After taking the medicinal powder that Shopkeeper Liu gave him, he would not have an attack immediately, because Shopkeeper Li could not let anything happen to him in the Elder's Mansion, so he was poisoned now and nothing would happen until the evening.
After the six sons finished their work, they went to Shopkeeper Liu's house to ask for credit. Shopkeeper Liu was naturally very satisfied with the reward given to the six sons.
After giving the money to Liuzi, Shopkeeper Liu said: "Don't come to the Elder's Mansion for the next few days, and stay at home for a while."
"Don't worry, shopkeeper, I understand." Liuzi said.
After Liuzi took the silver, he left the elder's mansion early.
Liuzi solved a big problem for Shopkeeper Liu. He sat in the room and drank tea relaxedly. In fact, what Shopkeeper Liu was most worried about was not that Shopkeeper Li would expose him for making false accounts, but that Shopkeeper Li would be reused by the elders like himself.
He could tell that the third elder had always trusted him very much. It was enough that among the several shopkeepers, he was the only one who was reused.
Of course, the poison he gave Liu Zi was not fatal, and he would not kill Shopkeeper Li. It was just that Shopkeeper Li would go blind after taking the poison.
How could a blind person be reused by the Third Elder?
Because the Third Elder made an appointment with Shopkeeper Liu to visit Shopkeeper Qi, he left the Elder's Mansion an hour early.
After arriving at Shopkeeper Qi's home, Shopkeeper Liu patted the door. The servant opened the door and saw that the person who came was Shopkeeper Liu, and said, "It turns out to be Shopkeeper Liu, please come inside."
The servant did not bring shopkeeper Liu and the third elder directly into the inner room, but invited them to the outer room. After the servant reported to Madam Qi, Mrs. Qi came to the outer room.
"It turns out to be shopkeeper Liu and the third elder." Mrs. Qi said.
"Sister-in-law, how is brother Qi? The third elder was a little worried, so he came over in person." Shopkeeper Liu asked.
"Master, he hasn't woken up yet and has been lying down for several days. I'm really worried," the lady said.
"Madam, what did the doctor say? I originally planned to invite the young master of the Nan family to come and take a look, but you know, the young master of the Nan family is not willing to come to see a doctor at all now. Only A-Lan can invite him, so..." the third elder said.
"I understand, Third Elder, I appreciate your kindness. In fact, I have invited several doctors in the past few days, but unfortunately they all said there is no way. Now except for him to wake up suddenly, I really don't know what to do.
." Mrs. Qi said sadly.
"Brother Qi will definitely get better, sister-in-law, don't be too sad," Shopkeeper Liu said.
"We would like to visit Shopkeeper Qi, but is it convenient?" asked the third elder.
The Third Elder planned to go and see Shopkeeper Qi in person. Although Shopkeeper Liu confirmed that Shopkeeper Qi was asleep, he still believed in his own eyes and would not feel at ease without confirming it himself.
Mrs. Qi nodded and invited shopkeeper Liu and the third elder to enter the inner room together.
Sure enough, Shopkeeper Qi was lying on the couch motionless. The third elder walked over first. Seeing that Shopkeeper Qi's lips were a little purple, he said, "Mrs. Qi, is Shopkeeper Qi poisoned?"
"Poisoned? How could he be poisoned for no reason? Who would poison him?" Mrs. Qi asked. "Seeing that his lips are purple, I think Shopkeeper Qi's symptoms should look like poisoning, but the strange thing is that the doctor
Why can't we diagnose the cause?" said the third elder.
"To be honest, my master's lips were normal a few days ago, but this morning I discovered that his lips were a little dark," Mrs. Qi said.
"Don't worry, Mrs. Qi, Shopkeeper Qi will be fine," the third elder said.
"I hope so." Mrs. Qi said.
"It's time for us to leave. We'll visit brother Qi another day. These are some of the wishes of the third elder. Please accept them, madam." The third shopkeeper pointed to the box on the table and said.
"The third elder has already sent a lot of supplements, we can't accept any more," Mrs. Qi said.
"When something happens to Shopkeeper Qi, how can we, the Leng family, ignore it? We must accept the things. This is the Leng family's wish." The third elder said.
After the Third Elder and Shopkeeper Liu asked Mrs. Qi to take good care of Shopkeeper Qi, they left Shopkeeper Qi's home.
On the carriage, the third elder asked: "Shopkeeper Liu, you have met Shopkeeper Qi before. Is his expression the same as what you saw today?"
Shopkeeper Liu recalled it and said: "The last time I saw Shopkeeper Qi, his face was still a little pale. This time his face was not so bad, but the color of his lips was indeed very dark. The third elder was right, Shopkeeper Qi
Maybe he was poisoned."
"It's all my fault. We didn't protect you well, otherwise we wouldn't have let such a big thing happen to Shopkeeper Qi." The third elder said.
"Third Elder, how can I blame you for this?" Shopkeeper Liu said.
The third elder felt very guilty and kept blaming himself on the carriage. Shopkeeper Liu could only advise the third elder not to think so.
Early the next morning, shopkeeper Li did not appear at the elder's house as expected. The third elder came to shopkeeper Liu's house only after lunch.
"Shopkeeper Li didn't come here today. Did something happen?" asked the third elder.
"How could it be? It was fine when I left yesterday. Is it because Shopkeeper Li's cold has not healed yet?" Shopkeeper Liu said.
"I'm really worried. Several shopkeepers trusted the Leng family and chose to go to the Elder's Mansion to wait for news, but something happened during this period. The Leng family needs to be held responsible. I'm really worried," said the third elder.
