"Think about it again." Kang Xu stared at him intently.

"I think I did tell someone about it, but I'm not sure." Zhang Hebi tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said with some hesitation.

"What do you mean by that?" Kang Xu touched his nose and asked in a little surprise.

"At the time, I was drunk and I don't know if I had said anything about it. I just vaguely remember that I seemed to have said to others that I was going to take Zhaoxue back to my hometown or something. Zhang Hebi thumped his head and said honestly.

Kang Xu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked, "Who is that person?" ”

"Lu Jitong."

Kang Xu felt that this name was somewhat familiar, he pondered for a while, and suddenly remembered that when he went to Tao's house during the day, Mrs. Tao had also mentioned this name.

"Lu Jitong? Who is he? Kang Xu asked in a deep voice.

"Brother Lu is the son of the Lu family, who fights for righteousness and wealth, and is good at fighting grievances. When I first arrived in Zhengyang City, I was bullied by the ruffians, and it was Brother Lu who rescued me. After that, we became close friends and drank together. That day, after I received that Zhao Xue was going to elope with me, I went to say goodbye to Brother Lu, I didn't want to drink too much, and I forgot if I had said anything about eloping. Zhang Hebi patted his head in annoyance and said.

Kang Xu touched his nose and said, "But I heard that Lu Jitong is a drunkard, lustful, and a bad gambler, and he is an out-and-out bastard, which is far from what you said!" ”

Zhang Hebi was stunned, he scratched his head and said: "These are all rumors that some people are jealous of Brother Lu and deliberately spread, but in fact, Brother Lu is a very caring person. ”

"Who are you listening to?" Kang Xu was a little curious.

"Brother Lu said it himself." Zhang Hebi replied honestly.

Kang Xu couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Do you believe what he said?" ”

"During this time, if it weren't for Brother Lu taking care of me all the time. I had starved to death in the streets, and of course I believed him. Zhang Hebi said solemnly.

Kang Xu looked at Zhang Hebi strangely. I don't know whether to call him simple or stupid.

Anyway. Now he finally has a direction to investigate.

Since this Lu Jitong appeared in the mouths of Mrs. Tao and Zhang Hebi, he had to investigate.

"Where did you go after you left the bamboo forest?" Kang Xu then asked.

"I waited near the bamboo forest until dawn, and I didn't see Zhaoxue coming, I was disheartened, and I only felt that Zhaoxue regretted it, so she didn't see me. I waited around there for another day, but Zhaoxue still didn't come, so I wanted to go back to the city. Ask Zhaoxue to understand. But as soon as I entered the city gate, I met Zhou Aliu holding a string of jade pendants, and I recognized at a glance that it was a token of love I gave to Zhaoxue, so I had an argument with him. Zhang Hebi said.

Kang Xu listened carefully, and suddenly he frowned and interrupted him: "You mean that the jade pendant is a token of love that you gave to Tao Zhaoxue?" ”

Zhang Hebi nodded, and said with a sad face: "This jade pendant Zhaoxue has always worn with me, and when I saw the fisherman holding the jade pendant, my heart became more and more sad." I thought that Zhao Xue broke off with me, so I threw away the jade pendant. I thought about giving up, but when I thought that this jade pendant was a family heirloom of my Zhang family, I argued with him. In the end, it went straight to the court. ”

Kang Xu closed his eyes and thought back to what had happened during the day.

First, Zhang Hebi and Zhou Aliu had an argument over the jade pendant, and then Tao's mother reported that Tao Zhaoxue's body was found. Originally, he didn't think of any connection between the two, but he said so. He instantly understood the relationship.

The jade pendant is carried by Tao Zhaoxue, which is naturally true. But it fell into the hands of Zhou Aliu, which is a little strange.

According to Zhou Aliu, he was fishing for a jade pendant from the river. In other words, the place where the jade pendant is located is likely to be the place where Tao Zhaoxue's body was dumped.

If this speculation is correct, then the scene of Tao Zhaoxue's murder is likely to be near Hetou Village.

Thinking of this, Kang Xu gradually understood the direction of investigation in his heart, and after he said a few words to Zhang Hebi, he hurriedly left the wing.

After Kang Xu left, he did not go back to the room to sleep, but went to the east wing where Li Canghai was.

In the wing room, Li Canghai was lying on the bed bloodless, while Di Qing frowned and took care of him, wiping his sweat from time to time.

Seeing that Di Qing became haggard due to worry, a trace of unbearability flashed in Kang Xu's eyes, and he said softly: "Miss Di, you have been taking care of you for a day, let's go and rest, and I can take care of the adults." ”

Di Qing pursed her lips, her eyes flashed with tears, she pursed her red lips, and said stubbornly: "I have to wait for Canghai to wake up, Canghai has suffered more serious injuries than this, but he is not like now, he has not improved at all, what is going on?" ”

Kang Xu was silent, and after a moment, he comforted: "My lord has been working too hard lately, and with such a serious injury, his body can't recover too quickly. Miss Di, don't worry too much, with Dr. Zhang here, the adults will be safe. ”

Di Qing's nose was sour, and crystal tears immediately hung on her long eyelashes, she carefully wiped Li Canghai's forehead, her eyes were full of tenderness and reluctance.

