I blamed myself very much for letting people go, it was the only opportunity, but I lost it, and I almost went blind, it was really a failure.

When I returned to the house, Ah Yan had already woken up, I didn't dare to look at Mrs. and Ah Yan, seeing them looking at me, I could only say hesitantly: "No...... Didn't catch it. He gassed and fled, and I ...... I'm sorry. ”

Ah Yan lowered her eyes in disappointment, and her wife comforted her on the side: "Ah Yan, it's okay, we can definitely still find it, he can't escape." ”

"Yes...... That's the only chance...... I don't have to make a big deal and trouble more people......"

I looked at Ah Yan's expression, feeling a little irritable, but I didn't know why.

"Ah Yan, I'm sorry, I had already caught him, but I didn't expect him to use three indiscriminate means to escape......"

"It's okay, I understand."

Ah Yan closed her eyes again, and I said to my wife, "Let Ah Yan rest for a while." Madame looked at Ah Yan worriedly, and walked out of the house with me.

"This matter is not simple, Yuxing, you just go to find Xuan Zhutou, he is very experienced in this kind of thing, and he will definitely be able to help us." Madame said.

I thought about it for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

When the lady saw that I agreed, she said, "Go and rest, for you have worked hard for the past few days." If there's anything wrong with Ah Yan, you can wake me up. ”

After that, he went back to the house. I stood alone in the courtyard, thinking about the mess, but I couldn't think of anything.

Due to my previous habits, I have always had a very light sleep. In the middle of the night, I heard some rustling sounds, so I half-opened my eyes to observe. Ah Yan probably slept well, got up, poured water on the table to drink, and then sat back on the bed, looking at the window.

After a while, I was about to close my eyes, but suddenly I saw Ah Yan looking at me.

My heart was restless before going to bed again, and I thought of Ah Yan's reaction, but why didn't I think of her truest thoughts?

Fortunately, Ah Yan just stared at me for a while and then lay down again, what I can guarantee is that I slept under the window, no matter how bright the moonlight was outside, it was still very dark where I was, and she wouldn't see that my eyes were slightly open.

As soon as I slept until dawn, I got up, rinsed my mouth and washed my face, thinking about going to the yamen to find Xuan Lin and catch medicine for my wife. Ah Yan was still asleep, and when I was just about to go out, I suddenly heard Ah Yan shouting, "Meet the stars." ”

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell? ”

"Can you pour me a glass of water?"

I went and poured water for her and helped her up, she looked very weak, I reached out to see her pulse, but she clapped her hands, and she said, "I'm not used to people touching me." ”

Of course, I understand what Ah Yan is thinking now, but she won't say it bluntly when the time comes, or she won't say what she thinks until I tell the truth she wants.

"Okay, then I'll go first, I'm going to find Xuan Zhutou to help you investigate the case." I stood up and took a step back.

"Hmm."

Ah Yan replied hastily, and I went out, thinking that now the external enemy has not disappeared, and the internal enemy has also appeared.

I put on a veil and went to the yamen to find Xuan Lonely. Judging by my appearance, I am completely a weak woman, and I will not be a killer pursued by the yamen at all. After someone went in to inform him, Xuan Lin quickly walked out of it, and when he saw me, he was stunned for a moment, and then frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Isn't this looking for Xuan to catch the head and handle the case."

"Aren't you afraid of being caught? You are a felony in the Yamen. ”

"Youxuan catches the head, what am I afraid of?"

Xuan looked at me incredulously and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"The mother of one of Mrs. Chang's maids died and was drugged, please check. But I've already written down what that person looks like, and it's up to you to help out. ”

"I will do my best to help with the affairs of the people. But this kind of thing, you have to go inside and talk about it. ”

"Of course that's fine, I didn't do anything bad."

