Hearing the voice of the shopkeeper, it didn't take long for someone in the yard to come and open the door.

The one who opened the door was the handyman Lao Zhang in Baochang Ji.

Seeing Ji Yanning, he was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly welcomed the person into the courtyard, and said a little embarrassedly: "Don't be surprised, Miss, my house is a little simple." ”

After all, Ji Yanning is the owner of Baochang Ji, where can such people be compared with ordinary people who don't have much money, for fear that the eldest lady will feel dissatisfied and disgusted.

"It was very clean. Ji Yanning glanced at the room and commented.

Although the courtyard is small, it is warm everywhere, and Ji Yanning feels that it is already very rare.

Lao Zhang saw that Ji Yanning's face was gentle, not like that kind of rude and willful young lady, so he relaxed in his heart and said: "Yes, Qiao'er loves to be clean on weekdays, and she often cleans if she can't like it." ”

Zhang Qiaoer is his daughter.

Hearing the movement outside, a girl walked out of the house, saw the people in this yard, and was a little dazed for a while, looked at Lao Zhang, and asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

She wore a veil that covered her cheeks, revealing only a pair of smart eyes.

Lao Zhang explained: "Dad hasn't had time to tell you, this is the eldest lady of my owner in Baochang Kee, Miss Ji, she knows some medical science, and when she heard about you, she came over to take a look." ”

After listening to Lao Zhang's words, Zhang Qiao'er's eyes looked at Ji Yanning, who was also wearing a veil, and asked, "Are you also disfigured?"

Ji Yanning shook his head and said, "I may be able to heal your face." ”

Zhang Qiao'er looked at her with some disbelief: "You?"

It's not that Zhang Qiao'er doesn't want to believe it, it's that Ji Yanning looks a few years older than her, she has seen a lot of doctors, and those people can't even say why she is disfigured, let alone cured.

Now that Ji Yanning has not seen his face and has not checked his pulse, he has said such a big thing, which is really unbelievable.

"Qiao'er, don't be rude. Lao Zhang reprimanded softly.

Seeing her father like this, she remembered that Ji Yanning's identity was not ordinary, so she lowered her eyes and said: "That's okay, it's best if it can be cured, and it doesn't hurt if it can't be cured." ”

Anyway, her face is already like this, she doesn't care.

Lao Zhang welcomed Ji Yanning into the house, but Zhang Qiaoer did not reject it, beckoned Ji Yanning to sit down, and then made tea for them.

Yuan Wu and the others stood in the courtyard and guarded, and did not go in.

Ji Yanning said: "You sit down, I'll take your pulse, and then see how your face is." ”

Zhang Qiao'er sat down obediently and stretched out her hand.

Ji Yanning diagnosed her pulse, but this pulse made Ji Yanning frown slightly.

Zhang Qiaoer said: "I have seen many doctors, but they can't diagnose and treat the reason. ”

Ji Yanning said: "I can cure it." ”

"It doesn't matter if it can't be cured, anyway, it's ...... in this town" Zhang Qiao'er suddenly reacted to what Ji Yanning had just said, and was stunned for a moment, but then there was a glimmer of hope in her eyes, and she asked, "You said you can cure it?"

Ji Yanning nodded and said, "Actually, it's not difficult, I'll prescribe you a prescription, take the medicine three times a day, and your face will be fine after three days." ”

Zhang Qiao'er's eyes looked at Ji Yanning with incredulity.

Lao Zhang stepped forward and said, "Miss, what you said is true?

Ji Yanning answered yes, and then asked the shopkeeper to go to the carriage and take out the prepared pen, ink and paper, write a prescription, and hand it to Lao Zhang.

"You haven't even seen my face yet!" Zhang Qiao'er frowned, as if she didn't believe it, she felt that Ji Yanning was unreliable, and she was afraid that Ji Yanning was just fooling herself, and in the end it was just a bamboo basket and nothing.

Ji Yanning said: "Because I know what kind of poison you have, it can be cured even without looking at your face." ”

Zhang Qiao'er heard Ji Yanning so sure, and asked again: "Miss Ji, then what kind of poison do you say I have, and how did I get poisoned?"

Ji Yanning didn't hide it from her, and said: "This poisonous name is Baiqing, if I guess correctly, it is probably hidden in the rouge gouache you use on weekdays, but this thing is colorless and tasteless, and it is difficult to detect." ”

The reason why she knew it was because this poison came from the Lou family, but this matter is forbidden, and it is not allowed to be used indiscriminately on weekdays.

However, Ji Yanning is practicing poison arts, and her grandfather trusts her character, and he never restricts her about these things, and she knows that it is really normal.

But Ji Yanning now wants to know how this poisoned person knows the recipe for this poison.

Zhang Qiao'er listened to Ji Yanning's words, hurriedly stood up from the stool, walked quickly to the dresser by the window, and then rummaged through her own things, took all the rouge gouaches, and put them on the table in front of Ji Yanning.

