"You are a real man, but you cry easily, you are just a woman!" Doctor Song raised his bloody hand:

"Clean up the place, don't move him, boil the medicine, and feed him in two hours. If he develops a fever, be sure to inform me immediately!"

When she returned to her room, Doctor Song slumped down in her chair, her hands and legs shaking uncontrollably!

This was the first time she dealt with such a serious injury alone.

If it were in the capital, Doctor Song would not dare to be so reckless.

But Ning Weizhou's injury cannot be delayed any longer, and it would be extremely difficult to find a better doctor than her in Jiangnan right away.

"Grandmaster, you must bless me to successfully save this time!" Doctor Song prayed silently.

At this time, Gu Feiwan was drinking bird's nest porridge in the room, which was fed by Gu Jiusi.

"Sister, look how thin you are now! You must eat more and become plump and beautiful!" Gu Jiusi fed and coaxed her.

Gu Feiwan glanced at him and said, "Would it look better if I turned into a pig?"

Gu Jiusi grinned: "My sister would be the prettiest pig even if she turned into a pig!"

Gu Hechuan covered his face!

Gu Feiwan stretched out his hand and hit him: "How can you treat your elder brother like this? I'm going to tell grandma!"

"When you have recovered, we will return to the capital. You can complain however you want. I will not hide away!" Gu Jiusi patted his chest fiercely.

"Did you hit the boat just now?" Gu Feiwan asked suddenly.

Gu Jiusi choked!

He has already taken such a long detour, why did his sister come back again?

The truth could not be hidden, and Gu Feiwan still found out that Ning Weizhou was injured.

While everyone was worried, Gu Feiwan was exceptionally calm!

"How was he injured? Who hurt him?"

When Gu Hechuan heard his niece's calm voice, his head started to hurt!

He would rather Gu Feiwan get emotional, cry, or scold him, than be calm like an insignificant person as she is now.

"Fei Wan, don't get involved in this matter. Several ministers in the court are involved. Even with Xiao Zhou's skills, he still suffered a great loss."

Gu Feiwan leaned on the soft pillow, his hands clenched into fists under the quilt, but his face remained calm: "Second uncle, I just want to ask, Xiaozhou was injured like this, I must know who the enemy is!"

Gu Hechuan pondered for a moment, and dismissed the servants in the room, leaving only Gu Jiusi.

It turned out that as soon as he entered Jiangnan, he received a secret letter from Prince Rong.

The emperor had far less patience with the Jiangnan officialdom than his predecessor, and Shen Zhili alone had taken all of his patience.

However, the officialdom in the south of the Yangtze River is complicated and if one is not careful, it may even lead to destabilization of the country.

But the red seal in the emperor's hand could not wait any longer. Sitting in the highest and coldest position in the world, he was already very impatient with someone constantly taking money out of his pocket!

All that money is going to be used to expand our territory!

The Eastern Barbarians are ready to make some small moves on the border from time to time. Although the current emperor has never fought a war, he also has an ambition to expand the territory.

Ning Weizhou is the sharpest knife in the emperor's hand. Taking advantage of the death of Prince Dun and the coincidence of people coming from Jiangnan to look for their relatives, the right time, right place and right people are all right!

The emperor's request was just one word: quick!

If I have to say it in two words, it would be: faster!

Ning Weizhou was carrying a secret decree, and Gu Hechuan received a secret letter.

Since the Gu family got involved with Prince Rong, they have been tied to the royal family.

These days, Gu Hechuan had no time to take care of Gu Feiwan in Jiangnan. He was concentrating on preparing money for Ning Weizhou's various operations in Jiangnan.

Fortunately, Gu Feiwan did a great job. Not only did he quickly subdue Huang Mazi, but he also stabilized the people in Jiangnan when the flood came, and even inadvertently helped Ning Weizhou and Gu Hechuan a lot!

"I have been collecting evidence of Sheng Yanhua's crimes privately. The most I can do is accuse him of bribery. He is very cunning. He has used his subordinates to commit murders and robberies, and to seize land and shops. Once the incident is discovered, he can be charged with a crime of poor discipline. It will be difficult to completely implicate him without solid evidence."

"But you gave him a chance to be convicted!"

After hearing this, Gu Feiwan thought for a moment and asked, "Second uncle, are you talking about that painting?"

Gu Hechuan nodded: "Although the calligraphy and paintings of the Peng family were gifts from Master Wuyin, they are not national treasures that should be kept privately by the people. Sheng Yanhua is not unaware of this, but unfortunately, human desires are endless. In addition, he has been able to get whatever he wants in the past ten years in Jiangnan, and he is more powerful than the local government officials, which makes him extremely arrogant! When we broke into Sheng Yanhua's villa, the painting was hanging on the head of his bed!"

"When he saw us, he knew that his crime had been exposed and that he was about to die. He opened the secret passage and escaped. He even took the painting with him when he fled!"

Gu Feiwan shook his head in confusion: "Since he knew that this painting would cost him his life, why didn't he give it up?"

It’s just a painting. Is it really more important than life?

Gu Hechuan sighed: "People are always greedy. When he was down and out, he thought about wealth and honor. When he became rich, he thought about power. It's not enough to be a tyrant in Jiangnan, he wants to sit higher!"

"Does he still want to sit in the Golden Palace?" Gu Jiusi sneered without any reservation.

"Shut up!" Gu Hechuan slapped him on the head, "You are so careless! I heard that you took over the post of governor of Jiangnan. I was so upset that I almost went to see your great grandfather!"

Gu Jiusi touched his head, very unconvinced, but he dared only lower his voice and said: "Then your heart is too fragile. I have been here all the way, and the people have praised me for being a good official!"

Gu Feiwan smiled. Indeed, if Xu Shixian hadn't confirmed it, she wouldn't have believed that her elder brother could be the governor of Jiangnan.

Just think of Gu Jiusi at home, scratching his head and ears because of being bullied by her and Gu Shian. How can he be like a governor who holds the lifeline of various tribes in Jiangnan?

"Did Sheng Yanhua's men injure Xiao Zhou?" Gu Feiwan changed the subject.

Gu Hechuan nodded, then shook his head: "Those people were not the assassins recruited by Sheng Yanhua. The arrows that shot Xiaozhou were the standard ones used by the Wu army."

"In the army?" Gu Feiwan was shocked. "He is the commander of the Wu army. Whose army dares to kill him?"

"This man should be in the capital. We were careless. Xiaozhou went there wearing only a thin armor. Lou Yi was left in Liuyuan. Lou Er and others were divided into several groups and sent to chase the officials involved in the case."

"After all, the soldiers under Admiral Zhao's command have not followed Xiao Zhou in battles for years, so their coordination and tacit understanding are not as good as those of his own soldiers."

"I was checking the account books at Sheng Yanhua's villa at the time. I didn't expect anyone to notice me. The arrow was aimed at me. Xiaozhou was trying to protect me, so he was ambushed!"

Gu Hechuan clenched his fist and pounded it hard on the table: "The thief is cunning, Sheng Yanhua escaped!"
