The reborn prince can't be pushed down

Chapter 96

There was only one destination for Jiang Nian to go out of the palace this time - Fu Mansion.

Fu Yuan still didn't know what happened in the court today, and was a little surprised why Jiang Nian suddenly came to visit him at night.

Jiang Nian stopped him from saluting, and said with a tired tone, "Go to Fu Liao's room and talk, there are some things he should listen to."

Seeing Jiang Nian's solemn expression, Fu Yuan knew that something terrible must have happened today, so he hurriedly led him to Fu Liao's room.

Fu Liao was lying on the bed. Because of his coma for several days, although Mrs. Fu fed him some porridge and tonic soup to keep him alive, he was inevitably emaciated and emaciated.

Seeing Jiang Nian coming, she knew there must be something wrong, so Madam Fu immediately withdrew.

Jiang Nian sat down by the bed, and said slowly, "Today, Ah Zhao's poisonous poison has flared up. I have no choice but to ask An Chen to come and treat her. An Chen introduced the poisonous poison to him , now Ah Zhao's life is not in danger for the time being."

Jiang Nian calmly narrated what happened during the day. At this moment, he was just talking to his old friend, so he didn't use any self-proclaimed words.

Standing aside, Fu Yuan was very surprised after hearing this, "How did An Chen do it?"

He already knew that Ning Yuezhao's illness was caused by Gu poisoning, and he once persuaded her to let An Chen come for diagnosis and treatment.But now I heard that it took only one day, An Chen detoxified Ning Yuezhao's Gu poison, Fu Yuan felt it was like a dream.

Jiang Nian told Fu Yuan exactly what he saw.

"It's unbelievable!" Fu Yuan said in disbelief, "This Gu poison can be cured so easily?"

Jiang Nian shook his head, "It's not a solution, it's transferred to An Chen. Moreover, the process of solving the Gu is quite bloody, so it's not easy."

Fu Yuan twirled his beard and frowned, "Heart-eating Gu worms like to eat human blood. It seems reasonable for An Chen to lure them with blood, but the old man feels that this matter should not be so simple."

He knew nothing about Gu poison and could only judge by his intuition.

Jiang Nian took out the prescription written by An Chen from his sleeve, and handed it to Fu Yuan, "At this time, An Chen prescribed it for Ah Zhao to take care of his body, can you see if there is a problem?"

Fu Yuan took it over, looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "It's just a prescription for invigorating qi and blood, there is no problem."

Jiang Nian received the prescription, and said, "An Chen, in front of all the officials today, diagnosed that Ah Zhao's pregnancy is not one month, but nearly three months."

Fu Yuan opened his eyes wide, and said in disbelief: "It's absolutely impossible! When Weichen checked His Majesty's pulse a few days ago, although her pulse was floating, it was faint, and it was clearly less than a month old. Because the pulse is too weak, So I can't even be sure that His Majesty is pregnant. If it is three months, the pulse condition will be very different, it is impossible to have such a big error!"

Of course he also knew that Jiang Nian was not in the palace at all three months ago. Although there were a lot of rumors and rumors from the outside world at that time, he still believed that Ning Yuezhao would not do such a thing.

How sinister are these rumormongers!

Jiang Nian smiled wryly, they hadn't consummated their marriage three months ago, and Ning Yuezhao was absolutely determined not to be pregnant.

Fu Yuan said: "Tomorrow morning, I will go to the palace again, and I will check His Majesty's pulse again!"

Jiang Nian nodded, and glanced at Fu Liao on the bed, "Uncle Fu, I can't help it. Originally, Fu Liao was like this, and I didn't want to trouble you anymore, but now you are the only one I can trust in the entire Tai Hospital."

Fu Yuan said solemnly: "Since you still call me Uncle Fu, as an elder, it's okay for me to go for my nephew. I think with Fu Liao's temperament, he will agree with me."

Jiang Nian got up and bowed deeply to him without saying a word.

Fu Yuan held his arm and shook his head.

"It's getting late, I should say goodbye." Jiang Nian stood up straight and took one last look at Fu Liao.

Fu Yuan said, "I'll take you out."

Jiang Nian turned to leave, and Fu Yuan escorted him outside the gate.

None of them noticed that Fu Liao, who was lying on the bed, moved his fingers slightly...

When Jiang Nian returned to the palace, it was already mid-moon, but there was a person waiting for him outside the Dragon Hall.

"Your Highness, you're finally back!" The little eunuch on duty outside the hall saw Jiang Nian stepping up the steps, and said happily, "Commander Zuo won't enter the hall no matter what he says, he won't leave unless he waits until you."

Jiang Nian glanced at the solemn Zuo Ming, knowing that he must have heard what happened during the day.

"Go in and talk about something!"

In the main hall, Jiang Nian pushed back the palace people, leaving only him and Zuo Ming in the hall.

"Your Highness, we were wrong about the case of Fu Liao being attacked!" Zuo Ming said, with helplessness in his voice.

Jiang Nian raised his eyebrows to look at him, his face gradually relaxed, "Listen to you, you have already discovered it now, haven't you?"

Zuo Ming nodded, "Do you still remember the murder weapon that Tang Xuefeng found before?"

