Chapter 51: See the Move
Could this be the killing of the invisible?
"If something really happened to me, will you find out that I was poisoned when you find out the cause?"
Jiao Changqing thought about it for a while before he said: "To be honest, this is very difficult, because the first thing that the toxicity hurts is the girl's internal organs, and it is difficult to find out the toxicity from the damaged internal organs after death." ”
Meng Xilan listened carefully without saying a word, and nodded solemnly: "I see...... There is still such a poison in this world that can kill a person without a trace. Thank you for your attention, this time is really inconvenient for you. Zhulu go and bring out the gift I prepared. ”
Now that you know all the things you need to know, it's time to end this conversation.
Although she owes him a favor, according to the current situation, it is estimated that he wants to stay as far away from her as possible, so as not to cause any trouble in the future and be implicated.
The gift prepared by Meng Xilan was a fine piece of jade, which had not yet been carved, and it was natural and pure. "Be careful, I hope the adults will accept it."
Jiao Changqing saw that he understood, and was slightly silent, and his tone was slightly displeased: "The girl is too polite." I can't afford to be rewarded with no merit, and I can't afford such a generous gift. ”
Did she think of herself too simply, thinking that she could buy people's hearts with money?
Meng Xilan noticed the change in his tone and smiled calmly. "Don't be angry, my lord, I really want to thank you for your help. Whether it's last time, or this time, it's all thanks to you. I originally wanted to make friends with you, but unfortunately, I am now in trouble, and I have a holiday with the county lord of Anning, so it is really inconvenient to continue to trouble adults. I can only prepare a little courtesy, which can be regarded as a little heart. ”
It was half sincere, half tentative, and she had a gut feeling that he was a good man, but it was only intuition.
After Jiao Changqing heard this, he really hesitated.
What should he do? Should you follow the steps she gave you, leave here, and draw a line? Or continue to care about her safety and keep her safe?
Jiao Changqing raised his eyes slightly, looked directly at Meng Xilan's face, and said in a calm tone: "The girl said a sentence before: "The doctor is benevolent", since he considers himself a doctor, he can't stand by and watch the dangerous things. Although he has no ability to help the girl solve the dilemma, at least he can do his part. ”
He still can't see death without saving him, the person sitting in front of him is not just a trouble, she is a living life, maybe not innocent, but very immature.
Meng Xilan's eyes lit up, and Ying Ying smiled, "The kindness and favor of the adults, the people are really grateful, I really don't know how to repay you." ”
"I don't need a girl's repayment, saving people and curing diseases is the mission of a doctor. From then on, at this hour every day, I would come to check the girl's pulse. The girl's usual daily life must be careful. However, everything that is imported must be tested with a silver needle to ensure safety. ”
Jiao Changqing was indifferent, and pushed the box containing the jade back to Meng Xilan, "It's not early, the girl should rest early." ”
Meng Xilan suddenly said again: "Master Jiao, I don't thank you for your kindness. From now on, you are my friend of Meng Xilan, a friend of my Meng family, if one day, you need my help, I will do my best. ”
Who knows, Jiao Changqing didn't appreciate it, corrected his expression, his face was as cold as an ice cube, and said; The girl may have misunderstood, and she is willing to do this, not to ask for any favors, but to only do what she should do. Also, I will never make friends with women, so I can only live up to the girl's kindness. ”
Meng Xilan's face changed slightly when she heard this, but she was not embarrassed, and she bowed her head lightly: "I see." That's a pity, it's rare to meet a trusted person in life, since adults don't want to, I won't make it difficult for me. There are no absolutes, I just hope that one day, you can change your mind. ”
For some reason, she suddenly had a feeling that Jiao Changqing was far more trustworthy than she imagined.
……
On the third day of the first month of March, good news finally came from Changzhou, and the silver and silver for disaster relief played a role in time, and the disaster situation was generally controlled.
Zhou Youlin allocated some silver taels and summoned the people of the towns and villages near Changzhou to clean up the official roads blocked by the heavy snow one by one, so that the materials from the outside could be transported in, and the victims inside could be transferred out one after another for treatment.
His approach is simple and decisive, but it is the most effective.
Zhou Shixian heard of this dragon face and great joy, and the courtiers who were originally optimistic about Zhou Youlin praised him and praised him very much.
Three days later, in addition to returning to Beijing with the good news from Changzhou, there was also a book by Meng Zhenglu, in which he righteously pointed out that Chen Wen, the prefect of Changzhou, and Chen Huai, the prefect of Wen'an County, had filled their pockets and delayed the disaster, and the evidence was conclusive.
After Zhou Shixian read this book, he immediately gave instructions to dismiss all his cadres and others for investigation, and sent the governor and minister to Changzhou to help Zhou Youlin.
Changzhou turned from danger to safety, Zhou Youlin won a great victory, and everything can be described as smooth sailing and satisfying.
When Meng Xilan heard this, she was sincerely happy for her father, but on the other hand, she couldn't help but worry about him, worried that her father's integrity and decisiveness might bring trouble to himself and cause resentment from others.
The stakes of officialdom are the most complex and tangled, and there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies. It's a pity that he is not a man, and he can't always be by his father's side like his brothers to help him beware of those villains with ulterior motives.
Thinking of this, Meng Xilan suddenly had a flash in her mind, remembering the incident that Xiao Lizi mentioned before.
Zhou Shili ...... During this time, it was rare to see him appear in Cining Palace, which was really strange...... And he is actually getting closer and closer to the prince unusually, there must be some reason for this.
Meng Xilan asked Gao Fuli to continue to go to the vicinity of Mingde Palace to get some news, Gao Fuli nodded first, didn't take two steps and turned back, and said in a low voice: "Master, let the slave have one more mouth, the person you should worry about the most at the moment is the county lord of Anning." She is so deliberately harming you, how can you not be more precautionary? The slave knows that you have a good heart, but you also have to think about yourself...... Why don't you write another letter home? ”
He also learned from Zhu Lu's mouth recently that Meng Xilan and the future crown princess Miss Chu are close friends, and the reason why she was injured last time was because of Miss Chu. Before, he also wondered why Meng Xilan was so concerned about the prince's affairs, but now that he looks at it, he must be worried about Miss Chu's family.
Meng Xilan stared at him when she heard this, his eyes were impartial, firm and respectful, and a trace of anxiety appeared on his face, which was not like pretending at all.
