Chapter 57 Who is more powerful than 1

"Really?" Ye Qinglin asked suspiciously, looking at Xie Xu with half belief and half doubt.

Xie Xu smiled, rubbed the back of Ye Qinglin's hand twice, and immediately changed the subject: "Have you found your uncle?"

Ye Qinglin shook her head: "It seems that Uncle Grandpa doesn't want to see us."

Xie Xu hummed softly, "It was fate that I was able to meet my uncle yesterday."

"Yes." Ye Qinglin nodded in agreement.

Who would have thought that they just helped an old man, but ended up getting the other half of the Chen family heirloom and finding the great-uncle Chen whom they had never met.

Then, Xie Cong poked his head in with a simple smile on his face.

"Uncle Four, Aunt Four, I have news for you."

"What news?" Ye Qinglin continued speaking following Xie Cong's words.

Xie Cong chuckled and said, "I sneaked into the Huang Mansion today and saw Mr. Huang talking to a man in a black robe. The man in the black robe had a very hoarse and unpleasant voice.

Then, a villager from Xinghua Village ran to Huang’s house to meet the man in black robe. No one knew what the villager said, but the man in black robe was very angry and walked out of Huang’s house cursing.

The black-robed man cursed loudly. I heard him saying he wanted to settle accounts with his mortal enemy and let him know how powerful he was.

Hearing this, Ye Qinglin looked at Xie Xu: "It seems that Mr. Huang has a relationship with Prince Xiang."

Xie Xu nodded, narrowing his deep eyes: "Xie Cong said before that Mr. Huang was buying medicinal herbs. The three medical clinics in Hongcheng are all owned by him. He is the largest medicinal herb merchant in Hongcheng and Yaocheng. If he says that he has a so-called prescription for curing the plague, then..."

"If we hadn't shown up, Mr. Huang would have made a fortune." Xie Cong answered without hesitation: "Not only that, now that Mr. Huang knows someone is blocking his path to wealth, he will definitely be angry and deliberately raise the price of the herbs."

Ye Qinglin pursed her lips and whispered, "It seems that we now have two enemies to deal with."

Xie Xu's eyes turned and he spoke slowly: "Leave Crazy Du to Brother Liu, and we will deal with Mr. Huang."

Afterwards, Xie Xu instructed Xie Cong to find out everything about Mr. Huang.

Ye Qinglin approached Xie Xu, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you planning to rob the Huang Mansion?"

Xie Xu curled his lips and said calmly: "Crazy Du must know that Brother Liu took out the prescription for treating the plague, and he can probably guess what the herbs are. Huang Yuanwai must have hoarded the herbs in anger and was unwilling to sell them to the county magistrate.

The villagers took the medicine and were getting better, but when they stopped taking the medicine, they would definitely think too much. If someone deliberately spread bad words at this time to incite the villagers' emotions.

Even if the county magistrate buys the herbs, the villagers will not take them, and things will return to square one. Besides, the purpose of our stay in Hongcheng is to get the Sui Xin grass to treat the master's wife."

Ye Qinglin naturally understood what Xie Xu meant.

If they want to get the Sui Xin Grass, they must solve the plague.

To solve this plague, we must get rid of Crazy Du and Mr. Huang.

On the other side, at the entrance of Xinghua Village.

Liu Yueshi folded his arms and squinted his eyes as he looked at Mr. Du, who was wearing a black robe.

"Crazy Du, it's July now and you're still wearing a black robe. Aren't you hot?"

"It's none of your business. Liu Shitou, why do you always ruin my plans?" Du Fengzi's hoarse voice carried a hint of anger.

Liu Yueshi spread his hands and shrugged helplessly: "I can't help it. I am a soft-hearted person and I can't just stand by and watch someone die!"

Crazy Du laughed and said sarcastically, "I don't believe you would be so kind."

"That's the truth. I can't help it if you don't believe me." Liu Yueshi shrugged. "Okay, I won't say any more. I still have to treat the villagers."

