Chapter 256: Just for this?
Zhou Heng glanced at Su Xiaoxiao.
"Now I know it, are you scared?"
Su Xiaoxiao pouted, not knowing what to say for a moment, Zhou Heng sighed and continued:
"I always feel that this matter is not as simple as it seems. The inspiration at the palace banquet was already dancing in the capital. The inspiration was a gift from Wen from the Ning Prince's Mansion to Concubine Shu. You were shocked at that time.
At this moment, her adoptive father owed another thousand taels of silver gambling debt. No matter how he looked at it, he felt that he was full of conspiracy. He was afraid that the prince and you would be involved, so it would be more appropriate for me to come forward!"
Zhou Heng pursed his lips. He understood Su Xiaoxiao's thoughts. After all, General Su had followed King Ning for many years. Even if he was transferred to the capital, the friendship was still there. Moreover, her relationship with Liu Xiuer was so good, so he naturally didn't want something to happen to Huichuntang.
"Okay, don't worry about this matter again. Don't go back to Chuntang in the next two days."
Su Xiaoxiao was a little anxious and stood up and asked:
"What should Qiu Niang do? Could she just let her die for herself?"
"When did I say that she was letting herself fend for herself? Isn't this hospitalization?"
Su Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and stamped her feet at Zhou Hengyi.
"Where is discharged from the hospital? The wound on the face will be cured in a few days. Where will she go when she is discharged from the hospital?"
Zhou Heng sighed, "I said I won't let you care, just don't worry, let her calm down. If I want to stay, I can naturally place it."
Su Xiaoxiao secretly looked up at Zhou Heng, pursed her lips and seemed to be a little worried, and muttered in a low voice.
"How to place it, should it be placed in your courtyard, or would you put her into the room?"
Zhou Heng sighed, what mess is going on in this girl’s mind?
"What are you talking nonsense?"
Su Xiaoxiao frowned and looked at Zhou Heng, "You don't know it clearly, it's not OK. I'll think about it myself. What kind of resettlement method can you have? Her face is ruined. It seems that you have no intention of accepting her. She doesn't have the qualifications to study medicine. Do you really plan to let her be a laundry lady for someone? She doesn't know anything except this?"
Zhou Heng felt powerless.
"I said, there are arrangements that are their own. I won't tell you if you ask, and of course I won't accept Qiu Niang as my concubine. I, Zhou Heng, don't have any concubines. Please come back with Miss Su Wu."
After saying that, Zhou Heng seemed to have left the office as if he had escaped.
Su Xiaoxiao stomped her feet and pouted. Zhou Heng's man had already run away and it would be useless to yell.
However, he said that he would not accept Qiu Niang as his concubine, nor would he have any concubines. Su Xiaoxiao heard this and thought about it and smiled brightly on the corner of her lips.
In Daliang, not to mention high-ranking officials and nobles, they are ordinary wealthy people, with many people with three wives and four concubines. However, her father, General Su, only one wife, and there are very few men who can do this. Unexpectedly, Zhou Heng thought so.
Su Xiaoxiao swayed out of the office behind her hands.
At this moment, I was in a good mood and didn't go to see Qiu Niang and Liu Xiu'er anymore. I walked downstairs and looked at the moon-white men's clothing on my body and stopped.
It happened that Chuntao saw her in front of the door and hurried forward to greet her.
"Chuntao has met Miss Su Wu. What does Miss Su Wu think? She smiled so happily."
Su Xiaoxiao raised her chin and put her hands behind her back, but she seemed to think of something in an instant, let go of the hands behind her, and said with a smile:
"Go and help your lady work, I'll make two sets of dresses."
After saying that, he left without any trouble. Chuntao looked surprised. You know, since she met Miss Su Wu, she has been showing off her men's clothing. What's wrong with this today?
Shaking his head, although Chuntao was puzzled, he turned around and turned to the stairs
Zhang Fuling paced back and forth, and soon Fang Jizhong walked in quickly.
When he saw Zhang Fuling, he quickly stepped forward with a smile on his face and his eyes were full of expectations.
"Mr. Zhang is so fast, it seems that he has gained something?"
Zhang Fuling smiled and nodded, "Eunuch Fang looked like a spring breeze. Obviously, what did you find out?"
Fang Jizhong raised his head and smiled, signaling the two of them to sit down, and everyone in the room retreated.
"Mr. Zhang first talk, did Su'e admit it?"
Zhang Fuling told what Su'e said, then took out the sachet from her cuff and handed it to Fang Jizhong two notes.
