Chapter 401: It came in handy

In the distance, you can smell the fragrance of flowers transmitted by the wind on the side of the Magnolia Hall.

This season is actually not the time when the flowers are at their peak and most delicate.

If it is the end of spring and the beginning of summer, it is the most beautiful time in the courtyard of Magnolia Hall, with purple and red, and the garden is full of flowers.

In the Magnolia Hall, several charcoal pots were lit in the room where Miss Hua lived.

As soon as I walked into the room, I felt warm, in stark contrast to the cold outside, and there was a kind of warmth that made people greedy.

The one who was leaning on the couch on one side of the room and flipping through the idle book, because of the injury to his legs and feet, rarely showed a little bit of weakness that he didn't have on weekdays.

If she stays silent like this, the whole person is more calm, and it is quite eye-catching to look at.

The maid poured a cup of tea for her eldest lady and put it on the side, a place that could be reached by her hand, so that she could get a drink.

Then the maid walked to the stove and squatted down to stir the coals in the stove.

There is also a food box on the table, which is a snack delivered here by the maid from the big kitchen of the Yuwen family.

From the time she was sent into this room to the present, the eldest lady of the Hua family has not moved.

A bunch of menus were listed in the large kitchen of Yuwen's house, which politely refused because it might be in conflict with the medicine, and what was sent was a snack with the name listed on the paper.

The maid opened the box and saw that the dim sum was very exquisite.

She got up after setting off the charcoal fire, walked to the window, looked outside, and suddenly saw a figure walking in the courtyard of Yulan Hall, two figures in front of and behind.

The maid suddenly said excitedly in the other direction of the house: "Miss, the third young master is back!" “

The people on the couch heard about it. Throwing down the book he was flipping through in his hand, he responded in the direction where the maid was standing, "You see it clearly, what if it's not?" “

There was a hint of hesitation in Miss Hua's tone.

It started from rushing from Beilangshan overnight to take a car back to the house of Yuwen's family in the east of Suzhou City. There are a lot of people who have come and gone, but none of them have him!

Everyone who came said that the third young master of the Yuwen family went to find a doctor.

In Miss Hua's opinion, how could it take so long to find a doctor?

At one point, she thought that the other party was reluctant to come to see her relationship, and when she woke up, she lost her temper in the house.

But when the maid next to her calmed down, she told her very carefully, the whole process of how to get down from the mountain.

also said that the third young master did not fake others and personally brought her down.

The maid also talked to her about how to quickly get to the east of Suzhou City, and the third young master accompanied her along the way. Speaking of looking for the Yuwen family, Dr. Qian, who was used to inviting him, was not there.

I heard that Dr. Qian was taken to see a doctor by the Suzhou Mansion, so the third young master went to the yamen to inquire about the news.

The sum of these words in the ears inevitably makes people's hearts throb a little. It seems that the temper tantrum I had before seems a little redundant.

Unconsciously, Miss Hua was moved by the girl's colorful description.

This time, at least the third young master of the Yuwen family who she was thinking about sounded quite dedicated.

Miss Hua's mood at the moment is actually similar to that of a maid, but her face is not good to show too much.

The figures in the garden outside the Magnolia Hall walked through the path one after the other and walked to the side of the main house

The guard came out of the alley. From the gate of the gambling house, I walked all the way to the snack bar, where I sat with Yuanbao.

He didn't hesitate to sit down next to me.

It's a place where people come and go. Just right for talking.

Lively places are often good for conversations, as long as you are close to each other, you don't have to worry about being noticed.

"How?" I lowered my voice and glanced at the alley where he had come out.

The gambling house business is doing well, and it doesn't take long for people to keep coming in and out.

Not only did I want to know, but the ingots sitting opposite him looked at the guard with a nervous expression, and a pair of eyes were fixed on him. Desperate to hear the answer from the guard's mouth.

"Childe, the person who entered the gambling house is the doctor of the pharmacy."

The guards are simple and simple in one sentence. All my suspicions were confirmed, and for a moment there was a feeling that the dust had settled.

Sure enough, sure enough, it was the people from the pharmacy, and of course, I needed to know more!

"Have you asked for details?" I frowned and asked the guard.

