The little heroine investigates a mysterious case

In the vast night, Zhao Xuan, sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain, stuck her head out, and looked at the small village that was getting farther and farther away but with faintly flickering lights, and she couldn't help feeling sad.

She once again lost the home where she and Huang Shuo had lived for ten years. She didn't know what else she would lose in the future. What could she lose?

Thinking of this, Zhao Xuan lowered the car curtain and looked at Huang Shuo. Fortunately, Xiao Yixian had helped Huang Shuo stabilize his condition, otherwise she might really lose Huang Shuo, the person who loved her the most.

Huang Shuo seemed to know what Zhao Xuan was thinking and patted her shoulder.

: "Don't worry, let's not go to Qingshan Valley first, let's go to Fengcheng first."

"Fengcheng? What are you going there for?"

"Look for an old friend. If we find him, we can have a new home."

At the same time the next day, Uncle Wu explained the situation to the visitor.

"I've asked everyone in the village, and I've finally learned that Blacksmith Huang did indeed wander here with his daughter ten years ago. It roughly matches the time you told me, but it's been so long. Some say his daughter looks a bit like the child in the portrait, while others say she doesn't. I've seen the child as a child, but children grow so quickly, so I can't be sure."

"Where is the blacksmith Huang now?"

Uncle Wu pointed to the tile-roofed house not far away.

"That's where they live, but the blacksmith Huang has been ill for some time. His daughter took him to the city to see a doctor two days ago."

The man immediately went into the tile-roofed house and searched it carefully, but of course he found nothing.

Before leaving, the man asked Uncle Wu, "What's the name of Blacksmith Huang's daughter?"

"Daylily."

The man looked at Uncle Wu in surprise: "Daylily? Is that really its name?"

"Of course."

A few days later, when Hu Yiba learned that Huang Huacai had been living in Heyan Village outside Yanzhou City, and might have some connection with Zhao Xuan, whom the mysterious man had been asking to find, he was overjoyed.

If Daylily is Zhao Xuan, then this time she will be in big trouble and will not be able to escape!

When Hu Yiba thought of this, he immediately passed this clue to the mysterious man secretly, and then waited patiently for the mysterious man's next instructions.

At this time, Zhao Xuan, Huang Shuo and their group were standing in front of the Changxiangju Restaurant, looking up at the magnificent four-story building with their mouths wide open in surprise.

"Dad, is this the old friend you were talking about? Is he a cook or a waiter?"

"That's right, he's talking about this place, and he also said he's the boss."

"It's really... a huge profit!"

Zhao Xuan, Huang Shuo and three others were welcomed into the restaurant by a waiter. When he heard that they were looking for the boss, he asked the boss's name and asked them to wait for a while.

The Little Medical Fairy looked at Zhao Xuan and said, "You two old friends must have a lot to talk about after meeting again. I won't bother you anymore and will return to Jiaoyang Valley first."

Zhao Xuan hugged Xiao Yixiang's shoulders, feeling somewhat displeased.

"Are you afraid that I won't trust you? You healed my wounds and cured my father's illness. We even fought off those who were chasing me together. I've long considered you a good sister!"

"As a doctor, saving lives and healing the wounded is my duty. But that doesn't mean I'll be devoted to you. Everyone has their own story, and it's not necessarily a good thing to casually enter someone else's story."

"You don't want to help me?"

"I may not have that ability."

Huang Shuo said, "Don't embarrass Xiao Yixian. She's right. We all have our own paths and lives we want to live. It has nothing to do with trust or not."

At this time, there was a heavy and urgent sound of footsteps coming from the stairs.

Everyone looked towards the stairs and saw a slightly plump middle-aged man with a smile on his face running down the stairs. He almost tripped on the way, but fortunately the guy next to him reached out to hold him, and the middle-aged man successfully reached the four people.

Zhao Xuan looked at the middle-aged man in surprise.

"You are...Guo...Uncle Guo Da?!"

"Xuan...Cai Cai! Lao Huang! I finally see you!"

Guo Da opened his arms and hugged both of them in his arms.

"I missed you guys so much!"

Huang Shuo pushed Guo Da away.

"As a grown man, don't you find it offensive to hug each other?"

"I'm really excited to see you guys! Old Huang, come on, tell me how you suddenly came to your senses? Are you willing to leave that village?"

Xiao Yixian nodded to Dongtian and walked towards the door. Zhao Xuan called Xiao Yixian.

"Let Dongtian go back with you. I'm worried about you being alone."

The Little Medical Fairy smiled faintly at Zhao Xuan, said goodbye to everyone, and got on the carriage with Dong Tian.

In the carriage, Dongtian was driving and turned around to ask the little medical fairy sitting in the carriage.

"Little Medical Fairy, do you also think that the boss's background is a bit strange? Is that why you're worried about trouble in the future and don't want to get too involved with the boss?"

"In this life, I only want to cure diseases and save lives. Other things have nothing to do with me, and I don't want to care about them. I am not afraid of trouble, nor do I care about wealth and glory."

Having said that, Xiao Yixian looked towards Dongtian.

"But you're different. Since you've decided that Daylily is your boss, you have to help her wholeheartedly from now on. Do you understand?"

Dongtian didn't quite understand what he said, but still nodded seriously.

In the luxurious private room of the restaurant, Guo Da had a heavy face and tears in his eyes.

"Two gangs of robbers attacked at the same time? And he was hit by a poisoned arrow..."

Zhao Xuan took out the poison arrowhead she carried with her and handed it to Guo Da.

"Uncle Guo, I think we should start the investigation with this poisoned arrowhead."

Guo Da wiped his tears, took the poisonous arrow and looked at it carefully.

"The workmanship looks really fine, it doesn't look like something an ordinary bandit could make..."

"Nonsense!" Huang Shuo glanced at Guo Da with disdain. "I put so much effort into making those ten crossbow arrows for Cai Cai! I used the pattern of this poisonous arrowhead as a reference. Not only the bandits, but even the archers in the army might not be equipped with them. At least it takes a master archer to fire a few!"

Zhao Xuan looked at Huang Shuo with some dissatisfaction.

"Dad! If you knew this, why didn't you tell me earlier?! Are you saying that these two gangs of robbers are likely from the Xia, Yue, or Song armies?"

"I didn't understand it at first, but after working more iron, I slowly figured it out. I didn't tell you because you were too young back then, and I thought it was quite complicated. I couldn't figure it out myself, so how could I tell you?"

Guo Da pondered, "I do have an idea. The Xia Kingdom has always been led by Qin Shao. Xiao Man and Qin Shao have been through thick and thin together, and she even served as his advisor. How could someone in the Xia army secretly send troops to attack and kill the envoys led by the Crown Prince? It doesn't make sense! Even if it was really the Xia army that did it, the Crown Prince died so tragically. It is said that he was shot by several arrows and died on the spot. The Emperor will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly. How could that group of people stay out of it? The Emperor has already ordered them to be cut into pieces, so what does it have to do with the Jigong Mountain bandits?"

Zhao Xuan said in a deep voice, "Have you ever considered that perhaps the Jigong Mountain bandits were also involved in the attack and murder back then, and were a third force?"