Kang Xu sighed, shook his head and quietly retreated.

As soon as he exited the door, he happened to meet Zhang Hangsheng who came to change Li Canghai's dressing.

Kang Xu gave him a look, Zhang Xuanming knew it in his heart, and then pushed the door in, silently helping Li Canghai change the dressing.

Kang Xu stood outside the door, and after he finished changing, he walked with him to a side room.

"Doctor Zhang, how is your Excellency now? When will I wake up? Kang Xu asked solemnly.

Zhang Hangming let out a long sigh and said, "My lord...... The toxins in his body have now penetrated into his flesh and blood, and I am afraid that he will not live for three days. ”

"What?" Kang Xu was taken aback, he lowered his voice and asked angrily, "Didn't you say that with you, adults will be fine?" ”

Zhang Hangming shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Master, you don't know anything. The poison in adults is far from being comparable to ordinary poisons, and so far, I have only found more than ten kinds of poisons, and I have not yet distinguished the components of other poisons. ”

"Then try your best to tell!" Kang Xu shouted angrily, he grabbed Zhang's hanging collar and said angrily: "At the beginning, you guaranteed that the adult was safe, but now, you say that the adult will not live for three days?" Zhang hangs, if you can't save the adult, I will never spare you! ”

Zhang Hangming sighed and said, "Now that the matter is now, I can only do my best to obey the destiny of heaven." I will do my best to keep your life alive, but whether you can survive until I find the antidote depends on your own creation. ”

The two talked a few more words, and then left the side room.

In the night, the dark shadow outside the window of the side room swayed, gradually forming a figure.

After listening to the two of them, the figure quietly melted into the night.

I saw a figure, jumping and turning on the roof, and after climbing over the city wall several feet high, I went straight to the dense forest outside the city.

However, just as the figure jumped down, a white figure suddenly appeared on the city wall.

The white figure paused for a moment, then leaped down, followed closely behind the black figure, and ran towards the dense forest.

In the depths of the dark forest, there are several bonfires burning, and next to the bonfires, there are several tents.

Next to the larger campfire in the center, Ryosuke Miyauchi sat cross-legged, staring at the firelight and meditating, while Di Hatian lazily roasted a pheasant.

The aroma of barbecued meat wafts around, and you can't help but want to drool.

"The head of the palace, now that a day and a night have passed, Li Canghai doesn't seem to be dead!" Di hattian turned the wooden stick in his hand and said lightly.

"Di Zuo envoy don't be in a hurry, without our antidote, he will definitely die a miserable death!" Ryosuke Miyauchi said in blunt words.

"Oh, is it? In that case, why does he still come out to handle cases during the day? Di hattian glanced at him, tore off a chicken leg from the roasted brown pheasant, and put it in his mouth to feast on it.

Ryosuke Miyauchi frowned, and said in a deep voice: "This, too, is what I don't understand." Without our antidote, how could he be safe? There must be a reason for this that we don't know. ”

Di Hatian smiled indifferently and said, "You want to know the reason?" ”

"Do you know that?"

Ryosuke Miyauchi looked puzzled, he had full confidence in Dongying's poison, but Li Canghai was clearly poisoned, but he still appeared in front of everyone unharmed, which made him very puzzled.

Di hattian gnawed the chicken leg clean in two bites, and he said disappreciably: "It's very simple, because the person who appeared in front of everyone was not Li Canghai, but someone pretended." ”

"Nani? Are you saying that the person who seems to be safe and sound is not the one we want to kill? Ryosuke Miyauchi asked in surprise.

Di Hatian smiled faintly and said, "Yes, although his height and body shape are extremely similar to Li Canghai, his way of acting and appearance are easy to distinguish, which is why he always wears a veil." I think this must be an attempt by them to confuse the public and make us mistakenly think that Li Canghai is safe and sound, so that we can mess up our own position. ”

Ryosuke Miyauchi nodded suddenly, he felt that Di Hatian's words were very reasonable, tilted his head and thought for a moment, he suddenly stared at Di Hatian and said, "Since you know that someone is pretending to be someone during the day, why do you still ask me?" ”

"It's not idle and boring, I want to communicate with you and enhance the relationship between the two parties." Di hated the sky and said with a grin.

Ryosuke Miyauchi sighed, he didn't hear the hidden meaning of Di Hateen's words.

"It must be wonderful that Di Zuo can think like this. We all serve the Lord and should live in peace. I have offended a lot before, and I hope that the left envoy will forgive the sins. Ryosuke Miyauchi bowed his head to Di Hatian and said.

The corners of Di Hatian's mouth turned up, and the corners of his mouth showed a hint of sneer, he tore off a piece of the roast chicken in his hand and threw it to Ryosuke Miyauchi, and said lightly: "What you said is right, we are all serving the Lord, and we should share the same hatred." What happened before is written off, and from now on, you and I will sincerely cooperate to complete the great cause for the Lord. (To be continued.) )
