Chapter 70 The Truth
When Li Sanniang followed the yamen to the entrance of the criminal department, she unexpectedly met Xu Jingzhen at the door still wearing the same indigo robe and white jade hairpin.
"Ms. Li Sanniang, be well."
The beautiful man greeted him first, so Li Sanniang naturally responded. After bowing, Li Sanniang said with a smile: "Mr. Xu Sangang, Anhui. Mr. Xu Sanlang was also called for questioning?"
"Yes."
In this way, Li Sanniang and Xu Jingzhen followed the Yamen into the Ministry of Justice.
When they arrived at the room, Li Sanniang felt that she might have been influenced by Xu Sanlang of the British government next to her. Not only did she have a seat to sit in, but she also had tea to drink and a plate of pastries.
After waiting for a while, Zheng Shilang, whom he had seen last time, walked in together with a man wearing a black narrow-sleeved brocade robe with a round collar and intricate embroidery patterns and a hat.
Looking carefully, Zheng Shilang is already a fourth-rank official, but he is half a body behind the black-robed man.
As a person with sensitive senses, Li Sanniang smelled a trace of blood on the man as soon as he entered the scene.
Li Sanniang thought to herself, darling, this is a great killing god.
How many people would have to be killed before this dense scent of blood would linger around them.
Under the introduction of Zheng Shilang, the three of them knew each other by their names. This was the first member of the Jinyi Guards around Emperor Wu, Commander Xue Yaoxue.
Jinyiwei was created by Emperor Wu himself after he ascended the throne. It was directly subordinate to Emperor Wu and was only responsible to Emperor Wu. Even his salary went from Emperor Wu's private treasury. It can be said that he is the most loyal person.
What the Jinyiwei does ranges from reconnaissance, arrests, and interrogations to participating in cooperating with the Imperial Guards to collect military intelligence, instigating rebellion against enemy generals, etc. Li Sanniang feels that this responsibility is a bit like modern special forces.
On the surface, what they were doing was the most important thing for Emperor Wu. They didn't do dirty things and followed the right path.
After all, there are bad people who do dirty things.
Xue Yao sat at the top and said in a cold tone: "Today I came to question you two according to the imperial decree. I have already read your testimonies, but there are just some details that I want to confirm carefully."< br>
"If you ask someone, tell me everything you know."
Xu Jingzhen spoke, and Li Sanniang said nothing more, just nodded.
So in this cold, business-like atmosphere, Zheng Shilang acted as the director and recorded the questions and answers between the three of them.
After more than half an hour of questioning, when Li Sanniang and Xu Jingzhen were sent out of the room, a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on Li Sanniang's forehead.
In late August, the weather was still a bit hot, but it was still cool, so this sweaty bead was really frightened by Xue Yao's pressing and sharp questioning.
Li Sanniang felt that if she was caught in the special prison of Jinyiwei for something in the future, she would not need to be punished, and she would definitely have to reveal everything about how she lived in her previous life.
When Li Sanniang left the house, she turned around and glanced at Xue Yao. She felt excited all over and thought to herself, this is indeed a capable person beside Emperor Wu. This is different from the previous situation where he was killed by Di Shaoqing and Zheng Shilang in Liangguo Duke’s Mansion. Inquiries are completely different.
Xue Yao gives people the impression of a cold sword hanging over your head. His questions are sharp and terrifying, and it feels like he is interrogating a prisoner.
But Li Sanniang is a very good citizen!
I got involved in this case just because of curiosity.
Out of the gate of the Criminal Department, Li Sanniang warned herself again in her heart that she must never be curious about anything again!
Curiosity killed the cat, but I don’t have nine lives!
Standing outside the gate of the Criminal Department, Li Sanniang was about to say goodbye to Xu Jingzhen with a few polite words. Before she could say anything, Xu Jingzhen lowered her head and bowed and said, "Ms. Li Sanniang, I heard the good story about Li Sanniang saving people before. I admire you."
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xu Sanlang. It's just luck."
Li Sanniang thought, what's going on? Go back and investigate yourself? Have you investigated all the things that made you famous?
“To be honest, I have a close friend who has been ill since childhood and has seen many doctors but no improvement. I heard that Ms. Li Sanniang’s medical skills are extraordinary, so I thought of asking Ms. Li Sanniang to take a look. , is it convenient?"
Xu Jingzhen looked at Li Sanniang's puzzled look and continued to say seriously: "Ms. Li Sanniang is in the teahouse not far away. Please trouble Li Sanniang's kindness as a doctor."
Li Sanniang dared to contact anyone from a high-ranking noble family at this moment. She just wanted to go home.
Then he refused: "Mr. Xu Sanlang, I am just an unrecognized girl who knows some medical skills. How can I go to treat others? Mr. Xu Sanlang should hire someone else who is smart." Okay."
