74, the accident happened suddenly

When it was getting dark, Zhang Biao brought Dr. Ma from Anzhou back.

During this day, under the careful care of Shi Jinrou and Xiaolian, Ran Yicheng's face gradually became rosy and his coma gradually decreased, but he had a fever again.

After Doctor Ma examined Ran Yicheng, he gave Shi Jinrou a few pills to feed Ran Yicheng. Then, he left some for Shi Jinrou and said to Shi Jinrou:

"General Ran is strong and has suffered serious injuries, but his life should be fine. However, even if the general can get out of bed, he should not ride a horse, and he should not have too intense activities. In addition, he should eat more black chickens, red dates, etc., and then supplemented with ginseng soup."

Shi Jinrou nodded and replied, and wrote down Dr. Ma's instructions one by one.

Doctor Ma continued, "I am temporarily staying in the Marquis of Wuyue in Xia. When General Ran's injury improves, then return to Anzhou. If there is anything wrong with General Ran, Mr. Shi can immediately go to the Marquis of Wu's mansion to summon him."

Shi Jinrou thanked Dr. Ma and ordered Zhang Biao to escort Dr. Ma to Wuyue Marquis' Mansion. At the same time, she gave Zhang Biao some silver coins, and told Zhang Biao that after sending Dr. Ma, she went directly to the remote courtyard. In this way, the brothers in the capital would have a response when they came.

Zhang Biao agreed and escorted Dr. Ma out of the back house.

To put it short, two days have passed in a flash. In the past two days, except for Zhang Biao who came once and informed the brothers in Beijing that they had arrived, there were no other abnormal situations. Everything seemed calm. No one went to the yamen to make trouble, and no outsiders broke into the back house without authorization.

Ran Yicheng was young and strong after all, and everyone took care of him meticulously, especially Shi Jinrou, who gave all her strength, so Ran Yicheng's injuries recovered very quickly and the wounds had begun to heal.

On the third day, Shi Jinrou still took Xiao Lian to the vegetable cellar to replace Shui Sheng. Shi Jinrou asked her to rest peacefully, and she and Xiao Lian came to take care of Ran Yicheng.

Ran Yicheng is no longer in a coma. Although he is still a little listless, he can barely eat.

He asked Anxin how the brothers in Beijing arranged the arrangements and where to live.

Anxin said that they had already scattered to the nearby secret sentry stations and were not gathered together. They would decide separately when the general recovered.

Ran Yicheng nodded to express satisfaction.

He didn't mention how Shi Jinrou took care of Ran Yicheng, just talking about Shi Yuanhai. He has not relaxed his pursuit of the inn murderer in the past few days, and still sent the yamen runners out every day to speed up the investigation and surveillance of Duan Mansion and the mine.

According to the yamen runners who monitored Duan Mansion and the mine, from the previous two days, Duan Mansion and the mine did have some abnormal movements, especially in the mine. A large number of mine guards patrolled around the mine, and some mine guards took their hunting dogs to search for something, and even expanded the scope of the search to Pengxian.

The yamen runners who monitored the Duan Mansion said that the Duan Mansion also sent many servants to look for something around in Yi'an County and the surrounding villages.

Ishihara Hai felt strange. He specially found several Yi'an people who had some relationship with the Duan family and entrusted them to help find out what the Duan family was looking for.

There was finally a definite news today: it turned out that one night a few days ago, that is, the night when there was heavy fog, a fire broke out in the Duanjia Mine. Several mine slaves who worked in the workplace ran away while they were looking for those mine slaves.

After Ishihara Hai found out the situation, he breathed a sigh of relief. What he was most worried about was that Duan’s mansion is coming to trouble the yamen now.

But things are often like this. What you don’t want to happen the most is the easiest thing to happen. Everything goes well, but it’s just a good wish. In most cases, things that are not satisfactory are often eight or nine.

Before the breath of Ishihara Hai could completely dissipate in the air, the trouble really came!

A yamen runner came in to report: "Sir Qi, Lord Zhang, the governor of Anzhou, has arrived. I will ask you to go outside the yamen to greet you immediately!"

Ishihara Hai was stunned, but he couldn't let him think too much at this moment, so he could only tidy up his official uniform and follow the yamen runners outside the yamen gate.

The sedan chair of the prefect Zhang was parked outside the county yard gate and was guarded by the yamen runners brought by Lord Zhang from Anzhou Prefecture. There were two sedan chairs with the prefect Zhang. From above, the owner of Duan Mansion Duan Gang and Mr. Gu.

Ishihara Hai did not dare to hesitate and immediately walked to the prefect's sedan chair.

"Sir, please see the magistrate!" Ishihara Hai bowed and bowed.

Prefect Zhang walked out of the sedan chair wearing a thick animal hide cloak. He snorted coldly, and didn't even look at Shiyuanhai. He said lightly: "Mr. Shi County is exempt from gifts, lead the way!" Then he turned to Master Duan and Mr. Gu behind him and said:

"The two of you go in with our mansion to see if the magistrate of Shi County really hides the murderer."

After hearing this, Ishihara Hai was secretly frightened and couldn't help but feel extremely nervous! Fortunately, he was not panicked on the surface, so he stood up and bowed to stand aside, asking the prefect and Mr. Duan, and Mr. Gu to enter the lobby of the county government first.

As she walked, the prefect Zhang said to Ishihara Hai: "Mr. Shi County, someone reported that you were hiding a murderer. In order to show your innocence, please do not leave me."

Before entering the county government office, the prefect Zhang turned around and ordered the yamen runners he brought, "Come on, search everywhere to see if Lord Shi hid the criminals, don't wrongly accuse the good people!"

Before Lord Zhang finished speaking, Ishihara Hai suddenly shouted loudly: "Let's wait!"

Then, Ishihara Hashi bowed to Lord Zhang and said, "Mr. Zhang, I wonder who reported the lower officials to hide the murderer?"

Lord Zhang sneered and said, "Mr. Shi, may you still want to take revenge?"

Ishihara Hai knew that he could not stop the prefect, so he just wanted to delay the time so that he could prepare in the back house.

Ishihara Hai said: "Mr. Zhang, a major murder occurred in this county a few days ago. A group of masked murderers set fire to Yuanlai Inn. A total of 21 people died in a bad life. I reported this to the prefecture on the day of the incident. I wonder if Mr. Zhang had read the report from the Xiaguan?"

Lord Zhang said, "I have read it, and I have reported it to the court. Why, has Lord Shi solved the case?"
