Xie Lingbai had a full meal for the first time in the past few days, and after eating, he stood up and thanked him: "Thank you Boss Wen, my brother is awake, I can start work, and I will be the subordinate of Wen Mansion from tomorrow." ”

As he spoke, he was about to leave, but when he sat together, the token in his arms fell, making a clear sound, Wen Changheng looked at the voice, and his face changed rarely when he saw the things clearly.

"How did you have this?"

Xie Lingbai, who had just picked up the token, sighed a little incomprehensibly, and then came back to his senses and asked, "Do you mean this?" Do you recognize this token? ”

"I don't know."

"Liar, your tone just now is obviously recognized, Boss Wen, can you tell me who this token-like thing belongs to? I found it on the rubble of my house, and I think the fire in my house was very strange, and when I rushed in, my father and mother were lying on the ground, and they must have been murdered, maybe it was left by the murderer. ”

Wen Changheng got up and walked out, Xie Lingbai wanted to follow, but was stopped by Wei Xue.

"Wen Changheng, this is really important to me, can you tell me if you know?"

Wen Changheng's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor, Xie Lingbai was a little discouraged, he was busy taking care of Xie Jinqing in the past few days, he forgot about it, he hadn't gone to the government to ask about the situation, and he didn't know what conclusions he had reached.

But now that it's dark, I have to wait until tomorrow to go again, Xie Lingbai returned to the guest room with his heart on his mind.

"Brother."

"Xiao Jin, are you hungry?"

"I've already drunk porridge, and it's brought by Sister Xiaorui."

"That's good, if there is anything uncomfortable, you must tell me as soon as possible."

Xie Jinqing nodded, there are two beds in the guest room, Xie Lingbai has been staying in front of Xie Jinqing's bed before, and tonight can be regarded as lying on the bed for a little rest, but although Xie Jinqing's situation has improved, how can he rest at ease if he loses his father and mother overnight.

He turned his head to look at Xie Jinqing on the bed opposite, although Xie Jinqing was only seven years old, he had always been very sensible and well-behaved, just like now, he didn't ask about his father and mother, because he knew that everyone would be sad if he asked.

Xie Lingbai thought, if he could be so sensible, would his father and mother not be so laborious before? Every time my father would get angry because he was in trouble, but he never really hit him, at most he knelt in the ancestral hall.

He looked at the token in his hand, where did this thing come from? He remembered very well that he had never seen him at home.

Xie Lingbai was thinking about these things in his head, but because he really hadn't rested much recently, his thoughts began to blur after a while.

He dreamed of when he was a child, and also dreamed that when Xie Jinqing was born, his mother was a very gentle person, and although his father was sometimes serious, he was probably still very fond of him.

I didn't know the taste of sorrow before, but now I open my heart, which is full of sorrow and pain, but now I can't tolerate him being sad, he must be stronger in order to take care of Xie Jinqing.

"There are assassins."

There was a shout outside, Xie Lingbai woke up, got up and heard some fighting.

"Brother?"

Xie Jinqing was also woken up, Xie Lingbai walked over to cover the quilt for him, and said in a low voice: "Sleep obediently, I'll take a look." After speaking, he walked to the door and opened the door, only to see a few guards in the courtyard fighting with a few black-clad and masked people.

Eh, is Wenfu such a dangerous place? Is it because the money is too much to be remembered by thieves?

One of the black-clothed men saw him and threw the sword in his hand directly at him, Xie Lingbai had learned kung fu for a few years, dodged away, and the sword was inserted into the door panel.

Then he saw several men in black coming towards him, but fortunately the guards stopped him.

"Damn, you're here for Lao Tzu?"

Xie Ling was stunned, although he has often made trouble since he was a child, he has never encountered this kind of assassination drama, who hates him so much, he has to make matters worse if he doesn't even have a home? !

Family...... Xie Lingbai's mind flashed, could it be that these people ......

Because of the guards' shouts just now, the guards from other courtyards also rushed over at this time, Wei Xue came down from the roof, although Xie Lingbai knew that Wei Ze's kung fu was above him, but he didn't expect it to be much more powerful than he imagined.

It didn't take long for the black-clothed men to be caught, and Xie Lingbai ran over and shouted, "Who are you?" Did you kill my father? ”

"Hmm......" The men let out a muffled snort, and then they all fell to the ground, and Wei Ze lifted their face scarves to find them all dead.

"They have poison in their mouths, bite it and die, and it seems that they are professional killers."

Wei Xue said this to Wen Changheng at the gate of the courtyard, and Xie Lingbai ran to Wen Changheng: "Wen Changheng, they must have been sent by the person who killed my father's mother." ”

He took out the token and said firmly: "You must know where this belongs, please tell me?" I don't want my family to die so inexplicably. ”

"Even if you knew, you wouldn't be able to do anything."

"Even if I can't do anything, I must at least find out why they were killed!"

Wen Changheng looked at him quietly for a while, and sighed: "This is the waist card of the imperial doctor in the palace." ”

Xie Lingbai was stunned, looked down at the token in his hand, and said suspiciously: "Imperial Doctor? Why is the Imperial Doctor's waist card in my house? ”

Aren't all the imperial doctors in the palace? It's impossible to be a killer......

"If you pick it up, it doesn't mean that your family's affairs must be related to the Imperial Doctor."

"But this is my only clue, I went to the ruins yesterday to look for it, but I didn't find anything else."

"So what?"

