On the first day of August, the new moon is dark.

Although Bao Zheng had doubts about the deaths of several people 25 years ago, the past was too long, so he had to verify all the evidence before him.

He personally led a team to investigate the scene where Lu Hao was intercepted.This place is less than a mile away from Lu's house, even if you take a slow walk, you won't need a stick of incense, but it exits a dark alley leading directly to the side door of Lu's house.

Ten years ago, Lu Hao's only daughter, Lu Peilan, married her door-to-door son-in-law, Hu Wei.After the two got married, Lu Hao gradually delegated authority to his son-in-law Hu Wei. In recent years, he has almost lived in seclusion, and he does not go to the Lu Family Medical Clinic on weekdays.

It can be said that Lu Hao has been nesting at home, and this time he went to make a big scene with Gongsun Ce, which was a rare high-profile act for him, but he was killed on the way home.

Judging from the survey results at the scene, there were four pairs of squatting footprints left behind the four big trees, all of which were in line with those left by adult men.Crouching, intercepting, and evacuating, this team came prepared and chose the right time.The assailant fled very quickly, faster than the Lu family who rushed over, and he didn't even see half of them.

Bao Zheng observed Lu Peilan, who was in tears, and just now she gave a brief account of the family members of the Lu family.Lu Hao's wife passed away many years ago, but Lu Hao never remarried and loved his only daughter very much.Otherwise, Lu Peilan would not be allowed to recruit a son-in-law. Unfortunately, she and Hu Wei have not been able to have a child in ten years. "Madam Lu, please explain in detail the itinerary of your father and husband tonight."

Lu Peilan never expected that in just two hours, she would die first and lose track of her husband.At the moment, she looked as if she would fall if the wind blows, and she was still holding on to answer Bao Zheng's question.

"When Dad left in the afternoon, he explained that he would come back after dinner at the medical center. Husband has the habit of taking a walk after meals every day to digest food. He usually walks from home to the medical center. Tonight, after dinner, he will pick up Dad and go home. Husband does not I like to be accompanied by guards, and the journey will take two to three quarters of an hour, because I have never heard of strongmen in this area, and my husband has always been alone. I didn't expect tonight..."

Lu Hao didn't like to go out, so he brought guards when he went out.

Hu Wei is in charge of everything in the hospital, and he is used to going out alone.

Bao Zheng extracted this point from Lu Peilan's somewhat unclear words, and the relationship between the three masters of the Lu family is naturally very harmonious in Lu Peilan's mouth, but he will have to ask others carefully later.

"Miss Lu, you should also have heard from the family that the perpetrators were evacuating very quickly. There is reason to suspect that they are planning to act tonight. Have you found or heard about Lu's house and Lu's Medical Center in recent days? Did someone suspicious appear?"

Lu Peilan shook her head blankly, "I seldom care about outside affairs. To tell you the truth, Mr. Bao, I have been working hard to take care of my body and take medicine for the past few months, hoping to have a child. This time, the news of Yao Sanniang's death came out. I heard from my father and husband that someone slandered the reputation of the hospital, and the rest have never heard of anything unusual happening."

Well, Lu Peilan is one who doesn't care.

Bao Zheng failed to get any more useful clues from Lu Peilan.According to the preliminary investigation by several police officers, the servants of the Lu family, the staff of the medical clinic, and the neighbors all said that their relationship is very good, and there has been no unpleasant quarrel.

A notice has been quickly issued to find clues to intercept Lu Hao and rob Hu Wei. As for whether there is any news, I am afraid it depends on God's will.

On the other side, Yan Buzhou and Gongsun Ce went out of the city overnight to the Lujia medicine field five miles away from Ansu Gate, where the Suxin Orchid was planted.

The king of the medicine field denied that there were unusual plants planted here, "I have been in the medicine field for ten years, and I have never seen a strange plant. Whether it is the master or the son-in-law in charge, the Lu family has always taken a fancy to the cultivation of medicinal materials. Rumors of misuse of ingredients like that must be false accusations."

"Where is that place?" Yan Buzhou listened to Wang's thoughts all the way, walked around the medicine field, stopped suddenly, and pointed to the corner separated by the stone wall in the northwest. "Let me guess, is it Hu Wei's trial land?"

Director Wang was taken aback abruptly, and nodded, "Yes, when my uncle came to the medicine field, he was asking where to stay at the Yaoxuan. There is a small piece of land inside, and my uncle sometimes tries to plant some new medicinal plants to improve the way of planting medicinal materials."

Gongsun Ce looked around the medicine field again, and they all said that they were facing south, but Hu Wei actually lived in the northwest corner. "When was Yaoxuan built? This location is cold in winter and hot in summer, so it's not comfortable to live in."

Wang Zhangshi explained that it was built six years ago, and Hu Wei ordered it to be built here, saying that he wanted to find a secluded corner that would not interfere with the original layout.

It's quiet, it's really quiet, it's so quiet that it's weird.

Yan Buzhou walked into Wen Yaoxuan, the medicine field in the courtyard was only two centimeters, and there was not even half a plant in the ground.

However, there are still strange auras left in several mud pits, which are consistent with the auras in Yao Sanniang's body, stillborn fetus, and medicine residue.

"Looking at the looseness of the soil here, the plants planted on the ground should have been uprooted half a month ago." Gongsun Ce looked at Wang Zhangshi, "Do they look the same as the Suxin Orchid?"

Wang Guan nodded and shook his head beforehand, "Young master does not allow others to enter the hospital, I just took a look at the door. This time it looks like Suxin orchid, but the leaves are a bit different, rounder than ordinary orchids. It is indeed It was dug out by my uncle half a month ago."

Are the leaves rounder?

