As soon as these words came out, the reactions of Zhang Zhen and Yang Bantou were very interesting. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Zhen said directly: "Where did you get the medicine?" ”

And Yang Bantou glanced at Steward Zhao meaningfully.

Steward Zhao noticed Yang Bantou's eyes, his face immediately turned red, his hands were a little trembling, and he pointed at Yang Bantou and said, "You, you, you...... Do you suspect that I want to be unfavorable to my young master? I...... I ......" he was so angry that he couldn't finish his words, looked around quickly, and actually grabbed the medicinal materials in the paper bag and stuffed them into his mouth, swallowed them, and said in a hoarse voice: "I am today, I will ...... today"

The paper bag was full of rough gravel such as cinnabar, and Steward Zhao probably scratched his throat, and soon couldn't speak, but his mouth kept opening and closing, and his eyes were slightly bulging, and the sound was terrifying.

Yang Bantou was frightened and apologized vigorously.

Seeing Steward Zhao's reaction like this, Zhang Zhen was a little touched. The housekeeper of the Zhao family is a master and servant to Zhao Lei, but in fact, he is not much different from his father and son.

Zhang Zhen poured a glass of water from the stoneware pot on the table, and thought that the cup was too small, so he directly handed the pot to Steward Zhao. Steward Zhao waved his hand and refused, with a sad expression.

Seeing this, Hua Lianrui said coldly: "What? Do you want to die? Go ahead. I'm waiting to see the murderer of Zhao Lei smile on the grave of the two of you. ”

Steward Zhao's body was shocked, and he turned his head to look at Zhao Lei, who was lying in a coma on the bamboo bed, and his expression became sad and indignant again. didn't wait for Zhang Zhen to hand it over, he directly snatched the teapot from his hand, poured a big mouthful, swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva, and said to Zhang Zhen very hard although his voice was hoarse: "You come with me, I'll take you to find the pharmacy shopkeeper!" Then he lifted his feet and walked out the door.

Zhang Zhen picked up the paper bag with medicinal herbs and just wanted to keep up, Hua Lianrui suddenly said: "You guys go, I want to go back to Tongyu County." ”

"Back to the county seat? Just come and go? ”

"Get the antidote."

"You have an antidote?" Zhang Zhen was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, it's in Yixiangyuan, so I'll have to go back and get it."

Zhang Zhen remembered something and said, "I didn't know that you were so proficient in medical science. ”

The corners of Hua Lianrui's lips lifted, and the expression on her face changed to the female goblin who charmed all beings: "You don't know much." ”

Leaving the small courtyard, the two passers-by parted ways, Hua Lianrui went back to the hotel to find his horse, and Zhang Zhenyang went to Beixinzhuang Pharmacy with Steward Zhao. Along the way, Yang Bantou knew that he was in trouble, and he lowered his eyebrows and was silent.

The pharmacy is in the center of Zhuangzi, with gray tiles and gray walls, three big characters of "Huichun Hall" on the top of the door, and the left and right inlays of "Duhuo Ganoderma lucidum grass Angelica He Shou Wu". They are all names of medicinal herbs, and the pun has a long meaning, and it is wonderfully written.

Standing at the door, a simple and heavy sense of age came to my face.

The three of them stepped into the store.

Behind the counter stood a young man in a gray coat and a small hat, and when he saw the three of them, he only said to the distinguished guests, and hurriedly greeted: "What medicine do you want to grab?" Is there a recipe? ”

Steward Zhao stepped forward and grabbed his placket, and said in a hoarse voice: "What about your shopkeeper?" Let him out! ”

The young man had probably never seen such a battle, and everyone was frightened and stupid, unable to speak, only pulling Steward Zhao's arm to break free.

Zhang Zhen patted Steward Zhao's shoulder to signal him to calm down, Steward Zhao pushed the young man, but still let go of his hand, still with great indignation in his eyes.

Zhang Zhen said to the young man who was at a loss: "What about your shopkeeper?" ”

The young man raised a hand in a daze, pointed to the back, and stammered: "Our shopkeeper is here, in the back hall......"

"You go and get him, we have something to ask him." Zhang Zhen said.

"Oh, good, good...... Wait a minute......"

The young man hurriedly turned around and lifted the curtain to the back hall. After a while, he came out again, with a somewhat timid look, only half of his body leaned out of the curtain, glanced at Zhang Zhen and quickly looked away, and said, "Our shopkeeper's ...... He...... Absence. ”

With such words and expressions, he almost wrote the word "lying" directly on his face.

Steward Zhao wanted to get angry, but Zhang Zhen had already sneered, directly pushed the young man away, and hurried to the back hall.

There was no one in the back hall, but the door from the back hall to the backyard was open. Zhang Zhen ran out of the backroom and saw a person open the backyard door and wanted to escape.

Zhang Zhen hurriedly ran two steps, grabbed his back robe, and said sharply: "I want to run!" Are you still ...... Well? ”

Zhang Zhen was stunned for a moment.

The man turned around, in his fifties, and his appearance was clear.

Sinwe.

"How are you?" Zhang Zhen then remembered that when Old Man Xin introduced himself outside the county office, he had said that he was a medicinal herb merchant, but why...... Zhang Zhen didn't understand.

Old man Xin was caught, but he didn't have much to panic, he arched his hand, his face was as usual, and he said lightly: "It turned out to be Zhang Zhutou, Zhang Zhutou is not harmed, I don't know if the haunted case has been investigated?" ”

His expression was no longer eager to avenge his son, and was replaced by a polite machine.

