[Red House] Raiders of life

Thinking of his son pulling him just now, regretting not to be reconciled, but saying with infinite expectation, "I don't know if the thing in Shen's belly is a man or a woman", now hearing the news that Shen's red, Wang Heng's face changed.

Wang Heng's wife has passed away, and the Shen family has been taking care of the mansion in recent years.Shen Shi had a lot of reactions during the pregnancy in the past few months, and her spirit was not good, so she handed it over to Wang Ziteng's wife, Min Shi.

Wang Heng glanced at Wang Ziteng, "You brought Dr. Geng there. Tell your wife to let her look at it." Then he thanked Dr. Geng, "Please trouble Dr. Geng."

Dr. Geng is a doctor's parent's heart, and he doesn't care about it.Wang Ziteng hesitated in his heart, the matter of poisoning has not yet ended, how could he just leave.But if he didn't leave, wouldn't Wang Heng see the abnormality even more?In this way, he had to grit his teeth and agree.

As soon as this person left, the other Baizhang came to report in a hurry. There was a blue brick floor in Cao Meng's room that could be moved, and there was a small partition underneath it.A bottle of medicinal powder was found in the space of the partition, and there was another box.There were dozens of banknotes in the box, totaling as much as 10 taels, and there was also a land deed for a house.

Wang Heng was horrified, if it was just some taels of silver, it would be fine.A son like Cao Meng, who has been with him for so many years, is rewarded from time to time, and he also has various errands.Naturally, I have plenty of money, but it is really surprising that there are so many 10 taels.In particular, Cao Meng is a domestic slave, how can he settle the mansion outside?

Wang Heng took the bottle of medicine powder with trembling hands. Although he trusted Cao Meng, he was nothing but a slave no matter how much he trusted, and he was completely incomparable with his eldest son.Especially the more trusting the person, the more ruthless his heart will be once he finds out his betrayal.

"Master, do you want to interrogate Cao Meng?"

Wang Heng's hand holding the medicine bottle tightened inch by inch, and he just said "Look closely", then turned and left.Seeing his demeanor, Bai Zhang didn't dare to follow him, so he could only watch Cao Meng seriously.

Wang Heng went into his inner study, opened the secret compartment, and his bottle of Furong dimple was still there.Wang Heng put him in his pocket, came back, sat beside Wang Zisheng's bed, his heart sank a little.

At the other end of the inner courtyard, someone came to report that the eldest grandma had given birth prematurely.Because of the women's delivery room, men are not allowed to enter.Dr. Geng got the pulse, but he could only tell Mrs. Wen and the doctor a few words, and then he withdrew. He was sitting in the other ear room waiting for emergencies, but before he sat down, he heard the voice on the other side. Another person came to report, and Wang Heng invited him.

Dr. Geng was displeased, why did he come across such a family secret, after thinking about it in the blink of an eye, it was all human life, he sighed, and let it go.

"This bottle is a lotus dimple, and this bottle is just an ordinary medicinal powder for nourishing one's health."

Wang Heng opened his mouth and said: "The eldest daughter-in-law is at an urgent time, and now the fetus is only seven months old, and it suddenly broke out under fright. I am afraid that there will be trouble again, so I invite Doctor Geng to sit in charge."

Doctor Geng didn't ask where the two bottles of medicine came from.Wang Heng recruited his servants to separate the room for Dr. Geng to rest alone, and Dr. Geng also went.

Wang Heng looked at the two medicine bottles and remained silent for a long time.Apart from him, Wang Zisheng and Wang Ziteng, only two cronies, Bai Zhang and Cao Meng, knew about the secret compartment of the study.But it was the person he trusted so much that almost killed his son.

Wang Ziteng hurried over, probably because he knew about the fact that Fu Rongdi was found in Cao Meng's house, his thoughts were spinning fast, his palms were sweaty.At this time, Cao Meng could no longer be excused.Fleur dimple... Fleur dimple...

Although Wang Heng valued him, he also gave his cronies to Wang Zisheng, which meant to transfer his power slowly.How could he not be in a hurry?Wang Zisheng is not a fool, if he is allowed to master these powers, after a few years, even if he has made his mark in the army, it may not be easy for him to deal with Wang Zisheng again.As the eldest son, Wang Zisheng still holds the rules.

