People were coming and going outside the inn, and there was constant noise. Inside the inn, there were the voices of waiters greeting guests from time to time, and the wooden boards in the corridors were stepped on and creaked.
Everything is so noisy.
In the room, you can smell it.
Jiang Sihai and Zhou Chaoyang were sitting at the wooden table indoors, waiting quietly. Mo Tao was standing in front of the bed, looking nervous, holding his hands tightly together, holding his breath and looking at his second uncle who was sitting on the short table next to the bed. Woman checking pulse.
Even if the other party only had a profile look, it still made Mo Tao's heart beat loudly.
Maybe, I was too nervous about my second uncle's condition.
Seeing Xiao Ming finish diagnosing the pulse, Mo Tao couldn't wait to ask: "Miss Xiao, how is my second uncle's illness?" The second uncle had just fallen asleep with his eyes closed. When they entered the house, the second uncle did not wake up. He was really afraid that his second uncle would sleep like this.
He was even more afraid of hearing anything from Xiao Ming's mouth that would scare him.
"The condition is not even critical. It is just a small symptom of wind and cold. It is just because of the anger filling the chest and the imbalance of the spleen and stomach, causing the body to lose weight day by day."
Mo Xingyu's illness is actually not serious. The reason why it became so serious is simply caused by external forces. What he is worried about is the 130,000 taels of silver. He lives in worries and worries every day, full of anger. It is difficult to calm down, and the mood is gloomy and difficult to understand. Naturally, I have no intention of taking medicine and recuperating in peace.
Over time, it will lead to kidney qi deficiency, liver fire excess, heart qi stagnation, yin and yang imbalance, systemic mechanism imbalance, and ultimately death.
"Illness comes like a mountain, Mr. Mo should give more guidance to Mr. Mo, make him feel relaxed, take medicine on time, and the disease will naturally be cured."
"Really!" Mo Tao exclaimed in surprise, but for a moment he felt depressed again. That was 130,000 taels of silver! How could the second uncle's mood get better? The second uncle couldn't close his eyes all day and night because of this, and the medicine Nor would he take it.
It was better a few days ago, and they still had some money to treat illnesses and buy medicine, but now, they have...
"I will first draw up a recipe to recuperate Mr. Mo's body. I also understand your current difficulties. Please rest assured that we are here to fully cooperate with Mr. Zhou to catch this heinous liar and punish him severely."
Mo Tao nodded excitedly and took out the gold ring as a medical fee, but Xiao Ming blocked it and said, "It's not too late to pay me the medical fee after you catch the liar."
After Xiao Ming prepared the prescription, they returned to the teahouse. Xiao Ming asked Mo Tao a few questions. She asked even more detailed questions than Zhou Chaoyang. Mo Tao also told more, even describing the liar he met that day. He told me what kind of clothes he was wearing.
"At about dusk that day, my second uncle and I got off the boat and planned to find an inn to stay. Unexpectedly, we saw those two people in the inn. We didn't know them at the time, just because they were talking to each other. His voice was a little loud, and he mentioned the Xiao family again, so the second uncle started to pay attention..."
Although the second uncle paid attention to that person, he sat down at the table next to them and listened to the two men's chat as if unintentionally. When he heard another person call him Manager Yi and mentioned the Xiao family in Liujia Village several times, the second uncle suspected that this person might be Yi Feng, the manager of the Xiao family.
Looking back now, Mo Tao could only feel the burning pain on his face. The two of them were chatting in the lobby of the inn as if no one was around. They had no intention of avoiding people. Now it seems that they did it on purpose...
However, he and his second uncle did not see through the scam at the time.
The 'Yi Guanshi' was dressed extremely richly, wearing a bamboo-green dress made of Hangzhou silk, with a gemstone belt around his waist, hanging several valuable ornaments, and a little finger around his neck. The thick gold chain and several gold rings on the ten fingers were shining with dazzling light.
He only found it strange that such clothes did not look like a steward from a wealthy family, but more like a master from a wealthy family.
He even thought that the Xiao family behind Steward Yi Feng was an upstart family that had only emerged in recent years. With such a lack of background, the steward who came out was naturally dressed in a tacky way, wishing he could wear all the gold and silver, and even his words. vulgar.
After the second uncle interacted with Manager Yi for two days, he inquired about many things without leaving any trace, and became even more convinced of Manager Yi Feng.
After spending two days with his second uncle, Manager Yifeng made him his confidant and even treated him to wine from the Xiao family's specialty fruit wine. After getting drunk once, he not only told him The second uncle once suffered from the pain of a fire, leaving ugly scars on his face. Thanks to the wonderful hands of his mistress, Miss Xiao, he was rejuvenated...
He even told his second uncle that he was newly married in March to a girl from Liujia Village. For this reason, the girl rewarded him with a large house...
He even told his second uncle that the business of Xiao's seed shop was making a fortune every day...
There are even some gossips that the second uncle didn’t find out...
Based on this, the second uncle became more and more convinced of this 'Yi Feng'. He accidentally learned that 'Yi Feng' appeared in Hechun at this time because Miss Xiao arranged for him to transport a batch of fruit wine and cans to the capital. Going to leave...
After hearing the news, the second uncle felt that the opportunity was not to be missed. He asked 'Guanshi Yi' for help and even gave him a large gift. Only then did 'Yi Feng' avoid the difficulty and poured 10,000 jars of fruit wine overnight. with cans given to them.
After the money and goods were settled, 'Yi Feng' left the ship and sailed northward on the pretext that he was in a hurry to transport goods to Beijing.
Before leaving, 'Yi Feng' even extended a warm invitation to his second uncle to visit Xiao's family in Liujiacun, and he would definitely entertain him well.
After finishing speaking, Mo Tao felt his face was wet. The past events were vivid in their minds, hovering in their minds like a nightmare. Thinking about it afterwards, the whole thing was so coincidental and strange, but they were in the middle of the game at that time. The two of them had long lost their minds.
They even thought that it was a scam deliberately set up by their rivals in their hometown, but when they thought about it carefully, they felt that it was wrong. After all, the second uncle was collecting family wealth and traveling north, so no one knew the purpose of their trip.
Now I think that the person waiting in the inn set up this trap using the Xiao family as bait. They were not the only ones who were lured. If they were not fooled, others would be.
Xiao's fruit wine is so tempting.
They were exactly the same fish that Jiang Taigong fished for.
Still a stupid fish.
Although the second uncle was in a hurry to order the goods, why didn't he follow the second uncle and be complacent.
He even mentally calculated how much money this batch of wine and cans could be sold for, and how much money his uncle would give him as a reward afterwards.
Unfortunately, there is no money and no reward.
"What did you do with the wine?" Xiao Ming asked again, ten thousand jars! That's a lot of money.
"Except for the hundred altars, the rest were destroyed by my second uncle." As soon as Mo Tao said this, everyone present was shocked.
It wasn’t all wine and cans that were destroyed! This is real money.
