Chapter 38(2/2)
Wang Zhi was not angry: "There is no better!"
Tang Fan said: "This matter should have nothing to do with the prince, but it is difficult to ensure that those who are interested will deliberately pull it on the prince after they know it. Please be careful."
Wang Zhi was impatient: "I understand! I understand! You are a little promoter, it's not your turn to worry about these things! If I want to be unfavorable to the prince, why recommend you to investigate the case at the beginning!"
Since the other party knew it, Tang Fan stopped talking.
The reason why Wang Zhi wanted to make things worse was that he was afraid that there would be something to do with the imperial concubine or the prince behind the scenes. Both sides were his old master and the other was the prince. He did not want to offend either side, but if it was confirmed that it had nothing to do with both sides, Tang Fan believed that the other party should be able to handle it impartially.
The Xichang man who went to chase Han Hui quickly caught the man. Han Hui was chased and planned to jump into the river. However, the person who was arrested was kicked and kicked him directly into the water. Han Hui couldn't do anything and slapped in the water for a long time before he could catch the Xichang man, which was completely calm.
With the evidence of wintersweet, Han Hui naturally had no way to deny it. His explanation was actually similar to what Tang Fan speculated.
At the beginning, it was the eunuch around the prince. Yuanliang contacted him first. Although Han Hui could not enter the palace, he sent Han Hui into the palace. When he was at the gate of the palace, he would definitely have a chance to meet Yuanliang. Yuanliang learned from Han Zao that Lin was very bad to Han Hui, so he used this to seduce Han Hui and asked him to attack Han Zao, and said that based on his relationship in the palace, he could cover him up.
Han Hui was naturally shocked at first, and he refused to agree. Yuan Liang did not force him. However, after he went back, Han Hui was worried for several days. Seeing that Yuan Liang had never mentioned this matter again, he not only did not calm down, but was ready to move.
At this time, because of the matter of Hanmei, Han Hui did not dare to tell Lin, but Lin had seen him talking to Hanmei several times, so he scolded and insulted him several times. Han Hui finally accumulated many years of resentment and burst out. He took the initiative to find Yuan Liang and agreed to the plan.
What happened next was natural.
Yuanliang and Han Hui communicated in advance and agreed that one day would take action. Han Hui went to Han Zao's room the night before and wanted to go to bed with Han Zao. Although Han Zao and Han Hui were not the same mother, they respected this brother very much. Otherwise, they would not be able to resist complaining in front of Yuanliang because their mother was not good to her brother, so that Yuanliang knew about the grudges of the Han family.
However, after Han Zao heard that Han Hui was going to sleep with him, he naturally agreed happily. Although the age difference between their brothers was a little big, they had a good relationship on weekdays. Han Hui would occasionally come over to chat with Han Zao and sleep with him. No one would think too much, but he never expected Han Hui to take this opportunity to calculate the time when Han Zao was about to get up and stab the broken needle into his moisture hole.
The needle was very thin and short, and even after entering the moisture hole, it stayed on the surface of the skin for a while. However, as Han Zao got up and walked around, the needle inevitably gradually penetrated into his body, and finally caused a tragic disaster.
However, Han Hui only started according to the time Yuanliang said. As for what happened after Han Zao entered the palace, how Yuanliang took the opportunity to cover up his excuses, Han Hui didn't know anything about it.
Han Hui was obsessed with ghosts and resentment, so he committed the crime of killing his brother. There were so many rules of the Ming Dynasty, and there was always one that was tailor-made for him. But as Tang Fan said, the matter was far from over. Why did Yuanliang collude with Han Hui? Is it his own idea or someone instructing him behind his back? How did Yuanliang know that the imperial concubine was going to send mung bean lily soup that day? Is there another palace maid Furu intervened? What was Furu for?
Many mysteries are still to be solved, but Tang Fan is already powerless because according to what he said before, Wang Zhi would not give him the opportunity to intervene in these matters. Before the murderer had surfaced, he could enter and exit the palace in the name of investigation. Now Wang Zhi is unwilling to accompany him to enter the palace again. Unless the emperor ordered, it would be absolutely impossible for him to enter and exit the palace at will with his mere official position as an official in Shuntian Prefecture.
Others can already regard it as completing the task successfully when others have achieved this, but Tang Fan always feels like he gave up halfway, but he can't help but take the initiative. After returning from the West Factory, Tang Fan walked home directly.
These days, I didn't even have enough time to eat a few bites of food. Once I relaxed, I felt very tired. Tang Fan was no exception, especially when I returned home and found that A Dong was not here and Suizhou had not come back, the feeling of loss became even worse.
It is normal for Suizhou not to come back. It is said that he went to Jiangxi. He went there in a hurry, and Tang Fan did not ask in detail.
But since the little girl Adong lived here and met her neighbors, she became wild, just because there were two or three girls of the same age as her in the neighbor's house. Adong became familiar with them, and the other elders would also invite her to dinner and a guest at her home. Suizhou's sister Sui Bi was very close to Adong. This little girl seemed to be born with good popularity, which was quite like her elder brother Tang Fan. Of course, the last sentence was added shamelessly by Lord Tang himself.
