The petite wife in ancient Alpha

Chapter 17

The three people who made up the good words changed their formation, Zhao Wanli supported one person with each hand, and entered the hospital at a "difficult" pace.

On the surface, Tong Hu couldn't be more ordinary, but secretly he pried off the little finger holding Zhao Wanli's clothes, hooked it in his hand, and was scratched and picked several times by the unwilling little dirty claw.

cough--

Unable to bear the endless twisting behind his back, Zhao Wanli made a "almost done" sound.

Knowing that the reception was not good last night, after the breakfast was ready, Li Yin set off to invite someone in the wing room, stepped out of the main room, and raised his eyelids, the guests came towards him with disheveled hair and bruises all over his body.

In the capital city of the capital city, six-door arresters are nothing, but in poor villages like Ningping Village, the eighth-rank arresters are much bigger than the county chief, let alone the top-rank ones. Little Li Yin.

Bowing forward tremblingly, Li Yin's old face, which was already weak due to "illness", was even more pale and helpless, "Oh, what's wrong with the two police officers?"

Now without Wu Wang's pressure, Ling Zhi wouldn't pretend to be a little sheep!The ones above are not easy to serve, but the ones below are easy to handle.

"Oh, don't mention it." Ling Zhi let go of Zhao Wanli, put his left hand on his right hand, and deliberately showed the injury on the back of his hand to Li Yin, "Last night, a thief broke into the courtyard. Brother Huzi and I chased it out to catch the thief. Falling into a thief's trap, I'm fine with this minor injury, Huzi brother's last injury is more serious."

"This, what to do..." Glancing at Tong Hu's blood-stained hands, Li Yin didn't dare to imagine how deep the wound would be, and his lips trembled in fright, "Xiaguan, I'm going to prepare hot water now." And Jinchuang medicine, and ask the little girl to stew an old hen for adults to nourish."

Ling Zhi pretended to nod his head: "There is Laurie Yin."

Li Yin bent like planting seedlings, "It should be, it should be."

The three of them walked back to the wing room, in order not to arouse suspicion, they just closed the door, and Zhao Wanli helped Tong Hu around the Eight Immortals table until they reached the wooden bed.

The blood-stained area on Tong Hu's body did not look like a minor skin trauma, which made the white flesh in the opening of his clothes so evil that he couldn't help being curious, Zhao Wanli asked in a low voice: "Huzi, What exactly is your injury..."

"Catcher Zhao, please treat me as if I survived a catastrophe when I was eight years old, and my fortune will be astonishing." Tong Hu didn't intend to tell Zhao Wanli the details of the present world, so he turned the conversation to Ling Zhi who was unburdened, "If the old hen It’s stewed, do you dare to eat it?”

"Why don't you dare? If there is abalone's wing belly, I can still eat it." Ling Zhi took advantage of his small mouth and continued to babble, "Don't forget that we have official documents in hand, and no one will eat them until the moment when the fish dies and the net breaks. He would be so stupid as to make a killer move on us, who would dare to easily refute the face of the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhao Wanli had long passed the age of asking the truth, and Tong Hu was not in the habit of lying casually. Since he didn't want to go deep, he would not ask deeply. He followed Ling Zhi's words and laughed, "Then I understand."

In the past two years, thanks to Ling Zhi's blessing, he has also accepted some small gifts and bribes after finishing the case, such as two catties of old wine, half a catty of beef, and occasionally some rich people, and some small silver and Ling Squeak in half.

"You're on the right track, old Zhao!" Ling Zhi pointed at Zhao Wanli, pulling out a long voice in a treacherous voice.

When encountering "unclean" masters like Li Yin, even defrauding and cheating is not considered a search for the people's fat and anointment, this is called eliminating harm for the people.

Tong Hu, who has good ears and eyes, issued a "shh" reminder, shaking his head to indicate that someone is coming.

The figure of Tingting curling up outside the door is Shi Yuan, Li Yin's little girl who led the way earlier.

