Shen Qingge saw through the twists and turns in Li Tian's mind at a glance, but she remained calm and continued to chat with Li Tian about random things. After all, she had heard everything she wanted to hear.

Maybe it was because they were talking too loudly, but Ma Si, who was walking in front, looked over warily:

"What are you talking about? Brother Tian, ​​don't be fooled by this little girl. She's got so much evil in her heart! If I deduct your salary later, don't blame me for not warning you!"

Only then did everyone quiet down and concentrate on their journey.

After walking for another half an hour, everyone finally returned to Tianfu Official Posthouse.

Seeing a person lying on the wooden cart that was pushed back, with tattered clothes and blood all over his body, the convicts immediately surrounded him, pointing and talking, but they did not dare to go forward.

"Oh my God, it's Dad, what's going on?"

After the Zhao family saw the people on the wooden cart clearly, they rushed over, surrounded the cart, and cried non-stop!

"Why are you crying? The man is not dead yet. Why are you mourning?"

Ma Si said unhappily.

Wang Gui also walked over at this time, took a look at the pale Zhao Du, and asked what was going on.

Then, Li Tian reported to Wang Gui in detail how Zhao Du was bitten by the scorpion, how they drove away the scorpion, and how Zhao Du escaped from danger.

When Wang Gui heard that it was Shen Qingge who used pills to treat Zhao Du, his eyes became dim and he thought that this woman was indeed not simple.

Zhao Ping, who had been lying on Zhao Du crying bitterly, stood up abruptly after hearing this. He took two steps at a time and came to Shen Qingge. He grabbed her arm tightly and asked:

"How could it be such a coincidence? My father was stung by a scorpion, and you have an antidote? Explain to me quickly, are you the one who deliberately murdered my father?"

Li Tian, ​​who was standing by, stepped forward without saying a word, raised his palm and slapped Zhao Ping's cheek fiercely, cursing non-stop:

"Fuck you! You bastard! Could it be that Scorpion Mountain was also specially created by Miss Shen? Please, have some brains!"

Zhao Ping fell to the ground after being slapped, his eyes full of resentment and resentment, and he continued to mutter:

"It must be this crazy woman who's doing this. Maybe she used some strange trick to lure those damn scorpions here. There's no doubt about it! My Lords, you must believe me!"

"Speaking of luring the scorpion, I think it was more like your father's doing!

He actually spilled the sesame oil he bought all over the floor. Anyone with a little common sense knows that sesame oil attracts scorpions. I think he is the one with ulterior motives!

You're still here blaming the person who saved your father. You're really ungrateful and don't know how kind people are! "

Niu Ergou interrupted indignantly.

Li Tian became more and more annoyed, and kicked Zhao Ping twice again, causing Zhao Ping's mouth to bleed.

Zhao Ping was stunned for a long moment, then timidly looked at the officer, still stubbornly saying, "Anyway, I don't believe she knows medicine! Even if she does, I don't believe she would be so kind as to save my father! She must have fed my father something bad. She wants to kill him!"

After saying that, Zhao Ping crawled towards Wang Gui and said, "Sir, please quickly call a doctor. Once the doctor arrives, he can prove that what I said is true. If you delay any longer, my father will die! I beg you..."

Wang Gui was annoyed by the noise, so he raised his head and looked towards the yard.

At this time, in the front yard of the official post station, the carriage of Fifth Prince Xiao Heng had already parked. Boxes of belongings had been packed, and the guards and servants were lined up in an orderly formation, ready to depart.

Seeing this scene, Wang Gui felt nervous and afraid of being criticized, so he immediately glanced at Ma Si beside him.

Ma Si understood what he meant, and immediately a fierce look appeared on his face. He shouted at Zhao Ping fiercely:

"Invite a doctor? Humph! Is your old father worthy enough? Do you still think he is still the second-rank official of the Ministry of Works who was once so glorious?

This is the wilderness, where can we find a doctor? We were able to go to the trouble of bringing him back instead of abandoning him to fend for himself. This is already the greatest gift to your family!"

After saying this, Ma Si no longer paid any attention to Zhao Ping, who was still lying on the ground begging desperately, but instead shouted at the top of his voice:

"Listen up, prisoners! Hurry and pick up your belongings! We're leaving soon! Don't delay your trip! Otherwise, you'll be in big trouble!"

Hearing this, the Zhao family, who were already extremely anxious, suddenly became chaotic. They all fell to the ground, kowtowed and begged for mercy, begging the officials to show mercy and not to leave. They must find a way to find a doctor to treat their master.

However, in the face of the Zhao family's tearful pleas, none of the officials were moved, and they even felt annoyed to even look at them for a second.

The other convicts were all busy packing their bags, fearing that they would delay the trip and anger the officers. How could they have the time to care about the Zhao family?

Shen Qingge stared at the dying Zhao Du. Seeing that his breathing was still steady, she knew he wouldn't die for a while. With so many people around, she gave up the idea of ​​interrogating Zhao Du and decided to wait for a more suitable time.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingge turned around and left without any hesitation.

Now, only the Zhao family was left in the yard. Only the official Niu Ergou felt sorry for them and stepped forward to remind them:

"You'd better get rid of him quickly! If he continues to make such a fuss, I'm afraid your whole family will suffer physical pain!

If I were you, I'd be smart and not mess with the Shen family. There's no one living in this area for a hundred miles, where can I find a doctor?

To put it bluntly, your master's life still depends on Miss Shen's medicine, so be sensible!"

After saying that, Niu Ergou picked up the package and quickly caught up with the team in front.

"Son, come here quickly..."

At this time, Zhao Du, who was lying on the wooden cart, shouted weakly.

The whole family hurried over.

"Son, don't get angry with the officers because of me... Hurry up and follow them!"

Zhao Du said this, panting, but added anxiously:

"If we… piss off the officials and can't reach Lingnan, I… we'll become… refugees. Then the Zhao family… will be truly finished, never to recover! Hurry… hurry and follow us!"

"But, old man, you are seriously injured. How can you walk?"

Zhao Du's wife, Wang, cried with tears and snot.

"Why...why, can't...can't leave? You're being too soft-hearted! Shen Qingge's medicine is...is of the best quality. Just help...help me get some, that'll be all!"
