Chapter 108: Coming at Him
Qu Zhiwen was busy checking Zhu Liu's pillow, and sure enough, he found the twenty taels of silver hidden in the pillow.
It's broken silver, and there's nothing special about it except that it's new.
After Qu Zhiwen asked his subordinates to inquire, he learned that Zhu Liu's family was poor, and he would definitely not have as much silver taels as twenty taels of savings.
From this point of view, what Zhu Liu said should be true.
Indeed, a man found him, gave him a sum of money, and asked him to poison everyone by washing dishes, but that man deceived him, and even his name and background were fake.
It was that person, who was really a hunter, hated the mining and coinage here, making him unable to hunt and make money, so he wanted to make trouble, but when he told Zhu Liu, he lied about his name in order to avoid accountability.
Or is that person even making up a lie and just trying to sabotage?
If so, what is his cause, and did he command him?
With such a question, Qu Zhiwen found He Yanxiu and told him about these situations one by one, "What does Master He think about this matter?"
"It seems that Master Qu and I have become a thorn in the side of others."
He Yanxiu's eyes were dark, "Those who can take out twenty taels of silver just to destroy it at once are naturally not ordinary people, nor are they desperate people who are desperate because they have no way to live, they just think that the matter of mining and minting coins here, you and I will be rewarded if we do it well, so we just look for some troubles and make it difficult for you and me."
"If that man had been more lucky, and many people had been poisoned by eating alum, the stakes would have been high, and we would have made it clear that there had been such a big mistake in this matter, then the two of us would have been reprimanded, and whether the black gauze hat on our heads could be kept was another matter."
When Qu Zhiwen heard this, his face was gloomy, "I also had this conjecture just now, but I don't dare to be sure, now that I hear Lord Gu say this, I feel more and more that this is the case."
"It's just that this person is really hateful, if you want to put me to death, just find an opportunity to kill people, it is such a big effort, and so many innocent people who have nothing to do with it!"
It's really glad that Zhu Liu was timid and didn't do what that person said, so many galls.
Otherwise, this place would be full of corpses.
That's a living human life!
Qu Zhiwen didn't dare to think that if something like that really happened, he would not be able to accept it.
"If you and I are killed, there will be new people to take the place of you and me, and it may be more difficult to deal with than us, they will naturally not do this, they will only make us lose our fighting spirit, and also take the opportunity to kill chickens and monkeys, so that others can come and take a look."
He Yanxiu's voice was low, and he clenched the sleeve in his hand again and again, "These people are far more ruthless than we imagined, this time it won't work, next time there will be a plan, we need to be cautious and strengthen our defense."
"That's exactly what your lord said." Qu Zhiwen raised his chin and was filled with righteous indignation, "Since ancient times, evil has prevailed over good, I don't believe it, they can really cover the sky with one hand!"
"Don't worry, my lord, I will strengthen my manpower, and I will pay attention to the details one by one, and no such thing will happen again!"
Especially on the boundaries of his Hedong Mansion!
"Lord Hardship." He Yanxiu arched his hand, and the haze on his face became a little thicker.
As he said, it was probably not for the mines, but for the people.
If it was for Qu Zhiwen, he would have no clue for a while, but if it was for him......
Then he knew what he knew.
He Yanxiu clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Su Yujin didn't close his eyes almost overnight.
Since I arrived here yesterday, I have been busy diagnosing and prescribing prescriptions, and I have carried out emergency treatment for the people who have been poisoned by bile alum, and when the medicine has been caught according to the prescription, I have stared at the boiling and ordered people to pour it into the poisoned person to check the status of the detoxification.
The poison in it is not deep, but only taking decoction to detoxify, in the end, some diseases are like a thread, and I poured it three times in one night
The decoction, the person's symptoms were also reduced a little, and after taking several medicines during the day today, the poisoned person's condition was almost stabilized.
Su Yujin once again took the pulse of many people, determined the degree of detoxification, and reopened the prescription, reducing the weight of some antidote herbs, and instructed people to grab the medicine and boil it again.
When those people got busy as she said, Su Yujin breathed a sigh of relief, drank two cups of tea, and rested.
"Girl." Wormwood brought a bowl over, "The girl has been busy since last night, and she hasn't even eaten breakfast, she only ate a cake to pad her stomach, and the maid just borrowed a big stove to cook a bowl of noodles for the girl, although the craftsmanship is not as good as the girl's, but it is hot in the mouth, and she specially cut some shredded meat into it, and the girl will eat a bowl first."
"It's fine."
Su Yujin was busy for a long time, and he was indeed tired and hungry at this time, so he only took the bowl in Wormwood's hand.
Wormwood is not good at cooking, but on weekdays, he often does work such as rolling noodles and rolling dumpling skins, so the noodles at this time are thin and chewy, which makes up for the poor taste of fried shredded meat.
And indeed, as wormwood said, it is better than a bowl of heat.
Such a hot bowl of shredded meat soup noodles went down to the stomach, which only made Su Yujin feel as if he had been driven away from his fatigue, and he felt very comfortable.
Seeing that Su Yujin had eaten a bowl of noodles cleanly, Wormwood was very happy in her heart, and her worries dissipated, "I'll scoop another bowl for the girl."
"Scoop me a bowl too." He Yanxiu walked over.
He hadn't eaten anything until now.
"If the second master is hungry, I'll go and make a bowl for the second master alone."
Although He Yanxiu's sense of taste has not fully recovered, he is extremely picky about the taste of food, and the craftsmanship of wormwood, she can barely accept it, He Yanxiu probably can't eat it.
"Not necessarily." He Yanxiu stopped Su Yujin, who was cheering up, "Just eat two bites, you are tired all night, so let's take a break."
Su Yujin's face was already a little pale, and he really couldn't bear to let her add a hundred pounds because of his appetite.
Seeing He Yanxiu say this, Su Yujin was really tired, so he took the opportunity to respond, and only asked Wormwood to help He Yanxiu and her bring noodles over.
Wormwood called out to Xing'an, brought two bowls of noodles, and a few pickled side dishes.
In the noodle bowl, there are two more poached eggs each.
The two of them sat on a low stool and ate noodles around the low table.
Su Yujin had already eaten a bowl just now, and she was just asking Wormwood to serve her another half bowl, but Wormwood was worried that she wouldn't be full, so she still gave him a bowl full of noodles.
So much so that even if Su Yujin was already eating, there was still half a bowl of noodles left in the bowl.
