The news of Qian Jinxian's critical illness secretly reached Li Ruzhi's ears, and he was really shocked when he heard it, and immediately blocked the news temporarily, and even Sima Wei did not report it. Because Qian Jinxian, as the richest man in the area of Jiqing Road, his terminal illness will not only affect the government, but also bring panic to many people with the property under his name.

At noon that day, Li Ruzhi hurried to the Qian Mansion, and in order to avoid tongue-in, he deliberately took a few officials who handled the case quietly from the back door. On the couch, Li Ruzhi saw Qian Jinxian who was dying, he was unconscious at the moment, his wife and the old housekeeper were washing their faces with tears on the side, seeing this situation, Li Ruzhi knew that Qian Jinxian was very likely to not survive tonight; this sudden bad news made Li Ruzhi very worried, once Qian Jinxian fell, it would be related to the economic lifeline of the entire Jiqing Mansion, he immediately sent the official to investigate, and comforted Zhang Yumei a few words, Li Ruzhi quickly left the Qian Mansion.

Soon, the official who handled the case learned through Lang Zhong's mouth that Qian Jinxian's illness was caused by edible poison, which was violent, and could make people's internal organs show signs of decline within a few hours, and the official found the remnants of the poison in a medicine bowl of Qian Jinxian, and then found the same traces in the kitchen stove. In this way, the matter is obvious, the spearhead of this poisoner is directly aimed at Xu Wenwen himself, Li Ruzhi was informed, and immediately sent the official uniform to arrest Xu Wenwen in the entire Jiqing Mansion. In addition, he had to go to Sima Wei's residence in person, this matter was urgent, Sima Wei, as the ambassador of the Qin Mission, had official affairs with Qian Jinxian, and he had to be honest with the truth.

At the same time, Qian Xiu'er took Xu Wenwen to the Qian Mansion in the heavy rain, and the two were full of hope, hoping that Qian Jinxian would change his mind, but where did Qian Xiu'er know at this moment that his father was dying. As soon as the two of them entered the mansion, the slaves who had already been prepared around rushed towards Xu Wenwen and tied him up with a sturdy five-flower, Qian Xiu'er looked at the leading old housekeeper suspiciously, and asked anxiously: "Uncle Wang, why is this so?

Seeing that the eldest lady was still in the dark, the old housekeeper explained the ins and outs of everything clearly, and said: "Although Xu Wenwen's charges have not been settled, he is now the most suspicious, and he must be locked up before the official uniform comes." ”

Qian Xiu'er was so anxious that when she heard that her father was in danger, and saw Xu Wenwen being tied up with five flowers, she didn't know what to do for a while.

Xu Wenwen argued and said: "I didn't poison me, Xiu'er, you have to believe me, how could I go to harm my uncle! Someone must have framed me!"

"Come, take him down. The old housekeeper gave an order, and several slaves forcibly dragged Xu Wenwen away.

Xu Wenwen struggled while looking at the stunned Qian Xiu'er, and shouted: "Xiu'er, it's not me who poisoned you! You must believe me! Xiu'er ......"

"Miss, the master is still in a coma, go and take a look, the lady has fainted many times!"

"Dad!" Qian Xiu'er woke up like a dream and ran anxiously towards the inner courtyard.

In the evening, Qian Mansion was immersed in a silent atmosphere, Qian Xiu'er and her mother-in-law Zhang Yumei stayed in Qian Jinxian's bedroom, the two hugged each other and cried, what happened next was unknown to the two of them, at this moment, Qian Jinxian's fingers touched slightly, and his pale lips said softly: "Yumei." ”

Seeing that Qian Jinxian finally woke up, the two of them immediately came up, Zhang Yumei held his right hand tightly, and choked up: "Master, you finally woke up!"

Qian Jinxian blinked his eyes, as if his words were very difficult, he weakly took Qian Xiu'er's little hand beside him, and spit out word by word: "Xiu'er, Dad has figured it out, Dad promised you not to let you marry that Sima Wei, as long as you are obedient, don't leave Dad." ”

Qian Xiu'er was already full of tears, she cried and nodded: "Xiu'er won't leave Daddy, Daddy will get better soon." ”

At this time, the old housekeeper Wang Bo pushed the door in, watching the owner wake up, he was not excited, he looked at Zhang Yumei and immediately said: "Madam, Sima Gongzi and Master Li have arrived, do you want them to meet the master?"

"Invite them in. After Zhang Yumei finished speaking, she gently attached herself to Qian Jinxian's ear and said, "Master, Master Sima and Master Li have come to visit you, I will help Master sit up." ”

Qian Jinxian nodded, suddenly remembered something, and said weakly: "Yumei, I have prepared three million taels of silver in Qianzhuang, and you will transfer it to Sima Gongzi in a while, and our family will be safe and sound." In addition, you must keep the title deed and deposit certificate of the shop, and let her inherit it when Xiu'er gets married in the future. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Yumei cried more and more sadly, Qian Jinxian knew that his life would not be long in coming, and these words were obviously explaining the future. After a while, Sima Wei and Li Ruzhi walked in under the leadership of the old housekeeper, and when Sima Wei saw Qian Jinxian on the sickbed, he stepped forward emotionally and pressed his arm, comforting: "Lingtang can rest at ease, and you must not abandon your faith, so that you can defeat the disease!"

Qian Jinxian shook his head, and said with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth: "I know that I have no power to return to heaven, so why should my son comfort Qian." ”

Everyone was speechless, but the fact was as Qian Jinxian said, there is no solution to the poison in his body at present, Li Ruzhi said frankly to everyone at this time: "Sima Gongzi and I worked together to investigate, we found that the poison in Brother Qian is Gu poison, this kind of Gu poison is fierce and ferocious, it is made of a highly poisonous spider eggs pounded into powder, once ingested, it penetrates the internal organs in an instant, sucks up the essence and blood and dies. ”

After hearing this, several people felt extremely frightened, and Zhang Yumei said angrily: "I didn't expect this Xu Wenshu to be so vicious in his heart, and he actually gave the master a trick by being courteous!"

"When I entered the mansion, I had already sent someone to interrogate Xu Wenwen, and this person would first be handed over to the official for strict interrogation, and then give Mrs. an explanation. Li Ruzhi said.

"No, I don't believe that Brother Wen would do such a rebellious thing, mother, you can't arrest him!" Qian Xiu'er hugged Zhang Yumei and begged bitterly.

"Miss, this matter is very clear, and you and I are very clear in our hearts. The reason why Xu Wenwen did this was because Ling Tang married Miss to me, and he hated it, so he poisoned Ling Tang's medicine, how can you excuse the enemy!"

"That's not the case, Brother Clerical said, he was framed, Uncle Li, you can't arrest him!" Qian Xiu'er excitedly stopped the door of the house.

"Who would frame a poor boy who is useless and destitute? Xu Wenwen is despicable and insidious, his heart is like a poisonous snake, if Lingtang really has three longs and two shorts, it is not a pity for this kid to die a hundred times!" Sima Wei pretended to look sad and indignant, which caused everyone to be even more angry when they heard this.

"Don't say anything, leave this matter to Master Li. You all stand aside for the time being, I have something to say to Sima Gongzi alone. Qian Jinxian had a splitting headache, the Gu poison in his body was eroding his essence and blood, he was powerless to investigate the initiator behind the scenes, at this moment he just wanted to take advantage of his breath and deal with the aftermath cleanly.
