Chapter 258: Pills

After dinner that day, Ma Xingshun was stepped on by someone on the street, and when he looked up, he saw a familiar face, which was Zhang Chunhua. He immediately followed him, but Zhang Chunhua drilled into the crowd and disappeared. Ma Xingshun was searching and picked up a letter, and the beautiful font on the envelope indicated that it was written by a woman. He pulled out the letter paper and took a look, and it turned out to be a love letter from Haruka on a date with her cousin.

Ma Xingshun had bad intentions for a while, and wanted to pretend to be Chunhua's cousin to go to the appointment. After the third watch that night, he took a dual-purpose knife for killing pigs and cattle that he had just made, and quietly slipped to Qixingzhuang according to Chunhua's instructions in the letter.

The door of Chunhua's room was closed, and he had to open the window and climb into the house. When he opened the curtain of Chunhua's tent, he found two people lying on the bed, and he was immediately annoyed, thinking that Chunhua's cousin had come in advance, and the two had done something wrong. Anger rose from the heart, evil to the side of the guts, he picked up the butcher's knife and slashed down the necks of the two people lying on the bed, poor pair of sister flowers, before they understood what was going on, they did the knife under the soul.

After the horse butcher had killed someone, he wrapped his knife around his waist, stuck it in his waist, took off his bloodstained clothes, wrapped two human heads, and carried them out into the street.

In the dead of night, the horse butcher saw that the door of Zhang's house, which was selling steamed buns, was still open, and a faint light shot out of the crack in the door, only to hear Zhang's father say to his wife: "It's still early, you sleep a little longer, take advantage of the moonlight, I'll go and carry the water back." ”

Ma Xingshun took advantage of Uncle Zhang's time to carry water and quietly threw the head into his water tank. Then he hurried home, afraid of alarming his family, and hid the dual-purpose knife wrapped around his waist into a kiln pit in the bamboo forest in the backyard. But he didn't know why the murder weapon appeared in the Heavenly King's Palace.

Li Tao sneered: "This is how even the gods don't let go of murderers." ”

Originally. Li Tao only guessed that Ma Xingshun was suspected of murder, but there was no definite evidence. So he used the psychological tactic of "being a thief with a weak heart" to write the words "murderer" on the newly painted walls. The murderer had a ghost in his heart, and he was locked in the palace of the Heavenly King for fear that the Bodhisattva would leave a message on his back, so he pressed his back against the wall, thinking that the Bodhisattva would not be able to do it. As everyone knows, this happened to fall into Li Tao's scheme and exposed the truth.

After Ma Xingshun subdued the law, the local people who did not know the truth firmly believed that it was the Bodhisattva of the Heavenly King Hall who appeared and caught the murderer.

……

"Liu County Order. I wonder what your plans are for the future? Through this case, Li Tao still recognizes Liu Youqiu's ability to do things.

"Naturally, I'll still be my county magistrate!" Liu Youqiu blurted out, and he seemed to hear a different meaning from Li Tao's words. Tentatively asked, "I don't know what advice King Lantian has?" ”

Li Tao said quietly: "I want to give Liu County Commander a great opportunity to take the position, I don't know what Liu County Commander wants?" ”

Liu Youqiu showed a longing look on his face: "Please teach King Lantian!" ”

"You go to the Five Kings' Mansion in Chang'an to meet the King of Linzi, and say that I recommended you to come, and he will naturally understand!"

"Oh!" Listening to Li Tao say this without a head or a brain. Liu Youqiu responded. But I was still a little disappointed in my heart.

"If you believe me, do as I say!" If you don't believe it, don't regret it in the future. In short, it's up to you to go or not! ”

After that, Li Tao got up and left without looking back.

……

"Atau, where have you been these days? Did you know, Daddy, they're coming! Hua Jingjing saw Li Tao. There was irrepressible joy on his face.

"Lao Nie brought them back? That's great! Li Tao said happily: "Where are they now?" ”

"Zhang Zhao has placed them in the house that Jing'anfang has set up in advance!"

"Jing'anfang? Yes, it's not too far from us! Li Tao said to himself: "It seems that I have to go and meet my father-in-law!" ”

Hua Jingjing's face turned red when she heard this: "Your skin is getting thicker and thicker!" ”

……

After greeting Hua Yunfeng's family. Li Tao said to Hua Jingjing: "Jingjing, you go and talk to A-Niang, I have something to do with Hua Lang!" ”

Hua Jingjing knew that Li Tao had something to discuss with her father, and muttered softly: "When you were with me before, you were called my father-in-law, but now I will change my name to Hua Langzhong!" ”

Hua Jingjing's aunt said on the side: "Jingjing, what are you muttering? ”

Hua Jingjing stuck out her tongue: "It's nothing, Ah Niang, let's go to your house to talk." ”

Watching Hua Jingjing leave, Li Tao covered the door, took out something from his arms and handed it to Hua Yunfeng, and said with a solemn expression: "Hua Langzhong, you are proficient in pharmacology, help me see what kind of medicine this is?" ”

Hua Yunfeng took a black pill from Li Tao's hand and looked at it carefully.

The pill on Li Tao's body was obtained from Qian Song's mansion, Qian Song framed King Xiang and Princess Taiping in the witch Gu case After being sent to the prison of the Criminal Department, he did not commit suicide in fear of crime, according to his confession, someone forced him to take the pill at the beginning, and then he had to take it again every two months, otherwise he would have a headache and would be worse than death. In order to survive, he had to obey those people's orders. This time, framing King Xiang and Princess Taiping in the witch Gu case was the instruction given to him by the other party.

Li Tao sent Pei Yue to infiltrate the Qian Mansion, and sure enough, he found the pill that Qian Song had not had time to take. Originally, Li Tao was very confident that he would definitely be able to find the person behind the scenes along Qian Song's line, but who would have thought that Qian Song would be killed in the prison of the Criminal Department that night. As soon as Qian Song died, the clue was broken, and Li Tao could only hope for the pill left in his hand.

Since Qian Song can be forced to take the pill, then the officials of the DPRK and China will definitely not be the only one who is forced to take the pill. In order not to startle the snake, Li Tao did not find someone to identify the pill at random, and it was not until he saw Hua Yunfeng today that he took out the pill.

"This pill is very weird, it should come from the Western Regions." Hua Yunfeng said cautiously.

"Then you must know this medicine?" Li Tao was overjoyed.

Hua Langzhong shook his head: "I don't know!" ”

"Huh?" Li Tao was a little disappointed.

Hua Yunfeng saw Li Tao's disappointed look, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know, someone definitely knows!" ”

"Does anyone really know?" Li Tao rekindled hope.

"Of the people I know, there are two people who are good at pharmacology and are good at distinguishing medicinal herbs. One is Tang Yiping, the divine doctor of Qiancao, but he has not shown up for a long time, traveling all over the world, and he does not know what to do; The other is Xu Langzhong of Anrentang in Chang'an City, who has practiced medicine for decades and has developed a talent for identifying pills. When I was a physician, I had a close personal relationship with him, and I can introduce you to him. It won't be a few days before you know the results. ”

"Then thank you Hua Langzhong!" Li Tao's expression perked up, as long as he learned the information of the pill, he would be able to follow this clue to find the real culprit behind the scenes. (To be continued......)
