Chapter 136: Second Master Save Me

Bad!

Xing'an wanted to say the word "delicious", but after being poisoned for N days, he really couldn't continue to praise Shui Xing's cooking skills against his will, so he said, "You are busy every day, so you don't have to do these things yourself, just let the small kitchen do it."

Although the food in the small kitchen tastes much worse than Miss Su's craftsmanship, it is at least much better than that made by Shui Xing.

This meal made by Apricot Water......

How to put it, at best, it can only be said to be cooked, not raw.

The so-called color and fragrance are simply not half a point.

"Miss Su has been busy taking care of Master He these days, and there are two sisters around to help, Wormwood and Qingkui, so I really don't have much work here."

Shui Xing said, "Don't be embarrassed, it wasn't a busy and tiring job, a few of them helped me to help, you are injured like this, you have to have someone to take care of it, especially this meal, you can't be sloppy, I do it myself, and I don't let others get involved."

Hung Yen, "......"

It's good to let others get their hands dirty, maybe it's not so unpalatable.

"The main thing is that I'm afraid you're too tired...... Xing'an said with a haha, "And I'm just a subordinate, I just eat whatever I have in the kitchen, and I shouldn't make a single meal, so if I go on like this, I won't let someone say anything wrong."

"Don't worry about this, I paid the money to the small kitchen, and let them buy vegetables, meat, etc., I spend my own money, and everyone else wants to swallow it back into my stomach."

Shui Xing comforted again and again, "You are a patient now, just rest well, don't worry about these things."

As he spoke, Shui Xing stuffed a spoonful of rice into Xing'an's mouth, "Don't talk too much, don't talk about it, if you keep talking, this meal will be cold, eat it quickly."

Xing'an had to open his mouth, chewing and swallowing like chewing wax.

The water apricot is fed spoonful by spoonful, without giving Xing'an any time to stop.

Hung Yen, "......"

Second master, save me!

After a few more days like this, He Yanxiu's condition here was visibly restored to the naked eye.

Although the splints on both hands could not be removed, and the injuries on the hands were only in a state of just scabbing, the external injuries on the body were effective because of the internal decoction and external ointment prescribed by Su Yujin, and many of the injuries were almost completely healed, and even the pain in the bone cracks had dissipated most of them.

He Yanxiu was already able to get out of bed and walk around occasionally, even when he was on bed rest, he could sit from time to time.

Qu Zhiwen came, dusty, tired, and bloodshot eyes.

"Lord He." Qu Zhiwen gave up.

"Master Qu, please take a seat." He Yanxiu stretched out his hand that was wrapped in gauze like a dumpling, "How is Lord Qu's condition?"

"The mine has been restored, the mine has been reinforced, and it has been blown up from the mountainside next to it a few times, and now the copper mine is ***, there are a lot of them, which is enough for a year and a half of mining."

Qu Zhiwen lowered his voice slightly, "Regarding the collapse of Lord He's mine, I have investigated for a few days and found some eyebrows."

"Master Qu, please speak." He Yanxiu sat up straight.

"I carefully sifted everyone up and down the mine to find out that Higa-sama and Man-sama were trapped in the mine that day, and it was indeed someone who did it on purpose."

Qu Zhiwen said, "These two people, one is called Ge Peng, and the other is called Zhu Ming, both of whom are guards of the Mint, and these two confessed that they were kidnapped by the black-clothed masked man to a remote place when they were on duty at night, and were fed poison, and the black-clothed man threatened the two, saying that if they followed his words and did things, they would not only be able to live, but also get a large sum of silver, but if they did not do this, they would be poisoned and die after a month."

"Ge Peng and Zhu Ming agreed to this matter after weighing it, and placed gunpowder on the inside of the mine according to the man's instructions, intending to blow up the entire mine, but the amount of gunpowder was miscalculated at that time, so that although the mine partially collapsed, it did not collapse completely."

"After the collapse of the mine, in order to kill the adults and others, the two of them blocked the experienced mining absenteeism and rescue, and even bribed the government officials to stab the horses with poisonous needles on our way up the mountain, causing the horses to go crazy and prevent us from entering the mountain to rescue."

"The black-clothed masked man, who later came forward one after another, once showed his true face, described by Ge Peng and Zhu Ming, this life is thin and tall, with a long face, small eyes, and a scar on the right cheek that is more than an inch long......

He Yanxiu narrowed his eyes, "Listening to this person's appearance, it's very familiar."

"Exactly." Qu Zhiwen nodded, "It's exactly the same as the person who instructed Zhu Liu under the pseudonym Zhang Shuisheng when the bile alum poisoning happened in the mine last time, and after I ordered someone to draw a portrait according to Ge Peng and Zhu Ming's description, I asked Zhu Liu to identify it, and Zhu Liu also said that it was this person."

"I have distributed this portrait and searched for it within the jurisdiction of Hedong Prefecture, and several nearby county towns and prefectures have also sent people to send letters to strengthen the investigation at the city gate, and we must find this person."

This person has caused trouble in the mine twice in a row, whether the target is the household department or He Yanxiu, but if He Yanxiu and the Mint Bureau make a mistake here, it will also be a great responsibility for Hedong Mansion.

So, be sure to arrest this person!

He Yanxiu said in a deep voice, "Finding someone who will deliberately hide his whereabouts is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, but I'm afraid it's not easy."

"But don't let this person go unpunished!"

You can't do nothing, at least you have to work hard.

"It's nature." He Yanxiu nodded, thought for a while, and said, "This person obstructs the affairs of the Mint Bureau everywhere, repeatedly causes trouble in the mines, and even does not hesitate to murder the officials of the imperial court, his mind is indeed extremely vicious."

The person who instructed this person to do things was indeed bold enough.

"If you want to catch this person and interrogate him closely, I'm afraid it's not enough, I need to think about other methods."

Seeing that He Yanxiu seemed to be confident, Qu Zhiwen arched his hand, "What does Lord He mean......

He Yanxiu hooked the corners of his lips, "I'm afraid that this time, I'll have to borrow something from Master Qu."

In late May, a heat wave rolled in.

But in the mountains, the cool breeze is refreshing.

The craftsmen in the mint are methodically busy with their own work.

The hammers and chisels in the hands of the craftsmen who excavate the stones are tinkling continuously.

A stone was a large piece of stone that fell off it, and the weight was very heavy, and the craftsman picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly exclaimed, "Gold, this is gold? I dug up a nugget of gold?"
