Chapter 192: A Trip to Echeng
After Qu Wu and Li Qianmo came out of Mrs. Yang's house, it was getting late.
"Helper, now that we can confirm that Master Sang has wronged his two concubines, what should we do next?" Li Qianmo asked Qu Wudao.
"Although it is said that there is Yang's testimony, she has overturned her previous false accusations, and she can also dig out the two nightmare towns from Sang Mansion as circumstantial evidence, but after all, it is still her side of the story, to make Sang Zhi really believe, you must find Xue Tao and Fan Shan's sister." Qu Wu said.
"Wouldn't it be dangerous to find Fan Shan's sister? After all, it is possible to touch the scars of the Fan Shan brothers and sisters. Li Qianmo said.
"Your concerns are not unreasonable, what kind of personality is Fan Shan's sister? If you learn the truth, will you settle accounts with Fan Shan? None of this is known to us. Qu Wu said.
"How's that to be? Let's get to know Fan's personality first? Li Qianmo asked.
"It's better to find Xue Tao first, if Xue Tao can confirm the facts, the scars of the Fan Shan brothers and sisters are still left to Lord Sang Zhi to reveal by himself." Qu Wu said.
Qu Wu and Li Qianmo chatted while walking, and when they came to the Qingyun, they heard someone call Qu Wu Boss as soon as they got on the boat.
Qu Wu looked sideways, and it was actually Chen Damao.
"Da Mao, why are you here? When did it arrive? Qu Wu was both happy and surprised.
"I saw the note left by Chen Qing, and knew that she was coming to you, worried about her safety, so I hurried here, I just arrived for a while, and I already saw Chen Qing."
Qu Wu asked Chen Da Mao about the situation of Gu Su's brothers, and asked Da Mao if he wanted to take Chen Qing back to Gusu, Da Mao sighed, saying that Chen Qing had a strong personality and did not want to go back to Gusu, and also said that Chen Qing told him that if the boss Qu Wu drove her away, she would go out to wander.
With Chen Qing's personality, Prince Fumeng and Prince Shoumeng of Wu Kingdom are characters she can't afford to provoke or marry, and there is really no other way than to escape.
Although it is reasonable to escape and return to his hometown, Chen Qing knows very well that what awaits him when he returns to his hometown is the fate of a matchmaker who proposes marriage, and then marries a stranger and is trapped in the countryside for a lifetime.
Now that he has walked out of his hometown deep in the mountains and perceived the wonderful outside world, it is difficult for Chen Qing to return to the closed small mountain village.
Therefore, apart from defecting to Qu Wu, Chen Qing really had no choice.
Of course, Qu Wu knew this, so he was also willing to accept Chen Qing, and said to Chen Damao that he would let Chen Qing stay in Yingdu first and see what she was willing to do.
Qu Wu arranged for Da Mao to live in his cabin, and then called Chen Qing to go to the big cabin for dinner.
After dinner, Qu Wu and Gongsun Feng discussed going to Echeng to find Xue Tao.
It is not easy to find Xue Tao, but even if it is difficult to find out how Xue Tao persuaded him to come to Yingdu to testify. Xue Tao would obviously be worried about his safety, after all, he had escaped from Yingdu after being coerced.
Early the next morning, Tong Bo led the backbone of the Qingyun Gang Yingdu Branch to the dock to conduct morning training and morning exercises as usual.
After the morning exercise, Qu Wu left Tong Bo behind and asked him about the situation of the Qingyun Gang in Echeng, and Tong Bo told Qu Wu that the helmsman of the Qingyun Gang in Echeng often came to Yingdu, and he could take everyone to Echeng.
In order to let Xue Tao come to Yingdu with confidence, Qu Wu knew that there must be a guarantee from the government, and it would be difficult to dispel his safety concerns with a few words from his own.
Qu Wu came to the Qingya Teahouse and discussed the matter with Mi Hong, who thought that the only way to do this was to inform Ling Yin's grandson of the evidence of the investigation and seek his help.
