[Sword Three + Seven Five] Medicine does not heal itself

On the first day of October, the westerly wind was blowing in Tokyo, and the temperature dropped a lot.But because of Bai Yutang and the new apprentice, Fu Yuxue was not in a hurry to leave the capital.

Ever since she was ordered by her father to pay a visit to her second uncle Fu Yulin's mansion, she and her second aunt Su Shi have also hit it off.Therefore, the second aunt asked Fu Yuxue to go to Huguo Temple to offer incense, and Fu Yuxue happily went with her.

Because she was able to see things that others couldn't see since she was a child, Fu Yuxue still had a selective belief in Buddhism and Taoism.Even in order to sleep peacefully, he often carries Buddhist beads and other things blessed by eminent monks on his body.

As the temperature dropped sharply after winter, Fu Yuxue chose to sit in a sedan chair with Su and her cousin Fu Yuqin.It's just that the sedan chair was approaching the Huguo Temple but met a nobleman and had to avoid it.

Huguo Temple is the largest temple in Kaifeng Prefecture, and it is the first choice for offering incense to both the royal family and the dignitaries in the court.Especially on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, it is very common to meet one or two powerful family members.

Fu Yuxue was not a young lady who was taught by boudoir training. When avoiding it, she naturally opened the car curtain and took a look outside.

The sedan chairs of some dignitaries in the capital will have family marks to avoid being bumped into.Fu Yuxue's eyes fell on the eye-catching mark on the passing sedan chair, and her expression changed.

His white and slender fingers grabbed the car curtain, almost crushing it into rice pieces, and his eyes were even more gloomy and terrifying.It wasn't until the sedan chair disappeared from sight that Fu Yuxue came back to her senses.

After getting off the sedan chair at the Huguo Temple, Fu Yuxue's face still hadn't fully recovered.

"Why is Xiaoxue's complexion so bad?" Su Shi asked with concern.

"Second aunt, don't worry, I guess I'm not used to sitting in a sedan chair!" Fu Yuxue prevaricated.

"I forgot, I think you are used to riding a horse or a carriage, but today you are wronged to come with us in a sedan chair." Su said thoughtfully, completely forgetting that a carriage will only be more bumpy than a sedan chair.

Fu Yuxue accompanied Mrs. Su to go in to offer incense, just as the pilgrims in front were leaving after offering incense.

It was an old lady in her 70s, with silver hair all over her head, but she was very dignified. She was served by an old woman on saddle, followed by a string of servant girls.

Fu Yuxue tilted her head slightly, avoiding the confrontation between the two sides.

"Sister Xue, I heard that Grand Master Pang's mother, Mrs. Pang, passed by just now. Mrs. Pang is already over 70 years old, and she is still so tough." Cousin Fu Yuqin said.

"Really? It's really old and not dead is a thief!" Fu Yuxue sneered.

"What did Sister Xue say?" Fu Yuqin asked.

"It's nothing, let's go quickly! Otherwise, Second Aunt will be worried later!" Fu Yuxue pulled Fu Yuqin to catch up with Su Shi.

In the Kaifeng mansion, it was already late at night, but Master Bao's study room was still lit.

"It's so late, my lord, why haven't you rested yet?"

Bao Gong looked up at the person who came, but it was Gongsun Ce, and sighed: "Mr. Gongsun, didn't you have a rest?"

"The prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Kaifeng Prefecture have successively committed major crimes. This flower picker is so rampant, I don't know how many innocent women should be killed. How can the students rest in peace!" Gongsun Ce sighed.

"In less than a month, nine women were victimized, and six of them were humiliated and committed suicide. The remaining three lost their virginity, and their lives would be worse than death. This flower picker is really rampant!" Bao Gong said angrily, his tone did not prevent the crime from happening. Pity.

Baogong was troubled all night, because of the recent cases of flower picking thieves/humiliating the daughters of rich and powerful families in Kaifeng City and nearby counties.The flower picker not only commits crimes continuously, but also sticks the victim's small clothes on the city wall every time.As a result, most of the victimized women committed suicide due to humiliation.

This incident caused panic in the Kaifeng mansion, and it has already alarmed the officials, and everyone in the government and the public know about it.It attracts daily court meetings, the emperor often asks questions, and Pang Taishi, who bears hatred for Bao Zheng's murder of his son, often adds fuel to the fire on the sidelines, making Bao Gong sleepy at night.

