Escape after crossing

"master."

"Is something wrong?"

"Master, I have something to tell you."

"Come upstairs!"

"I'll ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast." Shopkeeper Zhang interrupted appropriately before they went upstairs.

"Let's do it later. I'm not hungry yet. I want to go out for exercise later." Leng Chenming said.

"Yes."

Xuan Yi followed Leng Chenming upstairs and told him what he saw this morning, which he did not tell Leng Chenming last night.

Leng Chenming was also surprised at first, but only for a moment. After hearing what Wu Shijie did last night, he didn't find it strange to hear Jiang Ziluo bullying him like this.

"Did you fail to deal with those people you killed last night?" Leng Chenming thought of the message Wu Shijie had passed on to Wu Shiyong.

"Return to the master, no."

"Let's go. We should be one step faster than them if we go now."

"Master, you don't have to go. I'll go."

"It's okay, we need to exercise too, let's go!"

Leng Chenming took Xuan Yi and the people who secretly protected Leng Chenming to the place where they were ambushed last night to deal with the bodies.

The bailiff who first ran back to the government office to report the news to the prefect Wu Shiyong told Wu Shiyong what he saw, but Wu Shiyong was eager to show off and did not see what was going on inside.

So Wu Shiyong asked him if someone was really dead, was the dead person a man or a woman, what was their name, and how did they die?

The bailiff ran back without even checking. Wu Shiyong felt anxious and angry as he looked at the bailiff who knew nothing about anything.

Wu Shiyong was anxious to know what was going on, but he was really angry when faced with subordinates who knew nothing about anything.

At such an important time, something happened to Wu Shijie. What should we do? In addition, Wu Shijie should have reported the news last night, but there has been no news.

Wu Shiyong had been keeping his cool, but this time he was a little anxious. So he sent someone to ask about the details again, hoping that Jie could come back in person to answer.

After everyone left, Wu Shiyong returned to the study and sat down, thinking carefully about what had happened in the past two days. He wanted to see what had gone wrong and why something went wrong at such a critical moment.

Before Wu Shiyong could think of anything, someone else came to report, "Sir, Guo Zi is back and has something to say."

"What? You must see me."

"Your Excellency, Captain Wu has something for him to pass on."

"Hurry, let him in." When Wu Shiyong heard that it was Wu Shijie who sent the message, he quickly asked someone to come in.

Guo Zi was called in, knelt down and saluted before saying, "Sir, Captain Wu said he has something outside the city, and wants you to send someone to check if it's still there."

"That's it? Nothing else?" Wu Shiyong asked anxiously when he saw that the other person had finished speaking and had nothing else to say.

"Your Excellency, it's gone." Guozi told the truth.

Wu Shiyong didn't understand what he heard, but based on his understanding of Wu Shijie, he knew that Wu Shijie would not let anyone spread such nonsense.

"Let me ask you, why didn't Captain Wu come and tell me about this himself?" Wu Shiyong asked again.

"Your Excellency, we found a male corpse on Captain Wu's bed. When we went there, the people were all gathered at Captain Wu's house. It's not a good time for Captain Wu to come out now, so I came back to pass on a message."

"A male corpse? How did he die? Anything else you found?"

"Your Excellency, we still don't know how he died. We'll need a coroner to take a look later. But..."

Seeing that the bailiff had nothing to say, Wu Shiyong wanted to ask more questions, but when he saw that there was someone else in the room, he let the man out.

"Okay, keep talking."

"Yes, sir. At first I asked Captain Wu if he knew him. Captain Wu said he knew him, but then he said he didn't."

Wu Shiyong frowned and asked again, "Who else knows about this?"

"There are also Li Wei and Li Wu. There were only three of us in the room at the time. The rest were outside and couldn't hear it." The yamen runner named Guozi was not a stupid one.

When Wu Shiyong found that he could not get any more information, he said to Guo Zi, "I know what happened. You can take the coroner with you. Bring the people back as soon as possible."

Wu Shiyong still wanted to know what happened specifically, but he listened to Wu Shijie and sent people out of the city.

Just say go out of town to the epidemic area, and pay attention to whether there is anything special along the way.

However, what needs to be done still needs to be done. Yesterday evening, three imperial doctors were called in and asked to give the antidote to the people in the epidemic area today.

However, Doctor Hu, who was supposed to be captured last night, has not been seen yet. Wu Shiyong also stopped sitting there and called someone to come, saying that he wanted to go to the Ninth Prince's place to see him.

Actually, I wanted to see if Doctor Hu was there? Then I could know if Wu Shijie succeeded last night.

After having the carriage prepared, Wu Shiyong led his men to the Ninth Prince's residence. At this time, Jiang Ziluo was still sleeping in the Ninth Prince's residence.

Maybe he was really exhausted yesterday and hasn't woken up yet. Ju Ziming called the three doctors of Baicaotang early in the morning and told them what Jiang Ziluo had told him last night.

Now the three of them realized that Jiang Ziluo was one of them. Then they obeyed the order, took the medicine and left.

When Ju Ziming was giving the Ninth Prince a nutritional injection, someone came to the gate to report that the prefect had come to see the Ninth Prince.

Even though those close to them knew in the past two days that the Ninth Prince was poisoned, they were still taking precautions as before when they thought it was an epidemic.

Ju Ziming told Zhu Qing and the others to keep calm, as now was not the right time.

Zhu Qing naturally understood, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart. However, he still listened to Ju Ziming's words and swallowed his anger.

But he was afraid of being exposed, so he did not follow Ju Ziming out. He stayed in the room, and the prefect left it to Ju Ziming to deal with.

Ju Ziming also knew that he would be very satisfied if he could make these people listen to him. You have to know that these people have always followed the Ninth Prince and only listen to the Ninth Prince.

Ju Ziming could only accept his fate and go out to deal with the prefect Wu Shiyong. When he arrived at the front hall, Wu Shiyong had just come in.

"Master Wu."

"Doctor Ju, please excuse me. I wonder how the Ninth Prince has been these past two days. What did Doctor Hu say?"

"Sir, Doctor Hu went to the epidemic area yesterday and studied it for a long time after returning yesterday, but he didn't come up with a new prescription."

"When did Doctor Hu come back yesterday? Why is there no one here?"

"Doctor Hu came back at dusk yesterday, but maybe he worked late last night and hasn't gotten up yet?

If you have something important to say, I will send someone to wake him up and bring him to see you."

"Okay, thank you for troubling Doctor Ju. I am very concerned about the Ninth Prince's condition and would like to ask Doctor Hu if he has any solution?"

Wu Shiyong came to see Doctor Hu, so of course he had to meet him in person to feel at ease!

"Sir Wu, have you had breakfast? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Sir Wu, please wait here." Ju Ziming didn't want to wait here.

"It just so happens that I haven't had breakfast either, so I'll have a good breakfast."

Ju Ziming ordered everyone to eat and make breakfast in the afternoon, and he went to wake Jiang Ziluo up to see how to deal with the prefect Wu next.

When he arrived outside Jiang Ziluo's room, he knocked on the door and called out, "Doctor Hu, Doctor Hu."

Jiang Ziluo in the room heard the voice and recognized it as the master's voice, so he responded, "Wait a moment, I'll be right there."

Jiang Ziluo fell asleep as soon as he came back last night, so it was easy for him to get up. He pulled his clothes and looked in the mirror. Seeing nothing wrong, he went to open the door.

Seeing that the master was alone, he asked him to go into the room first. As soon as he entered the room, Jiang Ziluo asked hurriedly.

"Master, what happened?"

"No, nothing happened. Wu Shiyong came and said he wanted to see you..."
