Xie Haoran got off the morning court, asked the Holy Majesty for a leave of absence, and went back to the Xie Mansion outside the palace.Although the mansion occupies a large area and is close to the palace city, the lintel is very low-key, following the style that the eldest son Xie Chengming, a fourth-rank civil servant, can use.There is a sign hanging, and it is just the simple words "Xie's Mansion".At first glance, it is far inferior to the mansions of those high-ranking officials and princes in Beijing.

But who in Beijing doesn't know that this is the residence of "Inner Prime Minister" Xie Haoran?Even the ordinary first and second rank officials would not dare to belittle Xie Haoran when they saw Xie Haoran, and the rest of them would not make mistakes.Xie Haoran hurriedly left Miyagi with a cold face, and no one dared to touch him.

After entering the mansion, Xie Haoran changed into his regular clothes, and went to the desolate courtyard in the northeast corner without stopping.When I got there, I found that there was no one there. I snapped my fingers to summon the shadow guard nearby and asked, "Where did Wuyao go?"

The shadow guard briefly reported Wuyao's situation from yesterday afternoon to now.

Xie Haoran frowned and looked at the dilapidated room with empty walls, stared at the blood-stained sheets on the bare wooden bed, and asked in a bad tone: "No doctor healed him?"

The shadow guard couldn't figure out the master's intentions, but the master was very strict with no medicine in the past, and rarely allowed others to treat him with no medicine. Yes, Dr. Wu came here yesterday. His subordinates saw that he went to the kitchen to pick up two buckets of hot water, and then poured out several buckets of blood. Wuyao was unconscious all the time. After the rain stopped, he was taken to the guest hospital by Liu Shaoxia. It should be sleeping in Liu Shaoxia's room. Early this morning, Wu Yao accompanied Liu Shaoxia out, and I heard that he was going to visit Liu Shaoxia's senior."

"Wuyi is just an ordinary wound medicine, which is useless to Wudao. What about Wuyi?"

"I went to Tai Hospital in the rain yesterday, and I haven't returned home yet."

"You back down." Xie Haoran sighed with a gloomy expression, did not leave, but entered the room.

The door of the room had been blown open by the wind a long time ago, and because of the rain yesterday, the ground in the room was very damp.The door of the low cabinet was also open, and there were two stacks of clothes, one seemed to be new clothes, and the other was washed white and blood-stained old clothes that were often worn without medicine.A broken bowl, a pair of wooden chopsticks, a cabinet and a bed, nothing else in the room.

Xie Haoran knew that Wu Yao had been living here, and when he was not on missions, he was recuperating in such a crude place.In winter, this north-facing house is extremely cold, but there is never a brazier.At first, he ordered him not to give it, but later he didn't ask for any medicine.Wuyao has always been very smart and well-behaved, knowing that what he can't get has never been extravagant, and the same "mistake" will not be made a second time.

But yesterday in the torture chamber, the fragility without medicine was really a bit abnormal.Combined with what the shadow guard said just now, it is easy to understand that he is unconscious again without medicine.Sure enough, Qianshuang's toxicity is too overbearing. With Wuyao's deep internal strength and tough personality, she can't stand it, and she will faint from pain from time to time... I don't know if Wuyi can get an antidote or prescription from the Tai Hospital.

Since Wu Yao and Liu Guanqing are getting along pretty well, shouldn't we mention his identity again, so as not to be looked down upon by the son of the martial arts leader?Since the injury is so serious, Wu Yao insisted on going out with Liu Guanqing early in the morning, what did they do?

Xie Wuyao didn't know Xie Haoran's entangled thoughts at this time, he was walking happily with Liu Guanqing on the street.

Last night, I slept with Liu Guanqing on the comfortable big bed in the guest room, with brand new and soft quilts, and the human-shaped heater Liu Guanqing was warmed up. I didn’t have to get out of bed when I was thirsty in the middle of the night. Someone put it to my mouth, not to mention how comfortable it was .

I had a good meal for dinner, slept soundly all night, and felt much better in the morning.Liu Guanqing asked him to go to pay a visit to the martial arts seniors in Beijing, so he was naturally willing to go.

It is said that the senior spent a lot of money and kept a lot of good medicines in his family. When the junior came to visit, he would at least treat him to a big meal.If the conversation turns out to be speculative, the elders will send some money and flowers, and the quality of life will be improved immediately, without any effort.

