Yan Xiao's Strange Records

Just as the three of them were in an embarrassing situation and were at a stalemate, a yamen servant stepped forward to inform: "His Royal Highness, arrest Su, something happened in the front hall, the lord of the government office called you to go."

The three of them exchanged glances, and they were no longer deadlocked. Knowing the seriousness of the matter, they hurriedly followed the yamen servant to the front hall.

Before reaching the front hall, he saw a group of people, the front hall was surrounded by water, and it was as lively as a market. The lord of the government office saw the three people and hurriedly called them to go.

"Su Heng, take a quick look. This person was dumped in the wilderness. His complexion is blue and his figure is distorted. You can't find anything unusual."

Su Heng and the others stepped forward quickly. The man's lower body was surrounded by a white cloth, his face was bruised and purple, and he was lying on his back, his eyes were as big as copper bells, as if he saw something terrible before he died, and his eyeballs were about to burst. .

Qi Banxia almost cried out when she saw this scene, after all, it was the first time for her daughter's family to see such a scene, she felt uncomfortable many times, and was protected by Yi Xingyun behind her.Su Heng squatted on the ground and carefully observed the face of the corpse, speechless for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this man was overly frightened before he died, and his complexion was bruised and purple because of the attack of poison, and his appearance was haggard, which was not caused by human beings." Su Heng frowned and stood up to report.

"There is someone in the capital who is majesticly harming you. Su Heng, have you found out what kind of poison it is? Who did the harm, and what clues did he leave behind? The lord of the government hastily asked."

"My lord, I need to know this person's past to make a decision." Su Heng shook his head without any clue.

"Someone called Mr. Cai to come to the hall. He is an eyewitness." Master Fang led a trembling old man to the front hall after a while.

"Your Excellency, this person is Cai Lao Si, and he witnessed the death of A Niu." Master Fang drew a pen while replying.

"A Niu died miserably. I don't know what kind of evil he has committed. His mother was the only child, and this is a dead body in the wilderness." Cai Laosi cried for A Niu as soon as he came up.

"Tell me where you saw A Niu. Your Excellency is handling the case. You are delayed. There are more dead bodies in the wilderness." Master Fang reprimanded Cai Laosi in a low voice.

"A Niu was herding sheep on Huaishu Mountain, and he didn't come back at dusk, so his mother sent me to look for him, but he died beside Huaishu Pi, and all the sheep disappeared." Said Cai Laosi wiped his face. shed tears.

"But what else is there?" Su Heng asked carefully.

"When I found out, the locust tree was unusually quiet, and there were no insects chirping around, which is really strange." Cai Laosi thought for a long time.

"It seems to be caused by ghosts. This Niu was obviously sucked out of his energy, and the absence of insects was actually frightened by ghosts. Qi Banxia calmed down from the horror of seeing Ah Niu's corpse. Everyone listened to her words and looked forward to it. To her."

"Ghosts? Yanyin is the imperial capital of the Qi Kingdom, and there are three immortals looking after it. How can there be ghosts who are so bold and reckless, come and go at will?"

Master Fu Ya questioned, Yan Yin has never had ghosts in the past decades, and even under the care of a fairy, no matter how powerful a fairy is, he dare not approach him.

Qi Banxia was sent to Yunlai to practice by King Qi since he was a child. Yunlai is surrounded by auspicious clouds all the year round, and the golden light is a place for seeking immortality. Nanke, the master of Yunlai, is said to be the disciple of the Buddha Immortal Lord and has the power to reach the sky. Skills, never ask about the origin of the disciples, they are all based on each person's aptitude, Qi Banxia has been eccentric since childhood, although he was not favored by Nan Ke, but his junior brother Dongliu was born with a loose nature and took a fancy to such an eccentric Qi Pinellia, accepted as a disciple under his command, came out of the mountain at the age of three years.

But the princess has been used to being loose since she was a child, and she didn't want to stay in the lifeless harem all day long, so she brought her wife to the government office to continue looking for a job.

