Hearing that Lin Xia was coming, Xavier hurriedly came to report, saying that the streets were now full of patrols and sheriffs, and Yin Deng's side was temporarily silent. Lin Xia knew that this must be because of Bernie's death, so he told Xavier the news of Bernie's death, and at the same time asked Xavier to stay put.

At this time, because of Bernie's death, the Public Security Department will inevitably come to a wave of crackdowns, and the gangs on both sides can only temporarily cease fighting, and no one wants to touch the official brow at this time.

After listening to the daily report, Lin Xia felt that there would be nothing to do for the time being, and returned to the Viscount's Mansion in the afternoon.

As soon as he arrived at the Viscount's Palace, Bacon came.

As soon as Bacon saw Lin Xia, he hugged Lin Xia's thigh and cried: "Young Master Lin Xia, I am your most loyal servant, I don't want to use the wind again, I really can't stand it." ”

In the past six months, Lin Xia has been thinking about solving the problem of Bacon's inability to control magic, so he first told Bacon the story of the oil seller, and then asked Bacon to only cast one magic spell, and solved the problem of Bacon's inability to control magic through practice.

In this way, Bacon only does two things almost every day, release the wind blade, the mana is exhausted, meditation restores the mana, releases the wind blade, the mana is exhausted, and the meditation recovers the mana in an infinite loop. However, it didn't do much other than train the bacon to be like a dog.

Lin Xia gave Bacon a kick and said, "Don't scream, you don't have to practice in the future." He said earnestly: "I'm also doing this for your good." ”

Hearing that there was no need to practice, Bacon was pardoned and complimented: "Yes, the young master is wise and martial, I came up with such a good method for me, but I was useless and delayed the young master's idea." ”

Lin Xia ignored him, remembering that the reason why his front-end time had risen to level four was largely because he frequently used his true qi to the point of exhaustion, so he asked, "Your magic power should have increased a lot." ”

Bacon was stunned for a moment, felt the magic in his body, and sure enough, he increased a lot, and said: "It has increased a lot, if you practice like this for another half a year, it is estimated that you can be promoted to the second level." ”

Hearing Bacon's answer, Lin Xia smiled and said, "It seems that your magic talent is good, give you an afternoon of rest today, and continue to practice for me tomorrow." ”

"Ahh

"Isn't it your dream to be a magician? Lin Xia said.

"But this kind of practice is too painful. Bacon said.

"If you don't experience wind and rain, how can you see a rainbow, the Sunflower Book has said, you have to hone your will, you can't stand such a setback, how to complete your dream of a great magician. Think about how much Xiao Yan suffered to become a Dou Emperor. Lin Xia said earnestly.

"Who is Xiao Yan, what is Emperor Dou?" Bacon looked curious.

Lin Xia accidentally said the characters from the novel in his previous life, and his eyes widened: "You don't care who it is, in short, if you want to become a great magician, just practice hard for me." ”

At this time, the housekeeper Burton arrived with Bill, and as soon as Bill entered the house, he hurriedly said, "Master Lin Xia, the autopsy report is out." ”

Lin Xia asked Burton to go first, and then drove away Bacon, and said to Bill: "Bring it to me." ”

took the autopsy report and quickly scanned it, the report did say that Bernie was exhausted, but in an inconspicuous position in the report, Lin Xia saw that Bernie had taken ice fruit.

Ice fruit is a contraband in Charlemagne's empire, after eating, it can make you feel high and hallucinate for a short time, and if you take it frequently, you will become dependent, it can be said that it is a drug of this world, and it is only used in small quantities in the army to relieve pain.

Lin Xia pointed to this passage and asked Bill, "Who provided this ice fruit?"

"It should be Yin Deng's to Bernie, in addition to Universal Entertainment and Hongchen, there are many large-scale brothels that will secretly provide ice fruits to customers. "Bill Road.

What Lin Xia hated most in his previous life was drugs, and after coming here, although he also operated an entertainment venue, it was strictly forbidden to sell ice fruits. Lin Xia thought for a moment, squinted his eyes and said, "Bernie was drugged, causing him to be delirious and overindulgent to death. ”

"There is also this possibility, and the security office is still investigating. "Bill Road.

"It's not that there is such a possibility, it must have been drugged, if it is not out, it is Yin Deng's doing. Lin Xia paused for a moment and said, "If you sell ice fruits for your own selfish desires, you should die." ”

Bill instantly understood what Lin Xia meant, and he saw Lin Xia's dislike for the ice fruit, and said, "I'll pay more attention to this." ”

"What else is the news?" Lin Xia asked.

"Bernie's death has alarmed the Imperial Metropolitan Sheriff's Office, which is said to have set up a special team to investigate the matter, and it will arrive tomorrow if nothing else. "Bill Road.

