(441), the evil servant's family disaster

The first shift arrives, and there are two more shifts in the afternoon, so have a good weekend~! ……

The three guards who escorted the eldest lady to the flower hall with the two maids just now have been guarding the door. Hearing Master Shi's shouts, the three of them hurriedly entered the hall.

Before they could bow down, they heard Shi Jing angrily reprimanding: "Take it down!" ”

The sharp-eyed nurse saw that at the same time as Master Shi gave this order, his palm had already clenched into a fist and clasped it on the table. The knocking sound was not loud, but a few of the guards immediately understood, and escorted the two maids who accompanied the eldest lady to go out.

The situation in the flower hall changed suddenly, but the two maids were a little hindsight, and they were on the spot, letting the hands of the nurse who had practiced some kung fu Ding Tietong-like clasp on their shoulders, and they refused to move.

However, hindsight does not mean that they do not know what is going to happen in their hearts, and who can remember the bad things they have done better than themselves?

The pain of being pinched on the shoulders came, and after the two maids came back to their senses, they instantly felt a sense of fear in their hearts, and they were already crying.

The two maids were powerless to resist the nurses who dragged them outside the flower hall, and they didn't have time to argue, Master Shi didn't give them this opportunity and time at all.

But the two maids know very well that under the fury of the head of the family, what will happen to the so-called 'dragged out'. They were so frightened that they could only shout in desperate voices: "My lord spares his life!" Spare your life! ”

Only now, do you know that you are begging for mercy and still want to beg for your life? Shi Jing's cold eyes stabbed at the two maids who desperately turned around and begged, not only did not ignore this scene, but also wanted to show their determination head-on.

If he would give forgiveness, he would still order such a cruel order?

A few days ago, in that single courtyard, which had been quiet for more than ten years, an incident occurred that almost killed someone.

That afternoon, Cen Chi was supposed to take a walk in the garden in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Unconsciously, I gradually approached the small courtyard where the eldest lady lived in silence. At that time, the eldest lady was basking in the sun at the gate of the courtyard. Cen Chi saw that she was the eldest lady who lived in a simple house in the Prime Minister's Mansion, although she rarely met her, he still smiled politely and greeted several times.

Unexpectedly, after seeing Cen Chi, who was gentle and kind-hearted, the eldest lady was in a trance, and actually regarded him as her grown son and invited him in.

Cen Chi is an outsider, and he doesn't know the past of the eldest lady and what her madness is. Seeing the original hostess of the Prime Minister's Mansion kindly invited. Perhaps there was some pity for her living a 'widow' life for a long time, Cen Chi only hesitated for a moment, and then went in and sat down. After some refreshments, I chatted with the eldest lady.

Originally, this was just a small episode in the daily life of the Prime Minister's house.

With the current age of the eldest lady, she can be longer than Cen Chi's generation. Cen Chi was originally an informal temperament, and it was not a big deal to go into the courtyard to chat with the elders. Even if Master Shi knew about it afterwards. Probably there will be no reason to worry about it.

However, when Cen Chi was chatting with the eldest lady halfway, he suddenly felt unwell, and his physical condition suddenly became bad. Later, the servant called Lang Zhong to take a look, only to find out that he had been poisoned by a vicious chronic poison!

What shocked the whole government even more was that the poison was actually in the tea that the eldest lady had brewed for Cen Chi when she was chatting with Cen Chi!

The doctor explained this chronic poison. It is said that it was refined by a poison doctor with a very bad reputation on the rivers and lakes, and no one can solve it, and it seems that even the poison doctor himself has no antidote.

The reason why the notoriety of poison doctors in the rivers and lakes is so great. In addition to the fact that he has refined the human-like monster of the medicine puppet, it is also because he has a habit of refining all kinds of poisons, but does not care about preparing antidotes.

Cen Chi suffered a poisonous disaster, no matter what the specific reason is, saving his life is an imminent matter. However, I think of the doctors who are close to Kyoto. The ability to compete with the legendary poison doctor in his medical skills can't help but make people think about it.

Recently. The strongest physician in Kyoto, the old man Yan Guang, who was the doctor of the Imperial Medical Bureau at the time, reported the theft of the medicine box at his home, and the old man was also angry because of this incident and took a big leave to recuperate at home.

Shi Jing originally didn't expect that he could invite Yan Guang to treat a Qingke who had no merit in his family. And the key reason why he chose to send Cen Chi to the northwest was because he remembered that another Qing guest named Fang Wu in the mansion had said that the whereabouts of the poison doctor were in the dense Chiyun Gorge in the northwest.

