Duan Chu is not stupid, at the beginning of the night, Wen Chaotian wanted to burn the old tree with lamp oil, but Xiang'er whispered a few words, and Wen Chaotian changed his mind and asked everyone to dig out this three-foot tree root.

There is obviously something inside here.

The eyes of the beads can definitely see things that ordinary people can't see.

Duan Chu is very sure of this.

However, even the beads only told the secret of the old tree's growth, and did not tell Duan Chu that the old tree was still hidden in the soil, such a three-foot-long root with dense blood vessels on the surface.

The beads don't know, but this inconspicuous Yahuan Xiang'er actually knows.

At this time, Wen Chaotian entered the courtyard, closed the door with his backhand, and walked in front of Xiang'er in a few steps.

Wen Chaotian waved his hand, motioned for Duan Chu to sit casually, then squatted down, looked at the nodules and roots, and asked, "Xiang'er, after the spiritual root is separated from the mother's body, has the spiritual energy become weaker?" ”

Xiang'er had already taken off the damp cloth on the outside of the spiritual root and poured it on the spiritual root with water.

The spiritual root slowly bent and finally resembled a snake coiled in a circle.

Xiang'er put the human face tree tumor flat on the ground, and then bent the spiritual root into a circle and put it on it.

As soon as the spiritual root touched the tree nodule, it was like finding its mother's arms and clinging to it.

Duan Chu wanted to go up to help, but was stopped by Wen Chaotian.

Wen Chaotian took matters into his own hands, and together with Xiang'er, the two carried the nodules into the room.

Xiang'er freed up a square box, and the two of them carefully packed the tree nodules and spiritual roots into it.

Xiang'er closed the box and locked it, washed her hands before answering Wen Chaotian's question.

"As long as it is well maintained, the spiritual root will slowly recover its aura as the weather warms up."

Wen Chaotian nodded and said, "Then I'll be relieved." ”

When the two of them were busy with this, Duan Chu had been standing by and watching.

Xiang'er nodded to Duan Chu and went to boil water to make tea.

Wen Chaotian sat down and pointed to the chair again, motioning for Duan Chu to sit opposite him.

After Duan Chu sat down, Wen Chaotian did not hide it, and told Duan Chu everything about the spiritual root.

Including Xiang'er's talk about turning plants and trees into demons and spiritual roots, and his plan to wait for the spiritual roots to recover, he will send the spiritual roots to the capital and hand them over to the Ministry of Rites, and then the Ministry of Rites will forward them to the emperor.

The purpose of transferring the spiritual root to the emperor is very simple.

Wen Chaotian took the initiative to tell Duan Chu that it was to curry favor with the emperor and lay a good foundation for the next promotion.

"Master Wen, you don't have to tell me these things." Duan Chu Dao.

Xiang'er brought the tea, Wen Chaotian stood up to catch it, and personally put a cup of tea in front of Duan Chu.

"Yuan Qi, if you want to say that the people I trust the most, except for Mr. Wei and Xiang'er, the rest is only you, so I don't have to hide it from you, and besides, I still have a heavy responsibility for you......"

Shi died as a confidant, and Duan Chu stood up at that time.

"My lord, if you have anything to say, go to the soup and go to the fire, and you will not hesitate!"

Wen Chaotian pressed Duan Chu's shoulder and pressed him to the seat, telling him not to get excited.

"Yuan Qi, risky things, I won't let you do...... When the time is ripe in a few days, the matter of escorting Linggen into Beijing will be handed over to you. ”

Duan Chu suddenly felt that this conversation had happened before!

It was such a conversation before, which made his family have an aunt who is greedy for money and delicious food.

Duan Chu was a little distracted when he thought of this.

"The origin of the one-eyed dragon is unknown, Lord Wen, I know the roots, there should be no problem this time!"

Wen Chaotian looked at Duan Chu in a daze and misunderstood what Duan Chu meant.

"Do you feel that what I'm doing now is all about climbing up?" Wen Chaotian asked.

Wen Chaotian thought that Duan Chu was in a daze because he disliked him as an official fan.

