"Come quickly, the young master is crazy!!"
The servants crawled out to call for help. The housekeeper had just sent Governor You away when he came back and heard the servant's frightened shouts.
When he entered the front hall, Su Hongyu had scratched himself beyond recognition, and his face was covered in blood and flesh, which looked oozing.
"What are you still waiting for? Why don't you grab the young master quickly?"
After the housekeeper was briefly shocked, he immediately called for someone to stop Su Hongyu's almost crazy behavior at this moment.
"ah!"
Su Hongyu growled in pain when his hands and feet were held by his servants.
"Let me go, I order you to let me go!!"
He was sober now and knew that the butler's order for his servants to hold him was for his own good.
But he was really itchy!
At this moment, only the stinging sensation caused by scratching the skin could slightly relieve the itch coming from his bones.
"Butler, this..."
The servant looked at the steward with panic eyes for help.
Who should they listen to now?
The housekeeper hesitated for a moment and then quickly made a decision, "Knock the young master unconscious first, and then send someone to invite all the free doctors in the city to come to the house!"
Seeing that the servant was still hesitant to take action, the butler could only make a promise.
"I'm responsible for anything that happens, please take action!!"
With the words of the housekeeper, the servant had the confidence to knock Su Hongyu unconscious.
Su Hongyu went crazy for no reason and scratched himself all over his body. After such a big thing happened, even if Su Qianxi was under house arrest in the yard, she could still hear the panic of the servants outside.
Su Qianxi curled her lips and smiled, it seemed that the medicine was taking effect.
Not long after Governor You returned to his mansion, a servant hurriedly came to report that Su Hongyu had injured himself all over his body for some unknown reason.
As well as the housekeeper of the Su Mansion, he hurriedly sent people to invite back all the idle doctors in the city.
After You Jishi was sure that the news was not groundless, he hesitated for a long time and walked into his study.
He stood in front of a wall, and after knocking on the wall a few times, a square stone was removed from the wall that was originally tight, and a small and exquisite wooden box was placed inside the wall.
After You Jishi took out the wooden box inside, he put the removed bricks back on it.
After making sure that no traces could be seen, he nodded with satisfaction, stood at the door and called someone to come in.
"Now you send this thing to the Su Mansion, saying that it can cure hundreds of poisons. Maybe Su Hongyu can use it."
You Jishi said, pushing the wooden box in front of him.
The man who came in was obviously You Jishi's confidant. He looked at the wooden box on the table and immediately knew what was inside.
"Sir, wasn't this thing given to you by that person? The situation in Xuancheng is not simple, so I left it to you just in case. Giving such a good thing to Su Hongyu would be too cheap for him!"
"Things must be used wisely!"
Governor You waved his hand, "In order to get in touch with Su Hongyu's father, I have taken the initiative to seek cooperation with Su Hongyu many times."
"But Su Hongyu had a reason to refuse every time. He obviously guessed that my real target was his father."
"Lately, I have been thinking that if Su Hongyu continues to fail, then I will have to look for new candidates for His Highness."
Speaking of this, You Jishi raised the corners of his mouth with a smile on his face.
"Now it seems that God can't bear the waste of my arrangements over the years, so he specially gave me this opportunity."
"It's just a pill——"
"If we can get Su Hongyu to agree to cooperate with us. When he is dragged into the trap by us, Prime Minister Su, whether he likes it or not, will have no choice but to join forces with us in order to save his son!!"
When the man heard what Governor You said, his face was full of realization, "I see, this is a conspiracy, sir!"
Hearing the admiration from his subordinates, Governor You slightly raised his lips, and then said sternly, "It's good to know. Go and come back quickly."
"yes!"
The man took the wooden box and turned around and went to Su's house.
On the other side, Mo Zechen's subordinates had found the whereabouts of Lin Qing's mother and brought her back safely.
Seeing that his mother was safe, Lin Qing felt relieved. According to his original agreement with Mo Zechen, he told Mo Zechen the specific location of the gold mine.
It was still daytime, so Mo Zechen did not take any action. He just summoned all the subordinates he brought with him and rearranged their tasks.
After nightfall, Mo Zechen and Yingying changed their clothes and set off quietly according to the location provided by Lin Qing.
About three miles away from where Lin Qing said, Mo Zechen's sharp eyes spotted someone in front of him. After making a gesture, the two of them found a place to hide.
Mo Zechen and Yingying hid in a hidden place and watched, but found that there was actually a group of officers patrolling in front of them.
But the problem is that although this place belongs to Xuancheng, it is far away from the city and belongs to the wilderness.
Under what circumstances would a group of officers be patrolled in the wilderness?
Thinking of this, Mo Zechen's heart suddenly sank.
Because Lin Qing had concealed something from them before, or even lied, Mo Zechen was still a little suspicious when he told Lin Qing that there was a gold mine in Xuancheng.
But now it seems that Lin Qing probably didn't lie this time, and there really is a gold mine in Xuancheng.
Shadow also noticed the presence of the official and asked, "Your Majesty, do we want to continue to check further?"
Mo Zechen was silent for a moment, looked up at the sky, and said softly, "No need."
There is still a long way from where Lin Qing said, and there are officers patrolling here. If you continue walking inside, there will only be more people patrolling.
He was confident that he would not be found, but the problem was that he might not have enough time. If he went in hastily, he might not be able to evacuate before dawn.
Since he was not completely sure, Mo Zechen did not intend to take the risk of exposing himself.
The few people he brought could not suppress all the troops in Xuancheng.
Mo Zechen didn't linger, "Go back first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
After returning to the inn, Mo Zechen took off the jade pendant he carried with him and handed it to Yingying.
"When the city gate opens tomorrow, you take my jade pendant and go to the nearby city to mobilize troops."
Mo Zechen paused for a moment and then changed his words, "No, just bypass the nearby city and mobilize troops from a farther place."
According to Lin Qing, all the officials in Xuancheng were involved in the gold mine. Could it be that some officials from the surrounding cities were also attracted by them?
If someone was really recruited, wouldn't it be enough to alert the enemy if he asked Shadow to mobilize troops without knowing it?
As a precaution, it is better not to let Shadow deploy troops in nearby cities.
"yes."
Shadow didn't ask any questions. After respectfully accepting the jade pendant from Mo Zechen, seeing that there was nothing else to do, he turned around and left to let Mo Zechen rest.
