Chapter 197 A Restless Night



Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing's face froze, and she couldn't help but ask, "Chen Guduan? Can you check to see how he died?"

Mo Qiu replied, "There were strangulation marks on Chen Guduan's neck, which looked like suicide. However, the Imperial Hospital's Chief Physician Fang said it was murder!

When I returned, Lord He had already sent for a coroner to perform an autopsy!"

Upon hearing this, Si Jinxing nodded slightly. As the imperial physician was the head of the hospital, his medical skills were naturally quite good.

I guess he saw something from Chen Guduan's body.

However, when He Wenqin was drugged in Yunyang County, this court judge didn’t notice anything unusual?

She frowned slightly, feeling that this imperial physician was a little strange!

Just at this moment, Bai Xi walked quickly into the yard.

He came closer with a gust of autumn wind, clasped his fists and saluted, saying:

"Princess, it's done. The man has been tied up in the woodshed in the front yard."

Si Jinxing nodded and said:

"Well, these people never give up until they see the Yellow River. Only when they have a brush with the King of Hell will they know how to be afraid.

Take advantage of their current mental breakdown and interrogate them overnight!"

Si Jinxing looked at Mo Qiu again and said:

"I'll go to the posthouse later. You go ahead and tell someone to keep an eye on Chen Guduan's body. Don't let anyone tamper with it!"

Bai Xi and Mo Qiu left and went about their business.

Seeing this, Gu Anxu hurriedly said, "County Lady, if you need me, please send me orders!"

Si Jinxing turned her head to look and asked:

"Now that you know my identity, I think you also know the purpose of my trip north with the Imperial Envoy.

You have seen with your own eyes that both the Imperial Envoy and I were secretly plotting against each other.

Uncle Gu, aren't you afraid of being implicated?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Anxu immediately lifted up his robe, knelt on the ground, and said sincerely:

"County Lady, I, Gu, have long said that you can heal my daughter's face. Not only will you save my daughter, but you will also save my wife, and even more so, you will free me from eight years of suffering!"

Four generations of my Gu family have been plagued by this disease for years, and now we finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, all thanks to the county lady!

Now, I have no other request but to repay the county lady for her kindness to my Gu family!

Why would you be afraid of being implicated?"

Si Jinxing stood up, gave Gu Anxu a helping hand, and said:

"Uncle Gu, you're too kind. As doctors, you and I are able to alleviate patients' pain, which is naturally our honor!

But you reminded me.

I have something I want you to do, would you be willing to do it?"

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Anxu immediately asked, "Please give me your orders, County Master!"

Si Jinxing turned his gaze towards the north and said:

“The victims in the city are still relatively healthy, but the people in the northern suburbs are in urgent need of rescue.

Tonight I will discuss with Lord He and send doctors to provide treatment as soon as possible. However, there are many people who need treatment. Are you willing to go and provide support?

Of course, the epidemic is controllable! There is no need to worry about your safety."

Upon hearing this, Gu Anxu immediately said solemnly:

"Gu has been around Xuzhou a lot and has some affection for the city. Now that the people of Xuzhou need him, I naturally have no choice but to accept his request!"

Si Jinxing nodded and said, "Okay, then you'll come with me."

After hearing this, Gu An said goodbye and left in high spirits!

Si Jinxing took Qingchan and headed towards the inn.

At the same time, in the Jia Mansion, Chunfang Courtyard.

Jia Wensheng had just finished a workout and was lying on the bed with his arms and legs spread out, a shy woman in his arms.

He was dozing off when he suddenly heard a hurried knock on the door.

Jia Wensheng suddenly opened his eyes and was about to turn over and get out of bed.

The woman in the peach pink bellyband reached out and hugged his waist, saying in a tender voice:

"Master, it's already evening. Is there anything that can't be discussed tomorrow?"

Jia Wensheng touched the delicate and boneless little hand, and took the opportunity to pinch the woman's chest, saying with a smile:

"Wait till I'm done with my work, then I'll come back and deal with you!"

After he finished speaking, he put on his clothes casually and strode out of the room.

The person standing outside the door was Master Huang.

Jia Wensheng asked unhappily, "What happened?"

While Mr. Huang was helping Jia Wensheng put on his clothes, he reported:

"Master, there's something wrong in the yamen prison!"

Jia Wensheng was walking towards the study with Mr. Huang. When he heard this, he suddenly stopped and turned around to ask:

"What happened? Could it be those killers?"

Master Huang nodded and said worriedly:

"That's right!

The cell where those people were imprisoned caught fire, and our people were about to take advantage of the chaos to get rid of them.

But unexpectedly, four men in black appeared out of nowhere and rescued the three people in the midst of fire! "

After hearing this, Jia Wensheng's face instantly darkened!

Those people who pretended to be ordinary people and were causing trouble were the killers he hired from the Red Gang at a huge price to kill He Wenqin.

He was afraid that someone among these people would leak the news, so he thought that only the dead could speak the most honest words!

Who are those men in black who saved people?

Jia Wensheng frowned. He Wenqin was too busy protecting himself to take care of this side.

Are they the people from the Red Gang?

The Red Gang is a killer organization, and all they do is buy lives for money!

In Longyin, it has strongholds in many prefectures and cities, and its power is so great that even the imperial court dares not touch it at will!

Jia Wensheng had cooperated with the Red Gang's Xuzhou base many times before, and the cooperation was quite pleasant.

Only this time...it involves the Imperial Commissioner.
