Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 144 The identity of the deceased

Cao Yi looked at his calm and indifferent eyes, hesitated for a long time, and frowned slightly.

"Not yet awake. But Mr. Zhou said that there is no danger of life."

After he finished speaking, he smiled faintly at Fu Jiuqu, "Fortunately, the county king took action in time today, otherwise, Mrs. Zhang might be in trouble tonight."

Fu Jiuqu's complexion did not change, and he hummed calmly.

"You don't need to thank me, it's just a matter of raising your hand to call a doctor for my sister-in-law."

After a pause, he looked at Cao Yi with the tails of his eyes twitching, and said again:
"If Mr. Cao really cares about her, there are some things that need to be planned in advance, so as not to be confirmed in the future."

This sentence is not so well-timed.

Just like Cao Yi suddenly rushed to the Imperial City Division to find someone tonight.

The position of each other is very embarrassing.

"I understand." Cao Yi looked at his cool eyes, glanced at Cao Yilan, and said with a faint smile, "Lan'er is ignorant, and almost caused a catastrophe tonight. Fortunately, we found Wen Zi's body. It can be regarded as making up for one's mistakes, so don't blame her if you re-build the building."

Wen Zi?

Fu Jiuqu lowered his eyebrows, looked at Cao Yilan who was sitting aside and twisted his handkerchief into a knot, and then slowly looked at Cai Qi.

"The identity of the female corpse has been confirmed?"

Cai Qi looked out of his mind, and he came back to his senses only after being questioned.

"Yes. Uncle Guo just saw the female corpse and recognized it as Miss Wen from Du's Incense Shop on Mahang Street..."

Fu Jiuqu suddenly lowered his face, "Why didn't you report it just now?"

Cai Qi was taken aback by his cold tone, and he came to his senses.

"The subordinate is negligent. Just now... I forgot to mention it just now."

Fu Jiuqu looked at him quietly for a moment, then turned his head coldly, and glanced at Cai Qi's face and mouth.

"Go down and change your clothes, take some medicine, and get your brain back."

That pair of piercing eyes glanced over lukewarmly, causing Cai Qi's already cold body to tremble involuntarily, almost dying of fright.

"Yes……"

Fu Jiuqu turned around and went to the mortuary.

Cai Qi bowed his hands to Cao Yi, and left.

Only Cao Yi and Cao Yilan were left in the inner hall.

Cao Yi sighed, "What happened tonight?"

Cao Yilan raised her head, her mouth twitched, "Uncle, it's me, I..."

"What about you?" Seeing her faltering, Cao Yi's expression became serious, "I think there is something wrong between you and that kid Cai Qi. I warn you, your marriage with Chong Lou has been settled, stay away from him!"

"I..." Cao Yilan suddenly lowered her head, almost crying with a bitter face.

"Uncle, it's my fault tonight...but I...but I'm also popular..."

Cao Yi: "Why are you angry?"

Cao Yilan glanced at him, "I saw Brother Jiu hugging that little lady Zhang and being so intimate, he couldn't bear it for a while, so he ran out to drink... Huh! He can talk to this girl in front of so many people." The little widow is getting close, in private, the two of them don't know what's wrong..."

"Bullshit!"

Cao Yi lowered his face, and there was an imperceptible coolness in his eyes, "Ms. Zhang was bitten by a poisonous snake, and Chong Lou came to rescue her. There are so many people in the Imperial City Division, and under the eyes of everyone, what can the two of you do? Narrow, a big girl doesn't know how to restrain herself, drinking in the middle of the night, and rolling into the river, how many people saw you being hugged by Cai Qi wetly? Where do you put Chonglou's face..."

"I didn't know it, and I didn't mean it."

Cao Yilan was coquettish and impatient, her face was blushing when she mentioned Cai Qi.

She was very drunk at the time, but she wasn't totally unimpressed.

Especially under the lights of the Imperial City Division, when the tooth marks on Cai Qi's face and mouth can be clearly seen, the scenes of the two entangled by the river and hugging under the water, and Cai Qi desperately dragging her ashore are even more vivid in my mind.

