Chapter 1836: Can face be trusted?
Of course, faces are unreliable.
Yan Ruyu has a deep understanding of this.
However, without seeing the face, it would seem that the evidence for what Zhou Shan described was insufficient.
Although what he said makes sense.
The scar, the knife, and the voice.
Yan Ruyu didn't answer: "Go on."
Zhou Shan's face looked a little ugly at this time, his brows were frowned, and he held his head with both hands, seeming to be in pain.
Doctor Cao quickly supported him and took his pulse with one hand.
After taking the pulse, he shook his head at Yan Ruyu.
Too much has been said, and Zhou Shan was greatly traumatized, so it is not appropriate to force himself to recall the past now.
Although Yan Ruyu felt regretful, she had no choice but to stop.
Even in modern times, when interrogating a prisoner in a hospital, you have to listen to the doctor.
What's more, Zhou Shan is not a criminal yet.
"Treat him well and try to get him back to health," Yan Ruyu stood up and put two packets of fruit tea on the table. "What he said is very important."
Doctor Cao had been listening in, so he naturally understood.
"Okay, don't worry."
Yan Ruyu turned and walked out, and Huo Changhe and Cui Chong in the yard also turned back.
"How is it?" Huo Changhe asked.
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "He hasn't fully recovered yet, so we can't talk about it now."
Huo Changhe nodded slightly: "Don't worry too much, there is no rush for this matter."
Cui Chong glanced into the room and said sincerely, "Princess, Huanfeng will never commit suicide."
Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "This princess understands your feelings, but you were not there at the time and did not see it with your own eyes. When investigating a case, the most taboo thing is to have preconceived ideas, be biased, and act impulsively."
Cui Chong lowered his head in shame: "Yes, the princess is right."
"This princess is not teaching you a lesson, but reminding you that you have power and are the most capable person around Governor Cao, so you should be especially careful in this regard."
Cui Chong was stunned for a moment, then he tightened his grip on the knife handle and nodded solemnly: "Yes, I will remember this."
He bowed and walked away, and Huo Changhe held Yan Ruyu's hand.
"What did Cui Chong say?" Yan Ruyu asked.
"He said that Li Huanfeng was cheerful and heroic, a man who didn't care about life and death. He would never be pessimistic and give up on the world, and he would definitely not commit suicide."
Huo Changhe sighed softly: "Actually, I also find it strange. That was on the battlefield. They rushed out desperately. Death is the easiest thing. Except for Zhou Shan who was lucky enough to survive, everyone else around him died."
"If death is so easy, why did he commit suicide?"
Yan Ruyu frowned: "Do you feel that there is no hope of breaking through and feel ashamed of your father's trust?"
Before Huo Changhe answered, Yan Ruyu felt something was wrong.
Breaking out is a life-threatening situation, and they all know how slim the hope is.
According to Cui Chong, Li Huanfeng hoped to die on the battlefield. He was ready to die, even if death was the way he hoped for. So why did he commit suicide?
Makes no sense.
Huo Changhe said in a deep voice: "Yu'er, Zhou Shan's mountain, do you think what he said is true?"
This is also what Yan Ruyu is worried about.
If Zhou Shan is a complete trap, then nothing he says can be trusted.
Yan Ruyu groaned: "My intuition tells me that he is not lying."
"Your Majesty, you and I can imagine that Li Huanfeng's suicide is strange, but couldn't Zhou Shan imagine it? If he could, why did he use this excuse?"
He could have said too much, or simply said that Li Huanfeng did not rush out and was killed by the enemy, which would not arouse suspicion.
Why do you say that?
"Could it be that they are trying to drag Li Fangshan into this?" Huo Changhe said, "If it is determined that Li Huanfeng committed suicide, then Li Fangshan is not innocent."
"Why? What's the connection between the two? Does the son's suicide prove that the father is a traitor?"
Yan Ruyu shook her head: "That doesn't make sense."
"The reason why we think this way is because we were influenced by Zhou Shan's words."
Huo Changhe thought about it carefully and realized that it was true.
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, I have a way that I would like to try."
Huo Changhe understood almost immediately, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Okay."
……
An hour later, Doctor Cao took Zhou Shan out of the mansion.
Doctor Cao suggested that Zhou Shan go back to the pharmacy and change his environment. He was under too much pressure in the palace, which was not conducive to his recovery.
As they got on the carriage, Doctor Cao comforted them: "Don't be afraid, it's okay, I'll take you to another place."
Zhou Shan was still a little timid, but he trusted Military Doctor Cao.
Get on the carriage and head towards the small pharmacy.
When they arrived at the market, Doctor Cao stopped the carriage.
"I'm going downstairs to buy some food. Do you want to come with me?"
Although Zhou Shan had been wandering the streets before, he was a beggar, which was very different from what he is now.
Zhou Shan hesitated for a moment, nodded in agreement, followed Doctor Cao out of the carriage, and followed closely.
He examines whatever Doctor Cao buys.
"There's a candy store in front, go check it out."
Doctor Cao unknowingly treated Zhou Shan as a person with a brain problem who had not yet recovered, and treated him like a child.
Zhou Shan nodded and followed.
The street was very busy and there were quite a lot of people. Doctor Cao went to a stall selling sugar cakes, picked out a few pieces and weighed them. When he turned around, he found that Zhou Shan was gone.
"Zhou Shan!"
Zhou Shan was in a small alley at this time, and opposite him was a man in tight clothes.
"Zhou Shan, do you think I can't do anything to you just because you hide in the palace?"
Zhou Shan looked at him fearfully: "Who are you? I don't know you."
The man sneered: "Okay, stop pretending, you are not really stupid."
Zhou Shan pursed his lips and said nothing.
"When will you pay me back the money you owe me? The money in the palace is good, right?"
"Look at the clothes you are wearing. They are much better than what you wore before."
The man reached out to touch her, but Zhou Shan dodged him: "Don't touch my clothes."
The man was a little annoyed: "Who wants to touch your clothes? Pay me back quickly. I've made you owe me for so long. That's enough."
Zhou Shan lowered his head: "I didn't go to the palace to cheat money."
"Why not cheat for money? You don't want to work in the palace, do you?" The man couldn't help laughing. "You lost your job in the military camp earlier. If you hadn't pretended to be dead and stupid, would Li Fangshan have let you go?"
"His son died, but you survived. You are the only one alive among so many people. Can you run away?"
Zhou Shan stepped back: "I'm not, I didn't."
"Stop pretending to me. You are not a good person. You want to play innocent now? Impossible."
As he was speaking, Doctor Cao's voice was heard.
"Zhou Shan, Zhou Shan, where are you?"
The man pointed at Zhou Shan and whispered, "I will come to find you again. Don't think you will be alright if you hide in the palace."
After saying that, he quickly ran away from the other side of the alley.
Zhou Shan turned around, walked quickly out of the alley, and met up with Doctor Cao.
As soon as Doctor Cao saw him, without saying a word, the two of them immediately got into the carriage.
After giving the order, the carriage turned around and went straight back to the palace instead of going to the pharmacy.
Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were waiting in the front hall.
As soon as they returned to the house, they strode to the front hall.
"How is it?" Huo Changhe asked.
Doctor Cao glanced at Zhou Shan and smiled faintly.
Zhou Shan nodded, his expression completely different from before.