Xie Lingbai opened his mouth, wanting to say that if there was a clue, of course he was going to investigate, but Wen Changheng's next sentence was like a basin of cold water on his head, and he only heard him say: "Even if you hold this waist card, you can't enter the palace, and you can't find anything." ”

"I ...... What if I hand it over to Zhang County? ”

"You can try, but there is no evidence, do you think that with Zhang Tian's character, he will help you investigate this matter? The waist card of the imperial doctor involves the palace, he is the county commander of this Xiyao City, calling for wind and rain here, but only here. ”

Xie Lingbai understood what Wen Changheng meant, Zhang Xianling was notoriously timid and afraid, and he would never take risks because of his words, and maybe he would take away this waist card and destroy it.

What to do? What to do? I can't enter the palace by myself, and the county order can't help, so do you give up this only clue? Or wait for those people to come and assassinate you again? But just now, those people committed suicide by taking poison directly, and they didn't give a chance to interrogate at all.

If it was speculated that there was something strange about his father's death, but now that there is a problem, they have sent assassins over, and they must have known that he and Xiao Jin were not dead, so they came to mend the knife.

"I, I must find out, so that my father and mother and the housekeeper can be blind, and in order to protect my brother, otherwise those people will not give up."

"Whatever you want."

Wen Changheng turned around and left the courtyard, Wei Xue added some guards here, Xie Lingbai returned to the room and tightened his grip on the waist card, the waist card of the imperial doctor, what does the death of the father and mother have to do with the imperial doctor?

But as Wen Changheng said, he has no way at all, if it is really related to the palace, let alone revenge, he has no chance to investigate.

"Brother, what's going on?"

Xie Jinqing didn't speak when he saw him come in, and couldn't help asking, Xie Lingbai walked to the side of his bed and sat down, patted his quilt and said, "It's okay, it's just a thief who broke in, let's sleep." ”

Until Xie Jinqing fell asleep again, Xie Lingbai didn't go back to his bed, just leaned on the edge of Xie Jinqing's bed, rubbing his fingers against the symbol on the waist card.

On the second day, the official of the government came to inform Xie Lingbai that he could go and retrieve the bones, and the county commander Zhang Tian said that he had checked it, and it was just an ordinary fire.

"Lord Zhang, how could an ordinary fire burn so big all at once, when I rushed in, I saw my father and mother and the housekeeper all fall together, I think this matter is ......"

"Okay, I know you're sad, but it's already happened, so what about falling together? They may have found out that there was a fire and escaped together, but the fire was too big to get out, so they all choked. ”

"But ......"

"The corpses are burned, there are only a few bones left that have not been burned, and I can't tell whose ones it is, how do you say let's check, the weather is dry, and it is normal to cause fires, so quickly take them back and bury them well, so that your father and mother can also be buried as soon as possible."

Seeing Zhang Tian's attitude, Xie Lingbai also knew that it was impossible for him to re-investigate the case, so he had to bring the bones back, and Uncle Chen arranged a room to place the bones, and asked someone to help carve the spiritual position, buy the coffin, and calculate the day of the funeral.

"Thank you, Uncle Chen."

"This is what the master ordered, Xiao Xie, don't be too sad, people can't be resurrected after death, the most important thing is that the living live well, you still have a younger brother to take care of."

"I know."

After Uncle Chen left, Xie Ling's white eyes slowly turned red, and he reached out to touch the coffin, the people he had been closest to since he was a child were all in it, but he didn't even have a complete body.

"Dad, mother......" Xie Lingbai slowly knelt down and choked up: "The child is not filial, and he did not serve you well in front of you; And after you die, there is no justice for you. ”

It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, but what can he do now besides shedding tears?! For the first time, I felt my incompetence, and the pride of self-righteousness that I had felt before was gone in an instant.

I always feel that I am very powerful, but now I realize that without my father and mother, I am nothing.

There were a few coughs at the door, Xie Lingbai turned his head to look over, and saw Xie Jinqing standing there.

"Xiao Jin."

Xie Jinqing slowly walked in front of him, and after seeing him crying clearly, he finally couldn't help crying, "Brother, will we never see our father and mother again in the future?" Xiao Jin doesn't have a father and mother......"

Xie Lingbai hugged him and said, "Don't cry, Xiao Jin, you still have me." ”

Xie Lingbai wiped the tears on his face, and then wiped it clean for Xie Jinqing, held his hand and promised: "Don't worry, as long as your brother is here, you won't be able to suffer, and your father and mother will also watch us in the sky, so we have to be happy, so they can rest assured, you know?" ”

Xie Jinqing nodded with red eyes, and Xie Lingbai realized that if he blindly immersed himself in pain, Xie Jinqing would also collapse.

He is not alone, he still has a younger brother, if he falls, what should Xie Jinqing do?

The two of them stayed in front of the coffin for a while and then went back to the room, Xie Lingbai asked Xie Jinqing to take a nap and rest, and he went to Wen Changheng's study.

"Boss Wen, I thought about it, this matter still can't be settled like this, if I can't find out the truth, I will never be able to forgive myself, besides, Xiao Jin and I are still alive, and they will not give up, so in the end, we still need to solve the root cause in order to restore a peaceful life."

Wen Changheng didn't speak, just looked at him, Xie Lingbai made up his mind and said: "I heard that the Tai Hospital will select the Tai Doctor every three years, and there will be a chance next year, if, if I find Zhang Xian Ling to recommend it to the past and participate in the selection to become a Tai Doctor......

"By you?"

"Although I don't understand anything now, I can learn, this is the only way I can think of, even if it is difficult, I have to give it a try, I will go to the medical center tomorrow to learn art."

It would be nice if I listened to my father's words since I was a child and studied medicine hard, but things are already like this, and it's useless to think about the past, and I don't know what the requirements for the selection of imperial doctors in the palace are, so you must be very proficient in medical skills.

I'm only starting to learn now, so is it really too late?
