Daughter's Poisoned Wife

Chapter 34 False alarm
The little guy was looking down at how much more wages he could get when he heard a rough roar: "Dude..."

The little boy was startled, and he quickly looked up, only to see a burly man in civilian clothes stepping into the shop, he hurriedly smiled and said, "My lord, what do you want?"

The clothed man said harshly: "I don't want anything, I just ask you what those two people bought just now?"

As soon as the young man heard that he didn't buy anything, he immediately lost his enthusiasm for greeting, and said impatiently: "It's none of your business what people buy, I can't tell you."

"How dare you..." The big man in common clothes roared and rushed to the counter in three steps and two steps, grabbed the boy by the front and lifted him up. Said: "Come here, rob..."

"Who wants to rob!" The big man roared and immediately threw the boy away. The boy's back hit the tall medicine cabinet behind him, and he hissed and gasped in pain.

"Second, you're messing up again!" A deep reprimand came, and the boy took a peek, only to see a middle-aged man in his 30s walking in quickly, and it was he who made the reprimand.

"Brother, this kid..." The thick and thick man pointed at the boy to explain something, but the middle-aged man waved his hand and said, "Go out, let me ask."

"Little brother, those two people are from our house just now, you just need to tell me what medicine they bought, and this ingot will be yours." The buddy shook in front of him, seeing the greedy look in the boy's eyes, a smile appeared on his face.

"Those two bought more than 40 herbs just now, and they didn't follow the prescriptions. They grabbed three or two of each." The young man stared at the silver ingot and said hastily.

"Didn't you take the medicine according to the prescription? What kind of medicinal materials did the young master buy, quickly make a list." The middle-aged man asked in surprise and immediately gave orders.

"This... lord, it's not that the little one didn't obey your orders, it's because the medicine was not taken according to the prescription, so the little one didn't keep the roots." The little boy said in embarrassment.In fact, Mammy Liao rewarded him with an extra five qian just now, so he didn't follow the rules to keep the roots of buying medicine.

The middle-aged man didn't believe it, so he reached out and grabbed the account book to look it over, but he didn't see the bottom slip, he threw the small silver ingot casually, and said leisurely: "If you can remember what medicinal materials that young master bought , this ingot is yours, if you can't remember..." He didn't finish the sentence, but the protracted ending made the boy understand everything.

The little guy tried his best to recall, but in the end he only remembered more than 20 herbs, which is not easy.After all, the more than 40 herbs purchased by Du Heng were not prescribed according to the prescription, and the herbs were not related before.

Seeing that the boy couldn't think of anything more, the middle-aged man gave the little silver ingot to the boy, and walked out together with the stout man.

"Brother, you said that the general asked us to follow up and find out what those two people were doing? They don't look like spies?" The burly man asked puzzled.

"Second brother, the general has his own intentions. If you want to waste anything, just follow the general's orders. Go faster, the market is too chaotic, you have to join the third and fourth to protect the two superiors." Our errands will not be completed until we get in the car." The middle-aged man said in a low voice, and then he and the burly man chased in the direction Du Heng and Mammy Liao left.

Xu Shi was seen by the little guy when he was giving change when buying medicinal materials at the Heren Medicine Store just now. After Du Heng and Madam Liao left the medicine store, the two men with ghostly eyebrows and eyes followed closely. When they went up, their target was very clear, and that was Mammy Liao, who was carrying a large bag of medicinal materials. The five taels of money that the boy found just now were collected by Mammy Liao, and she didn't take it very strictly. Tuck a purse of silver around your waist, and it's fairly easy to steal.

The two thieves who were eyeing Du Heng and Nanny Liao ran from behind, one from left and the other from the right. The one on the left planned to squeeze between Du Heng and Nanny Liao to attract their attention, and the one on the right could steal the purse.However, when the two men started to push forward, they suddenly felt their backs tense, and they were immediately picked up. Before the two could yell out, they heard someone behind them yelling: "Folks, There are two thieves here, let's see if you have lost any money?"

As soon as the people in the market heard the shout, everyone subconsciously touched their purses and bags, and found that the people who had lost their money rushed towards the two thieves, and they formed a circle in a short time. The crowd shouted angrily that they would send the thief to the police.Mammy Liao also touched her waist and felt the bulging purse. Mammy Liao couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, she quickly pulled Du Heng and said in a low voice, "Master, it's too messy here, you should hurry back, we will return later." There is a chance to go out for a walk.”

Du Heng nodded again and again. There are more people in the market now than before, and it is difficult for people to move around. Du Heng has never seen so many people. After the initial curiosity, she began to feel uncomfortable. adapted.The two masters and servants squeezed out of the crowd, and they stopped looking at the roadside stalls selling various goods, but hurried out of the market.Neither of them noticed that there were three or four men secretly following and protecting them. They didn't turn back to the market until they got into the carriage driven by Yang Hu.

Du Heng and Nanny Liao returned to the Qingfengyuan of Tanjing Temple smoothly. Yang Mei, who was waiting very anxiously, ran forward to meet the girl when she came back, and shouted eagerly: "Miss, you are back... , if you don't come back, slave girl..."

Du Heng was in a rare good mood today, she unexpectedly joked with Yang Mei uncharacteristically: "Yang Mei, what will happen to you if I don't come back?"

"Girl, it's getting dark today, if you don't come back, the servant girl will have to sneak out to look for you!" Yang Mei said anxiously.

Du Heng pulled Yang Mei's hand, a smile appeared on her usually cold face, and she said softly: "It's okay, we're not coming back now, don't be afraid."

Momo Liao saw a little smile on the girl's face, and she cried excitedly. After seven years, she finally saw a smile on the girl's face again.And Yang Mei stared blankly, she opened her lips slightly, and stared at her girl with a pair of eyes, without even turning her eyeballs.

Du Heng felt uncomfortable being looked at by Yang Mei, frowned and said lightly, "What are you looking at, Yang Mei?"
