Chapter 84 Poisoning

"What's the matter?" Ling Qingyu glanced at Jinlan and asked Zisu.

"Doctor Shi said, please go to Shopkeeper Cai immediately after you come back." Zi Su replied.

"Well, let's go now." Ling Qingyu turned around and headed towards Cai Jingfang.

Seeing that Jinlan had closed the door, he told the two servants guarding the door to keep watch, and then asked the other women to retreat, and then he quickly followed.

Ling Qingyu nodded inwardly and waited for her for a moment. When she followed, lowering her head and following behind, she asked: "Who is in the yard?"

"My slave asked them to wait in the front yard and not to enter the back yard." Jin Lan lowered his head and said.

"Well, very good." Ling Qingyu quickly paddled towards the side courtyard. In the afternoon, Jin Lan gathered the servants in the courtyard to the main hall and Cai Jingfang. The backyard was empty, and no one came forward. Finally, one of the dozen or so servants understands, but the other ones who poke their heads in and tell the truth should be dealt with as soon as possible. Since he wants to treat this place as his home, the home must be clean.

As soon as they entered the side courtyard, Shi Fang hurriedly walked out. Seeing his glance, Jin Lan hurriedly called the servants out of the courtyard.

After everyone emptied it, Shi Fang said solemnly: "Poisoned."

Ling Qingyu was startled and hurriedly walked into the room and saw Cai Jingfang lying on the bed. His body was covered with needles and yellow pus was leaking out from several places.

"What poison?" Ling Qingyu asked.

"It's not clear exactly what it is. It's a chronic poison that causes edema in people and then compresses the heart. When it accumulates, his body and heart won't be able to bear it anymore, and he will die suddenly." Shi Fang followed.

"Is it solved?"

"It's not very difficult. As long as he doesn't eat the poison anymore, I'll use a needle to detoxify him. He can recover after a while. Fortunately, it only takes a month. If it were delayed for another month, I'm afraid it would be hard to say." Shi Fang stroked his beard and said.

A month? Ling Qingyu locked eyes with Cai Jingfang, and then asked him: "When did your stepmother come? You said she heard someone say that you have become prosperous here? Who is it?"

"Yan San," before Cai Jingfang could answer, Ling Qingyu turned around and said, "Tell someone to push those two people back and don't let anyone know."

"Not now, there are people watching from outside." Yan San glanced at Yang Zhao and said, "Don't move around tonight. Our people are watching over there. Nothing will happen for the time being."

After thinking for a moment, Ling Qingyu calmed down and said, "Can we find out who incited them to come?"

Cai Jingfang closed his eyes and said, "Xie family."

"You know?" Ling Qingyu stared at him and asked.

"When my stepmother came here, she said that there was a man named Xie who was also a shipping company. She told her that I was prosperous in Hangzhou, but I didn't give them any money. If we talk about poison, my stepmother wants me every day during these times. Go home for dinner, and then she will ask that woman to make soup for me every day." Cai Jingfang felt extremely tired. When they first came, he was surprised and had no idea. What's more, a few days ago, his stepmother changed her previous dislike. Instead, they worked hard to make soup and cook for him every day. He was really touched. Who wouldn't want to have hot soup and rice when they go home after a busy day and a comfortable place to rest. It was precisely because of this touch that they When he found this courtyard and insisted on staying there, he didn't have the heart to drive them back directly. He just wanted to be so cruel, and there was such a vicious intention behind those only warmth.

Xie family, Xie family again! That's right, the Xie family's own ship has never returned, so how could they not be jealous of the Fengshen? It turned out that I was the one who caused him trouble. Ling Qingyu looked at Cai Jingfang with a hint of guilt in his eyes.

"Master, there is a small village in Anji with about eighty acres of land. I wonder if the master can reward me with that village." Cai Jingfang looked sideways at Ling Qingyu and said.

"Of course you can, but?" Ling Qingyu looked at him doubtfully.

"Tomorrow I will personally send them to the village. This is our Cai family's business and has nothing to do with the head of the family." Cai Jingfang said, the village is not only small, but also very remote, and the people around him have strong accents. It is best to confine people. As a mere stepmother, she can be well supported and locked up in Hangzhou, but if this matter involves the Xie family, there is no telling how the two women will be used. The head of the family has silenced the two of them for him, but these two After all, people are still good citizens, and he can only handle this matter by himself. If the head of the family is to come forward, then the Xie family will definitely find an opportunity to get involved with the head of the family.

"Can he get up tomorrow?" Ling Qingyu asked Shi Fang.

Shi Fang glanced at her, raised his head slightly, and said, "You didn't even look at who was treating him. Isn't it just a hole? Isn't it okay for Yan Qi to have such a big hole in his stomach? Well, you don't Don’t worry, I’ll accompany you there.”

"Well, take a few people with you and be careful." Ling Qingyu nodded, hoping that the Xie family would not pay enough attention to Cai Jingfang that they would send someone to keep an eye on him, otherwise it would be really difficult.

"I'll give you a ride tomorrow." Yan San said calmly from the side.

"Thank you very much!"