The two of them were drinking tea while waiting for the eldest grandson, but the eldest grandson was busy with business today, and he didn't appear in the teahouse until almost noon.
Although the eldest grandson said before that he would not talk about business here, but today's situation was special, Mi Hong found a private room with the best soundproofing effect, and asked Qu Wu to report on the investigation from Sang Zhi's ex-wife Wang and ex-wife Yang's mother, and showed Yang's handwritten testimony to Ling Yin.
After talking about the investigation, Qu Wu proposed the idea of finding Xue Tao and bringing it to Yingdu, hoping that Lord Yin would provide official support.
Ling Yin agreed with Qu Wu's judgment and promised to help, and asked his student, Shao Si Kou to assist in the matter, and accompany Qu Wu and them to Echeng.
The eldest grandson left the Qingya teahouse after lunch, and after a while, Ren Zhong came to Qingya, found Mi Hong and Qu Wu, and discussed the matter of going to Echeng together.
Ren Zhong is the best person who can make Xue Tao trust, not only because of his official status as a young secretary, he has been engaged in justice for nearly ten years, and he not only knows Xue Tao, but also solves several medical incidents for him.
Another day passed, and after breakfast, Ren Zhong came to the Qingyun, which left the dock and headed for Echeng under Qu Wu's instructions. Echeng and Yingdu are both cities along the Yangtze River, and in the downstream of Yingdu, in less than three hours, the Qingyun docked at the Echeng ship wharf.
Tong Bo immediately got off the boat and wanted to find the helmsman of the Qingyun Gang in Echeng before dark, so as to understand the situation of the medical and treatment shops and pharmacies in Echeng and find Xue Tao.
Qu Wu stood on the bow of the boat and looked at Echeng, and saw this quiet and slightly dilapidated small city, and his heart had an indescribable feeling.
After a while, Tong Bo found Wang Hua, the helmsman of the Echeng Qingyun Gang.
Wang Hua is very familiar with the situation in Echeng, after all, this is only a small city of tens of thousands of people, he introduced to Qu Wu the situation of several diagnosis and treatment shops and pharmacies in the city, but he did not know Xue Tao, and he did not know which shop was the owner.
Qu Wu decided to start with the diagnosis and treatment shop and the pharmacy, and check it out one by one.
The next morning, Qu Wu, Tong Bo, Ren Zhong, and Wang Hua came to the first clinic and asked the boss if he knew Xue Tao, and the boss said that he basically knew all his peers in Echeng, but there seemed to be no boss surnamed Xue.
Qu Wu asked the boss again if he had any peers who had moved from Yingdu to Echeng seven or eight years ago, and the boss thought about it, but he really couldn't remember it.
Qu Wu had no choice but to get up and take his leave.
Qu Wu, Ren Zhong and Wang Hua had to look for them in a medical and pharmacy shop, although Ren Zhong knew Xue Tao before, but after all, seven or eight years have passed, and he is not sure whether he still knows him now.
I found the third one, and asked the boss if he had come from other places seven or eight years ago to open a pharmacy or a diagnosis and treatment shop, and the boss said that there seemed to be, but he was not surnamed Xue but surnamed Ye, and the store was opened in the south of the city, and the store was called Shunkang Pharmacy, and the boss sat in the pharmacy almost every day.
After thanking him, Qu Wu and his entourage walked to the south of the city and successfully found the pharmacy.
Qu Wu was worried that the large number of people would make Xue Tao have a sense of prevention, so he asked Ren Zhong and the two of them to wait outside and walked into the door of the pharmacy alone.
In addition to the three young guys behind the counter, there was also a middle-aged man in his forties, Qu Wu walked over and said to the man: "Boss Ye is auspicious, can you take a step to speak."
The boss thought that the guest had a hidden illness to inquire, so he raised his hand and invited Qu Wu to a consultation room in the pharmacy.
