Skilled in managing a house

"Masters..." Shao Weige pondered and said, "What masters can he have by his side... He can have some private weapons... There are definitely no masters..."

When he said this, he didn't say it decisively, but rather in a somewhat ambiguous way. It seems that in his impression, his cousin Shao Weixian should not have any masters around him, but given his current situation, he is a little unsure.

"You don't know where your cousin got the fire stone from. Then how did you hear that your cousin had the fire stone in his hand?" Zhang Yu asked.

"I have spies around him. My people just heard that he got a precious fire stone from somewhere and planned to offer it to the family to improve his status in the family. After I found out, how could I Let him succeed, so I went to find him and threatened that this thing must have come from a wrong way and asked him to hand it over to me. Otherwise, he would go to the family to expose it so that he would not get any good results." Shao Weige said truthfully.

After hearing this, Zhang Yu secretly said in his heart that it seems that the conflict of interests among the big families is serious enough.

After Shao Weige finished speaking, he suddenly started coughing non-stop, "Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..."

In fact, his voice was a bit hoarse to begin with, and he was obviously ill.

But this is normal. Being locked up in such a dark place and not getting sick would be abnormal. After all, Shao Weige is not a master of cultivation, he seems to be just a weak scholar.

According to Shao Weige, Zhang Yu has been able to completely confirm that the Fire Essence Stone was indeed not dug out by the Shao family's mines. It simply came from the wrong way. It is hard to say whether it was stolen.

Zhang Yu thought about it for a while and then said: "Mr. Shao, I want to ask you one more thing."

"What's the matter?" Shao Weige said.

"Do you know that some time ago, your family had a boat that went to sea, and was in danger at sea, and only a few people escaped?" Zhang Yu asked.

"How do you know?" After hearing Zhang Yu's words, Shao Weige couldn't help but be stunned and asked Zhang Yu.

When Zhang Yu heard this, he felt happy and immediately said: "Don't worry about this. Tell me first who is in danger at sea?"

"It's my brother Shao Weiping. He purchased a batch of goods from India. Because the goods were very important, he personally took charge of them. When he was returning from the voyage, he accidentally hit a reef and the freighter sank. Only a few of the group came back. ." Shao Weige said.

"I see." Zhang Yu nodded, and then said: "Then, are there any masters around your brother Shao Weiping?"

"I'm really not sure about this...it seems...there shouldn't be any masters..." Shao Weige said uncertainly.

"Is there an Indian beside him?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"I haven't heard of it. If there is, the people around my brother should tell me." Shao Weige said.

"Then after your brother came back, did he tell you how he escaped death? The sea is vast and has no end at all. Even if he is not eaten by a shark, he will probably die of thirst." Zhang Yu said.

"I also asked him about it at the time, and he said that he had been drifting at sea for two days and was lucky enough to encounter a passing cargo ship and rescued a few of them." Shao Weige said.

"That's it... By the way, I heard before that you are the first heir of the family. Who is your brother Shao Weiping?" Zhang Yu asked again.

"Wei Ping is my biological brother, ranked second in the line of succession..." When Shao Weige said this, his heart suddenly moved, and he continued: "Daozhang Zhang, you don't suspect that Wei Ping harmed me, do you?"

"I didn't say that, I just made inquiries." Zhang Yu said.

Shao Weige gave a wry smile and said: "My brother and I have a very good relationship. Of course, when it comes to the interests within the family, any relationship may be unreliable. But I think... If Wei Ping really wants to harm me, I I’m afraid it’s impossible to survive until now…”

Zhang Yu nodded this time and said, "Mr. Shao's words are reasonable."

It's absolutely true. If the second-in-line heir of the family really wanted to harm Shao Weige, I'm afraid Shao Weige would be dead now, so how could he survive until now.

The most puzzling thing is that the person who died at sea was obviously Shao Weiping, so why did the fire stone appear in Shao Weixian's hands. As a result, Zhang Yu was a little confused.

"Cough cough cough... cough cough cough..." At this time, Shao Weige started coughing again and said in a hoarse voice: "Daozhang Zhang, look at what I should do now?"

"Mr. Shao, the current situation is like this. I can only wrong you first and continue to stay here. After you are locked up here, are you sure no one has come to see you?" Zhang Yu said calmly.

"No one has been here...but...I still have to stay here...I can't stay here for one more minute..." Shao Weige said bitterly: "Especially now, I feel that my body is getting worse and worse. It’s getting worse…”

"Mr. Shao is indeed ill, but it doesn't matter. I can use acupuncture to remove the dampness and coldness in Mr. Shao's body first to ensure that Mr. Shao is not in danger of his life. Staying here is an expedient and there is no other way. Please rest assured, Mr. Shao, as soon as the reinforcements arrive, I will definitely be here to rescue Mr. Shao as soon as possible." Zhang Yu said with certainty.

Asking Zhang Yu to take Shao Weige out now is simply asking for death. The Indians outside will definitely kill Shao Weige directly. Not only that, even he, Zhang Yu, might lose his life. Therefore, Zhang Yu must not take this risk.

Seeing Zhang Yu say this, Shao Weige felt a little reluctant, but he also knew that Zhang Yu would not lie to him. Shao Weige nodded and said, "Then there is Taoist Lao Zhang."

At this moment, Zhang Yu took two steps forward and came to Shao Weige.

He asked Shao Weige to lie on the ground first, and then took Shao Weige's pulse. Shao Weige's current symptoms, just as Zhang Yu said, are that the dampness and coldness in his body are too strong, and he is also a little angry.

Zhang Yu had no medicine on his body, so he could only use acupuncture to remove the cold and dampness from Shao Weige's body. In terms of effect, it is definitely not as fast as cupping. Fortunately, Zhang Yu recovered a lot of Qi and was able to combine Qi with acupuncture to increase the curative effect.

After working hard for a while, the cold and dampness in Shao Weige's body was eliminated. Shao Weige immediately felt that his body was much lighter than before.

Zhang Yu said that when he went into the stone room where Shao Weige was imprisoned, he found that Shao Weige didn't say anything. Zhang Yu made a gesture to Nini. The two of them now understood each other. Nini immediately activated the fire beads and let them enter the stone chamber in front.

The three people and the yellow scarf warriors filed into the stone chamber. The stone chamber smelled not to mention how unpleasant it was, filled with a stinky smell. Zhang Yu only needed to take a few glances to understand what was going on. People who were trapped inside also needed to urinate and defecate. There was no bathroom here, so they had to deal with it on the spot.

Fortunately, there are two tanks of water and a lot of raw corn here, which can at least ensure that Shao Weige will not starve to death or die of thirst.
