Chapter 217: The Man Behind the Scenes



The old man in white stepped forward and said, "My medical skills are limited. If I have offended you, please forgive me."

Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this: "You are too modest. With the recommendation of Lord Zhang, I believe his medical skills must be very good." She looked at He Jingheng: "He has consulted many doctors for his leg, but they always give the same answer. It has been so long, and we no longer have any hope. If you can cure it, you will be a hero of our He family."

Hearing Shang Ruoyi say this, Zhang Wenyu couldn't help but think, could it be that his leg is really useless?

The old man in white stepped forward and bowed to He Jingheng again. Everyone knew what an outstanding man the prince of Dingguo Palace was. Someone once described him as: riding a horse leaning on the slanting bridge, with red sleeves waving in the building.

A graceful young man, once the object of admiration of many noble ladies in the capital?

Now it has ended up in such a miserable situation.

It's really sad.

The old man in white looked at his leg carefully. After a while, he sighed and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid your leg will never recover."

Zhang Wenyu heard this and a look of understanding flashed across his eyes. It seemed that He Jingheng's leg had not recovered at all. Maybe someone was talking nonsense and deliberately creating panic. In this case, there was no need to worry about him in the future.

Shang Ruoyi looked at the changing expressions on his face and understood.

I remembered the news I saw in the Yangxin Palace before.

Who is it? Who is watching them secretly?

Zhang Wenyu cupped his hands and said, "I'm really sorry that I can't help you."

"Master Zhang, you are thinking of us, and I am very grateful. The recovery is within our expectations." Shang Ruoyi smiled with a hint of sarcasm on her face: "This is not the most important thing. There is one thing I want to ask you, Master."

"What is it?"

"We encountered thieves in our house yesterday. There was such a big commotion, but no one from the government came to support us. Does Lord Zhang know about this?"

Zhang Wenyu had a very surprised expression on his face. He had known that Shang Ruoyi would ask this question.

When the Beiling people entered the Shun territory, they got the news, and also received the gold, silver and jewelry they handed over. Their target was the He family, and the He family was a thorn in the emperor's eyes and a thorn in his flesh. He wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible, but there was no suitable crime to eradicate them all.

Now that someone is willing to catch them all in one fell swoop, he is naturally willing to do them a favor.

Yesterday the sun shone and the earth shook, how could they not know?

He deliberately did not come to support, not only that, he also detained the official who had originally proposed to support the newly appointed official in the government office.

I had originally planned to collect their bodies the next day, but I didn't expect them to survive such a fierce battle. Instead, the brave and combative Beiling soldiers were beaten back.

Zhang Wenyu had no idea that the Beiling soldiers were not defeated but were all buried here.

"To be honest, these Japanese officers are still ill. If they hadn't received the report from the face-to-face person late at night, they would not have known that such a dangerous incident had occurred."

Shang Ruoyi knew that this was just his excuse.

"Fortunately, nothing serious happened, but those bandits were armed. If we hadn't fought back, we would have lost our lives." Shang Ruoyi had a frightened look on her face. He Jingheng couldn't help but find it funny. She was talking nonsense in a serious manner. I'm afraid she couldn't do it.

That weapon turned out to be Beiling!

If Helan Yun were here, he would definitely curse loudly. If Beiling had so many weapons, it would have swallowed up other countries long ago. Why would it wait until now?

It's true that when you want to accuse someone, you can always find a pretext.

Zhang Wenyu was shocked. This was the first thing he wanted to ask today.

The weapon crisis is undoubtedly huge. Every country wants to mass-produce weapons, but no country has succeeded. Now Beiling has actually made so many weapons first. If we don't take precautions, there will be endless troubles.

However, the He family, which won among so many weapons, seems to be more feared than Beiling.

Zhang Wenyu came in a hurry and left in a hurry with the doctor.

Seeing this, He Jingheng couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Today I have seen what it means to be eloquent and to confuse right and wrong."

Shang Ruoyi raised her head, her face full of satisfaction. She smiled and said, "What's that? I even gave him a big gift." Who made him come to disturb her sweet dream so early? I was just slightly punished.

On the way back, Zhang Wenyu suddenly felt unwell, his abdomen felt like it was being stabbed by a knife, and beads of sweat slid down his forehead. The old man in white who was taken to the He family by him saw this and hurriedly checked his pulse. After a while, the old man frowned and said, "My lord, you have a stomachache."

Did you get sick from eating? How can this be?

Before he could think about it, an even stronger pain came over him, and he felt like something was about to come out of his body.

A moment later, there was a loud noise, and the old man in white came out of the carriage in a panic, covering his nose, looking at the carriage in shock.

Such a stinking fart was the best he had ever seen in his life.

After hearing the report from her subordinates, Shang Ruoyi smiled coldly. It was what she deserved. She had almost lost face already. This was the consequence of disturbing her sweet dream.

Zhang Wenyu became famous because of this fart, and people would mention this incident when talking about the Imperial Envoy of Qingzhou.

In a house on the edge of the county town, Ling Feng looked fiercely at Qian Jinnian who was standing opposite him.

"You did it?"

Qian Jinnian lowered his eyes and said nothing.

"I'm asking you."

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice: "How dare you mobilize the death squad without my permission? What crime should you be punished for?"

The group of people with extremely high martial arts skills who robbed and killed Liu Qin on the road that day were sent by Qian Jinnian.

Qian Jinnian's drooping eyelids slightly lifted, and there was no turbidity or chaos in his old eyes. After a while, he whispered: "My Lord, have you forgotten what we are doing? We have persisted until today just to see the destruction of the Dingguo Palace. With such a good opportunity, my Lord, you didn't take action. Is it because of the benevolence and morality you mentioned, or is there another reason?"

He looked at Ling Feng, with a hint of inquiry in his eyes.

"Is there another reason?" Ling Feng sneered: "What do you think the reason is?"

"The young lady from the He family." Qian Jinnian whispered, "Maybe the master has other thoughts about her."

Ling Feng's pupils shrank slightly, and he could not help but angrily said: "Do you think I would have feelings for my genocide enemy?"

Qian Jinnian said nothing, he had watched his master grow up, he knew his character very well, if he didn't care, he would definitely not be so reluctant to take action.

If it wasn't the young lady from the He family, could it be the imperial concubine?

"I know you are anxious to seek revenge, but if you act without my permission, don't blame me for disregarding the years of relationship between master and servant."

After saying this, he turned and left.

Qian Jinnian narrowed his eyes, clenched his fists, and murmured, "Master, since you can't make up your mind, I will help you."

After a while, no one came to trouble the He family again. After He Yunyi was injured, she had been at home, and the shop in the county town was left to Shang Ruoyi to manage.
