Master of Rebirth

Knowing that Qi Xing and Chang Shun had returned, Wang Qi asked Zhao Jing to wait in the back room, then got up and went outside.

Not only Qi Xing and Chang Shun stood in the outer hall, even Xing Lin followed.

"Prince Wang." Seeing Wang Qi, Xing Lin hurriedly saluted.Although he had known Wang Qi for a long time and was taken care of by Wang Qi, the time he saw Wang Qi was limited after all.In addition, he always respected Wang Qi, and he was always a little cautious when facing his benefactor.

Wang Qi walked forward a few steps, helped Xing Lin up with her own hands, and said, "Quickly excuse me, it's so late, why are you here?"

"My brother-in-law was afraid that Changshun and I would not be able to explain clearly, so he followed me." Qi Xing explained.

Seeing the exhaustion on the faces of several people, I knew that they must have worked very hard, and they probably didn't have time for dinner.Wang Qi hurriedly said to Qi Qing: "Qi Qing, go and order the kitchen to make some hot soup and bring it here."

"Yes, I'll go now, little one." Qi Qing said.

Xinglin was naturally embarrassed to eat in the bamboo garden, so he quickly said: "Young Master Wang is too polite, so don't bother, I have already eaten."

Qi Xing persuaded with a smile: "You've been busy all day, where are you going to eat? The young master understands our hard work, so don't refuse."

"That's right." Chang Shun said straight-heartedly, "Even if you don't want to eat, Brother Qi Xing and I are still hungry."

"But..." Xinglin still hesitated.

Qi Qing said: "Brother-in-law, don't be polite, there are no outsiders here, how can you see outsiders so much?"

"Then, I'll bother the prince." Xing Lin had no choice but to thank him for interrupting him.

Qi Qing served hot tea to several people, and went to the kitchen to make arrangements.After he left, Wang Qi asked Qi Xing, "How is the inquiry going?"

"Young master is right. There are indeed a few families who invited their brother-in-law to see a doctor." Qi Xing looked at Xinglin after finishing speaking.

Xinglin didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly said: "My lord, I also sent people to other medical clinics to inquire about the situation. There are about a dozen families involved in this matter, at least 20 people were poisoned. Most of them are women's relatives and children. , some symptoms are quite serious, some poisoning is very mild, but none of them are life-threatening, you don’t have to worry. Mr. Liu has already summoned the doctor in the county to make a local diagnosis and treatment for poisoned people near the yamen. Anyone who eats today Those who have passed Linglongzhai's snacks can go there directly for free consultation."

Hearing that none of these people's lives were in danger, Wang Qi was somewhat relieved, "Where are the two fellows from Linglongzhai? They're fine."

"They're fine, Prince Wang doesn't need to worry." Xing Lin said.

Chang Shun said: "My lord, one of the guys is in relatively good health, and he has recovered. The younger one knew that the lord had something to ask, so he brought him too, and he is waiting outside now."

"Let him in quickly." Wang Qi said hastily.

With Wang Qi's approval, Chang Shun said to the outside: "Feng Liu, come in quickly."

This guy named Feng Liu is only in his early twenties, he is tall and big, and his face is relatively honest.

When he saw Wang Qi, he immediately knelt down and kowtowed: "I have seen Master Wang."

"Get up quickly." Wang Qi excused him, then pointed her chin at the chair at the end, and said, "Sit down."

Feng Liu naturally didn't dare to sit down, Wang Qi asked Qi Xing to pour him a cup of tea, but he didn't dare to take it.Wang Qi had no choice but to let him stand and answer.

"Feng Liu, how long have you been in Linglongzhai?" Wang Qi asked.

Feng Liu said honestly: "Back to the master, the younger one has been in the store for almost a year. The younger one is from Huping County. After his parents passed away, he came to Pingyao County to join his uncle. It happened that the uncle and Brother Wang Sheng knew each other well, so he I found a job for the little one in Linglongzhai."

"It's been almost a year, so that's not a short time to stay." Wang Qi said, "What do you usually do in Linglongzhai?"

Feng Liudao: "In the past three months, the little one has been selling snacks outside, and usually does some chores, helping to carry things. But Mr. Wang said that next month, the little one can go to the kitchen Helped."

In Linglongzhai, the work in the kitchen is not only easy, but also decent, and the monthly salary is also high.Everyone in Linglongzhai was fighting over their heads to squeeze into the kitchen.Since Wang Sheng let this Feng Liu into the kitchen, it can be seen that he still values ​​him very much.

"Is there any difference between Linglongzhai today and usual?" Wang Qi paused, then asked in another way, "Or, do you think there is anything about Linglongzhai today that makes you feel uncomfortable?"

Feng Liu bowed his head and tried his best to recall, and then said: "No, today is the same as usual, everyone does their own work, there is nothing different."

Wang Qi then asked, "How did you find out that you were poisoned?"

