The shopkeeper of the Po Chai Hall opened the door of the shop for the second time, and was stunned by the scene before him. The cabinet overturned the table, and the floor was full of herb slag. There was a theft in the store, and he immediately reported it to the official.

Ding Jian, the head catcher, came to visit with a dry catcher.

At the scene of the theft, Ding Jian found that there were a few drops of blood on the dregs, he pinched some dregs with his hands, leaned to his nose and smelled them, "andrographis" Ding Jian said casually. Then I went to examine other medicinal residues, all of which were herbs that invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis, reduce inflammation and relieve pain.

Now there are traces of blood, and a large number of herbs are rolled up, which shows that the thief was seriously injured, Ding Zhutou immediately sent people to visit, and the major medical halls and pharmacies became the key search targets, but the catchers quickly fed back the news. The Po Chai Tong family was the only one who stole it, and according to the Lang Zhong, they have not treated any patients who have been injured by stabs recently. Ding Zhutou pondered for a while, and then ordered the catchers to visit the inn restaurant. As a result, there were no clues.

Since there was no theft from other pharmacies, could it be said that the thief had a grudge against the shopkeeper Wang? Ding Zhutou inquired about it, and quickly denied this idea, and the shopkeeper Wang was honest and kind, and he never had a dispute with anyone in business. From this point of view, the thief is stealing at will, and the shopkeeper Wang is unlucky.

Now there are no valuable clues left on the ground except for the blood stains, and Ding Jian believes that it is not easy to investigate this matter. He told the king to stay at ease, and that if the thief was caught, he would be required to compensate for the loss of the pharmacy. This sentence is just a relieving pill, of course Ding Zhutou knows that since the thief went to the pharmacy to steal medicine, it means that he is well versed in pharmacology, and the doors and windows are not damaged at all.

Apparently it was done by a master of the rivers and lakes. This group of characters, who have come and gone without a trace, where to arrest them?

After Ding Zhutou prevaricated, he returned to the county office with the catchers. He just treated this case as an ordinary theft case, but he didn't expect the county order Yu Qing to have a sad face.

Ding Zhutou asked him for peace, and then asked him what happened? Yu Qing told Ding Zhutou,

Admiral Zou sent someone to the county with a letter and asked to assist him in investigating the traitor Lu Si. Now this county is worried, if this Lu Si is hiding in this county, how can he be found?

Ding Zhutou smiled and said to Qing: "My lord, you are a little worried, how can Lu Si hide in our county?" Yu Qing looked at each other angrily when he heard this, and he scolded loudly: "Ding Zhutou, how can you swear that Lu Si has never come to the county? Could it be that you don't have three hundred taels of silver here, and you have seen Lu Si, so you deliberately said this?"

When Ding Zhutou heard this, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he said incoherently: "This ...... This one...... Big...... My lord, what my subordinates mean is that if there is a large-scale search, I am afraid that this Lu Si will be like a frightened bird, and he will inevitably flee when he hears the wind. ”

"Hmm" Yu Qing nodded, and he said to Ding Zhutou: "You take some capable catchers, turn into vendors, traveling doctors, and go everywhere to see." I heard Lord Zou say that Lu Si was seriously injured, and I am afraid that he will not be able to escape far after a while. ”

Ding Zhutou nodded again and again, thinking that Yu Qing's words were very reasonable. Yu Qing glanced at him again and said to him, "Ding Zhutou, what is the matter with you today? Is there something hidden from me? By the way, I just heard that the Baojitang was stolen, what did you find at the scene?"

Ding Zhutou glanced up at Yu Qing, and a wave of righteousness was reflected under his blazing eyes. He felt himself tremble, but he pretended to be calm. Seeing Yu Qing's investigation of the theft, Ding Zhutou told Yu Qing that the thief must be a master of martial arts. ”

Yu Qing listened to Ding Zhutou's answer, but he did not express his opinion immediately. Instead, he observed the words and waited for further explanations from Ding Zhutou. Ding Zhutou then told Yu Qing about the results of the investigation at the scene. Yu Qing pondered for a moment, and then he asked Ding Zhutou to hand over the investigation report to him, and he wanted to review it carefully.

After leaving the county office, Ding Zhutou had a feeling of relief, and he was about to suffocate under his sharp gaze. The crowd invited him to drink, but how could Ding Zhutou have such a thought? He hurried back to the grass hut on the outskirts of the forest on the pretext that he was unwell.

As soon as he pushed open the door, a bright blade landed around his neck. Ding Zhutou pushed away the short blade and said to the people in the room: "Look at you, now you are all soldiers, and I am also worried all day long. When is a day like this going to be a head?"

The man in the house put away the short blade and said to him, "Young mother-in-law, mother-in-law, if Lao Tzu can go out, can he still nest in this thatched hut and receive this bird's breath?"

Ding Zhutou sighed, clenched his fists and slammed them on the table a few times. The man in the house scolded, "What are you complaining about here, hurry up and prepare me a fat chicken and a jar of fine wine." Running for his life along the way, Lao Tzu was about to starve to death. ”

Ding Zhutou said to him: "Lu Si, can you stop a little, if I walk to the suburbs with the wine jar and fat chicken, it will not be suspicious?"

