Chapter 9 Chapter 8: Lanzhou City, cleverly breaking the plan of poisonous insects

A drop of crystal water fell on Pan Jun's face, and he couldn't help raising his head, only to see that the sky was covered with dark clouds at this moment, and little raindrops fell from the black clouds. "Brother Pan, it looks like it's going to rain!" Yan Yun followed Pan Jun on a horse.Early this morning, Pan Jun and Yan Yun woke up and found that the old man had disappeared. They searched around the house and found nothing but two horses. It seems that the old man must not want to show up again. Thinking of this level, Pan Jun decided to set off with Yan Yun immediately.

The valley is not very far from the Yellow River path, and it took less than half an hour to get back to the path.What surprised them was that, although it was only overnight, the water in front of the Yellow River actually rose several feet high, and the rolling Yellow River water was mixed with silt, sand and debris, rolling over in huge waves. "Brother Pan, you look at the Yellow River as if it's flooding!" Yan Yun followed Pan Jun on the path along the bank of the Yellow River, and the huge waves covered one wave after another, which made people a little startled. "Well, it seems that there must have been a heavy rain in the upper reaches of the Yellow River!" Pan Jun said, thinking of the hundreds of millions of fireflies last night. The old man once said that a real insect repellent must master the changes of nature. The fireflies had already expected that the water in the Yellow River would surge, so they gathered together like last night.

"Brother Pan, I don't know where Master Feng and the others are now!" Yan Yun said worriedly. "If it goes well, I think they will rush to Lanzhou City ahead of us!" Pan Jun said and patted the horse's back. In fact, Pan Jun was also quite worried about Feng Wanchun's safety at the moment, which made him feel uneasy. There is another reason for Ning's death, and that is the insects of death that appear mysteriously and whose whereabouts are uncertain. This place is only tens of miles away from Lanzhou City, Pan Jun and Yan Yun rode their horses and whipped their whips, and it only took half a day to reach the outside of Lanzhou City.With the arrival of the two, the long-planned heavy rain began to cover the sky, billowing black clouds, and blood-red lightning could be seen from time to time in the dark clouds.

The two entered Lanzhou City without hesitation. This Lanzhou City is an important town on the ancient Silk Road. The mountains in the north and south face each other, and the Yellow River in the east and west runs through it. It stretches for more than a hundred miles. The water is moving but the mountains are quiet. There are many mountains and mountains, vigorous and majestic.And since then, Xiangxi has completely got rid of the Japanese sphere of influence.They entered Lanzhou City from the east of the city, and saw a carriage parked in the corner of the city gate. As soon as they saw Pan Jun entering the city, the carriage immediately followed and stopped beside Pan Jun and Yan Yun. Only a familiar voice came from inside: "Shaodong, you are finally here!"

Yan Yun and Pan Jun looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a person walking out of the carriage. That person was none other than Liu Jin, the owner of the Oracle Bone Hall in Anyang City.This Liu Jin followed Pan Jun's orders when Wanniao attacked Anyang, and came straight from Anyang by train to Lanzhou. At this time, Pan Jun and others had arrived in Lanzhou for several days. Pan Jun felt very cordial when he saw Liu Jin. Although it was only a few days away, he had experienced several lives and deaths.Although it was only a few days between life and death, it seemed to have gone through several years.Pan Jun nodded and said, "Uncle Liu Jin, Master Feng and the others have already arrived in Lanzhou City?"

"Well, they arrived last night!" Liu Jin pondered for a while when he said this, hesitant to speak, and said after a while, "Young Master, you should follow me to the Cordyceps Hall first!" After speaking, Liu Jin led Pan Jun and Yan Yun into the car. Yan Yun had never seen Liu Jin in Anyang City before, but Feng Wanchun told the experience of Anyang City along the way, so Yan Yun had already heard about Liu Jin.The carriage headed north along Hong En Street, and after turning a few streets, the golden signboard of Cordyceps Hall could be seen from a distance. The carriage did not stop at the entrance of the Cordyceps Hall, but went around another street and stopped at the back door of the Cordyceps Hall.Liu Jin got out of the car, held up an umbrella and waited outside before Pan Jun and Yan Yun got out of the car.Liu Jin tapped lightly on the door twice, and the door opened slowly. An old man in his forties nodded slightly to Liu Jin and said, "Young Master, you are back!"

Liu Jin smiled, and led Pan Jun and Yan Yun into the backyard of the Cordyceps Hall.The Cordyceps Hall in Lanzhou has three courtyards, the first courtyard is a medical center, the second courtyard is where the staff lives, and the courtyard is piled with medicinal herbs, and the third courtyard is the residence of the owner.The courtyard of the third entrance courtyard is very large, and the surrounding walls are full of creepers, which spread all the way to the outside of the wall.There is a rockery in the middle of the courtyard, on which the owner ingeniously arranged pavilions and pavilions.

Liu Jin followed the servant and led Pan Jun and Yan Yun into the main hall. There are several nanmu chairs on the left and right of the main hall, which are divided into two rooms on the left and right.Liu Jin invited Pan Jun to the upper seat, and after the servant brought a cup of tea, Liu Jin ordered him to go down.Yan Yun stood in the room and looked around, and after a long time said: "Uncle Liu Jin, where are Master Feng and the others now?" As soon as these words came out, Liu Jin frowned slightly, walked up to Pan Jun and knelt down on the ground with a "thump", Pan Jun was startled by his sudden move, and he quickly got up to support Liu Jin and said, "Uncle Liu Jin, what's the matter?" When he just entered the city, Pan Jun had already seen that Liu Jin seemed to be hiding something, and seeing Liu Jin doing this now, something must have happened.

"Young master, forgive me Liu Jin for being incompetent. Master Feng and his party were taken away as soon as they entered Lanzhou City!" Liu Jin said sadly. "What?" Pan Jun grabbed Liu Jin's arm tightly with both hands in surprise and said, "Uncle Liu Jin, you said that Master Feng and his group were taken away?" "Yes!" Liu Jin felt that he had been entrusted by Pan Jun, knelt on the ground, and said without moving, "I estimated that you should arrive at Lanzhou City in a few days, so I guarded inside the city gate day and night. I'm afraid that there will be any mistakes. But last night, I saw Master Feng and the others entering Lanzhou City. Just as they were about to go forward, a car drove out from nowhere. Several people got out of the car and brought Master Feng, Miss Duan and the child into Inside the car, walk away before our eyes!"

