After wearing the book, she got the wrong script

Chapter 174 Investigation
Bai Fu searched all over Huang's mansion, but couldn't find Master Huang Er, so he had to return to Detian Pavilion without success.

That night she slept extremely restlessly again.

Bai Fu wondered if he was dazed.

Ever since she heard that the road was frozen to death, she didn't know how many times she had dreamed about the plague.

It's more real than ever.

Once in a dream, she seemed to hear someone calling her mother and telling her to go home quickly, because it was dangerous outside.

And when she wanted to rush home in a panic, she was in a daze and couldn't remember where her home was.

Last time she dreamed here she suddenly woke up.

It was the same today, she woke up again.

Bai Fu got up restlessly and poured himself a cup of tea.

what happened.

It's really not her nature.

At the same time, Rong Qiniang and Bai Fu who were far away in Qingzhou had the same dream.

But she didn't have the same confusion.

According to the plot, in the spring after the snow disaster, there will be pox epidemics, and the origin is Huaizhou, which borders Raozhou in Qingzhou.

Rong Qiniang's health is much better now, and she won't be out of breath after walking a few steps. She has made a step-by-step fitness plan for herself, and implements it every morning and evening.

She has always been a person of great perseverance and execution.

After exercising, she took the handkerchief handed over by the maid to wipe off her sweat, went back to the room, took a shower, changed clothes and sat down at the desk.

The maid Qi Tao came over to help her grind the ink, "Miss, do you want to draw this today?"

The young lady has been painting for an unknown amount of time, and the painting has been changed, and the painting has been changed, over and over again.

Rong Qiniang didn't speak, and continued to think deeply.

Daddy said that the Prince Regent had obtained the petroleum cannon as he wished, and he didn't know which one would be better than the petroleum cannon or hers?
These days went back and forth, not because she didn't remember her previous designs, but because she wanted to make it more perfect and made a lot of improvements.

She looked at it with satisfaction and put down the pen.

Qin Tao hurriedly took the booklet carefully to the long table beside it to dry, and after finishing all this, she turned to Rong Qiniang and asked, "Miss, is this the last book?"

Rong Qiniang nodded.

Let father dedicate this to the regent, and from then on, her family's cannon fodder fate will be completely changed.

"By the way, have you bought enough realgar, wormwood, atractylodes, angelica and wine at home?"

Before going to sleep, Rong Qiniang asked worriedly.

Qin Tao: "Miss, don't worry, the house is fully prepared."

Early the next morning, as soon as Rong Zhizhou put on his official uniform, his servants notified Rong Qiniang that he had arrived.

"Why is Qiniang so early?" Rong Zhizhou asked.

Rong Qiniang smiled.

"My daughter wakes up early and comes here after morning exercises."

As she said that, she handed the two booklets to Rong Zhizhou, "Daddy, back then the Taoist priest taught my daughter something. At that time, my daughter was confused and didn't understand it. Now that she is healthy and her mind is clearer, she remembered it. You should use Got it."

Rong Zhizhou opened it to look, his expression changed drastically.

It turned out to be the manufacturing diagram of the oil cannon.

Let's read another book, which is some local recipes for preventing pox.

"Is this really taught by the Taoist master?" Rong Zhizhou asked with a face full of surprise.

Rong Qiniang nodded, without further explanation, just said:

"Both matters are of great importance. My daughter dare not lie, and my father must use it properly."

After sending his daughter away, Rong Zhizhou stayed in the study for a long time, and finally called his confidant counselor:
"One copy will be distributed throughout the state, and one copy will be sent to Yuandu immediately."

Day two.

Yunqi didn't bring back any useful news, but brought a piece of bad news——
Rumors spread that the briquettes are poisonous, and Hei Gem didn't see a single guest when he opened the door today.

This was unimaginable in the past. Before the door opened, people started queuing up for fear that they would not be able to buy it.

"Don't rush"

Bai Fu signaled Yun Qi not to worry, "I have already arranged for people to go to the Huang family, wait for the news, remember these losses first."

Yunqi nodded and stopped asking.

Qin Shisan and Luo Jin went to look for Huang Qiuyang early in the morning, but was told that Huang Qiuyang was ill and asked his master for leave, and hadn't come to the academy for four or five days.

Luo Jin hurried to the town to tell Bai Fu the news, and Qin Shisan went to the mansion to inquire about the news. As soon as he reached the gate of the mansion, he saw Mr. Fei coming out of it.

"What's the matter, Mr. Fei?"

Halfway through Qin Shisan's question, he felt that this was nonsense.

