Dalao was originally the prison of Tiandu Mansion, so it was the largest prison in Lingzhou.
There was no one to guide him, so Wang Cheng walked alone inside, just like walking through a maze.
The cells are densely distributed like containers, and almost every cell contains prisoners. Some are like the secret cells where Qian Shan and his son were held, and some are ordinary cells.
With no one following him, Wang Cheng checked every cell confidently and boldly.
However, the further he went in, the more upset he became. He was unable to find any trace of his master, Dr. Zhang.
Is the master being imprisoned somewhere else?
Or has he been captured by Marquis Ning...?
Wang Cheng intuitively felt that the second possibility was unlikely. After all, Ning Hou was doing it for his master's superb medical skills and would not do anything to him, but he couldn't tell for sure.
If the master did not know the elixir hidden in "The Theory of Injury and Injury", it is not impossible for Ninghou to kill him in a rage.
From the time of the massacre in Mixi Town to the present, he had been tracking for two months and had successfully infiltrated the Ninghou Mansion, but he still could not find any trace of his master.
He was so devastated that he didn't even know how to get out of the prison, so he was walking alone on the streets of the Hou Mansion.
Suddenly, a figure stood in front of him.
Wang Cheng looked up at the man and said in a deep voice, "Is something wrong?"
He Wushuang opened his mouth, swallowed the words as they reached his lips, and just said: "Brother Wang."
Wang Cheng frowned. After the Lianyunbao incident, his opinion of He Wushuang had improved a lot, so he asked again: "Please tell me if you have anything to say!"
He Wushuang then told the story.
The more Wang Cheng listened, the more surprised he became, and his impression of He Wushuang changed a lot.
It turned out that Liu Yinyue's health had not improved since she had a miscarriage, and she was getting weaker and weaker. She invited several doctors to come and see her, but to no avail.
He Wushuang had spent some time with Wang Cheng and knew that Wang Cheng was proficient in medical skills. Although he and Wang Cheng almost never dealt with each other, he still begged him.
"I wonder if Brother Wang can help?"
Wang Cheng had no reason to refuse the offer of rescuing people, not to mention that the person he was rescuing might be his future mother-in-law.
He Yiminggui is the envoy of Zhuque and enjoys an independent courtyard in Ninghou's huge mansion.
When several servants saw He Wushuang, they all lowered their heads and did not dare to make the slightest sound.
It seems that He Yiming's fire is really big!
Wang Cheng thought to himself, and then followed He Wushuang to the living room, when he bumped into He Yiming coming out.
He Yiming's face was haggard and his eyes were bloodshot. The moment he saw Wang Cheng come in, he was about to have a seizure on the spot. He Wushuang explained quickly.
He looked at Wang Cheng's young face and glanced at He Wushuang suspiciously.
Seeing He Wushuang nodding, he gave Wang Cheng a fist salute: "Thank you, Captain Wang!"
Wang Cheng nodded. If He Yiming had any objection just now, he would turn around and leave.
He originally wanted to meet his future mother-in-law and did not want to deal with He Yiming at all. If possible, he would even want to mess with He Yiming and avenge Xu Ya.
bedroom.
A very beautiful woman was lying on the bed. She had willow eyebrows, phoenix eyes, and red lips. She was almost exactly the same as Xu Ya, but she was a little more mature and beautiful than Xu Ya.
Wang Cheng was a little dazed. He almost couldn't help but mistake her for Xu Ya just now.
Liu Yinyue's eyes were closed tightly, and her breath was weak. There was a three or four-year-old boy beside the bed. His eyebrows looked very similar to He Yiming's, and there were tears on his face.
Is it their son?
Wang Cheng calmed down in an instant. Before entering the door, he had guessed that Liu Yinyue's life might be difficult, but now it seemed that he was overthinking it.
He even has a son. If it weren't for the accident, there would probably be a second one. Without "husband and wife love", how could Liu Yinyue have given him a son?
Therefore, Wang Cheng just regarded her as an ordinary patient and stepped forward to check her pulse.
After a moment, he asked Xiang He Yiming: "Are all the medicines you have been using these days still there?"
"exist!"
He Yiming quickly ordered his servants to bring a pair of medicines and handed them to Wang Cheng.
Wang Cheng looked at the medicine carefully and said, "There is nothing wrong with this medicine!"
When He Yiming heard it, his heart went cold, and he quickly asked: "Then why does my wife's body take so long to recover?"
Wang Cheng was silent in thought. There was indeed nothing wrong with the medicine. Even if he was asked to prescribe medicine, he would do so.
Liu Yinyue lost both energy and blood, and her body was extremely weak. Logically speaking, she had improved after taking the medicine, but as He Yiming said, she has not recovered yet.
"What have you eaten these days?" Wang Cheng's attention quickly shifted to her diet.
He Yiming then ordered his servants to bring over a bowl of Qi-boosting soup that Liu Yinyue had not finished.
Wang Cheng took a sip, his expression suddenly changed, and he said, "Who made this soup?"
"Is there something wrong with the soup?" He Yiming's whole body felt bad, like a powder keg exploding at any moment.
Wang Cheng didn't answer, and just asked the cook to come over.
Soon, an aunt in brown cloth walked over shakily.
Wang Cheng picked up the bowl in his hand and said, "What ingredients did you put in this qi-boosting soup?"
The aunt knelt down on the ground with a thud and cried: "Sir! It was not me who harmed the madam! It was not me who harmed her!"