Shi Yuan walked to the door with a copper basin in her hand, calling "Master" softly, wishing that the sunflower plant in the house would immediately wilt and die.

Ling Zhi winked at Zhao Wanli, Zhao Wanli understood and said, "Miss Smith, please come in."

After finishing speaking, he slowly stepped forward to take the hot water from Shi Yuan's hand, and added "Thank you".

The purpose of doing this is to let Shi Yuan take a look at the situation in the house. Anyway, her daughter who has not left the cabinet will not stay at home for long.

After Shi Yuan put down the golden medicine in her sleeve and left, Ling Zhi pointed to the door with his chin, his intention couldn't be more obvious.

"Cheng Chengcheng, then I won't delay you and your brother Hu Zi changing clothes and getting medicine." Zhao Wanli gave Ling Zhi a blank look, "Hurry up, I'm hungry."

Ling Zhi's mouth was also fast, and he couldn't speak in his head, so he casually replied to Zhao Wanli, "What's the hurry? The old hen hasn't been stewed yet!"

"Oh, forget me talking too much, you take your time, just drink some chicken soup when you're done." Zhao Wanli slammed on the door and muttered in an unclear tone, "It's because I'm young and my body is resistant."

As soon as the person left the room, Ling Zhi felt something was wrong belatedly, he suddenly got up and pointed at Zhao Wanli through the door, Tong Hu quickly covered his small mouth that was about to yell.

"Okay, Baby Zhi, let outsiders listen to it." Tong Hu hugged the small explosive bag, got cheap and behaved, "Captain Zhao just said that, the more excited you are, the more real it is, isn't it?"

Pulling off the stinky hand covering his mouth, Ling Zhi gouged out Tong Hu with his eyes, and snorted angrily, "You're so excited, I'm as calm as water!"

Sitting back on the edge of the wooden bed, Ling Zhi's face was ashen, Qiqiao said: "Fuck a white-haired ghost! I am strong!"

"Yes, yes, my baby Zhi is strong and doesn't need to be mended. Zhao Zhao must have asked me to mend it." Tong Hu echoed, while putting a soft cloth over warm water, and gently wiped the wound on the back of Ling Zhi's hand.

"Who asked you to make it up? You are not allowed to make it up!" Ling Zhi's stomach was about to explode from Tong Hu's explanation, and he yelled, "Did you hear that!"

"I heard it, I heard it. If the baby doesn't let me make it up, I won't make it up." Tong Hu swallowed his anger, "Does it hurt?"

Ling Zhi stuck his neck and said nonsense: "It doesn't hurt!"

An hour later, everyone sat down at the dinner table, and Liyin's second son, Shi Hong, was waiting outside the courtyard early, leading the mule cart.

The hay sticks on the mule cart are not uncommon, after all, they are used to pull goods, but the mule is not "ill", and the six-door horse is about to "cry for injustice".

After getting into the car with Zhao Wanli and Tong Hu, Ling Zhi continued the unfinished topic at the dinner table, "It's not a trivial matter to lose dogs frequently in the village. Why didn't anyone bother to report to the county government?"

"How can I report to the police because of a dog." Li Yin held the map of Ningping Village in his hand and swallowed unconsciously, "There are wild beasts in the mountains, and no one can tell whether they were stolen by people or caught by beasts. , if the adults hadn't said there was a trap, we would have thought it was a dog blocking the disaster."

"Has anyone seen a wild beast in the village?" Zhao Wanli was not satisfied with Li Yin's words. If a wild beast entered the village, the county government would not sit idly by.

"Last year, I heard Huang Kun from the east of the village say that the paw prints are quite big, and it should be a horse bear." Shi Hong, who was driving a mule cart, swung his whip to snatch the white, and then added, "But we didn't seen alive."

Ling Zhi secretly slandered him, he was such a smart fool who was mistaken by his cleverness, and was worried about how to ask the dog dumb things without arousing suspicion, so he gave him an excellent opportunity.

"Don't the dogs bark when the horse bear comes into the village to pick up dogs? This dog is too bold!" Ling Zhi stared at Liuyuan in surprise.

