Chapter 34: Killing Chickens and Respecting Monkeys

When the old man Tu heard the news, he came in to give Xia Qiu a needle, and scolded: "How do you take care of her? ”

Lu Tingxiu: "......"

Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and Xia Qiu snatched it back from the hands of Hades.

Old man Tu didn't care that he was a county order, and scolded Lu Tingxiu with a slash on his face, "If you don't pay attention to it, you can only go and cut the grass at the grave this time next year." ”

Lu Ting redresses grievances.

However, he didn't care about Old Man Tu's unreasonableness, he was cold and clothed along the way, and he was thirsty to feed water, not to mention his shoulders to lean on her, and even moved people into his arms.

In the past ten years, he was the one who was taken care of, and he really had no experience in taking care of people.

It's a bit clumsy, but he'll do his best.

When he was about to arrive at the county seat, Xia Qiu suddenly had another attack, shortness of breath and sweating profusely. Lu Tingxiu was about to call Old Man Tu, but Xia Qiu grabbed his hand and didn't let go.

Her strength was very strong, her knuckles turned white due to overexertion, Lu Tingxiu's face cramped in pain, but she was stunned and endured, "How are you?" ”

Xia Qiu's teeth chattered in pain, "There are a thousand knives cutting your flesh at the same time, what do you think will happen?" ”

He tilted his head and leaned back on his shoulder.

I feel that with him, I can get through all this pain.

The master is right, she doesn't know that she will die suddenly one day, so she must have fun in time.

However, she can't die now, she has to at least find out the signs of this disaster, so that Lu Tingxiu can be on guard.

As for Lu Tingxiu, let's compensate myself in advance, anyway, I will die sooner or later, and pulling down my hand to borrow a shoulder to lean on will not lose a piece of meat for him, and it will not affect him to become a biological child in the future.

Thinking of him getting married and having children, Xia Qiu couldn't help but sigh. Alas, if you can't eat the meat in your mouth, it's always extra fragrant.

Back at the county office, Xia Qiu finished taking the old man's medicine and fell asleep deeply.

Lu Tingxiu dealt with government affairs non-stop, arrested the side ruthlessly, extorted confessions overnight, and three of them couldn't stand the torture and committed suicide by biting their tongues.

Dr. Xu, who had broken his hands and feet, confessed, saying that he was arresting people and testing drugs in order to practice the elixir of immortality. As for how many lives were mutilated, he only confessed to the secret rooms, and did not admit the rest.

Most of the people who tested the medicine were wandering beggars, who had no father or mother, and even if they disappeared, no one would notice.

When the rotting and stinking corpses were continuously carried out from the Shengji Pharmacy, the people who were watching from afar collapsed in anger. Those doctors are under the guise of curing diseases and saving people, but they are demons who eat human blood steamed buns.

Especially those parents who have taken their children to the doctor, they are shocked to think about it and break out in a cold sweat. They went to the government one after another, demanding that the murderers be severely punished.

After the body was cremated, Lu Tingxiu re-surveyed the secret room and found the remaining poison pills. Other than that, the pharmacy didn't leave any useful clues.

Taking advantage of people's inattention, Lu Tingxiu wrote a secret note and released a carrier pigeon.

Old Man Tu carefully studied the poison pill, and then his face changed suddenly, this was not the elixir of immortality at all.

It is a mixture of dozens of highly poisonous things, arsenic, broken intestines, snakes, scorpions, toads, aconitum, carrion, bats, and so on.

After eating this thing, the Da Luo Immortal can't save it.

It's a pity that no matter how it is interrogated, the one surnamed Xu only admits to arresting people and trying to do things, while the others don't know anything and do things completely according to his orders.

In the dead of night, Lu Tingxiu pondered in the study, heard Xia Qiu's cough, and immediately put down what he was doing and rushed over.

With the wonderful hands of the old man Tu, Xia and Autumn felt a lot better, leaning on the head of the bed and half-lying.

"How are you going to end this case?" It's about the puppet corpse, and Xia Qiu is in good spirits.

"Shengji Pharmacy mutilated people's lives, and there is no doubt that it is a capital crime."

Coughing uncomfortably, Xia Qiu panted, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if those monsters were not afraid of light and ran out to kill the people?" ”

Lu Tingxiu was also afraid when he thought about it, "Fortunately, you found out in time and stopped a tragedy, and the people of Lin County will be grateful to you." "So, survive well!

Xia Qiupi didn't smile, "This matter is not over." ”

Lu Tingxiu was stunned.

"The surname Xu is just a puppet, and there is someone else behind him."

"How do you know?"

"They were careless, thinking I wouldn't get out alive." Xia Qiu took pen and ink and drew the appearance of the scar girl, "She was the one who injured me yesterday, and listening to the tone of her speech, the forces behind it are not small. ”

Lu Tingxiu looked at the portrait carefully, and then put it away, "You know about it, I can know it." ”

Xia Qiu was stunned, "Why?" ”

Lu Tingxiu frowned slightly, "We don't even know who the enemy is, and we don't have any clues now, if it comes out and causes panic among the people, wouldn't it be all messed up?" ”

"But if you don't check, what will happen once they wait for them to study the monster?"

"It's not that you don't check it, but you have to check it secretly." Lu Tingxiu comforted, "This matter is not urgent, you should still recover from your illness with peace of mind." ”

"But ......"

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Xia Qiu still held back and didn't say anything further. Now, he doesn't know what happened in half a year, so he naturally won't pay much attention.

After the incident of Shengji Pharmacy, she became more and more sure that the puppet corpse would definitely explode. In her previous life, she was held in a cave rather than a secret room.

There is not only one place to refine puppet corpses.

On the day of the trial, it was pouring rain, but many people in Lin County came, and the road in front of the county yamen was blocked.

Lu Tingxiu was dressed in an official uniform and sat in the public hall with a solemn expression.

The subordinate officials are used to being lazy, and they didn't participate in the arrest and drug test case, so they privately thought it wasn't a big deal, but it was just the newly appointed magistrate who was building momentum for the official's authority.

They whispered and even smiled.

"Song Wenwen, what are you laughing at?"

Song Wenwen, who was named by the county magistrate and was discussing privately with others, was stunned and immediately sat upright, "My lord, the lower officials are not smiling." ”

Lu Tingxiu looked around at everyone with a dark face, and said in a deep voice, "Did you see him laughing?" ”

All the subordinate officials were silent, thinking that the county magistrate was making a big fuss. He is angry, and he can't sprinkle it on them.

Below the court, there was silence.

Lu Ting's face is as heavy as water, and the mountain rain is coming.

"My lord, I saw him smile." Xu Mingliang stood up suddenly.

As soon as Dian Shi spoke, he quickly said to the officials: "My lord, we all saw him laugh!" ”

This response resounded in the court and lasted for a long time.

The faces of the subordinate officials changed suddenly, are these miscellaneous officials going to rebel? In the past, they never dared to say a word by kneading the circle and pinching flat, but now they are emboldened by hugging the big tree of Zhixian.

"Lord Lu, Song Wen ...... him"

Song Shushu was a clerk of the Yang master book, and Lu Tingxiu openly accused him, obviously not giving himself face, so he slowly opened his mouth, wanting to save some face.

Who knows, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was slapped down by Lu Tingxiu's shocking wood.
