"Alright, I'll call you when I've set a time," Zheng Weijun said.
"Alright."
"You don't look very good," Wang Yao said. "Your liver has been too hot recently. You need to take care of your body."
Zheng Weijun, who was sitting across from him, had slightly red eyes. His breathing was hot, which was a sign of excessive liver heat.
"Drink more water, don't get angry, and eat less meat."
"Oh, thank you, Sir."
He sat there for a while until the first patient in the afternoon came. He then left.
In He County, thousands of miles away …
After two days of recuperation, Xu Xinyuan had basically recovered.
"Young Master, I'm going to have a look again."
"Do you still want to go there?"
"Yes."
He would get up from where he had fallen. He would get back at whoever had tricked him. He, Xu Xinyuan, had never been a magnanimous person.
He had suddenly suffered such a loss and suffered a lot. If he had not found Wang Yao in time to receive treatment, he might have lost his life. He could not let this matter rest.
"Uncle Xu, I think it's better not to go there for the time being. It's too dangerous there."
"I've already asked Wang Yao for some antidote."
Guo Zhenghe, who was on the other end of the phone, was silent for a moment. He knew the man's character.
"Well, why don't you change your way of thinking and look for the missing murderer, Miao Qingshan? Or, look for some people who hate the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. It might be better to start with them."
Guo Zhenghe had been thinking about the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. He was mainly thinking about how to guard against it. The reason he did not let Uncle Xu go was that he did not want to make a big deal out of it. He did not want to make a feud with the Valley of Thousands of Medicine. After all, He County was just a place where his resume was gilded. He could not stay there for the rest of his life. According to his family's and his own arrangements, he would stay there for at most three years before leaving to be promoted to a better position.
Making fewer enemies and more friends was one of his principles. Of course, there was no other way when it involved his fundamental interests. However, this matter wasn't too deeply involved for the time being. What he wanted to do now was to take precautions and not take the initiative to provoke.
"Yes, Young Master, you're right. They should have taken precautions. It's too dangerous to barge in rashly. Alright, I'll ask around first."
"Okay." After hanging up, Guo Zhenghe leaned against the back of the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
There were some things that couldn't be said too clearly, or it would be counterproductive.
It was several hundred li away from He County, and it didn't feel like it was deep in the mountains and forests.
In the forest, there was a man, a tall and strong man. His clothes were old and tattered, and he looked exhausted. Shuttling through the jungle.
Huh?!
Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks. His eyes stared quietly at the forest in front of him. With a flick of his arm, a shiny curved blade appeared in his hand.
"Who is it?" The dull voice was like a worn-out bellows.
"Has the old patriarch's bloodline already fallen to such a state?" A man's voice came from behind the tree, and then a person walked out.
He had a medium build and was dressed in camouflage. His face was dark, and his eyes were slightly red.
"It's you. Are you still alive?!" The tall and strong man was surprised after seeing the man's face clearly.
"As you can see, I'm still alive," the man said with a smile.
"But you, you've been framed and wanted. Where are you going next? Are you going to hide in this deep forest for the rest of your life?"
"Just say what you want to say," the tall and strong man said.
"Come with me," the tall and strong man said. "After all, we are from the same stockade. Besides, we have a common enemy. You can't deal with him."
"You mean Uncle Xihe?"
The tall and strong man asked. "What do you think? Why would the two policemen go to your house for no reason? Why would there be a broken hand and a dead body in your house? They didn't show up earlier or later. They showed up just when they came because they needed a scapegoat to help them get rid of suspicion. Your identity is a bit special, so they chose you. You still call him uncle. You've been betrayed, but you still help him count the money! "
"How do you know what happened in the stockade so well? Have you gone back?"
"I have my own way," the tall and strong man said. "Come with me."
"I don't believe Uncle Xihe would do that," the tall and strong man said after a moment of silence.
"Hahaha, Qingshan, you are still too naive," the tall and strong man said. "As the saying goes, you may know a person for a long time without understanding his true nature. Why do you think your father died after the old chief?"
"With the ability of the older generation in the stockade, what illness can't they cure?" the tall and strong man asked. "As for his sudden death, think about it. Over the years, how many people in the stockade have died of illness? How could your father's death be so coincidental? Have you ever thought about it? He was the chief of the Miaoxi River. He poisoned your father and even the old chief."
"Impossible," the tall and strong man said. "Why didn't my father say anything? Besides, it was my grandfather who passed the position to him. "The tall and strong man was Miao Qingshan, who had run out of the Valley of Thousands of Medicine.
