His head seemed to explode, Shen Muxi tried to open his eyes, but his eyes were dark, with a cloth belt covering all the light, only a vague outline could be seen. The figure swayed, and it was impossible to distinguish between male and female, friend or foe.
"Who are you?" There was still a faint smell of almonds on the tip of the nose, Shen Muxi was leaning against the cold wall, although his body was not tied, he was weak and weak, and he didn't even have the strength to raise his hands. She can detoxify any highly poisonous poison by herself, only these low-grade things need more time to decompose than poison.
"You found out!"
Does this voice sound like a book
"You're not Zhishu!" Shen Muxi wanted to move his body, but he couldn't.
"It doesn't matter who I am, what matters is that you did something you shouldn't do." The man's voice was full of sinister feeling, "But it doesn't matter, as long as you cooperate, you can say anything."
Shen Muxi didn't speak, cooperation? With what
"You have a son!"
When the sound fell, Shen Muxi suddenly raised his head, and turned his face in the direction of the sound, "What do you want?"
"I lost something in Mu's Medical Center, is it in your hands?"
"You killed my master?" Shen Muxi gritted his teeth, "Is it you?"
"Mu Zhongzhou is dead, but you are still alive, so I have to get some things back from you." The man seemed to squat down, his voice was very close to her, and his hot breath was spraying on her face on, "Didn't that old thing give you anything?"
"No!" Shen Muxi refused straight away, Master's death was not that simple, even the corpse was taken away, it can be seen that these people coveted the key deeply. However, why would a bronze key cause Master to be murdered
In the current situation, she has to delay...
The longer she delays, the safer she is!
"Where's Catcher Liu?" Shen Muxi hurriedly asked.
"That guy is useless to us, what we want is what you... have in your hand." The man suddenly grabbed her jaw.
The force was so great that Shen Muxi gasped in pain immediately, and even pulled the wound on her chest. The pain caused her to break out in cold sweat, and even her breathing became short of breath, "I said, if you don't have it, you don't have it!"
As long as she has what they want in her, they won't kill her. More importantly, he just said "we", which means that he is not acting alone, and should be organized, that is to say, he has accomplices around the government office.
"You are not afraid of your son..." He leaned into her ear and whispered, "I have seen that child before. His name is Shen Zhi. He is a very good and beautiful little boy. Dr. Shen, do you want to take a guess? Become the second Mu Zhongzhou?"
"That also depends on your ability!" She responded coldly.
The man was obviously taken aback, and the surroundings were as silent as an ice cellar.
Shen Muxi couldn't see anything, but he could feel a gust of wind passing over his cheeks, and a man's voice came from the top of his head, "Do you think there is a way to leave the palace, so you can't help it? I don't believe it, the high prince will protect you A doctor's son."
"You raised the snake?" Shen Muxi raised his head, "Your prescriptions betrayed you."
"You, what do you mean?" He said coldly.
Shen Muxi smiled, but his face was pale due to the pain, "You were close to success, but the snake's lair was destroyed, and all the hard work was wasted. Not all snakes can adapt to poisonous reactions. You deliberately left it in the mansion. The snake is the best proof! The poison of that snake is much worse than the original snakes!"
It turned out that the poisonous snake was full of poison, and the poison was extremely strong. Even her blood would take a long time to dissolve. This is why it took so long for Bo Yu to wake up after taking the medicine.
Although Bo Yunxiu was poisoned at the time, for some unknown purpose, this guy had other poisons mixed in his body, so it looked more serious. If it weren't for the fact that there was no cure for the snake venom, Shen Muxi would not have risked his identity being exposed to save him with blood.
There is a saying that Bo Yunxiu is right, she is a doctor, and these hands are used to save people. Of course, Shen Muxi was not polite to him, didn't he want to pretend to be dead and sick? Well, let me help you, don't cry if you have the ability!
The man was probably short of breath, his breathing became heavy, and the sound of footsteps kept lingering around Shen Muxi.
"Your medicine for tigers and wolves has failed!" Shen Muxi made up the knife again.
