Shopkeeper Zheng Da was not very relieved, but at the moment he had no choice but to send Zhou Man to the car.
God and Buddha bless Mantian, Zhou Man is doing well, now the biggest backer of their family is her, and his second brother can only walk around the capital, but in terms of people he knows, Zhou Man is the most powerful.
When Man Bao returned to Prince Gong's Mansion, County Magistrate Luo came out of the prison, but his face was not very good.
The confidant who followed him said: "My lord, I see that Zheng Gu's face is not good, he is obviously frightened, if he comes again two times, maybe he will be recruited."
County Magistrate Luo did not hold out hope, "We dragged An Shi out in front of him, and he didn't let go right now. After recovering, he must know that we can't do anything to An Shi, let alone him. Recruited."
He went back to the county office angrily, paused halfway, and stopped, "No, why did Zhou Man come to Luoyang? How did she know the news?"
"It's not that she came to see Prince Gong by order. When she arrives in Luoyang, she will definitely look for her disciples. Once she finds them, she will know?"
"But why is Zheng Gu's father here?" County magistrate Luo had a bad feeling in his heart, and he was a little dizzy, "Hurry up, hurry up and find out when Zhou Man and the others entered the city, and they did it after entering the city. What, go check it out!"
Before the confidant could run out, the master of Luo county magistrate came running with someone, "My lord, you have a letter from the capital."
The master is the confidant of County Magistrate Luo, and he can open and read ordinary letters without the consent of County Magistrate Luo, unless it is a secret letter.
So County Magistrate Luo lifted up his robe and quickly went back to open the letter.
After he finished reading, he sat down on the chair, rubbed his forehead with a headache and said, "There's no need to investigate, an angel from the capital is coming to investigate this matter."
The master was surprised and asked, "Didn't it be reported? How did the capital know?"
"You were not careful when you ransacked the house, the person called Zheng Gu ran out, and someone went to the capital to report."
"this… "
The people below immediately argued: "My lord, Zheng Gu lives in the backyard of the medical office. In those few days, there were a lot of people who came to grab medicines, and he hired some short-term workers. When we ransacked the house, there were people running out everywhere. It's very difficult." Make sure which one is his."
"This is not the time to shirk responsibility, the most urgent thing is to think about what to do," said the master, "My lord, since the capital already knows, the angel asked why he didn't report it, how would you answer?"
"The road is blocked by heavy snow, so people can't get out?"
"Not right," said the master, "Zheng Gu's people can go to the capital, why can't your lord's people come?"
County Magistrate Luo thought for a moment and said: "The tolerance has been dispatched, but the road is blocked by heavy snow, someone may have an accident on the road, and we have been waiting for a reply."
The master nodded, and ordered the catcher below: "Choose two people, let them go to hide somewhere else, wait for the angel to leave before coming out."
The head catcher should go down.
The county magistrate Luo did not dare to relax, and lowered his voice: "One more thing, I took Zheng Gu into custody without the consent of Yushitai..."
"My lord, the families of the victims have been making noises, which aroused the anger of the people in the city, and there has been no reply to the official document. You have no choice but to take Mr. Xiao Zheng into custody. This is not only to calm the anger of the people, but also to protect Xiao Zheng. My lord and family." The master said: "The local officials have the right to be suitable, and this matter is not a big deal."
Magistrate Luo let out a breath, and then he relaxed a little.
The master said: "The adults in Yushitai and Dali Temple are difficult to deal with, but it is Prince Gong's side that is even more difficult to deal with."
He said: "Although Prince Gong doesn't care about things, Luoyang County is no longer the fiefdom of Prince Gong, but His Majesty has always favored Prince Gong. If Prince Gong intervenes, the matter may be bad."
Prince Gong's fief of Luozhou used to include Luoyang, a large and very rich place. Unfortunately, he caused troubles one after another. With the efforts of his officials, the emperor could only cut off his fief twice.
In this way, Luoyang County was removed from his fief. Originally, the vassal king could not intervene in the fief's appointment and dismissal and government affairs, and now he can't even speak.
However, it is not possible on the surface, but secretly his influence is still great.
County magistrate Luo didn't want to offend the prince, otherwise his tenure in the next few years would be too difficult, so he also thought seriously.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Isn't Zhou Man from the prince's family?"
The master said helplessly: "My lord, if the prince's leg hadn't been injured, Prince Gong would have dared to fight the prince, but with his leg injured, he was no longer destined for that position, so he naturally wanted to repair his relationship with the prince. For this reason, he will not make things difficult for Zhou Man."
Who doesn't know that Zhou Man belongs to the prince.
At this time, Prince Gong was making things difficult for Zhou Man.
He was leaning on the head pillow, his big body squeezed into a purposely enlarged chair, his lower legs were raised, and they were placed on a small table, with a maid kneeling on the left and right sides massaging his legs.
He also raised his chin to look at Zhou Man. He was obviously shorter when he was sitting than when he was standing, but he pretended to be condescending.
He said: "I said, why did you come to see this king? It turned out that the drunkard didn't care about drinking. If you didn't run this trip, I wouldn't know that your apprentice was arrested. Why? , Your medical department has only been opened and will close within two years?"
Man Bao glanced at him and said, "His Royal Highness, do you know who built the Imperial Medical Office?"
Prince Gong sneered and said, "Of course I know, isn't he the prince?"
He said: "Aren't you the Imperial Medical Office, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Households all the prince's direct confidants?"
You can't say that, but the prince used to be in charge of the Ministry of Rites, and now he is in charge of the Ministry of Household Affairs. When the Imperial Medical Office was established, the prince was in charge, so these three departments are naturally close to the prince, but it is not true to say that they are the prince's direct confidants.
Therefore, Man Bao said: "The crown prince has only two real confidantes, one is Zhan Shifu and the other is Chongwenguan. Our Imperial Medical Office is not. We are a department established by the imperial court, which is the same as the six departments and nine temples."
Prince Gong was so angry that he withdrew his foot, stepped on the ground and sprayed her, "You are from Chongwen Museum, aren't you the prince's confidant? How dare you say that the Imperial Medical Office is not the prince's?"
Man Bao took out a handkerchief and wiped his face in disdain. After thinking about it, the first sentence of this passage was barely half right, but the second sentence was completely wrong. , then the Imperial Medical Office belongs to Dajin, or the harem?"
Prince Gong sat back angrily.
Only then did Zhou Man continue the topic, "The Imperial Medical Office was built by the empress."
She said with a serious face: "In the 14th year of Dazhen, we proposed to His Majesty to rebuild the Imperial Medical Office. At that time, only the empress agreed."
Prince Gong was taken aback for a moment, the prince had no son in the 14th year of Dazhen, and the concubine did not conceive until the 15th year of Dazhen. It was also in that year that someone proposed to rebuild the Imperial Medical Office, and then the prince strongly supported it. Later...
Prince Gong looked at Zhou Man and asked, "What are you talking about with this king?"
