The wind seeped through the cracks in the windows, and the figures on the ground were blown lightly.

If last night was a tacit temptation, today has become a tense confrontation.

Lu Tong looked at the person in front of him and thought to himself, this commander of the front division of the palace came faster than he imagined.

A trace of ecstasy suddenly appeared in Duan Xiaoyan's eyes, and he shouted, "My lord! ”

Pei Yunyi glanced at him: "How do you sit on the ground?" ”

The young man's handsome face turned red, and he was ashamed to speak: "I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and I still have half an hour of poisonous hair, so I don't dare to move vigorously." ”

Hearing this, Pei Yunyao raised his eyebrows, and his eyes fell on the woman who was pounding medicine in the house.

"What does Doctor Lu mean by this?"

Lu Tong's expression was calm, and he was not at all flustered because there was one more person in the room, and he was even a little indifferent in the face of Duan Xiaoyan, who was sitting on the ground.

"Master Pei, your people sneaked into the hospital late at night, rummaged in my kitchen at will, and were bitten by a poisonous snake I found to make medicine, and their bodies were highly poisonous. Is that to blame for me? ”

She mocked: "In the "Liang Dynasty Law" that I am familiar with, there is no such one. ”

Pei Yunyao glanced at Duan Xiaoyan on the ground, and Duan Xiaoyan didn't dare to speak.

After a moment of silence, he took a few steps back, simply leaned against the door with his chest crossed, and said with a smile: "What does Doctor Lu want?" ”

Straightforward and decisive, this man doesn't talk nonsense.

Lu Tong's hand froze, and he put down the medicine hammer, "I don't want to do anything." ”

"There is no cure for this poison, and even if there is, there will be no antidote in such a short period of time."

Duan Xiaoyan's face turned pale.

She looked at Pei Yunyao again, and there was a bit of sarcasm in her eyes: "It's just a subordinate, if you die, you will die, why is the palace marshal like this?" ”

Duan Xiaoyan's forehead was beating faintly.

What do you mean by "subordinate"? What do you mean by "dead and dead"?

What healer can say such cold words?

In vain, he used to think that Lu Tong was a female Bodhisattva, and he would go to the temple tomorrow to apologize to the female Bodhisattva!

The house was silent, only the night breeze blew the flames and made a shallow light shadow, and under the fireflies hanging in the courtyard, the wind chimes were blown, and the Qingyue bell rang faintly.

Pei Yunyi stared at her, and suddenly hooked his lips.

He said, "Red Arrow." ”

As soon as the words fell, a man who looked like a guard quietly appeared in the kitchen door, and in front of this guard, a young woman's hands were cut back, and her eyes looking at Lu Tong were faintly frightened.

Lu Tong's complexion changed slightly.

She had clearly asked Yinzheng to hide outside the hospital......

The young man sighed, took a chair, walked over and sat down opposite Lu Tong, his smile shining brightly in the light.

He said: "Doctor Lu is thoughtful for the servant, but it's a pity that your handmaid is too loyal and worried about you, so she will turn back halfway." ”

He stared at Lu Tong with interest: "Now, Doctor Lu still wants to say, it's just a subordinate, is it dead if he dies?" ”

Lu Tong's eyes were slightly gloomy.

Many people in Shengjing call her "Doctor Lu".

Du Changqing called casually, Ah Cheng called him admirable, and Hu Yuanwai and other neighbors called him cordial and cautious, which was the respect that was born of her as a real healer.

But no one screamed as teasing as Pei Yunyi.

His smiling black eyes, contemptuous tone, and casual posture seemed to clearly show that he had already seen clearly that she was not a benevolent and benevolent "doctor" at all.

There was a regretful voice from the silver kite in front of the door: "I'm sorry, girl, I ......."

Lu Tong looked directly at Pei Yunyi: "What do you want to do?" ”

Without waiting for Pei Yunyi to answer, Duan Xiaoyan spoke first: "What else can I do, Doctor Lu, you give me the antidote, my family will release your maid, everyone is happy, the best of both worlds, and the well water will not interfere with the river water in the future." ”

That sounds like a good deal, one for the other, and it's fair.

