The next day, as soon as Feifei finished breakfast, he heard that Mrs. Lu and Xiaoxi were already waiting in the flower hall, put down the dishes and chopsticks, and hurriedly ran over. As soon as I entered the flower hall, I saw Lu Fang and his wife sitting and drinking tea, Xiaoxi stood behind them, kept looking out, saw Feifei coming, and hurriedly called Miss happily, so he greeted him.

Feifei took Xiaoxi's hand, said hello to Lu Fang and his wife, and asked Xiaoxi, "How did you rest yesterday?"

"I slept superbly, miss, Xiaoxi never wanted to be separated from you again. Xiao Xi pulled Feifei's hand and lied coquettishly.

Feifei patted Xiaoxi's hand and said, "Wait, let's go to my room and have a good chat." ”

As he was talking, Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce walked in with a smile, Lu Fang and his wife hurriedly stood up and luggage, Bao Zheng waved his hand to signal that Lu Fang and his wife did not need to be polite, let them sit and talk, and after sitting down casually, he looked at Xiaoxi and said, "This must be Xiaoxi girl." ”

Xiaoxi saw Bao Zheng for the first time, and saw that although he was smiling, he had a natural official authority, so he couldn't help but be afraid, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Lord Hui, the people's daughter is Xiaoxi." ”

Bao Zheng saw that she was scared like that, and said with a pleasant face: "Miss Xiaoxi, this is not a public court, you don't need to kneel, there are still some things to ask you in this mansion, you get up and talk back." ”

Konishi nodded, got up tremblingly, and stood with his head bowed.

Bao Zheng said: "Miss Xiaoxi, you should carefully tell what happened on the night of the crime. ”

Xiaoxi thought for a while and said: "At that time, the young lady went to the study to find the master and asked me to wait outside. Who knows, as soon as I ran to the front yard, I saw a man in black, like crazy, cutting people when he saw them, I was frightened, and I quickly ran back. ”

Bao Zheng nodded and said, "Have you seen the killer's appearance?"

Konishi said: "He had a face towel on his face, and the night was too dark, I only vaguely remember that the man was thin and small, and the weapon in his hand was a little strange. ”

"Oh, what's the weird method?" asked Bao Zheng

"This .....," Xiaoxi glanced at Lu Fang and his wife in embarrassment.

"Lord Hui, the weapon that Miss Xiaoxi said is very similar to the 'water-splitting Emei thorn' made by the fourth brother of the grass people." Lu Fang suddenly stood up and interrupted Xiaoxi's words.

Bao Zheng was surprised, and motioned to Lu Fang with his eyes to continue.

Lu Fang said: "Last night, the fifth brother told us that when he was looking for clues in Songjiang County, he overheard a fisherman claiming to have rescued a girl when he went out to sea to fish. The fifth brother suspected that it might be Miss Xiaoxi, so he quietly followed him home. I don't want to, it's really a coincidence, after a few words and questions, it was really Miss Xiaoxi, I heard that she and Miss Xue made an appointment to meet in Kaifeng Mansion, so I brought her here. ”

Bao Zheng let out an "oh" and asked again: "Then how did Lu Daxia know that the murderer's weapon was very similar to your fourth brother?"

Lu Fang said: "When the fifth brother met Miss Xiaoxi, she still had injuries on her body, last night, when Humble Jing checked the wound for Miss Xiaoxi, she found that the wound looked very similar to being injured by the Emei thorn. ”

After hearing this, Bao Zheng was silent, and after a while, he asked Xiaoxi again: "Miss Xiaoxi, how did you escape the pursuit of the murderer?"

Xiaoxi said: "After I broke up with the young lady, I paddled desperately on the river for a while, and when I got to the river, I suddenly felt that the stern of the boat sank, and the man in black didn't know when to get on the boat, and he found that I didn't have red porcelain, so he stabbed me and pushed me into the river, and then I didn't know anything." When I woke up, I was already in the house of the kind fisherman. ”

Bao Zheng nodded, and asked Xue Feifei again: "Miss Xue, did you see the man in black jumping into the river that night, instead of rowing a boat to chase Miss Xiaoxi?"

Xue Feifei carefully recalled the memories left by the original owner, nodded and said, "That's right, I saw him jump into the river to chase after him." ”

Bao Zheng glanced at Lu Fang, and stopped talking, Lu Fang saw this, and took the initiative to say: "My lord, the grass people came to Kaifeng Mansion today to talk about this matter, that is, I believe that the fourth brother will never do this kind of hurtful thing, now, the fifth brother has returned to the empty island to find him, and in the near future, he will be brought to Kaifeng Mansion, and at that time, the adults can investigate this matter in detail." ”

At this time, Zhanzhao appeared at the door of the flower hall in a red official robe, and he saluted Bao Zheng and his party: "My lord, Prime Minister Wang Cheng has arrived." ”

Bao Zheng hurriedly got up and said, "There is a guard from Lao Zhan, please invite the prime minister to the study and wait for a while, and the mansion will come later." ”

Zhan Zhao nodded, glanced at Xue Feifei, and saw her drinking tea leisurely, thinking that her foot injury was no longer serious, so he turned around and left.

