[Comprehensive martial arts] I'm sick to take drugs

Surabaya City, Chidi Dun.

Bai Yutang rode past and saw a group of people sweating profusely, busy with river construction.But looking at its progress, it is not far from completion.Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Bai Yutang's mouth.

At the beginning, Bai Yutang came to Beijing for the title of Zhan Zhao's "Royal Cat", and ran into Yan Chasan who was going to Beijing to rush for the exam.When Bai Yutang first met him, he saw that he was an upright person, so he became friends with him, and changed his name to Uncle Jin Mao, while Yan Chasan had no intention of resentment.Later, Bai Yutang revealed his identity and sworn brothers with him with different surnames.

Yan Chasan was full of knowledge, and won the first prize in the palace examination, and his official career has been prosperous since then.Now it is precisely because of Mr. Bao's recommendation that the emperor has promoted Yan Chasan to be a patrol inspector, inspecting floods and managing river workers and people's conditions.

Fan Jiangshu Jiang Pingshui is highly skilled, and because of his relationship with Bai Yutang, Yan Chasan and Yan Chasan have a good relationship, and they happened to be free, so they came to Surabaya together.

When Bai Yutang arrived in Sishui City, the first thing he met was his fourth brother.

Jiang Ping saw a horse in white clothes coming from a distance, first he wondered why this figure looked so much like his fifth brother, and then he took a closer look, it turned out to be his fifth brother.

Bai Yutang also looked from a distance, and saw a yellow and thin man with the shape of a sick man standing under the plaque of the yamen, and immediately recognized it as his fourth brother.

When the horse stopped, there was a cloud of dust. Jiang Ping waved his hands and watched Bai Yutang get off the horse in wonder, his movements were smooth and unrestrained. Come to see me."

"You think too much, I'm here to investigate the case."

Bai Yutang took the reins of the horse, and Jiang Ping looked at him in surprise.The two turned around and entered the yamen, Jiang Ping said: "I heard elder brother say that you went to Chenzhou with Mr. Bao, I thought you were on a whim, didn't you?"

Bai Yutang laughed and said, "That time it was indeed a whim. But not this time, this time the case is too interesting, I really want to find out about it."

Jiang Ping pondered how weird a case could be to make Chinchilla find it interesting.

After the two met Yan Chasan, Yan Chasan was surprised at first, and then joyful. He asked people to prepare meals to clean up Bai Yutang.

While waiting, Bai Yutang briefly talked about the main emissary of Pang Yufei in the Chenzhou case, and said that his purpose of coming here was to find out Xu Yiwei's life experience.

When Bai Yutang mentioned in a slightly disgusted tone that "there is a magic stick who calculated that the Prince of Xiangyang is the mastermind", Yan Chasan and Jiang Ping looked at each other, their expressions moved slightly.

Bai Yutang saw it clearly, and asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Yan Chasan said: "The magic stick mentioned by Yidi should be considered pretty good."

Bai Yutang: ...

Yan Chasan recounted all the things he had encountered since the flood control.

When Yan Chasan first arrived in Sishui City, the people of Chididun accused the water monster of disturbing the people.The people were already suffering from floods, but recently there were ghosts in the water, who often appeared to hurt people and demolished the huts, leaving the people in Chididun nowhere to go.

Yan Chasan went to Xixu Mountain to watch the water the next day, and Jiang Ping took several guards to Chididun to find out the true face of the water monster.When the water monster appeared in the night, after they caught the water monster together, they found that someone was covered in animal skins and robbed the people of Chididun.

Jiang Ping took the "water monster" back to the yamen. Yan Chasan interrogated them overnight and learned that the water monster was a water thief in the Sanhuang Temple two or three miles downstream of Chididun. There were 13 people in total.During the day they plundered ships, and at night they pretended to be water monsters to terrorize the people.

They intimidated the people so that they could tear down the embankment after they left. After another interrogation, they found out that they were the followers of King Xiangyang, and they acted as water monsters to scare people at night according to orders.

The king of Xiangyang sent them here to cause chaos, firstly to harm the people, and secondly to consume the state's money; if things go on like this, the boats will detour here, and the residents will live far away.

The King of Xiangyang had the heart of disobedience--this fact shocked Yan Chasan, and he took his men and horses to the Temple of the Three Emperors to capture the remaining twelve water thieves the next day.

The leader of the thirteen water thieves is named Wu Ze, and all 13 of them are currently in prison. When the project is completed, they will be sent to Beijing for interrogation.Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and the news has not been passed on. So far, King Xiangyang still does not know about Wu Ze and others being arrested.

Yan Chasan spoke so dryly that he took a sip of the tea.

... Is what Yan Liang said really right?

After hearing this, Bai Yutang pondered for a moment, and said: "Now we just need to find out the connection between Xu Yiwei and Prince Xiangyang's son. By then, with the water thief's confession, the charges against Prince Xiangyang's family will be confirmed, and Pang Yu's injustice will be cleared." .”

Yan Cha san nodded and said yes, while Jiang Ping asked: "Just now you said that there is a magic stick who figured out that the Prince of Xiangyang's son is related to the Chenzhou case. I wonder who is an expert?"