Xiao Si was there yesterday, so it must have been Xiao Si who went back and told Mr. Fei, and hurriedly changed her words:
"What did Xu Zhizhou say?"

Mr. Fei shook his head.

"There was a lot of commotion yesterday, but no one came to report to the officials, and the government office is not clear about the situation for the time being."

Qin Shisan suddenly understood.

"It really looks like a game"

Otherwise, why didn't he report to the officials about the almost fatal incident.

The two came out of the government office and went directly to Detian Pavilion. When they met Luo Jin who was going out, Luo Jin shook his head, "Young master just went out for something."

Bai Fu and Yun Qi went to Yuande Bookstore again, but were told that the bookstore was closed today, and the huge bookstore was empty.

"Are you avoiding us?" Yunqi was very surprised.

It stands to reason that they were just waiting for Bai Fu to show up, so why did they hide instead?
Bai Fu was also puzzled, thought for a while and said:

"Someone in the Huang family seems to be sick, could it be delayed?"

"How could it be such a coincidence!" Yun Qi expressed disbelief, "Yesterday caused trouble and today he is sick, who will believe it?!"

Bai Fu couldn't say that she went to visit Huang's house at night, so he only said vaguely:

"The family said that the grandson of the Huang family has been ill for four or five days and has not been to the academy. There is no news about the second master Huang. You can ask the assistant to inquire about it."

Yun Qi angrily kicked the gate of Yuande Bookshop, turned around and walked towards the carriage, took two steps and found that Bai Fu hadn't followed, turned around to look, but there was no sign of Bai Fu.

Yun Qi was startled, and looked at An Ge'er, "Where's Mr. Bai?"

An Geer calmly pointed to the alley.

Yun Qi hurriedly followed, but when she ran into the alley, she only saw the corners of her clothes flying white against the wall.

Yunqi: "."

With your style, how can I guess that you are a woman?

Yunqi looked left and right, and jumped into it as well.

Bai Fu walked around the yard and stopped at the door of a house.

"Can you pick a lock?" she asked.

Without further ado, Yun Qi stepped forward and opened the lock with a few paws, "My sister is not good at doing business, so she is definitely No. 1 in unlocking."

Bai Fu glanced at her.

Since knowing that she is a woman, this sister seems to have let herself go even more.

This is a cashier's room, and Bai Fu rummaged through it, but found no useful information.

The two went to the scene of the crime again--
The room where the guys sleep.

In fact, it is a Datong shop, which looks good, but the airtightness is far from the standard of poisoning.

There is a coal stove in the house, and there are also traces of coal, but it looks like it has been around for a while, and it was not newly fired in the past two days.

"There is nothing to doubt, [-]% is the work of the Huang family." Yun Qi said angrily after hearing Bai Fu's analysis.

Bai Fu didn't speak.

Only slightly sighed.

"Don't look at it, let's go."

The two quickly climbed over the wall and went directly to a nearby restaurant. In order to vent their anger, Yunqi ordered all the signature dishes.

"I have to blame the Huang family for this meal." She murmured while ordering.

Bai Fu glanced at her, and waited for the man to leave before asking:
"The grievances between the Cheng family and the Huang family, have you asked clearly?"

"Of course I found out clearly," Yunqi told the news.

More than ten years ago, the youngest son of the old man of the Cheng family and a girl of the old man of the Huang family looked at each other right.

Mr. Cheng sincerely came to ask for marriage, but Mr. Huang looked down on the youngest son of the Cheng family, and without a word, promised his daughter to an official family in Yuandu, breaking up the two of them abruptly.

The youngest son of the old man of the Cheng family is also very affectionate. When he learned that the girl he liked was forcibly sent away, he ignored the opposition of his family and chased after him. Who would have thought that he would encounter a robber on the way, and his leg was injured and he suffered from a leg disease. Now he can only walk with a cane .

Since then, the grievances between the two families have ended like this.

In order to play a game, the Cheng family made a rule that no matter when and where the Cheng family saw the Huang family, they would never give in.

"That's why Master Cheng proposed marriage to you just to get angry with the Huang family." Yun Qi said with a half-hearted gossip.

Bai Fu's mouth twitched slightly.

Is it worth it to get angry about this kind of thing?
"These are not important. The important thing now is to quickly invite the Huang family out and find a way to stop the loss in time." Bai Fu said.

Yunqi said, "How about an appointment?"

Bai Fu: "Could it be that it still depends on the date? Naturally, we will come directly to the door!"

After eating, Bai Fu and Yun Qixiong prepare to go to Huang's mansion with high spirits. The two walk out of the restaurant one after the other, and meet Luo Jin at the door.

