Bianjing little doctor

Chapter 201
Fu Jiuqu walked in quickly.

All the clerks and patients in the pharmacy crowded outside to watch the prisoners parade. Only Zhou Daozi was sitting there talking with an old man with handicapped legs. To stand up and salute, Fu Jiuqu opened the curtain like the wind, bent down and walked inside.

Zhou Daozi sat back and stroked his beard.

There was no one in the back room, because Xin Yi opened the windows wide during the renovation, so there was no need to hold a lamp during the day, and the light was very bright.

Fu Jiuqu didn't see Xin Yi in the inner room, he hesitated for a moment, and walked up the wooden ladder to the second floor.

Xin Yi lived upstairs, and a platform was built outside the bedroom, overlooking the river view of the Wuzhang River.

Fu Jiuqu hadn't been there since the construction was completed.

He walked lightly, and walked slowly outside Xin Yi's door.

The door of the room was ajar, no one could be seen inside, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Fu Jiuqu raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and tapped twice.

Xin Yi's voice came from inside.

"Is it my beloved? I'm fine. Don't worry about me. Just leave me alone for a while."

Fu Jiuqu frowned, and knocked twice.

He didn't use much strength, but the wooden door was pushed open with a creak.

Xin Yi was lying on a deck chair on the platform in unlined clothes, a robe was loosely draped over his shoulders, and a piece of fragrant shoulders and jade skin were exposed, holding a thread-bound book in his hand, and his two white feet were raised up. On a footstool, he was swaying, and when he heard the movement, he turned around with a little dissatisfaction.

"I said I'm fine..."

Before her voice fell, she saw Fu Jiuqu standing at the door.

"The king of the county?"

Xin Yi's lying posture was completely unpretentious. Just now she entered the house and ran too fast, she was sweating all over, so she took off her coat and shoe collar, smiled embarrassedly when she saw this, quickly pulled up her clothes, put down her feet, took off her shoes and got up salute.

"Why is the county king here?"

Fu Jiuqu glanced aside before he dared to stare at her abruptly.

Hearing this, he turned around.

There was no trace of sullenness on her face, more nervousness.

Fu Jiuqu's expression was a little relaxed, "I was too serious just now."

Xin Yi stared at him in surprise, put down the book and walked to the door, looked at him and smiled, "So? What is the king here for?"

Fu Jiuqu lowered her dark eyes, and looked at her boudoir, which was unique in its style and furnishings. A faint light flashed in her eyes, and she let out a hum from her nostrils.

"I thought I offended my sister-in-law, so I'm here to apologize."

Xin Yi glanced at him, the corners of his lips twitched slightly, and said apologetically, "I was the one who was impulsive just now, and I shouldn't stop the county king in the street to say such things. I should apologize."

Fu Jiuqu: "Aren't you angry?"

Xin Yi tilted his head, "Why should I be angry?"

Fu Jiuqu hesitated for a moment: "My tone is not good."

Xin Yi's heart jumped, and he teased disapprovingly: "You are the king of the county. Isn't it right to say anything? Besides, I'm not that stingy."

"lie."

"..."

Seeing his serious appearance, Xin Yi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said in a low voice, "But I wasn't talking nonsense just now. I have been with Na Human before, and I know her a little bit. She is not the kind of heinous person. I really don't know her." What did you do to be executed?"

Fu Jiuqu raised his eyebrows, "Who said she was going to be executed?"

Xin Yi was stunned.

It seems to be a consensus that after being paraded in the street, they are sent to the execution ground for execution. When the husband said that, she believed it without thinking carefully.

Is it...

"Isn't Da Song parading through the streets an execution, is he going to a feast?"

The corners of Fu Jiuqu's lips curled slightly, amused by her witty rhetorical question.

"Of course Du Zhongqing will be executed, but Hu Man..."

He hesitated for a moment, then looked at Xin Yi and pondered for a while.

"Sin does not lead to death."

Xin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, "Then why did the king let Hu Man parade through the streets, and why did he send her to the execution ground?"

"Accompany Du Zhongqing for a ride, and then watch him ask for a behead."

