Chapter 306 Antidote
After returning to Shigu Lane, Ye Changyan explained the matter to his housekeeper Dai Xing.
Dai Xing was delighted. A large-scale greenhouse was built on the farm. As long as his two grandsons worked hard inside, why would they not have a good future?
Dai Xing planned to arrange the construction of the yard and greenhouse early tomorrow morning, and give his two grandsons some instructions while he was at it.
The next morning, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng took a carriage to the Imperial College.
Lu Tingfeng still parked the carriage in front of the gate of Yunfeng Tower, and Xing Wang also came along to send the young master to school.
Xing Wang was the first to jump off the carriage, followed by Liang Jingcheng, and Ye Changyan walked at the end.
But as soon as Ye Changyan jumped off the carriage, he felt something on the sole of his foot, as if he had stepped on something. Everything seemed so familiar.
Ye Changyan squatted down and saw that he had stepped on a gold ingot, which weighed about two taels.
When Liang Jingcheng saw Ye Changyan's actions, he knew that he must have picked up silver again, so he started to ask.
"Why, did you pick up silver again?"
When Xing Wang heard this, he hurried forward to check, but saw Ye Changyan shaking his head, then said with joy on his face.
"Haha! I found gold this time!"
Xing Wang saw that Ye Changyan was holding a gold ingot covered with dust in his hand. His eyes widened with envy.
Sang Li, who was walking towards this side at this time, happened to hear Ye Changyan's words. He hurriedly trotted a few steps and asked curiously.
"Where did you find the gold?"
Ye Changyan held up the gold ingot he had just picked up. Everyone took a look and saw that it was indeed a gold ingot. They all looked envious.
In fact, Liang Jingcheng and Sang Li were not envious of the gold ingot. To them, a gold ingot was not a lot of money. What they envied was Ye Changyan's good luck.
And only Liang Jingcheng knew how good Ye Changyan's luck was. In the less than two years that he had known Ye Changyan, he didn't know how many times Ye Changyan had picked up silver. But he had never picked up one, and he didn't know why Ye Changyan was so lucky.
Seeing that Xing Wang was staring at the gold ingot in his hand, Ye Changyan handed the gold ingot to him.
"Here you go. You can buy some of the food you like while we're studying these days, but remember to bring some back for your teacher."
Xing Wang took the gold ingot with excitement and nodded repeatedly in agreement.
After saying goodbye to Lu Tingfeng and Xing Wang, Ye Changyan, Liang Jingcheng and Sang Li walked towards the Imperial College.
After entering the Imperial College, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng pulled Sang Li and walked into a smaller path that was a bit of a detour. However, precisely because this path was a detour, there were very few people walking on it, making it particularly secluded.
Ye Changyan looked around and after confirming that there was no one around, he started asking Sang Li.
"Ah Li, do you still remember the young master of the Jin family who was bewitched by you on the day of registration for the Imperial College before the Lunar New Year?"
Hearing Ye Changyan's question, Sang Li thought for a moment before he remembered.
"Is it that unreasonable boy who called me a barbarian?"
"Yes, it's him. We heard that because you put a grass ghost on him, he becomes extremely itchy every full-moon night. His skin is scratched and he has many scars. Now people are saying that he has contracted some strange disease and someone broke off an engagement because of it."
"It's what he deserves. Whoever made him so arrogant and unreasonable should be punished."
Although Jin Wenshao deserved the punishment, he had been tortured several times and his engagement was broken off because of this. This matter had already spread throughout the circle of power and wealth in Shengjing. It would not be easy for Jin Wenshao to get a girl of some status in Shengjing City.
Liang Jingcheng had a conflict with Jin Wenshao because he stood up to rescue Sang Li. Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng did not want to be involved in the intrigues of the powerful people in Shengjing. They were afraid that if someone found out the real cause of Jin Wenshao's illness, they would be dragged into a meaningless fight.
"Ah Li, if you, the grass ghost, don't understand, then will the grass ghost in Jin Wenshao torture him for the rest of his life?"
Sang Li nodded, looking very confident.
"This grass ghost was created by Ah Man. If the person who created it doesn't free him, he will experience a strange itchy torture like being bitten by thousands of ants every full moon night in his life."
Sang Li's words made Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng feel itchy on their backs.
"Then besides the person who created the grass ghost freeing him from it, is there any other way to save him from such painful torture?"
"Why, you want to help him?"
"I don't mean to help him. Jin Wenshao suffered all this torture because of his own fault."
Hearing Ye Changyan say this, Sang Li nodded in agreement, but then he heard Liang Jingcheng on the side speak.
"Although Jin Wenshao brought this upon himself, he is only a teenager after all. It is inevitable that young people will be arrogant and make mistakes. Since he has been tortured four times and his engagement was broken off, he has been punished. Ah Li, can you please show some mercy and let him go?"
According to Sang Li's temper, she would have rejected Liang Jingcheng with just one sentence, but when she thought about how Liang Jingcheng saw her being troubled by Jin Wenshao that day and took the initiative to stand up to help her out, she even had a conflict with Jin Wenshao because of this.
Thinking of this, Sang Li finally took back the words he was about to say, but if he was asked to detoxify Jin Wenshao, he would never agree to do so.
Seeing Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng looking at him expectantly, Sang Li hesitated for a long time, then gave a wicked smile.
"If you want me to help you unlock the grass ghost, then you don't consider me a friend. But for the sake of both of you, I do have a way to save him from torture without unlocking the grass ghost."
Seeing that Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng's eyes lit up, Sang Li's smirk became even wider.
"If he doesn't want to suffer the torture of being bitten by thousands of ants, he can light a stick of incense the day before every full moon night, and grind a pea-sized piece of realgar into powder, mix it with the ashes of the burning incense, and use the urine of the five black dogs to make a pill with the mixed powder. After taking it, he will be free from torture the next day."
After hearing Sang Li's method, Ye Changyan and Liang Jingcheng both had strange expressions, and then they both looked at Sang Li with a helpless smile and shook their heads.
"Your method is really insidious."
Then, a few of them walked along the path towards the inside, laughing and joking.
A few days later, on several busy streets of Shengjing City, Liulang's beggars were all telling a story.
The story goes that during the Wu Dynasty, there was a wicked young man who slept with prostitutes all day long. Later, he contracted a strange disease and his body was extremely itchy, as if he was bitten by thousands of ants. This wicked young man was the only son in the family. He spent all his family's wealth and sought medical treatment everywhere. Finally, he got a secret prescription from an old Taoist priest.
