Crossing town house man and wife

Due to Wu Ming's insistence and Yan Heng's distrust of the barefoot doctors in the barracks, he finally sent someone back to the county guard's mansion, and did not send an old doctor with a gray beard to Wu Ming until noon.

The diagnosis result was not much different from Wu Ming's expectation. Luo Li, the white-bearded old doctor, talked a lot, in the final analysis, it was just one sentence: a mild cold plus excessive fatigue.

Upon hearing this result, Yan Heng's ears couldn't help but blush. Fortunately, he has a lot of beard, so others can't see his face.

Others only thought that Wu Ming was really tired.After all, the work he did yesterday is obvious to all. Although it is true that there are not many auxiliary soldiers working hard, "he" is a pampered young man, how can he compare with a group of poor men who have been working hard since childhood.

But with Wu Ming's illness, the teaching of making paper can only be suspended.Yan Heng even blamed Wu Ming's illness on this matter, and directly threw the papermaking flow chart to Luo Daozi, asking him to find someone to study on his own, and Wu Ming was not allowed to intervene.

Also because of Wu Ming's illness, Yan Heng finally noticed Yao Zhong's existence.

Speaking of it, the injury on Yao Zhong's face was completely an accidental disaster.

On the second day after returning to Xiangping from Liaokou, Yan Heng summoned his confidants to discuss the sale of sea salt in the study, and Yao Zhong was in charge of guarding the door as usual.

But on this day, Dan Ying, the daughter of the Ying family who was invited by her mother as a guest, learned that Yan Heng had returned, and couldn't wait to meet him under Ying's arrangement, so she took her to the front yard without authorization.

Yan Heng was discussing important matters, and the yard was under martial law within a hundred meters. As soon as Dan Ying arrived at the front yard, she was stopped by the guards guarding the gate, and she immediately made a fuss in annoyance.

Yao Zhong received a report from his servants and went to deal with the matter, just in time for Danying to use a whip to force the guards to let him go.

Yao Zhong stepped forward to stop her, but he didn't dare to hurt the lady, but in the end, Danying whipped her in the face, and she was disfigured.

Fortunately, Ying's side had also received the news, and quickly sent someone to persuade Dan Ying to leave.Otherwise, with Danying's temper during this time, Yao Zhong might be beaten to death in a fit of anger.

Danying has a high status, but Yao Zhong is just a servant of the Ying family.Even if Danying really beat Yao Zhong to death, it can only be said that Yao Zhong deserves to be unlucky.After knowing this, Yan Heng even felt that this was a deliberate arrangement by his mother, Ying Shi, in order to retaliate against him for favoring "Ruan Cheng" in the matter of Le Shi, so that he could also taste what it was like to be bullied by a confidant and dignitary.

But Yan Heng could only knock out his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. Not only could he not avenge Yao Zhong, but he had to be sent to a place where neither Dan Ying nor his mother could notice, so as to prevent him from being angered again.

Unexpectedly, Danying and Ying's side did nothing, but Wu Ming picked Yao Zhong back.

It happened that Wu Ming took the medicine and soon fell asleep, Yan Heng let the tortoise to stay in the house to take care of him, he called Yao Chong and went to the study in the front yard.

"Why did Madam bring you here?" Yan Heng asked straight to the point.

"It's just a coincidence." Yao Zhong recounted his encounter with Wu Ming in the barn, "I guess, Madam may have felt compassion and wanted to give me a way out."

"Compassion?" Yan Heng was very surprised, "Are you sure you are talking about Madam?"

Yao Zhong smiled, "My lord only sees Madam's cruelty, but I think Madam is quite chivalrous."

"What's the meaning of this?" Yan Heng was slightly taken aback, and then he understood, "You mean the maids around him?"

"Exactly." Yao nodded, "The golden and silver horns are taken back by your madam from your butcher's knife, and the tortoise shell is the same. Speaking of which, madam protects the tortoise shell more, and it should be someone who knows that she has offended you." She has more status, and it is easier to kill her, so she takes it wherever she goes, and does not leave a chance for her enemies."

