"Dr. Tang seems very anxious," Song Rui said, puzzled.
As soon as Song Ning turned his head, he saw a group of soldiers approaching from a distance, surrounding the inn.
The one leading the group was actually Xie Linzhou.
Judging from Xie Linzhou's expression, something big must have happened. His face was gloomy, and he waved his hand lightly, and the soldiers outside all entered the inn.
The inn was guarded by soldiers, and unauthorized personnel were not allowed to approach.
After a while, the soldiers brought out several people. Xie Linzhou's brows were furrowed tightly, and his eyes were terrifyingly gloomy.
Zhang Ping came out and said seriously, "Young Master, the person is missing."
"Looking around here, they just went in, they haven't gone far."
"yes."
As soon as Xie Linzhou turned around, he met Song Ning's eyes. Song Ning was startled and quickly lowered the curtain and shrank back.
The Xie Linzhou she knew now was completely different from the one she knew.
That look in his eyes just now was the look of someone who was bloodthirsty and murderous.
She was so rude to him last time, she'll never do it again.
"Cousin, let's go quickly."
The mule cart arrived at Yong'an Hall, where Song Ning got off to inquire, and indeed Tang Xinghuai was not there.
Song Ning couldn't help but wonder, who exactly was Tang Xinghuai?
This happened twice already; even if she were slow-witted, she would have noticed something was wrong.
Last time, he was chased at the back gate of Yunxiufang. Today, as soon as he entered the inn, the soldiers arrived.
Could it be... that he is some kind of wanted criminal?
However, Tang Xinghuai usually went out openly and honestly, and did not look like a wanted criminal.
She clearly saw Tang Xinghuai enter the inn, but he wasn't among the people being escorted out.
Song Ning frowned. Thinking about it, she realized she really didn't understand Tang Xinghuai.
He never talked about himself. All she knew was that he was a doctor from a family that had practiced medicine for generations, but now all his family members were dead, leaving him all alone.
She didn't know anything else.
Looking back now, how many of those words were true?
If the person Xie Linzhou is looking for is indeed Tang Xinghuai, then... should she tell Xie Linzhou?
However, Tang Xinghuai had also helped her a lot, and if she told him, Tang Xinghuai would probably be dead.
Song Ning began to struggle with the decision.
Meanwhile, at the Xie residence.
Xie Linzhou returned to his residence, sat down at his desk, and looked grim.
Zhang Ping placed what he was holding on the table: "Young Master, these are the things we found on those people."
Several small bottles were placed on a tray. Xie Linzhou opened one and smelled it, but there was no smell.
"Have you checked too many of these?"
"It's been checked, and they said it's all just ordinary water."
Xie Linzhou looked up: "Ordinary water?"
"yes."
Why would a small bottle of ordinary water make those people so nervous?
Are you sure it hasn't been switched?
"No, I handled it myself. It was indeed found on those people."
"However, young master, there is one more thing."
"explain."
"One of the people we captured this time was someone I seriously injured last time. I remember he was already beyond saving, but now he has appeared unharmed."
Xie Linzhou frowned: "You mean, that person has recovered?"
"Yes, I checked, and there are no traces left even at the site of the original injury."
Xie Linzhou thought of something and handed the bottle in front of him to Zhang Ping: "Go, give these to the seriously injured brothers."
"This...Young Master, this thing is clearly abnormal. What if it's poison..."
Xie Linzhou raised the corners of his mouth: "Heh, poison? If it really were poison, those people wouldn't treasure it like this."
Zhang Ping took the things to the backyard, where several of his brothers were seriously injured, bleeding profusely, and on the verge of death.
Desperate measures, Zhang Ping followed instructions and fed the contents of the bottle to the people.
Xie Linzhou was working on his desk when Zhang Ping rushed in, calling out, "Young Master, Young Master!"
Zhang Ping entered the room, panting and excited: "Young Master... that... that thing isn't poison, it's... it's a miracle drug!"
"how?"
"As instructed by the young master, I gave the soldiers the contents of the bottle to drink, and the bleeding and pain were quickly stopped."
Xie Linzhou's eyes darkened; as expected.
Zhang Ping immediately showed concern: "Young Master, I'm afraid this is a serious matter. If those thieves get their hands on this, it will be even more difficult to deal with in the future."
If the enemy obtains the miraculous medicine, they can reduce casualties, which would be extremely disadvantageous to them.
Even Xie Linzhou was alarmed. Those rebels had actually obtained such a divine object. If this continued, things might not be good.
What alarmed them even more was that the next day, those who had drunk the water were able to walk.
Such a miraculous medicine had actually fallen into the hands of thieves, so we had to take it seriously.
Xie Linzhou immediately wrote a letter to the capital, saying that such things were not easy to obtain, and that if someone wanted to investigate, they could definitely find out.
Such things must be kept in the hands of the imperial court.
If Xie Linzhou knew that the owner of this divine medicine was currently scooping spring water and watering the land, he would probably vomit blood.
Yesterday, Song Ning bought several chickens and rabbits in Jiangning County. Last night, after everyone in the family had fallen asleep, she quietly entered her spatial dimension.
After putting the chickens and rabbits he had bought into his spatial storage, a voice suddenly sounded from above: "Well done, this space is very satisfied."
As soon as he finished speaking, the chickens and rabbits disappeared.
The truth came out: she really wasn't dreaming last time.
Once the space has small animals, I no longer pay attention to her.
The next day, Song Ning clearly felt more energetic and went to water the fields with water.
After lunch, Song Ning was thinking about Li Gongjiang and the others, so he waited at the door just past noon.
Instead of waiting for craftsman Li, they encountered Tang Xinghuai.
Tang Xinghuai's complexion was not good; his face was pale and his lips were bloodless.
"Dr. Tang, what's wrong?"
Tang Xinghuai shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little unwell."
Because of what happened yesterday, Song Ning is now not entirely able to believe what Tang Xinghuai says.
He asked tentatively, "Dr. Tang, I went to Jiangning County yesterday to look for you, but you weren't there. Where did you go?"
Tang Xinghuai's eyes darkened, and he smiled, "I happened to be out on a house call at that time."
I never noticed before that Tang Xinghuai's eyes were terrifyingly serious when he lied.
"Er Ya, I came back today to buy some more medicine from you. There's not much left of what you gave me last time."
In the past, Song Ning would have given it to him without hesitation, but now she dared not be so hasty.
"Dr. Tang, you said last time that I wasn't feeling well, so I haven't made that medicine since. It's just too mentally taxing. Since I stopped making that medicine, I've definitely felt much better."
Upon hearing this, Tang Xinghuai showed a disappointed expression, but did not speak again.
Song Ning's eyes flickered slightly. She had never thought about this issue before, but the more she thought about it, the more something seemed wrong. Every time she delivered spring water to Tang Xinghuai, she would take dozens of bottles at a time. Even if there were many patients in Yong'an Hall, these dozens of bottles could not be used up in half a month.
She suspected that Tang Xinghuai had taken her spring water but hadn't used it on the patients at the clinic.
