The carriage was bumpy on the road, Chu Lingfeng and Xue Mingyang ate and drank well and slept well, and they were in a good mood, and they were leaning on the carriage and gossiping.

"I don't know what Senior Brother has discovered." Chu Lingfeng watched the carriage leave the lively urban area little by little, and the more remote it became.

"You can't guess about your senior brother, how can I know." Xue Mingyang smiled: "But Brother Rong is an interesting person, maybe there are some surprises waiting for us." ”

"Yes." Chu Lingfeng responded approvingly, and said, "But no matter what surprises Senior Brother has, I know what surprises we will have after we return to Linchuan City." ”

Chu Lingfeng's surprise is the nightmare of the Chu family.

The Chu family has always been a small medical center, and suddenly has more than a dozen medical centers, and the Chu family has been happy for the past few days and doesn't know what to do, although at the beginning, Chu Hongliang was very dissatisfied that this medical center was in the hands of his son, but the wood has already been completed, not to mention that the medical center at home has been gradually handed over to his eldest son over the years, and now it is just the difference between paying a day early and paying a day late.

The Chu family is different from the Xue family, Chu Hongliang has always valued his eldest son, although he also has concubines and concubines, but the concubines are distinct, so the relationship between him and the main family and the eldest son has always been harmonious, and after a little awkward feeling for a while, there is nothing.

So the family happily accepted Heshantang, changed a group of their own henchmen, and had a sweet dream of counting money and counting to hand cramps.

But this dream is too short-lived, but it is the third day after taking over Heshantang, Chu Hongliang is calculating how much money he can earn in a year in the study, and someone from below comes to report in a panic.

"What's the hurry, what's the hurry." Chu Hongliang has always shown himself to be elegant, and he is most unaccustomed to those who are panicked and not calm enough, and frowned: "How many times have I said, don't panic in the house, no matter what happens, be calm." Rushing won't solve anything. ”

The little guy wiped his sweat and said, "The master is not good." The old man is not good, someone took the medicine of Heshantang, was poisoned, and was about to die. Now. The family is making trouble at the door, asking us to pay for our lives. ”

With a snap, the pen in Chu Hongliang's hand fell on the spread of paper, staining a large piece of ink.

"What did you say?" Chu Hongliang stood up suddenly, and he didn't care about the calmness, demeanor, or something he said just now. Hurriedly said: "What do you say, say it again." ”

The little guy calmed down a little at this time, and said: "It's a young man from Feng Village on the outskirts of the city, who has a cold, and grabbed two pills in Heshantang yesterday, and drank it at that time. But who knew that he suddenly vomited blood in the middle of the night, and his family panicked, so he quickly invited a doctor from Zhengduofang. At first glance, it was said that he was poisoned. It can be said that the young man had no appetite because he was sick, and he didn't eat anything for half a day, except for drinking the medicine of Heshantang's decoction, so the doctor checked the medicine he had not had time to take back, and found that it was mixed with poisonous herbs. ”

"How is this possible?" Chu Hongliang was stunned, and then said: "Our Chu family has been a doctor in Linchuan for several generations, and there has never been a matter of mixing poisonous herbs with medicinal herbs. What's more, he is the medicine he caught in Heshantang, yes, he is the medicine that he caught in Heshantang. Then it shouldn't be looking for us, it should be looking for the Xue family. If you want to lose money and pay for your life, you should go to the Xue family, we will only take over for two or three days. The herbs of Heshantang were all purchased in the hands of the Xue family, what does it have to do with us? ”

"But now Heshantang is the master's master." The little servant reminded: "Master, even if you are looking for the Xue family, it may be better for you to come forward." Where do the common people know so much, it's just who is the shopkeeper and who is looking for whom. ”

It was also Chu Hongliang who transferred Heshantang to him in order to show off, after Xue Mingyang transferred the ownership of Heshantang to him. made a lot of publicity, for fear that others would not know about this matter, so now everyone in Linchuan City who has ears knows that the new head of Heshantang is Chu Hongliang, so if something happens, who will Chu Hongliang look for?

