Sir, I can do it!

Wei Zhao never expected that things would go so full circle that he would be involved in Taoshan's case.The person painted on that portrait was the force who fell off the cliff from Taoshan that day!

Wei Zhao rubbed his head, called a yamen servant, gave him a warrant and the portrait, and asked him to go to Shuntian Mansion to bring the case over.He leaned over the desk and read the secret record of the harem.

Needless to say, there are many secrets written down in this thin booklet.

"In the third year of Jingde, Changping presented a glazed eight-treasure beauty vase with a colorful body. It was placed in a dark room and shone like a pearl. The sage loved it very much, embraced it to sleep, and dreamed it into the vase. The next day, the beauty in the vase disappeared. Not seen, the light is lost, the saint is shocked."

"In the sixth year of Jingde, Concubine Wen gave birth to a civet cat. The saint thought it was a monster and set it on fire."

"In the fifth year of Showa, auspiciousness descended from heaven, the dragon soared above the palace, and the sage was delighted."

"..."

Most of the things recorded in the secret record are weird things, which will not be recorded in the official history.Even if there are, there are many things that can show the emperor's grace like the auspicious auspiciousness in the fifth year of Showa.Wei Zhao flipped through a few pages, and the pamphlet also recorded some ways to maintain the concubines.What's more, it eats the placenta of newborns.Wei Zhao's stomach churned twice, feeling a little uncomfortable.

It is simply that Mr. Wuqi has not arrived in the capital yet, so he intends to take the tapes of secrets back to the mansion, and ask Old Doctor Lin to prescribe the medicine first.

Just as he was packing his things and planning to skip work, a yamen servant ran in and said, "My lord, there is a woman outside the yamen who wants to report the crime."

Wei Zhao waved his hand: "I have other cases at hand, you can go to other adults, I think Lord Qiu is quite free, and he still talks to people."

The yamen servant hesitated for a moment, and said bravely, "But that woman pointed out that she wanted to find Mr. Wei."

Wei Zhao raised his eyebrows: "Who is it? You have such a big face. Besides, you have to go to court before reporting the crime. What's the matter with me directly!"

The yamen servant choked: "The woman insisted on seeing Da Wei before saying so, and that someone was staring at her and trying to kill her. Seeing the woman flustered, the young man lingered outside the yamen for a long time before he dared to come forward. Bad for her."

Wei Zhao glanced at him, thinking that this little yamen servant is kind.

"Okay, okay, it's not too late, you can bring people in."

The yamen servant bowed and saluted, then turned and retreated.

Wei Zhao straightened the table, leaned on the back of the chair and half-closed his eyes.

Not long after, the yamen servant brought a woman in.Wei Zhao raised his eyelids, and saw the woman's reserved face.

"Who are you, and what grievances do you want to sue this officer?"

Nanny Lin glanced at the little yamen servant, and the little yamen servant looked up at Wei Zhao. Seeing Wei Zhao nodding, he retreated obediently and stood guard outside the door.

Wei Zhao took a deep look at Nanny Lin: "You can talk now."

Nanny Lin suddenly fell to her knees: "Master Wei, please make the decision for my young wife and miss."

"Then you are telling me who your wife is."

Nanny Lin took a deep breath and said, "My young wife is the Second Mrs. Zhao of Uncle Kang Ning's Mansion. She gave birth half a month ago and died of blood collapse. One corpse and two lives."

Wei Zhao sat up straight at once. He was very sensitive to the word Xuebeng, so he couldn't help squinting his eyes: "You mean to suspect that there is something hidden about Mrs. Zhao's death?"

Nanny Lin nodded.

Wei Zhao looked at her and asked, "Which stable wife and doctor did you hire, what did the doctor say?"

Sister Lin said: "We invited Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang from the west of the city. These two stable women have always had a good reputation. They were invited into the mansion to take care of the second young lady after only three months. In order to ensure safety on the day of the delivery, we invited the Tongji Hall in the west of the city. Doctor Tan sits in charge."

Wei Zhao knocked on the table, and said, "Doctor Tan of Tongji Hall is well-known, but it happened during childbirth that he was so dangerous that he collapsed?"

