Chapter 66: Ultimatum
readx;? Xia Zhi didn't expect Yang Jing to have such a big reaction, thinking that he had said too much and annoyed Yang Jing, so he immediately apologized and said, "Young master, I'm sorry... The slave knows that she is wrong, and she will not dare to chew the root of her tongue next time..."
Yang Jing saw that Xia Zhi's little face was white, and then he realized that he was scared of this girl, and immediately let go of her shoulders, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and said softly: "Brother Yang didn't blame you, but I felt that those workers were too unruly, and you should tell Brother Yang in detail about the medicine garden..."
Xia Zhi saw that Yang Jing's face softened, and he was also relieved, but he was a lot more restrained, and after answering, he told what he had seen and heard in the morning. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Just this morning, the slave maid boiled chicken soup for Uncle Chen, thinking that the aquatic guy was too the construction site, so he sent a cup over, and went to the medicine garden to pick Uncle Chen's herbs back, but found that the garden was full of footprints, and the medicinal plants were trampled on a lot... The slave didn't recognize much of it, but she remembered that a lot of houttuynia and perilla had been picked, and it should have been stolen back by those workers to cook fish soup..."
"Houttuynia cordata and perilla?" Yang Jing groaned slightly, and then ordered Xia Zhi, "Take me to the medicine garden to have a look..."
After all, Yang Jing studied medicine, although he is a Western medicine, he also has an understanding of traditional Chinese medicine, and he has also studied basic courses and elective courses in college, and his practice is less, but he still has knowledge reserves.
This Houttuynia cordata clears heat and detoxifies, clears the lungs and carbuncles, and cures cough, and perilla is a medicine that regulates qi and is wide, although he doesn't know what disease Wang Buliu's wife has, but when he was in prison, he saw her cough!
Of course, it may also be that Yang Jing's nerves are too nervous, seeing the wind is rain, maybe it's really just the workers picking it up to cook fish soup.
But after arriving at the medicine garden, Yang Jing was sure that these herbs were not picked by the workers to make soup!
Because in addition to Houttuynia cordata and perilla, there are several other herbs that have been stolen, and most of them are herbs for treating old diseases!
"It's the king who doesn't stay!" Yang Jing suddenly lifted his spirits, it can really be said that he stepped on the iron shoes and found nowhere to find them, and it took no effort at all!
However, he also admired the courage of this Wang Buliu, although the most dangerous place was the safest place, but even Yang Jing did not expect that Wang Buliu was not only hiding in the city, but also dared to steal Yang Jing's manor!
Wang Buliu is a slippery old stick in the rivers and lakes, and the bet is that Yang Jing is dark under the lamp, who would have thought that he would come to Yang Jing to steal herbs!
There is still construction here, Yang Jing also lives in the county office, there is no way to come back often, even if he finds that the herbs have been stolen, he only thinks that there are many people, and the workers steal it, besides, Yang Jing, the master, is not there, even if the next person finds out, it will only cover up the facts, for fear that the owner will know.
It's just that he didn't expect that Yang Jing was different from other people, he was easy-going, and he didn't treat Xia Zhi as a subordinate, and Xia Zhi also had nothing to say to Yang Jing.
"Girl, you have made a great contribution this time!" Yang Jing looked excited, and happily touched Xia Zhi's head, although his hair was messy, Xia Zhi liked the feeling of being touched by Yang Jing's head, very close, very sweet...
Yang Jing searched the inside and outside of the medicine garden again, squatted down in front of a peony plant, twisted some things next to the peony root, twisted it with his fingers, paused at the gate of the medicine garden for a while, carefully inspected the lock and the wall, and then left the medicine garden, and as soon as he returned to his residence, he secretly called Chen Shuisheng over, and told him in his ear for a while, before Chen Shuisheng left the manor.
Judging from the loss of the medicine garden, this king did not stay and did not dare to pick too much at one time, according to his temperament, he should be careful not to step on the bad medicine plant, and he has also been a Langzhong, he knows the preciousness of the medicinal materials, and has professional habits, so he should not destroy the medicine plant.
This can only show that either the person who stole the medicine was instructed by Wang Buliu, or Wang Buliu's wife was seriously ill, which made him lose his proportions.
Through analysis, Yang Jing believes that the first one may be relatively large, because Wang Buliu is very clear about his wife's condition, and the prescription is also being taken for a long time.
So who will be the person who stole the medicine? As long as you find this person, you should be able to follow the vine and find the king without staying!
Yang Jing quickly fell into deep thought, and Xia Zhi didn't dare to disturb, just obediently fanned Yang Jing on the side.
After a long time, Yang Jing suddenly realized that she laughed, and then pulled the summer solstice girl to her side, and said in her ear: "Girl, there is something for you to do, you do this first... Such.... ”
Yang Jing said this close to Xia Zhi's ear, the slight heat blew on her ear, Xia Zhi's girl's face instantly turned red to her neck, and the whole person was soft and dizzy, until Yang Jing urged her, she came back to her senses, walked out in a daze, and almost tripped over the threshold...
Yang Jing looked at the back of this girl leaving in embarrassment, and he couldn't cry or laugh, but when he thought about it, he would be able to touch the melon along the vine and find out Wang Buliu, and his heart swelled with excitement!
