In the Tongxin Medical Center, Lin Xingyi stood up from his seat, and he kept pacing back and forth.

Now he is a little anxious, a quarter of an hour has passed, Lin Qingchen is still upstairs and has not come down.

The others sat quietly, Wu Haowei and Li Qingze listened to the master's words very much, while Yang Gang felt that he had been very indifferent and indifferent to things.

After walking back and forth dozens of times, Lin Xingyi finally couldn't bear it anymore, and muttered in his mouth: "No, I have to go up and have a look." ”

As he spoke, he moved his steps towards the stairs, and before he stepped on the stairs, Lin Qingchen and Qi Hanlin walked down from the stairs together.

Seeing Lin Qingchen coming down, Lin Xingyi hurriedly greeted him, and he said with relief: "How to clean the dust, what is the result of your discussion." ”

Lin Qingchen said: "The medicine can be done, first grab the medicine and then we will go back, first use a dose on Governor Zhang, and see how the effect is." ”

After saying that, Qi Hanlin personally went to help Lin Qingchen dispense medicine and catch medicine, and when he was waiting to catch medicine, a sound of horses' hooves came from outside the medical hall.

The horses were stopped, and before the people entered the hospital, the sound was already heard.

I only heard a male voice shouting: "Xiao Er, hurry up and grab the medicine, it's still the old formula." ”

As soon as the words fell, a person strode in, the person who came looked plain, and the clothes he was wearing were also ordinary, the difference was that the hat was engraved with a golden word for money.

Xiao Er was packing medicine for Lin Qingchen, when he heard the voice, he looked up and said with a smile: "Guest officer, wait a minute, I'll finish wrapping it right away, and I'll catch the medicine for you." ”

The man frowned after hearing this, then let go of the horsewhip and sat down casually, and said, "Hurry up, Xiao Er." ”

Xiao Erlian said hello a few times, and the movements of his hands sped up.

Lin Qingchen looked at this family-looking person, sat down with a big grin, and his expression did not change.

Lin Xingyi pouted on the side and said: "Look at the words on this person's hat, it should be from the Qian family in Qiu City, the Qian family is one of the best families in Qiu City, the Qian family is rich and the first party is even the same, and the family is so arrogant." ”

Although he is a county magistrate, he also has to make concessions to the Qian family, because the Qian family not only has huge wealth, but also relatives in the officialdom.

Lin Qingchen didn't answer, as long as the Qian family's family didn't provoke him, he wouldn't care, it had nothing to do with him whether he was arrogant or cowardly.

After Xiao Er wrapped the medicine, Qi Hanlin took the three packets of medicine, and Lin Qingchen and the others stood up.

Lin Qingchen said to Qi Hanlin: "Thank you Brother Qi for your help." ”

Qi Hanlin replied: "Brother Lin doesn't have to be polite, go quickly, let me know if it's useful." ”

Then Lin Xingyi paid the silver to Qi Hanlin, and several people said goodbye to each other and walked out of the medical hall.

Xing Zhuoyuan, the chief arrester of Qiu City, ordered the whole city to search for outsiders, and he came to a barren and dark alley in Dongshi.

On both sides of the alley were many people in tattered clothes, all of them were extremely thin, and their bodies were only skinny and bone-covering.

Their eyes were glazed, the alleys were filled with filthy smells, and there were ** who didn't know whether they were hungry or miserable.

Xing Zhuoyuan's clean clothes are incompatible with here, if someone comes here accidentally, he will be picked up by these people next to him within two clicks.

But at this moment, these people are staring at Xing Zhuoyuan, but no one dares to step forward, and no one in Qiu City dares to rob Xing Zhuoyuan, who is equipped with a big knife and has a head-catching iron plate.

Xing Zhuoyuan went deeper and darker, the roofs of the houses on both sides blocked all the sunlight, and a candle flame fluttered in front of him, swaying in the darkness.

The candle hung on the wall, and under the candle was a closed wooden door.

Xing Zhuoyuan walked to the door, "knock knock, knock," knocked on the door three times, and a voice came from inside and asked, "Who." ”

"Xing Zhuoyuan. ”

There was silence for a while when he heard the name, "Squeak," and the thin wooden door slowly opened.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw three big men in thin clothes and with sturdy arms leaning against the wall, and they were staring at Xing Zhuoyuan.

It was one of the big men who opened the door, and he stretched out his right hand to Xing Zhuoyuan and said, "Xing Zhutou is inside, please." ”

Xing Zhuoyuan didn't care about the eyes of the two big men, and followed the big man who opened the door to go inside, and there was a narrow road behind the door.

There were stone walls on both sides, and after walking a short time there was another door, which was not a thin wooden door, but strong and heavy at first glance.

"Knock knock," the big man in front of Xing Zhuoyuan knocked on the door three times, and one of the people inside said, "Come in." ”

The big man pushed the door open and stretched out his hand to invite Xing Zhuoyuan in, Xing Zhuoyuan entered the house, and the big man left.

