Today, Lu Mansion welcomes a special guest.

When Lu Shen walked into the main hall, he only heard Lu Tong say apologetically: "Brother Shi, it stands to reason that the foolish brother should come to the door with a dog to thank you, how can you come here in person?" ”

Another gentle tone said, "If something hadn't happened to the Jiangnan Sect, I should have come over a few days ago to take a look." When I returned to Guangling today, I thought that I would come to you first and help Lu Shen diagnose the child in detail, so that you would not worry about it every day. I told you a long time ago not to see each other like this, and you and I don't have to be polite and polite. ”

Lu Tong said gratefully: "There is Brother Lao Shi to remember. The dog should be fine, but the foolish brother is indeed a little relieved. ”

The man sighed lightly: "Pity the hearts of parents in the world, it's better to be." ”

Lu Daodao: "Yes, I don't expect him to be an official and get ahead, as long as he is safe and sound-Shen'er, come and meet Xue Shibo." ”

Lu Shen, who had just walked into the hall, raised his eyes and saw an old man over fifty years old sitting next to Lu Tong, whose temperament was gentle and kind, and he was quite like a fairy wind and bones, and he was looking at himself with a smile at the moment.

This old man should be the famous Xue Divine Doctor Xue Huaiyi.

Lu Shen didn't know that Lu Tong had a life-saving grace for this Xue Divine Doctor, but from this brief conversation, it could also be confirmed that the friendship between the two was deeper than he expected.

He stepped forward and saluted respectfully: "Little nephew Lu Shen, please see Xue Shibo." ”

Xue Huaiyi said gently and kindly: "Virtuous nephew, please get up quickly." ”

Lu Shen straightened up and stood aside in an orderly manner, listening to the conversation between the two.

Although Lu Tong will not deliberately pose as a strict father, even if there are outsiders, it will be the same as usual, but Lu Shen knows very well what he should do.

Xue Huaiyi looked at his complexion for a while, and then said to Lu Tong: "When I came back from Jiangnan, I happened to meet Su Buqing going south. He told me what had happened, and asked me to advise you to make up your mind to enter the warp weaving department as soon as possible. Brother Xian, this is the first time I have heard him praise a young junior from Su Buqing, which is quite rare. ”

Lu Tongden smiled a little from ear to ear.

Although he kept saying that he only hoped that Lu Shen would be safe and happy, but he could hear the sincere praise from others, how could he be unhappy as a father?

Lu Shen's face was calm, but he was vaguely worried in his heart.

The warp weaving division's victory is a great success, but it does not mean that you can rest easy.

The internal investigation, the purging of the remnants of Beiyan, and the pacification of people's hearts are all very important things, Su Buqing cannot solve these problems in just a few days, and he crossed the river south in such a hurry, no matter how you look at it, it is strange.

Judging from the contact in the past, Su Buqing should not be the kind of person who is consumed by profit and can't wait to return to the capital to ask for merit if he has a little result. Either his acting skills were seamless and he didn't show any flaws in front of Lu Shen, or he had a reason to go back to the capital immediately.

Thinking of Lu Tong's previous statement, could it be that the struggle between the center of the imperial court and the warp weaving department is becoming more and more intense?

It's just that these things are too far away from me, and it's boring to worry about them in vain.

The two elders smiled and smiled, but in fact, most of the attention was on Lu Shen, Xue Huaiyi coughed lightly, and said to Lu Shen: "Virtuous nephew, sit down." The old man and Ling Zun are world friends, so there is no need to be so restrained. ”

Lu Tong also said: "Since Xue Shibo has spoken, you can also sit down." ”

Lu Shen thanked him and sat down.

Xue Huaiyi said again: "After you contracted the disease in the pseudo-Yan Tieshan City, Ling Zun told the old man about the illness, but the letter sent back at that time was vague, after all, I still have to ask yourself, what was the situation at the beginning, during and after the infection?" ”

Lu Shen thought for a while, and said slowly: "The little nephew led a caravan to arrive at Pseudo Yan Tieshan City on the fifth day of the second month, and handed over the goods on the same day. The buyers set up a banquet to invite each other, and the little nephew took the people from the firm to go. The name of the liquor shop was Qing Shen Zui, a slightly strange name, but it looked very normal on the inside, and it was a well-known restaurant in Iron Mountain City. ”

Xue Huaiyi said: "There is nothing abnormal during the banquet? ”

Lu Shen replied: "The little nephew doesn't remember very well, according to the people who accompanied him, nothing else happened at the banquet. About half an hour or so, the little nephew suddenly fainted, and then fell unconscious, and did not wake up until late February. ”

Xue Huaiyi groaned: "During the time you were in a coma, did you still have a clear consciousness? ”

Lu Shen said: "There are only some remnants of fragments, and they are not very real. In a trance, the little nephew seemed to be able to feel that someone was talking in his ear and someone was talking about the condition, but he couldn't open his eyes and couldn't speak, and he was completely in a coma for longer and longer. ”

Lu Tong's face was sad, and listening to Lu Shen's calm narration at this moment, he still had palpitations.

Xue Huaiyi didn't care about comforting his old friend, his brows furrowed slightly, and he continued to ask, "Is there anything strange when you wake up?" How do you feel when you wake up? ”

Lu Tong said slowly: "The little nephew doesn't know why he woke up, as if he just fell asleep. As for the little nephew's body after waking up, he recovered quickly, but he couldn't remember a lot of past events. ”

He didn't hide the details, on the one hand, out of trust in Lu Tong, and on the other hand, he himself wanted to find out the root cause of the original owner's infection.

