Chapter 147: The Evil Doctor
Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu sat close to each other,
The two of them have been passing books every day these days, and the feelings between the two parties do not need to be expressed. However, this was the first time she had seen Yan Xiuyu in person in a few months.
For some reason, she couldn't help but want to see Yan Xiuyu, but she was afraid that others would see the clues. For a while, it was like a man's back, and his whole body was uncomfortably tight.
She simply stood up and said to Le Hou, "Grandfather, I'll go and see how the adults are searching." β
Le Hou smiled and beckoned, "You go." β
Yan Xiuyu looked at her back, talked with Le Hou for a while, and said that he wanted to learn how to find things from those catchers, and also entered the house.
Yan Qingge was hiding in one of the Hai family's bedrooms.
I don't know which master of the Hai family belongs to this bedroom, and there are a lot of women's supplies in it, judging from the forehead wiping on the dresser, the owner of this house is not young.
The hunters had searched the room, and they had messed up the contents of the house, but they had found no trace of the book.
When Yan Xiuyu came in, he didn't pay attention and kicked a small wooden box thrown by the arresters on the ground at the door and flew away.
Yan Qingge was taken aback by him, turned around and saw that it was him, and said angrily: "What are you doing?" β
The box happened to be kicked at Yan Qingge's feet, and the contents were scattered all over the ground, but it was a box of bills and letters.
Yan Xiuyu squatted at Yan Qingge's feet, and while picking up the letters one by one, he said, "I'm here to find you, I haven't seen you for a few days." β
After not seeing each other for a few months, Yan Xiuyu's voice changed.
When I saw him last time, he had a duck voice, but now his voice is low and steady, and he can't hear any traces of the duck voice, but it is magnetic, and every syllable he spits out, it is like a feather plucking Yan Qingge's heart.
Yan Qingge's face turned red, and he said, "You follow me like this, carefully my grandfather can see it." β
"What are you afraid of! Show it to him, and I will go to your house to propose marriage in the open. "Yan Xiuyu is a serious way.
Yan Qingge slapped him on the shoulder: "Don't talk nonsense. β
"Doesn't Sister Qingge look down on me?" Yan Xiuyu's black eyes stared at Yan Qingge and asked softly.
Yan Qingge bit his lower lip and turned his head away, not looking at Yan Xiuyu.
Yan Xiuyu chuckled and said, "Anyway, whether you look down on me or not, when Master comes back from Qingzhou, I will go to your house to propose marriage." β
"Say no more." Yan Qingge gave Yan Xiuyu a slap in annoyance.
Yan Xiuyu laughed, put the letter he picked up in his hand on the dresser next to Yan Qingge, and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say it." How have you been doing at home lately? Do you like everything I send? β
"I like it." Yan Qingge nodded: "But I've been doing embroidery work recently, and I don't have much effort to play, so it's cheaper for the little girls at home." β
"It's good to stammer! In short, if you marry into my family, they will also come with you, you just have to tell them that it was sent by your future uncle. β
Yan Qingge was so embarrassed, stood up, and said, "If you are so flamboyant, I will go out!" β
Yan Xiuyu turned around and said, "Are you here today to find the books in the Yan family's library?" β
"Well, today my grandfather came to the house and asked my father to delete the names of those concubines on the family tree, and by the way, I tried the aunts in the family and made them tight. When we found out that the stolen books hadn't been sold out, we found them. β
Yan Qingge was bored, his eyes glanced at the letter on the dresser, and suddenly said curiously: "Hey, look at the time on this envelope, it was more than 20 years ago, and it is appropriate for the Hai family to keep things." β
Yan Xiuyu also followed the curious probe to take a look, although he had read a few sage books, but he didn't have any concept of disrespect, he took a letter and opened it, looked at it twice, and said, "Sure enough, it's a letter from decades ago." It's two imperial doctors who are dialectical prescriptions, and it's not interesting. After saying that, he threw it aside. β
Yan Qingge looked at the name of the person who wrote the letter, and saw that Ouyang Huaiyuan was written on it, and said curiously: "The name of the person who treated you is Ouyang Shaoming, and the name of this letter writer is Ouyang Huaiyuan, this Ouyang Huaiyuan, will it be Ouyang Shaoming's father." β
"This is really possible, after all, the surname Ouyang is not common, and it is unlikely that the Hai family will make friends with two imperial doctors surnamed Ouyang at the same time." Yan Xiuyu listened to Yan Qingge's words, but he was interested, and opened those letters one by one to read.
"Look at all this, it's just a prescription." Yan Qingge was puzzled and asked.
"Just take a look, Ouyang Shaoming is not a good person, I want to see if his father is not a good person either."
After a short time, Yan Xiuyu finished reading those letters and said, "It's all prescriptions, and I can't see anything." β
Yan Qingge picked up the wooden box on the ground, put those letters into it again, and said: "You, you, if the bad people are all bad people, and the good people are good people, as long as the bad people are killed, the world will be peaceful a long time ago." β
As she spoke, she pushed the lid of the wooden box, wanting to close the wooden box, but with a crisp sound of "pop", the lid flew out, and Yan Xiuyu's kick actually kicked the chute of the lid broken.
Yan Xiuyu and Yan Qingge looked at the box, and their eyes showed surpriseβwhat flew out was only a layer on the lid of the box, which was double-layered, and there was another Qiankun, and the half that was left behind was covered with a thin layer of brocade, and something was wrapped in the middle.