Nodding to Shi Fang, Ling Qingyu exited the house.

As she walked on the road, Ling Qingyu sighed softly, and then felt her palms warm, and Yang Zhao held her hand.

"Don't worry, I can handle it." Ling Qingyu smiled at him and said. She is mentally prepared for such a large amount of goods. Although the five companies negotiated tonight have agreed to keep it secret, there is no airtight wall in the world, not to mention that this is only one-third of the bulk goods. If all are sold out, , even if you have tens of millions of taels of silver, who wouldn’t be jealous? I just didn't expect that the Xie family would take action so quickly. They probably also found out that the person in charge in Hangzhou was Cai Jingfang. As long as he was killed quietly and the Fengshen did not come back, then the newly established system would Pour it clean, what a vicious thought, what a direct method.

Seeing that Yang Zhao still looked worried, Ling Qingyu waved his hand and said: "It's just that the business war has started early. Don't worry, I know it." He had experienced many business wars in his previous life. Although he would not do this like the Xie family, this kind of provocation would be counterproductive It aroused Ling Qingyu's fighting spirit. Come on, Xie family, originally I wanted to settle a score with you too.

Back in the house, Ling Qingyu asked Yang Zhao to take a shower, then lit a lamp, took out a pen and paper, and began to record the items discussed today, as well as the types and quantities of goods.

Seeing that she was concentrating on it, Yang Zhao shook his head and walked out of the door.

"What food did you bring back?" Yang Zhao asked after closing the door and seeing Yan San placing the food box on the table and taking out the soup can.

"Shiquan Dabu Decoction, do you want to eat it?" Yan San filled a bowl and raised his eyes and asked.

Yang Zhao was stunned for a moment, then sat opposite him and said, "Have a bowl."

"When are you leaving?" Yan San handed him the bowl in his hand and filled it late himself.

"Five days later." Yang Zhao took a sip of the soup. The soup was cold and didn't taste very good.

"Who are you kidding?" Yan San drank the soup in one gulp and poured another bowl.

"Tomorrow, when her affairs are settled, she will go to Wuxian first, and then we will leave from Wuxian. Zhao Pu was generous and gave us thirty horses. We can catch up on the road behind, so we won't miss anything." Yang Zhao frowned, He drank the soup in one gulp and poured another bowl by himself.

"She actually doesn't want you to leave." Yan San took the jar and quickly poured another bowl.

"I know, but we can't just watch those Dangxiang and Liao people invade the Great Zhou Dynasty. It is our duty as generals to protect the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty. What's more, if we don't go and be called, it will really happen. She is rebellious, and that will only hurt her. Besides," Yang Zhao lowered his head and looked at the reflection in the soup noodles, and said, "Her business is so big, if she doesn't have the protection of the officialdom, anyone can overpower her. Insult her as a woman."

"Tsk," Yan San sneered and said, "You are just a general, but you are still trying to take the blame. Are you sure you can protect her?"

"Border wars occur frequently, and military power must be decentralized." Yang Zhao smiled. I will not forget my mission, but it does not prevent me from getting more of what I want.

"We have to deal with the goods tomorrow. Take away those who are watching outside." Yan San looked at the jar and poured out the last bit.

"I know, tomorrow morning, we will go to the Yamen first to get the road signs and traffic signs." Yang Zhao rubbed his head. He didn't expect that there were so many people interested in them. When he walked back, he saw several waves outside. Stalking.

By the time Ling Qingyu finished the goods list, Yang Zhao had already changed the bath water in the side room twice. Seeing that it was very late, thinking that she would have to deliver the goods and collect money early tomorrow morning, Yang Zhao put her thoughts away and honestly climbed into bed and fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Yang Zhao and others dressed up and went to the Yamen without mentioning anything.

Yan San looked at the people watching outside and saw that most of them had followed, then he caught up with the carriage and sent Ling Qingyu to the boat. Then he went back and secretly picked up Cai Jingfang and Shi Fang and took them to the small courtyard where they were kept.

As soon as they arrived at the small courtyard, the guarding sailor began to complain. Yesterday, Yan San disabled the throats of the two people and temporarily cut off the veins in their legs, making them unable to walk. However, these two women were too tormented. I kept hammering on the wall, rolling over, and spent the whole night.

Yan San didn't say much when he entered, and directly tapped the acupuncture points of the two of them, making them unable to even move a finger. Then let the sailors drive the carriage into the yard, load the two people into the carriage with sacks.

Cai Jingfang and Shi Fang got on the carriage, followed by several sailors, and headed for Anji. Yan San hid behind and sent the carriage out of the city. When they saw that no one was following them, they returned to the Fengshen.

The shopkeepers were very kind and brought the banknotes directly to pick up the goods. Ling Qingyu compiled the documents for the quantity and type of goods and handed them to Ding Dong, asking him to arrange the follow-up work.

Some of the goods on the Fengshen had been unloaded overnight and were in the warehouse. The delivery work went very smoothly. Some shrewd merchants saw the bags of goods and came to inquire about them. But when they heard that they were the goods of the Five Families, they He stopped thinking and just looked on with envy.