Bao Zheng walked up to Lu Fang and said: "Jiang Daxia is very clear about his own house, but this case is too brutal and involves a wide range of people, and I also ask Jiang Daxia to come to Kaifeng Mansion as soon as possible to cooperate with the investigation of the case, and his innocence has been proven." ”

Lu Fang hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't worry, my lord, this matter is related to my fourth brother's reputation, and we will fully cooperate." ”

Bao Zheng nodded, and walked quickly to the study.

After Gongsun Ce waited for Bao Zheng to leave, his eyes rolled, and he said to Xiaoxi: "Since Miss Xiaoxi is a witness involved in the case, it is better to stay in Kaifeng Mansion with Miss Xue, so that adults can inquire about the case at any time, and it just so happens that there is a vacant room next door to Miss Xue, so I will let someone sort it out." ”

When Xiaoxi heard that he could live with Feifei, he happily agreed.

Seeing this, Lu Fang was about to get up and say goodbye, but Gongsun Ce hurriedly said, "Lu Daxia, please stay, there are still some things I want to ask Mrs. Lu for advice." ”

Feifei and Xiaoxi were chatting, and suddenly heard that Gongsun Ce was looking for Mrs. Lu something, and he was not curious, so he looked at Gongsun Ce, and saw that Gongsun Ce was also looking at him with a deep meaning, his eyes flashed with essence, Feifei suddenly felt panicked, but he heard Gongsun Ce say: "The two girls have been reunited for a long time, and there must be a lot to talk about, so it is better to ask Miss Xue to take Miss Xiaoxi to the chrysanthemum where you live to chat, and by the way, I am familiar with the environment of Kaifeng Mansion." ”

Feifei thought to himself: "Is this trying to break my rhythm? I don't know what this Gongsun fox wants to talk to Mrs. Lu..."

But after thinking about it, Feifei still obediently responded, and Xiaoxi was even more excited to pull Feifei and go out. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Zhan Zhao coming towards him, saw Feifei and them walking out, nodded with a smile, and then entered the flower hall.

Feifei felt like being bitten by thousands of insects at this time, the feeling of knowing that something was wrong, and most of it was related to herself, but she just didn't know what it was, made her feel uncomfortable. Helpless, now she has to get up to deal with Xiaoxi, she has been with Miss Xue for many years, and if she accidentally lets her see the flaws, it will be troublesome. Forget it, forget it, let them go.

Zhan Zhao saw Feifei and Xiaoxi walking away, so he said to Mr. Gongsun, "Sir, did you find anything when you treated Miss Xue last night?"

Mrs. Lu asked in surprise, "Is Miss Xue injured?" I see that she is in good spirits today, and she does not look like an injured person. ”

Gongsun Ce said: "Yesterday, Miss Xue accidentally injured her foot when she came back, I saw that when she pressed her feet with medicinal oil, the acupuncture points were found very accurately and quickly. ”

Mrs. Lu said with the same feeling: "Yes, yesterday, when she was first aiding the child in the wine shop, I was next to me, and I saw it clearly, the treatment method was really decisive and accurate, looking at the way she rescued people, people who didn't know really thought it was a female doctor." Later, after Master Zhan and Miss Xue left, I was not at ease, and I diagnosed the child's lower pulse, guess what? Miss Xue judged the condition very accurately, and it was not wrong that the child was epilepsy. This is really strange, and it is not an ordinary cold and fever, this disease is also extremely rare in our Great Song Dynasty, even I was when I traveled with my master, I encountered several similar cases, and I was able to know about it. She is a boudoir woman, how can she not even diagnose the pulse, she dares to conclude the condition and rescue. ”

Zhan Zhao thought for a moment and asked, "Is it possible that Miss Xue once studied medicine from a teacher?"

Gongsun Ce said: "If she only understands some simple medical theories, maybe it is possible. But the ability to diagnose diseases with acupoints is not something that can be learned just by reading medical books, it needs to be constantly practiced, let me ask, the Xue family is not a medical family, how could Master Xue let his daughter show up and do such a thing?"

Lu Fang said in a sullen voice on the side: "Miss Xue looks like a boudoir lady from a big family, I see that her words and deeds are full of rivers and lakes, but like a woman walking the rivers and lakes." ”

Zhan Zhao said thoughtfully: "Now that Miss Xiaoxi has also been found, she has been with Miss Xue for the longest time, and she should be the one who knows her family best, so it is better to ask Miss Xiaoxi in 2 days." ”

Gongsun Ce said with a smile: "Fortunately, I see that this Xue girl is acting very aggressively, not like a person with bad intentions, and there will be Lao Zhan's guards to pay more attention to her during this time." ”

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Mr. Gongsun doesn't need to be polite. ”

Seeing that it was not too early, Lu Fang and his wife got up to say goodbye.
