The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

Tian Wen was quite sure: "This is not the Stone of Life and Death."

"Do you know the stone of life and death?"

"I heard from Master." Tianwen nodded, "It is a huge white stone, about the height of a human being, two feet wide, hanging in the air, emitting a faint white light. Master said, this stone came from the sky, I don't know when it was called the "stone of life and death".

Because no one has seen the real stone of life and death, so it is not sure whether there is such a stone.It's not that small anyway. "

Xu Qingfeng subconsciously rubbed the white stone hanging around his neck, holding the small pendant in his hand, he could feel the cool air on the smooth surface.

"Is there anything special about the stone of life and death?"

"As the name suggests, it's a matter of life and death."

"What about it?"

"I don't know." Tian Wen shook his head.

Speechless, Xu Qingfeng asked again: "Do you know the origin of the Lingling Monument?"

"It was there when the temple was built." Tian Wen habitually touched the back of his head, "Where did you get this pendant?"

"Given it to me by my father on my tenth birthday."

"Has the lanyard on the top been changed?"

"Langling rope?" Xu Qingfeng really didn't pay much attention to it. He looked down and saw that there were simple snake knots and pineapple knots tied on the black hanging rope, which seemed to be nothing special.

But when Tian asked such a question, Xu Qingfeng realized that there was something unusual, "It seems that it has been hanging for eight years?"

Eight years later, the lanyard is still as bright as ever.Xu Qingfeng shook his head after speaking, "Maybe it was changed, but I didn't pay attention."

Tian asked thoughtfully.

Looking at Tian Wen's mature expression like a little adult, thinking that the style of the lanyard matched with the consecrated pendant in the temple also has something to say, so he asked Tian Wen: "What did you think of?"

Tianwen thought for a while, but seemed unsure, and finally shook his head without saying anything.

While Xu Qingfeng and Tianwen were chatting in Biejuju, Zhao Kexin came to the hospital again.

"My lord, I really didn't know what Mr. Xiaobie was about before..." Zhao Kexin carefully looked at Chen Ke's face, although he was embarrassed, he still took the initiative to explain.

"En." Chen Ke responded lightly.He didn't really care, he didn't have much interest in what Xiaobie was like.However, Chen Ke was a little curious about Xiaobie's identity.

"Since you're here, this king would like me to ask you, farewell this night, do you know his details."

"My lord, this night people call Jianghu "Bai Xiaosheng", and this is the first time this official has come into contact with him.Although Xiaobie is young and has a handsome appearance, he is indeed proficient in astronomy and geography, and he only became famous in the Jianghu last year.

Speaking of making Xiaobie famous, the prince may have heard of it. In the Xizhou corruption case last year, Dali Temple was able to solve the case thanks to Xiaobie's help. "

Regarding the Xizhou corruption case, Chen Ke thought about it for a while and got an impression.For Zhao Kexin, this happened a year ago. For Chen Ke, it was indeed an old case two years ago. Moreover, Chen Mao handled the matter from occurrence to conclusion, and Chen Ke didn't know much about it.

"In the case of Xizhou, I only heard that a person from the world came forward and provided important clues, which enabled Dali Temple to solve the case within ten days-it turned out to be Xiaofare."

"Lin Suxin, the former governor of Xizhou, was in office for four years and searched for people's fat and anointment. Last year, there was a flood in the Huai River area, but Xizhou was not seriously affected.

However, as a key point of the waterway, Xizhou has always played the role of a receiving point for relief food distribution.

But Lin Suxin was very courageous, and corrupted most of them, which aroused public resentment, but the bandits on the Chaomarri Mountain colluded with Lin Suxin, and the people dared not speak out..."

At times like this, there are always people who are willing to stand up for justice, but Lin Suxin killed several civilians one after another, suppressing the raging discussions in Xizhou City.

At this moment, someone took away Lin Suxin's head.The unexpected development of the matter finally attracted the attention of the imperial court. Guan Hanzhong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, started the investigation, and only then was the murder of an imperial official implicated in the real big case behind the scenes.

Guan Hanzhong encountered a lot of setbacks during the investigation because he was mixed with people from the world, and Xiaobie appeared when he was at a loss.

"Then this farewell night, is it also related to the government?" Chen Ke was thoughtful.

"Yes, Guan Hanzhong, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, was full of praise for him later. And after that, there were two strange cases in Jianghu, both of which were solved by Xiaobie. Others praised him as a "superior detective", but he himself liked it more" Bai Xiaosheng".Therefore, many local officials are not shy about interacting with people from the Jianghu, especially if they are willing to make friends. "Zhao Kexin said.

Seeing Zhao Kexin standing for a long time, Chen Ke rarely ordered someone to bring a stool for him, and then asked, "How did you contact Xiaobie?"

Thank you respectfully, Zhao Kexin carefully sat next to the stool, with his upper body upright, and said: "It's not difficult. Xiaobie himself has a very distinctive appearance. As soon as he entered Chuzhou, the lower officials knew about it, and specially sent someone to look for him." he."

"What is he doing in Chuzhou?"

"It is said that they are just passing by." Zhao Kexin replied.

"Passing by...?" Chen Ke felt intuitively that it was not as simple as passing by.

Xiaobie gave Chen Ke a vague sense of familiarity, which Chen Ke had noticed when he was in Hefenglou.

For example, the posture of serving tea, or the way of speaking, the feeling when smiling, and the gestures of the hands all gave Chen Ke a feeling of deja vu.

But who exactly he looked like, Chen Ke had no idea for a while.

"When did he arrive in Chuzhou?"

