Yingchun Building

In the peony box, a man in a dark robe sat at the table with his upper body open, and two women leaned on the left and right in his arms, one of them held a wine glass in his hand, and the other held a grape in his hand.

One of the women didn't know what to say, causing the man to laugh.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the man glanced in the direction of the door, let go of the woman, and said in a deep voice, "Come in." ”

The door was pushed open from the outside, and then a man dressed as a guard walked in, and the man stepped forward and said excitedly, "Master, Fufeng has been found." ”

When the man heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Where are you now?"

"Water dungeon."

At the same time, Zhang Jing also received the news that Jiu Qingzi had appeared, and he immediately put down his official duties and rushed to Baijia Village on the outskirts of Beijing with the officials as soon as possible.

At this time, Tao Yaoyao also came to Baijia Village.

Before she came, she was thinking about how to find Xiao Shuo, after all, even if this village is not big, it will take some time to find him one by one, so on the way here, she thought of several ways to find him quickly.

But as soon as she entered the village, she found that her previous considerations were superfluous.

At this time, the road into Baijia Village has been blocked, and the villagers and the people in official uniforms have made a commotion, and the dissatisfaction of the villagers can be heard from afar.

"When we first reported the crime, there were only two dead cows in the village, and now there are only two dead of 20 cows in our entire village.

Lord Xiao, the cow is our labor, without it, how can we grow crops and live? ”

"That's it, it's still Dali Temple, and it's the first detective in Kyoto City, and I can't even solve such a small case, so I'm not ashamed."

"Lord Xiao, no matter what, you must investigate this case today, otherwise, the only two remaining cows in our village will be gone.

This looks like the beginning of spring, we don't have cattle, what about next year's spring ploughing? ”

Speaking of spring ploughing, the villagers began to frown one by one.

"Miss, let's not go over, there are so many people over there, what if it hurts you?" Qiu Gui persuaded Tao Yaoyao that if he wanted to see the excitement, he could also watch it in the carriage.

But Tao Yaoyao didn't come to see the excitement, she didn't let Xie Fei see her at the gate of Hanlin Courtyard just now, she already felt that she had gone in vain, and now she came to Baijia Village with all her efforts, she couldn't come again in vain.

At the front of the official mission stood a man dressed in a red official mansion, this person had his back to her, and I saw that he was slender, with broad shoulders and narrow waist, and a slender neck......

"Village chief, it's not good, the cow of Second Uncle Bai's family seems to be dying."

A woman ran out of the village, and she shouted as she ran.

When the people in the village heard that another cow was about to die, their faces changed drastically, and almost instantaneously, there was no trace of the villagers at the entrance of the village, which had just been noisy.

When Xiao Shuo frowned and turned around, the sword eyebrows and starry eyes, as well as his sexy Adam's apple, immediately met Tao Xiaoyao's sight.

Before, she only thought that Xie Lan was good-looking, but now she found out that there are so many good-looking people in Kyoto City.

And this person has clear eyebrows, a well-behaved posture, and a calm attitude, even if this kind of person is not a good husband, he must be a good person.

That's him.

"Second Uncle Bai, your cow was fine last night, why is it suddenly uncomfortable. You carefully recall, what it has eaten from yesterday until now. Anyone has touched it. ”

Recently, there have been so many deaths of cattle in the village, and so many visits from the government that the villagers have learned their interrogation words. Second Uncle Bai was a man in his forties, and at this time he looked at the cattle in the cowshed with a worried face.

Cattle in this era are very valuable, and whoever can have a cow in the village is a matter of glory to the ancestors.

So the place where the cattle live is not only clean, but also spacious. The cow trough was next to it, and after the man glanced at it, he sighed and scratched his hair, "What it eats is the same as before, it's no different." ”

At this time, the nose of the cow lying on the ground began to bleed, and the villagers saw this scene and said anxiously, "Its symptoms are exactly the same as before my cow died." ”

As soon as the man's voice fell, everyone looked at the cow on the ground at the same time.

"It's over, can't we keep even a cow in our village this time? Who killed a thousand knives to harm our village like this? ”

The village chief was so anxious that he knelt on the ground, and the faces of the other villagers were not much better.

"Can I show it?"

Tao Yaoyao watched from the side for a while, and roughly guessed what was going on with this cow, so he squeezed into the crowd and came to Second Uncle Bai.

Second Uncle Bai and the villagers didn't know her, and subconsciously looked at Xiao Shuo after seeing her.

Xiao Shuo glanced up at her, and then said to the village chief, "She is a famous miracle doctor in Kyoto City, maybe she can save your family's cow." ”

Miracle Doctor?

