"Do you want to tell Fu ...... Jin catches the head? Luo Zhutou asked.

An Kangsheng glanced at his own prefect, Su Lizhou's small eyes squinted, and he knew what the prefect was going to do.

"Since it is a head-catcher, a person in the public gate, how can there be a so-called peaceful pillow? It should be for the country and the people. Go, send someone to Fu's house, be sure to ...... Let Jin catch his head and immediately rush to the city gate to meet. Su Lizhou took a deep breath, "This mansion is in the mansion, waiting for your good news." ”

Look, An Kangsheng and Luo Zhutou glanced at each other, and the two silently walked out of the mansion and led the people straight to the city gate.

Jin Yue was sleeping in a daze, but he heard a servant shouting outside the door, saying that the government was traveling at night and found the traces of Bai Xiong.

If it was plain and someone had a good dream, Jin Yue would definitely scold someone. But this time, it was like a conditioned reflex, and I put on the official uniform for the first time and went out directly.

Frost Branch was startled, and the young lady actually ......

"Young lady, are you awake?" Shuangzhi was afraid that his young lady was sleepwalking.

Jin Yue patted her face gently, "Doesn't I seem to have woken up?" ”

Frosttwig shook his head, not like.

"Call the pearl and go!" Jin Yue strode away.

The lanterns in the courtyard were bright, and for a moment, Frost Branch felt that she was a little fascinated by it. The young lady was tall, looking at the back, quite heroic, as if she was born to eat this bowl of rice and wear this public clothes.

Shuangzhi secretly thought that if the young lady was a female commander, she would definitely be more majestic!

"Childe!" Junshan entered the door.

Fu Jiuqing was already sitting on the edge of the bed, his face was slightly pale, because of the opening and closing of the door, the heating in the room was washed away a little, and the cold air poured back, making him cough uncontrollably.

"No one caught!" Jun Shan shook his head, his eyes drooping slightly, "The other party's kung fu is not weak, and he is extremely organized and acts quickly, and he is definitely not an ordinary person." ”

"Organized ......" Fu Jiuqing's eyes were dark, and he coughed twice, "Who leaked Bai Xiong's whereabouts?" ”

"Not us." Junshan was busy.

Originally, they had found Bai Xiong's whereabouts, but Gongzi decided to keep him, wanting to lure out the people behind Bai Xiong, after all, the body was buried under the wine shop for two or three years, and it was suddenly reported to the yamen, and it must be someone in the know.

The people of the Bai family will not lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot, and the killing of Bai Zhen is also extremely strange. The Bai family has weakened, relying only on Bai Zhen to support it, Bai Xiong can't support the façade of the Bai family, and he is not stupid enough to kill his own Lao Tzu.

However, Bai Xiong must know something, otherwise he would not have fled from the news.

"When I was in Hengzhou, I knew that someone was targeting the Fu family, but I didn't expect it...... I actually followed it to Kyoto, and it was really ghostly. Fu Jiuqing's face turned pale, looking at the candle flame on the table, his eyes became colder and colder, "Send someone to follow Jin Yue." ”

"Don't worry." Jun Shan bowed down and poured a cup of hot water instead, "Childe, you can rest for a while, Madame probably won't come back tonight." ”

Fu Jiuqing pinched the cup, his knuckles were white, and his eyes were cold.

Tonight, indeed, he won't be coming back.

Jin Yue led the pearl and frost branches, and went straight to the city gate, the coachman did not dare to be sloppy, holding the reins of the horse tightly, and the wheels made a clear and loud sound on the bluestone slabs on the street, which was particularly abrupt in such a quiet night.

Fortunately, it was in time.

Before they reached the city gate, they heard the sound of horses' hooves and the chaotic footsteps of the officials.

"There!" Pearl Road.

Following the direction of Mingzhu's finger, Jin Yue did see a figure, and went straight to the direction of the city gate.

Luo Zhutou was the first to run over, "Stop! Get him! Don't open the door! Get him! ”

"Quick, fast open......" Bai Xiong was anxious.

The people from the government office came, and the sergeant guarding the door dared to open the door again, so he immediately turned against the water and rushed up directly, wanting to catch Bai Xiong. At first glance, when he saw that the situation was wrong, Bai Xiong turned around and ran, but when it came to this, he wanted to run...... Where can you go?

"Mingzhu, help!" As soon as the carriage stopped, Jin Yue jumped out of the carriage, but the frost branches behind him were startled.

"Young lady, slow down!" Frost Branch's desperate chase.

