In Lingxiao Guan, Wu Haowei was very excited to hear that the master said that he wanted to teach him other things, and rushed back to his room two or three times before packing his luggage.

However, Lin Xingyi took the lead, and Lin Qingchen took Wu Haowei and his second disciple Li Qingze to embark on the road to Qiucheng.

Lingxiao Temple originally belonged to the territory of Yangzhou, not far from Qiucheng, the main city of Yangzhou.

Several people hurried on the road, and arrived at the gate of Qiu City in the early days.

At this time, all the people who entered the city had to be carefully checked, so several people dismounted and changed to walking.

After the people in front of them were checked, it was Lin Qingchen's turn and the guards stopped them with spears.

One of them stepped forward and asked, "What are you guys doing in the city?"

Lin Xingyi didn't answer, he directly took out a Wen Die from his arms and handed it over.

The guard who asked opened it and saw that it was the official Wen Die, and he immediately closed Wen Die's hands and returned it to Lin Xingyi.

He clasped his fists and saluted and said, "Your Excellency forgives your sins, and it is your duty to be an official." ”

Lin Xingyi replied lightly: "It's okay, let me go." ”

The guards hurriedly let their companions go, and a few of them entered Qiu City, where it was already dusk and there were no people on the streets of Qiu City.

The sky was getting dark, Lin Xingyi directly took Lin Qingchen and the three of them to his cousin Lin Zihao's mansion, and Lin Xingyi led a few people to ride horses and gallop on the street.

After walking two streets to the Lin Mansion, Lin Zihao's mansion as the deputy of the Yangzhou Governor was naturally magnificent.

Two stone lions in front of the door to drive away evil spirits and bless the descendants, there is no carved pattern on the door plaque, just polished smooth, and there are two big characters written on it.

Lin Xingyi turned over and dismounted, walked to the gate and stretched out his hand to hold the ring, "knock, knock, knock" knocked on the gate three times, and then put down the ring.

The voice came into the mansion, "crunch," and one person opened the door, and the man in cloth was a member of the Lin Mansion.

He saw Lin Xingyi at a glance, quickly pushed the door open, and then said with both hands: "The villain has seen Lord Lin, my family has been waiting for a long time, Lord Lin, please." ”

Lin Xingyi said: "I'll go to see Lord Tongju later, you bring me to settle down first." ”

So he called another person and led Lin Qingchen's horses in, and he took Wu Haowei and Li Qingze to put the luggage in the guest room.

Lin Xingyi took Lin Qingchen to see his cousin Lin Zihao, Lin Xingyi was obviously familiar with the road here, and took Lin Qingchen to a small study with a left and right turn.

Lin Xingyi knocked on the door, and a deep and majestic voice came from inside and said, "Come in." ”

Lin Xingyi pushed open the door and walked in with Lin Qingchen, Lin Zihao was reading the official document in the house, and after the two came in, Lin Zihao put down the official document in his hand and stood up.

Lin Xingyi closed the door and saluted Lin Zihao and said, "Lord Tongju, I brought Lin Qingchen." ”

"Qingchen, we haven't seen each other in decades. Lin Zihao said and walked over, pointed to the chair on the side with a wave of his right hand and said, "Please take a seat." ”

Lin Qingchen looked at the man in front of him, with a tall face and figure, a bun on his head, and a trace of white hair on his temples.

Although he was smiling at the moment, he didn't give people a sense of approach, and in the direction of Lin Zihao's right hand, there were four chairs and a coffee table in the center of the room.

But Lin Qingchen didn't want to talk to him more, so he said: "I'm here to save people, let's go see the patient first." ”

After not seeing Lin Zihao for a long time, he planned to chat with him and close the distance, but Lin Qingchen was so refreshing, he didn't need to say much.

He put away his right hand and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll take you to Governor Zhang's mansion." ”

Lin Zihao took Lin Xingyi and Lin Qingchen out on foot, Lin Qingchen asked Wu Haowei and Li Qingze to rest in the room first, and he went alone.

