Early the next morning, Kong Changhui came and knocked on Bingwen's door, each one more urgent than the last.
With a sleepy face, Bingwen opened the door a crack and asked feebly: "What are you doing so early in the morning?"
"Didn't you have an appointment with someone early in the morning?" Kong Changhui asked confidently.
"Then you can't go there at dawn. Dali Temple hasn't opened yet." Bingwen replied angrily.
Just as he was about to close the door and sleep for a while, he saw Kong Changhui put his feet on the crack of the door and said, "I'm going to wake you up at this moment. You should get up and wash up and have breakfast. When we go to Dr. Xiang's place, it's time to It’s time. Then we’ll go to Dali Temple together, isn’t the time just right?”
"Don't read it, don't read it, I'm afraid. Why don't I get up?" Bingwen raised his hands in surrender, and opened the door resignedly.
Amidst Kong Changhui's chattering, Bingwen quickly cleaned his face and followed Kong Changhui to the backyard pavilion.
Jiao Shi had already placed breakfast on the stone table. Now that it was early summer, the cool morning breeze blew against Bingwen's face, blowing away all the remaining sleepiness of Bingwen.
Kong Changhui saw that Bingwen was full of energy and couldn't help but smile: "Look, the air in the morning is so fresh and pleasant. You sleep until three o'clock in the morning every day. It's been a long time since you have seen the morning sun."
This is true, except that the letter in the early morning of Xia Chu made him wake up early.
In the past, Bingwen was used to going to bed late and getting up late.
"Why didn't you call Jie Jiming and Shi Zhongfei together?" Bingwen asked while eating.
"Hey, I don't know how to speak. If he asked him something, if I accidentally let it slip, I would have dragged them into the water for nothing." Kong Changhui still thinks that this case is a thankless case. Things that offend people.
He always acted like he was facing a powerful enemy and looked forward to death.
Bingwen shook his head, not knowing how to explain it, so he simply ate without talking or sleeping.
In fact, this cannot be blamed on Kong Changhui, he has never experienced any bizarre events.
I have been studying diligently since I was a child. After many years of poverty, I went to Beijing to rush for the exam. After winning the gold medal, I compiled the book carefully.
For a long time, Bingwen had lived a normal life, and was suddenly dragged into such an old case. He was inevitably frightened and uneasy.
After the two of them finished eating, they got up and went out to Dr. Xiang's house.
After Bingwen knocked on the door this time, the waiter immediately opened the door with a smile and said to him: "Mr. Xiang has been waiting for you all morning. Come in quickly."
Bingwen nodded and then entered Xiang's house with Kong Changhui. Xiang Chengfang had dressed neatly early in the morning. At this time, he finally waited for them. After bowing, he said, "I've been waiting for you two for a long time."
The two of them bowed in return, and Bingwen smiled and said, "Then let's go now?"
Xiang Chengfang made a gesture of invitation and led the two of them out of the house again.
After leaving the house, Bingwen led the way.
"Is Dr. Xiang ready for breakfast?" Kong Changhui greeted Xiang Chengfang.
"Have you used it? Have you both used it?" Xiang Chengfang continued to exchange greetings.
Both of them nodded.
"I wonder where we are going now?" Xiang Cheng just realized that he didn't even know where to go to check.
"Dali Temple." Bingwen replied.
"Who is the deceased?" Xiang Chengfang asked casually.
Kong Changhui twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at Bingwen.
"It's better not to ask, Dr. Xiang, for now. I'll explain it to you in detail after the examination." Bingwen hesitated.
Xiang Chengfang didn't care. He just asked casually, but seeing that Bingwen was inconvenient to answer, he stopped asking.
Kong Changhui changed the subject, and the three of them chatted slowly towards Dali Temple.
When the group of people arrived at the door, the three of them looked at each other. Bingwen's eyes signaled Kong Changhui to go up and announce his home.
Kong Changhui had no choice but to take a step forward and said to the officers and soldiers: "Kong Changhui, editor of the Hanlin Academy, wants to see Mr. Hu."
Xiaobing glanced at him, then turned to Bingwen and Xiang Chengfang, and asked them politely: "Is there Mr. Bingwen among the two of you?"
"That's right." Bingwen took a step forward after hearing this.
"Master Bingwen, please come this way. Mr. Hu knows you are coming and has been waiting for you for a long time." The officers and soldiers immediately smiled on their faces and made an invitation gesture to lead the way.
Kong Changhui and Xiang Chengfang looked at each other and followed.
"When did you and Mr. Hu make an appointment?" Kong Changhui took two steps quickly and asked Bingwen's ear.
Bingwen shook his head, he had no idea.
Hu Yingmao was also a good person. He threw this hot potato to him, guessing that he would be next. He probably ordered the officers and soldiers at the door early in the morning to wait for him to deal with the corpse.
Kong Changhui saw Bingwen shaking his head and didn't hesitate to ask more questions, so he followed him all the way to the front hall.
The three of them all bowed to Hu Yingmao, and Kong Changhui and Xiang Chengfang announced their identities respectively.
"Kong Changhui, editor of the Imperial Academy, has met Mr. Hu."
"Xiang Chengfang, the imperial doctor of Xiaguan Tai Hospital, has met Mr. Hu."
"No need to be polite." Hu Yingmao nodded and looked at the two of them a few more times.
An editor also came to join in this troubled waters
And that Xiang Chengfang, as a member of the Imperial Hospital, dared to intervene in this case
I'm quite brave...
Although Hu Yingmao was puzzled in his heart, his face remained calm. He smiled at Bingwen and said, "Mr. Bingwen, let's go to Lengjiao now?"
Good guy, this Hu Yingmao is really adapting to the situation.
It turned out that this corpse was the younger brother of the Nine Admirals, and he was sent from the morgue to the cold cellar.
Kong Changhui still doesn’t know the special nature of cold cellar.
Therefore, he stood aside with a calm expression.
But Xiang Chengfang knew that those who could get into the cold cellar were all officials.
But I haven't heard of any adults passing away recently, and it was this kind of murder that should not be tolerated in the world.
"Is the corpse an adult?" Xiang Chengfang asked with panic in his heart.
Hu Yingmao was delighted when he heard this. It turned out that Imperial Physician Xiang was not a coward, but simply didn't know about it. He was tricked by Bingwen.
In this case, he couldn't expose Bingwen, so he had to say to Xiang Chengfang: "No, it's a white body. Isn't this because Mr. Bingwen wants to investigate, so for proper preservation, I sent him to the cold cellar." middle."
Seeing Xiang Chengfang's original appearance, Bingwen didn't say much and said to Hu Yingmao: "Master Hu, please invite me."
Hu Yingmao called Chu Tang over and introduced the three of them: "This is the Chu Tang who handled the body of Prince Hui. The body was inspected by him before, so let him lead the way."
Upon hearing this, Chu Tang bowed and went to lead the way.
The group came to the open space at the back door of Dali Temple, and Xiang Chengfang sighed.
He also came on the day Prince Hui had his caesarean section.
It's a pity that we can't even squeeze into this open space.
Now he was about to go into the cold cellar, which was a cold cellar that only officials of fifth rank and above could enter that day.
In my heart, I was very excited for a moment...
