Chapter 330: Xu Xutu (2)
After Li Zhongming and his son arrived in Gongzhou, they were still doing pharmacy business, but they rarely showed up, so they hired doctors to take the doctor in the shop to receive treatment.
The father and son made up their minds, low-key, and no matter how low-key they were. Moreover, they also had many considerations when choosing Gongzhou.
Although they did not serve as officials in the court, they have been in wealthy families for many years, so they have a little more understanding of the trends in the court than ordinary people.
King Jingyue is the youngest younger brother of the emperor today. The two brothers are more than twenty years apart. Even the prince is older than King Jingyue. When the late emperor was alive, he favored King Jingyue very much. In his poor health, he sent King Jingyue to his fiefdom and left a will. As long as King Jingyue does not rebel, the emperor will not be allowed to punish King Jingyue. The late emperor entrusts his orphans to the current emperor on his deathbed. The former prince and queen mother still entrusted him with the ministers.
It can be said that the status of King Jingyue is second only to the emperor, and no one dares to provoke him in the court. Even the current emperor must avoid him.
Such a powerful person, except for the emperor, who would dare to face King Jingyue?
Li Zhongming was a smart man. When he decided to escape from the capital, he analyzed the relationship between the vassal kings and weighed the pros and cons. Finally, he chose Gongzhou, the weakest fief of King Chen Qing among the vassal kings.
King Chen Qing was in poor health and never liked affairs in the court. Since he became a prince, he was obsessed with mountains and rivers. After he got married, he had only one prince, and the prince was weaker and needed medicine and stones to maintain it all year round. King Chen Qing was simply worried about this only son. Therefore, King Chen Qing was even more unwilling to court affairs, and he did not care about any of the big and small things on the fief.
Over the years, the emperor has always respected this uncle very much.
Li Zhongming believed that Gongzhou was in a good chaos. The more chaotic it was, the less King Jingyue would not expect that their father and son would choose such a place to settle down. They would be safer.
Who knows, they still think too simple.
They just spent more than a month in Gongzhou, and then there were frequent accidents in the pharmacy shop, and the medicinal materials were compensated very well. When they saw that they could not continue, someone sent them something.
So, the father and son were so scared that they threw themselves down the pharmacy in Gongzhou and ran to the countryside of Yizhou overnight...
Thinking of the self-deception for several months, Li Zhongming and his son could only smile bitterly. Since they couldn't escape, they had to come back.
As for how Lin Qingqian and Zhao Jingyun deal with their father and son, they could only choose to leave the will of fate.
Of course, when people are trapped in a state of beasts, they are often more willing to hold a person on their backs. Li Zhongming and his son returned to the capital and found the Lin family the night before they returned to the capital.
Unfortunately, no one who had ever had a close relationship with them wanted to meet them at this time.
Li Zhongming and his son walked on the street in a daze, looking at the pedestrians who were rushing under the lights, feeling sad. It turned out that the so-called powerful doctor found by the third room was actually Lin Qingqian.
Li Zhongming and his son were very puzzled. Since Lin Qingqian was so powerful in medical skills, why did he let their father and son manipulate Lin Yuan behind his back?
The father and son almost thought about it, but they couldn't figure it out. They could only wait for Lin Qingqian to come to the door in a trouble that they didn't know how to solve.
The third room did not disappoint their expectations, and the person came to the door. It was just...
"Doctor Li, Mr. Li, Mr. Li, and the princess will be able to get together with you in a few days because of trivial matters in the mansion. The New Year is approaching, and the princess and the princess specially sent me here to send me some New Year gifts first." A grandma An smiled, and behind her was a group of guards, guarding a cart of gifts.
Many people stood outside the Li family's yard and pointed at Li Zhongming and his son.
Li Zhongming and Li Shihai looked at each other, wondering what Lin Qingqian and Lin Jingxing sold in the gourd. Since they knew that their father and son had harmed the third wife, why did they ask Mrs. An to give gifts? Shouldn't they call him directly?
"Thank you, the young master and the princess. We should have come to visit us first." Li Zhongming also smiled harmoniously.
Since the other party has not turned against each other, they cannot turn against each other first.
"Mr. Li and Doctor Li have taken good care of the three little masters of the third house over the years. The princess and the prince have always remembered their kindness over the years. Why should you be polite?"
I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but Li Zhongming and Li Shihai both felt that when Ahn mentioned the words “Remembering and Care”, there was some emphasis on it.
What exactly did Lin Qingqian and Lin Jingxing want to do? The father and son were even more puzzled.
A-ma-master An hated the hypocritical master in her heart, but when she thought of the instructions of the two masters, she suppressed her anger again, and had a decent smile on her face and her tone seemed very intimate.
"The princess and the second young master are coming back this time, are they planning to live in Beijing for a long time? Are the eldest son and the two young masters' health improved?" Li Shihai asked tentatively.
The smile on An's face dissipated slightly, and his tone became much stiffer, "In the first year of the princess' wedding, she returned to Beijing to go to Yudian to recognize her relatives. The second young master accompanied her and came back to burn incense for the master's wife. As for the eldest son..."
