"What's going on!" Chen Anning supported Wen Qinsang and looked angrily at the black-clothed and masked servant, "You poisoned the tea!"
Is there poison in the tea?
Su Changping, who was holding the tea and was about to drink it, quickly threw the tea cup away when he heard this.
"Impossible!" Two masked servants in black defended and quickly gathered around to check.
Seeing Wen Qinsang's appearance, the two of them immediately looked fiercely at the girls who were delivering tea and fruit snacks.
Several girls were so frightened by them that they quickly knelt on the ground and cried out.
Several masked servants in black clothes standing guard in the distance saw the movement and quickly gathered around. Seeing Wen Qinsang's appearance, one of them drew his sword and struck at the girls!
"Stop!" Chen Anning was furious, "You've been poisoned and you want to kill someone to shirk responsibility? It's a dream!"
The murderous masked servant in black stopped his movements and defended himself: "We didn't poison him!"
Chen Anning sneered: "You mean, he's just pretending?"
The murderous, masked servant in black defended himself again: "I didn't say that!"
"What's wrong with him? I'm not done with you!" Chen Anning picked up Wen Qinsang and strode outside.
After walking less than two feet, Manager Kang led Xie Xun over in a hurry.
Seeing Wen Qinsang being held by Chen Anning, Manager Kang's expression changed, "What's going on?"
Chen Anning ignored him, secretly pinched his palm, and shouted to Xie Xun with red eyes: "Young Master."
Xie Xun quickly took out a jade bottle from his waist, poured out pills and stuffed them into Wen Qinsang's mouth. He glanced at the several black-clothed and masked servants behind her, glanced at Wen Qinsang again, and asked: " what happened?"
Chen Anning looked back angrily at several masked servants in black, gritted his teeth and said, "They poisoned Ziqi's tea!"
Several masked servants in black clothes immediately knelt on the ground and defended themselves to Shopkeeper Kang: "We did not poison."
Shopkeeper Kang naturally believed that they did not poison, mainly because they did not have the courage. But feeling Xie Xun's murderous intent rising little by little beside him, he did not dare to make any more excuses and could only quickly tell him: "We'll talk about it later if it's poisoned. Why don't you hurry up and invite Dr. Jiang over!"
Only then did several masked servants in black clothes react. One of them quickly got up and ran towards the iron gate behind the viewing platform.
"We will discuss the specific matter later. If it is really their poison, Mr. Wei Qi can rest assured that our shopkeeper will never tolerate it!" Shopkeeper Kang clasped his hands and apologized carefully while saying quickly, "But The young master's life is in danger, so please ask Mr. Wei Qi to follow the younger one to the main courtyard first."
Xie Xunlen had a stern face, stepped forward to take Wen Qinsang from Chen Anning's hand, and followed him towards the iron gate where the masked servant in black left.
Chen Anning followed him step by step.
Su Changping looked at Xie Xun, then at Wen Qinsang, and then at Chen Anning. He could no longer tell whether they were acting or if they were actually poisoned. But for the sake of his own life, he followed without hesitation.
Behind the iron gate is a narrow, long and dark passage.
There are countless branch paths throughout the passage.
The light and shadow like oil lamps and bean sprouts illuminated the passages and branch roads. Without Guanshi Kang leading the way, it would be difficult for ordinary people to walk out.
Passing through the passage, you will see an extremely broad rectangular courtyard.
Chen Anning took a quick glance and saw that there were eighteen rooms scattered side by side around the courtyard.
Following Manager Kang into the seventh room from the left, and not long after placing Wen Qinsang on the bamboo couch, the black-clothed and masked servant who had left earlier hurriedly came with an old man with a white beard, "Uncle Jiang, you Let’s show him quickly, we haven’t poisoned him, I don’t know why he suddenly behaved like this.”
Doctor Jiang glanced at Xie Xun and Chen Anning, nodded slightly to Manager Kang, then sat down in front of the bamboo couch, held Wen Qinsang's right hand, and carefully took his pulse.
After a moment, he let go of Wen Qinsang's right hand and grabbed his left hand.
"Uncle Jiang, this young master..."
Before Kang Guanshi finished speaking, Doctor Jiang took out the silver needles from his sleeve, inserted them into Wen Qinsang one by one, and said, "This young master was indeed poisoned. Fortunately, he took the detoxification pills in time and his life is safe." .”
The masked servant in black didn't believe it: "Really poisoned?"
Doctor Jiang ignored him and asked the other masked servants in black about Wen Qinsang's poisoning in the Colosseum.
After the black-clothed and masked servant who had been following Wen Qinsang finished speaking, Doctor Jiang directly ordered: "Lock up those cheap maids and torture them severely!"
Chen Anning's heart sank and she couldn't help but want to stop her. Xie Xun quickly held her hand and stopped her silently.
Doctor Jiang looked over very keenly, and asked with a kind expression: "I wonder what this young master has to say?"
Knowing that her actions aroused his alertness, Chen Anning deliberately sneered twice and said: "They are just fruits for others to pick. If no one instructs them, who would dare to poison Zi Qi! You ordered them to be tortured because you clearly wanted to Shirking responsibility!”
Doctor Jiang still asked kindly: "Then what should I do in my opinion?"
Chen Anning snorted coldly and said nothing.
Doctor Jiang fiddled with the silver needle and apologized to Xie Xun in a warm voice: "Young Master Wei Qi rarely comes back to the capital, but something like this happened. I really don't have the courage to ask for anything. What do you think of this, Master Wei Qi?" We will give you an explanation within three days regarding the poisoning of the young master. In addition, all the purchases made by Mr. Wei Qi here in the past few days will be exempted."
All exempt?
Manager Kang twitched his mouth in pain.
After Xie Xun looked at him deeply, his eyes fell on Wen Qinsang. Seeing the purple color gradually fading on his face, he replied quietly.
Chen Anning said dissatisfied: "Young Master!"
Xie Xun patted her hand comfortingly.
"Young Master Wei Qi is so righteous!" Dr. Jiang complimented, but secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to make money.
It’s really a troubled time, and I don’t dare to cause any more trouble.
Moreover, the poisoning incident was also the first time in the underground Colosseum.
Whether it was a traitor in the place or an accident, I really couldn't care less about making money until I found out.
After detoxifying, take out the silver needle.
Wen Qinsang still didn't wake up.
But all the bruises on his face have receded.
"This young master is fine." Dr. Jiang picked up his sleeves and wiped the sweat from his forehead, then stood up and said, "You just need to have a good night's rest, and you will wake up in the morning."
Chen Anning snorted coldly.
Xie Xun patted her hand comfortingly again and said, "Let's do this for tonight. Manager Kang will come to pick me up early tomorrow night. Besides, I don't want another accident to happen tomorrow night."
After Doctor Jiang agreed to it over Guanshi Kang, he immediately ordered: "Send the young masters back."
Chen Anning lost his temper and refused to wear a blindfold or pull over his head. After being comforted by Xie Xun, he reluctantly accepted it.
After coming out of the underground Colosseum and walking in a winding way for almost an hour, the gray cloth carriage stopped again by the release pond.
Watching Manager Kang, who apologized repeatedly, drive away in his carriage, Chen Anning's face was instantly covered with a layer of frost.
After getting on the carriage and leaving the West Market, and staying at the Laifu Inn in Liquanfang, Chen Anning took a few steps forward, and the unconscious Wen Qinsang opened his eyes leisurely.
After taking a look around to make sure that no one was present, he slowly sat up with his hands on his hands and said seriously: "The situation is a bit serious."
