Chapter 4 Substitution of cannon fodder

Old grandmother, she actually believes in herself like this! Yuan Xi's heart was sour, in this life and this life, she will never let her grandmother down.

Aunt Yu didn't drink much, and after pouring two bowls of medicine, she was much better. The old lady saw that Aunt Yu was sleeping peacefully, and asked someone to feed Cheng Yong two bowls.

You Shi muttered in his heart, in the past, he only knew that the third lady could identify antiques, when did she learn to detoxify and cure diseases? The old man of the clan was ashamed of having no place to stay, and he refused to let go of his head, and said with a cold face: "I don't care about the affairs in this house in the future, I will leave it to the third lady, and I will be happy to be idle." ”

Wei Dongshu listened to the old words of the clan with thorns, and hurriedly gave Yuan Xi a look, signaling her to make amends to the clan elder. Although Yuan Xi was reluctant in his heart, his face was still respectful: "Clan Elder, you have praised it falsely, there is one more thing at the moment, except for you, Clan Elder, no one dares to be the master." ”

The clan elder snorted: "I'm an old man who is about to die, and I have also become the master of your third young lady?"

"The eldest brother's medicine is poisonous, and Ma Tianshi accused Yuan Xi of restraining the eldest brother, which is obviously someone who wants to kill the eldest brother, and then plant the death of the eldest brother to Yuan Xi. ”

Before Yuan Xi's words fell, he only heard a sound of the door panel, and everyone followed the voice, it turned out that Dr. Li was in a hurry to get out and hit the door panel carelessly. After all, it's in the Wei family, and you can't run far. After only a cup of tea, Dr. Li was tied back and knelt in the hall with Ma Tianshi.

This time, all the people came, except for Aunt Yu and Cheng Yong who were still resting, the big and small people of the Wei Mansion gathered. Aunt Zheng rubbed her eyes, followed by her pair of daughters, the eldest in line, named Yuan Yue, who was a character with a cold personality and a deep sense of the city. The small one is the fourth, named Yuan Jie, and he is the most greedy and cheap lewd.

Aunt Zheng was never blind, and complained: "What's the matter, I was taking a nap and called people up." What's the matter, the old lady will be in charge soon?" Yuan Yue tugged at her sleeve and motioned for her to stop. Only then did Zheng see the old lady's solemn eyes, and he closed his mouth knowingly.

Cheng Zhen, the second young master born to the You family, stood beside the clan elder, with a flat gold robe and a transparent imperial green jade pendant. A domineering face, a balkama kid who is alive. Cheng Zhen saw that Yuanxi had also entered the hall, and laughed loudly: "What's the matter, third sister, it shouldn't be that you are causing some trouble again, right?"

You Shi pretended to pull Cheng Zhen's sleeve and reprimanded: "Shut up, what do you know? This time, the third young lady has made a great contribution, and she can see at a glance that your eldest brother's medicine is poisonous, and she also saved your Aunt Yu and your eldest brother by decocting the medicine with her own hands, you still haven't learned a little!"

She deliberately bit the words "see at a glance" very hard. Yuanxi knew in his heart that this was not a compliment at all, and it was difficult to guarantee for the clan elder It meant something else: If you Wei Yuanxi didn't have a ghost in your heart, how would you know that the medicine was poisonous, and if you didn't get it, you would still be a thief shouting to catch the thief, first poisoning, and then detoxifying, just to gain a good reputation.

Yuan Xi sneered: "Aunt You praised it falsely, that is, Hua Tuo is alive, and he can't see whether there is poison in the medicine at a glance." I just guessed based on my eldest brother's illness. ”

You Shi followed Yuan Xi's words and continued: "No, if it weren't for this damn quack, the eldest young master wouldn't have to suffer so many crimes." It's just a matter of cheating money, and now even human lives are daring. In the future, I don't dare to go to the doctor to see a doctor, if I don't pay attention to offend him, I don't know how to die. ”

Although You Shi's words sounded like a complaint, they were actually a warning, telling Dr. Li not to pay attention to confessing himself, otherwise he would definitely die a bad death. Dr. Li is a smart person, so he naturally understands. Yuan Xi was unhappy in his heart, and after You Shi's warning, Dr. Li was afraid that he would not say anything.

Wei Dongshu coughed twice and asked Dr. Li: "The dog has no grievances with you, who wants you to prescribe such a prescription to harm people? ! If you don't say it, you will be sent to see the official directly!"

Dr. Li has experienced strong winds and waves, and such words have no deterrent effect on him at all. He stroked his beard: "Master Wei's question is wrong, you can look at the prescription I prescribed, where is the flavor of aconitum grass? Your Wei Mansion did catch the medicine in my pharmacy, but in the middle, a package of medicine, how many people handle it, anyone can fill in some things at will, why do you say that I added aconite?"

Wei Dongshu was stunned for a moment, what he said was reasonable, even if it was really his poison, he couldn't come up with evidence at this time. I had to ask Ma Tianshi, but Ma Tianshi seemed to have made an appointment, and he was also a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, and he bit to death without anyone to instruct.

