I walked over, squatted down in front of him, and squinted slightly: "I have always had a question that I don't understand, you have drowned Zhang Sheng outside the city, why do you have to take such a big risk to consign him into the city?" ”

Wang Lin's gloomy and hoarse voice sounded again: "You are in the same group as that dog official, and you must not die well!" ”

"Who was the person who brought the body to the restaurant for you to dump the body that day? Did he bring the body into the city for you......"

Before the words fell, I saw that Wang Lin was bleeding from the corner of his mouth, and he chose to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

At this moment, a smile appeared on his face, without a hint of pain: "Wan... Ceremony...... I'm down... I'm with you. A muffled voice came out of his mouth.

I shook my head and sighed softly, and ordered the officials to bury his body with the geisha Wanyi.

The old bustard of the Qinglou harbored criminals and was taken to prison by the officials, while the shopkeepers and men of the restaurant and the antique shop were also cleared of suspicion and were released on the same day.

As for the boxes of falling swallow sand powder in the secret room of the Qinglou, they were also completely burned on the spot.

At this point, this panicked case of throwing corpses was finally closed, and it took less than two days, and now it is a well-known figure in the whole city, but I ...... But he was not happy at all.

I don't think it's Wang Lin's fault, if it were me, I might be murderous when I see the people I care about being bullied and humiliated.

That street slick Zhang Sheng, just like the Wang family who bullied the old and young in the small noodle restaurant before, bullied others, and there was no humanity at all in the fish and meat township, and he deserved it when he died, and he did not deserve sympathy.

Speaking of small noodle restaurants, I don't know how Xiao Youming and the old man are doing in Youzhou, whether the people in Jinyang Wangfu bullied them, I really want to find a chance to visit them.

It's a pity that I don't have this opportunity yet, after all, I still sneaked out of Jingzhou this trip, and I don't know how to explain to Li Hanyan, that freak, after I go back.

…………

At noon, after having lunch here in Taifu, I got up and planned to leave, and when I walked to the gate of Taifu, there was a call behind me.

I saw the master running over panting, waving his hand and calling: "Miss Xue...... Miss Xue, please stay! ”

"Master, why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"Miss Xue, are you going to leave?"

I nodded: "The case has been solved, it's time for me to go, what's wrong?" ”

The master wiped the sweat from his head and said, "Lord Taifu Ling has woken up, let you go over." ”

When he came to Taifu Ling's room, he was sitting at the head of the bed at this time, his face had improved a lot, but he still looked very weak, and the maid on the side was feeding him medicine.

"Miss Xue is here? You may be seated. Seeing my arrival, Taifu Ling hurriedly raised his hand to ask the maid to bring a chair, and then opened his mouth and said, "Miss Xue, your ability to handle cases is obvious to everyone, and this mansion is also full of admiration in my heart. Don't you like to investigate cases? This government wants you to continue to stay in Taifu to investigate the case, and give you fifty taels a month, is it okay? ”

"My lord, didn't I say that before? When this case is closed, it's time for me to leave, I still have a job on my shoulders, and I can't stay here for long, I'm sorry. ”

"Okay, here's fifty taels, it's your reward for solving the case, girl, please accept it." Taifu Ling waved his hand and sighed lightly, took out a money bag from his arms and handed it to me.

"Okay, then I'll take it." Putting the money bag in my arms, I got up and looked at him, and said, "My lord, I have one more thing to say before I leave." As the commander of the Jingzhou Taifu and the governing party, I hope that you can do more responsibility to the people below in the future, and don't let the tragedy recur. ”

Taifu Ling nodded, sighed deeply, and said, "What Miss Xue said is that when such a thing happens, this government has an unshirkable responsibility, and it will definitely not let this kind of thing happen in the future." ”

After leaving the Taifu Yamen, I carried Zichen Liyun in the direction of the Nine Immortals Palace.

I am an optimistic person, and in a blink of an eye, my mentality has returned to the same as before, and all unhappy things have been forgotten, and I have a smile on my face again.

As soon as I came to the mountain gate of the Nine Immortals Palace, I vaguely felt that the eyes of the disciples guarding the gate were a little different, and after entering the mountain gate, one of the disciples reminded me loudly, saying:

"Girl, the head of the gate has been out of the customs, after hearing about what happened to you here a few days ago, he seems to be very unhappy, you should be careful and ask for more blessings."

Hearing him say this, I vaguely felt that this teacher, who had never met before, should not be difficult to speak, and it seemed that she had to be mentally prepared early.