Since following the young lady, Frost Branch feels that her physical fitness is much better, especially when she runs away...... I used to run a few steps and my heart was panting, but now I can almost shout while running, and my voice is still slightly excited.

Luo Zhutou had already pushed Bai Xiong to the ground, and the officials rushed up, quickly pulled him up from the ground, and was about to put him in the flail, but saw Bai Xiong suddenly convulse all over his body, and instantly foamed at the mouth.

Everyone was shocked and hurriedly withdrew.

Bai Xiong was like a puddle of mud, lying on the ground softly, his eyes rolling, and white foam constantly gushing out from the corners of his lips.

"W-This looks like poisoning?" Luo Zhutou was startled, "Who poisoned it?" ”

"Young lady, don't come close!" Mingzhu hurriedly blocked Jin Yue.

Who knows what kind of poison this is, in case this saliva foam is poisonous and sticks to the young lady, then it will still have to be?

Quickly took out the needle bag from the waist bag he carried, Jin Yue forcefully tore open Bai Xiong's placket, and held the silver needle to pierce it accurately, "I'll protect his heart first, you guys quickly carry him to the doctor, the sooner the better!" ”

She asked herself that she had no ability to detoxify, so she could only delay the onset of poison temporarily.

"Bai Gongzi? Hakuo! Who poisoned you? Jin Yue snorted coldly.

With a wave of Luo Zhutou's hand, the official immediately lifted Bai Xiong and carried it towards Jin Yue's carriage.

On the way, Luo Zhutou kept shouting Bai Xiong's name, "Bai Xiong, who did it?" Who poisoned you? Who killed Master Bai? Who the hell was the dead woman? Bai Xiong...... Hakuxiong? ”

Bai Xiong was speechless, stared at Jin Yue with a pair of eyes open, and handed out the bag in his sleeve tremblingly. However, the next moment, Bai Xiong's eyes suddenly turned red, and he didn't know where the strength came from, so he went crazy in an instant.

The officials who were originally carrying him were all defenseless, and he kicked him with both feet, and then kicked him to the ground.

Mingzhu immediately protected Jin Yue and retreated to the side, Luo Zhutou coldly pressed Bai Xiong's shoulder, who knew that Bai Xiong's strength had become so great that he actually knocked Luo Zhu's head away.

His eyes were dark, and Luo Zhutou pounced again.

Who knew that he was dragged by Jin Yue, Jin Yue shouted at the officials who surrounded him, "Don't go over, he's crazy!" Everyone stand back, don't let it get stained with his saliva and blood, those are poisonous, get out of the way! ”

As soon as you hear this, whether it's true or not, the instinctive reaction of man is to survive.

Everyone got out of the way, and Bai Xiong leaned his neck and slammed into the wheel of the carriage, falling to the ground suddenly, and his death was extremely tragic.

"Hakuo?" Luo Zhutou was shocked, he didn't dare to approach for a while, and turned his head to look at Master An, who had been silent, "Master, this is ...... What to do? ”

An Kangcheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Jin catches the head?" ”

"Wait." Jin Yue slowly walked aside, squatted down and looked at Bai Xiong, who was angry and blind, took out two copper plates and put them on Bai Xiong's neck, which was stained with blood and saliva, and looked at everyone with slightly troubled eyes, "He's dead!" ”

"What kind of poison is this? So powerful? Luo Zhutou's face turned pale, and he immediately stepped forward, "I've been a head catcher for so many years, and I've never seen such a ruthless poison, but wasn't Bai Xiong good before?" Why did you suddenly get poisoned? ”

"It's because the qi and blood run too fast, so it will cause poison." Jin Yue sighed lightly, "I've seen this poison once, when I was in Hengzhou before, there was a beggar who seemed to have been poisoned like this." ”

"Hengzhou?" An Kangsheng's eyebrows frowned slightly, "Is there an antidote?" "It's simple, just drink some boy urine. But I didn't expect him to be so poisonous, I knew that he was crazy, and he was almost exactly the same as the beggar outside Hengzhou City before. Jin Yue stood up, "Hengzhou is thousands of miles away from Kyoto City, how can it be ......?"

Luo Zhutou sighed lightly, "No matter, let's bring people back first." ”

"Good!" An Kangsheng bowed his head, wrapped the brocade bag on the ground with a handkerchief, and carefully packed it in a cloth bag, "Jin Zhutou, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you to go back to the mansion tonight, I'll go to the prefect first!" ”

"No problem!" Jin Yue also wanted to find out the origin of this poison.

