Chapter 18: Wooden Signs

It seems that in order to save his life, Wang Mang deliberately hid these notes in the house.

It's a pity......

Liu Zifeng's gaze involuntarily swept over the dried corpses on the ground, and since he entered the bureau of King Jin, let alone a small butcher, even if he was a city and county commander, he could not escape it.

Retract your gaze and quickly flip through the folded notes in your hand.

Just a few words can almost figure out the relationship between Wang Mang and King Jin, and at the same time, it also roughly explains Wang Mang's mission in Fengcheng.

In addition to monitoring the Xiao family at all times, the King of Jin also let Wang Mang secretly spread vicious words that slandered the Xiao family, so as to ruin the reputation of the Xiao family in Fengcheng and even the entire border.

It seems that his initial speculation about this case was basically right.

Until he opened the last note, Liu Zifeng's originally cold face was slightly ugly, he glanced at Xiao Yichen, hesitated for a moment and handed the note to the other party.

"I'm a suspect."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yichen refused, he didn't plan to accept the secret letter, "These are all evidence of the case, and it is very inappropriate to show me." ”

"Uncle won't look at it if you don't look at it, Qingtian will tell you."

Without waiting for Xiao Yichen to be surprised, Su Qingtian said slowly, "Actually, this case is very simple, the King of Jin first sent someone to give Wang Mang a wooden card, and asked him to inquire about Cousin Nan's name and birth date and engrave it on the wooden card with his own hands, and then feed this wooden card with blood for 7749 days." ”

"Finally, take advantage of the night to throw the wooden sign from the backyard into the Xiao Mansion."

Su Qingtian's concise words were basically the same as those in the secret letter, Liu Zifeng looked at the little girl in front of him in astonishment, he thought that everything before was a coincidence, but now ......?

The content on the secret letter, how does this little girl know how to be clear?

He remembered that when he first took it out, there was a handkerchief wrapped around the secret letter, and the little girl didn't have time to open it to check the contents.

What's more, how many words does a five-year-old baby know?

In Xiao Yichen's ears, these words sounded like a different state of mind.

Everything last night was still vivid, he clenched the armrest of the wheelchair with some trembling, looked at Su Qingtian with sharp eyes, and his voice trembled slightly, "Wooden card? But last night's wooden sign?! ”

Su Qingtian nodded affirmatively.

Liu Zifeng immediately grasped the key point in Xiao Yichen's words.

Last night? Wooden signs?!

It seems that when Wang Mang died tragically at home last night, something unknown happened in the Xiao Mansion?!

Knowing that these two things are related, Xiao Yichen did not hesitate at all, took out the wooden card he had hidden last night from his sleeve and handed it to Liu Zifeng.

He already felt that last night's incident was not over, so he kept it with him to prepare for an investigation.

Liu Zifeng looked at the blackened wooden block in his hand, and there was a vague appearance of some figures, and the wooden plaque was indeed engraved with the name and birthday of the Xiao family's little grandson.

He picked up the wooden sign and came to the window to take a closer look, and keenly found that Xiao Nan's Xiao character was the same as the Xiao character on the wall, and the last stroke carried a small hook.

This can be confirmed that the Xiao characters in this room are all written by Wang Mang, and the incident of Xiao Mansion last night is also inseparable from Wang Mang.

"What is this wooden sign for?"

Liu Zifeng only knew how to study and work hard when he was young, and after he got fame, he only knew how to be a good official for the people, and he didn't know anything about this kind of evil magic.

He asked directly, "What happened to the Xiao Mansion last night?" ”

Xiao Yichen spoke quickly, and told Liu Zifeng about last night's incident in 1510, and when he mentioned how his little niece broke the initial evil, his eyes were full of pride in his heart.

At this time, Liu Zifeng was completely stunned, he didn't expect a murder case to pull out ghosts and gods, and his thoughts were in turmoil for a while.

Looking at the blood words in the room again, it was even more terrifying than before.

"Big meat buns!"

There was a burst of aroma wafting from outside the house, and Su Qingtian immediately smelled the smell of meat buns, and her eyes lit up and quickly rushed out of the room, almost colliding with the official carrying food.

When Lord Liu ordered to buy food, the official knew that it was prepared for this little girl, and he lowered his head with a smile and handed all the food to Su Qingtian.

Su Qingtian hugged a large bag of brown paper bags containing various flavors of food, turned around and entered the room.

When she opened the paper bag, plum blossom cakes, pine nut candy, and ten-colored candied fruit were stacked on top of each other, seducing her saliva.

After making sure that the official behind him left, when the little uncle and Liu Zifeng couldn't see him in the back room, he stuffed everything except the big meat bun directly into his bottomless sleeve.

"Ah~woo!"

As soon as you bite into it, the full aroma of meat bursts in your mouth instantly.

The hunger exuded by his body was immediately replaced by satisfaction, and Su Qingtian commented in her heart on the deliciousness of today's meat bun while eating.

After quickly eating one, she took out the second one from her sleeve, and was eating the constant Q&A between the two people around her to remind her that the matter was not over yet.

Lord Liu was obviously ignited by the sudden appearance of ghosts and gods, and he kept asking Xiao Yichen all kinds of questions, about the events in Xiao Mansion last night, and there were also some questions about Wang Mang's death.

It's a pity that Xiao Yichen didn't know about it, he was just an experiencer, and he couldn't provide Liu Zifeng with more useful information.

But Liu Zifeng's curiosity was too strong, and he continued to ask without being discouraged.

Seeing that the little uncle was one head and two big, Su Qing was half-full before he opened his mouth to save the scene.

"This wooden plaque is made from the branches of the locust tree of the previous year, engraved with the name of the cursed person and the eight characters of birth, and fed with a drop of blood every day until after 7749 days, the curse is automatically generated."

Liu Zifeng looked at the little girl who was eating with a mouthful full of oil, and was stunned for a moment and continued to ask, "Then what?" ”

"Hmm." Swallowing the third meat bun, Su Qingtian continued to explain, "Wang Mang throws the wooden card into the Xiao Mansion as required, and it will automatically look for the cursed person, and then it can suck the person's longevity and fortune day and night. ”

"Most of these sucked longevity and fortune are used to nourish Wang Mang and make him increasingly healthy and have excellent financial luck, while a small part is sucked by wooden cards and turned into visible evils."

If the locust tree is a hundred years old, it can cultivate its own spiritual wisdom, and a thousand years will become a spirit.

Liu Zifeng listened to the clouds, and Xiao Yichen on the side didn't quite understand why a tree could have such a powerful ability.

Only Su Qingtian understands that if the second matter is not what Huaishu wants, it can be solved smoothly in the future.

If the locust tree has a heart to confuse people, then it will really embarrass her.

Once the Dao Heart is lost, the thousand-year-old Dao Voyage will be lost.

This locust tree has become a big demon that heaven and earth can't tolerate, it's a pity, it's a pity!

Thinking of this, Su Qingtian couldn't help but pout, Shizun was really ruthless, and he would cause such a big trouble to himself as soon as he went to the realm.

Said good to lie flat, said good salted fish, all can't!
