On the wedding night, the substitute princess cured the war king's poison

"This scar was left by a bump many years ago. It definitely did not appear in recent years, and it certainly was not left by a burn."

Ning Luo looked at the scar on the back of Zhang Fang's head and gave a clear diagnosis.

"You are talking nonsense, young doctor. I got this scar this year." Zhang Fang still refused to admit it. "I was trying to save a grain warehouse when I was hit by a crossbeam and then burned by the fire. That's why I got this scar."

Li Yi shouted, "How dare you! She is not just any doctor. She is the imperial physician, Doctor Ning, who was ordered by the emperor to go to the southwest to provide disaster relief!"

Zhang Fang's heart trembled when he heard this, and then he became more honest. He bowed and apologized to Ning Luo, "I am blind and I just said something wrong. I hope that Doctor Ning will not hold it against me."

Ning Luo smiled coldly, "If you don't agree with my diagnosis, I have my own way to verify it. Let's just talk about the facts. You said that this scar appeared this year. When was the fire?"

In order to match the date with the fire in the granary, Zhang Fangyuan lied, "The third day of last month."

"Oh, are there any witnesses at the scene?"

"Witnesses...witnesses are..." Zhang Fang turned and pointed at his subordinates, "They can all testify for me."

Ning Luo had a plan in mind and asked suddenly.

"Did all these people see you put out the fire?"

Zhang Fang: "Yes, they all saw it."

Thinking that these are his people, they will naturally protect him.

Ning Luo asked again: "Did they participate in the firefighting?"

"Was anyone else injured?"

Zhang Fang had not expected to be asked this question. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Two yamen runners were burned to death."

The two who died were betrayers, otherwise the fact that the grain in the reserve granary was sold would not have been leaked.

Ning Luo smiled and nodded.

"Okay, we'll believe you for now."

Zhang Fang had just breathed a sigh of relief when Ning Luo said to Li Yi, "Your Majesty, since the witness is here, why not settle the case right here?"

"Solve a case? Solve what case?" Zhang Fang suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap.

Li Yi said: "Of course it was the fire in the grain storage warehouse."

Ning Luo approached him and whispered in his ear, "Separate them and have them testify about the fire that day one by one. If the testimonies are inconsistent, we can solve the case."

The gentle whisper in his ear made Li Yi feel numb for no reason.

Doesn't this girl know how provocative this is?

He suppressed the throbbing in his heart, nodded calmly, and whispered, "Don't whisper in other people's ears from now on."

Ning Luo realized it belatedly and responded with a smile and pursed her lips.

"Come here, have these yamen runners, including the driver, line up and come forward to answer questions one by one."

At Li Yi's command, Xie Zhan immediately arranged for the guards with swords to divide the Nan County yamen runners into two teams and stand fifty meters away.

Zhang Fang was so frightened that his palms were sweating and his back was cold.

The yamen runners also looked terrified.

The first bailiff who was brought in for questioning was so frightened by the regent's stern expression that he began to tremble uncontrollably.

Li Yi said in a deep voice: "I haven't asked anything yet, what are you afraid of? Tell me the truth about how Lord Zhang discovered the fire that day."

The bailiff looked at Zhang Fang, and only dared to reply when he saw him nod.

"Reporting to the Regent, someone suddenly reported that the granary had caught fire that night, so Lord Zhang took us to put out the fire."

Li Yi: "Did you go there on horseback or in a sedan chair?"

"Take the sedan chair."

"How long did it take to get here?"

"I estimate that they will arrive in two quarters of an hour."

"How did Master Zhang put out the fire?"

"Master Zhang...Master Zhang took a bucket of water and rushed directly into the sea of ​​fire."

"Where did he get the water from, and who gave him the bucket?"

When the man heard such detailed questions, he couldn't continue making up stories.

"Your Majesty, I was frightened by the fire that day and I don't remember the details now."

Li Yi said: "Go down, next one."

The next one to come up was calmer.

"Your Majesty, the scar on the back of our master's head was indeed caused by fire."

"Were you also involved in the firefighting at that time?" Li Yi asked.

"Yes."

"Fighting the fire at the same place as Lord Zhang?"

"Yes."

"Were you burned by the fire?"

"No."

"Why?"

"Because..." The man suddenly fell silent and could not continue making up a story.
