Chapter 19 The Third Hand
But what surprised Lin Xing was that as soon as she arrived in front of the Prince's Mansion, she was invited in by Zhang Ping who was waiting outside.
"But the prince asked you to wait here?" Lin Xing asked Zhang Ping while walking under the eaves of the corridor.
"Exactly." Zhang Pingping looked anxious, quietly observing her expression from the corner of his eye, and said, "Just an hour ago, Yang Pei'an came to visit and said that the Zhao family was suspected of selling illegal salt and had been targeted by the salt inspector sent by the capital.
Up."
Hearing this, Lin Xing couldn't help being shocked, stopped and asked, "Is this really related to the Zhao family?"
"The results have not been found yet."
Zhang Ping's answer failed to reassure Lin Xing. It wasn't until she saw Zhou Yan leaning on the bed with a calm expression that her heart felt strangely settled.
"The prince is so leisurely, do you think he already has a plan to deal with it?" Lin Xing sat down next to Zhou Yan, her eyes fell on him and looked at him.
She was betting that Zhou Yan would not put such a piece of fat meat from the Zhao family to other people's mouths. Even if the Zhao family was really related to the sale of illegal salt, he would find a way to pick it out.
"This matter has nothing to do with Brother Zhao." Zhou Yan only gave her this answer.
If it has nothing to do with Zhao Yi, it has to do with the rest of the Zhao family.
"As long as it has nothing to do with the Zhao family's main house." Lin Xing breathed a sigh of relief, "After all, the family has been separated. Not only is there a deed, but also the people of Yuzhou have witnessed it. Even if the Da Luo gods in the sky come, they can't say that I will go."
After her mind calmed down, Lin Xing had doubts again.
She clutched the handkerchief thoughtfully and said: "Mr. Zhao and Zhao Jing rarely ask about the business of the shop, let alone find channels to buy and sell private salt. Even ten of them would not dare to do this. Someone must have framed them.
, but I didn’t expect that I would choose to go to the Zhao family to separate the family at this time."
Thinking clearly about the joints, Lin Xing suddenly felt a chill running down her spine.
If she hadn't signed the family separation deed, the Zhao family's eldest family would not have escaped disaster at this time!
"Don't worry, even if the person behind you wants to mess up the Zhao family, he won't send you and Zhao Jie in." Zhou Yan looked at her with a smile. Seeing her pale face, he handed her a cup of tea, "I don't see you like this.
You look so frightened, aren't you a god? How about waving your sleeves and letting the person behind you reveal his true form?"
"If I were really a god, I would be the first to sew your mouth shut." Lin Xing took the tea cup, raised her eyebrows, and hummed.
The two were chatting about everyday things, seemingly joking, but the other party knew in his heart that to be able to join forces with the Salt Patrol to frame the Zhao family, and to do it without anyone noticing, there must be no ordinary people behind it.
Lin Xing felt depressed.
Dafang is really troubled. First, Zhao Yi died, and now he was framed by someone. Even the Zhao family could not escape the disaster. Who is the third hand behind this stirring up the storm?
Based on Lin Xing's limited understanding of this era, her most direct guess is that the person on the golden chair is the one on the golden chair. However, if it were him, he would not have such gentle methods.
As the saying goes, thunder and rain are all gifts from the emperor. If the emperor wants a businessman's property, how can the businessman refuse?
Therefore, the most likely possibility is... "Is there a prince in the court?" Lin Xing asked.
Zhou Yan's eyes flashed with surprise, "Why did you think of the prince?"
"Who else could it be besides him?" Lin Xing did not regard Zhou Yan as an outsider and told him her guess.
Unexpectedly, despite the heavy fog in front of her, she could see through the essence and guess who the prince was. The admiration in Zhou Yan's eyes almost turned into reality, surrounding Lin Xing tightly.
"I didn't tell you before because I was afraid that you would be afraid." Zhou Yan took a deep breath, pulled the rope beside the bed, and paused for a moment.
At this moment, Lin Xing heard a sound of footsteps, which surrounded the prince's bedroom. Not even a fly could fly in, which showed how important what he was going to say next was.
"The bird's kiss poison that Zhao Yi was infected with is unique to Da Nei, and Dongling Pharmacy was opened by a cousin of the Crown Prince's mother's family. This relationship is very hidden. If I didn't have some connections, I don't think I would have been able to find out.
.”
The first few words left Lin Xing stunned and stunned, but the following words changed her view of the prince.
At first she thought that although Zhou Yan was capable, he was limited to Yuzhou City, but she did not expect that he could even find out the clue hidden by the prince.
This person is more powerful than she imagined. It seems that she has got the right thigh. As long as Zhao Jie is still useful to Zhou Yan in the future, he will definitely protect Zhao Jie Zhouquan.
Lin Xing carefully hid her expression to prevent Zhou Yan from seeing her little thoughts.
Little did he know that Zhou Yan had never taken his eyes away from her, and he had seen the surprise in her eyebrows and little-known calculations early in the morning.
I just don’t know what this sister-in-law is planning.
Zhou Yan curled up the corners of his lips, put a fist against his lips, covered his smile, and continued: "Brother Zhao was summoned by the Crown Prince Wei when he was doing business in the capital, and he left the capital not long after that.
Returned to Yuzhou. If I guessed correctly, it was that time that made the prince hate him and ordered the Zhao family to poison him."
"Can you find out what the doctor of the Zhao family has committed?" Lin Xing listened and asked thoughtfully, "The Zhao family owns a drug store. If there is no suitable excuse to change the drug supplier rashly, Zhao Yi will also notice it.
, unless they bribe Zhao Yi’s doctor and ask him to suggest going to Dongling Pharmacy to buy medicine.”
Although Zhaoji Pharmacy is not the largest pharmacy in Yuzhou, it has a wide range of medicines. Zhao Yi will never change medicine suppliers for the sake of insurance.
And the doctor who could treat him must be someone he trusted very much, so if the doctor mentioned Dongling Pharmacy, Zhao Yi would never doubt it.
"Mrs. Sister-in-law is indeed smart." Zhou Yan nodded with a smile, "The doctor who treated Brother Zhao was named Fan Wencheng. After Brother Zhao fell ill, he messed around with a maid from Feihong Hospital and misplaced the dose of medicine, causing Zhao Yi to be poisoned. This
Zhao Jing caught him in the act, and it became a handle for Zhao Jing to blackmail him."
Lin Xing knew the key as soon as she heard it, "Isn't that maid arranged by Zhao Jing?"
After saying that, seeing the weird smile on Zhou Yan's face, Lin Xing knew that her guess was correct, and only Zhao Jing could do such a despicable thing.
"So, they have been planning to poison Zhao Yi for a long time." Lin Xing scheduled the time in her mind.
Zhao Yi was discussing business in the capital, but declined the prince's advances, and was resented by the prince.
Back in Yuzhou, Zhao Yi was poisoned and bedridden.
Zhao Jing set up a trap to threaten the doctor and asked him to persuade Zhao Yi to change his drug supplier. The Zhao family succeeded and poisoned Zhao Yi to death.
This can explain why Zhao Yi is taking care of the Zhao family's business, but Zhao Yi's death did not bring any impact to the Zhao family.
Because these people have known it for a long time.
Thinking of this, Lin Xing glanced at Zhou Yan again and couldn't help but ask: "Since the prince has been found, why is the prince still willing to wade into this muddy water?"
The difference between a prince and a prince is the difference between a king and a minister.
