The legend of Dukang

"Ruyu, I wonder if this young master is...?" Jie Tianchou looked at Wen Ruyu, as if he was waiting for his introduction.

Wen Ruyu was finally freed from the endless mutual flattery, he quickly pushed Du Shaokang in front of him, and said, "This is Mr. Du Shaokang, my younger brother's friend, and I know Xie Youyunheng as well."

"Oh, Jieyou just said that Ruyu was invited to come, I don't know that Mr. I also came to the Hou's mansion, I really neglected it, don't expect it to be strange." Jie Tianchou said and saluted Du Shaokang.

Wen Ruyu felt that these words were weird: what do you mean by that, is it because you are blaming others for coming uninvited?Thinking of this, Wen Ruyu looked at Du Shaokang worriedly.

But Du Shaokang didn't feel neglected, instead he politely returned the gift to Jie Tianchou: "I shouldn't have come to disturb you hastily. I have met Mr. Fang a few times, and when I learned that he was in poor health, I was very concerned about it. Come to visit, if it is abrupt, I will also look at Xie Gongzi Haihan."

Du Shaokang already had the temperament of a sick son, but when he said a few words on the scene, his refined demeanor, his freely retractable demeanor, and his neither humble nor overbearing conversation made Wen Ruyu's eyes shine.

Jie Tianchou was also obviously amazed, and was slightly stunned before he said: "Mr. Du is too worried! Ruyu and Yunheng's friends are naturally distinguished guests of my Houfu. Sir, he cares about the safety of his friends, so why would you say so abruptly?" After speaking, he led the two into the main hall.

After sitting down in the main hall, the servants served tea, and Jie Tianchou waved his servants to leave.

Du Shaokang looked around, and found that the layout of the hall was no different from that of an ordinary rich and noble family, but compared with the specifications of the Hou Mansion, it was much more low-key.There are not many valuables in the hall, but the most eye-catching thing is the plaque hanging on the hall.

The plaque was inlaid with gold borders, and the four characters of "the mainstay" were written rustlingly on it, and the inscription was actually the emperor's imperial seal, which seemed to be an imperial pen.Looking at the four golden characters, Du Shaokang couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

When there were only three people left in the hall, Wen Ruyu asked softly, "How is Yunheng's injury? Do you know who did it?"

Jie Tianchou glanced at Du Shaokang calmly, as if he was concerned.

Du Shaokang drank his tea silently with his head down, not paying attention to Jie Tianchou's precautions at all.

Wen Ruyu didn't care about Jie Tianchou's hesitation, and continued to urge: "Brother Tianchou, don't worry, just speak up if you have anything to say!"

Jie Tianchou had no choice but to tell the cause and effect of the incident in detail.

It turned out that after Fang Yunheng and Jieyou returned to the capital, they had been resting in Fang's family's other courtyard in the suburbs of Beijing.After Fang Yunheng came back this time, he became very strange. He kept hiding in his room mysteriously and rarely came out, and he didn't let his servants enter the house to serve him. No one is ever allowed in.

Jie Tianchou was busy with official duties and family affairs, rarely went to Fang's other courtyard, and did not notice this cousin.Until this morning, the servant who served Fang Yunheng brought him breakfast as usual, put the meal on the round table outside and retreated.When I delivered lunch at noon, I found that the breakfast food hadn't moved at all.The boy became suspicious, so he asked twice in the outside room, but no one answered.The boy felt something was wrong, so he plucked up the courage to enter the inner room, only to find that the room was in a mess, and Fang Yunheng fell on the bed, unconscious.

"The food has been checked and there is no poison. There are no traces of fighting or injuries on the body. The imperial doctor in the palace has already seen it, and they can't see any clues. My father has rushed to invite Dr. Hu. It should be done by now. You're here." Jie Tianchou said with a worried expression on his face.

Doctor Hu Hu Xinglin, an imperial physician of three generations from his ancestors, his medical skills are extremely high, second only to the "first master" doctor Ge Hongge in the world, so he is also known as "Hu Bianque".Hu Xinglin not only has superb medical skills, but also is upright and upright. He disdains to participate in open and secret battles in the palace, and he will not use medical skills to harm others for the sake of profit, so he is quite trusted by the emperor.For most of his life in the palace, there has been no wind or rain.Finally, two years ago, the emperor was sympathetic and allowed to return to his hometown to take care of his old age, which can be regarded as a good death.

"Doctor Hu and Uncle Xie are family friends, and they are very skilled in medicine. It's good that he is willing to come. But, why is Yunheng hiding in the room all this time?" Wen Ruyu asked suspiciously.

Jie Tianchou shook his head and said: "I don't know either. He locked himself in the room and didn't allow anyone to come in and out at will. He usually just talked to Jieyou. We didn't know what we were discussing after closing the door. Last night, I and Jieyou went to see him together, but before we sat for long, he said he was sleepy, and we had to leave." Jie Tianyou frowned, thought for a while before saying: "However, I didn't find anything unusual in his room. !"

Wen Ruyu said strangely: "I have been with Yunheng for a while, isn't he such a withdrawn person? Something must have happened during this! When we figure it out, maybe we will know the reason for his coma."