Mentioning this, Nanny Lin's face darkened, she gritted her teeth and said: "At the beginning, the Zhao family didn't show up, and the Zhao family begged for this marriage with my Lin family in Zizhou. Now the Zhao family is making a comeback thanks to Concubine Zhao and the in-laws all over the place. Put our Lin family in your eyes. Mrs. Uncle chose a niece from her natal family to enter the mansion on the grounds that Mrs. Er Shao has had no children for many years, and she is Xiao Zhang."

"Ms. Zhang gave birth to a son to the second master not long after entering the house. Because she was the niece of Mrs. Uncle's family and was favored by the second master, she became arrogant and domineering, bullying my young wife everywhere. Finally, the young lady became pregnant again. The Zhang family is getting worse and worse. The second master is also a master who spoils his concubine and kills his wife. My young wife is suffering, and the fetal image has been unstable. It was the old slave who persuaded the young lady to relax and put her mind on the unborn child. On the child. When the child was about to be delivered, we invited Mrs. Wen to come into the mansion. Both women said that Madam’s pregnancy was relatively stable and nothing would happen. They were escorted by Dr. Tan. Who knows, who knows what happened? Son. The second young lady's stomach is the son of the Zhao family's first son!"

Wei Zhao frowned, and unconsciously clenched his hands into fists.The more I listened, the more I felt that what Nanny Lin said was exactly the same as what my elder sister had suffered.

He asked: "Did your wife have any accidents before giving birth? For example, accidentally fell down, or swallowed something by mistake?"

Nanny Lin thought about it carefully, then shook her head: "Although my Lin family is not as powerful as the rich and powerful in Beijing, it is still a big family in Zizhou. The servants around the young lady are all loyal servants who came over from Zizhou as a dowry. There are many people in the house. The old slave is cautious everywhere, and the young lady is doing everything as usual."

Mother Lin saw that he seemed to be more concerned about the young lady's bloody death. Although she didn't know why, she still told the truth: "My Miss Six suspects that the second young lady was poisoned. It's just that she was framed by Mrs. Zhang before any evidence was found. Abducted out of the capital. The old slave found out in time, and then snatched Miss Six back. Right now, my master and servant have nowhere to go, and I am being hunted down by Mrs. Zhang. I really have nowhere to go, so I have no choice but to find Lord Shang Wei. I implore Wei My lord, seek justice for my young wife."

Wei Zhao frowned: "If you say that Mrs. Zhang abducted and sold the Sixth Miss of your mansion, and Miss Six is ​​the victim, if you file a complaint, the government will accept it. But you said that Mrs. Zhao was poisoned, there is neither evidence nor evidence. Physical evidence. The Kangningbo mansion is also a noble family, so how can I file the case based on one side of the story."

Mother Lin gritted her teeth, and said, "Miss Six overheard what those people said. They had an ancient prescription that could cause bleeding symptoms during childbirth, but they couldn't find out afterwards. The ancient prescription was from the Zhao family in Zizhou. The side branch is dedicated to Mrs. Zhang. They are testing the prescription with the Second Young Madam."

Wei Zhao's eyebrows twitched sharply, and he could not help clenching his fists: "Who is that man?"

Mother Lin said: "Zhao Tong." She thought for a while, and then said: "Miss Six went to the downtown area yesterday to inquire about news, and saw Young Master Wei of your house posting a portrait in the downtown area. Miss Six recognized the person in the portrait as Zhao same."

Wei Zhao was stunned.

"Did you read that right?"

Nanny Lin said bitterly: "The portrait has five points, but Zhao Tong has a mole under his lip, and the person in the painting also has it. Moreover, Zhao Tong and my Lin family in Zizhou also had some festivals. When Zhao Tong was in his hometown in Zizhou, Zhao Tong Thinking about marrying my Miss Lin's concubine. The master did not agree with this marriage, so he made people publicize that the lady is not a woman. The master was forced to have no choice but to marry the lady far away in a hurry."

