Zhou Manhui told him that the account book had been delivered to the capital long ago, not only passed her hands, but also handed over by her
Of course it can't be said, if there are no accidents, the people from Dali Temple and Yushitai will arrive tomorrow, and he will naturally know when the time comes, which can catch him by surprise.
She said: "The medical office and Zheng Gu's house were completely searched by the county magistrate Luo. Nothing was found. How could it be found on a weak pregnant woman?"
County Magistrate Luo's gaze meaningfully shifted from Master An to Shopkeeper Zheng, and then to Zhou Man, and said meaningfully: "Who knows? Maybe they are hiding somewhere else, and only Mrs. An knows the location. As long as they hand over the account books so that the county government can continue to investigate, I will let Anshi go."
"Master Zhou, I am doing this for the good of the Luozhou Medical Department and Mr. Zheng. With the account book, we can find out the source of the medicinal materials and pay him justice as soon as possible." County magistrate Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, "I think Mr. Zhou also wants to Let's find out the truth as soon as possible? Unless..."
County Magistrate Luo didn't finish his sentence, but everyone knew what he meant, unless there was a problem between Zheng Gu and the Luozhou Medical Department, and the Imperial Medical Department wanted to cover him up.
Zhou Man nodded and said: "Lord Luo said yes, but we can't disregard the court's laws. Regardless of whether An knows the account books or not, the Luo county magistrate can copy the Zheng family and the Luozhou Medical Office, but he can't put An in prison before there is evidence. "
Zhou Man stared at him with piercing eyes, "Lord Luo, I'm here to pick up my apprentice and daughter-in-law out of prison, I wonder if it's possible?"
County Magistrate Luo twitched, so he hated dealing with discordant officials the most, especially when the other party was an older official than him and knew the law.
If it wasn't Zhou Man who came to the door today, but shopkeeper Zheng Da and Master An, don't say such things, he wouldn't have heard, he might not even see each other.
But can he not meet Zhou Man
County Magistrate Luo's heart moved, it's okay to find other excuses, but she came here in a carriage from Prince Gong's Mansion, so she was unprepared at the time.
"Shouldn't Mr. Zhou be in the capital right now?" County Magistrate Luo said with a smile, "I didn't expect Mr. Zhou to be so willing to go so far for Mr. Zheng. It really is the deep love between master and apprentice."
Zhou Man said with a serious face: "I came to ask for the peace of mind of Prince Gong on the orders of His Majesty and Your Majesty. Does Lord Luo want to read the imperial edict from His Majesty to Prince Gong?"
Magistrate Luo was taken aback, so naturally he couldn't ask to see it.
Zhou Manren is here now, and he came here again in the carriage of the palace. Naturally, the decree has been announced, so he dared to read it, but would he dare to ask Prince Gong for the decree
County magistrate Luo wanted to procrastinate. He remembered that Zhou Man belonged to the prince, and Prince Gong and the prince had never been on good terms...
Zhou Man seemed to know what he was thinking, and the corner of his mouth slightly turned up: "Master Luo, I didn't know until I arrived at the palace that there seems to be a lot of snow in Luoyang this year, which has caused the prince to suffer from frequent leg problems. I am in a bad mood."
She glanced at the sky outside and said: "My lord, please hurry up. There are still some formalities to go through to bring Erniang An out. Seeing that the sky is getting dark, if you procrastinate, I will delay the treatment for Prince Gong today."
"Is that Master Zhou's dereliction of duty?"
"That's right," Man Bao said meaningfully: "So when I go back, I have to write an apology letter to His Majesty and Yushitai. It's better to be the magistrate of Luo County, unlike our Beijing officials, who will be punished if they make even the slightest mistake." Being held tightly by the censor, he was very terrified."
Magistrate Luo's mouth moved, the fist under the sleeve loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again.
In the end, he exhaled helplessly, turned his head and said to his confidant: "Go to the prison and bring An Erniang out."
Zhou Man got up immediately, and said to County Magistrate Luo, "Sitting for a long time is harmful to your health, why don't we take a walk?"
County magistrate Luo narrowed his eyes slightly, and said: "Zheng Gu is now the key person in the whole case, and this involves human life. I'm afraid Mr. Zhou can't visit the prison."
Zhou Man nodded, and said nonchalantly: "I don't see Zheng Gu, I just want to pick up my apprentice's daughter-in-law, and exercise my muscles by the way."
She said with a smile: "It's cold in winter, and the qi and blood are stagnant. If you move around, the qi and blood will flow faster, and your body will not be so cold."
What else can Luo county magistrate say
Can only go with them.
The prison is not very far from the county government, just turn two streets.
Sure enough, Zhou Man didn't go in, he just stood at the door of the prison and waited, and County Magistrate Luo could only accompany him, while his confidants took the impromptu documents and went in to pick him up.
Not long after, a woman with disheveled hair was pulled out.
Master An couldn't bear it any longer, and quickly stepped forward from behind Zhou Man, "Er Niang—"
Erniang An was terrified, her face turned pale, she looked up when she heard this familiar voice, she was pleasantly surprised, "Father—"
Both Man Bao and Zheng Da, the shopkeepers, were doctors, and they could tell at a glance that there was something wrong with her face, so they stepped forward immediately, and each held one of her hands to check her pulse.
Shopkeeper Zheng Da saw that she was sweating coldly on her forehead, and couldn't help being anxious, "But abdominal pain?"
Erniang An just saw her father-in-law. She only saw her father-in-law twice, once when she was hired, and once after she married Zheng Gu. Zheng Gu, he is..."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da supported her and comforted her: "I know, he is my son, can I not save him? You are not in good health, take a pill first."
He took out a bottle of medicine from his body, poured a pill for her, "Take it."
Erniang An's mind is like muddy at this moment, she was fine today, but just now the yamen guard suddenly broke into the cell, dragged her out without saying anything, frightened her and Zheng Gu, the two struggled for a while, In the end, An Erniang was dragged out by life and death. She thought she was going to die, but she didn't expect her family to rescue her
But…
An Erniang always felt that something was wrong, and felt uneasy.
She unconsciously took the medicine and took it.
Zhou Man took a look at the blue scratches on her hands, took off his cloak and put it on her body, turned his head and looked coldly at County Magistrate Luo, and said, "Lord Luo's skill, I can't help admiring it."
County magistrate Luo said: "I don't know why your lord said this."
Zhou Man didn't bother anymore, and turned to shopkeeper Zheng Da and said, "Take her away, let's go back first."
She turned her head and smiled at County Magistrate Luo, and said meaningfully: "Lord Luo, we will see you tomorrow."
County magistrate Luo was taken aback, thinking to himself, why should I see you tomorrow
County magistrate Luo decided to go to the countryside tomorrow to inspect the snow disaster situation, anyway, he would not meet her in the county office to see what she could do.
An Erniang stared blankly at Zhou Man. She had never seen Zhou Man before, but she had heard Zheng Gu mention his teacher a lot. Seeing that the Magistrate Luo was very angry but still wanted to salute and send them away, she vaguely guessed her. identity of.
Master An and shopkeeper Zheng Da said: "Dear family, I'm afraid you won't be able to get away recently, and it's inconvenient. Why don't you let her go back to her mother's house and let her mother take care of her. Alas, since they were imprisoned, her mother has been crying day and night , so worried."
Shopkeeper Zheng Da naturally responded "Yes", and said with a moved face: "Then my daughter-in-law here will have a labor-in-law."
