I Wish to Ride the Wind - Chapter 28

Jade Night View.

Shen Jiajia held his chopsticks and pondered, and Shen Chaukuai asked, “Why, Sanniang, do you think there is something wrong with this Taoism? We have already sent people to cross-examine, and we haven’t seen anyone suspicious.”

“Dad, I was thinking, how real is this wandering doctor?”

“what?”

“I’ve heard that when people lie, it’s best to spread the truth in a mix of truth and falsehood, so as to convince those who listen to it. The details of the crime confessed by Yang Fang are true. Could it be fake in itself, but be taken as real by you?”

“Sanniang, you’re saying that this kid lied to us. In fact, there is no wandering doctor at all? Where did his medicine come from?”

“Dad, I’m just guessing. I don’t have any evidence to say that this Jianghu Youyi must be fake, but it always feels wrong. I have never heard of this kind of medicine, so how can a Jianghu Youyi pay for it? If there really is such a wandering doctor, he may not be selling medicine for the first time, so why has there never been a similar poisoning case before?”

“Yes, I really haven’t heard of it,” Shen Hu quickly nodded, “After the incident, we went to the Dali Temple to check the files, and the death-like cases were either accidentally ingested puffer fish, or poisoned by herbs such as Aconitum and Strychni. There has never been a single case of this type of poisonous, unknown source. This case is really weird everywhere.” The more he thought about it, the more confused he became. He frowned and shook his head. After thinking for a while, he said, “No, why does Yang Fang want to Lie? He can’t escape death anyway, is it because he wants to keep the person who really gave him the medicine?”

“I’m afraid it’s the correct answer.”

Shen Jukuai couldn’t care about eating now, got up and took out the knife, “I’ll go to the yamen.”

Shen Zhukuai left in a hurry, and after less than an hour, he came back in a hurry, and said to Shen Jiajia with a black face: “Yang Fang committed suicide because of fear!”

Shen Jiajia was also quite helpless, “Dad, why don’t we go to Yuxiao tomorrow to watch?”

After Erniang Zhu returned home, she heard that her husband was going to take her daughter to find some kind of poison to kill, and she was quite helpless: “Don’t always tell Sanniang about these beatings and killings, Sanniang can’t even tell her relatives now. already.”

After Shen Jiajia’s aunt got angry that day, she went back and spread a lot about Shen Jiajia. Now the neighbors look at Shen Jiajia with strange eyes, and the matchmaker even made a detour when she saw Zhu Erniang. It’s easy to come to a test, okay, to tell a 60-year-old old man to continue the string, and make Second Lady Zhu annoyed.

Hearing his wife complaining like this, Shen Zhukuai said with disapproval, “This time the case is solved, didn’t Sanniang earn another 20 taels from the manor? Now she can earn more than our husband and wife alone. The truth is in front of you, no matter what others say! If you want me to say, those things that point and point are not worthy of our three mothers, so don’t bother with them.”

“Oh, I can’t tell you. But it’s okay to go on like this. Sanniang is going to marry.”

“Don’t worry, I have an idea. In the future, I will find a poor and innocent family to recruit a son-in-law, so that Sanniang doesn’t get angry when she gets married.”

“If only I could find it…”

——

Yu Xiaoguan is located in the northwest of the capital. Early in the morning, Shen Chukuai rented an ox cart, took his daughter out of the city, and walked about thirty miles with the sun on his back, when he saw a place hidden in the ancient trees with yellow leaves in the distance. Taoist temple. The Taoist temple is not big, the walls and tiles are very simple, there are several carriages parked outside the Taoist temple, and some hawkers have set up stalls to sell incense, candles and other items, as well as food.

Shen Jiajia got out of the car and bought a Hu cake, and fed the sesame seeds on the cake to Xie Chengfeng on his shoulders. Although Shen Zhukuai knew that she bought the Hu Bing to inquire about things from the hawker, he was still a little angry, “Just get used to it.”

These words inexplicably made Xie Chengfeng somewhat useful, and he ate happier.

Shen Jiajia looked at the hawker and asked, “I haven’t heard of Yuxiaoguan before, why is it so lively here today?”

“My lady must have gone out less recently, so I never heard of it. This Yu Xiaoguan came to a white cloud priest half a year ago, and asking Fu to see the hexagram is very effective. Since then, there have been a steady stream of people who have come to the door, and the threshold will be broken. We are here to touch the Daoist priest’s immortal energy, hehe…”

“If it works, then I’ll try it too.”

“My lady, please come as soon as possible, Daoist Baiyun only asks for three hexagrams a day.”

Because Shen Chukuai was doing official business, the two of them didn’t need to wait. After entering the observation, Shen Chukuai directly said to the little Taoist priest: “I’m Mr. Shen, I want to see Daoist Baiyun today. “

The little Taoist priest said, “The good faith came by accident. Taoist Baiyun went out for a wander not long ago.”

“When?”

“Five days ago.”

Shen Zhukuai and his daughter looked at each other. Five days ago, it was the day Yang Fang was arrested.

Is it really just a coincidence?

The two remained calm, and Shen Chukuai smiled and said, “That’s really unfortunate. Since that’s the case, let’s just walk around in this view.”

The two turned around in the audience, checked the place where Daoist Baiyun lived before, and asked all the Taoists in the audience, who Daoist Baiyun had met.

He had seen quite a few people, but there was one thing—no one had seen him.

Because he always covered his face with gauze and never showed his true face.

Now that people are gone, they don’t even know what they look like, and it’s hard to find them.

The father and daughter returned from the Taoist temple and were silent all the way. Shen Jukuai finally asked, “Sanniang, what do you think?”

“Although there is no evidence, I feel that this Taoist temple is very suspicious, especially that Daoist Baiyun.”

“Oh?”

“In addition to being able to tell fortunes and draw talismans, Taoists can also refine medicines. Since ancient times, Taoists have found a lot of things in the pill furnace, tofu, **, cinnabar, and saltpeter. These are all found by Taoists. Why did Qian Da use saltpeter to commit crimes? Why does Yang Fang have novel poisons? If they are placed in Taoist temples, these can be explained. Especially in the case of Qian Da, it shows that this person not only knows how to make medicine, but also is proficient in the practice of Buddhism. In this way, we The scope of the suspects can be narrowed down. However, this person may not necessarily be from the capital, and I don’t know if I can find it—”

Shen Jiajia was talking when she suddenly heard a hurried shout in her ear: “Be careful!”

Immediately afterwards, Xie Chengfeng flew out, blowing a gust of wind beside her face.

Shen Jiajia was startled, she looked up, but saw a **** coming from the sky, she didn’t have time to avoid it, and her mind was blank. Seeing the ** shoot at her face door, at this moment, a white rainbow rushes towards the **, blocking the arrow tip. The arrow was blocked by the white figure, and the arrow pushed the small body and flew past Shen Jiajia’s ear.

Benedict——

It was the sound of the arrow penetrating the board.

Shen Jiajia looked back and saw that Xie Chengfeng had been shot in the opposite direction and pinned to the ox cart.
