Goulan Hutong, Bensi Hutong and Yanle Hutong were the locations of the Jiaofangsi in the Ming Dynasty. They were originally just the residences of the Jiaofangsi people, but over time, prostitutes and other prostitutes also gathered in these nearby alleys.
Even though there are officials and the rule that children cannot sleep in flowers and willows, but now that it is the Ming Dynasty, the government is not as strict as before, so even if someone wears a scarf and enters these places, it is the Yamen servants or the Dongcheng Army and Horses Department.
If people see it, they just pretend they haven’t seen it.
However, the officers turned a blind eye on weekdays, and now it is a national mourning. These places where they received benefits on weekdays have come extremely diligently these days, and they are nothing more than a warning not to go crazy thinking about money.
Hitting his head on the tip of a knife, etc. So, a Fuli Pavilion near Yanle Hutong, which is usually bustling with people, has been closing its doors for several days to thank customers. Whenever he heard the knock on the door, the madam would be lazy. On this day, the door underneath was opened again.
When someone knocked loudly, her face suddenly elongated like a donkey's face.
"Here we go again, this is not over yet!"
Indignant, she went to open the door herself. However, as soon as the door was opened, several guards rushed in and knocked her aside. She was shocked when she saw these people rushing upstairs and hurriedly
He yelled, "Yang Jiuye, the girls upstairs haven't gotten up yet!"
"Fart!" The leader of the catch signaled the others below him to quickly go upstairs. After waiting for a group of people to open the door and break in, women's exclamations came one after another, mixed with men's screams.
He turned around and looked at the old bustard with a cold smile and said, "What's wrong? I told you not to allow them to receive guests these days, but you actually went against it? To tell you the truth, I came back here because
I have come to investigate a key criminal under strict orders from above. If I really catch this person from you, not to mention your boss, even the people behind your boss will not be able to bear the punishment!"
Before the madam could answer, she saw several naked people being pulled out of the house. She was shocked and angry for a moment. But when she heard the word "offense", she didn't dare to make any mistake, so she could only say angrily, "What?"
If the criminal dares to come to such a place with fireworks in broad daylight, he will die..."
"Boss, he's dead!"
When Yang Jiuye heard this, he no longer had time to pay attention to the old madam and rushed upstairs. He entered one of the rooms in twos and twos and saw a man lying naked on a bed with a dagger stuck in his heart.
On the bed, a woman with bright makeup and scars all over her upper body was curled up on the ground. Her face was bruised and she was obviously dead. He couldn't help but take a breath. When he turned around, he saw that the madam had already come up and was standing at the door, stunned. He was stunned for a moment.
Ignoring the others, he stepped forward, grabbed her collar and dragged her over. Pointing at this scene, he shouted, "Let me ask you, what is going on?"
"Damn it, I really don't know! My Xiaoyue, why did you kill my good daughter now? It must have been this Thousand Swordsman who killed you!"
Seeing that he couldn't find anything unnecessary to ask, Yang Jiuye couldn't help but snorted and threw the madam aside. He went up to check on the situation of the two of them. Looking at the messy scene in the room, he felt seventy-eight in his heart.
Careful. When he turned around and checked the walls on both sides of the room, he frowned thoughtfully as soon as he knocked. When he went outside, he ordered someone to measure the dimensions of the two rooms on the left and right. When the dimensions were reported, he immediately understood that this room was specially made.
There is a huge distance between the wall and the left and right next door, and it is also filled with sand and stone for sound insulation. I am afraid it was originally designed for guests with special needs. Now these two people are lying dead here, but no one outside knows about it.
I'm afraid that the guest went too far and suffered backlash.
However, inferring this, when the guard on the side came up with a picture to compare, and nodded slightly at him, his face immediately elongated, and he glanced sideways at the old bustard who was still crying.
I just want to strangle this damn woman to death.
It was a good thing to find the real owner, but what he found was a dead man. Will he continue to be a head hunter in the future?
The two people could clearly see the chaotic momentum of Fuli Pavilion on the second floor of a little-known si den opposite. The bald man in his forties in front frowned as he saw groups of servants coming in and out.
Frowning tightly, the first old man behind him looked at this scene and couldn't help but whispered: "Looking at this posture, it must have been ordered by the superiors."
"I just don't know whether it's Jiao Fang or His Highness the Crown Prince. Fortunately, I have already started planning since I learned about the emperor's death, otherwise I would have been unable to escape. Once Liu Wentai is imprisoned, he will definitely avenge himself and recruit Dan
The prescription is a matter of time. This guy was so drunk that he vomited out that the prince and Jiao Fang were both pretending to be ill. It is very possible that I had already revealed the prescription that I gave him to others. It is not surprising that Jiao Fang knew it.
Damn it, I just wanted to stir up the situation, let the emperor indulge in alchemy, alchemy, etc. like he did in previous years, and make the court a mess without anyone caring about it, but things have actually progressed to this point!"
"But if Emperor Hongzhi dies, wouldn't it be more beneficial to you, sir?"
