Chapter 1958 The person I really need is you
"Be more efficient!"
Zhou Lie's voice was low and he kept urging.
The last bag of grain was brought in and Zhou Lie counted the number.
Yinding had just observed clearly that there was no one living in this house, so why put the grain here? Those old and low-quality grains would not even be eaten by dogs, so what was the point of using them?
There must be something strange about this house. Maybe it's just a transit point.
Zhou Lie counted the number and waved his hand for the team to prepare: "Those unloading the trucks, please stay where you are and repair them. Those escorting, please follow my instructions!"
He waved his hand, and one of his men came out: "Escort, follow me."
Wu Liang asked quietly, "What does this mean? You won't let us go back to where we used to live?"
Yin Ding nodded. "That's right. They are cautious in their actions. I'm afraid this is just a test run. They will give us more important tasks next time."
Wu Liang wanted to say something, but Yinding shook his head, so he immediately shut up and said no more.
Yinding moved among the crowd, his eyes always fixed on Zhou Lie - as expected, Zhou Lie did not go with them, but walked into the house alone.
It's impossible to just leave like this, Yinding thought as he glanced around.
The prince said that there would be secret guards following him.
Now is the time to take advantage.
He made a special gesture.
Then he whispered a few words to Wu Liang, who nodded. As they turned the intersection, the lanterns on the carriages suddenly went out at the same time.
Several masked men in black rushed out of the darkness. They were like ghosts emerging from cracks in the ground, and the daggers in their hands drew cold arcs in the moonlight.
"There are assassins!"
Wu Liang pinched his throat and yelled, and the guards drew their swords, but they were caught off guard and were facing Huo Changhe's secret guards. Although they had more people, they did not have the upper hand.
The silver ingots slipped into the shadows amidst the dust raised by the overturned grain cart.
The sounds of weapons clashing and shouting mixed together as the silver ingot rushed all the way back to the house.
The red door was ajar. Yinding held his breath and pushed the door open. Sure enough, the people who had just unloaded the car had been taken away, and Zhou Lie was nowhere to be seen.
He jumped over the courtyard wall and looked at the house next to him. He saw a man carrying a lantern. It was Zhou Lie.
Yinding sneered silently, jumped onto the treetop quietly, and followed Zhou Lie to a garden.
Looking through the gaps in the leaves, Zhou Lie saw a man coming towards him. It was Ding Hengshou, the governor of Rongzhou.
"The food that Master Jiu promised you has arrived." Zhou Lie said in a low voice, "It's all in the house next door. I'll have someone transport it directly to your warehouse later."
Ding Hengshou was overjoyed and quickly bowed, "Thank you, Chief Steward Zhou! You really helped me out in this emergency!"
His voice trembled with fear, "I just received a message from the Liu Mansion saying that the grain will be shipped tomorrow, and my warehouse is still empty..."
"Don't worry." Zhou Lie said with a smile, "Master Jiu said that Lord Ding's affairs are his affairs. I will never break my promise to you."
Ding Hengshou thanked him repeatedly, and Zhou Lie turned around to say goodbye. The silver ingot moved slowly down under the cover of leaves, and suddenly stepped on a thin branch and broke it. The light sound of it snapping was particularly clear in the silent night.
The voice stopped abruptly, and Zhou Lie's voice sounded with caution: "Who?"
The silver ingot held its breath, clinging to the tree trunk like a leaf. Zhou Lie's eyes scanned the yard like a hawk, while Ding Hengshou followed him, his face pale.
The wind rustled through the locust leaves. Zhou Lie turned around twice but found nothing.
Ding Hengshou said in a dry voice, "Owls often live in this yard."
Zhou Lie looked up at the branch, snorted coldly, and turned away.
The moment he came over, the silver ingot had already left.
When he returned to his original position, the fight was almost over. Seeing the gesture he made, the secret guard whistled and left quickly.
Yan Ruyu has been in Su Jingzhuo's yard for four hours.
The smell of medicine filled the entire yard.
Su Jingzhuo was injected with a sedative and fell into a deep sleep.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, he was cleaned, his clothes changed, and his hair tied up.
Su Shengsheng saw hope in a series of operations.
"Doctor, can my elder brother really be cured?"
Su Zhenhai pursed his lips and held his breath.
Yan Ruyu used a needle to prick Su Jingzhuo's finger.
This is the silver needle given to her by Doctor Cao. It is specially made so that it can be used for piercing. The needle is hollow and can be used to suck in a little blood, which can also be used to test poison.
Yan Ruyu dropped some blood onto the test paper for later testing.
As for the poison, there was no need to test it. The moment she touched Su Jingzhuo, an alarm sounded in the space.
As long as it is poison, it is easy to deal with. If there is poison, it can be cured. Even if the person cannot be 100% cured, at least 70% to 80% can be recovered.
But Yan Ruyu couldn't say this to the Su family father and daughter.
After putting away the test paper, she turned her head to look at Su Shengsheng.
"There is hope, but you have to do as I say."
Su Shengsheng's eyes lit up: "Okay, you tell me, I will do it."
Yan Ruyu wrote a prescription and gave it to Su Zhenhai.
"Envoy Su, please prepare the medicine according to the prescription."
Su Zhenhai nodded: "Okay, I'll send someone immediately..."
"You have to go in person," Yan Ruyu interrupted him, "I don't trust others."
Su Zhenhai was stunned, but still agreed: "Okay."
He took the prescription and left.
Su Shengsheng said, "Doctor, we have a lot of medicine in our storehouse. Since my eldest brother recovered from his illness, we have collected all kinds of rare and precious herbs..."
Yan Ruyu smiled and turned up the candlelight: "That's not important."
"Ah?" Su Shengsheng was stunned and didn't react.
"I said, that prescription is not important," Yan Ruyu said in a soft voice but firm tone.
"What's important is what happens next, Miss Su. I can see that your father still has some doubts about me, so the person I really need is you."
Su Shengsheng opened his eyes wide and looked at Yan Ruyu in disbelief.
This person is so brave!
So young, yet so courageous and confident!
Su Shengsheng was annoyed for a moment, but for some reason, when he saw Yan Ruyu's eyes, he felt that he should listen to him.
Su Shengsheng loosened his clenched hands: "Okay, go ahead."
Yan Ruyu asked, "Brother, how did you get sick? Tell me everything."
Su Shengsheng moved his lips, and Yan Ruyu added, "Tell the truth, speak clearly. If you hide something or don't believe me, I will leave immediately."
Su Shengsheng gritted his teeth and said, "You've only been in Rongzhou for a short time, so you haven't seen the water god sacrifice yet, right?"
Yan Ruyu nodded slowly: "I haven't seen it, but I've heard of it."
"Sacrifices to the water god are necessary," Su Shengsheng said, his eyes flashing with disgust. "This method is too evil. How can it be like a normal god?"
"My eldest brother has talked to my father several times and wants my father to come forward and ask Governor Ding."
"But, I've asked and talked to him, but that old guy surnamed Ding..." Su Shengsheng gritted his teeth, "He doesn't do anything at all."
"The sacrifice should be carried out as it should be. He doesn't care at all. The Liu family is still the Liu family, and they have absolute power in Rongzhou City."
"How can my elder brother swallow this?"
