Chapter 1727 Interrogation
Man Bao nodded repeatedly.
Xiao Yuan was continuing to mutter: "It was your initiative to open this Imperial Medical Office. You can't just leave it alone after getting the benefits. Look at my hair. How many gray hairs have I gained in the past six months? Also, I am the boss, and you are the boss."
Subordinate, don't always ask me to ask you to do work, you have to take the initiative, you know?"
Man Bao nodded repeatedly and couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Yuanzheng, did you eat duck mouth for lunch today?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said angrily: "No, I ate duck feet, otherwise do you think I can walk so fast now? Go and work for me quickly."
Manbao took the medical book she was assigned and ran away.
After handing over the task, Xiao Yuanzheng breathed a sigh of relief. He still trusted Zhou Man's work efficiency.
Manbao took the book back to the library and began to check it. At this time, Magistrate Tang was walking to the Shenxing Department.
As soon as he arrived at the execution chamber, he smelled the smell of blood. Eunuch Wu, who was listening to the interrogation, sneered and said to Xu Yu who was tied to the rack: "Xu Yu, if Dr. Zhou hadn't interceded for you, you would not have been able to survive this punishment.
Don't be so shameless. If you don't confess, our family will not stop them from being tortured."
Xu Yu lowered her head, and after a while she said in a hoarse voice: "Slave... I'm unjust, I really don't know anything..."
When Eunuch Wu saw that she was not getting enough food, he said to her left and right, "Forget it, let's go to the extreme punishment."
Xu Yu raised her eyelids slightly and saw them coming up with a bloody wooden shackle. She couldn't help but tremble all over, her hands trembled spasmodically, and finally she lowered her head.
Magistrate Tang also saw the wooden shackles, which were used to clamp the chest. He frowned slightly. After using this punishment, the person would probably not survive.
Everyone is dead, whether they are the real suspects or the real innocents.
He turned the corner and stopped.
When Eunuch Wu saw Magistrate Tang, he only bent down slightly and said: "Master Tang, Your Highness asked me to follow Master Yin's left side to listen to your orders. I didn't expect you to be here. If you have any orders, just tell us to do it."
Magistrate Tang smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, Eunuch Wu. I have something to ask Xu Yu. Can this wooden shackle be used again later?"
He said casually: "I just came from Dr. Zhou. Why, she asked my father-in-law to take care of Xu Yu?"
Eunuch Wu frowned and said, "Mr. Zhou was kind-hearted and begged for mercy from His Highness, but His Highness refused. He said he would spare her life, but our family sees that she is stubborn and will not shed tears until she sees the coffin."
County Magistrate Tang nodded to express his understanding, and then said: "Why don't you let me ask, maybe I can find out something. After all, she is the person who serves the Imperial Physician Zhou, and she is somewhat in love with her. She is really beaten to death."
not good."
Eunuch Wu thought for a moment and thought so. After talking for a while, his anger subsided a little, so he waved his hand to let people go down.
County Magistrate Tang stepped forward, walked around Xu Yu, then waved his hand and asked someone to bring her a glass of water. He first asked someone to feed her a sip of water before looking at her face and asking, "Mr. Zhou's injection"
Did you change the bag?"
Xu Yu couldn't even shake her head, but said in a weak voice: "No, I don't know anything about the needle bag."
"But the two chamberlains who went with you to deliver the medicine box said that you were the one who changed it."
Xu Yu's tears fell, "They lied and I was wronged. Why did I do such a thing?"
Magistrate Tang smiled and said, "You asked me instead. I should ask you this. Why would you do such a thing?"
Xu Yu shook her head with difficulty, expressed her denial and then stopped talking.
Magistrate Tang asked, "You have been seen more than once standing outside the window of Imperial Physician Zhou in the middle of the night and staring at her. Were you assigned to Imperial Physician Zhou from the beginning? Who was the person who ordered you?"
Xu Yu was stunned for a moment and then said: "I just got up to see if Dr. Zhou had any other instructions."
She said: "This slave serves Imperial Physician Zhou. Originally, it was common for palace maids to serve female officials and sleep on the female officials' feet to take orders. However, Imperial Physician Zhou is considerate of the slave and reciprocates his kindness, so the slave will naturally be more dedicated."
If Zhou Man hadn't said this, Magistrate Tang might still believe her words, but now he didn't believe her at all.
Some actions may indeed be misunderstood by others, but Zhou Man, as the person involved, is also sensitive and intelligent. He can be sure that she must have sensed something if she said that.
And people definitely have feelings about danger and dislike.
The expression on Magistrate Tang's face didn't change much. He didn't seem to have listened to her discerning words, but he seemed to have listened again.
He asked: "How many times have you done this?"
Xu Yudao: "I don't remember, but when Dr. Zhou first entered the palace, I got up almost every night to check on the situation."
She paused and then said: "This servant indeed has selfish motives for doing this. Everyone knows why Dr. Zhou came to live in the palace. She did it for the crown prince and crown princess. As long as she can ensure that the crown prince gives birth to a grandson, not only will she be able to
The Crown Prince and Crown Princess are very respectable even to His Majesty and the Queen."
"I just want to do my best and build a good relationship with Dr. Zhou. If she can say a word for me in the future, I may be promoted to a female officer." Xu Yu seemed to be in better spirits. She raised her head and looked at Tang
The county magistrate shook his head slightly excitedly and said: "Although I have selfish motives, I never thought of harming Dr. Zhou."
"Really?" County Magistrate Tang didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he changed his voice and said, "Tell me about the situation that day. When did you meet the servant of the Crown Princess who came over to the Imperial Physician Xuan Zhou? What were you doing at that time? What were you around?
Who is there?"
Xu Yu had already answered these questions before, and now he was just answering them again. However, Magistrate Tang asked the questions again after asking them in different order...
Magistrate Tang asked these questions back and forth seven or eight times. In the end, Xu Yu's voice was weak when she answered. She was tied up and injured. It was already very painful, and she was asked the same questions again and again.
, she almost collapsed.
Not to mention her, even Eunuch Wu, who was listening on the sidelines, was about to collapse.
Magistrate Tang asked again: "Where was Imperial Physician Zhou's medicine box placed in the house at that time?"
Xu Yu replied groggily: "On a shelf on the bookshelf..."
Xu Yu's body trembled slightly. This question had never appeared before. She knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she could only keep an expressionless face and added weakly, "The doctor Zhou's medicine box is usually placed in that position..."
Magistrate Tang interrupted her and asked, "Were you and the chambermaid named Wang Yu going out to see Dr. Zhou on the same journey?"
These questions have already been asked.
Xu Yu answered again in pain. Magistrate Tang repeatedly asked these questions back and forth. Her answer was exactly the same every time, without even adding or subtracting many words.
