In Linchuan City, Xue Lang is still in Jingshan, he is no longer at all stable and elegant as a few days ago, but a little unkempt, because he is not well rested, there is a thick black under his eyes, tired and irritable.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Xue Lang's search for Xia Meixue was just for show. Later, because he was looking too seriously, although he felt unbelievable, everyone still had to believe that Xue Lang really valued Xia Meixue, otherwise, he would not have let go of all the things and business at home, lived in Jingshan, and spent countless manpower and material resources to find it day and night.

But Xue Lang really did it, and insisted on doing so in the midst of countless people's doubts and objections.

Xue Lang only slept for two hours that night, and when he got up in the morning, he looked at his pale face and bloodshot eyes in the mirror, and swept everything on the table to the ground.

The little girl outside the door was pushing the door to bring hot water in, and she was taken aback: "Master......"

Xue Lang propped his hands on the table, gasped for breath and calmed down, and said in a slow voice: "It's okay, come in." ”

The little girl has been serving Xue Lang for several years, in her impression, Xue Lang has always been a very gentle master, although he is rich, he is very calm, and he is generous to his subordinates, and he has never been so out of shape. But this is really because of the disappearance of his wife, no matter how anxious and persistent Xue Lang's performance is, it still feels very strange.

The little girl put the water on the table, Xue Lang took a towel and wiped it himself, then dropped it and went out.

He was in a bad mood, not just because of how he looked in the mirror, but because he saw a faint black mark on the side of his neck.

It was a sign of an impending attack of corpse poison.

Although the Xue family is now a serious businessman, with a lot of money and business all over the country, it is little known that the first pot of gold that the Xue family made a fortune is not so glorious.

That was two hundred years ago, the Xue family didn't know how many generations of their ancestors were, they were just idle gangsters who didn't want to farm hard. I always wanted to do a small business, but I didn't have the capital, so I did some stealing chickens and dogs every day, and I was hungry.

Those kind of people are very bold. The ancestor of the Xue family was the same, one day he made a bet with someone to be more guts, for a hundred copper plates, he had to go to a mass grave for the night.

There is nothing about it, although the mass graves are all buried with dead people. It's scary, but it's not dangerous. After the ancestor of the Xue family spent half a night in fear, he was no longer afraid, and he couldn't sleep, so he began to use his brains to find out if he could find anything valuable on the dead in the cemetery, and it was good to change it for two meals of wine.

This search found out the monstrous wealth and the catastrophe.

The ancestors of the Xue family didn't know whether they were unlucky or lucky, and they really found a lot of wealth in the mass grave. From a headless corpse, a bag of gold was found, and the moment was simply ecstatic, no matter what bet or not, he left the small mountain village where he had lived for several generations overnight, and came to Linchuan to start a small business.

Maybe the Xue family started to transfer from now on, and the ancestors of the Xue family used that bag of gold as the capital, first tried to do a small business, and then went unstoppable. Gradually, the business grew bigger, and the money rolled in more and more, and soon bought a large house and bought a servant. married a daughter-in-law, said goodbye to the gangsters of the past, and looked like a successful businessman.

But a few years later, the ancestor of the Xue family found that a faint black spot appeared on his body, which was a patch at first, and the color was also very light. And it was not taken to heart. But soon, the color of this black spot became heavier and heavier, and the number became more and more, because he had money, he invited countless famous doctors to take countless good medicines, but it had no effect, until he met a You Fang Langzhong, and he said that he was poisoned by corpses.

The corpse poison can be solved, but no one can solve it, and there is a high probability that it will be inherited. People infected by corpse poison, after middle age, will gradually begin to poison, from the discovery of the first black spot to the death of poison, the fastest half a year, the slowest, can only last a year.

Although Dr. You Fang knew a thing or two about corpse poison, he unfortunately didn't understand it, so he just said something he knew about the general situation and quietly left.

The ancestor of the Xue family already knew that his life was short, and he was disheartened, but he was glad that he already had a son, and the Xue family finally did not cut off his children and grandchildren in his own hands.

At the moment, the ancestor of the Xue family wrote down this matter as it was, and instructed each generation that only the male who inherited the family business could see it, and as long as there was one person in the Xue family, he would spare no effort to find a way to treat the corpse poison.