"He was careful when he went in, and didn't talk much to the people around him," the guard bowed his head, "but there were people at the table where he stayed, and there were people who knew him well, so he still said a few words." ”

The guard Ah Lai said softly: "Several doctors from the pharmacy in Suzhou City were taken away by the government one after another, and when they came back until now, they sent a carriage to send them to the gate of Suzhou City. ”

"Childe, he complained to the people around him that the mountain road was difficult to walk," the guard Ah Lai said as he looked up at me, "He said that there was a lot of delay on the way. ”

"According to this, it has been determined that it will not be in the Suzhou Mansion."

I pondered for a moment and then said, "Since that person said that the road conditions are so bad, and the carriage was sent to the city gate, it should be outside Suzhou City, and he drove a lot of mountain roads back." ”

"In that case," I paused, looking down and thinking again.

The ingots on the other side heard my conversation with Ah Lai clearly, and immediately leaned over and asked the guard: "You said that the person who passed by us just now is the doctor of the pharmacy?" “

Yuan Bao looked at him in disbelief, and for a moment, his gaze shifted to me, and his tone was questioning: "But, how would Childe know?" ”

He looked at me and asked, "Are you guessing too, not like that?" ”

When I asked Yuan Bao to guess at first, my expression and tone showed him that I knew the inside story.

At this moment, although Yuan Bao knew the answer from the mouth of the guard Alai, he still couldn't figure it out in his heart.

Therefore, Yuan Bao still has doubts in his heart.

"Stupid," said the guard, "smell." ”

Yuan Bao was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he suddenly realized: "It turned out to be a medicinal taste, and Childe is really keen!" "Hey, because Childe also knows medical skills to know, didn't the little one suddenly remember it?"

After Yuan Bao finished speaking, he scratched his head and looked at me embarrassedly and said, "Before, the son also let the little one guess." The little ones don't know how to guess. ”

"It's impossible to guess."

It was the vague smell of medicine that caught my attention when the man at the mouth of the alley passed us to the gambling house.

Once the seeds of doubt are planted, according to my habit, they must be confirmed before they can be reassured. What's more, this season is the most delicate time for the situation in Suzhou City.

In the past, there were alien races in the north who set up offices on the mountain road, and then there were doctors in Suzhou City who were all "invited" by the people of the government to leave.

Under all these premises, I can't help but care!

The guards were obviously aware of the anomaly of the man, but they hesitated to go to the gambling house to follow us because they wanted to protect us, but fortunately they went in the end.

"However, since the doctor has returned to Suzhou City after helping the government run errands, why did he run to the gambling house as soon as he came back?"

Yuan Bao blinked. With a confused expression, he said, "Didn't he go back to the pharmacy?" ”

I arranged for the yen to buy the tools in the kitchen, and he didn't follow me and the guards to the pharmacy.

Yuan Bao did not see the patients who came to make trouble in the pharmacy with his own eyes, but the doctors in several pharmacy in Suzhou were busy every day. The people in Suzhou City know it.

Especially when he was temporarily taken away by the people of the government, and the pharmacy did not have the manpower to take over, according to common sense, once he returned to Suzhou City. Naturally, the first thing you should do is go to the pharmacy.

The doctor did not go to the pharmacy but to the gambling house. What does it mean?

"Because, this trip he didn't run in vain, I heard that he received a reward." The guard explained to Yuanbao, "That person should have a gambling addiction, so he thought about gambling as soon as he returned to the city." ”

"Besides, if you have silver in your hands, your hands are naturally itchy, and gamblers can't keep the silver."

"Doctor? Gambler? Yuan Bao said blankly. What's so strange about it, who said that doctors wouldn't be involved with gambling? ”

"Gambling money. Is it still divided into professions? "I looked at Yuan Bao and almost couldn't help but want to hit his head with my hand." That's right, Childe, you just came out of the gambling house. It's fun to play, it's true that people can't be good-looking. “

Well, I can't have a pleasant chat, I'm trying to raise money! "Childe, where are we going now?" Yuan Bao asked me again, "Are we going to wait for the gambling doctor to come out, or do you have something to do with him?" "No, I just want to know where they went and when they will be back," I paused, looking at the guard, Ah Lai, and asked, "Did he ever mention that the doctors who went with him had returned to Suzhou City?" "I don't seem to have said it," the guard looked at me intently, "Childe, I guess that since they are going in batches, I am sure that those few will also return to Suzhou at about the same hour." “

After thinking about it, the guard replied in a cautious tone.

