In the evening, Xu Chuan and his entourage returned to the Dingjiang Prefect's Mansion.

"Bring the foil to my study and let Aunt Su come over too." Xu Chuan commanded.

"Yes." Li Ming walked over and opened the prisoner car, and flew out the foil like a chicken, a congenital whose dantian was abolished, not to mention that Li Ming and other acquired qi refining masters could not be compared to ordinary people.

The other guard immediately went to invite Su Qing.

Hua Jianfei was already sober at this time, his heart was both panic and despair, and extremely resentful, his cultivation was abolished, life was worse than death, he originally had all kinds of illusions, but he didn't expect that Xu Chuan's methods were even more ruthless than he imagined.

Just scrap him.

All the way to the study, Foil flew to his knees on the ground. Su Qing was dressed in white, with simple makeup, sitting behind the desk with a pen, Xu Chuan became the prefect, and Luo Xingtang did not follow, the original staff of the Jiang prefect were all members of the Jiang family, and almost let Xu Chuan send him away neatly, so the personnel were all newly mentioned.

But Su Qing used to see Xu Chuan from time to time in the county, but now that the latter has become the prefect, it seems to be busier, cleaning up the illegal officials in the mansion in the past two months, Xu Chuan has handled official affairs more heavily, and can only be seen at the dinner table. Su Qing's heart moved, so she asked Xu Chuan for an errand to do some copying and writing things, although she was born as a maid of the Xu family, she was a scholarly family, and she had a big secret, how could her knowledge be poor, she was naturally easily competent, and she could work with Xu Chuan, and she was happy.

In fact, there is really no shortage of people in the prefect's mansion, but Xu Chuan can see Su Qing all the time, why is he unwilling.

"Say it." Xu Chuan stood in front of Hua Jianfei, his eyes were cold, but his voice was not impatient, and when he said the two words, it seemed like a mountain of pressure.

"Hey, hey... I said, what's the benefit? I'm a waste now, Lord Xu, you're so ruthless! Flicker struggled to look up, a pale face with a sickly twist.

"Option one, coax Foil Fei to confess. Luck +20. ”

"Option two, hand it over to the guards for torture and interrogation. Luck +1. ”

"Option three, kill directly. +20 opinion, +20 reputation. Luck -40. ”

Three options popped up in Xu Chuan's mind.

The first one is clean and increases luck, which is of course the best choice in Xu Chuan's eyes. It's pretty much the same as he thought on the way back.

So, Xu Chuan's face showed a friendly smile, overlooking the sword flying on the ground, and said slowly: "What's wrong with the waste, keep a life, there is hope in life, isn't it?" ”

"You, can you let me live? You're before—" Foil Flying's face was stunned.

"You are really stupid, in front of so many people before, in front of the bitter lord, if the government does not punish you, how can you explain to the people of Xiangshan, won't it affect the reputation of the government, you can't see it? Now there are no outsiders here, you say, as long as you confess the Lord behind you, this government will protect you from death. Xu Chuan said.

Li Ming, who was at the door, saw the smile on Xu Chuan's face, but he felt a little weird. After the case, Su Qing was already covering her mouth and snickering.

"Keeping me from dying? Seriously? A flash of surprise flashed in Hua Jianfei's eyes when he heard this, although he was punished very badly, but only when people are facing death do they know how much they want to live, and only when they hear a glimmer of life in despair do they know how attractive this life is.

Isn't life conscious for the sake of living?

However, Hua Jianfei immediately shook his head again: "No, it can't be, you lied to me." ”

Xu Chuan frowned.

"This official is the third in the Great Xia innate list, and his reputation is prominent, in this Qizhou, the two positions of Qizhou Mu and King Jin can be above this official, this official is full of words, how can he lie to you? As long as you confess your guilt and confess, the official will ensure that you are fine. ”

State pastoral? Hearing this, a flash of brilliance flashed in Hua Jianfei's eyes. At the same time, he also convinced himself in his heart, the stronger he is, the more arrogant he is, this Xu Chuan ranked third on the Great Xia innate list at a young age, of course, the more he cares about promises!

What he said, it must be true! Will definitely talk the talk!

But he did not know,

When you deceive others, when you deceive those women, do you ever think about making promises? … Promise it, that's ridiculous. People are like this, they will subconsciously link the other party's social status and reputation, but in fact it is pure nonsense.

