Assassin's House.

Li Daoxuan sat in the main hall wearing the mask of the Green Emperor, his slender fingers tapped lightly on the chair, and the housekeepers in the house, as well as Xia Qingfeng's wife and concubine, were all silent and trembling.

Under the mask, the eyes of heaven quietly opened and looked at these people.

Then Li Daoxuan showed a strange look, because in the eyes of heaven, Xia Qingfeng's wife and concubine were full of Yuan Yin, and there was no trace of Yuan Yang.

In other words, they are still virgins.

No wonder Xia Qingfeng disappeared, they didn't seem to be particularly anxious.

A moment later.

"Let's go down."

Li Daoxuan's voice sounded slowly.

When the words fell, everyone was immediately relieved, and they all breathed a sigh of relief, they had never seen such a powerful person, just sitting there, they didn't dare to breathe.

It's even more terrifying than the old man.

But why didn't he ask us anything?

But they don't remember, they just fell asleep for a while, and then they told everything, even the adultery between a certain butler and the maid, and even what posture they were in.

After everyone left, Li Daoxuan didn't speak, but just took off his mask, picked up the teacup and took a sip quietly.

Lou Ling glanced at the mask of the Qingdi, she didn't know why the national teacher would wear this mask after entering the city, but the national teacher has always been unfathomable, and this move must have a deep meaning.

"National teacher, it seems that Xia Qingfeng sensed the danger and fled first!"

Lou Ling analyzed: "He has a wife and a concubine, but he doesn't even have an heir, and he has never even had sex with his wife and concubine. ”

Li Daoxuan didn't speak and continued to drink tea.

The best Tieguanyin has a long aftertaste.

At this time, Lu Chunliang rushed over and shouted loudly: "Found it, found it!" ”

He held a black box in his hand, stained with dirt, and screamed excitedly, this thing had been dug up by himself.

The special aura of the locusts is hidden in this box!

Lou Ling pulled out the dagger at his waist, cut off the shackles, and then carefully picked open the box.

Airplanes!

More than a dozen locusts flew out of it, and as soon as they were exposed to the sun, they turned to ashes and dissipated into the air, which looked very strange.

There are three things in the box.

It was also a human skin, with strange runes and words painted on it, faintly forming the shape of a dark brown locust, which was extremely evil.

The second thing was a couple of bright red candles, half of which were left and smelled bloody.

Finally, there are some stone-like bones, with traces of polishing, shiny and shiny.

Lu Chunliang sighed lightly, as if he remembered something, recalling the classics he had read in Maoshan.

After a while, he slapped his thigh and said excitedly: "I thought of it, this is the evil array that summons the locust god!" ”

"The human skin of the dead in vain, the human blood candle, and the round bones polished with the monk's eyebrow bones, these are the three things necessary to summon the evil god, and you can't go wrong!"

Summon the Locust God!

Lou Ling sneered: "In this way, the evidence is sufficient, Xia Qingfeng colluded with demons to create political achievements for himself, and after being discovered by the electric mother, he waited for an opportunity to cause harm!" ”

"But he knew that the dragon was missing, and the imperial court would definitely investigate it to the end, so he buried the evidence and fled in a hurry!"

Everything seems to be on the right track.

But Li Daoxuan asked a question.

"If it were you, would you choose your own home when you hid the incriminating evidence?"

Lou Ling was stunned.

Yes, when normal people bury criminal evidence, they often choose inaccessible places, and home is usually not the first choice.

"Perhaps...... Do you want to play a dark light? ”

"After all, he is the assassin of Dengzhou, and he worships the three products, if it weren't for our arrival, even ordinary bad people would not be qualified to search his mansion!"

Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "I don't rule out this possibility." ”

"There is another possibility!"

Lu Chunliang said: "What if Xia Qingfeng had a problem summoning the locust god? ”

Lou Ling's eyes lit up, this is indeed a train of thought.

"Xia Qingfeng colluded with demons, maybe the previous floods and droughts were all recruited by him, so he was able to predict the prophet, this time the locust plague is no exception, he first beat the locust god tattoo, won fame, and when the locusts really came, he raised his arms and led everyone to resist the locusts!"

"It's a pity that I often walk by the river without getting my shoes wet, this time there was a problem with the spell, the locust god is not so easy to speak, coupled with the investigation of the dragon, Xia Qingfeng knew that something was not good, so he fled in a hurry!"

As the saying goes, there are no political achievements, creating political achievements, there are no difficulties, creating difficulties.

At the level of Xia Qingfeng, if you want to go up, it is not a small merit that can work, it must be a great merit.

Resisting the locust plague and keeping the grain in Dengzhou is a big enough contribution, and Li Shimin also particularly appreciates this kind of official who is not afraid of ghosts and gods and makes decisions for the people.

Lu Chunliang nodded, if he said this, everything would be clear.

It's just that he still has some regrets in his heart, in fact, he originally had a good impression of Xia Qingfeng, because he also likes trees, especially willows.

