First Rank Female Coroner - C6

Chapter VI

Naturally, the head of the hospital was also alarmed, “I wonder what Miss has done, could it be that this old man has done something that has alarmed the Lord of the Punishment Department?”

Because it was the Ministry of Justice’s question in name, no one dared to be negligent. Before Xu Chu even sat down, the young servant had already finished his tea and came over quickly.

Hearing him say that, Xu Chu was not anxious at all. She said with a smile that was not a smile: “Master, you have to think carefully, this medallion was personally issued by the King Jing’an, and the case of the Qian Family had already been decided before the Duke. Even the County Magistrate does not dare to easily interfere. “I advise the head to think about it carefully. Don’t try to keep it a secret, the results of today’s interrogation and recording can only be limited to the Qian Family knowing about it, so there won’t be any problems in the infirmary.”

“Yes, yes, yes …” That head didn’t care if this matter was related to the King Jing’an, how could he dare to take this senior to task for it? He hurriedly agreed, “This old man understands the seriousness of this matter.”

The following questions were very smooth, there was no need for Xu Chu to scare them with her false might, the only thing left was the Master himself telling Doctor Liu and Doctor Li the truth. What the two of them said wasn’t wrong at all. They both said that it was difficult for the young madam to get pregnant due to her injuries. However, it wasn’t a blood loss in the first place.

The reason they hid the truth at that time was that the people beside the young mistress had threatened them. In order to protect their jobs, as well as not to get involved in any internal strife, the two of them had tacitly concealed the existence of the young mistress’ small fortune.

“Later on, the young madam came to ask me to mix some Drunken Face Incense for you. That medicine was taken by a group of people. At that time, they even thought that it was a pity for your intentions. No matter how much Drunken Face Incense there is, it would be impossible …” Doctor Li shook his head and sighed.

Both of them were afraid of being involved in a lawsuit, so they both knew what was going on. Now that they had finished their discussion in turns, they looked at Xu Chu with a nervous expression, not daring to be careless.

Until Xu Chu frowned and knocked on the table with her fingers, Doctor Li seemed to have suddenly thought of something and continued.

“It’s just that what’s strange is that young madam’s body is damaged, but later on when I helped young madam’s servant, Ying Er, to recuperate her body, I found out that the servant girl also had a severe cold and was unable to get pregnant.” This was because Ying Er had secretly visited the infirmary twice before to look for Doctor Liu’s pulse. At that time, Ying Er wore it very thickly in summer, so Doctor Liu still has a deep impression of it today.

“How so?” Xu Chu retracted her finger and looked over, causing Doctor Li’s body to tremble.

“At that time, the maid said that she caught the cold and covered her face. But from what I see, she doesn’t seem like the cold at all. I’m afraid she’s worried about losing her face.”

In the end, this was Yunying’s unmarried daughter’s house. Not only had her body suffered a loss, but she also seemed to have a love affair. No matter how one put it, it was not pleasant to listen to.

“Are you sure that person is Ying Er?”

“Of course I’m sure. The clothes of the Qian Family’s servants are all different, just like the clothes that the Young Mistress is wearing, which only Ying Er can wear. “Although she didn’t say much during the entire process, this humble commoner will definitely not admit it wrongly.”

Listening to the doctor’s words, Xu Chu’s heart became clearer and clearer. In other words, the doctor did not personally witness Ying Er at the time, and was only able to deduce that it was Ying Er based on her clothes. This was especially so when he flipped through the records of how the medicine was being concocted in Lingxiang’s hands. Lingxiang, although a spice, is also a Chinese medicine, Yao people commonly used vanilla decocting, abortion, and incense with contraception.

“Where is the shop assistant that was helping Ying Er get the medicine from today?”

Seeing Xu Chu’s question, the medicine master looked at the name on the booklet and exclaimed, “This Zhang Ah Fu said a few days ago that he had matters to attend to at home, and took a few days off from work, but he still hasn’t come back yet. “Yesterday, I even said that if he comes back, he would definitely deduct his wages. For his sake, I suddenly flung my hands, and the shop assistants who grabbed the medicine were all busy.”

When Xu Chu heard this, a thought flashed through her mind. She then decided to record the day she gave the birth control medicine to the Qian Family according to the booklet …

“Where is he from? What’s his character like?”

“Zhang Ah Fu is a member of the Jia Ding clan, he came from a poor family, so he came here as a lackey to seek peace. Humans are very diligent and learn things very quickly. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been unable to read a few large characters and recognize them as medicine concocting and would even become a shop assistant. ”

After that, Xu Chu did not ask anymore questions, and stood up to check on the room that Ah Fu was temporarily staying in. Inside was a large shared house, where the staff of the infirmary slept. Since they were all men, it couldn’t be considered neat and tidy.

