Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 157 Returning favors
Xu Xingyin didn't say anything nor did he try to stop them. He just let them quarrel. He thought to himself that Mrs. Qin was obviously using a joke to illustrate her point. This play, "A Good Wife Brings Peace," must be very exciting.
Just for this reason, Xu Xingyin watched the play "A Good Wife is a Peaceful One" very seriously.
This play tells the story of a scholar who married a lady named Lu from an official family, and then, with the financial support of the Lu family, he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination and won the top spot.
From then on, the couple's life was finally on track. Unfortunately, the later top scholar kept a mistress in the city without telling Mrs. Lu because his wife could not give birth to a son. She gave birth to a son the following year.
In order to suppress the number one scholar, the opponent of the number one scholar, Lord Qiao, revealed the matter to Mrs. Lu. Everyone thought that Mrs. Lu would make a big fuss, but Mrs. Lu calmly took the concubine who gave birth to the child back to her house and made her a concubine.
After calmly handling all this, Mrs. Lu informed the top scholar of what Mr. Qiao had done, and the couple finally joined hands to defeat Mr. Qiao.
After this incident, the top scholar thought he had married a very good woman, and he wanted only to apologize to Mrs. Lu and then live a good life.
However, unexpectedly, Lu had already lost his heart after this incident and died of depression.
The top scholar was tortured by the condemnation of his conscience and chose to become a monk.
Xu Xingyin was looking at the stage while observing Zhang Tong's movements.
When the scene on stage played the part where Lu took the tea from the mistress of the concubine's room, even though Zhang Tong tried her best to hide it, Xu Xingyin could sense a hint of unwillingness on her face.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Xingyin made a deliberately indignant comment.
"It's fine if he's just flirting with other women, but what the top scholar is doing is questioning his wife's tolerance for others. It's wrong both emotionally and morally."
Madam Qin laughed sweetly and glanced at Zhang Tong meaningfully, "That's exactly the reason!"
Seeing the two people's reactions, Xu Xingyin confirmed his guess.
She pursed her lips and smiled, saying nothing more until the song ended, then she raised her eyebrows and gave instructions to Aoying.
"Please, Lord Aoying, check whether Zhang Songping has a mistress."
After finishing this, Xu Xingyin remembered Jing Zhichen.
He had been in the yamen for two days, and he didn't know whether he had taken the medicine on time or how his wound was.
It would have been fine if he didn't think about it, but when he thought about Jing Zhichen's injury, Xu Xingyin became more and more restless.
He took his people to the kitchen to boil the medicine, then picked up a pen to write down what he had found out. Finally, he called on the Black Tiger Cavalry to deliver it to the yamen.
"Good-for-nothing! So many people taking turns to watch over it, and they can't even keep it under control!"
Jing Zhichen was furious in the yamen when he received the medicine sent by Xu Xingyin.
Liu Yongfeng died in the cell at night. According to the autopsy results, Liu Yongfeng committed suicide.
In the words of the officials in Jiangning, it was called "committing suicide out of fear of punishment."
Dong Hongbin, who accepted bribes from Shou Ma, and the Baoling County Magistrate, who knew about the situation but did not report it, only knew the evidence of Liu Yongfeng's wrongdoings.
The skinny guys only knew about Liu Yongfeng from beginning to end, and Mei Hanxuan, the only one who had heard the secret conversation, didn't know who the person was talking to.
As for the salt transportation issue, based on the current evidence, the only result of investigation will be that Liu Yongfeng was blinded by greed, and he packaged several false identities and used the false identities to divide the salt transportation rights equally.
Therefore, there were no procedural flaws in the salt transport process; it was simply a matter of negligence.
All the evidence pointed to Liu Yongfeng. The dead cannot refute anything. In addition, the current evidence was not enough for them to investigate the matter more deeply. Liu Yongfeng naturally became the planner of the whole incident.
Xiao Anzi took the food box and secret letter from the Black Tiger Cavalry and brought them into the study. The night wind was very cool and gently blew away the man's tightly furrowed brows.
"Sent by the Crown Princess?"
"Exactly."
Xiao Anzi responded quickly, then added another sentence after thinking about it.
"The Crown Princess is worried about your health and asked you to take good care of yourself."
Jing Zhichen pursed his lips and didn't respond, but his brows softened as expected.
He read the information on the letter carefully, and then opened the lid of the food box. Inside was a bowl of boiled medicine and a small dish of candied yellow peaches next to it. Cui Detao laughed when he saw it.
"The Crown Princess is meticulous. She is afraid that good medicine will taste bitter."
"Really? I'm not a child, why should I be afraid of suffering?"
Although Jing Zhichen refuted like this on the surface, he felt sweet in his heart. The corners of his lips finally stretched out a little, and then he picked up the medicine bowl and said.
"As the ancients said, give a favor and return a favor. I think the Crown Princess has been bored staying in the posthouse these days. Please tell her a message from me."
"Yes."
……
In the prison where Jiangning's serious criminals were held, the long corridor seemed to have no end.
The bloodstained prisoner stretched out his hands and yelled "help me", but was kicked by the jailer.
"Be quiet, don't disturb the noble man."
A woman in a water-blue brocade robe walked slowly among them. The jailer half bent his body and led the way with a lantern in front. The bright light made the hairpin on the woman's head sparkle, which was even more out of place with the dilapidated place.
Xu Xingyin clenched his fists, obviously still not coming to his senses.
She had never thought that just a bowl of medicine from her would earn her such a generous gift from Jing Zhichen.
After two years, I can finally see everyone in the General's Mansion again.
"My Lady Crown Princess, this is it!"
When they reached the end of the corridor, the jailer introduced Xu Xingyin in a flattering tone.
"I understand." With his nails deeply embedded in his palms, Xu Xingyin finally found some rationality from the pain and gave the order without changing his expression.
"Open the door, and then go down and wait. I want to talk to them alone."
"This……"
The jailer was a little embarrassed. "My Lady Crown Princess, the conditions in prison are harsh. Many people become mentally ill after being there for a while, and some even don't recognize their relatives. If you go there alone... it might be dangerous."
Xu Xingyin chuckled when he heard this and asked back suddenly.
"You mean, are you willing to take the knife for me?"
In such a scene, these words seem particularly eerie.
The jailer was sweating profusely, but he didn't dare to say a word, thinking that he was shooting himself in the foot.
However, Xu Xingyin, who had been difficult to talk to just now, waved his hand impatiently.
"I will make my own decision. Everyone, please go down."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The jailer who had escaped a disaster dared not say anything more. He immediately nodded and agreed, and retreated with the guards and maids.
The only source of light in the dark space was the flickering oil lamps on the wall, and the air was filled with the smell of decay and blood.
Wet haystacks were piled up in a mess on the ground, and the nobles of the former Zhennan General’s Mansion were huddled on the haystacks in thin gray prison uniforms.
Xu Xingyin recognized the people inside at a glance. They were her grandmother, Old Madam Chen, her aunt Chen Yuan, her second aunt Chen Yang, her eldest cousin Chen Simo, and her younger cousin Chen Siyao.