When she passed the foot of the mountain, she happened to meet a beggar with poisonous hair, and her father used silver needles and antidote pills to save the beggar.

For several days in a row, beggars died, all of them with the same symptoms of poisoning, madness before death, and the blood and saliva were poisonous.

Dad said that this kind of poison is extremely ruthless, and according to the situation, someone should have deliberately poisoned it. But my father had no evidence, and then there was an accident in the hospital, and the matter was over.

Curiously, the poisoning has not happened since then.

Jin Yue always felt that the original poisoning incident might have something to do with the affairs of the hospital? Or maybe my dad found out something, so they framed my dad and said that my dad was a quack doctor who accidentally injured people's lives.

"Young lady, what's wrong with you?" Shuangzhi frowned, was the young lady frightened, why did she look stunned?

Jin Yue came back to her senses, shook her head casually, looked at the people of the servants, made a stretcher, and carried Bai Xiong's body back to the mansion, as well as a bag of silver that Bai Xiong carried with him.

"Yo, you've made a meritorious service, haven't you been scared?" Su Lizhou drank saliva, only feeling that the tea was a little hot, "Bai Xiong is crazy, isn't it terrible?" ”

"It's scary, and the saliva and blood are poisonous, so no one dares to approach it." An Kangsheng replied truthfully, "Fortunately, there is a young lady who reminds me very much, otherwise I am afraid that I will have to break a lot of people, Princess Yan's birthday is approaching, if there is a big case, I am afraid that the adults will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

Su Lizhou put down the cup in a daze, and didn't speak with a dark face, An Kangsheng's words made sense, but he just didn't like to listen!

"My lord, the case matters!" Ankang reminds me.

Su Lizhou frowned, "Then follow the rules!" ”

"Yes!" An Kangsheng put the bag on his desk, "There is blood on it, so I don't dare to move it, but this thing is really left by Bai Xiong before he died, and I don't know what it means, so I will bring it back first for your lordship to see." ”

"What's in it?" Su Lizhou asked.

An Kangsheng shook his head, "I haven't opened it." ”

"Don't open it yet, wait until that girl comes." As soon as Su Lizhou heard that it was stained with Bai Xiong's blood, he panicked, didn't he say that the blood and saliva were poisonous? Since that girl dares to shout like this, she must know what to do, as a prefect, it is better to leave this kind of trivial matter to the people below!

It took more than half an hour for Bai Xiong's body to be carried back and directly into the morgue waiting for examination.

Jin Yue and Luo Zhutou entered the lobby and saluted Su Lizhou.

"This isn't ......" Jin Yue was stunned.

"There's blood on it, so it's not open for a while." An Kangsheng said, "Jin Zhutou, you know the origin of this poison, you must be able to solve it one or two, right?" ”

Jin Yue smiled, "It's good to splash the boy's urine, but if there's something in it, it's not good to get wet, so just take a handkerchief and dip some boy's urine before opening it." ”

As soon as they heard the words "boy urine", Su Lizhou and Luo Zhutou both looked at the ...... Ankangsheng!

His brows jumped, An Kangsheng's face was a little uncomfortable, and he lowered his head and coughed lightly, "This...... It's easy to do, I'll go find one, find a child to pee! ”

With that, An Kangsheng hurriedly left.

Luo Zhutou lowered his head and smiled, Su Lizhou didn't know anything.

The bag was opened, and two things were poured out, a piece of paper folded into a square, and ......

Jin Yue's pupils shrank suddenly, "Rose? ”

Red?!

"Jin Zhutou seems to recognize these things?" Su Lizhou frowned.

Jin Yue pursed her lips, blinked her eyes, and looked at everyone in surprise, "I just know this flower, isn't this a rose?" Am I wrong? Isn't this a rose? So what is it? It's definitely not peony or peony, right? ”

Su Lizhou tugged at the corners of his lips, "It's a rose, that's right." ”

As he spoke, An Kangsheng had already opened the piece of paper, and there was only one word on it: blood!

"Blood?" Su Lizhou was puzzled, "What does this mean?" ”

Luo Zhutou thought for a while, "Do you want to say that blood is poisonous?" ”

"If you want to say that blood is poisonous, what do you do in your bag? What about the ghosts? Su Lizhou took the paper and looked puzzled, "It's really weird, what does it mean?" ”

No one can guess, so it can only be put on hold for the time being.

