At noon, the banquet was held. Everyone drank some wine and wished the young master well. There were big bowls of food and the wind was blowing. Fu Xi was weak and managed to eat some, then went to her room for a lunch break with Xiaomei at her side. Before the lunch break, the tonic was presented in the kitchen as usual, and Fu Xi was not afraid and drank it in one gulp. "Ouch!" Fu Xi's stomach hurt like a cut, and he couldn't help but vomit and have diarrhea. His body twitched and he fell on the bed. Xiaomei exclaimed: "Master, Master." Everyone rushed in. Wang Er took Fu Xi's breath and felt certain in his heart. Turning to everyone, he said in an urgent voice: "Hurry up and report to Madam and Mr. Qi, and ask Dr. Hu. Mr. Hu is now very angry and his face is ashen. He is very dangerous. Thirteenth brother, please drive a carriage and take Miss Xiaomei and Mother Li back to your home. Then bring Dr. Hu. Miss Xiaomei, bring your wife as soon as you return to the house. Mother Li, when you arrive at the house, go to the Qi family to report the news. Be sure to invite Uncle Qi, the second master, and the third master to come together." Jinggan. The men Xu Shisan, Xiaomei, and Li's mother were ordered to rush there.
Li San and Zhao Si took two brothers with disabled legs, Qian Shiba and Li Sanshi, and two able-bodied brothers, Wang Twenty-one and Zhao Twenty-five, to the entrance of the village. Zhao Si, Qian Shiba, and Li Sanshi went up to the arrow tower, with their bows and arrows ready. Wang Twenty-one and Zhao Twenty-five were all in cloth armor, with swords and shields in hand, and were hiding in the gatehouse to wait for orders. There are villagers surrounding the bedroom to prevent anyone from getting close. There are old brothers who are good at shooting on the arrow towers at the four corners of the courtyard, namely Sun Wu, Ji Liu, Zhang Shiyi and Wu Twelve who are missing legs. Zhuangzi is surrounded by walls on all sides. The gate of the village faces south, there are arrow towers in the southeast and southwest, the courtyard in the middle of the village is to the north, the north wall of the courtyard joins the north wall of Zhuangzi, there are no arrow towers in the northwest and northeast of Zhuangzi, and there are arrow towers at the four corners of the courtyard.
Soon Xu Shisan drove around and shouted from a distance: "Shen Doctor Hu is here." Li Shisan opened the door of the village, Xu Shisan drove straight in, stopped outside the courtyard door, and helped Doctor Hu quickly enter Fu Xi's bedroom. Doctor Hu saw Fu Xi sitting softly on the bed and asked Wang Er: "Why did Master sit up?" Wang Er asked calmly: "I heard that you prescribed Master's tonics. What kind of medicines are there?" "Coptis, astragalus, donkey-hide gelatin, white peony root, scrophulariaceae, schisandra chinensis, raw oysters, white ginseng, raw turtle shells, fried jujube kernels, cinnamon, chicken gizzard, laifuzi, glutinous rice, malt." "There may be hellebore. ?" "How can there be hellebore? This is the anti-eighteen!" Wang Er turned to the cook who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Show the medicine to Dr. Hu." The cook trembled and presented the medicine. When Doctor Hu saw and heard about it, he was furious: "Who wants to harm the master?" He asked the cook: "Where do all the medicines come from?" The cook replied: "They are all sent by the Qi Mansion. We follow the orders to boil the medicine. My wife personally brought it to the master." Doctor Hu was stunned. Wang Er asked: "Doctor Hu, we can conclude that the Qi family wants to harm the master." Dr. Hu nodded silently. Wang Eryan: "Madam, you will be here later and you will testify. When the Qi family comes, you will also testify." Doctor Hu nodded. Sun Wu from the arrow tower outside the house sent a message: "Brother Zhao Si has sent a signal, my wife will be here soon."
Xiyue came in sobbing, held Fuxi's hand, and cried and asked: "Master, what's wrong with you?" Fuxi pointed at Doctor Hu. Doctor Hu was sweating on his forehead and said, "Someone poisoned the master." Xiyue was shocked: "Ah! Who?" "Qi family." Xiyue was furious: "Hu Liangcai, how dare you talk nonsense!" The maid and the old woman wanted to have sex. Front bite. Wang Er and Xu Shisan stopped him. Doctor Hu gritted his teeth and insisted: "I prescribed the medicine for the master, but the medicine sent by the Qi family included Veratrum. Veratrum and Scrophulariaceae are eighteen anti-inflammatory drugs and can cause chronic poisoning. The master has been experiencing symptoms of poisoning in the past two days. ." Xiyue was dumbfounded, and the girls did not dare to say anything. Wang Er said: "Madam, you can ask Master Qi face to face when he comes over later." Wang Er turned to Fu Xi and suggested: "Master, there will be too many people later and it will be too chaotic. You can ask the maids, old ladies, and kitchen servants Avoid it for now." Fu Xi nodded in agreement. Wang Er ordered Zhuang Ding to take everyone to the backyard to take shelter temporarily. Only Xiyue and the cook responsible for medicinal meals were in the house. Sun Wu sent another message: "Brother Zhao has sent a signal, Master Qi will be here soon. There are many people."
