"How could it be you?"

Li Xuan looked at the horse Chenggong who came in very strangely: "Didn't Lord Du Wei take a break? ”

Ma Chenggong's eyes were suddenly complicated, and he had an indescribable expression.

Jiang Hanyun explained the reason: "His wife has to be on duty these days, so he simply stayed in the Vermilion Bird Hall." ”

Li Xuan's eyes were immediately filled with sympathy for Ma Chenggong. As someone who has experienced the modern workplace, he understands the difficulties and pains of success.

At this time, Jiang Hanyun instructed again: "Lao Ma, you go outside to record a confession, and bring all the people who may be involved in the case in Aiwanlou back to Suzaku Hall." Li Xuan stayed behind to survey the scene and see if there were any other clues available. ”

Ma Chenggong couldn't help but twitch the corners of his lips again, he knew that Li Xuan's guy had obviously stepped on him. In Jiang Hanyun's eyes, this guy has clearly become the first choice for on-site investigation.

However, Ma Chenggong still agreed to his promise and walked out without dragging his feet at all. He is not a person who is jealous of the virtuous and capable, Li Xuan's skills and potential shown in the past ten days are very impressive to him, and he is very much looking forward to it.

The bloody case that made them raise their eyebrows two days ago was Li Xuan's handiwork.

In addition, because he was in a hurry to help just now, he made a big mistake, and he actually forgot to let his subordinates block the Aiwan Building outside.

Just think about it, you can know that there are two remnants of Maitreya hidden in this well, how can the people who love the evening building be uninvolved?

So he is also in a hurry to get out of the well at the moment, trying to make up for this omission.

Li Xuan surveyed the stone chamber very carefully, almost looking for it inch by inch. Jiang Hanyun also released her four-tailed spirit fox and searched the scene together.

But everything here was completely destroyed by the thunder and fire of her and the woman in black.

In the end, the two of them could only carry two criminals, as well as a group of suspects from Aiwanlou, back to Suzaku Hall. And as soon as they stepped into the main gate, they were summoned to the main hall of the Suzaku Hall, in front of the head of the demon ward.

"Maitreya's Sutra of Birth and the Sutra of the Birth of King Ming?"

The white-haired and blind old man in the hall fell into contemplation: "In other words, this blood sacrifice case." It is likely that Maitreya is manipulating behind the scenes?"

Jiang Hanyun knelt in the hall and replied in an uncertain tone: "What I saw at the scene is like this, and the truth still depends on the results of the interrogation." ”

At this time, the fire crow commanded the thundercloud to stride in and enter: "Lord Steward, the blood has been recruited, it is the remnant of the Maitreya Sect." ”

With a cold and dissatisfied gaze, he glanced at Jiang Hanyun and Li Xuan. Then he continued to report: "The person in charge is himself, it is said that he was preparing to sacrifice the drought in Nanjing City, but because he encountered Jiang Xiaowei, who should never have appeared in Nancheng at that time, he failed. ”

"It seems that he has sensed the two people captured by Ming Youdu. ”

The old man sneered, and he actually had the tendency to rush to the crown in anger: "In the city of Nanjing, they are so big and guts! Spread my order, from now on, this bloody town will be put into the lowest level of the town demon tower." ”

Jiang Hanyun's heart moved, and asked Lei Yun: "The corpse aura I sensed before and after is different, can he explain the endless blood?"

He couldn't tell. Lei Yun replied coldly: "However, in the blood sacrifice not long ago, they injected some blood of the snake into that evil corpse, so there may have been changes before and after. ”

Jiang Hanyun was stunned, and then he was relieved.

Li Xuan frowned slightly, he thought to himself that this was reasonable, and the blood sacrifice case and the blood boundless case could be said to have come to light so far.

But he still couldn't figure out how the female ghost in red behind him had anything to do with this case?

And what happened to the two women he saw in the underground river through the memory of the deceased?

"The case is finally closed, and all the murderers have been brought to justice, and they should be revealed. ”

The old man in the hall looked at the two people below with some amusement at this time: "It is said that the old man should also be happy, you are so diligent, you are even busy with official business during your rest time, and you are tirelessly pursuing the criminals." But the old man thinks that you young people really don't need to devote all your time and energy to official business. When you're busy, you should occasionally stop to take a look at the scenery along the way. Otherwise, at my age, sooner or later I will regret not being at the beginning. There are some views that can only be experienced at your age. ”

Li Xuan thought to himself that what the chief steward said was really very reasonable, and it would be good if he could give them another kind of grace to extend their vacation.

It's a pity that the white-haired old man just gave them another 'Zhonggong' and drove them out.