"Third Elder, don't worry, I'm going to shopkeeper Li's house right now." Shopkeeper Liu stood up and said.
"Thank you, you are the only one I trust most now," the third elder said.
Shopkeeper Liu got on the carriage alone, with a long-lost smile on his face. When he arrived at Shopkeeper Li's door, Shopkeeper Liu got off the carriage. As soon as he got off the carriage and stood at the door, the shopkeeper heard crying inside.
Shopkeeper Liu patted the door, and the servant opened the door and saw that the person who came was Shopkeeper Liu, so he invited Shopkeeper Liu into the house.
Shopkeeper Liu entered the house and saw Shopkeeper Li sitting in the outer room, while Mrs. Li sat aside wiping tears.
"Old Li, what's going on?" Shopkeeper Liu said.
"It's Shopkeeper Liu. I don't know what happened. I was fine last night. I got up early this morning and planned to pack up and go to the Elder's Mansion, but I couldn't see anything." Shopkeeper Li said.
"Can't see? Have you asked a doctor?" Shopkeeper Liu said.
"The doctor just left. He looked at it for a long time and didn't know why." Shopkeeper Li said.
"What's going on? Yesterday, the third elder and I went to Shopkeeper Qi's house. Shopkeeper Qi hasn't woken up yet. Today I found that his lips were still a little purple, as if he was really poisoned. Your eyes suddenly looked
It’s gone, could it be poisoning?” Shopkeeper Liu asked.
"I don't know either. The doctor can't tell the reason anyway." Shopkeeper Li said.
"What will I do next, master? Why is this happening all of a sudden?" Mrs. Li said as she wiped her tears.
"Okay, don't cry." Shopkeeper Li said.
Mrs. Li looked at Shopkeeper Li and then entered the inner room.
After shopkeeper Liu sat for a while, he returned to the elder's mansion.
Seeing that he was back, the third elder quickly invited shopkeeper Liu to the front hall.
"How's it going, Shopkeeper Liu? What happened to Shopkeeper Li?" asked the third elder.
"Third Elder, something really happened to Shopkeeper Li. He was fine when he went back yesterday, but this morning he found that he couldn't see anything." Shopkeeper Liu said.
"Can't see anything? Is he blind?" the third elder asked in surprise.
The third elder did not take action against Shopkeeper Li. He knew in his heart that if A Lan did not do it, then Shopkeeper Liu did it.
"Yes, Shopkeeper Li is indeed blind, and like Shopkeeper Qi, the doctor can't diagnose the cause," Shopkeeper Liu said.
"How could this happen? How could Shopkeeper Li become blind for no reason? What happened last night?" the third elder said in surprise.
"Is it really like the third elder said, it's the young master... No, it can't be. I don't believe that the young master would do this. He will not hurt us." Shopkeeper Liu said.
The third elder said: "It's such a coincidence. Shopkeeper Qi and Shopkeeper Li fell ill on the same day. Shopkeeper Qi fell asleep and shopkeeper Li just got better, but now he can't see anything. It's really strange."
"Third Elder, what should we do now? I'm the only one left now. Will the young master do anything to me?" Shopkeeper Liu asked worriedly.
The person who poisoned Shopkeeper Li was obviously Shopkeeper Liu, but he pretended not to know anything. Shopkeeper Liu was worried that the three elders would doubt him, so he wanted to frame Ah Lan for it.
The third elder was not sure whether Shopkeeper Li's blindness was related to A-Lan, but it was such a coincidence. Shopkeeper Qi was drowsy, and Shopkeeper Li was blind. Apart from them, Shopkeeper Liu was the only one left. So, there was
Maybe it was made by shopkeeper Liu.
He had said so much before that he wanted them to kill each other. It seemed that Shopkeeper Liu should have taken action. However, Shopkeeper Liu was smart and blamed A-Lan for this matter.
"If Shopkeeper Liu doesn't mind, what do you think, don't leave the Elder's Mansion these days and just stay here? If you are worried about your family, you can bring them to the Elder's Mansion." The third elder asked.
After hearing this, shopkeeper Liu hurriedly said: "How can I live in the elder's mansion? It would be even worse if I bring my family to live in it. I will keep the elder's concern in mind, and I will be more careful in the future."
The third elder did not continue to invite Shopkeeper Liu. After sending Shopkeeper Liu home, he returned to the Elder's Mansion.
The three elders have not left for the past three days and have been living in the great elder's mansion. After entering the mansion, he ordered the housekeeper to ask what special things happened in the elder's yard in the past few days.
After the steward accepted the errand, he went to summon all the stewards. Less than an hour after explaining what the third elder said, there was news from the kitchen and the maid who delivered the tea and fruit.
"Third Elder, there were some small things in the house yesterday that I don't know whether they are important or not. Do you want to listen to them?" the housekeeper said.
The third elder nodded and asked the housekeeper to invite the kitchen steward and the maid to come in and talk.
The kitchen steward was followed by a nanny, and the three of them entered the front hall and greeted respectfully: "Third Elder."
"Has anything special happened in the kitchen recently?" the third elder asked.
The kitchen steward glanced at the nanny on the side, who nodded, took a step forward and said: "Third Elder, I don't know if it's something special, but I always feel that something is wrong. After lunch yesterday, come here
There was a young man who looked a little strange. He said that he was from Shopkeeper Liu. He was not full during lunch and went to the kitchen to beg for something to eat. The servant did not think too much at the time and prepared a meal for him.
