() Steward Xu looked solemn, shook his head and said: "Three doctors came last night, and two more doctors were invited in the early morning. Now all five doctors are in the house, and their wife is also with them. Until now, they They all stayed in the house and didn't come out, the old slave doesn't know about the master's current situation."

Yuan Chongshang frowned, but housekeeper Xu had already said, "My lords, please sit in the room first."

At this moment, there was the sound of a carriage from behind, and even after seeing a carriage parked in front of the door, Kou Qing and Lu Lengyue got off the carriage one after the other, Kou Qing was wearing official robes, and Lu Lengyue was It was a jade belt in brocade clothes and a box in his hand. Seeing Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan, the two stepped in quickly. Housekeeper Xu hurriedly saluted, and Kou Qing and Lu Lengyue also stepped forward to salute Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan.

That night Chu Huan aggressively asked the Lu family to collect debts. At this time, Lu Lengyue seemed to have never had such a thing, and she was still very respectful to Chu Huan. Xu Steward led a few people to the main hall, and Kou Qing said as he walked: "My lord , the guards have blocked all the gates in the city, and the people from the Ministry of Criminal Affairs are also searching for Liu Laoliu in the whole city. Investigate Liu Laoliu's daily interpersonal relationship, Liu Laoliu's hometown is in Qingzhou, and the officials have already rushed to his hometown, even if Liu Laoliu can't be found, all his family members will be arrested." . .

Yuan Chongshang frowned and said, "Since Liu Laoliu dared to make such a deadly move, he must have carefully planned in advance. I'm afraid your people will go to his hometown, and you will have nothing to do."

Kou Qing frowned, and said solemnly: "This is really amazing. Someone dared to kill Commander Li. If the subordinate officer finds out the real culprit, he must be cut to pieces."

Lu Lengyue asked beside him: "My lord, how is Commander Li doing?"

"The doctor is still inside." Yuan Chongshang said: "There is no news yet, let's go to the lobby and wait for a while to see the situation of Commander Li."

Lu Lengyue handed the box in her hand to Steward Xu, and said, "This is an old ginseng produced in Liaodong, you can send it there first and see if it is useful."

Butler Xu thanked them again and again, and led a few people into the lobby. After they were seated, he arranged for people to serve tea, and then retreated.

Several people were sitting in the living room, and Kou Qing took the lead and said: "Commander Li treats people kindly on weekdays, and I have never heard of such an enmity with anyone. Why did the other party make such a deadly move?"

Yuan Chongshang took the tea and blew the tea powder, and said: "You are the head of the Department of Criminal Justice, you still need to investigate this matter clearly. I, the commander of Anyi, was poisoned, if you can't find out why, you, the Department of Criminal Justice There is no need to do the main job."

Kou Qing hastily said yes.

"My lord, is it possible that Huang Tianyi's people did it?" Lu Lengyue asked from the side.

Yuan Chongshang shook his head: "I can't be sure for the time being, but the possibility of Huang Tianyi is extremely low. To kill someone, there must be a reason. It is absolutely impossible to murder the commander of the dignified guards for no reason. If it is absolutely necessary, there must be a reason." The other party will never attack easily for the purpose of man. Commander Li and Huang Tianyi have had little contact with each other. Although Huang Tianyi is a traitor to the party, he does not have much enmity with Commander Li. Why did he kill Commander Li? Even if Huang Tianyi wanted to kill someone The first one who wants to kill is the governor, and the second is probably Fang Tongzhi. Fang Tongzhi's imperial guards besieged Yusuo Lake. Commander Li’s guards did not mobilize this time to suppress the bandits, so why did he attack Commander Li?”

Everyone only felt that Yuan Chongshang's words were very reasonable, and they all nodded slightly.

Chu Huan remained calm, took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup, and suddenly said: "My lord, as far as I know, as disciples of Taoism spread all over the country today, it is rumored that a governor was also stabbed by people of Tianmen Taoism. The command envoy was suddenly poisoned, is it possible that it has something to do with Tianmen Dao?"

"Tianmen Dao?" Yuan Chongshang frowned even tighter.

Chu Huan glanced over the faces of several people, and then he saw Kou Qing shaking his head slightly and said: "Master Chu, the foundation of Tianmen Taoism is in the southeast, and we in Anyi have never heard of people from Tianmen Taoism making trouble."

"You may have heard that there used to be a rebellious party from Tianmen Dao in Tongzhou, Xishan Road." Chu Huan said slowly: "Since people from Tianmen Dao can appear in Tongzhou, they may naturally appear in Anyi."

Yuan Chongshang pondered for a while, and finally asked Kou Qing: "Didn't there be a demon Taoist who was bewitching everywhere half a year ago, and you were arrested and thrown into the prison. Later, the governor didn't ask. Are those Taoist priests involved with Tianmen Taoism?"

Kou Qing immediately said: "My lord, those Taoist priests have personally interrogated them, but they are just charlatans who want to cheat ordinary people out of their money. They have nothing to do with the Taoism of Heaven. But those Taoist priests are still being imprisoned now. In the big prison, the officials did not release him."

At this moment, I saw Steward Xu rushing into the lobby, "My lords, the master is awake!"

Chu Huan glanced quickly, seeing that everyone present showed expressions of surprise, Yuan Chongshang stood up first, and went out the door, "The governor is going to see the situation."

