There was silence.

Just when Deng Wenliang felt that the sweat on his back also came out, Master Nie spoke: "Okay, Dr. Deng's words, why not a daughter?" ”

After that, he nodded to Nie Le.

Nie Le made a trick again, took out two large ingots of gold, and put them on the table, four huge gold ingots, lined up, shining with a strange luster.

Deng Wenliang couldn't help but swallow another mouthful of saliva.

"That's all the money for the consultation - it's wrapped up for Dr. Deng."

Nie Le spread out an extremely inconspicuous burlap, put the four ingots of gold on them one by one, and neatly formed a package.

"Please Dr. Deng for a reward."

Nie Le handed his hands in front of Deng Wenliang, Deng Wenliang took it, his hand sank suddenly, and he almost didn't stabilize it.

He breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling unreal: Two hundred taels of gold, this is ...... Returned to me?

There was a slight tremor in his voice: "Thank you...... Master Nie. ”

"You're welcome." Master Nie said calmly, "However, although it is redundant, I still have to say a few more words in the future." ”

"Huh? Master Nie commanded. ”

"Someone in the family has this disease, which is considered a misfortune for the lintel, and this matter is not enough to be humane with outsiders."

What's the point? Deng Wenliang nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the doctor originally wanted to hide the disease for the patient, and the contemptible person must be tight-lipped." ”

"If you don't have a name, you can't say it—just as the royal court sentenced it to Dr. Deng."

Deng Wenliang's heart was shocked, the sweat on his back suddenly seeped out, and he said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes!" I. I. Belch. If you are despicable...... Never been to the house. ”

"That's it—the thing...... Even if there is a word and a half, we will know. ”

"Yes, yes!"

"However, Dr. Deng came to the cold house, after all, someone knows, such as the judgment of the royal court-if the senior brother asks, how should the junior brother answer?"

Senior brother, junior brother?

They even know that?

Deng Wenliang smiled and said, "Master Nie, don't worry. The royal court judged that there would not be so many things, and besides, what the contemptible man said today could be regarded as -"

He originally wanted to say, "What the contemptible people said today can be regarded as leaking the news of the royal court's judgment." ——The implication: I leaked the news of others, how can I tell the truth to others? So, you Master Nie don't have to worry that I'll tell you about today's matter.

However, on second thought, I said so. I'm afraid that it will be even more suspicious: if you can leak the "news" of "the royal court's judgment", why can't you leak the "news" of "my side"?

This is not true!

Therefore. He swallowed back the second half of the sentence, paused, and said, "But, in case—uh, the villain is saying just in case, in case the royal court intervenes, the villain will say, just say, just say...... Uh, please show Master Nie, the villain should ...... How to phrase it? ”

Unknowingly, Deng Wenliang's self-proclaimed self-proclaimed person has changed from a "contemptible person" to a "villain".

"Let's just say it's better to turn back halfway - halfway through the news from the patient's family that the patient at home has passed away."

Deng Wenliang's heart was fiercely cold, and he nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, the villain is allowed to say so." ”

"As for me at the door of the 'Fu Zihao'......"

Deng Wenliang was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted: "The villain has never been to the Zun Mansion, so naturally he has no chance to know Jing, how can he know...... This, what happened at the door of 'Fu Zihao'? ”

Master Nie smiled slightly and said, "Okay, Dr. Deng is really a believer—in the future, maybe there will be something to borrow." ”

Later? Borrowing? Deng Wenliang's heart trembled: Is it a curse, is it a blessing?

"Don't dare, if Master Nie is sent, the villain should do the work of dogs and horses."

"Okay, everything is please-Nie Le, send Dr. Deng back to the city!"

The little emperor had red spots on his body, and the relevant news came out of the palace from the "green sparrow". What kind of illness this is, the Military Adjustment Office quickly made a preliminary judgment. However, "Qingque" is not a doctor, limited by his age and limited knowledge, so naturally he cannot "make a decision" based on his description alone.

According to the rules, in addition to the two records of the Imperial Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy, a copy must be copied to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Minister of Military Aircraft and the Minister of Imperial Front can check it at any time in the above places - usually to the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

If the emperor is seriously ill, another copy of the pulse case will be sent to the Military Aircraft Department.

Therefore, the pulse case written by Wang Shouzheng was easily obtained by the Military Adjustment Department, but at a glance, he knew that it was all nonsense, lies, and prescriptions, such as almonds, duckweed, raw land, peony skin, and honeysuckle, which were also nonsense and had no substantive value.

Originally, when the little emperor was in the "outer house", he casually found an excuse and sent a doctor in to "visit" with his own eyes, and the results obtained were the most reliable. However, as soon as the little emperor fell ill, he couldn't go anywhere, and he couldn't get out of the Taiji Palace, let alone out of the palace; And when the erythema subsides, even if you leave the palace, there is nothing to see.

Therefore, this matter still has to fall on Wang Shouzheng.

