After returning from the crown prince, the situation in Xinjing has changed somewhat.

Regarding Li Xianyuan, there was a little more gossip among the officials in Xinjing. There was air leaking everywhere in the court, and nothing could be covered. Li Xianyuan went to the court yesterday but was snubbed, and in the afternoon of the same day, he blew all over Xinjing with the east wind of the scattered dynasty.

As for the changes and gossip, Li Xianyuan had no intention of caring about it. He is now like an idle old man at home, locking himself in the Zhumen all day long, and he will tease the birds and raise flowers, and find three or four young concubines to live for the rest of his life.

The comfort did not last long, and on the third day after retreating, someone from the palace invited Li Xianyuan to go to the Lantern Festival Lantern Poetry Meeting on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month - whether to go or not.

That's what the little eunuch said.

Li Xianyuan is a six-rank marquis, and he naturally cannot be compared with the Shizi Xiucai who has not yet come out. strong

It's better not to go. Li Xianyuan was already disgusted with copying poems. Never do it for the limelight unless necessary.

Besides, don't mention the fifteenth, it's still nearly a month before the first day of the new year, and it's still a little early to talk about this.

and the steward personally sent the eunuch out of the door, and when Fang Mu saw him leave, he saw people from the house hurrying over.

"What's the matter, Xingse is in such a hurry. Steward Wen asked.

"Butler, sir. The subordinate first saluted, and then said respectfully: "You don't know yet, do you?" The head of the Wangfu was hanged in the garden, and the people of the Xinjing Mansion were inspecting it. When the little one came back, he heard that the deceased had died strangely, and I was afraid that it would be...... I'm afraid it's ......."

The subordinate stumbled for a long time and did not dare to continue.

"I'm afraid what's wrong?" asked Steward Wen.

"I'm afraid that there are demons and evil spirits. ”

"Nonsense!" Steward Wen slammed: "Under the new capital, the emperor's grace is mighty, dignified and upright." What demons dare to do here? I'm afraid that some villains are pretending to be ghosts. ”

"I don't know about this little one. ”

Waving his hand to let his subordinates retreat, Steward Wen explained to Li Xianyuan: "The Wang family is a businessman, and I am afraid that I will offend someone when I am outside all the year round. But just in case, you'd better hire some caretakers. ”

"You can arrange this. Li Xianyuan ignored it. Speaking of which, he has never heard of the big and small matters in the mansion, and he has lived for half a month, and he can't even count how many people there are in the mansion.

Steward Wen also understands Li Xianyuan's temperament, so he won't mention it anymore.

Day 2.

Li Xianyuan was awakened by a loud noise.

After not stopping for a long time, Li Xianyuan sat up, put on his robe and opened the door.

Horses' hooves and noise crept into the bedroom with the chill. Li Xianyuan exhaled turbid breath and looked at the maid in the courtyard.

"What's going on out there?"

A few people, you look at me, I look at you, no one squeaks.

Li Xianyuan clenched his fists to his lips, coughed lightly, and held on to the door frame: "If you have something to say, it's enough." ”

Only then did a maid tremble and say, "Death...... Dead man......"

Li Xianyuan frowned, and his already bloodless cheeks looked even sicker.

Seeing that he seemed to have misunderstood, the maid hurriedly said, "It's not from our house, it's from the outside." ”

Knowing that he couldn't ask clearly, Li Xianyuan returned to the house. After a while, when he came out again, he was already dressed, and his long hair was simply tied into a ponytail and put on the back of his head.

All the way to the reception hall, the housekeeper has been waiting for a long time. After Li Xianyuan took his seat, Steward Wen said in a deep voice: "Hu Yuanwai and his wife were found dead in the rockery in their backyard this morning. ”

Li Xianyuan glanced out the door. The sound of shouting wafted through the front yard.

