Chapter 170 One Step

"Self-examination!" Shen Zhan glanced around, looking at Si Sanbao, "There are not many people here, so it's easy to check who came and who left."

Si Sanbao nodded. If he found the murderer, he would be cleared up. He slapped his head and said, "Look, I'm so anxious and confused."

After saying that, he turned around and ordered to go down, and blocked the Yamen Gate of Dongchang.

Shen Zhan stood in front of those two people and checked it carefully. Eunuch Otian stammered, "Master Hou, people...how did people die."

"Poison." Shen Zhan glanced at Eunuch Xiaotian, "There is still some blood on the lapel, which was force-fed."

Eunuch Otian's expression changed drastically, "Why is this happening? The keys to these six rooms are all in the hands of the servants."

"Let me see the key." After Shen Zhan finished speaking, Eunuch Oda handed over the key, he checked it once, nodded and said, "Only you have the key?"

Eunuch Xiaotian shook his head, "There are three sets of keys for each room, one for this servant, one for Xiao Mingzi, and one for Eunuch Li."

Shen Zhan nodded and sat down on the only chair in the room.

The other party said that he was collaborating with the enemy and treason, who did he tell?Su Wanru or Nurhachi?

What evidence will there be?Su Wanru's identity has been proven earlier, if she wants to bring up the old story again, it is impossible to win the trust of anyone with just a few memorials, and this matter will inevitably be a verbal dispute, which is not very meaningful.

What evidence will there be, and what will the other party do next?
Shen Zhan sat quietly for about half an hour. Si Sanbao hurried in and said to Shen Zhan, "Master, the man has been found."

"En." Shen Zhan looked up at Si Sanbao and asked, "Dead?"

Si Sanbao nodded, "It's Da Mingzi, but the miscellaneous family finds it strange that he has been following the slaves since Yingtian, and has always been loyal, how could..."

Si Sanbao couldn't believe that a subordinate he trusted would betray him.

"These six people." Shen Zhan pointed to the people who fell on the beam, "Did you gain anything from your investigation this time?"

Si Sanbao shook his head. Apart from being in touch with each other, he really didn't. He fabricated many of the crimes. Firstly, he did it for meritorious service. Secondly, he believed in his intuition.

"You mean, when they are free, they are loyal ministers and good generals, and they will only show up when they are needed?"

Shen Zhan nodded, knocked on the table, and said, "Let's check the origin of this Eunuch Ming first."

"The miscellaneous family has been checked by someone, but how should the Holy Majesty reply?" Si Sanbao replied.

Shen Zhan was silent for a while, and said: "Report truthfully, please send a coroner to do the autopsy. Remember, you are acting under the emperor's order, not on your own." He stood up and glanced at these people, "After finishing this, You can pick yourself out."

Si Sanbao's heart skipped a beat, and he asked, "Then... what about you, Lord Marquis?"

"Didn't you say they were going to accuse me of collaborating with the enemy and treason? This is just the beginning." He walked out the door as he spoke, "You don't have to hide it, you just do what you have to do."

Si Sanbao ordered Eunuch Xiaotian to put down all the corpses, and then followed Shen Zhan to send him out, "Master Hou, if you need anything to do, just ask the miscellaneous family to do their best."

"Thank you." Shen Zhan nodded slightly, looked at Si Sanbao, and said, "We have to wait for the opportunity to go to the palace. You send someone to watch King Ning. If he enters the palace, you go."

Si Sanbao's heart turned and his face changed slightly. Did he miss a lot of things?
How do you feel, what kind of whirlpool you are in?

In the prince's mansion, Zhao Zhiting sat in front of the prince's bed with King Ning. He had just taken the medicine, but the prince's face was still ugly, and his breathing was weak with his eyes closed. If he didn't know that he was still alive, he might have thought he was a dead person at first sight.

"Thank you Uncle Ten." Zhao Zhiting wiped away his tears and sighed, "It's just that the murderer hasn't been found so far. I really feel ashamed of my father."

King Ning was wearing a sky-blue straight gown, with picturesque eyes, but his complexion didn't look good, he looked very tired, "Don't think too much, the most important thing now is for the prince to wake up, as long as he wakes up, everything else will be fine." Easy to say."

Zhao Zhiting nodded, thinking that it was best for him to see the truth in times of crisis, Uncle Ning.

"I haven't gone to the palace yet." King Ning got up, and his voice was very soft, revealing the elder's love, "I'll pay my respects to the Holy Majesty first, and then I'll go back and wash up. If you have something to do here, please send someone to tell me. Just come back tomorrow."

"Uncle Wang doesn't need to be like this. You have been driving for several days and found good medicine for your father. It is also very hard." Zhao Zhiting said: "You should rest well, I don't have any serious problems here for the time being."

King Ning nodded, and was accompanied by Zhao Zhiting to go out. As soon as he reached the door, he met Shen Zhan who came in. The two of them were stunned. Shen Zhan had already stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "My lord, Your Highness."

