Qi Junce asked General Ling Xiao to investigate the matter of the embroidery girl before, and everyone sat in the flower hall in a solemn mood, only Jiang Yu paced back and forth uneasily.

Baozhu hesitated again and again, originally thinking about not going to this troubled water, but thinking that it was a human life after all, he couldn't help but walk to Qi Junce's side and speak.

"Master, the concubine has made some new discoveries."

Qi Junce was a little surprised, "Oh? What to find. ”

Baozhu picked up the embroidered shoe again, removed some of the dirt, and twisted it on his fingertips. immediately came to Qi Junce's front and motioned for Qi Junce to smell it.

Qi Junce frowned, but didn't seem to smell anything. The jewel turned like Ma Dong stretched out his hand, Ma Dong sniffed hard, and his eyes instantly lit up.

"Hmmm! Your Majesty, my lord, this soil has a bitter taste. Ma Dong said.

When Jiang Yu heard this, he grabbed the jewel with his hand, and the jewel stumbled in fright. However, if she cares, she is chaotic, so she cooperates silently.

"Yes, sir, there is a bitter smell that seems to be medicine." Jiang Yu said.

Baozhu withdrew his hand, turned to Qi Junce and said seriously: "The concubine knows some Qihuang techniques, and this bitter taste is a medicine called bone change. ”

"Bone change?" Qi Junce repeated in confusion, "What is the use of this thing." ”

Baozhu had already memorized all the medicinal effects told by the moon slave in her heart, and the fact that the moon slave knew how to heal was a hole card, and she didn't want to expose it.

"This substance is used by patients with fractures and injuries, and it has a miraculous effect on the butt bones. However, the growing conditions are harsh, so it is difficult to find 100 gold. Baozhu said calmly.

Then he turned to Li Mu, "Li Fuya, maybe we can find some new clues from here." ”

Li Fuya hurriedly said what his wife said, and called his subordinates to start investigating the pharmacy in the city.

After a while, the good news came that the only medicine shop in the city had a bone change was Liang Kee Pharmacy, and the only one that had a bone change was bought by someone with a lot of money before March.

It just so happened that this person was a well-known local wealthy merchant in the Huang Mansion, so the shopkeeper was deeply impressed by this.

And General Ling Xiao, who went to investigate the dead embroidery girl, brought back news about the woman, it turned out that the woman's surname was Hong, and her name was Feng Niang.

No wonder he likes Maple Leaf so much, Baozhu said secretly.

In the early years, he married this god from elsewhere, his parents died early, and there was only one brother in the family. said that he was married, but it was better to say that he was sold by his brother.

Sold to a ferryman to Shenmu, who was not good to her. People floating on the river could often hear their boat, scolding and women's weeping.

But Feng Niang is still wholeheartedly for this family, her embroidery is very outstanding, and she has set up a small stall on the street to sell handkerchiefs and embroidered shoes.

Because of the exquisite workmanship, it is famous in Shenmu. But the good times didn't last long, the boatman drowned in the Shenmu River, and Feng Niang cried in the boat every night.

Not long after, Feng Niang was also found dead by the river. Post-mortem examinations, all of which were drowned.

Qi Junce and Baozhu and his party were a little embarrassed after listening to Feng Niang's story, and Yue Nu even said that she was really a miserable woman.

But Baozhu always felt that something was faintly wrong, but the carriage had arrived at the door of the Yellow Mansion, and Baozhu retracted his scattered thoughts.

Although this sacred tree is not prosperous, it is fortunate to rely on a large river that runs north and south. And the Huang family has followed this advantage and has been lucky since their ancestors.

Gradually, the Huang family became one of the few wealthy families in Shenmu.

The Huang family is now in charge of the second son of Master Huang, the eldest son is sick all the year round, the younger son is strong, and Master Huang is a person who likes to indulge in wine and meat.

For example, when Baozhu and his party arrived, he fished it back from Wanchun Tower, and he still had a strong smell of wine on his body.

Master Huang stumbled into the door with Qi Junce, and Li Mu's face turned green and helped him.

Fortunately, the group sat down in the flower hall, and Master Huang remembered to ask: "I don't know what happened when the adults came to the cold house?" ”

The orb gave the moon slave a look, and the moon slave secretly retreated.

"Three months ago, Master Huang purchased a bone change, do you still have an impression?" Qi Junce asked patiently.

"Bone change?" Master Huang sucked his red nose, "The bone-changing grass people don't know, but the Huanniang grass people know that she is Wanchun Building..."

Before Master Huang finished speaking, Li Mu anxiously covered his mouth, his face full of helplessness.

"Master Yan, seeing that he is drunk, he can't ask anything. It's better to give Mr. Huang a bar first! Li Mu said.

Qi Junce's patience was a little exhausted, and he said with displeasure on his face: "Come on, bring cold water for Master Huang to wake up!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, another voice rang out from outside the door.

"Wait," a tall man walked in through the door. "My father was drunk and disturbed the distinguished guests, and I asked the distinguished guests to bear with me."

It seems that this is Master Huang's second son, Huang Xun.

Huang Xun respectfully saluted Qijun, and then motioned for the servant to leave the flower hall with the drunk and unconscious Master Huang.

"I don't know what the official wants to know, just ask me." Huang Xun said.

Qi Junce repeated what he had just said, and Huang Xun's face remained the same, with a decent smile.

"Yes, I bought the bones. Just because I accidentally fell and injured my calf three months ago, I heard that this medicine has a miraculous effect, and it cost me a lot of money. Huang Xun generously admitted.

Orb was a little surprised, and if what he said was true, the line was broken.

