In Linhua County in April, the weather is getting warmer, but there is still a hint of chill.
Especially in the early morning and evening, the temperature is very low and the cool breeze blows. Even strong men cannot guarantee that they will not catch a cold. However, at noon, the temperature will rise again. Such repeated temperature differences will lead to the recent fever. There are many patients.
In Dr. Zhao's medical clinic, several patients had arrived at this time. Their pulses were being checked and they were waiting to receive medicine after diagnosis.
"Something happened. The Ye's Book Store was surrounded by businessmen. I'm afraid someone died inside!" About halfway before the incense stick, a regular customer ran in and said to Doctor Zhao.
Judging from the meaning, it seems that he wants to get some inside information from Mr. Zhao.
Doctor Zhao felt that there was something fishy about this matter and smiled disdainfully: "I just came back from there. Although Boss Ye is seriously ill, he is only seriously ill and dying. He will not die for a while. Even if he does die, it will be a normal death. How can he attract tolerance?"
"Maybe someone else died there," the man said.
Doctor Zhao didn't believe it at all. Boss Ye never had any grudges with others and had a very good temper. In addition, Su Ziji and Ye Buhui were also back. What could happen now?
But when I walked out of the hospital and looked around from a distance, I saw a circle of tolerance officers surrounding the building, and heard people shouting inside.
Only then did Zhao Langzhong marvel at the fact that Su Ziji, a scholar who knows people but not their hearts, actually killed someone. When he discovered that Su Ziji had not been arrested, he suddenly became suspicious.
Although he didn't dare to get close, he couldn't help but look around and saw a few other people talking to Su Ziji. A man looked majestic and looked like he had official power.
"What on earth is going on?" Even the gossiping neighbors were puzzled when they saw this scene.
Su Ye's family was not far away. When they saw Su Zi had entered Su's house and came out, many people dispersed quickly. Only Mr. Zhao remained standing and asked, "Did something happen to Boss Ye?"
Su Ziji lowered his eyes and sighed: "Uncle Ye was killed by a thief. I'm going to the coffin shop to buy a coffin to bury him in."
"Scared! Is this possible?" Zhao Langzhong thought of the servants who had just surrounded him. He immediately believed this and sighed: "This thief is really hateful! Has he been caught?"
I felt bad in my heart, the neighbors were really talking nonsense, it was obviously a thief who killed me, and they even said it was Su Ziji who killed him, but luckily I didn't believe it.
"The thief has been killed." Su Ziji said simply.
Doctor Zhao immediately thought that the official went in and killed the thief, and he was greatly relieved. If the thief was not caught, he would have to close the door in advance to avoid being caught by thieves too.
"If you need help, call me at any time." Knowing that manpower is needed for funeral arrangements, Zhao Langzhong said immediately. Su Ziji quickly thanked him and accepted the favor before continuing to the coffin shop.
"Little Marquis, since the bloodline has been confirmed, why don't you recognize it?" Gao Yaochen asked in confusion as he saw Su Ziji walking away to the coffin shop.
"Because this is related to the bloodline of the prince and the inheritance of the country!" Fang Zhen looked away and sighed heavily: "When I was ordered to leave, my father told me that I should handle the errands seriously, be cautious, and be more cautious. .”
Fang Zhen's expression became a little melancholy, he stood up, looked at his hands behind his back, and said, "It's raining again outside... Seriously, even if it's really the blood of the prince, his surname is Su or Ji now, let me ask You, I am a foreign minister, can I recognize my relatives on behalf of the emperor?"
"Whether we recognize him or not, how he recognizes him, or whether he wants to return to his original surname is not something we foreign ministers can say more about."
Gao Yaochen was suddenly horrified. He sighed for a long time and said, "Little Marquis, you think of me as your confidant and that's why you said this to me. I was wrong."
"That's the big thing, but there's also the small thing!" Fang Zhen took a breath and said slowly: "The small thing is, this bloodline is too thin."
"Little Marquis, is there something wrong with this bloodline?" Gao Yaochen was really suffocated. If he did this wrong, his family would be confiscated and his family would be destroyed.
"It's not wrong, but it's too thin." Fang Zhen continued. Seeing that he was still puzzled, he sighed. This man was knowledgeable, but he was too knowledgeable: "You should know the legal principles of bloodline identification?"
"Xiaguan once entered the Imperial Academy and served as a valet for several months. He does know."
"Most of the emperors and nobles are inherited from their ancestors by destiny. They are hereditary. Wealth and honor are passed down through the bloodline, so they can be identified."
"Although officials and gentry are also rich and noble, their rise and fall depends on the individual and cannot be inherited, so it cannot be identified by this method."
Fang Zhen nodded. To put it bluntly, hereditary succession can be checked, but for ordinary officials, even if they reach the prime minister, the next generation may not be an official and cannot be passed down.
"So, this person must have the clan bloodline, but it is too thin. The prince's bloodline should not be so little." The golden color is normal. Even if it is the prince himself, he does not have a title. Just this quality, if it were a few generations later, it would be There are only red lines - the so-called yellow belt and red belt.
Only then did Gao Yaochen understand what Fang Zhen meant, and he said calmly: "Little Marquis, I don't think this is wrong. Even though he is of the prince's blood, the prince was framed and committed suicide behind closed doors. Although there was no explicit decree to depose the prince. The title is actually broken."
"Now the prince's bloodline is just a member of the clan, or even worse."
"It's normal to be rarer."
Fang Zhen went to the window to breathe in the crisp air and said, "So, I don't dare to be suspicious. I can only report the situation and wait for the decision from the higher authorities."
"Oh, the young Marquis is really wise!" Gao Yaochen woke up from a dream and took a look in admiration. The credit may be small, but the most important thing is safety. As expected, the inheritance of the Marquis Mansion is not simple.
"Let the county government official inspect the scene. This is an incidental case and it must be handled cleanly without any mistakes." Fang Zhenrong said: "Tell them to hurry up. Chief Su will definitely come to collect money." The corpse cannot be delayed or neglected.”
"Now, Chief Su is more than just a scholar."
It had only been 30 years since the founding of Dazheng, and Taizu's descendants were not many. Even if they were not recognized as being of the prince's bloodline, the clan alone could not neglect them.
"Yes!" Gao Yaochen responded immediately. He was a sixth-grade official, and it was natural for him to order inspections and arrests. He gave orders immediately, and the whole scene became busy.
Gao Yaochen said to the inspector again: "Mr. Ji, you go and follow the head of the case Su. There may be some thieves who have not been eliminated. We must ensure safety."
"Also, if you are harmed by thieves in broad daylight, the government is also responsible. If you have any expenses, you can help bear them."
Seeing the inspector's open mouth, knowing that this was nonsense and there were no such rules, Gao Yaochen said: "You go ahead and I will reimburse all expenses."
"Yes, I'll go now." Ji Min closed his mouth and responded immediately. He was only a ninth-grade official and couldn't know the inside story, but he immediately realized something was wrong.
This Su case is not simple!
At that moment, Ji Min called out to two people and quickly followed them.
