After Shen Rong had breakfast early in the morning, she called Wang Qinglai.

"Brother Wang, there were thieves in the mansion last night."

Shen Rong didn't recognize the person who sneaked into the mansion last night and thought he was one of those second-rate guys from outside.

Wang Qing suddenly stood up from his chair.

"When? Why didn't I hear anything?"

Shen Rong thought about the time last night, "It was probably around the beginning of the night hour. The thief was scared away when he saw people."

Shen Rong didn't want to expose herself, so she kept silent about the fact that she had injured someone.

Wang Qing looked ashamed and said, "I was negligent."

Shen Rong didn't blame Wang Qing, "Our mansion is so big, and you only have eight people, and some of you have other tasks to do, so it's normal that you can't guard it.

I called you here so that you can take a few good hands to carefully check the wall inside and outside to see where the thief got in from."

After hearing what Shen Rong said, Wang Qing almost patted his chest and promised, "Madam, don't worry! I will check carefully and find the place."

After Wang Qing left, Shen Rong thought about it and decided to call Jiafu over.

In spring, roses are blooming and growing branches like crazy.

Jiafu was busy all day taking care of the flowers in the mansion.

There are so many flowers in Pingyang Marquis Mansion.

Not to mention anything else, even the circle of roses surrounding the outer wall, pruning the withered flowers and tidying up the branches and leaves, kept Jiafu too busy. Fortunately, the mansion assigned him a servant to help, so he felt a little more relaxed.

Hearing from his sister that Shen Rong was calling him, he quickly stopped what he was doing and went to the front yard.

Shen Rong waited for Jiafu to hold a banquet, and then said directly:

"Jiafu, check the roses on the wall carefully later to see if there is any part of the wall that is not lush enough or is missing. Then you can lead the others to make careful adjustments and try to make sure that all the walls are covered with rose pink branches, so that thieves who want to climb the wall will have no place to stand."

Shen Rong felt that the wall was covered with thorny plants, which might not be able to stop people with great martial arts skills, but it would be enough to stop ordinary thieves.

After hearing this, Jiafu looked at Shen Rong in surprise and immediately had a guess in his mind.

A thief sneaked into the house.

Jiafu thought so and asked the question that was in his mind.

"Madam, could it be that someone..."

Shen Rong nodded, "I thought that putting those branches on the wall would be of some use to ordinary people."

The wall of the marquis's mansion is at least nine feet high.

Such a high courtyard wall is not easy to climb over in the first place, and with the thorny branches on top of the wall, it becomes even more difficult for ordinary people to climb over the wall to get in.

Therefore, Shen Rong is quite confident about these soft and thorny branches.

Of course, if you encounter a martial arts master, no matter how high the wall is, it will not be able to stop him.

After receiving Shen Rong's instructions, Jiafu took his men and started a careful inspection inside the courtyard wall.

After they checked the wall inside and outside, Jiafu didn't find any place that had been stepped on, so he breathed a sigh of relief. However, he still led people and used ladders to pull the branches on the wall, trying to make the branches on the top of the wall so lush that people could not get their hands on them and there was nowhere to climb.

Wang Qing discovered traces of trampling on the side of the back room near the back street.

After Wang Qing told Shen Rong about his discovery, he suggested:

"The back rooms are low, which makes it easy for thieves to climb up. If we want to prevent this from happening, we should raise the house a few feet higher to prevent someone from climbing over the wall and entering the house from here again."

Shen Rong knew the row of back rooms that Wang Qing was talking about.

Such low rooms in the back are for servants to live in.

Although there are more servants in the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion now than when she first entered the mansion, the mansion covers a large area and has many houses. The back rooms in the front and back yards and the back houses in each courtyard cannot accommodate everyone.

Not to mention that there is a row of small courtyards in the back street for loyal servants with families.

Therefore, the back house near the back street that Wang Qing mentioned is always empty.

Without giving it much thought, Shen Rong decided to tear down the row of back rooms and directly build a high wall.

The space left after the demolition can be used to grow some things.

Shen Rong handed this matter over to Wang Qing.

Wang Qing was in charge of the security of the mansion and was extremely concerned about this matter. He called on bricklayers to start demolishing the wall that day.

In just one day, all the tiles on the roof and the inner walls were removed, leaving only the outer wall.

Then the bricklayers only needed to add a few feet to the original wall and then apply plaster on it, and the courtyard wall was completed.

This job is simple and can be done in less than three days.

Jiafu was a proactive person and he led people to plant a row of roses under the wall.

The newly planted roses are too small to achieve the same effect as those planted elsewhere.

Seeing this, Wang Qing led his men to dig a row of six-foot-wide deep trenches along the wall outside the flower bed in the corner. A lot of sharpened wood was inserted into the trenches. Only a few thin branches were placed on the trenches, and a thin layer of dry leaves was laid on the branches. Apart from looking a bit desolate, there was nothing to see.

Wang Qing was very satisfied with his masterpiece.

No matter how good the opponent is, as long as he jumps down, he will be hit.

When a thief broke into the Pingyang Marquis' Mansion, everyone, from the master to the servants, mobilized a large force to try to prevent the thief from climbing over the wall again.

Shen Rong had no idea that Yang Cheng was almost tortured to death by her weak spiritual power. How could he have the energy to climb over the wall?

On the first night after Yang Cheng was injured, he used an iron brand to stop the bleeding.

He originally thought that he would be fine after stopping the bleeding, but he did not expect that the wound would become more and more painful day by day. He took blood-replenishing medicine as meals, but he was still getting weaker day by day, and the injured area even emitted a faint foul odor.

Finally, Yang Cheng couldn't stand it anymore, so he called a doctor, removed the gauze, and tore off the layer of burnt flesh covering the wound with his own hands.

As soon as Yang Cheng tore open a hole in the burnt meat, a foul odor rushed to his forehead and Yang Cheng was almost suffocated.

Before he could do anything, a stream of yellow pus mixed with black blood gushed out.

The doctor who was about to treat General Yang's wound had a changed expression. "Not good, General Yang, your wound has worsened. It looks fine on the surface, but the flesh inside is rotten..."

As he said this, he took over Yang Cheng's job, peeling off the charred outer layer of flesh while squeezing out the pus and blood inside.

That’s not all. After three days, the meat inside had rotted again.

The doctor took the knife and started to clean the rotten flesh again.

This squeezing and clearing directly cost General Yang half his life.

"General Yang, the wound has been cleaned, but the bleeding won't stop. What should we do?" the doctor asked with sweat on his forehead.

This doctor's surname is Yang, and his medical skills are better than the doctor Yang Cheng hastily hired last night.

Doctor Yang is an excellent acupuncturist. Just one silver needle can stop bleeding.

Keke never expected that the methods that Doctor Yang had always been proud of would fail in this case with General Yang!