Even though he asked this question, Jiang Ping also had a joking mentality.When Bai Yutang mentioned the magic stick, his words were disgusting, but there was a brisk smile on his face, presumably because he got along very well with that person.

Bai Yutang heard the words and said: "That kid is not considered an expert, he is about the same age as me, his name is Yan Liang, he is a fortune teller with some skills."

Jiang Ping said meaningfully: "So he is a capable fortune teller? After returning to Bianliang, I will definitely let him do the fortune telling for me."

Jiang Ping is very familiar with Bai Yutang's temperament. He doesn't like things about ghosts, and he doesn't even like witches and magic sticks.Now that he can say "he is a capable fortune teller" in person, he must be a very hit-and-miss person.

Bai Yutang choked, remembering that he told Yan Liang that he would never believe him...

Yan Chasan said longingly: "To be recognized by my righteous brother, I must have a chivalrous heart similar to that of my righteous brother and Mr. Zhan."

Bai Yutang: "..."

Chivalrous?Zhan Zhao really deserves it, but Yan Liang is hard to say.

"My lord, the meal is ready. Do you want to eat?"

When someone came to remind him, Jiang Ping got up first, walked towards the door, and said with a smile: "Let's go eat quickly, fifth brother, after you eat, hurry up and inquire about the news, then we will go back to Bianliang together."

After the three of them had dinner together, Yan Chasan was going to inspect the river engineering situation, and Jiang Ping also went together.Bai Yutang found a local guard and asked him to lead the way.The three of them parted ways.

The guard grew up in Sishui City, and he was deeply impressed by Mr. Chen mentioned by Bai Yutang. He was an idiot who was keen on carving jade.It can be said that all the local jade comes from him.

Bai Yutang stroked the jade pendant of Little Persimmon, thoughtful.

When we arrived at the door of Mr. Chen's house, the guard knocked on the door. The room was silent for a long time, and then knocked on the door again, and a angry roar came from inside: "Don't knock! Here we come!"

As soon as the voice fell, the door was opened.The old gentleman who opened the door looked at the two of them with a displeased expression.

The guard bowed and introduced Bai Yutang to him.

"This is Yan Xunyan's brother-in-law. He is from Kaifeng Mansion. I want to ask you something."

Mr. Chen was a little surprised. It was the first time someone came to him to handle a case after living here for so many years.

The guard still had work to do, so he left Mr. Chen's house after the introduction.Bai Yutang followed Mr. Chen into the house. The old man poured him a cup of tea, and then asked him, "What do you want from me?"

Bai Yutang handed him the letter from the shopkeeper of Yurunzhai, and said, "Your junior brother asked me to bring it to you, you will know it after reading it."

Mr. Chen took the letter, opened the envelope, and couldn't help laughing after reading the contents of the letter.Looking up at him again, he asked, "Show me the jade pendant. If I carved it, I might be able to find out where it came from."

Bai Yutang handed him the jade pendant, Mr. Chen took a look at it, and said firmly, "This is the Xu family's jade pendant."

Bai Yutang didn't expect him to recognize him so quickly, but he was surprised by what he said, "It's Xu, not Xu?"

Mr. Chen snorted softly, "Can I still forget what I carved myself?" He paused for a moment, with a somewhat disappointed look on his face. "Besides, this family...I'm afraid I will never forget it in my life."

Bai Yutang's expression turned serious, "What happened to the Xu family?"

Old Mr. Chen glanced at him, returned the jade pendant to him, and said, "The Xu family is gone now, and it was destroyed by a fire in 13."

... 13 years ago?

Bai Yutang narrowed his eyes.

"Back then, the Xu family was the most enviable family in Surabaya City." Mr. Chen lamented, "It's a pity that God was unfair and suffered a terrible disaster."

……

When Bai Yutang returned to the yamen, he asked people to find out the dossier about the fire in Xu's house in Sishui City 13 years ago.

Thirteen years ago, the Xu family consisted of twelve people.Patriarch Xu, Mistress of the Patriarch, Sister of the Patriarch, Young Master Xu, and eight servants.All twelve people died in the fire, and none survived.

Who is Xu Yiwei?

If Little Persimmon's mother is really Xu Yiwei's aunt, how did she escape from the fire and live in Epiphyllum Village?

According to his age, Xu Yiwei could only be Young Master Xu, but there were indeed 12 corpses counted back then.

Bai Yutang flipped through the files, staring at the "12 people" and frowning in thought.

After contemplating for a long time to no avail, Bai Yutang closed the file and went to find the assistant who was in charge of the Xu family fire case.

If you can't see anything just by looking at the file, then go find someone who has seen the corpse with his own eyes and observed the corpse up close.

The author was in his prime 13 years ago, and now he is a little old, and the marks left by time on his face are very obvious.

"The Xu family...?"

Wei Wuzuo was caught off guard by such a question, his face showed some clues, and his eyes flickered.

"The Kaifeng government's investigation is related to the Xu family. If you know it, tell it early, don't hide it."

Bai Yutang looked down at him condescendingly, his arrogance made Wei Yuzuo sweat beads on his forehead.

