Chapter 536: Evil?
Du Bai didn't care too much about the trouble in the other party's mouth, after all, he didn't really stay incognito here for fear that others would know about him, otherwise he wouldn't have solved the problem in Yuanyang City again and again.
He was just a little curious about what the trouble that could make this Xu Gongzi feel tricky and even ask for him.
"It's okay, tell me what's wrong with that friend of yours, and if it's not a big problem, I can help you once."
Du Bai sat back in his chair and asked him to sit down too, presumably tired from hurrying here.
"Then thank Brother Du for her first!" Xu Zhiyan was overjoyed, and then explained all the ins and outs of the matter to him clearly.
And to Du Bai's surprise, this matter was still related to the young lady of the Wen family and Zhu Erdan!
"The Wenjia lady's name is Wen Caiyun, she has a gentle and virtuous personality, because she was born in a scholarly family, so she is also quite familiar with some ancient texts, and she is also very yearning for the ghosts and gods after seeing the books and periodicals we have learned."
"In the early years, I joined our God-Seeking Society by chance, and I happened to know each other by chance, because we could talk very well, and we were quite good friends, and we had talked about many legends about ghosts and gods......"
Between the narrations, Du Bai understood the reason for this incident.
It's basically the follow-up to the story that Su Zhirou talked about before.
In fact, at present, it seems that this story has not continued in the direction of Su Zhirou's speculation at all, but has come to a great reversal!
Now the Wen family saw that Zhu Erdan was really so talented and won the first place in the government examination, and then he must have a good career, and seeing that his own young lady was infatuated with him, he didn't do anything to stop it, and simply agreed to the marriage of the two.
A few days ago, preparations for the marriage had even begun, and the matter was concluded on the auspicious day of the zodiac!
So far, everything should be considered happy, and there should be a happy ending. Unexpectedly, there was a sudden obstacle in the middle, it turned out that the prefect admired Zhu Erdan's literary brilliance very much in the imperial examination, and he looked like a talent, and he was very talented, so he had the idea of cherishing talent.
It just so happened that there was a daughter in the boudoir in his family, so he was moved in his heart and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law!
In fact, there are some misunderstandings in this. The prefect did not know the relationship between Zhu Erdan and the Wen family, or that Zhu Erdan deliberately concealed the news when he met the prefect in person, and took the initiative to show the prefect his goodwill!
Although the Wen family is also a scholarly family, when it comes to family history, it is definitely not comparable to the local prefect, and there is even a gap for a while.
"And the daughter of the prefect has also seen it at a banquet, and her appearance is very outstanding, and although Miss Wen has a gentle temperament, her appearance is still inferior to it." Xu Zhiyan couldn't help but sigh, "So Zhu Erdan chose the prefect's side, wanting to cancel the marriage contract with the Wen family and marry the prefect's daughter instead." ”
Du Bai nodded, thoughtful.
If this matter is placed on someone else, it may only be regarded as morally inferior. But if it is placed on this Zhu Erdan's body, it will be a little strange.
Sure enough, Xu Zhiyan continued: "But Miss Wen didn't agree at all. Since the original overboard, she and Zhu Gongzi have known each other for two years, and they know each other's temperament very well, how can they not understand that the other party is not the kind of person who will cling to the powerful and abandon her? ”
"So......" Du Bai looked at him.
"So Miss Wen thinks something must have happened to Zhu Gongzi!" Xu Zhiyan's expression gradually became solemn, "Including the fact that he can win the first place in the government examination this time!" ”
Although it may not sound good, according to her, Zhu Gongzi used to have a more honest and ...... personality Not very smart. If it is according to its previous strength, it is a blessing to be on the list in this government examination, how can it be possible to win the top position among tens of millions of people? ”
"And his temperament has become very strange these days, sometimes irritable and sometimes depressed, just like a different person, the whole person is manic, and many people in the Wen family are frightened!"
"Judging from Miss Wen's guess, maybe he met some ghost and became like this because he was possessed!"
"In other words, that Miss Wen guessed that the current Zhu Erdan's body is no longer the same Zhu Erdan as before?"
"That's true." Xu Zhiyan nodded, "Miss Wen herself is a member of our Divine Seeking Society, so she quickly associated the reason with this aspect, but there is nothing she can do, the only thing she can do is to take advantage of the present to go to the temple to offer incense and pray, praying that he can return to his original state." ”
"I couldn't bear it, I hoped I could help her, and then I thought of you, Brother Du, ......"
"And the Wen family is also a family of eunuchs, and they also have some say in Lin'an, if they can get their help, it must also be beneficial to the prospects of the Su family."
"I see......"
Hearing these circumstances, Du Bai already had some possible guesses in his heart.
Something must have happened to the other party, and even a heart was directly changed!
If even a heart has been changed, then perhaps it is inevitable that the whole person will change.
He couldn't help but think of the young man of the Liu family who he met in Yuanyang City before. In order to succeed in the imperial examination, the other party stubbornly used evil magic to transform a heart of knowledge, and his heart began to change drastically from that time, and he began to degenerate step by step, and even finally became a person who is not a ghost or a ghost, and ended up in destruction.
And now, although I don't know what kind of means this Zhu Erdan used to change his heart, there must be serious sequelae.
You must know that there is never a free lunch in the world, and if you want to reap it, you must pay a price!
It's just that the severity of the cost is different.
However, at present, the other party's situation does not seem to be too serious, and there may be a chance to save it......
Thinking of this, Du Bai nodded and replied: "I know, I'll go back and ask some friends to investigate later, if it's possible, I'll help them." ”
Although it doesn't matter if he ignores it, saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, and he is still willing to help if he has the ability.
Hearing this affirmative answer, Xu Zhiyan relieved his heart and thanked solemnly: "Then there is Brother Laodu!" ”
In his mind, if Zhu Erdan was really evil, then with the power that Brother Du could communicate with ghosts and gods, it must be a simple solution.
However, although it is simple, out of prudence, Du Bai still plans to go to the night to find out the specific situation of Na Zhu Erdan, and then make specific plans after understanding.
