After exchanging lives, I can't get rid of the binding cp

On the third day after Lou Xiyue and Fu Guan returned to Nanhuai Mansion, the epidemic that raged inside and outside the city was no longer a hidden danger that threatened the lives of the people.After treatment, most of the infected patients have recovered, while some patients who have not recovered have gradually improved under the control of drugs.

At the same time, the weather in Nanhuai Prefecture has cleared up in recent days, the aftermath of the flood has gradually subsided, and the tides in various places have also receded.The people saw the sun behind the clouds, and finally all moved back to the city from the refuge on the mountainside.

A few days ago, the houses in the city were still being rebuilt, but these days, the government rushed to work day after day, and finally rushed to let the people return to their homes early this morning.

This is undoubtedly excellent news for everyone.The haze entrenched in the hearts of the people finally dissipated, and there was a rare joy in the city and outside the city, and the streets and alleys began to show the life atmosphere of many vendors hawking on the streets.

But at this time, the Nanhuai government office was full of serious and dull atmosphere.

"When and where were these corpses discovered?" In the lobby, Fu Guan asked with his hands behind his back: "Where are the witnesses who discovered the corpses? Tell them up."

As soon as the words fell, the Yacha who was waiting at the side quickly pushed a middle-aged man out: "Return to the prince, it is the corpse that this person found!"

The man trembled, and looked up in trepidation, only to see that the hall was full of officers and soldiers or government servants, all of them were dressed in official uniforms, with serious expressions, just like Rakshasa in the Hall of Yama.

But the "Prince" in everyone's mouth was even more terrifying. He raised his eyes and took a look tremblingly, and his face turned pale with fright at Fu Guan's cold eyes.

Men are nothing more than ordinary people, when have they seen such a "big scene"?
At this moment, being watched by all parties, he was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he immediately knelt down and said: "Master Zhifu Mingjian, Wang Ye Mingjian, the deaths of these people have nothing to do with the villain, the villain did not kill them !"

He hastily argued: "Even if you give the villain a hundred courage, he wouldn't dare to kill anyone! The villain was just fascinated by ghosts for a while, and seeing their beautiful clothes, he became greedy.

"Even if the villain, the villain is guilty, it is also the crime of stealing property. There is absolutely no one, and he dare not kill anyone!"

"Who asked you this!" Yacha scolded: "If the prince asks you, answer truthfully! Who are you, and when and where did you find these corpses!"

The man tremblingly said: "Xiao, the villain's surname is Li, the third in the family, everyone calls me Li Laosan. I, I found them on the avenue of the mass graves outside the city.

"It was dark at that time, almost, almost at midnight, I drank to strengthen my courage, and prepared, prepared to spend some money on the dead in the mass grave..."

It's really a bit unlucky to steal money from dead people.

But Li Laosan really had no choice.It was flood and epidemic, and Li Laosan had half a copper coin in his trouser pocket. If he didn't want to make some money, he could only go to drink the northwest wind.

Not long ago, he heard that there were many unnamed corpses in Nanhuai Mansion recently, and they all died of sudden illness recently.Their bodies were not claimed and were thrown into mass graves.

It turned out that Li Laosan didn't dare to go, for fear of catching the epidemic.

But when he was hungry, he had nowhere to go, so he had to take the risk of going to the gate of hell.But Li Laosan never thought that he would be so mediocre, and this trip really encountered a strange thing!

Li Laosan said: "The villain remembers that as soon as the villain's front foot reached the foot of the mass grave, someone pushed a carriage over. The villain was already scared and thought it was haunted, so he didn't dare to move now. Immediately hide in the grass..."

The carriage was parked at the entrance and exit of the mass grave, Li Laosan took a rough look under the moonlight, and vaguely saw the driver of the horse dragging two people from the carriage, one old and one young.

Li Laosan said: "Although the villain's eyes can't see clearly, his ears are not deaf. The villain can hear clearly. Those two discussed how to throw the father and daughter in the mass grave. Discover the cause of their death."

He spoke clearly and logically, pointing to the dead bodies on the ground and said, "They said that these two people died after taking some kind of medicine.

"Then, they threw down the medicine jars and medicine dregs together and set them on fire. They also said that they couldn't teach people to find out that the medicine they sold had a problem and accidentally killed someone."

"Medicine?" Fu Guan looked serious: "What kind of medicine?"

Li Laosan stammered: "What kind of medicine is it... the villain, the villain doesn't know, the villain only knows that those two people are mysterious, and there is probably some shady conspiracy."

