Chapter 472: Countermeasures
It's a long story, this has to start from the moment you were knocked unconscious...... "Murong Xi said those things from the beginning again, Song Shaohuai and Zhao Ji'an added some other situations, Yuan Jinnian listened quietly, and he also knew the whole story for the first time.
"After the Meiji fire, Du Xuan was rescued by a mysterious person who robbed the prison, mother, did he go back to Dujiagou?" Du Mei leaned on the quilt and listened carefully, grabbed a small detail and looked up and asked.
"I haven't heard your aunt mention it, it stands to reason that your grandfather has passed away, he is the grandson of the eldest house, and he hasn't even seen the last one. Xu shook his head and said.
She doesn't like to gossip, and because of Du Mei's illness, most of the time she is at home, and the Fang family who is on the door is friendly with her, and often comes to help with things, and if there are any special things in the village, most of them will tell her.
"That's it, Ma Rong took Du Zao to live in Baiyun Villa, and I only told Uncle Lin that he was Du Zao's life-saving benefactor, and I didn't tell him his unbearable identity. Before this, he had been honest, why was he restless as soon as Du Xuan was rescued?
The only explanation is that Du Xuan secretly found him, Du Xuan is the person of the King of Shu, I already know that he must be using Du Zao, or lure, or persecution, to ask Ma Rong to steal the smoke in the brine, maybe even Ma Rong himself did not know that the poisoned duck could eat so many people, otherwise, why did he flee in a hurry after the incident broke out? Du Mei said with a twist.
"After the incident, King Yan personally painted his head, but he seemed to have ascended to heaven and earth, not only did the people who patrol the Beijing camp not find him, but even the tantric intelligence network did not capture any of his whereabouts." Murong Xi twisted his eyebrows and said.
"So many people died at once, Ma Rong is not stupid, he wants to hide not only from your pursuit, but also from the extermination of the King of Shu, both of you have a lot of power, therefore, he will not run away for a long time, he must be hiding in an unknown place, it is likely to be in Jiangling City!" Du Mei muttered.
"I mobilized them to search for him all over the city, but so far nothing has been found." Murong Xi shook his head.
"Most of the little beggars participated in the Mei Ji takeaway team, even if they didn't participate, they also received the favor of Mei Ji, Ma Rong's poisoning caused Mei Ji to close Zhang, and directly cut off Xiao Li's financial route, he took Du Zao to be a beggar for a few months, many people recognize him, now this kind of thing has happened, how can he dare to be mixed in the call of Huazi, if he is discovered, even if he is not caught by the official, he will be beaten half to death by the angry beggar, I guess he must be hiding in some other pickled place." Du Mei frowned in thought.
"Other pickles?" Murong Xi's peach blossom eyes fluttered, why didn't he expect it, he looked at Du Mei inquiringly, Du Mei today is still the Du Mei he knows, but it is not like before.
"What are you watching me do? If I say that when I wake up from a dream, I not only have the wisdom of my grandfather's art of war, but also inherit my grandmother's pharmacological and medical skills, do you believe it? Du Mei felt Murong Xi's gaze and said bluntly.
This is indeed a miraculous thing, but it really happened, Song Shaohuai and the others have little contact with Du Mei, so they naturally won't feel this subtle change, but Murong Xi is a very smart person, and she is extremely attentive to Du Mei, her reasoning today even exceeded him and Chu Lin at the time of the incident, and he was naturally shocked.
"Meizi, what did you say? Have you seen your grandparents? Xu asked in surprise.
"Well, it was my father and grandma who asked me to come back, and grandma didn't know what spell she chanted, so I had these abilities." Before they entered, Du Mei was amazed at his sudden increase in knowledge and skills.
"There is a saying that if you don't die, there will be blessings in the future, no matter how you get it, this is your blessing, with you as a lucky star, the Great Shun Dynasty should not die!" Song Shaohuai said happily.
He doesn't like to read on weekdays, but he has read a lot of books, and the stories of fairies and ghosts are not unusual to him at all, he is not stunned at the moment, and readily accepts Du Mei's statement.
"The second brother is right." Yuan Jinnian nodded. He is a lay disciple of Zhikong, listening to the master's chanting and preaching, and understanding the principle of the cycle of cause and effect, although Du Mei's encounter is a little bizarre, but her grandmother is the high priestess of the goddess clan, and everything is impossible.
"Congratulations to the county lord of Qinghe, who can get what Marquis Xu and his wife have learned all their lives, so that the evil will be eliminated just around the corner!" Zhao Ji'an bowed, he didn't care how Du Mei got it, what he cared about was that this kind of Du Mei would make him one step closer to the Savior.
"Now that you have inherited it, do you have a way to cure your own cold disease?" Murong Xi asked with concern, he found that Du Mei was very afraid of the cold, and the charcoal basin in the house was not extinguished day and night, like early spring, but her exposed hands outside the quilt were still slightly purple from the cold.
"Yes, yes, it's just ......" Du Mei smiled, but didn't continue.
Her grandmother's pharmacopoeia clearly stated that Vermilion Bird eggs could cure the cold. And this Vermilion Bird is the belief totem of the Laizhou Goddess Clan, this bird only nests on the sunny cliff of Li Mountain of the Goddess Clan, the young bird needs three years to grow, and then three years to lay two eggs, the female bird does not eat or drink to hatch for a month, the young bird comes out, and the mother bird dies.
