Married Thrice to Salted Fish

Father Lin's prescription is to fight poison with poison, and use poison to stimulate the potential vitality of the patient, thereby prolonging his life.The toxicity of the medicine is too strong, and after entering the body, the poison will bring unbearable pain and some uncontrollable side effects to the patient.After only three days of taking the medicine, Lu Wancheng gradually lost feeling in his legs.

Even so, the time it can buy is limited.Every day after winter, may be the last day of Lu Wancheng's life.But as long as he is still alive, Xiao Teng will not be so stupid as to attack the young master of Hou Fu.As Xiao Cheng himself said, he was waiting, and when Lu Wancheng died, everything would be over.

In mid-October, Zhang Shiquan, who had been away from Beijing for several months, was able to return to Beijing.The first thing he did after returning to Beijing was to ask to see the two masters.

During this period of time, Lu Wancheng was asleep most of the time, and Zhang Shiquan only saw Lin Qingyu.

"Young Master, I've found out everything." Zhang Shiquan's voice was extremely low, "The extra income from the Xuzhou Zhuangzi is indeed obtained from operating private salt."

Lin Qingyu's eyes darkened, and he actually laughed: "It's amazing to say that Mrs. Liang is capable, but she can't even protect her own children; it's amazing that she has the courage to do such a thing that would be a death penalty if she is exposed. also."

During the reign of the first emperor, Dayu's private salt was rampant, and repeated prohibitions continued, seriously affecting the income of the imperial court.After the Holy Majesty came to the throne, he vigorously cracked down on illegal salt, and even introduced a new salt law, making it a capital offense to sell illegal salt exceeding a certain amount.However, the profit of private salt is extremely high, and many people still take risks under heavy pressure.Lin Qingyu didn't expect that Liang's family was also one of them.

Lin Qingyu thought for a while, and then said: "If it is private salt, the income on the book should not be so small."

"Young gentleman is wise. Zhuangzi is just a cover, and most of it is in the hands of my wife's family."

No wonder.Compared with the Hou Mansion, Liang's natal family can only be regarded as a small family. They thought that the sky was high and the emperor was far away, and they used the name of Nan'an Hou Mansion Biezhuang to do things cheaply in Xuzhou and make a fortune silently.The local officials in Xuzhou, even if they noticed something, turned a blind eye to it because of the face of Nan'an Houfu.

Given Nan'an Hou's cautiousness, he would definitely not dare to do such a thing, and he was kept in the dark all the time.Once the matter is revealed, the holy majesty may not be as serious as ransacking his family because of his years of loyalty, but the seizure of the house is always inevitable.

Zhang Shiquan asked: "Young Master, do you want to tell Young Master about this?"

"No need." Lu Wancheng is still alive, he is a member of the Nan'an Marquis Mansion in name, and he will be implicated if the matter is revealed.Lin Qingyu looked out the window and said calmly, "After he goes, I will take care of...everyone."

The two talked about a lot of details of the evidence. Lin Qingyu thought that Xuzhou was not far from Hongzhou, and asked, "You came back to Beijing all the way from the south, did you encounter any epidemics?"

Zhang Shiquan looked solemn: "The epidemic is fierce. Once a person is recruited, he will have a high fever and abdominal pain the next day, and his body will be covered with blisters. The weak will die within three days. There are dead people in every village in Hongzhou. The family went north, and patients also appeared in the north one after another, and one day it will affect the capital. I heard that famous doctors from all over the world are gathering at the Imperial Medical Office in order to find a good medicine to eliminate the epidemic as soon as possible."

It was an eventful autumn with precarious wind and rain. This may be the coldest winter day for Dayu in the past ten years.

Low coughing came from the inner room, it was Lu Wancheng who woke up.Zhang Shiquan said: "Young Master, I want to say hello to Young Master, I don't know..."

In the final analysis, Zhang Shiquan was the person Lu Wancheng invited to his residence. Lin Qingyu understood his loyalty and said, "Go, don't stay for long."

Lu Wancheng woke up and wanted to drink medicine, but today's medicine has not been delivered, Lin Qingyu planned to go to the pharmacy to have a look.Zhang Shiquan followed Hualu into the inner room, and saw Lu Wancheng lying on a bunk bed, his face was ashen, and he had to be supported by others even when he sat up, even if he was not a doctor, he could tell that he was already sick, The sun is setting.

