I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. There were three basins of ice in Fu Jichang's room in the backyard of the government office, but he could still feel sweat on his back.

Xuyou and Yongheng knocked on the door and came in.

"Master, the coroner from the Dali Temple has just completed the autopsy and extracted the poison from the man in black. There is no other progress for the time being!"

Xu Yu said this while secretly observing Fu Jichang's expression.

Fu Jichang scolded the drunkard from the Dali Temple, stood up angrily and left the yard.

There was only Heita's horse at the door, which he had ridden back.

"Damn it, a hundred thousand taels just died like that..."

Fu Jichang cursed, jumped on Heita's horse, and left the government office through the back door.

He went directly to Mingyi Lane.

In front of Ji Xiaobei's gate, Xiao Baiju and Ma Debiao were leaning against each other, breathing heavily.

Hearing the noise, the horse and the donkey raised their heads.

The little white horse lowered his head somewhat embarrassedly.

After all, the 100,000 taels were spent chasing it to death...

Ma Debiao: Bah, I am worth one hundred and twenty thousand taels!

Ji Xiaobei's yard was quiet, Caixia was washing clothes in the yard.

Fu Jichang went in and heard that the children were all asleep. Ji Xiaobei had gone to the south city, so he did not enter the house.

"Caixia, I want to borrow Ma Debiao. The horse from Heita will be left here. You talk to Aunt Lin!" said Fu Jichang.

……

Fu Jichang untied Ma Debiao's reins.

Although Ma Debiao was reluctant, he still said goodbye to the little white horse reluctantly and followed Fu Jichang out of the alley.

Fu Jichang rode on Ma Debiao, and Ma Debiao raised his hooves and ran very fast.

Fu Jichang: It’s no less valuable than the 100,000 taels.

Ma Debiao: Love between a man and a woman cannot match the passion of a man

Ma Debiao is full of vigor and vitality, his fine clothes and vigorous horse are as magnificent as brocade!

Good guys are ambitions everywhere!

Fu Jichang also felt it was particularly easy. Riding Ma Debiao was like riding an old friend. No, it was like facing an old friend.

A man and a horse galloped towards the South City.

When he arrived at the gate of He Ye's yard, Jide saw Ma Debiao coming and was overjoyed.

Although she has become accustomed to the presence of the little white colt, which female donkey doesn't want the male donkey to look at her more?

Fu Jichang got off the donkey and went into the yard.

Leaving behind two donkeys rubbing their ears against each other.

Huang Po was turning over and drying herbs in the yard. When she saw Fu Jichang coming in, she stood up and said, "Little one, Xiaobei is here too. I was just about to send someone to look for you."

"Oh, it's the poison extracted by Master Lian..."

As he spoke, he went into the house.

"Master Fu, this poison is very powerful. I think I have seen it before!"

Lian Feng's face looked a little bad.

Ji Xiaobei said, "You guys chat first, I'll go help Huang Po collect the herbs."

After Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, he walked out and closed the door tightly for them.

Lian Feng had just told Ji Xiaobei that this poison was very similar to the Soul-breaking Powder used by the barbarians in the northern border.

If what Lian Feng said is true, doesn't that mean someone is collaborating with the enemy and committing treason?

She was flipping through the herbs somewhat absentmindedly.

The purpose of the masked man in black is to prevent Anzhou from resettling refugees, incite the refugees to cause trouble, and disrupt the public order of the Great Northern Dynasty?

Or did the internal officials join forces with the Hu people to disintegrate the Great Northern Dynasty and take the opportunity to invade the Great Northern Dynasty?

Ji Xiaobei has never cared about national political affairs. If the world is going to change, what can she, a small citizen, do?

However, if the Hu people wanted to deal with Xiaoyaozi, this matter seemed to have something to do with her.

She glanced around the room worriedly.

Inside the room, two men stared seriously at the small pink particles on the yellow paper.

"Are you sure it's the Hu people's Soul-breaking Powder?" Fu Jichang asked with a solemn look on his face, after a long silence.

"It is basically confirmed. My grandfather was captured by the Hu people for a year. It was your grandfather, General Fu, who rescued him. He secretly brought back a lot of poisons, including this Soul-Breaking Powder. He hid it in the cellar and only showed it to me."

Lian Feng told the truth.

He always knew that Fu Jichang was the grandson of General Fu, but he never mentioned it.

After my grandfather was captured by the Hu people, he lived with them for a long time. After he was rescued, the people in the Great Northern Dynasty military camp were afraid that he would be instigated to rebel and insisted on killing him.

General Fu was still thinking of the old times.

With the cooperation of Doctor Lian, General Fu won many battles.

He secretly asked someone to find a scapegoat, spared Doctor Lian's life, and sent him to an ancient temple in the northern border. A few years later, he returned to Anlian Mountain in Anzhou.

During this period, even the Lian family came to visit the old man secretly.

The old man told his story to his grandson.

Little Lianfeng was extremely interested in making poison. He made his own recipe using poisonous herbs from the mountains, which amazed Old Lian.

He told his grandson about all the poisons he brought back.

Before he died, he reminded his grandson: Just treat it as a hobby, don’t sell it to others, and don’t harm anyone!

Lian Feng kept it in mind.

He developed a strong poison and buried it underground, and no one knew about it.

He never showed off and just devoted himself to his research.

When he grew up, he became a playboy who spent his time eating, drinking and having sex, and few people paid attention to him.

Fu Jichang's brows were furrowed so tightly that they could pinch a fly to death.

Even if Lian Feng could be sure that the poison came from the Hu people, what did that prove?

People in northern Xinjiang can buy it easily.

He went to investigate a case at the Salt and Iron Bureau, but just when he made some progress he was transferred back to deal with the refugees.

For some unknown reason, a large number of refugees came to Anzhou.

The West Mountain in Anzhou was being reclaimed for farming, and some people were instigating refugees to cause trouble. If the refugees were not handled properly, it would be impossible to conduct an in-depth investigation into the case of the Salt and Iron Administration.

It's such a mess, it makes people uneasy.

He came out of the house, said hello to Ji Xiaobei, went out, got on Ma Debiao and left.

Mrs. Huang: Ouch, what happened?

His face turned green, as if he had been kicked by a donkey!

Ji Xiaobei did not respond to Huang Po's question and asked, "How is Lord Cao's health?"

Grandma Huang was immediately delighted: "Xiaobei, your medical skills are really impressive. The imperial physician said that he was hopeless, but you brought him back to life!"

"Well, my Huang Po has a bright future. I heard that you even made bone soup for Lord Cao. You said that what you eat is what you nourish!"

Ji Xiaobei said with a sour look on his face.

"I felt sorry for the old man. He had such a serious injury and it had been so many days, but none of his family members came to see him. He was only served by a servant, and Xiaoyao sent two maids to take care of him..."

Huang Po was filled with indignation when she heard this.

"I heard that Lord Cao has no children, and his wife died a few years ago, and he never remarried!" Ji Xiaobei heard this from Jiaojiao.

Jiaojiao deals with the noble ladies of Anzhou every day.

These things are what they talk about after dinner.

"Oh, no wonder! It's not easy for Old Man Cao."

There was a bit more sympathy in Huang Po's eyes.

Ji Xiaobei felt that something was not right with Huang Po, as if she was too concerned about Lord Cao.

Fu Jichang rode Ma Debiao to Taoran Ju, drank a pot of wine alone, and fell asleep in a single room in a daze.

He hasn't had a good night's sleep in these days.

He always felt that there was an invisible net behind him and he couldn't break free even if he wanted to.

It's suffocating.
