Chapter Sixty(1/2)

The border between Daliang and Donghu is Fengjucheng, which is currently stationed by Guangyuan Army. It takes as fast as three days to reach the capital. Chen Ming, Xuan Shaoning, Bai Luoyao and Mu Qingyuan arrived at Fengjucheng at noon on the fourth day.

The city gate paved with bluestone read "Fengju" and soldiers patrolled the city. When they entered the city, the four vertical and four horizontal layout was simple and clear, and the general's mansion was located in the center of the city. Chen Ming and his party first wanted to visit General Yang Jie first.

"We'll investigate the case. When we arrive, we'll go to the general's mansion. How should we say that?" Mu Qingyuan didn't quite understand Chen Ming's intention.

Chen Ming explained: "General Yang is the Master's best friend. We can directly reveal our identity and get help from Guangyuan Army. We are enthroned in a special position. Even if we don't go to visit us, General Yang will sooner or later know our whereabouts."

"Since that's the case, let's listen to Senior Brother Chen." Bai Luoyao was still dressed as a man four days ago. She said to Xuan Shaoning and Mu Qingyuan, and they nodded.

The four of them came to the general's mansion, and Chen Ming handed over a famous post. When the guard saw the letter to Qingshan Academy, he said, "Since you are from Qingshan Academy, you can enter directly without having to pass the news."

"Thank you!" After that, Chen Ming walked straight to the mansion.

It turns out that there is a connection. Since you can directly enter the visit, it seems that Senior Brother Chen’s opinion is really right. Xuan Shaoning said in his heart. After entering the mansion, Xuan Shaoning felt very familiar. The reason for his familiarity was that the layout of the mansion was very similar to that of King Yu’s mansion in Ye Cangcheng: in front there is the school martial arts field, behind it is the meeting hall, and finally the study and bedroom, which are practical and simple.

Walking through the school martial arts field, Yang Jie's figure was already in sight.

"Gen. Yang, Chen Ming, Qingshan Academy, greets you!"

Hearing the sound, Yang Jie walked out of the hall and saw that he was still wearing military uniforms with white hair and hair. When he saw Chen Ming, he laughed heartily, "So it's Bai Shi's tall football. Chen Ming, we haven't seen each other for three years, right?"

"Old General Yang is still strong, and he can still remember his diary so clearly!"

"Hahaha, you, don't call me the old general, I can still guard the throne for many years."

"That's right, I'm just General Yang, I will never add the word "old"!" Bai Luoyao said with a smile: "I am Bai Luoyao, a disciple of Qingshan Academy, please see General Yang!"

Yang Jie looked at the three young men behind Chen Ming with great interest, "Highly majestic and full of energy. Although he deliberately changed his voice, he still couldn't hide the identity of your daughter's family."

Seeing that his identity was easily exposed, Bai Luoyao was not embarrassed at all, but instead smiled: "I say that General Yang is not old, but I didn't expect that his eyes were so sharp!"

"It turns out that he is a disciple of Qingshan Academy, I like it!" Yang Jie's eyes turned to Xuan Shaoning, "Person Xuan, we're meeting again."

"Xuan Shaoning met General Yang, we have fought side by side!" Xuan Shaoning greeted him respectfully.

"That's right, I was very satisfied with your performance at that time. Later, I heard that you were promoted to the lieutenant. I was very happy, but I thought you still have a bright future!"

"Thank you, General Yang, for affirming it, the last general will never slack off!"

"Is this?" Seeing Yang Jie asking about him, Mu Qingyuan also replied loudly, "In Xiamu Qingyuan, he is also a disciple of Qingshan Academy, and they are classmates!"

"Well, compared to them, you are a little more scholarly. Qingshan Academy has always been both civil and military, and the court needs talents like you."

"Thank you, General Yang for your praise, I will do my best!"

"You three, General Yang is one by one, so I can't get out of the stage." Chen Ming pretended to blame him.

"Hahaha, Chen Ming, if you stay and drink with me, I will forgive you!"

"Don't be respectful"

"Okay, come and prepare wine!"

When he followed Yang Jie into the backyard, Xuan Shaoning further understood him. A few conversations had doubled his feelings for Yang Jie. Only one green cypress planted in the backyard, and the banquet was placed under the green cypress.

As soon as everyone sat down, Yang Jie opened the right way. "You must have come here this time to see me. After all, what's going on?"

Xuan Shaoning and the other two looked at Chen Ming, who raised their heads and drank the wine in the glass. "Elder General, our trip is to investigate a case, but this case is bizarre and may involve many people. I hope the old general will forgive me."

"I can trust Qingshan Academy and Baishi's disciples. I just think you are here to drink with me, and I don't ask any other husbands. If I use the place I get, I might as well just say it!" Yang Jie said, filling the four people with wine again. "I'll give you another drink."

"Okay, General Yang please!"

When leaving the General's Mansion, Xuan Shaoning's admiration for Yang Jie became even deeper.