Lu Tong was silent and raised his head: "What if I say that there is no antidote?" ”

Duan Xiaoyan was stunned.

No cure?

How can it be!

He instinctively felt that this was nonsense, but he suddenly couldn't make up his mind about Shanglu Hitomi's indifferent expression, and he couldn't help but get nervous.

"Doctor Lu, you ...... You don't laugh. ”

He completely relaxed after Pei Yunyi appeared, just because he felt that Lu Tong said that he was scaring himself, she wouldn't really watch him die, right?

Is his death any good for Lu Tong!

Yinzheng looked at Lu Tong Yin Yin and said: "Girl, leave me alone, don't let me be a drag on you." The fortune teller used to say that my life was thin, and I didn't live more than nineteen, and before I died, I changed to a palace guard, which was also worth it. ”

Duan Xiaoyan was anxious when he heard this: "It's not worth it, it's not worth it, I'm not worth it!" Sister, you think about it again! ”

"What's not worth it, people live for a lifetime, and when they die, they will be buried, girl, we will be sisters in the next life."

As soon as the two of them broke up, the tense atmosphere just now eased a little, and in this conversation that couldn't be laughed or cried, Lu Tong spoke.

She said: "Today, Duan Xiaogongzi died here, Master Pei avenged him and killed my maidservant." I don't want to let go of me tomorrow, let alone Renxin Medical Center. ”

"After all, Master Pei is the Son of Heaven Guard, and his status is noble, so it is easy to attack ordinary people like us."

"Horizontal and vertical can't escape a ...... death"

She raised her eyes and stared at the person opposite.

"Then let's not get out of this door today, let's die together."

As soon as these words came out, not only Duan Xiaoyan, but even the red arrow at the door was shocked.

Even if you don't agree with each other, you will end up together?

What is this road number?

Lu Tong raised his chin and spoke calmly in the shocked gaze.

"The hospital is full of medicines, and the hospital is full of medicines and poisons, which is easy to come to, but not necessarily easy to go. It is also common for someone to break in rashly and accidentally step on some poisonous hair. ”

She looked at Pei Yunyao: "Yes, Master Pei?" ”

No one spoke.

On the autumn night, the tears and candles are shaking, and the dim lights in the room are sultry.

Pei Yunyi looked at her, his deep eyes were as black as a stone, and he suddenly chuckled.

"You want to die with me?"

He smiled and said: "That's not good, I only do it with my wife, I only do it with my wife." ”

This was said lightly, but he had a serious look, with a smile in his eyebrows, as if he was not a commander with ill intentions and hidden needles in the cotton, but a merry man chasing joy and laughter under the shade of candles and flowers.

Lu Tong was silent for a moment and spoke: "Do you have a wife?" ”

Pei Yunyi was slightly stunned.

Duan Xiaoyan was also stunned for a moment. What does this mean? Why did Lu Tong suddenly ask this? Could it be that Lu Tong wants to exchange Pei Yunyi's position as the princess for his antidote?

There was silence.

Pei Yunyi said: "No." ”

Lu Tong nodded: "That's right, if you die today, you don't have to think about your wife's affairs, and you can still save a dowry in the house." ”

She spoke in such a nonchaliant tone that no one in the room could tell whether she was serious or joking.

The wind was rumbling outside the window, Pei Yunyao looked at her quietly, and suddenly sighed.

"Thank you for being thoughtful for me, but it's not yet to the point of talking about life and death."

"Doctor Lu, why don't you talk about it."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Duan Xiaoyan glanced at the omission on the case, "Don't be so excited, if you have something to say, you can discuss anything." ”

After a moment of silence, Lu Tong asked, "What do you want to talk about?" ”

The lights were silent, the dim candle color shrouded the person opposite, the eagle pattern embroidered with silver silk thread on his wrist guard shone with a fine cold light, beautiful and dangerous, the young man's eyebrows and eyes were confused, but the words were cold.