Lu Wancheng didn't have much strength to speak: "I'm back."

Zhang Shiquan felt sore: "Greetings to the young master."

Lu Wancheng asked Hua Lu to step back first, and asked: "What Shaojun asked you to do, have you done it?"

Zhang Shiquan remembered that the young master would not allow him to say more, so he said: "Young master, don't worry, everything is under the control of the young master."

Lu Wancheng nodded lightly: "Then what I asked you to do. You can find someone."

"I found it." Zhang Shiquan took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, "This is the token that the young master wanted."

Lu Wancheng moved his finger to signal Zhang Shiquan to open the veil.Zhang Shiquan asked: "Should I tell Young Master about this matter?"

Lu Wancheng shook his head: "The time has not come yet." He thought for a while, and said, "Go find the carpenter in the house for me."

On the other side, before Lin Qingyu was in the pharmacy, he heard the sound of disputes and noises, including the voice of Huantong.

"Blue Wind Pavilion uses this kind of Polygonum multiflorum every day, everyone knows it!"

"The eldest young master's illness is a disease, but the third young master's illness is not a disease. There are not many millennium Polygonum multiflorum pharmacies in total, and they were all taken away by your Lanfeng Pavilion before. What's wrong with us taking some today?"

Huantong said angrily: "How can the illness of the third young master compare with that of the young master!"

Lin Qingyu interrupted: "What's going on."

When everyone saw Lin Qingyu, they immediately shut their mouths, but they were obviously convinced.Now that the main landlord is making a comeback, the eldest young master is dying again, time is running out, the servants are naturally not as respectful to this young gentleman who is about to become a widow as before.

"Master!" Huantong ran up to him and told him what happened with righteous indignation.

Encouraged by his mother and sister, Lu Qiaosong regained his strength and found countless doctors to see him. He took a lot of medicine, but he still didn't see any improvement.He didn't dare to extravagantly hope that he could return to the previous state of seven times a night, he just wanted to leave a queen for himself.

A few days ago, a quack doctor came to the mansion and recommended himself, saying that he had a good recipe to restore Lu Qiaosong's glory.Lu Qiaosong went to the doctor in a hurry, and he didn't care about the details of the charlatan, so he asked people to take the medicine according to the prescription.Among the prescriptions of quack doctors, there is a thousand-year-old fleece-flower root, which is a rare medicine. Even in the Marquis's house like Nan'an Houfu, the stock is pitifully small.

Lu Wancheng's medicine also needs to use the thousand-year-old fleece-flower root. Lin Qingyu spent a lot of money to find some, and kept it in the pharmacy for Lu Wancheng's medicine.Today, Huantong came to get medicine as usual, and happened to bump into someone from Qingdai Pavilion asking the pharmacy clerk to give them some thousand-year-old Polygonum multiflorum from Lanfeng Pavilion.

Lin Qingyu said: "From now on, the medicine in Lanfeng Pavilion will not be kept in the pharmacy. Huantong, take back the medicine of the young master, and we will cook it ourselves."

A courageous nanny in Qingdai Pavilion stepped forward and said: "Young Master, the Eldest Young Master and the Third Young Master are brothers. The Third Young Master needs medicine. The Eldest Young Master, who is the eldest brother, can't let the younger brother go."

"No," Lin Qingyu said coldly, "Tell your third young master that his illness cannot be cured in this life. He will always be a 'useless' person."

The nanny gritted her teeth and said in a strange tone: "Young Master said so, I can only tell the third young master and wife what you said. When the wife enters the palace, I will also tell the side concubine about it."

Lin Qingyu sneered, and said, "You'd better not miss a single word."

Back at Lanfeng Pavilion, Huantong took the medicine and went to the small kitchen to decoct it.When Lin Qingyu came to the bedroom, Lu Wancheng had already sat up.

It is very difficult for Lu Wancheng to get out of bed now, he asked a carpenter to make a small square table that can be put on the bed, and he is lying on the square table and drawing something at the moment.His hands shook so badly that he had to hold the wrist of his right hand with his left hand to forcefully draw.