Chu Hongliang turned around twice in place and said, "You're right, it should be me going to the Xue family, I'll go now, first calm the patient down, and then I'll go to the Xue family, go to Xue Mingyang." The herbs of Heshantang poisoned people, so who would dare to use the remaining herbs, isn't this harmful to me? ”

While speaking, Li Shuhua was walking over, and when she saw Chu Hongliang like this, she knew that something was wrong, she asked, was stunned for a moment, and then slapped the table: "Master, this must be a good thing that Chu Lingfeng did." ”

"How?" Chu Hongliang said: "What does this matter have to do with Lingfeng. Although she is the daughter-in-law of the Xue family, she is not in charge of Heshantang. ”

"Although she is not in charge of Heshantang, Xue Mingyang listens to her." Li Shuhua glanced at Chu Hongliang: "Master, think about it, can this thing be so coincidental?" Heshantang has not had an accident in Linchuan for a hundred years, and as soon as it came to our hands, people died of poisonous herbs within three days. And with a conscience, Chu Lingfeng is such a good character, as soon as we say it, she is willing to hand over Heshantang, her girl is ruthless, and she must not be happy in her heart, so she will make us a stumbling block, and put some poison in the herbs when she leaves, will this thing not be done. ”

Chu Hongliang's ears were soft, and he also knew that asking Chu Lingfeng to give them Heshantang and using her mother's spiritual position to threaten him was really a bit excessive, which made Chu Lingfeng very unhappy. So after thinking about it, I feel that what Li Shuhua said is very reasonable.

Chu Lingfeng's girl has not been filial since she was a child, she is not close to him, and she is a little ruthless. Doing something like this is indeed her style.

At that moment, Chu Hongliang said angrily: "How can I have such a ruthless daughter, just because of her discord with her father, she actually poisoned the medicine and did not hesitate to harm the lives of others, this is really too much." ”

"Yes." Li Shuhua fanned the flames on the side: "Lingfeng is only at such an age, he is so ruthless, how can he do it in the future." Master, you have to be cautious about this matter, if she goes on like this, I am afraid that one day, she will not only kill herself, but also kill all of us. ”

Chu Hongliang also felt very terrible when he thought about his daughter, and he pondered for a moment and said, "After all, it's my daughter, I'll go to her first and see what she has to say." If she is willing to admit her mistakes and take the money out to comfort the injured, I hope that the big things can be turned into small things, and the small things can be turned into small things. If she doesn't admit it, then the only way to do it now is to make a big deal out of it and let the government deal with it. In any case, this herb has nothing to do with us, and we can't carry the black cauldron on our backs. ”

Chu Hongliang's family made up their minds. Let Chu Han go to the front to deal with it first, and then let him prepare a carriage and hurried to Xue's mansion. When I was about to arrive, I realized that something was wrong, and now Xue Mansion is Xue Mingsheng in charge. His daughter and son-in-law's family have already moved out.

And Heshantang was taken over from Xue Mingyang, and the person who had a grudge against him would only be Chu Lingfeng, so he turned the horse's head and went to Xue Mingyang's new house.

Chu Lingfeng knew that the Chu family must be very lively today. But I didn't expect that because of a small negligence, I would also encounter a bustle.

The carriage traveled for half an hour before it reached the gate of a small village.

The coachman stopped the car, and Xue Mingyang helped Chu Lingfeng get out of the carriage.

Because Chu Lingfeng came out too late last night, he didn't alarm anyone, and when Xue Mingyang went to look for it, he only brought a few accompanying servants, and then Yang Guan and Lin Zhijie. But these two have a good hand, just the two of them. A group of ordinary people can't help it.

At this moment, looking at the small courtyard in front of him, Xue Mingyang squinted: "What kind of place is this, Hengyangzhuang, haven't you heard of it, is it the manor that your senior brother bought?" ”

The Rong family's family is in Yangzhou, and most of the industries are also in Yangzhou, and later because they want to come to Linchuan to grab business with Zhengduofang, they also bought a house and a shop in Linchuan City, but this suburban manor. I haven't heard of it.

But Rong Ruo has always been a rich and willful person, otherwise, he would not have given the house to Chu Lingfeng as a meeting gift when he was in Yangzhou. Therefore, when they saw this house at this time, the two of them couldn't help but underestimate in their hearts. Rong Ruo wants to give gifts again, or is there something new in this house?

There were two subordinates standing at the door of Zhuangzi, and when they saw Xue Mingyang's carriage, they greeted them with a smile.

"Young Master Xue, madam. You're coming. The subordinate was polite and respectful: "Rong Shao has explained, please two inside." ”

felt that Rong Ruo was a little pretentious, but Xue Mingyang and the others didn't think much about it, and then entered the courtyard and then into the house.

When they entered the house, Yang Guan and Lin Zhijie habitually followed behind, but they were stopped.

"Young Master Xue, madam, Rong Shao said, let the two of you go in." The next person smiled politely.