"Okay, I said, I said, the villain is just a pawn, and the mastermind behind it is the ninth wife of Qizhou Mu, Mrs. Yuan!" Hua Jianfei said.

Xu Chuan raised his eyebrows, Li Mingdu's face changed by the door, and the tip of the pen that Su Qing was scratching on the paper also paused.

Mrs. Governor?

There are seven officials in front of the prime minister, not to mention Mrs. State Shepherd! What a big shot!

"You say it carefully..."Xu Chuan said in a deep voice.

"Yes, we are under the order of the Ninth Lady, hibernating in one place, abducting babies and children under the age of ten, and refining spring water with their flesh and blood..."

The more he confessed, the more frightened Xu Chuan became, the rejuvenation water was created by the evil cultivator who called himself the rejuvenation ancestor tens of thousands of years ago, this rejuvenation ancestor cultivated as general, but he liked to study the side door and left the way, alchemy medicine, the most famous is to develop the rejuvenation water, its effect can make people look ageless, so that the old woman is like a girl! Even until death, she can maintain her girlish appearance, but it must be applied for a long time, and once the face is terminated, it will age rapidly.

The main material of rejuvenation water is the flesh and blood of babies under the age of ten, and the refining process is also very simple, Mrs. Nine will regularly give them a lot of refining porcelain bottles, the porcelain bottle is half a magic weapon, as long as the baby is bled out, the porcelain bottle perceives the flesh and blood of the baby, you can directly swallow and refine, until the baby is sucked into white bones alive.

The cruelty of the process makes people smell and change.

"How much flesh and blood of babies and children... It can refine a porcelain bottle of spring water. Xu Chuan said in a deep voice.

"A baby's flesh and blood can generally refine a porcelain bottle of rejuvenation water, and ten babies are a bottle." Hua Jianfei didn't dare to hide it, and he would answer all questions.

Xu Chuan glanced at the thousands of porcelain bottles in the jade pendant in the storage, and as soon as he sensed the weight, he knew that almost half of the porcelain bottles were full. Ten babies is a bottle, how many babies do you need?

"Sign for him."

There was a sinister aura between Xu Chuan's eyebrows.

Li Ming strode to the front of the case and placed the confession written by Su Qing and the cinnabar plate in front of Hua Jianfei.

Hua Jianfei looked at the confession in front of him and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Raising his head and trembling and glancing at Xu Chuan, he also saw that Xu Chuan's face was ugly, the powerful momentum was pervasive, and the killing intent of the innate powerhouse at the artistic conception level seemed to put him in hell!

It's like an ant facing a tiger!

Panic, trembling!

He didn't dare to talk about any promises, conditions... I can only pray in my heart that Xu Chuan will be trustworthy and sign the rules and regulations.

Then at the suggestion of Xu Chuan, he was imprisoned in a dungeon in the mansion, which was built by the previous prefect Jiang in this prefect's mansion

The dungeon is not held by prisoners, but by many women and girls who have been abducted and robbed, **! This Jiang prefect is not as arrogant as Jiang Youde on the surface, and there is no Jiang Lang evil, but his evil is in the dark.

In the dead of night, the Jiang Governor's Mansion would enter this dungeon, enjoying it like an emperor, controlling the life and death of those people. Of course, this kind of scandal was suppressed by the imperial court, and the Jiang family is finished, and if you declare these again, it will be a scandal of the imperial court. What's more, Xu Chuan deliberately concealed this matter in order for those women and girls to go back and live again, and said that he was rescued by a trafficker.

Now...

"Damn it!" Xu Chuan looked at Hua Jianfei's confession, and his face was pale.

"Chuan'er, this state pastor is guilty of a lot of sins, she really deserves to be killed, but the status of the state pastor is respected, it is the respect of a state, and it will definitely be protected, if you are the prefect of Qizhou, you will offend the state pastor..."

Xu Chuan had already popped up three options in his mind: "One, when you don't know about it, protect yourself." Luck - 1000. Su Qing's favorability is 100, and Li Ming's favorability is -20. ”

"Second, go to the Imperial History Terrace, please investigate the Imperial History thoroughly. Luck +500. Su Qing's favorability of 100 remains unchanged, and Li Ming's favorability of 100 remains unchanged. ”

"Third, inform the state pastor of this matter, and send the rejuvenation water to cover it up. Luck -1000, Governor +20, Lady Yuan's +80. Lower grade spirit stone +300. Inferior magic weapon sword +1. Su Qing's favorability is 100, and Li Ming's favorability is -80. ”

Xu Chuan only glanced at the three options. Other variables are no longer strange according to his choice for so long, even if the "rich return" of the third option, he only glanced at it, but it was the change in the favorability of the two that made Xu Chuan stunned.