Therefore, when Xue Lang found out that Xia Meixue's father and daughter had superb medical skills, he intentionally or unintentionally tested it, and then was pleasantly surprised to find that the Lin family really had a way to treat corpse poison. It's just that this pharmaceutical method is too extreme, so it is not allowed by the family rules.

Although Xue Lang is not a great traitor, he is not a good person, he will not harm others, when he needs to live, he can't care about the life and death of others.

So Xue Lang did his best to make Xia Meixue fall in love with her with all her heart, let her break up with her father and bring her home.

Old man Xue was fortunate not to inherit corpse poison, but after Xue Lang was thirty-five years old, he found a black spot on his body, but because of taking Xia Meixue's medicine, the black spot gradually faded away, which made him ecstatic, because the ancestor had written in his last words that corpse poison can be cured, and as long as one person is cured, the toxicity will naturally disappear, and the descendants of the Xue family will no longer be troubled by corpse poison.

And because of the lack of medicine, the first black spot began to appear on Xue Lang's body, if Xia Meixue could not be found, if Xia Meixue had really been killed, then it would not take a year and a half to accompany him.

Moreover, the corpse poison attack and death, I want to know that it will never be a comfortable way to die, Xue Lang feels terrible when he thinks about it.

Just when Xue Lang was upset, his subordinates hurried from Linchuan City to give him a message.

"What?" Xue Lang frowned: "Said that Linchuan is going to have a large-scale plague recently?" Then don't you tell Xining to buy more medicinal materials this time, isn't this what the second young master is responsible for, come and tell me what to do? ”

The subordinates had a bitter look on their faces: "Master, it was the shopkeeper of Heshantang who came to me, and he said that at this time, the medicine collected by Xining should have arrived, but this time there is no news so far." In the past few days, several flavors of medicine in Heshantang have been out of stock, and the opinions of the guests are very large. And according to the news from the second young master, there is a problem with the medicinal materials in Xining this year, so ......"

Xue Lang became angry when he heard this: "We have been collecting Xining's medicinal materials for so many years. What could go wrong? ”

"I don't know if it's small." The subordinates said helplessly: "Heshantang has always been managed by the second young master, and others dare not interfere." I don't know what's going on this time. Because of the lack of medicine in Heshantang, many of the original guests had to go to Zhengduofang...... Zhengduofang also has mutual preferential agreements with many small shops, and now those small shops are already expanding their stores. One after another, a lot of the Xue family's business was divided. ”

There is only one Heshan Hall, and the Xue family is not in the eyes, even if all the Heshan Halls are closed, it is only a drop in the bucket. But now it has directly affected the Xue family's business in every field. Xue Lang can't help but take it seriously, even if it is still a very slight impact, if it continues according to this trend, it will eventually develop into an irreparable situation one day.

"Master, I think you still have to call the second young man and ask him well." The subordinate added: "It's only Linchuan that has this situation now, but generally speaking, once the plague breaks out, it can't be a matter of a region. If the surrounding counties start to have this rumor, our situation will be very troublesome, if there has been no medicinal supplement. The reputation of Wo Shan Tong will be greatly affected. ”

What his subordinates said, how could Xue Lang not know, he said with a gloomy face: "Where is the second young master now?" ”

"It doesn't seem to be in Linchuan." The subordinate said: "The people in the store said that they hadn't seen it for several days, and it was said that they might have gone to Xining." Not sure. ”

Xue Lang exhaled deeply: "Let people go and find it, let him come to see me immediately." I don't know what is so-called, there is not enough success, and there are more failures. ”

In the past, Xue Lang felt that Yu Shanna was not bad. Although I like to be jealous, this is a very normal thing, as long as you know the general situation, you can manage the back house in the future. I think Xue Mingsheng is not bad. Although there are such and such shortcomings, he is still young, and he will manage the Heshan Hall well, teach him more, and in time, he can take on the Xue family's business.

But after this period of time one thing after another. Those good impressions from before have disappeared, especially when he thinks that everything he has arranged perfectly is ruined in the selfish interests of Xue Mingsheng and Yu Shanna, he is even more angry.

