Seven people had to sit and eat together, chattering and chattering for a while.

Shen Su held the wine glass and looked at the playful girls with a smile on her face, while Qi Chuxiao sat beside him, she really didn't drink a drop.

An hour later, everyone finally finished eating, and the maids finished their dishes and replaced them with fruits and hot tea.

Shen Su took a peach, broke half of it and handed it to Qi Chuxiao.

"Since you don't drink, let's eat a peach head office."

Qi Chuxiao took it and ate it in two or three bites.

He said vaguely: "Eat and drink, you will enjoy it."

Shen Su pursed her lips and smiled, looked at the half peach in her hand, and immediately chewed it carefully.

"Life is short, enjoy yourself when you can, why bother to look for troubles, well, this peach is pretty good."

Qi Chuxiao rolled his eyes at him and said: "Although you often say nonsense, occasionally you have some truths, but everyone wants to have fun, how many people are really carefree?"

Shen Su swallowed the peach, and said with a smile: "Most of the troubles in the world are because of a greedy word, greedy for fame, greedy for profit, greedy for power, greedy for power, greedy for power, greedy for power, and greedy for dissatisfaction. If you are dissatisfied, how can you be happy?" up?"

Qi Chuxiao couldn't help looking at Shen Su, she couldn't imagine that a businessman covered in money could have such a pattern.

Then he teased: "Not necessarily, if you are not greedy, why come to Yingzhou all the way."

Shen Su turned around immediately, and said to Qi Chuxiao with her fan: "So you are waiting for me here, too, my son, I claim to be free and easy in the world of mortals, but in fact I am just an ordinary person among all living beings. , to make brother Chu Xiao laugh."

It's a rare time when this guy admits that he is a layman, Qi Chuxiao can't help being in a good mood.

"I hope you can straighten your conscience and stop harming the common people."

"That's hard to say. Businessmen are greedy for profit, but if you are willing to follow me all the time, maybe I can restrain myself a bit."

"I don't have time to worry about your messy things. As long as you don't worry about ghosts calling your door in the middle of the night, it's getting late. I have to go out to find someone tomorrow, so I won't chat with you."

Qi Chuxiao yawned and stood up.

Shen Su didn't bother him like before, cupped his hands and said, "Then I'm here to wish Brother Chu Xiao a sweet dream."

Qi Chuxiao returned to the room, but she didn't feel sleepy. Shen Su lived in the main room where she saw the female ghost. When she thought that the female ghost might sneak in through the passage, she couldn't rest in her heart.

But Shen Su is the master, he has no reason to ask for the main house, and this place is no better than other courtyards, the house is completely adequate, and he can't say if he wants to live with Shen Su, but he just can't let it go.

After a while, the last light went out.

Qi Chuxiao stood in the room for a while, then opened the window and jumped out.

At the same time, the ground of Shen Su's room suddenly opened a crack soundlessly, and a female ghost in a red robe with a red umbrella in her hand floated out slowly from inside.

In the side room, Shen Su seemed to have fallen asleep, breathing evenly and steadily, the female ghost listened attentively, then walked towards Shen Su's room.

Standing in front of the bed for a while, she suddenly stretched out her white hand and pointed it at Shen Su's chest.

At the very moment, a scabbard flew from the window and hit the female ghost's wrist. The door was kicked open with a bang, and Qi Chuxiao rushed in.

"Sneaky thing, where do you want to go?"

With a bang, several sword flowers burst out from the long sword, directly covering the vital parts of the female ghost's body.

Shen Su was also awakened and immediately sat up.

"What happened?"

He groped to turn on the lamp, and when he saw the female ghost fighting with Qi Chuxiao, he was startled and hugged Qi Chuxiao.

"Sure enough, there is a ghost, Brother Chu, kill her quickly."

"You go down first."

With a person on her back, Qi Chuxiao couldn't use it at all, and she was afraid of hurting Shen Su with too much force.

Shen Su hugged his neck tightly, refusing to let go no matter what.

Qi Chuxiao's sword stagnated, giving the female ghost an opportunity to take advantage of it. She slapped Xuxu, and the person flew out of the window by taking advantage of the momentum. Through the hole poked out in the scabbard, the female ghost saw the people in the room. Showing up, she was slightly surprised, and immediately twisted her waist, and the person had drifted away.

Qi Chuxiao couldn't help being anxious, pushed Shen Su away, and chased him out.

A moment later, another figure in red flew out of the room.

In the outskirts, two ghost figures in scarlet robes faced each other silently.

"Who the hell are you and why are you pretending to be me?"

"Who are you and why did you appear in Bai's house?"

The second person who spoke turned out to be a man's voice.

The female ghost snorted coldly and said: "You don't care, just get out of the way if you don't want to die."

The male ghost didn't move. He looked at the female ghost and suddenly said in a low voice: "The pear blossoms are pale white and the willows are deep green. When the catkins fly, the city is full of flowers. I'm melancholy about a snow plant in the east column, life is so clear."

The female ghost was shocked. "How can you read this poem?"

"Have you heard?" The male ghost took a step closer.

