She fell out after crying at the wrong grave
Chapter 51: Counterforce
Duan Can and his deputy general stood beside Wei Guohui, one on the left and one on the right. The outstanding feature of the marching soldiers was their awe-inspiring presence without even getting angry.
Wei Guohui's throat was dry and he couldn't utter a word.
If it was just servants guarding the place, there wouldn't be many people, but the craftsmen he brought with him often did the heavy work, and some of them had served as centurions in the army, so they could be considered capable of doing the job.
But now there is a huge crowd in front of them, surrounding them tightly. If they really take action, I am afraid they will die as easily as ants.
It was all because of the boss who was desperate and tried all kinds of methods. No one knew where he got the news from, but Wei Guohui came here full of confidence.
Now, we have been caught in a trap and we don’t know how this will end.
After a moment of stalemate, Yun Cong quietly stood behind A'an.
Seeing that he was free to come out, I thought it was nothing serious. Ah Yi turned around and looked at Yun Cong, and he really bowed his head to indicate.
In this case, Ah'an looked at the situation below and suddenly had other ideas in her mind.
"Master Duan, forget it." She walked down the stairs and lifted her skirt lightly.
On the ground were the tea leaves that Wei Guohui had just spit out, covered in dust just like his fate at this moment, at the mercy of others.
"Wei Gongcao is an official, how can we resort to violence?" The token that dispatched all the elite light cavalry soldiers in Kezhou was twirled between Ah's fingertips like a toy. "Since Wei Gongcao said there is something important, let's go and take a look."
Wei Guohui felt something was wrong.
"The military orders are in my hands. Naturally, I have the final say on today's matter. Yuncong, go get the horse."
Ah's eyes were fixed on Wei Guohui's every move. Her official robe was wrinkled in her hands, and she looked like she was sure something was wrong.
Wei Guohui was obviously more restrained in her speech as she sat next to the two big men. "Madam, the things in the engineering department are all about blueprints. As a woman, I'm afraid..."
Duan Can glared at him, and Wei Guohui had to swallow the unpleasant words that followed.
After being forced to retreat a few steps, Wei Guohui could no longer sit on the original sedan chair pole.
Times have changed. Now it was Ah-yi who sat down calmly. "Why, do you look down on me? You came to my young master in a hurry just for money. Now you should go and ask around. I, Shui Changdong, earned three hundred taels from Zhang Hai's full-moon banquet, including the remuneration. The annual salary of Gong Cao is only a hundred taels."
Wei Guohui avoided looking around and was at a loss as to what to do.
"Or," Ah-yi suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you have any other plans?"
The soldiers on both sides held their weapons forward, forcing them to take a few steps closer.
As the saying goes, others are the butchers and I am the meat. Under the pressure at this moment, Wei Guohui had no choice but to give in and make way for the weapons.
Yunli and his group stayed in the house and did not act casually.
Ah-yi held the reins, sat firmly on the saddle, and looked back at them. This look had different meanings for Yunli, Yuncong, and Zhao.
Zhao had a complicated look on her face as she recalled the conversation she had had with the new lady, who was shrouded in mystery.
Perhaps some of the things she did were just fun in Cui Yi's eyes.
Yes, he was able to avoid her eyes and go to East Street to sit in court openly every day, and he deliberately did not expose the surveillance. How could Cui Yi not know her complicated thoughts?
Cui Yi and the young marquis see each other every day, and I'm afraid the young marquis must be aware of what's going on.
Yun Cong deliberately stood at the door for a while. As the group of people gradually went away, he saw a man running away stealthily on the second floor across the street.
Walking across the long corridor bridge, Yun Cong's clothes were blown by the wind. He needed to go back and tell Hengzhi this news immediately.
The doctor Gong we invited this morning was introduced by Shopkeeper Wu, a famous doctor who lived in seclusion. It was said that he would save people based on his mood, but because he had some friendship with Shopkeeper Wu, he was brought into the courtyard without even having time to wash his face.
The reason for agreeing to rescue was very casual, it was to see the small mountain and water scenery in the yard.
This is very consistent with Chu Qingfang's aesthetic.
Chu Qingfang had been sent here by Zheng Da a long time ago. He was in a very bad mood and was not willing to talk to anyone.
After locking himself up for a day, he suddenly noticed a lot of noise in the yard. He went out to see that Hengzhi had half his arm covered in blood and was being carried back by someone.
Even the gravel path was covered with blood from his fingertips.
After Doctor Gong asked this, Chu Qingfang finally understood that Hengzhi was injured by bandits when he was rescuing her and her daughter. The blade was stained with poison, which caused the wound to fester and be difficult to heal, resulting in the man falling into a coma and having a high fever.
The instigator of all this was He Yong, who had watched her grow up since she was a child.
This poison comes from a rhizome plant on the Youbei grassland that only grows roots but no leaves. It has a nice name, called the wood of immortality.
In order to protect itself from being eaten by horses, cattle and sheep on the grassland, it first degenerates into branches and leaves, and then produces toxins. If people eat it by mistake, they usually become paralyzed and faint, and soon die of multiple organ failure.
The wood of longevity only grows in autumn and winter. People in the north lacked medical care and medicine, so they used it to make Ma Fei San.
Because they believe that the gods will take away all the tribesmen who are suffering from illness and give them eternal life in peace, just like the people who died from the longevity tree, they hardly feel any pain, so it got this name.
Gong Sheng stroked his long beard and took the patient's pulse for a long time before he came up with a solution. "If you want to suppress the toxicity in a short period of time, there are some simple and feasible methods."
