Peerless Pirates

In the early morning of August 22nd, Song Zheng did not go up to the west mountain again. He still didn't know how Old Man Gao's plan was going. If he was blocked when he went up the mountain, he would suffer an unreasonable disaster. He could only wait until the sun rose high to reach Songjiazhuang.

When all the villagers go to work in the fields, go to Xishan alone, so that you won't be suspected.

Since Song Jue received the letter of appointment from the Mizhou Academy of Arts the day before yesterday, he has dismissed his family studies and is waiting at home with peace of mind. On the one hand, he has to serve Mr. Song and fulfill his responsibilities as a son. On the other hand, he has started to pack up his books and wait for Mr. Song to recover from his illness.

After that, we can set off for Mizhou. Mr. Song's condition is much better than yesterday, and he can already move around. It is estimated that he will be fully recovered after taking two more medicines.

After breakfast, Song Zheng went to the east of the village and took a look at Old Man Gao's house from a distance. He saw Zheng Laosan walking over from Old Man Gao's house carrying two bags of medicine. Song Zheng asked: "Brother Zheng, is there no one in Dr. Gao's house?"

"?" Zheng Laosan said: "No one is there. The door of the house is locked. There is a note on the door, saying that he went to Wuduo Mountain to collect medicine and will come back in two days. He also put the medicine for my mother on the door.

At the door of the house. This tall doctor has thought very carefully, but I haven't given him the money for the medicine yet."

Song Zheng nodded and asked about Zheng Laosan's mother's illness. Since the story of Young Master Song's recovery from illness had already spread in Songjiazhuang, Zheng Laosan did not think it was strange and instead thanked Young Master Song for his greetings.

Song Zheng returned home, took some snacks and a book of poems, said hello to his family, and then went to Xishan. When he arrived at the foot of Xishan, Song Zheng arrived in front of Song Yu's thatched house first, but Song Yu was nowhere to be seen.

, probably went to the fields. Song Zheng thought that Qi'er went up the mountain last night and only brought dry food, not even water. He took a small jar from the courtyard, filled it with water, then went into the forest and touched Qi'er.

The child's hiding place.

Song Zheng looked around and saw that there was no one around. He called out "Qi'er" softly, and then moved a stone away. Qi'er exposed her head from inside, and saw that her face was pale and her eyes were full of bloodshot eyes. It seemed that

He hadn't slept all night. Seeing Song Zheng, Qi'er breathed a sigh of relief. Song Zheng handed the jar over and asked: "Is there anything unusual last night?" Qi'er shook his head and said: "No, it was just the wind on the mountain.

, I only heard some roaring sounds. When it was just dawn this morning, I heard faint yelling coming from the south, but it was too far away to hear clearly. Tell me, did Master encounter those bad guys? "

Song Zheng secretly exclaimed that something was wrong. It seemed that something unexpected had happened to Doctor Gao. The mountain was the quietest in the early morning, the wind had stopped, and the sound could be carried far away. However, he comforted Qi'er and said: "It shouldn't be the case. You didn't sleep all night.

I'm in a daze, I must have heard wrong."

Qi'er obviously didn't believe what Song Zheng said. She picked up the jar, drank a few sips of water, and looked directly at Song Zheng. Song Zheng quickly changed the topic, took out the snacks and the book from his arms and handed them over.

He went over and said: "Here are these snacks for you. My aunt gave them to me. You can try them too. There is also a book here, which I think will relieve your boredom."

Qi'er silently took the things and still looked at him. Song Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "After enduring these two days, I will send you to my third uncle. When everything calms down, I will let you resume your identity as a woman. You

Don't worry, I have already thought of a way to keep you safe. I can't stay here too long to avoid being discovered."

Qi'er nodded and turned his head away. Song Zheng picked up the stone again, blocked the entrance of the cave, got into the forest, and quietly returned home. In the afternoon, Song Zheng wanted to go to Xishan again, but Song Jue was

Stop. It turned out that Song Jue was about to leave, so he selected forty or fifty books from his collection and told Song Zheng to study them. He also asked Song Zheng to write a letter every month to report on his study situation and reading experience. Song Zheng knew

The day of freedom can be expected, and he does not care about being restricted by Song Jue for a while. As for learning experience and the like, Song Zheng can deal with it as long as he slightly interprets the views of Zhu Xi or Lu Jiuyuan (two major Neo-Confucianists in the Southern Song Dynasty), so it is also

do not worry.

That night, Song Zheng still couldn't sleep. I don't know if Old Man Gao's Li Daitao plan was hidden from his opponent. If not, it would be a bad thing. Although this plan is extremely detailed, if the opponent sees the flaw, the next one may suffer.

It's the Song family, but I have no choice. In just one day, I have no way to move this big family away. Besides, how can I tell this to the sick old man? This kind of person has no control over his own destiny.

It feels particularly uncomfortable.

In the early morning, before dawn, Song Zheng seemed to hear the door of the east courtyard. He thought to himself, after Xiaolian left, Xiaoping became more and more diligent, so she got up so early. Don't worry about it, life or death is a matter of fate.

, Wealth is in heaven, it’s useless to think about it, you’d better take a nap.

Song Zheng slept until three o'clock in the morning. Suddenly, Song Zheng was woken up by someone. When he opened his eyes, he saw Mrs. Zhu standing by the bed with tears in her eyes, crying: "Zheng'er, hurry up!