"Back to the master, I don't know I've been poisoned." Feng Liudao: "The little one ate a broken snack, but it didn't take long before he felt a stomachache. The little one thought it was blown by the wind and caught the cold, so I wanted to drink some Hot water was fine. But then I started to retch, and my head hurt so badly that I couldn't even stand up. It happened that Brother Wang Sheng saw it and asked some staff to send the younger one to Jishi Medical Center. "

Wang Qi asked: "Where is the other poisoned guy, is it the same as you?"

"Zhang Huai's condition is similar to that of the younger one, except that he is more serious than the younger one, and he is still lying down." Feng Liu quickly added, "But he is fine."

There are very few broken dim sum left in Linglongzhai now, Wang Qi asked: "Only you and Zhang Huai ate broken dim sum?"

"It's just the two of us." Feng Liu said embarrassingly, "Zhang Huai and I helped move some of the dim sum to the front cabinet. Some of the dim sum were crushed a bit and were put away by Zhang Huai. He might think it was a little The older one saw it too, so he gave the younger one two pieces."

As soon as the words fell, Feng Liu suddenly realized that he couldn't tell Wang Qi directly.Linglongzhai's rules are very strict, and stealing items from the shop is even strictly prohibited, and offenders will be punished severely.Although Wang Sheng didn't mind sharing the rest of the dim sum with the guys in the shop, it would be a different matter if he took it himself.

Feng Liu quickly knelt down and said, "Master, the little one didn't steal anything from the store. After getting the two pieces of dim sum, the young one went to talk to Mr. Wang, and Mr. Wang also agreed to give the two pieces of dim sum to the little one." of."

Anyway, Wang Sheng was in the county government now, so it was impossible for Wang Qi to ask, but he didn't have the time to argue with Feng Liu about it.

Seeing that Feng Liu's nervous face was about to wrinkle together, Wang Qi smiled and said, "I don't mean to blame you, get up."

"Thank you, master." Seeing that Wang Qi really didn't seem to care about him, Feng Liu stood up tremblingly.

Wang Qi then asked, "Have you eaten all those two pieces of dim sum?"

"The little one only ate one piece, and when she was eating the other piece, Miss Lianyi accidentally saw her. She complained that the little one ate it and was very angry, so she knocked out that piece of dim sum." Feng Liu said with some regret.

Wang Qi asked again: "How much did the other guy eat?"

"Maybe three yuan." Feng Liu said.

Wang Qi turned to Xinglin and said, "Xinglin, the degree of poisoning of these people is different. Is it related to the amount of snacks they eat? Feng Liu ate less, so the poisoning was mild. Zhang Huai ate more, so it was more serious."

"There must be a certain relationship, but it is also related to the poison content of the dim sum itself and the individual's body." Seeing Wang Qi's question, Xinglin quickly stood up and said: "Although arsenic is highly poisonous, as long as the amount is controlled , can also cure diseases. The young master of the Zhu family also ate a piece of dim sum, and nothing happened. And the dim sum that Feng Liu ate contained a lot of poison."

Wang Qi continued to ask: "If every piece of dim sum contains the same amount of poison as the one Feng Liu ate, how many dim sum do you think can kill you?"

Xinglin calculated it in his heart, and said with some embarrassment: "It's really hard to say."

"Master, this is really uncertain." Qi Xing added: "The young master of the Zhu family is only six years old. He ate five yuan of dim sum at once, but he was rescued by his brother-in-law."

Knowing that asking this kind of question is really embarrassing for Xinglin, Wang Qi can only give up.

At this time, Qi Qing's voice sounded outside the door, "Master, the food is ready, should you bring it in now?"

"Put it in the flower hall." Wang Qi stood up and said to several people: "Let's go eat first, and talk while eating."

Seeing that Wang Qi got up, the others stood up quickly and followed him to the flower hall.

In addition to the familiar servants in the kitchen, there was also an unfamiliar maid who came to deliver the meals.Because there are few women in Zhuyuan, Wang Qi couldn't help but take a second look.

The maid was dressed in a water-green dress, she didn't look young.She brought plates of dishes to the table swiftly and neatly, obviously she was used to these things.Wang Qi was a little curious for a while, when did this maid come to the bamboo garden?

"Aren't you Xiao Cui? Why are you here?" Chang Shun was a little surprised when he saw this woman.

Thought the name sounded familiar, Wang Qi couldn't remember where she heard it.

Seeing that Changshun recognized her, Xiaocui hurriedly saluted and said, "Changshun is in charge, the kitchen is short of manpower, and the servants are here to help temporarily."

Wang Qi looked at Changshun and asked, "Do you know her?"

"Xiao Cui is the girl who follows Miss Lianyi." Chang Shun explained.

When Lianyi was mentioned, Wang Qi remembered that she did have a maid named Xiaocui.It seems that when they were at Dong Jue's place, the relationship between the two was quite close.Later, Lianyi went to Linglongzhai, and this Xiaocui also followed.

Chang Shun looked at Xiaocui and asked: "I heard that all the people in Linglongzhai were taken away by the yamen, why are you here? Could it be that Miss Lianyi is also there?"

