Jiang Hao understood that Ma Jiuye accidentally saved Xu Xing while escorting a caravan, and the two became friends because of this.

As for how the two of them kept in touch later, Zhang Zhongjing only mentioned it in a few words.

After Zhang Zhongjing finished speaking, Xu Xing had come back to his senses. He smiled gently at Jiang Hao and said, "People who travel the world value loyalty. Ninth Brother is very loyal. He saved me and asked for nothing. I occasionally exchanged letters with him. I have been in the military camp for these years. I only received letters from him saying that he went to Kyoto City to help a friend. I didn't expect that he went to the gambling house."

After Xu Xing returned to Beijing, the two invited each other to meet, but unfortunately both of them were busy, so the meeting was postponed again and again.

If it weren't for the information that Zhuifeng brought back that day mentioning "Master Ma Jiu", Xu Xing would never have thought that he, a bodyguard, would actually become the manager of a gambling house.

Moreover, he is brave, resourceful and capable of handling matters with ease.

“He is indeed a character.”

Jiang Hao didn't know much about Master Ma Jiu, and didn't make much comment, but considering what Xu Xing and Zhang Zhongjing said, and his current identity, his words were neither praise nor criticism.

Master Ma Jiu did not allow Xu Xing to ask more questions about the boss behind him, but he took the initiative to remind him to "be careful in everything", obviously he knew some taboos.

This also made their guess almost certain, that the King of Qi wanted to extend his influence to the Dali Temple, so he baited Han Bin and used some method to lead him to the gambling house to gamble, making him heavily in debt, so as to control him.

King Qi, you have played a big game of chess.

Unfortunately……

The study room of Prince Qi's mansion.

After the latest news was sent back to Prince Qi's Palace, Prince Qi became even more anxious.

But the more anxious you are, the more you think about.

He didn't understand. Datura is highly poisonous. It is difficult to extract, so even a little bit is precious. It can easily poison a person to death.

Most importantly, there is no antidote!

How did Princess Jiahe use just a silver needle to wait for the imperial physician and the doctor from Baicaotang to arrive, and also detoxify her?

The detoxification skills of those three people are already better than the ancestor who developed this poison back then?

wrong!

That’s definitely not the case!

If he was really that powerful, Qiu Zhizhong would have given up his position as court judge to someone else long ago.

Since it’s not those three people, then the problem... must be with Jiang Hao.

"Has there been no news from the people sent to check on her?"

The King of Qi is asking about Luoqiongchuan.

Luo Qiongchuan is in charge of the entire intelligence system of the Prince of Qi's Palace. After years of secret development, his men are spread all over Dali, and they can find out some news that are not secrets at all very quickly.

"Have."

Luo Qiongchuan answered straightforwardly, but the confusion and shock in his heart left him puzzled. Because of this, he was still considering how to ask the prince about this.

As a result, the prince asked first.

"Before being brought back by Grand Tutor Ji, Princess Jiahe was raised by the former magistrate of Qingchuan County, Jiang Huaiqing and his wife. Because she was not Jiang Huaiqing's biological daughter, she was not favored by Madam Jiang and was not as favored as another adopted daughter in the mansion. When she was kicked out by the Jiang family, the whole Qingchuan County knew about it. Later, when Jiang Huaiqing was exposed for embezzlement in the mine, Ji Zhong, the steward of the Ji Mansion, took her back to Kyoto."

Gone?

The King of Qi was obviously not satisfied with Jiang Hao's concise summary and looked at Luo Qiongchuan with a frown.

Seeing this, Luo Qiongchuan quickly added: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, which I am particularly cautious about - Qingchuan County has never heard that Magistrate Jiang's daughter knows medical skills."