The willow buds in early spring are the most fresh and tender, after being copied with water, and then mixed with noodles to steam, the fragrance is smooth and tender.

The meat grilled with willow branches also has a special aroma.

There are 100,000 willow branches fluttering in Qi County, how many meals can you eat!

It's a pity that a thorn history who likes to plant willows so much, but it turns out to collude with demons......

Li Daoxuan neither agreed nor refuted their statement, he had already drunk half of the tea, as if he was waiting for something.

At this moment, a subordinate came to announce that it was Governor Shi Jiahuo who came to meet Emperor Qinglong.

"It's coming so fast!"

Lou Ling sneered: "It's only been less than half an hour since we arrived here, and this Governor Dengshi came in a hurry, just like a dog that smelled bones." ”

Whistling tilted his head sideways, I don't know why.

It was as if he had been humiliated in an inexplicable way.

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, finally put down the teacup in his hand, put on the mask of the Blue Emperor, and said, "You go to the nearby mountain god land together and inquire about the whereabouts of Dianmu and Xia Qingfeng." ”

"Remember, to live is to see people, and to die is to see corpses."

"No!"

The two were ordered to leave.

Soon, a man in a scarlet official robe came, he was tall, slightly fat, and had a strong physique, although he was forty or fifty years old, he still walked with a tiger's style.

It's not like a civilian official, but like a military general.

There are burn marks on the left side of his face, and his eyes are very sharp, like an eagle's owl.

"Governor Deng Shi Jiahuo, meet Lord Qingdi!"

Li Daoxuan smiled faintly and said: "Lord Jia came quickly, the news is so well-informed, no wonder the people of Dengzhou call you Huoli Eagle." ”

The experience of this governor Shi Jiahuo is also legendary.

He joined the army in his early years, and even became a captain of the Xuanjia Army, and later abandoned the military and the literature, and nothing else, the detailed work of the Turks was a check and an accurate, and the observation was very amazing.

In the third year of Zhenguan, he was retaliated against by the Turks, his home was burned clean by a fire, his parents, wife and children were all burned to death, and he was the only one who escaped alive, leaving an indelible burn on the left side of his face.

Since then, he has been even more desperate to capture the Turkic fine works who infiltrated the Tang Dynasty, and he is not afraid of life and death, so he is known as the Fire Eagle.

In the dossier collected by Emperor Qing, it is indicated that Jia Huo and Xia Qingfeng are at odds, and the two have competed for the position of Dengzhou Assassin at the same time.

"Don't dare, that's just everyone's promotion, in fact, my nephew informed me, he had some conflicts with Lord Qingdi before, so I was sincerely afraid and came to me to apologize."

Li Daoxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "That brocade boy who indulges dogs and bites people is your nephew?" ”

Jia Huo was a little embarrassed and said: "Zhong Yuan is indeed a little stubborn, this is all to blame for me, who is too spoiled as an uncle, after the fire back then, I only have one relative, and I also ask the Qingdi Lord Haihan to severely punish him!" ”

Li Daoxuan said lightly: "I hope that Your Excellency will take care of your nephew in the future, and if something similar happens again, my bad man's knife may not be withdrawn." ”

Jia Huo's heart froze, and he bowed down and said, "No! ”

"Okay, is this what Lord Jia came to see me for?"

Jia Huo took a step forward and said, "Naturally, it is for official business, I know that Lord Qingdi is here for the disappearance of Lord Dianmu, and the lower official has clues to inform your lordship." ”

"Tell me about it."

"Yes, Lord Dianmu came to Qi County a few days ago, and I greeted Xia Tingshi at that time, and then Juye County was hit by a locust plague, and Lord Dianmu went to investigate, and when I came back, I asked someone to quietly keep an eye on Xia Tingshi and report his whereabouts at any time."

Li Daoxuan said lightly: "It seems that the electric mother found something in Juye County, and it is related to Xia Qingfeng." ”

"Lord Qingdi!"

Jia Huo continued: "According to the order, Xia Guan sent people to keep an eye on Xia Thorn Shi day and night, and he really discovered a strange thing! ”

"What?"

"Some subordinates saw that Xia Tingshi was wearing a witch robe on the night two days ago, barefoot, stepping on a human skin and chanting words, and red candles were lit around him, which was very infiltrating!"

After that, Xia Tingshi's expression suddenly changed, and the strings of stones in his hands were scattered all over the ground, he hurriedly buried those things, and then hurriedly packed up the gold and silver, and left at night.

Li Daoxuan's heart moved, this was in line with the speculation of Lu Chunliang and Lou Ling just now.

"Are your people continuing to keep up?"

Jia Huo shook his head and said, "They followed, but they didn't go long before they encountered a ghost hitting the wall and almost didn't come back." ”

"The lower official knew that this was strange, so he wanted to inform Lord Dianmu immediately, but it turned out that Lord Dianmu had disappeared and never appeared again!"

