【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

Sanqi was walking on the street with a small scarlet box on his back. He looked indifferent, but passers-by on the road knew that he was an apprentice of Sanshengguan, and they all looked at him kindly and nodded their heads.Sanqi didn't respond to this, she was used to it, and didn't bother to respond.

Suddenly, a voice stopped him: "Brother Sanqi?"

Sanqi paused, turned his head, and saw a young girl with a lovely face and clear eyes. He remembered that this was from Yuan Zhongxin's group, named Xiaojing.

For Yuan Zhongxin, a young man who can see through everything, Sanqi is calm on the surface, but he is very taboo in his heart. He nodded lightly to Xiaojing: "Miss Xiaojing, what a coincidence?"

Xiao Jing approached with a smile, came to him and said, "Unfortunately, I came here specifically to find you, Big Brother Sanqi."

Sanqi was taken aback.

Xiaojing showed an embarrassed smile: "I have been particularly interested in medical skills and pharmacology since I was a child. Just now, I wanted to go to the Sansheng Hall to learn a few things secretly from Master Fusheng. Master Fusheng told me that you would go to the doctor for him. Yes, let me follow, he said that he can learn more during the visit."

Sanqi understood, but he was still puzzled: "Didn't Brother Yuan say where you planned to go shopping today?"

Xiao Jing showed regret: "Brother Yuan contracted typhoid fever and was resting in the inn. The places where sister Zhao and the others are going are mostly gambling houses. I am really not interested."

Sanqi suddenly realized.

Xiaojing took a step forward and looked at Sanqi expectantly: "Brother Sanqi, can you bring me with you when you go to the clinic? I promise not to make trouble, and I can still help you."

Sanqi thought for a while, then nodded, it's just a medical visit, she can follow if she wants.

After Xiaojing and Sanqi left side by side, a figure watched them gradually go away. He pursed his lips slightly, his eyes turned cold, and whispered to himself: "Xiaojing, whether Sanqi can make a breakthrough depends on you."

The person turned and left, and walked towards the government.

Liu Qiao was in the courtroom dealing with the affairs of Li Muhe and others who had been executed, and was very busy. Suddenly, his subordinates came in and said that Yuan Zhongxin was waiting in the outer hall. Liu Qiao was puzzled, but she went out to see him immediately.

Yuan Zhongxin smiled slightly at Liu Qiao: "Master Liu, I have something I would like to ask you to help me with."

Liu Qiao hurriedly said, "No trouble, no trouble, what's the matter with Brother Yuan?"

Yuan Zhongxin: "Is there a record of the identities of the children that Li Muhe kidnapped and trafficked five years ago?"

Liu Qiao didn't understand, but she answered truthfully: "Although I hadn't taken office when the abduction case happened, I had sorted out the government's case database, and that record is indeed still there."

Yuan Zhongxin grinned, and put a hand on Liu Qiao's shoulder: "Master Liu, can you borrow it for reading next time, and it will be returned tomorrow morning."

Liu Qiao looked distressed, thought for a moment, and agreed to Yuan Zhongxin's request, got up and went into the case library, and when she came out again, she was holding a blue booklet in her hand.

Yuan Zhongxin took it, stuffed it casually into his pocket, said "thank you" lazily, then turned and left the government.

Liu Qiao behind him had a troubled expression on his face. He had an inexplicable feeling that Yuan Zhongxin was going to do something.

Sanqi returned to the Sansheng Pavilion, and found that Master Fusheng was no longer in the hall, his eyes darkened, knowing that his master had gone to the dark room again.He was not in a hurry, after putting away the traveling suitcase, he went into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles for himself, and while he was eating, Master Fusheng appeared.

Master Fusheng seemed to be in a good mood, he leisurely poured himself a cup of tea and took a few sips: "Is today's visit going well?"

Sanqi didn't raise his head, and said slightly mockingly: "Usually you don't ask a lot, why do you seem to be a different person today?"

Master Fusheng hooked his lips into a smile, that delicate and handsome face was not gentle, but rather cold, and his tone was quite cheerful: "Li Muhe was executed today."

After three or seven meals, he ate the only noodles left in the bowl with a normal expression.

Master Fusheng's smile deepened, and he looked at Sanqi with probing eyes: "You really are an extremely cold person, your father was beheaded, and you can still remain so calm and unresponsive."

Sanqi put down his chopsticks, looked at Master Fusheng coldly, and then sneered: "Did you forget that I sent him to prison with my own hands?"

Master Fusheng flicked his hair: "I haven't forgotten, how could I forget, but I'm a little curious, how did Yuan Zhongxin know that you are his son?"

When talking about Yuan Zhongxin, Sanqi's eyes immediately froze, as if he had been poisoned, he gritted his teeth and said, "He blackmailed me!"

Master Fusheng raised his eyebrows: "Even if he knows that you are his son, it doesn't matter. Anyway, now that Li Muhe is dead, no matter how strange he feels, he will definitely not find us. Don't worry."

Sanqi regained his composure, and he stared coldly at Master Fusheng: "It's better not to underestimate the enemy, Yuan Zhongxin is not easy." He paused: "Today, you asked Xiaojing to find me?"

Master Fusheng didn't seem to take Yuan Zhongxin seriously, he nodded and answered Sanqi's question: "It's okay to let you get closer to that little girl, if Yuan Zhongxin really finds out something in the future, We also have a chip in our hand."

Sanqi didn't object either, if Yuan Zhongxin really wanted to risk his life, he wouldn't let him go.

As the night was getting darker, in the inn, Yuan Zhongxin looked at the booklet in his hand and frowned slightly. Seeing his reaction like this, Xiaojing knew he was worried, so she said, "Brother Yuan, don't worry, Brother Wang and the others will It's fine."