After he finished speaking, Liu Yueshi turned around and waved to Crazy Du with his back to him.

Crazy Du frowned and sprinkled a handful of powder at Liu Yueshi.

The powder fell on his body. Liu Yueshi stopped and turned to look at Fengzi Du with cold eyes.

"Crazy Du, after all these years, you haven't changed."

Crazy Du smiled coldly: "Haha, Liu Shitou, let's see who can cure the villagers infected with the plague."

"Okay." Liu Yueshi accepted Du Fengzi's proposal: "If I win, you have to give me the antidote."

Crazy Du pulled the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Sure!"

When Liu Qingzhi saw Liu Yueshi coming back, he walked up to him happily and stretched his neck to take a look at the black shadow not far away.

"Dad, did you compete with Crazy Du again?"

Liu Yueshi grinned and said, "No one knows me better than my son."

Liu Qingzhi also laughed and blinked his round eyes: "If you win, can he give you the antidote?"

"It's unlikely." Liu Yueshi touched his chin.

Liu Qingzhi stroked his chin and said, "I think so too. If he was a man who kept his promises, he wouldn't have been so shameless as to refuse to give you the antidote after losing to you five times."

Liu Yueshi nodded slightly and rubbed Liu Qingzhi's head: "But every time we compete, your father still gains something. We already know most of the poisonous herbs used in the poison, and we don't know what the remaining poisonous herb is.

This time, if I can get some information out of Crazy Du, I’ll know how to detoxify him.”

Liu Qingzhi nodded vigorously and said "hmm" twice.

Liu Yueshi suddenly thought of something and his face turned serious. "Crazy Du likes to cut off my path at the root. I'll talk to County Magistrate Zhou and ask him to stock up more medicinal herbs."

noon.

The Xie family was having lunch when they saw the Liu family father and son walking towards them with their heads down.

"What happened?" Ye Qinglin put down her chopsticks and looked at the two of them.

It was the first time she saw the father and son so decadent.

As soon as Liu Yueshi sat down, he poured himself a cup of tea and drank it down in one gulp.

Liu Qingzhi also gulped down the water. When he heard Ye Qinglin's question, he quickly replied, "Aunt, don't you know how abominable that crazy Du is!"

Afterwards, Liu Qingzhi told the story of the competition between Liu Yueshi and Du Fengzi, and how Du Fengzi deliberately bought medicinal materials from all the clinics in Hongcheng.

"Now County Magistrate Zhou is having a headache. The remaining herbs are only enough for one day. If he only takes three days to take the medicine, the villagers will surely think too much. When the time comes, the villagers will be very emotional, and I'm afraid County Magistrate Zhou won't be able to control it."

Liu Qingzhi pulled his hair and said, "Now County Magistrate Zhou has sent people to the neighboring Yao City to buy medicinal herbs. I hope they can buy some tomorrow."

evening.

Zhou Ping walked to the inn with a sad face. He wanted to talk to Liu Yueshi and Dongfang Yu, but he unexpectedly saw Xie Xu sitting in a wheelchair.

At that moment, Zhou Ping paused and understood instantly.

"My Lord." Zhou Ping bowed respectfully.

Xie Xu smiled and shook his head: "County Magistrate Zhou, I am no longer a marquis."

Zhou Ping pursed his lips, his face full of regret, and then cupped his hands: "Thank you, sir."

Xie Xu smiled lightly and nodded slightly: "I guess County Magistrate Zhou came here for the medicinal herbs."

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment, but he did not hide anything and briefly explained the matter. Then he looked at Dongfang Yu.

Dongfang Yu was helpless and sighed: "County Magistrate Zhou, although Mingyue Villa has medicinal herbs, it is quite far from Hongcheng. It will probably take three days to go back and forth."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ping became extremely worried and sighed repeatedly.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Xie Xu spoke faintly: "I think County Magistrate Zhou knows that this plague is man-made, and he has also investigated the person behind it."