"It's a little louder. ”

Steward Wen smiled bitterly: "Earlier, the official came, and later changed to the captain of the city gate. At this time, Yin and the forbidden army of Xinjing Mansion were busy outside. ”

Li Xianyuan was puzzled: "Hu Yuanwai is related to the palace?"

"Don't be related to the family. ”

"Which old prince do you have a relationship with?"

"I haven't heard of it. ”

Li Xianyuan Ye didn't bother to guess again, elbowed to the table, and rubbed his forehead lightly: "Even Fu Yin and the forbidden army have moved, there is always a source." ”

Yin Zheng Sanpin, the new Beijing Mansion, and the previous dynasty are the masters of the first three rows. He listened to the majesty of a marquis, and he could only stand next to the door frame in the court.

How can this kind of existence come forward, how can it be a trivial matter.

"Master, do you remember that yesterday someone said that the merchant surnamed Wang at the head of the street hanged himself in the garden?" Steward Wen no longer sold Guanzi, and told him what he knew: "Hu Yuanwaifu and Wang surnamed Shangjia are adjacent to each other, both of them were hanged in the garden, and the death is paradoxical. ”

The increasingly weak body made Li Xianyuan unable to think too much. Simple reasoning is okay. After a moment's thought, he spoke softly: "The government is worried that the thieves will attack the third family, or will the third family do the same?"

"The old man is smart, that's exactly what happened. "Towards the end of the year, such a terrifying thing happened to the people. If it is not handled properly, the governor will inevitably be held accountable. Do you want to inform King Cheng and bring in a group of guards?"

"Didn't you say it yesterday. ”

Steward Wen smiled bitterly: "I said it, but I just mentioned it casually." The clinker thing is so big. ”

"It's good for Uncle Wen to handle this matter. Li Xianyuan felt sleepy, no longer cared about the matter, and stood up while covering his mouth and coughing lightly.

Steward Wen asked with a little worry: "The old slave went to King Cheng's Mansion and asked the imperial doctor to take a look by the way." ”

Li Xianyuan didn't wave his hand back: "The mortal doctor can't cure it." You don't have to work that hard. ”

His figure crossed the threshold and disappeared behind the door.

After that, Li Xianyuan didn't take half a step out of the bedroom for a whole day. The maid who came to deliver the food in the evening, that is, the graceful person, did not move when she saw the noon delivery on the table. Worried, he went to Steward Wen: "The master was fine a few days ago......

"Xu has had a snowfall in recent days and has been infected with a wind chill. ”

The maid bit her thin lip: "Does the slave want to tell the master......

The steward reprimanded: "Don't you think things are messy enough?" You know the princess's temperament. Let her know that Xinjing will not be turned upside down. ”

Steward Wen instructed again and again before letting the unwilling maid leave. Sitting in the bedroom, Steward Wen couldn't help but smile bitterly, Li Xianyuan, who was in charge of the shopkeeper, really didn't care about anything.

……

The night was dark.

A mansion fell into dead silence, although there is no curfew in Xinjing, but most of the lively fireworks are willows. At this time, most families have rested.

The gloom was still there, and the sky was scattered under the snow, which made the night less dark.

On the bed, Li Xianyuan tossed and turned, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, as if something was about to happen.

Squeak –

The door opened a gap, Li Xianyuan stepped sideways, let out a cold breath, and couldn't help coughing a few times.

Tilting his head slightly, he looked at the air where he dared to be uneasy, and saw a layer of black fog filled, and the night was hazy.

Suddenly, a strange voice came out: "I didn't expect there to be a kid with such a good taste here, it's not in vain for us to ......"

Li Xianyuan's expression was indifferent, he was not interested in waiting for it to finish, his fingers were raised, and he waved it into the air.

A rainbow light suddenly shot out from the bedroom. The approaching black fog split into three and pierced straight through.

The latter screamed, and the sound dispersed.

Three rainbow rays of light circled around in mid-air and burrowed back into the room.

Li Xianyuan in front of the door whispered: "Could it be that it is really a demon......