"The Miaoxi River's ability to use poison is too high," the tall and strong man said. "It's easy for him to poison someone silently. Besides, even if your father eventually found out, what could he do? There was no evidence. The Miaoxi River has the support of most of the older generation in the village. Things have already come to that point. They were just trying to protect you. Why did your uncle escape and go missing? "
"How do you know so much?" Miao Qingshan asked.
"Why did I escape from the stockade?"
"Because you broke the rules!"
"Rules? Hahaha, oh, you are as honest as your father!"
"That's an excuse," the tall and strong man said. "It's because I saw what I shouldn't have seen, heard what I shouldn't have heard, and knew what I shouldn't have known. They wanted to kill me to shut me up. Otherwise, how could my healthy father and mother die for no reason after I left?"
"It's all the Miaoxi River's doing behind the scenes!"
Miao Qingshan was silent. Obviously, he would not easily believe the man just because of a few words.
"You will eventually understand what I'm saying," the tall and strong man said. "Now, the first thing you need to do is find a place to stay. You can't hide in the mountains every day, can you?"
"Do you have a way?"
"Come with me. Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Besides, I'm a wanted criminal now," the tall and strong man said with a smile.
Miao Qingshan hesitated for a while, then followed him and disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
In the afternoon, in the mountain village thousands of miles away, two police cars broke the silence of the village.
"This is the car!" The middle-aged man leading the way in front was Chief Zheng, who had been tortured the day before.
He had never been bullied like that before. He had gone to the hospital for a check-up the day before. After confirming that there was no major problem with his body, he immediately called the police. That day, he used his connections to bring the police officers to the mountain village.
"Why is it this village?" the police officer who drove the car asked.
"I hope it's not that one."
Chief Zheng quickly found the car that Jia Zizai drove the day before.
"This is the car."
"Are you sure?"
The police officer asked. "Yes, I'm 100% sure," Chief Zheng said.
They knocked on the door. Jia Zizai greeted them with a smile. "Hello, police officers.
What's the matter? Hey, it's you. The car accident yesterday was so serious, but you weren't hospitalized. You should stay in the hospital for more observation. You should drive carefully in the future. It doesn't matter if you die, but don't knock down other people. It's not good to knock down trees and plants. "
"You, you, you …" Chief Zheng was so angry that he couldn't breathe. He felt dizzy and almost fainted.
"Well, comrade, we need you to cooperate with the investigation," one of the police officers hurriedly said.
"No problem. Do you need me to go to the police station?"
"No, I'll ask you a few questions."
"Did you hit Mr. Zheng yesterday?" one of the police officers asked.
"I did," Jia Zizai said.
"Why?"
The police officer asked. "He was talking nonsense and attacked me. He was the one who hit me first," Jia Zizai said.
"You're talking nonsense. You hit me first!" Chief Zheng was so angry that he jumped on the spot.
"Who can prove it?" Jia Zizai's words were like cold water poured over his heart.
Yes, there were only the two of them at the time of the accident. There were no witnesses at all.
"There must be a camera nearby," Chief Zheng said.
"Well, Mr. Zheng, please calm down and wait for us to finish our questions."
"Come in and sit. It's tiring to stand outside." Jia Zizai invited them into the house. "Hey, you, wait outside." He stopped Chief Zheng outside.
"You're the one who complained first. A mad dog bites people. You still want to come in."
"You, you …" Chief Zheng was so angry that his whole body trembled.
In the end, the police officers couldn't persuade Jia Zizai. They could only let him wait outside. "Mr. Zheng, please wait a moment."
"Wife, there are police officers here to ask questions. Make tea."
"Okay." After hearing her husband's shout, Hu Mei came out of the house. She greeted the two police officers and made a pot of tea.
"Please have some tea."
"Thank you."
The two police officers carefully asked about the incident and made a record.
"What? What does his car accident have to do with me? I kindly reminded him to be careful when driving. It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin and not recognizing my good intentions. Hey, police officers, is he pretending to be confused and not sober?"
"The doctor has checked. There's no major problem with his body."
"Ah, he drove too fast. I saw it. There's a possibility that he was drunk driving."
Jia Zizai was not talking nonsense. Chief Zheng did have the smell of alcohol on him that day. He could smell it. Moreover, the hospital did find alcohol in his blood, but he used money to cover it up.
"The hospital didn't find alcohol in his blood."
"Really?"
The two police officers didn't get any useful information in the end. They took Mr. Zheng to the outside of the medical center. There was indeed a camera there. They went to investigate the video, but they couldn't see where the argument happened. They could only see Chief Zheng walking out of the medical center.
"Why did you argue?"
"He tripped me."