Yuan Xi sneered: "Why bother, Master Ma Tianshi, I advise you to recruit from the truth, you can't compare with Doctor Li." People are Xinglin masters, and you are the ninth rate. In our Great Chu country, medical practitioners are exempt from kneeling when they go to the court, but when you go to the public court, not only can you not be exempted from kneeling, but you also have to be beaten first. ”

Ma Tianshi played a gong and drum in his heart, Yuan Xi told the truth, if he was sent to the official mansion, he would be beaten half to death before he was safekept, and if he did not admit his guilt, he would be beaten again. Of course, Dr. Li can be calm, he doesn't have to worry about his ass at all!

Ma Tianshi glanced at Yuan Xi aggrievedly, and said uneasily: "Someone gave me ten taels of silver and two pieces of silk, and the words of the third lady who knew how to conquer people were also taught by her." ”

"Who?—who gave you the money?" asked the old lady.

Ma Tianshi looked around, and sure enough, the person who gave him the silver was not among them, and he shook his head. Yuan Xi's heart tightened, You Shi was really cunning!

Zheng watched the play for a long time on the side, and when he saw that the spearhead turned to You Shi, he was interested for a while, and interjected: "Don't you understand this?

The Zheng family is the most wall-to-wall grass, and he is jealous of the You family's stewardship on weekdays. At this time, he saw that You Shi was going to do something bad, so he added oil and vinegar. Hearing her words, tears fell in tears: "Who is Sister Zheng talking about? Could it be that I want to hurt others? Even if I want to hurt people, I can't make such a lie, and it is clear that someone wants to harm me." Let's sisters, if you don't defend me, you just say such things to humiliate me!"

Seeing You Shi crying, Zheng panicked for a while, and Yuan Yue hurriedly stepped forward to comfort You Shi and played a round for his mother. You knelt in front of the clan elder and cried: "Clan elder, old lady, although my You clan has no ability, but I am also conscientious for this family, and I dare not cause any trouble." Now that such a thing has happened in the family, if I don't find out, I don't have the face to continue to be this family. ”

Yuan Jia saw his mother crying, and also knelt in front of Wei Dongshu to cry, and Cheng Zhen also knelt down: "Ask the clan elder, grandmother will investigate this matter thoroughly, and give my mother justice!"

Yuan Xi looked at you coldly for a while, helped You Shi up, and asked Ma Tianshi again: "You said that someone gave you ten taels of silver and two pieces of silk, let me ask you, where is the silk?"

You Shi panicked, his body trembled, and Yuan Xi warned in a low voice: "Auntie, be careful of your step." ”

Ma Tianshi took out a pawn ticket from his pocket and offered it with both hands: "The silk was taken by me as two taels of silver, and it was a job." The third lady asked someone to take the silver. ”

Yuan Xi brought a cup of tea to You Shi, told her to moisten her throat, and said with a smile: "This is easy to do, silver can't speak, but silk can speak." Let them redeem their money with money, and see where the silk is, and it will be finished."

Wei Dongshu hurriedly sent someone to the Yongan pawnshop in the east of the city to redeem the silk. This is Song Jin with two peony flower patterns, which is an old object from two years ago, and Ma Tianshi does not know the goods, so the pawnshop owner dares to take two taels of silver to deceive people.

When Aunt Zheng saw this Song Jin, she suddenly came to her senses and said with a smile: "I said Sister You, isn't this something from your room? You also gave me two horses two years ago, and I still keep them." ”

You Shi's eyes lit up, and he secretly screamed that he had made a mistake, and at that time he just wanted to take some old things that no one recognized to send Ma Tianshi, but he forgot that he had given this thing to someone. She pretended to touch it blankly, and asked Zhao's mother again: "Isn't this our thing, how can it be in the hands of this cheap thing?"

Mother Zhao has been an old man who has been with You Shi for many years, and she reacted quickly, as soon as You Shi asked, she hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed a few times: "Auntie, auntie, you spare me, it's all my care." These two Song Jin horses were lost a month ago, because they were old goods at the bottom of the box, the slave thought you had forgotten, and they didn't report it for fear that you would pursue it. I didn't expect it to be stolen by someone to do this!"

What a double reed!

The clan elder made a round: "Since I lost it a month ago, it doesn't prove anything." I think that's the end of it. Doctor Li and Ma Tianshi were tied up and sent to the government, and the lawsuit was handed over to You Shi to take care of. I'm tired, so let's all disperse. ”

It is the first time that such a blatant cover for You's family. It's no wonder that a person with such a good face as the clan elder will not admit it even if he finds out that he has been tricked by the You clan. What's more, he may really think that someone is framing You!

Yuan Xi didn't speak, Yuan Jia snorted arrogantly, and helped You Shi out of the Hua Hall. Zheng stood up stupidly and went back with his two daughters. Wei Dongshu didn't say anything more, and ordered his subordinates to take Dr. Li and Ma Tianshi away.

Dr. Li suddenly broke free and slammed into a pillar, with a thud, and blood splattered everywhere. A clear crunch was heard, the sound of a skull shattering. Like a dead fish, he slowly slid to the ground, out of breath. The fortune teller Ma Tianshi saw a dead man for the first time, and he was so frightened that he fainted directly.

The grandmother was startled and covered Won-hee's eyes with her hand. There was a burst of warmth in Yuan Xi's heart, followed by a burst of cold, and Dr. Li would rather commit suicide than tell the truth, which shows that You must have some means to restrain him. You Shi is not so easy to deal with, and in the days to come, it will be frightening step by step.
