Compared with Zhou's or Tian's houses, the magistrate's mansion is much more luxurious.

There is a vestibule, a stone hill in the courtyard, a main hall in the middle, and three two-story houses behind it. These buildings form a mouth. According to living customs, the main hall is generally used to entertain guests, and the side room is for relatives and children. The bedroom of the magistrate should be directly behind the main hall.

Although there are guards in the mansion to watch the night, it is no different from a fixed roadblock to the fox demon who can see at night. Quietly avoiding the eyes of the night watchman, the two easily climbed up to the second floor along the foot of the house, until they reached the magistrate's residence.

But the facts proved that they did not guess the wrong location—even at this point, there was still a large room in the building that was lit by candlelight, and if you put your ears on it, you could vaguely hear Hu Zhixian's anxious voice.

Those two idiots... why haven't they come back yet?

If they are caught by me, I will definitely pull out their skins!

Those two idiots mean the Du Brothers?

Xia Fan was slightly taken aback. Could it be that Hu Zhixian himself was the one who poisoned them to silence them?

But now is not the time to hesitate.

The key person in the whole incident is in the room at this moment. If they can win the other party, the balance of the seemingly swinging situation will tilt towards them!

Thinking of this, he winked at Li, then slammed his shoulders.

The door swung open.

In the spacious bedroom, there is only one person from Huzhi County—this is undoubtedly the most ideal situation among various scenarios.

Hu Huairen also turned around, with a look of surprise on his face.

But soon, his surprise dissipated.

You guys are really... lingering ghosts.

This reaction was completely unexpected by Xia Fan.

He originally thought that the other party would be frightened out of his wits, or immediately shouted for help, but he only needed to step forward and knock him out with a sword, and the next step was to find a place for careful interrogation.

This unexpected development also made Xia Fan full of doubts, and he didn't get close to him immediately.

Did the Privy Council ask you to come here? Hu Huairen sat back at the desk, leaning back on the bench and said, The Du Brothers were also killed by you, right?

That's right. Xia Fan simply followed his words, You should know what kind of crime you have committed. Maliciously murdering the people and using evil spirits to benefit yourself, it is not too much to punish the clan!

I admit it.

Since you have pleaded guilty, you should now explain the whole story in detail, including the origins of the victims and who gave them away behind the scenes, so that you may be able to save your family's lives—

Hahahaha, Hu Huairen suddenly laughed, I thought it was the Privy Council's attitude that had changed, but it doesn't seem to be the case!

Xia Fan frowned, What do you mean?

Although I have never actively dealt with those people, I also know their behavior style - at least in this matter, the Privy Council will never ask the reason, let alone save my family's life. If you just now Just do it, maybe I really believe it. Hu Huairen's voice became colder, Of course, even if the Privy Council wanted my life, I would not give it with both hands. As the saying goes, a dog will jump over the wall in a hurry. !

At the same time his words fell to the ground, Xia Fan suddenly felt a chill hit his face!

Be careful! Li said in surprise.

Everything happened too fast, and a figure rushed down from the roof and landed in front of Xia Fan.

There is also a fleeting knife light that appears.

It cut off against Xia Fan's shoulder, from his chest to his flank!

Blood flashes!

Xia Fan fell backwards, and then rolled several times on the ground, the spilled blood immediately became a red line.

And the opponent didn't give any chance to breathe, and chased after him, as if planning to make up for another fatal blow, but at this time Li had already blocked Xia Fan.

After receiving the opponent's straight stab with one palm, the fox demon forced the opponent to release the weapon with a horizontal shot with the other hand, and opened the distance with two back flips.

Li didn't care about his left hand that was cut by the dagger, and lifted Xia Fan up, trying to check his wound, but he stretched out his hand to hold him down.

Don't worry, I'm fine...

Xia Fan resisted the piercing pain and took a deep breath.

The straight slash just now came so suddenly that he didn't have time to make any defenses. It was Li's special training these days that saved his life—at the moment when the chill appeared, Xia Fan vaguely noticed a change in the air above his head. Instinctively, he fell backwards, which made the originally fatal knife only torn a cut nearly a palm long on his body.

I didn't expect an ordinary alchemist to escape this blow. It's beyond my expectation. The other party slowly stood up straight, allowing Xia Fan to see her whole picture clearly. I remember that you are not good at skills.

It was a beautiful woman.

She was wearing a slit short gown with a rather low neckline, so that half of her protruding chest could be seen. The thighs are completely exposed from the side, and the white socks are not put on until the feet. This outfit is fine for Xia Fan, but it is definitely extremely bold in this era.

I've seen her before. Li reminded in a low voice, Be careful, she can use Kanjutsu, and her technique is very different from that of an alchemist.

Well, Xia Fan pulled out a piece of first-aid gauze from the inner pocket of his robe, and tied his shoulders and chest tightly, while being surprised in his heart. Could it be that this person is the beautiful woman that Du Mingjin mentioned, who was sent here? The problem is that it is easy to find those with extraordinary looks, but those who are good at magic skills are a bit rare. What is the origin of it over there, that people who feel angry can give it away at will?

In addition, when this person was hiding on the roof, not only did he not notice her existence, but even Li also failed to discover her existence. It can only be said that either she is extremely good at concealment, or her strength is above the sixth-rank Taoism!

Qingzi, you will protect me, right? Hu Huairen said ferociously, Kill these two thieves!

The woman called Qingzi smiled charmingly, Of course, this is the mission of a concubine.

While talking, she took out two strangely shaped daggers from her bosom, threw them at Xia Fan and Li, then fell down on the ground and rushed towards them.

The wooden sword might be good for dealing with evil spirits, but it was immediately at a disadvantage when facing gold and iron objects. Even though the parrying blow bounced off the dagger, it also caused the sword body to snap.

Li took the lead to approach the woman, his hands turned into sharp claws, and supplemented by illusion to frighten her! In an instant, the magistrate's bedroom seemed to be a terrifying place filled with blood. Even Xia Fan felt his feet sink into the sticky flesh, making it impossible to move even an inch. Qingzi was the first to bear the brunt, with a frightened look on his face and stiff hands and feet, as if he had lost the ability to resist.

Li's hands pierced through the opponent mercilessly.

But the next moment, the enemy's figure turned into a cloud of smoke and dust.

What kind of technique is this?

While Xia Fan was still surprised, Qingzi who had reappeared had already rushed in front of him!

Sure enough, the opponent had judged that the fox demon was a difficult opponent, and decided to deal with the weaker self first. However, he had already been prepared to throw forward the copper wire pendant he had held in his hand in advance—after several actual battles, he had already figured out the characteristics of the thunder of the shock technique: after this technique is activated, if there is an introduction, it will be With the introduction as the center, a thunderbolt capable of tearing the air fell down. In other words, he doesn't need to wait for the enemy to get close before casting spells, as long as the copper wire falls under his gaze, he can trigger thunder from the air.

The power of the double technique is deadly enough!

However, the opponent did not pounce to the end, but stopped abruptly, his hands quickly crossed, and combined into a series of weird gestures.

That posture actually made Xia Fan feel a sense of deja vu.

There was no medicine, and no talisman. After the woman gestured a few times like this, a scorching flame spurted out from her mouth!