"The students looked at the profiles of the nine victims. Except that they were all female relatives of wealthy families, or daughters of prostitutes or concubines, they didn't have much in common. If you want to pass the crime style, it is not necessary to set up ambush in advance. Easy. The students noticed another point, all of these victimized female family members are the most favored by the masters at home. In addition, although the handkerchiefs left by the flower pickers at the scene of the crime are made of real silk, they are not uncommon."

Not to mention that Bao Gong and Gongsun Ce stayed up all night for the case of the flower picker. They searched the case files and only hoped to find effective clues to solve the case as soon as possible.Zhan Zhao and the Four Gate Gods have also stepped up patrols in the streets where dignitaries live, hoping to catch flower pickers in Japan.

In Baicaotang, Fu Yuxue returned to her small courtyard with dew all over, only to find that Bai Yutang was sitting in the courtyard with neat clothes.

"It's late at night and the dew is heavy. Is the fifth master so happy to enjoy the moon?" Fu Yuxue slowed down and smiled.

He didn't look up at all to see that the half-string crescent moon was already covered by dark clouds.

Bai Yutang shook his head: "I'm not as interested as Xiaoxue, and I can go to the Grand Master's Mansion by taking a walk!"

Fu Yuxue's face darkened: "Are you following me?"

"Fifth Master is not so free!" Bai Yutang saw Fu Yuxue's expression was serious, and finally said, "The flower pickers in Beijing frequently commit crimes. Originally, I wanted to catch them before Zhan Zhao, so I could embarrass him. But I didn't expect to find Xiaoxue Such a good taste. Could it be that you are also interested in flower pickers?"

"I'm just a doctor. It's better to hand over the flower picking thief to heroes like the imperial court and the fifth master!" Fu Yuxue said, "As for me going to the Grand Master's Mansion, since the fifth master can break into the forbidden palace at night, why don't you go to me? Take a stroll around the back garden of Taishi Mansion?"

"Just strolling around the back garden of the Grand Master's Mansion?" Bai Yutang was stunned.

"If Fifth Master Bai has been following me, he should know that I just wandered around the Grand Master's Mansion and didn't do anything."

This is what is strange about Bai Yutang.

Tonight, he originally wanted to go out to find out if the flower pickers would come out to commit crimes.It's just that I didn't expect to find that Fu Yuxue also went out late at night by accident.

I thought that Fu Yuxue's target was the flower pickers. After all, although Fu Yuxue's temper is a little weird, but in terms of his acting style, he is quite chivalrous.

I don't want Fu Yuxue to be very purposeful when she leaves Baicaotang, not just aimlessly guessing where the flower pickers might appear.Bai Yutang thought that Fu Yuxue was well-informed, and he might not necessarily know any clues, so he followed him all the way.

Of course, the fifth master would never admit that he was worried that Fu Yuxue's martial arts would not be able to deal with the flower picker who made the government helpless.

Logically speaking, although Fu Yuxue's martial arts were not as advanced as Bai Yutang's, it was not easy for Bai Yutang to follow her.However, Fu Yuxueqian seemed to be unsteady tonight, and he never noticed that Bai Yutang was following him.

Bai Yutang followed her, watching her walk around the Grand Master's Mansion almost all over, but left without doing anything, he was suddenly suspicious.

Fu Yuxue knew that Bai Yutang was not someone who could deal with it easily, so she sighed: "I have some old grievances with the Grand Master's Mansion, and it has nothing to do with the flower pickers. Fifth Master, if you have time, why don't you think about how to compare?" Zhan Zhao catch the flower picker first!"

Bai Yutang glanced at her and said, and finally said: "Although Fifth Master doesn't know how you provoked the Grand Master's Mansion, if you can't handle it, please come and beg Fifth Master. Perhaps Fifth Master has shown kindness and will help you." !"

What Bai Yutang said was awkward, but Fu Yuxue understood his kindness and did not refuse.

She is always a little different from the women of this era, and she doesn't have any girlfriends.The mood is a little weird, since he left the rivers and lakes, he still has no friends.

But Bai Yutang, even though the two of them always had a few venomous words when they met.But each other regards each other as friends in their hearts.Otherwise, even if Bai Yutang didn't want to see the other four mice for the time being, he didn't need to come to Baicaotang to find Fu Yuxue.

