended to be stable. Although she never came to her senses, under the skillful hands of the imperial doctor Chen, she began to gradually recover.
Yinzhen coaxed Yinzhen back to rest. He spent too much time on the road with his horse and men, and after a few days of guarding Concubine De, he looked haggard. He didn't know who was the patient.After Yinzhen reluctantly went back to Elder Brother's place to wash up, he forced himself to sleep for twelve hours, which finally scared Wanyan terribly.
After Wen Liang received the news from the palace, he knew that his guess was right.
Zuoqiu is indeed related to this matter, and Yinhu is naturally the mastermind behind it, but what is going on with Yinzhen...Wen Liang is silent, is the malice towards Yinzhen enough to make the two of them join forces?
From Dr. Li's words, Wen Liang deduced that there might be something wrong with the imperial doctor in the palace who was in charge of diagnosing Concubine De.Dr. Li said that different illnesses may have similar manifestations. What if Defei's fever, sweating and chills are not due to malaria, but other real causes?
Among them, the only one who can judge this matter is the imperial doctor who is in charge of Concubine De's condition this time!
Zhang Yuyi committed suicide when he heard the news. Wen Liang started from his identity and traced the past events, but did not find out his relationship with the two elder brothers.Imperial doctor Zhang studied at a young age, later studied pharmacology, and after passing the selection examination, he was admitted to the Imperial Hospital. After decades of time, he was mixed into the position of imperial physician.
There must be something missing.
Wen Liang tapped on the table, looked at his situation several times, glanced at his youthful experience, and finally realized it.
Starting from here, the person who recommended him should be Nalan Pearl, which can be regarded as his kindness.This imperial doctor belongs to Yinyi!
However, this can't get rid of Wen Liang's doubts about Yinhu in the slightest. From his point of view, Zuoqiu went to Yinhu's mansion just to make a fool of himself and to cause trouble.
If it was really Yinxi who did it, it would be too obvious to use Doctor Zhang to hand them the evidence in front of them.
But Wen Liang also knew that it was because of Yinzhen's sticky stick, otherwise this dusty past would have been difficult to dig out.
Yinhu had long expected that someone would squat to check, so he specially asked Zuoqiu to misfortune him. Even if he noticed the situation of Yinxuan and Yinhu, he would bring Yinzhen into the circle and start to become suspicious.Let's get rid of the imperial doctor's question first, which can indeed explain most of the situation.
There's just something wrong with it.
Wen Liang clicked on the prescription that he put on the left. If it didn't exist, Wen Liang wouldn't have doubted it so quickly.
Who put this prescription in the pharmacy?
If this matter is really a situation that Yinhu set up by Zuoqiu, this prescription is undoubtedly a failure in it, directly exposing the most important point of the whole strategy, otherwise Wen Liang may not be able to think of opening the coffin until after the death of Concubine De Post-mortem this way.
Wen Liang circled the two words Zuoqiu and Yaofang with cinnabar, then squinted his eyes and began to recall what Yinzhen had said.He always felt as if something had been overlooked, it was something Yin Zhen had mentioned, but it had been a long time.
"Meow-"
Wen Liang lightly jumped on the ground, stepped on Wen Liang's knees with four small paws, then raised his two front paws against Wen Liang's chest, rubbed the fluffy cat's head close to his face, and then Meow meow meow.
Wen Liang squeezed the back of her neck smoothly, and the warm and soft touch was very comfortable.He was distracted thinking, is it because of this that Yinzhen likes to touch the back of his neck, because it is very comfortable to touch?
and many more!
Wen Liang suddenly remembered that Yinzhen once mentioned that he had placed an internal agent in Yinhu's mansion.Wen Liang knew about this at the beginning because Yinzhen told him after his carriage had an accident after leaving the palace.
Yinzhen thought that there was something wrong with the plan, and it was because the system was involved in it. If the system did not appear, Yinzhen would have known all the situation in advance, and had secretly reminded Wenliang about it.
To be able to know about this strategy, one must be someone close to Yinhu.
Wen Liang's eyes fell on another person who was juxtaposed with Zuoqiu, could it be him?
The next day, Yinzhen was driven back to rest by the sober Yinzhen. Before going back to the study outside, Yinzhen went to the small courtyard of Wenliang. If it wasn't for Wenliang's sensitivity and prudence, such a turnaround might not have happened.
When Yinzhen saw Wen Liang, he was resting with his eyes closed under a small blanket in the courtyard. Wen Liang was lying on his knees, his little head protruding from the edge of the blanket, with the warm body temperature of a big cat. Not much difference either.
When Wen Liang opened his eyes listening to the sound of footsteps, Yin Zhen had already walked to his side, stretched out his hand and stroked the big cat's chin, causing Wen Liang to purr in satisfaction.
"My lord should take a good rest." The dark circles under Yinzhen's eyelids were very obvious, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't rested.This is not much different from the one who guarded Emperor Kangxi in Qianqing Palace.
Yinzhen sat down on the stone bench next to Wen Liang, "I came back to rest, and I will enter the palace tomorrow." With Yinzhen watching in the palace, he was indeed relieved.
"Master, is Yan Kuan your man in the eighth master's mansion?" Wen Liang said bluntly.
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, not surprised, "Mister guessed it?"
"If that's the case, I really have to reward him well." Wen Liang pursed his lips, and handed the prescription to Yinzhen, "He should have put it in the pharmacy."
Zuoqiu was so valued by Yinhu, even if he really went to see a doctor, it would be impossible to put such a prescription in the pharmacy, unless Zuoqiu was the one who leaked the secret.However, after careful identification, Wen Liang still thought that Zuo Qiu was not this person.
If it was really Zuoqiu, Yinzhen had to know about it.Concubine De is in critical condition, and Yinzhen's pain is not fake.
Yinzhen took the prescription from Wen Liang and looked at it carefully, "If it's him, this time is really lucky." He looked at Wen Liang and said, "It is indeed Yan Kuan."
Yan Kuan was Yinhu's person from the very beginning, and the reason why he defected to Yinzhen in the future had something to do with Yinrong.