Several other people also got up, and under the leadership of Steward Xu, they came to the courtyard where Chu Huan had visited last night. After Wangsun's accident, the guards obviously strengthened the protection of the Commander. The door of the room was opened, and when Chu Huan and others arrived, they saw several doctors coming out of the room.

Seeing several officials coming over, the doctors hurriedly bowed their hands, Yuan Chongshang had already asked: "Commander Li is awake?"

A doctor nodded his head and said: "Auspicious people have their own celestial features. Commander Li escaped a catastrophe, but it is not appropriate to talk too much at this time. His body is extremely weak. The needle detoxification was given last night. Although the toxins were cleared away, Mr. Li's The body has also been greatly damaged, without three or two months of recuperation, the body will hardly recover."

Kou Qing said: "We just went in and took a look."

Yuan Chongshang had already turned around and said: "Master Kou, you and Lu Dong's family should go back first and investigate the real culprit as soon as possible. The governor and Master Chu can just go in and have a look. He has just woken up, so it is not suitable for many people." Not much to say, and Chu Huan entered the room one after the other.

When Chu Huan arrived at the house, he saw that a couch had been set up temporarily in the inner room. Wangsun Li was lying on the couch at this moment, and Mrs. Li was sitting aside to take care of it. Seeing Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan coming in, Madam Li hurriedly got up, and was about to salute, Yuan Chongshang stretched out his hand to stop her, walked to the side of the couch, saw Li Wangsun's eyes were closed, his face was pale, his lips were chapped, and his breathing was very weak.

Mrs. Li leaned close to Li Wangsun's ear and whispered, "Master, the Governor-General has come to see you."

Li Wangsun barely opened his eyes, saw Yuan Chongshang, smiled wryly, "Master Governor, forgive...forgive me, I can't...can't get up...!" But Yuan Chongshang shook his head and said: "Old Li, don't talk too much, the Governor Just come and take a look, as long as you are safe and sound. Don't worry, the governor has sent someone to investigate the real culprit, and he will always give you an explanation."

Li Wangsun's voice was weak, the man who used to be hard-pressed was now soft and weak, "My lord, this officer... this officer can't figure it out, in the end... who is going to kill this officer...!"

Standing next to Li Wangsun, Chu Huan said softly, "Lord Li, since the Governor-General said to find out the real culprit, you can rest at ease and don't think too much about it."

"Master Chu, thank you...thank you for coming to visit." Li Wangsun's eyes shone slightly, "I am afraid that some people... some people will be disappointed. Master Chu wants to... take care, be careful... ...Be careful of the people around you...!"

Yuan Chongshang frowned and said: "Old Li, don't say too much, just look at your appearance, just take a good rest. You don't have to worry about Master Chu, even if someone plots to do something wrong, I am with Master Chu, no one can hurt him."

Li Wangsun sighed softly: "My lord, Xiaguan... I also expressed my feelings. Liu Lao Liu was in Xiaguan's mansion... for five or six years in Xiaguan's mansion. Xiaguan trusted him very much. Who knows...who knows One didn't realize it, but was harmed by the people around him...!" He sighed lightly, greatly embarrassing.

Chu Huan said softly: "Lord Li, don't worry, I will remember what you said. You should rest well, and I will come to see you again when you are free."

Yuan Chongshang had already said to Mrs. Li at this time: "Madam, don't be sad. Fortunately, there is no danger. Lao Li has chosen his life to come back. As long as he is alive, it is better than anything else." Looking around, he asked: "That's right, the little girl isn't here?" She seemed to understand something, and sighed: "It's better if the little girl doesn't know, let's keep this matter from her for a while."

Madam Li's expression became weird, but she still said: "Ying'er is not at the house, she was sent to my concubine's family last month."

"Oh?" Yuan Chongshang seemed a little surprised, and went to see Li Wangsun, only to see that Li Wangsun had closed his eyes, he just woke up, although he only said a few words, his face was already full of tiredness.

"Lord Chu, let's go first and let Lao Li have a good rest." Then he said to Mrs. Li: "Madam, the governor will send fifty imperial guards over. Before Lao Li recovers, the fifty imperial guards will He is fully responsible for protecting Lao Li's safety."

Madam Li saluted, "Thank you, Governor General."

Yuan Chongshang and Chu Huan bid farewell to Li Wangsun and his wife and left the house. Just as they walked out the door, they heard Mrs. Li calling from behind: "Lord Chu, please wait a moment."

Chu Huan was taken aback, then turned around, and saw Mrs. Li coming over with a blue and white porcelain bottle in her arms, "Master Chu, this is given to you by my master. My mother's family has two porcelain kilns that produce porcelain. Before the master was poisoned, I just said that I would give one to Mr. Chu to enjoy when I turn back. This is made by my concubine's natal family, and I ask Mr. Chu to accept it. The master praised it before. The blue and white flowers on this kind of porcelain vase are beautiful. pastime."

Chu Huan took the porcelain bottle and said with a smile, "Thank you, Lord Li and Madam."

Yuan Chongshang reached out to take the blue and white porcelain vase, turned it over in his hand, looked at it, and couldn't help but said: "Old Li warrior was born, but he studied and played porcelain. Compared with him, this governor is really just a warrior." Joking In the meantime, he returned the blue and white porcelain vase to Chu Huan.
