After all, he had been in business for many years. When he learned that someone had deliberately poisoned him, Xue Dafu quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly to the young man: "Thank you, the miracle doctor, for letting me know, but I don't know who is here yet." He poisoned me behind my back and asked the miracle doctor to keep this secret for me and not tell anyone."

The young man glanced sideways at Xue Dafu.

He came to see Xue Dafu just because the medical fee he paid was extremely high. As for the intrigues and dirty things behind the illness, he didn't want to get involved at all.

The young man nodded casually, which was considered as an agreement, but he didn't know that what he said casually on a whim just now would cause an uproar.

After sending the boy away, Xue Dafu lay restless on the bed, constantly wondering who would harm him behind his back?

Over the years, he has offended many people, but being able to lurk in his own home and use Qi Yiniang's incident to hide his true purpose of poisoning him shows that the other party's scheming and ability are both indispensable.

This alone can eliminate most of the concubines in his backyard.

Xue Dafu's mind was spinning rapidly, analyzing the most likely candidates in his mind.

The first targets of suspicion fell on the two new outsiders who had recently arrived in the house - Lu Yan and Shen Ruoyan.

Lu Yan was the wife he invited on his own initiative.

After their family moved to Yangluocheng, several of the teachers who taught little Jinbao ran away in anger.

Xue Dafu was carrying a cargo box on his back at the age of 14 and running around the streets for a living. Like all parents who did not read much, he was particularly interested in the education of his children. By chance, he heard that a master named Yan Fu was very interested in education. Young children are very clever, and they suddenly feel like they have found a treasure.

At that time, he personally brought gifts to visit and persuaded her to come to her home.

Because he is the master who teaches his precious son, Xue Dafu naturally attaches great importance to it. He specially asked someone to investigate Yan Fu, and it was confirmed that this person had an innocent background. He had participated in the hospital examination and passed the exam, but his family was poor and he had no connections. He found an official position in the state capital and continued to make a living as a teacher.

Xue Dafu sighed, there should be nothing suspicious about Yan Fu.

As for the woman named Shen, it was Xiao Jinbao who depended on her for life and death, and Xue Dafu forced her to pay her to stay.

During the days when Shen Ruoyan lived in the mansion, Xue Dafu also asked people to pay attention to her whereabouts. He found that she kept to herself and was particularly concerned about little Jinbao, so he was no longer wary of her.

In addition, she is just a woman, so she shouldn't be able to pull off any big tricks.

But there seems to be nothing wrong with these two people, but besides them, who else in this family wants to poison him?

What is the purpose of that person?

Xue Dafu turned over and frowned more and more. He had accumulated a fortune in his life, and there were naturally many jealous people. But if he was really poisoned to death, the wealth would not necessarily fall into that person's hands. , what on earth did that person do for?

Xue Dafu tapped the bed board with his palms. He suddenly remembered that he told Xue Jinbao the formula for the ledger yesterday, and a guess came into his mind - could that person actually be here for the ledger?

When he thought of this possibility, Xue Dafu was so shocked that he sat up from the bed.

That account book is more important than his own life. As long as the account book is still there, it can ensure that his descendants will enjoy endless wealth. But if the contents of that account book are known to others, it will not only be him, but also their whole family. The lives of everyone, young and old, will be in the hands of others.

Xue Dafu hurriedly got up from the bed. Although he felt much better after the injection given by the young man, he was still very weak after being sick for so long. As soon as he stood up, he felt dizzy and almost fell down. on the ground.

"Master, please be careful, master." Seeing this, the two servants rushed forward and supported Xue Dafu on the left and right.

"Get out! Who asked you to come here? Get out of here, no one is allowed in without my permission!" Xue Dafu was so anxious that he impatiently cursed the servant who kindly came to help him.

The servants were scolded inexplicably, but they did not dare to raise any objections. They carefully helped Xue Dafu to sit down on the bed and retreated respectfully.

Xue Dafu sat on the edge of the bed and took a few breaths. After all the servants in the room had exited, he held on to the bracket beside the bed and walked tremblingly to a shelf filled with various antiques.

He moved a hollow carved jade bottle away, and a gap about the length of a tiger's mouth appeared on the shelf. If you didn't look carefully, you would have thought it was an ordinary gap on the bookshelf.

Xue Dafu took out the jade pendant hanging around his neck, adjusted the position and stuffed the jade pendant into the gap. He heard a soft "click" sound, and something seemed to be activated inside. The bookshelf slowly retreated, revealing a person. What a wide channel.

After doing these actions, Xue Dafu was so tired that he was sweating all over, but he kept the account book in mind and did not dare to rest at all. He walked into the secret passage step by step while holding on to the wall.

After rushing to a secret room, Xue Dafu skillfully opened the mezzanine hidden in the table and found that the account book he had been thinking about was lying intact inside. A big stone in his heart was finally relieved.

Xue Dafu let out a long sigh, slumped down on the chair in the secret room, and wiped the sweat from his head.

Is it really because I think too much?

In the dark secret room, Xue Dafu rested for a while before picking up the torch on the wall and lighting the oil lamp on the table.

He held both ends of the account book with both hands, carefully took out the account book and laid it flat on the table. Then he held a corner of the account book and counted carefully to page No. 17.

Xue Dafu took a deep breath, held his breath, and slowly opened the account book. When he saw that the page was clean, with only his familiar handwriting, Xue Dafu suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had been poured on him, and the blood all over his body All were frozen.

He is usually very careful, and he is even more attentive to this account book that contains all the secrets.

Afraid that someone would peek into the account book, he clamped a piece of his hair on page No. 17 of the account book. This strategy was not clever, but it was particularly useful in a darkened secret room.

There is no wind here, so your hair is less likely to be blown away. But now that the account book is empty, doesn't it mean that someone has peeked at the account book!

Xue Dafu was so angry that he was trembling all over. Not only did the man poison him and try to kill him, he even remembered his own account book!

If he is caught, he will be skinned alive and tortured using the most cruel methods in the world until he can neither survive nor die.
