incense as a medium

Chapter 94
Liu Bailu raised his eyebrows and asked, "But one who sells needles and thread, one who combs hair, one who sells hair oil, and one who sells gadgets for children?"

"Huh? Mrs. Qi knows it very well." Qing'er laughed.

Liu Bailu's expression became serious instead, and said: "I came out of my house today and these people are near Tongluo Lane. I walked around the street, and these people followed me in turns. When I came here, it wasn't I came directly to the main entrance of the house, but the back door. I know that the people living at the back door are servants from nearby families. If the shopkeepers pass by, they will definitely be stopped to look at something. When I entered the alley, I found those people After stopping, I looked at me frequently, and I was more concerned."

Du Shuang got up and said, "No, I have to tell my father to have them arrested so that they can be interrogated, and stop being Tatar spies."

Du Shuang left as soon as she said she wanted to, but Liu Bailu didn't stop her. She let the maids put away the table and went to sit in the flower hall.

But after more than a quarter of an hour, Du Shuang came in again in a hurry. As soon as she entered the door, she said, "You guessed right, those people were ordered to come here, they seem to be some kind of scholar."

"Scholar?" Liu Bailu frowned slightly, unable to think of any scholar he had offended.

"It's Feng Xiucai!" Du Shuang remembered with a high-five, and seeing Liu Bailu's expression moved slightly, she asked, "You know this Feng Xiucai?"

Liu Bailu didn't hide anything, and told about Feng Xiucai's visit to propose marriage that day, and then bowed his head in silence for a long while.

Du Shuang muttered over there: "I think it must be that Feng Xiucai held a grudge because he failed to propose marriage, so he hired someone to follow you. But what does today's matter have to do with Feng Xiucai?"

Liu Bailu closed his eyes slightly, stringing together today's events from beginning to end.

Qi Ding's family wrestled and invited a doctor, and the Tatars came to the door, Qi Pei'an was taken into captivity, and Qi Ding's family went mad.

No, not right!

Liu Bailu shook his head, the Tatars came to the door with premeditation, then it was the Tatars premeditated, Qi Ding wrestled and asked for a doctor, the Tatars took advantage of the fact that there was no one at home, and Qi Ding went mad.

But there are three doubts:

One: Why did the Tatars kidnap Qi Pei'an?

Two: Did the Tatars really only bring so many people?Is there any help?If there are helpers, where are those helpers?

Three: Will Qi Dingshi really go crazy because of such a little stimulation?
No, absolutely not.

Having been together for three years, Liu Bailu dare not say that he understands Qi Ding thoroughly, but he also knows that Qi Ding will definitely not go crazy because of such a trivial matter.

The doctor was found by himself, and that doctor's medical skills are also well-known in Yongkangguan, not to mention that he invited the doctor here temporarily today, Qi Ding definitely has no chance to bribe the doctor.

So, how did Qi Dingshi go crazy?

Liu Bailu frowned tightly, and didn't even notice that Du Heng came in.

Seeing Liu Bailu bowing his head in thought, Du Heng asked Du Shuang in a low voice, "What's wrong with her?"

Du Shuang took his elder brother to the side for a few steps and told him what he had just discovered. Du Heng thought about it, turned around and went out, and asked those shopkeepers threateningly. When he was walking back, there was someone at the door Announcement: "Master, Mr. Qi is looking for you at the concierge, no, he is looking for our young lady."

"Oh?" Du Heng was surprised, isn't Qi Ding crazy?What's the matter with Qi Peiyun coming to find his sister now?He thought for a while and said, "Come on, I'll go with you to have a look."

When Du Heng arrived at the concierge, he was startled when he saw Qi Peiyun nestled in the chair. He saw Qi Peiyun when he left the city today. He was fine then, why is he so haggard now?He stepped forward and asked, "Brother Qi, what's the matter with you?"

Qi Peiyun raised his eyelids to look at Du Heng, and said: "Why is it you? Forget it, you are the same, but my wife has been here?"

"Mrs. Qi?" Du Heng was even more surprised. Could it be that Liu Bailu didn't tell Qi Peiyun when he came over?He waved to the servants behind him to let them go down, and when the door was closed, he sat beside Qi Peiyun and asked, "Mrs. Qi is gone?"

Qi Peiyun touched his face, and said: "I had some misunderstandings with her. She went out out of anger. I thought she had returned to her natal family, but after thinking about it carefully, it was impossible. I went to the tea shop, and the people there said I haven’t seen her, nor have anyone else. After thinking about it, she doesn’t know anyone in Yongkang Pass, so I’ll come over and ask.”

this……

Du Heng hesitated for a while, Qi Peiyun happened to look up and saw it, jumped up and grabbed his shoulder and asked: "You have seen her, haven't you! You have seen her! Is she here with you!"

When Du Heng saw that he had been guessed, he stopped hiding it and nodded.

Before he could open his mouth, Qi Peiyun rushed out. Du Heng's "but..." remained in his throat, and the exit turned into a gust of wind.

Qi Peiyun rushed out of the door of the concierge and bumped into a person head-on. He quickly supported the person, looked closely, and said in surprise: "Miss Ying?"

"Brother Pei Yun," Ying Mo looked at Qi Peiyun with a blushing face. She ran out after watching Qi Peiyun come out. She was really bumped into her arms, but it was too short. Ying Mo was very nostalgic for that With a breath, he couldn't help but leaned forward again, and said, "Did you find Sister Liu?"

