Chapter 136: Misty Incense

For Xu Zhen, this is really a surprise.

According to speculation, Xu Zhen suspected that when Wei Yulang bribed the county magistrate Chen Houlu, Chen Houlu must have mentioned his importance to Wei Yulang.

As a result, Wei Yulang finally understood that the fall of the three bullies had a lot to do with him.

Even Chen Houlu obeyed his words, so ...... If Xu Zhen wants to bring down him Wei Yulang, it's not a matter of minutes?

Thinking about this truth, Wei Yulang's performance is not "excessive".

He pretended to be promoted, and gave Xu Zhen such a high-profile gift, just to let outsiders know that he and Xu Zhen were sworn brothers and had a deep relationship.

In this way, Xu Zhen naturally couldn't fight Wei Yulang's idea anymore, because to engage Wei Yulang was to engage himself.

Interesting......

Through the mountains of gifts, Xu Zhen could see how panicked Wei Yulang was.

However, although he could see through him, Xu Zhen could only push the boat along the river and accept these small gifts "helplessly".

First, although Wei Yulang has an extreme personality and is also a traitor, he is not as heinous as Qiu Zhennong and Cui Xiaotian.

The common people listed him as the first of the four bullies, mainly because he was too rich and had no real hatred.

Second, Wei Yulang's backstage is from the government, and his uncle is still the captain of Songzhou's military power, so he can't be defeated.

Third, although Xu Zhen's status has improved, he still needs a backstage like Wei Yulang. Especially if he wants to strive for the top in the future, then Wei Yulang can still help him.

As for the fourth point, Wei Yulang can also provide Xu Zhen with money laundering functions.

When everyone knew that Wei Yulang was his eldest brother, then Xu Zhen would spend all the "cellar silver" he got from Qiu Batian, and it would all become natural, and his identity as an outburst would not arouse suspicion.

Soon, four servants were sent to Xu Zhen's mansion, a maid, an old mother, a housekeeper, and a cook.

Xu Zhen felt that these four people were all familiar, especially the family member who was sent, it turned out to be Ah Sheng in Wei Yulang's mansion.

It seems that Wei Yulang directly lent the servants in his house to Xu Zhen.

What's even more powerful is that Wei Yulang actually sent the four of them in person, and told them to work hard in front of Xu Zhen, and if they dared not listen to Xu Zhen's words, they would be served by their family law.

Of course, the four of them promised again and again, and hurried to meet Xu Zhen, and Mrs. Xu had a dream.

"Hahaha, brother Xian," Wei Yulang pointed to the dilapidated eaves of Xu Zhen's house and said, "I asked Lao Liu to find someone to repair the house and tidy up the garden, you don't have to worry about it, I promise to find the best craftsmen."

"If you have any requests, if you think this house is too long, then simply tear it down and rebuild it!"

"Then thank you Wei Sicheng." Xu Zhen thanked him.

"Huh?" Wei Yulang pretended to be angry, "Isn't it far to call Wei Sicheng?" We're brothers! Hehe......"

Wei Yulang's face was full of red light, his face was full of smiles, and he had long lost the arrogant spirit of the past.

"Then ......," Xu Zhen pointed to the living room, "let's talk in the room, big brother." ”

"Okay, Brother Xian, please!"

After a polite exchange, the two went to the living room.

Wei Yulang stepped down, and Xu Zhen also took away Youmeng, so he got to the point.

"Brother Wei," Xu Zhen said, "There are four or five people on the list, I have never seen them, and the information given by Ling is not very detailed, you see...... Can you invite them to your house so that I can see them? ”

"Alas......" Wei Yulang sighed and said, "I have already looked for them, and those people are all Hu merchants in the Western Regions, and they are not in the Central Plains at present. Moreover, I have only done trade with them once or twice, and I have long since broken off contact. ”

"Oh......" Xu Zhen frowned, thoughtful. He felt that if there was not much intersection, the suspicion of those people would not seem to be great.

"You don't have to be embarrassed," Wei Yulang hurriedly said, "This matter is also a family ugly, if you can't find it, then forget it!" ”

Typical double standard, put it before, Wei Yulang didn't say that.

"This person has sinister intentions," Xu Zhen said, "He is the culprit who killed the third lady, and if you don't catch him, you will definitely hurt people in the future." ”

"But......" Wei Yulang frowned, "We've checked all the people who participated in the banquet, why can't we find any suspicious people?" ”

"Big brother," Xu Zhen thought for a moment and said, "You give me another list of your family's servants, as well as the patrol list of the nurses, how can I always feel that someone has taken advantage of the loophole?" ”

"Oh?" Wei Yulang said, "There is no problem with this, if there is really a loophole in the patrol, it is good to find out!" ”

……

After sending Wei Yulang away, Xu Zhen did not deal with the piles of gifts and assign tasks to his subordinates.

He left all the family affairs to Youmeng.

Youmeng is also a little confused, she suddenly changed from a child daughter-in-law to Mrs. Xu, and there are four more people, and I don't feel very comfortable.

Moreover, she was wearing clothes that were not even inferior to those of the other people......

Coming out of the house, Xu Zhen hurried to the Chengdong Pharmacy.

There is only one pharmacy in the entire county of Yanping.

Earlier, Xu Zhen had purchased mandala and other medicinal materials from here, and at this moment, he had come here to ask about another matter.

"Shopkeeper," Xu Zhen deliberately wore a quick public uniform and asked the owner of the pharmacy, "There are not many things like mandala, right?" ”

"No," replied the proprietor, "mandala can cure rheumatism, relieve asthma and pain, cure epilepsy, chills, etc., and although it is not a common prescription drug, it is also prescribed a lot." ”

"Oh?" Xu Zhen pondered for a moment and asked, "What about people like me, who don't prescribe and buy them directly?" ”

"That's not much," said the shopkeeper, "mandala is poison, and you dare not sell it if you have too much." ”

"Then ......," Xu Zhen asked, "besides me, who else has bought it without a prescription?" What was it like about a year ago? ”

"Yes! Yes," said the proprietor without hesitation, "it is true that a young man came to buy a mandala a year ago, and there was not much left in our family at that time, so he took care of it all, so I remember it very clearly." ”

"He ......," Xu Zhen asked hurriedly, "did he buy anything else?" ”

"Yes, there are fragrant gels, hemp and black jade powder, etc., it seems that I also bought Tianqi and licorice, saying that it is used to study new dishes, I guess he is a cook, right?"

"What does he look like?" Xu Zhen asked the key question.

"Well...... the owner of the pharmacy frowned, "that man wears a very low hat, and he only knows that he is a man, very young, white, and I really can't see the appearance." ”

"Think about it again," Xu Zhen reminded, "Are there any other details?" How's it tall? What was his voice, was he a foreigner? ”

"No, no, definitely local," the pharmacy owner affirmed, "his accent is Yanping, his voice is very deep, he is the same size as you, he walks quickly, and he seems to be in a hurry......"

"Oh......" Xu Zhen nodded slightly and said, "He's not in a hurry, but nervous......"