Therefore, he couldn't let the prince win.Everything in the Wang family, relationships, power, and wealth belong to him!However, if he wanted Wang Zisheng to die quietly, he didn't have that kind of thing in his hand.After much deliberation, only Furong dimple is the most reliable.In particular, Fu Rong Dian was the secret medicine of the previous dynasty, even if it was poisoned, ordinary people would not be able to see it.Furong dimple has been placed in the dark compartment of the house for decades and has never been used. Even if the bag is dropped, it will not be noticed.That's when he thought about it.

Who knew... Who knew that he had missed Dr. Geng's ability. He thought that even if the Geng family came from the previous dynasty, it would be difficult for many imperial physicians like Fu Rongdi. Even the Geng court judge may not know, Dr. Geng is young, how can he have such abilities?

However, things are so coincidental.Wang Zisheng, who shouldn't have been poisoned, suddenly had a violent attack.And the Geng family actually has such a relationship with Fu Rongdi.

Fu Rongdi, whom he thought to be the most reliable, has now become his biggest handle.Fortunately, fortunately, Cao Meng also knew about Fu Rongdi.Wang Ziteng narrowed his eyes and tightened his heart, no wonder he, people are not for themselves, heaven and earth will perish.

********

Cao Meng sat slumped on the ground, his face pale.He wanted to refute, but how could he refute the things found under the floor tiles of his bedroom, such a hidden location, and those belongings?

His father served the old man by his side when he was conquering the world.He entered the mansion since he was a child, from the old man to Wang Heng, and then to being assigned to Wang Zisheng. According to the temple, he can barely be regarded as a veteran who has gone through three dynasties.Besides, he and Wang Heng grew up together since childhood.When Wang Heng was young, he studied as a book boy, and he was a companion when he practiced martial arts.

This kind of affection is unmatched by anyone in the mansion except Bai Zhang who followed Wang Heng together back then.Even Wang Ziteng, who has always been highly valued by Wang Heng, has to be respected.

Cao Meng smiled, before today, he really thought so.So compared to Wang Ziteng, who was obviously more promising, and Wang Ziteng's various praises, respect and even bribes, he chose him decisively.In his opinion, although Wang Zisheng is the eldest son, he will be replaced by Wang Ziteng one day, and Wang Ziteng treats him better than Wang Zisheng.I voted for Mingzhu earlier and made contributions, so I will definitely be able to be above Baizhang in the future.

However, the so-called goodness is nothing more than taking advantage of it.When his deeds were revealed, he was the one who was abandoned.

Cao Meng clenched his fists with white knuckles.I kept thinking about what Wang Ziteng said when he personally came to escort him over.

At that time, with Bai Zhang present, Wang Ziteng couldn't speak too bluntly, so he said, "Uncle Cao can be regarded as an old man of the Wang family. The Wang family has always treated you kindly. How could you be so foolish and betray the master?" Come on. As the eldest son of the king, he is the next head of the family. Uncle Cao poisoned and murdered the heir-to-be, but have you ever thought about what will happen to you? Uncle Cao deserved what he deserved, but it is a pity that he will bring his wife and children with him. "

Cao Meng was shocked, and looked at Wang Ziteng again. Wang Ziteng was holding a jadeite pendant in his hand.The texture is not the best, but it is carved in the shape of a small fish, the size of two fingers. He saw it when he was shopping for his son last month, and his son liked it, so he bought it for his son to play with.This is the son's personal belongings.

Wang Ziteng threatens the lives of his wife and children, what can he do?For such a big matter as poisoning Wang Zisheng, even if he recruited, Wang Heng would never bypass him, and his wife and children were in Wang Ziteng's hands, so naturally it would not be good.If he complied with Wang Ziteng and took all the responsibility for his crimes, he himself would definitely die, but his wife and children might... He also thought about whether Wang Ziteng would kill the grass, or Wang Heng would take his anger out on him, but at least there was still hope.

Cao Meng gritted his teeth and lowered his head, "But it's up to the master."

