Qingyu Case: Female Minister of Dali Temple

Use this to deal with the Fan family and the Qi family?

If only the Fan family and the Qi family were left, it would be possible to do so, but now there is also the Gu family, so we can't deal with them first. Even rabbits will bite when they are anxious. Chen Shao calmly changed the subject and said, "Is Master Luo still as lifeless as yesterday?"

"Although he still looked like he was about to die, he was much better than yesterday," Quan Shuyu thought as he answered, "He also took the initiative to tell me about the situations of the Gu, Fan and Qi families. After telling me all this, he also asked me about the situations of the two burial sites that my master visited yesterday and today, and then asked me whether my master would deal with the Zhu family's manor as he did with the Wen family's manor. I gave him a positive answer, and he went back to rest. When he left, I saw that his eyes were red."

Although Chan Yi sympathized with his plight, she could not help but throw away her sympathy when she thought of how he had harmed so many young men and women. She even said with some malice, "As the saying goes, God is watching what you do. Although Luo Qingrong's recognition of a thief as his father is despicable, it is also a counterattack against Master Luo's unscrupulous revenge."

Quan Shuyu added another bowl of soup for her: "Compared to the fate of those boys and girls, Luo Qingrong's actions are indeed a retribution."

Listening to the two people's whispers, Chen Shao looked at Ding Lisheng calmly.

Ding Lisheng hugged his follower's neck tightly, barely supporting his own body, and was drinking with several Yulin guards. Several students surrounded them and cheered them on.

Retracting her gaze, Chen Shao slowly drank two bowls of soup and ate a few bites of vegetables. Then she told Fu Jiu to watch over them while she went back to Chengfeng Courtyard to rest.

Not long after she left, Li Tianliu also retreated quietly and went to the prison.

"That woman was the concubine of General Anbei of Shan State," Li Tianliu woke up near noon the next day. After lunch, he sat in the main hall to rest and said calmly, "The concubine's adulterer was a captain under General Anbei. After the incident, the concubine was sold to the Zhu family, and the captain was executed."

Chen Shao asked: "Who is the leader of the caravans that the Gu and Zhu families are doing business with Shan?"

"The Gu family is Master Gu San, and the Zhu family is..." Li Tianliu paused for a moment before gloating, "Master Zhu San."

Mr. Zhu San has been killed by her.

"Where are the people from the caravan?" Chen Shao asked calmly, without showing any regret as he had hoped.

Li Tianliu sneered and said disappointedly: "The people in the caravan are the robbers who are waiting for you to come to Gu's house so that they can catch you in the trap."

"Catching a turtle in a jar..." Chen Shao repeated this phrase several times before asking slowly, "What about Mr. Zhu and the Zhu family? Did they say anything?"

"No one has more say than Geng Yu," Li Tianliu looked at her with gloating eyes again, and then continued, "The reason why they are willing to join the party of the previous prince and work wholeheartedly for the great-great-grandson of the previous prince is because the great-great-grandson of the previous prince gave them an imperial edict, which said that after the success, the Zhu family of Hongyuan County could be granted one hereditary third-rank official, two hereditary fourth-rank officials, and three hereditary fifth-rank officials. At the same time, it was promised that all the children of the Zhu family of Hongyuan County could enter the Imperial Academy to study. The same is true for the Gu family, the Fan family, and the Qi family."

"One is third rank, two are fourth rank, and three are fifth rank. They are all hereditary. No wonder they work so hard." Chen Shao joked, "Where's the imperial edict? Hurry and show it to me. I have never seen what a hereditary imperial edict looks like in my life."

Li Tianliu stood up: "What are you waiting for? Let's go."

He had never seen the hereditary edict.

Chen Shao did not ask him where he was going until the carriage left the prefectural government office, then he said, "To the Zhu family!"

The hereditary imperial edict given to the Zhu family by the great-grandson of the former crown prince was in a secret compartment in the small treasury shared by Master Zhu and Master Zhu. According to Master Zhu and Master Zhu's instructions, Li Tianliu found the secret compartment behind an ancient painting. After taking out the lotus-patterned wooden box from the secret compartment, Li Tianliu opened the wooden box and took out the three scrolls of silk imperial edicts under the burning gazes of Chen Shao, Chan Yi and Fu Jiu.

"No wonder they are willing to work hard for that great-great-grandson of the former crown prince," Li Tianliu mocked. "Look at the handle, the gold-plated handle, the black ox horn handle, it is completely made according to the official specifications of the third, fourth and fifth ranks. And the silk, the finest silk, the auspicious clouds and cranes, the silver five-clawed dragon, it is almost exactly the same as the real imperial edict."