Yuanbao's eyes lit up immediately, and he hurriedly interjected on the side: "Then Dr. Qian from the east of the city should also be back, right?!" "There are people in Yulan Hall to see a doctor, even if we go back, no one will come to disturb the child."

As he spoke, Yuan Bao let out a sigh, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Originally, the little one was worried that when he returned to the mansion in the east of the city, the people from Yulan Hall would come to find Gongzi." “

He said with a relaxed expression: "It seems that there is no need to worry about it now, it's good!" “

I moved my eyes and saw someone coming out of the alley on the other side of the gambling house, and I looked at it, who was it not the doctor?

Looking from where we were sitting, the man looked dejected when he came out. "Childe, he probably lost money, right? Lost it so quickly, isn't the reward given by the government not enough? Or did he pick a big one? “

Yuan Bao muttered a few words, his eyes fixed on the man.

Watch him pass by the door of the snack bar, then head south onto a bridge to the street where the pharmacy is located.

I watched the man's back thoughtfully until he disappeared around the corner.

I withdrew my gaze and fell on the guard's face and said, "You did a good job and didn't alarm the others, do you want to eat something now, I still want to go for a walk in the street." "No," the guard shook his head, "thank you, Childe." "Yuanbao, let's pay and go." I warn you.

The three of them stood up one after another, paid the bill, and left the snack bar that sold stewed stew.

Standing on the street, I paused and walked in the direction of the south of the city. "Childe, are you going to go to the docks right now?" Yuan Bao asked me. "No, that street looks lively, and I want to go outside the pharmacy to have a look," I thought about it carefully, and there are no new goals for the time being, so I might as well just walk around the city.

"Yuanbao, just walk like this, don't lose it."

I specifically instructed the two of them. "Don't worry, we are all more familiar with Suzhou City than you, how can we lose it."

Yuan Bao looked at the guard for a moment, then replied with a grin, and he followed behind me.

The guard was the same as when he came, slightly more distanced, still walking behind the two of us.

Heading south, in the same direction as the pharmacy doctor, we went up the stone bridge, which connected to the street where the pharmacy was located

In the east house of Suzhou City, Tianfang is writing a letter in the study.

A piece of paper was spread out on the table, but he couldn't put down his pen.

Tianfang put down his pen, got up a little irritably, slowly walked to the window on the side of the study, pushed open the window and looked out.

In the distance is the blue sky of Suzhou City, and the cold wind in the courtyard blows in, blowing away the heat in the room.

Tianfang has something on his mind, even if the letter should be written before parting, it is a bit of a word to write at this moment.

The people in the front yard don't know anything about the movement in the backyard.

At this time, the dark pile from the capital city and the guard who arrived first from Suzhou City had just come out of the dungeon.

Speaking of which, this dungeon was specially built by Tianfang when the mansion bought it.

These people didn't even hire craftsmen, they were all done by Haiguo's own people, and they were unwilling to fake others for the sake of keeping a secret relationship.

When the courtyard was first built, this secret dungeon was dug behind closed doors and connected to the secret room of the side house.

At that time, the guards didn't understand the meaning of Tianfang, so they came all the way to Suzhou to buy a house, and they had to build a secret room and a dungeon?

After all, it's in the land of Sealand, so who does the Lord plan to imprison?

In the eyes of the guards, will the secret rooms and dungeons built in the east courtyard of Suzhou City seem a bit redundant?

A series of questions hovered over their minds, and there was no explanation.

After it was built, although the lord had been to Suzhou City, it had never come in handy, and it was not until this trip that the guards realized that they were still thinking too simply, and their eyes were shallow.

After all, the Lord sees the long term and comes in handy!

The faces of the few people who came out of the secret room were not very good-looking.

Especially the dark piles from the national capital.

Unlike the guards, this group of people usually did not have many opportunities to take on the duties of interrogation.

This time, they actually seized a rare opportunity, and they all hoped to use their own strength to find out some new information from the mouths of those detainees.

Before entering the dungeon, the guards of Suzhou City made it clear and told them that basically the possibility of such an idea being realized was zero. (To be continued......)