Coercing and luring Wang Shouzheng and telling him to tell him to tell the truth is the most direct and simple way, especially if Guan Zhuofan comes forward in person, Wang Shouzheng will definitely not be able to withstand the pressure, there must be one to say one, and two to say. However, in this way, it is not good to continue to play stupid - at least between Guan Zhuofan and Wang Shouzheng. If Guan Zhuofan is "exposed" too early, he will take the relevant political risks prematurely, and at the same time, it will also increase the probability of the "Yellow Sparrow Operation" going wrong, which is very unwise.

If there is an alternative path, it is best not to take this path.

Then keep an eye on Wang Shouzheng first.

The important figures of the Tai Hospital, such as the court envoys, the left court judges, and the right court judges, have long been "filed" in the Military Adjustment Department. Wang Shouzheng's various materials, including his most important social relationship, the "Men'er Qing" of the Military Coordination Office - for example, among his peers, his colleague Deng Wenliang was his best friend.

After the "yellow finch" began to be "fed", the left and right courts of the Tai Hospital were sentenced to be included in the "first-class monitoring object" at the same time, and basically every move was under the supervision of the military investigation department within 24 hours. Of course, when they are in the palace, the monitoring is weaker, but it is not that no one is staring at them.

As soon as he returned to the "Tai Hospital Office" located in the east of the South Three Institutes, he asked someone to do two things for him out of the palace: one was to go to Dongxing Building to set a "most quiet private room"; The first is to send a post to Deng Wenliang and make an appointment to meet in "Dongxing Building".

The Military Investigation Department made a judgment: The appointment between Wang and Deng is very likely to be related to the illness of the little emperor.

Immediate action: first, to monitor the conversation between Wang Shouzheng and Deng Wenliang; Second, "block" Deng Wenliang.

However, the operation of eavesdropping on the conversation between Wang Shouzheng and Deng Wenliang did not go well.

Originally, this was a familiar way for the Military Coordination Department: to charter the private room next door where Wang and Deng met, and then make a little change to the partition and install a "bugging", and the sound next door would be quite clear.

This "eavesdropper" is, of course, not a modern electronic eavesdropper, but is made up of a section of hollow bamboo pipes, which can be described as a "bugging tube". This kind of private room, are separated by wooden planks instead of brick walls, can drill a hole in the wooden board, with bamboo pipes, naturally the most ideal, if it is not convenient, it does not matter, the roof of Chinese architecture, most of them are beam-lifting structure, each room, through the roof, is actually interconnected. Connect a few more sections of bamboo pipes, and through the roof, the "ears" can "grow" next door.

In this era, although there are no electronic bugs and other things, the effect of short-distance monitoring through this method is not bad.

Even if the private room next door has been booked, you can ask the restaurant to change to another room for a lot of money.

The problem is that Wang Shouzhengbao's "Fu Zihao" opens the door on one side and the windows on the other three sides, and there is no "next door" at all.

Hey, three sides are empty, this is a god horse pattern?

The location of "Fu Zihao" was originally a long hanging terrace, the terrace faces the alley, usually there is no much use, "Dongxing Building" business is too good, in order to expand the business area, this terrace is closed, changed into several "private rooms".

However, the terrace is suspended, and the load-bearing capacity of the wooden frame is limited, so I dare not make use of all the terraces, but set up a "private room" at intervals, so as a result of the transformation, these private rooms have become windows on three sides.

Several private rooms, including "Fu Zihao", have become the "quietest" private rooms in Dongxing Building because of this special pattern, and are very popular with guests who want to talk about some privacy and confidential matters, but for the Military Coordination Office, it is troublesome: there is no "next door" to speak of, and how to eavesdrop?

Of course, you can also use both soft and hard, and ask the restaurant to change the royal court to a "private room" with "next door". However, in this way, Wang Shouzheng will inevitably be dissatisfied, and maybe cancel the reservation and choose another place to meet with Deng Wenliang, which will not only cause trouble, but even have the risk of startling the snake.

Eavesdropping still needs to be eavesdropping, but you can only listen to a few words unclearly at the door - roughly similar to Deng Wenliang's conjecture.

can't put the treasure on eavesdropping, the focus of action has to be on "blocking" Deng Wenliang.

Of course, the eavesdropping is still useful, at least, it confirms the previous judgment of the Military Investigation Department: Wang Shouzheng made an appointment with Deng Wenliang, and it was indeed for the little emperor's illness.

As mentioned earlier, Deng Wenliang was "blocked" all the way into a small farmhouse outside the city. That is, when he is in the hub, he can't help but not tell the truth. If Deng Wenliang is not tempted, the Military Adjustment Department will naturally have tougher measures, Dr. Deng is not judged by the royal court, not an official of the imperial court, even if he evaporates from this world, he will not be able to set off any storms.

The problem is that in this world, there is no family surnamed Nie whose ancestors "do tea, horses, and grain business", and the very handsome "Master Nie" is Chen Yicheng, director of the Xuanjun Military Dispatch Department.

That night, a secret letter of the "Red Three" level was placed on Guan Zhuofan's desk, and after decryption, there were only seven words in it: "Yellow Sparrow dyes red, confirmed." ”

Guan Zhuofan was silent for a long time.
