Su Fengnuan lay on the bed for a while after Mrs. Su left, then got up, took the box, and went to the living room.
When she came to the living room, Su Qing was drinking tea and chatting with Xu Yunchu.
Seeing Su Fengnuan coming, Su Qing said to her, "Stinky girl, I thought you were hiding in the grandfather's mansion and never came back! Now you dare to come back again."
Su Fengnuan glanced at him, seeing his resentful expression, probably because of her pressing his acupoints. Then he said slowly, "Do you still want me to touch your acupoints? After I entered the palace today, the queen mother didn't lose her temper with me. I didn't have a chance to move my hands and feet. Now I just do it."
Su Qing choked.
Su Fengnuan saw that he kept his mouth shut obediently and lost his resentment, so he ignored him and handed the box to Xu Yunchu, "The evidence is all in it."
Xu Yunchu reached out to take the box and held it in his hand, feeling heavy. He asked, "It seems that these evidences are enough for the Lingshan case?"
Su Fengnuan sat down and nodded, "It should be enough."
Xu Yunchu nodded, put the box on the table, reached out and pressed it, and opened the hidden lock, inside was a box full of evidence. He reached out and took out part of it, flipped through it casually, his brows frowned slightly.
Su Fengnuan poured himself a cup of hot tea, crossed his legs, and watched his expression fluctuate while drinking the tea.
After the Lingshan plague happened that year, the officials concealed it layer by layer, which led to it getting out of hand. In the end, the imperial court simply issued a military order to seal off Lingshan, and not even a bird was allowed to fly out. At that time, there were still many people who were not infected with the plague, but later they all waited to die.
It is not that the Lingshan plague cannot be saved, but that no one can save it, and they are unwilling to save it.
Although there is a noble concubine Yue who wasted the life and death of Gu Lingshan and his family, but she is a harem concubine, even if she is superb in martial arts, she is trapped in a deep palace, especially because she is favored. month, but it is not so easy. If there are no important ministers in the court, such a big matter cannot be concealed. Even the emperor didn't even hear the slightest wind.
Now, what is contained in this box is the wealth and life of many officials, among them there are naturally important officials in the court.
If Xu Yunchu handed these plans to the emperor, one can imagine how angry the emperor would be.
After Xu Yunchu looked at it for a while, he put all the evidence back into the box. After a moment of silence, he closed the box and locked the hidden lock, and said to Su Fengnuan in a low voice, "It must be extremely difficult for you to collect these evidences. To avoid people's eyes and ears, we need to collect all the evidence." After a pause, he said, "But it's about Chao Gang, and it's not bad if most of these evidences can be used."
Su Fengnuan smiled, "Dongchaogang is the foundation of the society and the country, I know that. Since the emperor handed over the case to Uncle Xiaoguo, he trusted Uncle Xiaoguo. Since I handed over all these evidences to you, I also trusted you If you can handle this case well, you can give an explanation to those souls in Lingshan. As for how much evidence can be used, Chao Gang has to move but also keep it steady, so naturally you need to be careful."
Xu Yunchu nodded.
Su Fengnuan said again, "For example, in the case of Concubine Yue, so far, only a concubine died for a month, a nanny for the crown prince, and a wife of the country's uncle. Ye Shizi also took it lightly, and so did the emperor. The country was not involved. The criminalization of the husband's mansion is also for the sake of the current situation. I invited Li Mo, a one-armed man who came to the capital to assist in the investigation, and was killed by the uncle and wife. I told his body that I would avenge him, but since the uncle and wife are dead, There is no need to avenge this grudge. I can’t implicate Uncle Xiaoguo to make amends, can I? So, it’s not wrong to think twice about everything, abandon small righteousness and consider the overall situation.”
Xu Yunchu's face was slightly moved when he heard the words, "My mother even plans to pay for the country's husband's mansion. Killing someone is not a little uneasy for her. Now that she is dead and a son, she can no longer discuss her mother's fault. But I still Thank you for not implicating me in seeking revenge."
Su Fengnuan smiled faintly, "Uncle and Madam Guo are one person who does things and one person is responsible. She is already dead, and the grievances will be written off with her death. There is nothing to say. I know that it has nothing to do with you, so naturally I won't seek revenge from you. Revenge When is it? Why don't you worry about it."
Xu Yunchu nodded, "Miss Su has a broad mind, which is difficult for ordinary people."
Su Fengnuan laughed, "Uncle Xiaoguo saved my third brother last time. In terms of my third brother's face, I can't seek revenge on you again."
Xu Yunchu glanced at Su Qing and said softly, "It's just a matter of little effort."
Su Qing gave Su Fengnuan a white look, "You know I'm your third brother, and I don't look like a younger sister." After saying that, he stood up, patted Xu Yunchu on the shoulder, "Come on, let's go to my study to play chess. "
Xu Yunchu nodded, and said warmly to Su Feng, "Auntie left dinner, I can't shirk it, and I have to stay in the mansion for half a day, please keep this box for me first, and take it away when I leave."
Su Fengnuan immediately said, "Aren't you going to my third brother's study? Take it with you."
Xu Yunchu shook his head, "I don't have a good memory, so I don't forget it when I leave. You can keep it first, and you can remind me when you leave." After saying that, he looked at Su Qing.
Su Qing nodded, and said viciously to Su Fengnuan, "Why so much nonsense? I told you to take it first, and then give it when you leave." After saying that, she pulled Xu Yunchu out of the living room and went to the study .
