Duvin was scared.

He sat in a chair and held a teacup in his hand, and he couldn't help but tremble.

This fear overcame the previous appearance of facing demons and monsters, giving people the feeling that he was on the verge of collapse, as if an important support in his heart collapsed in an instant, and the whole person could no longer find the meaning of life.

No, Li Xiuyuan could feel that such a description was not enough to describe his current inner mood.

"Drink a cup of hot tea, if there is anything to calm down, you must explain the cause of the matter clearly when you ask me for help, otherwise how can I save you? Of course, the premise is that this disaster is not caused by your own iniquity, if I hear that it is the disaster caused by your bullying of men and women, I will let it now

They'll throw you out of the game. ”

Li Xiuyuan said calmly, with a cold attitude, but he did not refuse his call for help.

Du Wen trembled and raised the teacup, put it to his mouth and was about to taste it, but the tea in the teacup spilled on his body with his palm shaking.

Seeing this, Li Xiuyuan already had a rough guess in his heart, and said slowly: "I opened your eyes for you when you left before, although it did not reach the point of the eye of heaven, but you can identify demons and monsters...... be

Demons?"

"I, I'm ......," Du Wen said with a pale expression with his lips moving slightly, "My father is a little abnormal. ”

"Your father, Du Ze, the squire of the Criminal Department?" Li Xiu said from afar.

He had already paid general attention to several servants of the six departments of the imperial court before, Fu Tianqiu of the Ministry of War, Du Ze of the Criminal Department, Zhang Yuan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials who had two stone lions at the door before and was knocked out by himself, and Lord Yang of Zhongshu Province, his son Yang Shang, who was beheaded by himself in Jinling City.

"He, he's not my father, he doesn't look human...... Definitely not a normal person. Du Wen said with fear on his face.

Li Xiuyuan took a sip of tea and said, "You have the ability to see through ghosts, so you went home and saw your father's abnormality?

"Eyes, his eyes are not human eyes, there are no pupils, they are pitch black...... Demon, he's a monster, it can't be my father, my father doesn't have that demeanor. Du Wendao, looking excited and scared.

There is an unimaginable consequence in his heart, that is, if the father in the family is fake, then where is his biological father?

Maybe you've been eaten by a monster.

That's where he really fears.

Demon?

Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved slightly, but he did not suspect that Du Wen's words were false.

It's about the seriousness of the matter.

The squire of the criminal department is a minister of the court who holds real power, and there is no way to murder the people and ghosts in this official position, even the spirits dare not offend, because the evil consequences brought by the murder are too great, just like Fu Tianqiu, he went to Jinling City and walked around and did not see any ghosts and gods to murder

He, it's just that his daughter Fu Qingfeng was entangled by a sick ghost when his official fortunes were in a downturn.

In the same way, if this Du Ze really has a problem, then it is not a person's problem.

But the entire capital, the entire imperial court, and the entire world of the Great Song Dynasty have problems.

"You're tired today, so rest first, and then come with me to your house in the evening to find out what's going on with your father." Li Xiu said from afar.

"Thank you, Master Li, you, I will never forget your kindness in my life. ”

Du Wen, a gentlemanly disciple, was grateful, and knelt down in front of him again with a puff, making such a big salute.

Li Xiuyuan said, "I have accepted your kneeling, so I will try my best to help you, but you must know that there are not many people in the capital who dare to stir up the muddy waters of your father, but I am one of them, you should be glad that your blessings are profound, don't look for flowers and willows in the future, wind and snow nights,

Lose your blessings, otherwise I saved you this time, and you will be unlucky next time. ”

Li Gongzi's words are taken to heart. Du Wen said sincerely.

His words are not false, this Du Wen is indeed very profound, from his background, it can be seen that he was born rich and rich, official luck, wealth luck, and there is no shortage of everything, which should be the reason for the accumulation of good fortune in his previous life.

It's a pity that Li Xiuyuan doesn't have this book of life and death in the capital in his hands, and he can't see Du Wen's past and present life.

A few hours later, night fell.

The lights are still bright in the capital, and this prosperous place is day and night.

At this moment, Li Xiuyuan had just finished meditating and walked out of the bedroom.

He was dressed in the same brocade robe as usual, and at the same time he was draped in a golden-red cloak like silk, which emitted a layer of light under the reflection of the lamplight, and a simple and atmospheric sword hung from his waist, like the style of the Spring and Autumn Period.

"The capital at night is always not peaceful, just like Jinling City, the Son of Heaven can't control this city?" Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky.

But the clouds closed the moon, and it was dark, and there was no starlight at all.

"Is Gongzi Li going out so late?"

Suddenly, Xiao Xie's figure floated out of the opposite room, and a pair of weak eyes showed a little worry.

"Yes, it's a bit urgent, did you disturb Miss Xiao Xie?" Li Xiu said from afar.

