Linghu can be regarded as speaking the hearts of everyone in Lingye Palace, and Xiao Yuwen has indeed not treated them badly over the years.

Let's just say that the twenty-four spirits, Xiao Yuwen has also rescued them many times regardless of his own safety. Even for the dead Lingye Palace brothers, as long as there are family members still alive, they are given extremely high pensions.

Although the discipline is very strict on weekdays, they are not allowed to get involved in gambling, alcoholism and other vices, and they are not allowed to linger in the fireworks and willow fields, but they have never been deducted from their food and clothing.

And there are also clear rewards and punishments, each of the twenty-four supernatural beings has their own yards in Nanli City, some of which are rewarded by Xiao Yuwen, and some of which are bought by themselves with their own savings. It should be said that even if they don't want to be on an errand in the Lingye Palace one day, they won't worry about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, after Linghu finished speaking, everyone else gave the same answer. What stories are there between each and Xiao Yuwen, they all know it very well in their hearts.

Xiao Yuwen got up and walked to the twenty-four spirits with his hands behind his back, and his affectionate gaze swept over them one by one

He sat back in his chair and slowly opened his mouth.

"The most terrible thing about being a human being is forgetting the original intention, which is equivalent to losing one's direction, losing oneself, and handing over one's life to others.

I, the Night Charm, have only had a little advice to the brothers of the Spirit Night Palace, if I agree with what the Spirit Night Palace is doing, and believe that the Night Spirit will always stick to her own pure heart, then follow me.

If you feel that the Night Charm can no longer lead you to fight for justice together, then the Spirit Night Palace will still remember the love of sharing weal and woe, and treat you to retire and retire.

Every brother in the Lingye Palace has been born and died with me, and I cherish the life of any brother as if it were my own. If anyone dares to mutilate my compatriots and cut off my hands and feet, the night ghost is still four words: although it is far away, it will be punished!"

Hearing this, the twenty-four spirits fell to their knees for a while, and said in unison: "My subordinates swear allegiance to their masters!

Xiao Yuwen glanced at them, paused and said: "Bu Operator is the patriarch of the Lingyin Guard, and Qiao An is also the Lingye Guard who has served the Lingye Palace for many years. ”​

"Yes!" the Twenty-Four Spirits replied in a low voice.

"Linghu stays, and the others retreat. Xiao Yuwen commanded lightly.

Soon, the other twenty-four spirits all retreated, and only Linghu and Xiao Yuwen were left in the main hall.

"You're not in good shape, don't kneel, sit. Xiao Yuwen glanced at Linghu and said.

"Thank you, master!" Linghu replied, slowly got up, found a place to sit down.

"What do you think about this?" Xiao Yuwen asked lightly.

Linghu glanced up at Xiao Yuwen, just met his sharp gaze, his heart shook slightly, and he breathed a sigh of relief before slowly saying: "My subordinates think that the death of the fortune operator this time may be related to the explosion of Huangyu Mountain.

The last time the news was sent back by the fortune operator was after the queen entered the cold palace and the spirit guard took him to Huangyu Mountain to check the scene.

He studied the topography of the various explosion sites and came to the conclusion that those were buried a month earlier, and that there were many secret passages found in Huangyu Mountain.

When he came back, there were still a few places that were very confused, saying that he would come back to ask a friend, and then go to Huangyu Mountain to have a look.

The subordinates thought, I'm afraid that Bu Operator found some favorable evidence, which made those people afraid, so they wanted to kill people. Just happened to meet the New Year's banquet, killing two birds with one stone. ”

Xiao Yuwen frowned, he didn't associate the death of the fortune operator with the explosion of Huangyu Mountain. The reason why he let Bu Operator go is because he is familiar with astronomy and geography, and one more person goes to one more staff officer, but listening to Linghu's analysis, it seems to make sense.

"Who are the people who went to Huangyu Mountain with Bu Operator?" Xiao Yuwen asked with a frown.

Linghu thought for a while and shook his head, "This subordinate still has to go down to investigate, at that time, I asked Lingmu to ask for a fortune operator, and then he had something to do, so he sent someone else." ”

Xiao Yuwen nodded, "Is there any abnormality after Bu Operator came back from Huangyu Mountain? And that Qiao An." ”

"For those who have some friendship with the divination operator, there are a few people in the twenty-four spirits, and the subordinates have already asked, and in recent days, the divination operator has not had any abnormal behavior. Only one day in the liquor store drinking, with a dispute with a person, Joan appeared in time, but nothing happened. Linghu said softly.

"Check carefully, don't let anyone go, everyone is suspicious now. In addition, the supernatural guards of King Jin's Mansion were replaced, and they were rotated every six months in the future. Xiao Yuwen said lightly.

"Yes!" Linghu replied with a bowed head. It seems that he is busy again, and the spiritual guards of the Jin Palace's Mansion must be carefully selected, and they can only be used after a few days of training, after all, the palace has to observe a lot of etiquette.

Especially when a guest is visiting, there is no room for any courtesy. In the past two days, many court officials have come to King Jin's mansion to visit King Jin, and the proportions of dealing with people and things are really not something that any supernatural guard can easily handle.

Xiao Yuwen came out of the twenty-four supernatural courtyard and went back to the room. Seeing that Lin Wanyan was getting dressed and wanted to find herself, she still wanted to laugh, this girl can't see herself for a while now, so she won't feel at ease.

