Tang Dynasty detective

Chapter 208
Miyauchi Ryosuke also nodded, and he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the Zuo envoy, we are not the only ones who came to the Central Plains this time. We are just pioneers, and the real Ichidani warriors are still on their way. Just wait for them to arrive, so why worry about the master's failure?"

The two looked at each other, and then burst out laughing. They didn't care much about the dead subordinates. In their view, as long as major events can be accomplished, let alone a few subordinates, no matter how many casualties there are, it's worth it.

But Xue Xuan hurried back to the county government office after finding the medicine powder from the ninja.

She didn't know if there was any antidote among these two kinds of medicine powder, but Li Canghai was in danger, she couldn't bear to think about it, so she had to take back both medicine powders.

Taking advantage of the night, she sneaked into the backyard of the county government office, and quietly came to the room where Zhang Xuanming was.

In the room, the candles were flickering, and Zhang Xuanming was studying medical books.

Xue Xuan pondered for a moment, then threw two packets of medicinal powder into it.

The two packets of medicinal powder drew a graceful arc in the air, and landed in front of Zhang Xuanming with incomparable accuracy.

"Who?" Zhang Xuan was taken aback, stood up quickly, and looked around.

The window creaked, and after Zhang Xuanming passed by, Xue Xuan had long since disappeared.

Back on the table, he picked up two packs of medicine powder and smelled them. He frowned and hurriedly picked up two packs of medicine powder and walked to Kang Xu's room.

Kang Xu thought about the case for a long time, and was about to go to sleep when he heard a knock on the door, and hurried over to open it.

As soon as the door opened, Zhang Xuanming hurried in.

Without saying a word, he took out the two packs of medicine powder, Zhang Xuan lowered his voice and said: "Master, someone sent me this."

"What is this?" Kang Xu picked up the powder and smelled it, and asked curiously.

"Two packs of poison." Zhang Xuanming said in a deep voice.

Kang Xu was taken aback. He sniffed the poison, and just about to put it down, he suddenly smelled another faint fragrance.

"Where is the person who delivered the medicine?" Kang Xu asked.

"The person who delivered the medicine was a master of martial arts. After delivering the poison, he disappeared into the night." Zhang Xuan paused, and asked in doubt: "Master, why do you think someone sent two packs of poison?" And me, what is the purpose of this?"

Kang Xu carefully identified the fragrance on the medicine bag, he knew it in his heart, and said: "This is a gift from Miss Xue Xuan. If I guess right, she should have learned about the poisoning of the lord, and then fought against the Dongying people." , wanted to snatch the antidote by force, but she didn't expect that there would be two packets of medicine powder on the other party's body, and she didn't know which one was the antidote and which one was the poison, so she sent the medicine packet to you for identification."

Zhang Xuanming looked at him in surprise, and asked strangely: "How does master know that these two packs of medicine powder were given by Miss Xue?"

Kang Xu rubbed his nose and said with a slight smile: "I will tell you about this in detail later. Anyway, I am sure that the two packs of medicine powder were given by Miss Xue. Besides, Miss Xue will never harm adults, so Dr. Zhang also Don't worry too much."

Seeing that Kang Xu was so sure, Zhang Xuan couldn't say more, he took the medicine bag in doubt, and walked out shaking his head.

Kang Xu narrowed his eyes, touched his handsome cheek, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, Kang Xu and the others got up early and split up according to the previous arrangement.

Xiao Wu continued to investigate clues related to the murder weapon, Kang Xu went to Hetou Village, and Chang Feng was assigned a new task to investigate Lu Jitong.

The experience of these days made the cooperation between the few people more skillful, and Kang Xu was secretly happy. With their help, his confidence in solving the case suddenly increased a bit.

Dressed in casual clothes and still covered with a veil, Kang Xu took a few government servants and headed for Hetou Village in a carriage.

Just after leaving the city gate, before going far, the carriage stopped suddenly.

"What's going on, why did you stop?" Kang Xu was thinking about the murder case, and asked as he raised the curtain.

A yamen servant came over and said, "My lord, the road ahead is blocked."

"Then let them get out of the way. Remember to persuade them with kind words and don't bully the people." Kang Xu said casually with disapproval.

After Kang Xu finished speaking, the yamen servant didn't leave, but stood there with a troubled expression on his face.

"Why don't you go?" Kang Xu looked at him strangely.

"My lord... the one blocking the way is not a person, but a... dog." The yamen servant scratched his head and said a little depressed.

dog?
Kang Xu was stunned for a moment, and he suddenly felt a little funny.

"You dignified officials can't even deal with a dog?" Kang Xu walked out, cleared his throat, and said, "Good dogs don't get in the way, bad dogs get in the way... um, why are there so many dogs? "

Standing on the carriage, Kang Xu suddenly saw several ferocious dogs on the road ahead, and was startled.

However, more than a dozen vicious dogs didn't even look at him, and they were ruthless at a pine-haired puppy at this moment.

That little dog was only half the height of those vicious dogs, and the fluffy and thick long hair was covered with dust, and it was impossible to tell what color it was.