Wang Ziteng felt relieved and said, "Father, this kind of slave should be killed directly."

"Wait!"

Wang Ziteng was stunned for a moment, followed the prestige, and saw Qinghe walking in with Lin Ning in his arms.Seeing Lin Ning's floating gait and pale complexion, Wang Heng reprimanded: "Nonsense! You just got rid of the poison and suffered a lot. How can you get out of bed?"

Lin Ning smiled lightly, and walked in slowly and laboriously. The prince stepped forward to help him affectionately, and gave him his seat. Know who is trying to kill me, and why."

Without waiting for Wang Heng to speak, Lin Ning looked at Cao Meng again, "Steward Cao said that this matter was done by you alone. I don't believe this. But any murderer must meet several elements. One is the murder weapon, and the other is ability. , and three are motives."

"This murder weapon is Furongdi, needless to say. Naturally, this ability is also there. Guanshi Cao has a high status in the family, and he is also a father's man. Since my father gave you to me, I have always treated each other with courtesy. , and never doubted it. You meet me every day, and you know my diet and daily life like the back of your hand. Naturally, it couldn’t be easier to poison me.”

Lin Ning paused, and cursed in his heart, if it wasn't for his identity, if it wasn't for the prince's chances of winning, his father would never harm his heart even if he was biased, how could he have such a way?Wang Zisheng made a mistake of underestimating Wang Ziteng, he had already reached out to Wang Heng's side so early.

Lin Ning sighed, and continued: "However, Guanshi Cao wants to kill me. What is his motive? Killing me, what good will it do for Guanshi Cao? I have always respected Guanshi Cao. Guanshi Cao also understands when he thinks about it. So I asked you to follow me because I wanted to get familiar with all aspects of the Wang family earlier. When I take over as the head of the family in the future, Guanshi Cao will naturally be a hero. No matter from what point of view, as long as you are loyal to me, I will naturally not I will treat you badly. In fact, in the past six months, I have never treated you badly. I really can't think of any benefit to Cao Guanshi if I die."

Wang Heng naturally knew such a simple truth.Otherwise, Cao Meng would not be allowed to interrogate himself.

Lin Ning continued: "After much deliberation, there is only one possibility. There is someone behind Guanshi Cao. This person may be intimidating, or it may be a lure, and let Guanshi Cao do things for him. The money and the land deed of Guanshi Cao are The best proof. It's just that, if I die, who will benefit the most?"

The last sentence, which Lin Ning said lightly, made Wang Heng stunned.Most of the people who benefit the most are the murderers behind the scenes. Wang Heng is not ignorant of this truth.However, if it is said that the person who benefits the most, it is none other than Wang Ziteng.He is unwilling to make this guess for a child who has been brought up by himself and given to everyone.

Wang Ziteng was already distracted by this sentence, and said angrily: "Brother, what do you mean by that? Don't you think it was me who did it?"

"Second brother, what did you say? When did I say such a thing?" Lin Ning stared at Wang Ziteng in astonishment, with a dazed look, as if the words were just blurted out without any meaning. The accusation made Wang Ziteng feel a block in his chest.

If Lin Ning really meant to insinuate, he would naturally refute, otherwise, wouldn't it be a seed that was planted in Wang Heng's heart in vain?But Lin Ning's reaction made him unable to say a word of what he said next, as if he didn't have 300 taels of silver here.

Wang Ziteng's breath was stuck in his throat, he couldn't go up or down, and his heart was so depressed that he wanted to strangle Lin Ning to death.But Lin Ning did not continue this topic, but turned to Wang Heng and said, "Father, I wonder if he is a political enemy of our royal family? Although our family has long stopped joining the army, the foundation of our ancestors is still there. We live in a prosperous place like Jinling. In recent years, together with the Xue family, they have built a lot of family business. Besides, the father is Jiang Ning weaving doctor, who is also coveted by many people. It is inevitable that someone will not be eyeing our Wang family, and thus bought Cao Guan to cooperate with others. Father, Guan Cao cannot be killed, this matter must be investigated!"