She was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and she had just begun to fall in love. When I recalled this, I felt ashamed.

"Uncle, do you think Brother Jiu has noticed something too? Will he... Will he refuse to marry me because of this?"

Cao Yi sighed, shook his head and remained silent.

Fu Jiuqu came back soon, accompanied by several subordinates.

Wei Mao talked to him while walking, and when he reached the door, Fu Jiuqu raised his arm slightly, Wei Mao stopped, lowered his head and cupped his hands and said, "Then this subordinate will go down first, and report to the county king after the matter is finished."

Fu Jiuqu hummed.

In the room, Cao Yi gave Cao Yilan a warning look.The latter pursed his lips, and looked eagerly at the golden-looking man in front of him. The black cloak wrapped around him made his jade-like face indifferent and cool, but even more handsome.

Cao Yilan bit her lower lip, feeling sore and sore in her heart.

"Ninth Brother..."

Fu Jiuqu didn't look at her, but nodded at Cao Yi, "The female body has been identified, and it is indeed Wen Zi from Du's Fragrant Medicine Shop on Maxing Street."

Cao Yi sighed when he thought of Xin Yi's efforts to find Wen Zi these days.

"I don't know who died at the hands?"

Fu Jiuqu said indifferently: "There is no conclusion yet, waiting for investigation by the Imperial City Commissioner."

Cao Yi nodded, and exchanged some pleasantries, and the two drank tea without speaking.

The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.

Fu Jiuqu has a bad temper, is eccentric, and doesn't get close to anyone, but he and Cao Yi have known each other since childhood, and they are brothers and sisters. Never has it been so embarrassing.

Cao Yilan held her breath, looked at Fu Jiuqu, then at Cao Yi, knowing that her uncle wouldn't let her talk, but couldn't help it.

"Brother Nine, what happened tonight is my fault, I shouldn't..."

"Miss Cao." Fu Jiuqu put down the teacup and looked at her calmly with patience: "It's getting late, you've been traveling all night, and you've been caught in the cold, so go back and rest earlier."

Cao Yilan sniffed, suppressed the desire to cough, and looked over moved.

"I don't feel bad if Brother Nine cares about me..."

"Cough!" Cao Yi coughed lowly, "Go back, I'll ask Zheng Liu to take you back. Change into your clothes so you can sleep well."

Cao Yilan was reluctant to part with Fu Jiuqu, and did not dare to disobey her uncle's order, so she grudgingly said "oh".

"Then I'll come see you another day..."

There was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps outside the door.

Before Sun Huai's people arrived, the voice of surprise rose.

"Master. Ninth Master, Miss Zhang is awake, awake."

The teacups in Fu Jiuqu's hands made a crisp knocking sound.

He got up too hastily, splashed the tea, and almost knocked over the cup.

But just for a moment, his face froze slightly, he smiled, and returned to that casual look.

"Just wake up. I'm going back home to rest, so I won't visit."

Saying this sentence, it was as if he stood up suddenly because he was going back to the mansion, not because he had listened to Sun Huai's words.

Sun Huai was in a daze, wanting to say something, but Fu Jiuqu had already taken a step forward, slowly put on his cloak, and lightly ordered him to prepare the car.

Then, he turned his head and smiled at Cao Yi.

"It is inconvenient for the Secretary of the Imperial City to accommodate female guests. Mr. Cao has a look at Mrs. Zhang's injury. If it is convenient, take her back."

Sun Huai looked at the master in surprise, with a stiff face.

The little lady who was rescued after all kinds of hardships, let Mr. Cao take it back?
Cao Yi smiled slightly and bowed his hands in salute.

"Thank you, Prince Chengquan."

Fu Jiuqu frowned involuntarily, but he didn't say any more, nodded and strode away.

Cao Yilan glanced at her uncle, lifted her skirt and chased after him.

"Brother Jiu, wait for me, I will go with you."
