Jin Palace.
Doctor Wu was performing acupuncture to detoxify the sleeping Cao Xian. Doctor Zhang, who was standing behind Chu Chengyao, put his feet up and stretched his neck to take a look.
Seeing Dr. Wu's smooth acupuncture skills, Dr. Zhang's eyes gleamed. It was in vain that he begged the prince to come in and observe. The medical skills of Cang Sheng Mountain were indeed well-deserved.
Doctor Wu retracted the needle and wrote a prescription. Doctor Zhang squeezed Meng Jie away, with a bright and flattering smile, and diligently stepped forward to wait for the writing.
Chu Chengyao spoke to Song Yi on the side, and was called away by a message from the Ministry of Punishment.
Without Chu Chengyao here, Doctor Zhang no longer had any scruples and handed the prescription he prescribed to Cao Xian to Doctor Wu for advice humbly.
Doctor Wu read the prescription carefully, and paused for a moment on Doctor Zhang's face, then pointed out the shortcomings in the prescription. Doctor Zhang felt as if he had found a treasure, and even more respectfully pestered Doctor Wu for advice.
Prison Department of Punishment.
The man, whose skin was torn and covered in blood, saw that Chu Chengyao and the Minister of Punishment were in full condition, and he cried bitterly and begged for mercy, shouting for his life.
Quan Quan handed the man's confession to Chu Chengyao:
"Your Highness, this man's name is Xue Mo. He is the steward of the side door of the Duke's Mansion. When he was monitoring the Duke's Mansion, he found that he was running away overnight with Xue Ruan, so he was captured. According to his confession, he saw Xue Ren, He pretended to be a servant of Hong'an Bo Mansion and seriously injured Chen Xiao, but he ran away because he was afraid that Qin Zongliang would kill him."
Chu Chengyao looked at Xue Mo and said calmly:
"Are you from the Xue family?"
"Returning to Your Highness Prince Jin, the younger one is from a side branch of the Xue family. He and the Xue family have only not been together for five years, so they are really not close to each other. The villain is running away just to survive. I beg Your Highness to let the villain go."
Chu Chengyao: "Xue Ren is a personal attendant of the Prince of Qin. How can you, a small steward, see Xue Ren commit murder and hurt people?"
"That day, I had a drinking date with the shopkeeper of the Duke's Mansion. I met him by chance. The shopkeeper died suddenly within two days, so I ran away."
After leaving the prison, Quan Qi said:
"When I caught Xue Mo, I thought that whether it was true or false, it would cause some trouble for the Duke's government, so I immediately gave His Majesty a hint. I have sent people to verify what Xue Mo said, and it is indeed true. He What you say is credible.”
Chu Chengyao: "You did an excellent job. Since it is credible, let's investigate and treat his injuries before letting him die. It is said that Qin Zongheng was seriously injured. It is a good time to investigate the case while the Duke's office is distracted. , Chen Yushi has learned about Xue Mo’s words and has already given the father an impeachment tip. As long as it is verified, he will kill the Qin family. "
Quan Quan responded and added: "A thorough investigation of Sun Jian who was with His Highness King Qin found that although he was nearby when Zhu Dianhua's case occurred, he had no chance to take action. The suspicion can basically be ruled out."
Chu Chengyao: "Bring him out after you find out. I will personally send him to Prince Qin's Mansion just to repair the relationship with my third brother."
Prince Qin's Mansion.
Watching the doctor giving Sun Jian the medicine, Sun Jian remained silent. On the contrary, Jia Yu had a gloomy face and her brows never relaxed.
After giving the medicine, the servants helped Sun Jian put on his clothes. Jia Yu helped him sit down by the bed, pulled the soft pillow over and helped Sun Jian lie down.
Sun Jian grinned, pulling at the whip marks on his cheek, and then suppressed his smile due to the pain:
"I am the one who is being tortured. Why are you crying so hard?"
Jia Yu took the medicine bowl handed by the servant, sent the servant away, and then said guiltily:
"If I hadn't taken Brother Sun to drink near the place where the crime occurred that night, Brother Sun wouldn't have been involved in this senseless disaster. It's really shameless to see Brother Sun again."
"It makes no sense to say that. That night when we were in the middle of the conversation, we proposed a drink. You even tried to stop me. I insisted on you finding a place. Plus, the Duke's mansion had malicious intentions and added insult to injury. How can I blame you? "