The woman Yan Kuan loved all his life was a spy under Yinreng's command. Yan Kuan came to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River because of this. Yinzhen helped Yan Kuan rescue the spy, and then the two got married, and it was Yinzhen who wiped away all traces .
But later, Yan Kuan became Yinhu's subordinate by mistake, which can be regarded as fate.
Yan Kuan is a gloomy and cunning person, he thrives under Yinhu's hands, but the favor he owes to Yinzhen is true, before Yinzhen knew about it, he would occasionally leak secrets to Yinzhen, such a traitor The Lord's work is also done in a real way.
"Speaking of which, when I rescued that man back then, I met Mr. at almost the same time." Yinzhen sighed, he only learned of Yan Kuan's identity later on, after all, Yinzhen's power was not that great at that time Da Da, the identity of the casually rescued person was not investigated carefully, and the subsequent communication is another matter.
Wen Liang said, "Second Elder Brother didn't suspect this?" Calculated by that time, it was already many years ago, and the relationship between Yinzhen and the prince should be fair at that time.
Yinzhen said, "There is no doubt that a few abandoned spies died on the road." There was indeed an investigation afterwards, but since Yan Kuan was able to chase the capital from the south of the Yangtze River, he did lay the groundwork when he did it, so that Yinzhen rescued him. When I was a human, I didn't suspect anything at first.
"Since it's Yan Kuan, if the matter about Doctor Zhang is exposed, the Eighth Master will definitely suspect that there are spies in the mansion." Wen Liang said firmly, Yinhu must be furious if a plan that seemed to have no trace was leaked like this.
Yinzhen evoked a cold smile, and said in a low voice, "Of course we can't make him feel better." Introducing Yinzhen back to Beijing, plus the three-year filial piety period for his mother's death, Yinhu really has a good plan!
On the eighth master's house.
Zuoqiu was sweating profusely. He leaned against the head of the bed and frowned uncomfortably. He was not feeling well these days. After seeing the doctor for more than half a month, he didn't see much improvement.Fortunately, in the past two days, I have gradually recovered, and I have some strength.
There was a light knock on the door, Zuoqiu raised his voice, "Brother Yan?"
Yan Kuan pushed the door open and saw Zuo Qiu's appearance at a glance, "Your body hasn't recovered yet?"
Zuoqiu shrugged helplessly, "I've recovered a little in the past two days, but luckily I'm a little lighter."
Yan Kuan nodded, sat down on the chair beside Zuoqiu, and said indifferently, "Make your own plans."
Zuoqiu's heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately thought of what he had done before.He calmed down, the matter was very careful, even Yan Kuan didn't know about it, so there should be nothing wrong.Coupled with the fact that he heard the news about Concubine De in a daze two days ago, this matter should be done.
Yan Kuan poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Just now in the study, Ba Ye was so angry that he smashed the cup."
Zuoqiu froze for a moment, then heard Yan Kuan's gloomy voice, "Your name has been mentioned many times."
Zuoqiu fell into deep thought, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he thought about the previous situation many times, no matter how he calculated it, there was no big problem, what went wrong!
When Zuoqiu suddenly came back to his senses, Yan Kuan had already left.In his heart, he was grateful to Yan Kuan who came to inform him in advance, and calculated what might happen in his heart, lest he would not even have time to react when the master came to question him.
Yan Kuan and Zuoqiu are both Yinhu's valued staff, and they both have their own small courtyards in the front yard. When Zuoqiu was meditating, Yan Kuan's figure had already appeared in his own small courtyard.
"You're back."
A gentle woman came out of it with lotus steps, with a soft face and an indescribable elegance all over her body.Yan Kuan supported her to walk inside, "You are not in good health, don't come out."
The woman smiled lightly, "It's just a few steps, nothing serious."
Although Yan Kuan's complexion was dark, his movements were extremely gentle, afraid of being careless.The woman had long been used to Yan Kuan's appearance, and she could only see the gentle look and a little bit of anxiety in his eyes, "Did something happen outside?"
The woman never cared about outside affairs since she became a good man. Yan Kuan is an extremely smart person, and there is no need for her to run around outside.However, her keen sense of touch is still there, and it is not easy to be worn out by time.
Yan Kuan never kept anything from her, he twisted the veil with his own hands, and wiped the catkin with his hands, "There must be some movement in the house."
The woman held Yan Kuan's wrist with her backhand, "Has your identity been revealed?"
Yan Kuan laughed softly, "How could this be so, it's Zuoqiu. But I really wanted you to leave the mansion to avoid the limelight, I just wanted to come, but you refused."
The woman lightly smiled and touched Yan Kuan's rough face, "You should know, Eighth Master will not allow it." She was at the mansion both to appease Yan Kuan and to use it as an excuse.
It is impossible for Yinhu to let her leave.
Yan Kuan's face was a little gloomy. He didn't know what he thought of, but he was soothed by the woman's gentle movements, "It's fine, as long as you're here." What.
Some people are happy and some are worried, at this moment in Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi is sitting in front of a large desk rubbing the center of his brows, his face is not pretty.
Emperor Kangxi looked at the things found on the memorial and felt that his children were all debts, and he wished to stuff them all back.
Liang Jiugong stood beside him, seeing that Emperor Kangxi's expression was not good, he really didn't want to disturb the emperor, but there was always someone waiting outside the door, so he could only say, "Your Majesty, Princess Wenxian is waiting outside, look..."
Emperor Kangxi threw the memorial aside, and said, "Let her in." Concubine De had an accident, Wen Xian, his daughter, rushed to the palace as soon as possible, and took turns looking at Concubine De with Yinzhen, until yesterday. Yinzhen was driven back to rest together.
Wen Xian almost rushed in, his face was full of joy, "Huang Ama, Erniang is awake!"
Originally, Wen Xian came here and wanted to say that, of course, but while waiting outside, people from the Yonghe Palace came to announce the good news. When Wen Xian heard about this, he almost fainted from surprise.
Emperor Kangxi stood up abruptly, overjoyed, "It really is so!"
Wen Xian wept with joy and nodded repeatedly.
On May [-]th, Concubine De finally regained consciousness. Although her body was extremely weak, she was rescued. Although she had to drink medicine all the year round to recuperate her body, she was rescued anyway.