"Xiao Yuwen, can you not be elusive one day?" Lin Wanyan saw Xiao Yuwen push the door in, and immediately turned worry into anger. She turned over and found that there was no one around, and she woke up in an instant, thinking that there were assassins in the palace of Mo Feijin? If this continues for a long time, it will really be a nervous breakdown.

"Linghu was in a hurry to find me, so I went out to talk to him for a while. Xiao Yuwen took off his clothes as he spoke, preparing to go to bed.

"What are you going to do in the future, can you let me know in advance? Don't you know that I'm going to be worried?" Lin Wanyan took off her clothes angrily and lay down under the covers.

"I see you're asleep! I'll tell you, I'm going to wake you up!" Xiao Yuwen was not aggrieved, but when he heard Lin Wanyan say that he would worry about himself, his heart was very warm.

"Don't talk nonsense! You must have gone out by yourself, and said that Linghu was looking for you, is Linghu so uninteresting? The sky hasn't fallen, and he dares to disturb your sleep!" Lin Wanyan said unhappily.

Xiao Yuwen smiled and didn't speak, this girl is getting harder and harder to fool. He lay down in the quilt, hugged Lin Wanyan into his arms, kissed her cheek, and said softly: "Be good, go to sleep, it's late." ”

Lin Wanyan originally wanted to ask him what he was doing when he went out, but when he saw him like this, he knew that this guy would definitely not say anything, so he didn't ask again, closed his eyes, and fell asleep after a while.

In the early morning of the next day, Lin Wanyan was still sleeping soundly, but she heard a knock on the door, and it was really the voice of the spirit fox, she instantly wanted to retract what she said last night, this spirit fox didn't seem to be so interesting.

Xiao Yuwen put on his coat and went to open the door, he knew in his heart that if it wasn't for something important, Linghu would definitely not come to knock on the door.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuwen asked with a slight frown.

"Master, Lingyu committed suicide. Linghu lowered his head and whispered.

Xiao Yuwen was stunned for a moment, Lingyu ranked nineteenth in the twenty-four spirits, the youngest, only fifteen years old, and he was the Yueziwei that the Yuewangfu had been cultivating since he was six or seven years old.

The reason why he was selected as the twenty-four supernatural is because he made a good dart, and one of the twenty-four supernatural was unfortunately killed in a mission, and Lingyu was substituted.

Because Lingyu is young, his mouth is sweet on weekdays, and Lingwei takes good care of him. In addition, he is generous and generous, and gets along well with everyone.

Soon, Xiao Yuwen put on his clothes and followed Linghu to Lingyu's own courtyard in Ji'an Lane, where there were already several spiritual guards guarding there.

On the way, Linghu had already told Xiao Yuwen about the situation. Last night, after Xiao Yuwen asked the twenty-four spirits to step down, he completed the night duty rotation in the middle of the night, and Lingyu asked Lingzhu to go to him to drink. Both of them drank a little too much, and Lingzhu stayed at Lingyu's place.

When it was almost dawn, Lingzhu woke up with urine and got up to go to the toilet, only to find Lingyu lying on a recliner in the courtyard. Lingzhu thought that Lingyu was too drunk last night and couldn't find his room, so he wanted to help him back to the room to rest, but he knew that Lingyu's body had been stiff for a long time.

Xiao Yuwen looked at Lingyu's corpse, which was consistent with Linghu's judgment, Lingyu committed suicide by taking poison herself. Lingbeiwen routinely searched Lingyu's courtyard, and found nothing special except for some gold, silver, antique, jade, and silver tickets.

Finally, a piece of a woman's handkerchief was found on Lingyu's body, and the delicately embroidered red plum on the white handkerchief was particularly eye-catching.

"Does anyone know what?" Xiao Yuwen asked, pointing to the handkerchief.

Everyone was silent for a while, and after a moment, Lingzhu timidly opened his mouth: "Master, I know something." ”

"Say!" Xiao Yuwen said sharply.

"About a month ago, on the way back here to rest after the night, Lingyu met a woman who was almost insulted, so she rescued her. Later, I learned that it was a singer in Bixiu Lou who did not sell her body, called Hongmei. When Lingyu heard that she had a poor background, she asked me to borrow some silver taels to redeem her. What happened to the two later, the subordinates don't know. Lingzhu said in a low voice.

Is this what I've been teaching you for years?" Xiao Yuwen shouted with a dark face.

The spirit guards all lowered their heads and were silent, and after the spirit bead finished speaking, everyone basically counted it in their hearts. After all, Lingyu was too young to be easily confused, and the woman named Hongmei was probably a trap that had been arranged a long time ago.

And the facts found out also prove everyone's conjecture, Bixiu Lou has a singer named Hongmei, but she was ransomed after only a few days, where did this Hongmei come from, and where did she go after being ransomed, there is no way to find out.

After what happened, everyone can only make some inferences: this woman named Hongmei should be a person from Baihua Palace, and after gaining Lingyu's trust, or on the grounds that she was threatened, she forced Lingyu to provide some information about Lingye Palace. Lingyu herself was also condemned by her conscience, and Xiao Yuwen's words last night made him even more embarrassed, so he chose to commit suicide by taking poison to apologize.

And Lingyu's yard did not find the woman's things, which means that they did not live together. So where this woman named Hongmei went, and how she got in touch with Lingyu on weekdays, became a mystery.
