Suddenly, Lin Xiao's wrist was grabbed. When I looked back, I saw that the little girl stuck out her tongue at herself, looking like she knew she was wrong.

"Don't take it as an example." Lin Xiao held her forehead, looking helpless, "Also, don't come here in the future." "Don't come nonsense, what I said was that Yu Zijin ran to the small bamboo forest that day, if she stayed where she was obedient, how could she let the wicked have a chance.

Looking at Yu Zijin, who was sitting on the bed with a pale face, Lin Xiao's gaze couldn't help but soften, stepped forward softly, slowly sat on the edge of the bed, and said softly: "Does it still hurt?" ”

"It doesn't hurt anymore." Yu Zijin immediately replied, for fear that Lin Xiao would be angry again, so he raised his hand to make a gesture of swearing, but unexpectedly involved the wound again, "Hiss-"

Lin Xiao's expression froze, and he instantly grabbed Yu Zijin's half-raised left hand, and gently put his hand down, but his face still had a reproachful look, and his brows were furrowed.

Yu Zijin smiled, slowly raised his right hand and stood in his ear, "I swear, I won't dare again." ”

Lin Xiao sighed softly, originally grabbed Yu Zijin's left wrist, stroked his head, and rubbed it. But after hearing a sound of footsteps, he instantly withdrew his hand, and straightened his sleeves as if he was fine.

"Master." Shi Rong walked to the screen, leaned over and clasped his fists in salute.

"Have a good rest in the house." After speaking, Lin Xiao stood up and turned around, leaving the master bedroom with Shi Rong, leaving Yu Zijin with a puzzled face.

Walking out of the door, Lin stopped at the recliner in the courtyard, looking at the small table with a few uneaten pineapple cakes on the side, and couldn't help but smile dumbly, with a hint of helplessness and softness in his eyes. The little girl seems to be the same as when she was a child, and she likes pineapple cakes very much.

"How is Shi Yi's injury?" Lin Xiao put away the gentleness for a moment, and her expression gradually became cold.

The doctor said it would take some time to wake up. It's just that I don't know what happened to him outside during this time, and he came back with an injury...... "Shi Yi Shirong grew up and practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he has always stayed by Lin Xiao's side, although he is not related by blood, he is like a brother. Seeing that Shi Yi was covered with injuries and unconscious, Shi Rongzi was very worried.

When he heard that Lin Xiao brought back Shi Yi, who was covered in blood, Shi Rong immediately put down the matter in his hand and hurriedly came to the master bedroom to look for him.

Seeing that Lin Xiao was silent, Shi Rong suddenly remembered that he should have reported it before, but because Shi Yi was injured, it had been delayed until now, and hurriedly said: "Recently, many young men in the north of the city have died violently, and this matter has reached the city lord's mansion. ”

"Oh? What does this have to do with us. Lin Xiao didn't seem to care, and wanted to leave.

"According to the dark line, those people happened to have participated in the lake tour held by the city lord a few days ago, and they all died of Gu poison." Shi Yidao.

Lin Xiao's footsteps paused slightly, but quickly returned to normal, and continued to walk forward, thinking a little in his heart, a little clear, hooking his lips and smiling evilly, "So soon, are you going to make a move?" ”

After the incident in Guming Temple last time, the housekeeper disappeared, Yu Zijin was assassinated, and it was only a few days before this happened again, and the people behind this plot were a little anxious......

In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, there were several crying and crying women kneeling in the hall, and there were several corpses covered with white cloths.

"Lord of the city, you want to be the master of the people's wife!" One of the women at the head wailed loudly, her face was full of tears, and her sideburns were messy and fluttering in the wind, so she was not embarrassed.

"Tell me what happened." The green-clothed young man standing beside Li Yan looked at the woman at the head and said in a loud voice.

"Here's the thing, yesterday, our family of three was having lunch in the hall, and I didn't want to, but the old man suddenly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth, unconscious. Later, I invited a doctor to come for diagnosis and treatment, but the doctor said, "Master, this is Gu poison!" If you don't do too much, you will die. This makes our mother and mother orphans and widows, what should we do! Ask the lord of the city to be the master of the people's wife! ”

The woman at the head wept in tears, and the other women who were kneeling beside her also wept and wept.

The green-clothed young man frowned slightly, looked at Li Yan on the side, and saw that he didn't react, as if he was thinking about something, so he glanced at a woman kneeling under the hall in a concubine-colored dress, "What about you?" ”

"Back to my lord, the folk woman was serving the minister late yesterday and was drinking in the hall, but the minister suddenly fell to the ground and called the doctor, saying that he had been poisoned. I never thought that when I got up the next morning and looked at it again, he was, he was already gone! ”

The young man in green asked the other women, and the answers were almost the same. The husband fell to the ground without warning and died soon after.

"Chang Yi, go and call for it." Li Yan, who had been silent, finally spoke, and commanded the green-clothed young man on the side in a cold voice.

"Yes."

