According to Qu Liushang, to make corpse water, you must have secret marrow sand. As far as he knows, this secret marrow sand is extremely rare, and there are only two copies left in the Imperial Hospital. Therefore, you only need to go to the Tai Hospital to check the secret marrow sand.
Without further ado, Yan Shi immediately left for the Imperial Hospital. When I arrived at Tai Hospital, a copy of Enchantment Sand really disappeared.
The envoy of the imperial hospital knelt on the ground and trembled with fear: "My lord, my lord. Get down, get down, I deserve to die for the crime of being an official. Pay it back, and ask the lord to forgive me."
Yan Shi sneered: "You deserve death, let me ask you, where is the person who takes care of this secret marrow sand?"
"Already, I have already sent someone to look for it." The court envoy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Please, please, Wang, Wang Ye wait a moment."
Not long after, a servant came to report that he had been found. To be precise, the body had been found, but he died of taking poison.
Yan Shi ordered people to guard the gates of the imperial hospital, strictly forbidding the people inside to go out. He wants to check the people in the Tai Hospital one by one. In fact, the investigation is fake, but the truth is that the snake was lured out of the hole.
Although the drug boy who was in charge of guarding the Yin Meisha died, he didn't know who was meeting him outside. And he is making such a big noise now, just to show those people, let them know that he has found the clue. Now he has sealed off the entire Tai Hospital. People outside don't know what's going on inside, so they will inevitably come to inquire about the news.
Yan Shi sent Sang Yu and several trusted secret guards to ambush around the Tai Hospital. At this time, it depends on who can lose his temper first.
Throughout the afternoon, apart from the servants, only Hua Ling and Qu Liushang were left in Prince Ruiying's mansion.
Yan Shi gave Qu Liushang a small courtyard, and wanted to give him a few more servants to serve him, but he refused.
Qu Liushang took off the original plaque and replaced it with "Yaolu" and hung it up.
When he first arrived here, he still had a lot of things to do. While humming a ditty, he took things out of the medicine box one by one.
The door opened with a "squeak", and a clear male voice came in: "Take care of your treasures, don't let them run around."
Qu Liuzhang didn't lift his head and said: "You said you want to give me the golden toad, where is it?"
"You came too late, Jin Chan won't give you away." Hua Ling spread her hands and sat down with a helpless expression on me.
"Don't, little Lingdang, how could you do this?" Qu Liushang immediately jumped up from the chair, and came to Hualing with a flattering face, "I promised well, you can't go back on my word. I came too late." Is it for you, you have finally become a kiss, I have no choice but to express it, but I went to prepare a gift for you, take a look... "
"If it's those bugs, don't take them out." Hua Ling's words made Qu Liushang's hand holding the small porcelain bottle pause for a moment.
Qu Liushang put the porcelain vase on the table again: "You said you didn't want it, but you promised me the golden toad, so you can't count on what you say."
"Depend on my mood." Hua Ling sat on another chair, tapped her fingers lightly, "Pour tea."
"Okay, okay." Qu Liushang hurriedly ran to pour tea, saw that he drank, and asked eagerly, "My golden toad..."
"What kind of trouble did you encounter along the way?" Hua Ling suddenly changed his sloppy attitude and asked seriously.
Seeing his appearance, Qu Liushang immediately became serious: "I didn't encounter any trouble, I just pretended to be a drug seller, and no one paid attention to me."
Hua Ling nodded: "What happened to that woman today? Did you find her?"
"No, I arrived in the imperial city a few days ago and have been thinking about how to enter the palace." Qu Liushang said, "Then I happened to meet that woman who was tearing up with her husband-in-law on the street. I was so soft-hearted, so I gave the love thread Gu to him. I lost her. You know what happened later. Although my handsome image was damaged by being torn up with women on the street, it was not a loss for me to successfully enter the palace. Only a smart person like me, To turn bad things into good things.”
Hua Ling slapped him across the face: "Let me see how thick your skin is."
"No matter how thick-skinned I am, I can't compare to you," Qu Liushang smiled maliciously, "Little Bell
, I really didn't expect your ability to pretend to be so good, I admire you. Brother—brother—" Qu Liushang imitated Hua Ling calling Yan Shi and called a few times.
Hua Ling swept over and kicked the chair he was sitting on, almost the moment Hua Ling's feet touched the chair legs, Qu Liushang jumped up from the chair and punched Hua Ling's face. go.
Hua Ling did not hide or dodge: "Jin Chan—" the voice rose, and there was a little charm in the voice.
Qu Liushang's fist immediately turned into a palm, and he patted Hua Ling's shoulder like a dog's leg: "There is ashes here, I'll pat you, pat you."
Hua Ling nodded in satisfaction: "Bring your face closer, let me punch you a few times to relieve boredom."
"I'll go!" Qu Liushang immediately covered his face with his hands, "I said, little bell, don't go too far, don't think that I can let you do whatever you want with just a golden toad. But if you want to fight, don't make people look at it." Come out, after all, I am a person who cares about face." Qu Liushang's words in front of him were very righteous, but he became more and more obsequious at the end, and finally put his face in front of Hua Ling.
