Chapter 422: Treating ear diseases with medicine, luring the snake out of its hole to the South Col

Qin Xiaofeng must be very good at investigating these things, so they should focus on the patients first. After washing and going to bed, Ding Xirui fell asleep peacefully while holding Lin Mingxuan's arm.

On the second day, Master Lin took Lin Mingxuan and his wife to the cell to treat Huang Yong. The cell was dimly lit, and Huang Yong was taken to a small window. Master Lin gently pulled his left ear, and then stroked around the ear again and again, asking if it hurt. Huang Yong shook his head and only said that there was some pain in the ear canal.

The plan proposed by Mr. Lin was similar to the one discussed by Ding Lin and others. However, he asked Lin Mingxuan to grind several herbs into fine powder, and asked Nanxing to find wheat straw at the market and blow the powder into Huang Yong's ears.

"Is this the method of blowing medicine?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Yeah." Lin Mingxuan nodded.

For the next three days, Mr. Lin did not go again. Lin Mingxuan and Ding Xirui took turns changing the medicine for Huang Yong. They first used cotton wool to soak out the previous medicine and then blew new medicine in.

As he poured the powder mixed with pus into the small ear hole, Ding Xirui felt her stomach churning just by watching. She pinched her leg and handed Lin Mingxuan a clean cotton cloth.

On the second and third days, the pus decreased a lot. In the afternoon of the third day, there was almost only dry powder left. Huang Yong's condition stabilized, but Qin Xiaofeng's investigation in Nan'ao Village did not make much progress.

Ling Junsheng took the route of secretly investigating. He and County Magistrate Wang first sent people to guard not far from the village. In order to avoid alerting the enemy, they had not yet launched a formal investigation. But the den should be nearby, and Qin Xiaofeng was very anxious.

"When did Huang Yong start looking for sulfur and saltpeter?" asked County Magistrate Wang.

"Your Excellency, he said it has been three years. I checked the travel records and found that they left Qizhou last year, saying they were going to visit relatives."

"The relationship is complicated," Magistrate Wang said solemnly. "Three years is enough time for something to happen. We don't know what the other party's intentions are, and it's almost the end of the year... How about this? You assign a team to investigate this case, and don't worry about other things for the time being. I will also inform Lord Xun and ask him to send someone to assist."

"Yes!"

After the matter was explained, Qin Xiaofeng was at a loss as to where to start. Huang Yong had betrayed the people who worked with him in the village. Qin Xiaofeng wanted to arrest them directly, but he was afraid that they, like Huang Yong, only knew a little bit about the mastermind and had no idea about it, which would end up being a waste of time. Moreover, the arrest would make a lot of noise, and they would definitely hide or run away when they heard the news... But he was also afraid that if the truth was not quickly found out, if there was another explosion, there would be more casualties.

He looked at Huang Yong who was still receiving treatment and felt very annoyed, but he couldn't show it.

"Boss, I have an idea, but it may be a bit too risky." A bailiff whispered.

"You said."

"Let's release Huang Yong and pretend nothing happened..."

"Hmm?" Qin Xiaofeng became interested. "Huang Yong was seriously injured, and his brother is dead. Let him go back to handle the funeral, make trouble with the manager, and then persuade the villagers to quit. In this way, the manager will be anxious and the village will be in chaos. Maybe this is an opportunity for us to take advantage of."

"Well, let me think about it." Qin Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes slightly. It was indeed a good plan to let Huang Yong go back. Taking advantage of the funeral when there were many people, the people from the yamen could pretend to be relatives who came to attend the funeral, which would not easily arouse suspicion... He felt some hope.

"Ajiang, your brain really works well." Qin Xiaofeng tapped him.

"Boss, will this idea really work?"

"It works." Qin Xiaofeng stood up and walked towards Huang Yong's cell.

Ding Xirui and Lin Mingxuan had completed their treatment. Huang Yong drank the medicine and lay down. Qin Xiaofeng asked them to leave.

"Doctor Lin, Junior Sister Ding, how is Huang Yong's injury?"

"The burns are severe and the external wound has not yet scabbed over, but there is no more pus coming out of his ears, so his hearing shouldn't deteriorate any further," said Lin Mingxuan.

"Can you walk normally?" Qin Xiaofeng was a little anxious.

"It's better not to. At least wait until the wound scabs over, which will take at least seven or eight days." Ding Xirui said.

"Oh!" Qin Xiaofeng clenched his fists, feeling a little disappointed.

Ding Xirui was a little confused: "Brother, do you have any plans?"

"I originally wanted to..." He lowered his voice: "This matter is complicated, I wanted Huang Yong to go back and lure the snake out of its hole."