After a while, the servant with the wooden box on his back hurried over, "I've seen the lord of the city." ”

Li Yan gave Chang Yi a look, and Chang Yi took the order and said, "Check these people, why did they die." ”

He skillfully opened the wooden box, took out a lot of utensils inside, and inspected the corpses under the hall, and got the answer after a while, but he couldn't believe it, and checked it again, before he solemnly said: "These people have a small lump on their left chest, and their limbs and meridians are all broken, and they should have died of Nanyue Gu poison." ”

It turned out to be really Nanyue Gu Poison? The people who were listening to the trial outside the door were all shocked when they heard this, and they turned their heads to each other. Yancheng is located in Dongqi, how could several residents suddenly be poisoned by Gu poison and die, could it be that the people of Nanyue sneaked into Yancheng and wanted to attack Yancheng? For a while, people were panicked.

"Do you know what kind of poison it is?" Li Yan asked.

He shook his head and said respectfully: "The villain knows a little bit about this Gu poison, and he doesn't know how to judge what the poison in them is. ”

Just when the people were discussing and Li Yan was undecided, Bai Lishu walked from outside the door, "I heard that in the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion today, the case of Gu poison murder is being tried, as the prince of Nanyue, I came uninvited, and I hope the city lord will forgive me." ”

Everyone was wondering if it was the Nanyue people who were causing the rebellion, but Bailishu appeared again at this time, and the people were afraid to avoid it, and when they heard the sound, they quickly made way for Bailishu.

"The prince is coming, and Li does not dare to slack off. Come on, look at the seats. Li Yan replied in a deep voice, without a trace of emotion in his words, and still sat on the main seat without squinting.

"No need, this son is just idle, and when I happened to pass by, I smelled a smell of 'soul devouring' coming from this hall, so I was curious to take a look." Bailishu has gorgeous hair, wears a light blue wide-sleeved robe, and holds an unfolded folding fan in his hand, which shakes gently, which is very eye-catching in the crowd.

"Soul Eater? What does the prince say, 'soul eater'? Chang Yi's face was dazed, and he seemed to be a little foggy.

Bai Lishu put away the folding fan and pointed to the corpse placed under the hall, "These people are exactly the ones who have fallen into the 'Soul Devouring Gu'. ”

The people outside the door were even more shocked when they heard this, and they couldn't help but take a few steps back in fear. Li Yan's face changed slightly, and he asked, "The prince didn't get close to them, how did he know about the 'Soul Devouring Gu' they were in?" ”

"Nanyue has a unique way to distinguish this Gu poison, as for how to do it, it is naturally inconvenient for this son to reveal it." Bailishu covered his lips and smiled.

"If the prince of the world insists on this word, but cannot prove it to the people, how can we know that what you say is true or false?" Li Yan couldn't help frowning slightly when he saw Bai Lishu's strategizing face.

It seems that he had expected this result a long time ago, Baili Shu didn't care, and raised his voice: "If the city lord doesn't believe the words of this son, then you might as well let Shan'er tell me whether what this son said is true or false." ”

After speaking, Bailishu looked at the white and red figures in the crowd, and smiled evilly, "Shan'er, you said yes." ”

Bai Lishan, who was mixed in the crowd and planned to wait and see, was suddenly named, slightly stunned, and after glancing at Lin Xiao on the side, he followed through the crowd and walked to the lobby of the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.

After taking a closer look at the fallen corpse, Bai Lishan immediately frowned. It's really a Soul Eater Gu.

"How? What this son said is true, Her Royal Highness the Princess. Bai Lishu seemed to be sure that everyone would believe Bai Lishan, stared at Bai Lishan with a sad face, and asked loudly.

"Lord City Lord, these people have indeed fallen into the Soul Devouring Gu." After speaking, Bai Lishan's brows furrowed even deeper. He has been adrift in the rivers and lakes, and his reputation in Dongqi is still good, in the eyes of outsiders, although she is a princess of a country, she is a person who will not talk nonsense and use power to help the situation.

It is not a good thing for him to let the people of Dongqi know that the people of his land have been poisoned by Nanyue's Gu poison, so why bother so much?

"As we all know, the Nanyue royal family has the ability to find Gu, and can find the person who casts Gu through secret methods. Although I don't want everyone to believe me, I should always believe in Shan'er. In order to prove Nanyue's innocence, Shan'er should not shirk it. Bailishu smiled and put on a sincere appearance.

At the same time, not only Bai Lishan, but even Lin Xiao frowned slightly. The matter of searching for Gu is extremely expensive, even if the Nanyue royal family has been baptized by a hundred poisons since childhood, and their physique is very good, and it must not exceed half a month between two Gu searches.

At present, the matter of "Half Moon Gu" is not yet concluded, and at this time, Bai Lishu proposed to let Bai Lishan cast a spell, which will make them unable to find "Half Moon" in the near future. But in the current situation, if they don't help, they won't be able to explain to the people, and if they help, the little girl may be in danger......

"Okay, I'll do it." After pondering for a moment, Bai Lishan weighed the pros and cons, and agreed to Bai Lishu's words.

"Her Royal Highness Princess Youlao." Bai Lishu still smiled lightly, waved the eight-bone fan in his hand, and stepped aside.
