Chapter 337 Capture Shang Gong Alive!

Zheng's backyard.

Rong Niang is chopping firewood.

She has a standard posture, a stout figure, and neatly chopped firewood. She already looks like a peasant woman.

From the beginning to the end, Rong Niang's expression was very calm, until she straightened up after chopping a large pile of firewood, and looked in the direction of Ziwei Gongcheng, a soft look appeared in her eyes.

Her child has escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, worshiped a good master, and lived a pretty good life, which angered Shang Gong.

The angrier Shang Gong was, the happier Rong Niang was, but she knew very well that she couldn't further anger this cunning and vicious old woman.

Now Shang Gong still has a lot of worries, and with her as a hostage in his hands, he can still maintain a certain degree of restraint.

If he escapes by himself and makes a fuss, he will have to be prepared for Shang Gong's most vicious revenge every day and night.

The old woman is already very old, and her daughter is constantly growing. One day, the strength of the two sides will be reversed. What we need to do now is to stabilize each other as much as possible and buy time.

After wiping the sweat off her brow, Rong Niang set up firewood again and continued chopping.

But this time, the noise in the distance interrupted the work.

Rong Niang didn't want to pay attention to it at first, everything in Zheng's residence had nothing to do with her, but she was quite familiar with that shrill scream.

She froze for a moment.

Xiangxiu?

The confidant of Shang Gong who is very jealous of his daughter and wants to pretend to be his daughter?
Rong Niang stood there, not knowing whether she should go there or not, but soon other servants rushed over and said anxiously: "Oh, why are you still chopping firewood here? I don't know who poisoned your daughter, come with us quickly. !"

The other servants in Zheng's mansion still have a good impression of Rongniang. After all, they are hard-working and diligent. With Xiangxiu's current status, her mother is still the hardest cow and horse. What can others say?

In addition, Xiangxiu is very good at being a person, and the whole house is well managed. Although it is impossible to be loved by everyone, and there are many people who are jealous behind the scenes, she is still very friendly with most of the servants. Therefore, if something happens to her, immediately Someone came to inform her relatives.

Rong Niang was pulled by her dirty sleeves by the maid, and went to the inner house. On the way, she saw "relatives" gathering there.

On the surface, they are all Xiangxiu's family members, but in fact they are the plum blossom inner guards under Shang Gong's command, with slightly vigilant eyes, scanning around.

The plum blossom internal guards in Zheng's mansion are all Shang Gong's confidantes, the backbone of the plum blossom internal guards.

Although there are not many people, they are all elites, and they can stand alone when they go out.

The reason why they gathered in this governor's mansion was that on the one hand, the Shandong gentry headed by Zheng Rentong, the governor of Luozhou, wanted to take advantage of the imprisoning of senior officials of the Hongnong Yang family to wrestle with the weakening Guannei gentry. They are all entertaining guests, and servants come and go, just to collect information.

On the other hand, the inner guards outside were more and more stringently searching, batch after batch of prisoners were arrested in the inner prison, Shang Gong became more and more afraid of that Li Jiyi, and deliberately shrank his strength to prevent exposure.

However, Shang Gong is extremely cautious, she uses the Governor's Mansion as a stronghold for her subordinates, but she rarely shows up herself, and she will never give the enemy a chance to catch them all.

This is also what Rong Niang is most afraid of. Once the old woman is leaked, the shadowless needle, which is as thin as a vellus hair, will shoot over silently at some unknown time, month, or corner.

Holding the opposite mind from the other Plum Blossom inner guards, she walked into the inner house and saw Xiangxiu rolling on the ground.

This personal servant girl who always had a sweet smile and was always pleasing to the eye, now had distorted facial features and let out a terrific wail: "It hurts me to death! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhsss

Seeing her in such pain, Rong Niang thought that if her daughter was still under Shang Gong's command, she might end up like this one day, so she immediately stepped forward and grasped Xiangxiu's hand with her calloused rough hands , to be comforted.

However, Xiangxiu broke away subconsciously, glared at her with a look of hatred that you don't want to watch me play, and then continued to roll.

Rong Niang's eyes dimmed, she turned around and bowed to the Zheng brothers and sisters, babbling and gesticulating with both hands, anyone could see that she was begging.

Seeing Xiangxiu's other "relatives", they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and fell on the ground together: "Please save the child!"

Miss Zheng's face was ashen, and her growling voice was even a little hoarse: "Who is it! Who poisoned Xiangxiu! My Zheng family has always been the most important family style, let me find out the person who corrupted the family style, and I will definitely give him a good look!"

The corners of Zheng Hui's mouth twitched slightly. At this time, the girl still didn't forget to point fingers at Sang and scold Huai, but she could only agree: "I didn't expect such evil things to happen in the mansion. Once the murderer is caught, he must be severely punished!"

The two brothers and sisters already have excellent acting skills, and the master takes life and death from his servants. Once dissatisfied, it is common to drag them out and beat them to death. No one suspects that they will go around in circles to poison, and then call out to catch the thief.

The servants turned their gazes to each other, wondering who would be the most jealous of Xiangxiu's favor, and many of them even looked at the gourd-like white pearl, imagining the open and secret struggle between the close servant girls for favor.

As for Shang Gong's confidantes, they simply don't care about tracking down the intrigue inside the gate of the mansion.

They must save Xiangxiu's life, otherwise, no matter how much Mrs. Zheng likes this personal maid, once she really dies, this kind of noble girl will never be able to love her house and support her family all the time, and these people will soon die He was kicked out by the steward of the house.

