So this letter was tossed around for several days, and it was not delivered to Su Jing until two days later. Along with the letter came the rubbing slip.

Shao Wenhong was also beside him, and the whole room was filled with the smell of medicine. Su Jing was lying on a bed covered with Nanhu brocade. Although her face was pale, her eyes were still sharp and translucent.

"Letter from Pingchuan County? Isn't that girl really going to borrow money? How much? Fifty thousand or one hundred thousand?"

Su Jing threw the letter to him and said, "Read it yourself." Then she covered her mouth and coughed violently.

For some reason, he seemed to be acclimated to the capital. He was just pretending, but he didn't expect to be really sick. Shao Wenhong had been recovering for several days, but he didn't feel better. On the contrary, there were signs of getting worse. They were both worried these past two days. very.

The Su family also has several houses in the capital. Some are bought by themselves, some are ancestral properties of the Su family, and some are rewarded by the imperial palace. The one he lives in now is the rewarded mansion closest to the imperial city. It has three rooms and two rooms. It is said that it was the first rank of the previous dynasty. The house of a high official was later confiscated and the family was exterminated, and the house was abandoned.

Mrs. Su had always felt that this house was unlucky and would not let him live there, but this time when he went to Beijing, he met the palace servant at the city gate and brought him here directly, saying that it was close to the imperial city and would be convenient for him.

But since he came in, even Shao Wenhong, a man who has always been open-minded, felt that there was a gloomy air inside and outside the house, which made people uncomfortable.

Today I transferred a few old servants from my ancestral home to clean up the house. I want to check it thoroughly to see if there is anything wrong. After all, the housekeeper didn't say how long he would be allowed to stay. If the housekeeper doesn't nod this time, he won't be able to live in peace. Leave Beijing and return home safely, unless...

Shao Wenhong couldn't help but laugh after reading the receipt, "I only borrowed 1000 taels, this girl is really conservative!"

"Ah!"

Shao Wenhong suddenly remembered something, "When we were leaving, that girl stopped me and asked me for something."

"What?" Su Jing didn't know this clearly.

"It's just... it's just for self-defense. She said she was afraid that she would be plotted when she was running around outside, so..." Shao Wenhong didn't dare to say what he gave. The things that the girl wanted were not ordinary and charming. , the medicine is very effective!
"She's quite scheming."

"It's natural. That girl looks reckless, but she actually has a plan!" Shao Wenhong wanted to say, no matter how scheming he was, wouldn't he still be tricked by you?

"Ahem!" Su Jing couldn't say a few words and started coughing uncontrollably. His back almost curved into an arc. I was really worried that he would stoop like this.

Shao Wenhong put away his joke and said seriously: "I have been thinking about it day and night these past few days. It seems that I always think about things too complicatedly, so that I ignore the most basic symptoms and appearances. If it were an ordinary doctor, I'm afraid that he would be able to It can be seen that you are infected with tuberculosis!"

When he said the last two words, his expression became more solemn.

"There are two causes of tuberculosis. One is long-term work, weak constitution, and long-term coughing that does not heal. Eventually it turns into tuberculosis and you slowly die of it. Obviously, you are not this kind. Your constitution is just weak, not weak. , Coughing and wheezing will only be exposed after being infected with wind and cold or taking medicine. I know all these things, how can I let you suffer from consumption! "

He thought for a while and paced around the room again, "If it's not the first type, then it's only possible that you were infected. You were infected with tuberculosis."

Once this idea came up, they both felt chills on their backs.

Su Jing looked up at the house in front of her and said with a wry smile: "It would be a good idea to let me die of a long illness."

Shao Wenhong sat down again, "It seems that you really have no way out. Does the prince have anything to say?"

Su Jing was lying on her back with her eyes in trance, "The emperor doesn't want to give him the throne anymore. He has to cut off his mother's support, and also remove me, who is in charge of money. The next step is to reduce his power. If the prince makes mistakes again, The next step is to be claustrophobic and not allowed to step out of the Prince's Mansion."

Shao Wenhong's heart felt like it was falling into an ice cellar, "Then, who is the prince that the emperor likes?"

Su Jing didn't say, no matter who it was, as long as the current crown prince was not in charge, it would be a disaster for the Su family.

I’ve already said it, since you can’t escape, let’s come!
Su Jing suddenly sat up and said, "Bring a pen and paper." "Yes!" Xing'er held the pen and paper in front of her.

Su Jing quickly wrote two letters, one to his mother. He knew that her mother must have read the letter. Based on his understanding of her, her mother would definitely send someone to check Shen Qing. This was absolutely not allowed. He didn't want to be exposed yet. Shen Qing.

Another letter was written to the shopkeeper of the Pingchuan branch of Jinxiu Bank, asking him to help Shen Qing at all costs and help her grow up as soon as possible.

The third letter was relatively long and was sent directly outside the customs.

The fourth letter was sent to the south.

The fifth letter was sent back to Jingyang Mansion, but it was not the Su family, but a remote mountain col.

In order to avoid being noticed by others, these letters were sent through an underground passage and from another street.

On the same day, Qiu Yu led a team of guards to guard the house.

There are twenty people in this team, but these are far from enough.

He has no official status and is only a businessman. Although he has a title, he cannot raise private soldiers. If he exceeds a certain amount, he will be punished for treason.

Tuberculosis is difficult to treat, so Shao Wenhong racked his brains to treat him and get rid of the root cause of the disease.

As for Shen Qing, she and Luo Qin carried nearly a hundred kilograms of silver back that day.

With such a heavy amount of money, they didn't care about eating and only bought some cakes to use as dry food on the road.

Because he was riding a horse and the money was in the bag, it was difficult not to attract attention.

Not long after leaving the county, Luo Qin quietly told her that they were being targeted.

Shen Qing looked back and saw that the section they were walking on was a mountain road with a wide field of vision, so she could see the two men two or three hundred meters away at a glance.

He was also riding on a horse. When he saw her looking back, he turned the horse's head in a very artificial way, as if he was about to turn, but it didn't move for a long time.

Luo Qin continued: "They have been following us since we left the city. I'm not sure if there is an ambush in front of us. What should we do? Do we need to change the route?" With such a heavy amount of money, just the two of them, if they encounter a roadblock, Yeah, it’s not easy to do.

"Change! I have to go back to town as soon as possible." I still have to change the silver into pieces of silver. I'm late, and the pawn shop should be closed.

So the two of them gave up the main road and took a small road, quickly getting rid of the two men.

I returned to the town without any danger, found a small pawn shop, exchanged 100 taels of copper plates, loaded the carriage with a basket, and hurried back to Wangjiazhuang.

As we approached Zhuangzi, we could see many heads gathering in one place from a distance.

Wang Wu led Niu Wa and sat at the entrance of the village, watching eagerly. When he saw the carriage approaching, Wang Wu breathed a sigh of relief and ran forward with Niu Wa to pick her up. "Girl, you are finally back."

Shen Qing opened the car curtain and asked, "What happened?"

Wang Wu said: "No, no, nothing happened. It's just the doctor invited from the town, waiting for the money!"