"With General Yang's approval, we will be much more comfortable in doing things." Mu Qingyuan did not expect Yang Jie to be so generous and generous, and he immediately became much more confident in his heart.

Chen Ming said to Bai Luoyao: "Bai Dangjia, we rely on you for our medicinal materials business."

Bai Luoyao smiled and cleared his throat. "Chen Guan Family, two pharmacists, follow me to go back to the Bai Family Pharmacy first."

In order to expand the medicinal materials business, the Bai family will set up pharmacies in places with large transaction volumes of medicinal materials. These pharmacies sell medicines on the surface, and can secretly serve as medicinal storage and procurement while collecting information. The Bai family's branch is open on a long street south of Fengju City. It has a small door, and there are only two rooms inside. The shopkeeper and the shopkeeper are only three. Bai Luoyao led the three into the back hall of the pharmacies. The shopkeeper immediately greeted him, "Young Master, as you told me, I have been sending people to secretly observe the East Gate recently. It turns out that every five days the person will appear on time to trade stones with the Donghu people. However, he started to appear irregularly half a month ago. After occasionally showing up, he never appeared again."

"The East Gate is the east gate of Fengjucheng. There has always been a market established by Daliang to trade with Donghu, and exchange for any and no, and that Wu Zhe has been trading stones at the East Gate." Bai Luoyao added after the butler.

"It started to stop appearing half a month ago? Could it be that something happened half a month ago that made Wu Zhe dare not show up again?" Mu Qingyuan said to himself.

But this message seemed to be a missing link in the chain of clues being picked up again. Xuan Shaoning said, "I think I know why he didn't show up." Seeing everyone looking at him, he continued, "Half a month ago, King Ling went to Pingzhou to investigate the case and found out that Lu Yanhui concealed the fact that stones were profitable from it. Lu Yanhui was in Pingzhou Quarry, which produced the most high-quality stones of the beams."

After saying a word, everyone suddenly became enlightened.

"What do you mean is that Wu Zhe and Donghu traded stones produced from Pingzhou?" Mu Qingyuan immediately expressed this guess, and Bai Luoyao took over the conversation. "The reason why Wu Zhe stopped showing up half a month ago was because Lu Yan came to the east window, and he hid immediately after getting the news."

"So Lu Yan would conceal the amount of the court's stones and secretly handed over some of the stones to Wu Zhe and Donghu for trading. Pingzhou's stones were priced at the court, and selling them to Donghu would make a lot of money." Chen Ming said his purpose.

"If this is true, it would be difficult for Lu Yanhui to do it alone. There must be someone behind him!"

"Luo Yao is right. At that time, King Ling had already suspected that someone in the court colluded with Lu Yanhui and planned to obtain silver from the court. Unexpectedly, he entrusted the Wu family to sell the stone to the Donghu people." Xuan Shaoning finally connected the two things.

"Senior Brother Chen, if we want to confirm this conjecture, we must first find Wu Zhe, but he hides. What should we do?" Mu Qingyuan asked.

"It's hard for us to find him, but it's easy for him to find us."

"Luo Yao, what do you mean?"

"Wait. In less than three days, I will definitely ask Wu Zhe to come to ask for medicine!"

In the next three days, Bai Luoyao took the three of them to visit Fengju City, and learned about the size, customs and customs of the city, and the streets. Xuan Shaoning looked at Bai Luoyao's introduction as a family, and treated people very well with experience. He was like a veteran in the shopping mall. He couldn't help but sigh that as a woman, she actually took on the responsibility of a family, which made people want to shelter her from the wind and rain than when she was in Qingshan Academy.

"Luo Yao, this is the third day, Fengju City is not big, we have all been shopping, are you sure?" Looking at the declining mountains, Mu Qingyuan seemed a little anxious.

"Isn't this the third day not over yet!"

"But what if the person still doesn't come to the door tomorrow morning?"

"Then think of another way!"

"Hey, you..."

"I believe in Luo Yao."

Xuan Shaoning's words made Bai Luoyao's eyes change significantly when he looked at him, as if it was a drizzle in summer, which made people feel refreshed. She lowered her head slightly, but pursed her lips speechlessly.

"Young Master, you are back, there is a patient here!" As soon as the housekeeper saw the four of them coming back, he greeted him and said loudly, and at the same time, he also used a color, and everyone was immediately interested.

"Oh? We are almost closed. What kind of patient are they?" Bai Luoyao said in a low voice, and at the same time walked to the counter to look at the person coming. The person came was a man who looked like a slave, with an anxious look on his face.

"You are Mr. Bai, are you?"

"It's right down!"

"I hope you can save our master!"

"What's wrong? It depends on how anxious you look."

"My owner had abdominal pain two days ago. It was mild at first, but it became more and more serious. Today, he could not get out of bed. He had invited several doctors in Fengju City to see it, but he couldn't say anything clearly. He heard that Mr. Bai from the Bai family's pharmacy was here, so we rushed over and invited you to have a look. No matter how much medical money, my owner could afford it!"