Seeing Lin Qingyu coming, Lu Wancheng put down his pen and said with a smile, "Ah, my wife is back."

Lin Qingyu: "..."

The word "wife" in Dayu means an old woman, and Lin Qingyu really doesn't know why Lu Wancheng called him that.But he knew that Lu Wancheng had no malice, and was very happy every time he called him that.Perhaps in Lu Wancheng's hometown, "wife" has other meanings, such as referring to friends and confidants.

Thinking of Lu Wancheng's half-dead appearance when he was poisoned, Lin Qingyu acquiesced in his occasional barking once or twice. "Have you met Zhang Shiquan?"

"Well, I've seen it."

"What did he tell you?"

Lu Wancheng coughed twice, and said, "It's just a simple hello."

Lin Qingyu sat down on the side of the bed, and saw that Lu Wancheng had drawn a strange symbol on the paper: an arc was embedded in a circle, and there was a small circle inside the arc, like an eye. "What's this?"

Lu Wancheng didn't answer but instead asked: "Qing Yu, do you know what the doubles have in common?"

Lu Wancheng told him about this question before: "I like to be mean."

"This is one of them." Lu Wancheng said, "Second, these doubles will definitely fall in love with one of the doubles in the end, and they will fall in love with one of them, and seek repentance hard. These doubles will often have the last name Shen, Chu, Bai, thank you..."

Lin Qingyu was glad that Lu Wancheng met him. No one but himself could understand Lu Wancheng's inexplicable words. "You mean, Xiao Teng will have true feelings for a substitute?"

Lu Wancheng smiled and said, "It's really smart."

Lin Qingyu recalled: "Shen, Chu, Bai...Shen Huaizhi?"

Lu Wancheng was surprised and said, "How do you know?"

"You wrote the name."

Lu Wancheng snorted and exclaimed, "This is too smart."

"Then, who is this Shen Huaizhi?" Lin Qingyu asked, "A concubine of the Eastern Palace?"

"No, he is a man. He is Xiao Cheng's shadow guard." Lu Wancheng stared at the pattern on the paper, his lips turned white, "He often hides by Xiao Cheng's side, maybe he has seen us.

Lin Qingyu saw that Lu Wancheng had a sign of poisonous hair, so he said calmly: "Let's not talk about this, you lie down and rest."

At this time, there was a sudden commotion outside——

"Eldest young master needs to rest, third young master please go back."

"Go away!"

"If the third young master wants to force his way in, the servants can only—ah!"

Lin Qingyu stood up: "It's Lu Qiaosong, it must be because of Polygonum multiflorum."

Lu Wancheng coughed a few more times, his face was extremely ugly.

Lin Qingyu was about to ask someone to chase Lu Qiaosong away, but Lu Qiaosong had already rushed in.Lin Qingyu stood in front of Lu Wancheng's bed, frowning coldly: "Get lost."

Lu Qiaosong's face was sickly and ferocious, he no longer saw the flirtatiousness of the past, and even his temper became distorted.He pointed at Lu Wancheng, and said with a smirk: "As long as he is like this, no matter how much medicine he takes, it's useless! Why should he fight with me? Can he still leave a descendant for the Lu family!"

Lin Qingyu didn't want to talk to him: "Come here."

Huantong came with a few servants: "Master!"

"Drag out."

Lu Qiaosong's hands were tied, and he still lingered on, staring at Lin Qingyu: "Lu Wancheng is a half-dead man, how long can you be arrogant, Lin Qingyu? After he dies, what can you, a widowed husband and wife, cause? Fenglang! When the time comes, I should sell you to the Jiaofang Division and let the men take care of it, and it is not in vain that you have such a face!"

Lin Qingyu tried his best to suppress the surging malice.Lu Wancheng needs to rest, he just needs to drive people away.For the rest, it won't be too late for him to settle things with Lu Qiaosong after Lu Wancheng falls asleep.

"Qing Yu, I, I feel a little uncomfortable, Qing Yu..." Lu Wancheng weakly called his name, and suddenly said "uh", bright red blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Huantong exclaimed in shock: "Young Master!"

In an instant, the hostility between Lin Qingyu's cold brows rose sharply.He roughly grabbed Lu Qiaosong's skirt, and slammed it against the pillar: "I want to die."