He Yiming was so angry that he raised his aunt and said angrily: "Old thief! What on earth did you do?"
The aunt was so frightened that she rolled her eyes and spilled her feces and urine on the spot.
"etc!"
Wang Cheng quickly stepped forward to stop it and comforted the aunt: "First of all, can you tell me what ingredients you used for this qi-boosting soup?"
The aunt was so frightened that she poured the beans into the bamboo tube and said: "Astragalus, black-bone chicken, Codonopsis pilosula..."
They were all normal ingredients, but Wang Cheng clearly felt that this bowl of soup contained more than just these.
To be on the safe side, he asked his aunt to make a new bowl of Qi-boosting soup.
Wang Cheng took another sip and shook his head.
This appearance made He Yiming and his son anxious, and they quickly asked him what was going on.
"Try these two bowls of soup." Wang Cheng pretended to be serious.
The two of them were dubious, and both took a bite one after another, and then looked at each other.
"There seems to be no difference." He Yiming said first.
He Wushuang nodded, and then said: "Is it because the last bowl of soup has cooled down and the taste has become lighter?"
Seeing that neither of them tasted it, Wang Cheng then remembered that not everyone has as sensitive a sense of taste and smell as him.
He stopped being pretentious, looked at the aunt and said, "Don't be afraid! Did you put cinnamon in the last bowl of soup?"
"Cinnamon?"
The aunt was confused for a while. She had never heard of this thing before, and waved her hands repeatedly: "No! No!"
Wang Cheng frowned. He was not proficient in cooking, so he only made assumptions based on Liu Yinyue's symptoms.
Cinnamon is often used as a spice to make soup, but cinnamon is a hairy substance. It is okay for pregnant women to eat it occasionally. However, if it is eaten for a long time, it can easily cause miscarriage.
"Then what condiments did you put in?" Wang Cheng asked.
The aunt didn't dare to hide it, nodded and said: "A kind of ingredient bag! The old lady used to put this ingredient bag in when cooking, and she was fine after eating it. She likes the taste very much!"
He Yiming and his son nodded. Auntie has been a cook here for many years. Her cooking tastes very good, especially the chicken soup, which both father and son like very much.
"What material package is it?" Wang Cheng asked.
The aunt said awkwardly: "I just finished it today."
Wang Cheng said: "What about the used material bags? You can't throw them all away, right?"
The aunt crawled back and got the things.
Wang Cheng tore open the bag of ingredients, his eyes suddenly froze, and he picked out a piece of old tree bark from inside and said, "You said you didn't use cinnamon, so what is this?"
"I...I really don't know this thing!" The aunt burst into anxious tears.
Wang Cheng saw that the aunt didn't seem to be lying, and probably really didn't know "cinnamon", so he asked again: "Who bought this package?"
"The old lady bought it herself." The aunt said.
Wang Cheng asked again: "Where did you buy it? Who did you buy it from?"
The aunt said: "Wu Damao from Huitu Lane."
She added specifically: "His condiments are cheaper than other stores, and many people go to him to buy them."
"alright!"
Wang Cheng waved his hand to her and asked her to go down. He already had a rough guess in his mind.
Only Wang Cheng and He Yiming father and son were left in the room.
He Yiming said in a deep voice: "What Wang Duwei means is that someone deliberately framed my wife's miscarriage?"
After calming down now, he figured out a lot of things at once, and things were far more complicated than he thought.
It turns out that the culprit is not the Xiaosi who was beaten to death by him, but someone else!
Wang Cheng said with a complex expression: "Whether it was a deliberate frame-up or not, everything will be clear when we find Wu Damao."
"Hmph! I see who it is that dares to touch a woman named He, I don't know whether to live or die!"
He Yiming was furious, and then said to He Wushuang: "Wushuang, go to Huitu Lane now and catch Wu Damao!"
He Wushuang nodded in agreement.
Huitu Alley is the shabbiest alley in the entire Tiandu Fucheng. The people living here are the lower class people, and beggars and bandits also hang out here.
Wu Damao lives here.
Because they have been doing business all year round, Wu Damao's family is very famous in the entire Huitu Lane, and the courtyard they live in is better than most other families. It is also just a courtyard, but it has four rooms.
After Wang Cheng and He Wushuang arrived here, they found that the door of Wu Damao's house was closed.
After the two looked at each other, He Wushuang stepped forward and knocked on the door.
No one opened the door even after knocking for more than a dozen times, but a family next door was surprised to come out.
Wang Cheng saluted the male owner of the house and said, "I would like to ask this eldest brother, does Wu Damao live here?"
The man nodded and said: "Wu Damao lives here, but he is not at home right now. He has not been back for several days."
Wang Cheng and He Wushuang glanced at each other, and suddenly there was an unpleasant feeling in their hearts.
He Wushuang quickly asked: "Do you know where he went?"
The man was a little dissatisfied with He Wushuang's tone of voice, but he still said: "I don't know! Wu Damao sells spices. He may have returned to the countryside to collect spices."
"Thank you for your understanding, brother!"
Wang Cheng clasped his fists at the other party, nodded to He Wushuang, and left.
But within a few seconds, the two appeared in the courtyard of Wu Damao's house.
The courtyard is a bit messy. There are rows of shelves against the wall, and various spices are placed on the shelves.
The two people immediately realized that Wu Damao was definitely not going to the countryside to collect spices.
"Go look inside the house!"
