The death of the old man of the Xiao family was just a passing mention in everyone's mouths, while Xiao Lan, who had always been a prominent figure in South City, was the hottest topic of conversation now.

"That Madam Sun is awake again?"

"She's so lucky! Do you remember that time she was poisoned by her mother-in-law?"

"Yeah, he didn't die! Is he immune to all poisons?"

"I'm afraid it's a demon!"

"How to say?"

"I heard he was on the verge of death, but suddenly came back to life! He caused unrest in the Sun family, and then he was fed poison and came back to life! Now, it is said that several doctors said he could not be saved, but now he is alive again!"

"Yeah... I heard it was the coroner who saved him!"

"What? I suspect it's not a human, but a ghost, maybe it's resurrected through a corpse!"

"That coroner lives in that alley. He said before that the whole family smells like medicine. I wonder if they can bring the dead back to life?"

"Can you give me a prescription for having a son? My sister-in-law is crazy about having a son. She already has three daughters!"

"I don't know. How about I ask for you?"

"Hey, coroner, it's taboo."

"Look at the dead. Isn't reincarnation the same as life? I guess it's really magical..."

Rumors on the streets are always strange. As they spread, they became known as the secret recipe for Xu's son...

-----------------

Liu Yu looked at Liu Hu sleeping on the couch. The room was filled with the smell of indulgence. The woman beside him said respectfully, "Master Liu, Master Hu has been doing very well these past few days. We have all served him wholeheartedly..."

"Hmm..." Liu Yu just looked at Liu Hu. His brother, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, had lost a lot of weight. After all, he was so dizzy and intoxicated by this divine fragrance every day that it was impossible for him to be normal. Several women lay beside him, still asleep. He knew that this was not Liu Hu's will, but if he could help him forget about Xiao Lan, it would naturally be the best.

Thinking of Xiao Lan, Liu Yu couldn't help but admire her. She didn't die... Was it because of Xu's great medical skills, or did she have an antidote?

Liu Hu heard the movement around him, looked up with a confused look in his eyes, and looked sideways at Liu Yu, "Brother..."

Liu Yu didn't say anything, and Liu Hu shouted again, "Brother, let me out..."

"Where to go..."

"Why is that so..."

"You lied to me!"

"No……"

Liu Yu looked at him, then turned and left without a word. Liu Hu reached out to grab the man's sleeve, but only grabbed a thin gauze skirt...

Liu Yu had previously suspected that Liu Hu would suddenly break up with Xiao Lan, returning to express his disappointment and anger towards her. However, after much investigation, he finally discovered that Xu, the coroner, had been in and out of the Sun residence during those days and had not been abducted by Liu Hu. This meant that Liu Yue and Liu Hu had conspired to deceive him, and Liu Hu's reappearance at Miweixuan was simply to gather information for Xiao Lan. As for whether Liu Hu had informed Xiao Lan of their relationship, it was unknown.

He was extremely disappointed. If this was true, even if he had to keep a useless person, it would be better than asking Liu Hu to work for Xiao Lan!

Liu Yu's eyes were full of murderous intent. He just thought that since poison didn't work, he would just kill the enemy with a single blow or a single knife next time!

"Captain Liu! Magistrate Su is here!"

"Magister Su?" Liu Yu glanced at the guard who came to report. He knew Su Ze too well. Since taking office, he had never visited them privately, let alone now.

"What's the matter?"

The guard replied respectfully, "It's to thank the soldiers guarding the north gate for their help that day."

Liu Yu looked up at the sky. It was even more strange to arrive at this time!

"Please come in and we'll host a banquet for you."

Today, Su Ze, dressed in casual clothes, took Xue Wu, Constable Zhao, and Master Cui, who had just returned to South City, and went straight to the military camp to visit Liu Yu.

When the few people met Liu Yu, they just exchanged a few pleasantries and then reluctantly went to the courtyard where the banquet was held and sat down.

"It is my honor that Lord Su has the honor of coming here today!" Liu Yu raised his wine bowl and looked at Su Ze with a smile on his face.

Su Ze also said the same thing, "That day at the city gate, the unruly people rioted, and it was thanks to the city defense army that came to our aid. I wonder if the brothers who were there that day are still here. I want to thank them on the spot."

"Oh, what a coincidence! It's their turn to be on duty today, but they are not in the camp!" Liu Yu looked regretful.

"Oh? That's unfortunate." Su Ze also raised his wine bowl. "You lead the army well, and your subordinates are all skilled soldiers and craftsmen. Today, I would like to offer you a bowl of your fine wine. Please don't blame me for borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha!"

"What are you talking about... Come on!"

The two of them clinked glasses, and Xue Wu and Constable Zhao also followed a few guards who could be called by name, drinking bowl after bowl. Master Cui just waited behind them without drinking a drop of wine.

The wine jars on the ground were empty one by one, and the sky gradually darkened.

At this moment, Xue Wu stood up unsteadily, covering a lantern with his presence, casting a large shadow. Liu Yu looked up at him and said, "I didn't think much of it before, but if Captain Xue had a physique like that, he would definitely achieve great things in the military camp!"

Xue Wu waved his hand and said, "I wanted to join the army back then, but unfortunately I missed the chance and I never got another chance."

Liu Yu asked, "Why did you miss it?"

Xue Wu didn't answer and just went to the door, "I can't hold it anymore, I can't hold it anymore!"

Liu Yu paused and laughed, "Brother Xue is really a man of temperament!"

At this time, Su Ze carried the jar of wine and sat down next to Liu Yu.

"After chatting today, I didn't expect that we all knew Master Yu in the capital. If we have the chance in the future, we must go and have a drink with him."

"I thought Brother Su was a serious person, but I didn't expect that we would get along so well today and have mutual friends. In this case, we must get together more often in the future."

"That's natural. I'm not good at talking, so people who don't know me well find me quite boring. But once you get to know me, you'll realize I'm not that inflexible."

After a while of back and forth, Liu Yu could only sigh that Su Ze looked like a weak and sour scholar, but he didn't expect that he could drink a lot. He looked a little drunk only after drinking so much.

Suddenly, someone was seen talking to the guard at the door, looking inside from time to time. Finally, the guard came in and leaned over to Liu Yu's ear to speak.

Su Ze consciously walked a few steps to the side, but still heard the three words "Miweixuan".

When the guard was halfway through his words, Liu Yu's face was already as cold as ice. He hurriedly stood up and said to Su Ze, "The city guards just reported that they saw a fire somewhere in the city. I'm afraid something has happened. Brother Su, do you want to go and take a look?"

"Fire? Where?" Su Ze was surprised. He didn't even place the wine jar on the table properly, and it fell to the ground with a bang. He hurried to Liu Yu and almost tripped over the wine jar. Fortunately, Master Cui was quick to catch him.

Liu Yu also reached out to help, "Don't worry, don't worry..." Although he said that, he couldn't help but walk out.

He hadn't taken two steps when he suddenly stopped. Su Ze was puzzled, "What's going on?"

Liu Yu looked at Xue Wu who was wandering over from a distance and shook his head. "It's okay, it's okay. I've had too much to drink. I'll go with you to take a look."
