Xu Gucheng's eyes showed admiration. <Binghuo#中文..com
He had only shown this look when he saw Yan Shu and two other young prodigies many years ago.
Wang Ying has lived in the opera garden for a long time and is good at beekeeping. Moreover, the only one who has enmity against the Xu family recently is the Wang family. The fragmented chess record that Xu Pingqi left in the carriage points directly to the Wang family!
Various clues allowed the two of them to confirm that Wang Ying was responsible for the incident.
Xu Gucheng had previously sent people to the Wang family's Liyuan. Now he wanted to go to the Wang family to find out what was going on, and he was going to take Xu Nuo with him.
Although time was tight and riding a horse was faster, Xu Gucheng would not let Xu Nuo ride a horse again, so the two got into a carriage.
Where they were just now, the carriage that Xu Pingqi and the others were riding in had stopped briefly.
The boy at the paint shop on the roadside said that Xu Mansion's carriage passed by just as it was getting dark. It suddenly stopped and two gentlemen and two boys jumped out. They slapped each other. Later, they were helped back to the carriage by the coachman, and then The carriage turned and went elsewhere.
Apparently there were wasps in the car before they came out in a hurry. The groom was safe because he was outside, and he was later injured by a sword.
"The Wang family knows how to keep bees, she is probably the one who did it." Xu Gucheng said calmly, his expression did not change, but his heart felt like burning oil was rolling through him, his hands clasped tightly on his knees.
Wang Ying obviously didn't care when he did this kind of thing.
I don’t know how many wasps she put in the carriage. If there were only one or two, that would be fine, but if there were too many, several people might have been stung and had difficulty breathing, or even went into shock!
Even though Xu Gucheng has a calm temperament and is experienced in dealing with things, he thinks that the bad things his brother did back then are now affecting the younger generation. He was also a little angry at this moment. If Xu Nuo hadn't been there, he would have looked solemn.
Xu Nuo nodded. The mood is equally heavy.
Although he knew that his father was always cautious and would not make any omissions, Xu Nuo couldn't help but remind him: "If you are stung by a wasp, your life may be in danger. You need to find a doctor as soon as possible to prepare the medicine."
"It's been arranged." Xu Gucheng's voice was low but very sure, giving people the same feeling of reliability as in the past. Like a solid wall, it blocks the raging flood.
What happened today made him take a new look at his promise and not panic when encountering difficulties. He is also very cautious, which is really rare.
"My child knows that there is a man with great medical skills, so I begged my mother to invite him." Under the dim oil lamp, Xu Nuo lowered his eyes and said his previous decision.
"Who is it?" Xu Gucheng sat upright. Shadows obscured the emotion in his eyes. The hands on his knees moved slightly.
"Ji Jiawulang came to the house today." Not everyone seemed to know about Ji Xuan's superior medical skills, but for Xu Pingqi's safety, Xu Nuo felt that it was more reliable to find him.
Xu Gucheng didn't expect that Xu Nuo would invite Ji Xuan. He raised his eyes and glanced at her, but hesitated to speak.
Xu Gucheng still remembered what happened to Ji Xuan's father seven years ago. He also knew that Ji Xuan was taught medical skills by Mr. Ji himself, but he had never heard anyone talk about his medical skills. He didn't know where Liu Niang learned about his superior medical skills.
The words on his lips were not asked in the end. remained silent.
Soon, the two arrived at Wang's house.
Mr. Wang personally came out to greet him at Chuihua Gate. He bowed his waist and saluted Xu Gucheng: "Xu Zhizhou is here, what do you want me to do?" The brocade robe on his body was embroidered with silver patterns, which was very eye-catching and a bit dazzling under the light of the lantern. It was in harmony with his deeply bowed waist. Extremely disharmonious.
Xu Gucheng glanced at him and said in a calm voice: "Second Master Wang is so polite. I wonder if Mrs. Wang is here?"
"Mom has rested. If Xu Zhizhou has something to do, please tell me and I will convey it to mother tomorrow." Although Mr. Wang put down his bowing hand, his body did not straighten up. He was still hunched over, making it difficult for people to see him clearly. eyes.
But Xu Nuo was small and could just look into his eyes when she raised her head.
Mr. Wang's eyes flickered, and the muscles of his lips and cheeks moved unnaturally. You could tell at a glance that he was lying.
Xu Gucheng smiled slightly, his voice was gentle and gentle, but there was an undeniable momentum: "Everyone in Suzhou City knows that the old lady of the Wang family is in good health. She has been reading the account books every night until Xu Zheng. Now she is only in Xuchu, and Wang Er Master, did you remember the time wrong?"
Mrs. Wang's legitimate sons and concubines failed to live up to expectations, so she always had the final say in the Wang family's business.
Xu Gucheng's words were a mockery of Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang coughed awkwardly and kicked down a boy next to him: "Things that don't have long eyes can be mistaken for a long time, which will hurt me." I almost missed Xu Zhizhou’s big event! Someone, drag me down and hit fifty boards.”
Second Master Wang has a soft temper, but he is not soft-hearted at all when punishing his servants, but is ruthless.
Whatever the master says is what he says. It is the servant's honor to take the blame for the master and help him resolve the embarrassment. The boy who was kicked down the steps did not dare to say a word to beg for mercy and was dragged away.
Xu Gucheng frowned slightly, but did not stop him. Instead, he followed Mr. Xu towards the inner courtyard with rapid strides.
Mrs. Wang obviously already knew the motive of the outer court. She was sitting in the main hall neatly dressed, with her back still straight, her facial features majestic, and her eyes clear and sharp.
