Li Qiu had eaten and rushed back to the Sky Survey Division with Mu Fei.

A few days later, the Celestial Survey Division.

The study room, the place where Zhou Kaicheng works.

Li Qiu walked in, Zhou Kaicheng got up to greet him, and the servants brought tea and snacks.

"Lord Li, it's really a last resort to call you back this time, there is a Yin ghost whose strength is suspected to be comparable to the Martial Saint in Zhouzhou, and you need to kill it!"

Although Guo Shaoyuan is the director of the Sky Survey Division and Zhou Kaicheng is the deputy director, in fact, Zhou Kaicheng has always been in charge of the big and small affairs of the Sky Survey Division, and Guo Shaoyuan is almost just a name, and he doesn't care about anything except killing the ghosts.

In the past, there were ghosts in the world, a few were Zhou Kaicheng to kill, and most of them were the director Guo Shaoyuan who went to kill them personally, but now there are more Li Qiu, so naturally he should go.

Li Qiu nodded.

"Mu Fei has already told me, I don't know if Lord Zhou asked me to go back to the company, but what do you have to tell me?"

Zhou Kaicheng's expression became slightly serious.

"Actually, it's nothing, what you need to pay attention to when killing yin ghosts, I think Master Li knows everything. ”

"It's just that this time it's a little different. ”

"This time, this yin ghost appeared in Huizhou to make a rebellion and killed the younger brother of the current emperor, King Huai, this matter involves the death of the royal family, and Lord Li needs to pay more attention. ”

"What's going on? Did that Yin ghost break into the Huai Wang's Mansion?"

Li Qiu raised his eyebrows.

He couldn't understand why that yin ghost would kill King Huai.

The palace is heavily guarded and heavily guarded, and killing a civilian and killing a prince who is under heavy protection will not get any different Yin Qi, which is obviously a thankless task.

Unless that yin ghost has a grudge against King Huai himself, he won't make such a big move.

Hearing Li Qiu's question, Zhou Kaicheng's face was a little strange.

"That yin ghost did not break into the palace, it was killed by chance when it met King Huai. ”

"A chance encounter?"

"Yin ghosts generally kill people at night, that night the king of Huai with his guards and servants, often dressed up in the most famous painting boat in Huizhou City, drinking and having fun, as a result, he met the yin ghost along the river to kill. ”

"Although King Huai was guarded with the strength of the blood condensation period, he was not the enemy of the Yin Ghost who was seriously injured and fell into the river, and King Huai was killed on the spot. ”

Li Qiu's expression was stunned when he heard this, this Huai Wang said that he was drinking and having fun, but in fact, he was afraid that he went to the boat to look for flowers and ask willows, but he was unlucky enough to bump into a ghost.

The noble prince is not pampered by the princesses and concubines in the palace, and he goes to the flower boat to look for flowers and willows like ordinary people, which sounds a little incredible.

But in fact, it is not an uncommon thing, there is more than one generation of emperors in Daqian and even in the previous dynasties, and the prince is nothing like this.

Li Qiu's brows furrowed slightly.

There is a prince, and it is the emperor's own brother who died at the hands of that yin ghost, and the situation is indeed a bit special.

Seeing Li Qiu's expression, Zhou Kaicheng opened his mouth and instructed again.

"Please take this matter seriously, and strive to find and kill that yin ghost, so that we can give the emperor an explanation. ”

In the past, even if the Yin Ghost appeared to cause chaos, they could not all kill it, and one of the three times successfully tracked it down and killed it, which was already very good.

After all, after the Yin Ghost kills people, they will not stay and wait for them to kill, and will generally flee.

And the Yin Ghost who can absorb Yin Qi alive and has the strength to rival the Martial Saint, which one is not extremely cunning, once he escapes, it will be difficult to catch him.

Listening to Zhou Kaicheng's words, Li Qiu nodded.

Zhou Kaicheng's voice changed, and he waved his hand again.