Yan Xiuyu carefully tore the brocade open, revealing a thin piece of yellowed letterhead.
Only a few hundred words were written on the paper, and after reading it, Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu's faces showed shock.
On this letter, there is a note from someone who gave Hai Liugui, stating that he had followed Hai Liugui's instructions and laid ** in the well of Ouyang's house, and lit a fire that night, burning all Ouyang's family to death, presumably Hai Liugui had heard about it in the capital. It's just that the little young master of the Ouyang family was taken back to Zhuangzi by the nurse that day, so he escaped the catastrophe. But the young master of the Ouyang family is one year old and doesn't know anything, please don't worry about Hai Liugui. He hoped that Hai Liugui would pay him the other half of the promised as soon as possible.
"Shall we tell Ouyang Shaoming about this?" Yan Qingge put away the note and said to Yan Xiuyu hesitantly.
Ouyang Shaoming's whole family was killed by the Hai family, and he was adopted by the Hai family and recognized the thief as his father, this kind of thing made Yan Qingge shudder.
But she and Ouyang Shaoming were not familiar with each other, and she still had to ask Yan Xiuyu about this matter before she could make a decision.
Yan Xiuyu shook his head firmly and said, "Don't tell him!" β
"Why?"
"Ouyang Shaoming, this person is very cruel and weird. Do you know why he was kicked out of my house? β
Yan Qingge shook his head.
Yan Xiuyu said: "My brother has checked Ouyang Shaoming's background before, and I heard that he has made a few friends in order to study medical skills, but whenever the yamen receives the corpse of the murder, he will ask those servants to open the door and cut the corpse into pieces and bloody. When he came to my house, he sent out several death row inmates in the name of my brother and wanted to dissect them alive in order to see how the internal organs of the people worked. Fortunately, my brother learned about this incident, and those people were able to be rescued, and they did not fall into the fate of being disemboweled. β
Yan Qingge was taken aback and said, "Why is he so cruel? β
"It's still a trivial matter, and he once tricked some innocent people in the market into helping him test the medicine. Those medicines were a bit overbearing, and he could only wait for death after taking them, while he watched quietly from the sidelines, recording the reactions of the people who took the medicines. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of what he's done. You say, if such a person knew that he had such a miserable background, would he become even worse and do even more terrible things? β
Yan Qingge was gloomy and said, "Since he has done so many bad things, why don't you arrest him?" β
"Of course we want to arrest him, but he relies on his superb medical skills, and he goes to King Jing's mansion, with King Jing as his guarantor, who dares to touch him."
"Then let him get away with it? He is a doctor, a doctor's parents, and he should have taken it as his responsibility to save human life, so why would he do such a thing that disregards human life. If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have believed that there was such a thing in the world. β
Seeing that Yan Qingge was in a bad mood, Yan Xiuyu said: "It's okay, there are always a lot of strange people in the world, and you can't see them all." I put this letter away, saying that it will not be useful in the future. β
The two sat in silence for a while, and a call came from outside: "Found the book." β
Yan Qingge and Yan Xiuyu hurriedly walked out.
I saw several catchers walking out with several large wooden boxes. In order to protect against moisture, these wooden boxes were covered with iron sheets, and their lids were opened, and they were full of books.
Yan Qingge rushed over, turned to the last look of the book, and saw that the last page had not been cut off, and the private seal of the Yan family's collection of books was impressive.
Yan Qingge said: "It's my Yan family's book!" β
"Where did you find this book?" Le Hou asked.
"Lord Hui, it was found from the secret room in the mezzanine of the wall of that room, there are seven boxes in total."
The catchers counted nearly 3,000 of these books, which was a quarter of the books in the stolen Yan family's library.
Although these books were left because they were relatively out of the way and difficult to sell, they were already a very big surprise for the Yan family.
Yan Songnian, who should have been the happiest, stood outside the crowd, looking out of the way, unable to understand why others were so surprised. He didn't read those books anyway, so he might as well exchange them for money to make him happy.
The Hai family and Aunt Hai committed the crime of theft together, and the stolen goods were seized on the spot, and this crime cannot be escaped. Le Hou turned around and looked at his bewildered son-in-law, and said, "Song Nian, the people from the Criminal Department happen to be here, what do you say about this matter?" β
Yan Songnian hesitated again and again, and said: "The Hai family is Shuyu's maternal grandfather's family, she is about to enter the palace, if the Hai family is sent to the official, she will definitely offend the prince." What's more, the mastermind is Aunt Hai, she is already crazy and can't be investigated. As...... It's better to ask the Hai family to return the money from the sale of books to the Yan family, and forget about this matter. β
Seeing that Yan Songnian was only greedy for money and had no shame, Le Hou was angry and shook his head and said, "Okay! Good! Good! Since you are willing to do this, the old man has nothing to say. β
He had already called his old partner to support the Yan family, but Yan Songnian still only saw the little profit under his nose. Whether the Hai family sends it to the official or not, the Yan family's money has to be spit out.
This Yan Songnian is really hopeless! Le Hou couldn't help but regret it, he was willing to go down to that family business because he saw that Yan Songnian's mother was very good.
After a woman gets married, if her mother-in-law treats her well, her life in her mother-in-law's house will be better, but who expected that Yan Songnian's mother died not long after, leaving only Yan Songnian, a fool, in charge of the house.
Fortunately, Yan Qingge is like her mother Le Rou, not like her stupid father, otherwise his heart knot would be even more difficult to untie.
