Master Luo Cao

Because the Yuanyangguan Yunjian Temple case involved a lot, Jin Yunlong asked Fu Yunshu and Kou Luoqi to stay and accompany the investigation, so they stayed in Jiangbei Prefecture for several days.It wasn't until the account was almost explained that Ling had to go back home.

Before leaving, Fu Yunshu went to bid farewell to Jin Yunlong. Jin Zhifu was overwhelmed by this big case these days. There was such a shocking thing under his nose, and it involved a fifth-rank official. The court will definitely hold him accountable, but Jiang Bei The situation is complicated, and even if they are held accountable, there will probably be too much thunder and little rain, so although Jin Yunlong looked haggard, he felt relieved when he saw Fu Yunshu, and said: "This matter has something to do with the majesty of the imperial court, so we must not make it public. He had an affair with the abbot of Yunjian Temple, and together he forced a few sons from good families to become prostitutes, and they committed suicide because they were unwilling to be humiliated, and you must not talk about the rest."

Fu Yunshu said: "Your official understands, it's just..." He hesitated and said, "Those children from Dashui in Shanghai back then..."

In the pool of blood under the mandarin duck house, there are indeed many children's severed limbs, but some of them were bitten off by crocodiles, and some have been turned into white bones. Finally, after careful counting, there are more limbs than adults.

Jin Yunlong said: "The number of bones and severed limbs is far from matching. It should be that the hands and feet were chopped up and sold elsewhere. I will pay attention to investigate this matter."

Fu Yunshu nodded and said, "Yes."

Jin Yunlong said: "When such a big case occurs, the imperial court will probably send an imperial envoy to supervise it. Then maybe they will go to your Jiuhe County to take a look. You must pay attention."

Fu Yunshu saluted again and said, "Yes."

Back at the post station, Kou Luoche had already arranged everything, and was waiting for him by the carriage with his bundle. When he saw him coming from a distance, he grinned and said, "You're back, then let's set off."

Fu Yunshu just nodded without answering, took his own baggage from Kou Luoche, and Gu Zi got into the carriage.Kou Luoche followed, and seeing Fu Yunshu leaning against the wall of the carriage with his eyes closed, he couldn't help but call out, "Jianchen?"

There was no movement at all, Fu Yunshu seemed to be really asleep.

He has been like this ever since.

Kou Luoche sighed silently. He tried his best, but he couldn't coax the little county magistrate back, so he was somewhat discouraged.

But to say sorry...

Thinking of that ecstatic entanglement between clouds and rain, Kou Luoche thought to himself, but he didn't regret it.

After leaving Jiangbei Prefecture, he arrived at Ciyao County not long after. Kou Luoche reined in his horse and stopped, opened the curtain to look at Fu Yunshu, whose eyes were still closed, and said, "County Lord, Ciyao County is here, why don't you come down and take a look?" ?”

Fu Yunshu finally managed to open a slit of his eyes, and said, "What are you doing in Ciyao County?"

Kou Luoche asked: "The county magistrate, do you still remember that crazy kid?"

"...Of course I remember." Fu Yunshu said.The child lost his mind and came back after being lost. Apart from Zi'er screaming, he was shouting one person's name——Fu Yunshu.

Kou Luoche said: "I always feel that he has something to do with the Yuanyang House case."

Fu Yunshu nodded, "If that's the case, then let's take another look."

After finding a place to park the carriage, the two walked to Widow Wang's house familiarly, knocked on the door, and Widow Wang's voice sounded from inside—"Who is it?"

Kou Luoche opened his eyes and lied casually, "Mr. Wang, we are the two detectives who came to question you before. This time, we came to see if your baby is feeling better."

The door creaked open, and Widow Wang greeted them with a smile, "It turns out to be two officials, please come in." A seven or eight-year-old boy timidly stuck his head out from behind her and looked at them.

When Fu Yunshu saw the child behind her, he couldn't help but let out a "huh" and said, "Mr. Wang, your Ah Bao is awake?"

"Isn't it!" Wang's brows and eyes were full of smiles, "A genius doctor came two days ago and said that he heard that my family's Abao had the disease of losing his soul, so he came to see it. I didn't believe these inexplicable worlds The doctor, but Abao has been in a coma for a long time and has not improved, so he has to be a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Unexpectedly, the doctor is really a miracle doctor. After a few needles and a few medicines, our family Abao really I woke up a little bit!" When mentioning this matter, Widow Wang wiped her tears with joy, "And that miracle doctor is really a living fairy, not only did he not receive any money, but he even gave me some money to buy some good ones for Ah Bao. Make up your body. Tell me, how much virtue do I have to accumulate to meet such a living god!"

Fu Yunshu said: "That's really lucky."

Kou Luoche followed and said, "Fortunately, fortunately."

It's luck, but it's not.When they were left in the state capital for questioning a few days ago, Kou Luoche thought of this, so he asked the shopkeeper to send a letter to the stockade, asking the doctor Songque in the stockade to show it to the baby of Widow Wang's house. Look, I received a reply yesterday, and Songque said that the little boy's illness was cured, so he brought Fu Yunshu over here.

Widow Wang pulled out the little kid behind her and pushed them in front of the two, saying: "A Bao, hurry up, say hello to the two officials."

