"This is what everyone in the capital is painting for the master." The housekeeper said:

"Last year, the master cured the disease of the eldest daughter of the grandson who came from the capital. To express his gratitude, he made this portrait of the master on the spot."

"Master Sun of the Capital? Is it Sun Boqing?" Jiang Xiaoshu suddenly realized. No wonder he saw this portrait so familiar. It turned out that the author was Sun Boqing, the disciple of Wu Yinqiao, the "Painting Saint", and the most luxurious restaurant in the capital - Zuixiao Paiyun Tower. There is a gorgeous and painted scene of the prosperous New Year Qin City covering the entire building. The painting was written by Sun Boqing. As a frequent visitor of Zuixiao Paiyun Tower, when he first saw this painting, he felt that the brushwork of the brush looked very familiar, and no wonder he felt strange.

But even though he knew that the portrait was painted by Sun Boqing, Jiang Xiaoshu still stared at the portrait for a while, as if he wanted to see a flower from the painting. After a moment, he looked around and immediately asked the butler:

"Butler, can Do Doctor Si often go out for medical treatment?"

The housekeeper thought for a while and said:

"More than ten years ago, the master just started his education, so he naturally practiced medicine everywhere and walked around the world. He carried a medicine box and walked all over Yizhou. After he became the name of "miracle doctor", he never went out for consultations. All the patients came to seek medical treatment. What's more, the master suffered from congenital cold disease and had frequent attacks in recent years. Even in summer, he often had to go to the fire room to keep warm, so it was naturally even more impossible to go out for consultations. However, this matter was ashamed of by the master. It was a secret in our official residence. People in the mansion dared not discuss it privately, let alone spread it outside, otherwise they would be punished by the master."

Jiang Xiaoshu remembered the half bowl of medicinal soup in the fire room. It seemed that he was born with cold and sickness, and it was true.

Jiang Xiaoshu nodded, walked to the bookcase behind the table, picked up a few books to read, which were filled with medical records of the miracle doctor Si. The records were so detailed that even the big yellow dog in the hospital broke his legs and attached a summary.

"It seems that he can become a miracle doctor because it is not accidental." Jiang Xiaoshu secretly admired him and continued to flip through the books, but he found an unusual place - the two layers of the bookcase are medical books, and the penultimate layer fell a lot of dust, but the top layer was very clean.

Jiang Xiaoshu locked a book "Qianjin Fang" from the top pile of books at a glance.

Jiang Xiaoshu opened the book "Qianjin Fang" and found that this book was just a shell of "Qianjin Fang", but it was actually the daily medical record of Doctor Si's genius. And it was not an ordinary record. When he glanced at him, Jiang Xiaoshu saw the following words:

"On a certain day and a certain day, an official, who had sex, had ten taels of gold for treatment... A wealthy businessman, had a hair loss on his head, five taels of gold for treatment... A serious criminal, had a knife wound, twenty taels of gold for treatment... A certain bandit, had a crossbow and arrow wound, had a hundred taels of gold for treatment, but had not been cured..."

It seems that the patients in this booklet are either difficult to express their illness, or have a very sensitive identity, or both. Most of the medical expenses for this type of person are given a lot of money, and the extra finances in the vault are probably contributed by them.

Jiang Xiaoshu's mind immediately linked the existing clues into a line - the treasury was not stolen, which means that the murderer was not seeking money, and the deceased were all relatives of the genius doctor Si, which was very likely to be a revenge; and more than 30 people were killed almost at the same time, which means that the murderer knew martial arts and knew the specific residence of the genius doctor Si and his relatives in the mansion; the genius doctor Si had cold diseases, which was the secret of the mansion, and only his own family knew that, and the genius doctor Si died in the fire room. Combined with the above point, it was even more possible that there was an insider in the mansion, and it was even very likely that he was the same person as the murderer...

With one missing, Jiang Xiaoshu frowned secretly. The identity and motive of the murderer were already roughly there, but even if it was confirmed that it was a revenge, then who would Doctor Si have a grudge against?

After thinking about it, Jiang Xiaoshu still looked at the medical record containing "Qianjin Fang". Most of the people in this record had a hidden secret. If it was to kill people to silence them, it would not be...

"Young Master Jiang, there is new news over the coroner." The voice of the yamen runner interrupted Jiang Xiaoshu's contemplation, and the yamen runner said:

"The coroner found the 'wind' in the nasal cavity of all the corpses."

"When you see the wind fall?" Jiang Xiaoshu felt that it was not a good thing when he heard this name. The yamen runners were jealously adding:

"That is the sweating pill commonly used by flower-picking thieves. These evil thieves do evil everywhere and harm the women of good families. The culprit selling this "wind" drug is the bandits of the "Tianwang Cave" who occupy the mountains and is the king in the northern suburbs of Jinguan City. They and the bandits of the "Baishazhai" in the eastern suburbs are called the two major disasters of Jinguan City! The trafficking of drugs to harm the good families, while Baishazhai kills the house and kidnap the house and blackmail them. They all do evil things that are full of conscience..."

Hearing this, Jiang Xiaoshu's eyes lit up, he put the medical record in his arms, and said to the yamen runners:

"Tell the magistrate, find me a quiet room, and say that everyone is waiting outside the house, and I want to inquire about the case."

"Wang Xiaoqi, Li Si, Ma Zhuang..." Jiang Xiaoshu's voice came from the room, and the summoned people entered one by one. Most of them came out with confusion in less than a moment. When others asked, they all said in a daze:

“He asked me how old I am this year.”

"Young Master Jiang asked me how many years I have been in the mansion."

"Oh, how can I ask what the name is? It's so embarrassing..."

"I'm just a dog, and I'll try the case. Ask my wife how tall she is, what does it mean..."

"I didn't see Mr. Jiang from beginning to end. After I took a lot of courage to circle around, his voice suddenly came, saying that I could leave... It's really inexplicable."

None of the people who were called in were asked about the murder.

The yamen runners looked at each other, their eyes full of contempt - seeing Jiang Xiaoshu pretending to be mysterious, but it was no different from those pussies before...

The prefect looked gloomy: This boy named Jiang is like this and he is irresistible. I don’t care whether you are a juren or not, just use a big stick to knock him out...

At this time, a servant came over:

"Prince, Mr. Jiang asked you to take the soldiers to the southwest corner of the Si Mansion and form a circle inside and outside."

The prefect said unhappy:

"What's the reason for this? It's so whimsical..."

"Mr. Jiang said that the reason is explained in detail in this letter, please check it out."

The prefect took the envelope casually, and it was half taken away. After a look, his expression changed drastically. He immediately called the captain of the guard:

"Call everyone and follow me to the southwest corner."

There was no letter in the envelope, only a famous post by Xiaohong, the courtesan of Yihong Courtyard, and a silver note of 200 taels.

…………

"Xiao Wu." The summons sounded.

Xiao Wu, whose right arm was wrapped in bandages, lowered his head and walked into the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he heard Jiang Xiaoshu quietly following him, but he remained silent and buried his head in front of him:

"Young Master Jiang, I'm here."