Fu Jiuqu took it for granted, Xin Yi listened to what he said, and nodded as if he had realized it, "I am superficial. Seeing the appearance of the county king, it seems that there are other plans?"

Fu Jiuqu hummed, and didn't want to say more, but seeing the curiosity in Xin Yi's eyes, he paused for a moment, slightly lifted the corner of his robe, sat down on a wooden chair outside her door, and said slowly.

"Human is not guilty of death, but she did become an accomplice of Du Zhongqing. The method of refining the body fragrance of young girls was made by her. It was originally a unique recipe of the saint of Chenla, and Du Zhongqing used it This method refines Xiangnv."

After training, Xiangnv either wins over dignitaries, or uses them to coerce and lure them, making them her own. Since then, she has created a huge network of relationships from Shouzhou to the capital.

Xin Yi stared at him and thought for a moment, "They? Who are they? Are there really only He Xu and Shi Tang behind the spice case?"

Under her gaze, Fu Jiuqu's eyes dimmed.

"Shi Tang is in charge of collecting spices and making fragrant girls, and He Xu is responsible for the counterfeiting, selling and bribery. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the back is pointing to the Zhang family, but neither Shi Tang nor He Xu said anything. There is a lack of evidence."

"Aren't they willing to tell?"

"After the two were imprisoned, they both cooperated very well and confessed their crimes, but...there is still no more sufficient evidence to testify against Zhang's family."

Fu Jiuqu pondered for a while, and his eyes darkened again, "What's more, the officials don't think Zhang Yaozhuo is suspected of committing the crime."

The so-called love of the house and the black, from Zhao Zhen's point of view, the Zhang family has high status and power and is favored, so there is no need to do such a thing.He preferred to believe that it was Shi Tang and He Xu's personal actions.

"It's not unreasonable." Xin Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said calmly: "It's just that the officials have overlooked one point. What they want is not the money they can earn from manufacturing and selling counterfeit goods, but...the actual benefits that can be obtained by forming a party for personal gain."

She looked at Fu Jiuqu and smiled slightly.

"For example - the decision-making power in the matter of the Crown Prince."

This has always been the case with power struggles since ancient times.

Zhang's high position and power have everything, but a person is extremely cold at a high place. The more he gets, the more he is afraid of losing, the more people he offends, the more he is afraid of being retaliated. Lost in an instant because of falling out of favor.

What the Zhang family wants to cultivate is the power in the court.

Even if Concubine Zhang Guifei fails to produce a prince in the end, the next crown prince will be someone they personally support...

Only in that way can this honor and favor continue, generation after generation, with constant shelter.

Xin Yi's analysis is very clear, but most of it comes from the previous education and the history he has seen.She felt that this was a truth that everyone would understand, but she didn't know how shocking it was for a little widow to express such an opinion in the Song Dynasty.

Fu Jiuqu's eyes were full of ups and downs.

After Xin Yi finished speaking, he saw him staring at him motionless, doubts seemed to flow in his stern star eyes, then he pursed his lips and said with a smile:
"I'm talking nonsense, the king just needs to listen to it. Go and do your work. I'm heartbroken when I learn that Hu Man will not be executed."

Fu Jiuqu asked her in a low voice, "Why are you being so nice to a stranger?"

Xin Yi was startled.

It's hard to say, probably because she participated in the planning?I knew the girl of the fox demon in advance and felt sympathy for her.

She hesitated for a moment, "I saved her, but she is pregnant again, I can't bear to..."

"Sister-in-law is kind." Fu Jiuqu concluded for her, patted the chair, "I'm leaving."

The words went too fast, Xin Yi was stunned, then smiled and pulled the clothes on his shoulders.

"Jun Wang, go slowly. When you are free, I have something to say to you..."

Fu Jiuqu glanced at her, "What's the matter?"

Xin Yi smiled, "I can't explain clearly in a few words. When you come to see the child someday, I will prepare a table of dishes. After eating, we will talk slowly."

Fu Jiuqu nodded, and when he went downstairs, he suddenly looked back.

"I'm free tonight."

Then, strode away.
