In a short time, calls were made from Jingshan County, mostly to two places: the Northwest Military Region and Beijing.
Soon, calls came back to Jingshan County from the Northwest Military Region and Beijing.
The Northwest Military Region's attitude was very clear: they would spare no effort to save Xu Ningyan.
Have the people here prepare to escort Xu Ningyan to the capital at any time.
As for the call from Beijing, it was Dean Qi who answered. A young, cold, and sharp voice said, "Do your best to control the spread of the toxin. In two days, someone will come from Beijing to Jingshan County to pick up the person and take them to Beijing for treatment!"
"Someone from the First Military Hospital of Beijing will call you shortly to explain the key points of nursing care and the equipment that needs to be prepared. Please cooperate!"
Although Dean Qi knew the person on the other end of the phone couldn't see him, he couldn't help but listen and nod along.
I breathed a sigh of relief. If we just held on for two more days, this great Buddha and his living ancestor would be taken away!
Then Yu Changlin also received a notification from the Northwest Military Region that two days later, someone would come from Beijing to pick up Xu Ningyan and take her to Beijing, and that they should cooperate with the work.
Additionally, personnel from Unit X in Beijing will arrive in Jingshan County two days later to assist them in investigating Xu Ningyan's poisoning.
If it weren't for the high cost of phone calls, Yu Changlin would probably have been severely scolded.
That's it. The person on the other end of the phone said that this whole thing was their fault, and that they'd be in for a world of hurt when they got back!
Yu Changlin was already mentally prepared to face disciplinary action after this incident.
They might even have to take off their military uniforms!
However, he didn't complain at all, after all, there were two lives at stake!
Aunt Xie is one thing, but if something happens to Xu Ningyan, they won't be able to get over it themselves, even without the military's punishment.
Hearing that someone from the capital would be coming to take Xu Ningyan away for treatment in two days, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
It's good that Xu Ningyan is alright! It's good that she's alright!
Sure enough, not long after, the First Military Hospital of Beijing called. They first inquired about Xu Ningyan's condition, and then it seemed that a group of people gathered there for a consultation. After discussing for a while, they finally came up with a nursing plan.
That means we shouldn't touch Xu Ningyan!
Since the silver needles have protected the heart meridian and there are life-saving pills, there is no need to do anything unnecessary, lest the balance be disrupted.
Of course, I didn't forget to remind them that the sweet soup and snacks must be brought to the capital for testing.
After all that hustle and bustle, everyone relaxed a little.
At least Xu Ningyan's condition is stable for now, as long as we ensure she doesn't have any more problems!
All we can do is wait!
The waiting time was long and agonizing.
That night, neither those inside nor outside the ward closed their eyes.
Meanwhile, the Unity Brigade was already surrounded in the middle of the night.
When I woke up at daybreak, I was planning to go to work, but I was also thinking about what happened yesterday and wondering how it went.
Unexpectedly, they soon heard the announcement from the brigade headquarters loudspeaker. It was the brigade commander's voice, ordering everyone to stay home and be led by brigade officers and PLA soldiers to conduct door-to-door inquiries and searches.
Xu Changfeng's home.
Aunt Xie's house remained as it was. Xiong Mingxia was locked up alone in the main room, while the other two of Xu Changfeng's cousins were tied up and left in the yard.
They hadn't eaten or drunk anything all night, and the two were terrified. Their pants, which had been wet with urine, had dried, and they were starving. No one paid any attention to them.
The two were filled with deep regret. If they had known they would be involved in murder, they would not have been greedy for the benefits.
It's too late to regret it now.
After the People's Liberation Army took over the Unity Brigade, Xiong Mingxia and several others were taken away.
The experienced soldiers searched the Xu family's residence almost inch by inch.
They found quite a few things and laid them out on the table in the yard for Xiong Mingxia to identify.
Then, after everyone in the Unity Brigade gathered, they lined up and entered the brigade headquarters individually for questioning. After the questioning, they left through the back door.
Xu Changfeng's cousins' families, Xiong Mingxia's husband's family, and Xu Jinlai's entire family were also brought along. Anyone who had a bad relationship with Aunt Xie or had a grudge against Xu Ningyan was questioned again and again, and their ancestors for eighteen generations were thoroughly investigated.
Not to mention the people in the cowshed. The green corn cobs and fresh sweet potatoes seen at Xu Ningyan's house led to the people in the cowshed, and they were all questioned repeatedly.
Overnight, everyone in the Unity Brigade had no secrets left.
The suspect wasn't found, but several couples were identified as having affairs, reselling goods, petty theft, and harassing women.
These people were directly handed over to the public security authorities by the People's Liberation Army.
However, few useful clues were found.
The only useful discovery was that they found poison under Aunt Xie's fingernails, and it was in one hand but not in the other.
The hand that gave Xiong Mingxia the pastries was the one without the drug, while the hand that gave herself and Xu Ningyan the snacks was the one with the drug.
The poisoned brown sugar was also found. It was something Aunt Xie had bought and kept in her room at some point. Before, when there were many guests at home, there wasn't enough brown sugar to entertain them, so Aunt Xie hadn't taken it out.
It was only after hearing that people from the Northwest Military Region had gone to find Xu Ningyan that Aunt Xie took it out and asked Xiong Mingxia to put it away so that she could take it out to entertain Xu Ningyan.
Aunt Xie's background, including her ancestors for eight generations, was thoroughly investigated.
When she was five or six years old, she was abducted and sold to the Xiong family in the next brigade to be a child bride. After she grew up, she married Xiong Baishu, the eldest son of the Xiong family, and had a son and a daughter.
The Xiong family had produced doctors in their ancestors, but their descendants failed to inherit this talent and the family declined.
The family's descendants all farmed, and none of them studied medicine. They did leave behind a few medical books, but unfortunately no one reads them. They are just kept as ancestral relics as a memento.
By the time it came to Xiong Baishu's generation, he was in poor health and unable to work in the fields. It is said that he enjoyed reading medical books when he was young.
However, he didn't really learn anything useful. He never treated anyone, and he died young.
Aunt Xie, on the other hand, followed along and learned the skills of midwifery, and also learned to recognize a few kinds of herbs.
After Xiong Baishu died, Aunt Xie, a widow with two children, made a living by delivering babies and digging up and selling medicinal herbs.
It was because she went up the mountain to dig for medicinal herbs that she met Uncle Xu, who had been married before but had no children for many years, which caused him great distress.
After getting to know Aunt Xie, seeing how hard she, a widow, was raising two children, I felt that Aunt Xie was good at bearing children.
He then had a change of heart and was willing to give all the family's wealth to his first wife in order to divorce her and marry Aunt Xie.
Aunt Xie remarried Uncle Xu. The Xiong family agreed to her remarriage, but they did not agree to her taking her two children with her. They only agreed to let her take her youngest daughter, Xiong Mingxia.
Xiong Mingguang stayed with the Xiong family.