Liu Guanqing bought a few presents on the street, and was reluctant to let Xie Wuyao hold them, so she carried them all by herself.The two of them did not ride horses when they went out today. Many streets in central Beijing do not allow civilians to ride horses. Firstly, there are many pedestrians on the streets, and secondly, it is convenient for officials who ride horses to maintain law and order.Rich people go out in cars and sedan chairs, and ordinary people walk on two legs when they go shopping.However, there are also preferential treatments. For scholars with high reputations above the scholar level, or military officers with military ranks, the elderly over the age of 60 do not need to abide by the restrictions on riding horses.

"I knew the road was not close, so I should have hired a car." Seeing Xie Wuyao's pale face and walking slower than ordinary people, Liu Guanqing couldn't help worrying about his body, "Don't hold on, if the pain is severe, rest for a while .In fact, you just stay in my room to recuperate, why bother to come out together."

"How can you let the guests go shopping by themselves, and I'm lazy in your room? If the master finds out, I will be beaten again." Xie Wuyao smiled and said truthfully, "Besides, the weather is good today, so go out and enjoy the sun Sun, the injury will heal quickly. Didn’t you say that your senior is very enthusiastic and forthright? I will follow you to have a delicious meal, and then ask for some high-quality wound medicine to prepare, it will serve multiple purposes.”

While talking, I saw Peng Qiang passing by with two subordinates on horseback.When Peng Qiang saw Liu Guanqing and Xie Wuyao, he couldn't help reining in his horse, and said hello: "You two young heroes, what a coincidence, why don't you go to Peng's residence?"

Liu Guanqing didn't want to go to Peng's mansion, so she bowed her hands politely and said, "Thanks to Mr. Peng, but today I made an appointment to visit a senior. I will go to your mansion to bother you when I have time."

Peng Qiang originally said polite words, so he didn't delay if he still had important matters.But after riding far away, he still asked his subordinates: "I heard that Liu Guanqing lived in Xie's mansion?"

One of the subordinates replied: "Yes, it was a message from Leader Liu, asking to see Mr. Xie. The master of Xie's mansion is the eldest son Xie Chengming. He has friends all over the world, and he may also be someone who knows the Liu family."

Peng Qiang asked again: "How about the investigation of Xie Wuyao's origin?"

"Yesterday, Xie Wuyao entered the Xie Mansion with Liu Guanqing, maybe he really isn't from the Xie Mansion, but just Liu Guanqing's friend from the world."

Hearing this, Peng Qiang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there are so many people with the surname Xie in the world, it is impossible for any one with the surname Xie to be related to Xie Haoran, why should he be suspicious.Let’s get down to business and go to Dali Temple to investigate what serious crimes the Royal Physician Lin committed when he delivered the baby of the first prince. Why are the Royal Physician Lin, Lin Po, and Lin Wu all named Lin? Is it a coincidence or has something to do with it? ?

Liu Guanqing handed over the name card and was invited into Muye's house.This house is in Nancheng, surrounded by commercial streets, bustling and bustling, the house is not too big, and the carved beams and painted buildings are small and exquisite, which is also the standard for wealthy households among the people, and it has the taste of a big hermit in the city.

Xie Wuyao followed Liu Guanqing in and sat down before Liu Guanqing started.

A moment later, a rich middle-aged man who was covered in silk and satin, wishing to wear twenty rings on his ten fingers, walked out from behind like a walking treasure shelf.

Xie Wuyao followed Liu Guanqing and stood up to salute.

Liu Guanqing said familiarly: "Uncle Mu, this junior has come to your place to enjoy the autumn breeze again. This time not only came by himself, but also brought a friend."

Mu Ye laughed, narrowed his small eyes, and said lovingly, "Nephew Liu Xian is willing to bring friends with him because he thinks highly of your uncle. I have opened two more restaurants, a casino and a brothel in Beijing. , you bring your friend to play, and I will tell you to go on and not charge you money. After all, your mother asked me to help you find your wife, which one do you like? Tsk tsk, your friend is also a good-looking talent, I don't know where the teacher came from, but is there a marriage contract?"

Although Liu Guanqing knew that this senior Mu was generous, she had always avoided making contact with her in person, because she was afraid of introducing blind dates.

This Makino's own martial arts is not ranked high in the Jianghu, but he runs various low-level businesses under his name, and he is very well-informed.He had been favored by Liu Kaishan back then, and after he made his fortune, he sent generous gifts to the Liu family in Hangzhou every year. He also said that as long as he was a member of the Liu family, he would get discounts for eating, drinking and playing in the properties under his name. good hospitality.However, he has a personal hobby, which is to be a matchmaker.Because he was well-informed and made a lot of friends, he really matched up and made several loving couples.