Among the three masters of the Qi family, the first master Qi was named Shengchun and was the county magistrate; the second master Qi was named Shengxia and was the household house Cao Zuo; the third master Qi was named Shengqiu and was the county captain. All three people came into the room to wait and saw Fu Xi sitting on the bed. Everyone in the room: Xiyue, Wang Er, Xu Shisan, Divine Doctor Hu, and the herbal cook all stared at the three of them. Although Uncle Qi was confused, he still asked: "Dr. Hu has rejuvenated himself and saved my son-in-law?" Fu Xi rushed to the question: "Father-in-law, may I ask if the tonics I take daily are prescribed by Dr. Hu? Is the medicine sent by Qi Mansion? ?" Uncle Qi muttered: "Yes. Is there any problem?" Fu Xi asked again: "Why are there medicines that are not included in the prescriptions among the medicines delivered?" The faces of the Qi family changed greatly. Uncle Qi forced himself to be serious: "Impossible. All the medicines are prepared by Dr. Hu and delivered. How could there be other medicines?" Fu Xi looked at Dr. Hu. Doctor Hu held the prescriptions and said: "The medicines I prepare include coptis, astragalus, donkey-hide gelatin, white peony root, scrophulariaceae, schisandra chinensis, raw oysters, white ginseng, raw turtle shell, fried jujube kernels, cinnamon, chicken gizzard, and laifuzi. , glutinous rice, malt, and absolutely no hellebore, but the medicine you sent contains hellebore. The combination of hellebore and scrophulariaceae is chronically poisonous and can cause death if taken for a long time." Uncle Qi's instinctive reaction: "I didn't add any medicine, so someone must have You want to harm my son-in-law." Xiyue stared into Uncle Qi's eyes and asked, "Father, why do you want to harm my husband?" Uncle Qi said hurriedly: "I didn't. It wasn't me. I didn't. It wasn't me." It was like a repeater. Wang Er and Xu Shisan looked at each other, and with a "chang" sound, Wang Er and Xu Shisan took out the steel knives hidden at the end of the bed. Wang Er slashed at Master Qi, and Xu Shisan slashed at Uncle Qi. Uncle Qi screamed and his head fell to the ground. Xiyue fainted and fell to the ground. Doctor Hu quickly moved Xiyue to the end of the bed. The cook was lying on the ground, pissing. Master Qi San was a martial arts practitioner. He reacted very quickly, fell sideways, and dodged Wang Er's first strike. Wang Er chased him with his second strike. After Xu Shisan had finished slashing Uncle Qi, he also chased after him. With his two swords combined, Qi San His head fell to the ground. Mr. Qi had finished peeing and urinated, and he collapsed on the ground. Wang Er doesn't talk nonsense, Qi Erye is the owl leader. In an instant, Uncle Qi, Second Master, and Third Master were killed. The troops and servants led by the Qi family were all waiting in the hall. They were still unknown, and the old brothers who were ambushing in the east and west wings had not yet broken out.
Wang Er greeted Fu Xi: "Master, let's go out." Fu Xi nodded. Xu Shisan came over to help him out of the bedroom. Wang Er carried three heads and said loudly: "Qi Shengchun, Shengxia, and Shengqiu used medicine to kill the master, and I have already beheaded him." The old brothers from the east and west wing came out wearing armor and holding swords and guns, facing the front hall. A hundred people in the hall shouted angrily: "Wang Er, you have no basis and no evidence, how dare you harm people at will?" Fu Xi reluctantly said loudly: "The Qi family wants to take away my Fu family's foundation and poison me. Doctor Hu I can prove it." Doctor Hu said hurriedly: "It is true that the Qi family poisoned the master." There was an uproar in the hall. Suddenly, a group of people rushed to the courtyard gate, trying to escape from Zhuangzi. Sun Wu and Ji Liu shoot quickly, and if they hit, they will die. There were still more than thirty people rushing out of the courtyard and towards the village gate. Zhao Si, Sun Wu, Ji Liu, Qian Shiba, and Li Sanshi all fired with their five bows. If not killed, they would be wounded. Li San, Wang Twenty-one, and Zhao Twenty-five were all wearing cloth armor and holding swords, and were waiting in strict formation. The old brothers in the courtyard rushed towards the middle hall and shouted in unison: "You will not be killed if you surrender your weapons." Everyone in the hall disarmed one after another. Some of the old brothers collected their weapons, and some of them went to the courtyard gate to attack the fleeing people. After a while, all the fleeing people were killed, and a few others, such as Wang Twenty-one and Zhao Twenty-five, were slightly injured. While some people were cleaning the battlefield, Wang Er, Li San, Zhao Si and others screened the surrenderers, tied up the people from the Qi family, locked them in a wing, and guarded them. Qi Xiyue stayed in Zhuangzi, and was attended by all the servants. Fu Xi, 40 veterans, Hu Shenyi and the rest of the surrendered sergeants rushed to the county seat with all their horses and carriages.