"Marquis of Zhennan." King Ning looked at Shen Zhan and nodded, "I'm going to the palace, you talk to Zhiting."

Shen Zhan glanced at King Ning, he was no different from before, his face was still pleasant, even there was no hatred or hostility in his eyes.

He nodded slightly, and King Ning had already passed him by, and got into the sedan chair outside the door.

"Uncle Shen," Zhao Zhiting's eyes turned red, "Why haven't you come here these days?"

Shen Zhan walked in side by side with him, and said as he walked: "The situation is not clear, I can't help you, but will cause trouble for you, so I waited for two days and sent people to inquire about the prince's situation."

"It hasn't improved yet." Zhao Zhiting's eyes were red, "The medicine Uncle Ning found has just been given to my father, so I don't know if it's good or bad."

Shen Zhan nodded, and asked casually: "Which genius doctor took his medicine, the medicine is here."

"What's wrong?" Zhao Zhiting asked in confusion.

Shen Zhan said calmly: "I also met a miracle doctor in the early years, I don't know if I met the same person as Prince Ning."

"Here is the prescription." Zhao Zhiting said, when he entered the room, he took the prescription and handed it to Shen Zhan.

Shen Zhan took it and glanced at it, then returned it to Zhao Zhiting, with disappointment in his eyes, "It's not the same person, the handwriting is different."

It was Lu Shi's notes, which Shen Zhan recognized.

It seems that Zhao Yan's poison was also cured by Lu Shi...

Where did Xiao Hanqing and Lu Shi go?

Also came to the capital?

King Ning's sedan chair left the door of the Prince's Mansion, he knocked on the sedan door suddenly, and said, "Go to the front alley and stop for a while, I'll go eat something first."

"Yes!" The bearer should be, the sedan chair turned an alley, and stopped in front of a Huaiyang restaurant on the street. King Ning went in and sat by the window alone, ordered a few dishes, chewed slowly After eating a meal and drinking a pot of tea, he paid and left the door.

At this time, it was just dinner time, and there were many people coming and going at the door. As soon as he arrived at the door, suddenly a woman led three children, rushed over from the crowd, and knelt down in front of him, "My wife, the king!" Mrs. Liu, please meet Prince Ning and ask him to make the decision for our master." The woman blocked Zhao Yan's way with three children.

King Ning frowned, and stood still with a good temper.

People walking around immediately gathered around to watch the commotion, pointing and guessing the reason.

"Bold." King Ning didn't bring Zha Rongsheng with him when he went out today, and he didn't even bring a regular attendant, so it was the bearer who spoke, "Who are you, how dare you block our prince's way."

Wang Liu took the child and kowtowed together, and took out a framed memorial from his bosom, and held it in his hand, "My wife, Wang Liu, is the first wife of Wang Zhao, the fourth-rank general counselor, my master Three days ago, I was taken away by Dongchang Si Sanbao's people. Without any discernment or crime, they tortured me severely, causing my master to die in prison. I beg the prince to make decisions for his wife, even if my master really committed a crime, But the crime does not warrant death, even if it is a capital crime, it will be interrogated three times, the seal of the emperor will be sealed, and the confession will be made in public outside the Meridian Gate.

As soon as she finished her words, there were sighs all around, and someone kindly reminded: "You should go to the Ministry of Punishment and Mr. Xu to stop this matter. It's useless for you to stop the prince, and the prince doesn't care about these things."

Everyone in Yanjing knows that Prince Ning is an idle prince, otherwise why would he go to teach at a women's school.

"But those people are all avoiding them." Wang Liu replied: "The minister's wife has no other way out, and only then did she realize that people in Beijing have always said that Prince Ning is the most upright and just person, so the minister's wife came to beg the prince."

"My lord, my wife begs you."

Everyone sighed, and some people didn't know the truth, and cursed: "So Si Sanbao is such a person. Dongchang is not an imperial government office. Why do they arrest people and kill people? There is no law."

"Everyone is quiet." Ning Wang waved his hand slightly, looked down at Wang Liushi, and asked softly, "What do you need me for?"

Wang Liushi's eyes lit up, and she replied: "The lady does not want to embarrass you, the lady asks you to submit this memorandum to the Holy Majesty in person, and the Holy Majesty is in charge of everything."

"It's easy to say, right and wrong can be judged by the sage and the yamen." King Ning took the memorial, "However, apart from submitting the memorial, this king will not say anything else for you."

Wang Liushi kowtowed, very excited, "This is enough, thank you, my lord, thank you very much, my lord."

King Ning nodded slightly, got into the sedan chair on one side, and walked away amidst the praises.

The sedan chair stopped outside the palace gate, King Ning entered the palace, Zhao Zhiang sized him up and asked, "Have you visited the prince, and I heard that you have found a good medicine for him?"