"Is it Japanese?" Pan Jun knew that this place should no longer be under the sphere of influence of the Japanese, but now the forces of all parties are intertwined, and it is unknown that there are Japanese spies lurking in Lanzhou City. Liu Ting shook his head and said, "Last night I secretly inquired, and only later did I learn that the people who took Master Feng and the others away were not Japanese!" "Not Japanese? Who is that?" Pan Jun asked suspiciously. "This man's name is Xue Gui, and he has opened several gambling houses and pawnshops in Lanzhou City. Whether it's the government or the gangsters here, he is a man who can speak with his hands and eyes!" Liu Jin stated eloquently.

"Xue Gui?" Pan Jun murmured the name silently, as if he had heard of it somewhere, and suddenly he remembered that outside Anyang City, Aixinjueluo Gengnian had asked him to deliver a letter to a person in Lanzhou City. The person's name is Xue Gui. "It turned out to be him!" "What? Young master, do you know this person?" Liu Jin looked at Pan Jun in surprise. Pan Jun nodded slightly: "Before I came here, someone asked me to bring a letter to a man named Xue Gui who lives in Lanzhou City. It must be this person!" "In this case, why did he kidnap Master Feng?" Liu Jin asked in confusion. In fact, Pan Jun was also very puzzled at this moment, that Aixinjueluo Gengnian had been hiding it all the time, he only said that he brought a letter but did not explain anything else. But Pan Jun can be sure of one thing at this moment, that is, Master Feng and his party will not be in danger now.He gently helped Liu Jin up and said, "Uncle Liu Jin, it's hard for you. You are not to blame for this matter, you should get up first!" After hearing these words, Liu Jin felt a little more comfortable and stood up. "What kind of person is this Xue Gui? Uncle Liu Jin, please tell me in detail!" Pan Jun took a sip of tea and said. "Xue Gui should be around forty years old. He has lived in Lanzhou City for generations. He can be called the number one rich merchant in Lanzhou City. This Lanzhou City is the fortress of the Silk Road. His family was engaged in silk trading in the early years. Started the 'tea horse' business. His family was wealthy, unmatched in Lanzhou City!" Liu Jin told Pan Jun everything he knew, and Pan Jun was thinking while drinking tea.What was Aixinjueluo Gengnian's intention in asking him to deliver the letter? Seeing that Pan Jun was frowning tightly, Liu Jin stopped talking. At this moment, the servant rushed in from the outside in a hurry and said, "Young master, there is someone who wants to see..." The servant glanced at the sitting Pan Jun, who was in the seat, didn't continue talking. "Who is it?" Liu Jin immediately stood up and asked. The servant shook his head: "That person only said to give you this thing, and you will definitely meet him!" As he spoke, the servant took out something from his bosom and handed it to Liu Jin with both hands, Liu Jin took it over and took a look, It turned out to be a Ming ghost, no need to ask, this Ming ghost must be the one worn by the golden dragon.He raised his head to see Pan Jun, only to see Pan Jun smiled slightly and said: "The one who should come will come, and it is much easier for him to come than us to find him. Since he is so interested in me, let's Let's see what kind of person this Xue Gui is!" "How many people are here?" Liu Jin said cautiously. "Three, a middle-aged man, and two others who look like attendants!" This person usually pays more attention to things related to himself. For example, the cook is concerned about other people's cooking skills, and the doctor is concerned It is the level of other people's medical skills, but the servant is most concerned about the identity of the visitor.It is also because of this that he has a pair of good eyes, and he can distinguish all kinds of people from his demeanor and conversation when he stands in front of him. Therefore, in his concept, there are only two kinds of people: masters and servants. "Let them come in!" Pan Jun said lightly, the servant nodded, turned and walked outside, in fact, when Pan Jun and Yan Yun came in, the servant had already seen that Pan Jun's identity was extraordinary. After a while, the servant ushered in a man of about forty years old wearing a black coat, a pair of round glasses, short hair and a square face.As soon as the man stepped into the room, he looked around for a while, and finally his eyes fell on Pan Jun. He smiled and cupped his hands and said, "This must be Pan Jun, the famous doctor in the capital who is famous in the capital!" Pan Jun stood up and bowed his hands in return, "You should be Mr. Xue Guixue, right?" "Haha!" Xue Guilang smiled and said, "It's me!" "It's just that I don't know why Mr. Xue wanted to kidnap a few of my companions?" Pan Jun said straight to the point. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Xue Gui cupped his hands repeatedly, "Master Pan, this is really a misunderstanding, how dare I rob Master Pan's people, I really want to invite them to my home!" "Nonsense!" Liu Tan, who was standing aside, said angrily, "I clearly saw with my own eyes that your subordinates stuffed people into the car!" "Shopkeeper Liu, this is indeed a misunderstanding!" Xue Gui explained with a sigh, "A letter from an old friend a few days ago said that Master Pan will arrive in Lanzhou in the near future. I have heard of Master Pan's name for a long time, so I wholeheartedly hope to see it True appearance. And my old friend was afraid that Master Pan would have nowhere to go here, so I sent someone to wait at the gate of the city day and night, lest Master Pan would encounter trouble after entering the city. I saw those people entering the city last night. Knowing that they are outsiders, they stepped forward to question them, and only then did they learn that they were with you, Mr. Pan. So I invited a few of you to my home!" "So that's it!" Pan Jun said thoughtfully, "Could it be that old friend you mentioned?" "Gengnian!" Xue Gui continued, "I wanted to wait at the gate of the city in person today, but you were taken here as soon as you entered the city. I was afraid that Master Pan might misunderstand, so I came here!" "Oh!" Pan Jun nodded and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Xue, please sit down!" After hearing these words, Liu Jin felt much more relaxed, gave up his seat, and ordered the servant to pour a cup of tea for Xue Gui. Although Xue Gui was over forty years old, he was still a little nervous when he sat next to Pan Jun, going up and down from time to time. He looked at Pan Jun. "By the way, Mr. Xue, here is a letter from Geng Nian that I asked me to bring to you!" As Pan Jun took out the letter from Geng Nian from his pocket, Xue Gui took the letter with both hands and unfolded it while looking at the expression on his face. The expression became more and more relaxed. After a while, Xue Gui put away the letter and stood up and walked to Pan Jun. Pan Jun was a little surprised to see Xue Gui kneeling on the ground with a "plop", which really surprised everyone present. . Pan Jun got up quickly to support Xue Gui and said, "Mr. Xue, why are you doing this?" Seeing that Xue Gui's eyes were blurred with tears at this time, his body was trembling and he said: "Please also ask Master Pan to save my daughter's life!" "You get up first!" Pan Jun winked at Liu Jin, and Liu Jin took two steps forward to help Xue Gui up and sit on the chair beside him, Xue Gui took out a handkerchief and wiped it lightly and said : "Master Pan, Brother Gengnian specially asked you to bring this letter to me because he was afraid that I might identify the wrong person!" "Hmm!" Pan Jun had already thought of this point, "Mr. Xue, what did you just say about your daughter...?" "Master Pan, you don't know. I, Xue Gui, can be regarded as one of the top figures in Lanzhou City. It may be that I have committed too many crimes in my previous life. I have no children. I only have one daughter. I have always regarded him as the apple of my eye. But who knows that my daughter five years ago But for some reason, I contracted a strange disease. I can’t wake up all day long, and my body smells so bad. Before that, I visited famous doctors in the vicinity but there was no result. Finally, I heard that Pan Jun, a famous doctor in Beijing, has the art of rejuvenation. It’s far away from here, and the situation of the Japanese invasion of China was turbulent and unstable, so I can only let it go! Later, when Geng Nian said that you would come to Lanzhou City, I was overjoyed, thinking about my daughter’s illness for many years It must be saved!" Pan Jun stood up and said, "In that case, let's go see your daughter first!" In fact, even though Xue Gui said so, Pan Jun was still worried about the safety of Feng Wanchun and others, and now he was eager to see Feng Wanchun and others . "Ah?" Pan Jun's words obviously exceeded Xue Gui's expectations. His purpose of coming here was to resolve the misunderstanding. He thought that this famous doctor in the capital must be quite polite. He never expected that Pan Jun would agree so happily. He was stunned for a long time before saying, " well!" "Yan Yun, you and Uncle Liu Yu are waiting here. I will be back later!" Pan Jun said to Yan Yun. Yan Yun frowned and wanted to go with Pan Jun, but he was too reckless before. So he nodded impatiently. After speaking, Pan Jun followed Xue Gui and left Lanzhou Cordyceps Hall. But it said that the car drove from Cordyceps Hall via Hong En Street to Chengguan District in the southeast, passed through Lanzhou City, and arrived at Guangwumen on the east side of Dongkuo. The car stopped at the gate of a house gate. The servant ran out with an umbrella in his hand.Pan Jun followed Xue Gui out of the car, this house can be regarded as one of the best buildings even in Beiping City.Pan Jun followed Xue Gui to the back courtyard through the corridor, bypassing a rockery garden imitating Suzhou, and a row of blue-tiled and glazed buildings appeared in front of him. As Xue Gui walked, he ordered his subordinates to find Feng Wanchun and others. Xue Gui took Pan Jun straight to the row of houses in front of him. The inside of the house was very spacious, with famous landscape calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, and a large desk There were pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and some antiques and jades were placed on the golden nanmu shelf behind the table. Pan Jun looked at it and suddenly a familiar voice came from behind. "Pan Jun!" Pan Jun turned his head and saw Feng Wanchun walking forward with a smile like a peach blossom, and behind him were Duan Er'e and Jin Long.Feng Wanchun held Pan Jun's hand tightly and said, "I didn't expect it would be many years after just one day, haha!" "It's good to see that you are all right!" Pan Jun said a little excitedly. "Don't worry, if Duan girl and Xiao Jinzi were not handed over to you smoothly, my old Feng would not dare to die even if he wanted to!" Feng Wanchun patted Pan Jun on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Huh? By the way, that stubborn Where's the bad-tempered girl?" The stubborn temper Feng Wanchun mentioned was of course Yan Yun, and Pan Jun smiled and said, "Yan Yun is now staying with Liu Jin in the Cordyceps Hall!" "Liu Jin is here too?" Before Feng Wanchun didn't know that Pan Jun would make such an arrangement, Pan Jun smiled slightly, then looked at Feng Wanchun in surprise and said, "Where is Qiao Rong?" "Huh?" Feng Wanchun said in a daze, "I thought he was with you!" "What's going on?" Pan Jun said in surprise. "The night that Yan Yun left, Qiao Rong heard that her savior had left. She was afraid that she would be in danger, so she left after you!" Feng Wanchun's words made Pan Jun even more puzzled. Could it be that Qiao Rong followed him into that place? In the mist, thinking of this, Pan Jun couldn't help feeling a little regretful. If he really entered the mist, he might have died in the Yellow River by now. "Just now Mr. Xue said you've arrived, I thought he was joking, but I didn't expect you to have arrived!" Feng Wanchun said with a smile. At this time Xue Gui came over and said in a low voice, "Master Pan..." Pan Jun nodded knowingly, and then said to Feng Wanchun: "Master Feng, you wait here for a moment, I will follow Xue Gui as soon as I go!" Feng Wanchun nodded, and then Pan Jun followed Xue Gui to leave the hall, and walked back along the corridor on the side. After walking for about a stick of incense, a small courtyard appeared in front of Pan Jun. It was built on a mountain, about a mile away from the previous hall, probably because Xue Gui built it specially for fear that outsiders would disturb his daughter's recuperation.Xue Gui came to the door and gently opened the courtyard door, a faint scent of orchids rushed towards his face, Pan Jun frowned slightly, the scent of orchids was rich and strong, lingering for a long time and never ending. The courtyard in front of me is not big, and the courtyard is full of orchids of various colors, including Chunlan, Jianlan, Chunjian, Lianpetal, Cymbidium, and Hanlan, all of which are readily available, and the original small courtyard is piled up like an orchid. The flower garden is average, and it is not difficult to see from the orchids that the owner is very attentive. Passing through the aisle in the middle of the yard, Xue Gui took Pan Jun to the door and stopped, took out two sachets from a wooden box beside the door and handed them to Pan Jun, saying, "Master Pan, the smelly smell in my daughter's room Incomparably, you should wear this!" Pan Jun smiled and waved his hand. Xue Gui hesitated for a moment, and put the sachet he had prepared for himself back into the wooden box, and then opened the door, and a stench rushed out from inside instantly, making people feel sick. Nausea and dizziness.Pan Jun resisted the stench, followed Xue Gui into the room, and saw that the windows of the room were closed, and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old was lying on a big bed. The stench came from the girl.Pan Jun walked slowly to the girl, took out the girl's right hand and pressed the girl's wrist. The girl's pulse was slow and strong, and her qi and blood flowed slowly, which was a symptom of real cold, but the girl's face was rosy, without any haze, and it didn't match the pulse condition.This is indeed a strange disease.After about half an hour, Pan Jun let go of the girl's hand, thinking about the girl's illness in his heart. And Xue Gui has been standing aside, covering his nose with his hands and staring at Pan Jun, hoping to see some hope from his face, but to his great disappointment, Pan Jun has been silently meditating, with a calm expression on his face. expression. "Master Pan..." Seeing Pan Jun contemplating for a long time, Xue Gui couldn't hold it anymore, but he began to regret it as soon as he said it. If Pan Jun didn't say anything, he still had a little hope in his heart. hope will be dashed. Pan Jun raised his head, but he didn't look at Xue Gui, but looked around the room. The girl's boudoir was not too big. In front of her was a table carved with pear wood, on which were placed the four treasures of the study, such as Hu brush and Hui ink.And the wooden shelf behind the desk is filled with orchids of various colors just like the ones outside, but the orchids in front of him are all withered and withered. Pan Jun stood up and said: "Mr. You like orchids so much?" "Ah?" Xue