Yuan Zhongxin smiled: "I'm not very worried about them, what about you? Does Sanqi have any unusual behavior?"

Xiao Jing shook his head, a little discouraged: "No, I thought he would react when he heard the news of Li Muhe's death, but he has always been indifferent, showing no joy or anger—could he really be interested in Li Muhe? And disappointment so far?"

Li Muhe was accused of smuggling children by boat, Sanqi was extremely disappointed, he didn't want to recognize this human trafficker as his father, and felt that this father was a stain in his life, this is human nature.

But in Yuan Zhongxin's heart, there was an indescribable weirdness.

Was it really Master Fusheng who exposed what Li Muhe did back then?The matter of smuggling and trafficking children is so serious, how could Li Muhe, an old Jianghu who has been in business for many years, be so reckless to let a doctor who has been in the hospital all year round to save lives and heal the wounded know by accident?

Or, in the case of the smuggling back then, there were ghosts in Li Mu and the caravan, and someone intentionally told Master Fusheng about it?

Who is that person?

Yuan Zhongxin stared at the swaying firelight on the table, and suddenly thought of a person.

Qin Xiao.

He was originally a member of Li Muhe's caravan, and Li Muhe's right-hand man. After the smuggling incident was exposed, Li Muhe and his caravan were wiped out. Except for him, although life was poor, he lived happily in Mizhou. good.

"Xiaojing, tomorrow, you will still go to the doctor with Sanqi, don't worry about your safety, someone will protect you in secret." Yuan Zhongxin said in a deep voice.

Xiao Jing nodded obediently: "What about you, Brother Yuan?"

Yuan Zhongxin's eyes were dimmed: "I'm going to meet someone."

The next day, when Xiaojing went out, Yuan Zhongxin was no longer in the inn.

Yuan Zhongxin recalled the way to Qin Xiao's address, and knocked on Qin Xiao's door after a while.

As soon as Qin Xiao opened the door, seeing Yuan Zhongxin, he hurriedly turned sideways and led him into the house, he said in embarrassment: "Brother Yuan is really laughing, I still haven't bought some melons and fruits at home, so I can only treat you to drink some green tea. "

Yuan Zhongxin smiled and said, "It's okay, I just like to drink green tea." He glanced at the muddy ground in the backyard, and asked thoughtfully, "What does Brother Qin's family do for a living?"

Qin Xiao wiped his hands, and smiled wryly: "What else can I make a living on, but it's just doing some hard work occasionally, which can be used to subsidize the family."

"Oh, that's it..." Yuan Zhongxin looked at Qin Xiao's hand intentionally or unintentionally, his eyes flickered, and he pointed to the muddy ground calmly: "Brother Qin, why don't you go?" How about getting some cosmos to grow? I think cosmos is quite popular now. Mizhou’s economy is developing well, and there are many rich people. If Brother Qin grows cosmos successfully and sells them, he will be able to sell well. The price."

Looking at the mud field that Yuan Zhongxin pointed to, Qin Xiao froze, his eyes dodged, and he said with a smile: "I am short-handed and don't have much experience in growing crops. If I really want to grow cosmos, I just Afraid of losing even worse."

Yuan Zhongxin nodded obediently: "That's right, cosmos is delicate, and it's really difficult to grow—how about melons, fruits and vegetables? Those are always simple. Brother Qin planted them. Not only can they be sold, but they are also self-sufficient. The best of both worlds. If Brother Qin needs it, I can help you find some vegetable seedlings for free."

Brother Qin's body became even stiffer, and the smile on his face was hard to maintain, he said with a dry smile, "No, thank you Brother Yuan for your kindness, I'll just do coolies, I don't need much money, and I'm not starved to death, I'm satisfied. "

Yuan Zhongxin didn't speak suddenly, and his eyes were tightly around Qin Xiao. After a long time, Qin Xiao couldn't hold back his smile, so Yuan Zhongxin said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. Since Big Brother Qin doesn't want to, then I will too." It’s not easy to persuade, as a human being, the most important thing is to be at ease, I think brother Qin, he is very good now, if he wants to find a job, he can find a job, if he doesn’t want to go, he can rest at home——Yuan is really envious.”

Yuan Zhongxin's exclamation made Qin Xiao break out in a cold sweat, but Yuan Zhongxin didn't continue this topic, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, he carefully asked: "I don't know why Brother Yuan came to see me today? "

Yuan Zhongxin drank the tea in one gulp, and said cheerfully: "It's nothing, I just want to chat with Brother Qin about the family affairs."

Qin Xiao froze, really not sure about Yuan Zhongxin.

Yuan Zhongxin explained: "Brother Qin doesn't know something. I have a sore throat and some typhoid fever these days, and I can't go out and have fun with my friends. It's okay for me to stay alone. No, I suddenly remembered that I was in the secret Zhou, I still know you, Brother Qin, so I wanted to come and chat with you."

Qin Xiao nodded in a daze, and didn't know what to say with a dry smile, so he said dryly: "I'm really happy to be able to accompany Brother Yuan to relieve boredom, hahahaha..."

Yuan Zhongxin waved his hand, as if you were being polite to me: "Brother Qin, don't say that, I am the one who should be happy. After chatting with Brother Qin, I found that I have figured out a lot of things Woolen cloth."

Qin Xiao's heart skipped a beat, he pursed his lips tightly, and asked tentatively, "I don't know Brother Yuan, what did you figure out?"

Yuan Zhongxin smiled mysteriously, and lowered his voice slightly: "I figured it out, what does it mean to want others to know, unless you don't do it yourself."
