Chapter 246 Ninety-nine (2 in 1)

Just when Zheng Xiu and Yin Qingqing happily walked together, men and women matched up, galloping horses, running to Wutong Temple for an outing in a carefree manner.

In fact, Xi'er is very happy to be alone with Xiao Ma Zheng Xiu. Who doesn't like him because he is so handsome? But their destination is the Wutong Temple, the one where Mo Jiu got pregnant.

, which made Xi'er feel a little squeamish and secretly afraid.

Let's go investigate the case honestly.

The handover with the government was particularly smooth. When Xi'er revealed her identity to the Luzhen County Magistrate, the magistrate burst into tears of gratitude on the spot. After confirming Xi'er's identity, he handed over the case to the Disaster Prevention Center without saying a word.

The speed was so fast that Xi'er couldn't help but sigh with emotion at the local county magistrate's vigorous and decisive actions.

After taking the list, Xi'er contacted Situ Yong, thinking of visiting the widows with him. After Chang Shihui got through, Xi'er was surprised to find that Situ Yong was checking the body of a man who had died not long ago.

When Xi'er asked, she found out that Situ Yong took advantage of the half-hour gap to go to the mortuary to conduct an autopsy and investigate the case.

"Do you still know how to work?"

Xi'er was stunned. What puzzled her was that Situ Yong knew a little bit here and a little bit there. Wouldn't he ruin his ability as a [healer] by messing around like this?

"I know a little bit about it, but alas, doctors are kind-hearted."

Situ Yong is done.

The two met in front of the inn.

"Huh? It's quite lively at the other end of the street. What happened?"

Situ Yong and Xi'er took the list and prepared to visit the widows.

The streets were bustling with people, and there was a place surrounded by three floors inside and three floors outside.

After arresting a local citizen and questioning him, he found out that a "strange man" had come from outside the town and was performing a trick.

"Damn it, can the 'odd people' say it with such arrogance now?"

Xi'er and Situ Yong looked at each other, and they knew who it was without even thinking about it.

Sure enough, before they squeezed into the crowd, they heard the familiar laughter.

Jun Buxiao set up a stage on the street, and he was wearing a mask and performing tricks.

Sometimes he blew fire into flowers, then rubbed the flowers in his palms and blew them out, turning them into snowflakes falling from the sky. Such a strange magic performance attracted people's applause, and more and more people in Lu Town came to see it.

Xi'er finally understood that this guy was using thaumaturgy under the guise of "magic".

"It turns out that the career of an 'actor' can still be as good as this."

Situ Yong said with emotion.

Before Zheng Xiu left, the task he gave Jun Buxiao was to inquire about news in the city.

Jun Buxiao has his own way.

I have to say that Jun Buxiao’s magic performance is indeed beautiful. Xi’er and Situ Yong watched it for a long time and couldn’t help but applaud. Soon the finale of the show “Shadow Play” came, which was not a big deal for Xi’er and Situ Yong.

Considering it a novelty, they squeezed out of the crowd and left the stage.

However, the temporary combination of Xi'er and Situ Yong encountered an unexpected obstacle when they came to bring warmth to the widow. When Xi'er said that the Disaster Prevention Bureau came to investigate the case, the widow who opened the door turned pale and slammed the door tightly.

This gave Xi'er and Situ Yong a big rejection.

After several times in a row, Xi'er realized something was wrong and was puzzled.

It stands to reason that she is as beautiful as a flower and is loved by everyone, plus she has a special affinity cultivated over many years as an undercover agent.

Situ Yong did not show off his name as "the best doctor in the world". He came to Luzhen to do a cesarean section... No, he came to handle the case. Showing his name was too high-profile.

"I think the way we visit is a little inappropriate."

Situ Yong twirled his beard and thought for a while, then touched his arms - there was a thick stack of banknotes, which could be exchanged at all branches of Zheng's Bank.

"What's wrong?" Xi'er glared.

Situ Yong took out a stack of silver notes and said with a smile: "Do you still remember the money that the young master casually gave each of us before going out?"

Hearing this, Xi'er touched her pocket. She also had money. She was really not short of money when she went out with the Zheng family to do errands. But what does this matter have to do with it?

Situ Yong stroked his beard and laughed: "What do you think the young master is using for giving us the money?"

Xi'er was quite sure at first. After all, Zheng Xiu had always played like this, but Situ Yong's attitude made her less sure, so Xi'er cautiously asked, "Let us... spend it?"

"Yes! No!"

Situ Yong straightened his black shirt and used the hem to hide the five ferocious swords on his waist. Then he walked to the nearest place on the "widow's list" and knocked on the door politely.

The person who opened the door was a slightly fat woman about thirty-six years old. She had not put on makeup and had a simple and elegant appearance. She exuded the beauty of an unadorned young woman. Her simple long skirt could not hide her slightly bulging belly. She

Carefully opening the door a crack, he took a look outside and saw an old man and a woman. He lowered his guard, frowned and asked, "Who are you two..."