"It's these two notes. Although there are not many names, I have checked it. This paper is not an ordinary letter, with light yellow spots on it. Although the paper is thin, it is strongly tough and white and delicate. It is Kaihua paper. The ink contains pearlescent and a faint bamboo fragrance. This is gold and bamboo ink. People who can use such two objects at will are definitely not low-level palace maids."
Fang Jizhong quickly raised the note and took a closer look. Zhang Fuling's judgment was good, and it was indeed Kaihua paper and Jinzhu ink.
"There are these two objects, except for the Imperial Study Room, there are only the Empress, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, and Concubine Zhen in the palace. Su E is a person in Concubine Shu, but her status is low and not enough to touch such objects. It seems that she has not lie, and she is indeed acting according to the instructions on the note."
Zhang Fuling nodded, "Did Eunuch Fang find a palace maid who was injured on the face?"
Fang Jizhong narrowed his eyes and said, "I found that there were injuries on the faces of two people. One was the nanny in Sun Zhaoyi's room, and the other was the nanny in the Concubine Xian's palace."
Zhang Fuling was stunned, "Concubine Xian? The brocade handkerchief taken out of Sun Zhaoyi's stomach seemed to be embroidered with chrysanthemums. Eunuch Fang said that only Concubine Xian used chrysanthemums as decoration in this palace?"
Fang Jizhong slowly walked to the seat, sat down and picked up the teacup and took a sip. He did not rush to answer, but laughed.
"Do you know that the third prince recently studied political affairs with His Majesty and proposed the method of storing tax and autumn grain, which is highly praised by His Majesty?"
Zhang Fuling was stunned and frowned slightly. He had heard about this before.
However, Fang Jizhong mentioned it at this moment, and he didn't know what it was for a moment.
But it is actually clear that the case was found to be so accurate. Even if the nanny in Sun Zhaoyi wanted to kill the master, she would not have the courage to do so. Besides, she would not have such ability to cover up the matter so thoroughly, while the nanny in Concubine Xian’s palace was different.
Concubine Xian has the third prince and sixth princess by her side. She has a very stable position in the harem. She helped the queen assist in the harem for many years. Although she was not from a high background and was just a doctor, her brother Chen Wenyao was very successful.
Chen Wenyao was the closed disciple of the Grand Tutor Cao Xinrang and was appointed as the right minister of the Ministry of Rites. Cao Xinrang was not only the Grand Tutor when the emperor was the crown prince, but also the father of Empress Cao.
Concubine Xian's father Chen Qing was also the governor of Shanxi.
The intricate connections here are so complex that it makes people dizzy.
And what does Fang Jizhong mean?
Could it be
"Please tell me frankly, I didn't understand the meaning for a while."
Fang Jizhong sighed.
"Don't check this nanny next to Concubine Xian for the time being. Our family is just monitoring people and report to His Majesty for relevant details. As for how to deal with it, let His Majesty decide."
Zhang Fuling clasped his fists and didn't know what to say for a moment, but he still handed the sachet in his hand to Fang Jizhong.
"Then I will be a father-in-law. I will leave the palace first. If Dali Temple needs to cooperate with the investigation, I can send me a message. After all, it seems that we will interrogate the people in the palace."
Fang Jizhong stood up and saluted Zhang Fuling, "Mr. Zhang is right, so we won't leave any masters. Let's report to His Majesty. As for the content of the case, please ask Lord Zhang to advise his subordinates. By the way, Zhou Yian seems to be a capable person."
Zhang Fuling nodded, "I am planning to keep him. This student has a very thorough study of the anatomy. It may be more beneficial to study with his uncle in the capital."
Fang Jizhong raised his head with great interest.
"Uncle Master?"
Zhang Fuling smiled.
"It's okay to tell Eunuch Fang. The reason why Zhou Yian's autopsy is amazing is that he has studied with his uncle Zhou Heng and obtained a note from Zhou Heng's grandfather. This is why he has such ability. When I say this, I have a reluctant request."
Fang Jizhong raised his eyebrows. He knew very well who Zhang Fuling was. But he was just a slut. He would rather betray the truth than betray him. He could ask for help. It was just like climbing to the sky. At this pace today, what kind of request is there?
"Mr. Zhang doesn't have to be so arrogant. Just say anything, as long as our family can do it."
Zhang Fuling was not polite, and said in a lowered voice:
"After reporting this to Your Majesty, if possible, I hope that Eunuch Fang can say a few good words to Su'e. Zhou Yian had promised the palace maid Su'e to do her best to protect her and recognize her as a girl."
Fang Jizhong was stunned and looked up at Zhang Fuling. He never expected that the mentioned process mentioned in the previous story would make Zhang Fuling give up his face and ask for help.
"Just for this?"