Gui was obviously a little disappointed, but he didn't dare to show it and said hastily, "Actually, my little girl likes orchids as companions since she was a child. I have been taking good care of her flowers since she fell ill. After waking up and seeing these orchids, I will be happier, who knows that this sleep will last for a few years." Xue Gui's eyes couldn't help getting moist when he said this. But Pan Jun seemed to turn a blind eye to Xue Gui, and walked to the flower stand in front of him, looked at the orchids and said, "Miss raises a full range of orchids, and this is the first time I've seen many orchids!" "Yes, I spent a lot of effort to collect a lot of orchids from all over the country!" Xue Gui glanced at his sleeping daughter, and couldn't help feeling sad again. "The orchids in this room have withered like this, why haven't they been replaced?" Pan Jun stretched out his hand to search for something on the orchid stand. "In fact, these orchids are changed every day, just because the stench in this room has killed all those flowers!" Xue Gui said helplessly. "Hehe!" Pan Jun smiled and took out a small pot of orchids from the orchid stand and put them on the table, and said, "Do you also change this pot of orchids every day?" Xue Gui raised his head to look at the pot of orchid on the table, the pot of this orchid is much smaller than others, usually hidden in those pots are often overlooked, but although this pot of orchid is small, its branches and leaves are full Emerald green and smooth like jade, the leaves are narrow and wide, with distinct teeth, a prominent midrib, and different colors of flowers, including yellow, white, green, and light red, as well as colorful flowers and butterfly flowers.Although the stench in this room was pungent, one could still smell the fragrance from the orchid. Seeing this, Xue Gui shook his head and said: "This orchid has never been replaced!" Suddenly his eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Master Pan, could it be that this orchid caused my daughter's illness?" Pan Jun nodded slightly and said: "I'm afraid it is. I just smelled a strange fragrance when I entered the yard. It's just that there are a lot of orchids in the yard, so I didn't pay much attention to it. But just now I took the lady's pulse and found that the lady's pulse is the same as Her complexion is extremely inconsistent!" "Well, several famous doctors who have been here before have also said that the little girl's steady and slow pulse condition should be a symptom of severe cold, but her complexion is rosy and good, and she has been prescribed several prescriptions, but there is no improvement at all!" General Xue Gui Chen and Pan Jun were all mentioned by those doctors before. "That's right, Miss, this should not be a disease, she is really poisoned!" Pan Jun said with a long breath. "Poisoned?" Seeing what Pan Jun said, Xue Gui quickly knelt down on the ground, "Since Master Pan knows about my daughter's illness, please save my daughter's life!" "Why is Mr. Xue like this, healers are parents!" Pan Jun helped Xue Gui up and said. "Then please hurry up and give the prescription, Master Pan, so that I can order someone to fetch the medicine right away!" Xue Gui said excitedly. "No hurry, I have something I want to ask you first!" Pan Jun leaned into Xue Gui's ear and whispered a few words. Gui Xiang took two steps back, looked up and down the young man in his twenties in surprise and said in surprise, "Master Pan, did you come to Lanzhou before? How did you know about this?" "So I'm right?" Pan Jun smiled slightly. "Indeed!" Xue Gui nodded. "That's right!" Pan Jun said, turned around, picked up the brush, wrote a few lines on the rice paper, and handed it to Xue Guidao, "Everything written on it must be ready! " The excitement on Xue Gui's face when he took the rice paper froze immediately, and he saw on the paper: a pair of white paper boys and girls, a pot of dog blood, a pack of realgar, and three sticks of high fragrance. "Master Pan, this is..." Xue Gui looked at the so-called prescription in puzzlement, and what he answered was not a prescription, but more like a thing of exorcising ghosts and jumping gods. Pan Jun smiled and said, "Just do it, I have my own magical effect!" Although Xue Gui was full of doubts, he didn't dare to ask more questions.After all, he was the only one who could tell the cause of his daughter's illness. He nodded and brought Pan Jun back to the front living room. At this time, Feng Wanchun had already drank three or five cups of tea and was getting impatient. When he saw Pan Jun, he went up to meet him and said, "What are you doing, boy?" Pan Jun smiled and said, "Master Feng, take Miss Duan and Jin Long to the Cordyceps Hall to meet Yan Yun first, I think she is also worried about your safety now, I still have something to do here, I will go back after finishing it !” After speaking, Pan Jun gently shook Feng Wanchun's shoulder, Feng Wanchun looked at Pan Jun's hand holding his shoulder, and then looked at Pan Jun suspiciously, just as he was about to speak, Pan Jun shook his head lightly , then turned his head and said to Xue Gui who was at the side: "Mr. Xue, please