Chapter 83: Brother Xi Yan, help me
Sun Rulan covered his arm, his sleeve was covered in blood.
Ah Shijian's lips turned blue and he was unconscious.
The doctor quickly called for help and carried A Shijian into the shop.
The external injuries of both of them were not serious. When the doctor treated Sun Rulan's wound, the bleeding had stopped naturally.
As for A Shijian.
"Alas! You should seek help from someone else!" The doctor examined the patient, then sighed and shook his head, "I've never seen this poison before, and I don't know how to cure it.
The poison entered the body through the wound, so ordinary vomiting is useless."
**
The moon is at its zenith.
The night breeze is blowing.
The sound of horse hooves came from far away.
"Damn it, that damn robber, he didn't commit a crime earlier or later, but chose to do it when it was almost dark. He disturbed me from sleeping with my woman in my arms."
"If I catch him, I'll squeeze the shit out of him."
"I heard they're a pair of thieves, a male and a female. If we catch them, the boss will just sleep with the female one!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
As the voices were being spoken, two horse-drawn carts passed by on the official road not far away.
There were more than a dozen people sitting in the carriage.
Ying Zhilin hid behind a tree and observed carefully.
The moonlight is hazy and the distance is far.
Ying Zhilin couldn't see clearly the people's clothes and appearance.
However, judging from the styles of the hats they wore, they were probably runners from the county government.
I didn't expect the bailiffs to come so quickly.
Sun Rulan's identity is indeed not simple, otherwise it would be impossible for the yamen runners to handle the case so actively.
Afterwards, Ying Zhilin was even more alert, not missing a single sound.
really.
Half an hour later, the group of people walked back cursing.
But this time, they were much slower.
Only after they left did Ying Zhilin breathe a sigh of relief.
**
The morning light is dim.
Wen Yan felt a violent shaking.
She suddenly opened her eyes and saw a blurry figure.
Without thinking, she threw a punch.
"Ugh..." The other party groaned in pain.
"Ying Zhilin? Why don't you hide?" Wen Yan sat up.
Ying Zhilin covered his nose and said, "Who would have thought that I would get beaten for asking you to get up?"
Wen Yan laughed awkwardly twice and held his face to check: "Did you hit your nose? There's no nosebleed, right?"
It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.
Wen Yan got closer and closer and could already feel his breath.
It was about to hit his face.
Ying Zhilin held his breath, leaned back, and freed his head from her hands.
"No problem, I have something important to tell you."
Afterwards, Ying Zhilin told her what happened last night.
Wen Yan asked, "They didn't find us, did they?"
"Probably not. We didn't light a fire, and we didn't make any noise at the time."
"They might send someone out to investigate today. Let's set off now while it's still early, and get as far away from here as possible."
"That's what I meant." Ying Zhilin carried Wen Yan's bag and reached out to pull her.
When Wen Yan stood up, she found that Ying Zhilin's coat was draped over her.
**
The two of them were so focused on getting on with their journey that they walked very fast.
After walking for only half an hour, Wen Yan felt a little exhausted.
Ying Zhilin squatted in front of her: "Come up."
Wen Yan thought that her speed would slow down the two of them, so she gritted her teeth and lay down anyway.
Wen Yan wouldn't let him carry her on his back for too long.
Usually he carried her for a quarter of an hour, and she would get off and walk for two quarters of an hour by herself.
They walked in this cycle for another hour.
Sure enough, I saw two yamen runners sitting in a tea stall.
They drank tea, ate sunflower seeds, crossed their legs, and nonchalantly called out to passersby: "Come here, where are you from? What are you going to do?"
The bailiffs were investigating last night's 'assassin'.
Wen Yan and Ying Zhilin exchanged glances and whispered, "They're being very lazy in their investigation."
"I guess Sun Rulan has already left the county. They are just pretending to be well-informed so that they can get away with it."
At this time, Sun Rulan had indeed left the county town.
He hurried all the way to the capital.
Capital city.
Outside the main gate of General Meng's mansion.
Meng Xiyan stuffed two packets of snacks into Meng Chifei's bag and reminded him earnestly, "Today is the old concubine's birthday. She is usually the most serious and respectful of rules.
You should be quiet and eat preserved fruits and snacks when you are bored. Don't pay attention to those noble ladies who provoke you. Let's just be a turtle fairy today, okay?"
"puff……"
The servants and maids beside her couldn't help laughing at the "Turtle Fairy".
Meng Chifei rolled his eyes and said, "From now on, you can just call me Turtle Fairy. Oh, you can also call me Turtle God."
"Okay, okay, my Goddess Wang Bie, please let me rest for a while. It's been less than ten days since Wen Yan left, and you scared two daughters to tears at the banquet, hung two young masters from a tree branch, and tripped a lady. I've been saying sorry for the past few days and my lips are broken."
The servants and maids laughed even more openly.
Meng Chifei snorted twice: "They provoked me first."
"Then you can't do it. Do you know that I've given away quite a few gifts just to apologize these past few days?
If we sell it, it would be enough to feed the soldiers in the camp and open eight or ten shops for Wen Yan."
"So much!" Meng Chifei looked distressed. She clenched her fists and said, "Brother, don't worry. Even if it's for money, I will hold back today."
Meng Xiyan rolled his eyes like Meng Chifei, indicating that he didn't believe her.
He turned around and told Meng Sanmei to keep a close eye on her.
Right at this moment.
Then they heard the crisp sound of bells, and several carriages drove towards them quickly.
Meng Xiyan recognized the bell on the carriage at a glance.
He frowned immediately: "Why did the Sun family come directly to our house?"
Although the two families have a close relationship, we should follow the rules and send a visiting card first before visiting!
The carriage stopped and the curtain was raised.
Sun Rulan, dressed in a moon-white gown, got off the carriage with a sick look on his face.
"Brother Xi Yan, help!" He bowed deeply to Meng Chifei, which affected the wound on his arm, and he immediately let out a suppressed groan of pain.
Only then did Meng Xiyan discover that his moon-white sleeves were stained with blood.
"Brother Sun, how come you are injured?"
Sun Rulan then recounted the story of the assassination.
He embellished his account, describing how dangerous the assassination was and how they had narrowly escaped death.
After he finished speaking, he coughed a few times, showing how weak he was.
In addition, the wooden arrows that had not been removed from the carriage made people even more convinced.
"Brother Xi Yan, please help me summon the imperial physician. My skin wound is not serious, but my guard has been poisoned. I'm afraid ordinary doctors can't do anything."
"Okay, I'll go and invite you right away." Meng Xiyan handed his token to the butler and asked him to go and come back quickly.
The imperial physician has been found.
Sun Rulan saluted him again, "Brother Xiyan, this assassination attempt was made with my life in mind. Please help me identify the assassin."
Meng Xiyan originally wanted to say that for matters like investigating a case, one should report the case to Jingzhao Prefecture.
Considering the relationship between the two families, when he said this, it sounded like he was deliberately making excuses.
Thinking of his precious sister, who would soon marry him.
In order to give his sister confidence in her husband's family, he agreed.
He handed the matter over to Brother Chen Yi to investigate.
Then he comforted Sun Rulan: "Brother Chen Yi is the most powerful scout in my camp. He is the best at tracking down traces. Leave this matter to him. In less than two days, the truth will be revealed."
