Chapter 523: Steward
"You have suffered." The fourth year of junior high school said.
"It's indispensable to come out and practice." Gao Jingchuan was faint.
"The emperor asked me to ask you, when will you return to the capital?" The fourth path of the first month.
"Wait until the matter of Qiu Cheng is over." Gao Jingchuan replied, "Shu Lun and I will take a look at Luojing." ”
"Hmm." The fourth junior high school said, "Everyone misses you a lot." ”
Gao Jingchuan bowed slightly, and said rarely: "I miss Luo Jing too...... with everyone. ”
When the fourth junior high school heard this, he was surprised and looked at Gao Jingchuan.
You must know that Gao Shaoqing has always been taciturn and doesn't express his emotions much. Gao Jingchuan's words just now seemed to come out of Xiao Shulun's mouth.
Chu Si smiled slightly.
"That's right." He asked, "Did the third prince have to ask that old man Zou to hand over the prescription?" ”
Gao Jingchuan was firm and nodded: "Believe Shulun." ”
When the fourth junior high school heard this, he also nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

At this time, Xiao Shulun was at the Zou family, and he handed a black pill to the Zou steward in front of him.
Steward Zou had suspicion in his eyes and said, "Lord Xiao, I remember that the antidote is not like this......"
Xiao Shulun said: "This is not an antidote. ”
"What's that?"
"Fake Death Pills."
"What, what?"
Xiao Shulun calmed down: "Fake death medicine." ”
Steward Zou swallowed his saliva: "Lord Xiao, what I need is an antidote." ”
"It's not over yet." Xiao Shulun said, "Your poison can't be solved yet." ”
"Then what is this fake death pill going to do?" Steward Zou asked with a bitter face.
Xiao Shulun said: "You take it first, and I'll tell you what to do." ”
Steward Zou had no choice but to take the fake death pill.
Xiao Shulun said: "I have been approaching your master before, and I have taken the formula out of his mouth. ”
Hearing this, Steward Zou let out a long sigh and said, "Lord Xiao, you also know, the master is hiding now." ”
Xiao Shulun nodded, indicating that I know.
"So, what am I going to do?" Master Zou looked embarrassed, "Master Xiao, can't you arrest the old man and extort a confession from words and deeds?" Wouldn't it be easier that way? ”
"Your master, don't you understand?" Xiao Shulun sneered, "Jingchuan killed Zou Susu, he can't wait for Jingchuan to die immediately, if he is forced to do it, he will burn all the jade, I can't do it." ”
Gao Jingchuan's life is at stake, and it must be foolproof.
"And what exactly do you want me to do?" Steward Zou sighed.
"You just took the fake death pill...... Xiao Shulun said, "I'll tell you what to do." ”
He approached Steward Zou and whispered a few words.
Steward Zou listened and swallowed: "Is it feasible?" ”
"Feasible." Xiao Shulun said.
"But ......" Steward Zou still took care of it, "the master is hiding now, I take the initiative to find him, will I be suspected?" ”
"You don't have to worry about this, I will find a way to force Master Zou out, and when the time comes, you just have to do what I say."
When Steward Zou heard this, he couldn't say anything, so he could only admit it.
…………
…………
Steward Zou didn't wait long, and at dusk, Xiao Shulun led a child to his study.
"This is ......," Steward Zou looked at Yin Wuxian.
"After Master Zou came out, he acted according to the original plan." Xiao Shulun said.
"How do you get the master to come out," Steward Zou asked.
Xiao Shulun turned his head to look at Yin Wuxian.
Steward Zou couldn't help but look over: "This kid? ”
"Yes."
"How?"
Steward Zou was confused.
Xiao Shulun smiled and said to Steward Zou, "Now let's go to the study." ”
…………
…………
Xiao Shulun came to the study with Yin Wuxian and Steward Zou.
The third prince looked at Steward Zou: "You find a rag or something, and pretend that you are cleaning the study." ”
"What?"
"Do as I say." Xiao Shulun said.
Steward Zou was puzzled, but still found a rag.
Xiao Shulun said again: "After a while, remember to find something to hold onto." ”
"What, what?"
Steward Zou confused Xiao Shulun.
Xiao Shulun looked at Yin Wuxian: "Let's go." ”
"Hmm." Yin Wuxian nodded, and followed Xiao Shulun out of the study.
"You ......," Steward Zou wanted to catch up.
Xiao Shulun said: "Wait here." ”
Steward Zou had no choice but to stop, he could only look at the two of them from the window, only to see Xiao Shulun and the child walking out of the study.