"The male corpse found in Wangchun Mountain last night is Liu Kun, the owner of Liu's noodle restaurant on Shengjing Queer Street."

"Coincidentally, Liu Kun's youngest son happened to participate in this year's tribute ceremony, and he was imprisoned for being involved in a fraud case."

"Doctor Lu," he asked Lu Tong, "do you know Liu Kun?" ”

"I don't know."

"But before that, you had been to Liu Kee Noodle Restaurant for dinner." He laughed, "Don't remember?" ”

Lu Tong's heart moved.

This man moves so fast.

She went to contact the Liu family, the Fan family, and even Qi Chuan, but she didn't do it deliberately, because she didn't want to be discovered. But Pei Yunyi still found out.

He is obviously a person from the front division of the palace, but his means are better than the people of the imperial city division.

She raised her eyes and looked directly into Pei Yunyao's eyes, her eyes like water with a hint of ridicule.

"Master Pei," she said word by word, "Are you all so meticulous in investigating the case?" Since I have been investigated for so long, but I have not taken action for a long time, and now the tribute case is also settled, and all the criminals of the Ministry of Rites have been dismissed. ”

"Want to borrow my hand to kill? Shouldn't you ...... Thank me? ”

In an instant, the air in the room was cold.

In the flickering lamp on the table, the spikes of the lamp bear tiny star flowers, and a small star flower is blown down by the wind, and the embers disappear in an instant under the night wind.

No one in the room spoke, and everyone was silent.

Pei Yunyi sat opposite Lu Tong, his extremely black and bright eyes and smile gradually faded, and the murderous intent was permeated in an instant.

He leaned over slowly, staring into Lu Tong's eyes.

"Doctor Lu, who are you doing things for?"

Unmoved, she smiled slightly, met his gaze defiantly, and spat out two words.

"Guess."

Pei Yun's eyes moved slightly, and he looked at the person in front of him fixedly.

The light burned to the roots, and it became fainter and fainter.

And in the hazy light, her eyes were bright, weak and weak, like the white fog of the late autumn morning, only the wind blew the sun, and dissipated into smoke in an instant.

When I saw her yesterday, she looked pale and weak, but today she seemed to have a light rouge on her face. That little bit of red like a plum branch makes her look a little more delicate, and that delicate is also hidden in coldness.

Such a scheming and ruthless woman, who is inconsistent and has ulterior motives, is a female bodhisattva in the eyes of the world who hangs a pot to help the world and is full of spring in the apricot forest.

He sneered, a stinging smile.

He said, "Doctor Lu, this is your confidence?" ”

"The palace marshal might as well try."

There was silence in the room for a long time.

Duan Xiaoyan looked at the woman at the table in disbelief and muttered, "You are crazy, dare to threaten adults like this?" ”

With such a blatant threat, she didn't even cover it up, so she wasn't afraid of getting into trouble later?

Lu Tong lowered his head and smiled, and said indifferently: "Yes, I'm a madman, so don't provoke me at will." ”

She looked at Pei Yunyao, and her voice was very soft: "Besides, haven't you already received benefits now?" ”

Pei Yunyao's pupils shrank slightly.

"Master Pei," Lu Tong said slowly, "You investigate your case, I practice my medicine, and we have nothing to do with each other." ”

"Irrelevant?"

He nodded and looked at her thoughtfully: "It turns out that this is what Doctor Lu wants to say today." ”

Lu Tong looked at him calmly.

The night is very deep, there is no longer a cold whisper in the courtyard, and in the shadowy dusk, the two look at each other, and their eyes meet, like the night of Shengjing, with the ups and downs of the undercurrent.

Suddenly, he leaned back and pulled the corners of his lips: "I'll think about it." ”

He said "consider".

Lu Tong's heart sank, and before he could speak, he saw Pei Yunyi turning his head sideways and said to the guard at the door: "Release people." ”

As soon as the guard called the red arrow let go, Yinzheng hurriedly ran over, ran to Lu Tong at once, and looked at the people in the house vigilantly.