send Master Feng and the others back to the Cordyceps Hall first!" "Okay! I'll arrange for someone to take them there!" Xue Gui nodded and said. "Thank you!" Pan Jun cupped his hands. "Master Pan, why be so polite!" After Xue Gui finished speaking, he called the servant, Feng Wanchun and his party bid farewell to Pan Jun, and then followed the servant and left the gate of Xue's house.After seeing them leave, Pan Jun said: "Mr. Xue, you must do everything in the prescription I just gave you, otherwise..." Before Pan Jun finished speaking, Xue Gui repeatedly nodded and said: "Don't worry, everything is according to your orders, Master Pan. Slowly, let me buy these things, even if I cut off a piece of meat, as long as the little girl can do it well." I don't hesitate to get up!" The heavy rain stopped in the evening, and Pan Jun, who was standing at the window with his hands behind his back, looked at the rainbow in the afterglow of the setting sun, feeling a long-lost peace in his heart.In the past month or so, everything has hit Pan Jun like a long-planned conspiracy, making him a little breathless. Suddenly Pan Jun felt a stabbing pain in his head, and the sunset in front of him gradually turned into a blood-red dot. He tried his best, and Shi Miaomiao's voice rang in his ears. "Pan Jun, do you believe me?" Shi Miaomiao's shadow kept swaying in front of his eyes, and gradually that blood-red dot turned into a burning bonfire. Pan Jun carefully wrapped the red cloth bag in his hand and handed it to Shi Miaomiao, and said worriedly, "Where did you get this thing?" "Stop asking." Shi Miaomiao lowered her head and pondered for a moment and said, "Pan Jun, do you believe what I said?" "Hey!" Pan Junchang sighed and said, "Actually, I once doubted like you, but Miss Shi, I really can't imagine. If it is true as you said, how long has this shocking conspiracy been designed!" "Hehe!" Shi Miaomiao's indifferent smile gradually spread in front of Pan Jun's eyes, and he opened his eyes again to find himself standing at the window, his forehead covered with sweat.He wiped it lightly, turned his head and walked to the table behind him, picked up a pen and wrote two words on the rice paper: Secret Treasure. Night finally fell on this city in Northwest China. After a day of heavy rain, the sky at this moment was as clean as if it had been wiped clean by someone, and the dots of starlight dotted it made people feel refreshed. When the lights came on, the gate of Xue's house in the east of the city was very lively with lights and festoons. The servants and slaves had been busy in the courtyard since the evening. Xue Gui went to supervise everything in person. Although he didn't know what Pan Jun's intention was, but For the sake of her daughter's illness, she agreed one by one. However, the small courtyard where Xue Gui's daughter lives is extremely quiet. Xue Gui sent someone to set up a desk and incense burner in front of the lady's room early on. The white paper doll grinned, making people feel a little panicked.Pan Jun drew the pot of dog blood prepared in advance into an unsealed circle in front of the lady's bed, and then carefully placed the orchid into the unsealed circle. Seeing Pan Jun's series of strange actions, Xue Gui kept beating in his heart. Although he had already had confidence in Pan Jun's medical skills, it seemed that it had nothing to do with medical skills at the moment, and he looked more like a witch doctor pretending to be a ghost. Divine man. "Mr. Xue!" Pan Jun said after finishing all the preparations, "You will have all the servants leave the yard in a while, and then let people beat gongs and drums outside the yard and set off fireworks!" "Oh!" Xue Gui replied dully. "This is for you!" Pan Jun handed the large celadon bowl filled with dog blood to Xue Gui, and said, "If you see something getting into this circle later, seal the hole with dog blood superior." "Okay!" Xue Gui nodded, took the half bowl of dog blood to the door and followed Pan Jun's instructions, and then returned to the yard. Pan Jun was still standing in front of the incense burner in the yard and said: " Mr. Xue, you go in!" Xue Gui looked at Pan Jun, frowned hesitantly, seeing that he was full of confidence, he couldn't ask any more questions, and went back to the room.After a while, he smelled a strong fragrance, and after a while, Pan Jun shouted to the outside of the yard: "Fire the cannon!" In an instant, the firecrackers blared, and the drums rang loudly.Xue Gui stared intently at the unsealed circle in front of him, ready to fight. After the sound rang for half a stick of incense, the smell of smoke in the room became more and more thick, and it was already a bit choking. At this moment, a colorful insect came out of the girl's ear, and it crawled extremely fast. Quickly, squirmed and climbed off the bed, crossed the unsealed circle and burrowed into the soil of the orchid.Xue Gui's heart trembled when he saw the colorful bug, and immediately remembered Pan Jun's explanation, and quickly sealed the opening with dog's blood.After a while, the sound of firecrackers and beating drums gradually stopped, and Pan Jun came in from the outside and