Xue Lang has lived this life of fine clothes and food since he was a child, and now he wants something, such a person is even more afraid of death, he is not distressed to hand over the family business to his son, but he doesn't want to die. So at this time, he had already decided that Xue Mingsheng had indirectly killed him, so naturally he would not have any good impression of him.

Originally, Xue Lang was hesitating, if he made trouble again, he must be unwilling to let Xue Mingsheng inherit the family business, but except for Xue Mingsheng, there are no boys below, but he is still young, and he has never been in contact with the family business, if he gives Xue Lang a few more years, maybe he can take it slowly, but the reality is so cruel, he can't find Xia Meixue, he has a year at most, and the next half a year, he may already be sick and can't deal with any problems.

Xue Lang exhaled a long breath and said, "You go and make arrangements, I will return to Linchuan today." ”

As soon as he heard this, his subordinates were overjoyed and hurriedly responded. Although it has been a bit incredible these years, he has been a little worried these days, if he can't find Xia Meixue, will Xue Lang stay in Mirror Mountain all the time, and some people even think that if he can't find it, Xue Lang will be martyred or something.

And now it seems that because of Xue Mingsheng's unreliability, Xue Lang is finally going back to take care of things. This is really gratifying.

The subordinates arranged to return to the city, and Xue Lang also arranged for the people who stayed in Jingshan to continue to look for him, but in fact, he was already a little desperate in his heart, and some of the general trend had gone.

At this time, Xue Mingsheng didn't know that Xue Lang had already had the idea of changing people, and was on his way back to Linchuan from Xining, and he was not just coming back, he was also planning to do something on the way.

From Xining back to Linchuan, the largest city to pass through is Liuzhou, generally speaking, the convoy is bound to rest here for half a day, and both men and horses need to replenish energy. And this place is the best place to do it.

Xue Mingsheng planned to let people mix some poisonous weeds into Rong Ruo's medicinal herbs, and then tell Rong Ruo the news, whether he believed it or not, he could be pulled into his camp. If you believe it, you can be a good person, and call Rong Ruo to deal with Xue Mingyang together, if you don't believe it, then when something happens to Zhengduofang, Rong Ruo will still hate Xue Mingyang.

Xue Mingsheng was very proud at this time, and he had a feeling that no matter how he calculated, Xue Mingyang would definitely be unlucky as a result.

As Xue Mingsheng expected, the carriage entered Liuzhou at the scheduled time and stayed in the largest inn, because there were many people and goods, and two large courtyards were requested, which were exactly the same as the usual route and itinerary for transporting medicinal materials in Heshantang.

In another inn, Xue Mingsheng spent a lot of money to invite a few people on the road, and the light skills were very good, and gave them a small packet of medicinal powder, no other requirements, as long as they slipped into the courtyard at night, opened the boxes on the carriage, and poured any medicinal herbs into it.

The medicinal materials are packed in boxes and boxes, and when they arrive in Linchuan, they will be put together first, and then sorted, as long as there is a problem with one box, they will not be able to pick it out at all, either all of them will be destroyed, or, just wait for the death.

A sinister smile appeared at the corner of Xue Mingsheng's mouth, as long as Xue Mingyang could be unlucky and a few people died, he didn't care about it at all.

In the inn, Rong Ruo and Lin You rested normally after eating, and they didn't feel anything unusual at all. But after Rong Ruo got up early the next morning, Chen Liu entered the house and said in a low voice: "Young Master, as we expected, someone came in last night......

"Someone came in and did something?" Rong Ruo raised his eyes and said, "Is it the box that we marked?" ”

"That's the box." Chen Liudao: "Last night, I specially instructed the other brothers to be vigilant, only the guy who guarded the box was attracted by the sound halfway and deliberately walked away two steps, and when he came back, he found that the box had been opened. ”

The mark is so subtle that if someone ties a strand of hair to the lock of the box, as long as the box is opened, the hair will definitely break, and people will not notice it.

"Good." Rong Ruo smiled with satisfaction: "Remember this box, don't make a noise to anyone, the convoy is driving normally, speed up and return to Linchuan." (To be continued.) )
