Chapter 12: Doom Comes
The corruption in the medicine hall continued to ferment, but Su Xiaran stayed in her room leisurely, not caring about the development of the situation, it was already okay to rescue Hongyue, and it didn't matter much to her how the others were.
The only thing that makes Su Xiaran feel regretful is that Li Wenshu escaped, this is not a good sign, the matter of letting the tiger return to the mountain is the most terrible, not to mention that Su Xiaran gave Li Wenshu a heavy blow this time, so that she has no possibility of turning over in Su Mansion at all.
But the source of all this is to blame Li Wenshu for her own doing, if she hadn't had the intention of framing the people around Su Xiaran, she wouldn't have been investigated by Su Xiaran and couldn't turn over.
After taking out Hongyue, who had been imprisoned by Su Feng before, Su Xiaran went to take him to buy new satin clothes, and ordered someone to freshen up, and Hongyue returned to her original gentle appearance.
Su Xiaran, who was not worried about Li Wenshu, also sent Achu to the city to look for her, if she found it, she had to bring it back, if she couldn't find it, it would definitely be a big trouble after a long time.
At this time, Uncle Zhang, who was still leisurely in the medicine hall, was caught by the sudden Su Mansion guards and went to Su Mansion, Uncle Zhang was caught off guard by the sudden change, obviously two days ago when he was still happy with Li Wenshu, Li Wenshu told him that everything was going well and he could sit back and relax, why did he suddenly come over to arrest him.
Uncle Zhang, who kept breaking free, argued with the chief of the guard, and said, "What are you doing, shouldn't you arrest Su Xiaran, who gave you the right to do this!" β
The head of the guard ignored Uncle Zhang's roar, and said coldly without emotion: "The master ordered me to wait to arrest you, do you still need a reason, besides, what have you done yourself, haven't you counted it in your heart?" He didn't talk nonsense with him, so he took him to Su Mansion quickly.
But Uncle Zhang still didn't give up, and scolded angrily: "I have been a cow and a horse in the Su family for so many years, how can the master doubt me, I am all for the master, but the master listens to Su Xiaran's little hoof, you let me go, let me go!" β
The more Uncle Zhang struggled, the tighter the guards cried, and the chief of the guard obviously didn't want to have any more verbal disputes with him, but said: "If Uncle Zhang has any grievances, go back to Su Mansion by yourself, see the master, go and tell the master, we are just acting on orders, don't embarrass me."
Unconsciously, although Uncle Zhang made trouble on the road, he was still helplessly taken back to Su Mansion.
was kicked and knelt in the middle of the hall, looking at Su Feng, who was sitting on the main seat and glaring at him, Uncle Zhang lowered his head and trembled, thinking in his heart, did the master already know something, but why didn't he see Li Wenshu in the hall.
Uncle Zhang, who was thinking about it, was interrupted by Su Feng's words, Su Feng was angry at the moment, his concubine failed to commit adultery with the person he trusted, and he absconded privately, which made him a dignified Su Mansion lord. is also because the matter of the medicine hall is that the Su family has lost money and lost people.
Su Feng said mercilessly: "Bold Zhangyu dared to openly frame the owner of the pharmacy without saying anything, and also colluded with Li Wenshu privately to do unseemly things, you can plead guilty!." β
Zhang Yu, who was suppressed by Su Feng's powerful aura, didn't know what to say for a while, and firmly believed that as long as he bit to death and didn't admit guilt, Su Feng wouldn't do anything to him, after all, Li Wenshu was not here now, and he would definitely try to save himself, but he didn't know a word.
Husband and wife are originally birds of the same forest, and they lead the way in flying separately, not to mention that they are not husband and wife. Li Wenshu has long fled now, where does he care about Uncle Zhang's life or death.
That is, Uncle Zhang, a stupid man, is too naΓ―ve. Zhang Yu, who insisted that he was not guilty, retorted; "Master, wronged, it's really not me, I've been in the Su family's pharmacy for many years, and I've been helping the lord take care of the medicine hall, and there has been no incident, I, Zhangyu, am loyal to the Su family! Please be careful. Zhang Yu's words were sincere and affectionate. If Su Xiaran was here at the moment, he would have to be impressed by his acting skills.
Fortunately, Su Xiaran found substantial evidence, otherwise it was difficult to guarantee that Su Feng would listen to Uncle Zhang's slander.
At this moment, Su Feng, who was carried away by anger, still listened to his sophistry, and asked sharply: "Since you said that you are not guilty, then let me ask you, why did the three hundred taels of silver from the medicine hall appear in Li Wenshu's backyard, and you are in cahoots with Li Wenshu, and you still don't admit it!" β
Hearing Su Feng's words, Zhang Yu sat down on the ground, thinking that this matter might be a lack of skills, but thinking that Li Wenshu would come to save him, he tried to delay the time.
But he didn't know that Li Wenshu was now unable to protect himself, how could he come to save him.
Su Feng looked at him with a desperate look on his face and continued: "I have now decided to send you to the official mansion, let the official government sanction you, and send Zhang Yu to the yamen. β
Zhang Yu saw that Su Feng didn't have any affection at all, and said again and again: "Master, you can't do this, I have no credit and hard work for the Su family, this matter is all made by the third lady Li Wenshu, it has nothing to do with me, if you want to arrest her, I Zhang Yu will be confused this time, please forgive me."
Listening to the sound of Chang Yu moving away, Su Feng did not change, and watched the person in front of him being dragged away. With a sigh of relief, I went back to my room to rest.
At the same time, he also gave a bigger order, no matter what, he would arrest Li Wenshu back, and dare to cuckold himself, Su Feng would definitely not let her have a good time. So no matter where she flees, she must be pulled out.