Yinzhen was delighted to hear about this happy event, but he didn't enter the palace as soon as he knew about it, but delayed for half an hour before entering the palace.
When waiting for Yinzhen to come, Concubine De has already fallen into a deep sleep, and Yinzhen can only learn about the situation from the words of others.Yinzhen punched him happily and angrily, "Why are you here at this time, my mother is asleep."
Yinzhen nodded at him, then looked at Wen Xian who was beside him with a tired face, and said in a low voice, "I told you to go back and rest, why don't you listen."
There were still tears on Wen Xian's face, and she couldn't care less about looking at it right now, she smiled and said, "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't be able to see Er Niang sober with my own eyes, and I'll go back later."
Yinzhen nodded, looked at the situation in the house, and left after a while.
Wen Xian was more sensitive, standing still and looking at the back of Yinzhen leaving, then turned to look at Yinzhen, "What's wrong with the fourth brother?"
Yinzhen was a little puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"
"...I won't talk to you anymore." Wen Xian threw away the older brother and found the maids of Yonghe Palace, only to learn that on the day Yinzhen came back, Concubine De drove everyone out of the palace to meet Yinzhen. chatted.Wen Xian frowned because of this, Er Niang chatting with the fourth brother?
At that time, what can we talk about?
A few days later, even Yinzhen noticed something different. Yinzhen almost never showed up at the Yonghe Palace when Concubine De was awake. Even if she came to visit in the morning, it was often too early or too late. Normally, no one could be seen. .
After Yinzhen deliberated for a long time, instead of recklessly looking for Yinzhen, he quietly brought Wen Xian here.
Wen Xian frowned, then glanced at Yinzhen, "I probably know what's going on, don't mention it in front of Er Niang."
Yinzhen rolled his eyes, "I'm not a fool, and Er Niang's current situation can't stimulate her." Although Concubine De's condition is gradually improving, she is still very weak.
Wen Xiandao, "Don't bother him with Fourth Brother, he can do whatever he wants." She made a final decision, "It's not Fourth Brother's fault. If Er Niang wanted to see him, she would naturally say so. If she didn't want to, it's right Fourth brother is actually a good thing."
Yinzhen was still a little puzzled, "Why would the fourth brother not want to talk to Er Niang?" After all, Concubine De had just narrowly escaped death, so it was not an easy matter.
Wen Xian had a look of pity in his eyes, "Go back and eat some walnuts on the [-]th, don't talk."
……
Prince Yong's Mansion.
Wen Liang realized that it was already summer when the cicadas began to chirp outside.Jiangnan has been stable for several months and nothing has happened, and even Gali, who Wen Liang has been sending people to watch closely, has not made much movement.
However, there is still some time before the provincial examination in September, and Wen Liang thinks if Ruo Gali has any other ideas, it may be at this time.If it is according to the time, even the emperor will not cover up anymore.
Wen Liang pressed her thoughts here, and began to sort out and summarize Jiangnan's information, and then picked up a special letter.To say it was special, this was not sent by anyone Wen Liang knew well, and there was no clear mark on the envelope, but it was still strange to be able to deliver it to Wen Liang.
Wen Liang stroked the cat's paw print on the seal, and knew that there were quite a few people who had a big cat in Wen Liang, but it wasn't that much.
Wen Liang opened the envelope, looked at the handwriting on it, and shook his head suddenly, it turned out that it was Wu Ren's news.
Ever since Wu Ren left the capital for Jiangnan, Wen Liang never heard from him again.At the beginning, he informed Yinzhen for the sake of Wenliang, and the Xishan matter was resolved because of him, but it also left traces.Wen Liang asked Yinzhen to send him away, and Wu Ren was willing to leave only after receiving Wen Liang's letter.
Wen Liang didn't need Wu Ren to help him do anything. After Wu Ren left, Wen Liang almost stopped paying attention to this person. Unexpectedly, Wen Liang didn't remember, but Wu Ren still remembered.
Wen Liang recalled what Wu Ren said back then, that he owed three lives... He shook his head and continued to look down, a little surprised after reading it.He squeezed the envelope, and a brass key poured out of it.
He pondered for a while, then called Lu Yi, and handed her the brass key in his hand, "Send someone to the escort office in Huangmei Hutong to get a dart."
Lu Yi didn't question it either, Dang even sent someone there.
In the afternoon, what Wen Liang wanted was placed in front of him. It was a small package, and it was indeed a dart escorted from Jiangnan. Because it was of little value, the escorts did not pay much attention to it. After confirming that the key could indeed be opened After depositing the dart box, he handed the box over to the visitor.And the thing taken out of it is this package.
Wen Liang opened the package, and there were layers of ledgers and letters inside, which made people frown.He picked up the envelope from Wu Ren again, and his eyes fell on the last line, "Pay it off three times."
It's really the third time.
Someone gave pillows to someone who was sleepy, Wen Liang didn't know where Wu Ren got so many account books, but Wen Liang carefully selected a few to see, it was indeed true.
Gali's contacts with rich merchants were also included, and what was recorded was not letters or ledgers, but gifts one after another.According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, officials were not allowed to accept bribes.As long as these sons of wealthy businessmen on the list take part in the next provincial examination, Gali's reputation for accepting bribes will be confirmed.
Wen Liang made people take the whole burden to the study outside, which made it a lot easier.
The foundation of Jiangnan is still there. Emperor Kangxi did know the problem, but there are too many parts involved. If there is no accurate evidence, Emperor Kangxi does not like to make waves, but if there is established evidence, then it is not such an attitude up.
Wu Ren's current life is obviously not very easy, Wen Liang exhaled, to get these important things from such people, I really don't know whether Wu Ren has become a gentleman on Liang, or used other means, it is almost impossible got these in the hands of people.
After Wen Liang finished sorting out the things at hand, he pushed away the paperwork and went out. Before he could go out from the yard, he bumped into Yinzhen at the door, which they often did these days.
Just as Wen Liang asked someone to send something to the outer study, seeing Yinzhen, before he could speak, he heard him say, "Sir, you might want to meet someone."
Wen Liang raised her eyebrows, "Is it someone you know?"
"It's the second brother."
Yinzhen said frankly.