"How did Huang Gongzi hurt his leg?" Jiang Yu on the side continued to ask without giving up.

Huang Xun smiled slightly and answered Jiang Xun's doubts: "When I was supervising the unloading of workers by the river, I was accidentally hit by a heavy object. ”

Then he bent down and made a gesture to pull up his trouser legs. "Madame, do you want to see one or two?"

Jiang Yu gritted his teeth, didn't care that Qi Junce hadn't spoken yet, and said it firmly.

Huang Xun pulled up his trouser legs, and there was indeed a scar on his leg, but Baozhu couldn't tell if it was a broken wound.

At this time, the moon slave came back from outside the hall, approached Baozhu's ear, and informed that in a small courtyard in the west corner of the courtyard, the smell of bone change was the heaviest.

Yue Nu followed Baozhu's gaze and saw the scar on Huang Xun's leg, but told Baozhu that it was just a serious abrasion, not a broken scar.

Baozhu's eyes narrowed, looking at Huang Xun, who was too calm in front of him, he always felt that things were not so simple.

But because there was no evidence, Qi Junce and his party had to leave first.

The appearance of the jewel on the carriage that had been contemplating Qi Junce couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter, it's always like this?" ”

Baozhu tentatively asked Qijun Cejue, do you think there may be a problem with this Huang family?

Qi Junce nodded, "But this Huang Xun has no flaws, and I can't search the house directly." ”

"The biggest flaw in this story is the drowning of the boatman, how can a man who begs for a living in the river not know water?" Baozhu said.

Qi Junce looked at Baozhu's small face, and suddenly felt that she didn't seem to be the delicate woman she usually was.

"And Feng Niang was tortured by the boatman, how could she be sad and martyred after the boatman died, unless she was crazy." Baozhu said indignantly.

"Yes," said Qi Junce, "this is the biggest suspicion. And Feng Niang is not familiar with those women, but some have bought things from her. ”

"But what's the use of talking about it now!" Jiang Yu, who had been tense and nervous, couldn't help but say that at this moment, more than half a day had passed since Xiao Man was taken away, and Baozhu could understand that her heart was burning.

"Your Majesty, please search the Huang Mansion directly!" Jiang Yu grabbed Qi Junce's arm and pleaded.

"No," Baozhu said, "this will reveal His Majesty's identity, which is very dangerous, sister, don't worry." ”

"How could I not be in a hurry!" Jiang Yu shouted at the orb, with a little teardrop in the corner of his eye. "That's the girl I grew up with."

"Alright, I'll figure it out." Qi Junce comforted Jiang Yu, and Baozhu's brain spun rapidly.

"But there's nothing we can do now, can we?" Jiang Yu said with a cry.

"No," a flash of inspiration flashed in Baozhu's mind, "since the enemy is dark and I am clear, then we must lure the snake out of the hole." ”

"What are you talking about?" Jiang Yu looked at the jewel in puzzlement, and so did Qi Junce.

"Everything started because of Feng Niang, so you can only use her." Baozhu said.

In the afternoon, Shenmu posted notices all over the place, causing the masses to discuss.

"Tut-tut, this Feng Niang is also pitiful, but she shouldn't be troubled after death, this fate of a corpse with no bones left, it's really pitiful!"

"What a pity, she killed seven women. This kind of evil should be dealt with as soon as possible! ”

"That's it, I'm going to see the burning scene at noon tomorrow with my own eyes, and I will smack this demon girl twice."

Baozhu and his party sat in the restaurant, listening to the discussions downstairs. The announcement issued by the government office said that at noon tomorrow, the public execution will burn Feng Niang's body.

The reason is naturally to deal with the demons for these dead women, so that no one can find fault.

"Does that really work?" Jiang Yu asked worriedly.

"Since it's for Feng Niang's purpose to kill people, then it must be someone who has something to do with Feng Niang. He wouldn't watch Feng Niang suffer such humiliation after her death, she would definitely appear. Baozhu said.

"But..." Jiang Yu couldn't bear it, "Wouldn't this make that poor woman suffer again?" ”

Qi Junce and Baozhu looked at each other and smiled, "Sister, naturally we wouldn't dig up Feng Niang's body so cruelly, it's just a stand-in." ”

Jiang Yu breathed a long sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good." ”

The next day, close to noon, most of the people of Shenmu came, and everyone gathered at the execution ground, all wanting to see with their own eyes the appearance of the demon being burned to death.

Qi Jun Cegao sat in the hall, and Li Fuya also changed into official clothes.

In front of the execution ground, on the pile of firewood doused with fire oil, lay "Feng Niang" dressed in funeral clothes, covered with yellow paper on her face and covered with talisman paper.

Baozhu also specially found a few old Taoists, chanted scriptures around, and had to do enough to do the show.

When the sun was in the middle of the sky, Baozhu looked at the crowd below with some anxiety, and did not see any abnormal movement.

"Execution!" Li Fuya followed the procedure and issued an order.

Just as the executioner threw a lit torch at the pyre, a black figure rushed out of the crowd and kicked the torch away.

Turning around and heading towards Feng Niang, Qi Junce rushed directly when he saw this, and fought with the man.

Baozhu couldn't help but stand up, and secretly cursed that Qi Junce really couldn't sit still.

Qi Junce deliberately hid his strength, allowing the man in black to gain the upper hand, and retreated after successive defeats, and the man in black turned around and went straight to Feng Niang.

He stretched out his hand to uncover Feng Niang's full of spells, but at this moment, Feng Niang suddenly deceived the corpse, causing the crowd to scream one after another.

And before the man in black could react, a short blade stalked across his neck, and the yellow paper on Feng Niang's face fell off, it was General Ling Xiao.
