Northern Song Dynasty: The City of Qingquan Mystery Case

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Ganqing asked suspiciously, "Did Xiangquan be in a coma before being injured?"

Ozawa said angrily: "Of course it can't be wrong! I checked first, and Mr. Shang Xing checked again—how could this be wrong? Mr. Yi was originally in a coma, and he woke up only after being stimulated by the sword wound; it was also because of the sword wound Only after being poisoned will he fall into a coma again. Do you understand?"

Qianqing ignored her accusation: "Where did Mr. Shangxing go? I have something to ask him."

Ozawa became even angrier now: "Don't mention Mr., he went to West Street! Those people from West Street just came to ask Mr. to see a doctor, emergency! It's that red letter again. For a long time, I refused to drink medicine. If you say that the husband is really kind-hearted, he still goes to that kind of place to see a doctor for that kind of woman! If it were me, I would not go to that kind of place even if I was killed. It is still in the middle of the night, and the outside is not peaceful. ..."

"When will Xiangquan wake up?"

"Tomorrow will be the soonest, and the day after tomorrow if it's too late. Because I don't know the specific composition of the poison, and the injection of an injection to induce vomiting doesn't work, I didn't dare to use strong medicine for treatment. I let Mr. Yi take it quickly while he was awake. Licorice juice and mung bean soup, the medicine has a slow effect and is more beneficial to the human body. After that, Mr. Yi began to feel paralyzed all over. After all, the medicine is too strong, this is unavoidable."

Clear and didn't listen carefully, he closed his eyes and thought.

Did Xiang Quan fight with the Tsing Yi Bandit?If it is true what Ozawa said, what is the real situation and what happened in the alley?Gan Qing wanted to wait for Xiang Quan to wake up and ask him directly.But after tonight, how many variables will be added in vain?

"If you want to talk about the paralysis, it started from the fingers first. After drinking the medicine, Mr. Yi hurriedly asked about the situation of the Yongcheng government office while his mouth was moving. I told him roughly that you are surrounded by ants. Half of what he said, the paralysis The disease spreads all over the body, and the mouth cannot move.”

Qian Qing frowned: "What does Xiang Quan mean when he said 'don't leave what' before he fell into a coma?"

"Who knows, Mr. Yi is usually like a half-fairy, but if you ask me, he is really a weird person, with strange speech and strange demeanor," Ozawa said nonchalantly with a smile, "After I finished talking about the Yongcheng government office, he The eyes can still move, and they keep looking at the bookshelf. Do people who are paralyzed have this reaction, and their eyes are particularly strange? It’s so interesting."

Ganqing didn't speak, and looked at the bookshelf, where there were books, not medical books, just some miscellaneous books.

"Is Xiangquan staring at some book?"

"It looks like you're staring at some book," Ozawa smiled and said, "Is it this, "Historical Records", do you want me to read it to him?"

Qianqing flipped through it, and found that this thin volume is not the whole book, but "The Benji of Xiang Yu".Ganqing felt that waiting was fruitless, so he simply sat down and began to read, waiting for Xiangquan to wake up, and also waiting for news from Mr. Zhao on West Street.This book can be read quickly, and Ozawa excitedly gave him some other books, including many medical books and Fu Shangxing's handwriting, and then went to get a big thick fluffy blanket to clean up.

Ozawa has a happy face today, she is busy and for some reason, the sadness from yesterday is gone.She knew she would not sleep so she went to make tea, although her eyesight was bad, she still fumbled for it.Mr. Shangxing doesn't have much savings in his family, and he doesn't have many candles. Occasionally, he will light wax when he sees a doctor at night, but at this time, he lights a rusty bronze oil lamp, which seems to be found in a second-hand market.The soft light reflected on the clear side face, the outline was like a knife cut, and the eyes were like stars, but at this moment they seemed to be closed, and they were indescribably beautiful.

Seeing his appearance, Ozawa smiled softly and brought out Tieguanyin. The teacup was not fine porcelain, but it was clean.

There was an accident with the watchman today, and there were no watchmen, and it was already past Haishi.

It's clear...it seems to have forgotten something.

He is really not a material for reading, just to relieve boredom, and he feels tired after a while.The aroma of Tieguanyin is rich and noble, fresh and refreshing, like an orchid in an empty valley.Gan Qing never liked jasmine tea, this Tieguanyin is not expensive but it is not bad.So he raised his head to drink tea, and casually asked Ozawa, "Your family has so many books."