said, "Mr. Xue, how are you?" "Well, a colorful bug got into this orchid pot just now!" Xue Gui still tightly held the big celadon bowl in his hand. "Hmm!" Pan Jun smiled and took out a bamboo tube from his bosom, then took the flowerpot with one hand and tapped it gently on the ground, the flowerpot shattered, and a colorful pearl-like insect egg appeared in that soil. "Eh?" Xue Gui said in amazement: "It was clearly a worm just now, how could it become a worm egg now?" "Mr. Xue might as well touch it with your hands!" Pan Jun said, throwing the orchid in his hand aside. Xue Gui stretched out his middle finger and tentatively touched the egg, the colorful egg started to shake instantly, and then turned into a colorful insect, which was crawling quickly on the ground, but the strange thing was that once it touched The bloody multicolored worm would avoid it far away, and it kept probing around the circle. "What's going on here?" Xue Gui felt that what was happening in front of him was really miraculous. Pan Jun smiled without saying a word. He folded a leaf of the orchid from the side and gently touched the colorful insect. After a while, it curled up again. A colored egg.Pan Jun carefully put the insect egg into it with a bamboo tube prepared in advance, and said: "This insect is called Baocai. According to medical records, this insect was originally produced in Tubo, Loulan, Gaochang and other places in the Western Regions. It turns into a worm when it encounters heat, and turns into a colorful egg when it encounters wood, so it became a plaything for nobles at that time. It’s also expensive at the time!” "You said this orchid is called Nether Orchid?" Xue Gui said thoughtfully. "Well, this flower is called Nether Orchid!" Pan Jun has been familiar with the past and present since he was a child, "Although it looks like an orchid, it is actually a kind of Nether Flower. The flower of the netherworld mentioned in the Huajing, so this orchid is called the netherworld orchid!" "So that's it!" Xue Gui said thoughtfully, "I heard from Master Pan that my daughter's illness came from this treasure!" Pan Jun nodded: "At first, those nobles only cared about the beautiful appearance of this treasure, but who knew that this treasure not only feeds on Nether Orchids, but also resides in the human body, causing people to sleep forever and emitting a foul smell from their bodies. But the worm is extremely afraid of noise, it will leave the human body and return to the orchid to turn into eggs when the sound is loud, and this worm is extremely afraid of filth, so I use this dog blood to trap it!" "Master Pan, since the treasure has been taken out, is my daughter safe now?" Xue Gui said worriedly. "Miss's health is alright, she will wake up after a few days of rest, and I will prescribe another prescription for recuperation, and she will be able to get out of bed soon!" Pan Jun said, picked up a pen, wrote a prescription on rice paper and handed it to Xue Gui, Xue Gui took the prescription and looked at it, then turned his head and glanced at a pair of white paper figurines, boys and girls, at the door, and said, "But Master Pan, why did you ask me to buy those things?" Woolen cloth?" "Mr. Xue, don't you want to know the culprit behind this incident?" Pan Jun said with a faint smile. Xue Gui looked at Pan Jun in bewilderment, but at this moment he was full of admiration for the young man in his twenties but with a lot of wealth: "Does Master Pan already know who the culprit is?" Pan Jun nodded and said, "Mr. Xue, I asked you to gather all your family members in the living room before. Are they still there?" "En!" Xue Gui nodded. "Okay, let's go and see now. If anyone is not here, then he should be the culprit!" After speaking, Xue Gui brought Pan Jun and the two of them to the main hall.个人，潘俊坐在一旁的椅子上品着茶，而薛贵则细数着人数，过了片刻他扭过头对潘俊说道：“潘爷，确实少了一个人！” “谁？”潘俊追问道。 只是薛贵眉头皱紧道：“要说是别人我倒还相信，此人应该不会如此啊！” “薛先生，知人知面不知心啊！”对于这句话潘俊理解得最为透彻，那一直在自己身边的子午，还有从小便伴随着自己长大甚至比父亲还要亲的潘璞都背叛了自己。 “哎！”薛贵狠了狠心道，“薛平去哪里了？” “老爷，我正要和您说呢，本来刚刚咱们结花灯的时候二老爷还在跟前看热闹，但他听到又是放鞭炮又是敲锣打鼓的声音之后便急匆匆地离开了！”说话的是一个五十几岁的老头。 薛贵听完老头的话顿了顿，忽然像是想起了什么事情一般地说道：“他走的时候有没有进过我的书房？” “这个……”老头面有难色地说道，“好像确实是进去过！” 薛贵扭过头对潘俊说道：“潘爷，您随我来！”说完薛贵带着潘俊二人穿过走廊，在走廊最靠东边的地方有一间屋子，房门紧闭一把锁歪歪斜斜地挂在门上。薛贵见到那把锁不禁狠狠咬了咬牙，一把将锁从门上拿掉，推开房门。 这间书房不是很大，内中摆设也极为精简，只有一张桌子一把椅子还有一个金丝楠木的书架。书架上放着寥寥几本书而已，想必主人平日中很少于此处读书。薛贵走到那书桌前，在那书桌一角轻轻叩击几下，接着只听“咔嚓”一声，那桌子旁边的一个暗格从中弹出，那安格只有两寸见方，只是此刻内中竟然空空如也。 “糟了！”薛贵重重地拍了一下桌子说道，“东西被盗了！” “薛先生，这内中原本是装的何物？”这薛贵是兰州城中首富之人，一般物事自然是不会放在眼中的，可眼看此刻薛贵如此懊恼，这内中的物事必定是极其重要，于是潘俊不禁问道。 “潘爷实不相瞒，庚年兄之所以让您来找我便是因为这内中之物。”薛贵攥着拳头轻轻地叩击着桌子道，“我现在马上派人去追，想必他还走不了多远！”说完便向门口走去，谁知却被潘俊拦住，薛贵诧异地望着潘俊道：“潘爷，您这是何意？” “你随我一起到门口便知！”说着潘俊与薛贵二人一前一后向门口走去。 这夜空晴朗繁星似点，悬于空中不停地闪烁着，已经入秋天气微凉，一对萤火虫在院墙旁边的爬山虎藤中嬉戏，时而靠近，时而远离，忽上忽下，最后盘旋而上越过院墙飞到院子外面，早有两个长得肉乎乎的小胖蹲守在墙外的巷子里，手中拿着一个网兜，见那两只萤火虫从院中飞出立刻冲了上去，一挥手中的网兜却不小心扑了个空，两只萤火虫受了惊吓向更高的天空飞去。 而在千里之遥的荒山野店中，时淼淼不知何时从梦中醒了过来，她在床上辗转了一个下午，却不知何时自己也沉沉如梦。醒来的时候早已经夜幕降临了，两只萤火虫在窗外嬉戏缭绕，犹如一对缠绵悱恻的情侣。她侧着身子瞥了一眼睡在自己对面的潘媛媛，静谧中能听到她均匀的呼吸，对于一个中毒之人来说，昨晚上一夜奔袭了百余里确实有些为难她了。 时淼淼蹑手蹑脚地从床上下来穿上鞋，从包裹中抽出一把枪别在腰间。然后扭过头又向床上望了望，见潘媛媛始终毫无动静，正欲推门离开，却停住了。她小心翼翼地走到窗前，将窗子轻轻拉上。这才轻轻走到门口将房门反锁上，转身向楼下走去。 此刻楼下的大厅中灯火通明，熙熙攘攘的人穿梭其间，绝大多数人是过往客商，他们常年经商往来于这条小路，自然知道“过了这个村，没了这个店”的道理，因此不管路途远近也尽量赶在天黑之前投宿于此，所以这小店生意一直极为兴隆。 