Fu Jiu urged: "Don't talk about this for now, open it and see what's written."

Li Tianliu threw the two black ox horn scrolls of imperial edicts to Chen Shao, and opened the third-rank gilded scroll. Fu Jiu immediately came up to him and read as he looked at it: "The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, decrees: A family of loyalty and filial piety... A family of loyalty and filial piety? They betrayed their country and surrendered to the enemy, but they are also considered a family of loyalty and filial piety?"

Amid his suspicious voice, Chen Shao also opened the two scrolls of imperial edicts in her hand, and Chan Yi also stood beside her impatiently and read them together. The beginning was the same, but when she saw the words "loyal and filial family", Chan Yi also couldn't help but sneer twice.

"It really is a hereditary imperial edict." After reading the contents and looking at the imperial seal behind the text, Chan Yi snorted coldly, "Even the seal of the previous emperor is stamped on it."

Li Tianliu threw the imperial edict in his hand to Fu Jiu, and then came to look at the imperial edict in Chen Shao's hand. Chen Shao handed both volumes of imperial edict back to him, and took the imperial edict in Fu Jiu's hand.

Apart from the fact that the seal on the edict was that of the previous emperor, the three volumes of edicts looked like official imperial decrees in terms of both regulations and writing format.

Li Tianliu looked at Chen Shao.

Chen Shaoze looked at the handwriting on the third-rank imperial edict in his hand, and couldn't help frowning. The handwriting looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. After closing the imperial edict, Chen Shao clenched his fist and gently hit his forehead, then pinched his eyebrows and reopened the imperial edict.

Still looks familiar.

But I still can't remember where I've seen it.

Handing the imperial edict to Chan Yi, Chen Shao asked her, "Take a good look at the words on this imperial edict and see if they look familiar to you."

Chan Yi took the imperial edict, read it carefully for a moment, and suddenly widened her eyes and said, "This word, this word..."

Li Tianliu and Fu Jiu both looked at her.

Chan Yi raised her head and stared at Chen Shao in surprise: "Isn't this the handwriting of the young master?"

Ok?

Li Tianliu quickly looked at the two scrolls of imperial edict in his hand. Fu Jiu also quickly leaned over and looked left and right, up and down, and asked suspiciously, "This doesn't look like the handwriting of the young master?"

Li Tianliu narrowed his eyes silently.

After Chan Yi said that it was her who wrote the words, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed through Chen Shao's mind. He quickly took back the edict from her hand, looked at the familiar pen bones and pen strokes, and his face suddenly darkened.

Li Tianliu stared at her and asked, "Who is it?"

Chen Shao shook his head: "I don't know, I need to check."

Li Tianliu sneered: "The characters on this edict are written in the same style and strokes as yours. You say you don't know?"

Fu Jiu was shocked. After taking a closer look at the imperial edict, she was even more shocked: "The brushstrokes and strokes of this pen really look like the young master's handwriting. Could it be that this imperial edict was written by the young master?"

Chan Yi glared at him and said, "If you can't speak, shut up!"

Chen Shao looked at the stunned Fu Jiu, then at the murderous Li Tianliu, and said helplessly, "If I knew, why would I point it out and then deny it? Besides, once the former crown prince's affairs are verified, the various accidents that happened to the Duke of Chen's Mansion are likely related to him. Do you think I would joke about their lives?"

Li Tianliu mocked: "Then how do you explain the fact that the handwriting of this great-great-grandson of the former crown prince is similar to yours?"

"I don't need to explain." Chen Shao suppressed the anger in his heart and said calmly.

Li Tianliu looked at her coldly, and the murderous intent in his body became heavier and heavier.

Fu Jiu and Chan Yi both stood in front of Chen Shao and looked at him warily.

Chen Shao looked calm and did not take his threat seriously.

After a short standoff, Li Tianliu suppressed his impatience and asked in a cold voice, "How do you plan to investigate?"

"Don't worry about how I check," Chen Shao replied calmly, as if challenging him. "I'll tell you as soon as I'm done with the investigation."

After signaling Fu Jiu and Chan Yi to leave, Chen Shao stepped forward, took the imperial edict from his hand, rolled it up silently, and put it back into the lotus-patterned wooden box one by one. Then he picked up the wooden box, glanced at the small treasury, and told Chan Yi and Fu Jiu: "Search carefully to see if there are any other secret compartments."

Fu Jiu looked at Li Tianliu warily, and then she and Chan Yi started knocking on the wall. Li Tianliu looked at them silently with a cold face. Chen Shao also looked at them. After the two searched every corner of the small treasury and failed to find the second secret compartment, she was still worried and took them to search the treasury of the direct lineage. After they failed to find the secret compartment in the treasury of the direct lineage, she gave up.