"I'm a ghost, how can this be disturbed, it's just that tonight I feel that the yin around me is very heavy, I'm afraid that some evil spirits will take the opportunity to come out, Li Gongzi better try not to go out at night." Xiao Xie said.

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "It's okay if I don't go out, but the people in the capital can't help but go out, they don't know that there will be evil spirits coming out tonight." ”

"Miss Xiao Xie left first, and I will take Miss Xie's reminder to heart just now. ”

Xiao Xie watched Li Xiu move away, and didn't say anything to stop him.

She's just a little female ghost, how can she stop such a character from doing something.

Soon, Li Xiuyuan went out.

He just took Han Meng and Wu Xiang as guards, and the others didn't bring them.

Because there is no need.

This time, he was trying to find out the identity of Du Ze, the servant of the Criminal Department, not to prevent the assassin's assassination.

"Du Wen, let's go, go to your mansion and have a look. Li Xiuyuan said.

Du Wen, who had been waiting anxiously in the lobby, saw Li Xiuyuan walking out, and immediately couldn't wait to greet him: "Li Gongzi, lead the way in front of you, this time there will be Lao Li Gongzi." ”

Li Xiuyuan smiled, "You put away that stubborn temperament when you asked me, if you can keep this attitude, I think you are still worthy of praise." ”

Du Wen thought a little when he heard this.

Soon, the four of them walked down the street directly towards the house of the squire of the criminal department.

The residences of the court officials were roughly all in one seat, not far apart.

When Li Xiuyuan passed by the mansion of the servant, he glanced at it casually and looked at the stone lion at the door of the servant.

The spirituality is not there, there are cracks.

At the same time, there was a gloomy atmosphere in the house, as if it was not popular enough, and it was a little eerie.

"It's a sign of decay. Li Xiuyuan said secretly in his heart.

But when a few people passed by the intersection in front, they suddenly heard the sound of gongs and drums, and at the same time, a cold wind kept howling, rolling up the dust and fallen leaves on the ground, making people almost unable to open their eyes.

"Why is it so windy at this intersection? ”

Du Wen covered his face with his sleeves and squinted his eyes, but saw a team of servants carrying a sedan chair blowing gongs and drums along the way, swaying towards here.

"Who appeared so late, blowing and beating along the way, and it wasn't too noisy?"

The group of servants carrying the sedan chair seemed to be walking slowly, but in fact they were very fast, and in a few breaths the servants came to Du Wen.

The servant's face was pale, and he was dressed in paper clothes, exuding a smell of ashes, and he walked vigorously as if he was about to bump into Duwen.

Li Xiuyuan's eyes condensed slightly, stretched out his hand and grabbed Du Wen from the middle of the road: "The ghost servant carries the sedan chair, this is a ghost and god traveling, what are you doing at the intersection, a mortal fetus like you will definitely be knocked away by such a collision, you can see the ghosts and gods now, can you distinguish this."

Don't you have the strength?"

What? That's a bunch of ghosts?

Du Wenleng paused, and then his frightened hands and feet were cold.

No wonder the servants were expressionless, their faces were either gray or black, and their complexions did not look like living people, but like dead people.

"In the land of the capital, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, dare to let the ghost servants travel with such fanfare, beating gongs and drums along the way, what kind of ghosts and gods have such a style, aren't you afraid of the monks you met on the way, and the Taoist took them all away?" Li Xiuyuan frowned.

He wanted to stop the ghost sedan chair to see what was going on, but he thought of the purpose of today's trip and gave up for the time being.

There are already a lot of ghosts and spirits in the capital, so let's deal with things one by one, and there is no need to make any more extraneous branches.

"Let's go," Li Xiuyuan shook his head and didn't bother anymore.

Du Wen said: "Li Gongzi, don't you know how to catch ghosts and eliminate demons?

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile: "There are ghosts and gods in the world, and there are spirits and spirits in the world, this is an unavoidable thing, there are many ghosts and gods in the world, and the evil ghosts in the underworld are endless, not all demons have to be removed, not all ghosts have to be caught, and others carry sedan chairs to travel, although they have done a little bit."

Isn't it too much to arrest them like this?"

"And even if you want to take care of it, now is the right time, do you think these little ghosts are more important than a criminal squire?"

Du Wen thought of his strange father and immediately became a spirit, so he didn't say anything more, but led the way in front with his head down.

But just as Li Xiuyuan turned to leave, the ghost sedan chair didn't know why, and then turned around halfway, and then followed from behind.

The strange music of blowing and blowing sounded, from far and near, Du Wen was terrified to listen to it, he looked back and said in horror: "Then, that group of ghosts has caught up." ”

Almost subconsciously, I want to run away.

Li Xiuyuan frowned, stopped in his footsteps, turned around and stood in the middle of the road to watch the ghost servant approach.
