The Hanging Pot Medical Hall is a leader, and it should be more responsible in the face of man-made disasters, but it is true that there are not enough people.

Xia Qiu weighed again and again and discussed with Shopkeeper Hong, "Let's take the initiative to contact other medical centers to see if our peers can provide free clinics, and then donate some medicines to help workers suffering from illness?" ”

Shopkeeper Hong had this intention and readily agreed. If this can be done, it will not only help the patient, but also shorten the distance between peers, and everyone can discuss medical skills with each other.

Old man Tu held back his stomach full of anger, if it weren't for the Jin family's bitter persuasion, he would have exploded a long time ago.

He gave Xia Qiu an ultimatum, "You can do it yourself, with me without them, with them without me." If you want to get involved in the hospital, there is no door. ”

Xia Qiu comforted the old man with good wine and food, "Don't worry, master, when I crawl out of the coffin, I will be cut off from the Xia family." In my heart, the master is my only relative. ”

The old man is angry, or the kind that can't be coaxed.

Close relatives?

This sycophant, Old Man Tu didn't eat it, and said angrily: "Then why do you still rent a house for them?" They obviously want to occupy the magpie's nest and leave all the bones you squeezed. ”

"The Xia family is shameless, they just want to beg for benefits, but we are different, practitioners pay attention to conduct, we will have a foothold in Lin County in the future, naturally we can't be angry with them and destroy our reputation. Don't worry, I have a way to get them rolling out of the county with their tails between their legs. ”

"Really?" Old man Tu still didn't believe it, after all, she had the blood of the Xia family in her body, and her broken bones were still connected to tendons.

Xia Qiu bowed his head and said with a dry smile: "I just want to wronged the master for a while, I have already instructed the shopkeeper Hong to never let them harass you, and if they come to trouble you again, you will be a mad dog, and you will not be clean." ”

Old man Tu was a little more angry, and then said worriedly: "You're not afraid that they will ruin your reputation?" ”

"People are watching, and their character is not up to them."

Old man Tu thinks about it, this girl is open-minded, she lowered the price of food when the grain was in chaos, and now she is giving medicine to the people, and the people have their own opinions, so the Xia family can't slander them at will.

Only then did Old Man Tu realize that the turnaround battle in the medical hall was directed and acted by herself.

This girl is no longer the cowardly and helpless person she used to be.

Xia Lao Wu and his wife, Quanxia should also be at ease.

Lu Tingxiu didn't return all night, and sent food over early in the morning in Xia and Qiu.

The passing year was unfavorable, and there was another murder in Lin County.

I didn't go out and didn't turn over the yellow calendar, and I had a positive encounter with the dead body, bad luck, bah.

As soon as Lu Tingxiu had set up a meal, Deputy Xu came in to report that the deceased was found in Xiqiao Mountain, and the hunters who entered the mountain accidentally encountered it. The deceased was bitten in the face by a wild beast, and it was initially inferred that it was a nearby resident.

Lu Tingxiu is a god of death physique, and in his short term of office, more people have died than the previous ones combined.

After eating breakfast, he took Xia Qiu to the room.

There were many marks of wild beast bites on the deceased's body, but the bite marks were small and not like those left by fierce beasts such as tigers and lions.

Lu Tingxiu asked, "Is it possible that it is a wolf?" ”

He shook his head, "Wolves have sharp teeth and claws, and they like to hit the nail on the head, which doesn't match the wounds of the dead. ”

After looking at the wound for a long time, he speculated: "The dog is more likely." ”

Lu Tingxiu looked at the corpse and did find that there was hair, which was similar to a dog in terms of color and size.

However, wild dogs forage in herds, and if they bite a dead person, they should gnaw on how little is left, and when they are hungry, they will pick the meaty parts of their mouths, why do they pick their faces alone?

The dead body was dressed in a coarse coat full of puddings, and at first glance it appeared to be a farmer's family, but his hands were wrong.