The man suddenly grabbed Shen Muxi's neck and pressed her against the wall. Blood gushed out from the wound and gradually stained her skirt red. She only felt that the skirt was very wet and cold. The neck loosened, probably the man didn't expect her to be injured.
"Are you injured?" The man stepped back.
"If I die, you don't get anything!" Panting heavily, she leaned against the wall weakly, and the blood from the wound was still oozing out. Her consciousness became more and more blurred, she tried hard to stay awake, but...
In my mind, only the words left by the man before he left, "See how hard you can go!"
Shen Muxi's mind is dizzy, and there is only one concern left in his heart - Zhi'er!
Shen Zhi waited at the gate of the government office for his mother to come back, but his mother didn't come back until the afternoon. Instead, it was Liu Butou, clutching his bloody head, stumbling forward, and before he reached them, he fell headlong to the ground.
"Catcher Liu?" Chunxiu rushed forward in a hurry, and the gatekeepers also lost their minds.
"Quick! Dr. Shen..." Catcher Liu tried his best to support himself, "Go and report to your lord, to the lord, Dr. Shen was attacked!" Shen Zhi stood there, his small body trembling uncontrollably, he opened his eyes wide, looking Watching Chunxiu carry Liu Butou into the government office, her immature face gradually turned pale. Looking up at the sun in the sky, it was white and bright, and the bright light fell from above, and my body was so cold that I shivered.
The news about Shen Muxi's accident spread quickly in the government office.
Wei Xian'er was coaxing Bo Yu to take a nap, ordered the servants to close the door, and quietly walked out of the room, "Is the news true?"
Yizhu nodded, "It's not wrong! Liu Butou was carried back bloody, the whole government has spread the news, the county magistrate has sent people to the inn, but I don't know if it has reached the prince's ears?"
"Why was he arrested for no reason?" Wei Xian'er was puzzled, "As a doctor, it is logically impossible to offend anyone, and even not fear the government's arrest. This is openly opposing the court."
"Isn't that just right?" Yizhu said with a smile, "Only the little one is left, so it won't be a big deal."
Wei Xian'er didn't think so, she glanced at Yizhu thoughtfully, and walked towards Bo Yunxiu's yard.
"Master, this is..." Yizhu wanted to say, isn't this asking for trouble? If the prince didn't know about it, he would just let Shen Muxi live and die. At that time, the master would have less opponents, and he would not have to do it himself. It would be the best of both worlds. But a slave is a slave after all, how dare he say such rebellious words, not to mention Wei Xian'er's thoughts are really comparable to others.
"Go and tell the lord!" Wei Xian'er was gentle and dignified, with a hint of melancholy in her eyes, she was really worried about Shen Muxi's safety. Outside the door of Bo Yunxiu's room, Wei Xian'er stared at Mi Li with a solemn expression, "I want to see the prince!"
Mi Li bowed and saluted, "My lord ordered that I have been busy with business these two days, and no one is allowed to enter even if the sky has fallen! Please forgive my concubine, I can't let you in because of my lowly position!"
"What happened to Dr. Shen, does the prince not care about it?" Wei Xian'er frowned, "This is a matter of life and death, how can it be a joke? I must see the prince today."
Mi Li stood in front of the door without changing his expression, "Please forgive me, concubine!"
This meaning is self-evident.
"If I don't see the lord today, I won't leave." Wei Xian'er straightened her body, standing where she was, refusing to move, with such a serious appearance, it seemed that she really had kindness in her heart, and she was determined to help Shen Mu. Seek a glimmer of life.
At least from Mi Li's point of view, Wei Xian'er felt compassion again. After all, before Wei Xian'er and Shen Zhi had an unpleasant quarrel, and even wanted to kill Chunxiu at one point, but now she insisted on refusing to leave. Naturally, her heart was soft.
"My lord!" Wei Xian'er said in a correct tone, "I know that I shouldn't disturb my lord's rest at this moment, but it's a matter of life and death, I can't ignore it. Dr. Shen is in trouble, and I hope my lord can help me."
There was no movement in the room, and Mi Li subconsciously glanced behind her.
The door was still closed, and there was no sign of opening it.