I exhaled a breath, with a harmless smile on my face, and said, "Where is the head of Dao Han now?" ”

A disciple guarding the mountain gate pointed to the snow-capped mountain in the distance, which was white and white as jade, covered with snow, and said, "Hey, it's in the Frost Palace on the Snow Jade Mountain, but I advise you to go to see her after a while, so as not to ask for hardship and suffer from it." ”

I pouted: "What am I afraid of, those people are flying and domineering, they should have been fighting, and I didn't do anything wrong." ”

"Yes, then you can go, don't wait for the boss to slap you and fly out." One disciple pursed his lips and mocked, and several other disciples also nodded when they heard this.

I looked at them suspiciously, and then looked at the snow-capped mountain in the distance: "The temper of the head of Daohan...... Very hot? ”

"Who says it's not, look over there, it was originally the council hall of our Nine Immortal Palace, but with a wave of our master's hand, it became a ruin, and it is still being built."

I looked in the direction the man was pointing, and saw that there was a building ruin, rubble and foundation stones scattered all over the ground.

"This Dao Han is in charge, why are you demolishing the house?" I looked at the ruins and muttered, and my heart retreated at this moment.

The disciple shrugged: "I heard that at that time, in the council hall, an elderly elder relied on the old man and betrayed the old man and said a few words to the master, but as soon as her temper came up, she was like this. ”

Looking at his accustomed expression, presumably this Dao Han Master must have demolished her house when she was idle in the Nine Immortals Palace......

"Girl, why can't you go over, aren't you afraid?"

"If you're scared, leave quickly, don't force it."

"yes, yes, let's go."

These disciples guarding the mountain gate spoke one after another, and there was no lack of cynicism in their words, and they just wanted to see my jokes.

I glanced at them, straightened my back, and said stiffly, "Who is afraid!" I came from Chang'an to visit, can she still eat me? Maybe she'll meet me later, and I'll have tea with me. ”

After saying this, I stepped on the breeze, got up, and rushed towards the snow-capped mountain without looking back, and as soon as I came closer, I felt the temperature around me drop sharply.

Snowflakes were flying in the sky, and the biting cold wind was whistling from all directions, slapping on the face like pins and needles.

At the same time, there was a sudden step on the air under his feet, and he fell directly from mid-air, face down, and fell into a dog eating.

"Ouch hey......" I grinned and sat up from the snowdrift, rubbed my thighs and arms, and rested for a while before getting up.

It was only then that I noticed that the environment around me had changed drastically, the white and flawless snow-capped mountains in front of me had become verdant, the ancient trees had risen from the ground, the clouds covered the sun, the biting cold wind and the snow were gone, and the breath of death was in the air.

"I'm ...... Crossed?? "My mouth is in an "O" shape, looking at everything in front of me with a demented face, just a blink of an eye, how can it be like a different place, I am sure I have not come to the wrong place?

"Girl, if you want to go to Snow Jade Mountain, you must pass the test, the old man advises you to retreat, but whether to advance or retreat, you choose for yourself."

At this moment, a desolate and old voice came from the sky, the sound was like thunder, resounding in all directions, echoing in this world for a long time before returning to calm.

Test? No way...... Why haven't I heard those gatekeepers mention it just now, could it be that Master Dao Han temporarily added it to me? Is it because I injured her protégé that I took this opportunity to declare a personal vendetta against me? Anyway, it's also a teacher's wife, don't bring this, right?

I felt a bit of a dilemma in my heart, and if I retreated like this, wouldn't it be a shame for Master Moqi?

"Regardless of his three-seven-twenty-one, I want to see what kind of test my master will give me!" I stood there and thought about it for a while, but finally walked forward.

Along the way, I took it easy and saw it as a test for myself.

After walking for a distance, the terrain in front of me was flat, the ancient trees were skyy, and the tree branches were like the arms of giants, stretching out into the sky, a lush greenery, and there was nothing unusual to see so far.

But I didn't let my guard down because of this, I sneaked cautiously along the way, watched the six roads, listened to all directions, held Zichen Liyun in one hand, and held the hilt of the knife in the other, ready to prepare for battle.

After traveling more than 200 meters, I had just passed a few ancient trees with a diameter of about 10 meters, when a huge force suddenly surged, and I was swept away on the spot, slamming heavily on the trunk of an ancient tree.

"Ouch hey...... I hurt my mother~~" I clutched my chest and wailed, and when I looked up at the front, a chill swept through my body.

I saw that behind an ancient tree in front of me, a bright white skeleton was standing upright, exuding a strange and breathtaking aura.

"Bone Spirit?!" I suddenly exclaimed, and hurriedly took a few steps back, and at the same time pulled Zichen Liyun out of the scabbard and blocked it in front of me, looking at the skeleton with vigilant eyes.

But after a long time, the skeleton did not attack me, and stood there motionless.

"Whew~ It turned out to be just a skeleton that had been dried naturally." I breathed a sigh of relief and walked forward.
