Chapter 23: Suddenly
"I don't know how Jiang Xiaobai would know, didn't the divine doctor say that it is impossible to find an antidote to this poison, what should I do, mother, then wouldn't my marriage be ......?"
Jiang Yan'er's eyes were full of unwillingness, she squeezed the teacup tightly and looked at the porcelain bottle in her hand. Su Shi looked at her daughter like this, helpless and angry, how could she not know the medicinal properties of this poison, originally thought that she could turn over in one fell swoop this time, but now she has to be a man with her tail between her legs.
"That miracle doctor is nothing more than that, and I blame Ah Niang for her way, you go to rest first, put the medicine first, see that Jiang Xiaobai should only be a slow medicine, there will always be a time when we are needed." As for the son of the Bai family, wait a little longer. ”
"Got it, mother."
At this time, Jiang Xiaobai had already made up the potions, and after packing them up, he was walking in the yard, and Xiaoqing was also walking around. Shi Shaoyuan, who was outside the door, ran in, half-knelt on the ground, and carried a letter and said:
"An Liangtang came to report, and there was another murder."
"What case?"
"The Case of Bloody Handprints."
Jiang Xiaobai frowned and opened the letter to see that in addition to writing the location on East Street of Chang'an Street, there were only three big characters in it, Bai Shen listened.
"Xiaoqing changed into clothes, bring the dates and dates, Xiaoshi, you take my token, go to the hall and take people to set off now."
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly tied up his hair and put on a mask, and changed into a dark green robe, the mask covered most of his face, and his eyebrows, which were already slightly raised, looked even more heroic.
Xiaoqing led two horses, one red and one black. The jujube red horse is named Zao Zao, which has accompanied Jiang Xiaobai for many years. The two of them kicked on the horse neatly, and rode away one after the other, quite imposing.
Jiang Mansion is not far from Anliangtang, Jiang Xiaobai arrived at the door not long after, only to see Shi Shaoyuan guarding the door with a large group of soldiers, and immediately stepped forward after seeing Jiang Xiaobai and said: "The above came to report that the deceased had just died, and the murderer should still be nearby." After saying that, he retreated to the back without saying a word. Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but smile after hearing this, thinking that this time the murderer would not escape.
"The first team, you block Chang'an Avenue first, and the second team will come with me." After Jiang Xiaobai assigned the task of guarding, she pulled the rope and turned her head and set off, dust rolled up in the air, and she swore that she must find something this time, and she must not let the murderer go unpunished again.
On the east street of Chang'an Street, the crowded crowd was blocked outside the teahouse, and it was difficult for the flies to fly in, and the guards blocked a way to let the soldiers and horses barely pass, and the women seemed to know something, pointing and talking about the door, and it happened that Jiang Xiaobai, who was passing by, listened to it. In the crowd, a man in black linen clothes and a hat, only showing a pair of eyes, looked at Jiang Xiaobai silently, listening to the voices of the people around him.
"Ouch, isn't this the son of the Dan family, he died so miserably, his eyes are still open, it's really scary."
"Isn't it, his son just won the tweed this year, it's a pity."
"Alas, you may have offended someone, didn't you hear that he had recently gotten old to that exquisite hall, the land of smoke and willows, maybe he offended some high-ranking officials!"
"Shhhh
Linglong Pavilion? Jiang Xiaobai suddenly remembered the prostitute who had died in the same way in the Linglong Pavilion before, and immediately grabbed the horse rope and said to Xiaoqing, "You quietly invite those old women to the wing, I will take a look at the scene with Xiaoshi first, be careful not to be discovered, and report any suspicious characters immediately." Xiaoqing looked around, nodded, dismounted and disappeared into the crowd.
The deceased was Dan Wei, the eldest son of the ordinary salt merchant Dan family, and the way of death was the same as the previous one, the murderer was extremely cruel to pick up the tendons, and stuffed a stone in his mouth, showing a strange smile. Jiang Xiaobai opened his mouth, pinched out the stone, carefully looked at the teeth in his mouth, and checked his body inside and out.
Jiang Xiaobai raised her head violently, she thought that the murderer was not a random murder at all, and the clues should not be led by the nose by these cruel and bloody clues on the surface, but should be a purposeful killing, and the problem was still in the Linglong Pavilion.
Worst! Old woman!
After covering the cotton cloth, Jiang Xiaobai immediately hurriedly walked to the side room, she had an ominous premonition in her heart, if it was really as she guessed, the murderer was still eavesdropping at the scene, then the old women just now were very dangerous. The more he thought about it, the more anxious he became, and Jiang Xiaobai's forehead was sweating a lot.
Still didn't have time, Jiang Xiaobai panted and leaned on the door, just looking at the old woman who fainted in the wing room and Xiaoqing, who was covered in blood in front of the woman, the man in black was holding a knife and continued to stab down, "Stop!" Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed, and the man in black turned his head in horror, and immediately opened the window and escaped.
"Little stone, lead the troops to arrest people!"
"Yes."
Shi Shaoyuan quickly followed, the crowd was chaotic, Jiang Xiaobai ran to Xiaoqing's side in a panic, Xiaoqing's chest was constantly bleeding blood, Jiang Xiaobai quickly ripped off his clothes and pressed them on his chest, and the red blood quickly spread, "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you ask for a doctor!" Jiang Xiaobai said to the stunned guards.
Fortunately, this East Street is a lively civic area, and the doctor quickly rushed over to stop the bleeding, and said to Jiang Xiaobai with a happy face, "Fortunately, the bleeding was stopped in time, and if it is one step later, I am afraid that this girl will not be able to hold up badly!" Jiang Xiaobai's tense heart finally relaxed, it's okay, it's okay.
"Thank you doctor for coming to the rescue, I didn't bring any money with me, you can just go to Anliangtang to report my name."
Jiang Xiaobai waited for them to wake up after placing the women again, and thanked the doctor for a while, no matter what, the doctor was not willing to take a penny, Jiang Xiaobai had no choice but to give up, staying in front of the bed and waiting for Xiaoqing to wake up, looking at Xiaoqing's pale lips, Jiang Xiaobai recalled that over the years, Xiaoqing had been with her from birth to death, and she almost lost her life several times, and she couldn't help but feel even more guilty. Secretly swore that she must be stronger, strong enough to protect the people around her.
Xiaoqing slowly opened her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she saw Jiang Xiaobai with guilt on her face, stood up with difficulty, helped Jiang Xiaobai up in shock, and said to Xiaoqing, "What are you doing, hurry up and lie down and rest." Xiaoqing didn't wait for Jiang Xiaobai to finish speaking, grabbed Jiang Xiaobai's arms tightly, and whispered in a weak voice.
"Miss, paper, pen!"
Jiang Xiaobai quickly understood what Xiaoqing meant, turned around and found a pen and paper in the room, and looked at the paper preparingly, "You say, I remember." ”
"About twenty-three years old, very thin, when I took the knife, I found that he was left-handed, his forehead was obviously protruding, his eyes were hanging, although his body was thin but his hands were very fierce, and he stabbed to the point, cough cough cough."