Wei Xian'er didn't give up, and still said loudly, "I beg your lord to save Dr. Shen for the sake of Dr. Shen's saving Yu'er, and send someone to look for it! As a mother, I know very well that the youngest son is helpless." How pitiful, Dr. Shen's son is young, even if the prince doesn't look at it for my concubine's sake, he still has to look at it for Yu'er's sake, the grace of saving life is as great as heaven, how can you not repay it?"
Xu felt that it wasn't enough, Wei Xian'er suddenly knelt in front of the door, so startled that Mi Li and Yi Zhu rushed to help her.
"The concubine doesn't have to be like this!" Mi Li hurriedly said.
Wei Xian'er pushed him away, straightened her body and knelt down, "If the lord does not agree to go and save Dr. Shen, I will kneel down and wait until the lord agrees!"
"Side concubine, you are threatening the prince!" Mi Li frowned, with a look of embarrassment on her face.
"I'm not embarrassing the lord, I just want to return Shen Muxi's favor. After all, she is also Yu'er's life-saving grace. Yu'er is my lifeblood, and I, Wei Xianer, have clear grievances and grievances. How can I be human if I don't repay my kindness?" Wei Xianer beat After making up his mind, he didn't speak again, and kept kneeling in front of the door.
Mi Li waited by the side, frowning and looking at the closed door, but finally said nothing. Regarding Shen Muxi's matter, Mi Li was also worried, but without the order of the prince, everyone's life and death had nothing to do with Li Wang's mansion. As the guard of Prince Li's Mansion, his duty is to protect the prince, nothing else!
All the yamen servants in the government office were mobilized and surrounded the entire inn tightly, but in the backyard kitchen of the inn, they found the bodies of the shopkeeper and the clerk.
With a bandage on his head, Catcher Liu gritted his teeth with hatred, "These bastards!"
It happened so suddenly, he was only concerned about Shen Muxi's safety at that time, he didn't expect that the door beside him would suddenly open, and a black shadow would rush out, almost like a flash of lightning, his brain exploded with a "buzz", That is, all consciousness is gone.
After waking up, there was no trace of Shen Muxi.
"This Lu Guizhou!" The magistrate stomped his feet in hatred, "Why didn't I realize earlier that this guy is a beastly bastard? I'm so angry!"
"My lord, I found a cellar in the back!" The yamen servant hurried over.
cellar
The magistrate blinked at Liu Butou, cellar? Every household has a cellar. This is an inn. It is not uncommon to use cellars to store wine. I wonder why these idiots are making such a fuss
"There seems to be someone hiding in the cellar!" the yamen servant said in a low voice.
The county magistrate slapped the person on the forehead, "If you have something to say, you won't finish it all at once? Trash! Get out of the way!"
The cellar is in the backyard, and the officials are struggling to open the cellar. The reason why it is laborious is because the iron plates on the top of the cellar have been poured to death with molten iron, and I don't know if it was intentional, leaving a gap the size of a fist, which the yamen servants split little by little with an axe.
Waiting for the cellar to be opened, it was already dark.
"What's the situation?" the county magistrate asked.
Holding a torch, the yamen servant poked his head to look inside, but it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly at all, so he could only slowly climb down the wooden ladder.
After a while, the servant's scream came from the cellar, "My lord, there are people in the cellar!"
"Human?" Liu Butou hurried forward, "Is he still alive?"
"There is still a breath!" The inside responded.
"Quickly, get the person out!" Liu Butou waved his hand, and everyone rushed up, quickly fished out the person in the cellar, and laid them on the flat ground.
In the light of the fire, Zhishu, who was so hungry and haggard, lay motionless on the ground, with a face full of filth, showing embarrassment and despair. Xu Shi was blinded by the flames, he opened his mouth weakly, but no sound came out of his throat.
"Where is Lu Guizhou?" Catcher Liu quickly grabbed Zhishu's skirt, "Where did you catch Dr. Shen? Where is she?"
"Young Master..." Zhishu blinked weakly, "Save, save Young Master!"
The magistrate squatted down, "Lu Guizhou is in danger?"
Zhishu nodded weakly, "We were captured on the way back, and the young master was taken away..." His vision became more and more blurred, and before he finished speaking, Zhishu tilted his head and lost consciousness again.
