Chapter 247 I Don’t Want to Cause Trouble
Although the field mouse looked like he deserved a beating, what he said was very reasonable.
If the person who came to silence the witness was really from Liang, he would certainly hide his whereabouts and act secretly, and it is even more impossible for him to pretend to be a member of the border army and parade around the city to cause trouble for himself.
Moreover, the military has always had strict control over military horses, and all entries and exits are recorded in a book. Stealing military horses is as difficult as climbing to the sky.
No matter how dumb a person is, he would not go to such great lengths to silence a killer.
Therefore, the person who took action that night could only be someone from the border army, and he had to be in a high position to meet all the conditions.
Three years ago, the border town was still under the command of Mo Jinchuan.
Song Yanxi lowered her head and looked at the field mouse who was holding her legs with a wronged look on his face, and reminded her, "You still have time to run now."
The field mouse widened his eyes and said in disbelief, "Miss Song, you can't just ignore me, right?"
He hugged Song Yanxi's legs tightly and said excitedly: "Miss, please save me, I can still be of great use!"
An Yi reached out and grabbed the back of his collar and asked, "Do you want to let go yourself, or should I help you?"
The field mouse shuddered and said, "Can I not choose?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he decisively let go of his hand, with a look of being ready to die.
He still knew which to choose: letting go on his own initiative or having his hand broken and then being forced to let go.

A quarter of an hour later, An Yi came back.
Just as he said when he took the person away just now, "know your limits", he managed the timing just right.
It lets you vent your anger without losing control of your anger and accidentally hitting someone.
Song Yanxi was preparing medicine. She looked up at him and asked, "Is he gagged or has he been mute?"
She had always had good hearing, and she didn't hear any sound of pain.
An Yi said sullenly, "He's quite a man."
He originally intended to shut him up, but the field mouse either complained about his smelly socks or his rotten clothes, and he got angry just by listening to them.
At any other time, if we only talk about the numerous crimes he committed when he was a killer, it would not be too much to torture him to death eight hundred times. But he was spared for now, but he still picked it up!
If I don't need him later, I will send him to the west tonight.
Song Yanxi said pertinently: "Let's put it one way and the other. The murders he committed previously will be handed over to local officials for trial later, and every one of them will be settled with him.
But it is also true that he saved Li Cheng's life out of a sense of conscience, and that he has done good deeds by protecting these beggars for three years."
An Yi hesitated for a moment and asked, "Miss, do you think I shouldn't have hit him just now?"
Song Yanxi shook her head and asked, "What did I just say?"
"One thing at a time..."
After repeating these words, An Yi's eyes lit up instantly. He clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Miss, please wait for me for another half a minute. I'll be back soon."
Song Yanxi hurriedly stopped him and said, "That's enough. If you continue, he'll be killed. We still need him to find the real culprit of the Bai family's massacre."
She frowned and continued in a low voice, "The Liang spy who committed the crime that day has already escaped and may be difficult to find.
But we must find the people in Da'an who are helping them clean up their messes."
The border town is now facing internal and external troubles. It is a critical moment and there is no room for any changes.
Even if that person has not made any move in the past three years, since he can do one thing for the people of Liang, he can do a second and third thing for them, so we have to be on guard.
"Does the girl have any guesses?"
"Not yet."
Thinking about Tian Shu's words, Song Yanxi lowered her voice and said, "An Commander, I need your help with something."
An Yi said respectfully, "Just give your orders, young lady."
"Find a few reliable people and secretly investigate who entered and left the military camp a few days before the field mouse incident three years ago. Find out when they left the camp and what they were doing. Be sure to get the details."
Knowing that most of those people were old acquaintances of An Yi, and perhaps even close friends, Song Yanxi said tactfully, "This matter can be carried out in secret. There's no need to rush it, lest the news spread and chill the hearts of the soldiers below."
An Yi's face darkened, and he said respectfully, "Don't worry, young lady. I know what to do."
Those who collude with the enemy country will be punished by death.
If he finds out who this person is, he will definitely use his head as a sacrifice!

"Girl, look what good things I brought you." From a distance, Song Yanxi heard the voice of Doctor Liu across the tent.
This loud and resonant voice is full of energy and spirit, which makes people feel at ease.
Song Yanxi put down the pestle in her hand and was about to stand up to greet him when Doctor Liu had already lifted the curtain and strode in.
Behind him followed six soldiers of different heights, weights and sizes.
Although everyone was wearing a mask and armor, one could roughly judge from their hair and body shapes that their ages ranged from teenagers to middle-aged people in their forties.
Song Yanxi thought of something and frowned as she asked, "Is Mr. Liu going to take the lead in breaking the rules?"
It was clear that she had asked General Xu to issue a military order a few days ago, prohibiting doctors from testing drugs on innocent people.
The word "innocent" refers not only to the civilians in the city, but also to the soldiers.
We are all born of our parents, we are all flesh and blood, who is different from who else?
Knowing Song Yanxi's usual attitude towards this matter, Doctor Liu coughed lightly, his eyes widened and he said unhappily, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and sit over there so the princess can check your pulse."
He raised his leg and kicked the nearest soldier, saying disdainfully, "You're not proactive in seeing the doctor. You have a problem with your brain. If you keep dawdling, I'll send someone else over."
When they heard that someone was going to be replaced, the five people who were originally standing in a row immediately started moving.
The soldier who had been kicked by Doctor Liu rushed to the front. Before he even sat down, he quickly extended his hand and said, "Princess, I started having diarrhea yesterday afternoon. I had a high fever last night and it only subsided this morning. I took a dose of medicine before breakfast."
He was panting slightly as he spoke, and his forehead outside the mask was abnormally pink, clearly still feverish.
Song Yanxi quickly reached out to feel his pulse, her expression darkening as she said, "You should have had symptoms two days ago, why didn't you tell me earlier?"
The soldier was obviously frightened by her. His body was stiff and he stammered, unable to speak.
The older soldier behind him hurriedly explained, "Princess, calm down. This kid is stubborn. His father and mother are both sick and living in Huichun Hall. He just wants to hold on for a few more days."
Doctor Liu habitually touched his beard, but found nothing.
He couldn't help but sigh: "He is a filial child, but a little stupid."
Unexpectedly, there was such a reason. Song Yanxi sighed softly and asked in a slower tone, "Besides what you just said, are you feeling any other discomfort? Even if it's only a slight feeling, tell me the truth and don't hide anything."
Epidemic is no different from other diseases. After all, what can be detected from the pulse is limited, and more importantly, the cooperation of the sick person is required.
The soldier was confused for a moment, and then quickly told him all the other symptoms of his body.
While Song Yanxi was writing the prescription, Doctor Liu took the opportunity to knock him on the head and said angrily, "You are so dishonest, kid. Do you think I am old and easy to fool?"
The soldier covered his head and whispered, "I don't want to cause trouble for the princess."
Song Yanxi paused her hand holding the pen, raised her eyes and looked at him, and was surprised to find that the people standing behind him seemed a little uneasy, and each of them looked even more nervous than him.
She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so scared? Will I eat people?"
