Chapter 216: Raising a Teacher and Asking for Guilty (2)
Liu Ruhai cupped his hands and said, "Since the Marquis said so, the students will tell the truth truthfully when the Prince comes to the capital." After that, he walked away.
After a while, the gangsters reported in, and Liu Ruhai left the house, rode on horseback, and went straight to Chengtianmen Qianhu House.
In the evening, when there was no news from Chengtianmen, Cao Xiwan in the East Room came down with a fever and her lips turned purple. Even Song Chengming was suspicious, and he could tell that she was poisoned.
Can't help but be surprised.
Although he said that Su Jintian's Biying Sword was poisonous and would cause Cao Xiwan to suffer serious injuries, he also ordered Chen Qianhu to keep an eye on it.
But this is completely untrue. Of course Song Chengming knew it.
Qin Meng hurried over. Song Chengming asked: "How did you get poisoned?"
Qin Meng was startled and said quickly: "I don't know about my humble position. There is nothing unusual on the road. Madam Qing didn't mention it either."
Manager Lian Er asked: "Master Hou, would you like to invite Chen Baihu to come?"
"...We are in the same group as her, call Yan Songmou!" Mr. Hou was suspicious and called Master Yan to come over and check his pulse.
Just as he finished speaking, the eunuch from Prince Zhou's Palace and Wen Ruo from Prince Qin's Palace came again. They also came to investigate the murder of the Nine Demons and Ten Demons in Biying Palace. Marquis Nankang snorted and went out to socialize.
.
Qin Meng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The Marquis did not have time to interrogate old matters for the time being, but he and Lady Qing were chasing people in the tunnel. At the moment, there was no way to exchange confessions with Cao Xiwan.
She had a fever and was lying in front of the window.
While the Marquis was dealing with the princes, he ordered someone to boil the holy detoxification medicine always kept in the Marquis' mansion, and gave her two bowls first.
It really works.
She could already speak hoarsely. She looked dimly, with the curtain half-opened.
"Master Hou." The tall and thin Master Yan walked in and saluted Mr. Hou.
This man had a long beard and was dark and elegant. He looked like a scribe, and Qin Meng knew that he was now working as an official in the Experience Department.
In the past, he did not know that this strict official was the confidant of the Marquis.
The person who came here to diagnose her pulse was not Chen Ming, a ghost doctor, so he would not have given her cover.
Master Yan sat by the kang to diagnose her pulse. She couldn't help but open her mouth with tears in her eyes: "Yan... Dad, maybe I haven't been well recently and I always think about old things. I often dream... about you. When I was a child, you carried me on my back.
I."
"...It's easy to say." Master Yan endured it. After all, the Marquis was on the side. He could only stroke his long beard and force out a smile, "I have heard a lot about Madam Qing's recent fame in the Yamen."
Cao Xiwan was coughing, her voice was hoarse but she kept nagging, nagging all the way about the old story of how Master Yan took her to play when she was a little girl who had just returned home from Yanjing City with the Marquis.
Master Yan could barely manage a few words.
Qin Meng watched from the side and immediately felt that although it was disgusting for the Qingluo female ghost to flatter the Marquis, that was because he had always thought that Qing Niangzi's behavior was as bright as the moon and as clear as a spring.
Now comparing her with old people like Master Yan, Qing Niang no longer looks disgusting, but is twelve times more sincere than others.
Of course, this is Qin Meng's illusion.
In front of Master Yan, Cao Xiwan had already made up a story without Qin Meng having to say anything. How did she see through the gray-robed female devil, and then tricked the female devil into revealing Su Jintian's secret plan? She also
road:
"Master Hou, Qin Baihu... was lured away by another gray shadow man. That gray shadow is also from Biying Palace. He can dance with puppets. In the tunnel... he jumps with his legs straight. He just doesn't like to talk. He doesn't say a word.
Say something."
Qin Meng didn't say anything, but when he looked at Song Chengming, the Marquis of Nankang was obviously startled, as if Cao Xiwan had told him what he was thinking. Especially Master Yan's expression changed slightly, and he winked at the Marquis.
"Qin Baihu."
"Yes, Lord Marquis." Qin Meng followed Song Chengming to the main room, carefully answering Song Chengming's cross-examinations one by one. Master Yan followed, making insinuations from time to time.
Cao Xiwan's lies left a lot of room for Qin Meng. According to what she said, Qin Meng separated from her and she met the female devil. Qin Meng only saw the second gray shadow woman from a distance.
Qin Meng did see it. When he faced the Marquis' cross-examination, he didn't need to lie. He didn't need to speak to Cao Xiwan.
Song Chengming, after asking carefully, looked at Master Yan. Master Yan also shook his head slightly.
No flaws were found.
Song Chengming sat down behind the desk and said, "Did she chase her into the palace?"
"Yes, I didn't dare to enter the palace. Qing Niangzi only said that she was familiar with several nuns. I waited outside the palace. After waiting for a while, Qing Niangzi came out and said that the person was missing. Then she said that she was in the palace.
There are several princes and princesses in the She Palace."
This is also true.
Marquis Nankang pondered.
Qin Meng excused himself, and when he left, he looked sideways and saw Master Yan moving to the table, whispering with the Marquis.
Qin Meng remembered what Lady Qing had said in the tunnel: "I have heard rumors that the Marquis raised little devils in the past. At that time, there was a Master Yan beside the Marquis, who seemed to have been a master of some tantric monk. But he offended me.
I kicked him into the yamen and stopped working as a master in the Hou Mansion from then on. No one talked about it anymore. I think now that it was actually the Marquis who sent him to do confidential things. I was too young and negligent at that time."
Qin Meng thought that the Marquis must have thought that one of the two gray shadows was the Biying Palace succubus, and the other looked like a puppet in his hands?
But why did the puppet suddenly appear?
"Humph." Cao Xiwan didn't care why the puppet appeared.
She was recuperating on the kang. Of course, the Marquis suspected her injury and asked Master Yan to check her pulse every day.
She actually got into a fight with Master Yan. She secretly told Qin Meng, "Several members of the Yan family saw that I was sick and wanted to compete for favor! In my dreams, the Marquis of Nankang's Mansion is my territory!"
"..." Qin Meng still couldn't understand the meaning of these words, so Luo's mother pulled him and told him not to ask.
She was respectful and grateful to the Marquis, as if she was ill this time, and the Marquis's kindness reminded her of the past. She took Master Yan and recalled from time to time: "I had just come back at that time, and I was angry with my parents.
Only Mr. Marquis has me in his heart and treats me best. Father Yan, at that time I deliberately put medicine in your tea, changed your accounts to frame you, made you wrestle, beat your nephew, bully your daughter, you
Don't blame me. I'm just afraid that you will take away the Marquis."
She whimpered, "Seeing as I am sick now, I don't know when I will leave."
Qin Meng stood aside and looked at Master Yan sympathetically.
He clearly wanted to take revenge by poisoning the young lady with a medicine, but Nankang Hou was standing beside him, waiting for the results of his pulse diagnosis. He could only force out a smile: "You were still young at that time. How can I care?"
Probably because the old grudge was too deep, he quickly turned around, stood up and reported to Song Chengming: "Master Hou, my subordinates have checked Qing Niangzi's pulse and feel that there is indeed toxin in her body. It should be... the poison on the Biying knife.
