Dream Broken You Pavilion

On the next day, when Qian Chongshu stepped into the gate of the state government office with steady steps, after Mr. Zhizhou Quan sat firmly on the desk in the lobby, there were two more chairs on both sides of the lower head, respectively sitting on the desk. Liu Yizhi and Xiao Han.

The eight yamen servants stood opposite each other in two rows holding killing power sticks.

When Liu Yizhi and the whole master saw Qian Chongshu, they stood up to greet him, but Xiao Han sat still.

The three greeted politely.

Seeing Xiao Han, Qian Chongshu couldn't help but feel his heart tighten, he hurriedly walked up to Xiao Han, clasped his fists and said:

"The next official pays homage to the Major General."

Xiao Han didn't get up, just looked at him with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "Master Qian is good."

Qian Chongshu was beating drums in his heart, smiling all over his face, and asked cautiously: "I don't know why the Major General is here?"

Xiao Han smiled slightly, and said calmly: "I heard that Mr. Qian almost had an accident when he first came to Xiangzhou this morning. This general is now the director of the supervisory department. Something happened to threaten my court officials in Xiangzhou. The general is going to ask, I don't know if Mr. Qian has any opinions?"

Qian Chongshu hurriedly clasped his fists and said: "Don't dare, the young general is a second-rank member of our Xiang country, and the lower official is just an imperial doctor. How dare he point fingers at the general. The lower official is only because what happened last night is related to the lower official, therefore Come here and ask the whole adult one or two."

Xiao Han said: "Since that's the case, let's sit down and listen to the trial together, Mr. Qian, and listen to what Lin Zihui has to say."

Qian Chongshu respectfully clasped his fists on his forehead: "Yes, yes, I obey orders."

The master hurriedly moved a stool, Qian Chongshu sat down on the chair generously, but felt uneasy in his heart.To say that although Master Quan and Liu Yizhi are higher officials than him, both of them are local officials, while he is from the Imperial Medical Bureau in front of the palace, Xiao Han is different. He is the commander-in-chief of the Shenlong Army, and he is also the chief of the newly-established supervisory department by the emperor, a second-rank official in the court. The primary responsibility of the supervisory department is to supervise the conduct and discipline of all officials and the trial of major cases. Therefore, he still feels a little apprehensive towards Xiao Han.

Now that Xiao Han actually intervened in this matter, he became more and more uneasy.

After everyone took their positions, Quan Zhe raised his hand and slapped the gavel, and shouted loudly: "Lead someone into prison."

The yamen servant under the hall hit the ground with his stick and shouted: "Mighty——"

Lin Zihui, who was in handcuffs and shackles, was escorted by two yamen servants into the hall. As soon as he came in, he saw Qian Chongshu who was sitting beside him. He was overjoyed and said urgently:

"Master Qian, cousin, I was wronged, you came to save me, right, cousin..."

Qian Chongshu frowned slightly, then turned his eyes to another place and stopped looking at him.

The yamen servant shouted loudly: "Kneel down!"

Accompanied by the intimidating sound of the killing stick hitting the ground, Lin Zihui held his head high and looked arrogant. A yamen servant stepped forward and hit him on the crook of his leg with a stick. Lin Zihui's leg softened and he knelt down down.

Quan Zhe's eyes were sharp, and he asked in a deep voice: "Who is in the hall, tell me your name."

Lin Zihui didn't know why he was arrested at all, and now seeing Qian Chongshu present, he became more courageous. He raised his head and said, "My imperial physician, Lin Zihui, what crime has he committed to be detained?"

Quan Zhe said: "I ask you, what did you go to the post station last night?"

Lin Zihui glanced at Qian Chongshu, and said cheerfully: "Of course I went to visit my cousin, Mr. Qian."

"When did you go?"

"Before and after child time."

"Why are you going so late?"

"Because I went to the barracks to see a doctor at night, and when I came back, my wife said that Mr. Qian had sent someone to look for me. I was afraid that there was something urgent, so I rushed there."

"Is there something urgent?" Quan Zhe asked, "Why do you have to talk about it in the middle of the night?"