"Variables that are not within the plan, even if they are good ones, cannot be taken lightly. Just close the window, there is nothing to see. That is the substitute that I have prepared for a long time. He has enjoyed the happiness on my behalf for so long. Now I will give you one
He deserves his life. By the way, Jiao Fang has been very close to Liu Jin of the Bell and Drum Division these days. Find an opportunity to get that Xu Jin out. Now he is of no use to Jiao Fang. If I keep him, he might still be able to survive.
it works."
Mr. Luo hit his forehead with his hand and didn't bother to look out the window. He walked back in without looking back. When he sat down on the seat, he picked up the already cool tea beside him and took a sip, dipping his hand into it.
He caught cold water and started writing and drawing on the table. At the end of writing and drawing, he thought about whether he had given gifts to make friends with the eunuchs in the East Palace or used force on Zhang Yu and Liu Wentai. He had continued to do it after taking over.
It was easy to catch it with one hand, but after all, it was a new arrival. Although the emperor's sudden death seemed unnatural, except for the two pills, I couldn't find any more connection with him.
"My prescription is indeed Yizi's. It will at most make the emperor consume his essence and become mentally weak, but it will not kill him. This secret recipe has been used many times before. If it is poisonous or useless,
Liu Wentai is a human being, and he is not completely incompetent. It is impossible not to see it. Is it really just a misdiagnosis by those quack doctors just like the misdiagnosis of Xian Temple back then?"
Liu Wentai, who had changed into clean clothes during the interrogation and was finally freed from the rat mouth, was more guessing than before. He blamed everything on the two pills and when he collected the gold,
He also specially asked Di Luo to write an article, saying that if there was a chance to submit it to the emperor, this would leave evidence, and it would be very possible to shirk responsibility based on this. Thinking of this, he felt refreshed and went to
He leaned against the wall and sighed softly.
To be fair, Emperor Hongzhi was naturally very good to him and he had always tried his best. But God knows that Shu's only mistake in the past ten years not only cost the emperor his life, but also brought him to his current situation. Even if the emperor
It's erysipelas. Those tonics are at best slightly hot and slightly warm. How could it suddenly become so hot?
After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out. He was so exhausted that he gradually closed his eyes and fell asleep. After all, these days, he was only worried about being eaten by mice as soon as he fell asleep. He never closed his eyes at all. This mimi didn't know how to sleep.
After a while, he vaguely heard the sound of knocking on the wooden fence outside. He suddenly woke up, looked up and saw a strange jailer, and with a move in his heart, he crawled towards him.
"Empress Liu Wentai asked me to bring you a message."
For Liu Wentai, who had just escaped today, even if this sentence was just a straw handed to the drowning man, it was also the straw he had to hold on to. So, he almost immediately straightened his clothes and knelt down.
, then he bowed his head respectfully and said, "I respectfully listen to the Queen's decree."
"The empress has said that the Crown Prince has made up his mind, and many civil and military officials have written letters to severely punish you. The most she can do is to spare your life. But when the time comes for interrogation, you will not say anything nonsense.
If your words ruin the reputation of Emperor Daxing, even if you are sentenced to death, she will try to find a way for you to survive."
When Liu Wentai heard these words, he felt a burst of ecstasy, and for a moment he hurriedly kowtowed with gratitude. Seeing that the man was about to leave, he suddenly hurriedly stretched out his hand on the wooden fence and said: "This military master, I am a military master."
! Please also report to the empress, saying that Liu Wentai has been convicted, and beg her to give the Liu family another chance for the sake of my hard work. The Liu family has been practicing medicine for generations, and no one in the Liu family can beat me as a female doctor.
Woman... In addition, Emperor Daxing was thinking about Materia Medica at the last moment, and begged the empress to publish Materia Medica in the world, so that he could live up to Emperor Daxing's painstaking efforts to care for his subjects."
Although the man just nodded slightly and went straight away, Liu Wentai still collapsed to the ground in relief. When he stretched out his hand and wiped his forehead, he found that his hands were greasy, but his heart was full of excitement about the possibility of escaping the disaster.
In the Kunning Palace, when Empress Zhang heard Liu Wentai's story reported by her confidant Zhang Yu, she took a long breath and then lay down again. That day, Xu Xun and Zhu Houzhao worked together to persuade her.
But afterwards, she thought about it and felt that Liu Wentai could not be allowed to ruin her husband's reputation. Zhang Yu advised her on this matter, and she gradually came up with such a delaying strategy. At this moment, when the female official
When he came up to tuck her gauze quilt, she suddenly said, "To really get rid of it once and for all, people have to die a hundred times."
"That's true, but think about it, my dear, Xu Xun is the most favored person of His Highness the Crown Prince. Now the person under his supervision is going to die inexplicably. His Highness the Crown Prince is angry. Isn't it his bad luck? Hou Ninghou is now
Be good to him, and even the young marquis has made great progress. If you drag him down, isn't it harming others and not benefiting yourself? If you want to clean up the head and tail, wait until the person is transferred to the guard of Yousi, and you can use some tricks.
After all, there are many people like Qian Ning who dare not disobey the empress."
"Yes, yes, you are right." Queen Zhang nodded repeatedly, nodded approvingly towards Zhang Yu, and turned around