And Jiang Hanyun kindly reminded when they were separated: "You can just listen to what the chief manager said, don't take it seriously." This old man, don't look at his beautiful words, but he should work overtime or overtime, and I haven't seen him give extra leave, he can't wait for us to make cattle and horses for him in the yamen every day. So the rest of the time is a good rest, and then it's the Midyear Festival, and we have to be busy again. ”

Li Xuan thought to himself, isn't the bloody case already over? There will be a large number of spare people in the Vermilion Bird Hall. Do you still have to live a hard life of 007?

But when he recalled the memories of the original body, he found that during last year's Midyear Festival, the Six Dao Divisions were also busy for a while.

"The yin power of the Midyear Festival is extremely strong, the ghost door is wide open, and the ghosts travel at night. ”

Jiang Hanyun explained the reason: "There may not be an accident, but we can't prevent it." In the past, whenever there was a war, countless evil ghosts in the Midyear Festival were unrestrained, and I don't know how many people were killed. In recent years, the yin power has been extra strong, and Jinling City has also had frequent spiritual disasters in the past few days, so-"

Li Xuan had already understood, so they still had to go to the streets to inspect the quiet capital.

※※※※

Although Jiang Hanyun reminded Li Xuan to rest more, Li Xuan still got up early in the morning the next day.

This time, it was not for the practice of martial arts, but for the promise made to Lord Chenghuang the day before yesterday. He had to take the money he gave to the heavenly mastiff to repair his golden body, and to send warmth to the widows, widows and disabled people in the city.

Li Xuan couldn't handle this matter alone, so he asked the housekeeper to exchange some rice and sewn cloth for silver money early, and also prepared a team of housekeepers for him.

Sincerity Bo fully supported this, and after he heard about this two days ago, he was relieved, and specially instructed the housekeeper to let the house fully cooperate.

And Li Xuan's original plan was to build a shed at the four gates of Nanjing to serve porridge for a few days, but was stopped by his housekeeper.

"Useless second son, I don't think there will be many people to get the porridge. Now the poor beggars in the whole city have been fed by the purple butterfly demon girl, and they have money now when they lie down, where will they come to eat porridge? Not to mention that since the second son you want to help is a lonely, widowed, old and young, they have a hard time moving around, and they can't squeeze those evil beggars when they come. ”

Li Xuan thought to himself that it was right, let's send something to the door.

In the early morning, Li Xuan and his entourage pushed more than 20 cars, pulled a lot of things out of the house, and then began to give alms along the streets from Nancheng. The housekeeper instructed them to find the lieutenants of each street (the system of lijia, one hundred and ten households for one li), ask them to identify the dwellings of the widows and orphans, and then send rice and clothes to them.

Of course, Li Xuan couldn't go to the door one by one, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about it for five or six days. Therefore, most of them still have to be delivered by the family members of the Chengyi Bofu - these are carefully selected by the housekeeper, diligent and reliable, and clean hands and feet.

Li Xuan is only responsible for part of it, but the feedback of some of the subjects he sends warmth to is not very good, and it can even be said that he is disgusted.

"TUI! Just a little thing, and I'm embarrassed to give alms?"

"Put the stuff there, don't send it slowly. ”

"The material of this dress is average, a bit big. Is it only twenty pounds of rice? It's still brown rice—"

"Can't I give silver, what do I want these things for?"

They had just advanced the progress to Nancheng, and Li Xuan's personal chief was already angry with Li Dalu.

"These people, it's not good to give them things? Young master, you are just spending money to find anger. I knew that I could send the silver directly, which was simple and trouble-free. ”

Li Xuan glanced at him coldly, and then continued to walk forward: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up, keep up! Before noon, we have to finish this street." ”

He initially had an attitude to deal with this errand ordered by Lord Chenghuang. But after the family gave alms, his mood gradually became heavier and more serious.

At this time, although the Great Jin Dynasty gradually came out of the decay of the early years under the governance of the Ming monarch and virtuous ministers, the people at the bottom were still very poor. What's more, with the productivity of the ancient farming dynasty, even in the so-called prosperous era, the life of the people is not much better.

And those who have lost their support and cannot earn a living are living in hell.

They have suffered a lot of anger along the way, but those who speak coldly and dislike the West are only a minority after all. And the identity of these disabled widows is actually doubtful, and most of their family backgrounds are very good.

The vast majority of those who really deserve relief are those who know right from wrong, know what to do, and even have no gratitude to them.

Therefore, when encountering those whose families are extra poor, Li Xuan will also leave some more silver taels in addition to the original gift. There is not much money, but it can improve their situation a little.

In Li Xuan's previous life, his parents didn't care about anything except his daily living expenses. After college, I can only rely on myself and have to raise my own medicine expenses.

Li Xuan has tasted hardship, and he has also met many kind-hearted nobles. He is willing to lend a helping hand to others when he has spare time, and pass on the flame handed by the nobles to others.