A Bao said timidly: "Hello, two officials."

"Okay." Fu Yunshu bent down, squeezed A Bao's face, and said, "A Bao, do you still remember what happened the night you left home?"

Hearing this, the little boy ran back behind Widow Wang like a frightened squirrel. "You child, just say what the official asks you." Widow Wang pulled him out from behind again, "Quickly tell the official how you were rescued."

"Rescue?" Fu Yunshu asked: "A Bao, were you captured by someone? And who saved you?"

Abao nodded hesitantly, and said: "Someone told me to eat candy, I... I went with him, and in the end...he locked me up, and there was blood everywhere in that place. I was scared, it was a big brother who saved me, so I ran and ran and ran back home."

Kou Luoche said softly: "A seven-year-old child can run back by himself, which means that the place where he was detained is not far away."

Ciyao County is next to Jiangbei Prefecture, and Yunjian Temple is on the outskirts of Jiangbei Prefecture, and it is even closer to Ciyao County, so it is not unusual to be able to run back by yourself.

Fu Yunshu was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Abao, do you remember what the big brother who saved you looked like?"

But Ah Bao suddenly cried, shaking his head while crying, and said, sobbing, "Big brother... Big brother's face is covered in blood, I can't see his appearance clearly."

Kou Luoche asked warmly, "Why is big brother covered in blood?"

Ah Bao cried: "Big brother and I were locked together, those bad guys are beating him."

Kou Luoche asked again: "Then Abao escaped back, where is the big brother?"

Abao said: "Big brother waited for those people to fall asleep, then took me to run together, and when he got to the door, he told me to go first, I... I ran... Yes! That's right." He seemed to suddenly remember Like something, excitedly grabbed Kou Luoche's sleeve, "Brother told me to find someone!"

Kou Luoche asked, "Who?"

Ah Bao said loudly: "Fu Yunshu!"

Surprised, Fu Yunshu couldn't help taking a step back, turned his head to look at Kou Luoche who was beside him, and met his equally astonished gaze.Widow Wang touched Abao's head, sighed and said: "After Abao told me about this, I asked someone to find this man named Fu Yunshu. There is no one named Fu here. I almost asked all over Ciyao, but I couldn't find this Fu Yunshu." She sniffled and took out her handkerchief to wipe her tears, "I don't know what happened to the benefactor who rescued our Ah Bao."

Ah Bao obediently stood on tiptoe to help his mother wipe away tears, saying: "Don't cry, my eldest brother said, there will be someone to take care of him, he will be fine."

Widow Wang sighed, "I hope so."

The two said goodbye to the widow Wang, mother and son, and returned to the carriage.Kou Luoche drove the car swayingly all the way, and after a long time, a word came softly from inside - "You said, the person who saved A Bao, could it be Yang Ye?"

This is the first sentence that Fu Yunshu took the initiative to say to Kou Luoche in so many days.

Kou Luoche couldn't help but look back, but saw the swaying car curtain, he looked away and said, "Probably. The monk won't relax for too long. If he brought a drag bottle, the final outcome would be nothing but Both of them were arrested, and he told the boy to run first, so he decided to stay and hold back the monks."

Fu Yunshu said hoarsely: "He must be fine."

Kou Luoche said: "Prefect Jin is busy with affairs, so he may not take a small policeman to heart. Yang Ye has to send more people to find him."

Fu Yunshu said: "Yes."

After that, the two of them had no more words along the way, and returned to Jiuhe County safely.Seeing that the county magistrate finally returned, everyone in the county government was very happy. Butler Liu thought about how to behave well, so he asked the kitchen to cook a table of good dishes, killed a pig, and sent a pot of fragrant ribs to the table. , the euphemistic name is to receive the wind and wash the dust.

The ingredients on this table are simple but full of color and fragrance, all of which are quite suitable for Fu Yunshu's appetite. It can be seen that he has put his mind to it. Unfortunately, the county magistrate is disturbed by his worries, and the food is tasteless. Let it go, and said: "I'm full, you can continue to eat." After saying that, he turned and went back to the house, leaving a room of servants looking at each other, thinking that something was not done well and the county magistrate was upset.

Steward Liu tremblingly approached Kou Luoche, "Mr. Kou, what's wrong with Mr. Fu?"

Kou Luoche sat at the table and ate without changing his expression, saying: "Maybe I'm tired."

Butler Liu gave a meaningful "oh", turned his head and ordered his servant to cook a pot of Shiquan Da tonic and send it to the county magistrate.

That servant took on the task of boiling medicine for Fu Yunshu last time, thinking that Mr. Fu was going far away, and wondered if he had taken the medicine on time, so he fried a big pot of the leftovers from last time and sent them away in a hurry The room of the county magistrate, "My lord, I'm here to deliver medicine to you!"

"Medicine?" Fu Yunshu was taken aback for a moment before he remembered that it was the medicine he had asked Dr. Shao to take before. The pitch-black medicine juice reflected his slumped face, and many worries and troubles were blowing on his face like the hot air above the medicine bowl. On, the mouth is full of bitterness for a while.He suddenly became inexplicably angry, and pushed the whole can of medicine to the ground. Under the panicked eyes of the servant, he slapped the table with resentment, and said in a hoarse voice, "I don't need it anymore."
