Chapter 6
Even Tang Pan's tongue in the lotus was so choked by this sentence that he was speechless.
He clearly proposed cooperation with sincerity, but in a blink of an eye he became a murder suspect. Could it be that he forgot to read the almanac when he went out today?
It is said that the Jinyiwei is powerful and no one can give face. It is indeed worthy of its reputation!
Tang Fan was both amused and was about to speak, but he heard Gao Yizi exclaim: "Shopkeeper Liu, you are back!"
Manager Liu hurried into the door and saw the three Jinyiwei inside the room at a glance, and was shocked.
Gao Yizi stepped forward and introduced him to Suizhou, Tang Fan and others. Manager Liu bowed one by one and said in panic: "I'm sorry, please wait here. I don't know what the old man has done. Please tell me clearly!"
Seeing that he was anxious, Tang Fan comforted him, "Shopkeeper Liu, don't worry..."
Suizhou interrupted him and asked coldly: "Is there a place of purity here?"
"Yes! Yes!" Manager Liu hurriedly said, introducing them into the inner room.
The inner room is not big, it is better to be quiet, not like the noisy outside.
Manager Liu asked Tang Fan and the others to sit down, and asked Gao Qizi to serve tea, and immediately asked, "Sir, are you here for...?"
After all, he was not as naive as Gao Yizi. He could tell at a glance that among these people, Tang Fan was the best to speak, so although he spoke to everyone, his eyes looked at Tang Fan.
Tang Fan said: "Shopkeeper Liu, was there someone from Wu'an Hou Mansion who came to you to prepare medicine?"
After the murder of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion fermented these days, it had already caused a lot of controversy. Everyone in the capital knew about it. When Manager Liu heard this, he was shocked and shook his head repeatedly: "There is nothing, nothing is nothing!"
Tang Fan stared at him: "Isn't it really?"
Although Suizhou and others didn't say anything, they were also eyeing each other.
Manager Liu smiled bitterly: "Several sirs, how dare I lie? Although Huichuntang has some reputation, it is not as good as the time-honored brand like Renxintang. What kind of family is like Wu'an Hou Mansion? How could he come here to find us to dispense medicine?"
Tang Fan: "Shopkeeper Liu, think about it carefully, don't miss a big deal. If you hide something, you will inevitably suffer! You might as well tell you that Zheng Cheng's servant told us that the 'fuyangchun' used by Zheng Cheng was used by you. The one who helped prepare the medicine was a tall and thin guy, who was in his early twenties and had a black mole on his lips."
Manager Liu exclaimed: "Isn't he talking about that boy Lin Chaodong?!"
Tang Fan: "Lin Chaodong?"
Manager Liu: "That's right, the first person in charge of the dispensing medicine in Chuntang was Lin Chaodong. He was the doctor who was taking his pulse outside for several years. He was an apprentice, but last month, he said that his relatives in his hometown passed away and wanted to go back to his hometown to attend the funeral and help with the funeral. Who knew that he hadn't come back yet after he went there. Now Gao Qizi was promoted by me after Lin Chaodong left."
Tang Fan: "Who is he? How long have he been in Huichuntang?"
Manager Liu said, "It is said that he is from Weihui Mansion in Henan. He has been working in Huichuntang for three years. He came to Beijing to join relatives. Later, I saw that he was quite diligent and had a few words to read, so I asked Doctor Shang to teach him how to recognize medicine."
Without Tang Fan and Suizhou and others' explanation, Manager Liu took the initiative to call Doctor Shang and Gao Yazi in. What they said was exactly the same as Manager Liu. They all said that they had never given any aphrodisiacs to the Marquis of Wu'an, and they had never seen people from the Marquis of Wu'an. There were many people coming and going to Huichuntang every day. Even if there were people from the Marquis of Wu'an, they didn't know because the other party had not identified their identity.
Tang Fan saw that they were not talking like a fake, judging from the performance of Manager Liu, he was indeed unaware of this matter, so there was only one possibility left: although Zheng Cheng was dispensing medicine here, he only had contact with Lin Chaodong.
I think so, I have to use aphrodisiacs at a young age, so Zheng Cheng naturally has to hide it, for fear that others will know.
Several people took turns to explain, looking at Tang Fan and the others trembled, looking pitiful as if they were waiting to fall. Of course, Manager Liu and others were more looking at the three Jinyiwei.