Speaking of Lin Yuan, Amn hesitated deliberately.
Li Zhongming and Li Shihai suddenly felt hung up, staring at An Po Zi tightly, unwilling to let go of a trace of suspiciousness.
A lady An looked around and lowered her voice to explain, "You two can tell that the eldest son has been weak over the years, not because of the disease left behind, but because he was poisoned. The two young masters' bodies are also weaker than other children because of poisoning."
They actually told the truth about the poisoning!? Li Zhongming and his son were surprised, and they didn't understand what Lin Qingqian and Lin Jingxing wanted to do.
When A Po Zi saw that there was a hint of surprise in their eyes, she sneered in her heart. The things that were heartless and bad, the things that were done injustice will always be repaid.
"I'm obviously a relative, but I want to use such a bad move. Unfortunately, the young master and the princess left the capital and left the old house for many years. It's not easy to find evidence. Otherwise, the Lin family wouldn't have been able to make it easier." A woman An scolded indignantly.
What? Li Shihai and his son looked at An Po Zi in surprise.
"Who did you say poison?" Li Shihai blurted out.
Seeing this, Li Zhongming wanted to go forward and block his mouth.
"Old house, only they have the chance to attack the young master. They are not wary of being thieves day and night, do you think?" An Po Zi sighed, "If the second Prince hadn't been clever and had noticed someone tracking them on the road, and there were traitors around him, I still don't know that the young master was so sick because he was poisoned." An Po Zi seemed unintentional.
Li Zhongming and Li Shihai were overjoyed. If someone scapegoats, they wouldn't have to worry.
"What are the traitors you are talking about?" Li Zhongming asked deliberately in surprise.
"It's the Qin family next to my wife." A lady An threw the blame without hesitation.
"What about them?" Li Zhongming was also anxious.
"They were sold by the princess and the prince." A-male An completely cursed and became excited. "It is logical that the things that are exclusive, the heartless and ungrateful should be killed directly."
After several adjectives, Li Zhongming and his son became even more frightened.
Li Shihai's mind was very fast, and he pretended to curse a few words.
Li Zhongming was suspicious by nature, and he once again tried, "No, my father and I came to the door to take the pulse of the eldest son many times, but we did not find any signs of poisoning."
The father and son's eyes fell nervously on An Po Zi again.
An Po Zi shook her head, "It's three parts poisonous. The Lin family's method of poisoning is high. Maybe it's mixed in the usual snacks. Who would have noticed? You don't need to blame yourself. You didn't notice the eldest son being poisoned, and the other doctors didn't notice either. I can only say that those things are not human at all, and their methods are too ruthless."
When Li Shihai and Li Zhongming heard this, they were both unsure of their minds. They didn't know how many truths and lies were there in what Ancestor An said.
One thing is certain--------Lin Qingqian not only discovered that Lin Yuan was poisoned, but also discovered that Qin's mother's family was a traitor.
As for whether Lin Qingqian doubts them, it is hard to say.
The purpose of An Po Zi achieved his goal, and did not sit in the Li family for a while. After putting down the gift, he rushed back.
After a few words of politeness from Li Shihai and his son, he watched her get on the carriage.
The father and son returned to the house, looked at the pile of gifts, looking at them, "My son, what do you think of this?"
Li Zhongming shook his head, his heart was ruthless.
"Since the princess and the second young master did not doubt us, who would be the one who attacked us?" Li Shihai sighed. A knife hung over his head, which made him feel extremely nervous and very uncomfortable.
Li Zhongming sighed, he thought more, and based on his intuition, he felt that things were not that simple. But luck is a disaster, and the Li family could not escape it.
Thinking of this, he felt even more melancholy.
After A-Ma-Mr. An left the Li family, her face became completely cold.
When she returned to the mansion, she truthfully told several masters about the temptations of Li Zhongming and his son.
"I won't meet before the New Year. If they come to the door, find an excuse to send someone away directly." Lin Qingqian chuckled.
"It's just for nothing that they have another New Year." Lin Jingxing said angrily.
"Not necessarily." Zhao Jingyun chuckled.
Lin Qingqian also smiled, "How can they be satisfied with being forced to return to the capital?"
Zhao Jingyun slowly mentioned, "You may not know that Li Zhongming has never married on the surface, but in fact, he has at least four sons and one daughter."
"What?" Lin Jingxing's turn was surprised. He glared with his eyes wide open and asked in confusion, "Didn't Li Zhongming always like Lin Chuyun?"
"It's just a child raised in the outdoor room." Zhao Jingyun chuckled, "I know I can't do anything, but I can only think about it. Besides, I have to find an excuse to harm people. If a marriage can be accomplished if something unexpected happens, it is the Li family's great fortune. A few children in the outdoor room will be regarded as non-existent. If it doesn't happen, the story will be revealed, and the Li family has accumulated a lot of wealth through years of operation. The children are hiding in the dark, so the Li family will not lose the incense."