Hengzhi's right hand was numb, and the poison of the immortal wood was beginning to spread. Hearing this, he frowned and said in a deep voice, "Sir, do you mean that there is no antidote for this poison?"
I dare not say anything to the people in the room, but Yunli's face suddenly turned pale, and he could no longer hold the things in his hands. "Hey!" Seeing that he had misunderstood, Gong Sheng quickly explained, "Young man, why are you so pessimistic? I said it's hard to solve it in a short time, but I didn't say it can't be solved, right?"
At this time, Hengzhi's high fever was still persisting. He finally relaxed and leaned back on the soft pillow behind him.
Just at that moment, he even thought about how to write a suicide note and ask someone to take care of Ah-yi.
They must be destined not to be together in this life. In order to prevent her from sighing less, the two IOUs he has will be burned to ashes after his death.
I couldn't even tell her in person not to sleep with a fan in her hands, what if she hit someone?
Ah-yi would definitely show a panicked expression, just like the shiny rabbit in the yard. If you stand behind it, it will run away in fear.
This is a matter of fate, and I must tell her when I am happy and joyful. I feel so emotional, it turns out that there is some fate between them.
Instead, she cried until her eyes were red and swollen, which only added to her sadness.
Maybe she would cry, just as hard as she used to cry at funerals when she was paid.
Hengzhi thought that he would definitely give A'an a lot of money.
Seeing the helpless and desolate smile suddenly on the patient's face, Gong Sheng felt a little uneasy. Didn't he say that it could detoxify? Why was he smiling so detachedly?
At such a young age, have you already seen through the world?
Gong Sheng's method of suppression is to bleed, which is straightforward. Since the immortal wood spreads its poison by paralyzing the nerves, the best way is to prevent it from spreading.
"The blood is poisonous. Besides, as long as the person is awake, he will not be paralyzed." Gong Sheng smiled and put a two-finger-wide silver knife into the stunned Yun Cheng's hand.
Whether you hear this at first or later, it seems unreliable.
Is this person really a miracle doctor?
"Then, if the bloodletting continues, how can people endure it?" Yun Cheng asked anxiously.
Gong Sheng has already started packing up the medicine box. "Why are you panicking? He's in good health. What's wrong with letting out some blood? I'll prescribe a warming and nourishing prescription, and he can take it according to the dosage."
Hengzhi's eyes swept across Yuncheng coldly, as if he was very dissatisfied with his underestimation of his physique.
When Gong Sheng was sent out through the back door, the cheers of Duan Can and his men at the front door just happened to reach the room.
"I am very curious about what happened to Wei Guohui today. Now let's wait for good news from your wife." Hengzhi's gaze was cast into the distance like a rock, and it seemed unclear in the white mist of the hot soup.
Yun Cheng was puzzled, "Are you so sure that Madam will force Wei Gongcao to go to the new training ground?"
"Of course." Heng Zhi answered decisively, "From the beginning to the end, Wei Guohui's intentions were in her sight. She could not only avenge her personal grudge, but also earn a reputation and make some money. Killing two birds with one stone, isn't that exactly what she wants?"
At the end, his voice rose slightly, and there was even a hint of pride in his voice.
However, the two of them were truly on the same path, destined to be together. Even if they didn't have time to communicate with each other, they could still understand each other's thoughts.
Ah'an felt quite happy standing in front of the ruins of the new parade ground.
When Wei Guohui took over the project, Ah-yi knew that problems would arise one day. Unexpectedly, problems began to arise for Heng-chih before the construction had even started for long.
Liu Jingming and Wei Guohui were obviously in the same group. If Wei Guohui and his master could be eliminated, Liu Jingming would not be able to escape.
By then, with the reputation he has accumulated and the good impression he has left on Zhang Hai, the Chamber of Commerce will re-elect the chief manager. Even if he cannot take the position, he can still push Zhang Hai up.
Zhang Hai was a loser who only cared about his fame and fortune. He was unaware of the conspiracy behind Wei Guohui and the others, and he was resentful because he was always suppressed by Liu Jingming.
He is the best candidate.
Given his level of servility, when the time comes and he has saved enough money he will ask Hengzhi to help build a school, and at the same time reopen the charity hall and charity cemetery of Yuanwailang, and send his son there to study without paying tuition. Zhang Hai will be so happy.
Thinking in this way, A'ao had already made a plan to beat Wei Guohui into pieces.
The armory collapsed the most severely. After the foundation sank, the wood fell down with it.
Houses are usually built with fir or pine wood as the top beams, which are relatively solid. However, all of these fir wood debris were broken to varying degrees, and the pine wood on the top beam was split in the middle, revealing a sharp and uneven wooden structure.
Ah'an took a few steps closer and was about to pick up a handful of crumbs to examine.
Before she could even stretch out her hand, she was stopped by a craftsman next to her, "Madam, be careful, this thing is very prickly, let me check it out."
Ah'ao could see the guilty look clearly at a single glance.
"It's okay. I was born in a poor family and I'm not that spoiled." Knowing that they were her subordinates and wouldn't dare to stop her at will, Ah'ao reached out her hand again, and her movements were much faster.
"Wait a minute!" Wei Guohui was anxious now.
He had not intended to report the incident today, and had gone there to sell dog meat under the guise of selling sheep meat, without dealing with the ruins in advance. And all the way, Lieutenant General Duan and his men watched closely, and there was no chance to report the news, so they could only watch the wife of the Marquis of Zhao walk straight to the armory.
A large part of the martial arts stage in front collapsed, but who would have thought that she didn't even look at it, it was as if she was helped by God.
If he didn't stop her now, he would probably lose his official hat and his head and be thrown into jail.
The master behind him will not come to rescue him.