When the villagers heard this, they quickly gave her place. After Tao Yaoyao thanked Xiao Shuo with his eyes, he turned around and squatted down and began to examine the cow. By the way, he asked, "How often do you go there to graze cattle?" ”

"It's at the foot of the hill at the end of the village, and there's a lot of grass there, and people in our village like to go there to herd cattle." The village chief replied.

"When did cattle die in your village?"

"It's been almost a month." The village chief doesn't remember very clearly, "Oh, I've lived for so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a thing, in less than a month, one cow after another in the village died, and I didn't sleep well for many days." ”

The family of the dead cow also chimed in, "So are we." I want to catch the poisoner at once, and then cut him with a thousand knives. ”

After examining the cow's nose, eyes, and some acupuncture points on its mouth and body, Tao Yaoyao determined what he was thinking.

Then he tore off his purse from his waist in front of everyone, chose a red bottle among so many bottles and cans, took out a pill and stuffed it into the cow's mouth.

"Has anything strange happened in your village in the past month, such as a particularly heavy rain, or a landslide or something?"

"A month ago, there was indeed a heavy rain in our village, and there was indeed a landslide in the back mountain."

Tao Yaoyao once again proved what he thought in his heart, so he turned his head to look at Xiao Shuo, "The answer is in the dirt that washed down from the back mountain." ”

Neither the officials nor the villagers believed that they could poison cattle.

"People in our village pass by every day, but no one is fine." The village chief retorted.

Tao Yaoyao stood up and explained with a smile, "The immunity of humans and animals is different, and besides, the cow eats the grass that grows on that land, but the person just passes by, so the final result is naturally different." ”

"Don't you want to find the truth? You don't have any other good way, so why don't you come with me, I'll do an experiment for you, and you'll know. ”

Tao Yaoyao walked in the front, and when he was about to walk out of Second Uncle Bai's house, he thought of something, turned his head and looked at Xiao Shuo secretly, "Can you help me catch a mouse." ”

Xiao Shuo nodded, then turned his head and called the two officials.

There were many rats in the village, but it was not easy to catch them at once, and in the end the villagers told them where there were many rats, and the officials found two skinny rats.

"It's okay to lose weight."

Tao Yaoyao calmly caught the mouse, then put it in the cage in front of everyone, and then found some rice grains, and covered them with the juice of the weeds at the foot of the mountain.

Finally, the juice-stained rice grains were thrown into the cage. The rat didn't eat at first, but when there was no sound around, it happily ate.

The two rats had probably been hungry for a long time, and they were eating happily, and when everyone was immersed in watching the picture of the rats eating rice, the rats, which had just been jumping around and eating, suddenly fell into the cage and did not move.

The villagers were immediately taken aback.

"This ...... This grass is really poisonous. ”

"It's not grass, the doctor said that the soil is poisonous."

"How can the soil be poisonous, we have been crawling in the crops for so many years, and this is the first time we have heard of such a thing."

The people were curious and scared, after all, they would have to stay here every day in the future, and if the soil here was really poisonous, how would they eat the food they grown?

They are croppers, and if they don't grow food, they won't do anything else.

"Divine doctor, you want to save us."

Before Tao Yaoyao came, they just wanted to find out the real culprit who poisoned the cow, but now, they just want to live well.

Xiao Shuo glanced at the ground under his feet, and then thought of what Tao Yaoyao had just said, and quickly grasped the point, "Miss Tao means that there is a problem with the soil in the mountain, not the soil in the village, right?" ”

Talking to smart people is a hassle-free.

"That's right, Lord Xiao is now taking people up the mountain, where there is no grass, there will be problems with the soil."

In order to appease the villagers here, Xiao Shuo immediately took people up the mountain, Tao Yaoyao saw that it was still early and pulled Qiu Gui to go over to join in the fun, Xiao Shuo saw it, reminded her, "Although it is winter now, it is still difficult to walk in the mountains, and the girl should not come with me." ”

"If I don't follow the past, Master Xiao is afraid that I won't know why there is a problem with these soils."

Xiao Shuo was really curious about this question, and saw that she looked confident, so he didn't stop her anymore, and after an hour, the official finally found a place near the hillside where there was no grass.

"There really is such a place in the mountains, we have never paid attention to it before."

It's a remote place, and the villagers used to go up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and find firewood, and naturally they won't remember the places that they didn't need.

"But why is it that there is no grass growing here, and grass is growing at the foot of the mountain, and now that the grass is sparse in other places, but in that place it is so luxuriant that it is almost catching up with the grass in summer."