Duan Xiaoyan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly reacted, sweating on his forehead in a hurry, and wailed: "My lord, why did you let her go?" I haven't gotten the antidote yet! ”

Pei Yunyao glanced at him: "Stupid, that's just a black snake." ”

"Black snake?" Duan Xiaoyan looked at the dead snake on the case, and was dazed for a moment, "Isn't it seven steps away?" ”

Lu Tong's gaze fell on Duan Xiaoyan, and the corners of his lips curled.

She said: "Qibu is a poisonous snake, a medical hall pharmacy, saving people and curing diseases, how can they secretly store highly poisonous things." Besides, Duan Xiaogongzi is the person in front of the palace, and he plots to kill the guards of the Son of Heaven, unless he dies. ”

She returned what Duan Xiaoyan said earlier, and at the end, she looked at the other party with a sincere expression, "I was joking with Duan Xiaogongzi just now, Duan Xiaogongzi won't take it seriously, right?" ”

Duan Xiaoyan: "......"

It turned out to be fake?

But the look and tone of her voice just now didn't look like a joke at all.

Pei Yunyi lowered his head and smiled, and stood up.

He said: "I'm bothering Dr. Lu tonight, I'll let Duan Xiaoyan come to the door another day, and I'll compensate Dr. Lu." Glancing at Duan Xiaoyan again, "Still not up yet?" ”

Duan Xiaoyan was dumbfounded for a moment, got up from the ground, rubbed his forearm to keep up, and stopped talking when he left, looking full of grievances.

As soon as a few people left the hospital, they suddenly heard someone behind them shouting: "Wait." ”

Pei Yun paused, turned around, and saw Lu Tong walking out of the shop with a lantern.

The woman walked to the door of the medical hall with a soft dead snake in her hand, and shook it at Duan Xiaoyan, who was still palpitating, and subconsciously took a step back.

Lu Tong said: "Duan Xiaogongzi, although it is not seven steps away, but this black snake also cost me two taels of silver." If you have fallen to its death, you should pay me money. ”

Duan Xiaoyan: "......"

He was bitten, he was so frightened that in the end, he had to pay the money. Why did you never find out that Renxin Medical Center had the potential to be a black store in the past?

However, Lu Tong stood in front of him like this, after tonight's experience, when Duan Xiaoyan looked at this female bodhisattva again, he instinctively felt a little stunned, so he had to honestly take out the silver taels from his arms and hand them to Lu Tong with both hands.

Lu Tong took the silver and handed it to Duan Xiaoyan Dead Snake, Duan Xiaoyan didn't dare to take it, so she hung the snake corpse on Pei Yunyan's arm and said lightly: "The snake belongs to you." ”

After that, I didn't say anything more, and slammed the door of the medical hall in front of them.

The long street is silent, and the branches of the trees along the street cast jagged shadows in the glow of the lanterns.

The young man looked at the closed door in front of him, his eyes uncertain.

After a long time, Duan Xiaoyan on his side swallowed his saliva and said cautiously: "Brother, she is so arrogant." ”

Obviously she is just a doctor in a medical hall, and she is weak and lovely, but her momentum tonight is not short, looking at her aggressive appearance, it is strange and scary.

He saw Pei Yunyi's cold gaze sweeping over, and hurriedly coughed lightly: "I know, I was wrong today, don't worry, I'll be punished myself when I go back." But ......" he approached Pei Yunyi and asked in a low voice: "You couldn't find out her identity after checking for a long time, and you just tested her, she admitted that she had someone behind her?" ”

Pei Yunyi had asked Mulian to check Lu Tong's identity before, but the yellow book that could prove her identity was fake, and the refugees from Beijing often went to the carpenter who carved the seal in the Dongmen Bridge Cave to make a fake yellow book. Such a shoddy yellow book only costs 100 wen a piece.

For example, Du Changqing has entered a medical center, and the doctor Huang Ji will carefully check it, and the owner of the Renxin Medical Center may not have seen it. Lu Tong practiced medicine in the medical hall with a fake yellow book, it can only be said that she is bold, Du Changqing is more daring than her, such a pair of strange pairs, but Mu Lian can't find any clues that can prove Lu Tong's identity.