Jin Yue glanced at the frost branch, the frost branch's face was slightly pale, and it could be seen that he also recognized the red rose.

Red roses, a pair of eyes, it was a nightmare they had in Hengzhou, I didn't expect to come to Kyoto, this nightmare is still with us, who is it?

Who's behind it?

When this case comes here, it seems that there is a feeling of interlocking, and now I can only wait for the autopsy to be completed. Because Bai Xiong's body was poisonous, it was slightly difficult to conduct an autopsy, and it had to be cleaned before it was carried out.

When it was dawn, the boy hurriedly came with something.

Jin Yue was already asleep leaning back in the chair, and Mingzhu gently pushed, "Young lady, it's here!" ”

Hearing this, Jin Yue immediately sobered up and quickly wiped his face with his hand.

Frost Branch, who was dozing off the pillar, immediately opened his eyes and quickly stood up straight.

"Your Excellency!" Bow down.

Su Lizhou yawned, "Say!" ”

"The rest is nothing, it's all recorded in the corpse compartment, adults can take a closer look at it later, the only thing that makes people suspicious is this thing!" He bowed down and put the tray on his desk.

A sour smell pierced Su Lizhou's disgust, covering his mouth and nose and frowning and asking, "What is this?" Stinks to death! ”

"It was found from the stomach of the deceased, it seems to be undigested paper!" The tweezers were gently flicked.

Hearing that it was paper, An Kangsheng stepped forward in surprise, "It seems to be paper." ”

"But it was soaked in the stomach, so I couldn't see what was written on it." made a truthful report, he looked at it for a long time, but he didn't see a clue.

Luo Zhutou frowned, "This white male is so depressed that he wants to eat paper?" No, he had a lot of silver with him! ”

The silver is still resting on the stool on the side, Luo Zhutou personally brought it back, the weight is not light, it is expected that there is no shortage of silver in it, why don't you need to eat paper to live, right?

Jin Yue opened the burden wrapped in silver and counted the silver taels inside, "If you don't say anything, you can get a hundred taels, not to mention eating, even if you eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, you can last for a while." ”

"yes!" Luo Zhutou spread his hands to prove that what he said was true.

"What will be written on this?" Su Lizhou rubbed his eyebrows and turned his head to look at his master, "You say, could it be a secret letter or something?" ”

"West City Gate, silver, escape?" An Kangsheng pursed his lips, "It is estimated that it is the appointed time, location, and direction of escape." ”

Su Lizhou nodded, "Then who gave it?" ”

Jin Yue said with a smile, "If the master knew everything, wouldn't he become an accomplice?" ”

Hearing this, Su Lizhou was stunned, and sat on the side, still covering his mouth and nose, his face full of disgust, "Take it away, take it away, this smell is too heavy!" ”

"Pumpkin and beans." Jin Yue rubbed her nose, "And ...... Sauce beef from Tianxianglou! ”

Su Lizhou almost gouged out his eyeballs, "You say it again!" Where is the recipe? ”

"Smells it." Jin Yue pursed her lips, "I've been to Tianxianglou and eaten sauce beef, and the taste is indeed a little special, so I remember it." ”

"And how do you know about pumpkins and beans?" Su Lizhou asked again.

Jin Yue pointed to the contents of the tray, "Aren't they all stained on it?" Before I had time to digest it, it meant that I met the person who sent the message after eating. After receiving the news, Bai Xiong swallowed the note and ran to the West City Gate, so the beans and the note had not been digested. It takes a certain amount of time for the poison to be haired, and the murderer should have calculated the time correctly, so even if we don't catch Bai Xiong, he will still have to die when he gets out of the city gate! ”

"This man is thoughtful, and he expects everything." An Kangsheng had a sad face, "Who the hell is so ruthless?" ”

Jin Yue also wanted to know, who is it? It wasn't certain in Hengzhou City before, but now it's the second time, and this red rose is enough to prove everything, someone has to deal with the Fu family.

But you can't say that.

Jin Yue was not stupid enough, and told the people in the government the truth, she had to go back and discuss this matter with Fu Jiuqing, it was a big matter, and she couldn't bear it alone.

The sky was dawning, Jin Yue dragged her tired body back to Shangyi Courtyard, and Fu Jiuqing was not there.

Shuangzhi went to prepare hot water, let her take a bath, and then go to have breakfast to catch up on sleep, this toss in the middle of the night is really tiring enough.