Cao Meng's heart skipped a beat when he heard that, and he looked up at Wang Ziteng, only to see that Wang Ziteng's eyes were more murderous, and the little fish jade pendant he was holding in his hand was actually broken.Cao Meng's three souls were all scattered, he got up carelessly, and slammed towards the goal post with all his strength.

This change was really sudden, and it would have been possible to catch him by surprise, but who knew that Qing He would come out halfway and hug him by the waist.

The corners of Lin Ning's mouth lightly raised, "Cao Guanshi is really loyal to the person behind the scenes, and he will not hesitate to die to protect him. It's just that I can't let Cao Guanshi get what he wants. Judging by Cao Guanshi's appearance, I'm afraid you won't be able to recruit today. Father , it’s better to imprison Cao Guan in advance. Which bank did Cao Guanshi’s banknotes come from, when did they remit them, and who handled them. If there is a large amount of money, the bank will have a record. It is a slave, and it is not allowed to buy a family business. Who is this house under? Even if it is a nominal person, we can follow the clues."

Wang Ziteng's body trembled almost imperceptibly, and he returned to normal in an instant.Wang Heng accepted Lin Ning's opinion and asked Bai Zhang to detain Cao Meng.When Cao Meng went out, Lin Ning said again: "I also want to remind Guan Shi, don't think about biting your tongue to kill yourself. This kind of practice only exists in drama scripts. Not everyone can bite off the tongue biting method. And even if it is bitten off, it is not always fatal. If it is not dead, even if Cao Guanshi can't speak, he can still write, and Cao Guanshi can read."

These words seemed to be addressed to Cao Meng, but only Lin Ning knew that he was addressing Wang Ziteng.

Cao Meng was detained and watched. He had no weapons, so even if he committed suicide, he could only choose to bite his tongue.And bite the tongue...

Wang Ziteng will never allow Cao Meng to be alive!

Lin Ning glanced at Wang Ziteng intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled softly.

********

With some difficulty, Lin Ning wiped his body with Qinghe's help, fed himself another cup of spring water, breathed a refreshing sigh of relief, and looked radiant, not half dead.

She used the spring water to activate the poison/medicine properties, and then took the pills purchased from the system that made people look weak and dying.In fact, there is no problem at all inside.Even after taking Furongdi, it took only half a year, and with the help of spring water, it has already been combed clean.

Lin Ning casually took a jade pendant and handed it to Qinghe, praising: "Well done."

Qinghe happily complied, he just protected the glass of water as ordered, and kept staring at Cao Meng under Lin Ning's reminder, so he just stopped Cao Meng when he committed suicide, and he got this kind of reward.Look at the water head of Fang Yupei, at least it can sell for 500 taels.He was originally Wang Zisheng's confidant, whether it was himself or his mother, including his younger sister's family, they were all in Wang Zisheng's hands, so naturally he obeyed and did not dare to disagree.Now that he has made great achievements and received rewards, he has made up his mind even more, and must do things well to gain face in front of Lin Ning.

Seeing his happy expression, Lin Ning shook his head and said, "Look at Cao Meng's side, if there is any movement, come and report to me."

There is nothing wrong with Qinghe.

After explaining the matter, Lin Ning thought of Mrs. Shen.

"Is grandma okay?"

Qinghe's face froze, hesitating and hesitating, not knowing whether to speak or not.

Seeing his expression, Lin Ning couldn't guess where he was. His face became serious in an instant, and he said sharply, "Didn't you tell me to keep this matter to Grandma?"

Lin Ning wanted to play tricks to make this matter a big deal, so he naturally thought of a countermeasure, so when Cao Meng went out to ask the doctor, he sent an order to Qinghe to enter the inner courtyard to seal his mouth.

who knew...

From this point of view, the inner courtyard is not going to stop.

Qing He hurriedly knelt down, "Master, the slave has passed the order. But Aunt Cui found out, she slipped her tongue when she was serving Grandma. That's why..."

Lin Ning interrupted him and only asked, "How is Grandma?"

"Grandma, Grandma was stimulated, she saw blood on the spot, and started it."

Lin Ning's face turned pale, mother, this baby is Wang Xifeng.Don't die.There is still her in Wang Zisheng's wish!

