Make a long-term worker as an old attack

Niu Geng and Xue Zhaoqing led the black dog back to the inn in the dark. The current situation of the Xue family is much more serious than they imagined. They thought that Xue Gan was just blinded, but now it seems that Xue Gan has completely Holding it in the hands of those people, it became just a puppet.

"Qing'er, what do you think now?"

"Even now, my mind is still in a mess, and I don't know what to do." Xue Zhaoqing frowned, and lightly supported his forehead.

"Let's take a look at the evidence we have now, so that we can understand it a little bit."

"Now the focus should be on the letter in Tian Degui's hand. I have nothing to do with the Donglin party members. How did he use this letter to frame me? Besides, my father knows my handwriting. No, my father will definitely be suspicious."

"Will he learn how to write from you?"

"Hmm..." Xue Zhaoqing sat for a while and thought, this is indeed the only possibility. At that time, his family letters were all sent by Tuo Degui, and he could indeed copy them with these templates.

"If you can find that letter and the letter I wrote earlier, it should be enough to prove that what he said is all lies."

"And the doctor, Qing'er, probably was bought as well."

"Yes, this doctor is also a suspicious point. Before forcing you to leave, he has already been bribed. The one who bought him is nothing more than Auntie or Jinfeng. As long as you can pry this doctor's mouth open and let him identify Auntie and the others Framed, uncles from other branches of my Xue family will definitely hinder Zhaowen's ambition to inherit the family property."

"Yeah." Niu Geng replied: "There is one more thing, Tian Degui dares to run amok at home, without the support of the second wife, it is impossible for him, Cai Xing's sister-in-law originally suspected that the two had an affair, now it seems that it is Really, if we can really find clues to these things, and produce hard evidence in the ancestral hall to identify the two of them, then their wishful thinking will be shattered by us!"

"Yes... Brother Niu Geng, let's start with the doctor first, and investigate step by step. I don't believe it. They can really hide all the dirty things without showing anything!" After a brief rest, the next day he pretended to be a master and a servant and headed towards the pharmacy.

This pharmacy is the largest in Sanyuan County. The owner’s surname is Jiang. The medical skills have been passed down from generation to generation since the reign of Emperor Taizong of the Ming Dynasty. It has been more than 100 years now. The owner of this generation is about forty years old now. Jiang Lian is not tall, although his body is lean, but because he has always been proficient in maintenance, his complexion is much rosier than ordinary people.Although his medical skills are not as good as those who serve high officials in the Xi'an Mansion, he can be regarded as one of the best in the surrounding area of ​​Sanyuan County.

Niu Geng dressed in black and Xue Zhaoqing, who was dressed as a servant, had just walked into the pharmacy when a clerk with a sharp eye greeted him.

"Master, are you taking medicine or seeing a doctor?"

"See a doctor, my boy is not feeling well recently, I want to find a doctor to take a look at."

"Do you see a doctor for this little guy?" The clerk couldn't help but asked back in surprise. He looked Xue Zhaoqing up and down, and saw that the little guy's complexion was gloomy, and he seemed to be sick. Did the master bring the servant to see a doctor?

"What's the matter? Your shopkeeper's medical treatment is divided into different people, isn't it?" Niu Geng raised his eyebrows slightly. He was born tall and tall, and if his face looked bad, it would be very intimidating. How could the buddy dare to say no again when he saw him, so hurry up He called the two of them to sit down, and said: "The shopkeeper of my house is in the backyard now, sir, please be safe, I will call for you right away." The guy yelled at the boy beside him.

"Go to the back and invite the shopkeeper out, saying that someone has come to see a doctor."

"But..." The young man seemed to be hesitating, and said falteringly: "Master, he should be worshiping the medicine god grandfather at this moment, and he asked not to be disturbed..."

"Hey, you kid, it's nothing else. Shouldn't you pass it on when you come to see a doctor? The shopkeeper's worship of the medicine god is also finished. You can go to the backyard and wait. You can't let this man wait." on."

Judging by his age, this guy should be in his 20s, and the boy should be an apprentice in a pharmacy, but he looks fifteen or sixteen years old. In fact, it is said that such a thing should be done by a guy, but it seems that he is going to the backyard right now He won't ask for anything, so the buddy bullies the younger one because of his age.

The boy had no choice but to bite his lip and went to the backyard. The waiter served a pot of tea for Niu Geng and poured two cups for the two of them. , and it’s not fifteen, why does your shopkeeper still worship God?”

"Master, I don't know either. Originally, our shopkeeper would sacrifice to Grandpa the God of Medicine on the [-]th day of the Lunar New Year. The time for offering incense every time is also very short. If anyone asks for medical advice, let us pass it on. But Since the spring of this year, I don’t know what happened to the shopkeeper. Every three, five or seven days, I will sacrifice to the grandfather of the God of Medicine, and the time for offering incense is getting longer and longer. If a patient comes during the period, just wait outside. Unless you are in a hurry, you are willing to come out."

After hearing this, the two looked at each other, Xue Zhaoqing thought, this year's spring is the time to drive Niu Geng and his wife away, it seems that this doctor did not sacrifice for no reason, he probably did too many bad things and has a guilty conscience.

