The exquisite space of the ruffian concubine

Chapter 43

"Miss Comb, you... did you escape?" Sister Zhang asked suspiciously.

Meng Xiaoshu nodded: "Don't be afraid, I won't implicate you. It's just that Gu Zhiyuan, the Ninth Young Master, got a sudden illness in prison, so I want to borrow your place to treat him."

"Hey, where is it? If it wasn't for you and the ninth son, where would this restaurant come from?" Sister Zhang waved her hands again and again, and what she was most afraid of was that Meng Xiaoshu would cheat on her, "Let him rest here, he needs to buy What kind of medicine, just say it, let me buy it."

"Bi Lan, who's here?" Mrs. Wang's voice came from upstairs.

"It's Miss Comb!" Sister Zhang didn't dare to say it out loud, and lowered her voice slightly.

"What?" Mrs. Wang's ears were obviously not very good, and she couldn't hear clearly for a while.

"It's me." Meng Xiaoshu said, walking upstairs quickly.

Li Wutao also went upstairs with Gu Zhiyuan on his back.Sister Zhang followed at the end, seeing Meng Xiaosuo, who was always calm and calm on weekdays, showing a trace of panic between her brows, she knew that this matter should be more difficult.

"It's you?" Mrs. Wang was taken aback. Seeing their appearance, she guessed that they must have escaped from prison. She immediately opened the door and asked Li Wutao to put Gu Zhiyuan on the bed, and asked, " what happened to him?"

"I'm suffering from the wind and cold, and I have a high fever." Meng Xiaosuo frowned, and said, "Sister Zhang, please help me get some antipyretics."

Zhang Bilan nodded quickly, took some money, and went out to the pharmacy.

"I'll go and catch Duan Tai." Li Wutao turned around and wanted to go out.

"Wait!" Meng Xiaoshu stopped him, "I'll go with you after the medicine is given to Gu Zhiyuan."

The medicine was bought back quickly, but after the decoction was finished, the problem came.

"Miss Comb, Master Ninth is unconscious, how can I feed this medicine?" Sister Zhang asked hesitantly.

Meng Xiaocom bit her lip, remained silent for a while, and said, "Bring the funnel."

Although Sister Zhang was puzzled, she quickly found out.

Meng Xiaocom fixed the lower half of the funnel between Gu Zhiyuan's teeth, cooled the medicine spoon by spoon, poured it on top, and fed it to Gu Zhiyuan in this way.

Sister Zhang looked at it for a while, and found it quite novel, she said with a smile: "Miss Comb, you really have a way. By the way, do you like braised fish or twice-cooked pork? Big sister will cook it for you tonight."

"No need, just eat something casually." Meng Xiaoshu said while feeding the medicine carefully so as not to spill the medicine juice outside.

"Okay, I'm going to buy some good food." Sister Zhang pushed the door open with a smile and went out. Meng Xiaoshu and the Ninth Young Masters finally came out, so they had to celebrate.

Li Wutao has been standing aside, silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "At first, I suspected that you were a spy sent by the enemy."

"Really?" Meng Xiaoshu glanced up at him, feeling that this person was very strange.

"Now it seems that it should not be the case," Li Wutao continued.

"Why?" Meng Xiaocom was curious.

"False can't be true, real can't be fake, some things can be judged from the details." Li Wutao took a deep look at her, and said meaningfully, "But it's a pity that the ninth son has already made an appointment with another woman. married."

"Why did you tell me this?" Meng Xiaocom pouted.

Li Wutao reminded: "Because the woman who made an appointment with him is not an easy person to get along with."

"What does it have to do with me?" Meng Xiaoshu still looked calm, but the hand holding the medicine trembled slightly.

"You..." Li Wutao sighed and shook his head, "I just told you something."

"Well, I heard, your goal has been achieved." Meng Xiaoshu finished feeding the last spoonful of medicine, put down the bowl, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Li Wutao didn't react for a while.

"Look for that Duan Tai to settle today's account." Meng Xiaosuo said with a sneer.

……

……

At this time, Duan Tai was sitting in the small treasury, looking carefully at the little golden Buddhas that were just put into the treasury today.

There are nine golden Buddhas in total, about the size of a palm, and all of them are smiling.

"Sure enough, it was made by a famous craftsman in the capital. You can tell that it must be of great value when you look at the workmanship." He narrowed his eyes and said tut-tsk.

"It's really good." A voice came from behind him.

"Who?" Duan Tai turned his head abruptly, and saw a face with a calm expression, "It's...it's you?"

"Of course it's me, not me, could it be a ghost?" Meng Xiaocom raised his eyebrows.

Duan Tai was taken aback for a moment, then he said angrily: "The last time this place was stolen, could it be you who did it?"

There was clearly a servant outside, how did Meng Xiaoshu get in?
He looked around anxiously, wanting to shout for help.But a hand that came out of nowhere tightly covered his mouth with lightning speed.

The owner of this hand is Li Wutao who came with Meng Xiaosuo.

"That's right." Meng Xiaoshu nodded, with a smile on his face, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "Last time, I only stole 22 jade bracelets, eighteen gold bars, and six or seven silver bars from you." But this time, you are not so lucky, because what I want is your life."

"Hmm..." Duan Tai struggled desperately, his fleshy face flushed red.

Meng Xiaocom picked up the small golden Buddhas in front of him, and casually played with them: "It was made by a famous craftsman in the capital, and it is really exquisite. Tell me, who gave it to you?"

Li Wutao sneered, and leaned into Duan Tai's ear and said, "It's best not to yell, I have enough time to kill you more than ten times before you call your servant over."

Duan Tai trembled all over, cold sweat dripping down his back.

Only then did Li Wutao let go of the hand covering his mouth, but with the other hand, he took out a dagger from his bosom and pressed it tightly against his neck.

"You... who are you guys? If you annoy me, but... don't be too hungry?" Duan Tai threatened softly.

"It seems that you really don't understand." Meng Xiaosuo walked up to him, and slapped his shoulder with his backhand, only heard a slight "crack", which was the sound of dislocation of muscles and bones.

Li Wutao immediately covered Duan Tai's mouth again, and blocked his crying wailing in his throat.

The corner of Meng Xiaoshu's mouth twitched slightly: "I know many methods of interrogation, but I haven't used them for a long time. I don't mind practicing on you."

"How about it, say it, or not?" Li Wutao asked with a straight face.

Duan Tai was in dizzy pain, hating himself for not passing out, how could he have the guts to say no, so he quickly nodded his head.

Li Wutao let go of his hand, but did not remove the dagger.The sharp blade that shone with cold light directly touched Duan Tai's Adam's apple, making him dare not even breathe wildly.

"This little golden Buddha is... a gift from the seventh son." He said tremblingly.

"Seventh Master?" Li Wutao's face suddenly turned sharp, "What does he want you to do to Ninth Young Master?"

"He wants me to imprison the Ninth Young Master and not release him without his order." Duan Tai glanced at Meng Xiaosuo, then at Li Wutao, and asked timidly, "Are you really from the Ninth Young Master? Could it be... Could it be that the Seventh Young Master sent me to test me?"

"So what if it is, and what if it is not," Meng Xiaosuo's expression remained indifferent, as if he was not trying to force a confession, but was discussing what to eat today, "Now you have fallen into our hands. What do I ask, what do you answer, Where is there so much nonsense?"