Qi Peiyun nodded, with his arms stretched out straight, he refused to approach Ying Mo, seeing her standing still, he immediately let go and took a step back, saying: "It's probably at Du's house."

Qi Peiyun's attitude of refusing people thousands of miles away made Ying Mo pouted unhappy, but he excused Liu Bailu in his mouth: "Brother Peiyun, don't take what they say to heart. Being bullied for a long time, want to It is human nature to resist revenge, but Sister Liu is such a nice person, gentle and virtuous, she is the No. 1 woman in the capital, and she gives away a lot of scriptures every year, so she definitely won't be the kind of cruel and merciless person. Aunt's The illness should be an accident, I know quite a few famous doctors in Yongkangguan, I will invite them to see my aunt at home one by one, and I will definitely be able to cure my aunt."

Qi Peiyun looked at Ying Mo. The two had known each other for at least seven or eight years. It can be said that Ying Mo almost grew up under his watch. Even the slightest bit of emotion on her face could not be hidden from his own eyes. Although the face is worried, there is a hint of excitement hidden in the eyes, which is a kind of expectation to achieve the goal.

Thinking about what happened around him these days, Qi Peiyun didn't rush to find Liu Bailu any more, but stood there and meditated.

When Du Heng went out, he saw Qi Peiyun and Ying Mo standing face to face. Ying Mo's affectionate gaze and Qi Peiyun's silent posture made Du Heng think that Liu Bailu's departure was probably because of Ying Mo's relationship. Scratching his head, he thought for a moment and quietly slipped away from the corner.

Liu Bailu thought for a long time and couldn't figure it out, so he got up and walked to the desk, and picked up his pen.

Seeing this, Du Shuang hurried forward to help grind the ink. She really wanted to know what Liu Bailu was thinking.

Today's matter has passed countless times in Liu Bailu's mind, and she pondered for a while before starting to write.

The Tatars came to Yongkang Pass, wrestled and asked for a doctor, but the Tatars came to kidnap people and went crazy.

Doubts:

One: Why did the Tatars kidnap Qi Pei'an?

Two: Did the Tatars have helpers, and where did they go?

Three: Does a little stimulation drive people crazy?
Liu Bailu put down the pen after writing these, stood in front of the table and stared at the paper in silence.

Du Shuang looked sideways, not understanding, and said, "Sister Liu, what's so interesting about this?"

Unknowingly, Du Shuang's address to Liu Bailu has changed from "Mrs. Qi" and "Sister-in-law" to "Sister".Even she herself didn't notice the change.

Liu Bailu frowned, and said: "I always feel that there are some key points that I didn't think through."

"Where?" Du Shuang looked at what was written on the paper again. She didn't understand the first and third, but the second thought that those Tatars couldn't possibly be the dog blood that didn't show up because something happened to get in their way. The reason, then... Her eyes lit up: "Someone took care of those helpers?"

"The key is who can do it." Liu Bailu said and glanced at Du Shuang. In fact, she already had the answer in her heart, but she didn't know what the purpose of that person was.

Du Shuang nodded: "Yes, who has such a powerful force to do this?"

Yongkang Guan was under the rule of Du Zhifu, so I dare not say that it never closed its doors at night, but after all, there were no gangs or cliques, at most it was some street gangsters who did everything except murder and set fire. Not to mention the fact that there are forces that can eat the vicious Tatars.

Du Shuang looked at the handwriting on the paper, and suddenly remembered something, she snapped her fingers suddenly, and said, "I remembered!"

"What?" Liu Bailu hurriedly asked.

As soon as the words came out of her mouth, Du Shuang regretted it. She looked at Liu Bailu hesitantly and didn't know how to speak.

Liu Bailu couldn't figure out the last one. If she figured out the last one, she would be able to think through all the previous things. She hastily asked, "You might as well just tell me what Miss Du thinks of."

Du Shuang hesitated and said: "There is no evidence for this matter, I read it from an ancient book." It should be no problem to say ancient books, right?That kind of thing is extremely rare in modern times. It should not be common in the Great Zhou Dynasty. "It is said that there is a poisonous mushroom that can make people crazy if eaten."

"Poisonous mushroom?" Liu Bailu twitched his brows, and turned to leave.

"Where is Sister Liu going?" Du Shuang asked hastily.

Liu Bailu pondered and said: "The meals we used these days were all passed through my hands, and we didn't use any mushrooms. What's more, all of them ate the meals. There is no reason that only the mother-in-law is crazy. Now that I think about it, I just I am afraid that the poison in the mushrooms was extracted, and then one of them mixed with the Tatars and took the opportunity to enter the Qi family, or entered the Qi family before that, and the poison was either used in the bathing water of the mother-in-law, Either drinking tea or rubbing it on something stabbed someone and brought poison into it, I want to go back and have a look.”

"Then sister Liu, be careful on the road." Du Shuang quickly got up to see her off, and said, "How about I get someone to set up a car to take my sister back?"

Liu Bailu hesitated for a moment and then nodded. After all, he had been out for a long time. If someone destroyed the evidence, it would be troublesome.

Liu Bailu and Du Shuang hurried to the front yard, and just turned around the Chaoshou verandah in the hallway of the front yard, and saw the two standing in the yard staring at each other.