"I-I said..."

Wei Wuzuo wiped his forehead, thinking that he, who saw so many corpses, was actually sweated by a big living person, and if people knew about it, he might be laughed to death.

"There were indeed twelve corpses back then, including adults and children... However, there was one person, the corpse of Miss Xu. The corpse had been burned like charcoal at that time, and the face could not be seen clearly. When I checked the corpse, I found an embedded body from the waist The token in the meat, there is a word on that token..."

"Do you still have the token?"

"I lost it...it belonged to a dead person after all..." Seeing Bai Yutang's frown, Wei Yuzuo continued hesitatingly, "But I remember very clearly that the side with words on the token is on the inside. The characters are still very clear, it is the word 'Zhao Qi'."

Zhao Qi?Zhao?

Bai Yutang subconsciously thought of Prince Xiangyang's family.

"Why didn't you tell me about this?" Bai Yutang said coldly, "The Xu family is most likely being retaliated against, and the fire was not an accident."

Wei Wuzuo lowered his head in embarrassment, "One thing more is worse than one thing less... If I say it, I may be retaliated against."

After all, he was the villain who set twelve people on fire at once. Even though Wei Yuzuo had only a guess at that time, he didn't dare to take the risk to say it.

Bai Yutang sighed silently, and then asked: "Then do you remember what's wrong with Young Master Xu's corpse?"

"No...that is indeed Young Master Xu, with the same age and body shape."

...In that case, who exactly is Xu Yiwei?

Bai Yutang frowned, "Did the corpses of the twelve members of the Xu family all look like charcoal?"

"Yes."

That fire turned a happy family into ashes. The magistrate at that time did nothing and left all the matter of confiscating the corpses to Wei Yuzuo.At that time, the body was burned badly, and Wei Wuzuo found the strange token again. Fearing that someone was seeking revenge, the case was finally closed by fire.

The token with the word "Zhao Qi" was thrown away by Wei Wuzuo, and the twelve members of Xu's family were also buried under Jiuquan. Today, 13 years later, there is no way to investigate the case again.

Bai Yutang waved Wei Yuzuo to leave, and stood in the courtyard looking at the full moon in the lake and meditating.

It was getting late, and the backyard was quiet, Yan Chasan and Jiang Ping hadn't returned from going out, Bai Yutang stood alone in the yard, listening to the insects and frogs.

The little black man listening to the corner in the dark only heard Bai Yutang telling Wei Yuzuo to leave, but Bai Yutang didn't leave for a long time, and was puzzled for a while.He was thinking about the profound meaning of Bai Yutang's actions, when a shadow came over his head, the little black man had no time to react, he was strangled severely by the back of the neck, and knelt down in pain.

Bai Yutang climbed over the wall, and indeed saw the eavesdropper, restrained him, smiled recklessly, and said, "Want to eavesdrop on Fifth Master Bai's corner? No way!"

It was only then that the little black man realized that Bai Yutang had discovered him long ago, and he deliberately waited for him to finish listening before he came to arrest him.

When Yan Chasan and Jiang Ping came back from inspection, Bai Yutang gave them a big surprise.

"This man has been following me all the way, and just overheard my conversation. The two elder brothers should interrogate him for me."

Yan Chasan stared at the bundled person in the middle and fell silent.

How did his brother-in-law tie people up like this?

Bai Yutang supported the door frame, his brows and eyes could not help but be proud.

Hearing the words, the man moved his body with difficulty, looked at Bai Yutang behind him, opened and closed his lips, but couldn't speak.

Bai Yutang smiled and said, "Do you think I haven't discovered you? Bai Wuye's martial arts are superior to yours. Even if you change your appearance, your breath and pace will not change."

... Miscalculation, miscalculation.

Seeing that Bai Yutang didn't respond along the way, he still thought that this person didn't deserve his name.

There was a bit of annoyance on this man's face, Bai Yutang could see it clearly, and asked, "Who sent you here?"

"The prince of Xiangyang."

The man has decisively betrayed his master.

Bai Yutang: "...Don't you think you are too decisive?"

"I didn't regard him as my real master." The man curled his lips, and the expression on his face was a bit hot, "Did Pang Yu tell you that someone let him go halfway? "

Yan Chasan and Jiang Ping didn't know about it, but Bai Yutang knew it clearly.

He raised his eyebrows, "Could it be that person..."

"It's down."

The man shook his hands that were tied behind his back, and said, "Let me go?"

Bai Yutang snorted coldly, "Report your name before that."

"Shen Miao, the girl from the Xu family is my junior sister."

The man said every word, his mung bean-sized eyes stared at him seriously.

Bai Yutang: "..."

He thought of the tattered book that little persimmon cherished, and there were indeed many strange poisons recorded in that book.

The case of Chenzhou has attracted so many people...

Pang Yu, how miserable is he?

Bai Yutang thought so.

The author has something to say: Here I come——

The city of Surabaya here is the piece of Hongze Lake in Jiangsu.

Thank you little angels for cheering for me, I will work hard!There is still the last exam, after the exam, you can go home for the new year hahahahaha
