On this side, Bai Suzhen was telling Bai Fu, "Bai Fu, go out quietly later and find out the identity of the person who was spying on our Baoan Hall as Hei Mian mentioned, and then come back and tell me."

Bai Fu responded, "Yes, Miss Bai."

Bai Suzhen looked at Lan Hun again: "Lan Hun—"

Lan Hun quickly stepped forward and asked, "Miss Bai, what do you want me to do?"

Bai Suzhen said, "Write a notice and post it outside the gate of our Baoan Hall. Tell them that we have something important to do in Baoan Hall and we will be closed for the day."

Lan Hun nodded and said, "Okay, this is easy, I can handle it."

After instructing Bai Fu and Lan Hun, Bai Suzhen hesitated for a moment, and then said to Huang Po beside her: "Huang Po, after the old woman has rested, bring her to my room alone. I want to see why she became blind."

Huang Po's eyes sparkled with light, and he was happy for the old woman: "Miss Bai, are you going to treat the old woman's eyes?"

Bai Suzhen nodded and said, "I intend to cure the old woman's eyes, but now is not the best time. After we find out the mastermind behind the murder, it will not be too late to let the old woman see the light again. But before that, I need to know why the old woman became blind, so that I can have a clear idea and it will be easier to cure her in the future."

Huang Po asked, "Miss Bai, then our next step is to find the murderer who poisoned the old woman and her grandson, and then arrest him in one fell swoop and hand him over to the government?"

Bai Suzhen smiled slightly, her eyes deep, as if she could see through everything. She glanced at Bai Fusan and shook her head gently, saying, "Don't bother. If everything goes as expected, the other party will show up automatically at sunset at the latest."

The three Baifu envoys were stunned at the same time, and asked in unison: "Really?"

Bai Suzhen nodded, with no joking expression on her face: "Seriously."

The three envoys Bai Fu looked at each other, asked no more questions, and withdrew to do as Bai Suzhen ordered.

"Mr. Xu, what are you doing?"

After Bai Suzhen finished examining the old woman's eyes, it was almost noon. Because she needed to get some medicine as a guide, she went to the front hall, but saw Xu Xian buried in a pile of medical books, looking for something.

Because of the break, Xu Xian read almost all the medical books in Bao'an Hall in the morning, but still could not find a way to detoxify the helianthus annuus.

"Miss Bai." Xu Xian looked up from the medical book and saw Bai Suzhen. His eyes lit up and he hurriedly stood up to greet Bai Suzhen, saying impatiently, "Miss Bai, as far as I know, Crane's Beak Red is the worst of all poisons. There is no medicine to cure it. I just searched the medical books but couldn't find a way to cure it. Can you tell me how you saved the old woman and her grandson?"

Bai Suzhen said, "Mr. Xu, don't worry about how I saved the old woman and her grandson. I will tell you the details after I find out who is behind the murder and frame-up."

Xu Xian was stunned and said, "Miss Bai, are you saying that someone deliberately poisoned the old woman and her grandson in order to frame us, Bao'an Hall?"

Bai Suzhen looked calm and nodded: "If I'm not mistaken, someone will go to the prefectural government soon and report us for misdiagnosis and killing someone."

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Qian suddenly rushed in, panting and reporting: "Miss Bai, Miss Bai, it's bad, there are a lot of officials outside. They said they want to search our Baoan Hall."

"Official?" Xu Xian looked at Bai Suzhen nervously.

It was earlier than expected. Bai Suzhen's expression remained unchanged, and she said calmly, "Xiao Qian, quickly ask Bai Fu to send the old lady and her grandson back to where they originally lived. Be careful on the way and don't let anyone see you. And—"

Bai Suzhen instructed: "- Let Bai Fu arrange for someone to secretly protect the safety of the two of them."

"I understand, Miss Bai." Xiao Qian turned around and rushed out.

"Miss Bai, what should we do now?" Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xu Xian looked outside the house and saw four or five yamen runners in official uniforms already outside the door.

Bai Suzhen's expression remained unchanged. She slightly opened her red lips and whispered, "Just be careful."

Xu Xian nodded, calmed himself down, straightened his clothes and greeted the yamen runners who came in.

"Gentlemen, you are here so early in the morning. I wonder if anyone has an emergency and needs treatment?" Xu Xian secretly told himself to just treat these yamen runners as patients. It actually worked, and he suddenly felt less nervous.

"Are you the shopkeeper of this Bao'an Hall?" The leading yamen runner had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, and was physique strong, looking quite capable.

Xu Xian replied: "I am only the doctor of Bao An Tang. The owner of Bao An Tang is this Miss Bai."

"Miss Bai?" The leading bailiff looked at Bai Suzhen. Bai Suzhen smiled slightly and nodded, saying, "I am in charge of this Bao'an Hall. Just tell me if you have anything to say, sir." The celestial voice and the face like a banished immortal made the leading bailiff suddenly hold his breath and feel dizzy. He stared at Bai Suzhen blankly, thinking that he saw the Queen Mother of the West who had descended to the earth. For a moment, he completely forgot about everything else.

Several other yamen runners were also shocked by Bai Suzhen's extraordinary and dreamy appearance. They all stared at Bai Suzhen infatuatedly, unable to take their eyes off her for a long time.

Xu Xian saw that all the yamen runners were staring at Bai Suzhen intently, and they all looked distracted. He suddenly felt unhappy and disgusted. He frowned, suddenly moved in front of the leading yamen runner, raised his voice and reminded: "I think the officials must have official business to attend to. I wonder if our Baoan Hall can help you with anything?"

"Uh..." The leading yamen runner suddenly came back to his senses and remembered the purpose of his visit. He looked away awkwardly, coughed a few times, and said, "This is what happened. Just now, the head of the Three Emperors Ancestors Association, Doctor Zheng Taisheng, came to the yamen to report to the prefect, saying that Bao'an Hall lost a life due to misdiagnosis, so Lord Chen sent us here to check it out. - Miss Bai, please allow us to search around." When he said the last sentence, his eyes involuntarily looked at Bai Suzhen again, with a tone of respect and trepidation, as if he was afraid that his behavior would make this fairy-like figure unhappy.

"I wonder if the Doctor Zheng that the official is referring to is one of these two?" Bai Suzhen looked past the crowd and looked at the other two who came with the yamen runners. The two were dressed in casual clothes. The one on the left was slightly fat and had a kind face, while the one on the right was thin and frail, with a flickering look, and a shrewd yet gloomy look. Bai Suzhen only glanced at the one on the left, and finally settled on the one on the right. She looked at him deeply, with a thoughtful look in her beautiful eyes.

The author has something to say: Hehe, I have to attend a meeting and study for three days, so I can use these three days to write more. If nothing goes wrong, I will update another chapter tomorrow.
