Business on the hot spring Zhuangzi side has been good.

Every day is full of people coming and going.

On the days of festivals, people go to bathe in the evening.

But in the past few days, people have come to the door one after another, saying that their water is not clean, and they have washed their rashes, and at first Zhou didn't care, and even lost a few dollars on his own, but recently, people have come to look for her almost every day, and she feels strange.

There's nothing wrong with the water source.

There is no abnormality in the bath.

Zhou couldn't bear it, so he asked the shopkeeper Tang to report the matter to Huajiao, Pei Ze muttered: "Is it the same for the men's bath?" ”

"Nope." Shopkeeper Tang shook his head, "There's nothing wrong with the men's bath, it's mainly the women's bath, people come to look for it almost every day, we also stopped for a night yesterday and cleaned it carefully, but today there are still people who have a rash after washing, and everyone knows it, and even many guests who haven't finished soaking have left in advance." ”

"Do these people have any characteristics in common?" If it's the women's bath, Huajiao thinks it shouldn't be the water quality or cleanliness reasons, because both sides are designed by her, and she doesn't need to investigate to know that if it's a water quality problem, the men's bath is the first to attack.

"Common features?" Shopkeeper Tang recalled, "There are no common characteristics......

If there is a common denominator, it is that they are all women.

"You wait for me, I'll take a look." Huajiao went back to the house to change clothes, and Pei Ze also walked in: "You stay, I'll take a look." ”

"Let's go together!" Huajiao didn't call Ah Duo to come in, and changed into a coat in front of him, all of which were fat styles, and it was not difficult to put on and take off, Pei Ze knew her temperament, so he had to let her: "You don't have to worry, it's not a big deal." ”

Seeing that Huajiao was going out, Wang shouted, "If there is anything you can't let others go, you have to do it yourself, in case you ...... along the way."

"Mother, there is no ...... in case" Sichuan pepper was a little impatient.

Ah Duo hurriedly helped her into the carriage.

Pei Ze also followed in: "It's okay, I'll accompany her." ”

"Slow down, don't bump." Wang instructed Xia Yu, who was driving the car.

Mrs. Yuan also stepped forward and instructed the pepper: "But come back early, your day is near, and you can have a seizure at any time." ”

"Got it." Sichuan pepper couldn't cry or laugh.

Pei Ze looked at the peppercorns and didn't squeak.

When I arrived at the hot spring Zhuangzi, there were still people washing in the bath, Pei Ze was not easy to enter, and he didn't let the peppercorns in: "There is water in it, be careful of slipping, and when the guests come out, I will accompany you in." ”

Huajiao obediently sat down in the concierge and waited, and asked Ah Duo to call Zhou to come over and ask, Zhou was busy making glutinous rice rolls, wiped his hands and ran over, embarrassed, "I should have gone to the house to discuss with you, but just now someone had a rash on her body, I accompanied her to the pharmacy, I didn't care about it, and I had to bother the owner to run it in person." ”

"It's okay, I should have come over to see if something like this happened." Hua Jiao waved his hand and asked, "What did the doctor say?" ”

"The doctor said, but if you touch something you shouldn't touch, just apply some ointment." Zhou sighed, "But I checked inside and out, but I couldn't find what went wrong." ”

"Touched something you shouldn't have touched?" Huajiao turned his head to look at Pei Ze, "Third brother, do you know what allergies are?" That is, if someone eats a fish, they will have pimples on their faces, and if someone eats eggs, they will feel uncomfortable. ”

"Ringworm of fish or ringworm of eggs." Pei Ze understood in seconds, and muttered, "Since it wasn't the reason inside, could it be artificially brought in?" ”

"Aunt Zhou, we're going to go in later, don't let people in." The pepper will understand, see that there are still people going in, so let A Duo to stop, Zhou said yes, after half an hour, all the people inside are gone, the two of them entered the bath, except for the ground is a little wet, everything else is the same as before, the water is murmuring, the fog lingers, and the pepper wants to go down to the bath.

Ah Duo hugged Hua Jiao's arm tightly, lest she fall.

Pei Ze walked silently behind the two, the three of them turned around, there was nothing unusual, when passing by the wardrobe, Pei Ze stopped, bent down to open the cabinet door, and checked one by one, and asked Ah Duo to try whether the rock wall of the pool was abnormal, how to say that it has been open for more than two months, if it has lichen or something, it is not known.

Ah Duo lay on the edge of the rock wall, examined it carefully, shook his head and said, "Madam, it's very clean." ”

The water in the hot spring pools is flowing, similar to a small river.

Someone cleans it every day, and the possibility of lichen on the rock wall is relatively small.

Pei Ze caught up from behind, spread out the handkerchief in his hand for the pepper to see, and said in a deep voice: "I found it, someone brought itch powder in." ”

There was a slight amount of powder in the veil, which was not easy to see, and could hardly be seen.

"This is itchy powder?" Ah Duo exclaimed.

She knows that it is very itchy to touch her body.

She had heard that there were ones on the black market, but she had never seen them.

Hua Jiao instantly understood: "Someone deliberately made trouble." ”

It's really hard to prevent.

Her first reaction was that Wu Mei was making trouble, but there was no evidence, so she couldn't tell Pei Ze.

"Leave this matter to me, and I'll take care of it." Pei Ze said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I'll find out." ”

Hua Jiao nodded: "I believe in the third brother." ”

The next day, Pei Ze went to Zhuangzi quietly.

Find Xu Gui to play chess.

As August 15 approaches, there are still a lot of people who come to offer incense.

There weren't many people in the morning, and the women's bath was quiet.

Later, there was movement inside, and a female guest had a rash on her body after bathing, and immediately rolled up her sleeves to show everyone the red rash on her arm: "I have long heard that you are not clean here, but it is not credible as a rumor, but I don't want to be really unclean, look, who dares to wash it?" ”

"Oops, it's horrible."

"Let's see if we have any on our arms."

The female pilgrims gathered in a heap and talked about it: "I still think this place is close to Liutai Temple, I just came to take a bath, but I don't want it to be a black shop, we don't dare to come again in the future, who knows if I will have a rash on my body tomorrow." ”

Zhou was prepared.

Without saying a word, he stepped forward to search the woman's body.

"Oh, what are you doing?" The female guest blushed and pushed her, "Don't rely on the old man to bully people, don't touch me." ”

Zhou's skills were fast, and he quickly found a small medicine bag in his sleeve, and opened it in public to show everyone: "Look, we don't have this thing in Hot Spring Zhuangzi, whoever wipes this thing itches, I don't believe you look at it." ”

Zhou personally experimented, rolled up his sleeves and wet his arms, and then dipped a little itchy powder on them, and in an instant, there was a red rash on his arm, which was exactly the same as the one on the female guest's arm, and everyone exclaimed, and looked at the female guest with disdain: "It's not easy for people to do business, why is it so lacking in morality?" ”

The female guest was exposed in public, embarrassed and angry, covered her face and ran out.

As soon as she ran to the door, she was stopped by two guards, Pei Ze continued to play chess without raising her head, and said quietly: "Send it to the prefect's yamen, just say that I will arrive later." ”
