【86】

Seeing the yamen servants running past downstairs, Xing Yuan knew that Zhao Peng's body had been found.Seeing the frowns of the yamen servants, Xing Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and snorted coldly.

This is the way this world is, people who hold high positions but do nothing can die vigorously, but many people with legendary histories will end up with nothing left...

Just like my own master...

I have lived with my master since I was a child.I don't know who my parents are, but I only know that my master picked me up on the edge of a cliff. At that time, I was a baby who was poisoned, and my master rescued me little by little with his superb medical skills.

Because I was young, the poison that had penetrated deep into the bone marrow could not be excreted, so the master used the method of fighting poison with poison to transform the deadly poison into my current body that is invulnerable to all poisons.

Thinking of when he was a child, every time he took a medicated bath, he would pull his master's sleeve and act coquettishly, Xing Yuan couldn't help showing a little nostalgia.The feeling of poison entering the body is really uncomfortable, which cannot be explained clearly by just a word of pain.But the time of the medicated bath is what I look forward to the most, because after taking the medicated bath, I can sleep in the arms of the master until I wake up naturally.And during this period, Master will always be by my side...

And that kind of warm feeling is what I miss the most after the master left, and it is also what I can't get the most...

Xing Yuan once thought about it, if, if his master hadn't been killed, what would he be like now?Was he driven down the mountain by his master, and walked around the rivers and lakes in the name of a medical sage apprentice, learning the ways of the world; or was he like the master, living in seclusion among the mountains and forests, and dying in the countryside...

For this answer, Xing Yuan didn't know either.Because in this world, there are not so many ifs.

It's like there will always be that touch of red that is hard to peel off in my memory...

Except for myself, no one knew that what was buried in the medicine puddle in front of that small wooden house was only the upper body of Xing Liu, a medical sage of a generation.

Back then, when I came home from picking herbs, the moment I opened the door, what greeted me was not the warm smile of the master, but the already cold master prostrating on the ground.

Although the master is famous as a medical sage, his martial arts are not weak. According to the master's words, without superb martial arts, how many elixir will he miss that grows on the cliff...

My own martial arts are also inherited from my master.But that's it. When I returned home, Master's body was already cold. Judging from the blood on the ground, Master who had been cut in half was waiting for his return until his death.

Living with Master since childhood, I had a tacit understanding with Master before, but this time, this tacit understanding did not work.

Xing Yuan could imagine how Master, enduring the great pain, slowly crawled on the ground, while feeling the drop in body temperature caused by the loss of blood, while trying to wait for his return, from hope to despair, until the whole body The temperature of the heart is assimilated by the cold ground...

"Crack."

"Guest officer, are you alright?" Seeing Xing Yuan holding the fragment of the teacup in one hand blankly, the well-trained mistress immediately stepped forward to ask.

"Please serve me another cup." Putting the fragment of the teacup in his hand on Xiao Er's towel, Xing Yuan adjusted his mood and asked Xiao Er to serve him another cup of tea.

"Okay." People who can sit in this hotel are either rich or expensive, so Xiaoer didn't say anything, and took the broken teacup down, and served Xing Yuan another cup of hot tea. Tea, and then went back to the previous post.

"Hey, have you heard that Mr. Zhao was killed..."

"Hey, hey, don't talk about it, the rumors about it are quite evil..."

"Yes, yes, I heard that it was found in a long-abandoned garden house in the western suburbs."

"Tell me, how can Mr. Zhao go back there? It has been abandoned for several years."

"Hey, who knows, it is said that when Mr. Zhao died, he still had a big basket of paper money beside him..."

"Don't tell me, I've heard people say that Mr. Zhao seemed to have seen something terrifying when he died. His eyes were wide open, but he didn't have a single injury on his body..."

"You said, it's a pity that Mr. Zhao left like this, his thirteen wives and concubines, and one of them is said to have just bought into the house last month."

"Don't say it, don't say it, bad luck."

Two people sat on the table not far away, and Xing Yuan, who has good hearing, could be said to have heard the conversation between the two people from beginning to end.

Others don't know who owns the abandoned garden house, but Xing Yuan knows that it was once given by the Zhao family to Master, in order to thank Master for saving the Zhao family's late father.That's why Zhao Peng went there to burn paper money.

At that time, Zhao Peng's father was seriously ill, and in the process of seeking medical treatment, he met a master who traveled around the world. At that time, all the doctors invited by the Zhao family shook their heads and left after watching the man. Under such circumstances, Master Saved the life of the head of the Zhao family at that time.At that time, the master did not ask the Zhao family for the consultation fee. Later, when the Zhao family became prosperous, they built a house for the master in the western suburbs of Fengqi City.However, at that time, the master had already lived in seclusion in the mountains, and the Zhao family only politely sent the deed of the house, but the master had never lived in this house for a day.