Liu Guanqing's mother, the Zhou family, was also a well-known chivalrous woman back then, and seeing her son grow up day by day, she naturally wanted to find a reliable marriage for him.It is true that I entrusted Makino to recommend.

Before Liu Guanqing went out, her mother didn't ask anything else, she just repeatedly emphasized that she should visit those martial arts seniors as often as possible, make friends, and meet a girl she likes, don't wait stupidly, and take the initiative to attack.

It's a pity that Liu Guanqing is not interested in the girl. He coughed awkwardly and said, "Uncle Mu, I'm still young, and I want to play for a few more years. Marriage, I really haven't thought about it."

Makino stroked the short beard on his chin, and said, "That's right, you're just in your early twenties, you should play more, and after marrying a wife, it's not appropriate to go to a romantic place. My newly opened brothel, the number one The girl has only turned sixteen, and she has both sex and art. Why don't you go and sit with her tonight?"

Xie Wuyao, who knew Liu Guanqing's sexual orientation well, couldn't hold back his laughter, so he picked up his teacup and drank a few sips of water, thinking it was none of his business.

Unexpectedly, Liu Guanqing changed the subject and said: "Uncle Mu is right, there is no medicine, let's go to see girls together tonight? Maybe there is one you like. You don't have a marriage contract, just relax?"

Xie Wuyao spit out all the tea, wiped his face with his sleeve, and said without concealment: "Thank you, Senior Mu and Brother Liu, I... don't like women. If Brother Liu wants to go, I will not be able to accompany you .”

Liu Guanqing was ecstatic when she heard the words, but on second thought, maybe Xie Wuyao was just too thin-skinned.Even Xie Wuyao lived like an ascetic monk in the past, never been to a romantic place, and it is understandable that he does not know the benefits of women.He persuaded with a guilty conscience: "Don't be shy, I've never been there before. Let's learn more together as a companion?"

Makino also persuaded that the two juniors are all good-looking talents, born so handsome, and if they go to the brothel, they will be willing to serve even if it makes the girls crazy.This can be regarded as a benefit from his boss to the girls.

Seeing that Xie Wuyao was unwilling to live and die, Liu Guanqing also stopped joking and stopped talking about visiting brothels, and turned to the topic and asked: "Uncle Mu, actually we came to you for something else. I heard from my mother that you His business is also established in the Northern Kingdom, and he has collected many rare treasures and high-quality medicinal materials that were not available in the Southern Dynasty. I wonder if there is anyone who can cure the poison of 'Qian Shuang'?"

Makino's face changed slightly when he heard the words, and he pondered for a while before saying: "I personally went to the north more than ten years ago, and indeed I collected some rare medicinal materials. There is a bottle of it that is said to be the antidote of 'Qian Shuang', but the poison has long been It disappeared from the rivers and lakes, and later someone bought it from me at a high price, so I sold that bottle of medicine."

"Oh, is there really a ready-made antidote?" Liu Guanqing was even more excited than Xie Wuyao when she heard the words, "Uncle Mu, who bought the antidote and how much money did it cost? I will pay double the price to find him and buy it back." .”

"Oh, what a pity. That man has been dead for more than ten years." Makino sighed deeply, "Doctor Lin has been studying medicine all his life. Back then, he spent his own money to collect medicinal materials from the north, saying it was for research. I brought back a lot of medicinal materials. , he bought it at a high price. Who knows, his whole family was ransacked for committing a crime.”

"Uncle Mu, does Uncle Mu know that there are any descendants of that imperial doctor Lin who are still alive? Even if the property of that precious medicinal material was confiscated, it should be handed over to the national treasury, right? You can always find out." Liu Guanqing's thoughts were very clear. .

Xie Wuyao was very relieved, he didn't expect Muye to be so predictable here.And with Liu Guanqing offering to help, the chances of him finding the antidote increased a lot.And Liu Guanqing's thinking is very correct, next, she will gather together the clues from Lin Wu and Wuyi, and after a little analysis, she might be able to get the antidote earlier than the original book.

"Don't worry, I'll arrange someone to inquire immediately. It's already noon, why don't you two nephews have a meal together first?" Mu Ye greeted warmly.

The table was filled with delicacies from mountains and seas, Xie Wuyao feasted his appetite, and the antidote was also in the works. For the generous elders like Liu Guanqing, this long-term meal ticket is really worth the money.