"Hey, speak clearly!" Catcher Liu was so anxious that Dr. Shen disappeared right under his nose, and he was duty-bound. Now that he finally had a clue, how could it be broken like this
"I think he is hungry?" The magistrate covered his mouth and nose in disgust, "Smelling the smell of this body, I guess he has suffered a lot in it! Send it to the doctor to have a look at it first, so that he can speak Say it again!"
So far, that's all there is to it!
Fortunately, Dr. Liao's medical clinic was not too far away, and the servants were waiting outside the medical clinic with the unconscious magistrate.
"Isn't the door always open at this time?" Catcher Liu slammed on the door, "Doctor Liao? Doctor Liao!"
There was no movement inside the door, it seemed that no one was there.
"Going out to see a doctor?" The county magistrate looked at the sign hanging beside the door, "I don't know where he went!"
"In the morning, I came with Dr. Shen. I didn't hear that Dr. Liao said that he was going out!" Catcher Liu frowned, and suddenly asked the servants, "Did Dr. Liao come to the government office to deliver medicine today? Apprentice here?"
Everyone shook their heads, discussing one after another, the yamen servants who were guarding the gate today really didn't see anyone from Liao's Medical Center coming.
As soon as he gritted his teeth, Catcher Liu went to the door with his head up and his legs up.
But he was injured, and when he stepped down, the door didn't open, but the injury on his forehead made him grin his teeth.
"Get out of the way!" With a high voice, Liu Tudou suddenly felt light, and was pushed away like a thousand catties. If the yamen servants hadn't picked it up, he would have been caught off guard by this unexpected force.
There was a "bang" without any hesitation.
Chunxiu strode into the medical hall, it was dark inside, but fortunately the yamen servant entered immediately, the torches lit up the whole medical hall, but after searching inside and out, there was no sign of Dr. Liao and the young apprentice.
There were no traces of fighting in the house, nor any abnormalities.
"Did it really come out?" The magistrate frowned, "Where did you go?"
There are many villages nearby, and they are far apart. If you really go out for a doctor, you will definitely not be able to come back for a while, and waiting here is not an option. Fortunately, there are not only Dr. Liao and his family in the medical clinic in the town.
"Chunxiu, why are you here?" Catcher Liu looked at her worriedly, "Where's Zhier?"
"I asked him to stay at the gate of the prince's courtyard!" Although Chunxiu was reckless and impulsive, she was not a fool. Since the gangster even arrested Shen Muxi, it showed that he was not afraid of the people in the government office, and only the prince from the capital could do it. To protect Shen Zhi, simply let Shen Zhi sit outside the prince's courtyard and wait, at least there are guards guarding him. If something really happened, the prince should not sit idly by. Liu Butou nodded, looked back at Zhishu lying on the stretcher, calmed down and thought about it, this Zhishu seemed very different from the "Zhishu" he saw in the morning, although the appearance was the same, but this figure did have some The difference is that it won't starve people like this in a few hours!
Suddenly, Catcher Liu's eyes widened in shock, "The Zhishu that Dr. Shen and I saw this morning is a fake! Could it be that they kidnapped the real master and servant of Lu Guizhou, and then pretended to be them to commit crimes?" thing?!"
The magistrate almost bit his tongue, "Are you serious?"
"In the morning, Zhishu came to the Liao's Medical Center to get medicine. Dr. Liao also asked Dr. Shen why he used tiger and wolf medicine to treat Lu Guizhou's wounds? Doctor Shen doubted Zhishu only after reading that prescription." Liu caught his head and bit his head. Gritting his teeth, "These bastards!"
"That is to say, not only Doctor Shen was arrested, but Lu Guizhou is also in the hands of those people?" Chunxiu muttered to herself.
Oh my god...
The magistrate of the county almost lost his temper. This investigation is a trap. Where did such a thing happen during his tenure? Thinking about it, I feel chills down my spine. If this stabbed the prince, what would happen
"What the hell are these things?" The magistrate stomped his feet anxiously, "Where did this bastard come from, and even ran to the official's territory to do his best, it's, it's... I'm so angry!"
