Pastoral Tea Fragrance: The High Price Medical Concubine

Chapter 85: Happy to Get a Strange Plant (1)
Cui Zhifu kept this matter in mind, winked at the person he had brought, and then got up to leave.

Before leaving, he took away some tea bags and some unmade tea bags that the Lu family drank by themselves, and asked Lu Bingwen to wait for his good news at home.

In fact, as soon as Cui Zhifu led the people out of Lu's house, he went up the mountain to find the monster cave.The spies under him had already checked the situation up and down Qingfeng Mountain, and knowing where the monster cave was, they led Zhifu Cui and his party to the monster cave.

A group of people stood at the entrance of the cave and looked in. The cave was dark and windy, so scary.Cui Zhifu asked people to light a torch and take the lead to walk in.

Entering the depths of the cave, I saw bones all over the ground.

The ground under his feet was very soft, and when he pushed it away with his feet, there were also piles of white bones underneath.

"What Lu Bingwen said is true!" Prefect Cui has also handled many shocking cases, but this is the first time he has seen so many corpses turned into bones.

There were too many bones to take away, so the magistrate Cui ordered some people to wrap them up and go back to him for examination.

The pile of white bones made one's heart tremble, and there seemed to be faint crying sound coming from all around, Cui Zhifu secretly prayed in his heart: "You all died in vain, I know you are full of grievances, this time I will definitely give you justice."

Strange to say, after praying, the surrounding people could no longer feel the wind and crying.

Cui Zhifu and his party hurried down the mountain and quietly returned to the residence prepared by the county government.

"Master Cui, where have you been today?" Wang Zhixian waited in the living room early with delicious food and wine, trying to find out what Cui Zhifu did today.

Cui Zhifu laughed and said: "I used to farm when I was young. I heard that your local harvest this year is good, so I went around."

Wangzhi County also has its own eyeliner in the local area. Cui Zhifu naturally knows this, so he is vague at the moment.

"The lower official is here today to report to your lord that the Diao family's bombing case has been solved." While talking, Wang Zhixian secretly observed the expression on Cui Zhifu's face with his eyes.

"Oh?" Cui Zhifu didn't expect to be caught so soon, so it would be impossible for him to investigate Diao's family for a long time, so he said immediately, "Tell me what's going on. If it is really found out What kind of spy, I will definitely be the one to recommend you, Lord Wang."

Wang Zhixian was overjoyed: who doesn't like being an official and getting rich?You have to perform well yourself.

At that moment, he nodded and bowed even more: "I wonder if my lord knows that there was a strange incident in the previous dynasty? In the previous dynasty, a grain store in the capital exploded inexplicably in the middle of the night, causing heavy casualties. Jin Yiwei searched all over the capital and found no trace of the prisoner. In the end, he had to let it go." .”

"I have heard about this incident before." Cui Zhifu nodded.

"When the lower officials heard that Diao's house exploded, and the place where the explosion happened was in a warehouse where grain was piled up, they thought of this strange incident from the previous dynasty."

When he learned that the explosion happened in Diao's house, he was promiscuously in the room of the fifth concubine, so he didn't even think about it.

Cui Zhifu nodded: "You continue."

"The lower officials found that the common point of the two cases was the location where grains were piled up. Maybe the grains caused the explosion. After investigating the scene and questioning Diao's family, the lower officials learned that the warehouse was full of flour. So I did an experiment. The lower official ordered someone to throw a bag of flour into the empty room, and then lit a fire and threw it in. There was actually a slight explosion sound. Therefore, the lower official concluded that the bombing of Diao’s house was related to the previous court’s The strange thing is the same, it is an explosion caused by flour."

Cui Zhifu nodded while listening.After Wang Zhixian finished speaking, he suddenly slapped the table heavily: "Bold Wang Baichuan, dare to lie and lie to deceive the official!"

Wang Zhixian knelt down with a "plop" in fright.

"The lower officials have never lied to your lord, why did your lord say such a thing?"

Cui Zhifu sneered: "As for the cause of the bombing, as long as you go through the test, you will know whether what you said is true or not. I forgive you for not having the courage to lie about this. But is it really you who broke the case? "

When Wang Zhixian heard this, cold sweat rolled down his face, he hesitated and couldn't speak.

Prefect Cui was not in a hurry, he drank his tea calmly, and waited for Zhixian Wang to speak out.

"...Well, I have something to report to your lord." After waiting for a long time, there was no movement from Cui Zhifu, so Wang Zhixian could only tell the truth tremblingly, "It was not the lower official who discovered the cause of the bombing, but... …yes……"

"Who is it?"

"Ah, yes, speaking back to my lord, the person who discovered the cause of the bombing was a beggar." Wang Zhixian said with a bit of disdain in his tone, "It was the head catcher of Xiaguan who was drinking on the street and overheard The little beggar analyzed the cause of the bombing with others, and after he sobered up, he did an experiment and found that it was true, so he reported it to the lower officials."

"Then where is this little beggar now?" Prefect Cui became interested in that little beggar.

"I'll send someone to look for it, sir." When Wang Zhixian heard this, he didn't plan to punish him, so he got up and ran like flying to let people search for the little beggar all over the city.

About half an hour later, the little beggar was found and brought before Cui Zhifu.

Cui Zhifu saw that the little beggar was at most eight or nine years old, skinny and skinny, and his clothes were torn and the rags were not much better.But the little beggar was neatly cleaned up and down, and there was no unpleasant smell on his body, and his hair was well combed.

Looking again, the little beggar was holding a bamboo pole in his hand, pointing to and fro on the ground and walking forward. He turned out to be a blind man.

Prefect Cui asked the little beggar to be taken down to take a bath, change his clothes, and let him have a meal before talking to the little beggar in a room.

He deliberately avoided the eyes and ears of Wangzhi County, and sent people to guard the surroundings. People from Wangzhi County came several times and tried to sneak in with various excuses, but they failed.

An hour later, the prefect Cui came out of the room with a happy expression on his face, announcing that he accepted the little beggar as a foster child and wanted to take him back to Laizhou.

Afterwards, Prefect Cui sent his confidants to take care of the little beggar, greeted Wang Zhi County, wrote an account of the cause of the bombing, and set off for Laizhou Prefecture the next day.

Walking out of the county seat, Prefect Cui opened the curtain of the carriage and looked back at the county seat with a slight sneer: Now that King Ling lives in Diao’s house, it’s not good to attack Diao’s house without conclusive evidence. Even the Heavenly King and Lao Tzu can't save you!
As soon as Cui Zhifu left, Wang Zhixian went to Diao's house and told Diao De one by one what happened in the past few days. Diao De was old and cunning, and he didn't think Cui Zhifu had any disadvantages for his family—— Prefect Cui accepted all the gifts he sent these days.
