242 It's not that I won't report it, it's just that the time has not come yet
The three of them quietly returned to the room through the back window, and Ping An asked them to go back to their room and rest. It would be bad to make any noise as there was a guy on duty downstairs.
The door opened with a gentle push, and the master was indeed not asleep yet.
Ping An quietly recounted the incident: "Master, this guy is most likely the one who did it, but we can only give him a small punishment like this. We dare not make a big deal out of it. The two guards should wake up soon. Ruyi only gave them a small amount of medicine."
He took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and said, "Ruyi only took these banknotes and didn't take the others."
Sun Sicheng snorted, "He is quite timid now. Just take it. Just treat it as a way to calm you down. It's not much. Give fifty taels to Ruyi and He Jin each. Don't tell anyone else. Hide the silver."
Ping An grinned and counted the banknotes, "Master, it's quite a lot, six hundred and eighty taels. Ruyi only took these banknotes from the cabinet and left the others alone."
"Look at your useless look. Master Bao probably spends hundreds of taels of silver for a meal. The Bao family has plenty of money, otherwise an old man wouldn't dare to be so arrogant. Let Wanli prepare daily necessities tomorrow, and we will set off the day after tomorrow. I will never let Bao Chengyang go in the future, but not now. Go to sleep."
At dawn, the steward of the Bao family found the inn.
"Manager He, our master wants the eldest son to come over."
He Jin said, "Our eldest son went to treat your old master in the middle of the night, and he hasn't woken up yet. Even if he is treating a patient, he can't let him rest. I will tell him when he wakes up."
The steward said anxiously, "Steward He, please help wake up the eldest master. My master is also sick and very seriously ill. Please ask him to come over now. Please."
He stuffed a purse into He Jin's hand, and He Jin took it. Then he slowly went upstairs to call for help.
People must be called, the Bao family is well-known here, and some accounts cannot be settled now.
He Jin squeezed the small purse in his hand, which contained a small silver ingot of about one or two taels. In the early morning, Ping An quietly stuffed fifty taels of silver notes into his and Ruyi's pockets.
He grinned and laughed. Ruyi was still too timid. From such a wealthy Mr. Bao, he only took a few small banknotes.
"Young Master, someone from the Bao family came to urge you to come to the house. I said you were still sleeping because you were too tired last night. Then the housekeeper said that their young master was ill and it was quite serious."
It's really scary, useless thing.
"Got it. Let him wait for a while. Is everyone up? Have you ordered breakfast? I need to eat before I go."
"Wanli and Master Ping'an are chatting with Doctor Jie downstairs. Most of our people are up, and it's not convenient to do morning exercises here."
Sun Sicheng got up slowly and said, "Let them rest well for the next two days. You will follow me to the Bao family later. Wanli will go to prepare the goods. We have to leave the day after tomorrow anyway."
The day after tomorrow is the middle of June, the day when the people from Yong'an will set out. If there is no delay, the journey from Yong'an to here will only take twelve days. Counting from the day they set out, the twenty-fifth day has already passed.
It delayed half of the time.
"Master, I'll go with you to take a look."
Sun Sicheng looked at his apprentice's yellowish face due to too much facial cream and couldn't stand it at all. A white and tender face was better. However, for this trip, it would be best for Ping An to have such a face from now on.
This kind of facial concealer does not need to be applied every day. As long as you don't wash it with specific solutions, it will only become slightly lighter day by day, but it will not return to its original state.
"Okay, follow behind."
The steward of the Bao family was going crazy, but the eldest son said that he did not sleep well last night and felt dizzy when he woke up this morning. If he couldn't even eat breakfast and had to go to the Bao family for a medical examination, then the Bao family should find another doctor, as he didn't have any extra time.
The steward had no choice but to stay and wait, and asked the servant who came with him to go back home and tell the master first.
The eldest master is not an ordinary doctor. Besides, he was indeed invited to the mansion late at night last night, and it was late at night when he came back.
No one knows what’s going on with the Bao family. They keep getting into trouble again and again. It’s okay with the old man, as he’s old and can’t do anything, but the eldest son is only in his twenties and hasn’t even had a son yet. What should they do?
Bao Mansion.
The servant came back and told the master. Master Bao was also helpless and waved his hand to let him go.
At daybreak, two guards came to take over their shift. This was a shocking change of scene. They saw their eldest son, tied to the ground, wet, with something stuffed in his mouth. The two guards were missing, and there were obvious signs that the son's room had been ransacked.
Two people hurried over to look for him. He hurriedly brought them over to take a look. His son had a high fever, his forehead was hot enough to boil an egg, and his body was wrinkled and wet. What happened?
He finally woke his son up, but he was like he had seen a ghost, and kept shouting that he didn't dare to do it anymore, and didn't care about paper money or anything. He was completely out of his mind.
He had no idea what had happened last night. His son's personal servant was called in to investigate and was told that the young master had lost a lot of things. Fortunately, most of the things were in the backyard, so the loss was not that great.
The two guards disappeared and some things were taken away. It was obvious that the two guards did it.
But they didn't dare to steal the carriage. They were just two people and could have just found a place to hide, or they could have slipped out among the crowd once the city gate opened. How could they be found?
Although he went to the yamen and spent the money, Bao Wangfa had no confidence at all. His family was in misfortune and even his two guards were stepped on.
Now I just hope that my son is just confused due to the fever, but not really crazy.
"Master, Young Master Sun is here."
"Young Master, I'm sorry to bother you again so early in the morning." Bao Wangfa's eyes suddenly became hot. There was probably no one as unlucky as him.
"Master Bao, the steward said that Master Bao is also sick? Wasn't he fine during the day? In fact, there is no need to make a fuss when young people get sick. They will be fine after a day's sleep. Was the old man okay last night?"
Bao Wangfa smiled bitterly: "After you left last night, my father made a scene, then I went to sleep. I didn't go to his house this morning, so it should be nothing.
Sir, I asked you to come here mainly because of my son. He must have been tricked by his two guards. He was found by the guards who were changing shifts in the early morning. He was already delirious from fever. After waking him up, he couldn't even recognize me. Sir, was he delirious from fever for a while?"
Sun Sicheng frowned and said, "Take me to see him. He may have been confused due to the fever, or his brain may have been damaged."
He didn't expect that Master Bao could not bear the torture, even though He Jin and the others had already let him go.
When Sun Sicheng and Ping'an stood in front of Bao Chengyang, they looked at the foolish man, who was completely different from the one they saw yesterday.
"Hey, this, Master Bao, your son is not in good condition."
Just as he was about to take Bao Chengyang's hand to feel his pulse, the other party started to make a big fuss, calling out people's names, now this name, now that name.
"Mr. Bao, can I help you with your diagnosis?"
"No, no, don't grab me, I'll give you paper money in a minute, okay?"
"Cheng Yang, stop talking nonsense, Master. I'm sorry to hear such unlucky words so early in the morning."
"Master, the old man is angry again and insists that you go over." A servant came running over.
Bao Wangfa felt like he was going crazy: "Just go back and keep an eye on him. Don't let him go out."
Ping An was so shocked that he was speechless. The water was so shallow, but it could make him suffer like this. He couldn't blame himself for this. It must be the retribution for doing too many bad things.
As the old saying goes, it’s not that there is no retribution, it’s that the time has not come yet.
