But she didn't expect Wu Yin to come back soon, with a serious expression on his face. Facing Zhou's full gaze, he lowered his head guiltily, hesitated for a while and said, "The chief is not in the mansion."
Zhou Man put down his pen and frowned, "You're really not here?"
Wu Yin said nothing.
Zhou Man understood immediately that it was missing.
Zhou Man thought for a while and asked: "Can the chief manager see the chief?"
Wu Yin nodded.
Zhou Man: "Look for him."
Wu Yin said: "I have already looked for him, but he doesn't believe that malaria has spread to the outside world. Since my wife became ill, the servants who served her have not been out. After the diagnosis of malaria, the servants in this courtyard have even been in the hospital."
You can’t even get out through the door.”
"If he has locked up people, can he also trap mosquitoes?"
Wu Yin said helplessly: "He doesn't believe that diseases are transmitted by mosquitoes. There are not many other places in southern Xinjiang, and there are the most mosquitoes. Who doesn't get bitten by mosquitoes a few times a year? No one has malaria."
Zhou Man: "You are a great witch..."
Wu Yin lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then took a step forward, picked up the pen on the table and wrote on a piece of paper: "The chief may also be infected."
Just treat the infection. Zhou Man blinked and reacted belatedly. She raised her eyes and looked at Wu Yin. After a while, she stood up and said, "It's time to pull out the needle. Go and pull it out. Do you remember the order?"
?”
Wu Yin was stunned for a moment and then nodded, "Yes, I remember."
He turned around to pull out the needle, while Zhou Man followed behind and watched.
After he finished pulling out the needle, Zhou Man confirmed that the patient's condition was still stable, and said to Wu Yin, "Take me to see the room where I live."
Wu Yin hurriedly agreed and took Zhou Man out personally.
A maid immediately wanted to follow, but Wu Yin stopped her and said, "I'll just come here. You can go down."
After all, he is a great witch, and even if he cannot see the chief, he is still highly respected, so the maid obediently stopped.
Then Wu Yin saw Bai Shan sitting in the corner of the yard basking in the sun.
Wu Yin stopped and looked at him speechless for a long time. Because there was no one around, he subconsciously bowed and saluted, "Master."
Bai Shan glanced at Zhou Man first, and when he saw her standing aside looking pretty, he nodded and said with a smile, "It's Wu Yin, I heard Zi Qian mentioned you."
When Wu Yin heard this, he looked at Zhou Man excitedly. He didn't expect that his husband would not only remember him, but also mention him to Bai Xiang.
It's not safe here. After all, it's still in the madam's yard, and there are servants walking by from time to time not far away.
So Zhou Man asked: "Where should we live?"
Wu Yin hurriedly calmed down his emotions and took them to the room next door where he lived. "Sir, Master, you can stay in this room. I will live next door. If you need anything, you can tell me."
Zhou Man and Bai Shan entered the room, scanned the room, and found everything they needed. They didn't close the door, so they sat at the table and talked to Wu Yin. They just turned their backs to the door intentionally.
Zhou Man got straight to the point, "Is there someone in the Liaozi tribe who wants to rebel again? Otherwise, why would the chief hide away?"
Wu Yin said helplessly: "Sir, I don't know."
He paused and then said: "But it's normal for the chief to have such doubts. The branch Chief Li belongs to was originally the chief and the first chief conferred by the imperial court. However, when his father was there, because of his father and mother
Due to some grievances of the tribe, the Zhang family took away the power of the tribe’s leader and drove them out..."
"Wait a minute, Chief Zhang is..."
"He is Chief Li's cousin, and Chief Zhang is Chief Li's uncle." Such power changes were very common in the Liaozi Department. Wu Yin was not surprised and said: "Chief Li came back to seize the leadership of a large tribe, so naturally he was
The tribe elected a chief."
"However, the chief cannot kill all the people who opposed him in the past. In addition to the big tribe, there are two other tribes with many warriors and a lot of wealth. They also want to be the chief," Wu Yin said: "No one knows
Is there anyone among them who wants to rebel?"
Bai Shan was surprised, "You are a great witch, but you don't have any news at all?"
Wu Yin said frankly: "I am only good at medicine. In a large tribe, I can only treat people. The effect of offering sacrifices and praying is not very good. In the past two years, when I have offered sacrifices and prayed for blessings, the chief has always invited Wu Jin.
"
He sighed. Since the topic has come to this point, he might as well explain the grievances clearly. Anyway, this matter is not a secret in the Liaozi Department. With the ability of Mr. and Master, I don’t know now, but I will know it in a few days.
"Witches should choose people who are smart and clear-minded, and who have a good background. My family was one of the top two largest families in the tribe at that time,"
Zhou Man did a good job of listening carefully.
"The person chosen to be a witch disciple is my brother."
Bai Shan thought of something and said uncertainly: "Wu Jin?"
Wu Yin paused and asked: "How does Master know?"
Bai Shan paused and said, "Maybe it's because your names made me pay more attention."
After all, the names of his father-in-law and younger father-in-law are exactly the same, except for the surname, of course.
Wu Yin didn't know this and continued: "But my father died in a battle and my mother remarried, so I can only live with my brother."
He said: "My brother is the most favored disciple of the great witch. He lived with the witch and I also learned some of the witch's skills. When the tribe rebelled, the great witch sided with Chief Zhang. My brother thought this was unethical.
In anger, he ran away from the clan with some of his clan members and formed another clan."
Wu Yin said: "I was left behind in the big tribe."
"Later, the tribe wanted to pay tribute to the Celestial Empire, so I was selected to follow the mission to the north. Unexpectedly, my husband was kind enough to choose one of our Liaozi tribe to stay and study medicine. Because I had followed the great witch for several years, I was given the surname of witch, so I was
left behind."
Zhou Man listened with interest, "What happened next?"
"My husband and my master should also know what happened next. I came back after completing my studies. Because my medical skills were better, I gradually became more important. Chief Zhang was ill at the time, and I saved him."
Wu Yin said: "He has always been worried about the fact that the great witch supported his rebellion. He felt that it was not good for the great witch to have too much power and prestige. In addition, the Celestial Empire was marching eastward because of the disrespect of the vassal states. All the vassal states and Jizhou were eager to make peace.
The Celestial Empire showed its loyalty, so it chose me, who had studied abroad in the capital, to be the great witch."
Wu Yin said with great self-knowledge: "I am good at medicine, but my sacrifices and blessings have not been truly passed down. So after Chief Li took over, he always wanted to bring back my brother's small tribe and ask him to be a great shaman."
"But there are many tribal leaders who have the same plan as Chief Li. I don't know how many of them are sincere, and how many of them want to get the true witch and then rule the entire Liaozi tribe."
"In other words, Chief Li cannot fully control the Liaozi Department, otherwise why would he want to rely on Wu Jin's power?"
If you really have complete control, you should be like Chief Zhang and find ways to weaken the power and prestige of the great witch.
Wu Yin remained silent and did not speak.
After listening to the story, Zhou Man brought the topic back, "If malaria cannot be effectively controlled, even if they win the position of chief, they will take over the tribe that has suffered heavy losses. What's the point?"
What Bai Shan was thinking was, "In this case, the Liaozi Department is very dangerous now."
Conflicts and bloodshed may occur at any time. If Zhou Man and Mingda stay here, they may be attacked, their identities leaked, and they may become targets.
Bai Shan frowned and asked, "Is Chief Li in the mansion now? I want to see him."
