Zhuge Nan smiled and said: "This King Fan Yang seems to be pretty good."
"Yes, I heard when I was in Yangzhou that this prince was famous for his kindness. When I saw him today, he was indeed so kind." Xu Wenqing said with a smile.
An idea suddenly came to her mind. If Mr. Wu couldn't help her, she might try to find this prince.
Suddenly, she remembered her maid's behavior of abandoning her just now, and turned to look at the stairs, preparing to teach her a few words.
Unexpectedly, the reed fell to the ground and remained motionless.
Xu Wenqing hurriedly stepped forward and helped Lu Wei up. After shaking her for a long time, she still didn't wake up. He said urgently: "Master Wu, please come over and take a look. Lu Wei can't wake up."
"When I came in just now, I noticed the little girl collapsed at the stairs. Next to her stood the Huangshan man and the old man. I think it was them who did it." Zhuge Sanyuan said slowly.
Walking to the two of them, he said again: "Miss Xu, don't worry, the little girl is fine, just press her inside for a while, not there, right, just press here."
Under Zhuge Sanyuan's instructions, Xu Wenqing finally rescued Lu Wei.
Wu Chengsi and others went up to the second floor together, and Zhuge Sanyuan, Zhuge Nan and Han Chengdu came to his room.
As soon as Zhuge Nan closed the door, he said: "Your Highness, judging from what happened just now, Wu Wei is hopeless. There is no need to investigate the matter of selling counterfeit medicine. He must have done it."
"Then what do you think we should do?"
"Let General Li Duozuo from Mingzhou come over and arrest him for interrogation. If the Fire Phoenix Society's main altar is really here, it is very likely that he will ask questions from his mouth."
"What do Lord Zhuge Temple think?" Wu Chengsi turned around and asked.
"Although judging from the current situation, there does seem to be a problem with Wu Wei, but it is best to have firm evidence and draw conclusions before it is too late." Zhuge Sanyuan said leisurely.
Zhugenan muttered in a low voice: "Why bother?"
"What did you say?" Lao Siqing's ears were particularly sensitive.
Zhuge Nan hurriedly said: "I think what you said is so right!"
Wu Chengsi nodded and said: "My views are the same as those of Lord Zhuge Si. We don't have to rush to capture Wu Wei yet."
Han Cheng said: "Then where should we start?"
Wu Chengsi smiled and said: "If my guess is correct, the key to this matter is in the red leaf forest. Let's go explore the ghost forest tomorrow!"
…
In another room on the second floor, the skinny old man said to the Huangshan man sitting at the table: "Young Master, what should we do next? If we don't act quickly, it may affect the prince's plan."
The Huangshan man walked to the window, opened it, looked at the sky outside and said, "The moonlight is pretty tonight."
"Young Master, this plan is of great importance. We can't make any mistakes here." The skinny old man warned.
The Huangshan man reached out to the moon to clink his glass and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, I have already thought of a way."
"Oh? I wonder if you have any clever ideas?"
The Huangshan man smiled and said, "Do you still remember what the shopkeeper said just now?"
"You mean the red leaf forest?"
The Huangshan man walked back to the table, poured the wine, and said with a smile: "That's right, the shopkeeper said there are ghosts in the red leaf forest, and many people disappeared after entering."
"I guess these are just rumors. How can there really be any ghosts in this matter?" The skinny old man smiled, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.
The Huangshan man said calmly: "Did you see what the man named Wu was holding in his hand just now?"
"A yellow dog."
"Don't you understand yet?"
The skinny old man slapped his forehead and said, "Ah, you mean they want to visit the red leaf forest?"
The Huangshan man closed his eyes, sniffed the wine in the glass, and said, "Not bad."
The skinny old man's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and he said: "The woods are the best place to do something. Should we teach them a lesson, or get rid of them directly?"
The Huangshan man drank the wine into his mouth very slowly, tasting the fine wine in his mouth with an intoxicated expression.
After a long while, Fang slowly said: "Aren't there a lot of people disappearing there? Even if four more people disappear, no one will be suspicious, right?"
The skinny old man frowned and said, "There's just one thing you need to pay attention to."
"What's the matter?" The Huangshan man glanced over.
"The man in the black military uniform among them is probably not as good as me in martial arts. To deal with them, it's best to go to the red leaf forest in advance to ambush him."
The Huangshan man raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you saying that the fifty guards we brought can't deal with just four people?"
"I'm just a little worried. Our fifty people are more than enough to deal with that young boy. I can also defeat the man in black."
"Then what's the problem?"