She is like a person who appeared in Shengjing out of thin air.

Duan Xiaoyan lowered his voice: "Who do you think the person behind her will be?" The Three Princes? ”

In this tribute case, the Ministry of Rites is the most involved, the prince has been anxious recently, and the three princes are refreshed. If the third prince sent Lu Tong to secretly do something, it was not impossible.

Pei Yunyi didn't speak, as if he was pondering.

Duan Xiaoyan looked at the faintly painful wound on his forearm, and sighed again: "She tossed me for one night in vain, she was simply deliberately angry. Brother, you said that if she is really the person of the third prince, she is so vindictive, what should she do if she turns around and sues the third prince and troubles us? ”

Pei Yunyan came back to his senses, sneered, and raised his hand, and the dead snake fell into Duan Xiaoyan's arms, startling Duan Xiaoyan.

He turned, his voice cold.

"If she is really the person of the third prince, she will be taken to Zhaojiao Temple to be tortured and served, perhaps, she is willing to talk about it."

……

In the house, Lu Tong put the lantern on the ground and sat down in the house.

After the person left, Shicai felt as if she had unloaded a thousand catties of heavy burden, she spread out her palms, and her palms were wet.

Yinzheng blamed himself: "Girl, it's all my fault, if I hadn't turned back at that time, you wouldn't have been threatened by them." ”

Lu Tong shook his head: "It's okay, he didn't want to do anything to us." ”

Yin Zheng was stunned: "Why?" ”

Lu Tong smiled lightly: "You don't really think that he won't come to arrest me because he can't find evidence, right?" ”

"Isn't it?"

"Of course not."

Lu Tong said calmly, "Sheng Jing is deep, what kind of good person do you think he is." ”

Pei Yunyi had suspected her a long time ago, at least after Ke Chengxing's death, and since then, he has repeatedly tried to use tricks, including Duan Xiaoyan's stalking at the gate of Fan's mansion, which is the means of this commander.

In fact, as the commander of the front division of the palace and the prince of Zhaoning, if he really suspects a person, he doesn't need any evidence, and he can make her suffer some hardships in other ways.

But he didn't.

Lu Tong thought about it for a long time, and had a faint guess in his heart.

Perhaps, he was afraid of someone.

Just like Liu Kun has Fan Zhenglian behind him, and Fan Zhenglian is behind him and the Taishi Mansion, people in the officialdom always take care of each other, maybe the little people caught today will become distant relatives of the big people tomorrow.

Pei Yunyi's delay in not doing anything to her at least shows that in the tribute case, there is no harm to his interests, and he may be happy to see it.

It was an accident for Duan Xiaoyan to appear today, but the negotiation with Pei Yunyi was done by her on purpose. He was testing her, and she was testing him.

Pei Yunyao's reaction told her that she had made the right bet, and he was indeed suspicious that there was someone behind her.

Since this is the case, she followed Pei Yunyi's guess, disturbed his line of sight, and let that unwarranted "big man" become her false talisman.

Yinzheng handed over the handkerchief, Lu Tong took it, and wiped the sweat from his palm.

The other party looks bright and laughs, but in fact it is sharp and dangerous, and confronting him, she must be in her chest, unfathomable, not cowardly, not let the other party see her hole cards.

It's all camouflage.

Yinzheng asked, "Will that Pei Dianshuai come again in the future?" ”

Lu Tong shook his head: "Not for the time being." He thinks I have a backer and wants to take advantage of me, so he won't do anything to me for a short time. But ......"

But if you want to use her, it also depends on whether Pei Yunyi has this ability.

When Yinzheng heard this, he was even more worried, "But the paper can't hold the fire, what if he finds that there is no one behind the girl?" He has an official position, wouldn't it be easy to find a reason? ”

Lu Tong wiped his hands for a moment.

After a moment, she said, "What are you afraid of?" ”

"If that day comes, he will stand in my way......"

"I'll kill him."