Surrounded in the middle, the pine-haired puppy was not afraid of the provocations of those vicious dogs. Its front half prostrated itself on the ground, arched its body, and let out a low growl.

Everyone was amazed, the pine-haired dog's mouth was covered with blood, but it didn't have any scars, while the besieging vicious dogs around them were covered with scars.

"Woo~ woof!"

The pine-haired puppy gritted its teeth, with a fierce light in its eyes, carefully staring at the vicious dogs around it.

Those vicious dogs kept walking around the pine-haired puppy, but they didn't dare to go forward.

Kang Xu suddenly felt strange, and hurriedly ordered everyone to step aside.

But at this moment, those vicious dogs suddenly made an attack and rushed towards the pine-haired puppy.

More than a dozen ferocious large vicious dogs with red eyes frantically rushed towards the pine-haired puppy. The puppy bowed and kicked its four paws vigorously from the ground, and immediately flew up like sharp arrows.

After drawing an arc in the air, the pine-haired puppy suddenly jumped out of the surrounding dogs.

After it jumped out, it didn't run away, but turned around and rushed towards the biggest vicious dog among the dogs.

The pine-haired puppy moved swiftly, before all the dogs could react, it had already jumped on the back of the biggest vicious dog.

The pine-haired puppy barked, opened its mouth and bit the vicious dog.

The vicious dog was in pain, bouncing wildly, trying to throw off the pine-haired puppy, but the pine-haired puppy was biting the vicious dog's neck tightly, how could it let go?

The vicious dog howled in pain, and even though it rolled and writhed on the ground, the pine-haired puppy kept biting its neck.

The vicious dogs around wanted to step forward to help, but the low growl from the pine-haired puppy clearly frightened them.

After tossing half a stick of incense, the vicious dog finally groaned unwillingly, and fell down in the dust with a plop. The puppy bit off the throat.

The big vicious dog struggled a few times, and died completely.

Seeing this, the vicious dogs around retreated one after another, whining and mourning, and looked at the pine-haired puppy cautiously.

The pine-haired puppy stood on top of the dead vicious dog, with fierce eyes and sharp teeth bared, looking down at the dogs like a king.

Everyone was stunned. It was unbelievable that a pine-haired puppy could turn defeat into victory in the face of many vicious dogs.

Kang Xu was also secretly amazed, this pine-haired puppy could be described as intelligent, and he understood the principle of 'to catch the thief first, to catch the king'.

"Come on, go and drive those vicious dogs away!" Kang Xu ordered casually.

Several yamen servants bowed to accept the order, then drew out their simple knives and walked towards the vicious dogs.

The shining plain knife exuded a cold light, those vicious dogs keenly sensed the danger, grinned at the crowd for a while, and fled in all directions in an instant.

Kang Xu took a bun from the carriage, walked up to the pine-haired puppy, took a bite of the bun, put it in front of it, patted the pine-haired puppy on the head, and said, "Good guy, I didn't expect you to It’s so powerful, this steamed stuffed bun is a reward for you, eat it.”

The pine-haired puppy sniffed the steamed stuffed bun, then Kang Xu, and suddenly threw himself into his arms.

"Woo~ woof!"

The pine-haired puppy wagged its tail desperately, as if it was very intimate with Kang Xu, and stuck out its tongue to lick his hand.

"Wang! Wang Wang!"

Kang Xu was stunned for a moment. He picked up the pine-haired puppy and looked at it carefully. The more he looked at it, the more familiar it became.

Just seeing a pool not far away, Kang Xu walked over with the pine-haired puppy in his arms, and threw the puppy into the water.

The mud on the pine-haired puppy was quickly soaked by the water. After tossing in the water for a while, the pine-haired puppy crawled out of the water, shook his body vigorously, and dried the sewage on his body. Liuqiu's pine-haired puppy turned into a beautiful chow chow.

Kang Xu suddenly realized, no wonder he felt familiar, isn't this Chow Chow the one that Li Canghai gave Di Qing?

At that time when he left Luoyang, Di Qing did not take the dog away, but gave it to Di Ying to raise him, unexpectedly appearing in Zhengyang at this time.

Kang Xu looked at the Chow Chow and suddenly thought, this dog must have traveled a long distance from Luoyang to find its owner, right?

If so, how sensitive is the dog's sense of smell?

"After many days, the dog was still able to find this place by smell. Its sense of smell is unbelievable. Bringing it may help solve the case."

Thinking of this, Kang Xu picked up the Chow Chow, fed it a few steamed buns, and ordered people to move on.

Half an hour later, Kang Xu and others arrived at Hetou Village.

As soon as he entered the village, Kang Xu immediately ordered people to gather the whole village together.

"Is everyone here?" Kang Xu asked Baojia, standing in front of the village ancestral hall with his hands behind his back.

Baojia looked at the audience and said respectfully: "Return to your lord, all the villagers in this village have arrived, please give your instructions."

Kang Xu nodded, he coughed a few times, and said calmly: "Recently, there was a bloody case in Zhengyang City, and everyone must have heard about it. The reason why I came here today is because someone is involved in this case , I hope that the insider will come forward and admit it. Otherwise, if I find out, I will definitely punish you severely!"
