In the early morning, the golden crow rises in the east.

In the courtyard, the willows are swaying in the wind, and the two white figures sit under the willow trees and talk and laugh, the men are outstanding, and the women are elegant and virtuous.

At this time, Xiaoqing in the wing room woke up slowly, thinking of some ridiculous things last night, and it felt like a dream.

However, Yin Hong on the bed told her that it was not a dream.

Hearing the laughter in the courtyard, Xiaoqing was a little nervous, knowing that it was impossible to escape, so she had to lazily put on her clothes, and when she opened the door, she saw the two most important beings in the courtyard.

Seeing Bai Suzhen's gentle smile, Xiaoqing was even more nervous, and she didn't dare to look at Mu Qingxiao, her pink lips lightly said, "Sister, I ......"

"Xiaoqing, it is our blessing to be able to accompany my husband."

Hearing this, Xiaoqing pursed her lips, her eyes were slightly red, and she rushed into Bai Suzhen's arms with the fragrant wind.

Seeing this, Mu Qingxiaoxing's eyes were full of relief.

Bai Suzhen hugged Xiaoqing and said helplessly: "You little girl, you screamed so loudly last night, go back to the room and rest for a while." ”

As soon as the words fell, a crimson instantly surged on Xiaoqing's delicate cheeks, pursed her pink lips, and glared at Mu Qingxiao fiercely with apricot eyes.

Mu Qingxiao laughed evilly and said, "Su'er, your voice is not necessarily lower than Xiaoqing's. ”

Hearing his words, Bai Suzhen was stunned, and her cheeks suddenly turned crimson, and her jade hand couldn't help but pinch Mu Qingxiao's waist a few times.

……

……

As time passed, the time of a month slipped away quietly.

A month ago, the newly appointed five-rank official of the imperial court, the mansion of Xu Hanwen, a scholar of Hanlin, turned into ruins, causing an earthquake in the city of Hangzhou.

For such an inexplicable thing, the people of Hangzhou City discussed a lot, speculating whether Xu Xian had done something angry and resentful, so that the heavens would be righteous.

In this regard, Xu Jiaorong was grief-stricken.

Li Gongfu didn't have any way, he was just a small catcher, and he had no foot to meddle in the affairs of the imperial court, let alone the ability to investigate privately.

Helpless, Li Gongfu took Xu Jiaorong to Jinshan Temple to offer incense to keep his relatives safe.

A month has passed, and Xu Xian's deeds have become a topic of conversation for the people in Hangzhou to pass the time.

After all, Xu Xian's deeds are too weird.

Originally, he was just an apprentice in a pharmacy, but suddenly he became rich, a high-ranking official, and received the gift of the saint, but after only a week of enjoyment, he turned into ashes, and he didn't even leave a corpse.

Originally, they all thought that such a big matter would be investigated by the imperial court......

As time passed, to their surprise, the imperial court seemed to be completely indifferent to this matter, and there was no movement in the capital.

As for the county order of Hangzhou City, he didn't dare to take care of this matter, there was no order from above, and he didn't dare to be smart.

At this time, in the center of Hangzhou City, in front of the Xu Mansion that had turned into ruins, three figures stood here.

Among them, the graceful lady is Xu Xian's sister Xu Jiaorong, and the man is her husband Li Gongfu.

In front of the two is an old monk wearing a red robe, holding a Zen staff in his left hand, a basin bowl in his right hand, and a string of Buddhist beads around his neck.

The old monk's name is Fahai, is the abbot of Jinshan Temple, since Xu Jiaorong learned about Xu Xian's matter, faintly guessed that there was a demon in it, and rushed from Jinshan Temple to subdue the demon and eliminate the demon.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Fahai frowned, although a month has passed, and the devastated ruins have also gone through the wind and rain, but there is still a little demonic remnant in it.

"What kind of hatred is it to be so vicious to a mortal!"

With his eyesight, he could see at a glance that a monk had smashed the entire mansion with one palm, and from the residual demonic energy, it was inferred that it must be a demonic cultivator.

When Xu Jiaorong heard this, her face suddenly turned pale, if it weren't for Li Gongfu's support, she would have been paralyzed on the ground.

"Host, you must be the master of Hanwen!"

Fahai sighed, the evil deeds must not be tolerated, and he dared to kill the officials of the imperial court, his behavior was too bad, and he completely interfered with the lives of secular residents.

Although he knew that Xu Xian could be an official, there was something strange about it.

Then, Fahai asked Xu Jiaorong and his wife if Xu Xian had offended anyone a month ago, and asked about his living habits and footprints.

"After the master took office, except for socializing on weekdays, he almost didn't leave the house, but ......"

It was a small servant in Xu's mansion who spoke, his old mother was bedridden that day, so he rushed back to visit, who knew that he had escaped by luck, and now he feels endless fear.

Dozens of people, including Xu Xian in the entire Xu Mansion, all evaporated overnight, making him feel panicked.

"But what?"

Seeing that the little guy wanted to speak and stopped, Fahai asked with a serious face.

The little guy shrank his head and said, "However, a Taoist priest came to the house at the beginning, and afterwards the master ordered the villain to find a woman's residence." ”

Fahai frowned, now except for the demonic qi in the ruins, he didn't find any clues, maybe the Taoist priest and the woman in the mouth of the little guy are clues.

"Daoist? Why did Xu Xian look for that woman? ”

Hearing this, the little maid glanced at Xu Jiaorong and his wife, and said in a low voice: "The master seems to have taken a fancy to that girl, and has given the villain a lot of benefits, so that the villain can keep it secret." ”

Fahai looked at Xu Jiaorong and his wife, obviously felt the change in the two, and said, "Do you know the origin of that Taoist priest?" ”

Li Gongfu took a step forward and said: "Back to the master's words, that Taoist priest called himself Maoshan Daoist Wang Daoling, I saw that he had some ability, so I invited him to come to the house to see a doctor for Hanwen, I didn't expect such a thing to happen......"

"Where is that Taoist priest now?"

Li Gongfu shook his head slightly, he had led people to look for the Taoist priest, but he had searched almost the entire city of Hangzhou and did not find the latter.

Fahai sighed, such an important clue was also broken, and it seemed that he could only find the woman in the mouth of the little guy first.

Moreover, he had a faint premonition that Xu Xian's death might be related to that woman, and even he felt inexplicable about this feeling.

"Do you know where the woman is?"

"I know, if they haven't left yet, they will live in the nearest restaurant near the West Lake in Hangzhou." Because Xu Xian had asked him to investigate, the little maid also paid attention to the news of them from time to time.

Knowing where the woman lived, Fahai nodded slightly, let the little servant lead the way, and said to Xu Jiaorong and his wife: "You two go back first, if it is really a demon, it may be dangerous, and the old man can go alone." ”

As soon as the words fell, the little guy who was walking in front stiffened and was a little undecided.

Fahai said with a serious face: "You can leave after you take the old man over." ”

"Okay, okay."

Not long after, under the leadership of Xiaowu, Fahai came to the separate courtyard where Mu Qingxiao, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing lived.