There was only one person in the room, a man sitting in front of a chair, and a table with a few side dishes and a jug of wine.

He was drinking alone, and there were no windows in the house, and four candles were lit and hung on the four walls, so that the room was bright.

The man opened his mouth and said, "Xing Zhutou, please take a seat." ”

There was also a chair opposite him, Xing Zhuoyuan sat down unceremoniously, and the man opposite saw Xing Zhuoyuan sit down and picked up a wine glass and poured him a glass of wine.

Pushing the wine glass in front of Xing Zhuoyuan, he said, "Xing Zhutou, please." ”

Xing Zhuoyuan said: "Thank you Boss Ge, Xing is just on an errand and it is inconvenient to drink. ”

Boss Ge smiled and said: "Hey~ Xing Zhutou doesn't have to be polite, I can't afford to be your boss, just call me Ge Laosan." ”

Ge Laosan laughed as he spoke, there was a scar on his face that cut half of his face diagonally, and with the smile, the scar also shook and looked at it, but it made people's hearts palpitate.

Then he said, "What is the matter with Xing Zhutou coming to this dirty and dark place?"

Xing Zhuoyuan said directly: "I want to ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Do you know about Gu poison. ”

"Gu poison?"

Ge Laosan put down his hand to pick up the vegetables, his face was a little solemn, obviously this is a bad word.

Even he didn't want to hear the word, who was he, he was called Ge Lao, he was the most well-informed person in the entire Qiu City.

He is mostly clear about the big and small things that happened in Qiu Cheng.

The reason why he is in this airtight room is also because he can't see the light of day in what he does.

Xing Zhuoyuan came to him because he knew a lot of things, and he repeated the word Gu poison.

He said, "Why do you ask this, is someone poisoned?" ”

Xing Zhuoyuan didn't answer and asked directly: "Tell me what you know, and I can only say that the rest is confidential." ”

Looking at Xing Zhuoyuan's cold and serious face, with the friendship between the two of them for many years, he also knew him.

So Ge Laosan said: "This poison is a poison that only the people of the Miao Jiang generation will refine, and the pharmaceutical method is only passed on to the clansmen, not to outsiders." ”

Xing Zhuoyuan pondered his words, and asked again: "Do the people of the Miao Jiang clan have any characteristics?" ”

Ge Laosan said: "If you talk about the characteristics, that is, their dialect is the language of the southwest region, you can hear it as soon as you hear it, even if you speak official dialect, there is an accent, and the others are no different from ordinary people." ”

Xing Zhuoyuan memorized his words word by word in his mind, and after listening to him, he stood up and said, "I've finished asking everything I want to ask, and I will leave." ”

After saying that, he stood up and was about to walk out of the door, but Ge Laosan didn't get up to see him off.

He poured himself another glass of wine and said, "Good wine is here, it's a pity that no one drinks it, it's a pity." ”

After speaking, Xing Zhuoyuan raised his head and drank it all, Xing Zhuoyuan stopped, and he said: "With your ability, why bother in this dirty and dark place, wait for you to stand in the bright place Xing will drink with you again." ”

After speaking, he stepped out, walked out of the door and watched the door close again, and Ge Laosan poured another glass.

Staring at the wine in the cup, he muttered to himself: "Is it poisonous, interesting and interesting." ”

Xing Zhuoyuan left this place and returned directly to the yamen, where fifteen headhunters in strong suits stood in a room in the yamen.

And the person standing at the front was Xing Zhuoyuan, standing in front and looking at these fifteen people, Xing Zhuoyuan said, "Have you found any suspicious people?"

After saying that, no one answered, it seemed that they had not been found, Xing Zhuoyuan frowned, this result was naturally unpleasant, but it was normal to have no clues and no results.

So Xing Zhuoyuan continued: "Go down and continue to search, strictly investigate people with accents in the southwest region, and remember that this matter is confidential, no one is allowed to leak it to the outside world, and violators will be severely punished, go down." ”

Fifteen people saluted in unison and withdrew, but two others did not go out.

Since he had something to say about staying, Xing Zhuoyuan was waiting for them to speak.

The two glanced at each other and said, "Boss, my subordinate patrolled and found a tattered beggar on the street, he was lying on the street convulsions, and came forward to check that it seemed to be related to the fairy medicine, that person has been placed by us, do you want to take a look." ”

Xing Zhuoyuan pondered, the immortal medicine is said to be happy like a fairy after taking it, which is something that only appeared half a month ago.

Although this medicine makes people happy, it destroys people's minds, and the people they meet are like soulless walking corpses.

The most terrifying thing is that it will not take long for the person who takes the medicine to die, and the corpse will still have a dull smile on its face after death, and the appearance of the face is chilling.

Where did the elixir come from? Who was selling it, but they couldn't find any clues.

Xing Zhuoyuan asked, "Where are the people?"