"My subordinates are afraid that the man named Wu and the old man in gray are also good at martial arts. If one of them escapes, we will be in trouble."
The Huangshan man shook his head slightly, waved his hand and said: "Forget it, you go and arrange the ambush."
The skinny old man bowed and said: "My subordinates will go outside the city to make arrangements."
The skinny old man had just gone out when he suddenly saw Xu Wenqing standing outside a door not far away, knocking on the door.
The door opened quickly, and Mr. Wu's voice came over.
After the two said a few words, Xu Wenqing entered Mr. Wu's room.
The skinny old man came to Mr. Wu's door and was about to eavesdrop.
Suddenly, a voice sounded from behind.
"What are you doing?"
Turning around, he saw the old man in gray clinging to him like a ghost.
The skinny old man was startled. He took two steps back and said in a deep voice, "My martial arts skills are quite good. You can actually appear behind me quietly."
Zhuge Sanyuan said calmly: "It's not bad."
The skinny old man looked at him for a while and said in a deep voice: "It's really strange. I have basically heard of all the famous figures in the Jiangnan martial arts world. I really can't think of one of them."
Zhuge Sanyuan said calmly: "I'm not interested in talking to you, so please do so. If you dare to eavesdrop in the future, I won't be so polite."
The skinny old man looked cold, snorted, turned around and went downstairs.
…
In Wu Chengsi's room, Xu Wenqing smiled and said: "Master Wu, I just got some news, do you want to hear it?"
"what news?"
"It's about King Fan Yang and Wu Wei!"
Wu Chengsi's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Yes, I am indeed very interested in the affairs of these two people, and I would like to ask the girl to tell you."
Xu Wenqing smiled and said: "I knew you would be interested. I heard from the shopkeeper that His Royal Highness King Fan Yang and Wu Wei are very good friends."
She originally wanted to inquire about King Fan Yang, but she unexpectedly learned a lot of news about Wu Wei.
"But from what I saw just now, they don't look like friends." Wu Chengsi frowned.
"That's because they had a falling out later!"
"Why are they at odds with each other?" Although Wu Chengsi asked this, he already had an answer in his mind. He thought it was because of their last names.
"I heard that it was because Wu Wei's temperament changed drastically after he broke his leg, that the two of them gradually changed from friends to enemies." Xu Wenqing replied.
Wu Chengsi was slightly surprised and asked, "Did Wu Wei's leg break?"
"Yes, I heard that he used to be a weirdo. He often tinkered with weird things. Once he made a big kite and tied himself to it. He said he wanted to fly in the sky like a bird. As a result, he lost his legs.
Broken."
"..."
No matter what Wuwei's character is, this spirit of exploration is worthy of admiration, but it is a pity that in this era, his behavior will only be regarded as weird by others.
Xu Wenqing sighed and added: "I heard that his father died of illness when he was a child, and his mother has also been sick. The mother of King Fan Yang had the same strange disease as his mother. It was because of this that they became
friend."
"What strange disease?" Wu Chengsi frowned.
"I heard it's a disease of wealth."
Wu Chengsi was taken aback and asked, "What kind of disease is this?"
Xu Wenqing frowned and said, "That's what the shopkeeper said. He said that only some rich ladies in the city got this disease. Others were fine. The doctors in the city couldn't find out what the disease was, so everyone called it this disease."
The disease is a disease of wealth!"
Wu Chengsi secretly said that it was strange, there really were all kinds of strange things in this world.
"I heard that this disease cannot be cured and can only be alleviated by continuous use of precious nourishing herbs. All those who suffered from this disease died. The only people who survived were the mother of King Fan Yang and the mother of Wu Wei."
After a pause, he added: "By the way, the two of them live together in a manor in the north of the city."
"North of the city? Could it be the Baiyun Garden we saw on the road?"
Xu Wenqing nodded repeatedly: "That's right there. Didn't we see King Fan Yang's carriage in the afternoon? I guess he just came back from Baiyun Garden."
Wu Chengsi showed a thoughtful expression.
Xu Wenqing sighed and said: "I heard that the prince is not only a kind man, but also a filial son. He goes to visit his mother outside the city every day. He is completely different from Wu Wei."
"Won't Wu Wei go?"
Xu Wenqing shook his head and said: "He rarely goes there. I heard that someone saw the mother and son quarreling at the gate of Baiyun Garden. Naturally, such a person will not be as filial as His Royal Highness King Fan Yang."
Wu Chengsi was silent for a while and then said: "Miss Xu, we plan to go to the red leaf forest tomorrow. Can you wait for us at the inn?"