Soaking in the bathtub, Jin Yue let the frost branch go down to prepare breakfast, Gu Zi lay on the edge of the bucket, closed his eyes and rested, but he fell asleep in a daze. The mist was thick, and she faintly heard the sound of water, which should be the frost branch coming back and heating the water in the bucket.

Sure enough, the water temperature rose, so comfortable.

Frost Branch gently helped her rub her back, her movements were lighter and softer than usual, Jin Yuegu closed her eyes and said in a low voice, "Frost Branch, you also recognize it, right?" The red rose is the same as the one that has appeared in Hengzhou. ”

The movement behind him seems to have stopped.

"Don't be afraid, I won't put you in danger." Jin Yue closed her eyes in relief, her long eyelashes were stained with mist, and with a soft sigh, the condensed into crystal droplets of water fell back into the bucket, opening shallow ripples on the water.

"Those people don't know what the purpose is, if they want to deal with the Fu family, they will definitely not stop there. Killing Bai Xiong shouldn't be just to kill the mouth, but to make a big deal out of it, but he didn't expect that I recognized the poison, and the officials were not injured, and that person failed to succeed. Jin Yue yawned, it could be seen that she was extremely tired.

The warm handkerchief, dipped in warm water, gently brushed her back, then her arm on the edge of the bucket.

Obviously, the water temperature is very comfortable, but the back is inexplicably cold, this feeling makes Jin Yue feel very uncomfortable, that kind of yin measurement feeling, the hairs on her body stand up, and the eyelashes are shaking more and more.

Finally, she snapped her eyes open and quickly turned her head.

The warm lips, brushing over the soft cold place, the water-stained eyelashes, suddenly rose, swept over Fu Jiuqing's jade-like cheeks, in the mist, his pale cheeks flashed a little watery, crystal clear, like a person carved from jade.

The pair of ink-like pupils stared at her for an instant, as if there was an undercurrent surging, and it seemed to be suppressed by him.

She breathed slightly, and her ears seemed to hear the sound of him swallowing saliva, the rolling Adam's apple, as if swallowing something, even the flesh of the belt, and the temperature around her plummeted, so cold that the tip of people's tongues trembled.

Reacting to this, Jin Yue quickly crossed his hands and covered his chest, "Get out!" ”

Fu Jiuqing tightened the handkerchief in her hand, and as soon as her knuckled fingertips loosened slightly, the wet handkerchief fell back into the bucket, and the splash of water smashed on her, as if it was so hot that her whole face was as red as the wedding night, and the big red word "Xi" on the window was almost the same color.

Her eyes were gloomy, Fu Jiuqing put her hands on the edge of the bucket, bent down and approached her, her warm breath was hotter than the mist coming out of the bathtub, so hot that Jin Yue subconsciously stuck her body against the wall of the bucket, curled up into a hedgehog alive, and hated to bury her face in the water.

"Yue'er seems to have forgotten that you and I are husband and wife, and there is ...... in this house Only I can come and go as I please. His gloomy eyes swept over the scars on her back, one by one, one by one, glowing with a faint light pink, symbolizing the pain and suffering she had experienced before.

The knuckles on the edge of the barrel were tingling with a terrible white, and even Fu Jiuqing's eyes became extremely gloomy. The light in his eyes was gone, and the kind of breathtaking darkness made Jin Yue stunned, and she didn't know what to do when she shrank in the bathtub.

Jin Yue's breath was slightly short, it wasn't a way to go on like this, she had to get dressed, right?

Silently approaching him, Jin Yue tried her best to stick to the wall of the barrel, and looked up at him with a chill, "I didn't mean that, I just didn't get used to it, there were ...... when I bathed."

The bottom of her eyes was bright, like a layer of mist, Fu Jiuqing's heart eased, and the corners of her sharp lips loosened slightly.

The slightly cool fingertips gently brushed the corners of her eyes, he lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows, his throat was like a handful of sand, hoarse and hoarse, and his tone was still so light, "Put on your clothes, I have something to tell you." ”

Jin Yue nodded again and again.

When he walked out of the screen, Fu Jiuqing glanced back again, and on the hollowed-out screen, the figure swayed. Through a thin layer of moon veil, there is a bit of intriguing shadow arc, which is enough to make people's hearts ape.

Jin Yue didn't know why, thinking that Fu Jiuqing had already gone out, so he hurriedly got out and stood in front of the screen, changing clothes with his hands and feet.

Fang Cai really scared her to death, and thought it was Shuangzhi, who knew that it was Fu Jiuqing!

Then, wait for her to walk out of the screen......