Duan Chu came back to his senses at this time, and quickly shook his head in denial.

"My lord, you are a good official, a good official like you, only by becoming a bigger official can you benefit more people, I support you!"

When Wen Chaotian heard this, he said to Xiang'er with a smile: "Xiang'er, I heard it, Yuan Qi actually has a flexible brain, and he is much more enlightened than those old masters who judge others with morality at every turn!" ”

Xiang'er smiled and agreed.

Being praised by Wen Chaotian like this, Duan Chu felt very embarrassed.

He has never seen a few old masters from other places, but he respects the old masters of Pengzhou Mansion very much.

After all, he is an illiterate person, and when he sees those who are full of mouths, he often calls the old master of the ancients, and he feels that all of them are Wenqu stars.

Duan Chu thought of this and decided to continue to follow Zhuzi in the future and read and write well.

Wen Chaotian stayed at Duan Chu for breakfast, and after eating, he personally sent Duan Chu to the door.

"Yuan Qi, go home and rest for a few days, I told you before, my next goal is Yingtianfu Yin, and when this goal is achieved, I will definitely take you to Yingtian together!"

Duan Chu clenched his fists and said, "My lord, this trip to the capital, I promise not to disappoint you!" ”

……

At this time, Ma Qianli was discussing the case with Tie Si Prison.

Before, Wen Chaotian took Duan Chu into the courtyard, but instead sent him away, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

Wen Chaotian made it clear that he didn't take him seriously as a confidant and wanted to take him away.

Ma Qianli felt uncomfortable, so he first sent someone to inform Jiang Xiaomei and come over to collect Mrs. Xu's body.

Together with Tie Si Prison, he closed the case.

Mrs. Xu's death became a mystery.

Was she killed by herself under the tree, or was she lured under the tree by whom?

Due to the fact that the evidence has dissipated over many days, and the eyewitnesses are not sure, it is impossible to investigate.

It doesn't matter whether the crime of killing his wife can be determined, after all, he is dead.

In this way, Mrs. Xu's death came to an end for the time being.

The case files related to the Xu family were all sent to Wen Chaotian.

When Ma Qianli went home, he prayed all the way: "I hope that Lord Wen is busy with official business, anyway, the death case is closed, so I won't look at the Xu family's case file carefully, so that I will have less trouble in the future." ”

I thought so, but Ma Qianli didn't know the bottom of his heart, and he was still uneasy.

When he returned home, Mrs. Ma saw that he was covered in dust, and half of his face was red.

"Master, was beaten by Lord Wen again? This Lord Wen looks gentle and elegant, how can he beat and scold his subordinates at every turn, it's too much! "Old husband and wife, Mrs. Ma cares about her husband very much.

Ma Qianli said with a bitter face: "This time it's not about Wenda's personnel, I did it myself." ”

"Master, why are you beating yourself, why are you so hard!" Mrs. Ma was puzzled.

Ma Qianli pointed to the writing on the wall and said, "Thousands of calculations, it is better to calculate the sky!" ”

"When I bought this painting from the Ghost Eye Seven, I should have calmed down and understood it, because I couldn't master the Zen between the lines, and I only used the words as decoration!"

As he said this, he slapped the table again.

"The words of the matchmaker of her parents, the marriage matter, she wants to make her own decisions? There are no doors either! ”

"You tell me that girl, Duan Chu, she will marry if she marries, and if she doesn't marry, she will marry!"

Ma Qianli is determined to marry Miss Ma to Duan Chu this time.

……

Duan Chu returned home, told Zhuzi what had happened, and told Zhuzi again.

Xiang'er said that the matter of Linggen was told by Liu Blind, and Zhuzi was skeptical.

"Liu is blind, he is stingy when he looks at it! Usually talking about ancient stories there, it's all clouds and mountains and fog shrouded blindly, really valuable things, if you don't give him money, he won't say it! ”

Zhuzi believes that Xiang'er is a charlatan who hides her identity.

"No, can there be a Jianghu warlock by the side of the imperial court?" Duan Chu pretended to be amazed.