Xu Jingzhen saw that Li Sanniang really didn't want to go, so he walked closer and whispered: "Sanniang, aren't you curious about the truth about the Wu Shiro case? I went to the teahouse and talked to Sanniang carefully. Let's talk about it separately." After talking about this, Li Sanniang was a little curious, so she nodded and followed Xu Jingzhen to the teahouse not far away.
When they arrived at the place, Li Sanniang saw that the signboard of the two-story teahouse was called Qingjing Building, which was quite interesting.
But standing at the door, Li Sanniang felt a little annoyed. Just now she had said at the gate of the Ministry of Justice that she must not be curious, but in the end she was still curious about the truth and followed Xu Jingzhen to this teahouse.
As soon as I entered, I was led up to the second floor by the waiter.
After entering a private room, Li Sanniang was led by Xu Jingzhen to introduce her to Fang Chengxian.
Although Li Sanniang is not a beauty person, who doesn’t like to look at beauties.
This Xu Jingzhen is a rare handsome man. Unexpectedly, his best friend is also a handsome young man, but the black and blue color at the moment detracts a bit from his handsome appearance.
They exchanged names and listened to the sick man introduce himself while coughing lightly. Li Sanniang had some guesses about his illness.
As soon as he sat down, a boy came up and brought tea and some refreshments. Li Sanniang also faintly heard the sound of the piano, thinking that it must have come from the performance in a nearby private room.
Li Sanniang came to this teahouse just to hear the truth. After taking another sip of tea, she looked at Xu Jingzhen and motioned for him to speak quickly.
Xu Jingzhen didn’t know whether it was to tease Li Sanniang or because he was really thirsty. After drinking a full cup of tea, he pushed the dots on the table in front of Li Sanniang and said with a smile: "Sanniang, try it." Taste, the refreshments here are very famous.”
Fang Cheng looked on, unaware that he had coaxed Li Sanniang to come.
Li Sanniang saw that he was still not talking about business, so she wanted to ask, but Xu Jingzhen said with a smile: "Sanniang, please be patient and listen to me slowly."
With refreshments, Li Sanniang listened. Xu Jingzhen slowly told the truth about Wu Shilang's murder case.
Wushilang was the concubine of Emperor Wu's second brother. He had already married a wife and had children. However, although he was not a bully, he was very lustful and liked young and tender girls. mother.
The real name of Rou Niang is Zhao Roudie, and she is the concubine of Zhao Dandie.
Li Sanniang really knew Zhao Dandie. She was the girl with the golden hairpin who commanded the female military guards to assist Li Sanniang next to Qibi Yatong who rescued Duke Liang's Mansion by the river. Qibi Yatong’s maternal cousin.
It was also because of this relationship that Zhao Roudie was able to attend the banquet at the Duke of Liang's Mansion. Otherwise, how would she, a concubine, have the qualifications to attend the banquet of noble ladies.
Zhao Roudie is also a capable person. Not only does she have a personal relationship with Wu Shiro, but she also has a relationship with the eldest son of Duke Liang.
A girl like Zhao Roudie knew that she was a concubine, so it was impossible for her to have a relationship with the emperor's relatives, and it was even more impossible for a girl like Zhao Roudie to give up the Duke of Liang's palace and only be Wu Shiro's mistress.
So she hooked up with the prince of Duke Liang's mansion again, thinking that becoming a concubine in Duke Liang's mansion would be a good place.
But the eldest lady, the eldest wife of the Crown Prince of Liang, hated this kind of coquettish little girl the most. Even if the prince begged, he would not allow such a girl to enter the house.
It is due to the fact that the Duke of Liang has passed down to this generation. Although Duke Liang gave the eldest lady the respect of his legitimate wife, in fact, he was the most doting concubine in the house. After the eldest lady gave birth to the heir, he did not enter the eldest lady again. house.
On weekdays, even on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month, I rest in my concubine’s house every day.
However, for so many years, there is only one bastard in this house.
Isn’t it that the eldest lady did not agree with Rou Niang to be a concubine? As a result, the prince actually went to the old lady to ask for help. The old lady was already at odds with the eldest lady, so they started a fight based on this matter. In the arena, the old lady wanted to allow Zhao Roudie to come in and become her concubine.
In this way, the eldest lady asked someone to investigate Zhao Roudie, and she really found out that she had an affair with Takeshiro.
Therefore, the eldest lady wanted to attract people to catch Zhao Roudie and Wu Shilang at the flower viewing banquet where many high-ranking noble men and women were present in Chang'an, so as to get rid of this marriage.
The eldest lady’s people found someone in Pingkangfang and bought some fun medicine, which was the off-white powder that Li Sanniang found in Wushirang’s waistband. The night before, they bought a family in Pingkangfang that Wusiro often went to. The girl asked her to put the powder on Wu Shiro.
Who would have thought that Wu Shilang played all night in Pingkangfang without talking, drank, and came to Zhao Roudie for sex. In such a shortfall, he had an accident and died.