Looking at the panicked expression of the servants, Bai Luoyao looked back at the three of them and pretended to be embarrassed. "Although my Bai family manages medicinal materials, they are still not proficient in this medical technique. Even the doctor is helpless. I, Mr. Bai, are afraid that I, Mr. Bai, are powerless!"

"Young Master Bai, okay, okay, if you can't invite you, the little one... will be unable to save your life..." As he spoke, the servant actually knelt down in front of Bai Luoyao and cried. Bai Luoyao hurriedly helped him up and said, "As the saying goes, 'There is gold under a man's knees', how can he kneel down easily? How can this save people become harmful?"

"My owner is irritable. The doctor I hired before is useless. The owner has already scolded me hard. He said that if I can't find a good doctor, I will be beaten to death!"

"It's outrageous! The doctor saves people for the sake of his own sake. I'm sure I'll leave this trip. You'll be here for a while and I'll prepare."

"Okay, okay!" As soon as he heard that Bai Luoyao agreed, the servant nodded gratefully as if he had seen a savior.

When Bai Luoyao took Xuan Shaoning and Mu Qingyuan to Wu Zhe's hiding place, Chen Ming also headed towards the general's mansion from the back door of the medicine shop.

Wu Zhe's servant took the three of them around most of Fengju City to an ordinary house farthest from Dongmen Market in the north. He said that it was ordinary and had no characteristics. Most people in the same city had no difference at all. The house was even simpler than ordinary people. No one could have thought that the son of the richest man would live in such a place. The three of them understood each other with their eyes and followed the servant into the innermost bedroom.

As soon as he pushed the door into the door, the strong smell of herbal medicine mixed with sounds of moans spread throughout the room, making the room with poor light appear heavier and depressing. A maid squatted near the door and was carefully boiling medicine. Xuan Shaoning saw a man curled up on the bed in the middle, and the moans came from his mouth.

"Young Master, I've invited the head of the Bai Family Pharmacy shop!" The servant suppressed his excitement and ran over to support the person on the bed. "Young Master, look." Following the finger of the servant, the man slowly raised his head and happened to be in contact with the three of them. Although his face was a little yellow, his eyebrows and eyes were still clearly visible. This person was Wu Zhe! When he saw the real person appearing in front of him, the three of them couldn't help but twitch in their hearts. The fact that Wu Zhe was transferred was already in front of him. So will their guess be true?

"Doctor, save me!"

Wu Zhe tried to squeeze out such a sentence as if he had used all his strength, and then his face became even more ugly due to the pain. Bai Luoyao put down the medicine box, sat on the edge of the bed and signaled the servant to retreat, and asked, "Look, the young master kept covering his abdomen, but the pain here is unbearable?"

“It’s…”

Bai Luoyao reached out and gently pressed Wu Zhe's belly. Wu Zhe immediately took a cold breath in pain. Then Bai Luoyao put on his pulse again. "Young Master, I have been depressed recently, I feel panic, I don't know the taste, and I can't sleep with my pillow?"

Wu Zhe opened his eyes a little wide, looked at Bai Luoyao and nodded, "But... I started to suffer from abdominal pain the day before yesterday."

"It is the young master who is in a long time of anxiety and anxiety that causes this abdominal pain. The crux of the problem is heart disease!" Bai Luoyao opened the medicine box, took out a green medicine bottle and handed it to Wu Zhe and said, "Young master may as well take two pills first to relieve the pain temporarily." Wu Zhe didn't think about it at all, and grabbed the medicine bottle in Bai Luoyao's hand, poured out two black pills with a trembling hand and put them into his mouth. He swallowed it hard without drinking water.

"Young Master, you still need to treat this mental illness with the heart. I hope you can relax your heart. I will prescribe some medicine to relieve your mood, so that your servants can go to the pharmacy with me to get it back and take it on time every day."

"Okay, I'll go here!"

"Wait!" Wu Zhe called out to the servant who had already stepped apart, and then looked at Bai Luoyao incredibly, "Young Master Bai, your medicine is really effective. I don't feel much pain now!"

"Oh? That's a good thing!"

"Another...... give me some more pills, I will give you as much money as you want!"

"Young Master, this medicine is about gradual progress, so you can't be impatient."

"No! Who can guarantee that this disease will not occur again?" Before Bai Luoyao could put the medicine bottle into the medicine box, he was snatched by Wu Zhe. Seeing this scene, Xuan Shaoning was about to take action but was stopped by Bai Luoyao's eyes.

"Go away, who dares to stop Guangyuan Army from enforcing the law!"

With the noise outside the door, a man in military uniform walked over with a majestic look. Xuan Shaoning recognized at a glance that the person was An Haoran, the commander of Guangyuan Army. However, An Haoran did not look at Xuan Shaoning at all, walked straight to the bed and asked loudly: "Are you Wu Zhe?"
