The husband and wife sit at a table near the river in the city, where they can enjoy eating while watching the scenery of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Weeping willows are also planted on the side of the river in Jianye City, and some of the willows are dragged straight to the water, and the clear river water reflects the blue sky, white clouds and green willows, fluctuating into a full green.

The buildings here are all gray tiles and white walls, and when the rainy season comes, rows of rain curtains are hung on the eaves, and although you can hear the sound of rain falling, the whole town is still very quiet.

In those rainy seasons, these merchants will also take a short break, and only the fixed shops that are open in stores will still be open, that is, people will go out to buy things, and they will also choose to go to those warm shops.

On the other side, you can see a fairly spacious courtyard, without a courtyard gate, only a stone bridge connected to this side, surrounded by a half-human high stone fence, and near the pier on both sides of a tall fence, with a roof built inward, straight up to the row of red columns, forming a portico.

There is a two-story building on one side of the courtyard, the owner is a person called Li Shanren by the people of Jianye City, it is said that his family is very wealthy, but he never puts a rich man on the shelf, if the neighborhood encounters any difficulties, he will do his best to help, and over time, he has become a great benevolent person in the eyes of the people.

At the bridge of the courtyard stood a smiling young man, who was the housekeeper of Li Shanren's family, honest and duty, Li Shanren also trusted him very much, and now, compared to his two sons who were not angry, Li Shanren was closer to this housekeeper.

"That's Steward Li, now it seems that he should be doing things in a down-to-earth manner."

"Yes, he was originally an honest person, and he did something wrong only because of a moment of gambling, and he himself said that Li Shanren was kind to him, even now that he has the heart to change, Li Shanren is not to blame in the past, and the government will naturally not embarrass him."

"I think so."

Li Shanren once had a sandalwood box, which itself was a valuable thing, containing some jade, all of which were of excellent quality, and each one could be sold for a good price.

At that time, the housekeeper owed some gambling debts and could not repay them, so he started the idea of Li Shanren's box of jade, so one day while Li Shanren went out to seek medical treatment, he secretly took the sandalwood box that Li Shanren put under the bedside table, and exchanged part of it for silver to pay off the gambling debts.

Li Shanren returned from going out to find that the jade had been stolen, and asked all the family members but found nothing, so he had no choice but to report the matter to the government.

After that, Zhao Zhutou handed over a wooden token to the little knights who intended to work for the Jianye Yamen, and asked them to go to Li Shan's house to find out the truth.

After some investigation, the little knights found that Steward Li was a little suspicious, and at the same time found that Li Shanren's symptoms of poor energy during that time were also related to the decoction that Steward Li made for him, and finally found conclusive evidence, arrested him, and handed him over to Zhao Zhutou for disposal.

"The two young heroes haven't been to Jianye for some years, and they came here today, but they visited my master?"

From a distance, I saw the husband and wife walking towards this side, and Steward Li greeted him very warmly.

"Exactly, please let the housekeeper know."

"Okay, you two wait."

As soon as the words fell, Steward Li trotted all the way into the two-story building, and soon turned back again.

"My master is discussing with others in the study, if you two are not in a hurry to leave, you can follow me to the side hall for a while and have a cup of tea."

"It's fine."

It is said to be a side hall, but it is actually a part of the main hall, but it is divided into two sections by a screen, and the side where several people are located at this time is slightly narrower.

"Seeing that Mr. Butler is so high-spirited now, I think he is doing his best to take care of the affairs of the house for Li Shanren every day, and he has never gambled again, right?"

"Exactly, I'm ashamed to say that I don't know what was lost to my mind at that time, but I was addicted to that thing, and I did something wrong because of it. My master has been kind to me, and now he is forgiving, and I am not guilty of the past, so I should naturally do my best. ”

"It is not easy for Mr. Butler to wake up at the right time, and now he can withstand the temptation, and this kind of ambition is indeed admirable."

"Childe has won the award, if it weren't for the help of the master and all the little knights, I'm afraid I wouldn't be like this now."

Steward Li smiled, poured a cup of tea for each husband and wife, and prepared to go to the kitchen to get some newly made snacks.

"Don't bother, just drink some tea, we just came here after eating something at Daddy Liu's, and now we can't eat."

"That being the case, please use it slowly, I'll go down first and be busy, and call me anytime if you have something."

"Thank you, butler."

Steward Li saluted the two and left, listening to what he said, it seemed that he was going to the pharmacy in the south of the city to get medicine for Li Shanren.

"Speaking of which, when the housekeeper stole the sandalwood box, it was also the little knights who noticed Li Shanren's abnormality, at that time he had been ill for a long time, and he was not getting better by taking medicine every day, and his spirit was getting worse and worse, if he hadn't found it in time, he was afraid that it would be difficult to save his life, and I don't know what happened now."

"If you take care of it, you should be almost recovered."

At that time, Li Shanren's physical condition was a little bad, and Steward Li found out from nowhere that there was a recipe from the witch doctor, saying that it was effective for Li Shanren's illness, so Steward Li found the super witch doctor in the city and asked him to mix some and make soup for Li Shanren every day.

But after taking that prescription for a while, Li Shanren's condition has not improved, but it has not been significantly worsened, and they have never realized that there is a problem with the decoction.

It wasn't until the theft case occurred later that the little knights learned about the prescription from the witch doctor, and the little knights who practiced medicine checked Li Shanren's pulse and discovered that something was wrong.

In fact, it can be regarded as Steward Li's unintentional mistake, the prescription itself is no problem, but it cannot be contained in silver utensils, otherwise a small amount of toxin will be produced, and it will be poisoned if taken for a long time.

The symptoms of mental malaise that Li Shanren had at that time were because the decoction was contained in a silver bowl, so the toxin gradually appeared, and it was caused by Li Shanren's ingestion.

Steward Li came back soon after taking the medicine, Xiao Zhen took a cursory look at the prescriptions, they are all nourishing and conditioning herbs, the dosage is not very large, it seems that Li Shanren has been recuperating well over the years.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

Hearing this, the husband and wife turned their heads, and Li Shanren walked in quickly, with a gentle smile on his face, looking good.

"It's okay, we've just been there for a while."

"Seeing that your mental state is much better, I guess the old illness is no longer a big problem, right?"

"Thank you for the girl's concern, it's fine, the doctor said that I recovered very quickly, and I will not be able to take medicine in a few days."

"That's good."