He said: "The villain was afraid that he would be implicated, so he didn't dare to say anything. After the person who threw the corpse left, the villain immediately took the corpse and came to report to the police."

As soon as the words fell, the prefect of Nanhuai snorted coldly, and said, "Come to the police immediately? Really immediately? Then why are all the valuables missing from these two people? It seems that the problem with your theft is that you met the wicked, The dead have not changed! Very courageous!"

The magistrate ordered: "Take him down, lock him up first, and I'll deal with it later."

The Yacha responded "Yes", and immediately covered Li Laosan's mouth that kept shouting "forgive me", and dragged him down.

After seeing off the idlers and others, the prefect of Nanhuai stepped forward to ask for instructions: "My lord, look at the situation..."

Fu Guan waved his hand and interrupted the magistrate.He glanced at Lou Xiyue who was squatting on the ground to examine the corpse, and asked, "You have been watching for a long time, but did you see anything?"

Lou Xiyue moved the head of one of the corpses so that Fu could see it more clearly: "The dead man had a dark blue color behind his ears, and there were many purple spots all over his body."

As she said that, she lifted the eyelids of the deceased to look again, and said, "Did you see that there are a lot of red blood in the eyes of the two of them, and there are faint traces of blue and black..."

Fu Guan: "What do these signs indicate? Could it be..."

Lou Xiyue replied: "I'm afraid it's caused by poisoning." She clapped her hands and stood up, after washing her hands, she took a clean cloth to wipe her hands, "But this is just my preliminary deduction, if you want to analyze what poison you got , or you should ask Wu to do a detailed inspection before you can find out."

Fu Guan nodded slightly, and said: "I understand." He turned his head and ordered: "Prefect Zhao, please send someone to do an autopsy. This king wants to know the real cause of death of these two people."

He paused, and then said: "Also, send someone to check the identities of these two people, and don't let them go under the Nine Springs and become anonymous."

Zhao Zhifu: "Yes, I obey the order, and I will do it now."

After Zhao Zhifu took people away, Lou Xiyue said: "You suspect that this murder case is not simple." She said: "But you think the poison they were infected with is related to the medicine used in the recent epidemic?"

Fu Guan: "That's exactly what I'm worried about. I hope we are overthinking, otherwise if the truth is as we speculate, things will be very bad."

Lou Xiyue: "It's not just bad. If they really died from the epidemic medicine, then I'm afraid the two of them won't be the only ones who died in the city."

Over the past few days, medicinal materials for treating the epidemic have been widely distributed among the common people and spread widely.Now that a drug user has a problem, then more than half of the people in the city will suffer from it too!
Lou Xiyue realized the seriousness of this matter, and said, "Should Xuan Miao and Xuan Yi arrest the drug dealer Qi Lian immediately and wait for interrogation?"

Fu Guan shook his head and said: "This matter has not yet been settled, so it is not appropriate to act rashly."

Besides, there are only these two cases at present, and the rest of the drug users have no problems.Perhaps, it wasn't a problem with the medicine, but someone deliberately poisoned these two people.

Having said that, Fu Guan still ordered someone to take the medicine and check it carefully, and at the same time ordered the accompanying doctor to review the prescription so that there was no room for mistakes.

In addition, Xuan Yi also sent people to various pharmacies to test the medicinal materials sold, but they did not find any poison related to the murder.

Lou Xiyue was not idle either.During this period, she quietly inquired about Qi's pharmacy, trying to find useful clues.

But she kept a close eye on it for a long time, but she couldn't find any suspicious clues—the steward grandson of Qi's family did his job well, and he inspected almost every pair of medicines released by the pharmacy.

Lou Xiyue couldn't find any flaws.

She couldn't help wondering, could it be that she was thinking in the wrong direction and blamed the Qi family?In fact, the Qi family really didn't have any sinister intentions?
Lou Xiyue returned to the post house full of puzzlement, and was going to have a good discussion with Fu Guan again.

As soon as she arrived, Fu Guan just finished discussing with Nanhuai Zhao Zhifu.

Lou Xiyue watched Zhifu Zhao leave, and immediately went into Fu Guan's study: "What did Zhifu say? The identity of the deceased and the cause of death have been found out?"

"The identities of those two people have been found out, but the cause of their death is still suspicious." Fu Guan sighed lightly and said, "According to the report from the prefect Zhao, the deceased were from Xunjiang Town, and the father and daughter were in Nanhuai Mansion. Do some small business, often sell some tea on the street.