Xuan Lin frowned and looked at me and said, "Follow me." ”

When I arrived at the lonely room, I couldn't help but sigh that it was really simple, in the center was a wooden table, which was full of all kinds of books and some papers to record cases, and on the east side was a bed, and the quilt on it was also very thin and tattered, and the pillow had been slept out of the pit, and there was nothing else. When we arrived, there was a painter with a pen in his hand and a sketchpad on his back.

"The dignified prince actually lives in such a broken place, don't you have a good quilt and pillow in your house?"

"What kind of good quilt pillow do you want for the case? I'd rather sleep on the table. ”

"People from Xuanfu, are you used to living like this?"

"Don't talk about that." Xuan Shi seemed a little uncomfortable and asked, "Are you the only one who remembers that person's appearance?" ”

"I was the only one who went to arrest him, but unfortunately he escaped."

I told me what had happened, including what medicine was used, what effects it had, and how detailed it was, and Xuan was satisfied with my description, but it was still not enough to catch the man.

"There are too many people coming and going in the capital, if you just rely on your looks to arrest people, I don't know when you will be caught. I'd rather there was some way to get that person to show up in person. Xuan Lin took the painter's painting, waved his hand, and let the painter leave.

I shook my head and said, "No way, he has already escaped, and it is impossible to be fooled again." It was my negligence at the time not to see the powder on his hands, and if I had prevented his plot at the time, I would not be suspected now. ”

"Doubtful?"

"Ah Yan doubted me, but she didn't say it."

"She didn't show anything, don't think too much."

"No," I said, looking at Xuan Lin earnestly, "the circumstances in which we grew up forced us to pay attention to everyone's every word and action, including any look or smile, and if we were not careful, we would easily die. You haven't experienced those days, you don't have to convince me to just think too much, I'd rather think more to save my life. ”

Xuan Xiao opened his mouth, hesitated for a while, and said: "Okay, I believe in you, I will try my best to help in this matter, and I will send people to post wanted notices one after another in the next few days." ”

"Thank you, Xuan."

I smiled and was about to leave, but Xuan Lin suddenly grabbed my arm and said, "Don't come to the Yamen so rashly in the future, just go to Xuanfu." ”

I was stunned for a moment and smiled, "Okay." ”

Xuan Lonely is still very hypocritical, of course the house is comfortable, there is everything, warm in winter and cool in summer, I am just an excuse for him to go back to the house and sleep well.

"Are you going home?" He asked.

"I'm going to get medicine for Madame."

"I'll go with you."

"Who are you grabbing the medicine for?"

Xuan Lin glanced at me and said, "Help the people of a disease, in short, you won't use public funds, you can rest assured." ”

It was ironic, but I just smiled and didn't say anything. I believe that Xuan Lin himself is kind, but I can't fully believe that what he says is what he does.

After separating from the pharmacy, I went back to the house, boiled medicine for my wife in the kitchen, and when I went to my wife's house with the medicine, Ah Yan walked out of our room with a pale face, and when she saw me, her eyes lit up, and she walked over with a quick pace, and shouted, "Yuxing, wait for me, I'll help." ”

Ah Yan screamed for help, but her body was pounced, I instantly understood her intentions, took a step back, held the medicine bowl with my right hand, and held Ah Yan with my left hand.

"Be careful."

I stared at her for a moment, let go of my left hand and walked into Madame's room, Lin Hua was teaching Madame to read poetry, smelled the medicine, and almost fainted.

"Lin Hua, if you don't get used to staying still, go back to the house, and come back when the smell of medicine dissipates a little." Madame said.

"No, I smell it, thank you, ma'am."

Seeing Lin Hua's breathlessness, I rolled my eyes and said to my wife: "I have already told Xuan Lin about Ah Yan, and he will send someone to post a wanted notice." ”

"Okay, it's good if I can help, I told you that Xuan Zhutou must be a good person, and he often helps the people."

"Of course, of course." I smiled in response.

Ah Yan did not come in from the courtyard, and I said to my wife, "I'll go and see Ah Yan." Madame nodded, and I walked out of the house.
