Chapter 176 Revenge Must Be Taken Personally
Only when the powder covered the eroded areas on Fang Zhitong's back did Jun Moye take Qinggu away.
After returning to the Jun family, Jun Moye brought Qinggu to the study.
"Uncle Qinggu, you came a little late and you won't be able to see my father."
Qinggu looked sad after hearing this.
"Master, it's my fault."
Jun Moye put his hands on the table.
"I don't mean to blame you. You've protected my father all your life and are his closest personal guard. Something happened in the Qin Palace so quickly that I had to assign all the subsequent arrangements to you. It's already very good that you were able to make it to the northwest."
Qing Gu lowered his head and spoke.
"Master, Qing Gu has failed to live up to your trust. The Crown Prince's Mansion was over-prepared. Many of our hidden agents in the Qin Palace have been eliminated. I was only able to save a small number of them. The rest, Qing Zhi, stayed in the Imperial City, waiting to be picked up later."
Jun Moye's expression didn't change much after hearing this.
"We'll save as many as we can. Right now, our main focus is on the development of the northwest. Once we have enough power in the Imperial City, we can slowly make arrangements."
Qing Gu looked at Jun Moye and finally spoke with a sad expression.
"Master, can I go and pay my respects to the old master?"
Jun Moye's heart sank when he heard this.
"Uncle Qinggu, my father's tomb is in the ancestral hall. You can ask Uncle Liu to take you there tomorrow."
Qinggu understood as soon as he heard it. He was afraid that the King of Qin's coffin was on the way to exile in the northwest and had not been brought there in time.
"Master, don't be sad. The old master wants you to be well. He will rest in peace in his grave. Later, I will accompany you to bring the old master back to the imperial city."
Jun Moye just nodded slightly after hearing this, and spoke after a long time.
"I've asked someone to investigate Magistrate Hua. You should investigate as well. Magistrate Hua is not worthy of being a county official at all."
Qing Gu bowed when he heard this.
"Yes, I will find useful evidence as soon as possible."
Jun Moye waited until Qinggu left, his eyes filled with sadness. He leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back against the chair's back, and rubbed his temples with his hands.
After sitting here for a long time and calming down his emotions, he returned to the dormitory, hugged Su Hanchu in his arms, bent down and kissed her forehead, "Chuchu, fortunately, I still have you."
Su Hanchu, who was in a daze, put her arms around his waist and continued to sleep in his arms.
In the following days, because of the incident of Zhang Dazhuang, a notice was posted at the county government office, which made the cause and course of the incident clear. Yue Manting became even more famous because of the last incident, and his business became more prosperous as a blessing in disguise.
Su Hanchu asked Ping'er to buy a few more maids, and asked Qiu Kui and Liu Ling to teach them how to cook personally. He planned to open another Yuemanting restaurant in the county after the business in the town stabilized.
On the other hand, at the Fang family's side, Fang Zhitong's injuries became more and more serious. They invited several doctors, but in the end, no medicine could cure him. The wounds on his back became festered, and he became decadent and irritable. The maids serving in the house were replaced one after another, and two of them were even beaten and sold off.
Aka also came back to visit with Fang Zhiyao and found an excuse to talk to Fang Zhitong alone.
Fang Zhitong looked at Aka who finally appeared, and endured the pain in his back.
"Brother-in-law, you have to save me. I can only count on you now."
Aka looked helpless after hearing this.
"I've tried my best and helped find several doctors, but they were all helpless against your injury. There's something wrong with your injury. It was common for me to get injured or punished during training.
As long as you apply the best medicine, you will be back to full health in a few days. You are in such a state now, I am afraid someone has done something to your injury."
Fang Zhitong reacted immediately after hearing it.
"Yes, it must be."
Jun Moye's figure suddenly appeared in my mind.
"It must be Jun Moye, my brother-in-law. He must have avenged me. It must have been him. Apart from him, no one else has any grudge against me. And he is the only one who could have drugged me so elusively."
A-Ka looked at the wound on his back. A lot of the flesh was rotten and gave off an unpleasant stench. He couldn't help but frown, then spoke calmly.
"You should get some rest first. I'll go find a doctor with better medical skills. Since he was drugged, there should be an antidote as long as it's not a terminal poison."
Fang Zhitong spoke with gratitude after hearing this.
"Brother-in-law, I'll trouble you. Don't worry, when I get better, I will do my best to help you and that master. Even though I was beaten this time, I didn't involve our Yuelai Tower. When you meet that master, you must say a few good words for me. I just had an unexpected failure. Later, I will definitely find a way to shut down Yue Manting."
A-Ka just nodded slightly after hearing this.
"I will. You should take good care of yourself first. Yaoyao is already pregnant. You can become your uncle after you recover."
After hearing this, Fang Zhitong, who had been frowning for half a month, finally showed a hint of joy.
"Yaoyao is pregnant, that's great. Congratulations, brother-in-law. I must work hard to get better and prepare a gift for my nephew."
Aka nodded.
"I'm sure you'll get better. I won't disturb you from resting, big brother."
The King's Mansion.
Su Hanchu was drinking tea leisurely.
Looking at Su Hanzhi, who had become much more mature and steady, Su Hanchu's face was full of smiles.
"Hanzhi, I feel like you've changed."
Su Hanchu spoke with a smile while holding the teacup.
"I've been out and about for half a month and have gained a lot of experience. Sister, I've already made arrangements with the vegetable shops in several nearby towns. I just need to arrange for someone to bring the mushrooms to the shops every day."
Su Hanchu smiled when he heard this.
"Hanzhi is really amazing. Sister was right about her."
Su Hanzhi received affirmation, and her eyes were filled with joy.
"That's because you taught me well, sister."
Su Hanchu pondered for a moment, tapping the table with his index finger.
"Now that everything has been agreed upon, the next issue is transportation. To ensure the freshness of our mushrooms, they must be delivered to the vegetable shops in each town at dawn. So, Hanzhi, the external expansion will be put on hold for the time being.
From now on, Ping'er and Liu Shan will stay by your side. You go find a coachman with good carriage driving skills, make sure there is a coachman in every town, and then sign a contract to sell your bodies.
First, you should take each driver to familiarize themselves with the vegetable shops in each town, to ensure that the team can deliver mushrooms and settle accounts on their own in the future. You can also buy two clever maids to assist you.
Su Hanzhi spoke nervously after hearing this.
"Sister, are you going to give me full authority?"
