Chapter 22: Driving away bad luck

After Liu Zifeng was transferred from the capital to the remote place of Fengcheng, although he knew a lot in the officialdom, he had always disdained the theory of ghosts and gods.

There has always been a rumor in the officialdom about the national teacher's ability to reach the sky, saying that he used the power of the gods to prevent disasters again and again in the Mexican country, and at the same time protect His Majesty's dragon health.

It is precisely because of this that most of the officials in the capital and even the whole country, led by the current saint, worship the national teacher as a god.

And the Xiao family, who has made great achievements in war, has always believed in the battle of seeing is believing, so because of the words of the national teacher, he was expelled from Beijing by His Majesty in semi-exile to take care of military affairs in this border city.

Even in this remote place, there is a legend of the national teacher, because of his powerful ability to change his life against the sky, many people in the Mexican country respect this kind of strange person very much.

The previous Liu Zifeng, like the Xiao family, didn't believe in any demons, ghosts and gods at all, and in his mind, it was just a trick to bluff people.

But today, after seeing the little girl's skills, he subverted his beliefs for so many years.

"Whatever you want, just say it."

Su Qingtian licked the peach crisp dregs in her palms, and finally burped when she was full.

A pair of big dark eyes flickered towards Liu Zifeng.

Seeing that the little girl seemed to be in a very good mood, Liu Zifeng seized the opportunity to ask questions.

"Did Wang Liu's clan really use that black talisman to turn Wang Mang into a dried corpse?"

This question also aroused Xiao Yichen's thoughts, and he looked down at the little man in his arms.

I saw Su Qingtian shake his head, and the two of them swept to Xiao Yichen's chin for a while.

She took out the black talisman she had been holding in her hand just now and handed it to Liu Zifeng, explaining slowly.

"The black rune is just a medium to take Wang Mang's life, and what turned him into a dry corpse is actually a wooden plaque engraved with the name of Cousin Nan."

"The wooden card was fed by Wang Mang with blood for seven seven and forty-nine days, which also means that his fate is connected to the wooden card."

"When he threw the wooden card into the Xiao Mansion and found Cousin Nan, all the longevity and fortune absorbed by the wooden card will be automatically transmitted to Wang Mang himself through the blood of Wang Mang in the wooden card."

Liu Zifeng nodded, the little girl explained very clearly, although he still couldn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods 100%, but there were traces of cause and effect in it.

"Lord Liu, you should remember that Wang Mang had a drink with his neighbor Old Man Tang last night."

"That's because he won a lot of money in the gambling house yesterday, and these fortunes are the result of stealing from Cousin Nan."

Liu Zifeng had a flash of inspiration, "You mean, there are gains and losses?" ”

Su Qingtian looked at the smart Liu Zifeng and smiled with satisfaction, and directly gave the result.

"Last night, the wooden plaque engraved with Cousin Nan's birthday was destroyed, which would lead to a spell backlash, and Wang Mang immediately realized that his life was short, so he went crazy and used his own blood to write Xiao characters in the house."

"But he is also a loyal pawn, and until his death he is trying to complete the tasks assigned to him by the people behind the scenes."

At the mention of King Jin, Xiao Yichen's face darkened.

This murder case has ended with Liu Zifeng, but it is the beginning of the real trouble for the Xiao family.

With the means of King Jin, Wang Mang will never be the only one to take the opportunity to murder the Xiao family in Fengcheng, but I don't know how many seemingly ordinary people in this city are waiting to kill everyone in their Xiao family.

"Because of the backlash, Wang Mang's Shouyuan was sucked clean by the wooden brand, and finally became a dry corpse."

Liu Zifeng followed Su Qingtian's words and gave the answer, but there was one thing he hadn't figured out.

"What about Wang Liu's black talisman?"

"The black charm can also be said to be a life talisman." Su Qingtian pointed to the black talisman in Liu Zifeng's hand, "It will take a total of three days for the wooden card to be reversed, which means that Wang Mang should have died after three days. ”

"But Wang Liu's black talisman hastened Wang Mang's death, allowing him to die at home this morning."

After this explanation, not only Liu Zifeng, but even Xiao Yichen's heart was shocked.

Fortunately, the little girl found the black charm, and let Wang Liushi confess smoothly through the black charm, otherwise I don't know when this bizarre case will be investigated, and I don't know how to write the final file, so that the case can be submitted to the criminal department for review.

Thinking that the little girl had helped him so much, Liu Zifeng hurriedly tore off the money bag on his waist and stuffed it into Su Qingtian's palm.

Su Qingtian picked up the money bag with both hands, secretly weighed the weight, and her eyes were fascinated.

Before she was replaced, she didn't care to accept such mundane things as gifts, but now she is too big, and she has to eat a lot of food to make up for her physical strength with a little spiritual power.

In order not to starve to death on the streets, and in order not to let the master see her jokes, of course she happily accepted it.

Xiao Yichen thought that the little girl would refuse to accept it, and was just about to open her mouth to persuade her subordinate Lord Liu for kindness, but saw Su Qingtian directly stuff the money bag into her sleeve.

The pink and tender little face smiled and blossomed, and the two small pear vortices were even more sweet.

With Su Qingtian's movements, Xiao Yichen's gaze fell on her light cuffs.

Seeing that she only took one meat bun to eat before, I thought that the official didn't take Liu Zifeng's words to heart, so he only bought two meat buns to send away, thinking that he would go out of the Wang family's courtyard and take the little girl to the market for a while.

But this girl, one will find a candied fruit, and the other will catch a peach cake, and the dare is hidden in this small sleeve.

It's just in the fluttering sleeves, how can it be so fitted?

After a while, the carriage returned to the Xiao Mansion, and after listening to Su Qingtian's explanation, Liu Zifeng was thinking about how to write this case file, so there was no problem for a while.

Xiao Yichen saw that Lord Liu was starting to grow again, so he instructed the groom to send Liu Zifeng back to the yamen, and he took Su Qingtian into the mansion.

As soon as he stepped through the dark red door, the old butler with sweat on his forehead greeted him.

"Little Master, I heard that there was a murder in Dongfang City, and Lord Liu personally came to take you to the scene of the crime?"

The old housekeeper is an old man left by Mr. Xiao's father, who has never married, and all his efforts are put on the children and grandchildren of the Xiao family.

"What happened? Why is the murder involved with my Xiao family? ”

Looking at the old housekeeper, Xiao Yichen said slowly in a light tone.

"There are a few Xiao characters at the scene of the crime, and Lord Liu just went through a process for me to go over and take a look, and there were no more complications."

"This case was solved by Lord Liu, and the murderer was punished on the spot, it's okay, and our Xiao family is fine."

Hearing Xiao Yichen's half-comforting words, the old housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief.

As soon as he lowered his head, the petite girl was looking at herself obediently, and the old housekeeper's face changed.

"Little master! In such a filthy place, how can you take the little lady with you! ”

"No, no, no, you guys are waiting here, I have to let my subordinates prepare and prepare to drive away bad luck for you!"

The old butler chattered as he instructed his subordinates to prepare braziers and grapefruit leaves.
