Xia Gongzi also laughed with her: "This girl is very straightforward." ”

Qu Zhixian also laughed: "Yes, yes." ”

"It's just that although the battle we fought was to save people, it didn't succeed, Xia Gongzi." Qu Zhixian's tone seemed to be a little regretful.

Xia Gongzi naturally knew what he meant, this time he went up the mountain to suppress bandits, and he knew that the reason why Quzhi County allowed him so many troops must be to save people. It's just that the scene was chaotic at that time, and he only had time to catch a few petty officers on guard, which must have disappointed him.

Xia Gongzi thought for a while and persuaded: "At least we know from their mouths that this is not a local bandit in Suzhuang, and judging from the captured weapons, this should be a gang of thieves who have been at sea all year round, as for why they suddenly appeared in Suzhuang, I think we will know tomorrow." ”

"Tomorrow?" Qu Zhixian was puzzled.

Xia Gongzi smiled modestly: "I have been on the rivers and lakes for a few years, and some friends can help." Before he finished his words, Qu Zhixian hurriedly interrupted him: "I understand, I understand, I don't care about your affairs on the rivers and lakes, you just do your job." If there is a place where Qu can be used, even if he speaks, Qu will definitely help with all his might. After he finished speaking, he also pushed the door in and went in to comfort the people in his hands.

But before he could push the door, the door opened automatically from the inside.

It was Imperial Physician Wang who opened the door, he glanced at Qu Zhixian and waved his hand: "Why is it so lively, don't you know that patients need to recuperate?" ”

As he spoke, he pushed Qu Zhixian out.

Qu Zhixian spread his hands helplessly: "It's okay, then I'll come to visit Miss Xia another day." ”

As soon as Qu Zhixian left, Imperial Physician Wang pursed his lips: "The eyebrows are united, and they must not be good people." As he spoke, he glanced back at Xia Gongzi and persuaded him: "Gongzi should not have more dealings with such people." ”

Xia Gongzi didn't care, just waved his hand: "Did my father send you here to heal the sick and save people, or to discipline me?" As he spoke, he laughed first. Just because he was young, it was convenient for the imperial physician to grow up in a courtyard, and the imperial physician was more than twenty years older than him. , so even if his identity is unusual, he behaves like a junior in front of him, and there is no politeness.

Imperial Physician Wang naturally knew that he had such a character, so he just shook his head: "Where the son said, this will not hurt the old slave." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the middle of the house: "The young lady in the house just woke up, and she only said that she was looking for Yuanyi, and I saw that she was too weak, so I lit her with requiem incense." ”

After speaking, he glanced back at the shadow who had been standing silently on the side. "Although your wound is well treated, you still need to change the dressing tomorrow, remember to come to me." With that, he walked towards the outside of the courtyard.

When Xia Gongzi saw him going out, he smiled and teased: "Go to Qinxiangyuan to listen to the play again?" ”

Doctor Wang waved his sleeves: "What Gongzi said is very true. And he went out of the courtyard.

Doctor Wang had just left the courtyard, and Xia Gongzi turned around and entered the house. And Yuan Yi also followed him into the house.

The house is full of simple wooden furniture, which does not look new, but it is not old. It was only under the guidance of Qu Zhi County that Xia Gongzi learned that this courtyard was owned by Xia Xueye. Ever since he had seen this woman on the guillotine that day, he had always had doubts that had never seen a woman's eyes as bright as the stars.

And now, she is lying on the bed, her eyes slightly closed, her face pale and calm, but there is a different taste.

Although he reads poetry and books to his heart's content, he only feels that he cannot describe his mood at this moment in words.

He just kept watching, as if he couldn't see through it, as if he couldn't see enough.

At the same time, in the Suzhuang Yamen, a bloody massacre was going on.

The robbers who were captured by Xia Gongzi were all killed by a dart in the back of the neck, and none of the thirteen robbers were spared, and according to the relevant officials, all this happened in a split second.

When the county Cheng Dai Min got the news and arrived, none of the thirteen people were still alive. It's just that what makes him strange is that Qu Zhixian, who has always been lazy in government affairs, came earlier than him this time.

He stepped forward and saluted, "Did the teacher find anything?" ”

However, Qu Zhixian's face was extremely ugly, and he was silent and did not say a word until he had browsed all the wounds of the thirteen people, and then he reluctantly spoke.

"It's up to you to do all this, and catch the murderer at all costs." After saying that, he left with a frown.

Dai Min also looked at the wounds one by one, it was indeed fatal with darts, and the murderer's kung fu must be amazing.

He walked around the cell twice, but he never thought that there would be such a powerful character in Sioux City. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly saw Qianniang, who was pressed by the government to come to do labor.

He was shocked in his heart, and when he looked at Qianniang again, he was already a little more angry and sad.

Qianniang obviously saw him too, her clear eyes fell on Dai Min without leaking, she shook the chain on her hand and beckoned to Dai Min.

Her intention was just to say hello to him, but Dai Min thought she wanted him to pass, so she hurriedly ran in her direction.

Seeing him coming, Qianniang wondered, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Dai Min thought she was asking about the deaths of the thirteen people, so she hurriedly replied: "It's okay, I'll investigate clearly." ”

Qianniang shook her head helplessly at first, then nodded again, and said, "I know, your kung fu in investigating the case is still first-class." Got a clue? ”

Dai Min shook his head: "The person who committed the crime this time should not be a native of Suzhuang, and it seems that many people are flocking to Suzhuang today." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qianniang nodded thoughtfully: "This time is indeed true, even Xia Xueye ......" She didn't finish speaking, as if she suddenly thought of something, and said: "By the way, they probably came because of a painting, it is said that rumors in the capital suddenly found Wu Daozi's true handiwork on our side, and it is his self-portrait." ”

Dai Min didn't understand: "Who is Wu Daozi?" ”

Qianniang shook her head, helpless and funny: "For such a question, you'd better go to the street and ask the storyteller." ”

After that, he stopped talking. Until Dai Min thought that she would not speak again and was ready to leave, she added: "If you really don't know, just ask Xia Xueye, she seems to know everything in this world." In addition, help me bring a word to her, if you have time, come and see me, I don't have much time, I always want to meet the people in this world that I miss me. ”

After saying that, he lowered his head. I couldn't see her expression.