And Su Xiaran, who was still reading in his courtyard at the moment, listened to the report of the girl in the mansion and said that Zhang Yu had been escorted to the yamen. Su Xiaran nodded lightly and said, "Got it, you go down." So he continued to look at his book.
Hongyue saw that her young lady didn't care about their affairs, but she thought of Li Wenshu who had escaped, and it would not be good if she came back to take revenge while the young lady was unprepared. , look at the mouth to remind; "Second Miss, Li Wenshu's matter ....."
Su Xiaran, who was concentrating on reading, heard Hongyue talking to him, so he closed the book, looked up at Hongyue, and said, "I have already gone to ask Achu to find it, don't worry, even if I don't find it, I will never give her a chance to retaliate." β
After receiving Su Xiaran's answer, Hongyue didn't say anything, and turned around to go back to her room.
was suddenly stopped by Su Xiaran. "By the way, Hongyue, the affairs of the medicine hall are still in your charge, but now that Uncle Zhang is gone, you must find a new medicine hall shopkeeper as soon as possible to help you take care of the medicine hall, the medicine hall has also closed these days, you have a good rest, and when I am free in a few days, I will go to the slave market to see if there are any smart and clever people to help you take care of the affairs of the medicine hall."
Seeing that Su Xiaran cared so much about herself, and still believed in herself after this incident, Hongyue's heart warmed and said, "Everything is arranged by the second lady, then Hongyue will go back first." After that, Su Xiaran saluted first and left.
Watching Hongyue leave, Su Xiaran didn't say anything more, and looked at the "Pharmacopoeia" in his hand again.
But he didn't expect that at this time, a person broke into his yard in a hurry.
Su Xiayan heard that his mother-in-law Li Wenshu had an accident, and thought that it must be Su Xiaran's ghost, so he rushed to Su Xiaran to ask for an explanation as soon as possible. Because of her arrival, the silence in Su Xiaran's courtyard was broken.
Su Xiayan said as she walked: "Su Xiaran, you slut, come out for me, is my mother here with you, why did she suddenly disappear." Seeing Su Xiaran sitting in the courtyard and still reading a book leisurely made Su Xiayan even more dissatisfied, why was it not Su Xiaran who had an accident.
ran to Su Xiaran in a hurry and dragged Su Xiaran up. If it weren't for the fact that Su Xiaran didn't want to expose her martial arts skills in front of the Su family, she really wanted to teach this third young lady a lesson who didn't know the height of the sky.
Forcibly suppressing her anger, Su Xiaran said: "What is the third lady doing, I just found out the truth, and I also want to find her, but she may have absconded because she was afraid of crime, and it is useless for you to find me." β
The disdainful tone completely angered Su Xiayan, and Su Xiayan, who was angry, raised his hand and wanted to give Su Xiaran a slap, but was stopped by Su Xiaran, who was quick-eyed.
looked at Su Xiayan, who was so angry that she went crazy, dissatisfied, and said, "Is the third lady annoyed and angry, and she dares to be rough with me, if her father knows it, aren't you afraid that she won't be able to eat and walk around?" There was an irresistible coercion in his tone.
Su Xiayan, who was stunned by Su Xiaran's momentum, was slightly defeated and said, "Why, you coward, it's hard to go to your father to complain."
When Su Xiaran heard her words, she felt very funny, and said, "Su Xiayan, do you think I am you?" But your mother left you behind and ran away on her own, which really made me not expect that for your pitiful sake, I would spare you for offending me this time. If you want to go against me, grow your brains first, okay? He slammed Su Xiayan's wrist and turned away.
may be because Su Xiaran's strength is too great, Su Xiayan screamed in pain; "Ah~ Su Xiaran, you, you!" Su Xiayan pointed at Su Xiaran angrily, she didn't understand why Su Xiaran was so strong.
Su Xiaran has always disliked others pointing at herself, so she turned around and said, "Su Xiayan, believe it or not, I twisted your finger off, I advise you to do it yourself." β
Su Xiayan, who was frightened by Su Xiaran, still obediently put down her fingers, but remembered all the grievances she suffered here in Su Xiaran today in her heart, so that she could take revenge in the future.
Seeing that Su Xiaran didn't want to talk to herself, Su Xiayan left angrily. And Su Xiaran didn't have any special reaction because of Su Xiayan's departure.
After a while, Achu who went out to find Li Wenshu came back, and said with regret: "Second Miss, Achu didn't find Li Wenshu, she seemed to have evaporated from the world, which disappointed Miss." β
Su Xiaran didn't blame her for Ah Chu's words, because Su Xiaran had long expected that it would not be so easy to find, and said to Ah Chu: "It's okay, this kind of thing can't be rushed, since she didn't appear, let's just wait and see what happens, and now the top priority is to improve martial arts." β
Achu agreed, and retreated first.
Su Xiaran, who had been idle at home for a few days, remembered the matter of the medicine hall when he saw that the days were almost over. The medicine hall has been closed for a few days, but Su Feng said that the Su family's industry can't wait.
But the problem is that the Su Family Pharmacy is currently only supported by Hongyue alone, and it is necessary to find an assistant for Hongyue as soon as possible, otherwise not to mention that Hongyue is inexperienced, if there is no one to help, I am afraid that the operation of the pharmacy will be even more difficult.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaran left the Su Mansion and wanted to find a smart and clever person to help Hongyue.
Su Xiaran thought about it, and now he couldn't find anyone temporarily, so he thought about going to the slave market to see if he could find someone he was satisfied with, so he didn't hesitate anymore and walked in the direction of the slave market.
