At this time, a servant appeared...... The possibility of being an accomplice is not ruled out. Lu Zhaoling said cautiously.

"I think so, too, and I'll test him later." Yang Che agreed.

"Then let's pack our bags first, and let's go downstairs." Lu Zhaoling said.

When Lu Zhaoling and his party went downstairs, they saw a person standing next to the five people who were tied up, holding a sword and holding his arms, staring at them viciously.

"This brother, I heard that you are a servant?" Lu Zhaoling stepped forward and asked.

"Not bad." The man nodded.

"Dare to ask where is the government?"

"To the west of here, Tong County."

Tong County ...... It's also about four or five days away on horseback.

"Tongxian is still far from here." Lu Zhaoling said.

The official nodded: "Tongxian is a little far away. The nearest government office to the west from here is Changzhou, and the prefect is familiar with me, so I can escort these five people there. ”

Changzhou can be reached in two days.

"We're also about to go west, why don't we just go with Brother Tai?" Lu Zhaoling asked tentatively.

The man didn't hesitate and nodded, "That's the best." ”

In this way, is it a real servant?

Lu Zhaoling saw that he promised happily, and trusted him a lot in his heart for a while.

"Under the surname Lu, this son's surname is Yang, dare to ask what Brother Tai is called?" Lu Zhaoling briefly introduced the two of them, and then asked the officer.

"The surname is Zhao." The official replied briefly.

"Brother Zhao......" Lu Zhaoling nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly his eyes turned, and he caught a glimpse of the person who was lying on the ground, "By the way, since you are a servant, this person on the ground, why don't you just ask?" ”

Zhao Ya's expression did not change, and he said calmly: "I have already checked this person on the ground, and he hid the fragments of poisonous pills under his tongue, and committed suicide by biting poison, which is a common method used by assassination organizations." Usually the government doesn't bother with such matters unless someone reports the crime. If this person is related to you, and you want to ask the government to help you investigate, I can also take him with you. ”

"Why wouldn't the government ask?" Lu Zhaoling said strangely.

"The rivers and lakes are in the rivers and lakes, isn't this the rule of you who walk the rivers and lakes? If it does not disturb the normal livelihood of the people, the government will not interfere. ”

"There are still such rules......" Lu Zhaoling suddenly thought.

"You arrested these people, and I am waiting here to give you an explanation. Since you have to go with you, let's go as soon as possible. Zhao Yajun didn't procrastinate, and urged Lu Zhaoling.

"Okay."

Walking with this man all the way is not a trouble.

With Lu Zhaoling's consent, Zhao Yashi called out to the crowd: "Senior sister." ”

Immediately, a woman appeared in the crowd.

This woman looks younger than the official age, and her face still has a hint of girlish greenness, but the whole person deliberately tightens her face and makes a cold appearance.

"This is my junior sister, surnamed Xue." Zhao Yayi introduced.

"What a rare surname, it's so nice, hello Snow Maiden." Lu Zhaoling said hello kindly.

The Snow Maiden bowed slightly, without saying much.

Several people went out of the post house together, Zhao Yashi drove out a carriage, five prisoners and Snow Maiden squeezed into the carriage together, and the rest of Lu Zhaoling and his party still rode their own horses.

Lu Zhaoling glanced at the carriage with some curiosity.

It's really strange, this snow girl also carries a sword, and her demeanor is also a person who practices martial arts, why did Zhao Yashi hire a carriage to take her?

Lu Zhaoling rode a horse beside the carriage and asked Zhao Yashi, "Are you the only one on this journey?" ”

Zhao Yashi nodded.

"Where did you come from?"

"Huaizhou."

"Hmm......" Lu Zhaoling thought thoughtfully, "Huaizhou is very far away from Tong County, I don't know what Zhao Yashi is going to, can it be easily revealed?" ”

Zhao Yashi didn't think Lu Zhaoling had too many questions, and replied briskly: "For my junior sister, she is sick. ”

There was a violent cough from the snow girl in the carriage: "Senior brother, you didn't say that. ”

"I see. I had too many questions and was a bit rude. Lu Zhaoling took the initiative to apologize.

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Yayi didn't mind.

Lu Zhaoling didn't continue to talk to Zhao Yayi, and thought about it to himself.

The snow girl seemed to have a steady breath and enough qi, and she couldn't tell that she was a sick person, and she didn't know what kind of disease she was suffering from.

After walking for a while, several people were silent.

All the way to noon, there was no post house and town, and several people were a little hungry, so Lu Zhaoling thought about the picnic.

"Zhao Ya ......" Lu Zhaoling opened his mouth, wanting to discuss with Zhao Ya Servant.

It just so happened that Zhao Yashi also stopped the carriage at this time, and it seemed that he also had a plan.

"My junior sister needs to take medicine, let's take a break nearby."

"Well, that's exactly what I wanted." Lu Zhaoling nodded, "We also have some dry food, and we will leave lunch to us." ”

"Then there will be labor." Zhao Yashi did not politely refuse.

He's a straightforward person.

Lu Zhaoling had a little approval in his heart.

A few people came to the side of the road, looked for an open space, and got busy with their work.

Zhao Yashou helped the Snow Maiden out of the carriage and tied several prisoners to a tree. Then he took out a paper bag from his baggage and handed it to Snow Maiden.

The Snow Maiden took the paper bag with an ugly face.

"Ate it." Zhao Yashi ordered without question.

"Senior brother......" Snow Girl's face was a little aggrieved, obviously very resistant to this pack of medicine.

"Eat." Zhao Yashi ordered again, and reached out to help the Snow Maiden open the paper bag.

Lu Zhaoling looked at it from the sidelines, and there was some doubt in his heart. She quietly came to Shen Fengjiu's side and asked in a low voice, "Can you see the effect of the medicinal herbs in that paper packet?" ”

"It's somewhat toxic." Shen Fengjiu said.

Toxicity?

Lu Zhaoling frowned.

"What kind of toxicity?" She asked again.

"Slowly enter the body, it is not easy to detect, and if you take it for a long time, you will die." Shen Fengjiu replied in a low voice.

Lu Zhaoling looked at Shen Fengjiu in surprise, and couldn't help but peek at Zhao Yajun and the others.

The Snow Maiden had already frowned under the supervision of Zhao Yashi and fed the bag of medicinal herbs with water.

That Zhao Yashi doesn't look like a sinister and vicious person, and his relationship with his junior sister is quite harmonious, so he shouldn't want to poison his junior sister.

Lu Zhaoling decided to inquire about some more news first.

She approached Zhao Yajun and the two of them, and while handling the ingredients in her hand, she asked casually: "Brother Zhao said earlier that he went to Huaizhou because the Snow Maiden was sick, that is, he went to Huaizhou to seek medical treatment?" ”

"Yes." Zhao replied.

"What's the odd thing? I want to make a special trip to Huaizhou. Lu Zhaoling asked again.

Zhao glanced at her, as if he didn't want to answer.

Lu Zhaoling realized Zhao Yayi's attitude, and hurriedly explained: "That's the case, I know a famous doctor who is good at solving many incurable diseases, and I thought that maybe I could help Snow Maiden." ”

Zhao Yashi still did not answer, but looked at his junior sister inquiringly.

The Snow Maiden looked obviously unhappy, and said with some annoyance: "Don't bother the girl, we have already sought a famous doctor in Huaizhou, and we will get better after taking the medicine for a while." ”