Later, when Master was killed, I didn't care too much about the house deed when I sorted out Master's belongings. It wasn't until later when I investigated that I found out that shortly after Master left, people from the Zhao family took off the door plaque of that house.

Only a house without an owner would have no door plaque. The Zhao family obviously knew about Master's murder by doing so.

This time I came here to find out what kind of role the Zhao family played in Master's murder back then.

However, after knowing the result, not only did I not feel relieved, on the contrary, it became even more heavy.

Although Zhao Peng is extravagant and lustful, he is also a third-rank official. Even with such a status, if he is just a pawn in this incident, then the person standing behind the Zhao family...

There is only one famous and powerful Xiao family in Fengqi City, and that is the Xiao family in Dongcheng.The current head of the family, Xiao Pinchuan, is the first-rank prime minister of the dynasty, and his younger sister, Xiao Yan, is the most favored concubine Xiao in the imperial city.With the position of queen hanging vacant for more than 20 years, although Xiao Yan is not a queen, she is still in charge of all matters big and small in the harem.

At the beginning, I just wanted to find out the truth about the murder of Master that year, and by the way, get back the body of the other half of Master. However, after so many years, when the investigation finally made progress, I realized that the person I jumped into was not what I thought. It is not a muddy pond, but a swamp with no depth.

"Xiao Weizi, when will you make me a spear..."

"Fourth princess, please respect yourself, men and women can't kiss each other."

At this moment, a somewhat helpless voice caught Xing Yuan's attention.Looking down the window, Xing Yuan couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Wei Zi went out today to cut himself some work clothes that he wore when blacksmithing. After all, these were his own clothes, and it was a bit unreasonable to ask Mu Junan to pay for them all the time.So after signing in at the armory in the morning, because no one took care of him, Wei Zi walked around the armory for a few laps after signing in, and then sneaked out through the small door.Fengqi City is worthy of being at the foot of the imperial city. Along the way, even Wei Zi, who doesn't like shopping, was in high spirits. If his reason hadn't been playing its role in the end, maybe Wei Zi really forgot to buy clothes. something happened.Originally, the stroll was a good place, but who would have thought that halfway through, I would meet the fourth princess, Feng Pingrui, who was dressed in casual clothes.God knows, since that day, this princess has really used her privilege as a princess to hang around Wei Zi's side all day long.In fact, it's not that Wei Zi didn't intend to make this spear for the princess, but now he doesn't have spring water in his hand.Wei Zi has been waiting for the Mu family to transport him here for the past two days.

"Clap!"

"Which shameless..." Here, Wei Zi, who couldn't get rid of the fourth princess, was already full of anger, but there was no place to vent it.Halfway there, I even encountered a teacup that fell from the sky!Wei Zi, who was holding back his anger, raised his head and planned to teach this guy who has no public morality.

But when he looked up, Wei Zi opened his mouth to meet the familiar face. "Princess, I'm sorry, I still have something to do." Before Feng Pingrui could react, Wei Zi jumped up to the second floor of the hotel neatly, and entered through the window. "Ah... Finally got rid of that horrible woman..." Wei Zi turned over and sat on the chair, didn't care if the teacup was used by Xing Yuan, grabbed it and took a sip.

"Wei Zi, long time no see." Xing Yuan, who finally met Wei Zi head-on, couldn't help but twitched his lips.

"Uh... Long time no see." In fact, Wei Zi has already forgotten Xing Yuan's name, after all, someone left without saying goodbye for half a year, and during this period, Wei Zi also experienced a lot of things.But meeting Xing Yuan's deep eyes, Wei Zi's scalp numb. "Xing Yuan." Reflexively said Xing Yuan's name.

"..." Hearing that Wei Zi did not forget himself, the corner of Xing Yuan's mouth curved even wider.

"You are drinking tea here..." After being silent for a long time, Wei Zi finally couldn't help but speak first, but with this opening of his mouth, Wei Zi wanted to slap himself a big mouth.

"It's not time to eat yet." Seeing Wei Zi's embarrassment, Xing Yuan's mood improved. "However, for the sake of helping you get out of a big trouble, you can invite this meal."

Depend on!I've seen shameless people, but I've never seen such shameless people!Wei Zi, who missed Xing Yuan in the state of amnesia very much, gritted his teeth after meeting Xing Yuan's half-smile eyes. "Okay." He touched his waist pocket with a face full of tears.Myself, I just paid, and I haven't covered my salary yet, the master is sorry for you...