"This enemy refers to..."

"Old Madam and Tai Madam." Yao Zhong raised the corners of his lips, "Master, you know that the reason Madam was able to find the old Madam and Tai Madam's yard was due to this little girl leading the way."

"Why did she do this?" Yan Heng frowned.He only paid attention to why Wu Ming went, but neglected how he got there.

"Huabi's original name is Hua Niang, and she has an older sister named Rou Niang, who used to serve Mrs. Tai. After the death of Mrs. Tai, Mrs. Tai intentionally sent this soft girl to serve you by your side, but this matter was leaked somehow—— According to my investigation, it is very likely that Rouniang's family members found out about it and showed it off, and then attracted the attention of your uncle." Speaking of this, Yao Zhong paused, "Your uncle Yan Bin is passing away for your first wife. After knowing this, she vented her anger on Rou Niang and raped her. In order to suppress this matter, the old lady slandered Rou Niang for seducing Yan Bin, beat her to death, and then threw her into the wilderness. The family got the old lady's hush money, so there was no noise, but this flower lady is a vengeful one, and she remembers it till now."

"Where's mother? Didn't she ever stand up for this soft girl?" Yan Heng asked.

"No." Yao Zhong lowered his eyes and said, "Rou Niang is just a maid after all, and she hasn't been sent to your side yet."

Yan Heng sighed, "You're a rabbit dead and a fox sad, things hurt their own kind."

"Your Majesty is worrying too much." Yao Chonghun smiled nonchalantly, "Speaking of which, the cook Osmanthus fragrans is the most protected by Madam."

"That's true." Yan Heng nodded, "If Madam didn't want to leave her, she would go to the mining area with the Zhang family to do coolies."

"My lord, forgive me." Yao Zhong smiled faintly, "Actually, I have deleted some of the transcripts of the inquiry sent to you, and there is actually another woman who was defiled by Guanshi Zhang."

"You mean the sweet-scented osmanthus?" Yan Heng's expression darkened.

On the day of Guan Zhang's accident, the person in charge of the interrogation asked him how many times he had wet the bed when he was a child, so he naturally knew the "good things" he had done.After Yan Heng received the report, he directly ordered the family to be tied up to the mining area, and those women who had had affairs with Guanshi Zhang were also sent out of the military camp.

"My lord, calm down." Yao Zhongbo replied calmly, "I took out the name of Osmanthus fragrans, just to prevent this matter from causing further disturbances and involving Madam. But Madam obviously took Osmanthus fragrans away because she knew about it. In fact , I suspect that the misfortune that Manager Zhang encountered was also caused by his wife, after all, the two incidents were only a few days apart, so there is no way to avoid doubts."

"Is there evidence?" Yan Heng asked indifferently.

"Not at all." Yao Zhong spread his hands helplessly, "Of course, compared to those little ladies who were defiled by Manager Zhang, the misfortune that Manager Zhang suffered can only be said to be God's eyes, and he has to blame himself."

"It sounds like you have a lot of respect for Madam." Yan Heng was inexplicably unhappy.

"Master Mingjian." Yao Zhong's smile remained unchanged, "Before you took Madam to Liaokou, Madam spent almost the same amount of time in the Sheriff's Mansion and the Craftsman's Camp, but a conflict in the Sheriff's Mansion would kill a person. Although there were several conflicts at the Craftsman Camp, none of the parties was injured, but they only received the punishment they deserved."

"What are you implying?" Yan Heng asked suspiciously.

"Madam is partial to the people." Yao Zhong said word by word, "Didn't you see that Madam has no airs at all when she is with those big soldiers. Even if their words are inappropriate, Madam just laughs it off."

"Madam has always been approachable, and she is also the same with the maids around her." Yan Heng replied blankly.

Yao Zhong understood Yan Heng's temperament very well, he knew his words made him unhappy as soon as he heard his tone, so he immediately smiled knowingly and stopped talking.

Yan Heng didn't continue this topic anymore, and instead asked: "Do you want to stay with Madam?"

"If Madam continues to use my words." Yao Zhong did not deny it.

Yan Heng was silent for a while, then said, "No."

"Master?" Yao Zhong was taken aback.

"With your intellect, it is impossible not to think that if Madam Tai really intends to vent her anger on you, what arrangements will be made after she finds out that you have gone to Madam's side." Yan Heng said coldly, "Now, Madam is a thorn in her side and a thorn in her flesh. , but Danying is the knife in her hand. If you go to Madam's side, you will give her a chance to stab with a knife."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, can't you see it? Madame is not a lamb who will be slaughtered." Yao Zhong's eyes were full of expectation.

"And then, let my wife and Mrs. Tai fight each other?" Yan Heng asked angrily.

"My lord, you always need someone to restrain Mrs. Tai." Yao Zhong said meaningfully.

"But this person doesn't have to be Ruan Cheng." Yan Heng vetoed coldly, "Don't worry, I won't leave you to be wasted in the county guard's mansion. I have sent someone to send a letter to Mu Yao. When he comes back, you can go West takes his place."

"...No." Yao Zhong lowered his head, but his eyes were still shining, obviously he had made his own decision.

Yan Heng was a little helpless.The reason why he only kept Yao Zhong by his side was because this guy had too many ideas, and he always made decisions without authorization.In terms of his ability to cause trouble, he was even worse than Wu Ming.If he stayed by his side, he would still be able to deal with the aftermath in time. If he went outside, he might cause a lot of trouble.

But this guy is really capable, intelligent, sensitive, scheming, and courageous, so Yan Heng couldn't bear to give up.

Forget it, let's talk to "Ruan Cheng" directly, so that he won't be bewitched by this kid and talk to him.

Yan Heng was thinking, when the guard outside the house suddenly shouted, "Stop!"

Immediately afterwards, a childish female voice rang out, "Master, please go and see Madam, he...he is not well!"

"What's wrong?" Yan Heng immediately pushed open the door without thinking.

"My lord!" It was Tortoise who came over to call, and when he saw Yan Heng open the door, he immediately fell to his knees, "My lord, Ma'am, his condition is getting worse..."

Before the tortoise could finish speaking, Yan Heng had already walked towards the backyard.

Tortoise shell hurriedly stood up again, and followed Yan Heng back to the backyard.

When he got to Wu Ming's bed, Yan Heng realized it was a false alarm.

As soon as Wu Ming fell asleep, his body temperature dropped and his breathing weakened. At first glance, he looked like a dying person, but as long as he woke up, he would return to normal.Yan Heng suspected that this had something to do with the mysterious kung fu that he practiced that required the aid of medicinal baths. He asked Wu Ming once, but Wu Ming did not deny it.

But tortoise had never seen Wu Ming in a sleeping state, and when he saw Wu Ming unexpectedly today, he immediately thought that his condition had worsened to the point of dying.

"Ma'am is fine, you don't have to worry." Yan Heng turned to Turtle and said, "He has a special physique, and he looks like this on weekdays."

"Ah?" Tortoise couldn't help but be taken aback for a moment, then her cheeks were flushed, and she fell to her knees with a plop, "This servant is reckless, please punish me."

"Get up, you are also eager to protect the Lord." Yan Heng took a look at Tortoise, but couldn't remember what her sister looked like, so he could only calmly say, "You go down first, I will stay here to take care of Madam."

After finishing speaking, Yan Heng said to Yao Chong, who came in to find out: "Ask someone to send all the matters that need to be dealt with urgently here, and postpone the unimportant ones for now. I want to stay and take care of my wife. I won't be here for a few days. Back to the Sheriff's Mansion."

"No." Yao Zhong bowed in response.
