Chapter 23: The Real Murderer Behind the Scenes?
Chen Ke settled the mother and son of the Qin family, and then walked out, and he walked around the ruined temple.
"Little brother, what are you looking for?"
The gray-haired mouse came out of the ruined house next to it.
When Chen Ke saw the gray-haired mouse, he smiled and said, "Looking for you, my relatives and friends live in the palace, I want to ask you to help take care of one or two." ”
The gray-haired mouse smiled: "Don't worry, little brother, I will help you take care of them." ”
"Thank you." Chen Ke thanked him, and thought of one more thing, he asked, "Do you remember my teacher?" ”
"Of course I remember, what's wrong with the old immortal?"
The gray-haired mouse asked unexpectedly.
"You even remember my teacher!" Chen Ke was a little surprised.
The gray-haired mouse showed reverence: "I have always remembered the old immortal in my heart, and I never dared to forget him. ”
Chen Ke told Sister-in-law Qin, Long Tu and the others about forgetting Old Man Li, and the gray-haired mouse was also shocked, and said: "The immortal method, it really makes us look up to the mountains and admire them." ”
The gray-haired mouse was even more grateful to the old immortal for not erasing his memory and allowing him to remember the old immortal.
"It seems that the teacher has not erased everyone's memory, at least you still have the memory." Chen Ke said.
"I will pray for the old immortal every day, maybe my sincerity touched his old man." The gray-haired mouse said.
Chen Ke didn't know what the real reason was, but he didn't speculate too much.
After asking for the gray-haired mouse, Chen Ke turned around and went to a village farther away, bought some fruits and vegetables, and brought them back.
"Sister-in-law, let's make do with it first, and then buy some good dishes when I come back in the evening." Chen Ke said.
Sister-in-law Qin smiled: "No need to bother, let's just eat something." I'm not the wife of a wealthy family, I see a lot of wild vegetables on the roadside, I'll dig some later, and make you a wild vegetable soup at night. ”
Chen Ke was a little moved, he used to like wild vegetable soup, and his aunt often made it for him.
"But there is no pot." Chen Ke said.
Sister-in-law Qin smiled: "It's okay, I can build a stove by myself with mud and the fallen bricks and stones next to me, you can bring a pot at night." ”
When Chen Ke heard this, he responded.
"Dangdangdang."
Outside the courtyard, there was a knock on the door.
Chen Ke looked at them, it was a white-haired old man, Chen Ke had seen it, this was an old man who was turned into a gray-haired mouse.
"It's a friend of mine." Chen Ke said with a smile, and then invited the old man turned into a gray-haired mouse to walk in.
The old man smiled and greeted the Qin family and Xiaobao, "I am a friend of the little brother, I heard him say that his relatives are here, so I came to pay a visit." I live nearby, and I can hang a strip of cloth on the big willow tree next to me, and I will know. ”
When the Qin clan heard this, he immediately thanked him and said, "Thank you, old man." ”
The Qin family didn't take it seriously, such an old man, what could he help her, it was better not to disturb the old man's rest.
After the gray-haired mouse finished the introduction, he did not eat together at the invitation of the Qin family, and turned around and left the broken temple.
Chen Ke also said: "Sister-in-law, this deserted village is wild, and the nearest village is more than ten miles, if you really need help, do as he says, he can help." ”
Qin smiled and said, "Okay, I will." Also, it's useless for me to hold this silver tael, you need money in the house, so take it back first. ”
Chen Ke took back the silver tael, and he did need to spend money.
After eating, Chen Ke walked towards the city.
In the afternoon, the white guards came to find Chen Ke.
The white guard looked at the people around, pulled Chen Ke to a corner, and observed again, but there was still no one coming, and the white guard said: "Chen Ke, there is something I don't know if I should tell you or not." ”
Chen Ke said suspiciously: "What is it, so mysterious? ”
The white guard's eyes were very alert, and he was still observing his surroundings.
He said: "When I was investigating the cross tattoo case in the south, the county commanders of several counties near Shanyin County all knew about the cross tattoo, and the cross murderers also threatened several surrounding counties, and even took out a thing. ”
Chen Ke was slightly surprised in his heart and asked, "What is it?" ”
The white guard's face was ugly, and he said, "The token of the Ansheng Palace!" ”
Ansheng Palace, the protector of the Zhao State.
Chen Ke's face changed, and he said, "It's impossible, isn't An Shenggong a good person?" ”
Bai Escort said: "I have already made this matter clear, and my lord is also deeply troubled. My lord is secretly investigating, and I tell you about this in the hope that you can also investigate the Ansheng Palace in secret. ”
"Me?" When Chen Ke heard this, he said, "I don't have much contact with Ansheng Palace. ”
Bai Guard said: "It's because you don't have much contact with them that it's easy to check them." I and the adults have checked them before, they are cultivators, and they are very wary of me and the adults, so we can't check them out. You're an outsider, it's easier to get started! Moreover, if it is found that Zhao Jiachu is really colluded with them, then the real culprit who destroyed your village is not only Zhao Jiachu, but it is very likely that they are involved! ”
"Okay, I'll look it up!"
Chen Ke nodded, his eyes burned with anger, if there was really An Shenggong behind his back, Chen Ke would not let An Shenggong feel better.
He had already begun to cultivate immortals, and he didn't believe that after he cultivated the Immortal Dao, he wouldn't be able to deal with Ansheng Palace.