Su Fengnuan looked at the box on the table, and was speechless for a moment. Originally, she wanted to give the box to Xu Yunchu, so she wouldn't eat dinner at home, and hid in the afternoon. Now it seems that it won't work.
So, she took the box again and went back to her own yard, planning to sleep in the afternoon before talking, anyway, Xu Yunchu had to have dinner before leaving.
But as soon as she entered her yard, the housekeeper came to report, "Miss, Doctor Meng is here, please see you."
Su Fengnuan took a look outside, it was raining a little harder than in the morning, this doctor Meng came here in the rain, he really did his best for Ye Chang's pain. Then he nodded to the housekeeper, "Invite Doctor Meng to my yard, and I will receive him in the painting hall."
The butler should be, and hurried to go.
Not long after, Doctor Meng followed the housekeeper to Su Fengnuan's yard with an umbrella.
Su Fengnuan sat in the painting hall and waited for him. Seeing him coming, he invited him to take a seat.
Physician Meng shook the cold air on his body, and cupped his hands to Su Fengnuan, "This old man is not good at medicine, so I can only bother Miss Su again."
Su Fengnuan smiled, poured him a cup of tea, and said kindly, "Doctor Meng, you are being polite. You have done your best to treat Ye Shizi's wounds. Even if you bother me, it's nothing. Is there anything I can do for you? , Just say it straight.”
Physician Meng hurriedly thanked, "Since the young lady said so, the old man will ask for advice unceremoniously."
Su Fengnuan nodded.
Physician Meng was no longer polite, and talked to Su Fengnuan about Ye Chang's injury.
Doctor Meng is the number one chair in the Taiyuan Hospital, so it is not a waste of fame, but naturally he has some real skills. He has been devoted to medical skills all his life, and he is very humble when it comes to medical skills. What's more, with Ye Chang's threat earlier, he asked Su Fengnuan to heal Ye Chang's injury more modestly and cautiously, and he must be kept alive.
This back and forth, as soon as I asked for advice, I asked for it for half a day.
Until it got dark and Mrs. Su came to invite her in person, Imperial Physician Meng still had more to say.
Su Fengnuan discussed with him for half a day, and she was already tired and sleepy, but this doctor Meng was very energetic when talking about medicine, and she was not good at driving people away, let alone showing her impatient appearance, so she just put up with it I endured it for half a day, and it also took half a day of effort.
Seeing that Mrs. Su came, it was already dark, and Doctor Meng came to his senses, and repeatedly said that he was sorry for Su Fengnuan.
Su Fengnuan smiled at her, "Physician Meng is obsessed with studying medicine, no wonder you can sit at the top of the hospital. I also admire your perseverance." After saying that, she thumped her shoulder.
Physician Meng thanked again and again, and planned to leave.
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "The table has been prepared in the front hall, so Doctor Meng will stay at the mansion and have dinner before leaving. It just so happens that Uncle Xiao Guo of the Mansion of the Master is also a guest in this mansion."
Physician Meng repeatedly declined.
Madam Su naturally invited her warmly.
After some hesitation, Imperial Physician Meng couldn't refuse, and kept saying that he was really bothering the young lady and madam, so he stayed and went to the front hall with Mrs. Su and Su Fengnuan.
When Su Fengnuan was leaving the house, he didn't forget to take the box with him.
Come to the front hall, the table has been prepared.
General Su resigned from office, and before returning to Beijing without his official reinstatement, the Su family had been living in a rural place with simple folk customs. Therefore, even if he returned to Beijing, he was not so restrictive about the rules. Therefore, Mrs. Su did not separate the tables for men and women, but only set up one table.
Su Fengnuan and Su Qing naturally sat around Mrs. Su, and Xu Yunchu and Imperial Physician Meng sat opposite the three of them.
Su Qing played chess with Xu Yunchu for half a day, and instead of feeling tired, she was extremely excited. She kept praising Yunchu to Su Fengnuan, "Little girl, you claim to be superb at chess, so I don't know if you can beat brother Yunchu? Otherwise, after dinner, you will play a game with him?"
Su Fengnuan glanced at Xu Yunchu when he heard the words, and seeing him smiling at her, she thumped her shoulder, "I'm so exhausted today, don't you see how I wish I could get out of bed and sleep? He's really my good third brother. "
Su Qing stared, "You have been fighting with people for three days and three nights without feeling tired, and now I haven't seen you for half a day, right? Are you so tired that you're about to collapse?"
Physician Meng quickly said, "It's all my fault that I asked Ms. Su's medical skills. I was greedy for a while and forgot the time. I let him accompany me for more than half a day in medical skills before I got tired."
Su Qing laughed heartily, and cupped her hands to Imperial Physician Meng, "Little girl is usually impatient, but I didn't expect you to be very patient with Imperial Physician Meng."
Physician Meng hurriedly said again, "It's because Ye Shizi's injury is too serious. I don't dare to make the slightest mistake. Ask more carefully. Miss Su is really very patient."
Su Qing blinked, looked at Su Fengnuan and said, "That brat Ye Chang got angry and drove you out of the house after waking up. It's rare that you still have such patience to heal his injuries. Should you say you are heartless? I should say you..."
Su Fengnuan glared at Su Qing, then took his words and said, "Don't look at anything else, for the sake of his face, I should heal him well. Otherwise, if we face each other for a long time, he will always How can I not be pleasing to the eye with the posture of the sick young man?"
Su Qing choked.