"Master probably doesn't want someone to see the second elder brother." Wen Liang pursed his lips slightly, the relationship between Yinzhen and Yinreng is not good, and even though Emperor Kangxi let Yinzhen take care of Yinreng, it doesn't mean that Wenliang can do it. Follow Yinzhen into the room.
Yinzhen smiled lightly, "Sir, you're right, so I just asked." Yinzhen urged twice, and Yinzhen could convey it, but it was impossible for Wen Liang to enter the palace to meet him.
I can't, and I don't want to.
Wen Liang said, "Then the master came here, I think it's not because of this, but because of something else?"
According to Yinzhen's appearance, he shouldn't have come from the study outside, but he should have just returned home.
Yinzhen nodded, and said with a faint smile, "That's true, sir, come with me." It's rare for Wen Liang to see Yinzhen like this, and Yinzhen's mood has not been very good in the past month. After Concubine De wakes up, The spirit finally lifted up.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion and waited for them. Wen Liang followed Yinzhen into the carriage, and then told Yinzhen about Wu Ren in the carriage.Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
"You can send someone to investigate carefully. There may be some considerations in this."
Wen Liang, but at first glance, there should be more suitable candidates for Yin Zhen's subordinates.
Yinzhen nodded, holding warm hands, "Mr. has helped me a lot, it's really my luck."
Wen Liang caressed Yinzhen's fingertips, now it is May and June, which is the hottest season in the capital, Wen Liang felt the direction of the carriage, "Could it be that the Lord is planning to leave Beijing?"
Yinzhen smiled but said nothing, "I'll know when Mr. arrives."
Wen Liang pursed his lips slightly, Yinzhen was obviously pretending to be mysterious.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are just the most common things, and it seems a pity at best.
Two days ago, Wen Liang received news from the sticky pole. Since Yinzhen took Wen Liang to the sticky pole, and when Yinzhen was away, the news was sent directly to Wen Liang.
It was delivered by Zhang Qilin himself.
There are not many things worthy of attention these days, and Yinzhen has placed people around several brothers, in case something happens that cannot be known in time.This kind of method, whether it is for oneself or others, has some calculations in the bottom of my heart.
Wen Liang put the sorted news aside, rubbed his brows and leaned on the back of the chair, faintly feeling that something was wrong there.
Wen Liang pondered for a long while, took out all the news about Yinxuan and Yinhu to look at it again, and after comparing it, it was a bit inappropriate.There are several highly valued staff around Yinhu, Zuoqiu Yankuan and others are just one of them.
And this Zuoqiu had appeared in Yinyi's mansion half a month ago.
He glanced at those few lines again. Ever since Yinzhen failed in the election of the crown prince, the relationship between Yinzhen and Yinhu has become like fire and water. Yinzhen can't rub the sand in his eyes. Then the relationship with Yinhu is good.Under such circumstances, how could it be possible for Yinhu's staff to appear in Yinyi's mansion.
There must be something strange in this!
Wenliang sent people to dig out Zuoqiu's whereabouts during that time, and after sorting them into categories, they found that the place where Zuoqiu appeared most often was an ordinary medicine shop, even in the recent period of time, it was here. Once every three days, has never been cut off.
This may be something worthy of study, Wen Liang made a quick decision to have all the prescriptions in the pharmacy stolen.
There are not many people who frequent the pharmacy, but everyone who frequents needs to keep prescriptions for the pharmacy to fill. Wen Liang picked out the prescriptions that were obviously written recently and read them one by one, and finally settled on one of them. Zhang Shang.
"Chills, fever, sweating, periodicity..." Wen Liang looked at the symptom description above, looked at the prescriptions below several times, and sent someone to invite Dr. Li.
Dr. Li is Yinzhen's usual doctor, and he and Wen Liang are old acquaintances, after being invited by Wen Liang, he took a closer look at the prescription Wen Liang gave him, and shook his head seriously, "This is not malaria. "
Wen Liang said calmly, "However, the above description is very similar to malaria."
Doctor Li said with a chuckle, "That's true, but the symptoms are just a few, and the old man can see it from the prescription below. The prescription looks ordinary, but it's not a diagnosis of malaria, it's more like fighting poison with poison. Not ordinary malaria."
Wen Liang frowned, and suddenly had an idea in his heart, "If Dr. Li came to check the pulse and looked at the condition above, do you think it was malaria or poisoning?"
"This..." Dr. Li pondered. Different pathogens may have the same symptoms, which is indeed difficult to judge. "I don't know, I have to investigate it myself to find out."
Wen Liang said again, "What if you study this way?"
"Everything is inseparable from it. Unless someone deliberately induces it, it is impossible to make mistakes." Dr. Li said firmly.
If you really specialize in this way, it is impossible to make a mistake in judgment.
After combining these brief messages, Wen Liang pieced together a possible explanation, which may explain why Jin Ji Na Shuang could not heal De Fei.
However, why Zuoqiu appeared in Yinyi's mansion is still something Wen Liang can't figure out for the time being.
After hearing Wen Liang's words, Yinzhen's brows were full of evil spirits, and he stood in front of the bookshelf with his hands behind his back, his whole body was cold.
Seeing the fury flashing in his eyes, Wen Liang knew that Yinzhen had become really angry, and said calmly, "Master, there is no evidence here, whether it is from the emperor or Zuoqiu, it was only found by accident." , and there is no definite evidence to prove it, so don’t be impulsive.”
Yinzhen took a deep breath and said softly, "I know."
He stared fixedly at Wen Liang, stretched out his hand to brush his ears, "Thank you so much, sir." Now that he enters the palace and changes the imperial doctor, maybe he can still be saved.
Wen Liang watched Yinzhen pass by, and his cold voice slid through the air, "It's just for the Lord." As for Concubine De, Wen Liang didn't have any good feelings for her.
Xu Shi herself had experienced that kind of childhood before, Wen Liang didn't think that Concubine De was so pitiful, she walked her own way, and she couldn't blame anyone.
From the beginning of her ascension to the throne by virtue of Yinzhen, there was no room for comment.
Yinzhen laughed lightly, although the laughter was mixed with unconcealable heaviness, he finally laughed out loud, "Yes, sir treat me well."