Lin Xia thought for a moment and said, "This is a good thing for you, if nothing else, investigating Bernie's death is one thing, and on the other hand, we will investigate whether there is anyone in Jiangnan who is suitable to take over as the deputy governor in the future." Do you know who they are?"

"Don't know yet?" said Bill.

"Then you should hurry up and inquire, prepare in advance, and understand the preferences of these people. Lin Xia paused for a moment and said, "You received the gold coins I asked you to give you today, right?"

"Received it. Bill said respectfully. He was frightened when he received the gold coins today, but he didn't expect Lin Xia to be so generous for the first time, and directly gave him two hundred gold coins.

"You've entertained the people of the investigation team during this time, and your experience in the police station is too short, and it is estimated that there are not many people, if you need someone, you can go to Xavier. Lin Xia said.

"Yes. Bill said respectfully.

"You go and prepare. Lin Xia said.

After Bill left, Burton came again and said, "There is a waiter in the palace, and the master invited the young master to come over, saying that the review is going to start again." ”

Lin Xia came to the hall with Burton, and saw that the palace envoy who came was still the last time he came to Arlin, and Antonio was already entertaining Arlin.

As soon as Yaerlin saw Lin Xia coming, he hurriedly got up and said, "Young Master Lin Xia, I'm sorry for the doubts about your strength when I came last time. ”

Lin Xia smiled and said, "It's nothing, after all, the imperial capital thinks that I can't cultivate martial arts, and you also mean well, don't take it to heart, please sit down with the envoy of Yaerlin." ”

After Yarlin sat down, he said to Antonio. "Lord Viscount, half a year ago, Young Master Lin Xia became famous in a battle, and many nobles in the imperial capital are saying that there are successors to the Lionheart family, and even His Majesty often praises it, Young Master Lin Xia has a great chance to compete for the first place in the competition. ”

Hearing that Yaerlin said that the emperor praised Lin Xia, he was happy in his heart, and said politely: "Although Lin Xia's martial arts skills are not bad, but there is still Lister in the imperial capital, and Lister has reached the fourth level at a young age, and Lin Xia may not be able to beat him." Antonio didn't want to expose Lin Xia's strength that had been promoted to the fourth level, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "I don't know how the war on the grassland is?"

"Lord Viscount, the steppe people have withdrawn, and the Fifth Army has returned to the imperial capital a few days ago. Yarlin said.

In fact, it's because it's far away, it's really that Antonio has no connections in the aristocratic circle, and the news is closed. Antonio knew that Arrin was just polite and laughed at himself.

After chatting for a while, Yarlin got up and said goodbye, "Young Master Lin Xia, the review will be held again in two days, and I'm sorry for the doubts I had about your strength when I came last time." ”

Antonio and Lin Xia got up to see each other off and walked to the door, and Yarlin suddenly said to Lin Xia: "Your Majesty likes Miss Mandy's song very much. ”

Hearing Yarlin's words, Lin Xia was stunned, remembering the rumor that the emperor likes poetry, this Yarlin is hinting at himself, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Yarlin envoy." ”

After sending Yarlin away, Lin Xia followed Antonio to the study, where the father and son sat opposite each other and did not speak.

Lin Xia was very depressed, and Antonio called him to come to the study and didn't speak, so he had to keep silent.

Seeing this, Antonio also felt very embarrassed, since Lin Xia was promoted to the fourth level, Antonio did not let Lin Xia follow him to cultivate, only let Lin Xia cultivate on his own. This makes the communication between the father and son, who are already talking little, even less.

Antonio got up and looked at Tang's portrait, looked at it for a while, and said, "Lin Xia, do you have any confidence in tomorrow's proofreading?"

"I can't say if I have faith. Lin Xia's answer was vague.

"Do your best, since you have been promoted to the fourth level, only Lister is a threat to you, after all, he is older than you and has more experience than you. Antonio said.

"Well, I'll do my best. Lin Xia said.

"Be careful when you compete, don't be too forced, put your own safety first, and don't hurt yourself for the sake of victory. Antonio wanted to encourage Lin Xia, but he thought that this would put too much pressure on Lin Xia, so he only asked Lin Xia to be careful of himself.

Hearing Antonio's words, Lin Xia felt Antonio's strong fatherly love, and was very moved in his heart, and said: "Lao An, don't worry, I will get the first back, as for the glory of the family, I will do my best." ”

"If you have this heart, go back to your room and rest. Antonio said.

Lin Xia exited the study, returned to his room, and fell asleep after practicing for a while.

The next day, he went to the headquarters in Hongxing every day, and as soon as he arrived in Hongxing, Rodney came to find Lin Xia.

......

At the same time, in a mansion in Jiangbei, Willy and his son also received a notice from the palace envoy.