"Yes, on the way back, I heard that there was a famous doctor living in Hejian Mansion. I decided to visit him temporarily. I wanted to invite him to Beijing, but I didn't expect him to disappear after leaving a prescription. I was afraid of delaying time. , I left someone to look for it, and rushed back to the capital by myself.”

"You have the heart and the crown prince will be happy when he finds out." Zhao Zhiang was indeed very happy. No father would like to see his children not in harmony. "Thanks for your hard work."

King Ning cupped his hands and said: "This is what I should do." He also said: "As long as the father and the crown prince are in good health, I am willing to lose ten years of life."

"Sit down." Zhao Zhiang told him to sit down, and was about to speak, but Eunuch Shui went straight into the door without replying, and said happily, "Your Majesty, just now people from the Prince's residence came to report that His Highness had opened his eyes and woke up." .”

"Really!" Zhao Zhiang was overjoyed, "Quickly let the imperial doctor go and have a look."

Eunuch Shui immediately replied: "The Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager have already brought the imperial physician with them."

"That's fine, you follow along to have a look, and come back and tell me immediately if you have any news." Zhao Zhiang was in a good mood.

Eunuch Shui took the order and left.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the crown prince will surely turn evil into good fortune, and be safe and sound." Duke Du said fairly.

Zhao Zhiang nodded and looked at King Ning happily, "He didn't wake up after taking so many medicines, but he woke up after feeding your medicine. You are a great hero."

"Father's words are serious." Ning Wang got up and saluted, still as usual, with a calm and breezy look.

Zhao Zhiang nodded slightly, very satisfied.

"Father." King Ning paused, and took out a memorial, "I was stopped by someone on the road when I came, and it was the wife of Wang Zhao, the counselor, who stopped me. , I begged my son to submit it to you, but my son couldn't say no to refuse, so I accepted the memorial without authorization."

As he spoke, he handed the memorial to Eunuch Du, "I don't know what is said in the memorial. I just feel that a woman with three children is crying miserably, and I feel compassion."

"Wang Zhao? Wang Zhao from Huaiqing?" Zhao Zhiang recalled that this person seemed to be taken to the East Factory by Si Sanbao. He was about to read the memorial when someone outside called Mr. Du. Mr. Du came in after going out for a while , replied: "The company is asking to see you."

"Let him come in." Zhao Zhiang glanced casually and put it by his hand: "I'll watch it later, my eyes hurt a little right now."

King Ning should be, and didn't say much.

"My maidservant kowtows to the Holy One." Si Sanbao saluted, and Zhao Zhiang asked, "What's the matter here at this time?"

Si Sanbao just glanced at King Ning, and replied after a moment of silence: "Slave, please report something to the Holy Majesty."

This means to avoid King Ning.

"My son will retire now." Ning Wang said: "Go to the Prince's residence to have a look."

Zhao Zhiang nodded happily, and said, "You go, I'll go and have a look later when I'm done with the matter in hand."

King Ning should have gone out.

As soon as he left, Si Sanbao told Zhao Zhi'ang everything that happened today, "... this servant has some contacts with the Marquis of Zhennan, and now those six adults suddenly accused him of collaborating with the enemy and treason. Favor. But I didn't expect that when I went back, the six adults in the prison were already dead, poisoned to death."

"Poisoned to death?" Zhao Zhiang frowned, suddenly remembered something, opened the memorabilia at hand, read it carefully, the more he looked, the colder his eyes became, Si Sanbao didn't know why Zhao Zhiang did this, so he could only kneel and wait.

After a while, Zhao Zhiang suddenly asked: "You have been interrogated for two days, but they all recruited?"

"No." Si Sanbao replied: "Your Majesty, this slave please ask Your Majesty to send someone to do an autopsy. Also, the corpse of Daming Zi who committed suicide by taking poison has not been touched in the room."

Zhao Zhiang threw the memorial on Si Sanbao's lap, "Ms. Wang Liu begged for the memorial from King Ning, please take a look."

Si Sanbao hurriedly opened the memorial, and saw that there were more than a dozen crimes listed in it.

First, Shen Zhan used to be a princess-like follower in the palace of the Later Song Dynasty, and was deeply loved by the princess. Shen Zhan voted for the Zhou army in order to be a spy. During the First World War in Xuzhou, he obviously could have snatched the rations of the Later Song Army, but he never acted, obviously because he was afraid that the Later Song Army would run out of food and grass.

Columns one, two, three and four are extremely detailed, and Si Sanbao is in a cold sweat looking at them.

Si Sanbao looked at the memorial, and said in it that he fabricated evidence and harmed Zhongliang. It was because the six of them were ex-officials who knew that he secretly colluded with Nurhachi in order to help the later Song Dynasty. Kill people.

"Holy... Your Majesty, this is impossible, right?" Si Sanbao wiped his sweat.

　I feel a little uncomfortable, just treat it as a day off, I'll go to sleep for a while!mwah!