If he was really sick, if he was poisoned, as he had guessed, he had to be on guard—and he had to do something for the original owner.

Xue Huaiyi bowed slightly, and then said, "Old man, let's help you diagnose your pulse first." ”

Lu Shen got up and walked over, hunched slightly and stretched out his hand, Xue Huaiyi stretched out three fingers and listened carefully to his pulse.

After a while, he greeted Lu Shen, and then said to Lu Tong: "Don't worry, Brother Xian, Ling Lang has fully recovered, and there are no hidden worries in his body. ”

Lu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and asked again, "Brother Shi, what is the cause of his strange illness?" ”

Xue Huaiyi glanced at Lu Shen, who had a calm expression, and hesitated: "Brother Xian, has the Lu family had any grudges with others in the past few years?" ”

Lu Tong was stunned, and then he comprehended the deep meaning of the other party's words, shook his head and said: "Brother Shi should know the temperament of the foolish brother, and he has always paid attention to being kind to others and making money. The Lu family does have business rivals, such as the Gu family firm in Guangling City, and there have been some conflicts over the years. However, these are all common trivial things in the business field, so it shouldn't get to this point, right? ”

The further back he went, the more hesitant his tone became.

Since ancient times, wealth has moved people's hearts, and the prosperity of the Lu family will inevitably squeeze and encroach on the interests of others.

Xue Huaiyi sighed lightly: "Actually, I'm not completely sure, but the appearance of the disease of the virtuous nephew, especially the symptoms in the early and middle stages, reminds me of a past event many years ago." ”

Lu Tong Zhengse said: "Brother Shi, please speak." ”

"More than 30 years ago, I was well-known in the old capital for my medical skills, and I was favored by the Tai Hospital at that time, so I was accepted into the door. But I didn't go to the hospital to do anything, because I didn't want to walk on thin ice all day to treat your nobles. Perhaps thanks to the care of my ancestors, or the protection of the Xue clan in Jiangnan, I finally achieved my wish. Not only can you learn medical skills from your ancestors, but you can also continue to practice medicine among the people, cough cough ...... Don't be surprised by virtuous nephews, people are a little verbose when they are old. ”

Xue Huaiyi looked at Lu Shen and smiled apologetically.

Lu Shen said respectfully: "It's an honor for my little nephew to be able to listen to Shibo talk about the past. ”

Xue Huaiyi nodded with satisfaction, and then went straight to the point: "When I studied the strange diseases in the world with my ancestors, he once talked about a strange poison called soul locking incense. The poison is made from dozens of strange materials that can turn poisoned people into the living dead, and most doctors have no cause of it. The patient is only unconscious on the surface, but in fact, his vitality is passing away until he is completely cut off. ”

Lu Tong gasped.

Lu Shen's expression also became solemn.

Lu Tong asked in a deep voice: "Brother Shi, who knows how to develop this poison?" ”

Xue Huaiyi shook his head slightly, and said ashamedly: "I have been practicing medicine for decades, and I have never really seen this kind of poison, and everything I know is the words of the ancestor back then." He never said the origin of this soul-locking incense or the method of salvation, but only told me as an anecdote. By the way, the ancestor said that the soul lock incense has a strong taste, even if it is mixed in the dish, it will be noticed, and it must be accompanied by spirits to be silent. ”

Indulge in a drunken restaurant...... Banquet......

These words quickly appeared in the minds of the father and son, and Lu Tong's eyes were awe-inspiring, and he said coldly: "Sure enough, someone is murdering!" ”

Lu Shen raised his eyes to look at him.

Xue Huaiyi sighed: "It's a pity that I wasn't in the Northland at the time, if I can see the symptoms of my nephew with my own eyes, I should be able to confirm whether I am poisoned." At the moment, I can only speculate, and I am about six or seven percent sure. ”

Lu Shen knew in his heart that no matter what era it was, it was impossible for a doctor to be too full of words, Xue Huaiyi said that he was six or seven percent sure, but in fact, he could basically determine that the original owner had been poisoned by the strange poison called Soul Locking Incense.

Lu Tong pressed the anger in his heart, and said to Xue Huaiyi: "Fortunately, there is a world brother to solve the doubts, otherwise the foolish brother will always be kept in the dark." It's just that this poison is so fierce that it will ...... in the future."

Xue Huaiyi said with relief: "Virtuous brother, don't panic. According to the ancestor master, this soul-locking incense is quite cumbersome to make, the required materials are not easy to find, and the means of poisoning are very simple, so you only need to be careful in the future, and you don't have to worry too much. ”

Lu Tong gratefully agreed.

After a while, Xue Huaiyi got up to say goodbye, and Lu Tong and Lu Shen were sent outside the mansion.

The two of them immediately returned, and Lu Tong said in a low voice: "Father will immediately send someone to the Pseudo-Yan Tieshan City to find out the restaurant and the relevant people who hosted the banquet for you." ”

Lu Shen felt a warmth in his heart, and said calmly: "Father, I think that Gu family in the city can also be tempted a little. ”

The father and son looked at each other, and Lu Tong nodded and said, "Okay." ”