"Of course, Lord Li can do his best in this matter, even if he fails to kill that Yin Ghost, the emperor will not punish anything for this. ”

"The royal blood and family relationship is not like ordinary people's families, what died was just an idle prince with no real power, the emperor asked us to kill that yin ghost, not because one of his dozen brothers died, but because someone in the royal family died, and the dignity of the royal family was damaged. ”

"And we, the martial saints, are the foundation of the imperial court to shock the world, and in the emperor's heart, our status is far higher than that of those idle princes, even a little royal dignity can make concessions. ”

"Hmm. Li Qiu responded.

"Just in case that ghost escapes too far, I'll set off. ”

Even if Zhou Kaicheng didn't say this to him, he would kill that yin ghost as much as possible.

Whether the prince dies or not, whether it is the prince who holds a lot of power or not, it has nothing to do with his attitude towards this matter, he only has the source power in his heart.

"Master Li, wait a minute. ”

Zhou Kaicheng beckoned.

"This time to kill the Yin Ghost, Si Li sent two experienced second-grade Sky Surveyors to assist you, and they all obeyed your command along the way, let them do whatever they wanted. ”

"One of them is Mu Fei, you have already met, and the other is called Wang Yuan. ”

"Come in!"

With Zhou Kaicheng shouted.

Two figures walked into the study, one of which was Mu Fei who was returning to the Heaven Survey Division with him.

Another middle-aged appearance, with two beards, a little thinner than Mu Fei, and a flash of inspiration in his eyes, giving people a sense of shrewdness, should be Wang Yuan.

The two bowed their hands to Li Qiu.

"Mu Fei, Wang Yuan, I've seen adults!"

Li Qiu's eyes moved slightly and nodded.

He had expected this.

If you want to kill that yin ghost, there is one step that cannot be avoided, that is, to track down and find that yin ghost.

He is not good at this kind of thing, and the Sky Survey Division will inevitably send special people to assist him.

The so-called "two people are experienced" in Zhou Kaicheng's words refers to the fact that the two of them have a lot of experience in tracking yin ghosts.

"Let them do whatever they want", which means that Li Qiu will hand over the matter of tracking down and finding the Yin Ghost to the two of them, and he will be responsible for killing the Yin Ghost at that time.

Li Qiu did not resist this.

Although he is a martial saint, but the martial saint is only strong, it does not mean that he can do anything, these things still need professional and experienced people.

If he is reckless and insists on going his own way, he will only delay things.

The three of them rode out of Fuzhou City and went straight to Huizhou City.

Although Li Qiu had no experience in tracking down Yin Ghosts, he relied on Mu Fei and Wang Yuan.

But he also knew that the guard who protected King Huai had survived under that Yin ghost, and he had seen that Yin ghost with his own eyes, and he might be able to get some information about that Yin ghost from his mouth.

For now, you should rush to the Huaiwang Mansion in Huizhou City first and ask about the guard.

The three of them rode at a gallop, and arrived at the city of Huizhou in the afternoon of the next day.

Huizhou City is a prosperous and lively city, which is not inferior to Fuzhou City.

In the central street of Huizhou City, the magnificent Huaiwang Mansion is a piece of silk at this time, and white silk is hung everywhere.

In front of the door, there were horse-drawn carriages, all of which were officials and wealthy businessmen who had come to mourn King Huai.

The people who come to mourn do not necessarily have to be familiar with the deceased, but more want to take this opportunity to make friends or get acquainted with some of the people who participated in the condolences, which is why so many people come to mourn King Huai.

Of course, not everyone can enter the palace to mourn.

At the door, the palace housekeeper was dressed in sackcloth and wore a white cloth on his head, sitting behind a white case, leading people to watch, in case some people who did not meet their identity mixed into the palace.

Li Qiu took Mu Fei and Wang Yuan and walked towards the palace.

"Stop, someone will report your identity!"

Steward Zhao of the palace, with gray hair, wrinkled face, a serious expression, and an extraordinary momentum on his body, sat behind the white case and said coldly.

The so-called three-rank official in front of the prime minister, although King Huai is an idle prince with no real power, but after all, he is a prince.

