After the system ran, I took off with my family
Chapter 197 Zhao Xuan
"Don't worry, second brother. Even if he investigates, he won't find anything. He will only find that our family suddenly started practicing martial arts. Doesn't this just prove that I have a mysterious master?"
Lin Shuyue was not worried at all. She had just deliberately shown that skill mainly for the purpose of shocking Jiang Yushan.
Since you can't reason with him, there's no need to keep a low profile. Just use force to suppress him. The more powerful a person is, the more he fears death.
Tang Yunci, who had calmed down, also interrupted and said, "Ayan, don't worry. The Jiang family was wrong in today's matter. And with what Ayue showed today, he has to think twice before doing anything he wants to do."
Unless Jiang Yushan can hit the target with one strike, what awaits him is fatal revenge.
On the pleasure boat, Jiang Liang arrived late with an old doctor.
The old doctor's dissatisfaction immediately turned into uneasiness after seeing the prefect, the co-prefect and the magistrate.
At Jiang Yushan's signal, he squatted down to check on Jiang Yi's condition.
A quarter of an hour later, the old doctor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, withdrew his hand, and said respectfully: "Sir, your son is fine, he just soaked in the water for too long and drank a lot of wine, so he fainted.
I'll give him a hot water bath when I get back, and then prescribe some cold-dispelling and calming medicine for him to take two doses in a row."
"But he may have a fever in the middle of the night. If it's severe, you can ask the palace doctor to give Young Master Jiang an injection. If it's just a low-grade fever, just wipe his body with a warm towel."
"Then when will he wake up?" Jiang Yushan frowned.
The old doctor bowed and reported back, "Sir, Master Jiang will wake up on his own after drinking a dose of cold-dispelling and calming medicine."
Jiang Yushan finally felt relieved after hearing this.
At this time, Tang Zhiwei stepped forward and suggested: "In this case, Lord Jiang, you should take Young Master Jiang back home first. Your young master's health is important, and I will personally keep an eye on the painted boat."
Jiang Yushan looked back at the two pleasure boats not far away that were burned to the point that only the wooden frames were left. He pondered for a moment, nodded in agreement, and said with a folded hand, "Okay, thank you for your sympathy."
After Jiang Yushan and his group left, Tang Zhiwei looked at the remaining young masters and servants on the pleasure boat.
"Except for those who escaped from the two pleasure boats, everyone else should go back. After being blown by the cold wind all night, go back and have some ginger soup and rest early.
Of course, if any of you think of any clues, please inform the government office immediately."
Except for those who had just escaped, everyone else on the pleasure boat breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this.
They originally thought that they might not be able to return home tonight, but they did not expect the prefect to be so considerate and kind.
They all said respectfully in unison: "Thank you for your concern, sir. If we have any clues, we will inform the government office as soon as possible."
"Well, let's go back..."
After an incense stick of time, only 28 young masters and servants as well as Tang Zhiwei and other officers and soldiers were left on the pleasure boat.
Tang Zhiwei scanned the twenty-eight people with a sharp gaze and asked in a deep voice, "Everyone, do you remember anything? Why did the two pleasure boats catch fire at the same time?"
"Sir, we really didn't find anyone suspicious. Plus, we were drunk, so we didn't pay attention to the situation in the cabin."
The person who spoke was a young man. Tang Zhiwei recognized him. His name was Zhao Xuan and he was the son of Governor Zhao in the prefectural yamen.
He remembered that this person had a very good relationship with Jiang Yi, and the two often went out together.
But what was strange was that the testimony presented by his subordinates just now stated that he was not on the houseboat with Jiang Yi.
Thinking of this, he asked directly: "Zhao Xuan, aren't you very close to Jiang Yi? Why aren't you on the same pleasure boat with him?"
"I..." Zhao Xuan looked up at Tang Zhiwei and gritted his teeth and said, "I have had some misunderstandings with him recently, so..."
Under Tang Zhiwei's stern gaze, he stammered and told him about the recent conflict between himself and Jiang Yi.
It turns out that Zhao Xuan has a childhood sweetheart named Li Mei, and the two families had originally agreed to arrange their marriage during the Mid-Autumn Festival this year.
But a few days ago, a classmate of Zhao Xuanyi told him that he accidentally saw Li Mei giving a sachet to Jiang Yi.
Zhao Xuan didn't believe it and just said that his classmates had seen it wrong, because he knew that with Jiang Yi's vision, he would never be interested in Li Mei. Although Li Mei was not ugly, she could only be considered pretty at best.
But just yesterday, Zhao Xuan went to look for Li Mei with some newly bought pearl flowers. Before he reached the entrance of the alley, he saw Li Mei getting off Jiang Yi's carriage with his own eyes.
When Zhao Xuan saw this situation and thought about what his classmates had said to him, he couldn't help but rushed up to question the two of them.
However, both of them denied it and only said that Li Mei sprained her ankle when she went to the cloth shop and happened to meet Jiang Yi. Jiang Yi sent her home because Li Mei was Zhao Xuan's fiancée.
In the end, Jiang Yi accused him of taking his kindness for granted, and Li Mei also blamed him for being unreasonable.
Zhao Xuan had no evidence and could only apologize. However, after returning home, he still felt uncomfortable after thinking about it, so he deliberately did not ride on the same pleasure boat with Jiang Yi on the Baihua Cruise tonight.
"I see." Tang Zhiwei stroked his short beard and then looked at the others, "Did anyone of you notice who entered the cabin before the incident?"
The others all shook their heads. At that time, the young master of the Jiang family was spending a huge amount of money on Fairy Hibiscus, and they didn't pay any attention to the situation in the cabin at all.
For a long time, no one said a word.
Tang Zhiwei shook his head and sighed, "Alright, everyone go back first. If you think of anything in the next few days, you must come to the government office to report it as soon as possible. No matter if you are the master or the servant, if the clues you provide are beneficial to this case, I will reward him with 100 taels of silver."
Forget about these young masters, he just doesn't believe that those servants would not be tempted by the money.
At the Lin Residence in Wutong Lane, Li and Lin An listened to the children describing the scene of the Baihua Boat Tour. After hearing that the pleasure boat was on fire, they both frowned. When they heard that the Jiang family was making trouble, Lin An was about to slam the table and stand up.
Lin Shuyan hurriedly comforted the two of them and described in vivid detail how Lin Shuyue had deliberately shown off her skills and frightened Jiang Yushan into being respectful, which made the two of them smile happily.
In the east courtyard of the Jiang Mansion, the servants were busy and moving in an orderly manner, walking lightly.
In the main bedroom, the young man on the bed moved his eyelids.
"Yier..."
"Damn Yi'er..."
Jiang Yi slowly opened his eyes, and when he could see the bed curtain above his head clearly, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at the middle-aged couple who were staring at him nervously beside the bed.
"Father...Mother..."
"Hey...Yier, you finally woke up!"
Jiang Yushan finally let go of his worries, and Mrs. Jiang beside him also wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.
"Yier, you scared your mother and me to death. The doctor said you would wake up after taking a dose of medicine, but you refused to wake up and kept talking nonsense. Fortunately, the court doctor gave you an injection in time."