"Miss Ji, look at which one has a problem. Zhang Qiaoer said.

Ji Yanning didn't care, he took out the silver needles from the medical box, and slowly tested them from the rouge gouache, and finally the silver needles turned black in a box of rouge.

"This. Ji Yanning took out the box and tried the others, but found that only this box of rouge was poisonous.

Zhang Qiao'er's eyes looked at the blackened silver needle, and her face suddenly turned pale.

She looked at the seal at the bottom of the box, gritted her teeth and said, "Try the things of the White Crane Hall, I want to settle accounts with them!"

Hearing the name Baihetang again, Ji Yanning frowned slightly.

Lao Zhang, who was on the side, was also indignant and said: "How can Baihetang do such a thing! It is really hateful to ruin the face of the girl's family, and they must be imprisoned!"

Ji Yanning said: "Don't be impatient, even if you come to the door like this, they may not admit it." ”

"We have evidence! This box of rouge is evidence, and I'm not the only one who has been ruined, and when the time comes, other people will also have evidence, see how they can push it off!" Zhang Qiao'er was so angry.

The things sold in the White Crane Hall are not cheap, I thought that the things would be very useful, but I didn't expect them to do such a thing.

Ji Yanning said: "There must be a lot of people who buy things from their shop, but not everyone is disfigured, otherwise they would have been discovered a long time ago." Even if the government searched their shop, they might not be able to find the rouge that had been poisoned. ”

Zhang Qiao'er listened to Ji Yanning's words and thought for a moment: "Miss Ji, what do you mean, they all started when they saw the goal?"

Ji Yanning said: "I don't rule out this possibility." ”

"What should I do then?" Zhang Qiao'er frowned, a look of displeasure.

The shopkeeper stood aside, listened to Ji Yanning's words, and said: "I didn't expect the people of Baihetang to be so vicious, not only ruined our silk, but also harmed people like this, I really thought that no one could cure them!"

In fact, if Zhang Qiaoer went to Baihetang to make trouble with something like this, the government would definitely go to Baihetang to arrest people, and maybe someone would confess under severe torture, but the possibility of finding nothing was not ruled out.

Ji Yanning said: "Why don't I go to the White Crane Hall in person." ”

As she spoke, she picked up the box of rouge on the table and looked at it carefully, but there was no expression on her face.

The shopkeeper heard the meaning of Ji Yanning's words and said, "Miss, this matter should be left to the yamen." ”

Ji Yanning said: "It's okay, I'll go and see first." ”

The officials in this town don't expect them to get things done.

What's more, Ji Yanning wanted to know who the person behind this harm with Baiqing was.

However, yesterday she also promised Rong Che not to risk her life, so she did not act without permission, but went back to the courtyard where they lived first.

When she came back, Rong Che was still playing chess.

Because the pavilion is under a big tree, there are leaves to shade, this pavilion is very shady, and it does not feel stuffy.

Ji Yanning told him about Zhang Qiaoer.

"Are you suspicious, the person behind it has something to do with the Lou family?" asked Rong Che.

Ji Yanning nodded and said, "From the time when those cloths and satins were damaged, I actually had some doubts, after all, that kind of medicine is really not something that ordinary doctors can make." ”

Rong Che said, "I'll go with you tomorrow." ”

After all, it was already afternoon when Ji Yanning came back, and seeing that it was going to be evening, he could only go out tomorrow.

Ji Yanning bowed his head and had no objection to what Rong Che said.

They learned from the shopkeeper that the proprietor of Baihetang was named Liu Xiaozong, who was originally a lifter, but later had a bad career and was dismissed, so he saved his life, so he came to this town to start a business, and his wife Pang Zi shared nothing, so he raised a child.

Liu Xiaozong is not a businessman, but with the support of her wife, she has taken root in the town for more than ten years, but she has opened this White Crane Hall well.

The husband and wife not only opened a silk shop, because Pang Zi loves beauty, so after making the silk shop bigger, they also opened a shop specializing in selling rouge gouache and the girl's jewelry, and the business in the town is quite good.

Although the husband and wife do not have children of their own, their relationship has always been good, and they are regarded as benevolent people in the eyes of others.

Ji Yanning listened quietly and did not comment.

"If it was really what they did, then it really responded to that sentence, knowing the face but not the heart. The shopkeeper sighed.

Ji Yanning glanced at the shopkeeper and said, "You are not young anymore, this truth should have been understood a long time ago." ”

Shopkeeper: "......"

How does it feel like being lectured by an elder, obviously his age should be about the same as his old club.

However, thinking of getting along in the past few days, Ji Yanning's words and deeds are too stable for ordinary people.

Ji Yanning's mind was still thinking about Liu Xiaozong, she was very unfamiliar with this name, and it shouldn't be someone she knew.

But she also knows that if she is really a person related to the Lou family, it is impossible to continue to live with her previous identity, so as not to cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Ji Yanning wants to see people before he can make decisions.
