Across the Market

Chapter 206

Xie Tong learned from Zhu's family early in the morning that Zhu Nuan had found the news, so he breathed a sigh of relief, sorted out the books on the case, and then got up and went to the county government office.

Zhao Jing has been secretly protecting Xiao Jingbin's family recently, and secretly sent someone to follow Quan Erfu, but Quan Erfu not only worked in the Jingbin Building during the day, but fell asleep after returning home at night. It is simply impossible to get some news from him.

Xie Tong personally ordered someone to find a reliable doctor. After several days of pulse diagnosis, the doctor concluded that Xiao Jingbin was indeed poisoned by poppies.Moreover, it looks like it has reached the point of no cure, and now as long as you don't touch that kind of powder for a day, you will suffer so much that you can't live without it.

This is also the reason why Xie Tong did not arrest Quan Erfu immediately, and also the reason why he continued to secretly take the medicine powder for Xiao Jingbin for the time being.

But he was also worried in his heart, he knew a little bit of medical skills, and he clearly understood Xiao Jingbin's current condition in his heart.

Continuing to take the powder, although it can temporarily relieve the pain, will also double the damage to the body.But if you don't continue to take it, if you don't pay attention, Xiao Jingbin will die.He discussed it with Mrs. Xiao, Mrs. Xiao Chen heard that her husband might die suddenly if he stopped taking this medicine, she was afraid, and only said that since the master is dead on both sides, she still hopes that the master can accompany him more Accompany their mother and child.

No matter how powerful Xie Tong is, he can't handle everything properly, at least, the matter in front of him is very difficult.

On the surface, he was dismissed from office, but secretly, he was an imperial envoy who came to Songyang County to assist Zhao Jing in handling the case.

Before I came here, I thought there was only one case of illegal salt trafficking, but looking at it now, it turned out to be even more difficult.

Just about to go out, he saw Zizhan leading the fourth prince up the stairs, his eyes flashed slightly, and he stopped immediately.When the fourth prince Li Qin came closer, Xie Tong bent down to greet him and said: "Cao Min kowtows to the fourth prince."

"Excuse me." The fourth prince put one hand behind his back, raised the other hand slightly and said, "Is it convenient to talk here?"

Xie Tong straightened his back, his head was still slightly lowered, he glanced at the fourth prince, then turned sideways to make way.

Seeing this, the fourth prince knew what was going on, and then went to Xie Tong's room.

It is a very simple room, except for basic furniture such as beds, tables and chairs, it is just a long desk.The Fourth Prince knew in his heart that Songyang County would definitely not be able to compare with the capital, but he never expected that the conditions of the inn here would be so simple.

The Xie brothers are the descendants of Duke Jing's mansion, the descendants of the aristocratic family, but now they are reduced to the point where they only live in this kind of house?About Xie Tong's appointment as an imperial envoy, he only told Zhao Jing, and even his cousin Zi Zhan only thought that he came to the south of the Yangtze River to relax.

Now that the imperial court has not established a heir, the old man's sword is not old, and the eighth prince has just passed away, the emperor has no intention of discussing the matter of establishing a heir with his courtiers.Although the princes didn't make any troubles about leaving the cabinet publicly, they were tit for tat in private. It's not that the emperor doesn't know, but he just pretends not to know for the time being.

Although Xie Yi was the companion of the fourth prince, the old masters of Duke Jing's mansion have always been loyal to the emperor, so the masters and young masters of Duke Jing's mansion didn't dare to take refuge in anyone, and only kept a low profile. be human.

After entering the house, Xie Dao said: "I don't know that the fourth prince is here, but the grassroots are far away to welcome you, and I ask the fourth prince to forgive me."

Li Qin was looking around at first, and when he heard the sound, he suddenly thought of the purpose of his visit, and immediately changed his face and said: "Well, you Xie Yuanzhan, dare to cover up the murderer who killed the Eighth Prince, if this matter is known to the emperor Now, I think your life, Xie Yuanzhan, can't be saved either."

Xie Yi did not expect that the fourth prince would condemn his elder brother in this way. Although his elder brother offended the saint and was dismissed from office, he was once the most important courtier of the emperor.Besides, my elder brother is quick-witted, thoughtful, prudent and prudent, and he is highly valued by his grandfather...and also highly appreciated by the emperor. Now that he has been dismissed from office, it is because the emperor is still angry, and he may be recalled by an imperial decree sometime Well... how about the fourth prince...

He was worried that the fourth prince would put his elder brother in a more dangerous situation because of his status as a prince, and he was also afraid that his elder brother would be further alienated from the fourth prince because of the fourth prince's words and deeds, so it would be embarrassing for him to be caught in the middle.

Xie Yi reacted quickly, and knelt down on one knee towards Li Qin before Xie Tong.

"Your Highness, please calm down. This matter has nothing to do with elder brother. This matter is Zi Zhan's fault." His handsome face was full of self-blame, and he clasped his fists and said, "If the fourth prince is angry because of this matter, I will punish you." Zizhan, brother really doesn't know."
