Chapter Thirty: Water Surrounds the Clouds

Qin Wan was looking in the direction of the county government office when suddenly a large group of people and horses came from a distance and arrived in front of the county government office.

The leader was wearing white armor and was very heroic. He ordered a group of people to surround the county government office and led the remaining people into the county government office.

This formation is exactly the same as the previous raids on the palace's houses.

Qin Wan suddenly became interested and watched with interest.

Not long after, the sound of crying and shouting came from the county government office. After a while, the county magistrate Xu Zhi and a group of people were escorted out.

And coming out with them was the scholar.

Qin Wan narrowed his eyes and looked at them.

The scholar was walking with the general in white armor. The general was actually half a step behind the scholar, and his attitude was very respectful.

"My father and Mr. Shao are very grateful to you. Now that you have arrived in Huaiyang Mansion, why don't you go to Fucheng to stay for a while?"

The scholar smiled lightly and said, "No, I have other things to attend to. Who will Taiping County be in charge of now?"

"Master Shao asked Mr. Yuandu to temporarily act as county magistrate."

"Yuandu is an upright man and can manage affairs well. It is wrong for him to be the small magistrate of Taiping County. However, the disaster in Taiping County is serious now, and it is difficult for Yuandu to take on the big responsibility."

The general said: "That's why Mr. Yuandu is willing to take over. Mr. Shao ordered me to stay and listen to his orders to open canals and drain water. Taiping County is the lower reaches of Huaiyang County. There is no access here, and it is difficult to discharge floods upstream. This matter is the most important.

The weight of it.”

"If that's the case, then I'll feel at ease."

"Although the gentleman was awarded a title, he still cares so much about national affairs. I admire him very much." Song Xianian bowed to the scholar again.

The scholar sighed, laughed at himself, waved his hand and said, "Just take care of the funeral, I'm leaving."

With that said, before Song Xunian could stay any longer, he turned around and left.

He looked a little lonely.

Song Xunian also left with Xu Zhi and others.

After they left, Qin Wan came out of the darkness and pondered their conversation carefully.

It seems that the scholar who is afraid of dogs has an extraordinary origin.

The white-armored general was so respectful to him, and the words in his words conferring titles and honors...

Qin Wan suddenly thought of a strange person in the original book.

Could this person be the strange scholar Xu Yu?

Xu Yu used to be a counselor who followed Qin Tianfu to conquer the world. He was good at coming up with strange strategies. He never lost a battle wherever he appeared, and his prestige was very high under Qin Tianfu.

With Xu Yu inside and Xiao Lie outside, Qin Tianfu relied on these two people to win battles and conquer the world.

But after becoming emperor, Qin Tianfu showed his true nature. Xu Yu saw that he was a tiger and wolf, so he resigned from the title of Marquis of Wanhu and left in style.

Later, when heroes gathered around and Xiao Lie revolted, Xu Yu followed Xiao Lie. With their prestige, they quickly gathered hundreds of thousands of troops and marched to the capital.

I thought about meeting this person in the small county town outside Jingzhao Prefecture, and now seeing him again in Huaiyang Prefecture.

Qin Wan had a possibility in his mind.

Isn't this person following them all the time?

Or maybe, his goal is to follow Xiao Lie in Xizhou? That's why he goes with them?

However, according to the original book, Xu Yu should not have bad intentions towards them.

Suddenly, Qin Wan felt a little dizzy when she thought that she had shown her skills in front of this guy.

The day we first met, he said he looked familiar, maybe because he had met the original owner, right?

Xu Yu is not an ordinary smart person. If he follows them all the way and observes them secretly, her secret may be exposed.

No, you have to find a way to avoid him.

Back from the county town, Qin Wan brought another doctor to diagnose and treat Xiao Lie. Although the old doctor was still unable to detoxify like the previous one, she spent another two hundred taels of silver and looked through the medical books and notes in the doctor's home.

By repeating this process, within seven days, he had gone through all the medical books in the homes of doctors in Taiping County, and had become familiar with all the medicinal herbs in this world.

The poison in Xiao Lie's body is most likely a medicinal herb from the north of the Yan Dynasty, called Yuncong.

The book says that when water surrounds clouds, people turn into ghosts.

Yuncong will be toxic when it comes into contact with water. Although the toxicity is weak at first, if taken for a long time, when the accumulation reaches a certain level, it will make people unconscious and die day by day in their sleep, while Yuncong leaves no trace.

, it is difficult to detect the cause of death.

Qin Tianfu started his family from the north of the Yan Dynasty. The queen, many concubines in the harem, and many ministers in the court were all from the north. It was really difficult to judge who was responsible for this poison.

However, it can be seen from the poison that the person who poisoned him wanted Xiao Lie to die silently without disturbing anyone.

Since that person poisoned him, he would definitely pay attention to Xiao Lie's movements at all times.

Qin Wan looked at the exiled people in the cave. Perhaps, among these people, there were informants of poisoners.

"Wan'er..."

Mrs. Xu came to Qin Wan and said unspeakably: "A few days ago, my mother wrongly blamed you. You are so sincere to Lie'er, but I suspected that you were abusing him..."

After hesitating for a long time, she decided to speak out, otherwise the knot would remain in her heart and the rift would only get bigger.

Qin Wan said calmly: "It doesn't matter, I can understand. If I were a mother, I would be suspicious if I saw traces of needle pricks on Xiao Lie's body."

"You are a kind child. I really shouldn't doubt you. Don't blame me. I know that Lie'er is dying now. Even if he wakes up, he will still be a disabled person. Don't worry. When you get to Xizhou, if you want to marry someone else, I

I will never stop you, I will help you find a good home." Mrs. Xu held Qin Wan's hand tightly and said sadly.

Qin Wan was a little speechless. Just as she was about to speak, Chuni ran over from outside and said, "Princess, someone is looking for you outside!"

Is anyone looking for it?

Qin Wan was surprised that she didn't know anyone here, so why would anyone come here to look for her?

"Mom, let me go out and take a look." Qin Wan got up and walked outside.

There was a carriage parked outside, and outside the carriage stood a woman in yellow clothes with a parcel in her arms. The woman wore a gauze hat to cover her appearance, but judging from her graceful figure, she was definitely a beauty.

"Who are you?" Qin Wan had never seen this woman before.

The woman in yellow said, "Miss, do you still remember Lingxiu Bookstore?"

Bookstore? Qin Wan only went to the bookstore once, to buy medicine books. She never went there again, and she didn't pay special attention to the name of the bookstore.

"What's the matter, girl?" Qin Wan asked.

"My husband is the owner of Lingxiu Bookstore. He recently got a medical book. He heard that the girl had read all the medical books written by doctors in Taiping County, so he asked me to come over and give the medical book to the girl in exchange for some silver."

Then, the woman in yellow handed the package in her arms to Qin Wan, "Miss, please read the medicine book."

"Aren't you afraid that I won't give you any money after seeing it?"

The woman in yellow smiled and said: "The city officials and my husband are all good friends, and they all praise the girl as a person of faith."

Qin Wan took the medicine book and looked through it. Suddenly, his eyes noticed the word Yuncong. There was a solution below, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

She looked at the woman in yellow in surprise, "Does your husband really just want to exchange for some silver?"
