Later, near dusk, Ji Xuan came over. At that time, Tan Sihan was awake and half sitting on the bed, while Bai Xi was already asleep on the couch, snoring slightly.
He only stayed for about half an hour and then left. After that, he listened to what Qin Sihan said and imprisoned Bai Qin and Bai Ruozhao together.
I don’t know what the two people said, but in the middle of the night, Bai Ruozhao told the truth,
It is said that the reason why he did that kind of thing to the common people was because he wanted to take advantage of the family members, but nothing was done in time.
They have verified that many people's family members have received letters, but they didn't believe it before and the court didn't dare to tell them. Now that the case has been solved, they will naturally explain it clearly.
In this way, the case is completely solved.
Imperial Physician Lu, Ji Xuan and Tong Ruoqi came to Tan Sihan's place together, while Fang Wu stayed in the Yamen for a while to make the final touches.
"How do you feel, Master?"
There were stars outside, and it was early in the morning.
Bai Xi was still asleep, but not very soundly, while Mu Qing was sitting on the beam, his eyes dull.
This question was asked by Tong Ruoqi, but there was no change in his face, as if he asked normally.
"I just feel so weak." He spoke with trembling in his words, as if these words were enough to make him spend all his energy.
"Now, are you all going to go your separate ways? I won't send them away. Master Tong, please go back and take the prisoners back."
He knew that Tong Ruoqi's reason for coming was probably to ask him to stay, but how could he let him stay.
Not to mention that His Majesty Jingzhong has agreed, even if he doesn't agree, he won't be allowed to stay.
Next, although the imperial doctors are coming, it does not mean that he will keep Tong Ruoqi.
He knows that the latter is not bad, but he is not a trustworthy person after all, and he cannot make full use of it. If he finds out and reports it back to the capital, although the emperor will not do anything, even though it is a crime of deceiving the emperor, what about others?
, the more people know about it, the more dangerous it will be. If someone with an intention is allowed to take advantage of the opportunity,
At that time, even if there was an antidote in hand, it was no different than having no antidote, so I had to be careful.
Tong Ruoqi agreed, but he did not dare to force him to stay. He remained silent and said: "Young master, please be careful and don't let any more accidents happen."
Qin Sihan frowned and said nothing.
Ji Xuan said, "I don't know how this poison got into the young master's daily food and drink. Do you want to check the people around you?"
"No need. I am a human being, not a god. The front and back are not as good as in the palace. No one is watching. Who knows when someone will come in?" Tan Sihan refused without hesitation.
His only person is Bai Xi, so he naturally believes it. After decades of use, what could go wrong?
As for the others? That belongs to Bai Xi. As long as he believes it, he will believe it.
"I……"
"I don't have to worry about this, Master Ji. You just have to worry about the yamen." Seeing what Ji Xuan wanted to say, Qin Sihan simply interrupted.
The words he spoke were somewhat hoarse, and although each word was continuous, it still made people feel uncomfortable.
Ji Xuan didn't want to say anything more, so she just nodded.
Indeed, he has no capital and no position to dictate matters here.
It was at this time that Fang Wu ran in and patted the door eagerly: "Is there anyone inside?"
She saw that there was no one in the two houses opposite, so she came here helplessly.
Zhang Xuan and Wang Qi had gone to distribute the people in the past few days and were not in the yamen for a while. Therefore, it was Jixuan and several officials from Fanzhizhou who were doing things in the yamen.
At this time, officials from other states and counties also left.
However, Ye Zhuqing and Zhou Ze did not leave. It was Zhou Ze who was in the Yamen at this time.
"come in."
Bai Xi was also quarreled. Seeing that Tan Sihan agreed, he spoke.
While sitting up and pulling his collar, Fang Wu came over almost at the same time as Jin Qian.
Fang Wu was panting, facing Ji Xuan, and had no time to be polite to everyone, so he only said: "Master, a man came from the yamen. Looking at a little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old, he said that he was from Hualou.
Yes, the blood all over her body killed the madam."
Her words were incoherent and rushed out of sequence, but everyone still understood.
"Master Ji, go quickly." Tan Sihan said.
Ji Xuan nodded and followed Fang Wu out. Doctor Lu watched Qin Sihan take the medicine and then went out.
Only Tong Ruoqi and Tan Sihan were left in the house.
"Master Tong, please don't alarm the capital first about this matter." He was referring to what Fang Wu had just said about the death of the madam in Hualou.
Tong Ruoqi nodded,
"If something like this happens, I guess no one will have time to see Master Tong off. Master Tong will take the case file and the prisoner to Beijing early in the morning. I think my people in Beijing have already been arranged for you. When you arrive,
All you have to do is give an explanation. Of course, if someone asks you about my situation, you can just tell me what you know." Seeing this, Qin Sihan continued.
His eyes were full of exhaustion.
Tong Ruoqi nodded and resigned, and everyone left.
Mu Qing, who was on the beam, fell to the ground, but did not make a sound. He knelt down and raised the thing in his hand above his head, hanging it next to Qin Sihan's hand and said: "Master, this is what my subordinates are going to do from your house."
Do you think you want the stolen portrait?"
Qin Sihan took it with trembling hands, unfolded it slowly and said, "This is it, Bai Xi, take it off, and send it back when you turn around, so be quick."
He ordered.
After saying that, he gave the things to Bai Xi, and Bai Xi gave them to Mu Qing. After explaining a few words, the latter went out.
He then helped Qin Sihan sleep while he watched over...
Among the yamen,
The sound of crying and crying is endless,
When Fang Wu and Ji Xuan entered one after another, the first thing they heard was crying. As for what the girl said, they didn't know.
"Did you say anything?"
Ji Xuan asked.
"I didn't say anything. I've been crying since I came here," Zhou Ze said.
He clicked on the white paper, as if to say, look, this paper is cleaner than my face.
"Girl, please sit down and drink some water first. Nothing will happen to you when you come to the Yamen. Just tell us what you know."
Fang Wu took two stools and gave one to the girl who came to report the crime. He also sat on one, brought a glass of water, helped her wipe away her tears, and said softly.
But the girl still cried and said nothing.
Seeing this, Fang Wu thought for a moment and said, "Which flower house does the girl come from?"
"Yanhonglou." She said with a crying voice.
Fang Wu smiled and finally asked something.
"Let's go, master, let's go see the body first?" She didn't know why, but she felt impatient. Looking at Ji Xuan, she felt like she saw joy in his eyes, but this... it was obvious...