"Well, I thought so too, but after the accident, Yunheng's room has been searched, and nothing was found." Jie Tianchou sighed: "Hey, it's true that misfortunes never come singly. Tianle's injury has just improved. Thinking of cousin Yunheng... Fangge is getting old, and I really don't know how to explain to his grandson like Yunheng."

Only then did Wen Ruyu remember that Jie Tianle was seriously injured in Xie's family, and hurriedly asked, "Is Tianle's injury healed?"

"It's alright, but there are too many things going on at home recently, and my father-in-law has already sent someone to send him back to Wudang for fear of affecting his self-cultivation." Jie Tianchou said in a heavy tone.

Seeing that his face was so heavy that it was about to drip water, Wen Ruyu could only comfort him: "This is the end of the matter, brother don't need to be sad, just figure out the whole story as soon as possible!"

"About Mr. Fang's coma, Mr. Xie has nothing to say?" At this moment, Du Shaokang who was silent at the side suddenly spoke.

Wen Ruyu was taken aback by his sudden utterance, and quickly looked at him.

Jie Tianchou was also surprised, staring at Du Shaokang and said, "What do you mean, sir?"

Du Shaokang said indifferently: "According to Mr. Xie, Mr. Fang seems to be hiding something on his mind after he came back, and has been keeping secrets and not allowing anyone to enter the room. But he does not reject Mr. Xie, so it can be seen that Mr. Fang must know the inside story Mr. Fang is in a coma now, maybe the second Mr. knows something, didn't he say anything?"

It turns out that Mr. Xie he was talking about was worrying!Jie Tianchou breathed a sigh of relief, coughed, and then said: "After the accident, I also asked Jieyou. He said that he and Yunheng had done something for his father before, and after they came back, they just asked Yunheng to discuss the matter. It's just the details, and he doesn't know if there is anything else about Yun Heng."

After finishing speaking, Jie Tianchou looked at Wen Ruyu and said, "As for what they did for father, Jieyou won't say anything. I heard that Ruyu went out with Xie Youyunheng and the others, what's the inside story?"

"This..." Wen Ruyu coughed, and secretly scolded Jie Tianchou for being too slippery.

Fang Yunheng obviously had an accident right under your noses, but now he's pointing the finger at me with a few sentences.Wen Ruyu was in trouble. The three of them went out because of Xuantianjian. Although Jie Tianchou was also a member of the Xie family, he couldn't talk too much about Jieyou, not to mention there was an outsider Du Shaokang beside him. It seems that it is not a good time to tell the whole story, let's see and solve your worries before discussing it.

Seeing that Tianchou was staring at him with scorching eyes, and Wen Ruyu was struggling with how to get away with it, he heard Du Shaokang next to him say: "Mr. Wen has been with you all this time, and we just arrived in the capital yesterday."

"Yes, yes." Du Shaokang relieved himself, and Wen Ruyu hurriedly said, "I just accompanied the two of them for a stroll, and I have been with Mr. Du since then, and it has been a long time since I have seen any worries about them. gone."

Jie Tianchou didn't ask any further questions, and lowered his head and sighed secretly: "It seems that I can only ask Jieyou again, but Jieyou's temper... I guess I can't ask anything."

Wen Ruyu thought about it, this is the truth!Jieyou has always said one thing, as long as he doesn't want to say anything, nothing can be done if he is killed. Jie Tianchou really understands this brother.However, the matter of Fang Yunheng's injury and coma is indeed strange. Thinking of the recent unlucky big families in the capital, and Wen Feng's bet, Wen Ruyu couldn't help but feel a little worried. Did you find a sign of a silver bat on the gate of the courtyard?"

Jie Tianchou raised his head and looked at Wen Ruyu suspiciously: "I never saw it, why did Ruyu say that?"

"It's fine if you don't have one." Wen Ruyu heaved a sigh of relief, and told the story of the 'Fortune Thief' from beginning to end.

After listening to Wen Ruyu's words, Jie Tianchou laughed instead: "Ruyu is worrying too much, it's just rumors from foolish people in the market, it's all nonsense. Besides, Fang Ge is a highly respected old man, and my uncle has been an official for many years, and the official reputation is well-known among the people. That's right! The Fang family has always been doing good deeds, and they have never done anything harmful to nature, and they are not afraid of any chivalrous knights, and they are not afraid of any ghosts taking their lives!"

Seeing what Tianchou said, Wen Ruyu couldn't question her uncle's character, so she had to shut up.Jie Tianchou should be busy with a lot of things, and he didn't have time to sit with them like this, and Jie You was not around, so Wen Ruyu proposed to visit Fang Yunheng.

Xie Tianchou heard the words and said: "Junheng is still being placed in another courtyard. It will take some time in the past. Besides, it is already late and the road is not easy to walk. You two might as well rest in the Hou's mansion today and go tomorrow." Late."

After Jie Tianchou finished speaking, he was about to call in servants to clean up the room for the two of them.

"No need." Wen Ruyu interrupted him: "It's not too late, the two of us go to the other courtyard to see Yunheng now." After speaking, he looked at Du Shaokang, as if asking for his opinion.

Du Shaokang also nodded in agreement.

Seeing that the two insisted, Jie Tianchou couldn't say anything, so he called the housekeeper to arrange matters in the Hou's mansion, and ordered the horses to be harnessed.The three of them rode horses and rushed to the suburbs of Beijing in the dark.