The three of them walked for a quarter of an hour and arrived in front of the gate of Zhang's Mansion, and at this moment, Zhang's Mansion was like the city gate, with soldiers patrolling outside the gate in groups of three.

They were all fully armed, holding spears and long swords hanging from their waists, and Lin Zihao naturally had no one to stop them when they walked away.

These are all defenders of Qiu City, and Lin Zihao is also guarded by two tall soldiers by the door.

Seeing Lin Zihao, he respectfully shouted to his lord, and opened the door to let them in.

A few people entered the courtyard, the guards slowly closed the door, it was already dark, lanterns were hung on the eaves, and stone candles were lit in the courtyard.

There are also soldiers guarding all corners of the courtyard, Lin Zihao walked in front and said: "Since Governor Zhang's illness has been in the house, many defenders have been transferred to the mansion in case of accidents. ”

Although there were many soldiers, Lin Zihao took the lead and was unimpeded, and after passing the three gates with the two of them, Lin Zihao stopped.

He said: "In front is the bedroom of Governor Zhang's mansion. ”

There were two soldiers standing guard at the door of the room in front of him, and an old man was waiting by the door, and when he saw Lin Zihao, he walked over.

The old man was the steward of Zhang's mansion, and he had been guarding outside the door, and the old man bowed with both hands and said, "Lord Tongju, you are here." ”

Lin Zihao hurriedly helped the old man up and said, "Uncle Chen, you go and say that Zihao has brought a master to treat the prefect." ”

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll go. ”

Hearing his words, Uncle Chen's tired eyes lit up with excitement, he glanced at Lin Xingyi and Lin Qingchen behind Lin Zihao, and then turned around and walked into the house.

In the blink of an eye, a woman's voice came from the room and said, "Zihao, come in directly." ”

When Lin Zihao heard the voice, he directly took Lin Xingyi and Lin Qingchen to push the door and walked in, and as soon as he entered the door, he was greeted by an ink-colored landscape screen, which covered the bedroom inside.

Behind the screen, that was where Governor Zhang's mansion rested, and after a few people entered the house, Uncle Chen went out of the door and closed the door outside.

There was a lady sitting on the right side of the room, she was the wife of Governor Zhang, and at the moment she was holding a bowl of tea in her hand, and she took a sip to refresh herself.

She had been in the house for little rest since her husband had fallen into a coma, and she was now pale and tired.

Putting down the teacup, she said, "Zihao, which master did you brought?"

Lin Zihao walked up to Lin Qingchen and said, "Mrs. Zhang, this is the master of Lingxiao Vision, and he is very proficient in difficult diseases. ”

After listening to Lin Zihao's introduction, Mrs. Zhang looked at Lin Qingchen carefully.

In front of him, Lin Qingchen was wearing a cyan robe, his face was white and his hair was combed, and he looked very young, but now was not the time to doubt.

She has seen more than a dozen famous Lang Zhong come to the clinic for treatment, but there is no result, which also makes her exhausted.

Now the only way to let him diagnose it is to make him diagnose first, so Mrs. Zhang stood up, and the maid on the side hurriedly held Mrs. Zhang's hand.

She herself is the same age as Governor Zhang, and now she is already beginning to show her old age, and with a few days of mental torment, it is a little difficult to walk without help.

"Come with me," Mrs. Zhang said, and then took the lead across the screen to the bed of Governor Zhang's mansion.

There is a mahogany bed behind the screen, and the one lying on the bed is Zhang Zhifu, Zhang Zhifu is unconscious with his eyes closed at the moment, only a faint breath in his nose.

Mrs. Zhang stood aside and looked at Lin Zihao, and Lin Zihao immediately said to Lin Qingchen: "Qingchen, please give Governor Zhang for treatment." ”

Lin Qingchen walked to the bed, and Mrs. Zhang's maid moved a four-legged wooden stool for Lin Qingchen to sit down, and Lin Qingchen lifted his robe and sat on the stool.

His right hand stretched out and rested on the pulse of Governor Zhang's right hand to check the pulse first, he closed his eyes and felt his pulse, and everyone did not speak.

Slowly time passed, after a pillar of incense, Lin Qingchen was speechless, he slowly opened his eyes and put away his right hand and stood up.

