When Rong Shanbao heard that Lu Jianglai was poisoned after a duel with Yang Dingcheng, he was angry and asked his men to call Yang Dingcheng to confront him. Yang Dingcheng had never poisoned him at all. Seeing that many people were in Lu Jianglai's room, he angrily yelled at Lu Jianglai for making a fuss, saying that he was also injured.Rong Shanbao asked his men to take out the sword used by Yang Dingcheng. Now the doctor determined that Yang Dingcheng's sword was poisonous. Yang Dingcheng couldn't defend himself and shouted angrily that he didn't know anything about it.
Cousin Wen was also there. Yang Dingcheng was usually arrogant and domineering and didn't take anyone seriously. Now that he finally got the handle, he naturally refused to let Yang Dingcheng go. Everyone in the room unanimously held Yang Dingcheng accountable.Lu Jiang knew that Yang Dingcheng's family was well-off, and it was impossible for him to sever ties with him because of a servant, so he hurriedly stepped down and said that he would no longer pursue Yang Dingcheng's fault.
Yang Dingcheng was about to leave, but Rong Shanbao immediately reminded him if he was not sincere enough. Yang Dingcheng asked his subordinates to send all the medical fees for the treatment, and then he left.After Yang Dingcheng returned, he naturally had to fight with his subordinates who sharpened their swords. He was usually harsh on his subordinates, but now that such a big thing happened, Yang Dingcheng's servants were so frightened that they were hiding away. Yan Bailou saw this and immediately stopped Yang Dingcheng from committing the crime.
Rong Shanbao and others retreated and returned to Lu Jianglai's room to check the wound. Lu Jianglai was usually clever and cunning, but he actually accepted Yang Dingcheng's invitation to fight in private. He must have been prepared. Rong Shanbao felt that Lu Jianglai should know that the sword was poisonous.Lu Jianglai denied it. Lu Jianglai had an insight into the matter of someone secretly poisoning him. He just wanted to kill two birds with one stone and deliberately concealed the matter and asked his subordinates not to tell it.
Yang Dingcheng was not a fool. He gave his men a few whips and told them the whole story.Lu Jianglai was invited by the old lady of Chongxi Hall to investigate the situation. Yang Dingcheng caught the murderer and proved his innocence. The murderer identified He Xingming as secretly instigating him to poison the sword.The certified evidence was all there, but He Xingming could not argue. The old lady saw clearly that Yang Dingcheng was an impulsive daredevil, and He Xingming was a cunning and ruthless scoundrel in the city, so she ordered both of them to be driven out of Rong Mansion.
Yang Dingcheng saw that the old lady didn't say anything to death, so he still had no peace of mind. Not only Yang Dingcheng, but also He Xingming didn't calm down. He held the poison in his hand and felt that it was time to act in advance.
Late at night, Rong Shanbao was awakened by a nightmare. When she woke up, she was sweating profusely. She vaguely felt that something was about to happen, so she quickly got up and rushed to the tea garden.He Xingming was offended during the day, so there was no chance that he would resort to ruthless means. That was exactly what happened. He Xingming quietly found the well for irrigation. Three days later, the Rong Mansion brought out imperial tea as a tribute. The century-old tea tree was particularly important to the Rong Mansion. He Xingming dropped the poison into the well, and Lu Jianglai happened to see him. Lu Jianglai quickly grabbed the poison and tied up He Xingming.
Rong Shanbao rushed to the well and saw poisonous residue next to the well, and immediately ordered all water for irrigation to be transported from outside from tomorrow on.He Xingming still had a tough talk and looked coldly at how Rong Shanbao dealt with the aftermath. Rong Shanbao was so angry that he walked away.
