White Hedge Dream

Chapter 103 Hearing

It was dusk after returning from the quiet mountain forest and driving into the capital.

The street market is still bustling.

People were coming and going, cars and horses were passing by, and there was the sound of hawking.

Even the hall of Zhangjia Medical Clinic was crowded with people asking for medicine.

"The young lady is here."

As soon as Zhou Jingyun's car stopped outside the hospital, the boy told Zhang Shilin, and Zhang Shilin personally greeted him from inside.

"I was about to tell the young lady some good news."

Zhang Shilin said with a smile, looking at Zhuang Li who was being helped out of the car by Zhou Jingyun, he noticed their expressions and his voice stopped.

Although Zhou Shizi's face looked calm, his brows were slightly furrowed. Zhuang Li was fine, but his face was a little pale.

"What's wrong, young lady?" he asked.

Zhou Jingyun said: "She felt a little uncomfortable when she went hiking today."

Zhuang Li wanted to say it was okay, but he didn't want to let down Zhou Jingyun's concern, so he nodded and said, "I'm a little uneasy, so I came here to ask you to check my pulse."

Doctors don't treat themselves, and Zhang Shilin stopped joking with her. He invited the two of them into the inner hall, sat down and carefully diagnosed Zhuang Li's pulse, checked again, and asked about his recent daily routine.

"I think the young lady is fine. It's because her vitality was severely damaged earlier." Zhang Shilin said, "I can only take care of her slowly."

Zhuang Li smiled and nodded, then asked, "Is it okay to go out?"

Zhang Shilin understood what Zhuang Li meant. It was obvious that Zhou Shizi wanted to please his young wife and take him out to climb the mountain to enjoy plum blossoms. Unexpectedly, his young wife fell ill and felt uncomfortable, so he must be blaming himself and regretting it.

He glanced at Zhou Jingyun, not bad, not bad, good, good, good. The husband and wife understand each other and love each other. Only when you think of me and I think of you can it last forever.

"It won't affect you." He said with a smile, "It's better to go out for a walk more often. Madam, please pay attention to your daily routine. Don't get too distracted and don't think too much."

Don't get upset or think too much. Although Zhang Shilin didn't know what her illness was and the real cause, he still pointed out the key.

Zhuang Li responded with a smile.

Zhang Shilin wrote a prescription and asked his apprentice to take the medicine.

Zhou Jingyun asked from the side: "Doctor Zhang, what good news did you want to tell us just now?"

He still remembered Zhang Shilin's words when he first got off the car, but he didn't answer the words at that time because he was worried about Zhuang Li.

Zhang Shilin smiled and said, "Master Lin just asked his servant to say that Mrs. Lin is awake and has not fallen asleep since she woke up the night before."

Zhuang Li hurriedly congratulated: "Doctor Zhang's medicine has cured the disease."

Zhang Shilin said: "Young madam, it must be your incense that takes effect."

Zhuang Li smiled: "Then we share the same joy."

Zhang Shilin laughed. Because Zhuang Li was feeling unwell, he didn't keep them longer. He took the medicine and delivered it himself. As soon as he walked out of the door, he saw a carriage stop, and Mr. Lin helped Mrs. Lin get out.

"Young Madam." Manager Lin said in surprise, "What a coincidence."

"Why did Mrs. Lin come out?" Zhuang Li asked.

Mrs. Lin's face was still a little pale, and her smile was a little weak, but her eyes became brighter: "I feel much better, and I want to tell Dr. Zhang in person, thank you, Dr. Zhang."

Zhang Shilin smiled and twisted his beard: "Mrs. Lin, there is no need to be polite. This is what I should do."

Mrs. Lin looked at Zhuang Li again and held her hand: "I also want to thank you, Madam. Lang Jun and I originally wanted to visit the Crown Prince and you, but we didn't expect to meet him here first."

Zhuang Li said with a smile: "My incense is just an introduction to the medicine, not worth mentioning. The important thing is the medicine."