After sitting down, Boss Ye asked, "The guest officer is a foreigner, right?" I don't know what the hidden disease is? ”
"Boss Ye has good eyesight, and he is from Wu State. But today I don't ask about the disease, but I ask you about one thing. ”
"Oh, what's the matter?"
"Does Boss Ye know Xue Tao and Doctor Xue?"
Boss Ye was stunned for a moment, thought about it and asked, "What is Mr. Qu looking for Xue Tao?"
"Boss Ye, Dr. Xue left Yingdu a few years ago for some reason to avoid trouble, but according to the investigation, this disaster is actually specially designed, and the purpose is to drive him out of Yingdu."
"It's all in the past. Dr. Xue probably forgot about this, it doesn't matter how, no, or what. ”
"Doctor Ye, in fact, in addition to the disaster that drove him away, Doctor Xue also carried a big black cauldron, which damaged his reputation a lot, but he had left Yingdu without knowing it." Qu Wu said.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. ”
"Doctor Ye, Dr. Xue Tao had cured the infertility of Shao Sikong Sangzhi's two concubines more than a year before he left Yingdu, do you know about this?"
"I know that. In fact, the two concubines did not have any physical problems, but they were too nervous because they wanted to get pregnant, and the prescription was just to soothe their emotions. Boss Ye said.
"But after Xue Tao left Yingdu, someone told Sang Zhi that Dr. Xue had seduced the two ladies and made them pregnant."
"Huh? And what's going on? This is a false accusation. Boss Ye was taken aback.
"That's true, the framed person has already testified, in addition to Dr. Xue being framed, the two wives of Lord Sang have been wronged even more, and they were even swept out of the house by Sang Zhi, and their children have also been wronged, and they can't recognize each other."
"Mr. Qu, were you commissioned by the two ladies to find Xue Tao?"
"Yes. Getting rid of this grievance is too important for Xue Tao, isn't it? Qu Wu looked into Boss Ye's eyes and asked.
"Well, but what kind of danger is hidden in this, I guess Xue Tao will also care. Because Master Sang is a high-ranking official, and Xue Tao is just a cloth cloth. ”
"Doctor Ye, Doctor Xue originally treated Sang Zhi's three concubines, but only two of them were cured, and it was the concubine who was not cured who framed Doctor Xue and the two ladies." Qu Wu said.
"Jealous like this, no wonder her infertility can't be cured."
"Now that this woman is dead, she repented before she died, wanted to atone for her crimes, and wrote her testimony, so the grievances between Xue Tao and the two ladies can be resolved."
"Mr. Qu Wu, can you show me this testimony?" Boss Ye said.
"Of course." Qu Wu said and took out the testimony of Mrs. Yang that he had brought with him, and this testimony did not mention the name of Lord Fan Shan, so Qu Wu felt that the pressure on Xue Tao should not be very great.
Boss Ye carefully read the testimony and handed it back to Qu Wu. From the testimony, he basically understood the process of Mrs. Yang being instructed to frame the two ladies.
"Mr. Qu, Mrs. Yang said that she was instructed by someone, I want to know who instructed her? Where is it now? ”
"The person behind her is the opponent of Shao Sikong Sangzhi, and they are not targeting Doctor Xue." Qu Wu said.
"Mr. Qu, what do you need Dr. Xue to do? Also write a testimony to exonerate yourself? ”
"There is no point in writing a testimony, because there is no way to distinguish the truth from the false, and Dr. Xue must personally go to Yingdu to meet Lord Sang and the two ladies in person, and explain the facts face to face."
When Boss Ye heard that he was going to Yingdu in person, he hesitated a little, and Qu Wu knew that he was worried about his safety.
"Boss Ye, I know you're worried about safety, if I let you see someone, you'll be relieved." Qu Wu said as he got up and came to the outside of the store and invited Ren Zhong in.
"Doctor Xue Tao, don't come unharmed." After Ren Zhong came in, he arched his hand and said to Boss Ye.
