Fengqi crabapple

Chapter 11
In the afternoon, both families were quiet. Xie San and Haitang were sleeping soundly. Master and Feng Tingxiao went out again. Feng Mingze and Ji'er went to town since the morning and never came back.

Xie San didn't wake up until the sound of pots and spoons was heard in the kitchen.

"Sister Haitang, don't torment that fish! Tell me, how many chickens have you tortured to death for practicing nine stitches?" Ji'er said disgustedly.

"You haven't eaten enough chicken anyway...let me take a look at its gills..."

"Be careful with its fin stinger. Don't cry if it pricks you." Mingze said with a brisk smile in his voice, "I'm going to kill it and steam it and eat it later."

"I want to eat braised pork!"

"Okay, if it's braised, it's braised."

Beside the window, Xie San quietly listened to the most common conversation in the family. The afterglow of the setting sun passed through the window lattice, and even the air was slightly red.As if life should be like this, no fighting, no killing, no lies.

Xie San suddenly felt a little worried about gain and loss. She wondered if Haitang would not like it if she was dragged into another life in the future.He couldn't help but clenched his fists.

In this life, love must be deeply loved and never bear the burden.

"Your Highness, your tea." Ling Yun also squinted for a while, full of energy, "Ling Feng is back too, feeding the horses in the back. I'll call him over."

After saying that, Ling Yun went to replace Ling Feng.

"My lord sleeps well," Ling Feng said with a smile on his face, "Feng Mingze and I had a face-to-face meeting in the town. We cooperated with each other very tacitly. Later, the lord took that kid Feng Mingze away. He is quite talented." .”

"What benefit did you gain from him? I sent you to recommend him." Xie San glanced at him.

"I really got something good," Ling Feng smiled more and more: "Your Majesty..." He was next to Xie San's ear, talking in detail.

Xie San was stunned. He didn't expect that there was a shocking case behind this imperial doctor!

It turned out that Feng Mingze was a good spy. He unlocked the door, and Ling Feng went in and found King Xian's file.The serious task in the file was to capture Liu Er, the fugitive who committed a murder in the downtown Kyoto last month, but there was another piece of paper stuffed inside, which was written about the murder of Gu Quan, the imperial doctor.

"Did Feng Mingze see it too?" Xie San asked.

"No, I just told him that Liu Er is a wanted criminal. Besides, Liu Er was caught this morning."

In the twelfth lunar month of last year, Liu Er was selling firewood on the streets of Kyoto. Unexpectedly, his load of firewood hit the horse's leg of Master Li Qi of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion. He was beaten hard by Li Qi. Liu Er couldn't bear it, took out his hatchet and chopped off Li Qi's head. , actually chopped off half of his head.At that time, the Marquis of Zhenbei came to make trouble every day, and the emperor's life was not good.

Unexpectedly, Liu Er also fled to Yuehu Town. "Okay. Ling Yun and I are going to explore the cave tonight. You just stay in the house and sleep. Be alert and take precautions."

"Yes," Ling Feng said with a bitter smile, "Then I'll sleep on the roof!"

After Liu Er was arrested, Jin Yiwei did not leave Yuehu Town, but continued to investigate secretly, which seemed to confirm what Xie San said at noon.Both families were there at dinner, but everyone had their own concerns, and it was not easy to talk too much in front of the woman, so they finished their meal in a hurry.

Haitang, on the other hand, happily ate the braised fish. Seeing Mingze Youqing's disgusted expression of being full of water, Xie San grabbed a few chopsticks of the fish unconvinced.On the way back this afternoon, Ling Feng also saw Mingze's homemade speargun and hit it with one shot.

After dinner, Feng Tingxiao took Mingze to the town again. The master went back to his room early and closed the door, while Haitang and Ji'er went to the front and back of the house to burn small fish fairy grass.Xie San and Ling Yun quietly went out.

After walking two miles, they arrived at the waterfall.Ling Yun pushed aside the bushes with ease and got behind the waterfall.There are overgrown shrubs and weeds here. If you don't look carefully, this cave entrance is really difficult to find.

After getting into the cave and walking for more than a hundred steps through the long and narrow passage, the cave became spacious, and the light from the Huozhezi could not fully illuminate it.Ling Yun lit the torch he brought.Xie San looked at the stone wall and touched it with his hand. He felt that the hole must have been dug for many years to reach this size.A row of small holes one and a half meters high were dug under the stone wall, where a lot of hay and grain were hidden.

There are many bags piled in the last small hole. You can tell they are herbal medicines without opening them.Suddenly, there was a trace of light reflected from the torch in the gap in the bag.

Xie San chuckled and said, "Did they also hide the gold?" Then he moved the medicine bag away, revealing a bronze man almost one meter tall.Ling Yun then bent in and dragged the bronze man out.

This is a naked boy. Although he is a boy, he still has many organs on his body and they are lifelike.Xie San suddenly remembered that he had seen this bronze man before!He once saw two bronze figures in the Taiyuan Hospital, one was a man as tall as an adult, and the other was this boy.It was Xie San's grandfather who asked craftsmen to restore the acupuncture bronze figure according to ancient records.

Xie San stretched out his hand to open the mechanism on the side of the boy's chest. Sure enough, both sides of the chest and back popped open, revealing internal organs carved inside.Looking closer, you can see that there are acupuncture points hollowed out on the surface of the bronze figure, and the names of the acupuncture points are carefully engraved next to them.To the touch, the surface is sealed with a layer of yellow wax.It really has something to do with Tai Hospital!

"Haitang...is this why you learn acupuncture?" Xie San said to himself, and couldn't help but glance at that key part again, his ears felt a little hot, and he said bitterly: "Why is this woman so disrespectful of etiquette, justice and shame! "

Ling Yun put the bronze figure back in its place, and they continued walking into the cave holding torches.The strange thing is that the air in the cave has always been very good and does not feel stuffy. Occasionally, I can feel the wind blowing from the bottom of the cave.

As we walked deeper, the cave turned into a very narrow passage, which could only allow one person to pass through. A tall person like Xie San had to bend his waist and lower his head to ensure that he would not hit his head.The wind in the cave blows from this passage.

"Could it be that they dug through the mountain!" Xie San was filled with admiration.You can hide and retreat in this cave. If you had known Xie Si's purpose in your previous life, how could Yuehu Town be massacred?Xie San was still struggling and couldn't think of a foolproof way to save the people of Yuehu Town. When he saw this cave, he realized that they could completely save themselves.

Walking back along the stone wall, they saw another row of small holes, which were the same size as the ones they saw before, except that they were covered with straw curtains.

Xie San flipped it over and was shocked!Hidden in the hole on this side is actually a firearm!