Li Ming's favorability will change because of his choice, because in the former's heart, Xu Chuan has established an image label of justice and fairness. If he is afraid of power and abandons justice, then Li Ming will also look down on him! Disgusted with him.

Li Ming is grateful because of Xu Chuan's kindness, and follows because of his personality. When Xu Chuan doesn't have that kind of personality charm, he will leave Xu Chuan. It is also a moral relationship.

As for Su Qing, no matter how Xu Chuan chooses and does it at this moment. Her feelings for Xu Chuan are all unchanged, unchanged, unchanged!

Because in Su Qing's eyes, Xu Chuan is Xu Chuan, he is a good person or a bad person, he is Xu Chuan, whether he is a righteous man and a clean official who can stand up for justice and justice, or an ordinary man who can be timid and fearful, and covets the powerful, Xu Chuan is just Xu Chuan!

The one she loves, the Xu Chuan who accompanies her!

Walk together in a plain way, and break through the sea of swords and fires together. Su Qing never asked Xu Chuan for anything, but no matter what Xu Chuan did, she was the one who supported without hesitation.

Xu Chuan looked at Su Qing's eyes, his heart trembled, and he couldn't help but hold her hand under the sleeve robe, Su Qing's arm seemed to tremble, but the expression on his face was much softer.

"Chuan'er, what are you going to do?"

"The Imperial Court!"

A hint of evil flashed in Xu Chuan's eyes, he chose two! What about the Lady of the Governor's Pastor? What if you don't do it? That's the life of an unknown number of babies! Even if it's not luck, he has to give it!

"Shangyu Imperial Court, the evidence is sufficient, no matter how powerful the Qizhou Governor is, can he stop the entire imperial court?"

Xu Chuan's understanding of the Great Xia Dynasty, the law was founded by the Xia Emperor, and this is the rule set by the Xia Emperor! Challenging the rules of the Xia Emperor, that is to provoke the Xia Emperor!

Who would dare? And Xu Chuan has a certain amount of self-confidence... The state pastor will not personally attack him, and he will not dare to disadvantage him head-on.

Who is he, ranked third on the innate list of today's Great Xia, the prefect of Dingjiang! The evidence is conclusive in the case of the imperial court, and your state pastor dares to interfere and suppress it regardless of it?

Then it's not just to kill him a little congenital, a little prefect, but to provoke Emperor Xia! Provoking the imperial court!

"Okay." Su Qing bowed his head easily, and Li Ming, who came back, also nodded heavily when he heard what Master Xu said.

The prefect wrote a book and sent it to the Imperial Historical Observatory that night. How huge the Xia Dynasty is, there are many congenital periods in the imperial history platform, the monks who sent and received the memorabilia worked hard for the merits, and received this memorabilia, and saw that it was the Dingjiang prefect who impeached Mrs. Qizhou, and did not dare to delay, and immediately told a Jindan imperial history "Qin Jing".

Yushi Qinjing received it, checked it, said that he knew, and put it aside at will.

And turned his head, and took out a command talisman to summon the message.

………

Night, Qizhou Prefecture Pastoral Mansion.

The Ninth Lady Yuan was wearing tulle, sitting in front of a mirror with a graceful figure, proudly looking at the figure reflected in the mirror, with curved willow eyebrows, wise and delicate eyes, a delicate and small nose like mutton fat, bright red water chestnut-like lips, and a pointed white chin... She is over seventy years old this year, even if she becomes a congenital and has many offerings from the state pastor's mansion, but her face is gone, who can stop it? And she blocked it.

Now in her seventies, she is still like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with a girl's face and a woman's charm.

"The rejuvenation water is almost running out, I have to let the ghost girls send some more, Qiu Leng is dead, but there is a good dog missing..."She chuckled, her delicate fingers were pouring out a drop of crystal jade liquid from a small porcelain bottle, the jade liquid was pale red, round and viscous, and exuded the breath of life.

Suddenly...

A figure walked into the room, this figure appeared quietly, the moment it appeared, a layer of invisible fluctuations enveloped the entire room with him as the center, the originally brightly lit room, as if it fell into another space in an instant, that is, the maid guards outside, all felt that the whole room suddenly disappeared!
