Chapter 145: Desperate

Qin Chi's eyes moved around her, "Going there specially to save someone?"

"Well, you've heard of him, too."

Song Jin was not surprised that he knew his whereabouts. "It's the old man Liu who knows how to prepare aconite."

Qin Chi's eyes lit up, "He's in Yi County?"

"It's a grandfather and grandson. The situation is not good."

Song Jin went to rescue people this time. He thought it was only Old Man Liu, but he didn't expect there was a child with him. This child didn't exist in his previous life, and the old man never mentioned him.

It is very likely that the child did not survive this winter.

The two went into the house while talking.

The room was much warmer than outside because of the charcoal stove burning in it.

"The last time the imperial physician mentioned Mr. Liu, I sent a carrier pigeon to Nancheng County to check on this person." Qin Chi said this, causing Song Jin to pause.

Song Jin glanced at him and said, "Go on."

"Aren't you aware of his situation?" Qin Chi knew that Song Jin had some useful people in his hands.

You saved the person on purpose, but you don’t know his background?

To be honest, Song Jin really didn't know.

In his previous life, the old man was taciturn and never mentioned his past, so Song Jin had no way to find out. It was only in this life that he heard a few words from Qin Chi.

Qin Chi sat down next to the charcoal stove, took out the warm ginseng tea, and pushed it to Song Jin. "Liu Weng is just a respectful title. This man is Liu Qiyou, a well-known local pharmacist with superb skills in preparing medicinal materials. Most of the medicinal materials in his hands have good efficacy. I originally wanted to invite him to Huizhou..."

Naturally, this request was not accepted.

Last year, Mr. Liu's family was robbed by bandits. Only Mr. Liu and his little grandson were left dead. Later, I heard that the grandfather and grandson were also missing and their whereabouts were unknown.

The people who went to investigate sent a message back to Qin Chi, saying that the so-called bandits were very suspicious and killed people too quickly and efficiently, with each killing with a single blow.

This could very well be a murder.

Rather than being unlucky and encountering bandits.

Qin Chi told Song Jin about these suspicions.

Song Jin looked solemn.

Thinking about the time when the Liu family had an accident, Song Jin couldn't help but mutter: "This is almost the same as what happened to my family... It's the same year, the same month."

Qin Chi suddenly looked up, "What did you just say?"

"I said something happened to the Liu family, and it happened at about the same time as my family--" Song Jin stopped talking halfway through.

The two wondered if there was any connection between the two.

Qin Chi pondered for a moment and said, "You know, the people behind the scenes who targeted the Song family are probably targeting the Song family's craftsmanship. The same is true for the Liu family."

"They really came for Old Liu. It's impossible that they killed everyone. If it were me, and my family was killed, I would rather die than help the evildoer."

Song Jin thought about the differences between the Song and Liu families.

The Song family members were missing, and the Liu family only had one old and one young person dead.

Qin Chi was keen enough to notice the problem. "The problems of the two families are different. The Song family has many people who know the craft, but the Liu family only has Liu Qiyu who is good at it. As long as we keep a grandson to contain him, I don't think he will dare to resist."

But some unknown accident happened along the way, causing the grandfather and grandson to escape.

Nancheng County is not close to Huizhou.

Qin Chi continued, "This is just my guess. I will tell you whether it is true or not after I investigate."

Qin Chi recruited his subordinates and asked them to investigate the Liu family's case and check whether there were similar cases of disappearances across the country.

There are one, two, and maybe three.

Those people were so ruthless back then that they almost killed Old Huo.

The power in Qin Chi's hands now, when it was handed over to Helian Pu, is no longer what it used to be.

As soon as the old man and the young boy in the pharmacy recovered from their illness, Qin Chi and Song Jin came to visit them.

Liu Qiyu looked at this outstanding young couple with surprise in his eyes.

In this small place, there are such outstanding people, and two of them at once. When Liu Qiyu learned that Qin Chi and Song Jin were a couple, he was moved again.

"You two are truly like gods."

Liu Qiyou stood up and saluted the two men, then pulled his grandson over and asked him to kowtow to Song Jin, "Xiaodouzi, this is your lifesaver, you must remember this. We are incapable and may not be able to repay you, but we must not forget your kindness."

For big people, showing favor is just a piece of cake.

Asking them to repay the favor is just lip service, as the actual need for them is very small.

There is nothing wrong with Liu Qiyu's way of educating children.

It just sounds weird.

Song Jin was very happy to see that the old man was much more cheerful than in his previous life. His eyes couldn't help but fall on the little kid in front of him. When he heard his grandfather's words, he staggered to Song Jin.

He knelt down foolishly and kowtowed deeply.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Song Jin was so scared that he quickly bent down and picked up the little kid. "Why are you so honest? Look at your forehead, it's all red from the bump!"

"Thanks!"

Little Douding is two years old and can't speak fluently.

Song Jin held Xiao Douzi in his arms, sat aside, and let him sit on his lap. "I came here today because I have something to ask Mr. Liu."

As soon as these words came out.

Liu Qiyu's expression changed, and when he looked at Song Jin again, his eyes became alert.

But soon, he returned to normal.

The vigilance in his eyes was gone, but he was still very confused, "Do you two know who I am?"

"After rescuing you, of course I have to investigate your background." Qin Chi motioned Liu Qiyu to sit down and continue talking.

Song Jin and Qin Chi's attitudes were frank, which made it easy for people to let down their guard.

Liu Qiyu did not regard the two men as the people who were chasing them behind the scenes. It was precisely because they were the ones who rescued the two men. Without their help, Xiaodouzi might not have survived this time.

This is a real life-saving grace.

Qin Chi gave the old man enough time to think.

Liu Qiyu is several decades older than Qin Chi, so he has some ability to judge people. "Do you have any questions?"

"I just want to ask, who is behind this and wants to kill you?" Qin Chi went straight to the point.

Liu Qiyou was grief-stricken when he heard this. "I didn't know. Those people are so cruel and crazy that they kill anyone they see."

The old man remembered something, his lips trembled, and tears welled up in his eyes.

Seeing this, Song Jin turned sideways, picked up a cake beside him, gave a piece to Xiao Douzi, and called Lou Ruhan to take him to the next room to play. There are some things that children should not listen to.

Liu Qiyou wiped away his tears and looked at Song Jin with gratitude. "Those people wanted me to work for them, but I didn't want to go. So they deliberately spared Xiao Douzi's life, saying that they would kill him if I didn't obey..."

Those people took the grandfather and grandson away.

Stayed overnight in a forest.

Liu Qiyu is an experienced pharmacist who not only knows how to prepare medicines, but is also good at using them.

He secretly picked some herbs in the woods, drugged his enemies and then killed them all. Then he brought Xiaodouzi and hid to Yi County.

"I killed those guys, but there are still people looking for us."

This is enough to prove that that group of people are not simple.

Qin Chi and Song Jin looked at each other.

Sure enough, I came here for Liu Qiyu's craftsmanship.