On April 50, the 29th year of Kangxi, Yinzhen entered the palace overnight and begged Emperor Kangxi to change the imperial doctor again. Although there were some contradictions, Emperor Kangxi finally changed the imperial doctor and got the opposite pulse case, which made Emperor Kangxi furious. angry.
After re-examination, the doctor Zhang Yu who was in charge of pulse diagnosis had hanged himself in the house, and the other imperial doctors begged for mercy, saying that the pulse was determined by Zhang Yuyi alone, and they had no room for disputes.
Emperor Kangxi looked at those imperial physicians as if he was looking at a dead person. After beckoning to the guards to suppress them all, he suppressed his anger and waited for Doctor Chen's pulse diagnosis. This doctor Chen was always in charge of Emperor Kangxi's pulse case. If Yinzhen hadn't used his title as a guarantee this time, Emperor Kangxi would not have agreed to Yinzhen's request for no reason.
The fourth child acted in a safe manner, this almost reckless way was not his habit.
Emperor Kangxi stood outside with his hands behind his back, smelling the smell of medicine gradually seeping into the hall, he felt heavy in his heart.
"Your Majesty—" Doctor Chen came out carrying the medicine box, his expression was as usual, but his forehead was covered with sweat, obviously he had exhausted his mind just now.
He just helped Concubine De to perform acupuncture, and those places that are convenient are for him to come in person, and those places that are not suitable are for the doctor to give the acupuncture according to his command. In order for the doctor to grasp it properly, Doctor Chen compared himself It's hard to come in person.
"How is Concubine De's condition?"
Doctor Chen handed the box in his hand to the medicine boy behind him, and said in a hoarse voice, "The toxin on the body of the Concubine De, the old minister just injected some of the toxin, and with the help of heavy medicine, there may still be a fifth chance."
Since Chen Yuyi was under Emperor Kangxi, what he said was naturally true, and he did not hide anything.Emperor Kangxi frowned, "If that's the case, go and prescribe the medicine." He waved and took Doctor Chen down to prescribe the medicine, then looked back at Yinzhen who was standing silently in the room, "Fourth."
Yinzhen moved slightly when he heard the words, and moved his position, "Huang Ama?"
Emperor Kangxi glanced at Yinzhen who was still guarding the bed, with a tired expression on his face, "What happened?"
Yinzhen obviously heard what Chen Yuyi said just now, and his expression was not much relaxed, and said, "When I returned to the mansion, the master reminded my son that maybe something is wrong with his condition."
Emperor Kangxi also knew Wen Liang's sensitivity, and said after hearing this, "Why is Wen Liang suspicious?"
"Cinchona cream."
Cinchona cream was originally imported from the West. Although it saved the life of Emperor Kangxi, it also became the standing medicine of Emperor Kangxi in the Qing Palace. However, no one close to him got sick in the future. Although it was useless this time, the imperial doctor said convincingly, Coupled with mistrust of the West, no one doubts this.
Last time Emperor Kangxi was useful but it was God's gift to the emperor, this time it was useless to Concubine De, although it is a pity, it is not unacceptable.
After experiencing this incident, Yinzhen deeply realized that no matter what his attitude towards the West is in his daily life, his deep-rooted thoughts still remain unchanged.
Although Wen Liang's suspicion started from Zuoqiu, he also explained the problem of Cinchona Cream in detail. If there is really no problem with the condition, at least it can relieve some pain. However, this medicine is completely useless, in Wen Liang's opinion. Almost impossible.
Yinzhen did not mention his doubts about Yinhu and Yinxuan. Emperor Kangxi was also wary of Yinzhen. Without evidence, it was impossible to bring the two of them along. That would only make Emperor Kangxi think that Yinzhen was borrowing Machine trouble.
Emperor Kangxi reached out and patted Yinzhen's shoulder, "I will give you an explanation for Concubine De."
Even if Yinzhen didn't say anything, the doctor Zhang who hanged himself was not a hurdle that could be easily passed. If there was really nothing wrong, why did he commit suicide? How did poisoning and malaria get involved!
Emperor Kangxi's eyes were cold, and his thoughts were deeper and farther. Even the Taiyuan Hospital could be easily controlled by others, so wouldn't he, the emperor, be under the control of others all the time? !
After changing the imperial doctor, De Fei's condition tended to be stable. Although she never came to her senses, under the skillful hands of the imperial doctor Chen, she began to gradually recover.
Yinzhen coaxed Yinzhen back to rest. He spent too much time on the road with his horse and men, and after a few days of guarding Concubine De, he looked haggard. He didn't know who was the patient.After Yinzhen reluctantly went back to Elder Brother's place to wash up, he forced himself to sleep for twelve hours, which finally scared Wanyan terribly.
After Wen Liang received the news from the palace, he knew that his guess was right.
Zuoqiu is indeed related to this matter, and Yinhu is naturally the mastermind behind it, but what is going on with Yinzhen...Wen Liang is silent, is the malice towards Yinzhen enough to make the two of them join forces?
From Dr. Li's words, Wen Liang deduced that there might be something wrong with the imperial doctor in the palace who was in charge of diagnosing Concubine De.Dr. Li said that different illnesses may have similar manifestations. What if Defei's fever, sweating and chills are not due to malaria, but other real causes?
Among them, the only one who can judge this matter is the imperial doctor who is in charge of Concubine De's condition this time!
Zhang Yuyi committed suicide when he heard the news. Wen Liang started from his identity and traced the past events, but did not find out his relationship with the two elder brothers.Imperial doctor Zhang studied at a young age, later studied pharmacology, and after passing the selection examination, he was admitted to the Imperial Hospital. After decades of time, he was mixed into the position of imperial physician.
There must be something missing.
Wen Liang tapped on the table, looked at his situation several times, glanced at his youthful experience, and finally realized it.
Starting from here, the person who recommended him should be Nalan Pearl, which can be regarded as his kindness.This imperial doctor belongs to Yinyi!
However, this can't get rid of Wen Liang's doubts about Yinhu in the slightest. From his point of view, Zuoqiu went to Yinhu's mansion just to make a fool of himself and to cause trouble.
If it was really Yinxi who did it, it would be too obvious to use Doctor Zhang to hand them the evidence in front of them.
