I am really late this time and I made a huge error in the previous chapter. The “poisoner” left the papers, not the “poisoned person”. This is what happens when I translate as I read and don’t know what’s really happening. I fixed it just now, but that was super bad.

The contents of those few pieces of paper are the same.
The general idea is that the rotten old fellow who is surnamed Wang is sanctimonious, the outside appearance and inner manner differs. Behind others’ backs he manages to be utterly devoid of conscience, but he has obtained an excellent reputation. He(the poisoner) couldn’t endure that the heroes of the world again suffer deceit, and to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven, he found the Lantern Extinguishing Poison and let old fellow Wang nicely taste those past years’ flavor. Furthermore, soon he will make the true face of the old man public, so everyone wait and see!
The Wang family Head was so angry that he was shaking uncontrollably, and even his eyes were red. He asked: “Who posted? Did you see people? Capture them back!”
“There wasn’t,” said the servant. “These were posted in the alleys that did not have people. I don’t know when it was posted. There are many alleys that all have these. This small one has already sent people to tear it.”
The Wang family Head’s chest moved up and down violently, and in a thick voice said: “Call on more people to look!”
The servant accepted the order and was to leave, but a person present in the room stopped him in time, and asked sharply: “The alley is so secluded, how do you know that there was this?”
The servant moved his lips, but he stopped talking.
Wang family Head stared at him: “Speak!”
The servant can only brace himself and speak: “I returned to my lord, because there were people gathered looking around these places.”
Wang family Head asked: “Then those people listened to who said it? Go ask, there should always be someone who attracted them.”
“That is not necessarily true,” Wenren Heng interjected. “The other party chooses to post in those places, but he does not want to be seen. I am afraid that useful things can’t be asked for now. After he posts it, he only needs to pretend to be a passerby. Inadvertently chanting a sentence, the person who hears will naturally look for it, and then it will be passed on to the tenth person, then the hundreth.”
Wang family Head sighed in his chest, knowing that the people in the whole city are now commenting about his father one by one, judgmentally. He especially wanted to smash something, but realized that Wulin seniors were sitting in the lobby. He endured and held back, and hastily called for the housekeeper. He called the housekeeper to let him tell people to mind their mouths. This must not be passed to the ears of the old man.
Wenren Heng again spoke: “But it is not excluded that the person who posted the notice is not the same person as the poisoner. It may be that someone wants to use the gust of wind to deliberately fish in troubled waters(take advantage of crisis). If Wang family has matters with someone, it should be paid more attention to.”
Wang family Head responded, asking the servant to add several injunctions, and looked at the people present, slightly slowing a while the anger, hoarsely said: “My father’s manner, all seniors are clear on, this is absolute slander.”
Manor Lord Wei opened his mouth: “That is natural, we and your father have these many years friendship, how can we not believe him, you do not have to flare up in anger.”
Wang family Head, exhausted mentally and physically, nodded his head.
Manor Lord Wei watched him: “I see that today was about enough, for this matter to happen, I fear that you have many matters to process – might as well go first busily, after following the matter, with us it can be discussed again.”
Wang family Head gratefully said “Hmm”, and respectfully had them seen out.
Wenren Heng and Ye You couldn’t help but look at each other.
Although Wenren Heng just recently spoke, they thought that this matter was 80% also the work of the poisoner.
When they rushed to the Wang family, it took more than ten days, and the news of the Lantern Extinguishing Poison spreaded, so the Jianghu people who arrived in Suzhou early must wait longer. When people have used up the patience as there is no news for so many days that they are impatient, but just at this moment, the notice is turned out, the people who want to leave inevitably want to stay, and the people who left will rush back.
They had previously thought the poisoner might want to draw people in, and now they have confirmed this speculation.
However, what is the plot for him doing this?
Furthermore, toward Lord Wang he struck with a hand for what reason after all? Is it really to enforce justice on behalf of Heaven, or is there another motive?
Ye You spoke in a soft voice: “Fellow apprentice.”
Wenren Heng said: “Hm.”
Ye You said: “I’m going to the bathroom, you can randomly find a place to wait for me.”
Wenren Heng: “……”
Wenren Heng had no choice, he was prepared to say “Shixiong will accompany you”, but he heard Manor Lord Wei call him outside the door, thus he pulled his shidi to pass, and happened to listen to this person mention to ask Divine Doctor Ji to see his shidi as a patient. Sham-like he said: “But isn’t Divine Doctor Ji detoxifying Lord Wang? We are not urgent, it’s better we wait again.”
“Everything is almost solved,” after the big thing was put aside, Manor Lord Wei had his habitually worn smile, like Maitreya’s. “It’s just work on a handful of veins and arteries, don’t delay the matter, with great difficulty you found your shidi. I’m also happy you are happy, I went to speak with Divine Doctor Ji and told him to take a look.”
Wenren Heng got exactly what he wanted: “In that case, we have troubled Elder Uncle Wei.”
Manor Lord Wei said with a smile: “Why be so polite with me.”
Ye You obediently followed them, and once again canceled the thought of going to the latrine.
He glanced at the profile of Wenren Heng, and his heart faintly relaxed. Finally, he somewhat believed that they were fellow male apprentices. Manor Lord Wei had seen before Wenren Heng’s shidi, and he could not disallow the dismantling of the cloth on his face when he was seeing a doctor. Wenren Heng was this calm, presumably he was not lying.
Of course, there may be another way, to send people to Manor Lord Wei to give a message, to form a partnership and sing a play to him. But he always felt, considering Wenren Heng’s method, if he could really did this much, absolutely finding this many people to join in the song, and causing it to be beyond his abilities to distinguish.
Therefore he is willing to believe Wenren Heng.
Several people chatted while walking, and entered the backyard.
Now that the notice has come out, Lord Wang’s place can’t be easily gone to. Manor Lord Wei took them to the residence of Divine Doctor Ji. They still had not yet reached the small courtyard but several people have already smelled the faint herbal medicine scent.
Divine Doctor Ji, as it turned out, had not gone to Lord Wang, and was currently reading a medical text. As Wenren Heng said, although this person’s years were great, his posture was robust, and the wrinkles on his face are full of vitality. He was dressed in white, his beard was over his chest, his grizzled hair was white, it was like looking at an extraordinary immortal.
Wenren Heng simply explained the purpose of their visit.
