Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 291 Emergency

In the next few days, Cheng Guogong's mansion was all over the capital, almost door-to-door looking for quack doctors, but unfortunately they found nothing.

Well, it’s not entirely correct to describe it as nothing. When the yacha was helping Cheng Guogong’s mansion to find a quack doctor, because the search was too careful, some people who had done bad things were panicked and ran away when they saw the yacha.

As far as the Yacha is concerned, they are not man-eating tigers, they are not afraid of being caught if they have done something wrong, and they will not react in this way. Regardless of whether they are guilty or not, and whether someone has reported the case, they would rather arrest the wrong one than let them go. ...

First arrest, then interrogation, good guy, murderer, arsonist, stealer, adulterer, flamboyant... a lot of harvest.

The yamen arrested people for a few days, and Dali Temple was busy for a few days. Because it was related to Cheng Guogong's mansion and Zhennan Prince's Mansion, Dali Temple had attracted the attention of the emperor, and the minister of Dali Temple was even praised by the emperor in front of the court. Fan, the exaggerated Dali Temple Minister was a little smug, and the focus of asking the yamen to help find quack doctors had changed from finding people to catching criminals.

Cheng Guogong's mansion, the main hall.

Cheng Guogong sat on the arhat couch with a gloomy face, and after listening to the steward's report, there was still no news from the quack doctor, Cheng Guogong knocked the teacup in his hand heavily on the small table, and the hot tea dripped down. , the whole room did not dare to breathe heavily.

I don't know how many teacups Cheng Guogong smashed. The little girl is in pain. After all, this teacup can buy them a maid, but in the eyes of the masters of Cheng Guogong's mansion, the whole country The teacups in the mansion are nothing compared to the things that were looted by the prince of Zhennan, and they are not worth mentioning.

The eldest wife of Cheng Guogong's mansion said angrily, "After searching for so many days, there is no news of the quack doctor. This is unreasonable. The prince of Zhennan keeps complaining that his legs hurt. These days, who saw Zhennan? The palace sent people to look for quack doctors, and even the imperial physician didn't invite a few into the palace!"

The Zhennan Prince's Mansion is not short of money, all they want is to heal the legs of the Prince of Zhennan's heir, but what the Zhennan Prince's Mansion has shown does not match what it says at all!
Mrs. Cheng Guogong glanced at the eldest wife of Cheng Guogong's mansion, and said, "Do you suspect that the prince of Zhennan knows where the quack doctor is?"

The Grand Master of Cheng Guogong's Mansion took the lead, "I have asked the imperial physician that the prince of Zhennan's leg shows signs of daily injections, and it must not be broken for a day, otherwise the pain will be unbearable. These days, the prince of Zhennan has not I have never been out of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, even Chen Xiangxuan has rarely been out, so I suspect that the quack doctor is hiding in Chen Xiangxuan."

A dark light flashed in Cheng Guogong's eyes.

On this day, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and the clouds were white. It was a good day to enjoy the flowers in the garden. go.

Looking at the well-trimmed flower beds in the yard, which should be bare again, Ming Concubine asked, "Have you fed the fish?"

Xi'er hurriedly said, "I've already fed it, and I'll be able to hold on if I feed it again."

Xueyan knew that my concubine was bored, she couldn't go to the garden, her son had a leg pain, and her concubine would definitely not be able to go shopping, plus the carriage accident, even the concubine would not let her go out, life was very boring, these two days, concubine Shizi I prepared a lot of pills in the pharmacy, and I don't know when they will be used up.

However, Shi Zifei doesn't like reading very much, she lacks interest in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the only thing she is interested in is needlework, Xue Yan said, "Shi Zifei, why don't we go back to the house and do needlework?"

Ming concubine rolled her eyes, she was doing needlework, she might as well concoct pills.

Stepping forward, Ming concubine walked towards the backyard, before reaching the moon-shaped arch, she heard voices coming from the little maid with a shovel in one hand begging, "Just let me in, just for a while. "

The gatekeeper woman was unmoved, "The Master and Concubine have an order, without their permission, no one is allowed to enter the backyard!"

The little maid only begged, and she was probably about to cry from the sound.

Xi'er saw it and said, "What's wrong?"

Seeing Xi'er and Ming concubine approaching, the old woman hurriedly saluted and said, "This maid said that she hid some private money in the backyard earlier. Mother is seriously ill, and she is in a hurry to use the money, so she wants to dig it out for emergency."

The mother-in-law is not a cruel person, let alone such a filial maid, but even though she is guarding the gate, she is not allowed to enter the backyard. She can't let herself be punished just to help a little maid.

The little servant girl turned her head and knelt down to Concubine Ming, and said, "Concubine Shizi, please let the servant girl in."

There was nothing shady in the backyard, Ming concubine was about to nod when Xi'er asked, "Where did you hide the money, I'll get it for you."

The little girl's eyes flickered and she said, "Don't dare to bother sister Xi'er, I'll just take it."

Coincidentally, the servant girl dodged her eyes, and her voice trembled slightly because of a guilty conscience. It seemed that it was fake to go into the backyard to get money, but it was true to want to go in and have a look.

Ming concubine looked at the servant girl twice more, she knew that there was someone else's eyeliner in Chen Xiangxuan, it was inevitable, as long as the servant girl who served close to her was loyal and loyal, she didn't care so much, now it seems that she and Chu Mo every day Chen ran to the backyard, and sometimes stayed for a long time without allowing others to enter, causing some people to misunderstand what was in the backyard.

Xi'er just smiled and said, "If there's any trouble, don't worry about it, just say it."

The maid faltered, and Xi'er urged, "What? Are you afraid that I won't be able to deduct your money?"

The servant girl hurriedly said, "I don't dare, it's just that my servant's money is hidden in the bamboo forest, and I don't know how to describe which one it is..."

Xi'er looked at Ming concubine with a troubled face, the bamboo forest was so big that the servant girl couldn't tell, she couldn't dig all the bamboo forest.

As usual, Ming concubine would have let the servant girl in, but the servant girl didn't dare to look at her because of her dodging eyes. Ming concubine didn't want to let her in, so she asked, "How much money did you hide?"

The maid hurriedly replied, "Less than two taels."

It is not easy for a servant girl to save some private money, and she is afraid of being stolen, so she hides it even more carefully.

"Don't go in the backyard, Xi'er, give her three taels of silver."

After saying this sentence, Ming concubine stepped into the backyard.

Xi'er didn't say anything, as a rich maid, she didn't take three liang of silver too seriously, let alone a concubine with a big pocket.

The maids are talkative, if they find the pharmacy in the backyard, nothing will happen.

Xi'er took three taels of silver from her purse to the maid, and said, "Where did you hide your silver?"

The little girl took the money, and was very happy, and hurriedly told the place where the money was hidden. The girl thought she was very careful, but Xi'er could not hear it.

After asking for a long time, Xi'er finally found out the approximate location. Xi'er took the shovel from the maid's hand, entered the backyard, and went straight to the bamboo forest.

After a while, the sound of digging soil broke the tranquility of the bamboo forest.

Ming concubine stood at the head of the bridge, blowing the gentle breeze, watching the clouds rolling and relaxing in the sky, very comfortable.

After digging for a long time, Xi'er came over with an ordinary porcelain vase. The porcelain vase shook, and there was the sound of copper coins colliding inside.