Among the Qing guests in the mansion, Fang Wu is a person who likes to study astrology, but this knowledge is too ethereal, and he rarely talks about this aspect with others.

In addition, Fang Wu was also obsessed with practicing the kung fu of turtle breath to prolong life. He is also like Cen Chi, often leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion and traveling between the four fields, but he only goes to the inaccessible places because he once said: "Some places are secluded and strange, and there is little aura, which is suitable for spitting and prolonging life." ”

Fang Wu's two hobbies, it is difficult to find a soulmate in the Xiangfu Qingke. At first, Shi Jing was rude and respectful to the other party with hospitality, but he just thought that he was a strange person, and did not ask him for help.

Unexpectedly, to this day, a sentence that Fang Wu once said seemed to be able to bring a ray of life to Cen Chi.

Fang Wu said that half of the reason why he deliberately visited Chiyun Gorge was because he wanted to meet the famous discolored poison doctor. Maybe it's because strange people have a quirk of cherishing each other's talents, and Fang Wu thinks: in addition to the evil habit of the poison doctor, he may be the top character in the medicine path.

But Fang Wu later said that he traveled in Chiyun Gorge for half a year, and finally had the luck to meet the poison doctor, but he was fortunate to meet the pharmacist Liao Shi who was passing by here.

People who are a little older should know that more than ten years ago, the reason why Liao Shi was imprisoned in the prison by the monarch of the former dynasty was rumored to be the same as the Department of Toxicology.

It has been spread wildly in the medical circles in Kyoto that Liao Shi not only practiced evil arts with poison doctors, but also influenced his mind by the same sect and became vicious and vicious. So he could save the Queen Mother, but he lost his humanity and played with the heart of experimentation, and after rescuing the Queen Mother, he killed her with his backhand.

At the beginning of Liao Shi's rescue of the Empress Dowager, the name of 'pharmacist' given by Emperor Zhou Ling immediately became a notoriety of 'medicine ghost' after the empress dowager died of an abrupt illness.

Now, after many years, this statement is finally inconclusive. And after Liao Shi left the prison ten years ago, he disappeared, and this kind of bad legend about him gradually faded in the memory of those who knew it.

But those who remember this, after seeing Liao Shi with their own eyes, will definitely be interested in this kind of legend again. There is no way to avoid vulgarity. Tentatively asked Liao Shi if he knew the specific location of the poison doctor in Chiyun Gorge.

Liao Shi didn't say a word about this, didn't say he knew, and didn't say he didn't know. After inquiring about Fang Wu's purpose for coming to this place, Liao Shi only bluntly warned Fang Wu not to continue to go deeper into Chiyun Gorge, because that place not only did not have the so-called aura suitable for prolonging life, but also had a lot of highly poisonous miasma with a pale red color.

Fang Wu's experience now gives Shi Jing a more realistic convincing power. Anyway. Cen Chi's trip, it is best to meet a poison doctor, if you can meet Liao Shi. It's not bad, it's better than staying in Kyoto and waiting to die. Although Kyoto has abundant supplies and a wide number of medical centers, there are not many people who are outstanding in medical skills.

In the past few days, the Prime Minister's Mansion sent a letter to Fang Wu. Fang Wu also replied.

Now Cen Chi, who had died nine times in his life, had been sent to a small town in the northwest corner of the country, and Fang Wu would not answer there. Then he who has been to that place will also act as a guide, accompanying Cen Chi to enter Chiyun Gorge again to find a chance to rescue.

Cen Chi's matter was like this for the time being, and Shi Jing immediately cleared up the other party involved in this poisoning incident.

Logically speaking, the protagonist of the poison prescription seems to be directed at the eldest lady. Because the worst thing about her insanity is that once she goes crazy, the first thing she wants to do is kill someone.

But the eldest lady kills only one trick. If you don't have a knife at hand, you can just choke your neck with your hand. Drugged this kind of thing is not her habit of killing people after committing illness.

To put it another way, a deranged person goes berserk and behaves more towards direct violence. It is also impossible to use such a patient and careful poison trick well.

I sent someone to bring the eldest lady to the flower hall before, but Shi Jing wanted to see if she was really crazy. And the result of the observation is that Shi Jing's two moods are half of each contradictory.