Wipe the dirt and blood from the hands of the deceased, which are slender and calloused hands, and it should be in his twenties from the appearance.

These hands are by no means hands that do rough work, but more like the pampered hands of scholars or large families.

"Perhaps, the deceased traveled a long distance and encountered an accident, and it is not impossible to change his clothes." ”

There are few people in Xiqiao Mountain, why did the deceased appear there?

According to the quick investigation, there was no trace of a fight at the scene, and nothing was found except for the body, which was not the scene of the first murder, and the body should have been thrown after death.

There was no other clue, and everyone pinned their hopes on the dead man's bitten face beyond recognition.

The bite was so bad that there was not even a piece of skin left.

This is not in line with the habit of wild dogs gnawing, if it is inferred from murder, the murderer is more like afraid of being recognized and disfigured, but just use a knife to cut flowers or pour sulfuric acid, why bother?

Lu Tingxiu stared at the deceased for a long time, and then asked the servant to clean his face.

When he returned to the government office to wait, Wei Ge walked in, "Lord Lu, the matter has been done." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Lu Tingxiu got up and went straight to Master Yang.

The two of them were mysterious, and Xia Qiu, who was left out in the cold, was unhappy, and Wei Ge was silent.

Xia Qiu picked his ear, "Am I not able to command you anymore?" ”

"You'll find out later." Wei Ge was as slippery as a loach and ran away with a puff of smoke.

About two quarters of an hour, he sent someone to ask for it, saying that the corpse's face had been cleaned up.

Xia Qiu looked at it again and again, in addition to the bite marks, there were several wounds that were smoothed, as if the skin of the face was peeled off with a sharp blade, and the wounds had the tendency to shrink, so they should have been peeled off alive.

Everything is her guess, and she thinks it's absurd.

Lu Tingxiu had seen the wound, but he was not sure.

In order to solve the doubts, I can only ask the old man Tu to come forward.

Old man Tu looked at the corpse, his expression was grim and indignant, "This person was indeed alive and his face was cut off." ”

Xia Qiu was stunned and said, "Master, can a person's face really be changed?" ”

"The ghost doctor Fu family does know how to change faces, but the last line of the Fu family is dead, and there should be no one in this world who knows how to change faces."

When Old Man Tu was just starting out and traveling around the world, he had the honor to meet the head of the Fu family, who had changed the face of the princess who was burned and disfigured by fire in the Yuelun Kingdom, which can be described as a miraculous work.

However, he had only seen the princess before and after the face change, and he had not witnessed the face change process with his own eyes.

Xia Qiu's scalp is numb, if the face swapping technique really exists, it is very likely that Tian Fuwang has changed his identity again, and the case will be even more confusing.

Tian Fuwang is dead, and Mazi no longer exists, which is really depressing news.

She quietly glanced at Lu Tingxiu, who was as calm as before, and arranged for the officials to visit nearby villages and towns to investigate the recent missing people.

When leaving the yamen, Lu Tingxiu reminded Xia Qiu, "Go back to the medical hall and take a look, I gave you a gift." ”

Yo, I've learned to play tricks.

Xia Qiu and Old Man Tu went back to the medical hall, and ran into the panicked Jin family, the Xia family really came to make trouble again in the morning, trying to meddle in the affairs of the medical hall, they wanted to dismiss all the guys in the back kitchen and running the hall, as long as they didn't need to diagnose the disease and prescribe medicine, all of them would be replaced by their own family members.

On the side of the rice shop, the Xia family is also calculating, and plans to dismiss all the guys, take charge of the house themselves, and save Xia and Autumn from hiring labor, so that all the more than 20 people will be arranged safely.

The second dog was instructed by Xia Qiu, and when he saw that the Xia family came to the shop to play tricks, he didn't wait for Wu Ze to speak, and no one was allowed to enter the store with a broom in his hand, "Whoever dares to move the shop, I want someone's life!" ”