Mrs. Zhang hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Dao Chief, what kind of illness does my father-in-law have?"

Lin Qingchen was a little embarrassed when he heard this, seeing him frowning, Mrs. Zhang chuckled in her heart and looked sad, she had seen too many Lang Zhong have such a face after coming in.

Seeing Lin Qingchen like this, she was even more desperate, Lin Qingchen settled down and put away her face.

Looking at Mrs. Zhang, he opened his mouth and said: "Governor Zhang's pulse is beating steadily, it is no different from a normal person, now I can't confirm what the illness is, it's getting late, I will bring tools tomorrow to carefully examine Governor Zhang's Mansion again, one thing I can tell for sure that Mrs. Zhang's pulse is stable, and his life is temporarily fine." ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Zhang was a little puzzled and asked, "Where is the Dao Chief's tool, why don't I send someone to get it and diagnose it immediately." ”

Lin Qingchen said: "Don't hide it from Mrs. Zhang, I hurried from Lingxiaoguan today, the wind and dust have not rested all the way, my mind is a little tired, everything is in the Lin Mansion, I will come over early tomorrow morning, Mrs. Zhang, please relax, I am in the Prefect Zhang's Mansion." ”

Hearing Lin Qingchen say this, Mrs. Zhang was not an unreasonable person, she said: "Since the Taoist chief has confidence, then I believe in the Taoist chief, please rest and recuperate your spirit first, and treat the prince tomorrow." ”

Lin Qingchen folded his hands and said, "Mrs. Zhang, please rest assured, you should do your best in making up your mind." ”

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Xiaoqing is sending off." ”

After saying that, Lin Zihao and Lin Xingyi said goodbye to Mrs. Zhang, and then the maid beside her took Lin Zihao and the three of them out of the house and walked out of Zhang's mansion.

Mrs. Zhang called the housekeeper Uncle Chen into the house after a few people left, and she said to Uncle Chen: "I trust Zihao and his relative for many years, but this Taoist priest is a stranger, you call a clever person to keep an eye on the Lin Mansion, and report to me immediately if there is any change." ”

Uncle Chen replied yes, Mrs. Zhang asked him to leave the house, it was late at night, Lin Xingyi returned to the Lin Mansion with a lantern in his hand and the moonlight.

Lin Qingchen suddenly said in the back: "I found out that Governor Zhang's illness doesn't seem to be sick, it may have been poisoned." ”

As soon as these words were said, the two of them were really shocked, and Lin Zihao hurriedly stopped and walked in front of Lin Qingchen.

He lowered his head and asked softly, "Qingchen, what you said is true!"

Lin Qingchen said: "It's just suspicion, because it's just suspicion, I don't dare to assert it, and I don't dare to tell Mrs. Zhang, besides, Governor Zhang's symptoms are strange, but he can't wake up and has no other symptoms, if it's poisoned, it's a strange poison, I'm afraid it will be difficult to treat." ”

Lin Zihao was a little worried when he heard this, and he asked: "But there is a place where I can help, Qingchen, just say that I will help." ”

Lin Qingchen said: "Not for the time being, I'll go back and check the classics to see if there are any cases with similar symptoms, and then treat the symptoms." ”

Hearing this, Lin Zihao calmed down and said, "Okay, then let's go back first." ”

While they were talking, a figure watched them from a dark alley, and when he saw that they were talking in the street without moving, he pulled out a black ball from behind him.

The thing was only the size of an egg, and he held it in his right hand and threw it directly at Lin Qingchen and the others.

This person's hand strength is not small, and the black ball quickly smashed towards Lin Zihao.

As soon as he heard Lin Zihao's words, Lin Qingchen saw a black ball behind Lin Zihao that was smashing towards him quickly.

Lin Qingchen immediately pushed Lin Zihao aside, flicked his sleeve with his left hand and brushed the black ball aside with a wide robe.

But as soon as his clothes touched the black ball, he only heard a "bang", and the black ball burst in the air.

The black ball actually contained a large amount of powder, and this powder shrouded Lin Qingchen and the three of them directly.