"Four days ago, it happened to be the day before the city closed."

This time seems to be nothing special, Chen Ke nodded, "Chuzhou has been in trouble recently, you should pay more attention to this evening farewell."

"The next official takes orders!" Zhao Kexin bowed his hands and left.

On the second day, Xu Qingfeng took Tian Wen out again.

Staying in the courtyard every day, Xu Qingfeng felt bored and boring, presumably Tianwen also wanted to come out to get some air, so Xu Qingfeng made the decision and took Tianwen out.

"There are so many people!" Sure enough, Tian Wen kept looking around excitedly.

There are various items and snacks on both sides of the street, from sugar-making people to sugar-blowing people, from candied haws to rattle drums, all of them are cute little things.

Tian Wen's face was flushed, his eyes were bright, he still followed Xu Qingfeng closely, he didn't run around without authorization, and he didn't ask for anything.

People came and went, Xu Qingfeng pulled Tian Wen, followed by Zuo Ming and a few guards, carefully preventing others from approaching.

"Mr. Xu, you'll be out of Huaxi Street any further." Zuo Ming reminded in a low voice.

Xu Qingfeng was a little disappointed yesterday, and Chen Ke knew it.Today Chen Ke went to the yamen to inspect some corpses, while Xu Qingfeng could bring Tianwen out by himself, but the requirement was not to be too far away from the courtyard, and he had to go back before dark.

Xu Qingfeng naturally agreed and would not worry Chen Ke.

"Then don't go there, there is a teahouse over there, let's drink tea."

A teahouse is a magical place - you can hear what you want to hear or what you don't want to hear.

Xu Qingfeng has his own purpose when he goes out. Although Chen Ke does not avoid him when dealing with affairs, Xu Qingfeng can't do it when he stays in the courtyard and passively accepts information every day.

He wanted to come out and listen to what the atmosphere in Chuzhou was like—you could know the recent situation in Chuzhou through what the people were talking about, and it would be even better if he could get a popular tabloid.

"Why didn't your lord come out with you today?" Tian Wen followed Xu Qingfeng into the teahouse and asked after sitting down.

"My lord was invited by Mr. Zhao."

"What happened again?" Tian Wenmei asked sensitively.

Xu Qingfeng shook his head, "Don't think too much, it's fine."

"Oh." Tian Wen didn't have much interest in the tea in the teahouse, sat bored for a while, feeling uncomfortable, leaned over and asked Xu Qingfeng in a low voice: "Xu Qingfeng, let's go."

"Huh?" Xu Qingfeng kept his ears upright listening to the conversations of the people at the next table. He happened to be talking about the plague, but Tian Wen suddenly interrupted his concentration by talking, "What?"

"People always look at me, it's too uncomfortable." Tian Wen whispered.

When going out on this trip, several people dressed up a little in disguise. Xu Qingfeng changed out of yesterday's fine clothes and dressed up as an ordinary nobleman. Zuo Ming and the others also took off their guard uniforms and put on their own ordinary clothes. Tian Wen had a small bald head, no matter how he dressed up, it didn't help, so he simply came out in his own monk robe.

The matter of Wushan Temple was blocked by Zhao Kexin, and at the same time, Wushan Temple was closed on the grounds of leaking water for repairs.

Even so, the demon cult's night attack on the first night is still well known, after all, it corresponds to the rumor that "gods and Buddhas are unstoppable".

Seeing a monk now, even though the little master looks to be only ten years old, people will always look at him curiously. Tianwen is always scrutinized on the street, and they are a little used to it.

The head that asked silently, the fluffy feel is very good, Xu Qingfeng comforted him: "Sit for a while."

"Oh." At the right time, the buddy brought over refreshments. Although the tea was unpopular, the refreshments were still very cute, and they were made into bunnies and chickens.

Tian Wen picked up the refreshment in the shape of a chicken, and asked Xu Qingfeng: "Look, don't you look like a good boy?"

The little chicks and ducklings that Xu Qingfeng took away from Dr. Huang's house at that time have grown up now, and they are still very obedient, quacking all day and eating too much, and now they are too fat.

Xu Qingfeng ignored him, with an uncomfortable expression on his face, looking down at the teacup in his hand.

Tian Wen looked at him puzzled, and then heard the words from the next table, "That young man is so good-looking! I'm just a brute who doesn't understand those things like fish and wild goose, or how to describe it as shameless! King Ren is also very good looking, the two of you stand together, tsk tsk!"

Another person smiled and teased: "Tsk, what tsk, be careful that King Ren pulled out your tongue!"

Tianwen didn't understand it very well, just happened to have another person at the next table, and asked what they were talking about, and the person said it again:

"I passed by the yamen in the morning. Who do you think I saw? Renwang! You said that Renwang has been in Chuzhou for so many days, but it is mysterious. Someone said that Renwang raised a..."

The man ticked his little finger as he spoke, and everyone around laughed to show that he understood, and then the man continued: "I saw it today, it's so obvious, it looks so good..."

Tian Wen finally understood, raised his eyes to look at Zuo Ming, Zuo Ming heard it too, even heard more, but pretended not to hear it.

Xu Qingfeng was very depressed, he didn't come to the teahouse because of this.I didn't expect Xiaobie to go to the Yamen, Xu Qingfeng suddenly thought, I should have known that he would go too.

Xu Qingfeng waved to signal the clerk to come over and check out, "Let's go."

"Where are you going?" Tian Wen stared at Xu Qingfeng, "Shall we go to the yamen?"

"Uh..." Xu Qingfeng paused, patted the table and said, "Go!"