No one echoed this remark, only the mules' hooves and wheels were ringing, Ling Zhi raised his eyebrows and asked innocently, "Did something happen?"

"No, it's nothing." Li Yin's stiff facial features shifted unnaturally, "Oh, I don't know why the village is cursed. The dogs seem to have a strange disease. I haven't heard them barking in these years."

Li Yin couldn't come up with a reasonable explanation, so he simply pushed it aside. Anyway, the dog has been dead for some time, even if the six doors wanted to investigate, they couldn't find anything.

"It's a strange disease again." Ling Zhi repeated to himself, and then asked, "How long has that man been sick?"

"After this year, I have been sick one after another. It's been about a month. The whole village has become weak." Li Yin turned his eyes away, and said to the left and right: "Did Detective Tong go up the mountain from this road?"

The village where the three of them entered together did not declare that Tong Hu was accompanying them, so they were naturally misunderstood as an arrester. Tong Hu responded with "Yes", and decided to help Li Yin and break up the topic, "Since there are horses in the mountains Bears come and go, maybe the villagers don’t go up the mountain often, right?”

"Yeah, we live by farming here, and basically work in the farmland." Li Yin heaved a sigh of relief and borrowed the slope to get off the donkey.

"So, I'm afraid this year's life will be difficult." Tong Hu coughed twice, and the chat was full of anxiety, "The whole village is sick during the spring planting season, what about the imperial court's taxation?"

Ling Zhi's drooping eyes suddenly lit up, Tong Hu was indeed a natural catcher, and unexpectedly picked such a topic for conversation.

Farmers lost their harvest, so they either reported to the imperial court to apply for tax reduction or exemption;

The imperial court sent medical officers from the Imperial Medical Office to come for diagnosis and treatment, which must be the result of Ningping Village's reporting through the county government and the government government.

Now Wu Wang has been here for more than half a month for diagnosis and treatment, but he still has no clue, so the case was transferred to the criminal tribe and he was on the head of the six gates, which is why he made this trip out of the city.

If the flower field is the secret of Ningping Village, there is no need to come up with a "strange disease" and just grow flowers secretly.

So who is going to take the liberty to expose the "strange disease", since it has been exposed, why not speak clearly?

Judging from Li Yin's performance, it is obvious that he did not take the initiative to report to the county government, so the person who can leave the village without anyone noticing must be the breakthrough point of the case, and this breakthrough point has the ability to make the county master listen to his side.

No, there is still something missing...

Why do you have to say it is a strange disease of weakness?

Why don't you choose to be wise and protect yourself when you are in it?

What role does the old woman play in this play?

Wu Wang and Ningping Village are not clearly related, or have they been assimilated by the villagers for profit?

Ling Zhi felt that a game of chess had been messed up, and if he wanted to put it back to the original position to see the situation clearly, he could not rely on deduction alone, he had to use the hand of the chess player to guide him.

His mind was chaotic, his eyelids were hard to keep from sinking, and the swaying of the mule cart was very hypnotic. After Ling Zhi nodded several times, he fell into Tong Hu's shoulder socket.

There was a slight snoring sound, and Tong Hu stopped talking with Li Yin. Last night he slept half the night, Ling Zhi guessed that Feng Ling might not close his eyes all night.

With Sleeping Beauty wrapped around his arms, Tong Hu's cold eyes are bathed in the spring breeze, the ice and snow melt, his heart is like a fish pond, and the pond is full of dragon gates, plopping and plopping.

After an unknown amount of time, the mule, which was neither a donkey nor a horse, neighed, disturbing the red-maned horse under the tree, abandoning the grass, and came snorting as if recognizing its master.

The startled mule backed away—

Under the turbulence, Tong Hu's temple hit hard on his shoulder, Ling Zhi frowned and opened his sleepy eyes, and straightened his back in a huff.

Wrapped around his hand, so warm.

Out of the corner of the eye, the cold face that wards off evil spirits is so damn gentle...