"Is there any news from the inner courtyard? Did Grandma give birth?"

Qinghe shook his head, "Never!"

Lin Ning couldn't sit still, he lifted the quilt off the bed as soon as he got into bed, and walked towards the inner courtyard with big strides.That appearance obviously did not listen to Qinghe's persuasion.Qinghe had no choice but to follow.

When we got to the entrance of the inner courtyard, we saw a little servant running towards him, shouting as he ran, "Grandma gave birth, grandma gave birth!"

Looking at it like this, it seems that he is going to the outer court to announce the good news. Perhaps he walked too hastily and bumped into Lin Ning. He looked up and saw that it was the uncle of the mansion, and thought that the uncle had just suffered a crime today. If you are weak, don't knock yourself down or make something wrong, kneel down again and again in fright, "Master, forgive me!"

Lin Ning didn't care about this at all, and said eagerly: "You said that grandma gave birth?"

The boy looked at the joy in the conversation, and saw Lin Ning's face was fair, and said: "Yes. The eldest grandma gave birth to a baby girl! The mother Su who was next to the eldest grandma came to tell her that although it was premature, there were still some births. Nearly six catties, she looks so white and tender, she must be a beautiful woman in the future. She also said..."

Seeing that he was eloquent, Lin Ning hurriedly interrupted him, "How is Grandma?"

"Both mother and child are safe."

Lin Ning finally let go of the big stone in his heart, and strode forward.Since he has already entered the inner courtyard, Qinghe can only guard at the entrance of the courtyard like the young man, and it is inconvenient to rampage into the inner courtyard.So he called a gatekeeper woman over, and told the girl next to the uncle in the inner courtyard to take care of it.

********

In front of the corridor, Fei Cui knelt on the ground, sobbing and crying, she was overjoyed when she saw Lin Ning, but Lin Ning didn't even give her a look, and went straight into the house, and was indeed stopped by several nuns down.

"Master, the delivery room hasn't been packed yet, men can't go."

Saying so, his face was full of joy to see Lin Ning was safe and sound.Lin Ning knew the rules of the Great Wei, and frowned. Seeing that there was a human wall in front of him, and he couldn't squeeze in, he had no choice but to give up.He simply came here to reassure Shenshi's heart, so he asked through the door, and after getting a weeping reply from Shenshi, he said, "I'm fine, Dr. Geng has seen it, and there's nothing serious, you don't have to worry about it." .”

Being able to walk over from the outer courtyard and say such a sentence perfectly, even if she didn't see Lin Ning's face, Shen could know that he should be fine, so she was relieved from then on.

The maids were concerned about Lin Ning's body, and supported Lin Ning from left to right, for fear that he might make a mistake.The woman on the other end is clever, she has brought the baby to show Lin Ning, "Look at you, you are so handsome!"

Most of the newborns are like wrinkled monkeys with unopened brows and eyes, let alone premature babies.Lin Ning was speechless, how could he be handsome?But he didn't refute, and said with a smile: "Reward! Everyone in the courtyard will reward you for three months."

All the servants in the yard smiled and thanked.

Yunling probably got Qinghe's letter, and she didn't dare to make Lin Ning too tired. She had persuaded Lin Ning several times in such a short time, and told Lin Ning to go back and rest.

He was lying in the study earlier because he had a sudden seizure of poison, but after he got rid of the poison, he fell asleep and no one dared to move him.Now that he has arrived here, there is no need to go to the outer courtyard.According to the rules of Wei, the husband cannot rest in the room for a month after the wife gives birth.

Lin Ning sighed, looked at Madam Su and the girls in front of him, and thought they would not let him rest here.He wasn't Wang Zisheng at all, so he was embarrassed when he rested, so he waved his hand and said, "You don't need to go to the outer courtyard, help me to Huaiguangyuan."

With Yunling's support, she walked down the corridor, and Aunt Cui, who had been forgotten by Lin Ning, rushed forward and hugged Lin Ning's thigh, "Master, master, I dare not be disrespectful to Grandma. I was too worried about the uncle, so I slipped my mouth. How dare the servants harm the grandma, uncle! Please ask the uncle to be the master of the servants!"
