Chapter 203: Murder

After Bai Suzhen heard Xiaoqing's words, she smiled slightly, picked up a stone from the grass on the side with her bare hands, and threw it into the water.

She smiled: "Qing'er, everyone is born different, just like the ripples in this water, swinging outward in circles, but despite this, none of them are the same, and this is the moving thing about life." ”

Turning his head to look at Xiaoqing beside him, he said, "Qing'er, you are lively and active, this is not a bad thing, it's just your personality." But your reckless style of acting should indeed be changed! Just like this time, if it weren't for Chen An's extraordinary cultivation, it is estimated that his life would be difficult to protect at this moment, and it will be up to you to see how you end up when the time comes. ”

Xiaoqing sat up from the bluestone slab, sighed lightly, and said, "I also know that I have a hot temperament, but I don't know why I ...... as soon as I met Qiao Chen'an I can't control my temper. ”

Bai Suzhen glanced at her, and suddenly smiled: "That's because Qing'er, you are angry with Tongchen from the heart!"

Xiao Qing suddenly sighed faintly when she heard this, and stopped talking, although she knew that she shouldn't be like this, Qiao Chen'an only had kindness to her, even if she had offended before, it had already been offset, but every time she saw the latter, she always felt unconvinced, this is the most fundamental reason!

Bai Suzhen said: "It's better than this, Qing'er, if you see Chen'an again next time, you must always remind yourself in your heart that he is your savior, so it will probably be much better!"

Xiaoqing nodded, and suddenly hugged Bai Suzhen at her side with both hands, leaned up, and said, "Qing'er listens to my sister!"

Bai Suzhen touched Xiaoqing's long hair, shook her head and smiled.

On the evening of the second day, Bai Suzhen was sitting quietly in the small pavilion, when suddenly a blue light flew quickly from outside the house, and turned into a blue shadow on the ground, Xiao Qing shouted anxiously: "Sister, sister, it's not good! Xu Xian has been arrested!"

Bai Suzhen got up from the pavilion when she heard this, grabbed Xiaoqing's shoulder with her jade hand, and frowned, "Qing'er, what did you say?"

Xiao Qing's face showed an anxious look, his tone was a little hurried, and he said, "I mean, Xu Xian was arrested!"

Bai Suzhen took a deep breath and said as calmly as possible: "What the hell is going on, Qing'er, tell me quickly!" Xu Xian is his benefactor, and he must not make a mistake.

Xiaoqing took two breaths before saying, "I don't know what's going on, but when I came back, I saw a large group of people gathered on the street, and some officials pressed Xu Xian into the mansion, and I heard that it seems that something killed someone!

Bai Suzhen's face showed a hint of solemnity, fortunately, after cultivating for thousands of years, her heart is much calmer than Xiaoqing, and she is not so prone to mood swings, she shook Xiaoqing's palm and said, "Qing'er, don't worry, let's go and see what happened!"

Xiaoqing nodded, and the two of them jumped, turning into two streamers of light and flying in the direction of the mansion.

Within a moment, he had already come to the front of the mansion, first found a hidden corner and landed on the ground, and then walked towards the yazhong, and saw a large group of people surrounding the mansion at a distance.

Bai Suzhen looked at Xiaoqing beside her, Xiaoqing understood, took a few steps forward, and asked a farmer-like person beside her, "This big brother, I don't know what happened to the Yamen?"

The farmer glanced back at Xiaoqing and said, "It's not that someone died, Xu Xianggong was arrested!"

Xiao Qingxiu frowned and asked, "What the hell is going on, can you tell me about it?"

The farmer said: "I don't know very well, it seems that Xu Xianggong took the wrong medicine and harmed people's lives!"

Xiao Qing thanked him and returned to Bai Suzhen, who heard the conversation between the two in his ears, his face was a little solemn, and said, "Qing'er, let's go inside and have a look!"

Xiao Qing nodded, and saw that a large number of people in front of him were crowded together, and it was difficult to move forward, so he pointed a little and used a little mana, and the crowd seemed to be squeezed vigorously, and involuntarily separated to both sides, and the two people finally came to the outside of the mansion hall.

Looking in, I saw Xu Xian kneeling under the hall at a glance, and beside him was a young woman, with two rows of officials lined up on both sides of the yamen, and Gu Yangao, the prefect of Hangzhou, sitting on the table.

I heard the woman crying: "The prefect must be the master of the slave family! My family official is already sick in bed, and he has been taking medicine in Qingyutang, and his physical condition is gradually improving. But when I came home after shopping today, I found that my family was ...... He's out of gas!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pointed to Xu Xian at his side, crying and saying, "The medicine that my family officials have taken in the past few days has been taken from this Xu Xian, and he must have harmed my family officials!"