Therefore, the Vermilion Bird Egg is a sacred product of the Goddess Clan, and only the High Priest is qualified to use it, if Du Mei wants to ask for medicine, she will either go back to be the High Priest who breaks off her love, or wait for the current High Priest to give medicine, and she is not a member of the Goddess Clan, how can such a precious holy product be given to her.
"Just what? As long as there is something in this world, I can find it for you! Murong Xi saw that she wanted to speak and stopped, and said anxiously.
"This matter is not urgent, I know my illness, I can deal with it at the moment, and it is important to do the right thing at the moment." Du Mei shook his head.
"If you say that there is a pickled place in Beijing, it is nothing more than the Qinlou Chu Pavilion and the Xianggu in the South Courtyard, since the accident, the Beijing patrol camp has strengthened the inspection of that area, and even the hotel bathhouse has been guarded, and no trace of Ma Rong has been found." Song Shaohuai is the general on duty in the Beijing patrol camp, and he is in charge of the records of daily inspections.
"I think of it, there is also a kind of single-family secret prostitution in Beijing, the government has repeatedly banned it, but with little effect, but it makes them hide deeper and deeper, all of them are scattered in the ordinary people's residences, doing nothing during the day, ushering in the evening to send them, sometimes also do monthly or annual business, the neighborhood next door is only an ordinary couple, once the business is over, they will move to another place to live." Murong Xi has a powerful tantric intelligence network and a small tabloid in Beijing, and in order to prevent the loss of family wealth, the wives of those high-ranking families will come to the door through various connections to find out the people who are raised by the old man Huaxin outside, so he has also heard of these secrets that are not secrets.
"Jiangling City is so big, if you want to check it, it is tantamount to ~ looking for a needle in a haystack, if those people have serious household registration documents, it is really difficult to do." Zhao Ji'an rubbed his hands and said.
"When Ma Rong went to Baiyun Villa, he was a penniless beggar, thinking that the money on his body was given by Du Xuan, they didn't plan to let him live for long, they would definitely not give him a lot, the rent on South Street is expensive, you just have to go to the remote boundary of Beishi to find it, if he is in Jiangling City, he will definitely not be able to escape." Du Mei was quick and said indifferently.
"In this way, it is not difficult, as fast as three or five days, as slow as half a month, I will definitely be able to find him." Murong Xi said confidently.
"Now I can only rely on your intelligence network, the patrol camp was invaded by the King of Shu, I can't count on it, Song Gongzi and Zhao Captain still need to secretly contact the henchmen and soldiers, if he has any changes in the day, it is better to be able to cooperate with the outside and the outside, and the worst is the worst, and it is okay to give us a message." Du Mei looked at the two of them and suggested.
"Then should I go back to the Tiger Army?" Yuan Jinnian asked with a calm face.
"Well, Yuan Gongzi should go back earlier, whether Ren Fucheng colluded with the King of Shu, I still want you to find out the detailed information, and I can deal with it here, and then I will take the double hairpin to see General Pei, and I have something to say." Du Mei nodded.
"Okay, at most three days, I will fly the pigeon and send a message to the second brother, and then you will act on the camera." Yuan Jinnian hugged his fists.
"Let's do it for the time being, the King of Shu has just robbed Mei Ji's business, and he has won the Beijing Patrol Camp, so he will inevitably win people's hearts, and he will not have time to interfere in the trial of Mei Ji's poisoning case for a while, so we just happen to secretly collect intelligence." Du Mei's face was pale, she had just woken up, and she had been talking for a long time, and her strength was obviously insufficient.
"Rest." Murong Xi's face slipped with pity, and he persuaded in a low voice.
"It's because I've slept too much, and this body is much worse than usual, which makes you worry in vain." Du Mei smiled softly.
"Now that we've made it up, let's go and get busy." Song Shaohuai couldn't bear to be disturbed and said goodbye.
"Don't tell the public about my waking up for the time being, Murong Xi, you bring a carriage to pick me up in three days, I remember that your disguise technique is very good." Du Mei thought for a moment and said again.
At the moment of the great enemy, what she is most worried about in her heart is Chu Lin, he has done too much for her, too many to count, she wants to save him, the previous time was with life, this time she will use wisdom.
The four of them left, Du Mei couldn't support it at all, Xu removed the futon he was leaning on, and helped Du Mei to sleep, Du Tao's three small ones, knowing that the adults were talking about things, didn't come to disturb them very obediently, and at this time they all poured into the house and gathered around Du Mei's bed.
"Eldest sister, I left candy for you to eat." Juniper took a piece of candy out of his pocket, held it up and shook it in front of Dumei's eyes.
"Komatsu is so good, my sister doesn't like candy, you can eat it yourself." Du Mei first rubbed his hands in the quilt, and then touched Juniper's round face, it was good to wake up.
"Sister, Uncle Scrap Manuscript has taught a new article, and when you are ready, I will recite it to you." Du Gui leaned on his feet and said very seriously.
"Guizi is the smartest, if you study for a few more years, you will be able to be a female master, and my sister is only afraid that she will have to listen to your articles when she arrives." Du Mei smiled, his eyebrows crooked.
"Sister, I'm so stupid, I don't have sugar, and I can't endorse it." Du Tao lowered his head and pulled the corner of his clothes and said shyly.
"Peach, sister wants to thank you, and I want to help my mother do things, and I want to bring Guizi Komatsu." Du Mei smiled and beckoned to her.
Xu Shi watched the sisters and brothers talking together affectionately, she couldn't help but turn her head and wipe away her tears, God willing, her daughter is back.
