When Wang Tong heard this, he became even more panicked and advised: "Your Majesty, the bandits are killing people. There is nothing interesting about it."
"The Grand Administrator died for the country, so I should go and visit you." Shen Yunfan said solemnly, "Lead the way!"
Xie Min nodded, then walked in front and led everyone to the Jiaozhou Prefect's Mansion.
Jiaozhou is very wealthy, but the governor's mansion is in a bit of a dilapidated state. According to Xie Min, the former governor was an honest and upright man, so there is nothing wrong with this residence.
When we entered the prefect's mansion, we could vaguely see blood stains on the ground.
"Xie Min, according to your statement, the gangsters broke in and killed people the day before yesterday?"
"It's not yet dawn, it should be early morning to be precise," Xie Min replied.
"Then did you see the gangster with your own eyes?"
"I live too far away and arrived very late, so only Mr. Wang saw it."
"Oh?" Shen Yunfan looked at Wang Tong, "Have you seen the gangster with your own eyes?"
"That's right, but that group of people ran too fast and couldn't be caught!" Wang Tong said with a pity look on his face.
Shen Yunfan didn't say anything else. He just looked around the prefect's mansion and then said, "Take me to see the body of the prefect."
The prefect's body was in the Jiaozhou Yamen. It is said that Wu Zuo had carefully inspected it and determined that the prefect died of a sword wound and there was nothing wrong with it.
After Shen Yunfan finished reading it carefully, the Yamen asked: "Is the imperial envoy careful? The prefect will be buried tomorrow."
"Are you in such a hurry for burial?"
"The dead are great, they should be buried in peace!" Ya Ling shook his head.
Shen Yunfan squinted his eyes, always feeling that there was something fishy between these people. But although he was a doctor in his previous life, he was not a forensic examiner, so there were no clues on the corpse.
But when he was about to leave, Zuo Zuo, who had been silent all this time, suddenly came up and got close to Shen Yunfan.
"The imperial envoy is busy, I have some money, and I will give it to the imperial envoy for tea!" Wu Zuo's expression flickered.
The Yamen's face changed and he cursed: "How shameless, you are bribing the superior!"
"Bringing an imperial envoy is a serious crime." After Shen Yunfan finished speaking, he looked at the panic in Zuo's expression, and then said with a smile: "But I am really tired today, and I just happened to have a cup of tea in the evening."
After saying that, he reached out and took the silver.
Wang Tong, Xie Min and Ya Ling all had expressions on their faces, and a thought came to their minds: Damn, this guy looks upright, but he's also a greedy guy!
Of course, they reacted quickly. At this time, they each took out some money to express their gratitude to Shen Yunfan.
Shen Yunfan did not refuse anyone who came, and accepted all orders.
After finishing the investigation, it was almost evening. Several people sent Shen Yunfan back to the inn, and then they left.
Feng Ling said in confusion: "Young Master, you want their money, aren't you afraid that they will accuse you of corruption?"
"What I want is not silver." Shen Yunfan looked serious and took out the few silver ingots he just received from his waist.
Then, he put the silver ingots on the table and turned them over to look at them. Under one of the silver ingots, there was actually a note!
"What's going on?" Feng Chime's eyes lit up.
"This is the money given by Wu Zuo. He actually wanted to send me some news." Shen Yunfan said, taking down the note and unfolding it.
The news above made his expression change drastically.
…
At night, in the state and the mansion.
Wang Tong and Ya Ling were talking quietly in the backyard.
"That imperial envoy seems to have noticed something."
"He is a corrupt official. Let's prepare more money and shut his mouth."
"No, killing the prefect is a mortal sin. There must be no deviation in this matter." Wang Tong shook his head, "Only the dead are safe. We must strike first and find a way to kill him."
"Brother Wang, that guy is leading three thousand Imperial Guard troops. Don't do anything stupid! What's more, if he dies, what will happen if the court tracks him down?"
"Don't worry, I've seen it today. There is a grudge between him and the Imperial Guards. The general of the Imperial Guards has nothing to do with it.
I don’t accept him at all. Let’s use some strategy to hide it from the court and make his death so that no one can investigate!”
"How?"
"There is a general named Hu in the Jiaozhou garrison. He is quite prestigious in the army. His sister is performing in a brothel. Please go there..." A hint of cruelty flashed in Wang Tong's eyes.
After a cup of tea, the Yamen secretly went out, first to a drug store and then to a brothel in Jiaozhou.
At that time, he went to the inn where Shen Yunfan was staying.
"Lord Yamen, are you still free to come to my place this late at night?" Shen Yunfan went downstairs to receive him.
"Jiaozhou is not as prosperous as the capital city. I am afraid that the imperial envoy will be bored here, so I specially found a flower girl from a brothel to entertain you." The Yamen smiled and pointed at the pure-looking girl behind him.
"I have met the imperial envoy." The girl stepped forward and saluted with her pipa in her arms.
"In addition, seeing that the imperial envoy is physically weak, I specially brought some supplements." The Yamen Ling took out a teapot and gave Shen Yunfan a look that every man would understand.
Shen Yunfan laughed and said, "Your Majesty, your Excellency has taken the trouble."
"It's all what you should do, then... I won't bother you, sir!" Ya Ling handed over his hands, stood up and left.
Since Shen Yunfan moved in, everyone in the inn was emptied out. Now there is only Shen Yunfan and the girl on the first floor looking at each other.
Seeing Shen Yunfan staring at her, the girl blushed a little and whispered: "Sir, the common people are the brothel queens, they are prostitutes but not their bodies."
"Okay, you go upstairs and wait in the second room on the left."
The girl nodded and went upstairs, and Shen Yunfan followed with the teapot. When he returned to his room, he opened the teapot and smelled it, and a sneer appeared on his face.
"You want to attack me so quickly? If I hadn't studied medicine, I might have fallen victim to it."
This pot is not poison, but its effect is more vicious than poison.
Naturally, Shen Yunfan didn't drink a sip, but got up and went to the girl's room. He wanted to ask about the girl's background.
After a while, the door of another room in the inn opened, and the wind chime led Princess Zheng out.
"You are willing to cooperate with the young master, the young master must be very happy!" Feng Ling seemed a little excited, because Princess Zheng had just promised to talk to Shen Yunfan.
The two women entered Shen Yunfan's room, but saw no one from Shen Yunfan.
The wind chime greeted him: "You wait here and rest for a while, I will go find the young master."
"Okay." Princess Zheng responded and poured herself a cup of tea...
