The residual chill of the wind and snow has not yet faded from the body, and in the light of the beating fire of the oil lamp, the facial features of the person who came are clearly illuminated.

Yinzheng was surprised and said, "Master Pei? ”

Lu Tong paused, her tense body gradually relaxed, the person behind her let go of the hand holding her, Lu Tong turned around and looked at the person in front of her.

It turned out to be Pei Yunyao.

In the narrow medical hall, he wore a black arrow suit, almost blending in with the darkness, and his expression was generous and calm, as if it was someone else who did such a thing as breaking into a private house at night.

There was a trace of extremely light bloody aura coming from the person in front of him.

Pei Yunyi glanced at the flower hairpin in Lu Tong's hand, his eyes moved, and joked: "Fortunately, I move fast, this will not be poisonous, right?" ”

Lu Tong withdrew the hairpin into his sleeve and said calmly: "What is the palace marshal doing?" ”

Running to the hospital in the middle of the night to knock on the door, and wearing such an outfit, it's really hard not to think about it.

"It's a bit of a hassle." Pei Yunyi sighed, "I want to borrow you here for a while." ”

His tone was too natural, as if he and Lu Tong had been friends for many years, and he didn't hesitate to make such a request, which made Yinzheng's eyes widen slightly.

"Not good."

Lu Tong said lightly: "I am not related to the palace marshal, if I help the palace marshal, I will offend others, those mad dogs in Sheng Jing are very difficult to entangle, I never ask for trouble." ”

Pei Yunyi's eyes were slightly stunned.

Isn't this familiar word his own words when Qi Yutai came to the door and Lu Tong asked him to help solve the siege in Yuxian Tower before?

Lu Tong has now returned his original words.

Pei Yunyao lowered his head and smiled: "Doctor Lu is really retribution." ”

"Thanks for the compliment."

He nodded, "What you say makes sense, but if I am found here, it will not be good for you." ”

Lu Tong raised his eyes.

He smiled brightly, and there was no awareness of facing danger on his face, and he spoke leisurely: "In case others think that you and I are in a group, in this case, Dr. Lu will also be involved." ”

"I don't care," he shrugged his shoulders senselessly, "but if Dr. Lu is held accountable, check and find out what secrets...... Wouldn't it be troublesome to delay what you have to do? ”

Lu Tong looked at him coldly.

He didn't seem to care.

This man did not know what he was trying to do, nor did he know who he had offended. But now she wants to enter the palace, if Pei Yunyi is really discovered here, it will affect her, and all the previous plans will come to naught.

Pei Yunyi is sure that he will have no fear.

The oil of the lamp gradually faded, and the wick of the candle in the oil lamp shook, blurring the expressions of everyone in the room.

After a while, Lu Tong turned around and said coldly: "Follow me." ”

……

The wind and snow were heavier outside.

The ground of the small courtyard was covered with a layer of silver white, and the faint light from the row of orange lamps under the eaves of the window made the snow drift from the sky.

As soon as Lu Tong came out of the small kitchen, there was a violent knock on the door outside the medical hall.

Yin Zheng stood in the courtyard with an oil lamp, looking nervously at Lu Tong.

Lu Tong was silent, took the oil lamp, lifted the felt curtain and walked towards the door of the medical hall.

"Bang bang bang-"

The sound of banging on the door was urgent, and it was extremely harsh in the dark winter night, and as soon as Lu Tong pushed the door open, the bright torches suddenly lit up the long street in front of the door.

At the entrance of the medical hall, a group of soldiers patrolling the shop house stood in the shop, and they pushed the door violently, and all of them poured into the medical hall.

Yinzheng said "hey", and before he could speak, a group of shop soldiers rushed into the hospital like wolves, rummaging around.

"Who?" Silver Kite called.

The leader of the shop took a step inside, saw Lu Tong's face clearly in the dim light, was stunned for a moment, and then shouted: "Doctor Lu? ”

Lu Tong looked at this person and bowed slightly: "Lord Shen." ”

This person is actually Shen Fengying of the military patrol shop.

Shen Fengying seemed to have just reacted, took two steps back and looked at the plaque on the door of the medical hall, and slapped his thigh: "I didn't see you here!" He turned to beckoned to the people behind him, "All light, don't smash people and things!" He looked at Lu Tong again, "I'm sorry Doctor Lu, I'm going to bother you again." ”

"It doesn't matter." Lu Tong asked, "However, what is Lord Shen doing?" Won't you receive another complaint about the murder and burial of corpses at the Renxin Hospital? ”

This group of soldiers rushed in with great momentum, but when it came to the battle of men and horses, it was even better than the last time.

Hearing this, he seemed to remember the misunderstanding he had when he broke into the hospital at night before, and Shen Fengying showed a little embarrassment on his face.

Shen Fengying coughed lightly: "That's not true, there are assassins in the palace who have escaped tonight, and people are being searched all over the city." We were also called to patrol the shop. ”

He walked to the infirmary with a torch and asked Lu Tong, "Doctor Lu didn't see any suspicious people here?" ”

"Nope."

