Chapter 289
After Zhou Mei entered, Lu looked at Zhao Chengyin and said, "Master, how should we deal with this?"

"The concubine is right. The Lin family is the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River. This is a huge piece of fat. If the emperor really has the heart, it will be enough to fill the treasury for nearly ten years. If this matter is really related to Concubine Rong Xian, we can only I can forget it."

"Forget it? But if it gets out, the master's official authority will definitely be damaged."

"Mother, didn't the princess say that, she won't let it go." Wei Mingzhu smiled and stepped forward to comfort him: "And my wife believes that since the princess said that, she must have a plan in her heart. Don't worry."

"Mother is not worried, but if the matter is really related to Concubine Rong Xian, then it is mysterious again. Although your father is not at home most of the time, he is very motivated to investigate and punish corrupt officials. This incident made Longyan furious, dismissing from office is a trivial matter, if..."

"Absolutely not, the concubine is on our side. As long as we do nothing wrong and don't make mistakes, the empress will be able to stand up, and the prince will help me a little."

In the room, looking at the horrible Zhao Chengfei, Zhou Mei didn't take pleasure in other people's misfortunes, but she didn't feel regretful either, as if she was just looking at another stranger.

And those three imperial physicians, and a familiar face, who else could it be if it wasn't Shen Lian.

"Doctor Shen, I always feel that I can see you."

Shen Lian clasped her fists and said with a smile: "I made the concubine laugh, it's because the officials are too leisurely, and they have time to go out of the palace to make rounds at any time."

"How's the situation?"

"No, the third master's lumbar spine is broken, and it is a blessing in misfortune to be able to survive. There is nothing we can do about this situation. Can the princess have a solution?"

Zhou Mei stepped forward to check it out, but the chest, back, and back were all in tatters, and some of the flesh had been rolled up. Obviously, it should have been scratched by a rough object, and there was also a very spectacular wound on the inner thigh. There is a white gauze wrapped around her head, and there is still a faint pink blood oozing out, and there are many fine wounds on her face, which may leave scars. There are already pockmarks, and now it is even more difficult to see.

And she also carefully checked Zhao Chengfei's lumbar vertebrae, it was indeed broken, but what she suspected was that if she simply rolled down the mountain, how could the lumbar vertebrae be broken? It can only be the spine, and the lumbar spine should still be unlikely, so it is absolutely impossible to be so simple behind this matter.

"I can't either. After all, it hurts the lumbar spine. It can't be seen unless the skin is cut open. But in that case, people will definitely die. It's better to just leave it like this."

Shen Lian is very skilled in medicine, especially this kind of difficult and miscellaneous diseases is his appetite. When he first came yesterday, after checking, he knew that the third master of the Hou Mansion would probably lie here for the rest of his life. Now Even if Zhou Mei said so, she didn't find it strange. After all, this kind of disease is really incurable, and it's not a fairy. Just blowing a breath can restore the bones in your flesh.

"Physician Shen, I'm just taking a look. If that's the case, then I'll trouble a few imperial physicians."

After speaking, she went to the copper basin next to her to clean her hands, and then walked out.

"Wangfei, is there a way?" Zhao Ruolan stepped forward and asked.

Just seeing Zhou Mei shaking her head, she almost fainted, and it was the girl next to her who helped her to stand still.

"Zhao Chengfei's lumbar spine has been completely shattered and broken. If it's just a misalignment, it's okay to say. I suspect that things are not as simple as what the servant said. There must be heavy objects crushing on his waist to cause this situation."

"Crushed by heavy objects?" This sentence made everyone present turn pale.

Although the people present had different thoughts, they felt cold sweat all over their bodies when they thought of the scene Zhou Mei said.

"Yes, the bones are already broken. Even if there really is a miracle doctor who can cut open the stomach, there is nothing he can do. Now he can only lie on the couch for the rest of his life."

After saying this, Zhao Ruolan couldn't take it anymore, and passed out directly.

Wei Mingzhu hurriedly asked the two women to send her to Baoxia to lie down.

She walked slowly to an empty chair and sat down, and said to Zhao Chengyin: "Uncle, about this matter, we should find those servants and ask them carefully several times."

"Indeed." After finishing speaking, he asked the steward beside him to call the four servants who accompanied him that day.

Since Zhao Chengfei's accident, Zhao Chengyin sent people to lock up those boys. He didn't have to go out from the Mid-Autumn Festival to next year, so he wanted to stay with his wife in the mansion, and by the way, when the weather was getting colder. I went to Zhuangzi in the south of the Yangtze River to live for a while, and the dowry left by Xuan Jingyue had been given to his younger sister when he accepted the title, which was nearly 30 taels, but his sister gave him two Zhuangzi and nearly [-] taels. Half of the silver is considered to be divided equally. One of Zhuangzi is in Jiangnan and the other is in Jiangbei.

Who would have thought that such a thing would happen within a few days of leisure, it really makes people unable to relax for a moment.

After the four servants were brought in, they immediately knelt down on the ground.

Zhao Chengyin looked at them, and asked with a cold face: "Re-tell me what happened that day again, and you must not miss anything. If you are found out by the Marquis, you have concealed everything, and you will hand over everything to the government."

The facial features of the four people trembled immediately, and they looked at each other, with a twinkle in their eyes.

"Tell me, what are you looking at?" Zhao Chengyin slapped the table hard, making a loud noise.

The four young masters below were frightened, and then they pursed their lips and wanted to cry. Aunt Guo saw it, and hurriedly blessed the God of Fortune at them, and took her son out.

"Hou, Lord Hou, I have explained everything that needs to be explained, young one, without missing a single bit." A seemingly older man replied in a trembling voice.

"Bold and naive, Ben Hou has already asked the imperial physician. The imperial physician said that the third master's lumbar spine was crushed by a heavy object, so that the waist bone was completely shattered. It was definitely not caused by falling off a cliff. Now you guys dare to lie in front of Ben Hou , Do you really think that this Marquis dare not kill you? It’s not good for you to protect the lord, and if you send them to the government, you will die.”

"Master Hou, spare your life, Master Hou, spare your life, the younger one says, the younger one can say anything." One of the handsome servants, who looked relatively younger, hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Tell me carefully, if you dare to conceal the slightest thing, I will never spare your lives."

"Yes, the little one understands, and the little one can explain everything."

After that, he talked about the events of that day in detail.

Besides, Zhao Chengyin, who had not been out of the mansion for many years, suddenly told them that he wanted to live in Ciyun Temple for a while, so he asked a few young men to pack their bags and go out to harness horses, while he sent the steward of the courtyard to meet with Zhao Chengyin. After saying that, Zhao Chengyin also felt that he hadn't gone out for several years, and if he wanted to go to Ciyun Temple, he could relax, so he didn't refuse, and nodded in agreement.