"If there is such a time, just don't shirk it!" Fu Yuxue was slightly relieved, and smiled lightly.

"Hmph~ It's just the Grand Master's Mansion, Fifth Master is not afraid!"

"Of course, Fifth Lord Bai dared to break into the forbidden palace, let alone a grand master's mansion." Fu Yuxue laughed.

"You—you really don't know what to do!"

Looking at the back of Bai Yutang leaving angrily, Fu Yuxue's eyes darkened.She could understand Bai Yutang's kindness, but she didn't want Bai Yutang to get involved in this matter.

The next morning, Kaifeng mansion's drum to cry out for grievances sounded again, but it was the housekeeper of Bao Zheng's old enemy Pang Taishi who came.

The No. 10 victim of the flower picker appears, and the new victim is the grand master's concubine.

Originally, Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao led people to the inspection site.This time the crime happened at the Grand Master's Mansion. In order not to make things difficult for the people in Kaifeng Mansion, Mr. Bao had to go there himself.

It's not that Bao Gong paid special attention to Pang Taishi's residence.It's just that he knows this old enemy quite well, and he is worried that Gongsun Ce and Zhan Zhao will be made things difficult.

Inspecting the scene, this time there was an unexpected discovery.A maid in Pang's mansion suspected that she saw the flower picker, and was tapped by the other party.When people from Kaifeng Mansion arrived, the servant girl's acupoints had already been released, and the person who questioned her was Zhan Zhao.

"You said you saw a thief, but can you see his appearance?"

"Master Hui Zhan, there seems to be more than one flower picker. For the first person, the servant only saw a black corner of his clothes, and then he was hit in the chest. After he stopped, he saw a white shadow flying past in front of him! The servant did not see it. The appearance of a flower picker."

"You mean two people, one in black and the other in white? Hitting acupuncture points in the air, the latter one didn't even change his night clothes, so he seems to be a master." Zhan Zhao said to himself, "Do you know which one hits your acupoints? Can you see clearly what the opponent hit you with?"

"I didn't see clearly." The little maid timidly replied, "It should be the one in white at the back."

"Lord Zhan, look at this!" Zhan Zhao was in deep thought when he heard Zhao Hu's voice behind him.

What Zhao Hu held in his hand was a black jade flying locust stone, and Zhan Zhao took the black jade flying locust stone with a feeling of déjà vu.

"Master Zhan, this servant has remembered, it seems to be this stone that hit this servant." The little servant girl hurriedly explained.

Zhan Zhao nodded, held the Moyu Flying Locust Stone in his palm, and returned to the scene of the incident, only to find that Grand Master Pang was there.

Grand Master Pang's complexion is not very good, being humiliated by a concubine is like a slap on the face of the current Grand Master.At this moment Grand Master Pang was so angry that he didn't even have the mood to argue with Bao Zheng.

"Does the exhibition guard have any clues?"

"One thing, the one who knocked down the little girl in the yard should be a martial arts master. According to what the girl said, she saw two people. Zhan Zhao will go back and ask his friends in the world if there are any similar martial arts people in Kaifeng recently. " Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, and then said: "My lord, Zhan Zhao suspects that the person that little maid saw might not be a flower picker."

"Oh, why did Zhanwei make such a guess?" It was Mr. Gongsun who asked the question.

"The flower picker is able to commit crimes continuously because of his caution. We have been unable to find any clues. The flower picker usually commits crimes alone, and the evidence we know has never shown that he has an accomplice. What the maid saw was two people The most important thing is that it is impossible to let off people who may have seen her with the ferocity of the flower picker who commits crimes continuously. If the little girl finds out that it is a flower picker, I am afraid it will not be as simple as being tapped."

"Guard Zhan's words are justified!" Bao Zheng thought for a moment, then turned to Grand Master Pang and said, "Why don't Grand Master go to the study and warehouse to see if there is something missing?"

If the person who broke into the front yard was not a flower picker, then it is likely that he was running for the valuables in the study or warehouse of the Grand Master's Mansion.Hearing Bao Zheng's reminder, Grand Master Pang turned pale with shock, and hurried to the study regardless of his sad concubine.

Taishi Pang checked carefully, and there was no valuables stolen from the study or even the house.It's just that Zhan Zhao already felt that the person the maid saw was not a flower picker, but who would enter the Grand Master's Mansion at night?