"Really?" Zhang Zhen said, "Why? ”

Old man Xin's expression was calm: "So far, the old man has only one question, how did you find me?" ”

"Medicine, Xiao Shaozi." Zhang Zhen said.

Combined with Zhang Zhen's previous reaction, Old Man Xin suddenly said: "It turns out that you found the pharmacy shopkeeper, not me." Then he wondered: "Who recognized this medicine?" ”

"A friend of mine."

Old man Xin nodded, his brows furrowed, his face cloudy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Why?" Zhang Zhen asked again.

"Why? Why ......" Xin Lao'er smiled, with a bit of pathos in his laughter, and suddenly raised his voice again: "For my son who died tragically!" ”

Zhang Zhen said suspiciously: "Your son? Your son is not being ......"

At this moment, Steward Zhao and Yang Bantou also rushed over.

As soon as he saw Old Man Xin, Steward Zhao immediately said in a loud voice: "It's him!" That's him! This old thief gave me the ...... Medicine ......" His voice was hoarse, and he could barely make a sound in the end, but he still tried his best to shout out the last word "medicine".

After that, I stepped forward and wanted to do it.

Zhang Zhen stopped him.

Yang Bantou's first reaction was similar to Zhang Zhen's, and he also looked stunned, and said, "What...... How are you? You...... It's not ......"

Old man Xin squinted at Steward Zhao and sneered, and said hehehe: "Look at your dead father's appearance, how is he surnamed Zhao?" Lose your marbles? He's dead? Hahahaha-" He smiled more and more openly, and the whole person was extremely proud.

Steward Zhao's face changed again, and he struggled to swing his fist to hit Old Man Xin.

Zhang Zhen stopped him tightly, turned his head to Old Man Xin and said, there was anger in his voice: "How did your son die?" Why do you have to get along with Zhao Gongzi? ”

"How did you die?" With monstrous hatred in his eyes, Old Man Xin stared at Steward Zhao, and said in a terrible voice: "My son was beaten to death by this group of animals of the Black Tiger Gang!" He then said: "They killed my son, and I will let his son Zhao Laohu live better than die!" I want Zhao Laohu to know what it means to be unpleasant! I will let him know what it means that the people should not be deceived. I'm going to watch his son turn into a madman idiot! I'm going to let him live in remorse and pain for the rest of his life! ”

Old man Xin gritted his teeth and cracked his eyes, almost crazy.

Zhang Zhen sighed secretly and fell silent, even Steward Zhao was stunned, and the hand he waved out stopped in the air and forgot to put it down.

"But you ...... Why did you go to Yamen to report the case? After a long while, Zhang Zhen spoke.

Old man Xin said: "I want to make things bigger, so that everyone in the county knows that Zhao Laohu's son is crazy." I went to report the case first, thinking that with a group of people in the yamen who were eating and waiting for death, they would definitely not find me, but I didn't expect it...... Met such a ruthless character as you......"

He laughed and said faintly: "If I don't report the case, you may not come to investigate...... Hehe, being smart is mistaken for being smart......"

The shock of hearing the truth at first time slowly eased, and the whole case began to become clear. Now that he found the real murderer, Zhang Zhen signaled to Yang Bantou, Yang Bantou walked to Old Man Xin's side with his head bored, his mouth opened, and he didn't say the cruel words of catching people quickly, but silently took out the standing rope from his body to tie Old Man Xin's hand.

Old man Xin let him do it, and he didn't have the slightest intention of resisting.

was about to pull him away, Zhang Zhen suddenly remembered something, frowned, and said: "What frightened Zhao Lei, and what killed Xin San, what is it?" ”

"I ...... I...... I know. ”

Before Old Man Xin could speak, a young voice sounded.

Several people looked at him together, and saw that it was the guy in the gray hat, and he was a little uneasy when he saw so many people looking at him.

"You know?" Zhang Zhen asked at him.

The young man nodded timidly, and then walked to the foot of the southeast wall of the backyard, where there was a large wooden chest with the door facing forward, and an iron rod latched.

When the young man walked past a few people, Old Man Xin smiled coldly and said, "After I leave, this Rejuvenation Hall will be yours." ”

The young man's face was flushed, and he deliberately ignored Old Man Xin.

He walked over to the wooden box, lifted the iron bar, opened the door, and quickly flashed to the side.

I heard a loud noise, and something suddenly came out of the wooden box. It took two steps, was immediately strangled by the iron chain around its neck, and then turned around twice in a violent way, staring at everyone viciously.

"This ...... What is it? ”

Yang Bantou was the first to speak, dumbfounded.

It is the size of a calf, with high shoulders and a smooth spine, a long neck, a small head, a pair of large ears that attract the wind, a yellow fur with many black spots, and a long hairline on the back of the neck.

It whimpered in a way that was hard to put into words.

"Jackal." Zhang Zhen stared at it and said, "It is said to be a beast in southern Xinjiang that is still south, with a vicious nature, a thick jaw, and can bite off bones in one bite. ”

Old man Xin was a little surprised: "I didn't expect that you are quite knowledgeable." ”

Zhang Zhen said: "It seems that you really took great pains to deal with Zhao Lei. ”

Old man Xin laughed hesitantly: "Zhao Laohu's son, it's worth these thoughts!" ”