Lu Sicai didn't care about this, he asked Ding Zhutou to come back at night. Ding Zhutou slammed the door and left, and told Lu Si that the pharmacy had been stolen, and it seemed that someone was injured and hiding here. Lu Si didn't think much when he heard it, the people in the rivers and lakes were swords, and injuries were commonplace, so what was the big deal about grabbing a handful of herbs.

Ding Zhutou sighed again, and the rush to and fro made him upset. That night, after he delivered wine and food to Lu Si, another pharmacy shopkeeper went to the county government to report the case. Yu Qing ordered someone to find Ding Jian, and shouted several times in a row, but Ding Jian was nowhere to be seen. Yu Qing's face couldn't help but gather dark clouds, and his expression became serious.

Yu Qing asked where Ding Jian had gone? Ding Jian lied and went to investigate the theft. Yu Qing glanced at him and didn't say anything more. After a short silence, Yu Qing immediately ordered Ding Jian to send a catcher to the scene of the theft. Like last time, it was again the hemostatic medicine that disappeared without a trace. However, this time, the thief sneaked into the medicine store to steal while the pharmacy was occupied.

Ding Jian secretly hated this thief in his heart, if he really pulled out Lu Si, he would probably have to move his head. It was Ding Jian, like the previous case, who was ready to do perfunctory. However, Yu Qing incorporated his cronies into the team, and Li Er saw that Ding Jian had no intention of continuing to investigate. So he gave him an idea, and he told Ding Jian that the thieves had committed crimes in the county twice, indicating that he had a foothold here.

This sentence made Ding Jian's spine feel a chill, he glared at Li Er, and said in a stern tone: "This obvious truth, is there still a way for you to teach this to catch heads?" This person was not angry, but struck while the iron was hot, and continued to tell Ding Jian his thoughts.

His plan made Ding Jian frightened, it turned out that Li Er's advice to Ding Jian was to search the suburbs of the forest, this trick was really ruthless, didn't he want to force the vicious dog to jump over the wall?

Seeing Ding Jian's gaze wandering, Li Er thought that he hadn't heard clearly, so he repeated what he had just said again. Ding Jian only came out of his lost soul at this time, and while he was vain about this person, he was thinking in his heart about how to cover up Lu Si's affairs.

Now that Li Er was sent by Yu Qing, Ding Jian couldn't help but give him a little thin face, and if he refused with words, it would inevitably arouse suspicion. So Ding Jian said to Li Er: "Your suggestion is good, let's go to the strange willow forest in the east to search and search."

Ding Jian thought that doing this would satisfy Li Er, but Li Er actually wanted to take someone to search the green bamboo forest in the west. Ding Jian couldn't help but shudder when he heard this, but he quickly calmed down,

He said to Li Er: "It's better for us to act separately, which can save time in handling cases." You go to the green bamboo forest, where the terrain is flat. ”

Li Er is knowledgeable, even if he is a close confidant of the county order, he can't stare at his nose and face, and let the dignified head catcher go to the rugged and difficult strange willow forest. Therefore, Li Er took some people, and after bidding farewell to Ding Jian, he headed towards the strange willow forest.

Then Ding Jian also pretended to go to the green bamboo forest, but he deliberately slowed down on the road, so their journey was much slower than Li Er's. When Li Er arrived near the strange willow forest, he immediately ordered the crowd to disperse and search, and after a while, a catcher rushed to report.

"There is a situation ahead, Li Tou, come and take a look. Li Er gathered everyone and followed this catch to the front to check. It turned out that there was a pile of burning ash and a few sweet potato stalks next to it.

Li Er looked at the sweet potato stalks, and their surface was ruddy, indicating that they had just eaten the leftovers recently.

He said to the catchers, "There must be someone here, everyone be careful." With that, with the knife in hand, he led everyone slowly towards the depths of the forest. The sound of squirming footsteps aroused the alarm of the people in the forest, and he was meditating and pranayama at this time.

Li Er saw someone in front of him by the light of the fire, and he said to the catchers: "Look, there is a fierce monk in front." Before his words fell, the fierce monk and the evil eagle spread its wings and pounced on the catcher, and he fired several palms in succession, and his strength destroyed the withering and decaying, crumbling clouds and rubble. In an instant, together with Li Er, all the arrests were killed in the field.

It turned out that the fierce monk who killed everyone was none other than the traitor of Southern Shaolin and the first minister of Dharma Hall. On that day, he was slapped with Fakong, and later fought with Zhishan Zen Master, which was a great injury to his vitality. After Yuan Yingwu rescued the monks, the minister fled from the Shaolin Temple in a hurry and hid in the empty and uninhabited dense forest to heal his injuries. I didn't expect someone to find this place now, and the law minister knew that this might be his own stealing of the wound medicine, leaving clues for the catchers.

Now that someone has discovered that this is no longer a place to stay for a long time, it is better to go thirty-six times. Fa Xiang fled at night and found another place to live. However, Shicai touched his heart, and his internal injuries recurred. Fa Xiang walked all the way, and unconsciously bumped into Qingzhu.
