Chapter 383: Li Nuo, the scheming man
Jinyang Wang Family.
Two bodies were neatly laid out in a yard.
"Shuo'er!"
"My son!"
A woman dressed in silk sat slumped in front of a corpse, her hair shaking with tears.
Upon hearing the news, the head of the Wang family rushed over. When he saw the bodies of the two young men, his face darkened and he asked, "What happened?"
Although Wang Shuo is not a direct descendant of the Wang family, he is also a member of the Wang family. He was still alive and kicking in the morning, but now he has turned into a cold corpse. He must track him down.
Not only Wang Shuo, but even the son of the Bingzhou governor died. It was hard for him not to suspect that someone was targeting the Wang family.
However, after listening to everyone's explanation, his expression was a little stunned.
Wang Shuo suddenly died while drinking?
The son of the governor of Bingzhou was hit and killed in the street by a speeding carriage when he went to ask for a doctor.
He thought it was intentional, but it turned out to be an accident.
A woman stood behind him, lowered her head and said, "Dad, this really can't be blamed on me. Our carriage was driving on the lane, and he suddenly crossed over and was hit to death. He didn't obey traffic rules!"
Wang Yun rubbed his eyebrows. The person who hit and killed the son of the Bingzhou governor was actually his own daughter.
He looked at the driver and asked, "Wang Fu, what's going on?"
The driver immediately said, "Master, what the young lady said is correct. This time it was really the son of Governor Lu who disobeyed the road rules first. We were driving on the street peacefully, and he suddenly crossed the road..."
Lu Xiu's death seemed to be just an accident.
Wang Yun looked at those people again and asked, "What's going on with Wang Shuo?"
Several young men shuddered and told the whole story.
Li Nuo came to Bingzhou for inspection. All of them had lawsuits to some extent, so in order to avoid disaster, they all hid in the Wang family.
Li Nuo had no way to deal with the Wang family, so he left Bingzhou like a stray dog.
To celebrate, they met up for a banquet in a restaurant. Who would have thought that after Wang Shuo drank a glass of wine, he suddenly fell to the ground holding his chest, and Lu Xiu went to find a doctor, but was hit and killed by a carriage... Why did they encounter so many bad luck?
Soon, several doctors from the Wang family were summoned.
After examining Wang Shuo's body, several doctors at the fourth level ruled out the possibility of death from poisoning.
Wang Yun frowned and asked, "Are you sure it's not poisoned?"
An old man carrying a medicine box said, "Reporting to the master, there is no toxin left in Master Wang Shuo's body, so he did not die of poisoning."
Wang Yun asked: "He was healthy and well, why did he die suddenly?"
The old man said, "There are many reasons for sudden death. Overwork, extreme joy or extreme sorrow... all can lead to sudden death. There are also many sudden deaths with unknown causes, which doctors still cannot explain."
All the evidence showed that the deaths of these two people were just accidents, and there was no need for Wang Yun to pursue the matter further.
Although the Wang family is powerful, they will not allow anyone to bully the children of the Wang family.
But Wang Shuo died unexpectedly, so it was impossible for him to trouble God.
He looked at the sad woman, sighed softly, and said: "Life is unpredictable, please accept my condolences, and don't hurt yourself by crying. The family will arrange Wang Shuo's funeral for him..."
Then, he looked at the other body and said, "Go to the government office to report the death to Governor Lu."
…
When Bingzhou Governor Lu Hua rushed to Wang's house and saw his son's cold body, his eyes went dark and he had to hold on to the door frame to stand firm.
He sent his son to the Wang family to avoid disaster.
Unexpectedly, I escaped the man-made disaster but not the car accident.
In order to expand his music hall, his son sent someone to drive a car and killed the owner of the shop next door to the music hall. He ordered the lawyer to suppress the case and closed it as an accident. He compensated the family with some silver and did not even punish the driver who killed the person.
At that time, Governor Lu would never have thought that two years later, he would die for the same reason.
He still hasn't dealt with the person who caused the accident.
It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t.
The Bingzhou governor was a fourth-rank official, nominally the chief official of a state, but in fact he knew better than anyone that he was just a dog of the Wang family. The Wang family could let him sit in this position or someone else.
A young woman looked at him and said, "Sir Lu, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
Governor Lu put away his sadness, forced a smile on his face, and said to the woman: "Miss, please don't say that. The official has already understood the situation. It was Lu Xiu who made the mistake first. I'm glad that Miss was not frightened..."
Not only could he not blame the person who killed his son, he also had to comfort her.
The young woman symbolically apologized to Governor Lu and left.
Governor Lu stood in front of his son's body for a long time in silence.
Is this retribution from heaven?
…
Although Wang Shuo was not the legitimate son of the Wang family, his sudden death still caused some discussion in Jinyang and even Bingzhou.
Some people began to believe that if they did all the evil things, they would be punished by heaven.
Especially the death of the son of the Bingzhou governor made some people who did not believe in God doubt whether there was really retribution from heaven.
Another incident that happened shortly afterwards shook many people and made them begin to examine the bad things they had done in their lives.