Xu Chu carefully examined Zhang Ah Fu’s bedding, but saw that his clothes and shoes had not even been touched. She patted the pillow, but the touch was different from the hardness of the buckwheat skin. Without asking, she stretched out her hand to pull out the pillow core. Unexpectedly, there was a bunch of copper coins inside … From the looks of it, it seemed to be stored in private.

After asking them about it in the infirmary, Xu Chu noticed that they were not hiding anything and the two doctors did not seem to be lying, so Xu Chu did not delay any longer.

She had just checked the Qian House’s medical records, and discovered that other than Ying Er, there didn’t seem to be anything else that was out of the ordinary. Not only was there a problem with Ying Er’s pulse, even the waiter who picked the medicine for Ying Er had not returned home yet. As for the successor wife’s record, it was very clean. There was also the young master of the Qian family, everything seemed to be pointed towards Ying Er …

She couldn’t help but to slowly walk along the street, thinking about how to connect the few things in her mind. The indentations on Young Lady Qian’s back, Young Master Qian’s leg wound and jade pendant, as well as A Sheng who had flashed past and asked for her help in the dark.

Unknowingly, she raised her head and saw a spice shop. Suddenly, she thought of something. The reason why she had to say that Ying Er had a problem was because other than her background, she, a girl from Huang Hua Palace, had also caught a Zero Tomb Incense.

However, if someone took this opportunity to capture the Zero Tomb Incense, what would happen?

However, why was it like this? The backyard of the Qian House was not complicated. The only female member of the household other than the young mistress was the young mistress. No matter what, the two of them shouldn’t be rivals in love. What exactly was the reason behind the injury on the Young Lady Qian’s body? What role did she play in it?

Since Doctor Li had made it up with the Acacia Incense, why did the Young Master Qian stay in the study room at night without anything abnormal happening?

And that crazy wild cat …

In fact, Xu Chu only guessed half of what the wife said was about to be said. Presumably, the Young Master Qian was really resting in the study, because when she first looked over the main house of Wen Wan Yuan, she already noticed that the daily necessities of the man inside the room were extremely few, to the point where he didn’t seem like a male owner at all. And if the Young Master Qian was truly affected by the Acacia Incense and had made love with the Young Madam, there would probably be rumors in the residence as well. That wife would definitely know, at least she would hear the rumors, and not sigh at the fact that the Young Lady Qian was in an empty room alone. Although their relationship was good, there was no hope for it.

That night, the flowerbed of the brothel in the alley started a new round of noise. The business of the brothel and the Chu Clan was bustling with activity only at night, with charming and gentle smiles. As long as one had money, even if one was as ferocious as Luosha, it would still be terrifying to see a girl coming forward.

Furthermore, the young man in front of them was wearing a green robe and had a slender figure. He was clearly a man, but his skin was sparkling white. It had been a long time since he had seen such a handsome man in a brothel.

Therefore, without even needing Xu Chu to speak, a few ladies with thin clothes and fan in hand walked over and started teasing him.

“Young master, if you don’t come with me, I’m proficient in playing and singing. I can definitely make young master laugh without thinking.”

“What bullshit. As long as my young husband leaves with A’Xiang, A’Xiang won’t be able to take care of him for nothing.” With that, the lady directly sealed her red lips, and in that moment, two red marks appeared on Xu Chu’s white face.

Being pushed around by people who were soft and gentle, Xu Chu could not help but blush, and caused a few people to laugh. In the end, Xu Chu went to find the Spring Fragrance that had just been teasing her the most.

Reaching the second floor, Xu Chu coughed lightly and said, “Is A Xiang really giving me free?”

Chun Xiang’s charming eyes retracted as she put her hands on her hips and said, “You really came to eat an overlord’s meal?” When she finished, she saw that Xu Chu’s expression still did not change, and then she restrained her expression and said helplessly, “You’re holding a woman up, and not coming to the brothel to act like a prodigal son. Say it, what actually caused you to come here dressed up as a man?”

“I really came this time for a favor.” Xu Chu shrugged his shoulders and replied, “This time I’ll give you 50 taels of silver. I’ll give you 10% once the case is solved.”

“Pfft.” “Do you think that your mother would really covet your 10% silver taels? Not to mention the distance, even if the young master of the Tang Clan came here once, she would still get a little more than 10 taels of silver.”

Without considering what kind of situation Xu Chu was in, King Jing’an, who was currently reading official documents in the county, was listening to Wei Guang’s report with interest. He thought that she would directly go and ask questions, just like he was asking a doctor. He didn’t expect that she would actually go to a brothel and be a prostitute.

However, King Jing’an also had a guess, that the words spoken by the mortal woman were not true. The women of the brothel and the Chu Clan were willing to say anything for money. If it was by ordinary means, they might be able to get away with it. And Xu Chu’s way, also had a few reasons …

But where did she get the money? Thinking about it here, King Jing’an finally put down the document in his hand.
