In the study of the yamen.

Ling Xiaotian stared at the official document in his hand in a daze.

It's been almost half a month, and not only have they not arrested Feng Zhaoyuan, but more and more patients have been admitted to the city's Chinese medicine hall.

He deliberately asked people to block the news, so most of the people in the city didn't know what was going on, and only a few medical centers that had signed contracts with the Incense Pavilion knew about it.

"Lord Wang. Kuroko is coming. Master Li said at the door.

Ling Xiaotian came back to his senses and put down the official document in his hand.

Heizi has now become a junior apprentice in the Incense Pavilion, and often comes to the yamen to help Su Baitong deliver news or something.

"Let him in."

As soon as he finished speaking, Kuroko walked in from outside, first saluted properly, and then took out a letter from his arms.

Ling Xiaotian joked: "I see that you still learn the rules decently." ”

Kuroko grinned, "It's all taught by our young lady." ”

In just a few days, she became "our young lady".

Ling Xiaotian opened the letter with a smile and looked at it, but his face changed color.

"Ghost Face!" He shouted outside the door, "Prepare the horse, I'm going to Chen's mansion." ”

Kuroko saw that Ling Xiaotian was leaving. So he bowed and prepared to retreat.

"Wait a minute." Ling Xiaotian suddenly stopped him, "In addition to asking you to deliver the letter, did Miss Su ask you to send me anything?" ”

Kuroko thought for a moment, "That's right! Miss Su said. You need to be careful. ”

"Got it." Ling Xiaotian smiled contentedly, and casually threw him a small piece of broken silver as a reward.

Kuroko got the reward and left happily.

Ling Xiaotian took people directly to the Chen Mansion here.

When Master Chen heard from the housekeeper that Lord Yushi had arrived, he hurriedly welcomed him out of the house in person and invited him to the study to talk.

At noon, Chen Zhinan was busy with the official affairs of the yamen, and happened to pass by the gate of his house, only to see dozens of officials guarding the gate of the house.

He couldn't help but feel strange, so he dismounted and entered the mansion.

Mrs. Chen arranged lunch early, and she was very happy to see her son come back for dinner.

"Miss Su's case hasn't been settled yet?" Mrs. Chen said with concern.

Chen Zhinan shook his head, "There is no way out for the Liang Mansion to retreat, saying that Miss Liang suddenly fell seriously ill and wanted to be sent to the temple to recuperate for a while." ”

Mrs. Chen smiled bitterly, what kind of quiet recuperation, avoiding disasters is true.

"Father is in the house? When I entered the gate just now, I saw people from the yamen guarding there. Chen Zhinan asked, he remembered that today was the day of his father's rest.

"The Inspector is here, and he is talking in the study." Mrs. Chen said.

"Mishi-sama?" Chen Zhinan was stunned. It is said that the visit of the patrol according to the imperial history should be posted in advance, why did he come in such a hurry now.

The more Chen Zhinan thought about it, the more he felt that things were different, so he thought about it and said: "When Lord Yushi visits, I always have to show my underneath." ”

Mrs. Chen couldn't stop him, so she could only let him go.

Chen Zhinan walked through the garden and chose a shortcut to his father's study.

In autumn, the garden is lush with vegetation. Most of the paths had been covered with flowers and vines, and Chen Zhinan walked in a hurry, faintly smelling the smell of musk coming from the wind.

Musk is a precious spice, and it is by no means something that ordinary maids in the house can afford, he looked left and right, but he did not see half a figure around the path, and he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

He had just walked to the door of the study courtyard when a breeze blew. The shadows of the trees flickered, and a black shadow loomed right above his head.

Chen Zhinan raised his head, and against the sunlight from the canopy, he was surprised to see a child climbing on the branch.

The child, as if sensing his gaze, turned his head and grinned at him, revealing sharp teeth at the corners of his lips.

Chen Zhinan only felt a chill rise behind him.

The child had just been hiding in a tree, just in time to see through the window of the study.

"What are you doing? Come down! Chen Zhinan shouted.

The boy in the tree didn't care, and with a deft leap of his body, he jumped onto the roof.

"What people!" Master Chen in the house heard the movement outside and went out to check.

"Father." Chen Zhinan pointed to the roof and said urgently, "It's that kid......"

"Which child?" Old Man Chen was surprised.

"It's the child that Aunt Lingxiang brought."

Master Chen's face couldn't help but change, "Hugh is talking nonsense, where is the child next to Lingxiang, she is just thinking about it, and she raises the cat she raised as a child!" ”

Cat?

Chen Zhinan was stunned on the spot.

Ling Xiaotian also came out of the study at this time, and looked up at the roof, but at this time the child was gone.

"How can this be...... Chen Zhinan muttered, "He obviously looks like a child......" He suddenly remembered that Su Baitong had given him two packets of incense powder before, and he hurriedly rummaged through his purse to find out the spices. Low island saga.

"Lord Chen." Ling Xiaotian said, "The cat that Chen Gongzi mentioned just now is the purpose of this official's visit, and I also ask Lord Chen to make it convenient and lead me to see it." ”

Master Chen was confused, he couldn't figure out if this Inspector Yushi ran to their mansion just to see the pet cat raised by his concubine?

"In that case, please come with me." Master Chen said helplessly, because Lingxiang is a female dependent, so he can only be led by Master Chen.

The three of them left the study and went directly to the back house.

Xiangling's courtyard is located in the south courtyard, which is extremely far away from Mrs. Chen's main courtyard, and even Chen Zhinan rarely comes here.

The courtyard was quiet, and the three of them entered the courtyard, but no one came out to greet them at the gate of the courtyard.

Not only that, but even the mother-in-law who guarded the door was nowhere to be seen.

Master Chen became more and more dissatisfied, the current middle feed in the mansion was controlled by Mrs. Chen, and when he saw this scene, he couldn't help but suspect that his wife in the main room was deliberately making things difficult for Linghua.

"Why isn't there anyone here?" Chen Zhinan was puzzled.

No one reported it, so they had to go straight in.

Master Chen went to the main house first, and because Ling Xiaotian was a guest, he could only stand in the courtyard and wait.

Master Chen's voice sounded in the room, "Where have these short-sighted minions died!" ”

The breeze blows the large clusters of acacia flowers outside the window, and the red flowers sway in the wind, faintly tinged with a hint of fishiness.

Ling Xiaotian's eyes turned slightly, and he walked slowly to the window.

Chen Zhinan also entered the house at this time, but the father and son searched the whole house and didn't see half a figure, not only the next person, but even Linghua was nowhere to be found.

Ling Xiaotian had just walked in front of the flowers, when a water droplet suddenly fell from the eaves.

"Click" drips on top of the flowers.

Ling Xiaotian stood still.

"Smack"! Another drop.

It's raining? He looked up and saw that the sun was shining in the sky, not even a trace of clouds.

Where does it look like it's going to rain?

"Smack"! This time, the water droplets landed on the emerald green leaves, and the water droplets swirled on the surface of the leaves, and finally stopped in the center of the leaves.

The red water droplets, like gorgeous rubies, sparkle with an eerie brilliance in the sun.

Ling Xiaotian slowly stretched out his hand, and his fingertips were stained with the droplets.

The red liquid immediately adhered to the top of his fingertips, with a slight stickiness......
