Poor Family Chapter 652

  Chapter 652 Cai's accident

  On the afternoon of the sixth day of the first lunar month, a large carriage came galloping from the street. A dozen guards on both sides were extremely anxious. They made a turn at the gate of Cai's Mansion and entered the gate of Cai's Mansion directly.

   "Hurry up and invite the doctor, Ya Nei was bitten by a snake!" a guard shouted hissingly.

'What? Big winter was bitten by a snake. ' The steward was at a loss, but when he saw the little official in the carriage with his face blackened and his whole body twitching, he was so frightened that his legs trembled, and he turned around and ran outside the gate of the mansion.

After a while, an old doctor followed the butler and ran into the gate with a medicine box. At this time, Cai Wei had been carried out of the carriage, lying on a stretcher, covered with a quilt, although separated by the quilt, He was still twitching.

  Cai Jing also rushed out after hearing the news. He was supported by two servants, staring blankly at his son on the stretcher, with pain on his face.

The old doctor sighed inwardly, his face was so dark that it was difficult to cure him, he knelt down and rolled Cai Kuang's eyelids, shook his head and said to the butler, "The pupils have diverged, even if the gods come, there is no way to save them. "

  Cai Jing could hear clearly, his eyes darkened, and he fainted immediately. The youngest son, Cai Xiu, quickly supported his father and shouted: "Father! Father!"

  The old imperial doctor ran forward again and pinched Cai Jing's people. Cai Jing slowly woke up, but burst into tears, "I will be a son-in-law in 20 days. How can I explain this to the officials?"

  Cai Xiu hastily saluted, "Physician Wen, think of a way again! My fifth brother is going to be a son-in-law soon."

The old doctor smiled wryly and shook his head, his pupils were dilated, what else could he do to save him, but he still cut open his trousers with scissors, the wound was on his calf, the whole calf was swollen like a hippopotamus leg, black and shiny, he Make a cross on the wound with a dagger to let the poisonous blood flow out slowly.

   "This snake is too poisonous, what kind of snake bit Ya Nei?" The old doctor asked, frowning.

  A guard tremblingly said: "It's Coral Snake!"

  The old doctor exclaimed, it was actually bitten by a coral snake, and there was really no cure for it.

  Cai Xiu frowned, "What's going on, why are there snakes in winter?"

"When going up the mountain, His Royal Highness Kang Wang found a frozen silver ring snake coiled together on the side of the road. His Highness Kang Wang reminded everyone that this snake is very poisonous and told everyone not to touch it, but when he went down the mountain, the snake disappeared. Everyone didn't care, but not long after getting into the carriage, I heard Ya Nei's screams, yelling that he was bitten by a snake, we searched the entire carriage, and a corona snake swam out from Ya Nei's back cushion.”

  Cai Xiu was very dissatisfied immediately, and asked angrily: "What do you mean by this? It means that my fifth brother hid the snake himself, and did it on his own?"

  The guards didn't dare to say a word, this is obvious. Could it be that Wu Ya Nei will be killed by someone?

  Cai Xiu was a little skeptical. After all, it was winter and the snakes were dormant. How could there be such a coincidence that a highly poisonous coral snake appeared? His fifth brother is not a stupid person, how could he carry a poisonous snake in his arms.

   After pondering for a moment, he asked again: "Is there any guard around the carriage?"

   "Yes! Three carriages are parked at the foot of the mountain, and a dozen brothers are watching over them."

When he said this, the head guard didn't know what to do. He knew that those **** wouldn't just sit beside the carriage. They would probably gather to gamble and drink. How could they stare at the carriage? But he didn't dare to say that. Speaking out will not only make a group of people unlucky, but the poisoning incident in the yamen will turn into murder, and they will be inseparable.

  At this time, there was a lot of crying nearby, Cai Xiu secretly cried out that something was wrong, and saw his father crying on top of Fifth Brother, and several concubines of Fifth Brother were also crying like tears.

  The old doctor shook his head at him and sighed: "The poisonous blood is attacking my heart, I have tried my best, let's start preparing for the funeral!"

  Cai Xiu seemed to be struck by lightning. In 20 days, the fifth elder brother would become a son-in-law. If he died at this critical moment, what would it mean to the Cai family?

Just after the New Year, the news that the son-in-law-to-be was bitten to death by a snake spread all over the government and the public. Although being bitten by a snake in winter is unimaginable, it is not as good as the rumorer's mouth-bright lotus. A snake was put into his bosom, but the poisonous snake woke up and went down after a bite.

   This version is the most widely circulated. Although it explained the abnormal phenomenon of snakes in winter, it still made the official Zhao Ji very angry, and ordered Kaifeng Mansion, Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment to jointly investigate the matter thoroughly.