The female ghost flew back in panic, and said coldly: "Stop pretending to be a ghost, get out of here."

With a flick of his wrist, a puff of light yellow smoke flew out. The male ghost tried to chase after him again, but the female ghost had already disappeared.

The male ghost sighed, and slowly put down the red umbrella, revealing a graceful and handsome face.

It's ridiculous to pretend to be a ghost by yourself and dare to say that others are pretending to be ghosts!

Qi Chuxiao is also chasing all the way here, but he doesn't have the ability to recognize people by fragrance. He lost him after going out for a long time, and after going around, he came to the backyard of the state capital.

Recognizing this place, Qi Chuxiao couldn't help cursing secretly, just when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw the eaves move, and four or five people in black clothes and black armor floated down from the top of their heads and flew straight into the state capital.

To be able to touch Wuyimen.

It is not in vain to find them.

Immediately raised his breath lightly, and chased him in.

With two muffled groans, a pair of night watchmen had been knocked down, and Qi Chuxiao immediately understood their intention, which was to kill Zhu Zhen.

Immediately shouted: "There are assassins."

The man in black immediately turned around and started fighting with Qi Chuxiao.

After two days of recuperation, Qi Chuxiao's injuries have healed a lot, and it is no problem to deal with these little thieves. Seeing Qi Chuxiao's sword like lightning, Wu Yiwei immediately winked and took out the Thunder Fire Orb .

There was an explosion, and several people were gone.

Zhu Zhen was woken up early, and when he opened the door, he saw some people throwing things, so he quickly closed the door again, and waited until there was no movement in the yard before he dared to come out.

"Thanks to the strong man for saving me, I am very grateful."

Waiting for the servant to light up the lamp, he recognized that this person was the handsome young man who came here with Shen Su.

"It turned out to be Mr. Shen's friend, I'm sorry."

Qi Chuxiao cupped her hands. "Master Zhu, you're welcome, do you know why these people killed you?"

Zhu Zhen's face was still a little pale, he hesitated and said: "This official has just arrived, and I have not made enemies with anyone. If someone murders, I am afraid it will be related to the Zhou family."

He breathed a sigh of relief, and said again: "I heard that the Crown Prince has taken Qin Huai into custody for investigation. This official worships the Minister of the Ministry of War, and my connections are not as good as his."

Qin Huai was actually taken into custody?

The prince's hands and feet are fast enough.

"Do you suspect that Qin Huai did it?"

Zhu Zhenqiang squeezed out a smile.

"It's...it's hard for me to say."

Qi Chuxiao didn't know what Zhu Zhen was thinking, so she immediately took out her waist card. "Master Zhu, if you have any guesses, it's okay to say, I am here because I was ordered by the emperor to investigate this matter."

Seeing the waist plate of the six doors and the word Xiao engraved on it, Zhu Zhen stood up quickly.

"It turned out to be Mr. Qi, please forgive me for being a poor official."

As he was about to bow down, Qi Chuxiao immediately pulled him up.

"My lord, you don't need to be too polite. Please tell me about the situation in the capital."

Knowing that the other party is his own, Zhu Zhen's complexion improved a lot in an instant.

"Recently something happened in the capital. Qin Huai was arrested because of the tribute. The emperor was furious and sent him to prison. The crown prince was also read by King Jing, and now he is punished in the East Palace to think about his mistakes. The courtiers..."

Zhu Zhen spoke halfway, and then said with a dry smile: "That's all."

Qi Chuxiao frowned. Although the incident was serious, it seemed reasonable to him, and the crown prince and King Jing had always been at odds with each other, and they had never stopped fighting openly and secretly.

"Thank you, my lord, for telling me. Before you find out who Wu Yiwei is colluding with, you must be careful these few days. I have other things to arrest, so I won't stay any longer."

Zhu Zhen immediately stood up. "Master Qi can't... stay in the mansion for a few more days?"

Qi Chuxiao immediately saw what he was thinking. "My lord, you don't have to worry too much. If you need anything, you can find me in the old house of the Bai family."

Zhu Zhen let out an uneasy sigh, and then asked in a surprised voice: "Your Excellency, are you talking about the house I sold to Mr. Shen?"

Qi Chuxiao nodded.

Zhu Zhen immediately said: "Your Excellency, I'd better advise Mr. Shen to move out quickly. That house is unlucky, and I heard that this Bai family was also an official in the court."

"Official?"

Qi Chuxiao stopped immediately. "Master Zhu, what else do you know?"

24. If you want to check Bai's family, first check Shen

Zhu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said: "I also heard my late father mention this matter, saying that Lord Bai Chongyi was also an errand in the Six Doors, but he seemed to have offended someone, so he resigned and returned home. Years later, I heard that all eighteen members of the Bai family died, and this matter has become an unsolved case."

Qi Chuxiao immediately asked: "Didn't anyone be sent to track down the six doors?"

"I don't know." Zhu Zhen shook his head and said: "Anyway, this matter was settled later. I didn't know that this Bai family was Master Bai's family until I accidentally saw the name on the file a few days ago.