After coming out of Zhu's house and seeing Li Tianliu's frosty face, Chen Shao sighed helplessly and told Fu Jiu, "Go to Huimin Pharmacy."

Li Tianliu rode on the side of the carriage as usual. But his face was so stinky that the Yulin Guards dared not speak. As soon as the Yulin Guards were quiet, a cold and solemn atmosphere enveloped the entire team. In the past, when he passed by the street, there were always brave people who greeted Chen Shao. Today, wherever he passed, the people avoided him as if he were a plague, and they hid to the sides even at a distance of several feet.

The journey was silent as the carriage slowly stopped in front of the gate of Huimin Pharmacy.

Chen Shao put down the lotus-patterned wooden box, slowly stepped down from the carriage, glanced around, and walked into the pharmacy.

The pharmacy was as bustling as the vegetable market, with people coming to see doctors and groups of students. When they saw her come in, the students immediately rushed over to greet her.

Chen Shao stopped and looked at the troubled Seventh Master behind him, then asked the students with a smile, "Didn't I tell you to take a good rest for two days? Why are you all here?"

Tao Ming, who had not had a chance to perform yesterday, answered quickly, "When we were dealing with the Wen Family Manor, we started to get busy as soon as we opened our eyes every day, and we didn't stop until late at night. At the beginning, everyone was exhausted, but after being exhausted for so many days, we have long been accustomed to it. When we opened our eyes today, we found that there was nothing to do, and we all felt empty, so we agreed to come here together to see if there is anything we can help with."

The Seventh Master said quickly, "I don't have anything to do here, sir, please take them away quickly."

Immediately, a student retorted:

"We can help distribute the herbs."

“We can also take care of patients.”

"You can also serve tea and water to the patients."

Hearing their noisy voices, Xu Xianmin quickly stopped them and said, "Stop arguing. The Zhu family's farm has not been dealt with yet."

The students immediately quieted down and turned to look at Chen Shao.

Chen Shao looked at their eyes, which were hotter than the sun outside, and said to the people who came to see the doctor with a smile: "Uncles and aunts, please bear witness for me. It is not me who forces them to do things, but they force me to do things."

"My Lord, please make the arrangements for them. We can all testify!"

"Master, please make arrangements for them quickly. They have been arguing for half an hour and my brain is numb from all of it."

The students quickly apologized to them.

Chen Shao looked at their gradual maturity in dealing with people and said with a gratified smile: "I wanted to let you rest for two days, but since you are not used to it, then go to the governor's mansion and wait. After I finish talking to Master Qi, I will go back and make arrangements for you."

The students left in a noisy manner.

Looking at the Huimin Pharmacy that had calmed down again, Master Qi couldn't help but wipe the sweat off his forehead and said to Chen Shao who was approaching, "These students are amazing. After going out for training for half a month, not only have their bodies improved, but their eyes have also become more and more energetic. But when they make noise, it's unbearable."

Chen Shao smiled as he walked back with him, saying, "I thought they had been busy day and night for so long, so I let them rest for a few days before talking about other things. I didn't expect them to be so restless. After all, they are young people."

The Seventh Master couldn't help but look at her and said, "You are still young, too."

"I'm different." Chen Shao said. She didn't elaborate on what was different, and asked about the old woman who had been hospitalized here a few days ago.

"She's much better than when she first came," Master Qi frowned, "but she's been clamoring to go back since yesterday, saying that no one is doing the work in the fields and she has to go back to look after them. Wang Yue told her that the fields are gone and we won't give her any food, saying that the two of them are eating and drinking for free here all day and that they're already very sorry for us. I heard from Wang Yue this morning that she's clamoring to go back again. I think her illness has improved a little, but if she goes back like this, I'm afraid it'll get worse again in a few days. There are only two people in her family, and if she dies, what will happen to Chunhua?"

Shaking his head, Master Qi continued, "After thinking it over, I asked two of my men to go back with Chunhua to help her clean up those plots of land."

Chunhua is that little girl.

"This is a problem that needs to be solved as soon as possible," Chen Shao pondered, "I helped her clean up the house today. If she gets sick again in the future, I'm afraid she won't come to Huimin Pharmacy easily."

Qi Ye said: "We can't let her go back like this."

"We can't let her go back like this." Chen Shao nodded in agreement.

The ward was reached quickly.

Now, Chunhua's grandmother is not only in the ward, but also an old lady and a middle-aged woman. The old lady and the middle-aged woman are very thin, pale, and trying hard to endure the pain. Chunhua's grandmother looks much better than when she first came. She sits on the bed and chats with the other two.

Wang Yue was alone in the room taking care of them.