After hearing this, Xiaocui's eyes immediately burst into tears, "Miss was also taken away. In the past few days, Miss did not let her servants go to Linglongzhai to help, and her servants have been staying in Mr. Wang's housekeeper, so..."

"So it's like this." Chang Shun sighed, guessing that Xiao Cui was in the same situation as himself.

Xiao Cui continued: "After Manager Wang was taken away, the house was in chaos. Fortunately, Manager Qi came to pick him up, and the slaves and servants went back to the bamboo garden together."

"How long has it been since you went to Linglongzhai?" Wang Qi asked suddenly.

Unexpectedly, Wang Qi would talk to her, Xiaocui was overwhelmed by flattery, and hurriedly said: "Return, if you return to the young master, the slaves have not passed these three days."

"Before this, have you been helping Linglongzhai?" Wang Qi asked.

Xiao Cui told the truth, "The servants live with Ms. Lianyi in the mansion of Director Wang. Whenever the lady goes to Linglongzhai, the servants will usually go with her."

"Oh." Wang Qi responded without saying anything.He frowned, as if he had captured something in his mind.

Something is wrong, this ripple is not right.Wang Qi couldn't help recalling Lianyi carefully.A long time ago, he could feel that Ripple didn't like him, but he couldn't understand Ripple either.

Wang Qi remembered that some time ago, Lianyi offered to go to Linglongzhai for help, and then something happened.Is it all just a coincidence?However, the snacks that were knocked out of Feng Liu's hand, and Xiao Cui who was left at Wang Sheng's house in advance...connecting these clues, no matter how you look at it, it seems to be premeditated.

However, Wang Qi quickly overturned his conclusion.He had concluded before that Linglongzhai's traitor must have something to do with Wang Long.And it is impossible for Lianyi to have a relationship with Wang Long.These years, she has been staying at home in Zhuyuan, basically never seeing outsiders.Even if he went to Linglongzhai, he probably had no chance to meet Wang Long.

Just when Wang Qi wanted to dismiss this idea, her eyes suddenly caught Qi Qing.

By the way, Qi Qing once said that Mrs. Xue also went to burn incense in the temple.It is possible that Lianyi had contact with Wang Long's people in the temple, and that's why she was bribed without anyone noticing.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was possible, and Wang Qi's brows became more and more wrinkled.

Wang Qi didn't have anything to say, Xiaocui was not sure whether he would ask questions, and didn't know whether he should leave, so she was a little embarrassed for a while.

Fortunately, Qi Xing saw that the dishes were almost served, so he let them all go down.

"Young master? Young master?" Qi Xing's voice interrupted Wang Qi's deep thinking, "What did you think of?"

"No." Smiling and shaking her head, Wang Qi asked Qi Qing to lead Feng Liu to the kitchen for dinner, and then said to Chang Shun, "How is Lianyi doing in Linglongzhai?"

"How do you say that?" Chang Shun said with a smile: "It's not that the young lady said that Miss Lianyi is not good. The young master also knows that she is an elegant person who plays strings and can't do much work. She can't even cook, why not Xiaocui is useful. It's a pity that Miss Lianyi has to stay in Linglongzhai, so Director Wang can only arrange some light work for her. Usually, she can help boil water, deliver tea and so on, and she won't be tired."

"Can she come into the kitchen?" Wang Qi asked.

Chang Shun said with a smile: "Of course, she often goes to the kitchen to bring us tea. In fact, she is really not suitable for staying in Linglongzhai. If she is not indifferent to everyone, I think she Did you fall in love with someone from Linglong Zhai!"

"Although Lianyi is a bit older, she still looks pretty." Wang Qi asked calmly, "There should be quite a few guys in the shop who like her."

There are many rumors about Lianyi in Linglongzhai, many of which involve Wang Qi.But Changshun took it as rumors and never took it seriously.Seeing that Wang Qi was actually paying attention to this issue, Changshun was not sure what the relationship between Wang Qi and Lianyi was for a while.

"In the beginning, there were indeed a few guys who were interested in her, but Miss Lianyi had high eyesight and looked down on us vulgar people. Usually, people seldom talk to us, that is, they talk more to Mr. Wang. Brother Although they don't know a few words, they are not people who can't understand the value of eyesight. They don't mean that, so let's forget it." Changshun said cautiously.

Wang Qi nodded, and stopped asking, but said: "The food is getting cold, you should hurry up and eat."

"Master Xie." Several people responded and picked up the bowl.

Changshun was already hungry, and as soon as Wang Qi finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and started eating.Qi Xing often eats at the same table with Wang Qi, and he is not restrained.On the other hand, Xinglin just lowered his head to pick up the rice in the bowl, and didn't even know how to pick up the vegetables.

Knowing that she was there, Xinglin definitely couldn't let go.Anyway, after asking all the necessary questions, Wang Qi told Qi Xing to take good care of Xinglin and Lianshun, then got up and left.