Even so, the people of Ansheng Palace are also cultivators!
Although Bai Guard's guess was a guess, Chen Ke felt that Bai Guard's guess should not be too different, and An Shenggong was the supporter behind the Qingdao Guard.
An immortal sect that was personally sealed by the dignified court actually colluded with the wicked people in the army to slaughter innocent people!
Such an act is simply an unforgivable sin!
The white guard said: "Don't startle the snakes for the time being, lest they poison you!" When my lord and I start to investigate Ansheng Palace on the bright side, you will be secretly probing. Let me tell you a few people, Sun Chuanlong, Chen Ying, Princess Jinde, Dali Siqing! ”
Chen Ke was slightly shocked and said, "They are all from Ansheng Palace? ”
Bai Huwei said: "Sun Chuanlong is a person from Ansheng Palace, and Dali Siqing is a guest of Ansheng Palace, but his identity is not simple. Although he is friends with adults, they don't know his true identity in Ansheng Palace. ”
"What about the other two?" Chen Ke was even more surprised in his heart, Chen Ying and Princess Jinde were also related to Ansheng Palace.
Bai Huwei said: "The concubine Chen Ying is good friends with Sun Chuanlong, and it is not clear whether he has joined the Ansheng Palace. Princess Jinde is a royal family, Ansheng Palace cultivated the prince as usual, and chose Princess Jinde, and the adults said that Princess Jinde was the goddaughter of the mysterious saint master of Ansheng Palace! ”
Chen Ke said with a coldness in his eyes: "Don't worry, whether they are goddaughters or daughters, I will carefully check it." ”
The white guard nodded and reminded: "Be careful, it doesn't matter if you can't find it, protecting your life is the most important thing!" ”
Chen Ke thought for a while and said, "Bai Guard, I have a Immortal Dao Cultivation Method here, you are too dangerous to face cultivators, it is better to take it over for enlightenment first, and see if you can increase your strength!" ”
After hearing this, Bai Guard shook his head and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness, but I, like you, have already been recognized by Dali Siqing as a natural spiritual vein blockage, and I have no chance with the Immortal Dao in this life." ”
"It's a pity that the teacher passed on my immortal method, and you can't cultivate." Chen Ke felt very pity.
If you can let Bai Guardian cultivate the supreme Dao method passed down by his teacher, maybe he can also help Bai Guardian cultivate to the Qi Refining Realm on 9981 days.
It's just a pity, Immortal Dao, it's really a narrow road.
After Bai Huwei comforted Chen Ke, he said goodbye to Chen Ke and left, but before leaving, he asked Chen Ke to see Xie Zhutou's family, Xie Zhutou's wife seemed to be about to give birth early.
Chen Ke simply went to ask for half a day off, he still had the silver taels given by the gray-haired mouse, and went to Yinzhuang to exchange for some broken silver, Chen Ke bought a few supplements that the mother needed, and took them to Xie Zhutou's house.
Xie Zhutou's family was very surprised that Chen Ke came to visit, they didn't know Chen Ke, but they heard Xie Zhutou talk about Chen Ke.
"Little Brother Chen, work hard in the future, there will be a good life." Xie Zhutou's old lady pulled Chen Ke's arm and said, "Also, when you see Da Lang, help me ask him when he will finish his errand, his daughter-in-law is about to give birth, so you can't wait for the child to land and come back." ”
Chen Ke lowered his head slightly, his eyes were astringent, he didn't dare to tell Xie Zhutou's mother that Xie Zhutou was no longer alive.
"Damn Zhao Jiachu, it's really a pity to die!"
Chen Ke was still angry in his heart.
"Auntie, don't worry, I'll tell Brother Xie when I see him." Chen Ke said.
Xie Zhutou's father smiled slightly: "Don't worry, your colleagues have come to ask if the situation at home is difficult every day these days, and we don't have any needs. Let him do a good job, don't miss the big things of adults! ”
The corners of Chen Ke's eyes were red, such a simple and kind family, no wonder they would cultivate a good person like Xie Zhutou.
"Yes, yes."
Chen Ke didn't stay long, and left another tael of silver, saying that he had originally borrowed it from Xie Zhutou. Then, Chen Ke left in a hurry.
He couldn't stay here long, and he couldn't hide his emotions.
Xie Zhutou doesn't give a damn!
"I hope An Shenggong is not the real murderer behind it, otherwise, I will fight for my life and make you pay the price!"
Chen Ke had a cold light in his eyes!
was no longer in the mood to be on duty, Chen Ke bought the pots and pans requested by Qin's sister-in-law, as well as a simple bamboo mat, rented a donkey cart, and swayed towards the outside of the city.
On the way back, Chen Ke met the gray-haired mouse again, and Chen Ke invited the gray-haired mouse to sit on the donkey cart together.
"Why are you here?" Chen Ke asked.
The gray-haired mouse said: "There are a few demons staring at you on the road, it's okay during the day, this evening, they will come out to find you trouble, I will go back with you, I can help you block them." ”
"Thank you! Brother Rat Spirit. Chen Ke smiled and patted the gray-haired mouse's cyan robe.
"Little brother, I'm a rat demon, not a rat spirit." The gray-haired mouse emphasizes his identity.
Sunset is the time of darkness.
In the woods on both sides of the road, the cold wind gusted.
"Little brother...... You've come to see people again. ”
