Chapter 183

The strange disease in Shengpingfang came to an end—at least on the surface, so after the Shangyuan, although Li Quan resumed his official duties, he didn't have to take care of the affairs here.He then turned his attention back to the search for the treasure chest of the Gu family.

Before he was recruited, he sent people to investigate all the relatives and friends who had been in contact with Datongfang craftsman Wang Tie's family one by one. Now the investigation results of the arresters have been fed back to him one after another, and there is no information worthy of attention.

Some of these people still have memories of the red lacquered wooden box, and remember seeing it at Wang's house, but they can't remember when it disappeared.The feng shui master Wang Tie asked for advice had long since died, and it was impossible to know what Wang Tie asked him.

Bai Sanxiu sat next to him in front of the desk, propped one cheek, flipping through the thick interrogation records time after time.

"What exactly does Wang Tie do? Will he take advantage of his position and bury the box?"

After asking, she realized that with Li Quan's wise plan, he must have thought of it a long time ago.So she asked again: "You are already checking, right?"

Li Guan smiled and patted her head, and said: "He was in charge of repairing large buildings, such as palaces, Taoist temples, temples, etc., as well as clan or conferred houses. I have already written to the Ministry of Industry to ask for 20 years. The previous construction records, but the old files are troublesome to sort out, so we have to wait."

"I'm afraid it won't be the end of the first month before there will be a result?"

She didn't expect the people from the Ministry of Industry to deal with it urgently.

Sure enough, Li Quan said, "Hurry up."

It means that if you are slow, don't even think about it.

Bai Sanxiu was not disappointed either, this was all expected.

Li Quan said again: "Don't wait for me tomorrow night, I may not come back."

"What are you doing?"

"Every year at this time, the principals and officials of Dali Temple have to have a meal together."

"Oh……"

Seeing the sparkle in her eyes, how could Li Yan not know what she was thinking?Pinching her nose, she said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't go to Beili."

Ever since Li Quan woke up, Bai Sanxiu had tried different ways to nourish him. After all, he had been lethargic for several days, and it still hurt his health.Since he didn't come back for dinner tonight, she would be free, so she greeted Zhang Fang, and went out after eating in the morning.

She went to Jinggongfang.

The old woman who gave medicine for free but rescued the residents of Sifang by mistake, she has always been curious, and she is free today, so I just happened to take a look.Asking passers-by, she walked to a street corner and looked at a simple shed on the west side of the Zoroastrian Temple from a distance, which was the place where the old woman used to apply medicine.

It was still very cold in early spring, and Bai Sanxiu stood guard against the cold wind for a long time at the corner of the street, and went to have lunch before returning, but the old woman did not appear.In the end, she couldn't bear it anymore, grabbed the sesame seed stall owner and asked, "Boss, where's the old woman of the magic medicine, why hasn't she come out today?"

"Hey, that's why I didn't come today. I didn't apply medicine every day."

"Then when does she usually come?"

"Maybe twice a day. But I haven't seen her in the past few days."

"Do you know where she lives?"

The boss is still an honest person, and persuaded: "Little girl, although Mrs. Ma gave the medicine for free, it has to be willing. Why do you still want to come to ask for it? Besides, isn't the magical medicine given to the government? Go to Shengpingfang You can also drink it."

He didn't know that the government didn't have the crucial white-flowered bellflower.

"You misunderstood. I think she has good medical skills, and I want to ask for advice. I will never take advantage of her."

The boss heaved a sigh of relief, and then told her: "On Fangbei Third Street, the Ma's house in the innermost part of Ju'an Lane, you can ask there."

Bai Sanxiu thanked the boss, and found the old lady's house as promised, and now she smelled it outside the door, and it did smell of herbs, but nothing else.

"Granny Ma, are you there? Granny Ma, please open the door! Is anyone there?"

She knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no answer, until the neighbor finally got impatient, opened the door and poked his head out, "Are you looking for Mrs. Ma? She's not here."

"Then do you know where she went?"

The neighbor shook his head: "I haven't seen you for several days."

"When was the last time you saw her?"

The neighbor thought about it, and then said, "Three or four days ago. That morning she said she was going out of town to collect some medicine. She didn't come back, and we didn't pay attention."

Bai Sanxiu's heart trembled.
