Chapter 558
There are people coming and going outside the inn, the hustle and bustle is constant, and there are voices of running guys greeting guests from time to time in the inn, and the wooden planks of the corridor are trampled on creakingly.
Everything is so noisy.
In the room, you can smell the needle.
Jiang Sihai and Zhou Chaoyang sat at the wooden table indoors and waited quietly, while Mo Tao stood in front of the bed, looking nervous, his hands clenched together, holding his breath and looking at the woman sitting on the low table next to the bed to check the pulse of the second uncle.
Even if the other party was just a side face, it made Mo Tao's heart thump and pound.
Perhaps, he was too nervous about his second uncle's condition.
Seeing that Xiao Ming finished diagnosing his pulse, Mo Tao couldn't wait to speak: "Miss Xiao, how is my second uncle's illness?" The second uncle had just fallen asleep, his eyes were closed, and the second uncle did not show any signs of waking up when they entered the house, he was really afraid that the second uncle would sleep like this.
He was even more afraid of hearing any words from Xiao Ming's mouth that scared him.
"The condition is not even critical, it is just a small disease of wind and cold, only because of anger and spleen and stomach imbalance, resulting in the body becoming thinner and thinner."
Mo Xingyu's illness is actually not serious, the reason why it can become so serious is nothing more than external forces, what he is worried about is the 130,000 taels of silver, living in worry and accumulation every day, full of anger and gloomy, naturally he has no intention of taking medicine to recuperate.
Over time, it will lead to kidney qi deficiency, liver fire, heart qi knots, yin and yang imbalance, imbalance of the whole body mechanism, and finally death.
"The illness is like a mountain, Master Mo should still enlighten Master Mo more, make him feel comfortable, take medicine on time, and the disease will naturally be cured."
"Really!" Mo Tao shouted in surprise, but it fell down again for a moment, it was 130,000 taels of silver! How can the second uncle's mood get better, the second uncle can't close his eyes all day and night because of this, and he refuses to take the medicine.
A few days ago, they were better, and they still had some money to get medicine for their illnesses, but now, they have ......
"I'll first draw up a recipe for Master Mo to regulate his body, I also understand your current difficulties, please rest assured, we are here this time to fully cooperate with Zhou Zhutou and arrest this heinous liar and punish him severely."
Mo Tao nodded movingly, and took out the gold ring as a consultation fee, but was blocked back by Xiao Ming: "It's not too late to pay me for the consultation when I catch the liar." ”
After Xiao Ming prepared the prescription, several people returned to the teahouse, Xiao Ming asked Mo Tao a few questions, she asked even more details than Zhou Chaoyang, Mo Tao also said more, and even said what kind of clothes he was wearing when he saw the liar that day.
"At dusk that day, my second uncle and I got off the boat, and we planned to find an inn to stay, but I saw the two people in the inn, and we didn't know them at that time, just because the two people talked a little loud, and mentioned the Xiao family, the second uncle paid attention......"
Although the second uncle noticed the man, he sat down at the table near them, as if he had not overheard the chatter between the two people. When he heard another person call him Yi Guan Shi, and mentioned the Xiao family in Liujia Village several times, the second uncle suspected that this person might be Yi Feng, the manager of the Xiao family.
Looking back now, Mo Tao only had a hot pain on his face, and the two of them were gossiping in the inn lobby as if no one was around, and they didn't mean to avoid people at all, and now they are afraid that they did it on purpose......
However, at that time, he and his second uncle did not see through this scam.
The 'Yi Guanshi' was dressed extremely richly, dressed in bamboo-green straight embellishments, made of Hangzhou silk, with a jewel belt around his waist, several valuable ornaments, a gold chain the thickness of a little finger around his neck, and several gold rings on his ten fingers, shining with dazzling light.
He only thought it was strange, this kind of dress did not look like the steward of a rich family at all, but more like the master of a rich and noble family.
Even, he thought that the Xiao family behind this Yi Feng steward was a family of outbreaks that had only emerged in recent years, so the family did not have enough background, and the steward who came out was naturally dressed in tacky clothes, eager to wear all the gold and silver, and even spoke rudely.
After the second uncle and this Yi Steward interacted for two days, he inquired about a lot of things without a trace, and he was even more convinced of this Yi Feng Steward.
After getting along with the second uncle for two days, this Yi Feng steward introduced the second uncle as a confidant who had nothing to talk about, and even took out the wine in the Xiao family's specialty fruit wine to entertain the second uncle, and after a drunkenness, he not only told the second uncle that he had suffered from the fire and left an ugly scar on his face, thanks to his master, Miss Xiao, who rejuvenated ......
even told the second uncle that he had newly married a house-filling house in March, and he was a girl from Liu's village, for which the girl also rewarded him with a big house......
even told the second uncle that the business of the Xiao family's seed shop is getting more and more money......
There are even some gossip that the second uncle didn't inquire about......
Based on these, the second uncle became more and more convinced of this 'Yi Feng', and accidentally learned that 'Yi Feng' appeared in Hechun at this time because Miss Xiao arranged for him to transport a batch of fruit wine and canned food to the capital, and he was about to leave at dawn......
Hearing the news, the second uncle felt that he could not lose the opportunity, so he asked 'Yi Steward' to help, and even gave them a lot of gifts, and 'Yi Feng' gave them 10,000 jars of fruit wine and canned food overnight.
The silver and goods were in arrears, and 'Yi Feng' left the ship to go north under the pretext of rushing to transport goods into Beijing.
Before parting, 'Yi Feng' also warmly invited the second uncle to Xiao's house in Liujia Village as a guest, and he will definitely entertain him at that time.
After finishing speaking, Mo Tao only felt that his face was moist, the past was vivid, hovering in their hearts like a nightmare, and thinking about the whole thing afterwards, it was such a coincidence, and it was strange everywhere, but when they were in the bureau, their uncle and nephew had already lost their minds.
They even thought that it was a deliberate scam set up by their opponents in their hometown, but after thinking about it, they felt that it was wrong, after all, the second uncle was accumulating wealth to the north, and no one knew the purpose of their trip.
Now that I think that the person and others set up this game in the inn with the Xiao family as bait, it is not only them who are tempted, if they are not fooled, others will be fooled.
The Xiao family's fruit wine is too tempting.
They were completely the fish that Jiang Taigong fished on.
Still a stupid fish.
Although the second uncle was in a hurry to order the goods, he didn't follow the second uncle complacently.
He even thought in his heart about how much silver this batch of wine and canned food could sell, and afterwards, how much silver the second uncle would give him.
Unfortunately, there is no silver and no rewards.
"What did you do with the wine?" Xiao Ming asked again, 10,000 altars! That's a lot of money.
"Except for the Bailai altar, the rest were destroyed by my second uncle." As soon as Mo Tao said this, several people present were shocked.
It's not all wine and canned food! That's a real amount of money.