Then the kid crouched down.
"Started?" Xiao Shulun also squatted down.
"No problem." Yin Wuxian spoke, abandoning his gaze.
Steward Zou in the house was puzzled, what were these two people going to do, and at this moment, there was a sudden vibration under his feet, which was very light at first! It then became more and more serious.
Earthquake!
Steward Zou was shocked, and he couldn't help but say that he wanted to rush out.
As soon as the person rushed to the door, he saw Xiao Shulun looking back at him, and then shook his head.
Steward Zou only noticed at this time that the child was exercising, his hands were close to the ground, and he used internal force, making the earth tremble.
"This ...... This ......"
"It's coming up." Yin Wuxian looked at Xiao Shulun.
"Let's go." Xiao Shulun stood up, glanced back at Steward Zou, and then disappeared with Yin Wuxian in the blink of an eye.
"Squeak......" I only heard a noise from the study, and then Master Zou ran out of it, because he was too anxious, his movements were embarrassed, and he was disgraced.
"Old, sir?" Steward Zou stood at the door, looking at Master Zou, with a surprised expression.
"Earthquake?" Master Zou said.
"Yes, yes," said Steward Zou...... "Master, so you are hiding here?" ”
Master Zou patted the dirt on his body: "Hey......"
Steward Zou hurriedly walked to Master Zou's side: "Master, you have suffered. ”
"Let's not talk about that." Master Zou said, "Did Xiao Shulun come to the house to look for me?" ”
Steward Zou said: "I've been here, but I haven't found anyone, and I've already left." ”
"That's good......" Master Zou breathed a sigh of relief.
Steward Zou said, "Master, do you want to go out for a walk with me?" ”
Master Zou is hiding underground, and he is also very bored and aggrieved.
"Let's go." As he spoke, he walked into the courtyard, the sun was just right, and Master Zou took a hard breath, as if a dry-mouthed desert traveler had discovered an oasis.
"Master...... Zou Guan sighed, "It's really hard for you." ”
Master Zou said: "As long as I can live......"
As he spoke, he looked at Steward Zou: "How is the poison on your body?"
Steward Zou smiled bitterly: "Time is running out." ”
When Master Zou heard this, he pursed his lips and didn't speak.
Steward Zou didn't speak, just sighed.
Master Zou said: "I've been outside long enough, I'll go back." ”
"Huh?" Steward Zou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Master, in case there are aftershocks......
Master Zou paused: "Won't it?" ”
"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if." Steward Zou said, "Master, if you are worried, why don't you hide in my house?" ”
"In your house?"
"Hmm." Steward Zou said, "Last time Xiao Shulun came to find someone, he turned over my house, and now my house is quite safe." ”
Master Zou asked Wenyan, and he was still a little hesitant.
At this time, Xiao Shulun, who was hiding not far away, shook his chin and pointed to the ground.
Yin didn't feel hurt, he jumped down from the tree, his hands on the ground.
The internal force poured in, and the ground trembled again.
Old Man Zou stumbled slightly. Steward Zou even supported him: "Master, I see, let's go to my room, I sent the others in the yard away." ”
"Okay." Master Zou nodded.
…………
…………
Master Zou lived in the housekeeper's room.
Time passed, the sun set, the morning sun rose, and then it changed and set, and in the blink of an eye, the day passed.
It was dusk again, and Steward Zou returned to his room and brought food to Master Zou.
"What's wrong," Mr. Zou asked while eating.
"What, how?"
"Xiao Shulun is still looking for me?"
Zou Guan nodded: "I asked my subordinates to inquire, it's difficult to get out of the city now." ”
Master Zou frowned: "What about Gao Jingchuan?" ”
"Gao Jingchuan?"
"Is he still alive?"
Steward Zou said, "This ...... I don't know, but I haven't heard that the government is doing white things, so I think I'm still alive,"
"What exactly did he eat? I'm still alive......" Old Man Zou frowned.
Steward Zou hesitated for a moment and said, "Master...... Have you ever wondered if there is another possibility? ”
"What is possible?"
"If you take the initiative to hand over the antidote, Gao Jingchuan will be saved...... Xiao Shulun may not pursue you. ”
"Impossible!" Master Zou shook his head, "Even if I hand over the secret recipe, without snow lotus seeds, Gao Jingchuan won't be able to survive at all!" When the time comes, Xiao Shulun will not let me go! And also...... They killed Susu, and I'm going to make them pay the price. ”
Hearing this, Steward Zou swallowed his saliva: "Snow lotus seeds...... Perhaps, Xiao Shulun can find it? ”
"The sixth master can't be found!"