"That's weird." Shen Fengying groaned, "Just now we chased the assassin over, and it seems that we saw a figure at the door of your medical hall. ”

Yinzheng's eyes trembled.

Lu Tong said lightly: "Really? I didn't see anyone, there is a snowman piled by Acheng at the entrance of the medical hall, maybe the adults are looking at the snowman. ”

Shen Fengying nodded: "Maybe." Having said that, the action of calling the shop soldiers to search did not relax at all, and Shen Fengying himself also carried a knife into the inner shop and patrolled around.

It was very cold in the courtyard, and red gauze lanterns hung on the branches of the plum trees, illuminating the ground with a reddish glow of snow.

The silver kite wrung the handkerchief in his hand and glanced at the small kitchen with some uneasiness.

This gaze was immediately captured by Shin Bong-ying.

He said alarmedly, "What's over there?" ”

Lu Tong replied: "It's the kitchen." ”

Shen Fengying glanced at Lu Tong, raised his hand, and beckoned a few soldiers behind him: "Search the kitchen carefully!" ”

Yinzheng's complexion changed.

Lu Tong's hand holding the oil lamp trembled.

The soldiers were ordered, and a swarm of people rushed into the kitchen, which was still spacious, and suddenly squeezed the relatively spacious kitchen. Shen Fengying walked in quickly.

The kitchen was so simple that it could even be called shabby, with stucco rammed walls, earthen pots and earthen stoves, some leftovers and melons on the stone table, and some eggs and sweet potatoes in the grass basket under the stove. The fire had been extinguished, and only scattered ashes were scattered on the ground.

Shen Fengying cautiously walked a few steps inside, didn't see anything suspicious, and was about to leave, when his gaze suddenly froze.

In the corner of the kitchen, a thick stack of haystacks is stacked.

Ordinary people save firewood, and it is common to pile haystacks at home. However, there are no domestic animals in the Renxin Medical Center, and if it is used for cooking on the fire, it is easy to get off fire by piling haystacks in the kitchen, and there is obviously a vacant room in the courtyard.

Moreover, the haystack is so big.

A thick layer is stacked in the corner, like a hill, and if a thief sneaks in, it should be difficult to detect it.

Shen Fengying's eyes flashed, he walked to the haystack, and suddenly drew his knife and waved!

In an instant, there was a "bang-la-" sound.

The haystack was like a mountain of earth that had been chopped up, crumbling and disintegrating in an instant, and the dark corner of the grass gradually emerged from the grass residue that slowly slid down.

"It's ......"

Shen Fengying's face changed in an instant.

It is as if a treasure buried deep in the ground has been lifted from the thick earth, revealing the secret of the light of day.

Under those thick haystacks, there were several half-human-high pitch-black porcelain jars.

The porcelain jar is so large that it can accommodate one person to hide in. , like a few abruptly rising black mounds, strange and abnormal.

Shen Fengying remembered clearly that when he came back to Renxin Medical Center to search, there were no such big black porcelain jars in the kitchen.

He swallowed and said in a cold tone: "Doctor Lu, what is this?" ”

"It's some medicinal herbs that are used in medicine on weekdays." Lu Tong replied.

As soon as the words fell, a soft sound suddenly came from the black porcelain jar. The movement was not loud, but in the silence of the night, it was clearly heard in everyone's ears.

The face of the nearest shopkeeper changed: "My lord! There's something in there. ”

Shen Fengying narrowed his eyes and subconsciously looked at Lu Tong.

Lu Tong stood at the door of the kitchen, a position not far away. The oil lamp in his hand was blown by the cold wind as if it was going to be extinguished in the next moment, so his vision was blurred.

Shen Fengying's face gradually became solemn, he pulled out the saber at his waist, motioned to the surrounding soldiers to retreat, and walked to the porcelain jar himself, the torch shining on him, and also shining clearly on the beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

There was silence all around.

Shen Fengying slowly approached the porcelain jar, holding the lid of the porcelain jar with one hand, and holding the knife horizontally in front of him with the other, and slammed it-

"Hiss-"

There was a rustling sound from the porcelain jar, accompanied by the exclamations of the surrounding soldiers, Shen Fengying looked at the things in the porcelain jar in a daze, and for a long time, he turned to Lu Tong in some shock: "This, this is ...... Snake? ”

In this porcelain jar, there are dozens of long black snakes!

The scales of the long snake were jet-black and damp and cold, intertwined in a ball and made a light grinding sound, and Shen Fengying only glanced at it and quickly closed the lid.

"Doctor Lu, why do you put snakes in this tank?"

These poisons are eerie and terrifying, all intertwined, squirming, and strange to hear.

Lu Tong approached with an oil lamp, and his tone was flat: "The medicine in the medical hall sometimes needs fresh snake molt and snake blood, which is collected from the snake catcher for money, and it is the medicinal material of the medicine. ”

Shen Fengying pointed to several other porcelain jars: "These are too?" ”

Lu Tong handed the oil lamp to Yinzheng, walked to the other porcelain jars, lifted the lid, and asked Shen Fengying to take a closer look.

