Oh no! Seven kids at the start, all yellow and skinny.

Chapter 163 Another Price

Marquis Zhenbei was so angry he laughed: "Brother Yun, I'm starting to suspect that you might have ordered this monkey."

"Lord Marquis, you really think too highly of me. If I can command monkeys... then why don't I command tigers and leopards? Wouldn't it be better to just eat everyone I don't like?" Yun Yi shrugged.

"Then why did you insist on having them?"

“You know, my gang was just established, and everything is still in ruins. The houses are all dilapidated and have no power left. But the craftsmen in Black City are all controlled by the government, so I can’t even build a decent house.” Yunyi sighed. “I heard that this person used to be the Minister of Works? He must be able to build houses, right?”

"Yes." He Youwei nodded directly.

“You…” Marquis Zhenbei frowned.

“Of course, if the Marquis is unwilling, then forget what I said.” Yun Yi shrugged. “Your son can leave it to fate.” With that, she turned to leave.

"Can you really cure my son?"

"My lord, please don't ask such questions. If it weren't for me last time, do you think your son would have had the chance to be so arrogant?" Yun Yi pouted. "This is your only chance." After saying that, she turned to leave again.

"Alright." The Marquis of Zhenbei finally nodded.

"Are you still able to leave?" Yunyi glanced at the He brothers.

The two men got up and each helped their wives to their feet.

"Wait for me at the city gate. Once things are settled here, come with me to Black City."

The four people nodded, then turned and slowly walked away, but they hadn't gone far when they collapsed with a thud.

When a doctor went over to take a look, he found that all four people had died.

Yunyi glanced at Luo Yu in the crowd, then followed him into the Marquis's residence.

Luo Yu, along with Qiao Yue and several other helpful people, hired an oxcart to take the four of them away.

Marquis Zhenbei frowned.

"I've lost out," Yun Yi frowned. "Luckily they died in time. If I had been saved by Young Master Bai before I died, I would have lost everything."

"Then what do you want?" Marquis Zhenbei rubbed his head and washed it. He didn't doubt the deaths of the He family members. After all, the parents were in despair after losing their child.

"Pay the consultation fee."

"Alright." Marquis Zhenbei nodded and sent over five hundred taels of silver.

Yunyi took out silver needles and inserted them into Bai An's body: "My lord, it's fortunate that you made the decision in time. If it had been delayed for two more days, even a miracle worker wouldn't have been able to save the second young master."

Marquis Zhenbei frowned.

Fifteen minutes later, Yunyi put away the silver needles, then had someone turn Bai An over, and then used silver needles to prick his entire back.

Another quarter of an hour passed, and the silver needle was removed.

But on the tip of one of the needles, a drop of black blood was found.

"My lord, the second young master was poisoned before."

"what?"

Yunyi placed the drop of black blood on the cloth, then sniffed it: "It's made with datura flowers. It's not fatal, but over time, it can cause delusions and hallucinations..."

Since she can't contact the Lady of the Marquis of Zhenbei in the capital for the time being, let the Marquis of Zhenbei expose himself. The Lady of the Marquis of Zhenbei is no ordinary person.

Nan Zhiyi's father, Nan Yuan, was the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, a third-rank official. His position wasn't very high, but it was equivalent to the president of Peking University, a leading figure among scholars. Although that wasn't much, her mother, Lin Yuan, was not only the only daughter of the wealthy Lin family in Jiangnan, but also the cousin of the Empress Dowager Hong in the palace.

Consort Hong was the late Emperor's Noble Consort and the only one of his consorts still alive. She is now over sixty years old. More importantly, she once saved the current Emperor Shun, and she has no children.

Emperor Shun treated her with the same filial piety as his mother.

In the palace, she would be like an empress dowager.

She just wanted to see if Bai Jianming and Nan Zhiyi really got into a fight, and whether the current Consort Chen or the Dowager Consort Hong would be more powerful.

*Crack!* The Marquis of Zhenbei slapped off a corner of the table next to him. He said, "Ah, An'er was so smart and cute when she was little. How could she have become so awful? It turns out she was tricked."

Yunyi's lips curled up slightly: "Originally, it would have been cured in one go, but now we can't wake him up immediately. We need to detoxify him first, otherwise, the toxins will continue to erode his body and brain, and the consequences... are hard to say."

"Then hurry up and solve it."

"That's another price."

"You..." The Marquis of Zhenbei was speechless with anger. In the end, he had no choice but to send another five hundred taels of silver. "Is that enough?"

"It's alright." Yun Yi nodded with a smile, put all one thousand taels of silver ingots into her bundle, then turned and put them into her spatial storage, transferring the few unused porcelain bowls prepared in her space to her bundle.

Yunyi made a prescription, had someone fill out the medicine, and then brewed it and fed it to Bai'an.

Although she was unconscious, Bai An still had the ability to swallow.

Not long after he bent down to feed her, she suddenly made a sound and vomited a mouthful of black blood.

After everyone cleaned up the vomit, Yunyi took his pulse again: "It's working. After taking it for three consecutive days, he will vomit three mouthfuls of black blood to clear out the toxins. Then, after acupuncture, he will wake up." As she spoke, she got up, took a handkerchief, and wiped her hands. "I'll come back in three days."

Marquis Zhenbei wanted to suggest that she stay temporarily, but ultimately didn't say anything. After all, this woman was no ordinary woman, and forcing her would not end well if she was unwilling. He could only nod and say, "I hope you won't forget."

"How could that be?" Yunyi smiled. "You've paid, so you're my customer. The customer is king."

Shangdi? What the hell? But the Marquis of Zhenbei didn't have the energy to care.

After leaving the Zhenbei Marquis's residence, they encountered Luo Yu and Qiao Yue waiting outside the city. Of course, the He family members who were originally dead were now all crammed into a carriage.

"Thank you, Brother Qiao." Yunyi took ten taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand. "If you ever run into trouble, remember to go to Black City and find Boss Yun of the Fengyun Gang. I will definitely help if I can."

She needs to design a logo for the gang when she gets back; it can also serve as a token of their loyalty. However, she needs to make one that no one can forge.

Qiao Yue wanted to decline, but seeing Yun Yi's firm attitude, he could only thank her. Of course, he didn't expect that his wife's momentary kindness would actually save their family's lives in the future.

The carriage was rented, and a coachman was with it.

Yunyi gave a shout, summoned Xiaobai, and then gave the coachman twenty taels of silver to buy the carriage.

The coachman hurriedly waved his hand: "This cart of boxes isn't worth that much."

"Here, help us change into horses." Yunyi stuffed the gold ingot into the other party's hand.

Soon, the horses were changed, the driver led his old horse away, and they set off for Black City.