He spent almost the past few days staying in the government office, looking for the truth about the attack on Fu Liao, and there were a few inconsistencies that almost drove him crazy.Later, he simply overthrew everything, starting from the beginning, and finally he figured it out!

"I previously thought that the real murderer could avoid the guards of Shuntian Mansion officials. He must be in a high position to learn the news. Then the murderer could seriously injure Fu Liao and leave without leaving a trace in a short period of time, so he must be a master. But So there is a contradiction that cannot be explained.”

"What contradiction?"

"You said, since the murderer can step on tiles without a trace, why did he use such a rough weapon as a wooden stick? Would a peerless master really do this? But look at the dagger, it is well-made. This is very unreasonable."

Zuo Ming's words were like enlightenment, Jiang Nian's eyes dimmed, "What did you find?"

"Weichen went to check the situation of several families in the alley, and found that there was something wrong with the family where Fu Liao was killed. The family name was Chen, and it was a family of three. The male master, Chen He, gave the employer a few days ago While driving, a horse ran out of control and hit someone to death. The employer thought that Chen He was driving the horse improperly and ignored the incident. The family members of the deceased chased Chen He for money all day long, claiming 200 taels of silver. If you don't pay within ten days, you will go to the government. But the Chen family is poor and can't afford so much money."

"Then the family suddenly disappeared on the second day after Fu Liao was killed. No one knew where they went. The family of the deceased made a fuss in Shuntian Mansion because Tang Xuefeng was obsessed with Fu Liao's case and accepted the pleadings Since then, I have not been promoted to the court for interrogation, and now I am crying in front of Shuntian Mansion every day!"

"Oh, now I'm afraid Tang Xuefeng won't be able to get promoted even if he wants to."

Thinking of Tang Xuefeng's appearance after being scolded today, Jiang Nian felt that the unhappiness in his chest eased a little.

"Then you show kindness and help them find out the whereabouts of the Chen family?"

Zuo Ming knew what happened in the hall today, Tang Xuefeng did it on his own and deserves no sympathy.He continued: "I did go looking for someone, and I can't say it was out of kindness, but I just felt that something was wrong. I asked the neighbors in the neighborhood, and they said that they heard some muffled noises that night, but it was too cold. , I didn’t get up to check. The next day when the government officials came, they found out that there was a beating.”

Jiang Nian's hands in his sleeves tightened slightly. If someone had come out to take a look at that time, Fu Liao would have been treated earlier, perhaps he wouldn't be in the half-dead state he is now.

Seeing his gloomy expression, Zuo Ming felt uncomfortable thinking about what happened to Fu Liao.He said: "It took me a lot of effort to find Chen He's son in Ping County outside the imperial capital, but both his parents are gone."

Jiang Nian frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

"Dead." Zuo Ming spat out the answer lightly, "Chen He's son admitted that he had nowhere to go to raise money, and Chen He even started working as a watchman at night. He was walking out of the alley when he saw Fu Liaochao. Walking here, seeing Fu Liao's extraordinary clothes, he thought of robbing money."

"Chen He pretended to be fighting and walked out of the alley first. Fu Liao had no doubts. When people entered the alley, he followed him, picked up the wooden stick he had piled up at the door, and hit Fu Liao hard on the back of the head. Fu Liao At that time, he did not faint immediately, but turned around and saw Chen He. Chen He was afraid that he would remember his face. Afraid, he took out the dagger he used to defend himself at night, and stabbed Fu Liao twice. Fu Liao fell He didn't move after he got it off, and because of fear, Chen He hid back home without taking his purse."

When Jiang Nian heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.Fu Liao's life is monotonous, and his daily life route is from the hospital to his home, and he has no hobbies. He always has a few pieces of silver in his purse, and even only a few copper coins.

But who would have thought that even so, he still encountered unexpected disasters.

"How did Chen and his wife get killed?"

"According to Chen and his son's account, his father was very scared at the time, and packed his bags overnight and hid at relatives' homes. He left the city the next day as soon as the city gate opened. At that time, Fu Liao, who was seriously injured, was just discovered. But they just left. When they arrived in the suburbs, they were chased and killed. At that time, because Chen He's son went to relieve himself in the grass, he escaped. When he came back, he found that his parents had been killed. The killer also took the bodies of Chen He and his wife on the spot. Buried, if Chen He's son hadn't been lucky enough to survive, I'm afraid only the murderer knows about this matter."

"This incident didn't have any subtle layout at the beginning, it's just that this family made a knife to kill others by mistake."

Jiang Nian felt that this twisted and bizarre fact was too unbelievable, and sighed: "If you tell this discovery in the court, all the officials will definitely think that you just want to get rid of the crime, and let you make up such a story. Then forge witnesses."

Zuo Ming didn't care, "When they wronged you, didn't they use false evidence? What's more, now that Chen He's bloody clothes have been found when he committed the murder, they were afraid of being found, so they took them outside the city and abandoned them. In a wild field. Now that the blood-clothed official has been found, all kinds of evidence corroborate each other, so they can't help but believe it."

Jiang Nian clenched his fists tightly, took a breath forbearance, and said helplessly: "So what if you believe it? The black hand behind the scenes is still at large."