Xue Mingyang hesitated, nodded, and asked the two of them to wait outside. This Zhuangzi doesn't look big, and the room is not big, but it is separated by a door, so there will be no accidents. And Rong Ruo can't do anything unfavorable to them, what is the need Just shout, Yang Guan and the two can enter in an instant.

Yang Guan nodded, and Lin Zhijie stopped.

The room is an ordinary room, with a table, a few chairs, and a cubicle in it, and a curtain hanging in the middle, through which you can vaguely see a figure behind the square, as if he is busy with something.

The next person invited the two of them to sit down, poured tea for them, bent down and said, "Young Master Xue, madam, please drink tea." Wait a moment. ”

Somewhat curious about what Rong Ruo was doing, the two of them responded absentmindedly, took two sips of the cup, and stared into the room with their eyes.

However, after taking a sip of tea, Chu Lingfeng's expression was a little wrong, and she suddenly reached out and touched Xue Mingyang's hand: "Why are your hands so dirty, did you rub them somewhere." ”

Xue Mingyang was a little puzzled, and looked at his hand: "No." ”

"Not yet, you look dusty." Chu Lingfeng took Xue Mingyang's hand over, rubbed it, and said, "Look at what's going on, go out and wash it." I saw a well in the yard. That's right......"

Chu Lingfeng smiled, approached Xue Mingyang's ear and said, "There is a small red box on the seat of the carriage, you bring it for me, and I will give it to Senior Brother." He pretended to be a hypocrisy, and I scared him a little. ”

"What do you have in store?" Xue Mingyang was very helpless about the two brothers and sisters who did not play cards according to common sense.

"You just go get it." Chu Lingfeng pushed him: "You go in person, don't let Yang Guan and them see it." ”

Xue Mingyang didn't have anything to do with Chu Lingfeng, so he obeyed, and since he heard her say so, he got up and went to get it.

The subordinates didn't know when they had already retreated, and only the two of them and Rong Ruo in the cubicle were left in the room, so when Xue Mingyang opened the door and went out, no one said anything. When he pushed the door and made a sound, the people inside realized that something was wrong and turned back suddenly.

It's a pity that Xue Mingyang had already gone out at this time, and Chu Lingfeng got up and walked inside, saying, "Senior brother......"

As he spoke, Chu Lingfeng's body fell down softly.

Outside the door, Xue Mingyang did not doubt him, and walked back to the carriage to get something for Chu Lingfeng, but after entering, he heard a bang and fell down.

Yang Guan followed behind him, standing outside the carriage, and after hearing a sound, he said, "Young Master, are you okay?" ”

Yang Guan thought that Xue Mingyang had accidentally tripped over something and fell, but he didn't expect that after shouting, there was no response from inside, and when he opened the door, he saw that Xue Mingyang had already fallen inside.

"Young Master." Yang Guan immediately jumped into the car: "Young master, what's wrong with you?" ”

When Lin Zhijie and several subordinates heard Yang Guan's voice, they immediately surrounded him, Lin Zhijie gave a brief look, and said, "Oh no, the young master has fallen into the way of people and has been drugged." ”

They are all people in the rivers and lakes, and they still understand some simple medicines. I don't know how to solve it, but I can still see it.

As soon as he saw that Xue Mingyang had been drugged, Yang Guan immediately jumped out of the car and said Oh no, Mrs. was still inside, and his figure flashed, so he entered the courtyard and rushed straight into the room.

The subordinates in Zhuangzi no longer knew when they ran away without a trace, and the house was also empty, and Chu Lingfeng was nowhere to be seen.

Yang Guan shouted twice, looked around the yard, and said to Lin Zhijie, who came in to help: "Oh no, Mrs. is missing." ”

"But we have been guarding outside the house, and there are no buildings near this Zhuangzi, how did they take Mrs. away." Lin Zhijie walked around the house, but did not find any secret passages that could be entered and exited, and immediately said: "I will stay here and continue to look for the secret passages, there must be some mechanism in this house, otherwise, it is impossible for them to take Madame away under their noses." You hurry up and take the young master back to find Rong Shao, I don't know what kind of drug the young master has been in, it doesn't matter. ”

Yang Guan thought that it could only be like this now, so he walked out of the door quickly, and did not want a coachman, got into the carriage by himself, and hurried back. This trip was really careless, thinking that Rong Ruo was his own person, so he didn't have a little defense, and now one is in a coma and one is missing, but how can it be good. (To be continued.) )
