Guozhou City, Xue Family.
In the meeting room.
Xue Hongyuan, the patriarch of the Xue family, sat on the main seat above, leaning forward, holding a dragon-headed cane tightly in both hands, with an obscure expression.
"Dad, who is the new imperial envoy? Why is there no news from the capital even though he has arrived in Guozhou?"
"That's good now. Not only did he capture Magistrate Wang, he also rescued Feng Liuyu."
"If you ask me, we should have killed Feng Liuyu earlier. It's all my brother's fault. He insisted that Feng Liuyu must not be killed, otherwise it would alert the emperor."
"Guozhou is far from the capital, and even if Feng Liuyu is highly regarded by the emperor, can we kill Feng Liuyu and the emperor come over to avenge him?"
The person who spoke was Xue Gang, the second young master of the Xue family, who now manages the Xue family's freight business.
This freight business included the secret trade of private salt.
Upon hearing this, Xue Pan, the eldest son of the Xue family, immediately stood up and retorted.
"Second brother, have you forgotten the news that Third Sister sent back? Feng Liuyu is a close minister of the Emperor. If we really kill him, our Xue family will definitely have endless troubles."
"If the drought in Guozhou is not handled properly, our Xue family may be implicated."
"Well, at this moment, what's the point of discussing the past?"
"Even though Feng Liuyu is awake, so what? He has no evidence against our Xue family, so there is nothing to be afraid of."
"No matter how powerful this new imperial envoy is, if he wants to cause trouble for our Xue family without any evidence, our Xue family is not to be trifled with."
"Has Fu Guozhong been dealt with?"
"Dad, don't worry. Before the imperial envoy's men went to interrogate Fu Guozhong, I had already sent someone to take care of him."
"Unless the imperial envoy has Hua Tuo by his side, he will be a dead man."
"Oh, no, even if Hua Tuo were alive, he couldn't save him." Xue Gang said confidently.
"Well, it's fine once it's cleaned up."
"This new imperial envoy is really direct and rude. You should all give me your hands back and close the grain store first."
"Yes." Although Xue Pan looked heartbroken, he nodded obediently.
"I heard that when the new imperial envoy first entered Guozhou City, his car was stopped by a commoner. That person probably said a lot of things. Should we send him..."
"At a time like this, let's just wait and see what happens, and no one is allowed to take action." The head of the Xue family's face darkened.
"Dad, the imperial envoy posted a notice at the gate of the prefect's mansion, saying that anyone who exposes Prefect Wang will be given a pound of rice."
"Do you think those people would really go there and cause trouble just for food?"
After hearing this, the head of the Xue family raised his right hand and gently stroked the dragon head on the cane.
"Not necessarily. Even if it is revealed, it is the business of Prefect Wang. What does it have to do with our Xue family?"
"Now that Fu Guozhong is dead, the evidence against our Xue family is gone."
"Keep a close eye on Wang Desheng. As long as he doesn't start to attack us, our Xue family will be safe."
"yes."
——
In the villa of Magistrate Wang.
After a check, Si Muqiao found that Fu Guozhong, who was sent there, was already on his last legs.
Severe trauma and excessive blood loss are not big problems.
The worst thing is that his internal organs were also severely damaged and his body functions were greatly reduced.
Although her medicine box can automatically contain various medicinal materials and instruments, it does not contain equipment such as ventilators, ECG monitors, and defibrillators.
Seeing that Fu Guozhong's vital signs were disappearing little by little, Si Muqiao had no choice but to use adrenaline.
But it was useless in the end.
Just when Si Muqiao was about to give up, she suddenly thought of the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill that the system had rewarded her with.
She couldn't help but want to slap her head.
Yes, how could she forget such an important thing!
The system has said that even if a person is dead, as long as it is less than five minutes, he can be saved after taking the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill.
Not to mention that Fu Guozhong is not dead yet.
There was no outsider in the emergency treatment room. Si Muqiao quickly took out the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill and stuffed it into Fu Guozhong's mouth.
A cup of tea passed, a quarter of an hour passed...
Under Si Muqiao's watch, Fu Guozhong's body functions were improving little by little, and his vital signs were returning to normal.
Even the wounds on his body were healing slowly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Si Muqiao was shocked like a fool when he saw all this.
To be honest, this Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill somewhat subverted her cognition.
But if even time travel can happen, what is there to be confused about when there is a magic medicine provided by the system that can quickly restore body functions?
So, Si Muqiao convinced himself so easily.
I just wonder if others will become suspicious of her if they see that Fu Guozhong's condition has improved.
Uh, so annoying.
After the very dedicated Si Muqiao learned that Fu Guozhong was no longer in danger of life, he carefully and sincerely helped him bandage his wounds.
In order to prevent others from noticing that Fu Guozhong recovered too quickly, she even wrapped Fu Guozhong with bandages to turn him into a vegetative state.
Even the ten fingers on his two arms were not spared.
"Miss...Miss, who are you?" Fu Guozhong slowly opened his eyes and stared at her and asked in a slow voice.
"Master Fu, are you awake? I am the new Imperial Envoy's assistant. Wait, I will call someone in."
After Si Muqiao finished speaking, he put away the medicine box, quickly opened the door and walked out.
"Master Rong, Master Feng, Master Fu inside has woken up."
As soon as Si Muqiao opened her mouth, Murong Qingli and Feng Liuyu, who were talking, immediately turned their eyes to her.
"Awake? Is he okay?"
"He is seriously injured and needs to rest well, but he can speak." Si Muqiao replied.
"Erya, I never thought that your medical skills are so superb. I wonder who your master is?" Murong Qingli asked calmly.
"Master Rong, you are joking. My medical skills are very shallow. I just learned a little bit from the books I picked up. Now I just happen to be using it."
[Minato, the dog tyrant is really starting to doubt me! ]
[I studied clinical medicine, and I only know some Western medical methods at most. I am really not good at Chinese medicine! ]
[If it weren't for the Nine Revolutions Resurrection Pill given by the system, Fu Guozhong would have died long ago, right? ]
[No, no, a blacksmith must be strong himself. When I return to Beijing, I must catch Doctor Gao and ask him to teach me Chinese medicine!]
[Hey, I said I wanted to be a salted fish, how come I ended up like this? ]
【Spread your hands┓(´∀`)┏】
While muttering to himself, Si Muqiao did not forget to stare at the backs of Murong Qingli and Feng Liuyu, the fairy couple, and watched them enter the house and close the door.
Si Muqiao then withdrew her gaze and communicated with the system in her mind.
"Ah, Tongzi, are you there? Have I completed my side quest?"
"Ding, the host has completed the side quest of saving Fu Guozhong. You can get a chance to draw a random prize. Do you want to draw now?"
"Yes." Si Muqiao nodded.