Before Wang Shuo's funeral was over, a usually arrogant and domineering young lady of the Wang family suddenly fell ill.
This young lady is the queen of Jinyang.
The court law stipulates that one must control the speed when driving in the city, but she has always disregarded this law, and many people have been injured in her accidents. As a result, when people see her carriage now, they will stay away from it.
The son of the Bingzhou governor was hit and killed by her carriage.
He was the governor of a state, a great man who was unattainable in the eyes of the common people. Even though his only son was hit and killed, he still did not dare to pursue the responsibility of Miss Wang even though he was in the right.
It was said that Miss Wang had contracted a strange disease that caused her skin to ulcerate all over her body, and even the doctors were helpless to treat it.
They tried every possible method and consumed countless precious medicinal herbs. Although they managed to curb her illness, her appearance was ruined.
The daughter of the royal family, who was famous for her beauty, could not accept this reality. She locked herself in her room and refused to see anyone...
It is said that at her request, the Wang family also took the initiative to cancel her marriage with another big family...
People's attention was attracted by the Wang family.
After dinner, other strange things would occasionally be talked about.
The son of a county magistrate in Bingzhou stayed in a brothel at night and ordered five women at a time. He died of a stroke on the body of a prostitute. A young man from a wealthy family in Jinyang who was closely related to the Wang family, his house collapsed while he was sleeping at night, burying him inside. When he was dug out, he was already dead...
…
Inside the Wang family.
"Xuanxuan, just eat something."
"If you keep going like this, you'll starve to death."
"I don't want to eat, I ...!"
"I'd rather starve to death than become so ugly in the future!"
There were sounds of tables and chairs falling over and porcelain breaking in the room. Wang Yun sighed deeply and asked the old man beside him, "Is it true that Xuanxuan's disease cannot be cured?"
The old man shook his head and said, "Please forgive my lack of skills. I have never seen the lady's illness before. I can only suppress it with my medical energy. The Medical Saint of Zhao has the fifth level of medical cultivation. The head of the family can take the lady to Zhao's Medicine King Valley for medical treatment..."
Wang Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Zhao State, that's too far away. Is there any place closer?"
The old man nodded and said, "Yes, yes. Li Nuo, the top scholar in six subjects, is also a doctor with unfathomable skills. He once cured a disease in Zhao State that even the Medical Saint was helpless to treat. If he can't do anything, then we really have no choice..."
Wang Yun knew Li Nuo's whereabouts very well.
He is now patrolling in Anzhou, which is adjacent to Bingzhou.
But asking Li Nuo to treat Xuan Xuan, regardless of whether Li Nuo is willing or not, the Wang family and the Li family have a life-and-death feud, so how could he possibly ask him?
While Wang Yun was hesitating, the anxious and panicked voice of the maid suddenly came from the room: "Master, it's bad, the young lady is going to hang herself!"
Bang!
Wang Yun opened the door with his palm and knocked his daughter unconscious. He then ordered the maid, "Watch over the young lady. Don't leave her alone for even a moment."
Several maids immediately bowed: "Yes, Master."
Wang Yun walked out of the room and took a deep breath.
Although he and Li Xuanjing had a grudge against each other for killing each other's sons and brothers, he still had to go to Anzhou this time.
His other wives and concubines were all arranged marriages through family arrangements. Only Xuanxuan's mother was the woman he truly loved. Although she came from an ordinary family, she was considerate and caring. He had tried his best to convince his family to marry her into the Wang family.
Unfortunately, she died early due to a terminal illness. Xuanxuan was their only daughter, and he was determined to save her no matter what the cost.
…
Anzhou.
Li Nuo had just finished hearing a case in court. The next person who walked in was not the citizen involved in the next case, but an unexpected person.
Li Nuo stood up from his chair and asked in surprise: "Master Wang, why are you here?"
Wang Yun stepped forward and said, "To be honest, I want to see Lord Li and ask for something."
Li Nuo politely pointed to a chair beside him and said, "Master Wang, please sit down and talk."
Wang Yun did not sit down, but said: "I heard that Lord Li is an excellent doctor. I wonder if Lord Li has heard of a strange disease..."
He told Li Nuo about his daughter's illness in detail. Li Nuo murmured, "The skin is all over the body. The doctor's Qi can alleviate it, but it can't cure it. It will leave ugly scars on the face and body..."
Wang Yun nodded, looked at him expectantly, and asked, "That's it, Lord Li, can this disease be cured?"
Li Nuo nodded and said, "Although it's a bit troublesome, it can be cured."
Wang Yun finally felt relieved.
My daughter cares a lot about her appearance. If this strange disease cannot be cured, she might really want to die.
He looked at Li Nuo and said, "Master Li, please come back to the Wang family with me. As long as you can cure Xuanxuan's illness, I will reward you handsomely!"
"Now?"
Li Nuo shook his head and said, "It's not possible now. I still have to inspect various states, investigate cases, and have no time to treat my illness. Patriarch Wang, don't worry. This disease is just a little painful, not life-threatening..."
The eldest daughter of the Wang family relied on her status as a noble family to act domineeringly, but when you look at it carefully, she didn't do anything too bad.