"This..." Lin Zihui was taken aback, and said, "I don't know, if I want to know, do I have to go there at midnight?"

"The official asked you, how many times have you been to the post station?"

"How many more times? Of course just once."

"Just once? Why did someone see you twice?"

Lin Zihui was a little dazed, "Twice? Just once."

Quan Zhe grabbed something from the table and threw it at his feet, making a "clang".

"Whose is this?"

Seeing this dagger, Lin Zihui was stunned. Isn't this the short blade he used to assassinate Lin Tao? Why is it here?

"No, I don't know, it's not mine."

"You don't know? The officer will tell you that you bought this dagger from Zeng's blacksmith shop on West Street ten days ago. It still has the mark of Zeng's on it. Do you want me to call the boss to confirm it?"

There was panic in Lin Zihui's eyes, and he said, "No, I don't remember, even if I bought it, it doesn't prove what I did with it."

Quan Zhe said: "Are you suspecting that the officer went to your house and stole this dagger to frame you?"

Lin Zihui was dumbfounded, "I, I didn't mean that..."

"Are you going to use it to assassinate Mr. Qian?" Quan Zhe asked

"Why should I assassinate Mr. Qian? I have no reason?" Lin Zihui was stunned.

"The police found this thing on the table in Mr. Qian's room. Mr. Qian's entourage said that you were found by the entourage with a dagger in your hand, and you left it in a panic." Quan Zhe's words closely resembled one sentence.

"No, no, I didn't..." Lin Zihui stared.

"Then why did this thing appear in front of Mr. Qian? Could it be that Mr. Qian will frame you?" Quan Zhe spoke extremely fast, pressing every step of the way.

Lin Zihui widened his eyes and exclaimed: "How would I know?! This thing has already been lost, how could I use it to assassinate..."

Having said that, he suddenly shut up.

"Hey," Quan Zhe sneered, "'Obviously lost', I ask you, where did you lose it? Why did you lose it?"

Lin Zihui knew he had slipped his tongue, his eyes rolled wildly in his eyes, and then he straightened his neck and said, "It's just a dagger, I throw it wherever I like, anyway, I don't intend to assassinate Lord Qian."

"Then who are you planning to assassinate?"

"I'm going to... no, I'm not going to kill anybody."

Quan Zhe said coldly: "Then the official asked you, why have thousands of soldiers been sick in the past few months, and why have they been ill for a long time?"

"I do not know."

"You are an imperial doctor, you don't even know who knows?"

"Anyway, I don't know. My lord, you said that I was going to assassinate Mr. Qian at the inn, so you should interrogate him. As for the soldier's illness, this is a matter in the army. Lin Zihui is a military doctor, and it is not under your jurisdiction. Let’s ask these questions, isn’t it good?”

Xiao Han secretly praised in his heart: This adult is really experienced in handling cases, closely linked, pressing step by step, and changing the topic just right.Lin Zihui's assassination of Qian Chongshu was originally set up by himself to have an excuse to arrest him. Now that the man has come, he has already cut to the chase, so he should do it himself.

Xiao Han asked Qian Chongshu: "Master Qian, didn't you go to the army to see it? Did you ever find out why the soldiers were sick? Why didn't they heal for a long time?"

Qian Chongshu replied: "Leader General, I did see it yesterday, but the soldier's condition has obviously improved."

Xiao Han smiled and said, "Really, why did the soldier recover from his illness when your lord came?"

Qian Chongshu replied: "The lower officials didn't know what to do, they just came here to check on the sickness of the soldiers."

Xiao Han said: "If you don't look into the root cause, how can you get rid of the root cause? Master Qian, you can't just because the soldier's health has improved now and not investigate the reason why he couldn't recover for several months?"

Qian Chongshu respectfully said on his forehead, "Forgive me for my stupidity. If the general knows something, I hope you will tell the lower officials."

Xiao Han cursed secretly in his heart: Old fox, this is asking for information from me. Since you want to know, then this general will let you know clearly and clearly.