Xu Xian's body trembled when he heard the woman's words, lowered his body, and said, "The villain is absolutely harmless, and I hope the adults will see it!"

Gu Yan looked at Xu Xian in the hall, with a bit of helplessness in his eyes, he originally didn't plan to recognize this poor boy as a son-in-law, he planned to find another good family for his daughter, but because he was instructed by the Bodhisattva halfway, he planned to accept Xu Xian as a son-in-law.

But what he never expected was that not a few days after this incident, such a thing happened, and his prospective son-in-law had such a murder case, so how good he was, it was a headache.

It's just a headache, but the case is still being heard, Gu Yan glanced left and right, and said, "What's the matter?"

As soon as the voice fell, a middle-aged man came to the lobby with a package in his hand, knelt on the ground, and said, "I have seen the prefect in Feng Er." ”

Gu Yan asked, "Feng Er, can you find out the cause of Li's death?"

Feng Er said respectfully: "Back to the prefect, the younger one already knows the cause of Li's death, due to physical reasons, he originally had a kind of yin and cold disease, and he needed medicinal materials to replenish yang and qi, but there was a mistake in the recent medication. ”

As he spoke, he opened the package in his hand, revealing the many medicinal materials wrapped in it, Feng Er took out a medicinal herb similar to the rhizome of a certain plant from it, and said: "My lord, please see, this medicinal herb is called Bailuo Xiang, it is the rhizome of Bailuo grass, it is a tonic medicine, and it is very similar to the appearance of another medicinal herb, Lan Shenmu, if you don't distinguish it carefully, it is easy to confuse the two." ”

"Lan Shen Mu is a medicine that nourishes yang and invigorates qi, while Bailuo Xiang is a thing that nourishes yin and is deficient, the two medicinal properties are just the opposite, Li is sick because of body yin, and then taking a large amount of Bailuo Xiang, it will aggravate the condition, and even die. ”

In the hall, the woman cried again after hearing Feng Er's words, Xu Xian suddenly remembered that when he was making medicine that day, his mind was full of the prefect's choice of son-in-law, and he was very likely to be rejected from his wife, and he felt lost, as if he really confused these two medicines.

Gu Yan listened to the words, his brows couldn't help frowning deeply, if this is the case, then Xu Xian's crime of harming people's lives will be great, if he is just an ordinary people, it is the so-called killing to pay for life, debt repayment, this is a matter of course, just sentence a death sentence, and ask for beheading after the autumn.

But this Xu Xian is the person his daughter loves and likes, but it makes it a little difficult for him to do.

"Suzhen, here. ”

Bai Suzhen, who was paying attention to the situation in Yazhong, suddenly heard someone calling to him softly, turned his head to look, but found Qiao Chenan walking through the crowd towards him.

couldn't help but take a step forward and asked, "Chen'an, why are you here?"

Xiao Qing, who was beside Bai Suzhen, saw Qiao Chen'an, and her eyes were a little evasive, but thinking of the previous agreement with her sister, she forcibly endured the unnatural feeling in her heart, and said in a somewhat stiff tone: "Qiao Xianggong!"

This time, it was Qiao Chen'an's turn to be surprised, he had known Xiaoqing for so long, he had never seen her so honest as she was at this moment, and when he met in the past, he didn't roll his eyes without saying a word, otherwise he was a "surnamed Qiao", "stinky scholar" called, where did he call himself "Qiao Xianggong" once?

couldn't help but look at her, and said with a smile: "Xiaoqing, you are also here!"

Xiao Qing nodded slightly, then looked up at Qiao Chen'an, and found that he was looking at him with a smile, and the feeling of resistance to him in his heart seemed to have gone a little.

Qiao Chen'an glanced at Xu Xian, who was kneeling under the hall, and then looked at Bai Suzhen and said, "Hanwen has such a big thing, how can I not come?"

Bai Suzhen sighed, a few sorrowful expressions appeared on her face, and said: "Who would have thought that such a thing would happen, a big case of human life, but it is not so easy to deal with." Who would have thought that her benefactor's reincarnation would go through so many twists and turns? She was a little grateful to Qiao Chen'an in her heart, if the latter hadn't told him that Xu Xian was her benefactor, she wouldn't have known how long she would have been looking for West Lake.

It's just that there is still a question in her heart that she doesn't understand, even she doesn't know who the benefactor is, why is Qiao Chenan so sure?

Qiao Chenan said: "It can only depend on how the prefect convicts, and then we will find a way." Bai Suzhen nodded when she heard this, even if Xu Xian was sentenced to death, with her and Qiao Chen here, she would never let Xu Xian lose her life.