Tang Fan: "What else should I ask about the General Banner of Sui?"
The General Flag of the Jinyiwei raised his thin lips coldly: "Take them all back and interrogate them carefully!"
The two people behind agreed and stepped forward to obey the people.
Manager Liu and others hurriedly begged for mercy, but they did not dare to resist.
Seeing the three of them being taken out, Tang Fan said: "Mr. Sui, the most urgent task is to find Lin Chaodong back and ask questions. Just keep someone in Huichuntang to guard it. Why take away someone? It is not easy to operate a small business."
Suizhou: "The Jinyiwei was ordered to handle the case, and there was no need to explain it to Shuntian Prefecture. If Lord Tang also wanted to go to the Beizhen Fushi, he would naturally welcome it."
Tang Fan: "..."
Facing such a merciless person, Tang Fan was helpless: "Mr. Sui, I have no malice, why should I be aggressive? In this case, if the Jinyiwei is willing to cooperate with Shuntian Prefecture, it will be beneficial to both parties."
Suizhou said coldly: "If Shuntian Mansion had not been incompetent, why would it be that the case was closed in a hurry and was caught by the Western Factory and turned it out again? It's just that you, Lord Pan, don't want to offend Wu'an Hou, and are afraid that Your Majesty will hold you accountable, so you came up with such a bad idea to be successful. The plan is good, but don't shoot yourself in the foot in the end!"
As the initiator of the "bad idea", Tang Fan didn't feel blushed. He would still do this if he did it again.
But Tang Fan didn't expect that the other party could see the joints at a glance. No wonder the Jinyiwei General Banner spoke coldly to him from the beginning, and had no good voice. It turned out that he had long classified him as "incompetent".
Tang Fan was well-educated, and was ridiculed by the other party, and his tone was gentle and gentle: "After this matter, the Sui General Banner was angry, and the facts could not be changed. Now the West Factory is eyeing him, and the East Factory is not in the way of dealing with the Jinyiwei. The Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple are not serious about watching the fun. Only Jinyiwei and Shuntian Mansion really hope that the case can be revealed, so if you combine, you will benefit without any harm."
Suizhou said coldly: "Even if there is no Shuntian Mansion, the Jinyiwei can still find out the truth."
Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, Tang Fan hurriedly said, "Can General Qi let me see Zheng Cheng's body?"
Pan Bin, the prefect of Shuntian, was really unreliable. At that time, Tang Fan and Marquis Wu'an asked for the body, but Marquis Wu'an did not give it to him, and Pan Bin did not dare to ask for it. As a result, the emperor ordered the emperor to order Zheng Cheng's body was taken away by the Jinyiwei. Shuntian Mansion was one step too late and didn't even touch the hair.
Suizhou paused and left two cold words: "No way!"
Tang Fan: "..."
Look, the old men of the Jinyiwei are so arrogant!
Compared with his senior brother and boss, Tang Fan was speechless.
They are all here to make a fortune, why are the treatments so different?
……………………
Beijing is the capital of the world. Anyone with some knowledge and conditions has sharpened his head and wants to squeeze into the capital. Even if he is an official, many people would rather be a seventh-rank official than a sixth-rank local official. The emperor's residence and the imperial city are located. These eight words alone have infinite charm.
However, the benefits are not only so many. For gourmets, living in the capital means that they can eat all the food in the world, the exquisiteness of the south of the Yangtze River and the heroic fortune of the north, and the flavours of the whole world.
Just like now, in the Xmax Building, a diner looked at the crystal belly he picked up on his chopsticks and sighed melancholy: "I'm afraid that after I leave the capital, I will be so delicious again!"
The person sitting opposite him said, "Brother Ziming is in his prime, why should he sigh? God is about to give this man a great task, he must first suffer his will and his muscles and bones. Three years later, when you see him again in the capital, Brother Ziming will definitely be able to make a name for himself."
Ji Min shook her head: "Three years and three years, life is just a few decades long, how many three years can it take? Runqing, to be honest, I really envy you. The young man is proud. Now he is in his early twenties, he is already a sixth-rank official in Beijing. Not to mention those who fail the exam like me, you are also the best compared to those with the same subjects!"