The eldest lady even speaks in a messy way, and it is difficult for the poisoning to have anything to do with her, so there is only one possibility.

It's just that...... Where did the two servants get such a ferocious poison? Why did you deal with Cen Chi?

There are still many mysteries about the latter incident, but just talking about the previous question is enough to attract Shi Jing's attention.

The two maids were each beaten with ten boards, and then the nurse brought them back. In the flower hall, the clamps on their shoulders had just been loosened, and the two women were like thin clay figures, lying weakly on the cold and hard floor tiles.

The skin on their backs had been torn open by the board, and the wound was only reddish with blood, but it was no less painful than a knife cut.

They serve in the small courtyard where the eldest lady lives all the year round, and they actually do very light work, which should be very comfortable. If the body lacks exercise, they can't carry it, and they have lost half their lives when they come down with ten boards.

But they should be glad that if Shi Jing didn't knock on the table just now, but dropped the teacup, the two of them were afraid that they would have been killed at this time.

So when they came back, they couldn't care about the burning pain in their backs, and cried and begged for mercy as much as they could.

But they don't know that death is not terrible, but that it is terrible to be tortured before death. Maybe when they were dragged out just now, they were directly killed, which was a happy relief for them.

Shi Jing saw that the two of them were sent back, and he didn't get angry anymore, but his face was full of coldness.

The two maids, who were half-kneeling and half-lying under the hall, did not dare to look up at him, but he only used one word to pierce this cold air into their hearts.

"Say."

……

Men generally don't like the trivialities of housekeeping, in addition to the men's style of acting, most of them are also because the eldest woman in the family handles these affairs.

But there seem to be some exceptions to the situation of historians.

Although the eldest lady of the Shi family has been mad for many years, Shi Jing still retains her position in the mansion, and it seems that it is also because he believes that the eldest lady will recover one day, and this belief has lasted for more than ten years.

If Mrs. Shi has only gone crazy in recent years, it makes sense that Shi Jing does not continue to string. But in the year when Mrs. Shi first showed madness, Shi Jing was not yet forty years old. It is really rare for a man in a high official position like him to be able to stick to this step for his wife.

But anyway, Shi Jing seems to have another result by doing this, his housework is not so complicated, there are no female dependents in the house, and it is convenient to have a banquet with those guests.

For more than ten years, this is a rare time for Shi Jing to personally review household affairs. This time, even the old butler who had been loyal to the Shi Mansion for many years was not allowed to meddle in this matter.

Shi Jing and the two dynasties are the prime minister, the literary struggle in the court, the martial arts in the prison, I have never seen any wind and waves, not to mention the two maids in front of me.

If he really decided to deal with these two maids, the iron-beaten man would have to let him roll up and burn out of the hole.

Although there are also heroes among women, most men are more decisive than women. For Shi Jing, as long as the suspicion of the eldest lady is ruled out, it will be easy.

Of course, after this family case was cleared, Shi Jing also understood a problem.

The more important reason why he was able to let these two maids recruit so quickly was that the master who instructed these two maids to do many bad things was already dead.

The reason why the two maids continue to do evil after the death of the main messenger is because they know that if they don't go all the way to the dark, sooner or later, it will only be a dead end for themselves.

And now, in the situation where they have to die if they say it or not, they can only choose the former, which seems to have a little way to live.

When the two maids said all the sins that had been hidden in their hearts for more than ten years and had accumulated for more than ten years, Shi Jing only felt as if he had seen two hideous-looking demons vomiting filth in front of him, which was extremely disgusting! He was furious!

He shouldn't have been so angry that easily, but these two people did all the things he cared about, and he couldn't tolerate it.

No matter what kind of person he is, as long as he is not completely crazy, there will always be a few people in his heart who care, which is an immortal part of human nature. And the less people he cares, the less he can tolerate the person he cares about.

The moment he stood up and was about to leave the flower hall, several ways to vent his anger came to Shi Jing's mind: cane death, bury him alive, and burn it......

However, in the end, he just sighed and suppressed the manic feelings in his heart, but not erased them, but pressed them into a line, almost buried in the bottom of his heart without leaving a trace.

After standing still for a while, Shi Jing only said softly: "Take them down to eat something." ”

It was as if he had just suffered a serious illness, and his body had just recovered, but his spirit had not yet recovered.

Of course, he could not forgive the sins committed by these two maids, but after learning of the inhuman torture his wife had suffered, he could not forgive himself for his past negligence.
