Chapter 6: Abnormality

When he was young, he traveled all over the world, and saw all kinds of people, and his years of life in the sea also made him read countless people, Li Zhongken thought that he was well-informed, but he had never seen such a peculiar young man.

Obviously born extremely handsome, and his temperament is also outstanding, but he is like a beautiful jade dust, not only will not attract attention, but even make people subconsciously ignore it; obviously standing in front of him very truly, but he makes himself feel that he is far away from the end of the world, as if he is ...... He does not belong to this world, but is independent of the other ethereal part of the world; it seems that he is one with this world, blending into this world, and there is nowhere to find it; it seems to be beyond the world, free and indifferent, and seems to be in a high position, so that Li Zhongken's heart can't help but give birth to the meaning of looking up.

This kind of mysterious temperament with strange contradictions but no sense of incongruity makes Li Zhongken feel that the young man his son led into the county government is like a mystery, a mystery that no one can solve but attracts people who can't help but want to approach and solve. Therefore, this usually calm and rigid county magistrate actually stood in place for a while, staring at Xiao Feng for a long time.

Of course, Li Yun didn't know what his father was thinking now, he just looked at his eyes a little dull, and he felt a little embarrassed to stare at Xiao Feng's father. Xindao, your son, I also know that Brother Xiao Xian was born beautifully, but is it a bit too much for you to behave so obviously, father.

So he coughed a few times in embarrassment, and when he saw that his father didn't react at all, he pulled the corner of his clothes hard, and then pulled Li Zhong, who was a little distracted, to wake up.

Sighing slightly, Li Yun secretly glanced at Xiao Feng, and saw that Xiao Feng was still calm, so he was completely relieved.

Although Xiao Feng is young, he has tasted the hardships before, and Li Yun and Li Dagongzi will never regard Xiao Feng as a child.

His expression became quite serious, and Li Yun solemnly introduced to Li Zhongken: "Father, this is the friend that the child made when he traveled abroad, Xiao Feng. A few days ago, Brother Xiao Xian wrote that he happened to pass through Anyang County, and the child was very happy. Today, I specially invited him to walk around Anyang County to understand the customs and customs, so as to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. ”

Xiao Feng pursed his lips secretly, and came to the county government as much as the friendship of the landlord, and this heart is also a bit of a problem. But there was still a calm and indifferent look on his face, and he stepped forward to bow down and salute the juniors: "Little nephew Xiao Feng, I have seen Uncle Li." ”

He didn't call it a county order, so he naturally greeted his father as a friend of Li Yun. To others, this seems to be a bit of a clichΓ©, but in Xiao Feng's opinion, it is just politeness. Because a six-grade county order is really not worth Xiao Fengtao.

The local bureaucratic management system of the Xifeng Empire is divided into three levels: county, county, and city, of which there are ten counties, one hundred and eight counties, and thousands of cities. Therefore, the Liupin County Order is definitely not a petty official for ordinary people.

It's a pity that Xiao Feng is the owner of the Ethereal Building, and he controls the Ethereal Building that knows almost the entire rivers and lakes, and his status is absolutely difficult to despise. So even if the third-grade master is in person, it is not enough to see in front of Xiao Feng.

Li Zhongken was unaware of the problem in his son's words. It's not that he's careless to this extent, but because he thinks of another very real problem: the surname 'Xiao' seems to be a royal surname. Although he did not think that the people of the royal family would travel thousands of miles to come to this remote frontier, what if the young man in front of him was an exception? and judging from the temperament of this young man, if he was really a member of the royal family, his status would not be low. Thinking of this, Li Zhongken's face was a little strange.

Xiao Feng seemed to see Li Zhongken's thoughts, and explained with a light smile: "The 'Xiao' of the little nephew is not the 'Xiao' of the royal family, so the uncle doesn't have to take it too seriously. ”

was exposed to the thoughts in his heart, Li Zhongken was stunned, but did not show any embarrassed expression, and smiled indifferently: "I see, but my uncle is too careful." Hurry up, please come in!" When he said "please come in", he suddenly realized that this was the county office, and couldn't help but look up at Li Yun, and scolded: "Why did you bring people to the county office, so rude?"

Li Yun smiled, not knowing how to answer. He couldn't say he wanted to sneak in, but he didn't expect you to be here so late.

However, Xiao Feng looked calm, and once again came forward to relieve Li Yun, "This is to blame for the little nephew." Today, I heard Brother Li mention the Taoyuanju murder case, and I was very curious, so I took the liberty to come. In addition, although the little nephew has blunt qualifications, he thinks that he also has some ability, if the uncle does not give up, the little nephew is also willing to do his best for the uncle. ”

The county government's handling of the case is a confidential matter, and how can ordinary people make such a request in front of the county order. But fortunately, Xiao Feng is still young, even if Li Zhongken is unwilling in his heart, he will only think that it is a child messing around, and he will not care too much;

Benefiting others and self-interest, how good!

Of course, Li Yun didn't know the twists and turns in Xiao Feng's heart, as soon as he heard Xiao Feng's honest words, his face turned white, and he secretly said in his heart: "Death, death! Brother Xiao Xian, you said that you are smart, how can you be confused at this time? Isn't this a blatant scolding?"

Li Zhongken was also stunned, he didn't expect Xiao Feng to say so boldly and calmly. But when he saw Xiao Feng's beautiful but very immature smiling face, he suddenly 'realized'. What child wouldn't mess around? Wasn't he also a master who was not afraid of heaven and earth when he was the same age as the child in front of him? Moreover, this child was much more obedient and frank than he was at that time. Thinking of this, although he felt that Xiao Feng was a little nonsense, and his son had secretly revealed the murder case in Taoyuan to Xiao Feng, it was a bit too much, but he didn't have much anger in his heart, he just frowned, and turned around and gave Li Yun a violent "Nonsense!"

Li Yun screamed in pain, and when he saw Li Zhongken's eyes widened, he immediately covered his forehead, not daring to squeak anymore.

Xiao Feng watched from the side, not only did he not feel ignored, but he felt very interesting.

After teaching Li Yun a lesson, Li Zhongken had no intention of replying to Xiao Feng, and changed the topic lightly: "Listening to the tone of the virtuous nephew, you should have traveled abroad for a few years, right? How can your parents be so relieved?" Although Xiao Feng is young and acts very frankly, there is still a hint of temptation in the words of the county magistrate who acts cautiously.

Xiao Feng is such a character, how can he not hear the meaning. He quietly continued to smile gently, and replied politely: "My parents didn't want my little nephew to go out to travel, but unfortunately my little nephew was not sensible at the time, and my parents couldn't help it, so I also came with my little nephew." He scratched his head shamefully, very innocent, so shocked that Li Yun's eyes almost fell to the ground, "It's really ashamed to experience the thoughts of my parents after two years of travel." No, I'm ready to go back after this trip, and I can't let my temperament come in the future. ”

As if thinking of something, Xiao Feng moved his body slightly, let out Yu Yi, who had a very low sense of presence behind him, and introduced: "This is Uncle Yu, who was sent by the little nephew's parents who were not worried about the little nephew. Thanks to Uncle Yu's care along the way, otherwise the little nephew would have been really miserable. ”

Xiao Feng's words seemed to explain his situation and his situation at first glance, and in the end, he introduced his attendants without Li Zhongcheng asking questions, giving people a feeling of full integrity, which is very easy to make people feel good. But if you think about it carefully, you will find that Xiao Feng actually didn't say anything. The most important thing is that it also blocks a lot of topics for temptation, which is easy to make people think too much.

This is the case with Li Zhongken at present. He frowned slightly, and said secretly in his heart, listening to this young man's words, it seems that the origin is mysterious, isn't it those people in the sect?

In the secular realm, the three empires control almost all the geographical populations of the secular realm, but there are exceptions. For example, the forces of the rivers and lakes, and then for example, those mysterious sects whose origins are unknown and whose details are unknown.

The uncontrollable forces of the rivers and lakes are inevitable because of their special nature, while the mysterious sect is much more complicated. They are like a thorn in a person's heart, almost impossible to remove. If it is forced, it will only hurt the fundamentals, and even more so, it may shake the foundations of an empire. Moreover, those who came out of the sect were all strong in martial arts, and their attitudes were extremely arrogant, and it was extremely difficult to deal with.

Therefore, when dealing with the problems of these sect people, the officials can almost hide as much as they can, and those who can't hide can only consider themselves unlucky.

It seemed that in order to make Li Zhongken more sure of what he thought in his heart, Yu Yi just nodded indifferently, and he didn't even have the intention of introducing himself, and his attitude was very arrogant.

Li Yun was stunned when he heard it next to him.

Li Zhongken's heart sank suddenly. Where is this friend invited by his son into the house, obviously it is an ancestor. Even though he thought about it, he still had a warm look on his face, and he politely bowed his hand to Yu Yi: "Fortunately, I will be happy." ”

Yu Yi just didn't hear it, and didn't pay any attention to him, which made Li Zhongken quite embarrassed.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Xiao Feng hurriedly stepped forward and explained: "Uncle is not strange! Uncle Yu is this kind of character, not rude. ”

Li Zhongken smiled freely, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's okay." Since the virtuous nephew has come to my Anyang County, he can just return home, and there is no need to be restrained. Uncle still has something to do, so he won't accompany him, and can just mention it to Yun'er directly if he has something. As soon as the words fell, Li Zhongken strode out of the county office, and he didn't even have time to respond to Xiao Feng, it seemed that he was really in a hurry.

Xiao Feng watched Li Zhongken go away, and shook his head with a light smile. Although this is a decision not to contact yourself, but is it a bit rude to behave so obviously? Or is it that you are too young to think about these things at all?

Although Xiao Feng had asked to do his best before, in fact, Xiao Feng did not intend to act according to his words. Restrained, and easy to arouse suspicion, he is full of food. Therefore, in his conversation with Li Zhongjian, he revealed a lot of information that made Li Zhongken misunderstand, so that he did not even consider the possibility of his own request. Of course, there is another meaning to do this.

Li Zhong pleaded his sleeves and left, naturally he was not angry with Yiyi's attitude. The popularity of the dignified county commander has not reached this point, he is just suspicious and jealous.

Yu Yi obviously understood Xiao Feng's plan, so he cooperated with it seamlessly.

Looking back at Yu Yi, who was looking at him with a slightly worried face, Xiao Feng smiled at him and shook his head.

Only Li Yun really didn't hear anything, but was scared out of a cold sweat several times. Seeing his father leaving quickly with a bad face, Li Yun was puzzled. So he habitually shifted his gaze to Xiao Feng, ready to listen to his explanation.

But the moment he turned his head, he remembered a more serious problem than he solved his doubts - when he came, he promised Xiao Feng that at this point in time, his father would definitely not be in the county office. Coincidentally, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the county office, he bumped into his father before he entered the door - his eyes became dodgy again in an instant.

To make my father angry, at most I scolded two sentences, which made this little ancestor angry....... But the body and mind are exhausted, and the consequences are unimaginable!

Noticing Li Yun's abnormality, Xiao Feng smiled indifferently. In fact, he had already expected this.

If it is an ordinary homicide, it is normal for Li Zhongken to disperse on time. But there is a governor and several more murders to investigate, so it is strange that Li Zhongken does not work overtime. Only the hot-headed Li Yun and the eldest prince of Li would have such childish innocence.

Seeing Xiao Feng's indifferent appearance, Li Yun secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, and then asked heartlessly: "What's the matter with you today? Could it be that a serious illness burned out your brain?" In his opinion, Xiao Feng's words and deeds today are really a little out of proportion.

"Huh. Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly, "Don't be sorry for three days, you should be impressed." In the past six months, your brain hasn't grown much, and your guts have gained a lot of weight, it seems that the lesson from the last time was not enough for you to remember!"

Li Yun shuddered, and immediately sensed that his words were inappropriate, and hurriedly put on a smiling face, and said with a little flattery: "No, I mean what's wrong with my father today?

Xiao Feng's childish little face once again put on a bright smile, obviously he was just scaring Li Yun just now, "You'll understand later." ”

With such unfathomable words, Xiao Feng rarely said in front of Li Yun, and Li Yun couldn't help but be stunned, "What do you mean?"

Xiao Feng shook his head lightly, and his tone was teasing, "Don't mention me in front of your father in the future, otherwise I don't guarantee that your free life will last for a few days." ”

"What?" Li Yun was completely stunned.

Xiao Feng smiled, but he still didn't have half a meaning to explain, and changed the topic lightly: "It's important to get down to business, take me to see the deceased." ”

Li Yun was stunned again, then became excited, put the question full of questions just now, and replied repeatedly: "Okay!"

The back hall of the county government is always very dark and silent. Maybe it's because there are often corpses stagnating, no matter when, the back hall always gives people a faint sense of coldness, even if it is noon, it is a luxury to want to make the back hall clearer. And in this slightly dim evening, it is even more indescribably terrifying.

Bai Sensen's candle flickered faintly, and the slightly deformed corpse on the stone bed was illuminated, and the dim candlelight was reflected in the eyes of the man, and the scarred man's hideous face looked more and more hideous and terrifying. Even though he knew that there were two big living people standing beside him, Li Yun still couldn't help but have a fine layer of cold sweat on his back.

Sneaking a glance at Xiao Feng, Xiao Feng also happened to look at Li Yun, with an indifferent expression, "It's him?"

"Hmm!" Li Yun was slightly embarrassed, and gave Xiao Feng a thumbs up in admiration in his heart. Look at a thirteen-year-old doll who can do it so indifferently, and then look at yourself, an adult at the age of a weak crown...... Shame! Shame! Shame...... Why does it still feel like a cool breeze behind it?

Xiao Feng was naturally not bored enough to care about Li Yun's thoughts, and after receiving Li Yun's affirmative answer, he completely devoted his attention to the terrifying-looking corpse. He knew very well that after today's events, it would be impossible for him to come in and probe the corpse so easily in the future.

Minutes and seconds passed.

After about a quarter of an hour, Xiao Feng finally stopped the movement in his hand and looked at his hand with a look of disgust.

"How?" Seeing Xiao Feng turn around, Li Yun hurriedly stepped forward and asked a little nervously. He can't be nervous, after all, this case is not only the first thing he wants to do to show his father, but also his father's future. If even Xiao Feng was helpless, he could only go home and burn incense and worship the Buddha.

"Huh?" Xiao Feng frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking. Interrupted by Li Yun like this, he raised his head in a little surprise, and suddenly said with a smile: "I have a little clue." By the way, lend me something. ”

Li Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Xiao Feng's second half of the sentence, he was slightly surprised, and subconsciously asked, "What is it?"

Xiao Feng didn't answer this question, but very casually pulled out a silk silk with a very good texture from Li Yun's sleeve, and his movements were smooth and did not stagnate, as if he already knew that Li Yun had such a silk silk in his sleeve. Then it was crumpled into a ball under Li Yun's stunned gaze and stuffed directly into the deceased's mouth.

The deceased was already stiff, and it was reasonable to say that it would have been very difficult to stuff a silk silk into his mouth. But Li Yun felt that it was not very difficult for Xiao Feng to stuff the silk into his mouth just now, and it seemed that he ...... It's easy.

Could it be that everything that Brother Xiao Xian does is smooth and natural, so we ordinary people think that it should be taken for granted? Li Yun was thinking nonsense again.

But he soon lost his mind.

Because he suddenly realized one thing: just ...... The silk silk that Xiao Feng used just now was taken from himself. But how can you wear silk on yourself?

He was a little dumbfounded, and felt that his whole body was trembling, and the silk ...... Isn't that silk that I bought for fifty taels of silver......? He was about to go crazy, fifty taels of silver was wasted like this, and his beautiful woman smiled at the country? It turned out to be his own daydream!

"That's really the case!" Xiao Feng obviously didn't notice Li Yun's expression, frowned lightly and muttered to himself, holding the silk silk with one hand and stuffing it into Li Yun's sleeve absentmindedly, "Give it back to you, thank you." ”

Li Yun didn't have the joy of having something returned, but was really shocked, and hurriedly grabbed Xiao Feng's hand, with an expression on his face that was about to cry, "Little ancestor, I don't want it, I was wrong." ”

Xiao Feng was grabbed by his hand and snapped back to his senses, "Hmm, why? It seems to be very ...... Expensive. He was thinking about things just now, and he didn't notice that the silk had been made out of shape by himself, and when he saw it, he was also startled, and immediately understood why Li Yun had such an expression.

"That...... Why don't I compensate you again?" After a moment of embarrassment, Xiao Feng raised his head and asked tentatively. He really didn't want to go.

β€œ....... No. After a moment of silence, Li Yun squeezed out two words from between his teeth in distress. Xiao Feng can't take advantage of it, this is the truth he kept in mind when he traveled with Xiao Feng, otherwise he must be the one who regrets it in the end.

Xiao Feng looked up at Li Yun very seriously but a little strangely, and nodded, "Okay!"

Li Yun scratched his head, unable to comprehend Xiao Feng's complicated eyes.

At this moment, he saw Xiao Feng turn his head, waved his hand at Yu Yi with a smile, and said childishly, "Uncle Yu, handkerchief." ”

And Yu Yi didn't know when there was an extra handkerchief in his hand that had just been soaked in water, and the texture of the workmanship was obviously better than that of Li Yun's silk just now, and he handed it to Xiao Feng respectfully, "Young Master, please clean your hands." ”

Li Yun instantly felt the urge to vomit blood.