"Have you not gone back yet?" Bai Fu asked in surprise when he saw Luo Jin.

Luo Jin was talking about what Qin Shisan and the others had confirmed in the government office.

After hearing this, Bai Fu said he understood, and then urged Luo Jin to go back to Xiaoxi Village.

Luo Jin walked away with a worried face.

Yun Qi clicked his tongue twice, "You are a good brother."

Bai Fu turned around and got into the carriage, telling An Ge to go to Huang's house.

At the gate of Huang's house.

A man who looked like a butler was embarrassed when he heard that Bai Fu begged to see Master Huang Er.

"Master Bai, the second master may not be able to see guests for a while."

"What about Elder Huang?" Bai Fu asked after thinking about it.

The housekeeper shook his head: "Elder Master can't see guests either."

"Where's Huang Qiuyang and Huang Linger?"

"They can't either, please come back later, Mr. Bai."

Bai Fu narrowed his eyes.

"Can you tell me why?"

The butler cupped his hands and stopped answering. He apologized and closed the door directly.

Yun Qi was so angry that she wanted to knock on the door again, but Bai Fu stopped her this time, "Forget it."

"What is it? The Huang family is amazing."

Unable to swallow this breath, Yun Qi directly passed Bai Fu, without knocking, and directly hammered.

No one came out this time.

After Yunqi knocked enough, Bai Fu spoke:
"Even if the money for treating his hands is going to be on the Huang family's head, it's you who will be hurt."

Yunqi suddenly felt a bit at a loss.

I knew it was on my feet.

Bai Fu suddenly turned around and walked to the side, Yun Qi was startled, and strode to follow, "Are you going over the wall this time too?"

Bai Fu didn't answer, turned around, stretched out his hand, and pulled out a person from a recessed corner of the wall.

Yunqi stopped.

Yuan Zitai obediently let Bai Fu carry him with a cold face.

Bai Fu was about to ask him why he was here when he heard the young man yell "Dad"

Bai Fu was stunned by the phrase "Dad succeeded".

Then he understood and bent his lips, "Hey, you're so cute."

Yuan Zitai looked at Bai Fu, feeling that something was wrong.

(Xiandi: Your Lao Tzu's coffin is almost overwhelmed!)
"Did you come out today?" Bai Fu asked.

Yuan Zitai was inexplicable: "I am going back today."

Well?
Bai Fu let go of Yuan Zitai, took a step back to look at him, and said for a while, "You haven't been back to Huang's mansion these days?"

Yuan Zitai didn't know why, but he nodded obediently.

Bai Fu moved out of the way and gestured please: "Then you go back quickly."

Simply inexplicable!
Yuan Zitai tidied up his messed up clothes angrily, glanced at Bai Fu and Yun Qi, and walked towards the gate.

Yunqi came over.

"Who is this person from the Huang family?"

Bai Fu thought for a while: "Huang Qiuyang called him little uncle."

What? !

Yunqi almost lost his leg.

There is no one other than Concubine Fu's son who can be called a little uncle by the grandson of the Huang family.

"Fu, Lord Fu?"

Bai Fu: "Huh?"

Ah for what.

Yun Qi pointed to Bai Fu, and then pointed to the back that seemed to be running away, "What did you do to Lord Fu?"

Bai Fu touched the tip of his nose.

"It's nothing."

Nothing to blame!Yun Qi looked at Bai Fu suspiciously.

While speaking, Yuan Zitai had already reached the gate, and he frowned when he saw the closed gate.

Why is there not even a gatekeeper in broad daylight?

He knocked on the door.

No one should answer.

He tapped on the door.

Still no answer.

"it's me!"

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw two more figures looking at him not far away, and he didn't give his name.

But the housekeeper who had been guarding the door heard it.

The door was quickly opened, but it was only a crack. The housekeeper poked his head out eagerly, and said in a low voice:

"Oh, Lord Fu, this old slave has been guarding you for a long time. The government has taken over your house and said that there may be a plague. You should continue to live in the other courtyard. Don't come back during this time."

Speaking of which, the housekeeper handed over a token and letter that had been prepared earlier, and exhorted the old father like:

"If you don't have enough money, you can go to any shop to get it. When the mansion is ready, the old slave will pick you up."

Yuan Zitai's eyes turned cold, and he didn't answer the token and letter, "Is the family all right?"

The housekeeper dared not lie.

"Master is fine, the old lady has passed the critical period, and the second lady and Young Master Qiuyang, Miss Yu'er are being treated."

"But it's because of me?" Yuan Zitai asked cryptically.

He never believed in any accident that happened to him. The Huang family's old house has always been fine. This kind of thing happened only a few days after he came back to visit relatives.