After meeting with Xu Gucheng, Mrs. Wang asked: "I wonder what Xu Zhizhou's visit late at night is about?" For ordinary people, it was indeed time to take a rest, and there was no intention to make things difficult by saying it was late at night.
Xu Gucheng told what happened today and his speculations. It was because he respected Mrs. Wang that he came here specially, otherwise he would have just sent his subordinates here.
Mrs. Wang's heart was filled with huge waves, but she remained calm. She glanced at Xu Gucheng, then at Mr. Xu, and finally her eyes fell on Xu Nuo.
"Ying Niang has been in the Liyuan these days. If Xu Zhizhou wants to ask anything, you can go to the Liyuan to find her. I will not stop you. As for Suzhou City, I will do my best to help you if necessary." Mrs. Wang's voice was loud. It's light but has no meaning of protection.
After hearing this, Mr. Wang hurriedly looked over, his Adam's apple rolled, and finally asked: "Mom, you can't ignore the eldest sister!" Although Wang Ying has not returned to the Wang family recently, he sent him a letter later today, asking him to ignore it. Anyone who comes to see my mother is stopped with excuses.
He thought about many people, but he never expected that Xu Zhizhou would bring a large group of people to the Wang family at this time.
Mrs. Wang looked at Mr. Xu with a look of disappointment in her eyes: "If she is innocent, Xu Zhizhou will not make things difficult for her, but if it is really her fault, I will not help her. In the Xu family Don’t go out before Erlangjun and Sanlangjun are found.”
She said this shrewdly. If the matter had nothing to do with Wang Ying, but Xu Gucheng indiscriminately pinned the charges on Wang Ying, she would definitely do her best to clear Wang Ying's name.
Mrs. Wang sighed and was about to see off the guests when she saw someone appear outside the door. Xu Gucheng left quickly and came back in a hurry, looking worse than before.
"Mrs. Wang, the two attendants and the coachman beside Erlang and Sanlang of a certain family were found in a ruined temple in the suburbs. They were poisoned by bee venom, the coachman was wounded by a sword, one of the attendants was in shock, and the other had diarrhea. A certain person also I need to go look for someone, so I'll say goodbye for now. If Mrs. Wang has any clues, I hope she can inform me immediately."
Xu Gucheng's face looked a little dark, and his subordinates told him that the two boys had been stung in many places on their faces, which was very serious. If Erlang Sanlang cannot be found, their lives will indeed be in danger.
Mrs. Wang understood that Xu Gucheng suspected Wang Ying because of the wasp. Although there are many people who know how to keep bees, those people have no grudges against the Xu family. This is the main reason why Wang Ying is suspected.
After negotiating with the Xu family to transfer the Wang family's two tea houses in Wujiang County, Wang Ying smiled and returned to the Liyuan. He never came to Suzhou City again. Mrs. Wang also felt that Wang Ying had been too quiet these days, and she couldn't help but feel sad. Somewhat skeptical.
If this matter was really Wang Ying's fault, and the Xu family's Erlang and Sanlang also got into trouble, the Wang family would be completely dragged into the mud by Wang Ying.
Mrs. Wang weighed carefully, and after Xu Gucheng left for a cup of tea, she ordered: "Send a few people to the pear garden to see if it is best to bring Qiniang back, and keep an eye on the second master and not let him go out. All the extra nurses will help." Follow Xu Zhizhou to find him!"
Mr. Wang argued a few words but was scolded by Mrs. Wang so that he did not dare to speak. He could only obey Mrs. Wang's arrangements.
Xu Nuo and Xu Gucheng went to Heyi Tang together. The doctor Xu Gucheng was looking for was Master Ji, and Xu Nuo was looking for Ji Xuan, who happened to be here.
Mr. Ji was having dinner at home when he was summoned to Heyi Hall by the government officials. He was preparing medical supplies. Unexpectedly, his nephew was also brought over by the guards, carrying a small medicine box.
Ji Jun, thirty-one years old, was born as a concubine and the third son of Mr. Ji.
The concubine who married the second old master of the Ding family now has two daughters, one eight and five years old, and has not taken any concubines.
After the death of his brother, Ji Jun devoted himself to supporting his widowed sister-in-law and his nephew. Mr. Ji personally taught Ji Xuan and taught Ji Xuan medical skills, but he was not jealous.
Ji Xuan had never been to aristocrats for medical treatment. He only treated ordinary people. His appearance here today could not help but surprise Ji Jun.
The two of them each wore white robes and sat quietly, like two statues. It was not until the guards sent the Xu family's boy over that they stood up and hurriedly diagnosed and treated him.
When Xu Gucheng and Xu Nuo arrived, they were still busy. Xu Sanlang's bodyguard had vomiting and diarrhea and had just returned from the clean room.
"What's going on?" Xu Gucheng asked aloud.
When the young man saw Xu Gucheng coming in, he was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "Second Master, Lang Jun, they, they..."
The boy talked for a long time, but could not speak a word clearly. He was obviously very frightened, and he was too timid to explain the situation at that time.
Xu Nuo glanced at the other two people, both of whom were still awake.
He walked a few steps forward from behind Xu Gucheng and asked in a very calm voice: "Don't be anxious, we are going to look for them now. Please tell us what the situation was like at that time, starting from when you arrived at Ding Mansion."
The boy didn't expect that a woman would appear. He stared at her twice before he recognized that the person in front of him was the Sixth Lady. The Sixth Lady was a girl from the boudoir. Why did she come here so late? (To be continued...)
