Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Yuan was continuing to mutter: "You are the one who advocated opening this Imperial Medical Office. You can't let it go if you can't get the benefits. Look at my hair, how much gray hair has I added in the past six months? Also, I'm the boss, are you Subordinate, don't always ask me to find you to work, you have to take the initiative to know?"
Man Bao nodded again and again, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Yuanzheng, did you eat duck bills at noon today?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said angrily: "No, I'm eating duck feet, otherwise do you think I can walk so fast now? Hurry up and go to work for me."
Man Bao took the medical book she was assigned and ran away.
After handing over the task, Xiao Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief, he still had confidence in Zhou Man's work efficiency.
Man Bao took the book back to the library and began to check it. At this time, Tang County Magistrate was walking to the Department of Punishment.
As soon as he arrived in the execution room, he smelled a bloody smell. Eunuch Wu, who was listening to the interrogation, sneered and said to Xu Yu who was tied to the frame: "Xu Yu, if Doctor Zhou hadn't pleaded for you, you would not have survived the punishment. Don't be shameless, if you don't confess again, our family won't stop them from inflicting severe punishment on them."
Xu Yu lowered her head, and said in a hoarse voice after a while: "Your servant... I have been wronged, my servant really doesn't know anything..."
Eunuch Wu saw that she didn't want to eat oil and salt, so he said to the left and right: "Forget it, let's go to the big punishment."
Xu Yu raised her eyelids slightly, and saw them coming up with a blood-stained wooden yoke. She couldn't help shaking her whole body, her hands trembled convulsively, and finally lowered her head.
Magistrate Tang also saw the wooden shackle, which clamped his chest, and he frowned slightly. With this punishment, people probably wouldn't be able to survive.
Everyone is dead, whether it is a real suspect or a real innocent.
He turned the corner and stopped.
When Eunuch Wu saw Magistrate Tang, he bent slightly and said, "Master Tang, Your Highness asked me to follow Mr. Yin's left side to listen to his orders. I didn't expect that it was you who came. If you have any orders, just ask our family to do it."
Magistrate Tang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Wu, I have something to ask Xu Yu, can this wooden cannon be used later?"
He said casually: "I just came here from the doctor Zhou, why, she asked the public to take care of Xu Yu?"
Eunuch Wu frowned and said: "Doctor Zhou was kind-hearted and begged His Highness for mercy, but His Highness refused. He said he wanted to save her life, but our family saw that she was stubborn, obviously she would not shed tears when she saw the coffin."
Magistrate Tang nodded his head to express his understanding, and then said: "Why don't you let me ask, maybe I can find out something, after all, she is the person who serves the imperial doctor Zhou, and she has a lot of love. If she is really beaten to death not good."
Eunuch Wu thought about it and thought it was true, and after talking for a while, his anger subsided a little, so he waved his hand to let people go down.
Magistrate Tang stepped forward, walked around Xu Yu, waved someone to bring a glass of water, and asked her to drink a sip of water before looking at her face, "Doctor Zhou's acupuncture Did you change the bag?"
Xu Yu couldn't even shake her head, but said in a weak voice: "No, I don't know anything about needle bags."
"But the two servants who accompanied you to deliver the medicine box said that you were the one who changed it."
Xu Yu burst into tears, "They lied, and this servant was wronged, why did this servant do such a thing?"
Magistrate Tang smiled and said, "You asked me the other way around. I should be asking you this question. Why did you do such a thing?"
Xu Yu shook his head with difficulty, denied it and then stopped talking.
Magistrate Tang asked, "Someone saw you standing outside Doctor Zhou's window staring at her more than once in the middle of the night. You were assigned to Doctor Zhou's side from the very beginning? Who ordered you?"
Xu Yu was stunned for a moment and then said: "The maidservant just got up to see if there are other orders from Imperial Physician Zhou."
She said: "The slaves are serving the imperial physician Zhou. Originally, it is common for the maids to serve the female officials and sleep on the female official's footsteps to listen to orders. However, the imperial physician Zhou is considerate of the slaves and reciprocates. Naturally, the slaves will be more dedicated."
If Zhou Man hadn't said this, Magistrate Tang might have believed her a little bit, but right now he didn't.
Some behaviors may indeed be misunderstood by others, but Zhou Man, as the person involved, is also sensitive and intelligent. He can be sure that if she can say that, she must have sensed something.
And people definitely have feelings for danger and dislike.
The expression on Magistrate Tang's face didn't change much, as if he didn't listen to her distinguishing words, he seemed to listen again.
"How many times have you done this?" he asked.
Xu Yu said: "I don't remember, but when Imperial Physician Zhou first entered the palace, I almost got up every night to check on the situation."
She paused and said: "This servant does have selfish intentions. Everyone knows why Zhou Taiyi came to the palace. She is for the prince and the princess. With the prince and the princess, even with the majesty and the queen, they are very respectable."
"My servant just wants to do my best to form a good relationship with Zhou Taiyi. If she can say a word for this servant in the future, this servant may also be promoted to a female official." Xu Yu seemed to be in better spirits. She raised her head and looked at Tang Tang. The county magistrate shook his head a little excitedly and said, "Although I have selfish intentions, I never thought of harming Imperial Physician Zhou."
"Really?" County magistrate Tang didn't know whether to believe it or not, and changed his voice: "Tell me about the situation that day. When did you meet the servant of the imperial physician Xuanzhou who came from the princess's side? What were you doing at that time? Anyone?"
Xu Yu had already answered these questions before, so he just answered them again at this time, but County Magistrate Tang asked the questions in a different order after going through the process...
County Magistrate Tang asked these questions seven or eight times, and at the end Xu Yu's voice became weaker. She was tied up and injured. She was already in pain, but she was asked the same question repeatedly , she almost collapsed.
Not to mention her, even Eunuch Wu, who was listening on the sidelines, was about to collapse.
Magistrate Tang asked again: "Where was the medicine box of Imperial Doctor Zhou placed in the house at that time?"
Xu Yu replied drowsily: "On a shelf of the bookshelf..."
Xu Yu trembled slightly. This question had never come up before. She knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she could only put on a blank face, and added weakly, "Physician Zhou's medicine box is usually placed in that place..."
County Magistrate Tang interrupted her and asked, "Did you and that servant named Wang Yu go the same way when you went out to find Imperial Physician Zhou?"
These questions have already been asked.
Xu Yu answered again in great pain, and County Magistrate Tang asked these questions again and again, each time her answer was exactly the same, even the words did not change much.
After she became drowsy again, Magistrate Tang asked again, "Who had the medicine box when I left the yard?"