Seeing that the doctor was late, they couldn't hide it, and rushed to Xiangxiu's side: "We have earthen prescriptions in our hometown, and it will be fine if you spit it out, come and help!"

Three or four people held Xiangxiu down, used chopsticks, and buttermilk to induce her to vomit.

They are all well-trained, they don't panic when things happen, and their skills are exquisite. Xiangxiu spit it out quickly.

"Ahhhh-"

But the pain didn't ease much, and he still let out a miserable howl like a slaughtered pig, only feeling like a fire was burning in his chest.

The other Meihua internal guards could only induce vomiting continuously, tossing Xiangxiu like a fish out of the water. At first, her body was still stiff, but after that, she could only pat her tail to show that she was still alive...

Shang Gong's subordinates were both grateful and anxious.

Fortunately, the person is still alive. It seems that the poison is a common poison on the market, not a professional poison. Anxiety is that this kind of poison is not poisonous. Seeing Xiangxiu's painful appearance, I am afraid that he will not be able to hold it. how long……

Several people looked at each other, exchanged ideas tacitly, and then decided to inform Shang Gong.

With a concealed gesture, the inner guards of plum blossoms on the periphery immediately withdrew, left Zheng's mansion quickly, arrived at a designated place outside a street, and began to release paper kites.

It is not a great idea to convey news with paper kites. During the Hou Jing Rebellion in the Southern Dynasties, Emperor Wu of Liang was besieged by Hou Jing. When the city wall was surrounded, he released paper kites to ask for help.

Of course, that was the most critical moment. Now that we are in Luoyang City, there is no need to do this at all, just send someone to deliver the letter.

But Shang Gong has an order that even in the most critical situation, she can only send a kite notice, absolutely not to bring the enemy into her place, and after she receives it, she will show up if she wants to.

The inner guard of the plum blossom looked at the flying kite, pursed his lips, but prayed silently: "Gong didn't succeed, if Xiuniang died of poisoning, and the Zheng family couldn't stay any longer, our situation in Luoyang would be too serious." It's difficult, Lord Shang Gong, you must receive it!"

After sending out the signal, she returned to the Zheng residence with a worried expression, only to find that the doctors had already arrived.

After all, something happened to the governor's mansion, so he must have arrived at the first time, and the attitude must be in place.

But when they found out that it wasn't the Zheng brothers and sisters who were poisoned, but just a servant rolling on the ground, the doctor was relieved. After making a diagnosis for Xiangxiu, he frowned and sighed: "The poison enters the viscera, I'm afraid the medicine will be hard to cure, everyone's condolences." ..."

Miss Zheng's face was full of sadness, and the servants around her were also sobbing silently. The scene was full of sadness, but Xiangxiu's eyes suddenly widened, showing a look of unwillingness: "I... I... still have help..."

She has also cultivated strength since she was a child, and she has a certain understanding of her body. Although the pain is unprecedented, her life is not dead. How can she just express her condolences directly from the mouth of the doctor?
Those who can be doctors are all famous doctors in Luoyang. This one is judged based on her pain level. Generally, the pain is so bad that the poison must penetrate into the internal organs. No matter how good the decoction is, it cannot be cured. There is no mistake in common sense. .

Seeing that the doctors didn't treat her, under the strong will to survive, Xiangxiu couldn't care about other things, and said intermittently: "Look for grandma...grandma is proficient in medical skills... let her save me...!"

The doctor was a little displeased, but he didn't say anything. He stood up, and Miss Zheng stepped forward to hold Xiangxiu's hand, with tears in her eyes: "Xiangxiu...Xiangxiu...you want to see your grandma for the last time, Just go now!"

When the other plum blossom inner guards heard this, they immediately lifted her up and headed out of the mansion together.

At first, their footsteps were like normal servants. When there was no one around, they walked up like flying, walked out of the backyard, and came to the back door of Zheng's mansion, waiting silently.

This waiting process was tormented, not only because of Xiangxiu's uncontrollable screams, but also because they realized that with Shang Gong's temper, they would inevitably impose cruel punishments.

Rong Niang is the calmest among them, and she even feels that Yi Shang Gong's extremely cautious character may not necessarily show up.

Of course, she was so happy that the other party didn't show up, and without the governor as a cover, the old woman's power would be further reduced, and her daughter would be safer.

But at the next moment, the other plum blossom guards at the back door suddenly changed their colors.

Because there was a sudden shout of fighting outside.

"Not good! Xiangxiu's poisoning is a trap!"

"Master Shang Gong has been tricked?"

The inner guards of plum blossoms held their breath, hearing the fierce collision between the two sides, a man's violent drinking seemed to contain infinite resentment.

But soon, the sound of footsteps disappeared quickly, as if the two sides were chasing and fleeing, and then quickly went away.

Everyone in the courtyard breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Shang Gong had escaped safely. Although the other party had painstakingly set up a trap, they were still a bit weak in their attempts to capture the deputy leader of the inner guard of Plum Blossom.

Until a familiar but unfamiliar old scream suddenly came from outside.

What was familiar was the old voice, which obviously belonged to Shang Gong.

What was strange was that the screams of fear and despair were never heard by the majestic Shang Gong before.

Someone finally couldn't bear it anymore, poked his head out, and was horrified to see a man who looked like a god on the other side of the street, stretching out his white jade-like palm, and lifting a woman in the air:
"Nice meeting, Shang Gong!"

"I'm Li Yuanfang, Wan'er's master!"