A cold smile touched Xiao Han's lips, and he raised his voice: "Today's case involves the assassination of a court official by Lin Zihui's post station. The presiding judge is Mr. Quan. Now that this person is related to military matters, it should be Liu's case." The general is presiding over the trial, since the person being tried is the same person, this general believes that the case should be heard jointly by Lord Quan and General Liu, what opinion does Lord Qian have?"

Qian Chongshu respectfully said: "The general has the final say, and the subordinate officials are only here to hear the trial, just to listen."

Xiao Han said: "Yes, you people from the Imperial Medical Bureau committed crimes, you should listen to it."

After saying that, he raised his hand towards General Liu and said, "General Liu, please take a seat."

Hearing this, Liu Yizhi was not polite, stood up, clasped his fist at Xiao Han, and said loudly:

"The last will obey!"

The yamen servant came over and moved his chair behind the presiding judge's desk, and placed it side by side with Quan Zhe.

In this way, two officials from the third grade, one civil and one military, began to interrogate the prisoner Lin Zihui, and the trial of the counterfeit medicine case officially began.

Lin Zihui had been in the Xiangzhou barracks for a long time, and he didn't recognize Xiao Han. Seeing what he said now, he couldn't help asking: "May I ask which general you are?"

Xiao Han smiled slightly, and replied: "Don't you know this general? Then, general, let me introduce myself. I am Xiao Han, the commander of the Shenlong Army, and now I am also the director of the Supervisory Department."

"Young, Young General?" Lin Zihui was stunned.

"It's the general. I don't know if Dr. Lin has any objections to the judgment made by the general just now?" Xiao Han asked lightly.

"My servant, no, I dare not."

Xiao Han's face suddenly turned pale, his eyes shot at Han Xing, and he said in a deep voice: "If you don't dare, answer the adults' questions properly!"

Lin Zihui's body suddenly trembled, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to say any more.

"Crack!" Quan Zhe patted the startling tree again, and the servants in the hall slammed down the stick, and then drank "mighty."

Liu Yizhi shouted loudly: "Lin Zihui, this general asks you, why are the soldiers' illnesses persisting for so long?"

Lin Zihui poked his neck and said, "I don't know."

Liu Yizhi said: "You don't know? The general will come and tell you. You use fake medicine to treat the soldiers. It's like clear soup and white water. How can the soldiers recover?"

Lin Zihui argued: "I don't have any. Those medicines are all obtained from the Military Supply Department. What does it have to do with me?"

Liu Yizhi's gaze was like a torch, and he said: "The ones you left behind are clean, and you received them from the military supply department, but you are a doctor, so you can't tell the difference between real and fake medicines? Then why did the soldiers never get cured for a long time, but the medicinal material warehouse burned down, and there were no more medicinal materials? The general started to investigate the source of medicinal materials, but the soldiers got better? Where did your real medicinal materials come from?"

Lin Zihui said: "Yes, the old stock."

"Stock?" Liu Yizhi sneered, "The day before the medicinal material storehouse was burned, we went to check your medical office, and all the medicines you put on the inspection were genuine. Someone checked the medicinal materials, so you started to use the real medicine, which is why the soldiers started to recover in the past two days, that is to say, in the past, all the medicines you used were fake!"

Lin Zihui retorted: "No, I didn't use fake medicine..."

"Lin Zihui, this general asks you, how did Wang Yun die?"

Lin Zihui said: "Wang Yun, didn't he commit suicide?"

Liu Yizhi said: "Does a person who commits suicide still bring a change of clothes? Does a person who commits suicide still carry a bank note? How does a person who hanged himself hang himself on a tree without even a stepping stone at his feet? A suicide Would a person with such a heart drive a silver needle into his brain?"

Beads of sweat dripped from Lin Zihui's brow, frightened by his rhetorical questions, and he said anxiously, "I really didn't kill Wang Yun."

Liu Yizhi shouted: "It's true that you didn't kill him, but you ordered him!"

Lin Zihui said: "It's not me, I didn't order anyone to kill someone."

"Then how did the warehouse get flooded?" Liu Yizhi asked.

"It has nothing to do with me." Lin Zihui continued to argue.

Liu Yizhi sneered and said, "Then who killed A Tao?"