"They caught the epidemic and returned to the city after recovering from their illness, but they suddenly disappeared not long after. Then they were found in the mass grave by the thief who was stealing things."

Lou Xiyue frowned slightly: "Then what's the result of the test, what can you say?"

Fu Guan said: "This is the strange point - the author has carefully inspected, although it is confirmed that the deceased died of poisoning, but they can't find out what poison they were poisoned by, whether it is the author or the doctor who saw the doctor, They all claim to have never seen the poison on the dead body."

"Unrecognizable poison..." Lou Xiyue lowered her head in thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "So have you checked every medicinal herb shop in the city? Don't you have any clues?"

"No." Fu Guan shook his head, and said, "Xuan Yi sent personnel to check all over the city carefully, and found no poison residue in the medicinal materials."

After finishing speaking, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Lou Xiyue: "How is your situation?" The corner of his mouth was half a smile, "I thought you ran away after running away quietly for so many days."

Lou Xiyue almost couldn't help giving him a blank stare: "Why did I run away for nothing, and where did I go? It was just a visit to the herbal medicine shop of the Qi family's grandson—besides, I haven't been away for a long time, but It's just a day or two."

"Oh?" Although Fu Guan had some guesses, he didn't expect that she actually went to Qi's pharmacy: "What can I gain from that?"

Lou Xiyue sighed, and said, "It's the same as you—nothing." She took a sip of tea and said, "What I saw was that the Qi family worked hard, and there was nothing wrong with it. Could it be that we guessed wrong?"

"So what if we guess wrong? At least we don't need to worry about the rest of the people who have used the medicine to treat the epidemic." Fu Guan said: "As for the progress of this murder case, it depends on how Xuan Miao investigates."

Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Fu Guan just finished speaking, and Xuan Miao walked quickly all the way.

Xuan Miao was out of breath from running, and after a hasty salute, she said, "My lord, good news, the murderer has been caught!"

Lou Xiyue: "?"

She looked at Fu Guan in confusion, and they both asked at the same time: "Have you caught the murderer? How did you catch him? Who is the murderer?"

Xuan Miao: "It's a long story, the thing is like this..."

It turned out that Xuan Miao was ordered by Fu Guan to track down the person who threw the corpse, but there was no clue.He could only find another way, and began to investigate from the dead.

He knew that the deceased was a person from Xunjiang Town, who went to Nanhuai Mansion to do some tea business, and was a peddler walking around.In Nanhuai Mansion, the streets are full of small vendors like this, and it's nothing special.

Xuan Miao thought, could it be that the deceased had a grudge with others, or because of something, he was envied by others, so he was drugged and poisoned?
So he set out to trace the deceased's interpersonal relationship.As a result, after such an investigation, I really found out some clues.

Xuan Miao said: "My subordinates have found out that the deceased often sells tea in the west of the city. That area is the most bustling and bustling, and there are many tea sellers.

"The Xu family's father and daughter used to pull a cart to sell along the street. For a while, they even had a conflict with their colleagues-it is said that they quarreled for a little bit of territory."

Lou Xiyue: "It's not uncommon for vendors to compete for land in order to attract more customers and sell more goods."

"What happened later?" Fu Guan asked.

Xuan Miao: "Although it is not uncommon to fight for territory, that time they quarreled especially fiercely, and even used a knife. They slashed each other with a knife, and the other kicked Uncle Xu into the river.

"The two sides in the fight refused to give in to each other. Later, the officials came, and they were taught a lesson and spent a few days in prison. After they came out, the vendors who fought with Xu's father and daughter put down their cruel words and threatened to kill them Two revenge..."

Lou Xiyue: "So it's... a fellow vendetta?"

Xuan Miao nodded and said: "The subordinates searched for clues and found the vendor who had a conflict with Xu's father and daughter that day. As a result, the man turned around and ran away when he saw us. The subordinates caught him back, and the man confessed gone."

Fu Guan: "Oh? He pleaded guilty to Zhao Zhifu, admitting that he killed the man?"

"That's right." Xuan Miao said, "Your subordinate just came over from the prefect of Zhao, where they are interrogating. The vendor explained clearly the process of killing Xu's father and daughter, saying,
"It was he who felt resentful because of the dispute that day, and then saw that the Xu family's father and daughter were infected with the epidemic, so he secretly poisoned their medicine and killed them.

"After he killed the man, he teamed up with his brothers to snatch all the tea from Xu's family and took it for himself. He took the man to the mass grave and threw him away, thinking that the matter would be settled, but he didn't expect It will come out.

"They knew they were doomed, so they recruited everything."
