Mr. Jiang looked at the broken parchment in front of him, his cloudy eyes full of sharp light.
"Where did you find it?"
Lu Yi stood opposite Mr. Jiang and said in a deep voice: "The thief is dead. I found his accomplice based on some traces he left before his death. But when I chased him, the man ran away and rummaged through his house.
Such a broken parchment came out."
However, this thing is too old and badly damaged. It is impossible to see what is on it. I can only vaguely see some strange words and some unclear lines.
"You didn't handle this matter properly, but to get such a fragment of the scroll is just a crime." Mr. Jiang's eyes stayed on Lu Yi's arm. "Are you injured?"
"It's just a minor injury, please bear with me." Lu Yi lowered his eyes.
"You should recover from your injuries first and wait for my summons!"
"yes."
"If Magistrate Qin asks, do you know what to say?"
"Your home has been robbed and you need to find what was stolen."
"Very good, let's get down!"
Lu Yi came out of the study and met Shen Shenjun and maid Qiu Shui.
"Master Lu is injured!" Shen Shenjun said in surprise: "Qiu Shui, please call the doctor quickly."
"No need." Lu Yi cupped his hands towards Shen Shenjun: "It's just a skin injury."
Lu Zhiqian supported Lu Yi: "Master, let's go this way."
Only Lu Zhiqian knew that this was not a skin injury, but that the other party's hidden weapon was poisonous. Speaking of which, Mr. Jiang Ge was really weird. Lu Yi was just a bookkeeper, why should he be handed over to him to handle these matters?
Mr. Jiang stood at the window and watched this scene.
"Sir, Miss Cousin seems to be interested in Mr. Lu's book..." The confidant next to him said, "How about giving Mr. Lu's book a beating?"
"Don't you see that this is wishful thinking on her part? How is the relationship between Lu Yi and his wife?"
"I heard that the relationship is very good, like glue."
"That's enough. Lu Yi is a smart man and knows what he should do." Mr. Jiang said: "This parchment... you can find a top master to restore it."
Lu Yi took a few steps and then his body collapsed.
"Master." Lu Zhiqian panicked.
"Qiu Shui, call the doctor quickly." Shen Shenjun warned: "Whoever comes, help Mr. Lu to the guest room quickly."
Lu Zhiqian knew that it was not appropriate to move at this time, so he had no choice but to follow Shen Shenjun's arrangements. He followed Lu Yi closely, not daring to leave even a step.
Shen Shenjun entered the study: "Grandpa, my granddaughter took it upon herself to settle Mr. Lu. Please don't blame me, grandpa."
"What's the blame on you for sharing your grandfather's worries? But it's not appropriate for a girl like you to come forward again. The housekeeper will take care of the rest," Jiang Laodan said.
"yes."
Suzhou City. Mu Siyu has been here for ten days. She has done all the research that needs to be done. The next step is to go back and think about how to open a store in Suzhou City.
That's right, she has decided to open a semicolon in Suzhou City.
Although there are many big merchants in Suzhou City, she found that except for the Zhu family, the other Rong family and Feng family did not pay attention to Suzhou City. It must be because their business is very large and it is a more fertile city than Suzhou City.
Quite a few, so he didn't plan to do anything in Suzhou City. It was because of this that Mu Siyu saw the development potential of Suzhou City, and planned to open a semicolon when he returned.
"Hey!" Jiang Zhong tightened the horse's rope.
"What's wrong?" Mu Siyu opened the curtain.
"Master, someone stumbled to our carriage and fainted." Jiang Zhong said.
The carriage stopped and Mu Siyu got out of the carriage.
Lying on the ground was a young man with a pale face.
The young man was dressed simply, like a frail scholar. Although his face was pale, it was not difficult to tell that his appearance was very delicate.
"Send to the hospital first."
"good."
Several people sent the young man to Ming'an Hall.
"Who is this?" Xia Kun took An Yu there for a follow-up consultation. When he saw that they had brought a stranger over, he asked.
"Picked it up on the road." Jiang Zhong explained the situation.
Xia Kun frowned and looked at Mu Siyu: "Can you change your habit of picking on people?"
"Have I picked up anyone else?" Mu Siyu didn't know why.
Xia Kun chuckled.
The meaning is very clear, just the word contempt is written on his face.
It is true that she has never picked up anyone else, but she always threw money into his bowl. Wasn't it a bad intention?
If Mu Siyu knew what he was thinking, she would definitely say, "Brother, you are thinking too much."
This man fell down in front of their carriage. There was no way he could just run him over like this and take him to the hospital at least, right?
"Doctor, how are you doing?" Mu Siyu asked.
"This person is suffering from long-term hunger. He may be a scholar whose family is too poor to open the pot!" Doctor Li shook his head: "He is fainting from hunger. When he wakes up later, just give him some porridge to nourish his stomach."
"This is the money for his medical treatment. Please send a medicine boy to take care of him. Let him take the remaining money back to buy some food!" Mu Siyu said: "We don't know him either, so we won't accompany him.
"
"OK."
Mu Siyu told Xia Kun about returning to Hubei City.
"How long will it take for An Yu's eyes to be cured?"
"There are about ten days before the cloth can be dismantled."
"Then let's go first. This time we are just here to inquire about the situation in Suzhou City. We will come back soon. You take care of An Yu first. You don't have to worry about anything else."
"Okay." Xia Kun responded and came down. "Be careful on the road."
Mu Siyu remembered to stay home and planned to leave immediately.
The carriage arrived at the gate of Suzhou City, and suddenly a voice came from the front: "Close the city gate!"
The city gate that was originally opened quickly closed.
There were still many people preparing to leave the city. At this time, they could only watch the city gates closing helplessly.
"What's going on? Sir, I have to go home!"
"Master, it's my turn soon, let me go out! My daughter is sick, and I am anxious to go home to see her."
"Why did you close the city gate suddenly?"
Jiang Zhong was worried: "Master, what should I do?"
"Go back to Xia Kun first."
When Xia Kun heard the sound of the carriage, he went to open the courtyard door.
"What's going on?"
"We can't leave." Jiang Zhong said, "The city gate is closed."
"It's not time to close the city gate now." Xia Kun said, "It seems like something happened in the city."
"Anyway, I have no choice but to come back and join you." Wang Dachun said: "Master, the stinky tofu you wanted to eat yesterday happened to be sold out. I will buy it for you today!"
"Okay, let's stay one more day." Mu Siyu said, "Where's An Yu? I'm going to cook. An Yu likes to eat fish. You go buy a fish and bring it back, and I'll cook it for her."
Xia Kun responded.
The fishmonger picked a five-pound fish for Xia Kun and added a few small fish.
"This little fish tastes best when fried," the fishmonger said with a smile.
Xia Kun threw him a broken piece of silver and asked, "Why is the city gate closed?"
"I heard that Prince Zhong's Mansion captured escaped slaves." The fishmonger said quietly while pretending to be a fish: "This is the news that has been spread, I don't know if it is true or not. We can't enter Prince Zhong's Mansion, so we can't be sure whether it is true or not."