Steward Zhao, as the housekeeper of the palace, has been sent to the palace for many years, and he has come into contact with great people, and he has also developed an extraordinary momentum.

Mu Fei and Wang Yuan, who were standing behind Li Qiu, glanced at each other, stepped forward, took out the token representing their second-grade Sky Surveyor status, and said in a deep voice.

"We are the second-grade silver medal surveyor of the Heaven Surveyor Division, and we assisted Lord Li to come to investigate the death of King Huai, and this is the first-grade gold medal surveyor, Lord Li Qiu Li!"

Steward Zhao, who had gray hair and a wrinkled face, couldn't sit still when he heard the identities of Mu Fei and Wang Yuan, and when he heard Li Qiu's identity, he was so frightened that he jumped up directly from the chair, sweating coldly, looking flustered, and hurriedly led someone to salute Li Qiu.

"Little one, meet Master Li and the two adults!"

As the steward of the palace, how could he not know what the second-grade Heavenly Surveyor and the first-grade Heavenly Surveyor represented.

Not to mention Li Qiu, in normal times, Mu Fei and Wang Yuan came, and if King Huai was still alive, he would also salute three points and let people welcome him into the guest hall.

If it is changed to Li Qiu, King Huai may have to go out of the house to greet him in person, calling himself Xiao Wang, with a respectful attitude.

How dare he, a small palace steward, sit and talk to a martial saint!

Li Qiu waved his hand, and Wang Yuan stepped forward to take out a few things that he had just bought in Huizhou City.

"This is the sacrifice that Lord Li and we have come to mourn King Huai. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare. Steward Zhao hurriedly waved his hand, then turned around and scolded a few servants behind him.

"Hurry up and put away the sacrifice of Lord Li and the two adults!"

Turning around, Steward Zhao put on a smiling face again.

"Lord Li and the two adults, please go this way, the princess and the little prince are in the mourning hall, accompanying the prince's coffin. ”

Li Qiu nodded, and Mu Fei and the two of them, led by Steward Zhao, walked towards the palace.

Before Steward Zhao left, he glanced at a few servants.

Several servants immediately understood, and sounded a funeral drum set up at the door.

The funeral drum will only be sounded when people of distinguished status come to mourn, so as to tell the princess and the little prince of the mourning hall to prepare for reception.

Li Qiu and the three of them entered the palace and passed through the spiritual sheds.

The people who came to mourn rested under the spiritual sheds, and when they heard the sound of drums, they looked at Li Qiu and the three of them curiously and carefully.

"The funeral drum sounded, and Steward Zhao personally led the way, what kind of big shots are these?"

One of them looked at Li Qiu, who was the leader.

Someone exclaimed.

"With such a noble status and such a young face, is it from the royal family?"

"Look at the two people following behind him, with a fierce temperament and a martial artist's aura, they should be this person's guards. Someone speculated.

There are also people who look puzzled, their eyes flicker, and they never speak, obviously without a clue in their hearts.

There are only a few people who are also not low, and when they saw Li Qiu's appearance, their eyes flashed with a look of enlightenment, and their expressions were shocked, and they guessed Li Qiu's identity.

In the past, the two divisions of the imperial court, the Heaven Survey Division and the Heaven Hunting Division, combined together, had a total of six martial saints.

But some time ago, the Sky Survey Division suddenly had an additional Martial Saint, and I heard that he was extremely young.

Several people have deliberately collected information about Li Qiu through their own news channels, including Li Qiu's portrait.

"It's actually a martial saint!"

"This one came here, probably to kill the ghost who killed King Huai. ”

After the shock, several people's eyes flashed, and they were thinking about how to get in touch with Li Qiu.

After passing through the mourning sheds, Li Qiu and the three of them came to the mourning hall where the coffin of King Huai was placed.

A coffin made of golden silk nanmu with a table in front of the coffin, on which are placed offerings, incense burners, wax tables and an everlasting lamp.

A beautiful woman with charm and graceful temperament, pear blossoms with rain, dressed in mourning clothes, kneeling beside the spirit case.
