Smash the little fairy doctor, relying on fortune-telling to popularize the entire dynasty

Chapter 55

The original way, because of the murder, can no longer go back.

Lu Wuming led the little masters to find another way back to the Xiao Mansion.

Old General Xiao took Nie Chen out of the mansion, it should be something in the army.

At this hour, Meng Fang is already on his way to a remote county.

Su Qingtian yawned as soon as she stepped into the front yard, she coaxed Xiao Nan to leave, and took Xiao Jiu back to her small courtyard.

She climbed onto the bed without taking off her shoes and socks, and fell asleep with the tiger head pillow in her arms.

There were hurried footsteps outside the door, and the lotus lifted up the water-green spring tent, just in time to see Xiao Jiu gently taking off Su Qingtian's shoes and covering her quilt.

"Miss is asleep?"

Lotus lowered her voice and asked, with a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"Just slept."

After tucking in the quilt, Xiao Jiu slowly lowered the veil.

Xiao Jiu said softly: "Sister He Hua, is there something urgent you need to find the master?"

"Master Liu, the county magistrate of Fengcheng, is here."

He Hua looked at the little master who was sleeping soundly, with a troubled expression on her face, but her voice softened a lot unconsciously.

"He said when he entered the mansion that he wanted to find the young lady, but he didn't say anything about it."

How can a county magistrate go to someone else's house to meet the young lady, let alone a child in his prime.

Xiao Jiu immediately reacted.

County Magistrate Liu came to look for the young master, it must be because of the strange death of the old fortune-teller.

They did go to the fortune-telling booth, and many people around saw it.

It's just that he didn't expect that the county magistrate Liu would solve the case so quickly, and he would find the Xiao residence so quickly for questioning.

"Master is tired, let her sleep more."

Xiao Jiu walked towards the door with the lotus, and said in a low voice, "I'll go see Master Liu first."

He Hua paused, and looked at the young man in surprise.

This guard, who has been in office for less than a day, is still a teenager, how can he meet guests on behalf of his master?

but now……

Turning around to look at Su Qingtian who was sleeping soundly in the back room, the masters are not here now, and there is indeed no one to receive County Magistrate Liu.

You can't let the majestic master wait for the little master to sleep in the front hall and see him again.

"Well, you can't talk nonsense."

After thinking for a while, He Hua still took Xiao Jiu to the front hall.

Liu Zifeng, who came to Xiao's mansion in a hurry, was too anxious to sit down even in the front hall, and the tea on the table was unused.

He kept wandering in front of the hall door, thinking that after seeing the little girl for a while, he would quickly ask for clarification.

A human head fell abruptly in the bustling market.

The dead body was right in front of the guests, and the blood was freshly scattered all over the floor.

To cause a homicide like this, the perpetrator must have extremely fast knife skills and strong strength.

At the same time, the distance from the victim should not exceed one foot, otherwise the head would never be able to fly up and then fall down so neatly.

The yamen servants questioned many people at the scene, but none of them saw anyone approaching the deceased.

And the scholar who went to a fortune-telling at the end was frightened and confused, a little crazy and talking nonsense.

Nie Butou led a search around.

There were no suspicious clues at the scene of the crime, let alone information about possible perpetrators.

The old fortune-teller was originally a widow. Although he had been setting up a stall here in recent years, he didn't have any acquaintances. The yamen servants didn't even find out his address until now.

Now magistrate liu was stumped.

In the end, the old melon seller came back to his senses, remembering that a little girl used a tael of silver to take the initiative to make a fortune for the deceased.

Today is the time to die by the hands of others.

It can be said that it is exactly the same as the case.

In such a weird murder case, suddenly there was another little girl who was like a fortune-telling fairy.

The first thing that popped into Liu Zifeng's mind was this strange and treacherous young lady from the Xiao family, who immediately rushed to the Xiao residence without stopping.

Seeing the figure of lotus approaching quickly outside the window, Liu Zifeng hastily arranged his clothes and official hat.

Looking up, the county magistrate couldn't help but be taken aback.

What followed behind the lotus was not the little girl he was looking forward to, but a young boy who was born in the face.

"Master Liu, my little master just fell asleep." Xiao Jiu cupped his fists and saluted, and said, "If you want to ask about the murder case that happened in Dongfang City today, Cao Min can answer one or two."

"you are?"

Looking at Xiao Jiu who was in short clothes, Liu Zifeng couldn't figure out his identity for a while.

"Return to your lord, Cao Min is the personal bodyguard of the little lady, and his name is Xiaojiu."

Since the person was brought by the lotus, Liu Zifeng would have no doubts.

Besides, he also knew that although this young lady of Xiao's mansion was very talented, she was too young after all, once she fell asleep, it was really not easy to get up again.

"I want to ask you, has your master ever had contact with the deceased?"

The incident happened suddenly and very bloody, and the people of Dongfang City are now panicking.

Liu Zifeng knew that this matter must be resolved quickly, and Dongfang City and Fengcheng would fall into more crises if it was delayed for a day.

He hoped that the little girl Gua Nong was talking about was the one from the Xiao Mansion, otherwise it would be difficult to find in the vast crowd.

"Yes."

Xiao Jiu's answer made Liu Zifeng half-hearted.

"Master gave the man a tael of silver and asked him how long he will live."

"The man made a fortune for himself, saying that he could live to the eighty-eighty percent."

"Little master didn't believe it, so he personally made a fortune telling him that he will die at the right time today."

The little guard and Gua Nong said basically the same thing. Liu Zifeng originally thought that the case of finding the little girl would be clear, but now he suddenly looked sad again.

The cause of death of the deceased and clues to the murderer are still clueless. I am afraid that only Su Qingtian knows the deeper case.

A rattling sound came from outside the door, Liu Zifeng turned around and saw Xiao Yichen coming to the door.

"Master Liu, I don't know why you came to the door today?"

As soon as Xiao Yichen was busy with family affairs, the servant came to report that the county magistrate Liu was not looking for him, but for the young lady.

Feeling that something was wrong, he rushed over immediately, ready to see what was going on.

"Little boy."

County Magistrate Liu didn't hide it, and said directly, "Because of a murder case in Dongfang City this morning, I came here to pay a visit to Miss Su."

Xiao Yichen was taken aback, why did these words sound so familiar?

There was another murder case in Dongfang City, why did he get involved with Xiao Qingtian again?
"Where's Xiao Qingtian?"

Xiao Yichen looked at Xiao Jiu who was standing beside him and asked.

"Little master just fell asleep."

"Since that's the case, Mr. Liu should come back another day."

Although he didn't know the circumstances of today's case, Xiao Yichen knew from Liu Zifeng's attitude that he was here to beg for help, not to lock him up.

Wang Liu's case involved the Xiao family to some extent, so he naturally cooperated with the investigation.

But now it's about Xiao Qingtian, he can't let the little girl get involved in these bloody and dirty things.

"Young master, let me have a cup of tea even if you are chasing away guests."

Knowing that Xiao Yichen was nervous about his little baby, Liu Zifeng couldn't help but soften his tone.

"From the time the case was filed until now, there is no clue. The officer is not in a hurry. Why don't we wait for the little girl."

"In the past, there was no time to spare. How about playing a game of chess with the young master today?"

Xiao Yichen saw that Liu Zifeng softened his words and insisted on waiting for Su Qingtian to wake up, so he couldn't open his mouth to drive away the guests.

After all, the other party is the magistrate of a county, and he is just a commoner.