With a smile, Hua Ling stretched out a fist unceremoniously, shook it in front of him, and retracted it again. Just when Qu Liushang thought that he would not hit him again, he suddenly felt a pain in his stomach, and looked down, it was Hua Ling's hand just now.
Hua Ling smiled eagerly: "You're welcome."
Qu Liushang rubbed his stomach: "I let you beat me too, let's talk about the business. Let me ask you who is that handsome young man?"
Hua Ling picked up a grape and put it in her mouth: "My brother."
Qu Liushang: "..."
"Except for the prince."
"that's me."
Qu Liushang: "..."
Qu Liushang asked Hua Ling for help, so he had to change his rhetoric: "The one who has been by the prince's side, the one in white clothes."
"Ah—I see—" Hua Ling looked suddenly enlightened, Qu Liushang's eyes lit up instantly, looking forward to it, Hua Ling glanced at him, stood up from the chair, and walked out, "But why should I Tell you?"
"You bitch! Bitch!" Qu Liushang casually picked up a medicine bottle and hit Hua Ling's back, but unfortunately he didn't touch him at all.
When it was getting dark, Yan Shi, who was still in the Imperial Hospital, waited for a person—the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.
After the two parties met the ceremony, the Minister of the Ministry of Criminal Justice said straight to the point that he was here to take over the disappearance case.
Yan Shi frowned slightly: "The Dali Temple investigates the case, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice reviews it. This is the historical rule. I don't know what you mean, Mr. Zhao?"
The Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments called Zhao Wenju, who belonged to the party of King Zhao, and had a relationship with Yan Shi as a superior and subordinate in the court. Naturally, he didn't pay much attention to Yan Shi, but there was still work to be done on the surface: "The prince just got married. How can you bother to solve the case in the imperial city while you are still resting? It’s the same if you hand it over to me.”
"Then I'll thank Mr. Zhao," Yan Shi agreed happily, "Let's go."
People from Dali Temple quickly evacuated from the Imperial Hospital, and people from the Ministry of Punishment quickly came in.
"Ah, brother, you came back so early!" Hua Ling ran over as soon as he saw Yan Shi, flapping his wings like a happy bird, "Is there any conclusion to the case? Have you found out who the murderer is?"
"Not yet," the moment Yan Shi saw Hualing, the haze that lingered in Yan Shi's heart suddenly dissipated miraculously, "Let's put this case aside for now, Qingyue and I have other things to do tomorrow."
"Brother has something to do with Young Master Qingyue again," Hua Ling said a little helplessly, "Can you take me with you?"
Yan Shi thought for a while that it was a private matter, so he agreed.
The next day, in the carriage.
Hua Ling lifted the curtain to look outside, the carriage had already moved. He lowered the curtains, and asked Yan Shi who was sitting opposite: "Aren't we waiting for Mr. Qingyue?"
Yan Shi smiled and said: "It's rare to come out with Ming Ting, so I won't bring him along."
Hua Ling blushed a little, lowered her head: "Brother—"
about
After a quarter of an hour, it stopped immediately.
Hua Ling got off the horse, looked at the plaque in front of him and read: "Zhangfu?"
"Brother, what are we doing here?" Hua Ling hurriedly pushed aside Qing Ji who was about to help Yan Shi get off the carriage, quickly stretched out his hand, and helped him get off.
Yan Shi looked at the door of the mansion, showing a meaningful smile: "The position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment should be replaced by someone else."
Qingji explained his intention to the porter of Zhang's mansion, and the porter rushed into the mansion to report. Not long after, the mansion was opened, and two young and handsome sons came out from the inside.
When the two men saw Yan Shi, they immediately saluted and said, "I don't know that the prince and concubine are here in a big way, but I hope you will forgive me."
"You don't need to be too polite," Yan Shi said, "Today, the king of Ben hastily came here to invite Mr. Zhang. Don't blame Mr. Shen."
Zhang Yuxin smiled and said: "Where is the prince talking, please come into the mansion quickly."
"Huh? It's you?" Hua Ling suddenly said to the young master who was following Zhang Yuxin.
Shen Chenbi looked at Hua Ling carefully and was startled: "Are you the one in the imperial garden?"
Hua Ling nodded again and again, kindly like meeting an old friend in a foreign land: "It's me, it's me."
Yan Shi smiled and said, "Ming Ting, do you know each other?"
Hua Ling explained: "That day when I was enjoying the flowers in the imperial garden, this young gentleman was also there, and we met once."
Xu was because they were both husbands and wives, Hua Ling was very happy to see Shen Chenbi, and chatted with him cheerfully.
When they reached the lobby, after the two parties sat down, Yan Shi looked at Shen Chenbi and said, "I don't know how Master Shen thinks of Master Zhao?"
Shen Chenbi sneered: "It's just a straw bag."
A smile appeared on Yan Shi's lips: "Then Master Shen is willing to replace him?"
Both Zhang and Chen are officials in the court, Zhang Yuxin is in the Hanlin Academy, and Shen Chenbi is a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment.
Now the battle between King Zhao, King Ding and King Mu for the throne is clearly on the table. Most of the ministers in the court would choose a prince to take the position, but Mrs. Zhang and Shen did not choose any prince. Yan Shi had contact with these two people before, and the two were very talented. Now the former is trying to win over .
