Chapter 320 The Secrets of the Palace(2/2)
Zhang Yanling nodded and said, "Then you go out first. My master will go to Guantao and wait for the next time to meet."
Zhang Yanling did not directly express his support or not. Lu Yu might also understand that if Zhang Yanling could ask him to inquire about this matter, he had achieved his goal. After saluting, he said, "Then the student will be waiting for the grand ceremony in Guantao."
...
...
Zhang Yanling has met Lu Yu.
Back in the room where she lived, Mrs. Xu was rushing to deal with some of the accounts in her hands.
"Master, can you discuss the matter?" Mrs. Xu came up and didn't ask what was going on. She probably felt that Zhang Yu's purpose was not simple.
Zhang Yanling sat down, drank a cup of tea, but did not hide it. He roughly explained what he had said to Lu Yu before to Mrs. Xu.
Mrs. Xu frowned and said, "There are many famous doctors on the ground in Shandong, but I'm sorry for being ignorant and don't know who this old friend of the Prince Zhang is."
Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "I think why I diagnose his wife and old friends are all pretenses. In fact, Zhang Yu knew the value of this person's hand and wanted to use this to get the health care technique in the room and achieve his own goal. I really didn't see Zhang Yu so scheming before."
"Master, Mr. Zhang came to ask for help from his old friend. Why did you say that he was so unbearable?" Mrs. Xu was a little puzzled.
Zhang Yanling smiled but refused to answer.
He could not tell Mrs. Xu in detail about the clues he noticed in Lu Yu.
"I happen to have a business in Guantao, so I will send someone to send a message to ask about the specific situation in Guantao, and find out the matter for the master..." Mrs. Xu probably also understood the purpose of Zhang Yanling and herself.
This is because she does not want to use the means of the court to investigate the information, but goes along the way.
"Yes." Zhang Yanling nodded and agreed.
Mrs. Xu hurriedly packed the account books and wrote a letter out immediately. Then Zhang Yanling called Nan Laise to the door and passed the letter out. She asked someone to send the message out overnight.
...
...
The next day, Zhang Yanling and his party continued to set off.
In this era, when you go south by land, you have to cross mountains and ridges and cross states and provinces. It is good to walk seventy or eighty miles a day. Guantao is not a must-pass place for Guan Road south. Even if you have to go there, you have to walk for seven or eight days.
But just three days later, Mrs. Xu checked back what Zhang Yanling wanted to know with a quick horse.
"Master, it seems you don't have to rush there. The news I just learned said that the Doctor Lu you are looking for was taken by Guantao County five days ago and is now in the prison cell in Guantao County."
Mrs. Xu summarized the investigation information and displayed it in front of Zhang Yanling.
The imperial physician is named Lu Hong, who is 54 years old. After leaving the palace, he has lived in Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong for 20 years. He has been opening a medical clinic in the local area. His experience as an imperial physician has also enabled him to have a prosperous business and live without worries about food and clothing.
"Dr. Lu had children in his early years, but died early. Now he has only one daughter and has another apprentice. The two inherited his mantle. This time, the Doctor Lu was taken by Guantao County with his disciples."
"oh?"
Zhang Yanling suddenly remembered that Lu Yu finally mentioned inadvertently that he seemed to be heading south with the people sent by Lu Hong.
If Lu Hong was arrested with his male apprentice, would this person who came to the north to deliver the message be his daughter?
Hey!
No wonder you, Lu Yu, are so concerned about this matter. After telling me, you will leave overnight and don’t walk with me. You guys have ulterior motives.
If Lu Hong had no son and had his daughter inherited his legacy, wouldn’t it be that the house curtain health technique was also inherited by his daughter…
Tsk tsk.
"Master?" Mrs. Xu looked at Zhang Yanling in confusion.
Zhang Yanling said: "Since everyone has fallen into the hands of the government, the Jinyiwei has left early. When the people have arrived in the hands of Deng Bing, the commander of the Jinyiwei in Nanjing, it seems that it will be futile for me to go again."
Mrs. Xu thought Zhang Yanling was thinking about this before, and she explained: "I just received the news that Commander Deng had set out earlier, but was not heading towards Dongchang Prefecture, but towards Dengzhou Prefecture..."
One is in the south, the other is in the east...
"Ha ha."
"Why did the master laugh?"
"Lu Hong thought the deadline was approaching, but he didn't know that he was not qualified. It seemed that we should hurry up and stop the person before Deng Bing arrived."
"But Master, the man has entered the county jail cell..."
Zhang Yanling slapped the lid of the tea bowl in his hand and said, "What can I do to a small magistrate of Guantao County? If I really get a practical and effective health care technique for the house curtain... God really helps me! Current affairs can be regarded as helping me. The people sent by Zhang Yu want to get water from the bamboo basket, but they are not qualified to take people out of prison."
"It's better to go quickly than to go quickly. Haha."
Zhang Yanling was very proud.
