Records of the Cattle and Horses of Chang'an

Chapter 449 Complicity

"Well... let's wait a little longer. After all, the patient fell ill right outside our shop. It would be more reassuring to wait for the doctor to come and see him. You two gentlemen should also study, right? I don't want to delay your studies, so I will watch over you from here."

The performance of the veteran artist, Mrs. Xia, was perfect. From small movements to facial expressions, she perfectly portrayed the image of a simple, enthusiastic, and kind-hearted person.

Who would have thought that she was afraid that after she left, the doctor would come and the shameless Qi Sanlang would wake up and still want to blame them.

She was thinking that it would be best to get these two people out as well, so that they could deal with Qi Sanlang later.

Jin Hejing was a little stunned after hearing this. He was actually doing this for Miss Jiang's own good. After all, it was a stranger's house, and it would be inconvenient for them sisters to stay here.

He was a thoughtful person and couldn't help but start to wonder again, could it be that Qi Sanlang was having an epileptic seizure?

Jin Hejing just moved here a few days ago. His previous place was not as cheap as here. After interacting with Yu Linchuan, he found out that there was an empty house here. The rent was slightly cheaper than his previous place, so he moved here on the eighth day of the New Year.

He really didn't know whether Qi Sanlang had epilepsy before.

Lin Zihou was a little surprised when he saw that he did not respond to Madam Xia: Why is Brother He Jing so silent today?

He thought that he couldn't let the kindhearted Old Lady Xia's words go unanswered, so he said warmly, "Old Lady, you are too polite. Although my studies are important, no one is more important than me. It's just a delay for a while, it's not a big deal."

"Then I'll trouble you, little sir, hehe~"

Xiao Jiang could tell that her grandmother's "hehe" was not insincere.

Lin Zihou was a kind-hearted gentleman, and he knew that it would be inconvenient for men like him to stay here with the two young ladies in the house. However, this was a shared house specially rented to students, and there was no place suitable for meeting guests.

You can't invite everyone to the kitchen, right?

After thinking about it, he walked to the door, turned his back to the room and looked outside.

Before leaving, he winked at Jin Hejing: Don’t stay with that young lady!

Unfortunately, Jin Hejing was still lost in thought and didn't even look at him.

Even if he saw it, he wouldn't leave.

What a great opportunity to curry favor with someone, only a fool would leave!

Jiang Shangxian was relieved when she saw this, and thought to herself that this young man was well-mannered and upright, which was exactly what she wanted.

"Mr. Jin, I am Jiang Shangxian, the eldest lady of the Jiang family." Xiao Jiang took two steps to the side, walked to Jin Hejing and introduced himself in a low voice.

Since Wang Leisheng asked this person to help find out the news, this person should be reliable. If he wants to get Lin Zihou away from the door, he needs his help.

coming!

And it’s so secretive!

Jin Hejing's heart moved, and he immediately replied in a low voice: "Miss Jiang, if you have anything to say, please tell me. I am Jin Hejing. I have had the honor of meeting Cui Shaoqing several times, and I am also familiar with Wang Sizhi."

The meaning of this is very clear. I am on your side. Just tell me what you want to say!

Old Madam Xia had been listening with her ears perked up. When she heard this, she couldn't help but look at him again. Seeing Jiang Shangxian wink at her, she nodded and walked towards Lin Zihou at the door.

"Young man, do you know where the kitchen is? I am very thirsty after walking all the way here, and I would like to ask for a cup of hot water." Old Lady Xia spoke to Lin Zihou with a smile.

Lin Zihou turned his head and accidentally caught a glimpse of Jiang Shangxian and Xia Zhenying inside. He immediately looked away, a little embarrassed. "Madam, please follow me."

"Hey! Thank you very much, young master. I wonder where you are from? Your accent sounds like you are from the south." Old Lady Xia walked out with him and chatted with him, determined to get him away.

Jiang Shangxian also seized the opportunity to tell Jin Hejing about the matter. She was a little embarrassed: "Jin Langjun, this matter is also a coincidence. Today, Qi Sanlang came to my store, and my brother happened to be at the door. The two of them said a few words. For some reason, my brother's leg cramped and he accidentally bumped into Qi Sanlang. You know that scholars are weak, and just by that bump, he accidentally fell to the ground. Tell me what happened. It happened on the first day of the new year. Hey..."

Xia Zhenying also echoed, her tone a little stiff: "Yeah, I don't know what he's doing, a grown man fell down after being touched by my ten-year-old brother, hehe~"

Jin Hejing: ???

No, think about this yourself and see if it makes sense.

As soon as Jin Hejing heard it, he knew something was wrong. Qi Sanlang was not a paper figurine in a funeral shop that would fall down if touched. He reasonably suspected that it was Miss Jiang's brother who kicked him down on purpose!

However, things certainly cannot be said so directly, and people don't need to explain it too clearly to him. He just needs to know the general idea.

Without even thinking, Jin Hejing chose to go along with the crowd. "How can you blame your brother for this? Wenzhe has always been weak. Even carrying a bucket of water would tire him out. Miss Jiang, don't worry about this. However, this epilepsy..."

It’s better to ask some questions in advance so that he will know how to cover up later.

Jiang Shangxian was certain this was a wise man, so he gave a shy smile and said, "We're all kindhearted people in this family. We saw him fall to the ground and went to help him. But Qi Sanlang suddenly became ill and started convulsing. We were weak women, so we couldn't help him. Somehow, he collapsed to the ground and passed out."

Oh, so you mean that all the men, women, young and old in your family came together to beat up Qi Sanlang and knocked him unconscious?

Jin Hejing, a master of language, digested the information he had received and understood the gist of it after translating it himself. He then said, "Doctor Ning from the Dali Temple is very skilled. Would it be convenient to invite him to treat Wenzhe?"

You guys are causing trouble. Instead of calling in a doctor from outside who has no knowledge of the disease, you might as well find someone you know.

After all, Shaoqing Cui is the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. Wouldn’t it be better to let the medical officer of the Dali Temple come?

Jin Hejing believed that he had some grasp of the relationships between superiors and subordinates in the officialdom. He just had to come up with an idea and he could sell it for a good price without having to do any work, so he pushed Ning Yuye out without hesitation.

"Although I have hired a doctor, I don't think he can compare to Doctor Ning." Jiang Shangxian's eyes lit up. How could she have forgotten Ning Yuye just now!

"Zhenying, hurry up, go outside and tell Yingzi to go to the Dali Temple immediately to look for Doctor Ning and see if he's free to come over."

Xia Zhenying had calmed down by now. She stared coldly at Qi Sanlang, who was lying on the bed with his eyes closed. Her eyes were sharp. If there weren't other people in the room, she would have rushed up to him and beat him up. Upon hearing this, she restrained her expression and said, "Yes."

After saying this, he bowed to Jin Hejing again and walked out.