For a while, no one had a clue. Right now, save people first. Only when Zhishu wakes up can he know what happened and have more clues, so the yamen servants carried Zhishu and went straight to another hospital.
After the crowd dispersed, a small figure quietly slipped into the medical hall.
The candle was lit. In the candlelight, Shen Zhi looked around suspiciously. When they were talking just now, he was hiding in a corner outside. Because of his small size, no one noticed him.
Mother discovered the abnormality here, and now the place is empty, the doctor is gone, no ghosts!
Holding the candle, Shen Zhi walked around inside and outside the medical hall, and finally stopped in front of the medicine cabinet, his brows frowned slightly. He grew up in the medical center of his master, and he has been familiar with every plant and tree in the medical center since he was a child, including the display of medicinal materials in the medicine cabinet. Some medicines cannot be put together, after all, they are easy to confuse. But although the medicine cabinet in front of me is neatly arranged, the order in which some medicines are placed...
Climbing up on the stool, Shen Zhi took out the medicine cabinet, looked through a few medicine cabinets, and then slowly climbed off the stool, and sat on the stool with a serious face, "I can't tell the difference between safflower and saffron, and they are placed in the same cabinet? "
There was something embedded in the crack of the floor outside the counter, Shen Zhi picked it out with his nails, sniffed it with the tip of his nose, and recognized it as honeysuckle. He stood where he was and found the medicine cabinet with honeysuckle written on it. It was on the farthest side. Even if he was grabbing medicine, he would only put it on the counter, and it was impossible to put it outside the counter.
"Something happened!" Shen Zhi pursed his lips, grabbed Uncle Lu, and then his mother, and now even Dr. Liao was taken away, what on earth do these people want to do? After blowing out the candles, Shen Zhi quickly ran out of the hospital. At this time, it seemed that only that bad man could really save his mother.
In the streets at night, there are fewer and fewer people, Shen Zhi runs fast, Aunt Chunxiu helps Liu Butou to find her mother's trace, he can't be idle, he has to ask that bad man for help, nothing can compare Shangniang's life is more important!
But the guards of Prince Li's Mansion surrounded the courtyard tightly, Aunt Chunxiu led him to break in last time, now he is alone, how could he break through these guards? In case they use the knife, he doesn't have Aunt Chunxiu's butcher's knife...
Suddenly, eyes suddenly brightened.
Shen Zhi carefully hid in the dark, took advantage of the time when the guards turned around, and ran to the bottom of the wall, and pushed aside the thick vines, revealing the dark hole. This was discovered by him and Uncle Lu earlier, and he did not tell the first three people.
The entrance of the cave is very small, and it can only accommodate thin and weak children. After all, this is a dog cave. Fortunately, these guards did not find this gap, otherwise it would be bad. Shen Zhi quickly climbed into the dog hole, there were guards outside, but the yard was very quiet, after all, that bad man was cold, so naturally he liked to be quiet.
Taking a breath, Shen Zhi stood up and patted the dirt on his knees.
It was quiet in the backyard, no one was there, it was God helping me!
Shen Zhi followed the dark corner of the wall, followed Bao Yunxiu's room in his memory, he didn't dare to go into the bright place, at a young age, he knew how to hide in the dark and move forward, otherwise he would be caught by these guards, If it is light, he will be beaten, but if it is serious, he will be beaten and killed again like last time!
Bo Yunxiu's window was closed, Shen Zhi licked his finger, and poked a hole in the window paper. It was pitch black inside, and there was no candle. Did this bad man go to bed so early
Everyone in the yamen knows about such a big thing as the disappearance of the mother. It is impossible for this bad man not to know that he was indifferent when the mother rescued him. It is really bad. Since it's so bad, should I ask him
Shen Zhi hesitated, and finally thought about it. Mother's life or death is unknown, even if she knows there will be no result, she should work hard. What if she can get a chance for her mother
Thinking of this, Shen Zhi took off the hairpin on his head, unscrewed the top, and there was a needle hidden inside. This was a big birthday gift from Uncle Lu back then. Don't underestimate this needle, it's not gold or silver, it's made of black iron.