"How can the sixth master be compared to Prince Shen?" Steward Zou said, "Gao Jingchuan is the prince of Shen, and Xiao Shulun is the third son of the General's Mansion...... According to the status of the two of them, they may be able to find ......"
Master Zou still shook his head: "I can't just be so cheap as the murderer of my daughter!" ”
"Then are you going to hide for the rest of your life?" Steward Zou said.
Master Zou said: "How can I hide for the rest of my life? When Gao Jingchuan died and Xiao Shulun left Qiu City, I would look for an opportunity to make a comeback. ”
When Steward Zou heard this, he couldn't say a word.
Master Zou looked at the silent butler.
"Your Poison ......"
"It's fine." Steward Zou smiled, and he couldn't wait to stab Master Zou into a sieve.
In Master Zou's vision of the future just now, there was no Steward Zou at all, in other words, Mr. Zou didn't care about Steward Zou's life or death at all.
Steward Zou endured his anger, looked kind, and said, "Master, you have to take care of yourself in the future, and I can't accompany you." ”
Old Man Zou looked at such a housekeeper Zou, and he still felt a little guilty in his heart:
"Don't worry." Master Zou said, "What you did for the Zou family and what you did for me, I remember." ”
Steward Zou laughed dryly: "My life belongs to the Zou family, and it is also the master's, this is what I should do." ”
As he spoke, Steward Zou grabbed his chest, his face pale.
"What, what's wrong?" Master Zou was shocked.
"Poison, poison is ......," Steward Zou said, grabbing Master Zou's sleeve.
"Sir...... Before I die...... I only have one last request. ”
"You say! You said! "Master Zou's guilt has reached its peak, and whatever Steward Zou says at this time, he will agree.
"After I die, burn me the recipe for the poison......"
"What, what?"
Blood overflowed from the corner of Steward Zou's mouth, and he gasped three times in a word, and said intermittently: "I know...... The recipe for poison is the most precious thing of the Zou family...... I want this kind of thing too...... In the next life, in the next life, I will also live like this to my lord......"
As he spoke, he lost his breath in Master Zou's arms.
Master Zou hugged Steward Zou and touched his pulse and breathing......
Nothing.
"Dead, dead?" Old Man Zou muttered.
Steward Zou did not respond.
Master Zou put the person on the ground: "I remember what you did to the Zou family, Fangzi, I will burn it to you......"
After speaking, Master Zou buried his head and walked out of the courtyard of Steward Zou.
…………
…………
After Master Zou left, Steward Zou's body was soon discovered.
The Zou family doesn't know if they have recruited evil, and one after another has died, like the wife of the family, then the daughter, and now the housekeeper.
Master Zou hid in the study.
Listen to the movements of the Zou family.
When it was determined that people were going to hold a funeral for Steward Zou, he walked to the table and took out a pen and paper.
The brush was dipped in ink, and Master Zou slowly wrote down the prescription.
"You're right, this is the most precious thing of the Zou family......" Master Zou muttered to himself, "I relied on this back then, eradicating one opponent after another, and then I had the Zou family's ......"
After the last pen was written, Mr. Zou picked up the paper and blew it.
"I'll burn it to you." As he spoke, he raised his hand to get the fire fold.
At that moment, a figure suddenly jumped in through the window.
Master Zou's first reaction was to clench the recipe in his hand.
At this moment, the figure that came in had already rushed in front of him.
"You...... You ......" Master Zou's eyes widened.
The person who came was Xiao Shulun, Xiao Shulun had already clicked on Master Zou's acupoint, and then in his frightened and desperate eyes, he took away the prescription in his hand.
Master Zou could only watch, his eyes were scarlet, but there was nothing he could do.
"Got it? Isn't it there!? At this moment, Steward Zou hurriedly walked in.
When Master Zou saw the living Steward Zou in front of him, a pair of eyes almost fell out.
"You're not! You're not ......."
Steward Zou didn't pay attention to the stunned Master Zou at all, he walked quickly to Xiao Shulun, and stretched out his hand eagerly: "You said that if you get the antidote, you will give me the antidote, and now that the prescription is in hand, are you going to give me the antidote?" ”
"Whoa." Xiao Shulun took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, "The last antidote." ”
Steward Zou caught it and hurriedly unscrewed it.
"What's going on!" Master Zou on the side shouted, he was now being pointed at the acupoint, and his body couldn't move, otherwise, he would have grabbed Steward Zou's neck now.