The other porcelain jars are scorpions, centipedes, and toads.

Shen Fengying stared at Lu Tong for a long time before he spoke: "Doctor Lu, are you going to refine Gu?" ”

He felt flustered and short of breath when a man saw these things, and a weak woman with a weak expression on his lips was unwavering, as if he was happy to deal with these things.

If it weren't for his familiarity with West Street, Shen Fengying would have suspected that he had entered the medical hall of the underworld.

"Lord Shen doesn't know that medicine has seven emotions, the lonely, the needy, the messenger, the evildoer, the opposite, and the killer."

"Those who kill each other restrain each other's toxicity, and these poisons are also a good way to save lives."

Shen Fengying heard it in a fog, and then glanced at the kitchen, except for a few porcelain jars, there was nothing suspicious, so he beckoned the soldiers behind him to exit first.

The soldiers left the kitchen with Shen Fengying and walked to the small courtyard, where the wind was in full swing outside, and pieces of snow fell on people.

Shen Fengying passed by the plum tree in the small courtyard, and thought that it was the same when he came back, and turned the medical hall upside down with great momentum, but in the end he found nothing, and he felt a little weak for no reason, and a little ashamed.

It stands to reason that he doesn't have any ill feelings towards Lu Tong.

Last time, this Doctor Lu and Pei Yunyao, the commander of the front division of the palace, teamed up to stage a good show in front of the military patrol shop, in order to drag the Wenjun Mansion into the water. Later, Shen Fengying also knew about it, Pei Yunyao's sister, Princess Wenjun, left the palace smoothly and moved out of the Wenjun Palace, and the side concubine who hired a murderer fell into bad luck with the lady in the palace.

Shen Feng should know that he was targeted by Pei Yunyao, and he was also ready to offend King Wenjun and get out of the army sooner or later. After this incident, his boss personally talked to him, greeted him with a warm greeting, and reasoned that he was in a dilemma about this matter, but he handled it very well and would not be promoted in the future.

It is not known whether this cake can be painted to satisfy hunger, but at least Shen Fengying's heart is temporarily relaxed.

He also understood that it must have been Pei Yunyao who had greeted the army patrol shop here, so as not to make it difficult for him to be troubled by King Wenjun afterwards.

Shen Fengying's disgust towards Pei Yunyi dissipated a lot.

If it weren't for the order of the city guard tonight, he wouldn't have come to trouble Lu Tong in the middle of the night.

Just thinking about it, Lu Tong, who was walking in front, paused and coughed twice.

Shen Bong responded to a spirit and hurriedly looked at her.

Because she was in a hurry to open the door at night, Lu Tong only put on a thin coat, wearing a plain white middle coat, the hairpin had been removed, and her long black hair hung down to her chest, she was born very thin, innocent and ignorant, standing in the light under the wind and snow, like a snow-white magnolia blooming in the wind, weak and cold in winter.

The beauty was sick and weak, and immediately taught Shen Fengying to have a trace of pity and self-blame, and hurriedly spoke: "Disturbing Dr. Lu rashly tonight, it's really not Shen." ”

"There's nothing wrong with this head, I'm sorry, Dr. Lu hurried back to the house to rest." He raised his hand and beckoned his subordinates: "Let's go!" ”

This group of soldiers left in a hurry as when they came. Leave messy footprints on the snow in the small courtyard.

Lu Tong tightened his coat, watched the last soldier leave the hospital with a lamp, and waited at the door of the hospital for a long time, until there was no movement outside, and then returned to the small courtyard with the oil lamp.

Yinzheng stood at the door of the dormitory, looked inside, and looked at Lu Tong worriedly: "Girl......"

"It's okay, you go to the bunk and keep guard, be careful that someone comes."

After hesitating, worried that the outsiders would turn back, the silver kite left with the lantern.

In the gap between the stained windows at the door of the dormitory, the orange lights are faintly bright.

Wind and snow and charcoal furnace, cold and warm, separated by a door, like two worlds.

Lu Tong stood at the door for a moment, pushed the door and walked in.

As soon as I entered the house, a warm breeze blew in my face.

There was a stove in the corner of the house, the flower window was ajar and unclosed, and the jagged plum branches were framed in the window scene, standing still in the cold wind.

In the boudoir, Pei Yunyao turned his back to Lu Tong and was standing in front of the small Buddha cupboard.

Lu Tong entered the house and closed the door, looked at his back and said, "Master Pei, the person has already left." ”

Pei Yunyao turned around.

The incense candles were lit in front of the small Buddha cupboard, the candles in the room were dim and the candles were swaying, he was dressed in black, his eyebrows and eyes were handsome, like a spirit that suddenly appeared in front of the Guanyin seat in the snowy night, uninvited, presumptuous and dangerous.

Seeing Lu Tong's view, he smiled and spoke, his tone a little ridiculous.

"It's so easy to be deceived by you, no wonder Shengjing's security is getting worse and worse."
