Chapter 217: The Man Behind the Scenes
Upon hearing this, the old man in white stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "My medical skills are limited. If I have offended you, please forgive me."
Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this: "You are too modest. To be recommended by Lord Zhang, I believe his medical skills must be very good." She looked at He Jingheng: "We have consulted many doctors about his leg, but they always give the same answer. It has been so long, and we no longer have any hope. If you can cure him, you will be a hero of our He family."
Hearing Shang Ruoyi say this, Zhang Wenyu couldn't help but think, could it be that his leg is really broken?
The old man in white stepped forward and bowed to He Jingheng again. Everyone in the world knew what an outstanding man the prince of Dingguo Palace was. Someone once described him as: riding a horse leaning on a sloping bridge, with red sleeves waving in the building.
How many noble ladies in the capital city admired this elegant young man?
Now he has ended up with such a miserable end.
It's really sad.
The old man in white looked at his legs carefully. After a while, he sighed and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid your legs will never recover."
When Zhang Wenyu heard this, a look of understanding flashed across his eyes. It seemed that He Jingheng's leg had not recovered at all. Maybe someone was talking nonsense and deliberately creating panic. In this case, there was no need to worry about it in the future.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the changing expressions on his face and understood.
I remembered the news I saw in the Yangxin Palace before.
Who is it? Who is watching them secretly?
Zhang Wenyu cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry that I couldn't help you two."
"We are grateful that Lord Zhang thought of us. It was expected that he would not be able to recover." Shang Ruoyi smiled with a hint of sarcasm on her face: "This is not the most important thing. There is one thing I want to ask you, Lord."
"What's the matter?"
"We encountered thieves in our mansion yesterday. There was such a big commotion, but no one from the government came to support us. Does Lord Zhang know about this?"
The expression on Zhang Wenyu's face was full of surprise. He had known that Shang Ruoyi would ask this question.
When the Beiling people entered the Tianshun territory, they got the news and also received the gold, silver and jewelry they handed over. Their target was only the He family, and the He family was a thorn in the emperor's side, and he wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible, but there was no suitable charge to eliminate them all.
Now that someone is willing to catch them all in one fell swoop, he is naturally willing to do them a favor.
Yesterday, flames shot up into the sky and the earth shook. How could they not know?
He deliberately did not come to support. Not only that, he also detained the newly appointed official who had originally proposed support in the government office.
We had originally planned to collect their bodies the next day, but we didn't expect them to survive such a fierce battle. Instead, the brave and combative Beiling soldiers were beaten back.
Zhang Wenyu had no idea that the Beiling soldiers were not defeated but were all buried here.
"To be honest, these Japanese officers are still ill. If they hadn't received reports from their subordinates late at night, they wouldn't have known that such a dangerous thing had happened."
Shang Ruoyi knew that this was just his excuse.
"Fortunately, nothing serious happened, but those bandits actually had firearms. If we hadn't fought back, we would have lost our lives." Shang Ruoyi had a frightened look on her face. He Jingheng couldn't help but find it funny. She was the only one who could talk nonsense so seriously.
That firearm actually belonged to Beiling!
If Helan Yun were here, he would definitely curse loudly. If Beiling had so many firearms, it would have swallowed up other countries long ago. Why would it wait until now?
It is true that when you want to accuse someone of a crime, you can always find a pretext for it.
Zhang Wenyu was shocked. This was the second thing he wanted to ask today.
The crisis of firearms is undoubtedly huge. Every country wants to manufacture firearms in large quantities, but no country has succeeded. Now Beiling has actually made so many firearms first. If we are not prevented, there will definitely be endless troubles.
However, the He family, who was able to win among so many firearms, seemed to be more worthy of fear than Beiling.
Zhang Wenyu came in a hurry and left in a hurry with the doctor.
Seeing this, He Jingheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Today I have seen what it means to be eloquent and to confuse right and wrong."
Shang Ruoyi raised her chin, her face full of satisfaction. She smiled and said, "What's that? I gave him a big gift." Who asked him to disturb her sweet dreams so early? She was just giving him a slight punishment.
On the way back, Zhang Wenyu suddenly felt unwell, his abdomen felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead. The old man in white clothes who was brought to the He family by him saw this and hurriedly checked his pulse. After a while, the old man frowned and said, "My lord, you have a stomachache."
I ate something bad? How is that possible?
Before he could think about it, an even stronger pain came over him, and he felt like something was about to come out of his body.
The next moment, a loud noise was heard, and the old man in white got off the carriage in embarrassment, covering his nose, looking at the carriage in shock.
He had never seen such a smelly fart in his life.
After hearing the report from her subordinates, Shang Ruoyi smiled coldly. It was what she deserved. She had almost lost face. This was the consequence of disturbing her sweet dream.
Zhang Wenyu became famous because of this fart, and people would mention this incident when talking about the imperial envoy of Qingzhou.
In a house on the edge of the county town, Ling Feng looked fiercely at Qian Jinnian who was standing opposite him.
"You did it?"
Qian Jinnian lowered his eyes and said nothing.
"I'm asking you."
Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "How dare you mobilize the death squad without my permission? What crime should you be punished for?"
The group of people with extremely high martial arts skills who robbed and killed Liu Qin on the road that day were sent by Qian Jinnian.
Qian Jinnian's drooping eyelids slightly lifted, and there was no turbidity or confusion in his old eyes. After a while, he whispered, "Young Master, have you forgotten what we are doing? We have persisted until today just to see the day when the Dingguo Palace is destroyed. With such a good opportunity, Young Master did not take action. Is it because of the benevolence and morality that Young Master talks about, or is there another reason?"
He looked at Ling Feng, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.
"Is there another reason?" Ling Feng sneered: "What do you think the reason is?"
"The young lady from the He family." Qian Jinnian whispered, "Could it be that the young master has other thoughts about her?"
Ling Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and he could not help but angrily asked: "Do you think I would have feelings for my genocide enemy?"
Qian Jinnian said nothing. He had watched his young master grow up and he knew his character very well. If he didn't care, he would definitely not have hesitated to take action.
If it wasn’t the young lady from the He family, could it be the prince’s consort?
"I know you are anxious to take revenge, but if you act without my permission, don't blame me for disregarding the years of relationship between master and servant."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Qian Jinnian narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and murmured, "Young Master, since you can't make up your mind, I will help you."
For the next period of time, no one came to trouble the He family again. After He Yunyi was injured, she had been at home, and the shop in the county town had to be left to Shang Ruoyi to manage on her own.