"I, Situ Yong, serve under the Red King, and the Xiao Department of the Disaster Prevention Bureau is here to investigate Zhong's murder case. I hope that Zhong Li will be able to make it convenient for the two of us to ask a few questions and then leave."

When Mrs. Zhong Li heard this, her face instantly turned pale. She shook her head in shock, and her voice was a little more hysterical: "His death has nothing to do with the slave family! The officials have asked many times! Woo woo woo!"

When the woman heard the two men's intention, she burst into tears and tried hard to close the door tightly.

"Don't worry!" Situ Yong took out something from his arms and stuffed it into the crack of the door.

It's a thick stack of banknotes.

Xi'er was stunned.

After a while, the little widow invited the two people into the room.

"Old miracle doctor, when did you learn the prince's trick?"

Xi'er asked in confusion.

Situ Yong smiled leisurely: "Those who are close to Zhu are red. They are influenced by their ears and eyes, and they are self-taught. I have always wondered why King Chi is doing things. He can obviously use his power to bully others, but he has to use wealth to win people's hearts and keep adding more money. Now let's give it a try..."

The old miracle doctor said with emotion: "It's really refreshing."

Old miracle doctor, you have changed.

Xi'er silently complained in her heart and looked around. The interior decoration of the house was simple, incense was burning, and the mourning hall was decorated. The little widow's deceased husband's burial place was ready, and she was enjoying the incense offerings. There were five incense sticks, three long and two short, and the cigarettes were light, which made her feel a little lonely.

In a corner of the room were several bundles of silkworm silkworms that had not yet been tied into raw cloth, stacked there randomly. It seemed that after the death of her husband, this elderly weaver girl had no choice but to return to her old business to make a living.

Xi'er observed for a while and nodded secretly. No wonder the little widow opened the door so boldly. After her husband died, a woman's life was difficult, and she even left a posthumous son. Situ Yong's pension undoubtedly relieved the little widow's temporary worries.

Xi'er was thinking about something, and Situ Yong sat down carelessly in the house not far away. The little widow made a pot of coarse tea and poured it for the two of them. During these few breaths, when Xi'er didn't pay attention, Situ Yong and the little widow started talking.

There was a bit of flirting and whispering about something.

Xi'er coughed twice: "We are the Disaster Prevention Bureau."

Situ Yong: "Yes, Disaster Prevention Bureau."

Zhong's Widow Fox asked: "But that rich king's..."

Xi'er corrected: "Red King."

The widow suddenly said: "Ah, yes, yes, it is the Red King!" After saying that, her eyes showed desire and envy. How happy she must be to work under that generous prince.

Xi'er asked some questions about Zhong's situation in a few words, and it was no different from what she had learned. At this time, Situ Yong stared at the widow's slightly bulging belly, frowned slightly, and asked: "I know a little about medicine, can I do it for you?"

Can you take your pulse?"

The widow was startled when she heard the words, and then she agreed happily. Just when Situ Yong said that she wanted to feel the pulse through the textile, the widow smiled miserably: "How can there be so much care about the body of a broken flower and a willow? Doctor, you have to take the slave's pulse, just take it.

Luck!"

After saying that, he stretched out his wrist in front of Situ Yong without hesitation. Situ Yong smacked his lips, and without any pretense, he gave it a few handfuls.

Situ Yong's brows trembled several times. Xi'er, who noticed the change in Situ Yong's expression, asked in a low voice: "Is there anything strange?"

The old miracle doctor cast a meaningful look at Xi'er and shook his head slowly. Xi'er understood and didn't ask any more questions. She changed the subject and asked what happened before and after Zhong's sudden death that day. Upon hearing this, the widow's face changed drastically.

, she stood up suddenly, extremely excited: "Do you suspect that the death of that damn ghost is really related to the slave family?"

Xi'er quickly comforted her: "It's just to investigate the case."

The widow's mood calmed down a little, perhaps for the sake of the money. Moreover, the behavior of Situ Yong and Xi'er was not like those officials who arrested people indiscriminately and sent them back to be sentenced. After several struggles,

, and finally recounted the causes and consequences of her husband’s death.

The young widow sobbed. It turned out that after she married Mrs. Zhong, the couple treated each other as guests at first. Mrs. Zhong worked hard to support her family, lived a well-off life, and lived happily. But later, for some reason, her husband became obsessed with looking for flowers and asking for willows, and he and Mrs. Zhong Li gradually fell in love with each other.

Although Ms. Zhong and Li were estranged and their fields were abandoned for plowing, they did not dare to say anything. After all, if she spoke out, the neighbors would make irresponsible remarks. It was precisely because of the long drought in the fertile fields that the little widow believed in the evil intentions of her neighbors and went up the mountain to seek help.

Wutongshen. Maybe if you are pregnant with a child, you can make a man change his mind.

The little widow became more and more emotional as she talked, crying. Situ Yong handed the little widow a silk scarf, and the little widow looked at the old miracle doctor gratefully. Well, it was a long-lost concern.

The old miracle doctor smiled and said there's no need to be polite, with the thoughtfulness and tolerance unique to middle-aged and elderly people in his tone.

You really understand.

Xi'er lowered her head and cursed secretly.