"I have practiced in Yunlai for a thousand days and I have seen many ghosts and ghosts. Although the imperial capital is protected by the three immortals, even if the three immortals have boundless magic power, it is impossible to observe them day and night. Moreover, Yunlai has been particularly turbulent these past few days. There must be ghosts and ghosts." Qi Qi As soon as Ban Xia said that Lord Fuya turned pale, he hurriedly hid behind Su Heng, terrified.

"What should we do? My lord is making people panic now, and ghosts can also take human form to lurk among the people. Now the scope of the search has increased." Master Fang asked anxiously.

"What the princess said is only one-sided words. You don't need to panic, you just need to wait and see what happens. It is enough to strengthen the city gate investigation. The government is the lifeline of the capital, and the important task of defending the capital lies with the master." Yi Xingyun Come forward to comfort the crowd, Qi Banxia is dissatisfied with intimidating others like this.

The lord of the Fuya had no choice but to give up, explained Su Heng's related matters, and left in a hurry.Close the door tightly, as if afraid of ghosts and ghosts taking him captive.Su Hengyi Xingyun looked at each other in blank dismay.

"You're too timid. There's nothing to be afraid of. Master, follow me to Huaishupo and I'll investigate the scene." Qi Banxia glanced at the figure of Lord Fuya who left in the desert, secretly amused.

Yi Xingyun was about to ask Su Heng to accompany him, but found that Su Heng was waiting for them at the door with his arms folded and his sword in his hands. Needless to say, the three of them went to Huaishupo together.

Huaishupo has returned to its original hustle and bustle. Insects and birds are singing continuously. The setting sun hangs in the air like blood, dyeing large clouds red, and the shade of trees is mottled on the road.

Su Heng squatted on the ground to check the marks on the road, while Yi Xingyun and Qi Banxia stood aside.

"Look at these footprints, there are three people, and they are of different shades. There are two light footprints, walking like flying, and Ah Niu is tall and strenuous to walk, so the imprints are deeper. These two light footprints disappeared after ten meters, as if they disappeared out of thin air. Really suspicious." Su Heng lowered his head to check the softness of the soil, and shook his head, puzzled.

"I've already said that you're a ghost. You're Yumu's brain is not clear, so forget it." Qi Banxia complained, whipping the grass casually with a whip, as if to vent her dissatisfaction.

"You don't talk about strange powers and minds. Spirits and monsters are rare. Princess, don't insist on things that cannot be determined." Su Heng said coldly.

"You are the boss, you have the final say, how do you go about investigating?" Qi Banxia spread his hands, looking optimistic.

"Stop arguing, I think this matter is too strange, the perpetrator cannot be identified, and we cannot judge whether it is really a kind of ghost as the princess said, or whether it is artificial, using some kind of blindfold to arrest Ah The bull is tossing like that, we might as well wait and see what happens, and see if that person makes the next move." Yi Xingyun smoothed things over as the scene became more and more abrupt.

Su Heng heard this, looked at Yi Xingyun and said with a sneer, "Teacher Yi is indeed a literati. If you handle cases like you, I'm afraid that those villains will be allowed to commit crimes and slaughter people wantonly. What's the use of arresting us quickly?"

Su Heng thinks that Yi Xingyun is a princess who reads with him, and he is only a literati. He only knows how to do things, but he is really afraid of words.

Yi Xingyun heard that, being ridiculed by Su Heng so much, his cheeks were flushed, and he lowered his head in shame. He didn't know much about handling the case. He only tried to persuade Su Heng to make peace when he saw that Su Heng was arguing with the princess and had no clue for a while. He was considered timid and fearful by Su Heng.

Qi Banxia looked at Su Heng more and more disliked, she is a princess, she was loved by others since she was a child, so she has an arrogant and self-willed personality, and Su Heng is blatantly provoking herself, but her wife is also implicated.

Qi Banxia glanced at Su Heng unhappily, and said angrily: "I don't want to handle the case with this elm lump, I'll go to my brother, master, I'll go back to the government office later." After saying that, he waved his nine-section whip, Hanging on the treetops and flying away.

Yi Xingyun looked at Qi Banxia's figure, gradually going away, and said to Su Heng with a wry smile: "Brother Su, don't mind, the princess is loose by nature, and her words often conflict, but there is no malice, please forgive me."

"Hmph, I don't know as much as her." Su Heng didn't speak anymore, and got up to survey the terrain further away. Yi Xingyun didn't dare to say too much, and followed Su Heng carefully, for fear of making him angry again. .

The setting sun has completely set, leaving only a smear of blood-colored clouds in the sky, and a round of crescent moon swaying over the tip, shining the cold moonlight, Yi Xingyun vaguely caught a glimpse of a person, his whole body was shrouded in the cold moonlight, dressed in rags , standing on the edge of the cliff and talking to himself.

"Su Heng, look at that person? Could it be that he is going to commit suicide?" Yi Xingyun hurried forward and gave that person a hand.

The man was like a dementia, with sunken cheeks and dull eyes, and Yi Xingyun dragged him away from the cliff, still muttering to himself.

"Brother, it's getting late, why is he wandering alone on the cliff? What if he accidentally slips and falls."

Yi Xingyun kindly reminded him that the man still ignored him like a puppet.Muttered in his mouth: "Qingfeng Wu Qingfeng..."

"What did he say? Is he a fool?" Su Heng looked at Yi Xingyun, and the two looked at each other.

"I don't think so. Although he is dressed poorly, there is some light in his eyes. Let's take him back to the government office. It's getting late today, and he is wandering alone on this cliff, fearing that something bad will happen to him." Yi Xingyun looked expectantly. Looking at Su Heng's cold eyes.

"Okay then, bring this person back to the government office and see if he can be cured." Su Heng looked at Yi Xingyun's hopeful eyes, and immediately agreed.

Suddenly, I feel that Yi Xingyun is very different from when he was a child. He is thoughtful, kind and considerate to others. Maybe he is too guarded and misunderstood him.

Suddenly meeting Yi Xingyun's clear eyes, he felt that he was extremely pitiful, and his heart shook slightly. Su Heng squeezed his saber tightly and shook his head quickly.

"What's the matter with you? Let's go back quickly, it's not easy to travel at night." Yi Xingyun had already comforted the demented man, and looked at Su Heng's unpredictable eyes, and couldn't help being a little puzzled.

"It's okay, let's go on our way." The warmth in his heart turned into a few cold words on his lips, Su Heng tried his best to conceal his softening attitude towards Yi Xingyun.

Back at the government office, Qi Banxia went out to vent his anger. The conflict with Su Heng, who was originally a child, was soon forgotten.With her eyes wide open, she walked back and forth beside the demented man with her waist down.

"Who is he? You investigated the case and brought back a lunatic." Qi Banxia looked at the demented man with a puzzled expression.

"His name is Yu Jing, and he stayed overnight to study in Tai Teng Temple. He suddenly disappeared a few days ago. He was found by Su Heng and I near the cliff of Huaishupo yesterday. I think it is no coincidence that this person must be a key person." Yi Xingyun explained. road.

"Wait, what did he say? How can you say those few words?" Qi Banxia listened closely to Yu Jing's words.

"Qingfeng, Wu Qingfeng should be a person's name, but I went to Wujia Village and there was no such person." Su Heng said coldly.

When Qi Banxia heard the words, he rested his chin and pondered: "Then could this person be his enemy? He never forgets revenge, so he is crazy about it?"

"Pfft." Su Heng almost laughed out loud.This Qi Banxia is really a treasure, and his reasoning is different from ordinary people.

Seeing Su Heng laughing at her, Qi Banxia glared at her and clenched the soft whip around her waist. It seemed that sooner or later he would have a fight with Su Heng. This kid confronted him many times and insisted on letting him see his color .

Yi Xingyun looked at the menacing two men, as if the flames of war were about to ignite again, coughed twice, and broke the embarrassment: "Although this person is down and out, he has peach blossoms on his face. When he mentions that Qingfeng's cheeks are red, he must be yearning for him." People, enemies and the like can be overthrown."

"So it seems that this Wu Qingfeng is the key person, but this Yu Jing is crazy and can't ask anything, what should I do?"

Su Heng saw that Yu Jing had nothing to do, but fortunately, things had some clues.But if you think about it carefully, Aniu, Huaishupo, Yu Jing, and Qingfeng (unknown person) seem to have nothing to do with each other, and the case suddenly fell into a dilemma.