The three law enforcement agencies investigated this matter for more than a month, and finally came to the conclusion that the cause of death is unknown. How the poisonous snake appeared, there is no way to find out.

  Although some people thought of the underground black market, the snake seller fled without a trace after hearing that Cai Yanei was bitten to death by a poisonous snake.

  Although many people have thought that it might be Cai's son-in-law competitor, who is the son-in-law's competitor? Unexpectedly, this incident was gradually forgotten after March.

  Because Zhao Fujin has completed the dowry process, she is already Cai Yu's fiancée in name, and cannot remarry immediately. She must observe the festival for one year, and then find another son-in-law.

Time flies to May, and the weather is a bit hot. The biggest feature of Jingzhao Mansion is that it gets cold quickly and heats up quickly. After September, there will be chills, and just after May, the sky will start to burn. Typical Spring and autumn are short, winter and summer are long.

  Li Yanqing is also very busy these days. He is single in Jingzhao, and originally lived in the military barracks, but if his wife and children want to come over, he has to arrange an official office.

Li Yanqing originally had a government office covering an area of ​​five acres, but in order to allow Wang Gui to take a concubine smoothly, he gave up the government office to Wang Gui. For the sake of her mother's official residence and her husband's promotion, she can only let Wang Gui's concubine in.

Tang Yuan'er is not stupid, she knows that the Wang family attaches great importance to the succession of the family, and Wang Gui's parents have gone to Taiyuan to visit their second daughter-in-law and grandson. Yanqing, that's her husband's immediate boss, so after a few nights of punishing Wang Gui severely, she finally let go.

The family members of Wang Gui and Liu Kai both moved to Jingzhao in early April, a month earlier than Li Yanqing's family members. However, there are still many official residences in Jingzhao Mansion. It's just a matter of location and size. Ma Shan personally accompanied Li Yanqing to choose five residences, and finally finalized the official residence.

  The official residence is not far from Qujiang, and the famous Qujiang Wazi in Jingzhao is only 200 paces away.

Li Yanqing liked this official residence mainly because of its water view. Most of the houses near the Qujiang River are famous for their water view. This official residence is no exception. It covers an area of ​​fifteen acres, and the water area alone has five acres. The small bridges and flowing water in the mansion are converging into a small lake. The lake is sparkling, but there are pavilions, pavilions, flower pavilions and waterside pavilions. However, it is still a world of ice and snow, but there is another kind of northern style. If it is not for Ma Shan Li Yanqing will jump on the ice and slide around for a while.

   "Fellow, is it really decided?"

  Li Yanqing nodded with a smile, "Just this house! I don't bother to look at anything else, but isn't fifteen acres too big?"

  Li Yanqing was worried, but Ma Shan was noncommittal, "It's the advantage of being a local official. The official house can live in a larger space. In fact, 15 acres is not too big, but the house of the government office is 20 acres!"

"The man from Fuya" refers to Yang Xuzhou, the magistrate. The two fought for more than a year, but neither of them killed the other in the end. The bit' instead.

   "Old Ma, if you don't look up and see you down, why bother? In the end, you make yourself unhappy, even if you pretend it's fine, don't be so hostile!" Li Yanqing persuaded Ma Shan earnestly.

"I would like to relax, but what about that one? But he never gave me a good face, and let him talk about everything. I am a person who respects me a foot, and I return a foot. People bully me for a mile, and I pay back ten miles, and there is always a clear distinction between grievances and grievances!"

   Li Yanqing was amused, and he didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore. These two people were already enemies in the officialdom, so there was no point in persuading them. It wouldn't do him any harm to let them continue to fight.

   "Finding a house this time is really hard, Brother Ma!"

   "Where! Where! It's easy to do, by the way, when will the siblings come over?"

   "It should be two days."

   "Ah! There are still a lot of things missing in the room, let me add them!"

  Li Yanqing hastily declined, "Brother Ma's kindness is appreciated by me. This matter has already been entrusted to Commander Wang's wife, and she probably has almost finished the purchase."

  Ma Shan chuckled, "Since that's the case, I won't ask any more questions. If you need anything else, just ask, and I'll take care of it properly."

In fact, Li Yanqing still likes Ma Shan very much. Although Ma Shan is average in ability, he is very loyal. If you meet his eyes, he will show his heart to you. If you make him feel disgusted, he will not hesitate Li Yanqing didn't want to offend him if he stabbed you, so he just stroked his hair. There are still many places where he can be used for this kind of local snake.

Li Yanqing felt that he should be wary of Yang Xuzhou, that person is too shady, and he is polite on the surface, but if he has something in his hands, he will not hesitate to expose it. The best way to deal with this kind of person is to stay away from him. .

  On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, Li Yanqing's family finally arrived at Jingzhao Mansion.
