Chapter Twenty-Nine: Eating Soft Rice Has a Good Appetite

“……”

“……”

The entire Jingzhao Mansion fell silent.

The crowd who had just solved the problem of prisoner escape encountered an even more difficult case.

More than 100 people from the Xiao family were burned to ashes in an instant.

What's more, this case happened near the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven.

From the moment Jingzhao Mansion took over the case, it had already returned to the huge pit that it had climbed up with great difficulty.

The two young Yin were speechless, only a thousand tears.

Before, they were still coveting the position of Fu Yin, and now they are back into the old cycle of whether they can keep the black yarn hat.

"What about Chen Liu?"

"He's still there, saying he has eyebrows."

"Really?"

Such tragic cases of extermination have been difficult to deal with since ancient times.

The people behind the scenes must be powerful Jianghu experts, and they dare to do this kind of thing outside Chang'an City, which proves their confidence.

The entire Xiao Mansion was burned, and I don't know how many clues can be saved.

Even if there are clues, it is not necessary to find the murderer behind the scenes. Perhaps he had already fled.

They are not necessarily like Jingzhao Mansion, and the monks who escape can't escape the temple.

"Well, check it out first! What an eventful time. ”

……

"That's how they want it?"

Li Wan also learned about the tragedy near the suburbs of Beijing, and knew that the case had fallen on the head of Jingzhao Mansion again.

This made the prince a little crying and laughing.

However, he was not unaware that someone was deliberately targeting Jingzhao Mansion again, but his current position determined that he could only pretend to be deaf and dumb many times, and he could not inflict Thunder Fury.

"Although the authority of Jingzhao Mansion has been reduced again and again, it is one of the leaders outside the Imperial City after all. It's normal for them to want to replace their own people so much. ”

Fan Shu, who was walking in the imperial garden with Li Wan, heard the prince's exclamation, so he replied.

Jingzhao Mansion is naturally not as good as it used to be in the eyes of the outside world, but the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and even if the power is cut again and again, Jingzhao Mansion Yin is also able to participate in the cabinet and speak on the country's major policies.

At this time, the Jingzhao Mansion was swaying, and it was also the Gyeonggi department that best arranged the forces of its own cronies.

"Forget it, no matter what they do, it's not too interesting to make a little fuss. By the way, I heard that Zhou Zhi is going to hold a poetry meeting? Do you have any ideas? ”

Regarding the problem of Jingzhao Mansion, Li Wan had already planned it.

Although things are still unsettled at the moment, wave after wave, it is still within the scope of his tolerance.

Fishing, you have to put a long line and catch big fish.

What he was interested in at the moment was that the gentleman of the academy who had basically not left the gate since he came to the capital and had not stepped out of the second gate suddenly had a dynamic.

"This gentleman doesn't know what to think. I had never heard of Zhou Zhi being longer than poetry before. However, the Guozi Supervisor sent a few students to participate and write poems as appropriate. ”

Fan Shu replied.

Li Wan nodded in agreement.

I don't know how long the academy and the Guozijian are fighting in the dark.

Although poetry together can't decide anything, there will always be some separation to let the other party come out on top.

"You said that if Xiao Yuan suddenly appeared, would it make everyone unable to make poetry?"

Suddenly remembering the mysterious poet and all-rounder, Li Wan asked with interest.

Although from ancient times to the Great Liang Dynasty, there are countless poems and songs that were born, and there are not a few fine works, but most of them are the accumulation of time.

Often, a poet has a masterpiece that has been passed down to the world, and it is an extremely remarkable thing to leave it in history.

Like Xiao Yuan, several poems in a row in the township test and the meeting test are worthy of being masterpieces, and I have never seen a few in thousands of years.

If he really appeared, then there should be few people in the world who could wrestle with him in poetry.

"If that's the case, it would be interesting."

Fan Shu also hoped that Xiao Yuan would appear.

……

Xiao Yuan's real body, he was not in the mood to copy any poems at this time.

After all, watching a fire kill hundreds of people, and the people behind the scenes still fled, Chen Liu was very angry.

The only valuable traces of the scene were the uncharred, kneeling corpse.

"This man has fallen into witchcraft and Gu magic."

Youlan looked at the corpse's pupils and limbs, then nodded at the corpse's head, realizing why he hadn't been scorched by the fire.

"He was caught in witchcraft in front of him, and it wasn't very powerful, it was simply a spell that confused his mind. After death, it seems that he was hit by a corpse Gu and was manipulated. The corpse next to him should have been burned after he was bitten to death. ”

Chen Liu listened to Youlan's analysis, and he also had a plan in his heart.

It's just that these clues alone can't catch that person.

"Hmm...... Well? ”

Just when Chen Liu was a little sleepy, on his shoulder, the black beetle that the general gave him suddenly flew up and landed next to the corpse.

It paused for a moment on the corpse's head, then crawled over its face, chest, abdomen, and lower body, and finally drilled hard into the corpse's heart, and with a bite, a wriggling, gray-white bug was bitten in the mouth by the beetle, and then torn apart and swallowed.

