Chapter 708: So insidious
I remember that at that time, Mrs. Wu was so fond of it that she almost held it in her arms as if it were a child.
Little Nuobao was startled and shouted, "Don't worry about other tea sets for now, look, this red coral on the table!"
Feng was holding a tea tray and was about to go out.
Hearing the voice, she turned back subconsciously, and her eyes followed Nuobao's glance and fell on the red coral.
The next moment, Feng's eyes condensed, and she remembered it with a slap on her forehead!
"Isn't this sent by the Pei family? I remember that they also sent one to our family at that time!" Feng hurried over.
In fact, at that time, she felt something was wrong.
Others would collect birthday gifts when setting up a banquet, but the Pei family was giving gifts out, which was really inexplicable.
Although the Jiang family also got this coral, because Feng Shi didn't like it, it was left in the storeroom to gather dust, and no one touched it.
But Madam Wu preferred this complicated thing, and once she got this treasure, she happily displayed it, and even placed it in her most precious tea room.
At this time, Wu Qing was also stunned, and walked over to stare at the coral.
"Princess, Madam Jiang, are you saying that this thing is from the Pei family?!"
He rarely came to the tea room, and the house was left to the madam to take care of, and he never asked about the source of this coral.
Feng Shi frowned and nodded, "Yes, that day, when the servant of the Pei Mansion sent the invitation, he specially gave this to our two families, and I heard that on the day of the banquet, other guests also received valuable gifts, all of which were very valuable."
Hearing this, Wu Qing was struck by lightning.
What? This item was actually sent by the Pei family. It was his fault for being careless and not asking.
Doctor Wu took out a pair of gloves without saying anything and ordered everyone to step back.
"Whether it is it or not, let me take a look first. Nuobao, you guys stay away and don't get too close."
After saying that, Doctor Wu picked up the red coral, squinted his eyes, and looked around sharply.
This red coral is half an arm tall, and the base is very heavy. It is placed on the tea table and is very eye-catching.
And it is dripping with blood, especially when the sunlight shines into the tea room, it looks particularly gorgeous like pigeon blood.
Anyone who gets such a treasure will most likely love it and sigh that it is a great treasure.
Doctor Wu looked around, and his brows gradually relaxed. "Well, the quality is indeed top-notch, it can be regarded as the best, and the color is also very positive. There is no problem at the moment."
Wu Qing was about to breathe a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Doctor Wu suddenly frowned and knocked on the base.
The next moment, he raised his hand and suddenly smashed the whole red coral on the ground.
With a thump, the coral and the base broke, which was particularly harsh in this small tea room.
Doctor Wu squatted down, and the next moment, he glared and shouted, "Look, there is something in here!"
Xiao Nuobao and Feng hurriedly lowered their heads to look.
They saw that a piece of coarse cloth was inexplicably exposed in the middle of the exquisite base.
Doctor Wu immediately pulled the piece of material and pulled it hard.
Then, half of a man's shirt suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes!
"Whose clothes are these? How could they be hidden under the coral..." Wu Qing widened his eyes and felt a chill in his heart.
Xiao Nuobao was very sharp-eyed. He saw at the first time that the clothes were not only crudely made, but also partly stained with blood.
Feng also became nervous, "Such an expensive item actually hides such a thing. Could it be that someone deliberately put it in?"
Doctor Wu unfolded it and took a look.
The worn-out clothes were stained with blood and had a slight smell of corpse.
He suddenly felt a chill rising from his feet to his head, and then he threw the clothes away as if his hands were burned.
"Needless to say, this must be the clothes worn by someone who was infected with the plague, and it has been hidden in this red coral." Doctor Wu's chest rose and fell violently, and his eyes showed unbearable disgust.
I dare not imagine that Mrs. Wu cherishes this treasure so much.
She is even willing to put it in the tea room so that they can look at each other every day.
However, who can think that such a luxurious object can hide something that can take people's lives? This is simply too terrible.
Doctor Wu suddenly felt a little tired.
He felt even more angry.
As a doctor, he worked so hard to give more people a chance to survive.
However, there is another group of people in this world who spend all their time thinking about how to harm others.
This kind of evil in human nature made him, an old man over fifty, shudder. It was really abominable.
Xiao Nuobao was also terrified when she heard it.
However, she couldn't care about being angry.
You know, it's not just the Wu family that has been tricked.
So she hurriedly pulled Wu Qing and said, "Quick, go to other people's homes and ask them to throw out the things sent by the Pei Mansion."
Wu Qing wiped his eyes, and without saying a word, he personally took the princess's oral order and several servants to go door to door to inform them.
After hearing this, everyone's eyes widened.
For a moment, it was simply unbelievable that they would fall into such a sinister trap...
Soon, the mansions of the officials were like a big market, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets, looking for the valuable gifts from the Pei Mansion that day...
Although the gifts received by everyone were different,
they all had one thing in common.
That is, they were extremely expensive, so expensive that people were reluctant to put them away!
Among them, the Bai family took out a set of screens. The Wang
family took out a treasure vase.
And these treasures were no exception. After being smashed, some fragments of clothing were exposed inside.
Wu Qing looked at these and was so angry that he really wanted to rush to the Tianlao himself, tear Gu Changying into pieces, and question her why she was so vicious!
But now is not the time to vent his anger and take revenge.
After finishing the round of collection, he hurriedly brought all the things back to the front of the Wu Mansion and handed them to Doctor Wu for inspection one by one.
"Master Wu, these clothes should belong to people who have been infected with the disease. I wonder if these things can help us find out what the disease is and then prescribe a prescription?" Xiao Nuobao asked seriously.
Doctor Wu covered his face tightly with a veil and fumigated the surroundings with moxa leaves.
Then he squatted down, risking being infected by the disease, and put the clothes one by one in front of him for inspection.
The servants of the Wu Mansion were all watching from the side, and their eyes had already turned red from crying.
Time passed by little by little.
But Doctor Wu still looked down and looked through them without saying a word. Some maids and old women had become pessimistic.
Someone sobbed quietly, "Although we have found the source of the disease, how can we be sure what disease the lady has contracted based on these clothes and pants? Isn't this just wasting time?"
Others wiped away tears and worried, "Yes, although Doctor Wu is a skilled doctor, he is still a human being, not a god, and it is impossible for him to perform miracles in everything."
Just when everyone's eyes were getting wet and they felt that they were doing useless work, only Xiao Nuobao clenched his fists, believing that Master Wu would find a way.
Doctor Wu ignored the voice behind him.
He frowned and his hands moved faster and faster, as if he was putting together something.
After a while, suddenly, Doctor Wu shouted loudly.
"It's done, come and see, the answer is indeed hidden in this dress!"