时淼淼顺着那楼梯走到一楼的大厅，今天白天见到的那几个汉子围坐在楼梯口左手边的一张桌子旁，桌子上摆放着几坛子白酒，满地的花生、瓜子皮。此时为首的那个大汉光着膀子，胸口处文着一条下山猛虎。那汉子喝得满脸通红，酒气冲天，却依旧抱着酒坛子不肯放手，一仰脖又是一大口酒。可能是太猛的缘故，这口酒一下子喷了出来。 “哈哈！”他那几个兄弟不禁大笑起来，其中一个小个子说道：“大哥，看来你真是上了岁数了，不行了吧！” “去去去！”那汉子显然摆了摆手说道，“老子在道上混的时候你小子还穿开裆裤呢！” “哈哈，老大又开始吹牛了！”那小个子不屑地说道。 “你小子还别不信，我问你们，为什么这么多人拼命要在晚上赶到这里来住啊？”那汉子抱着酒坛子大吼着说道。 “这谁不知道啊！不就是为了避开那个鬼镇吗？”小个子一条腿踩在椅子上一副慵懒的模样。 “要不怎么说你们还嫩着呢！你们这，这，这，这几个！”那汉子一手掐着筷子挨个儿在兄弟的脑门敲了个遍说道，“谁进去过那鬼镇？” 几个人一面摸着脑门一面互相望了望，最后将目光聚集在那为首的汉子身上说道：“难不成老大你进去过那鬼镇？” “废话！老子当然进去过了！”他这句话声音虽然不大，却引来了周围几桌的客人，纷纷向这边凑过来说道：“你真的进去过那鬼镇？” “那是，骗人是四条腿的！”他颇为得意地伸出手做出一个“王八”的手势说道。 “那鬼镇是不是真的像传说的那么玄乎啊？”更多的人聚集到这张桌子前面，刚刚那问话者是一个二十三四的小伙子，看样子也是赶垛子的。为首的那个汉子瞥了一眼那小伙子说道：“玄乎？岂止玄乎啊，那可是个吃人不吐骨头的地方啊！” “啊！”周围几个人闻言全部惊愕地张大嘴巴，时淼淼走到柜台前面问店小二要了两个菜，坐在一旁的桌子上侧耳倾听。 “怎么个吃人不吐骨头法？”旁边一个好事的人说道。 “三年前的一个雨夜，我们几个兄弟也是喝多了酒，闲来无事便想到那个鬼镇去看个究竟，于是几个胆大的带上家伙事便趁着日落之前来到了那鬼镇外！”为首的汉子说到这里目光在人群中扫了一圈，确定所有人都被自己吸引住了，接着说道，“我们到镇口的时候已经日落了，那天晚上……”汉子指了指身后的窗子说道：“和今天晚上差不多，漫天的星星。我们窝在山腰的草棵中向山下的鬼镇望去，只见那鬼镇漆黑一片，青砖大院连个鬼影子也没有。等了半晌见没有一点儿动静，正待我们想要离开的时候，忽然鬼镇竟然齐刷刷地亮起了灯！” “一起亮起来的？”一个好奇的看客伸长脖子说道。 “嗯，就是那么一眨眼的工夫，镇子里所有的灯都亮起来了！”为首的汉子说到这里感到口有些干，摇了摇抱着的坛子已经空空如也，这时旁边一个汉子递给他一碗酒，他一饮而尽接着说道：“不光是那屋子里的灯，连那门口挂着的大红灯笼也都亮了起来，而且渐渐地能听到似乎有人在里面小声地说着话。” “后来呢？”几个人起哄道。 “我们哥几个当时也是给吓坏了，正欲离去，谁知正在这时，一条火龙出现在我们身后！”那汉子回忆道，“不知道你们听说过没有，之前在这附近的山中有个土匪头子叫小北风，带着百十来号兄弟占山为王！” “记得，记得！”人群中一个四十来岁的老跺头操着一口辽宁口音说道，“据说原来是老北风的部下，三九年老北风病逝之后便来到了这里！” 说起这老北风，辽河一带无人不知，此人原名张海天，辽宁海城人，二十出头当了土匪，逐渐成为辽河一带著名的土匪头子。九一八事变后，东北的土匪头子自然而然分为两类，一种是依附日本人成了走狗，而更多的土匪头子则加入到抗日的队伍之中。张海天带着手下两千多号兄弟打出“抗日自卫军”的旗号，从惯匪变成了抗日游击队。当时，日本驻东北关东军司令名叫本庄繁，东北麻将中有“北风克庄家”的术语，张海天取绰号“老北风”，大有不屑本庄繁之意。 当时辽河一带的小股日军可谓是对他闻“风”丧胆，这小北风便是老北风的得力手下。 “对，就是这个小北风，他据此为匪却只和小日本作对，当天晚上来的那百十来号人的队伍便是这小北风。这数十里的鬼子对他也颇为忌惮，可见他是个什么样的人物啊！当时那支队伍正是去这鬼镇！于是我们便随着那队伍一同进入到了鬼镇中！”为首的汉子越说越来劲儿，又是一大碗酒灌入口中接着说道。 “可谁知道我们进入那镇子之后发现镇子的街道宽敞，足足可以容得两辆马车并行而过，地面上铺砌的全部是青砖，而且被扫得干干净净，小北风他们当时像是在寻找着什么人！”那汉子拧着眉头说道。 正在此时，忽然楼上传来“啪”的一声瓷器碎裂的声音，所有人随着那声音望去，只见那个哑女面色苍白地站在厨房的出口，手中端着的一个沙锅落在地上摔得粉碎。掌柜的放下手中的烟袋面有歉意地说道：“你们继续，你们继续，小孩子毛手毛脚的！”说着掌柜的走到女孩面前轻轻推了推女孩向她使了个眼色，女孩这才蹲下身子伸出白嫩的小手捡起碎裂的瓷盘，眼角闪烁出一丝晶莹的东西，这一切都被坐在一旁的时淼淼尽收眼底。 那为首的汉子接着说道：“小北风让大家分开寻找，于是这百十来人的队伍分成了十个组，深入到那些紧锁的住户之中。谁知我们刚刚进入到那些青砖大院，所有的灯便一下子全都熄灭了，眼前漆黑一片。接着便是震耳欲聋的枪炮声，叫喊声，原本整齐的人群都分散开了，我也感觉身上像是被什么东西猛推了一把接着就昏死了过去！” "Then what happened next?" “后来我就蒙蒙眬眬地感觉好像有人在身边走动，但是身上像是被麻痹了一样毫无力气。等我勉强睁开眼睛的时候发现远近都是尸体，身边的人一个个都变成了血葫芦，有些尸体的肉都没了，只剩下白骨了。隐隐约约还能看见不远处有白色的像是鬼一样的东西在晃着，我强撑着身子沿着山脚的草丛爬到了路上，然后连滚带爬地离开了那个鬼镇！”那为首的汉子说到这里语气中已经少了几分炫耀，更多的却是一种悲怆。 “那小北风呢？” 汉子摇了摇头说道：“那之后小北风就再无音讯了！” “难不成那百十来号人全都死在了鬼镇吗？”另外一个汉子插科打诨般地说道，为首的汉子瞥了一眼那人一句话也没说，从旁边拎起一个酒坛子仰着脖子“咕咚咕咚”地喝了个精光。 “我听来的就和你说的不一样。”那汉子不屑一顾地说道，“据说是那小北风根本是和兄弟的女人有染，被人酒后下毒毒死了！” 那汉子话音刚落，只见一个酒坛子猛然向他砸来，汉子刚刚说得扬扬得意，分明没有注意到这突如其来的一击，那酒坛子不偏不倚正砸在他的脑袋上，只听“啪”的一声，那酒坛子应声而裂，那汉子被砸了一个趔趄，鲜血顺着脑门淌下来。只见那为首的汉子一脚踩着椅子，一只手指着那个人大声喝道：“操你妈，饭可以乱吃，话别给老子乱说！” 刚才那得意扬扬的汉子见眼前这汉子似是真的怒了，伸出手指了指为首的汉子捂着脑袋退到了后面。那为首的汉子哼了一声坐回到凳子上说道：“还有谁不信？有不怕死的老子今晚就带着你们去瞧瞧！”他环顾了一下四周见周围的人都低下头于是微微笑了笑说道：“全他妈是窝囊废！” “我去！”忽然一个女子的声音从隔壁的那张桌子传过来，这些人都扭过头向那声音的方向望去，只见时淼淼将水杯放下说道，“刚刚听这位兄弟说得这般热闹，我倒是想去见识见识那鬼镇真的有你说的这般离奇吗？” 为首的汉子摇摇晃晃地站起身来，拨开周围的人走到时淼淼的桌子前面，把住桌子坐在她面前的凳子上，醉眼惺忪地打量着眼前这个女子，又扭过头对那群汉子说道：“你们这群老爷们还不如一个娘们胆量大！” 这话一出口着实刺激了这群汉子的自尊心，几个汉子纷纷响应，然而更多的人还是唯恐去了真的会送掉性命。为首的汉子站起身说道：“好，那老子今天就舍命陪君子！” 话说这群人连时淼淼在内一共七个人，他们骑着马风尘仆仆地离开客栈，在他们之后不久另外一匹马也从院子内牵出，那个人站在客栈门口向客栈之上打量了一番，他总觉得似乎有人在此处暗中窥伺着自己，停了片刻见没有人，这才骑上马也向鬼镇的方向飞奔而去。 这绝对是一个不平凡的夜晚，世间之事往往就是如此的巧合，很多事情都几乎在同一时刻发生的，就在时淼淼等人骑着快马离开客栈的时候，远在北平城中的松井尚元也坐进了一辆黑色的轿车之中。 这半个月以来，松井尚元老了不少，松井赤木是他唯一的孙子，自从得知松井赤木在安阳遇难之后松井尚元便一下子消沉了下去，胡子一夜之间全白了。如果不是今晚他接到了那个人的来信是绝不会出门的。坐在车里，松井尚元点上一根烟然后对那司机说道：“去炮局监狱！” “哈衣！”那个日本司机开着车缓缓向北平城东的炮局监狱的方向驶去，夜幕之下松井尚元始终盯着窗外静谧的北平城，最近东南亚战场上频频传来战局失利的消息，同为同一战线的德国也已经大势已去，恐怕日本也支撑不了太久了。现在即便是在国内，反战情绪也异常激烈，这场战争还能持续多久，谁也不知道，松井尚元偶尔会冒出放弃的想法，自从松井赤木死去之后他的这种情绪日盛。而唯一让他继续支撑的便是关于驱虫师的秘密，如果真如传说中的一般，也许真的可以改变战局。 轿车停在炮局监狱门口，司机掏出通行证，接着守门的士兵将栅栏移开之后车子缓缓驶入这所监狱，松井尚元穿着一身和服小心地从车子中走下来，几个日本兵早已经迎了上来，但松井尚元一直低着头，对身边的人毫不在意，径直向那座塔楼走去。 日本兵会意地在前面带路，松井尚元沿着台阶一直向下走到那两个用混凝土浇筑而成的建筑前面方才停住脚步，那些日本兵自觉地退到后面，松井尚元这才从怀里掏出一串钥匙，从中拿出最大的那个，插进钥匙孔中，只听一声轻微的咔嚓声，门锁应声而开。松井尚元推开那扇厚重的生满了铜锈的大门。 大门推开内中完全不像是一间牢房，更像是一个小小的地下公寓，一张金丝楠木方桌，桌子后面是一个同样为楠木制成的书架，书架上摆满了各种经史典籍，中文、日文皆有。在那一旁是一张大床，床上坐着一个人。 松井尚元将铁门随手关上站直了深深鞠了一躬说道：“閣下はどう？”（阁下有何吩咐？） “松井君！”一句字正腔圆的汉语传进松井尚元的耳朵，他身体微微一颤，此前十余年松井尚元一直与这人用日语交流，却从不知此人竟然能说出如此流利的汉语。 “诧异吗？”那个人始终背对着自己，却像是能洞悉松井尚元的思想一般。 “是的，我一直以为先生不会说支那语！”松井尚元恭敬地说道。 “呵呵。”那个人冷冷地笑了笑说道，“恐怕让你更惊讶的事情还在后面呢！” 松井尚元并未回答，过了片刻那人说道：“松井君，一切都准备好了吗？” “是的，按照先生的吩咐一切都准备妥当！”松井尚元极为恭敬地说道，“一切都在按照您的计划进行着，他们现在都前往新疆了！” “嗯！”那个人点了点头说道，“如此最好，松井君桌子上有一个信封，接下来你所要做的事情都写在上面！” 松井尚元向前走了两步，果然在那桌子上平放着一个信封，他双手将信封揣在怀里犹豫了一下想说什么，最后还是咽了回去。 “松井君，你现在是不是在猜测我究竟是个什么样的人？”那老者虽然并未回头却更像是将松井尚元这一举一动看得清清楚楚。 “先生，恕我直言，一直以来在我心中就有两个疑问，一来是您对驱虫师各个家族如数家珍，这一点不要说日本人即便是驱虫师家族的人也未必能做到。第二，便是金素梅金先生，她去日本的时间并不长，却破格重用，我一直怀疑在金素梅的背后有一个人在暗中帮她，那个暗中帮她的人应该就是先生您吧？” “松井君，这些事情知道得太多对于你来说弊大于利，该让你知道的时候你自然便知道了！”那老者有些不耐烦地说道，“你走吧，我想休息了！” 松井尚元毕竟是火系驱虫师的君子，脾气火暴异常，不过却始终强忍着心中的怒火，鞠了一躬之后扭过头走了出去，旋即将门重重地锁上，早有一个日本士兵守在了门口。松井尚元并没有立刻离开而是来到了警务室。 那日本军官见松井尚元脸色凝重如水心知不妙，一直唯唯诺诺地低着头站在他前面。过了片刻松井尚元才眯着眼睛说道：“你们可知通敌要受到什么惩处？” “知道！”几个日本军官立直了身子异口同声道。 “那就好！”松井尚元紧紧抓起旁边的茶，豁地将那杯子摔到地上，杯子“啪”的一声裂成无数的碎片，几个日本军官都被吓得身体微微一颤，却并不敢多言，“那个监狱除了我之外还有别的人进去过吗？” “没有！”几个日本军官又是惊人一致地说道。松井尚元扫视了一眼眼前这几个日本军官，见他们似乎并没有说谎，而且那把锁也是特别订制的，极难仿造。可是那个被关在这样一个水泥混凝土监狱中的人是如何如此详细了解外面的事情呢？难道真如中国古代的诸葛孔明一般未出茅庐已定三分天下？松井尚元向来是个自负的人，认为自己做不到的别人也不可能做到。忽然他想起了一件事，三年前的一个夜晚他忽然接到了华北日军总司令的电话，电话的内容是一条蒸发密令。 他清楚地记得那是华北日军总司令用过的最为严厉的措辞，“立刻，必须，绝密”。而最后又加上一句，即便是松井尚元也不准审问那些人。可是与这些严厉措辞极不相符的是，这蒸发密令的对象并非什么大人物，恰恰相反只是几个掏下水道的工人。