"Then, would it be helpful to follow the doctor?" Ding Xirui pointed at himself and Lin Mingxuan.

"That's too..." Qin Xiaofeng showed surprise, but quickly shook his head, "Too dangerous."

"Senior brother, Mingxuan is the doctor hired by Huang Yong, and I am a female doctor, helping out. We only take care of the patients and don't care about other things. If we encounter danger, we practice kung fu on a daily basis, and we have good leg strength and physical strength, so we can escape." After Ding Xirui finished speaking, he pulled Lin Mingxuan's sleeve.

Lin Mingxuan hesitated for a moment, feeling somewhat helpless but more agreeable: "Captain Qin, the situation is urgent. It is indeed a good strategy to lure Huang Yong. Let us follow. The two of us know the seriousness of the situation, and we are also familiar with the brothers in the yamen, so it will be more convenient for us to cooperate."

"Then..." Qin Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and said, "I need to report this matter to Lord Wang. If you allow, then thank you both for your hard work." He clasped his fists and saluted.

"Thank you for your hard work, brother."

"It's been hard work, Captain Qin."

The two returned the gifts without much explanation to each other. After returning home, they sought Mr. Lin's consent and waited for news from Qin Xiaofeng with excitement and worry.

The next morning, two yamen runners, A Jiang and A Yun, came to inform them to pack their bags and prepare to leave. They had already picked out their clothes and packed their bags, and took two large bags of medicinal herbs with them before leaving. Of course, the bills were paid by Huang Yong and the yamen.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, two carriages left the city. Nanxing and Banxia accompanied them to the city gate until the carriages disappeared from sight.

"Go back. You haven't written the management plan for the hot spring manor that the young lady asked you to do yet."

"It's not just my problem." Banxia muttered, very unhappy.

As they were talking, An Yumo came running over, pulling Xiaoqin, "Banxia, ​​your young lady and son-in-law are gone?" She was panting.

"Yes, Miss An...she has gone so far that we can't see her anymore." Banxia curled the corner of her mouth and pointed into the distance.

"You didn't even tell me, and you didn't even take me with you!" An Yumo said angrily.

"Miss An, they are going to investigate a case..." Banxia argued in a low voice.

"Yes, Miss An, we're not going there to travel..." Nanxing also smiled.

An Yumo also knew that this was no joke. She was just a little unconvinced. Why couldn't she help? She looked at the street and murmured, "There are more than 50 yamen runners in the government office, and more than half of them are left in the city. Can they catch anyone?"

"Miss An, they may go to investigate first, and when they have figured out the other party's background, they will come back to call for help."

"Oh! I hope nothing happens."

An Yumo pulled Xiaoqin back, and suddenly remembered something. He immediately changed direction and headed towards the nameless martial arts school.

The carriage out of the city moved slowly forward. A patient and a coffin could not stand the tossing. A Jiang and A Yun pretended to be horsemen, Qin Xiaofeng and another yamen runner named "Big Head" pretended to be workers in the coffin shop, and another four yamen runners pretended to be relatives of Huang Yong and went to the funeral in two days. The four yamen runners were lying in ambush near the village and were responsible for delivering the news to the yamen.

Huang Yong was trembling with fear, and couldn't eat or sleep all the way. If he dragged his elder brother's body home, his elder sister-in-law would probably be furious and hate him to death, and would not let him into the house.

"Brother Huang Yong, do you set off fireworks during the New Year?" Ding Xirui asked.

"Let go..." Huang Yong laughed, then his expression became gloomy. In the past, his elder brother prepared everything and he was only responsible for playing.

“Where did you buy them from?”

"Someone from the village went to the city to help with the purchase." Huang Yong said without hesitation.

Ding Xirui paused, "When you go out to buy saltpeter and sulfur, have you ever wondered what you're buying them for?"

"The manager said to make medicinal herbs."

Saltpeter and sulfur can indeed cure diseases, but they are highly toxic and are rarely used in normal times. They have been buying these things for three consecutive years, but they are definitely not used as medicine.

“Is it easy to buy?”

Huang Yong shook his head. "We go out for a month or two each time, and we don't get much. We sometimes wonder, and the manager said that in addition to asking in the mountains, we should also go to the herbal medicine shop to inquire and buy some from the herbal medicine shop, but we can't buy too much each time, so as not to attract attention."

"I said we wouldn't attract attention, so why would he allow you to buy gunpowder?"

Huang Yong also had a puzzled look on his face. "Starting this summer, they suddenly told us to keep an eye out. If there is any, we should buy a small amount and be careful. If there is none, they won't force us to buy. If we bring it back, we will get a reward. So, every time my brother and I go out, we will stay outside for a little longer..."