"The master couldn't swallow this breath, so he suppressed his family's business. Zhao Tongben was not good at running the business, and lost all his family property. I heard that he had a good relationship with the fourth son of the Wu family, and the fourth son of the Wu family lent him money, and he was completely defeated. Years later, this person came to the uncle's house, but in just one month, he was reused by the little Zhang family, and he was always in trouble with my second young lady."

"Young Master Wu?" Wei Zhao pulled out Wu Li's portrait and pointed it to Nanny Lin: "But this one?"

Nanny Lin came from Zizhou as a dowry with Mrs. Lin.The Wu family is a rising star in Zizhou. Master Lin loves to make friends and often entertains guests at his house.Although Nanny Lin is in the back house, she still meets occasionally.

She looked at it carefully, and said: "The old slave has been with the young lady to the capital for ten years, and occasionally went back to Zizhou to visit his relatives. Although he has never seen Mr. Wu Si again, but the person in the portrait vaguely remembers him. A little, roughly similar in outline."

Wei Zhao lowered his eyes, thoughtful.

"After the incident, how did Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Wang and Dr. Tan deal with it?"

Sister Lin said: "Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang were detained by Mrs. Uncle on the charge of murdering a pregnant woman, and they are now desperate. Dr. Tan is the doctor in charge of Tongjitang, and the uncle's mansion sent someone to ask for an explanation. Tongjitang dare not offend Uncle The government, not to mention ruining Dr. Tan's reputation because of his fault, I'm afraid they will hand over Dr. Tan to settle the matter."

Wei Zhao lowered his eyebrows and was speechless for a moment.

Seeing that he was silent for a while, Mother Lin could not help but tighten her clothes tightly.

After a long time, Wei Zhao looked up at her: "Where do you and Miss Zhao Liu live now?"

"It's in Tongluo Lane in the east of the city."

Wei Zhaodao: "It's all poor families with a lot of people living there. How about this, I'll send my confidant to go back with you to pick up the people. Before the case is settled, you and Miss Zhao Liu will live in the place I arranged first, that's fine." Feel free to ask anytime.”

Mother Lin asked blankly: "Is Master Wei going to take this case?"

Wei Zhao looked at her: "If I don't take this case, why should I arrange you two, master and servant, do I look like you have been taken advantage of?"

Nanny Lin was at a loss for words.

Wei Zhao said: "Since you have found me, I might as well tell you that this case may not be as simple as it appears on the surface. You'd better keep an eye on Miss Six of your family. I don't want someone to disrupt my plan by acting without permission."

Nanny Lin hurriedly kowtowed: "Master Wei is willing to take this case, my master and servant are grateful, and will not dare to cause trouble to Mr. Wei."

Wei Zhao called out to the yamen servant who was guarding the door: "Go to Xiaolou and come in. I have something to order."

Wei Zhao asked Xiaolou to send him to Qiaoli in the east of the city, and then hired a car to find Cao Ying in the west of the city.Let him find a few clever people to investigate Miss Zhao Liu's abduction.Since the Zhao family was involved, there had to be a breakthrough.

He also sent two steady women to the west of the city to inquire about Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Wang, while he wandered to Tongji Hall.

Tongjitang and Jirentang are two major medical families in Shengjing.Earlier, Old Doctor Lin was sitting in Ji Ren Tang. When Changsun Ke was seriously injured, the Hou Mansion invited Old Doctor Lin to enter the mansion. Old Doctor Lin took advantage of the excuse that he was old, so he terminated the contract with Ji Ren Tang and concentrated on working in the Hou Mansion. A government doctor.Of course, Wei Zhao just gave him some medical books.Anyway, old doctor Lin thinks it's not a loss.

Dr. Tan is the in-charge doctor of Tongjitang Chengxi Branch. He is good at women's diseases.Although he didn't know about these medical families, but occasionally chatting with old doctor Lin, he also knew that Tongjitang and Jirentang were fiercely competitive.And Tongjitang is better at women's diseases, and the wives of all families are willing to give Tongjitang a little bit of face, and Dr. Tan is one of the best.

With this in mind, Wei Zhao went to Tongjitang to invite Dr. Tan, and to find out what Tongjitang said.