Mrs. Lin said: "Although I'm awake, I still have some physical reactions that I want to ask the young lady..." She said and approached Zhuang Li's ear.

Things between women are sometimes only suitable for women to listen to. The people next to them understood, smiled, turned away and continued talking.

"...The evil thief is dead." Mrs. Lin took the opportunity to speak quickly into Zhuang Li's ear, her voice filled with excitement, nervousness and fear, but more of joy.

She kept this matter a secret, and only Mrs. Dongyang Hou knew it. When she heard the news that Zhu Shan was dead, she couldn't help but share it.

Just saying this is enough. Saying too much will only cause trouble, so he stood up straight.

"...Do you think I need to use your fragrance to treat myself in the future?"

Zhuang Li smiled and shook his head: "No, if you feel any discomfort, just ask the doctor to diagnose and prescribe medicine. If I use this incense too much, it won't be good. Mrs. Lin doesn't want to be unable to sleep in the future."

Although it was a dream weaved for Mrs. Lin at the time, Mrs. Lin did not remember this dream.

This lady has been tortured so much that if she ever had a dream about killing her enemy with her own hands, even the dream would frighten her after she wakes up and make her restless every day.

From now on, Zhu Shan should never appear again, whether in reality or in dreams.

Zhuang Li smiled and shook Mrs. Lin's hand vigorously, expressing his excitement and joy with her and giving his blessing.

"Madam, from now on the sun will rise and the sun will set, and you will sleep soundly every night until dawn."

Manager Lin next to him heard this. Being unable to sleep or wake up was not a good thing. He was still frightened and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it's best this way."

It turned out that he was consulting about the medicine Yinzixiang. Zhang Shilin also said with a smile: "It is a medicine that contains three parts of poison. No matter how good it is, it cannot be used indiscriminately."

Mrs. Lin responded with a smile, looked at Zhuang Li and said nothing.

"I happened to meet the young lady today, and I also brought a thank you gift—" Manager Lin said, turning around to go to the car to get it.

Zhou Jingyun said hurriedly: "You're welcome—"

At this moment, the sound of horse hooves and shouts could be heard on the bustling market street. The cries of sellers disappeared, and the people coming and going immediately moved to both sides. Many people wanted to stand against the wall.

A group of warriors appeared in sight.

It's Zhang Ze.

People in the medical center also stopped moving, and the atmosphere was slightly tense, watching Zhang Ze slowly pass by surrounded by military guards and officials from the Board of Supervisors.

Zhang Ze's face was not good. He heard that one of his subordinates had hanged himself. However, when passing by the medical center, Zhang Ze caught a glimpse of Zhou Jingyun, who stood out among the crowd, and reined in his horse.

"Your Majesty." He said with a smile.

Zhou Jingyun nodded: "Zhang Zhongcheng."

Zhang Ze went over without saying hello. He changed his principle of rarely staying in the busy city and glanced at the group of people standing at the door of the medical clinic.

Zhuang Li had already stood beside Zhou Jingyun. When Zhang Ze looked over, he lowered his head and curtsied.

Zhang Zhe noticed the red cloak, red hood, and white fox fur, which were dazzling and gorgeous. Standing side by side with Zhou Jingyun, he looked even more dazzling. She was naturally Zhou Jingyun's new wife.

He nodded and smiled in return.

He glanced at the plaque on the medical clinic and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

Zhou Jingyun said with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay. Thank you Zhongcheng."

Zhang Ze smiled and his eyes fell on Mr. Lin, with a somewhat scrutinizing look on his face.

"Master Lin," he said.

Chief Lin's official position was not high, but he did not panic when Zhang Ze called out his name at a glance. Everyone knew that the Board of Supervisors was staring at every official in the court.

He was calm and fearless, and gave Zhang Ze a polite but distant salute: "Zhang Zhongcheng."

Then he saw Zhang Ze's eyes looking past him and falling on his wife behind him, with a strange look on his face.