After eating the worm, the beetle flew up again, hovering in front of the crowd, as if to speak:

"What's the fuss? Hurry up and go with me! I'll fly! ”

Chen Liu had never seen such a spiritual beetle, and Youlan explained to him:

"Fifth Senior Brother has always had something strange. After this beetle eats the Gu worm, it may be able to feel the weak connection between the Gu worm and the original owner, so as to achieve tracking. ”

So, the crowd hurried to follow the beetle.

This beetle flew extremely fast, and even made Chen Liu feel a little unable to catch up.

"Yo, boy, no. Just two steps to start wheezing? ”

Youlan walked quite lightly, and with every step, there were points of light formed by the magic under her feet to gently lift her up, without any effort at all.

Zhang Chun, who was with Chen Liu, did not fall into the ground, definitely not because he stayed in the Teaching Workshop Division for too long, and most of his energy was lost there.

Chen Liu ignored the ridicule of the senior sister at the airport.

A five-rank warlock said nine-rank martial arts? I don't despise Takeo so much!

But fortunately, they left Jiang Yuan in the city before leaving the city, otherwise it would be inconvenient if they had to take care of her now.

"Senior Sister Youlan, how high do you think the other party's cultivation can be?"

Chen Liu asked Youlan while running quickly.

"It's not high, it can be said that the ability is sparse, and I can probably pick out a hundred of you."

Are all the warlocks of the Qin Heavenly Prison so skinny?

This sentence probably choked Chen Liu as well.

After the follow-up, he also closed his mouth in recognition.

……

In a mountain forest a hundred miles away from Xiao's house, the rickety old man was releasing a pigeon, explaining the incident with the above.

The above meaning was originally to let Jingzhao Mansion behead Jiang Er at will under neglect through this flawed case, and then let Yushitai impeach the main officials of Jingzhao Mansion.

Wait for the official position of Jingzhao Mansion to vacate, so as to take the opportunity to control the yamen of Jingzhao Mansion.

As for how to arrange people and how to control them, it is not for a low-level person like him to know.

"Damn Qin Tianjian."

Originally, according to this method, he had already fled far away, and there was no need to return to Xiao's house to wipe out their family.

After extinguishing the mouth, the Jingzhao Mansion will be held accountable, although it will make people see the problem, but it can also achieve the goal.

It's not like he hasn't done anything like destroying people, but this is Chang'an, and it may be ...... at any time

"How did you get here?"

Before you see him, you hear his voice first.

The voice is faint, but it makes people feel very scary.

"Not good!"

Although the rickety old man didn't know who the other party was, this method of transmitting sound was obviously not an ordinary person.

He hurriedly shook out the Gu worms on his body, used them as cover, added magic to himself, and hurriedly fled into the distance.

Still, he was a few steps late.

A woman in a black dress was already sitting on a tree not far away, looking at the rickety old man with a smile on her face.

"There are so many bugs, I'm so scared."

“……”

The rickety old man saw that the other party was just a woman, although it was very strange, but after hesitating, he decided to restrain it first and then escape.

Otherwise, he will be restrained by this tail, and if there are pursuers behind him, his life will be at rest.

He muttered words and recited the incantation to repel the insects.

I saw the countless Gu worms that he had sprinkled on the ground, and immediately surrounded the big tree after receiving the order.

However, whether it was a flying insect or a crawling Gu worm, the moment they approached the woman in the black dress, they would instantly burst and die, turning into a blood mist.

"It smells terrible. This poison is really useless. ”

Originally, seeing that the other party had killed the Gu worms, the rickety old man was still a little excited, thinking that the plan had succeeded.

Those low-level Gu worms themselves, even if they were in large numbers, were of little use as long as they encountered an existence with a slight cultivation.

What can pose a threat to the eighth or ninth rank master is actually the toxin he injected into the Gu worm's body.

But when the rickety old man saw that the other party had defended against thousands of Gu worms so easily, and the toxin had no effect at all, he immediately realized that the other party was not an existence that he could fight against.

The heart is horizontal, suppresses the desire in the heart, spits out a mouthful of blood, and falls into the earth.

Then a centipede, the size of an old man, came out of the ground, and the venom in its mouthparts fell to the ground, instantly corroding the ground on all sides.

"Give it to me! Block her! ”

The rickety old man didn't hope that this centipede could stop the woman in the black dress, and after he released the Gu worm, he directly planned to flee.

The next moment, though......

"What? I'm not welcome? ”

He felt a cold hand choke his neck, and with a little force, she could easily twist her neck off, just as he broke Xiao Jingsheng's head.

Under the big tree where she had been sitting, the centipede was dead, and there was a small hole in the forehead of the head, which flowed out of the brain marrow.

"Sister Youlan, why are you running so fast!"

When Chen and Liu were late, Youlan was already sitting on the side, eating rock candy.

The rickety old man had collapsed on one side, and there was a faint blue flower on his head.

Zhang Chun patted Chen Liu's shoulder and said:

"I can only say that eating soft rice is invincible."