Wang Buliu is really an old Jianghu, with strong observation, vigilance, and anti-reconnaissance awareness, rich knowledge, extensive knowledge, in all fairness, such a person brings Yang Jing is not jealous, but full of fighting spirit!
After Xia Zhi left, Yang Jing secretly followed, walked in the direction of the construction site, and saw Xia Zhi looking angry from a distance.
These workers are already very familiar with Xia Zhi, knowing that she is a big girl, managing all the housekeeping of the huge manor, and they didn't dare to be frivolous, but Xia Zhi is kind and kind, and has never treated these workers badly, and everyone also greeted Xia Solstice with a smile.
However, Xia Zhi didn't buy it, she saw that these workers were all around, so she crossed her waist angrily.
"You dogs are really brave, even the young master's medicine garden dares to steal, the young master can speak, although the theft of medicinal materials is a trivial matter, but the hands and feet are not clean is unacceptable, who knows where your hand to steal medicinal materials today, Ming'er will stretch out! He is the magistrate of the county government, if people know that there is a thief in their house, won't they let people laugh off their big teeth!"
Xia Zhi was originally Cao Enzhi's wife Li Wanniang's personal maid, this Cao family has a good relationship with the Peng family, and it is also a big family in Baling, and Xia Zhi has also seen the world.
As soon as they heard Xia Zhi say this, those workers talked about it one by one, some expressed indignation, some scolded, and some felt sorry for the master's family, in short, they suddenly became in a commotion.
"Miss Xia, we are all hard-working people, who dares to use half of the needle and thread in the yard! Miss Xia, don't wronged the little ones..."
The foreman at the construction site was a short, black-faced man, honest and trustworthy to his brother, and immediately defended everyone.
Xia Zhi and the foreman are also familiar, knowing that he is a good man, he takes care of them on weekdays, cooks them a big bowl of herbal tea in the hot season, and gives them melons and fruits that have been towned by well water, and the rice is enough, and they are also given meat from time to time, I don't want to be embarrassed with them, but thinking of Yang Jing's advice, I can't help but harden my heart.
"Don't blame me, this time the young master is really angry, the young master said, if that thief doesn't take the initiative to ask the young master before tomorrow morning, tomorrow you won't have to go to work, all roll up and leave!"
As soon as Xia said this, the surrounding workers were in an uproar, although doing construction is hard work, but it is also technical, there was no heavy industry in ancient times, light industry and handicrafts were not developed, and the number of craftsmen was not much.
And Yang Jing is not an ordinary building, it has to be carved and painted, it is considered to build a mansion, and the wages of these workers are also very considerable, and the treatment is good, where to find such a good master to work!
When I heard that everyone was going to lose their jobs because of a thief who didn't know if there was one, the big guys were angry!
"How can this be!"
"It can't be like this!"
"Who is lacking in heart and eye, even daring to move the master's things, but it hurts us!"
Xia Zhi didn't bother to pay attention to it, snorted angrily, and was about to leave, when the black strong foreman came over again and pleaded: "Xia Solstice girl, you still beg the young master to intercede, let's not say whether our brothers did it, just say that most of this building has been built, and the construction period cannot be delayed, but don't miss the young master's big event because of a few herbs."
Xia Zhi actually thinks that the foreman is right, her young master Yang Jing is not a stingy person, and the money in the family is assured to be handed over to her to manage, and she has also explained to her on weekdays, don't be too harsh on the food of the workers, give them more meat, and I don't know what happened to the young master this time.
"Foreman, this is not something I can call the shots, you also know that my young master saved the eldest lady of the Cao family, that is a means to bring the dead back to life, people with advanced medical skills usually cherish herbs the most, besides, our young master is a pusher, there is a thief in the family, where can he hang on his face"
Xia Zhi remembered Yang Jing's advice, and didn't dare to agree to intercede for them, but she couldn't bear the pitiful appearance of the foreman, and was about to leave ruthlessly, but she remembered what Yang Jing told her to say, so she raised her voice and said.
"Hmph, don't intercede for others, you can trust them, they may not be clean, if that thief still has a little conscience, he should get out of here as soon as possible, don't bother all the brothers!"
When everyone heard it, it was indeed this reason, if the thief was really a family member, it would be good if he left, firstly, the young master would not be able to pursue him, and secondly, the young master would know who the thief was, and he would not let the big guys be covered up.
Watching Xia Solstice leave, everyone quieted down, and their eyes focused on the foreman, who also sighed for a long time, looking at no one like him, but looking at everyone like a thief, everyone was in danger for a while.
Yang Jing secretly watched from the sidelines, and it wasn't until Xia Zhi left the construction site that he showed up, seeing that Xia Zhi wanted to speak and stopped, knowing that she wanted to ask for mercy, he patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Brother Yang, I just want to catch that thief, and I won't really let everyone roll up." ”
"Really, that's great! Young Master, you're so kind," Xia Zhi grinned, and involuntarily held Yang Jing's arm.
Yang Jing saw that she was like a little girl, and she was also happy from the bottom of her heart, and nodded the tip of her nose and scolded with a smile: "You, you are too good, you will suffer."
Xia Zhi hugged Yang Jing's arm and rubbed it: "This is called Liang Zheng is not crooked, what kind of master has what kind of slave and maid, as long as he has been following the young master, how can Xia Zhi suffer, hehe"
Yang Jing also shook his head and smiled.
