Chapter 589 Preparing to Run a Newspaper
At dusk, the afterglow shines on the courtyard of the county government office, reflecting a golden color.
The government officials sent by Wang Liang returned in a hurry, with tiredness and a hint of helplessness on their faces.
"Sir, we went to Wang Fengli's hometown, and after careful investigation, we found that Liu Long is dead." The officials reported to Wang Liang respectfully.
Wang Liang frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"The county knows."
In this case, there is no need for Wang Fengli and Erzhu to stay here.
Wang Liang then sent someone to bring them over, then gave them rewards and asked them to go home.
The two people left happily. As for whether Liu Long was dead or alive, it had little to do with them.
They just need to be rewarded.
They were on the road together.
After returning home, Wang Fengli told the old woman that he had indeed made money.
"Old man, are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true. Isn't this right here?"
Wang Fengli took out a lot of money from his sleeves and placed it on the table. The old woman was filled with joy.
Wang Liang came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
"Your Excellency, Prime Minister, the government officials sent by your subordinates have returned. They have found out that Liu Long is indeed dead."
Xi Yu sat quietly on the chair, tapping his fingers on the table, seeming to be thinking about something.
"Could Liu Long's death be a ploy? Let a golden cicada escape from its shell." Such doubts arose in Xi Yu's heart.
Xiyu's eyes flickered as he was thinking about the possibility of Liu Long's death.
However, there is currently no conclusive evidence to prove this is a ruse.
Wang Liang looked at Xi Yu's thoughtful look and asked softly: "Prime Minister, what do you think?"
Xi Yu raised his head, looked at Wang Liang, and said slowly: "There is no evidence yet, so let's put this matter on hold for now. Maybe we are just too worried."
Wang Liang nodded.
"Forget it, let this matter come to an end. Wang Liang, please step back as well."
Wang Liang resigned, and the room returned to silence.
Jia Mansion.
In the living room, Mrs. Jia was sitting on the bench, her brows furrowed, and there was a hint of worry in her eyes.
She suddenly felt that things were not simple, and her husband's disappearance might have nothing to do with Xi Yu.
In the first few days, she was particularly excited, knowing that her husband was still alive.
Xiyu will definitely have some arrangements for her husband.
At that time, we will also contact ourselves through various channels.
But after a few days, he felt more and more that something was wrong.
She decided to call the housekeeper over and ask about the situation.
"Come here, call the housekeeper quickly." She ordered the maids around her.
Several little maids quickly went to call the housekeeper.
When the housekeeper learned that his wife called him, he didn't know what was going on.
"Do you know why Madam called me?"
"We don't know, so we'd better ask the housekeeper to go quickly." A little maid replied.
The housekeeper nodded and quickly came to Mrs. Jia's side.
Mrs. Jia asked all the maids to retreat.
"Madam, I don't know what's wrong with you."
"I suddenly felt that my husband's matter may have nothing to do with the prime minister. He should have been rescued by others."
But Mrs. Jia also said that if this was the case, she really didn’t know who rescued her.
"Butler, what do you think of this matter?"
The housekeeper stood aside and replied respectfully: "Madam, I don't know anything about this matter."
Mrs. Jia sighed slightly, clasped her hands, and continued: "Butler, do you have any ideas?"
The butler lowered his head and thought for a moment, then sighed, because he was also at a loss.
Mrs. Jia's mood became heavier and heavier.
She stared out the window, silently praying in her heart that she could find her husband's whereabouts as soon as possible.
After a while, the housekeeper finally thought of an idea, but he didn't know if it was suitable.
"Butler, if you have anything to say, just say it quickly."
The housekeeper said he could bribe a few government officials to see if he could get any clues.
Mrs. Jia thought about it and realized that this was a good idea.
So I asked the housekeeper to do this quickly.
The housekeeper hurried to the gate of the county government office.
Because of the dusk plan, several government officials were about to go home.
Sure enough, at dusk, several government officials left the county government office and prepared to go home.
The butler immediately appeared beside them and introduced himself.
"You are the steward of the Jia Mansion. Do you have anything to say to us?"
"You have been working hard on my master's affairs recently, and you have done a lot of good work, so on behalf of my wife, I treat you to a drink. I wonder if you are free?"
One of the government officials immediately said: "We don't know where your master is. Besides, your master has committed a capital crime. Why do you want to invite us to a drink?"
The butler continued to use his sharp tongue to persuade several people.
Several government officials looked at each other. There was an advantage to be taken, so why weren't they happy?
"Okay, in that case, let the butler lead the way."
Everyone was filled with joy, so they took a few government servants to a restaurant.
Slowly, he became familiar with several government officials.
He also began to get further into the topic.
Several government officials told him that Jia Xu's current situation seemed to have nothing to do with Xi Yu.
Based on a series of recent events, it was discovered that Xi Yu was not just trying to take advantage of the situation.
The butler sighed, it must be too much trouble.
Because we don’t know where Jia Xu is, so who rescued the master?
