Chapter 361 Someone stopped the car
Wei Dong, who was hiding in the dark, rushed in first and directly felt Zhang Peng's breath and pulse.
Soon, Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning, who were hiding in the corridor, also walked in quickly.
"He's suffering from the effects of the medicine, right?" Su Jixiang asked.
"Madam, rest assured. I have a special drug for dealing with martial arts masters, and I've given him a double dose." Wei Dong said confidently, "Even if he is a cow, he will have to sleep until noon tomorrow!"
"Your double dose wasted my entire camphor tea tree duck." Su Jixiang looked at the duck on the tray that was torn into pieces by Zhang Peng with a bit of regret.
This was originally pickled and prepared to be cooked for Wei Ling when he returned.
Because the knockout drug had a slight smell, Wei Dong used double the amount. Su Jixiang was afraid that someone would notice something wrong with it, so he took out the duck and cooked it in advance specifically for using it to put the drug.
The tea tree oil and the side dishes have a strong aroma, just enough to cover up the smell of the knockout drug.
Su Jixiang looked at Madam Qu who was tied to the rack. She and Qu Wanning hurried over and supported Madam Qu on each side. They asked Weidong to open the chains, and then they carefully helped Madam Qu down from the rack.
"You've suffered!" Su Jixiang said distressedly, looking at her fingers that were swollen and purple like carrots from being clamped by the clamp. And the whip wounds on Lady Qu's body were still oozing blood, and the skin and flesh were turned over.
Su Jixiang quickly asked Weidong to take out his cloak and cover Madam Qu with it.
Qu Wanning poured another cup of tea for Madam Qu to moisten her throat.
After drinking a few sips of hot tea, Madam Qu felt better.
"It's nothing serious. It's just physical pain." Madam Qu said, her voice still a little hoarse. "It's just that they want to use me to frame Lord Xie, and I, a weak woman, can't do anything. I can only die rather than admit it!"
"Thank you, Madam Qu, for your generosity!" Qu Wanning bowed to Madam Qu and said sincerely.
"Mrs. Xie, there is no need to be like this. I have never colluded with Lord Xie, so I cannot admit to things that I have not done." Madam Qu said quickly.
Wei Dong took out all the medicines he had brought with him, mixed the ones for internal use with water and handed them to Madam Qu, "Drink it first, it can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis and also relieve pain." His eyes were full of heartache, but because Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning were here, he could only endure it so that others would not see it.
"Thank you." Madam Qu swallowed the medicine. This medicine was specially made by the secret guards, so it had miraculous effects. After a while, she felt that the wounds on her body were not as painful as before.
"This is for external application." Wei Dong took out another bottle with some embarrassment.
Su Jixiang took the bottle and said, "Wan Ning and I will apply the medicine to her. You go and watch outside."
"Yes!" Wei Dong immediately clasped his fists, and before leaving, he sealed several acupoints on Zhang Peng to prevent him from causing any trouble.
Su Jixiang and Qu Wanning applied medicine to Madam Qu little by little under the light of the interrogation room.
"Zhang Peng is so cruel!" Su Jixiang frowned when he saw the scars on Madam Qu's body.
"It really hurts." Madam Qu smiled bitterly, "I only lasted ten lashes before I fainted. I'm really useless!"
"You're already powerful enough!" Qu Wanning didn't even dare to touch Madam Qu's wound with his hands and could only help Su Jixiang.
"Master Xie said that as long as he survives tonight, he will be able to escape." Su Jixiang said to Madam Qu, "So you don't have to be afraid. I have also handed over another copy of the evidence that I saved. Xie Yingfeng will definitely not be led by those people. You will be fine too!"
"I know. Seeing you here tonight, I know nothing will happen to me." Madam Qu's face was pale, but her smile was sincere. "In Mangcheng, the person I trust most is you, Madam!"
She paused, "Don't worry, Madam. Although I have been arrested, I have already counted all the herbs. I will send them out at dawn and deliver them to the place Madam designated by tomorrow night. I will not delay Madam's business at all."
"Don't think about those unnecessary things at this time!" Su Jixiang was grateful in his heart and quickly comforted him, "It doesn't matter if the herbs arrive a day earlier or later."
"That's not true." Madam Qu said seriously, "If Madam hadn't given me a way out, my shop wouldn't be what it is now. Since I promised Madam, I will definitely gather together what Madam wants and send it to her even if it rains knives from the sky. This is not something harmless, this is my integrity and promise to Madam."
"Okay, okay. Don't worry, I'll give you the medicinal materials business from now on!" Su Jixiang said softly.
"I will definitely live up to your trust!" Madam Qu wanted to stand up and salute, but when she moved, the wounds all over her body showed signs of bursting again. Su Jixiang was so frightened that he quickly held her down and said, "Don't move. We will stay here tonight and we can talk about other things tomorrow morning."
"Okay, okay!" Madam Qu was also startled and quickly sat back down. It was not because of anything else, but because her injuries were treated by Su Jixiang. If she acted so recklessly, she was afraid that Su Jixiang's efforts would be wasted.
Zhou Chengjun was indeed called by Cui Yushan to have a drink at his mansion. So Zhang Peng did not doubt when Su Jixiang and the others said that they were maids in Cui Yushan's mansion.
It’s just that Zhou Chengjun came out of Cui Yushan’s house early after having a drink.
Cui Yushan and his wife stuffed two thousand taels of silver notes into his sleeve, saying that it was for him to buy some local specialties in Mangcheng.
Zhou Chengjun understood what Cui Yushan meant, and also understood what His Majesty meant.
Wei Ling had a large number of troops under his command, and they were all elite cavalry. Emperor Longchang did not dare to act rashly, but Xie Yingfeng was different.
Xie Yingfeng was a military strategist and the acting governor of Mangcheng. If Xie Yingfeng was overthrown, the court would be able to seize the position of governor of Mangcheng.
Emperor Longchang promised the post of prefect of Mangcheng to the Black Tiger Army. There would be no reason to take it back directly. However, if Xie Yingfeng made a mistake, then it would make sense for him to take the post of prefect!
So he put Xie Yingfeng under house arrest tonight, and while Wei Ling was not back yet, he wanted to see if he could get Madam Qu to confess her guilt.
As long as she pleads guilty, it doesn't matter whether there is evidence or not! First, just remove Xie Yingfeng from his position as governor. As a supervisory censor, he still has some power.
Not long after he came out from Cui Yushan's place, someone stopped his carriage.
"How dare you! How dare you block our master's carriage! Who are you?" The guard in front of the carriage pointed at the person who was blocking the way and shouted!