The butler sighed.

"My lord, don't think about it too much. My lord has explained it in the letter. You will know it after reading it."

Only then did Yuan Zitai take the letter, met the butler's eyes, turned and walked in another direction.

Bai Fu looked thoughtfully at the direction Yuan Zitai left.

Even the little uncle can't get in, it seems that something big has happened to the Huang family.

Bai Fu looked up at the high courtyard wall, said nothing, got into the carriage with Yun Qi and left.

Bai Fu stayed in the town, and Yun Qi continued to send people to make inquiries from the side.

Two days passed after this inquiring.

Black Gem remained unattended as before.

Various rumors began to spread in the town.

It is said that the poison of briquette is colorless and tasteless, and it can make people stunned if it is light, and it can make people stupid and die if it is heavy.

New things are not easy for people to accept, and now there are so many scandals.
As a result, the briquette, which was so beautiful for a while, became uninterested, and some people even covered their noses when they saw the briquette slag.

No matter how Black Gem refuted the rumors, it didn't work.

Other coal shops in the town were also affected, especially the Guo family. Aunt Yu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Now is a good time to make money, and she doesn't know when it will recover!
Cheng Siniang went back to Cheng's mansion and went to look for Yunqi, but she didn't say anything, she just looked embarrassed and said that if Mr. Bai wanted to know, he could go to Cheng's mansion to find Mr. Cheng.

Yunqi understood, and after sending Cheng Siniang away, he found Bai Fu and truthfully conveyed Mr. Cheng's invitation.

Bai Fu said she knew, but she didn't go directly to Master Cheng, but first went to Yuan Zitai who was staying in Hualou.

"How did you know I was here?"

Yuan Zitai covered himself in tight underwear with a quilt, with a look of surprise and vigilance.

Bai Fu sat down at the table with a calm demeanor, as if in her own room, she smiled and said:
"I was quarantined after the Huang's family was trapped. I think you, little uncle, have an obligation to clean up the mess for them."

Yuan Zitai: "."

Guessing that this guy must be ignorant of the inside story, Bai Fu didn't go into detail about the cause and effect, but simply talked about the Yuande bookstore.

Yuan Zitai understood.

"You want me to come forward and order the shopkeeper to refute the rumors?

Bai Fu nodded.

"Why should I help?" Yuan Zitai had already put on his clothes and sat beside Bai Fu, and said calmly with the corners of his lips curled up after listening.

Bai Fu thought for a while, "Because I'm your father?"

Yuan Zitai looked puzzled, "What does Dad mean?"

Bai Fu smiled: "My native dialect is probably what you often call "Bai Zi Da Ge."

Yuan Zitai's face darkened suddenly, narrowed his eyes dangerously, and said:
"You want to be my big brother?"

Except for those who are dead and useless, the only ones he can call brother are the current majesty and the regent. This kid is really brave.

Bai Fu already knew Yuan Zitai's identity, but she didn't intend to expose it, so she just said innocently:

"I don't want to either. Who told you to lose to me?"

Yuan Zitai: "Do you know who I am?"

Bai Fu nodded, "My little brother."

Yuan Zitai was silent for a while, thinking of something, he didn't refute, but smiled and said:

"Elder brother can't just be reluctant to give up, and younger brother also has a favor and wants elder brother to help."

The next day, Bai Fu went to Cheng Mansion.

After reporting his name at the gate of Cheng's mansion, Bai Fu was quickly brought in front of Master Cheng.

"The young man has figured it out?"

Hearing the people below tell Bai Fu to see him, Master Cheng drank tea leisurely in the living room and waited.

Bai Fu shook his head.

"Master Cheng is well informed, I want to ask you what happened to the Huang family?"

Yuan Zitai said that the housekeeper told him that someone in the family was sick, but he didn't tell him what the illness was. He only asked him to play outside for a while to avoid getting sick.

He wanted Bai Fu's people to find out what the disease was, so he could feel at ease.

This statement is full of loopholes.

He is a prince, it is not easy to check these things, why ask her for help?
But Bai Fu complied after listening.

Left and right she wants to investigate, but she is worried that there is no good reason to intervene, and if someone sends it to her door, she should not reject it for nothing.

Master Huang calmly took another sip of tea, swallowed it down, and then spoke slowly:
"The Huang family, I'm afraid something will happen to them."

Sure enough, Mr. Cheng knew a lot, Bai Fu didn't answer, and looked at Mr. Cheng seriously, waiting for him to continue.

Mr. Huang smiled.

"Young man, shouldn't the most important thing for you now be to solve the crisis in your shop? I heard that your shop doesn't have a single buyer, why ask about the Huang family's business?"