If it was as the buddy said, the young apprentice came back from the backyard with a sad face. He must have been scolded by the master a lot. He bowed his head and said to Niu Geng and Xue Zhaoqing: "You two, my master said that we will not go to the clinic today." Well, please go to another house to see."

When the clerk heard this, he was in a hurry. There is no reason not to do door-to-door business, so he hurriedly stopped the young man and said, "There is no reason to push the patient away? Did the shopkeeper say it himself? Or are you unwilling to call the shopkeeper?" , a random reason?"

"I don't have the guts." The young man's voice was full of grievances: "There is no one in the shopkeeper's courtyard. I rushed over and knocked on his door. It was smoky inside, and I don't know how much incense the shopkeeper put on. , He only poked his head out, and after hearing what I said, he scolded me severely and drove me out."

"It's okay, it's okay." Niu Geng saw that the young man was pitiful, and asked, "How long have you been studying medicine here?"

"Two years."

"Can you check the pulse?"

"If you have learned a little bit, you will be able to."

"My boy doesn't have any major illnesses, but he sweats easily in the middle of the night, and he has some diarrhea these days. I don't bother your shopkeeper to come out, so I can prescribe a prescription for Qieqiemai."

"I..., oh, ok." The young man didn't expect that Niu Geng would let him see a doctor. He has been studying medicine for more than two years. The prescriptions he grabbed had to be weighed again.

The young man cut Xue Zhaoqing's pulse carefully, and asked about a lot of symptoms, Xue Zhaoqing couldn't make it up, so he gave up, and with a happy face, he prescribed a warming and nourishing prescription for the two of them, and then took the medicine, and finally Sent the two out.

As soon as the two of them left the gate of the pharmacy, they slipped onto a narrow street outside the backyard of the pharmacy. Niu Geng counted his steps and found the backyard corresponding to the pharmacy. Gao, it may be difficult to go up with only one person's strength, Niu Geng turned his head and asked Xue Zhaoqing: "Qing'er? Do you want to go in?"

"Come in, there is something weird about this doctor, we have to figure out a way to get in to see what kind of medicine he sells in his gourd."

"Okay! I'll do as you say." After finishing speaking, Niu Geng lowered his body and gave way to his generous shoulders, apparently to let Xue Zhaoqing climb up on his shoulders.

Xue Zhaoqing didn't hesitate, stepped on Niu Geng's shoulders and turned over to the wall, leaned on the top of the wall and saw that there was a pile of straw in the yard, so jumping like this should not fall anywhere.Xue Zhaoqing threw his heart out, curled up and jumped down, his body was really soft, although there was a dull pain in his body, he could move up and down without hindrance.

"Qing'er, be careful, I'm coming." Xue Zhaoqing looked up and saw that Niu Geng was squatting on the wall and was about to jump down. He hurriedly took a few steps back and let Niu Geng jump down.

"Qing'er, are you alright? Did the fall hurt?" After Niu Geng jumped off, he didn't even have time to pick off the straw husks on his body, so he was busy checking whether Xue Zhaoqing was injured.

"It doesn't hurt. Brother Niu Geng." Xue Zhaoqing shook Niu Geng's arm and said, "Did you smell any strange smell?"

Niu Geng took a deep breath, and sure enough, a strong smell of incense came over his face. He was busy climbing over the wall at first, so naturally he didn't take this smell into consideration, but once he calmed down, the strange smell became clearer.

Ordinarily, incense should be fragrant and elegant when burned, but this Jiang Lian did not know how many sticks of incense were lit, and the cumulative smell only made people dizzy.

The two walked towards the courtyard following the smell of incense. It is strange to say that Jiang's family has practiced medicine in Sanyuan County for generations. It was so quiet, it seemed that there wasn't even a servant girl to wait on.Is it true that Jiang Lian sacrificed to the devil and drove away all the people in the courtyard as the buddy and apprentice said?

The two tiptoed to a courtyard where there were lush green bamboos and enchanting peonies. There was a round stone table and four low stone benches in the courtyard. A lot more elegant.

Xue Zhaoqing leaned his ears forward, and seemed to be able to hear some voices through the door panel. Looking at the decoration of the yard, it should be the place where Jiang Lian lived.But the sky is bright and bright, and it's just a sacrifice. Why do you close the gate tightly and let no one approach?

He and Niu Geng looked at each other, Niu Geng knew what he was thinking, so he ran to look at the courtyard door without him saying anything, Xue Zhaoqing walked up the three steps of the wing door lightly, and went in through the crack of the door voila.

I saw that the room was pitch black, almost nothing could be seen, and Jiang Lian did not know what method he used to cover the windows of the room, as if he was afraid of the light.The only thing with some light was the three candles burning on the altar.

But Xue Zhaoqing looked up along the candle, Jiang Lian was worshiping Grandpa Medicine God, he saw that the statue placed on the altar was ugly and fierce, and he was holding a human head dripping with blood in his hand!

Jiang Lian knelt down, kowtowed all over his body, and muttered something.

Xue Zhaoqing wanted to look more carefully, and moved forward as much as possible, but accidentally kicked the threshold of the door of the wing room, and made a moderate "ba da" sound.

Sure enough, Jiang Lian in the room turned his head around and looked at the door viciously. Only then did Xue Zhaoqing see Jiang Lian's face clearly, but just one glance scared him so much that his heart almost jumped come out!