What is the purpose?
"Butler, don't think that if you treat us to a drink, we will turn on you. If one day you find out where your master is, you must tell us and accept legal sanctions."
"Yes, yes, you are right".
The housekeeper smiled dryly, naturally dismissive in his heart.
How could I betray the master?
After that, a few people stopped talking about business, and started talking about things all over the place.
It wasn't until after the wine shop dispersed that a few government officials were left reeling.
On the next day, several government officials came to the county government office. They remembered what happened last night and began to worry.
"We had a drink together last night. Will the county magistrate know about it?"
"Yes, if the county magistrate finds out, will he punish us?"
"What are you afraid of? So what if the county magistrate finds out? We haven't done anything bad."
"We didn't do anything bad, but now we are in contact with the Jia family's housekeeper, can this be a good thing?"
"Forget it, don't think about it so much now. Let's talk about it later if the magistrate really knows."
In a small room in Wen Liang's simple home.
Jia Xu lay on the bed and slowly opened his eyes.
But his eyes were confused, his expression was silly, he cried from time to time, and occasionally murmured to himself like a child.
Fang stood beside the bed, looking at Jia Xu's appearance, her brows furrowed, her tone filled with complaints: "Look at you, what can you do if you bring back such a fool?"
Wen Liang sighed helplessly.
"I didn't expect him to be like this. I originally thought I could help him find his family, but now I'm in trouble."
Jia Xu suddenly giggled and muttered some vague words, which made people confused.
Fang shook his head.
"Don't worry about it so much. Let's report it to the official immediately. We don't have the energy to take care of a fool."
Wen Liang said anxiously: "No, if he is framed like this, we will harm him and expose ourselves."
Fang said disapprovingly: "You just like to meddle in other people's business. It's okay now. You are causing trouble for yourself."
Wen Liang looked at Jia Xu and felt entangled in his heart. He knew that what Fang said was reasonable, but he felt that it would be hard on his conscience to ignore Jia Xu like this.
Finally, he decided to find a doctor to treat Jia Xu.
Fang was very angry after hearing this.
"This kind of disease may not be cured well by calling a doctor. Maybe he is born like this. We have to pay money to ask a doctor. I simply don't know why you insist on doing this."
"Madam, why do you say that?"
"What's wrong with what I said? Am I right?"
Wen Liang decided that the issue of principle must be discussed.
"Madam, you quarreled with me last night. You thought I was worthless and drank every day, right?"
"You're still talking about it, am I wrong?"
"You're right, don't you think I'm a good-for-nothing person? I want to do a good thing today. Is there anything wrong?"
This caused Fang to become speechless.
"Okay, in that case, go and ask the doctor."
On this day, Lei Tiangui came to a certain village.
There happens to be a tea shed here.
The sunlight shines softly on Lei Tiangui through the window of the teahouse at the entrance of the village.
He sat quietly by the window, sipping a cup of fragrant tea.
The tea room was filled with the faint fragrance of tea, mixed with the whispers of the villagers.
"Have you heard? There is a child prodigy in the next village!"
"Yes, I've heard about it too. Some people say that this is the Wenqu star descending to earth. He can compose poems at a young age."
When Lei Tiangui heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and the teacup in his hand trembled slightly.
I just need to find someone with wisdom, and then use it for the witches.
If there really is such a prodigy, that would be his goal.
He listened carefully to the words of several people and knew that the village was to the north.
After a while he got up and walked towards the village.
Entering the village, he saw a group of people gathered under a willow tree from a distance.
Lei Tiangui quickened his pace and walked to the crowd.
I saw a young child standing under the willow tree, with bright eyes and a confident expression.
He was reciting a poem he had written loudly, and the people around him were listening quietly, with expressions of wonder on their faces.
"What a poem!"
"This kid is really a genius!"
Lei Tiangui stood quietly in the crowd, looked at the prodigy, and thought to himself: "Is this the person I'm looking for?"
At this time, the child prodigy noticed Lei Tiangui, his eyes met with Lei Tiangui's, and then he continued to recite poetry with a smile.
Lei Tiangui took a deep breath and decided to wait for the prodigy to finish before communicating with him.
After a while, an old man came over. It turned out that he was the grandfather of the prodigy, and the prodigy rushed into his arms.
"Okay, don't show the child outside. Let's go home and have dinner."
"Grandpa, I'm not hungry. It's rare for others to be willing to communicate with me."
"You kid, even if we continue to communicate, you have to eat. Go back quickly."
The prodigy had no choice but to go back temporarily.
Everyone also dispersed, but Jia Tiangui followed quietly.
Jia Tiangui has rich tracking experience.
So he looked completely nonchalant when walking.
So the old man didn't know that he was following when he looked back occasionally.
Jia Tiangui finally watched the old man and the prodigy arrive at a farmer's home.
He wrote down the route to his house and left.
It's ready to go in the evening.
However, it is true that God does not follow people's wishes.