"I don't want to either."

Bai Fu sighed, walked to the empty seat beside Master Cheng, sat down and said:
"I am also entrusted by others."

A trace of suspicion flashed across Master Cheng's eyes, but he didn't ask who was entrusted. He thought for a while and said:

"No one from the Huang family has come out these two days, and outsiders can't get in. I guess it's blocked by the government, so don't go in this muddy water."

Bai Fu's eyes flickered, but he still asked calmly:
"Blocked? Why?"

"The government is under strict supervision. No news has come out, and the details are still unclear."

Master Cheng pondered slightly, and said again:
"However, I know that the snow stopped a few days ago, and the shopkeepers of his family's various shops in other places came to deliver the account books. After that, the Huang family invited doctors several times."

Bai Fu nodded.

Although there was no news, she saw with her own eyes that someone in the Huang family was indeed sick, and it was normal to ask a doctor, which proved nothing.

Mr. Cheng said again:
"The one who got sick at the beginning was a shopkeeper from the north."

Traveling in this kind of cold weather is really easy to get sick.

Brother Yao once complained that running darts in this terrible weather would kill people, but Bai Fu didn't think it was worth Mr. Cheng's point of view.

"And then?" Bai Fu asked.

Master Cheng: "The snow disaster in the north is more serious than Bailu Town, so the journey must be uneven."

"I know this," Bai Fu took over, "I heard that some days ago there were frozen bones on the road, but what does this have to do with the Huang family?"

Mr. Cheng has a young man's expression that you are still too young:
"Young man, do you think frozen bones are just frozen bones?"

Frozen bones are not just frozen bones, it may also mean that there are more unknown deaths behind it.

That's why Bai Fu started preparing alcohol when he heard the news.

It's just that there is no news of the plague outside these days, and the plague usually spreads from places where the poor gather, so she couldn't be sure whether the Huang family had anything to do with the plague.

Bai Fu looked at Old Master Cheng.

"So, you suspect that the plague was brought to Huang's house?"

"Old man, when I was a child, I also experienced a similar cold winter. At that time, I was begging with my parents. I saw countless tragedies along the way, and my parents also fell ill and died one after another." Old man Cheng said solemnly, "This time It's even more serious than that time, the Huang family was suddenly locked down, fearing that some of them may have been infected."

Bai Fu asked Mr. Cheng for more details.

Mr. Cheng didn't hide it, but this time the government moved really quickly. Not only did outsiders get no information, but they couldn't even find out more about Mr. Cheng's contacts.

If you want to know the details, you still have to find a way to inquire from the government office.

"What is the main business of the Huang family? Is it related to animals and poultry?" Bai Fu asked after pondering for a while.

Bai Fu naturally had her consideration for asking this question.

The Huang family has a big business, and the shopkeeper who can come to the Huang's house to deliver the account books must have a certain status. Food and lodging are guaranteed along the way, and the possibility of contacting the plague of the poor is logically unlikely.

If it wasn't for human-to-human transmission, Bai Fu felt that the transmission route of animals and poultry also needs to be considered. If it is a business, there may be some indirect contact that cannot be avoided.

Raw animals?

Old Master Cheng glanced at Bai Fu inexplicably, this kid was begged by the Huang family, but he didn't even think about investigating the Huang family's background?

He opened his mouth slightly mockingly:

"The Huang family thinks they are noble. How do they do such a lowly business? They are all bookstores, pawnshops, spice shops, porcelain shops, and medical clinics."

Bai Fu heard something, and asked again:
"Master Cheng, besides the firewood business, do you have other livelihoods?"

"They're all unworthy."

Master Cheng left this sentence and stopped, as if it was really not worth mentioning.

Bai Fu smiled.

"Then I don't know if my briquette business is worthy in Master Cheng's eyes?"

Master Cheng stroked his beard and laughed.

"Old man, I was afraid of the cold back then, and I started my business by relying on this firewood business, so not only do I not feel that your business is not good, but I think it is very good."

"That's right! No wonder I think you can talk to Mr. Cheng!"

Bai Fu flattered frankly:

"For me, Bai Fu, there are only two kinds of business: making money or not making money. There is no difference between being on the stage and not being on the stage. The reason why I asked you if you have other livelihoods is to ask you to inquire about some things."

Seeing Bai Fu, Master Cheng's eyes lit up again, and he replied:
"The Cheng family also has some longevity utensil shops, medicinal material collection shops, butcher shops, and grain shops."

It's all people's livelihood business, Bai Fu's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Then I'm sure you're right to inquire about this matter!"