But Wen Liang also knew that it was because of Yinzhen's sticky stick, otherwise this dusty past would have been difficult to dig out.
Yinhu had long expected that someone would squat to check, so he specially asked Zuoqiu to misfortune him. Even if he noticed the situation of Yinxuan and Yinhu, he would bring Yinzhen into the circle and start to become suspicious.Let's get rid of the imperial doctor's question first, which can indeed explain most of the situation.
There's just something wrong with it.
Wen Liang clicked on the prescription that he put on the left. If it didn't exist, Wen Liang wouldn't have doubted it so quickly.
Who put this prescription in the pharmacy?
If this matter is really a situation that Yinhu set up by Zuoqiu, this prescription is undoubtedly a failure in it, directly exposing the most important point of the whole strategy, otherwise Wen Liang may not be able to think of opening the coffin until after the death of Concubine De Post-mortem this way.
Wen Liang circled the two words Zuoqiu and Yaofang with cinnabar, then squinted his eyes and began to recall what Yinzhen had said.He always felt as if something had been overlooked, it was something Yin Zhen had mentioned, but it had been a long time.
"Meow-"
Wen Liang lightly jumped on the ground, stepped on Wen Liang's knees with four small paws, then raised his two front paws against Wen Liang's chest, rubbed the fluffy cat's head close to his face, and then Meow meow meow.
Wen Liang squeezed the back of her neck smoothly, and the warm and soft touch was very comfortable.He was distracted thinking, is it because of this that Yinzhen likes to touch the back of his neck, because it is very comfortable to touch?
and many more!
Wen Liang suddenly remembered that Yinzhen once mentioned that he had placed an internal agent in Yinhu's mansion.Wen Liang knew about this at the beginning because Yinzhen told him after his carriage had an accident after leaving the palace.
Yinzhen thought that there was something wrong with the plan, and it was because the system was involved in it. If the system did not appear, Yinzhen would have known all the situation in advance, and had secretly reminded Wenliang about it.
To be able to know about this strategy, one must be someone close to Yinhu.
Wen Liang's eyes fell on another person who was juxtaposed with Zuoqiu, could it be him?
The next day, Yinzhen was driven back to rest by the sober Yinzhen. Before going back to the study outside, Yinzhen went to the small courtyard of Wenliang. If it wasn't for Wenliang's sensitivity and prudence, such a turnaround might not have happened.
When Yinzhen saw Wen Liang, he was resting with his eyes closed under a small blanket in the courtyard. Wen Liang was lying on his knees, his little head protruding from the edge of the blanket, with the warm body temperature of a big cat. Not much difference either.
When Wen Liang opened his eyes listening to the sound of footsteps, Yin Zhen had already walked to his side, stretched out his hand and stroked the big cat's chin, causing Wen Liang to purr in satisfaction.
"My lord should take a good rest." The dark circles under Yinzhen's eyelids were very obvious, and he didn't know how many days he hadn't rested.This is not much different from the one who guarded Emperor Kangxi in Qianqing Palace.
Yinzhen sat down on the stone bench next to Wen Liang, "I came back to rest, and I will enter the palace tomorrow." With Yinzhen watching in the palace, he was indeed relieved.
"Master, is Yan Kuan your man in the eighth master's mansion?" Wen Liang said bluntly.
Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, not surprised, "Mister guessed it?"
"If that's the case, I really have to reward him well." Wen Liang pursed his lips, and handed the prescription to Yinzhen, "He should have put it in the pharmacy."
Zuoqiu was so valued by Yinhu, even if he really went to see a doctor, it would be impossible to put such a prescription in the pharmacy, unless Zuoqiu was the one who leaked the secret.However, after careful identification, Wen Liang still thought that Zuo Qiu was not this person.
If it was really Zuoqiu, Yinzhen had to know about it.Concubine De is in critical condition, and Yinzhen's pain is not fake.
Yinzhen took the prescription from Wen Liang and looked at it carefully, "If it's him, this time is really lucky." He looked at Wen Liang and said, "It is indeed Yan Kuan."
Yan Kuan was Yinhu's person from the very beginning, and the reason why he defected to Yinzhen in the future had something to do with Yinrong.
The woman Yan Kuan loved all his life was a spy under Yinreng's command. Yan Kuan came to the capital from the south of the Yangtze River because of this. Yinzhen helped Yan Kuan rescue the spy, and then the two got married, and it was Yinzhen who wiped away all traces .
But later, Yan Kuan became Yinhu's subordinate by mistake, which can be regarded as fate.
Yan Kuan is a gloomy and cunning person, he thrives under Yinhu's hands, but the favor he owes to Yinzhen is true, before Yinzhen knew about it, he would occasionally leak secrets to Yinzhen, such a traitor The Lord's work is also done in a real way.
"Speaking of which, when I rescued that man back then, I met Mr. at almost the same time." Yinzhen sighed, he only learned of Yan Kuan's identity later on, after all, Yinzhen's power was not that great at that time Da Da, the identity of the casually rescued person was not investigated carefully, and the subsequent communication is another matter.
Wen Liang said, "Second Elder Brother didn't suspect this?" Calculated by that time, it was already many years ago, and the relationship between Yinzhen and the prince should be fair at that time.
Yinzhen said, "There is no doubt that a few abandoned spies died on the road." There was indeed an investigation afterwards, but since Yan Kuan was able to chase the capital from the south of the Yangtze River, he did lay the groundwork when he did it, so that Yinzhen rescued him. When I was a human, I didn't suspect anything at first.
"Since it's Yan Kuan, if the matter about Doctor Zhang is exposed, the Eighth Master will definitely suspect that there are spies in the mansion." Wen Liang said firmly, Yinhu must be furious if a plan that seemed to have no trace was leaked like this.
Yinzhen evoked a cold smile, and said in a low voice, "Of course we can't make him feel better." Introducing Yinzhen back to Beijing, plus the three-year filial piety period for his mother's death, Yinhu really has a good plan!
On the eighth master's house.
Zuoqiu was sweating profusely. He leaned against the head of the bed and frowned uncomfortably. He was not feeling well these days. After seeing the doctor for more than half a month, he didn't see much improvement.Fortunately, in the past two days, I have gradually recovered, and I have some strength.