After an interrogation, it took more than half an hour, but in the end, Xu Xian's crime was not determined, but the case was still unclear and needed to be discussed, so he withdrew from the court.

Everyone dispersed, Qiao Chen'an and Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing and the two walked on the street, and there were pedestrians greeting him from time to time on the road, Qiao Chen'an nodded in response, with his reputation and status in Hangzhou today, it can be said that everyone knows the eighty-year-old, from the young to the child.

After seeing the two women beside him, many people showed surprise and envy in their eyes, and secretly said that Qiao Xianggong was really a great blessing, but he couldn't envy it.

When approaching the West Lake, Bai Suzhen said, "Chen'an, do you want to go to the house to sit down?"

Qiao Chenan pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "It's okay!"

When I arrived at Baifu, the scene in front of me remained the same, it was still a clear water curtain, like a heavenly palace, although the two of them helped Xu Xian a little, but at this time, the result of the case was to be discussed, and there was no need to worry.

Qiao Chenan said: "Suzhen, there is something I have been thinking about for a long time, and I still need your help." ”

Bai Suzhen smiled: "What's the matter, just say it." ”

Qiao Chen'an got up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, and said with a smile: "I once got a gift of a technique, and when I practiced, I needed to go to the extreme heaven and use the Yunying Gang sand in the Five Elements True Sand, but with my current cultivation, it is difficult to reach the extreme sky, and I can't resist the violent wind turbulence, so I ......"

"So you want me to help, to help you go to the heavens?" Bai Suzhen continued with his words.

Qiao Chenan was slightly stunned, then nodded, and said with a smile: "You are right." ”

Bai Suzhen smiled: "It's not a big problem. In fact, with her temperament, it stands to reason that she should not be so deeply involved with a man, but after all, Qiao Chenan is the first man who has been entangled after she went down the mountain, and she once mistakenly thought that he was the reincarnation of her benefactor, and later confirmed that he was not the person she was looking for, but this cause and effect had been planted.

Although his current cultivation is not profound, and it is much worse than himself, but with his talent, he will be able to reach this state one day, even if he doesn't know each other, he must be called a Taoist friend.

And the most important thing is that she doesn't hate this person in her heart.

Bai Suzhen came to Qiao Chen'an's side, raised her head, looked at the endless, blue and bright sky, and said with a smile: "Wait a moment." "Unleash his mana, and the whole person rose to the heavens at an extremely fast speed, and soon disappeared without a trace.

"Sister!"

Qiao Chen stood by the pavilion, waiting for Bai Suzhen's return, when he suddenly heard Xiaoqing's shout from outside the pavilion, looked back, and saw Xiaoqing just stepping into the pavilion.

Xiao Qing saw that Bai Suzhen's forehead figure was missing from the pavilion, and couldn't help but wonder: "Where is my sister?" A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Qiao Chen'an.

Qiao Chenan quipped: "Why didn't you say that I ran away from Su Zhenqi this time?"

Xiao Qing's eyes were erected, and he immediately wanted to argue, but then he calmed down, his chest rose and fell slightly, and said: "This girl has a lot, don't care about you rude guy!" said and sat on the side of the table, where Bai Suzhen was before.

Qiao Chenan smiled slightly, sat down opposite her, Xiao Qing glanced at the corner of his eyes, and suddenly took out the umbrella that was leaning in the corner, and said, "Why haven't you taken this umbrella away yet?"

Qiao Chenan looked at the woman in front of him, Xiaoqing's appearance was undoubtedly extremely beautiful, especially her pair of beautiful eyebrows at the moment stood slightly oblique, there was a heroic spirit between the eyebrows that is rare for ordinary women, her eyes were bright, and the whole person was filled with a youthful and lively atmosphere, which was diametrically opposed to Bai Suzhen's quiet and elegant, and he was suddenly a little curious about how these two people were inseparable with their completely opposite personalities, and their feelings were so good.

smiled: "It's just for you!"

Xiao Qing didn't know what to think of when she heard this, her face suddenly turned a little red, and she said with disgust: "Who cares about your broken umbrella, such an umbrella girl can have as much as she wants! You should give it to your sister!" Leaned the umbrella on the table again.

When he spoke, his pink lips opened and closed up and down, and a row of shell teeth was like jade and dew, and a faint sweet smell rippled out and burrowed into Qiao Chen'an's nose.

Qiao Chen'an's eyes fell on Xiaoqing's lips, and he recalled in his mind that he had been poisoned by Xiaoqing and had been asleep for three days, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile, Xiaoqing's eyes looked puzzled, and said, "What are you smiling at?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I suddenly remembered the taste of snake venom!"
