Chapter 100: Leading Troops to Zuixianlou
Recalling the two attacks by the men in black, the first time the other party did not intend to kill her directly, and obviously intended to leave her alive.
Although they had intended to kill her from the beginning the second time, she believed that the mastermind behind the two groups was the same.
These five men in black, who were as strong as her, must have been additional personnel sent by the other party after the last test.
I just don't know what the two different purposes are.
As long as she figured out the motive, she could deduce who was the mastermind behind it.
It seems that her premonition was correct. The man in black who followed her to Taoyuan Mountain was coming for her.
If she could get information about these men in black from Rongqi and the others, she would be able to follow the clues and catch the people who were targeting the Gu family.
But she hadn't seen Rong Qi for more than a year, and she had only met Rong Xing two or three times at Renhe Hall.
Renhetang...
"Dad and Mom, do you know who opened Renhetang?"
Gu Lang thought for a moment and said:
"This Renhe Hall is said to be opened by the younger brother of Magistrate Liang."
Prefect Liang? Could it be that Prefect Liang was the one behind the Gu family's actions?
That shouldn't be the case. If Liang Jianwei wanted to deal with the Gu family, he would have done so when the Gu family moved into the villa. What's more, Prefect Liang knew that she and Zheng Yannian were practicing martial arts.
Zheng Yannian, Yuchi Shuo and Liang Zhifu all knew about this matter, so these people were eliminated first.
By the time the Gu family's carriage and Prefect Liang arrived at Renhe Hall with his soldiers, the hall was already deserted.
There was still a closed sign on the door, but the door was open.
"Go in and check!"
Prefect Liang spoke in a serious tone. This was his younger brother's pharmacy, which had always enjoyed a good reputation among the people. He didn't expect that a kidnapping and murder would happen there!
He must find out the truth!
A group of people turned Renhetang upside down but did not find any clues.
Gu Feixue took the Gu family and some officers and soldiers to the backyard of Renhe Hall.
There were many prepared herbs drying in the courtyard of Renhetang. It was late at night and the dew was heavy, but no one took them back into the house.
Gu Feixue suddenly thought of something and immediately walked towards the storage room.
After a little surprise, everyone followed.
The door of the utility room was indeed locked from the outside. The officers and soldiers pushed hard against it, and with a bang, they pushed the door open.
The two wooden doors collapsed, and everyone saw three people, young and old, who were tied up and had cloth stuffed in their mouths.
"They are the owner, doctor and medicine boy of Renhetang!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Feixue looked at the pale and unconscious people on the ground, but did not see Rong Xing, so she felt relieved.
Afterwards, everyone called the prefect Liang. When Liang Jianwei saw that his brother was unconscious, he was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and quickly asked someone to carry the three of them to the front.
"Miss Gu, could you please take a look at my brother and them? What happened to them?"
It’s no wonder that Liang Jianwei tried all kinds of medical treatments in desperation. In his impression, Gu Feixue was omnipotent and had treated patients together with the miracle doctor.
It was difficult to find a doctor to treat them at this time, so Gu Feixue did not hesitate and went straight forward to take the pulse of the three people.
"Don't worry, sir. They are unconscious due to hunger. Feed them some liquid food first and they will wake up in half a day."
What Gu Feixue didn’t say was that if they had been a day or two later, they would probably have starved to death.
Fortunately, there was still some rice and flour left in the pharmacy. Gu Feixue put some warming and non-irritating herbs into the porridge and cooked it into a thin porridge. She asked someone to feed the three people a bowl every hour.
It was not until dawn that the three showed signs of waking up.
The Gu family and their group did not leave the pharmacy. They rested in the patient room for about two hours before being woken up by someone.
"Miss Gu, he's awake, come and see him."
Liang Jianwei's voice sounded a little anxious. It seemed that the person who woke up was his younger brother Liang Jiankang.
Gu Feixue yawned and followed Prefect Liang, who had been taking care of his younger brother all night without sleep, to the front.
Saving lives was the most important thing, so the other members of the Gu family did not blame anyone and followed along.
Seeing that the person who had woken up was indeed Liang Jiankang, who was in relatively good health, Gu Feixue examined him carefully, prescribed him a dietary supplement, and told Governor Liang that he was fine.
Gu Feixue did not give the Liang brothers time to talk, and asked:
"Shopkeeper Liang, now that you're awake, I have a lot to ask you."
Afterwards, Gu Feixue asked a lot of key information, such as what they had experienced, when they were imprisoned, and whether Xingrong was there when they were imprisoned.
Later, she learned that Rong Xing had not been to the pharmacy for more than half a month. She had asked someone to bring wine to them, and the next day they were locked in the utility room by masked men who broke into the pharmacy.
"You mean, on the fifth day of the New Year, you were locked in the storage room? What about the fourth day? Was there anything unusual?"
Liang Jiankang recalled it carefully, but shook his head.
"There's nothing unusual. The pharmacy is still seeing patients as usual."
Gu Feixue frowned upon hearing this and said:
"Then, shopkeeper, did you hear the medicine boy mention that someone sent a jar of wine on the fourth day of the New Year?"
The answer she got was also a shake of the head. Gu Feixue suddenly realized something in her heart. She turned to look at Prefect Liang and said:
"Your Excellency, I had a jar of wine delivered to Renhetang on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year. The wine is very strong and is very effective in disinfecting the affected area of the patient."
No one expected such a thing to happen. Liang Jianwei was a little confused:
"Miss Gu, are you saying that this wine is related to my brother's kidnapping?"
Gu Feixue only said vaguely:
"Maybe."
Gu Feixue already had some guesses in her mind, but since she hadn't found Wu Zhuang from Zuixianlou, it was difficult to make a judgment now.
"It's already dawn. I'm sure the person I asked to deliver the wine has already started work. I'd like to ask Magistrate Liang to bring someone with me to Zuixianlou."
Of course, thinking that Zuixianlou still needed to do business, he used the excuse of not alerting the enemy and asked the officers and soldiers to wait at the back door of Zuixianlou.
With Gu Feixue's current skills, she is not afraid of being escaped, but there are so many people around, so it is better for her not to be exposed if possible.
When the Gu family and Magistrate Liang arrived at Zuixianlou, Manager Bao also received the news and came to greet Magistrate Liang.
However, when Gu Feixue explained her purpose, Manager Bao said with some surprise:
"Wu Zhuang? He just received today's goods from the Gu family and is helping out in the kitchen. Are you looking for him?"
When everyone arrived at the backyard of Zuixianlou, they saw Wu Zhuang moving and sorting goods.
"Wu Zhuang, come here."
Wu Zhuang saw doubts flash across everyone's faces, and when he got close, he smiled innocently and said:
"Boss, Miss Gu, what do you want from me?"
Gu Feixue's face couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.
"Brother Wu, do you still remember the wine I asked you to deliver to Renhetang on the fourth day of the New Year?"
Wu Zhuang's face showed a look of reminiscence, and after a while he said with some shame:
"I'm sorry, Miss Gu. I had something to do that day, so I asked someone to deliver it for me."
Gu Feixue was stunned for a moment, then stared at Wu Zhuang's expression and said:
"You gave up the wine that was brought to you?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhuang turned his gaze towards the kitchen behind him and said:
"Brother Zhang helped deliver it."