Manager Lin couldn't help but turn around and saw Mrs. Lin's face was pale and her body was trembling slightly -

Alas, who is not afraid of Zhang Ze? This mad dog-like guy may bite you at any time.

What's more, my wife has been worried that since she was an official from the period when Empress Chiang led the election, she will be recognized as a Party member of Empress Chiang by the Board of Supervisors.

He is not afraid.

If you want to catch it, catch it.

Let's see if the Board of Supervisors wants to arrest all the officials in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Director Lin met Zhang Ze's gaze and supported his wife: "Are you okay?" Then he said to Zhang Ze, "Let's come and see a doctor."

Zhang Ze could tell that the woman was about to faint.

Of course, he knew that the woman was not passing out because she was sick.

One of the dozen women captured by Zhu Shan was Mrs. Lin.

If this matter is exposed, Mrs. Lin's illness will no longer be treated and there will be no way to survive.

Zhang Ze glanced at Mr. Lin, who looked fearless, and thought with a bit of evil, what would this guy's expression be like if he really wanted to expose this matter?

But, that’s all.

He still had a lot to do and had no interest in wasting it on this poor couple.

"Really?" Zhang Ze said, pointing to Zhuang Li, "Mrs. Dongyang Hou is also a powerful doctor. You can ask her to take a look."

Zhang Ze also knew that Mrs. Marquis Dongyang was good at medicine. Chief Lin thought to himself, the Board of Supervisors is really watching everything.

"Thank you, Zhongcheng." He said, "I have asked the young lady for consultation. My wife's condition has also improved. I am here to express my thanks today."

He said and shook the gift box he took from the car.

So that's it. Zhang Ze said nothing and stopped talking to Director Lin. He smiled at Zhou Jingyun and said, "Young lady is going to become a famous doctor in the capital."

Zhou Jingyun said with a smile: "It's just a prescription. The real cure is Dr. Zhang."

Zhang Ze smiled and did not stay any longer, said goodbye to Zhou Jingyun, and rushed away with his troops.

The street became lively again, with many eyes looking this way, and noisy voices sounded, "It's the Crown Prince of Dongyang." "Ah, Crown Prince Zhou." "It's so beautiful." "Is that his new wife?"

Seeing that more and more eyes were gathering, Zhou Jingyun didn't stay any longer. He said goodbye to Mr. Lin, his wife and Zhang Shilin, helped Zhuang Li get into the car, and drove away from the market.

…

…

Returning to the Board of Supervisors, Zhang Ze sat down and looked around at the original eight men standing in the room, but now there were only seven left.

"Tell me what you gained." He said coldly.

The seven bosses look at each other and talk to each other no matter what.

"On the night of Zhu Shan's accident, there was indeed nothing unusual about his location."

"The body was inspected inside and out. It was indeed true that he had strangled himself to death."

"Maybe he accidentally pulled down the bed curtain and wrapped it around his neck when he was sleeping at night. He wanted to pull it open, but ended up sleeping in confusion. He pulled it tighter and tighter, and he..."

When he heard this, Zhang Ze looked at the speaker. The speaker probably felt that what he said was a bit ridiculous, so he lowered his head and did not dare to say any more.

"Say, that's quite good." Zhang Ze said with a half-smile, "Others want you to think so. You really live up to the murderer's expectations."

The boss trembled slightly and knelt down: "This subordinate is stupid."

Zhang Ze didn't say anything, nor did he let him get up.

The atmosphere in the room was tense.

Another headmaster stepped forward and broke the stalemate: "Zhongcheng, I think the boy named Wang who came to the Holy Ancestor Temple last time is a novice. He can't see anything with the whisk bell. He only knows how to show off, eat and drink. He is quite proficient in prostitution and gambling, so let’s invite Xuan Yangzi to come and take a look.”

Zhang Ze shook his head.

"There is no need to invite Xuanyangzi again. If he doesn't come, the answer will be given. Zhu Shan's death has nothing to do with Empress Chiang's ghost." He said.

He also doesn't believe that ghosts can kill people. "

Zhu Shan's death must have been caused by someone else.