It was nothing more than repeatedly disobeying traffic rules and fleeing the scene of an accident. She didn't die suddenly, but was hit by a carriage or crushed to death by a collapsed house. Although Li Nuo couldn't sentence her, he had to let her suffer a little.
Wang Yun naturally didn't want his daughter to suffer, so he said, "Lord Li, just name your price. As long as Xuanxuan can be cured, the reward will satisfy you."
Li Nuo shook his head again and said, "Money is something outside of one's body. I am not short of money. I can usually investigate cases, arrest some corrupt officials, and kill some unruly people, so that the people can suffer less oppression and suffer less..."
As the head of a noble family, how could Wang Yun not hear the hidden meaning in his words?
He immediately understood what Li Nuo meant. After a brief thought, he said, "Don't worry, Lord Li. Wang will not delay your practice. While you are treating my daughter, the Wang family will help you investigate corrupt officials and arrest unruly people. Although the Wang family has no other abilities, we can still help Lord Li with this little thing..."
Li Nuo was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and said: "I am so sorry..."
Wang Yun said: "This is all as it should be..."
After a moment.
Dongfang Xuan followed Li Nuo out of the provincial government office, shaking his head and sighing.
He finally understood why people had disliked strategists since ancient times.
These people have really dark hearts.
A thousand-year-old family was sold out by him, and we should still thank him!
A strategist plus a calligrapher is even more deadly...
…
Anzhou and Bingzhou are adjacent to each other. With the speed of two people in the fifth realm, Li Nuo arrived at Jinyang Wang's house again after less than half an hour.
This was his second time to come to the Wang family, but the situations were completely different each time.
Last time he came uninvited.
This time, it was the head of the Wang family who personally invited him in.
In a delicate courtyard somewhere in the Wang family's home, Wang Yun knocked on a door and said, "Xuanxuan, please open the door. Dad has found a miracle doctor for you. Can he cure your illness?"
"real?"
A questioning voice was heard in the room.
Wang Yun said: "It's true, please open the door."
The door opened, and a young woman, wrapped up tightly and wearing a veil on her head, stood behind the door. She looked around and asked, "Where is the miracle doctor?"
Wang Yun looked at the young man beside him and said, "He is it."
The woman looked over through the gap in the curtain, and the next moment she was furious: "Dad, you lied to me, he is so young, how could he be a miracle doctor!"
Wang Yun held her wrist and said, "Xuanxuan, you must believe in Dad. When has Dad ever lied to you? This miracle doctor is very capable. Let her take a look at you first. If it doesn't work, Dad will take you to Zhao State to find the Medical Saint of Zhao State..."
The woman was silent for a moment after hearing this, and finally nodded and said, "Okay then..."
Li Nuo looked at the head of the Wang family and said, "Bring me some paper and pen."
Wang Yun gave a look and someone quickly brought paper and pen. Li Nuo wrote down the prescription, and someone immediately got the medicine and boiled it according to Li Nuo's requirements.
Li Nuo pointed at the bowl of black medicine and said to the daughter of the Wang family, "Drink it."
Under the curtain, the woman frowned and said, "This medicine smells so bitter."
Wang Yun comforted her, saying, "Good medicine tastes bitter. Only by drinking it can your illness be cured."
For the sake of her beauty, the woman could only turn around, take off the curtain, hold the jade bowl, and drink it all in one gulp.
Seeing her drink it so quickly, Li Nuo admired her a little. Women can endure any hardship for the sake of beauty. This medicine is very expensive and has no effect, but it tastes extremely bitter and is unbearable for ordinary people.
She was able to finish a bowl of medicine without saying a word, and her strength changed Li Nuo's impression of her as a spoiled young lady.
Li Nuo continued: "Give me your hand."
The woman asked, "What?"
Li Nuo said: "Medicine is just an introduction. What is really useful is the fifth level of medical qi. Do you want to be treated? If not, I will go back..."
"want!"
The woman stretched out her hand without hesitation.
Her originally delicate and fair hands had been festered beyond recognition, and she herself could not bear to look at them. Li Nuo turned a blind eye to this, held her hands, and injected medical energy into her body. As the fifth realm medical energy entered her body, the festers on her palms, wrists, and arms healed visibly.
“It’s true!”
Seeing this, the woman screamed in excitement.
Wang Yun took a long breath and said to Li Nuo, "Thank you, Lord Li, for saving my daughter. Lord Li, please let me know what you want and I will definitely satisfy you."
Li Nuo looked at him and said, "I'll leave my Fa family's cultivation matters to the Wang family."
Wang Yun said: "This is what I promised Lord Li. Lord Li has any other requests, you can also ask..."
Li Nuo thought for a moment and said, "In addition to investigating cases, I also like to publish books. It would be great if Patriarch Wang could help me get in touch with some bookstores..."
It is normal for scholars to want to write books and leave their names for posterity.
This was not a request at all. Wang Yun did not even think about it and said, "Okay, the Wang family's bookstores will be opened all over Daxia. Whatever books Lord Li wants to print, the Wang family will help you print them. All the proceeds from the sales of the books will go to Lord Li, and the Wang family will not take a penny..."