Get up quickly, your grandpa is dying." Song Zheng was so excited that he jumped up from the bed and ran out without even wearing any shoes.

When Song Zheng rushed into Mr. Song's room in the east courtyard, Song Jue was seen kneeling beside the bed, holding Mr. Song's hand tightly, with tears on his face, and kept shouting "Father". Mrs. Wu was sitting there choked with sobs.

At the head of the kang, the old man's face was ashen, his eyes were closed, and he was sitting leaning in Wu's arms. Song Zheng hurriedly put his hand under the old man's nose. His face was still warm, but he was still breathing.

Song Zheng shouted "Grandpa" and knelt on the ground with a plop, crying loudly. Mr. Song was completely symptomatic of poisoning. Song Zheng was 100% sure that Mr. Song was poisoned to death. In his previous life, he was a "confucian bandit" for many years.

Wandering outside, I did not feel the warmth of home. After coming to this world, Mr. Song cared for me very much. Although it was only a short two months, Mr. Song was undoubtedly the best person for me. He not only taught Xiao Yi Zhiquan

He also prepared exercise equipment for himself. He wanted to grow up wholeheartedly and make himself feel the warmth of home. Song Zheng respected this old man with a bold personality from the bottom of his heart. Now he was actually poisoned to death, Song Zheng

I immediately felt filled with grief and indignation, wishing I had a submachine gun in my hand to kill all the poisoners.

Mrs. Zhu also entered the room, knelt down side by side with Song Jue, and kept crying. At this moment, Xiaoping rushed in in panic and shouted: "It's not good, Doctor Gao and Xiaolian are both angry."

After hearing this, Song Jue and Wu both said "ah" and became shocked and frightened. Song Zheng instantly regained his composure, with a gloomy face, wiped away his tears and asked in a low voice

:"what happened?"

Xiaoping was trembling like chaff, and said intermittently: "I went to Doctor Gao's house to invite him to come and treat me. I saw the door of his house was wide open, and Doctor Gao and Xiaolian were lying on the ground, motionless. I pushed Xiaoping

She didn't respond even if I touched her nose. I was so scared that she ran back." After Xiaoping finished speaking, she glanced at Mr. Song on the kang and knelt down.

On the ground, he started crying.

Song Zheng suppressed his grief and asked: "What did my grandfather eat this morning?"

Wu twitched and replied: "I didn't eat anything, I just drank medicine. After a while, I complained that my stomach hurt, and I tried desperately to vomit. Then I rolled my eyes upward and trembled all over. I dismissed the little boy.

Ping hurriedly went to ask Doctor Gao to see if he had returned from collecting medicine. As soon as Xiaoping went out, your grandfather died. Wuwu..."

Song Zheng didn't say anything, and rushed out of the house and entered the east wing. The pot for boiling medicine was still there, and the medicine residue was still in the pot. Song Zheng found a chopstick and pulled it around, but found nothing unusual.

.He found the paper bag containing the medicine again and found some brown powder on it. Song Zheng gently picked up the millet-like bits and licked it with his tongue, which tasted like bitter almonds. Song Zheng nodded, and sure enough, it was

Arsenic is poisonous. Song Zheng did not dare to move any more. He left the east wing, closed the door, and returned to the house.

After Mr. Song passed away, everyone in the family panicked, but Song Zheng was extremely calm. He pulled his father Song Jue out and said, "Father, grandpa may have been poisoned to death." Song Jue's face turned pale when he heard this.

, regardless of wiping away tears, he asked in shock: "How do you know?"

Song Zheng said bitterly: "I have been reading medical books for a while, and I know that arsenic is the most common poison. Abdominal pain, vomiting, and convulsions are all symptoms of arsenic poisoning. I just arrived in the east wing and found some brown powder in the medicine bag.

It must be dyed arsenic."

Song Jue had never encountered such a thing before. He was extremely frightened and subconsciously asked: "What should I do?"

Song Zheng gritted his teeth and said: "Immediately send someone to Ju County to report to the officials. Don't touch anything in the east wing. In addition, the death of Doctor Gao may be related to the death of grandpa, and his family will also send two people to guard the door.

We will wait until the government comes to discuss everything. Next, we need to invite my third uncle to come back, my aunt, my mother and Xiaoping to prepare some expensive clothes for grandpa."

Song Jue stared blankly at the son in front of him, as if he didn't recognize him. The Song Zheng in front of him didn't look like a child at all. He was clearly an adult, like a little lion ready to choose someone to devour. Song Jue didn't have any idea at all.

I had no choice but to follow Song Zheng's instructions one by one. Finally, long-term workers Song Xiaosi and Erhei rode donkeys to report to the official, and the other two long-term workers were arranged to guard the door of Old Man Gao. Xiaoping and another long-term worker went to Shishan Town

Go buy white cloth to make mourning clothes.

Song Yu was also summoned. As soon as he entered the door, he threw himself on Mr. Song and cried so hard that he scratched his heart and liver. He was in extreme pain and finally fell to the ground crying. Apart from the knot in his heart, he no longer had any resentment towards the old man. Now,

He didn't even see him for the last time, so you can imagine the sadness in his heart. (Please add it to your collection, comment, and give me a flower!)
