Outside the back hall of the county office, for Chen Yan's arrival, whether Jiang Yusen wanted it or not, he could not refuse Chen Yan's request, because he could not compete with the entire army.

Behind him, the pine branches and clear snow were as lonely and unruly as a window painting, and Jiang Yusen, who was dressed in green clothes, said with some hesitation,

"If you want to borrow the glow of the silver moon, the lower officials can't refuse, but this thing is not in the county office. ”

"Where?" Chen asked.

"In ...... In the town, Luo Zhengfu's house. Jiang Yusen said, glancing at Chen Yan's puzzled gaze, before continuing,

"My lord doesn't know that this silver moon glow is originally a holy relic in this Mochizuki town, and although the lower official is a county official here, he has no responsibility to accept it. The Luo family where Luo Zhengfu is located has lived here for generations, and they are also very prestigious in the local area, so ......"

Jiang Yusen's words did not continue, but Chen Yan had already understood that the things in Mochizuki Town belonged to Mochizuki Town, and even the county officials were helpless.

How did Chen Yan not know that he wanted to shirk the responsibility, and he was a good person on both sides, he had already seen it clearly in his heart, but he didn't pierce his mind, he just said,

"Master Jiang, as a local county official, if you go, it will naturally be much more effective than your own official. ”

"This ...... The military officials are really anxious, but this Luo Zhengfu is a local tyrant, and he is afraid that he will not listen to the words of the subordinates. ”

Jiang Yusen was embarrassed.

"Master Jiang, do you want to go?" Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, his eyes slightly cold.

"How...... How could it be...... To be able to serve adults is yes, it is the honor of the lower officials, the lower officials. ”

Master Jiang responded, and the suffocating feeling just now gradually disappeared, but the person in front of him was silent but on time, it seemed that he couldn't avoid it, but even if he went, he couldn't become a slingshot for Chen Yan to fight birds.

"In this case, time does not wait for others, so let Lord Lao Jiang lead the way. ”

As he spoke, Chen Yan made a "please" gesture, Jiang Yusen couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, and hurriedly walked in front, while raising his sleeve to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

All the way out of the gate of the county government, there were already two fast horses waiting outside the door, Jiang Yusen climbed on the back of the horse with great difficulty, and Chen Yan on the other side turned over and got on the horse, the movements were smooth and chic, even Jiang Yusen couldn't help but be amazed, but now he didn't have the mood to appreciate this beautiful action.

Two people and two horses walked in the direction of the right side of the county government, Jiang Yusen was not good at delaying in front, and Chen Yan was pressing step by step in the back, always urging the people in front.

While walking, Jiang Yusen was thinking about countermeasures, he was thinking about how to end his tenure in Mochizuki Town safely, although it was located in a remote area, but it was better than stability, there were not so many things of right and wrong, although it was not full of flowers, but it was more than enough than the top.

He is already in his forties, and he just wants to be safe and stable, and nothing goes wrong, but he didn't expect this day to come.

Since the day the people of Fengbo Pavilion stepped into this town, Mochizuki Town has not been quiet, the first day of murder, the second day Mr. Zhan was "poisoned", and the third day was to ask for holy relics, Chen Yan's domineering made him feel tired to deal with, and the weakness of that girl was also not to be underestimated, after all, how could such a person who could endure until the last moment be a simple person.

What should be done so that Luo Zhengfu will not hate himself and borrow the holy relics?

After thinking about it for a long time, the cold wind in his ears was steep, and after a while, the two of them had already arrived outside the door of Luofu.

It's just that Chen Yan doesn't seem to be as extravagant as he imagined, but a very simple small door.

"This is?" asked Chen Yan, pointing to the humble doorway.

"Yes. Jiang Yusen replied, sitting on the horse and tangled.

"Let's go inside. ”

"No. ”

Jiang Yusen had just dismounted and was about to lead the way, when the man had already knocked on the door of the Luo family, and it was a white-haired old man who opened the door.

"This son, who are you looking for?"

The rickety figure, silver-white hair, this old form made Chen Yan a little puzzled, no matter how he looked at it, he didn't look like a local tyrant. And the dress is too ordinary.

Glancing back at Jiang Yusen, who had caught up, the latter hurriedly explained,

"This is Luo Zhengfu's father, Luo Yong. Mr. Luo, this is Lord Chen of the imperial court, and he is here to borrow the holy relics. ”

After Jiang Yusen's words were finished, Chen Yan deliberately paid attention to Luo Yong's expression, and obviously trembled a little when he heard the word holy relic.

"Your Excellency, please come in. ”

There was no expected obstruction, and he was easily invited into the courtyard, Chen Yan raised his eyebrows, and felt a little unusual.

Walking into the courtyard, a courtyard that looks very similar, with mud walls on all sides, and the sky overhead is cloudy and a little depressing.

The courtyard was open air, so the old man invited the two of them into the house, and as soon as they entered the door, they did feel much warmer than outside. However, there was no one in the room except for the busy old man.

It can only be said that in the clean and clear room, Chen Yan sat on a chair and glanced at the pine branches pressed in the stove, and the old man on the other side handed over two bowls of hot water and put them on the wooden table.

"Two adults, please, it's cold outside, drink a bowl of hot water to warm up, and your heart won't be cold." ”

"Thank you. Chen Yan said, "Can the old man borrow the holy relics for Chen's use, and he will return them afterwards." ”

Hearing his words, Chen Yan saw that the old man had already sat down, and sighed in a heavy tone

"Alas, that thing is asking for a person's life, what does this lord want him to do?"

"Asking for life?" Chen Yan was puzzled, and Imperial Physician Xu clearly said that it was a detoxification thing, how could it become a life-seeking thing here.

"Yes, ask for people's lives, that piece of jade can cure the poison of insects, but it has to be exchanged for the life of the person who performs the spell, isn't it something that asks for people's lives. ”

The old man's helpless and even somewhat sad tone gradually made Chen Yan interested, and listened to him continue, not noticing the somewhat dull gaze of Jiang Yusen beside him.

"Yes, this thing was originally because the ancestors of our Luo family were poisoned by the worm, and then a Taoist priest who passed through this place handed over the jade to the ancestor's wife, and at night, the bright moon rose in the sky, and the ancestor's wife recited the mantra given to him by the Taoist priest, and suddenly the jade on the ancestor's chest flashed with a beautiful silver light, almost illuminating the entire town.

Do you know why the silver light is so brilliant? It was the wife of the ancestor who traded her life for it. When the silver light disappeared and the poison of the ancestors was dissolved, his wife's black and bright hair turned gray.

That's the color of life, how can it not be beautiful?"

In Chen Yan's field of vision, the old man's eyes were moist, as if he had personally experienced such an incredible thing.

Chen Yan watched silently, not disturbing his inner peace at this moment, maybe the old man was not telling more than the story of his ancestors.
