The Wang family is a prominent family in Suzhou. When Lord Wang traveled the country in past years he was a famous knight-errant. For others he upheld justice, was kind and charitable, and made many friends. After he left the Jianghu he began to cultivate his life mentally and spiritually, and became Suzhou's renowned calligraphy expert and now he is a highly respected person of virtue and prestige. Whether it is the people of the Jianghu or Suzhou, he is revered.  If there is some important event, he will be invited.

As a result, knowing that he has been struck with poison, all parties are worrying incessantly.

Of course, Jianghu people who knew a little poison-medicine context, this trip are a bit eager to give things a try.

After all, it was an old thing of twenty years ago. Most of the vigorous young people can't understand the dignity of their predecessors. Perhaps they will all think of beheading the new Demon Head under their blade and making a name for themselves.

When Wenren Heng and Ye You arrived, they successfully roused the environment and the group of people took note.   

The cause is not Wenren Heng. Upon Ye You's neck was a “lantern,” which was a "crane in a flock of chickens"(stood out), especially with Wenren Heng by his side, therefore the whole way, people all could not help but look more with several glances.  

Ye You is still very calm, complying with his shixiong's words and unhurriedly followed him. He waited for him and the Wang family to meet and finish exchanging greetings, and they entered the front hall together.

Inside there already sat for a time eight or nine people.

Beneath the master seat there was a left and right seat, and at each seat there sat a man of fifty to sixty years old. Of these two men, one was plump and one was thin, one short and one tall. The short, stout man wore splendid garments and appeared to be squeezed into the chair, but he sat very properly upright. The thin, tall man wore a greenish-black suit and was like a simple and unadorned sharp sword, and faintly carried a sense of incisiveness.

The look of both of them was a bit serious, and the short, stout man's brows were slightly knit. At this time, he heard Wenren Heng come in, and his complexion eased a lot. Although there was no smile, for no reason at all one had the sense he wore a little smiling expression. It may be assumed that ordinarily he was a friendly person.

“Xiao Heng(1) also came.”

Wenren Heng first politely called “Elder Uncle(2) Wei”, only then did he say: “This younger generation heard about Lord Wang's business, and came to have a look.”

Short and Stout nodded his head : “This is?”

Wenren Heng said: “My shidi, Elder Uncle Wei had seen him before, I wonder if there is still any impression?”

Short and Stout stared, thinking for a moment, astonished, he said: "That time wasn't he the one… who wandered off lost? You found him back?”

“Yes, I just found him recently. His illness is better, but I don't know when he suffered injuries again. He doesn't recognize anyone.” Wenren Heng spoke, glancing toward his own shidi. “This is Feng Xian Manor's Manor Lord Wei. Come, call him Elder Uncle Wei.”

Ye You said: “Hello Elder Uncle Wei.”

“Good, good,” Manor Lord Wei smelled the scent of Hundred Herb Dew on his body, and once again looked at him. He asked, “The injury is very serious?”

Wenren Heng said: “Burn injury, smeared with Divine Doctor Ji's medicine.”

Manor Lord Wei said: “As it turns out, Divine Doctor Ji is also here. Allow him to again look."

“Really?” Wenren Heng's tone is just right, as if he is not looking for Divine Doctor Ji, and is here to look at Lord Wang, and insincerely courteous, he said, “Alright, we'll wait a few days for a chance.”

Manor Lord Wei nodded, and once again looked at Ye You, and with a sigh, said: “It's good you've come back. That time you were sick, becoming that sort, where you couldn't even eat by yourself. It was your shixiong who fed you spoonful by spoonful. For you he could have no small amount of worry.”

Ye You: “…”

Could it be that Wenren Heng didn't lie, he had really been foolish?

However, it is obviously out of place to explore these things now. Looking at the atmosphere in the lobby, he knew that things are not optimistic. To be able to chat a few words is already not bad. Wenren Heng can also naturally see it. Simply greeting the other people present, and he is ready to go out and find a place to reside, but first he listened to Manor Lord Wei say: “Xiao Heng, you stay.”

Wenren Heng did not decline, and accustomed, he found a place to sit down.

Ye You looked around and found that most of them were elders. His shixiong was the youngest inside, and he knew that Wenren Heng's status in the Jianghu was not low. He stood up for a moment, heard nothing, and whispered: “Shixiong, I want to go to the toilet.”

Wenren Heng glanced at him: “Go, and come back soon.”

Ye You decided to outwardly agree and inwardly rebel, and said okay. He turned and walked away. Unexpectedly, he looked up and saw a man dressed as a servant rushing in and he almost ran into him. He leaned sideways and watched the man run to the head of the Wang family. He still had a few sheets of paper in his hand and his mouth cried: “Master is not good!”

“Panicking what!” The Wang family head shouted loudly. “What's wrong? What is in your hand?”

The servant was sweating from his run, panting, he said an earth-shattering sentence: “It's… it's what the poisoned person's left, what they left.”

Every seat was alarmed: “What?”

Wang family head seized over the handful. After reading it, his face turned red, and the forehead's blue veins were highlighted. He is the second son of Lord Wang. His temper is very similar to that of Lord Wang. At this moment, he can be like this. One was afraid that his anger was not light. Everyone even thinks that him vomiting blood in the next moment would not be unexpected.

The head of Wang family firmly grasped the papers, his voice trembled: “Preposterous, simply preposterous…”

Ye You raised his eyebrows and returned to the side of Wenren Heng, this was about the poisoned person. He was willing to listen first and then go.

Wenren Heng was very pleased with his return. Although he knew that he was a little curious about this matter, he couldn't help but whisper a question: “You don't want to go to the toilet?”

Ye You said: “Not too urgent.”

Wenren Heng restrained a smile and saw the people in the room circulate the papers. Then he turned back and looked patiently. He said, “Come on, go and then return soon, don't make trouble, what you want to know, what is there I won't tell you?”

Ye You is not surprised at all. This person can guess that he wants to inquire about the news. He asked: “For example?”

Wenren Heng said: “At least the words I say to you, 90% are true.”

Ye You asked: “What is the untrue layer?”

Wenren Heng said: “You have been stupid for many years.”

Ye You suddenly felt that his entire body was happily free from worry. He thought these words were trustworthy.

Wenren Heng followed closely: “It's only that you were foolish for a few months.”

Ye You: “…”

Speaking again and again, it seems he was still stupid!