Li Daoxuan's fingers tapped lightly on the table, and after a long time, he asked: "Master Jia is known as the Eagle in the Fire, and he is also an expert in solving cases in Dengzhou, what do you think of this matter?" ”

Jia Huo pondered for a moment and said: "As a long history, you must not suspect Shangguan, and this case is treacherous, and Xiaguan really can't figure it out." ”

Li Daoxuan glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't understand." ”

It seems that he doesn't say anything, but he says everything.

Jia Huo wanted to say something, but Li Daoxuan sighed lightly and said, "I'm tired, you go down first." ”

"Lord Qingdi, the little nephew set up the best banquet in the Drunken Immortal Building, and invited the most beautiful dancing girl, I want to make amends to the adult, you see ......"

Li Daoxuan slowly drank the tea in the cup, and his voice was very calm.

"Tell your nephew, all the wine money from Drunken Immortal Building today will be given to the child who was bitten by a dog, one or two less, and I will cut off one of his fingers."

Jia Huo was stunned, he never expected that the other party would be so faceless, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.

But years of experience as an official still made him endure it.

With his official position, he can be fearless of ordinary bad people, but for the dragon, it is still not enough.

I heard that although the Qing Emperor is not one of the four pillars of the Zhenguo, he has the closest relationship with the national teacher Li Daoxuan, and he is the person personally recruited by the national teacher, and he does not belong to the bad people, nor does he belong to the military and the Daomen.

The identity is extremely mysterious.

"No!"

……

After leaving the Assassin's Mansion, Jia Huo breathed a sigh of relief.

He suddenly found that a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back, and now he was blown by the wind, and he only realized it.

What a terrible momentum!

He has rich experience in asking himself, and he has also experienced the dangers of life and death, winds and waves, but in front of this Qingdi, there is still an illusion like he is on the edge of the abyss.

It was an invisible aura that was inadvertently revealed, as if holding the universe in the palm of his hand, and breaking life and death from a thought, he, the governor of the state, actually gave birth to a feeling of being as small as an ant.

"This person is unfathomable, much more powerful than the electric mother!"

"It seems that the so-called Four Pillars of Zhenguo is just a disguise, and the most powerful of the dragons is this Qingdi who was personally recruited by the national teacher!"

……

Li Daoxuan was not in a hurry, and seemed to have made a decision in his heart.

After another half an hour, seeing that noon was approaching, Lou Ling and Lu Chunliang hurriedly came, followed by a white-bearded old man with a Shinto aura on his body.

Interestingly, his white beard is a bit short, seemingly half missing.

Li Daoxuan smiled slightly, Lou Ling was really shrewd and capable, and he had a result so quickly.

"Qiao Jingsheng, the land of Qi County, see the dragon immortal!"

Lou Ling held the sword and stood quietly behind the land duke.

Lu Chunliang said excitedly: "My lord, he knows the whereabouts of the electric mother, this old man originally wanted to hide it, but thanks to Lou Ling, he cut off half of his beard with a sword, and he was willing to say it obediently." ”

The two of them were cold and hot, but they were actually relieved in their hearts.

In the past five years, everyone in the dragon is like brothers and sisters, the electric mother has a lively and cheerful personality, a delicate voice, and she calls her brothers and sisters sweetly when she sees everyone.

Everyone pampered her as a sister.

She disappeared, everyone was in a hurry, even the most mysterious Qingdi kept collecting all the news related to the electric mother all night long, and sorted out a thick stack.

Now that she finally has a clue, as long as she hasn't fallen, with the means of the national teacher, she will definitely be safe!

"Tell me, where's the electric mother?"

The land lord hesitated a little and said, "I said, you have to protect me from being harmed by that monster!" ”

Li Daoxuan glanced at Lou Ling.

Boom!

The long sword came out of its sheath and landed on the neck of the land lord, and the special demon slaying rune pattern made by Qin Tianjian loomed, and there was a trace of dragon qi circulating in the sword body.

Slash the ghost, slash the evil god!

The land lord trembled, and said: "I said, I said, two days ago, Xia Thorn Shi hurriedly went out of the city at night, and the little god saw Lord Dianmu secretly follow, and then she left the territory of the little god, so she didn't know." ”

"You just said that you want me to protect you from being harmed by youkai, what kind of youkai?"

Li Daoxuan asked out loud.

"It's the Willow Demon, a very powerful Willow Demon, Xia Thorn Shi has a very good relationship with that monster, and every year I have to go back to my hometown Juye County to see that Willow Demon, and every time I come back, I can make a great contribution by chance!"

"As a land, you know that there are demons, why don't you report bad people?"

The land said with a bitter face: "The immortal chief doesn't know, the willow demon has great powers, he calls himself the willow god, we are not opponents, once the god of Wufeng Mountain wanted to report, but he disappeared the next day, and his body died ...... death."

Lou Ling sneered.

"No wonder this Xia Qingfeng planted willow trees as soon as he took office, it turned out to be to please that monster!"

"Yanagijin ......"

Li Daoxuan didn't know what he thought, shook his head and smiled.

"Let's go, go to Juye County, let's go and meet this willow god."