Yan Buzhou and Gongsun Ce looked at each other silently, they both knew the description of Huangji, "there is a tree on the bitter mountain, the name is Huanghua, and the leaves are like orchids. It’s not a word”, but the yellow spines are not just rounder than the leaves of normal orchids.

"Director Wang, this land is for trial farming. In my understanding, trial planting means using different fertilizers and changing plant varieties, which means that the medicinal properties of the medicinal materials in this place are not stable. So, who are they used for? body?"

Yan Buzhou asked a very crucial question, "If there is trial planting, there should also be trial medicine? Besides, you said that this time you planted Suxin orchid, what did you plant in the past? But everything grown here will never Sold with the outside, there must be another register entry? So where is the thing?"

Director Wang was thrown into the head with a bunch of questions, and he really couldn't answer any of them, "I..., I don't know about this matter, maybe it was used by my uncle for the free clinic."

"Free clinic?" Gongsun Ce didn't know that there is a free clinic in Lujia Medical Center, "Where did Hu Wei go for free clinic?"

"Every six months, my uncle will go to Bianjing for a free clinic, and he will go for a month, such as Weizhou, Chenzhou and other places."

Wang Zhangshi said that Hu Wei was originally a poor doctor.As an old servant of the Lu family, he felt that Lu Hao chose Hu Wei as his son-in-law because of his potential in medical skills and his kindness on the other hand, so he also supported Hu Wei to go out for free consultations for two months every year.

Whether the heart is good or not, you really can't judge hastily, after all, you know people, you know the face, but you don't know the heart.

Yan Buzhou asked someone to bring a shovel, and she dug the two centimeters of medicine fields in the Yaoxuan for three feet, but found no difference in the ground.Moreover, the soil here is also ordinary from the outside, and the color and texture of the soil are exactly the same as the outside.But growing plants requires nutrients, so what is the survival of heterogeneous plants?

Afterwards, Hu Wei's residences in Yaotian and Lu's family were searched one after another, but there were no more clues about what Hu Wei did in Yaotian, because Hu Wei never left a written record.

At present, it can be inferred that there is a problem with the Lu family, but there is a lack of the most direct and favorable evidence.

There is also something strange, why did the gang of murderers only kill Lu Hao and the four guards? Did they really meet Hu Wei who was walking around?If they met, why didn't they kill Hu Wei on the spot, but let Hu Wei disappear?

Ten days later, when the case was at an impasse, Kaifeng Mansion received a tip-off that the four people who intercepted and killed Lu Hao were found.

Bao Zheng looked at the four people who were tied to the Kaifeng mansion. They were not killers and rogues, and the identity documents found on them proved that they were all good citizens.

"Damn Lu Hao!" The middle-aged man who took the lead didn't have the slightest intention of repenting, "He cured my father. Since the government refuses to give justice, we will ask for it ourselves."

After some interrogation, the four confessed that they were all victims of medical malpractice in the Lujia Medical Center.

Earlier, before Hu Wei entered Lu's family, Lu Hao still went to the clinic from time to time. The family members of these four people were the patients Lu Hao took over.They believed in the name of the imperial physician and did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to seek medical treatment in the capital, but they failed to save the lives of their relatives.

The four of them also had a quarrel, and wanted Lu Hao to give an explanation, but they were too weak to let it go.

Over the years, they have had the idea of ​​revenge. Later, they got to know each other by chance, and finally decided to join forces to kill Lu Hao.

Listening to the narration of the four people, Bao Zheng felt that the road to revenge was really long, and after the incident of Yao Sanniang's death, they felt that they could no longer let the quack doctor live.Before that, the four of them had repeatedly scouted the terrain around Lu's house, and finally waited until the day when Lu Hao went out.

"You said you were taking the role of another person. Xu Cheng originally wanted to participate, but his physical condition has not been good, so it was only the four of you who acted that night. Lu Hao died, and his revenge was avenged. Xu Cheng died. And passed away in peace.”

"That's right! Brother Xu took a step earlier. But now that the great revenge has been avenged, so what if the murder is paid for, the five of us are also happy to be together underground."

The reason why Kaifeng Mansion received an informant was that someone in the coffin shop heard four people with suspicious identities saying that they killed Lu Hao to avenge their brothers.The acquaintance of the four family members of doctors and patients can be said to be the thread drawn by Xu Cheng.They have one thing in common, the last family member died, no one is old and no one is young.

Bao Zheng pinched Xu Cheng's identity document lightly with his finger. He didn't expect that Lu Hao's death was not the same as the suspected professional killer's interception. It was the revenge of a group of patients' family members.What's more, Lu Hao's medical skills really ruined the reputation of the imperial medical department, and I don't know how he became the imperial physician trusted by the queen mother.

If Xu Cheng is the family member of the patient, and thus planned a joint revenge that took ten years to complete, then it should be said that he has a lot of scheming.

If Xu Cheng is not a family member of a patient, but someone who intends to gather these avengers together, then what is his scheming desire?

The case needs to be solved and the money needs to be earned.The two are not in conflict.

After Yan Buzhou returned to Bianjing, she still went to Qushuxuan to tell stories. Although the ghost month had passed, after discussing with Baisheng, she already had her own special storytelling time for ghosts.

Recently, since I met the present world of different plants, I told some related stories, and told those who came to listen to the book that she also collected stories, such as the gossip caused by flowers and plants in Bianjing in recent years, hoping to dig out more. There are many clues of black peony or related heterophytes.

Tonight's work was over, and unexpectedly a rare visitor came.The person who came was Zhao Zhen dressed in coarse cloth, or he should be called Zhao Liu.

Zhao Zhen didn't hide his bad mood, he held a jar of wine, "I heard that Ah Yan is collecting stories, I heard a story about the death of black peony, are you interested in collecting it?"