There was a light knock on the door, Zuoqiu raised his voice, "Brother Yan?"
Yan Kuan pushed the door open and saw Zuo Qiu's appearance at a glance, "Your body hasn't recovered yet?"
Zuoqiu shrugged helplessly, "I've recovered a little in the past two days, but luckily I'm a little lighter."
Yan Kuan nodded, sat down on the chair beside Zuoqiu, and said indifferently, "Make your own plans."
Zuoqiu's heart suddenly jumped, and he immediately thought of what he had done before.He calmed down, the matter was very careful, even Yan Kuan didn't know about it, so there should be nothing wrong.Coupled with the fact that he heard the news about Concubine De in a daze two days ago, this matter should be done.
Yan Kuan poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Just now in the study, Ba Ye was so angry that he smashed the cup."
Zuoqiu froze for a moment, then heard Yan Kuan's gloomy voice, "Your name has been mentioned many times."
Zuoqiu fell into deep thought, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he thought about the previous situation many times, no matter how he calculated it, there was no big problem, what went wrong!
When Zuoqiu suddenly came back to his senses, Yan Kuan had already left.In his heart, he was grateful to Yan Kuan who came to inform him in advance, and calculated what might happen in his heart, lest he would not even have time to react when the master came to question him.
Yan Kuan and Zuoqiu are both Yinhu's valued staff, and they both have their own small courtyards in the front yard. When Zuoqiu was meditating, Yan Kuan's figure had already appeared in his own small courtyard.
"You're back."
A gentle woman came out of it with lotus steps, with a soft face and an indescribable elegance all over her body.Yan Kuan supported her to walk inside, "You are not in good health, don't come out."
The woman smiled lightly, "It's just a few steps, nothing serious."
Although Yan Kuan's complexion was dark, his movements were extremely gentle, afraid of being careless.The woman had long been used to Yan Kuan's appearance, and she could only see the gentle look and a little bit of anxiety in his eyes, "Did something happen outside?"
The woman never cared about outside affairs since she became a good man. Yan Kuan is an extremely smart person, and there is no need for her to run around outside.However, her keen sense of touch is still there, and it is not easy to be worn out by time.
Yan Kuan never kept anything from her, he twisted the veil with his own hands, and wiped the catkin with his hands, "There must be some movement in the house."
The woman held Yan Kuan's wrist with her backhand, "Has your identity been revealed?"
Yan Kuan laughed softly, "How could this be so, it's Zuoqiu. But I really wanted you to leave the mansion to avoid the limelight, I just wanted to come, but you refused."
The woman lightly smiled and touched Yan Kuan's rough face, "You should know, Eighth Master will not allow it." She was at the mansion both to appease Yan Kuan and to use it as an excuse.
It is impossible for Yinhu to let her leave.
Yan Kuan's face was a little gloomy. He didn't know what he thought of, but he was soothed by the woman's gentle movements, "It's fine, as long as you're here." What.
Some people are happy and some are worried, at this moment in Qianqing Palace, Emperor Kangxi is sitting in front of a large desk rubbing the center of his brows, his face is not pretty.
Emperor Kangxi looked at the things found on the memorial and felt that his children were all debts, and he wished to stuff them all back.
Liang Jiugong stood beside him, seeing that Emperor Kangxi's expression was not good, he really didn't want to disturb the emperor, but there was always someone waiting outside the door, so he could only say, "Your Majesty, Princess Wenxian is waiting outside, look..."
Emperor Kangxi threw the memorial aside, and said, "Let her in." Concubine De had an accident, Wen Xian, his daughter, rushed to the palace as soon as possible, and took turns looking at Concubine De with Yinzhen, until yesterday. Yinzhen was driven back to rest together.
Wen Xian almost rushed in, his face was full of joy, "Huang Ama, Erniang is awake!"
Originally, Wen Xian came here and wanted to say that, of course, but while waiting outside, people from the Yonghe Palace came to announce the good news. When Wen Xian heard about this, he almost fainted from surprise.
Emperor Kangxi stood up abruptly, overjoyed, "It really is so!"
Wen Xian wept with joy and nodded repeatedly.
On May [-]th, Concubine De finally regained consciousness. Although her body was extremely weak, she was rescued. Although she had to drink medicine all the year round to recuperate her body, she was rescued anyway.
Yinzhen was delighted to hear about this happy event, but he didn't enter the palace as soon as he knew about it, but delayed for half an hour before entering the palace.
When waiting for Yinzhen to come, Concubine De has already fallen into a deep sleep, and Yinzhen can only learn about the situation from the words of others.Yinzhen punched him happily and angrily, "Why are you here at this time, my mother is asleep."
Yinzhen nodded at him, then looked at Wen Xian who was beside him with a tired face, and said in a low voice, "I told you to go back and rest, why don't you listen."
There were still tears on Wen Xian's face, and she couldn't care less about looking at it right now, she smiled and said, "If it wasn't for this, I wouldn't be able to see Er Niang sober with my own eyes, and I'll go back later."
Yinzhen nodded, looked at the situation in the house, and left after a while.
Wen Xian was more sensitive, standing still and looking at the back of Yinzhen leaving, then turned to look at Yinzhen, "What's wrong with the fourth brother?"
Yinzhen was a little puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"
"...I won't talk to you anymore." Wen Xian threw away the older brother and found the maids of Yonghe Palace, only to learn that on the day Yinzhen came back, Concubine De drove everyone out of the palace to meet Yinzhen. chatted.Wen Xian frowned because of this, Er Niang chatting with the fourth brother?
At that time, what can we talk about?
A few days later, even Yinzhen noticed something different. Yinzhen almost never showed up at the Yonghe Palace when Concubine De was awake. Even if she came to visit in the morning, it was often too early or too late. Normally, no one could be seen. .
After Yinzhen deliberated for a long time, instead of recklessly looking for Yinzhen, he quietly brought Wen Xian here.
Wen Xian frowned, then glanced at Yinzhen, "I probably know what's going on, don't mention it in front of Er Niang."
Yinzhen rolled his eyes, "I'm not a fool, and Er Niang's current situation can't stimulate her." Although Concubine De's condition is gradually improving, she is still very weak.
Wen Xiandao, "Don't bother him with Fourth Brother, he can do whatever he wants." She made a final decision, "It's not Fourth Brother's fault. If Er Niang wanted to see him, she would naturally say so. If she didn't want to, it's right Fourth brother is actually a good thing."
Yinzhen was still a little puzzled, "Why would the fourth brother not want to talk to Er Niang?" After all, Concubine De had just narrowly escaped death, so it was not an easy matter.
Wen Xian had a look of pity in his eyes, "Go back and eat some walnuts on the [-]th, don't talk."
……
Prince Yong's Mansion.
Wen Liang realized that it was already summer when the cicadas began to chirp outside.Jiangnan has been stable for several months and nothing has happened, and even Gali, who Wen Liang has been sending people to watch closely, has not made much movement.
However, there is still some time before the provincial examination in September, and Wen Liang thinks if Ruo Gali has any other ideas, it may be at this time.If it is according to the time, even the emperor will not cover up anymore.
Wen Liang pressed her thoughts here, and began to sort out and summarize Jiangnan's information, and then picked up a special letter.To say it was special, this was not sent by anyone Wen Liang knew well, and there was no clear mark on the envelope, but it was still strange to be able to deliver it to Wen Liang.
Wen Liang stroked the cat's paw print on the seal, and knew that there were quite a few people who had a big cat in Wen Liang, but it wasn't that much.
Wen Liang opened the envelope, looked at the handwriting on it, and shook his head suddenly, it turned out that it was Wu Ren's news.
Ever since Wu Ren left the capital for Jiangnan, Wen Liang never heard from him again.At the beginning, he informed Yinzhen for the sake of Wenliang, and the Xishan matter was resolved because of him, but it also left traces.Wen Liang asked Yinzhen to send him away, and Wu Ren was willing to leave only after receiving Wen Liang's letter.
Wen Liang didn't need Wu Ren to help him do anything. After Wu Ren left, Wen Liang almost stopped paying attention to this person. Unexpectedly, Wen Liang didn't remember, but Wu Ren still remembered.
Wen Liang recalled what Wu Ren said back then, that he owed three lives... He shook his head and continued to look down, a little surprised after reading it.He squeezed the envelope, and a brass key poured out of it.
He pondered for a while, then called Lu Yi, and handed her the brass key in his hand, "Send someone to the escort office in Huangmei Hutong to get a dart."
Lu Yi didn't question it either, Dang even sent someone there.
In the afternoon, what Wen Liang wanted was placed in front of him. It was a small package, and it was indeed a dart escorted from Jiangnan. Because it was of little value, the escorts did not pay much attention to it. After confirming that the key could indeed be opened After depositing the dart box, he handed the box over to the visitor.And the thing taken out of it is this package.
Wen Liang opened the package, and there were layers of ledgers and letters inside, which made people frown.He picked up the envelope from Wu Ren again, and his eyes fell on the last line, "Pay it off three times."
It's really the third time.
Someone gave pillows to someone who was sleepy, Wen Liang didn't know where Wu Ren got so many account books, but Wen Liang carefully selected a few to see, it was indeed true.
Gali's contacts with rich merchants were also included, and what was recorded was not letters or ledgers, but gifts one after another.According to the laws of the Qing Dynasty, officials were not allowed to accept bribes.As long as these sons of wealthy businessmen on the list take part in the next provincial examination, Gali's reputation for accepting bribes will be confirmed.
Wen Liang made people take the whole burden to the study outside, which made it a lot easier.
The foundation of Jiangnan is still there. Emperor Kangxi did know the problem, but there are too many parts involved. If there is no accurate evidence, Emperor Kangxi does not like to make waves, but if there is established evidence, then it is not such an attitude up.
Wu Ren's current life is obviously not very easy, Wen Liang exhaled, to get these important things from such people, I really don't know whether Wu Ren has become a gentleman on Liang, or used other means, it is almost impossible got these in the hands of people.
After Wen Liang finished sorting out the things at hand, he pushed away the paperwork and went out. Before he could go out from the yard, he bumped into Yinzhen at the door, which they often did these days.
Just as Wen Liang asked someone to send something to the outer study, seeing Yinzhen, before he could speak, he heard him say, "Sir, you might want to meet someone."
Wen Liang raised her eyebrows, "Is it someone you know?"
"It's the second brother."
Yinzhen said frankly.
"Master probably doesn't want someone to see the second elder brother." Wen Liang pursed his lips slightly, the relationship between Yinzhen and Yinreng is not good, and even though Emperor Kangxi let Yinzhen take care of Yinreng, it doesn't mean that Wenliang can do it. Follow Yinzhen into the room.
Yinzhen smiled lightly, "Sir, you're right, so I just asked." Yinzhen urged twice, and Yinzhen could convey it, but it was impossible for Wen Liang to enter the palace to meet him.
I can't, and I don't want to.
Wen Liang said, "Then the master came here, I think it's not because of this, but because of something else?"
According to Yinzhen's appearance, he shouldn't have come from the study outside, but he should have just returned home.
Yinzhen nodded, and said with a faint smile, "That's true, sir, come with me." It's rare for Wen Liang to see Yinzhen like this, and Yinzhen's mood has not been very good in the past month. After Concubine De wakes up, The spirit finally lifted up.
The carriage stopped in front of the mansion and waited for them. Wen Liang followed Yinzhen into the carriage, and then told Yinzhen about Wu Ren in the carriage.Yinzhen raised his eyebrows, "Really?"
"You can send someone to investigate carefully. There may be some considerations in this."
Wen Liang, but at first glance, there should be more suitable candidates for Yin Zhen's subordinates.
Yinzhen nodded, holding warm hands, "Mr. has helped me a lot, it's really my luck."
Wen Liang caressed Yinzhen's fingertips, now it is May and June, which is the hottest season in the capital, Wen Liang felt the direction of the carriage, "Could it be that the Lord is planning to leave Beijing?"
Yinzhen smiled but said nothing, "I'll know when Mr. arrives."
Wen Liang pursed his lips slightly, Yinzhen was obviously pretending to be mysterious.
