262 Everything Depends On Human Efforts

Lin Suisui was stunned for a moment. Then, she turned to look at Lu Ze. After receiving Lu Ze’s signal, Lin Suisui calmed down and turned to look at Zhou Hengchang. She reached out to support him before saying, “Young Master Zhou, get up first. It’s all in the past. If there’s any misunderstanding, let’s talk things through.

You really don’t have to do this!”

...

After saying that, she walked around him and quickly walked to Lu Ze’s side.

Zhou Hengchang stood up. He had already finished the most embarrassing step, so at this moment, he had already calmed down. He turned around and looked at Lu Ze as he said, “In that case, does Mr, Gu have anything else to say?!”

“Thank you, Young Master Zhou.” Lu Ze nodded slightly. His gentle and innocent demeanor was completely different from his previous attitude.

Zhou Hengchang snorted and turned to leave. However, just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Pei Qian, who suddenly came in.

“Hey, Mr. Zhou! I was just thinking of talking to you about something. I didn’t expect to meet you so coincidentally!”

Pei Qian raised his hand and patted Zhou Hengchang’s shoulder with a smile. “Coincidentally, everyone who should be here is here. Why don’t you stay a little longer, Mr. Zhou?”

“What’s the matter?!” Although Zhou Hengchang didn’t want to stay, he had already been stopped, so he could only follow Pei Qian’s suggestion and return to the room.

Pei Qian didn’t seem to be joking. After he gave Qian He a look, Qian He took a step back and left the room before closing the door.

Lin Suisui thought for a moment and was about to find an excuse to leave when Pei Qian stopped her. “Madam Liu, please stay. It’s about the soldiers you’re treating.”

Lin Suisui, who had originally planned to leave, stopped because of Pei Qian’s words. Lu Ze pulled Lin Suisui to the table at the side to sit down.

“What is it?” Zhou Hengchang frowned.

After seeing that Lin Suisui had also been left behind, he felt that this matter had something to do with his impulsiveness last night!

However, what did this have to do with Mr. Pei?!

“Madam Liu, how are those soldiers?!” Pei Qian ignored Zhou Hengchang’s question. Instead, he turned to look at Lin Suisui and asked in a low voice.

“Not too good.” Lin Suisui shook her head gently and briefly explained the situation of the six soldiers to Pei Qian. Then, she said, “I’ve already prepared a prescription with Doctor Luo, but we can only try to treat them. Whether we can completely treat them or not depends on what happens next.”

“What’s going on?!” Zhou Hengchang glanced at Wei Qing and realized that just like him, Wei Qing was also confused by their questions and answers.

However, even so, he still felt that something was wrong and couldn’t help but feel nervous.

“Do you know what this is?!” Pei Qian raised his hand and took out the pouch he had shown Lin Suisui previously. Then, he threw it on the table and gestured for Wei Qing and Zhou Hengchang to check it themselves.

“Has anyone in the army eaten this herb?!”

Pei Qian didn’t hide anything. While the two of them checked the hemp leaf, he didn’t forget to tell the two of them the circumstances of his discovery.

Then, he said, “After I returned, I began to investigate the entire matter!

“After the investigation, I really found some clues! It’s really related to the Qifeng Hall that was dealt with previously!”

“Qifeng Hall used to be in charge of supplying most of the herbs in the northern camp! If there’s anything fishy about Qifeng Hall, then…”

It would have been better if Pei Qian hadn’t said this. As soon as he said this, Wei Qing’s face turned pale.

Qifeng Hall was the largest supplier of herbs in the northern military camp previously. Almost half of the herbs were from Qifeng Hall!

They had long known that the herbs sent by the Qifeng Hall were not right, so they had secretly thought of other ways to buy herbs to replace them. However, after all, there were very few people like them who had the right to choose. Most of them used whatever the higher-ups distributed and didn’t think too much about whether there was a problem with the herbs sent to the military camp!

If such an addictive herb was really added to the Qifeng Hall, the consequences would be unimaginable!

“I’ve already asked about the specifics and arranged for someone to investigate immediately. Although the Qifeng Hall has the practice of price gouging, they really didn’t have the time to mix this kind of hemp leaves in the middle!

It’s not that they don’t want to, but I’ve calculated the time. It’s probably because there’s too little time and they haven’t had time to make their next move!”

Pei Qian’s words made everyone present heave a sigh of relief.

If that was the case, it was fortunate!

“I’ve already brought all the stewards, waiters, and people involved in this matter into the Imperial City’s government office. I’ll get information from them one by one!

“Now, the reason I asked you guys to stay is that I want you guys to go back and check if there’s still a camp in the army that uses this leaf!”

Pei Qian didn’t look at Wei Qing. Instead, he looked at Zhou Hengchang, who hadn’t spoken since this matter was mentioned.

“Mr. Zhou, I don’t think I need to remind you of the importance of this matter, right?”

“Mr. Pei, I understand what you mean.” Zhou Hengchang was silent for a long time before he slowly said, “I’ll go back and investigate the various camps of the Zhou family’s army!

If I discover anything unusual, I will definitely inform you immediately!”

Pei Qian stared at Zhou Hengchang for a long time before nodding with a smile. “That’s good. I heard that Sr. Zhou valued you a lot back then!

If not for the fact that Sr. Zhou passed away so early, the position of the heir of the Marquis of Sui Ning Ministry would have been yours long ago!”

“Mr. Pei, you must be joking. I’m a descendant of the Zhou family, so I’m just doing my best for the Zhou family’s future! Now, my eldest brother is still around, so the position of the heir is naturally his. I don’t dare to covet it!”

Zhou Hengchang lowered his eyes slightly. Although he responded to Pei Qian’s probing, it was obvious that he was lying.

“It’s fine as long as you know what you’re doing!” Pei Qian picked up his teacup and raised it at Zhou Hengchang. “Everything depends on human efforts. We’ll have many chances to interact in the future, so let’s take things slow!”
