Luo Mansion, three days after sending the letter to Luo Zhang, Wu Shaobin finally received Luo Zhang's reply. Looking at the matters mentioned in the letter, Wu Shaobin couldn't help laughing and murmured to himself: "Brother-in-law still has a way, eldest grandson Wuji, let’s see how you respond this time!”
With that said, Wu Shaobin did not dare to neglect and hurriedly walked out of his house to arrange things.
In Changsun Mansion, just as Changsun Wuji and the elder were discussing how to discuss Chu Suiliang's affairs with Li Daozong in detail in the evening, the housekeeper outside the door hurriedly walked in, holding a letter in his hand.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji hurriedly asked: "What happened again? Look at you, how do you look like the housekeeper of my Changsun Mansion? Didn't I tell you to be calm when encountering trouble? If you continue to be careful like this, I will ask you to clean the latrine!"
"The master of the house taught you a lesson, but this is indeed an emergency, that's why I'm like this!" the housekeeper said with a bitter face.
"What's the matter?" Changsun Wuji raised his head and looked at the housekeeper.
"Someone just sent a letter, saying that it must be handed over to you, and also asked whether the things he wanted were ready! I thought of the master, so I didn't dare to neglect and ran over!" The housekeeper said and handed over the letter. The letter was placed on Changsun Wuji's desk.
"Huh? Did the master send someone here?" As he said this, Changsun Wuji wanted to grab the letter, but he stopped when he reached it, looked at the housekeeper and said, "Come and open it for me!"
"Ah, this... Patriarch, how about I find someone to open it?" the housekeeper said with some fear. He was also present when Old Poison treated Changsun Wuji that day. Naturally, he knew how scary Old Poison was, so the Patriarch asked him to open it. The letter was obviously afraid of being poisonous, and he was naturally afraid as well, and naturally he didn't want to die in vain.
"Huh? You don't listen to my orders anymore?" Changsun Wuji snorted softly.
The housekeeper felt bitter in his heart, and naturally he had to listen to Changsun Wuji's words. Since the head of the family asked him to open it, he could only open it, otherwise he would have to think about the consequences.
Looking at the letter on the table, the housekeeper gritted his teeth and stepped forward. He closed his eyes, reached for the letter, opened it, and pulled out a yellowed piece of paper.
The whole study was eerily quiet. Changsun Wuji and the elder looked at the housekeeper intently, trying to see if anything was wrong.
After waiting for a while, nothing happened, and the three people in the room breathed a sigh of relief.
"Go down and receive the reward. You did a good job this time!" Changsun Wuji praised the butler, took the letter from his hand and read it carefully.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time handed the letter to the elder who was waiting for a look.
After both of them finished reading, they looked at each other, and the great elder said: "It seems that this matter can be brought to an end. That adult will send someone to pick up the things tonight, and at the same time, he will give me the antidote. That's all." Is there anything wrong? After all, if the master doesn’t come in person, he will always feel uneasy!”
"The expert also said in the letter that he was busy outside and had no time to pick it up. If we don't doubt it and don't give the thing to the person he sent, wouldn't you be dead when the time comes and you get poisoned? So we don't believe it. You have to believe it!" Changsun Wuji analyzed.
"That's all. I hope that expert didn't lie to us!" the great elder said with some anxiety.
At night, Changsun Wuji, who was originally planning to go to Li Daozong's mansion to discuss Chu Suiliang's affairs, did not go. Instead, he sat in the hall and waited for something.
At this moment, the Great Elder walked in quickly and said with a smile on his face: "The things were taken away and the antidote was left behind. Look, Master!"
With that said, the great elder placed a small porcelain vase on the table and showed it to Changsun Wuji.
Changsun Wuji looked at the small porcelain bottle in front of him, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and said: "It's finally over, this matter is finally over! Please take the antidote quickly, and I can feel at ease!"
The great elder nodded, opened the porcelain bottle, and poured out a pungent brown pill. Looking at the pill, the great elder resisted the urge to throw it away, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it as soon as he closed his eyes.
On the side, Changsun Wuji stared at the elder, fearing that something might happen to the elder who had taken the antidote.
The great elder was also very uneasy, and after taking the elixir, he sat there quietly.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, the elder's eyes widened, and before Changsun Wuji could ask, he hurriedly ran out. This made Changsun Wuji anxious, wondering what was wrong with the elder. , just as he was about to chase him out, he smelled a smell that made him nauseous.
Holding his nose, Changsun Wuji walked out of the door and saw the elder holding his stomach and rushing towards the latrine.
Seeing this scene, Changsun Wuji realized that the elder had gone to the toilet, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Obviously, this was a sign that he was going to detoxify after taking the elixir.
A quarter of an hour later, the elder was seen walking in with the support of two servants. His face was a little pale, but his complexion was very good.
"Great Elder, how are you?" Changsun Wuji asked hurriedly.
"I feel much better. I feel relaxed all over. I didn't feel it before, but now I realize that my heavy steps were poisoned!" the elder said as he sat down.
"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay!" Changsun Wuji breathed a sigh of relief.
Before Changsun Wuji could catch his breath, the housekeeper ran in again, holding another letter in his hand.
Seeing the letter, Changsun Wuji's expression changed, for no other reason. The seal of this letter was exactly the same as the one given by the previous master. Could it be that the master had something wrong?
"Master, that master... has sent another message!" the housekeeper stammered.
"What? Then why did the master send a message again? Isn't the matter solved? The thing has been found for him and given to him!" The great elder exclaimed.
"Give me the letter quickly!" Changsun Wuji did not let the housekeeper open the letter this time, but opened the letter and read it himself.
After reading what was written in the letter, Changsun Wuji's face turned as pale as paper, his lips trembled, and the letter in his hand fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the great elder's expression also changed. He picked up the letter from the ground and looked at it. From this look, his expression was not much better than that of Changsun Wuji.
Seeing this, the butler didn't know what was going on, but he also knew that something big must have happened. He didn't dare to ask too much, but quietly retreated. The more he knew, the faster he would die. The butler obviously understood this well. In this way, it is better not to inquire about things that should not be known.
After a long time, the elder came back to his senses, looked at Changsun Wuji and said, "Master, what should we do?"
Changsun Wuji took a few deep breaths, gritted his teeth and said, "Since he is unkind, don't blame me for being unjust. He actually made such an excessive request. Do you really think that I, Changsun Wuji, are easy to bully?"
But before Changsun Wuji could finish his words, the housekeeper who had just left ran in again and exclaimed: "Master, people are dead, people are dead, many people are dead!"