Ozawa smiled proudly: "It is said that my husband is knowledgeable, that's for sure. Mr. is not only familiar with medical books, but also these books, poetry, and art of war. He often teaches me. This "The Chronicle of Xiang Yu" "My husband told me to read it too, but I never read it at night to hurt my eyes." After speaking, he picked up a thin volume and smiled.

Gan Qing chatted: "What about Neo Confucianism?"

Ozawa looked at Qianqing curiously, and Qianqing asked again: "It's "Book of Changes" or something."

Ozawa smiled: "Sir, I don't understand much, but he said that it is the first of all scriptures."

Ganqing smiled: "Then your husband can discuss it with Xiangquan. But why do girls read these books?" Ganqing snatched the book back from Ozawa like a joke, flipped through it, and said, "You Do you want to learn from the overlord of Western Chu, or from Yuji? Although Xiang Yu is a hero, he has no choice but to think deeply enough."

"You mean the Hongmen Banquet?"

Ganqing clicked his tongue and said, "It's not just the Hongmen banquet. There are many things that are not recorded in the official history, but there are folk legends. Have you heard of it?"

"My husband never mentioned that."

When you drink the tea dry, you will feel mellow and delicious, and it will slide down your throat, refreshing and sweet, with an endless aftertaste.So I lost my worries, and started talking with great interest: "There is a famous unofficial history story. It is said that Liu Bang was treacherous and used Zhang Liang's trick. When Xiang Yu was trapped in Gaixia, he wrote on the ground with honey that 'the overlord died here' , and finally Xiang Yu killed himself."

Ozawa laughed and said, "Nonsense. The Overlord of Western Chu killed himself when he saw what Mi Tang wrote?"

Qianqing laughed: "If you want me to say it, I blame Xiang Yu for being superstitious and not thinking. You don't know, that word was written by honey. As a result, it attracted—"

When Qianqing said this, his face suddenly changed.

The teacup in his hand trembled slightly, and the tea spilled, causing Ozawa to say "ah" in surprise.He clenched the book in his hand, sat down on the chair, and covered his face with his hands.

Ozawa asked strangely: "What's wrong? What happened?"

Ganqing put down his hands, his face was pale, he subconsciously glanced at Xiangquan who was in a coma, his throat moved: "After that, swarms of ants were attracted."

"so what?"

Gan Qing murmured: "After...then it will be the same as today."

Ozawa was taken aback: "Master Xia, what happened to you? What are you talking about?"

"We made a mistake, completely wrong!" Ganqing was a little excited, he supported the elm table with his arms, tremblingly said, "We were fooled by the strange thief in blue."

He glanced at the unconscious Xiangquan.

I understand.He understands that everything today is a trap.It's just that he has no remedy!

But Ozawa didn't understand. She didn't understand the relationship between Xiang Yu and today's incident, so she hesitated and said: "Master Xia...you are so strange tonight, it has never been like this before. Are you still worried about Mr. Yi? Don't worry, Yi Your son will be fine. If you're worried—"

The night was quiet, and the fire light shone on Ozawa's eyes.She looked at Qianqing vaguely, she was so worried.He didn't pay attention to it, his face was pale.Without saying a word, he started pacing back and forth in the house.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

"What time is it?" Qian Qing asked suddenly.

"Ok?"

"I asked you what time is it?" Qian Qing looked nervous.

"I guess it's about time. If you want to say that the city is in chaos today, but the watchman is actually lazy! There was no watch on the second watch! If my husband didn't go out and see the clepsydra, he would have forgotten any time. Mr. Xia, you—— "

After listening to Ganqing, without further ado, he went out immediately, ignoring Quze who was shouting behind him.Seeing that he ignored him, she didn't say anything. She turned around and silently put away the books on the table, and poured some cool tea.He closed the door gently, thinking to himself, I'm afraid Qianqing will come back again.

Ganqing remembered what Xiangquan said yesterday: Laurel Tree on West Third Street, Zishi City.

Ganqing also clearly remembered Xiangquan's words: "...tomorrow, here and now, see you here or there. No matter what happens, you must be there... Even if I can't keep the appointment."

Qianqing walked quickly to West Third Street, he wanted to find the laurel tree.Qian Qing knew that Xiangquan was in a coma in the hospital, and knew that Xiangquan would never wait for him under the tree, but he still made this somewhat absurd decision, which surprised even himself.

But there is no way to clean up.He knew that with the current situation, if he wanted to turn things around, he had to believe in Xiangquan.

Ganqing only realizes one thing, even if Xiangquan is unconscious, he is smarter than their sober counterparts.

The author has something to say:
