Song Liuming tightened his clothes, let Mei Ji pour a full wine, drank it in one gulp, sighed with a look, and told the truth of the matter.

The Zhu family is a scholarly family in Hangzhou, there are two Jinshi, who are officials in the court, are in high positions, and have a little influence in the Shilin, and there are thousands of acres of fertile land in the family, and hundreds of slaves, which can be regarded as a wealthy family.

Between wealthy families, there is naturally a marriage, and the marriage object of the Zhu family is the daughter of the Deng family, a member of the dynasty.

The Deng family is a local family, with a very large influence, and there are many children who are officials, it is a veritable family of eunuchs.

Who knew that just two months ago, the daughter of the Deng family died inexplicably at home, her head disappeared, and the marriage naturally failed, which caused a very big loss to the reputation of the two families, so they joined forces to put pressure on the government.

At the end, Song Liuming said: "It's a pity that Brother Zhu, he has a sad face all day long, and lives with wine." ”

"Nothing has progressed on this matter?"

Yi Fan is a little incredible, in the realm of Hangzhou, such a thing happened, and the bitter lord is still a local clan, with his power, it is impossible to make no progress.

Song Liuming hesitated and said: "There is a rumor that it was done by demons, but no one knows the actual situation." ”

"If you want me to see, it must be a demon doing evil, that person, there is an obvious demonic aura, indicating that there has been contact with monsters recently. Zhuge Liuyun sneered.

"Brother Zhuge must not say it elsewhere, otherwise it will cause big trouble. ”

Song Liuming was taken aback, and hurriedly stopped Zhuge Liuyun to continue, you must know that the Zhu family and the Deng family are big clans, and they pay the most attention to reputation, if they talk nonsense, they are afraid that they will cause trouble.

Yi Fan picked up the wine glass and bypassed the topic: "Let's not think about this matter, so as not to add to our troubles." Saying that, he asked Song Liuming: "Brother Song has been in Hangzhou for a few months, but he has been promoted in the examination?"

Song Liuming laughed, a little proud: "Why is it difficult to lift people with me? ”

"Then congratulations, if you win the lift, you can be called the master, and you will be called the master of Song. ”

Yi Fan joked and raised a glass to celebrate.

Time flies quickly, in the evening, the big ship sails to the shore, there is an inn not far away, Yi Fan and a few people got off the boat, and met in Hangzhou City after a few days, and then said goodbye.

After walking a short distance, the two suddenly stood still, and Yi Fan shouted: "Friend, follow us all the way so far, it's time to show up, right?"

It turned out that when they got off the boat, Yi Fan and Zhuge Liuyun felt that someone was following, and the two of them were bold and bold, and they were not afraid, and when they saw that the stalker did not appear, and there was no malicious intent, they did not break it.

But following all the way is boring, and it is simply to see who the stalker is and what the purpose is.

After a while, five or six people walked out of the corner next to them, the leader was actually a man surnamed Zhu who he saw during the day, and the rest were dressed as servants.

Yi Fan frowned: "This Zhu Gongzi, why did he follow him all the way?"

The man surnamed Zhu saw that the two of them were not timid, and knew that they must have held something, so he arched his hand and said: "In Xia Zhu Ziqiang, I have seen two Taoist leaders. ”

Zhuge Liuyun was impatient: "Say, what are we following us for." ”

Seeing that his tone was not good, the servant behind Zhu Ziqiang stepped forward angrily: "Presumptuous, dare to be rude to our son." ”

"Don't be rude to the two Taoist masters, and don't retreat?"

Zhu Ziqiang stopped the servant, scolded him, and then said apologetically: "I'm really sorry, the house slave is not sensible, I hope the two Taoist elders will forgive me." ”

Zhuge Liuyun snorted coldly and did not speak.

Yi Fan was not very happy, and said in a cold tone: "Master Zhu doesn't have to be polite, if there is nothing important, Poor Dao still has to find a place to rest, so don't pass by." ”

"Two Taoist leaders, and slow. ”

Zhu Ziqiang stopped the two, hesitated, and said: "Today on the boat, I heard that the Taoist chief said that there is a demonic aura on the lower body, and I am very puzzled in my heart, and I hope to tell you, I am grateful." ”

The family knows that since his fiancée died for no reason, he has not only been under tremendous pressure, but has even become the object of anger of the two families, thinking that he is unknown.

And this matter has spread all over Shilin and has become a joke of everyone, if he doesn't solve the case and find the murderer, he is afraid that his reputation will be lost.

Today, I was supposed to swim in the lake to relax, but I heard the Taoist say that he had a demonic aura on his body, which made his heart move, and there were some speculations, although these days the official sent to investigate the case, there were no big clues, but there were already rumors in the city, saying that it was done by monsters.

Don't believe all the rumors, but don't believe them.

In order to prevent the deception set up by Yi Fan and the others, he recruited six or seven strong servants and deliberately let the servants scold, just to test the details of the two, if they were charlatans, they would definitely show flaws.

Unexpectedly, the two of them did not change their faces, and they were even impatient, knowing that they were overjoyed to meet a real master, so they asked for advice.

Yi Fan saw his style, but he was reluctant to say, and said: "Zhu Gongzi don't believe in the wine, at that time, the two of them drank too much, and I hope to forgive me." ”

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to Zhu Ziqiang, and walked by, but Zhuge Liuyun snorted coldly: "Asking others to do things, but they look like they should be, no wonder they will be plotted by demons, they really deserve it." ”

Zhu Ziqiang's face changed, he held down the angry servant, looked at Yi Fan's back as they left, muttered, and said, "You inquire about the residence of the two Taoist leaders, and then come back to report." ”

Afraid that the servant would be reckless, he said: "Don't bump into the two Taoist masters, just inquire about the news." ”

And here, Yi Fan smiled: "Rich children, I can't look down on us mountain and wild people, but I can understand, Brother Zhuge should not be angry." ”

Zhuge Liuyun waved his hand and said disapprerovingly: "I think that kid will definitely find us, wait, at the latest in the next few days." ”

The boundary of Hangzhou is so big, there must be masters, but the Zhu family and the Deng family are not qualified, and they are not nosy, even if they invite the so-called masters, they can't solve things for so long, which means that they are not high enough.

Although the two of them are not very high-ranking people, they are very confident in their own strength, and they will not gain nothing after all.

Yi Fan glanced at him: "What, Brother Zhuge wants to intervene in investigating this matter?"

Zhuge Liuyun patted the sword bag behind him: "Since you have encountered it, you naturally won't ignore it, and the demons harm people, so you should be killed." ”

"What Brother Zhuge said is that it should be so. ”

Yi Fan pondered for a moment and said, "I'm afraid this matter is not that simple." ”

"Whatever, trouble is coming, just cut it with a sword. Zhuge Liuyun laughed.

......

For a few days, Yi Fan and the others wandered around in Hangzhou, but they didn't see anyone from the Zhu family, and they were not in a hurry, so they simply let go of their mood and stopped thinking about it.

Finally, early one morning, someone came to look for him, and when he went out to look, he saw an old man in brocade clothes waiting outside with a few servants.

Yi Fan asked, "I don't know who my husband is?"

The old man arched his hand and said: "I am Zhu Zhen, the housekeeper of Zhu Mansion, and I have seen Yi Daochang." As he spoke, he smiled at Zhuge Liuyun who came out of the side room: "This is Zhuge Dao Chief, right? ”

Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, they didn't go around in circles and said, "My lord booked a banquet in Zuixiang Building, and I want to invite the two Taoist elders to appreciate their faces." ”
