The next night, Shao Qingyuan and Gu Yundong received Dong Xiulan's letter as expected.
Both of them were a little surprised, and hurriedly opened the letter regardless of the tiredness of the day.
After reading it, both of them were dumbfounded.
"The second son of the Li family actually has your things?" Gu Yundong's face was full of disbelief.
Shao Qingyuan frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "When old man Li took me home, he exchanged clothes with the third son of the Tao family. The handkerchief might belong to the third son of the Tao family."
"But it's also possible, it's yours." Gu Yundong was unwilling to let go of the only clue. After reading the letter just now, brother Shao's eyes lit up, which showed that he was actually looking forward to finding his biological parents. of.
In this case, what's the point of looking for it?
Maybe Brother Shao's family is still looking for him after all these years?
"Anyway, it's just speculation now. Since the second son of the Li family wants us to attend the wedding banquet, we should go there in a month. After we get the handkerchief, we can investigate and find out the result. .¡±
Shao Qingyuan nodded, "OK."
"You said, the old man in the Li family has your things in the second-hand store, so does Boss Li also have them?"
"Probably not. Even if there was, I'm afraid they would have sold it." Shao Qingyuan said, "After Old Man Li died, I searched in Boss Li's house to find out his life experience, but found nothing."
And Aunt Dong's letter also said that old man Li burned all the clothes and objects he was wearing back then, leaving nothing behind. It was an accident that Li's second son got that handkerchief.
Besides, Boss Li is greedy for life and afraid of death. If he really had something in his hand, he would definitely use it as a bargaining chip when he went to beat him up.
Gu Yundong felt a little regretful when he heard it, and it seemed that he could only wait to see Li Lao Er in a month.
"It's not urgent." Shao Qingyuan lit the letter on a candle, and after watching it gradually burn to ashes, he said, "There is no time to delay the vaccinia vaccination. Tomorrow, we will go to Dai's mansion first and convey the emperor's will to you. Mr. Dai."
Speaking of this, Gu Yundong felt a little headache.
The emperor is too good at giving people problems.
"It's not easy to handle. After all, no one has ever tried cowpox vaccination. Everyone is afraid of death. I'm afraid no one is willing to be the first experimenter. Even if the emperor speaks well and the prince personally proves it, the distance is too far. For most people, it¡¯s always a little less convincing if you haven¡¯t seen it with your own eyes.¡±
Smallpox, some people will get it, and some people won't get it.
Even if it works, it may survive.
Everyone will have a fluke and feel that they are the lucky one.
Who wants to take the risk that vaccination is just prophylaxis, or something they've never seen before? What if it fails and they die?
The problem is that the emperor has issued a decree that too rough methods cannot be used.
Only four words popped up on Gu Yundong's forehead-convincing people with virtue? ?
Sure enough, they went to Dai's mansion the next day, and after Gu Yundong went to find Mrs. Dai, Shao Qingyuan met the magistrate Dai.
After Dai Zhifu heard the order brought by Shao Qingyuan, his brows were furrowed.
The first sentence is, "This is not easy."
He sighed and walked back and forth twice in the same place, and finally stood in front of Shao Qingyuan again, and asked him, "Do you have an idea in mind?"