Whether the official position is good or not, for Tang Fan, it only depends on whether he can do more things for the people of the country. However, speaking such words in front of Ji Min is suspected of being sarcastic. Therefore, Tang Fan did not follow up and only poured him wine: "Brother Ziming went back this time, and the mountains are high and the waters are far away. I am afraid that we will have to wait until three years before we can meet. I will treat this meal as I see you off, and I hope you don't want to dislike you!"
Three years ago, Tang Fan and Ji Min went to Beijing to take the exam together, and became friends because of their similar temperaments. Ji Min was very talented and was also a popular candidate for the exam at that time. Unexpectedly, he failed, which was unexpected. Ji Min was unwilling. Three years later, he was in the imperial examination this year, so he naturally had to make a comeback. Who knew that the results were released two months ago, and there was no Ji Min list in the new Jinshi. This was a big blow, so he was so disobedient in the Cymbique Tower.
With a 70% drunkenness, Ji Min raised her head and saw the candlelight swaying under the shadow of the lamp, reflecting Tang Fan's face as bright as pearls and jade. The pen and ink were difficult to describe. He couldn't help but reach out and hold Tang Fan's hand tightly: "Runqing, after I failed the exam, those who were on the list and had a good relationship with me, all of them were retreating from me, but you were willing to comfort me with warm words. It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's hard to help me in time. This friendship will never be forgotten by Ji Ziming!"
Tang Fan: "Brother Ziming, you wronged Brother Qiao and Brother Jizhi. They invited you to a banquet, but you didn't go. They were worried that you would misunderstand, so they stopped calling you."
Ji Min waved his hand: "Runqing, you don't have to say good things to them. I understand. I understand in my heart that I have been here for the age of age and have gone to Beijing three times, but once I haven't won. I think I am a famous student in the village at a young age. I didn't expect that I am so well-behaved in such a country now. My mother at home is looking forward to it, how can I get the face to go back? How do I..."
Before he finished speaking, he fell head-on on the table.
Tang Fan called the restaurant staff and helped Ji Min to the second floor wing room to rest. Ji Min was about to set off tomorrow. The two of them had agreed to sleep tonight and talk at night with candles. Now Ji Min was drunk, so of course she couldn't chat anymore.
After relocating Ji Min, Tang Fan was sleepless again, so he walked out of the restaurant and slowly took off along the street.
It was already late at this time. Although it was not yet time for night bans, there were already very few pedestrians on the road. The capital, which was crowded with passers-by during the day, now showed a bit of dark loneliness. Some brothels and restaurants in the alleys were not closed all night, which made it convenient for the playboys who liked entertainment like Zheng Cheng, but most ordinary people had turned off their lights and went to bed.
Lanterns swayed deep in the nearby alleys, and faintly laughter and voices came from the ears. Tang Fan did not show any charming and ambiguous expression, but instead remembered the case of the Marquis of Wu'an Mansion.
Although the case was a bit tortuous, in Tang Fan's opinion, it was not too difficult to solve the case. Who knew that Lord Pan was too afraid of trouble and had been wasting a lot of time. Now that the body was taken away by the Jinyiwei, it might have begun to rot. Lin Chaodong could not be found in the pills here. Although Tang Fan had sent a servant from Shuntian Mansion to Weihui Mansion in Henan, he had a vague premonition that eighteen or ninety-one should not be found.
The twists and turns are really speechless. Once a case involves the powerful, it will immediately become complicated.
He pursed his lips, put aside his chaotic mood, and came to his senses. He realized that he had unknowingly seized the shortcut. This was also the path he often walked during the day, but at this moment, the surroundings were silent, and there was no light. Even the moonlight was covered by the clouds. It was pitch black, but his feet were a little bumpy.
Fortunately, there was a slight illumination in the distance. I thought there were people who went to bed late and had not turned off the lights, so it would not make people feel like they were unable to see their fingers, as if they had fallen into the boundless dark world.
Although there is a faint light in the distance, it is still difficult to recognize the way nearby, especially the surrounding area is deserted and there is not even a single sound, which makes the sound of dog barking from afar so unreal.
Tang Fanleng kicked a stone, staggered for a moment, quickly held the low wall beside him and stabilized his body. He subconsciously lowered his head to look at his feet, but suddenly a faint coldness came from his neck, as if someone was blowing at him!
A little bump appeared on his skin. He shuddered and turned to look, but saw a white shadow pounced on him!
Tang Fan had no time to react, and his whole body was pressed against the brick wall by the white shadow.