The black iron needle was very thin, easily passed through the gap of the window, and just touched the window bolt.
Shen Zhi scratched at the window, shaking the silver needle in his hand left and right, opened the window and climbed in after a while. When he went in, because he didn't stand firmly, Shen Zhi swayed and fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Outside, Mi Li frowned suddenly, the hand that pushed the door had already stretched out, but he remembered Wei Xian'er who was kneeling on the ground, so he withdrew his hand and continued to confront Wei Xian'er as if nothing had happened.
But Wei Xian'er is so shrewd, even though she was kneeling dazedly, she didn't hear anything, but when she saw Mi Li stretching out and retracting her hand, her movements were very small, obviously there was some movement in the room.
"My lord!" Wei Xian'er was already tired, her voice was not as crisp as before, but it was also quite loud.
With this cry, Shen Zhi in the room hurriedly got up and squatted under the window, covering his mouth and nose, not even daring to breathe.
I could only hear Wei Xian'er from outside continuing to say, "If the lord insists on not seeing me, I won't blame the lord, but only blame the incompetence of the concubine for not being able to win a chance for Dr. Shen. My lord, the concubine will kneel until you are willing." Until I see my concubine!"
Shen Zhi frowned, looked around the room with wide eyes, it seemed that he was the only one breathing in the room? He deliberately held his breath, and after a long while, he took a big mouthful of air. It was really only his breathing.
Getting up quickly, Shen Zhi took advantage of the moonlight outside the window to walk cautiously in the room.
There was no one in the room, and the quilt on the bed was well spread, but when I reached out to touch it, the quilt was cool and there was no temperature at all. It can be seen that the bad man was not in the room at all, and he did not leave suddenly.
When did you leave
"My lord!" Wei Xian'er shouted again.
Shen Zhi pouted, this woman is really troublesome!
"My lord, if you're awake, I beg you to see me!" Wei Xian'er choked up, and she burst into tears as she spoke.
Shen Zhi thought, since the bad man is not around, he should run away quickly, otherwise it will be miserable if he is caught.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Bo Yu's voice sounded outside, "Father! Daddy, I want to see you! Daddy!"
Next came Mi Li's blocking voice, Wei Xian'er didn't dare to lose her status, so naturally she wouldn't trespass, but Bo Yu is the young master of Li Wang's mansion, so Mi Li wanted to stop her, but Bo Yu's status is noble, so she couldn't touch her No, if Bo Yu is hurt, Mi Li won't be able to afford it!
"Go away, I want to see my father!" Bo Yu kicked Mi Li's calf, "You keep blocking me, could it be that something happened to my father? Today, I must go in and see my father!"
Shen Zhi gasped, feeling flustered for a moment, and hurriedly ran to the window. When he looked back, Mi Li's figure had already stuck to the facade, it could be seen that he was cornered by Bo Yu.
Gritting his teeth, Shen Zhi ran to the table, quickly picked up the cup on the table, threw it hard towards the door, then ran back to the window, and climbed out of the window as fast as he could.
The sound of the cup being smashed startled Wei Xian'er and hurriedly grabbed Bo Yu, fearing that her son would really anger Bao Yunxiu, "Yu'er, don't be rude, how can you mess around in front of the prince? How did your mother teach you?"
Bo Yu was also frightened. Before he suspected that there was no one in the room, he didn't expect... his palms were cold. Thinking of his father's usual cold appearance, Bo Yu shrank his neck and took a few steps back, never daring to rash.
"Side concubine, the prince is angry, you should go back first!" Mi Li's expression darkened, "If the prince blames you, I'm afraid the consequences will be too much for you to bear!"
"Master, go back first!" Yizhu advised at the right time.
Wei Xian'er had knelt down long ago until her legs became numb, and if she knelt down again, her legs would be limped. It's really not worth it for a Shen Muxi! She gritted her teeth, and had to be supported by Yizhu, and took Bao Yu away tremblingly.
After watching Wei Xian'er leave, Mi Li hastily opened the door and entered.
There is obviously no one in the room, why is there the sound of cups being smashed? Who was in there just now? "My lord?" Mi Li clenched the sword in his hand, "Where did he go?"
