Chapter 256 The Words on the Note

Meng Yunzheng also saw her, nodded slightly to her, and continued walking forward as if nothing had happened.

Shu Yu put down three copper coins, picked up the medicine bag, and followed, stopping only when they reached a deserted corner.

Outside, even though Shu Yu was the only person opposite him, Meng Yunzheng cautiously remained silent, only raising his hand to indicate that he was about to take action.

Shu Yu nodded. "Then be careful."

Meng Yunzheng smiled at her, then nimbly leaped onto the wall.

The Jiang family certainly had servants and guards, but they were no match for Meng Yunzheng.

The Jiang family was wealthy, and their house was quite large. After searching around, Meng Yunzheng found Jiang Ren's courtyard.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ren was not in his courtyard.

However, Meng Yunzheng learned from Jiang Da Shao's wife that Jiang Ren had gone to see his third brother, Jiang Li.

Meng Yunzheng hesitated for a moment, then turned and went to Jiang Sanshao's courtyard.

Even though a day had passed, Jiang Li's courtyard was still somewhat noisy, especially the voices of Jiang's father and mother, which were particularly chaotic.

One was blaming the butler for being useless, and the other was saying that Young Master Jiang was not doing his job properly and had not yet found the murderer.

One of them was comforting Jiang Li, who was clearly in a bad mood, and also asked about Dr. Liu's condition.

Doctor Liu had already prepared the medicine and had someone feed it to Jiang Li.

After Jiang Li finished drinking the medicine, his face turned even worse. He smashed the bowl on the ground and demanded, "Why is this medicine so bitter? Do you even know how to diagnose and prescribe medicine?"

Doctor Liu remained silent. He wasn't a servant of the Jiang family, and he wasn't someone who could be scolded at will.

Anyway, seeing that Jiang Li was so lively and energetic, he was obviously fine, so he said goodbye and left.

Jiang's mother had someone see him off, then turned around to comfort Jiang Li.

Jiang's father had already dismissed Jiang Ren and the housekeeper.

Meng Yunzheng stared at Jiang Ren, and when he saw that Jiang Ren had walked a distance but was still not far from Jiang Li's courtyard, he pulled out the bamboo tip from his sleeve.

He then gathered his strength and hurled it at him.

With a "whoosh," the bamboo tip didn't use the bow, but the force was still considerable.

It grazed right in front of Jiang Ren and stuck straight into the muddy ground.

Jiang Ren was startled and immediately screamed, taking a few steps back in terror.

The butler and several servants shouted, "There's a thief! Protect the young master!"

Many people immediately rushed towards the direction from which the bamboo tip had been shot, but Meng Yunzheng had already changed his location.

He didn't leave; he stayed at the Jiang residence to see what would happen next.

The commotion from Jiang Ren's side quickly reached Jiang Li's courtyard. Jiang's father ran out and asked, "What happened?"

The butler hurriedly spoke up, "Just now, an arrow was shot directly at the young master. Some villains wanted to harm the young master, but fortunately, the young master was alert and dodged quickly."

Jiang's father was terrified. Just then, someone found the bamboo tip and ran over to hand it to him.

Upon seeing that it was just an ordinary bamboo tip, the expressions on everyone's faces became subtly different for a moment.

Looking at the paper strip stuck on the bamboo tip, Jiang's father quickly reached out, pulled it out, and unfolded it to read.

The next moment, his expression changed drastically, and he looked sharply at Jiang Ren.

Jiang Ren's heart skipped a beat, a bad premonition rising within him. "Dad, what did the note say?"

Jiang's father threw the note over, and Jiang Ren quickly caught it and read it.

Then, I saw a line of very clear sentences: "Young Master Jiang, I advise you to leave some room for others in the future, otherwise next time it won't just be Young Master Jiang who gets hurt."