Not long after Jia Tiangui left, he met a man in black on the road.
The man in black only had one pair of eyes exposed.
Looking at Jia Tiangui sharply, Jia Tiangui immediately recognized that this was one of his enemies.
"I didn't expect that I would meet you in this place, so I must take revenge today."
"Very well, since you want to take revenge, then use your strength."
So the two sides started fighting.
Jia Tiangui underestimated the enemy very much, because he had fought with this person before, and this person was no match for him at all.
But today, he discovered that his underestimation of the enemy was a bad thing.
After not seeing each other for many days, the opponent's strength has increased.
He ended up getting hurt.
And his strength is indeed strong, and the other party cannot kill him.
He dragged his tired body and hurried to a cave for healing.
Within a few days, he would not be able to go outside for large-scale operations.
It seemed that the child prodigy's life was saved for the time being.
On this day, Su Yu had nothing to do at home and came to the Prime Minister's Mansion again.
I also know that this is a particularly disturbing time for Xiyu.
Then he really hopes to make a contribution and do something for Xiyu now.
When he came to the door and asked to see Xi Yu, the soldier told him.
Since the Prime Minister is in a bad mood now, he may not see him.
"Please let me know. If the Prime Minister really doesn't want to see me, I will leave."
The soldiers reported it anyway.
When Xi Yu learned that Su Yu had arrived, he sighed.
He was indeed in a bad mood, but now that Su Yu was urging him to do things, he couldn't be too negative.
"In that case, let him come in."
Xiyu is in the study.
Su Yu gently opened the door and walked into the room. When he saw Xi Yu, he bowed respectfully.
Su Yu said in a sincere tone: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, I understand your current mood very well, but you cannot collapse. Even if you are in a bad mood, you cannot stop what you are doing."
Xi Yu nodded slightly.
"You are right. I have indeed become a little negative these days. I am the backbone of the entire Youzhou and even the entire Central Plains. How can I be so depressed?" His eyes became firm, as if he had regained his confidence.
Xi Yu stood up, walked to the window, looked at the scenery outside the window, thought for a moment and then said: "I will start working on the newspaper right now."
A relieved smile appeared on Su Yu's face.
"That's very good."
Xi Yu turned around and looked at Su Yu, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes.
"Thank you for your reminder, otherwise I don't know when I can get out of the haze these days."
Xi Yu understands that immersing time in work will also make him feel better.
You will forget a lot of things.
As for being discussed by others, you shouldn't worry about it.
Let others say whatever they like.
As for Jia Xu’s whereabouts, we’ll talk about it later.
At this moment, Xi Yu also had a selfish thought.
If Jia Xu really can't be found, maybe it's really a good thing.
It's not that I don't kill him, but that I really can't find him.
Wen Liang found several doctors, but no one could make Jia Xu feel better.
Some doctors said that they had never seen anything like this.
It was already dusk, and Wen Liang was feeling a little hungry. Today he only invited the doctor and didn't even eat.
He had found all the doctors in the surrounding corridors.
Fang is also busy today.
Although Jia Xu has lost his memory now and is like a child, he will not miss out on eating, drinking and eating.
Especially at noon, Jia Xu ate a lot, which made Fang cook a little more.
Fang cried angrily, and then complained even more.
"I asked you to mind your own business, but you do it anyway. What's the result? This is simply asking for trouble for yourself!"
Wenliang sighed and told his wife not to be discouraged.
This matter has been decided by oneself.
"Okay, do whatever you like."
Wen Liang said that a doctor would come in a while, and if that didn't work, he would go to the county town to ask for one tomorrow.
"There are many people in the village who are helping, and you brought this person here, but why don't others care about this matter?"
"What are you talking about? It would be nice if someone could help me. Really, if you say one more thing, I will divorce you."
Fang was so angry that she stopped talking.
There was a tense atmosphere in Wen Liang's home. After a while, a doctor carrying a medicine box slowly walked into the room.
The doctor was an old man, with wrinkles on his face and wisdom in his eyes.
After carefully checking Jia Xu's condition, he shook his head helplessly.
The doctor frowned and asked softly: "Who is this of yours? The situation is a bit strange."
Wen Liang stood aside and replied anxiously: "I just accidentally discovered him on the road. I don't know his origin."
After hearing this, the doctor showed a look of appreciation on his face.
"You are such a kind person, you can be so caring to a stranger."
Wen Liang sighed helplessly,
"I just want to do my best to help him. Doctor, is there any way you can cure him?"
The doctor shook his head.
"His condition is quite complicated, and I am at a loss for the time being. However, I think there is one person who can certainly do it, and this person is Hua Tuo."
Wen Liang was stunned. There was actually someone alive who changed his name to Hua Tuo.
"Who is the doctor? Where is he?"
"He and I once studied medicine together. He was very accomplished and talented, but I was a half-baked student. His name is Song Shuwen, and he is now in the Prime Minister's Mansion. But if you go to find him, I'm afraid it will be difficult. ”