Tang Fan often doesn't have home these days, and three meals are not regular. During the day, Adong is lonely in the empty three-entry yard alone, so he will definitely run out to play with his friends. As a result, he happened to come back early today and can't find anyone to cook.
Looking at the kitchen without the smoke rising from the cooking stove, Lord Tang felt very disappointed.
In the past, I lived alone, but I didn’t feel anything. Now I am used to having the feeling of family, and suddenly I feel very disappointed when I return to my bachelor career.
While sighing, "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality", Tang Fan walked to the kitchen and wanted to see what food A Dong left behind.
After turning around, fortunately, I found a plate of white and tender glutinous rice cakes, which were still filled with mung beans and sesame seeds.
Although it had already turned cold, the pastry didn't matter. Tang Fan was too lazy to cook by himself. Of course, he couldn't make it even if he really asked him to make it, so he just drank boiled water and ate glutinous rice balls.
He had an empty stomach and ate something difficult to digest as glutinous rice. He also drank water, which made the glutinous rice swell in his stomach. As a result, he started to feel stomach aches. Lord Tang was speechless in pain, and sat there wondering whether he should go out to see the doctor or just tolerate it and let it hurt.
At this time, someone knocked on the gate of the outer courtyard.
Tang Fan had to stand up and cover his stomach to open the door.
He thought it was A Dong, but as soon as the door opened, there were two girls with faces outside.
The one who led the door knocking was a little maid, and the girl behind her should be from a wealthy family, wearing a pink narrow-sleeved double-breasted trouser on the upper body, and a pink horse-faced skirt, standing there pretty.
He was a little surprised, and the two of them were even more surprised.
The little maid took two steps back, looked up at the door sign, and muttered to herself: "You're not wrong..."
Tang Fan asked: "Who are you looking for?"
The little maid said: "We are looking for Sui Baihu, won't he live here anymore?"
Tang Fan said oh, "He still lives here, but he has been on a foreign business trip recently. I am a friend who lives with him. If you want to find him, I will come back in a while."
The little maid was quite lively, her eyes rolling: "What kind of friend are you, why haven't we heard of it?"
Tang Fan was wearing a dark light blue cotton cloth dress with silk ribbons around his waist, but he was lazy. After he went home to change into his regular clothes, he did not hang a jade pendant like the ones he was popular nowadays. In addition, he was frowning because of stomach pain, and he looked like a down-and-out scholar who failed many tests. It was difficult for people to associate him with court officials.
It is obvious that this little maid was skeptical about Tang Fan’s confession to his friend of Suizhou.
The girl behind her frowned slightly, as if she regarded Tang Fan as a thief who broke in while his master was away, and said, "What is your name? My cousin loves to be alone by nature, so how could he invite you to live with you?"
Lord Tang was a little helpless. Although he was not loved by everyone, he had never encountered such a despised situation.
Besides, who is born to like to be alone? If it weren't for the Sui family, Suizhou would probably not have moved out. For this sentence, you can know that Suizhou's little cousin did not understand him.
Tang Fan said: "My name is Tang Fan. I work in Shuntian Mansion. Because I can't find a house to live in, I rely on your cousin to help me, so I will live with him for the time being."
Seeing that he had revealed his identity, the girl then felt a little suspicious: "Then let's go back first. Wait a few days later, please tell him, and say I've come to him."
Tang Fan said: "Is the girl surnamed Zhou?"
The girl nodded.
Tang Fan knew that in addition to Suizhou's mother, there was a son. Because she was in another place, her family moved over, but now she appeared here. I don't know whether to go back to Beijing to visit her elders or to prepare to come back to settle down.
However, it is obviously not suitable for him to inquire more at the moment, so Tang Fan said, "Don't worry, girl, when Guangchuan comes back, I will tell him."
The girl first nodded, then was a little surprised: "You call me the font size of my cousin? Will he let you call me that?"
Tang Fan was surprised: "Isn't the word "动" just to make his peers call him? What's so surprising?"
The girl blinked: "My cousin is remote, and I rarely see any friends he has to deal with. It seems that you have a good relationship with him!"
Tang Fan smiled and said no more: "It's okay."
As far as he saw, although the friendship between Suizhou was not broad, he was never withdrawn. Not to mention anything else, he was tamed by him under the Beizhen Fushi. This would never be possible if he was truly withdrawn. Suizhou was at best just a taciturn, and was clean and ruthless in his work, and seemed a little cold.
The girl seemed to be full of curiosity and asked many questions about Suizhou. Tang Fan had a very stomachache and had no time to deal with him, so he lost his usual smile and words.
The other party saw Tang Fan's perfunctory behavior and finally got up a little unhappy. He glared at him, turned around and left.
The little maid hurriedly chased behind her, and she turned her head and glared at Tang Fan.
Tang Fan found it a little funny, but he didn't care about anything else. Just as he was talking just now, his stomach hurts more and more.
The pain was so painful that he couldn't help but bent down to hold the door frame and sat directly on the threshold.
The sound of footsteps came hurriedly in front of him. Tang Fan looked up and saw that there were several people from the West Factory.
"No matter what urgent things you have now, I can't walk." Lord Tang was angry but weak.
He swore that he would never eat glutinous rice cakes with empty stomach next time.
