I can tell fortunes, so I’m not easy to mess with [Cross Book]

When Bai Yiling saw him for the first time, he was only seven years old and he was fighting for food.

It was the fourth year that Bai Yiling was sent by his father to become a dead soldier. The training of the dead soldiers was very strict, and their daily food share was only half of the number of people.

A group of children twisted into a ball, and Bai Yiling was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He finally grabbed a bun, held it in his hand and immediately ran wildly, but accidentally tripped and lay on the ground.

The precious bun rolled out and stopped beside a pair of buckskin boots.

The people around did not know when An An knelt on the ground quietly, but his eyes were only on the bun, and he was very worried that the owner of the boots would be blind for a while, and the bun would be trampled into meatloaf for him.

But the other party stopped, then bent down, picked up the bun, Bai Yiling looked up along the hand picking up the bun, and saw Linzhang King Lu Qi.

Lu Qi smiled and put the bun in his hand, and left without saying anything.

Holding the buns, Bai Yiling heard the boy next to him ask him: "My lord, if you value this kid, why don't you ask me to buy some clean ones for him?"

"Many things." The young Lu Qi scolded with a smile, "This is a prize for winning a fight. What do you buy?"

Because of this sentence, Bai Yiling was willing to follow him.Later, he was transferred from a dead man who could not see the light to Ze'an Guard, and was promoted step by step, all of this was not unrelated to Lu Qi's help.

It's a pity that he was too young back then, so he didn't see Lu Qi's character because of this.

This person is good at buying people's hearts with words, but he is unwilling to give definite promises.In his eyes, Bai Yiling is just like a steamed stuffed bun that can satisfy hunger, it is an unexpected prize, a tool that can be used when needed.

No matter what Lu Qi's original intention was, at least his help to Bai Yiling was real, so Bai Yiling saved his life and did many things for him.

In the original plot, Lu Qi's success in ascension to the throne was due to tampering with the late emperor's edict. Bai Yiling had always been loyal to Lu Qi, never doubted his actions, but followed him until he ordered Ling Chi to execute him.

In fact, with the deepening of contact, Bai Yiling in reality has faintly felt Lu Qi's ambition, and has made up his mind to alienate him. Unfortunately, Han Xian, who killed a thousand swords, came through and disrupted all his rhythms.

"Sixth Brother!" Seeing Bai Yiling lost in thought, Yan Yang called softly.

"Yeah." Bai Yiling smiled, Yan Yang was dazzled, and heard the other party say, "Anyway, we should go to the palace to investigate. If they want to see the corpse, let's carry it there together. By the way, Mr. Wang's sedan chair first Stay here, and I'll take another look."

The bearers of the Wang family brought the sedan chair over intact, Bai Yiling nodded, waved his hand back, and signaled for some people to carry the corpse to the Wang family to explain.

He washed his hands, checked the sedan chair and got off. Turning around, he happened to see the iron shop where the boy on the street snatched the sickle, so he went over to check.

The location of the iron shop was between the intersection of the main street and a small alley. When Bai Yiling walked to the door of the iron shop, he saw a raging fire burning inside the iron stove, and a heat wave rushed towards his face.

Inside the door, a blacksmith was forging iron tools one by one, and a young man beside him was pulling the bellows for him. In this early winter season, both of them were shirtless. When they saw him, they immediately stopped and showed their faces. The color of fear.

Bai Yiling smiled, seeing that they couldn't spare their hands, he helped to add some charcoal to the stove, let the blacksmiths do their thing, and withdrew by himself.

Bai Yiling had a preliminary guess about the cause of Wang Chang's death. After leaving the iron shop, he planned to go through the alley and go directly to Wang Shangshu's mansion—his subordinates had already gone there to wait for him.

Bai Yiling took a few steps forward, and suddenly felt his ankle was touched by something.

He stopped and lowered his head, only to see a small red fox the size of a palm standing at his feet, raising one paw to step on the top of his boot, and the other paw to poke his ankle.

Bai Yiling: "..."

He actually felt that he could see a little "stop for me" in this posture.

Bai Yiling couldn't help but bent down, looked at the other party carefully, and muttered: "Why are so many foxes running on the street recently, and they are all red? Did someone take your nest?"

Lu Yu: "..."

He turned around, revealing the side wound.

Bai Yiling: "...So it's still you."

[Points: +1. 】

He felt that this thing was really evil, and he didn't know how he ran out of the house and found himself so accurately, it was quite clingy.

Although the fox seemed a little arrogant, the points gave away the fact that he was actually very happy to see Bai Yiling.

Bai Yiling tore off a piece of cloth, re-bandaged the wound on his body, and took Lu Yu to Wang Shangshu's mansion.

The ethos of the Jin Dynasty is to value the family background, the honor after death, and the common people are fine. Many high-ranking officials and nobles are unwilling to speak up after their families are involved in murders, and it is even more taboo to leave the bodies of their relatives in the Northern Inspection Department.

In addition, Mrs. Wang's Mrs. Liu was not a good person, she was very fierce. If it wasn't for Wang Chang's death in public this time, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see his body when investigating the case.

When Bai Yiling brought the fox to Wang Shangshu's mansion, all the servants and servants in the mansion had been gathered in the middle of the courtyard by the messengers who had arrived before him, and the main hall door was opened.

Chang Yanbo was talking to Mrs. Wang, but Mrs. Wang sat on the chair crying heartbreakingly, and ignored him at all.

Wang Chang didn't dare to take a concubine, and he and Madam Wang only had one daughter, Wang Haiyun, who had a marriage contract with Bai Yiling, and she didn't appear in the courtyard at the moment.

Bai Yiling found a shallow basket and put the little fox into it, then ordered his subordinates to question the servants of the Wang family one by one, and then went into the main hall by himself.

Chang Yanbo approached, pointed to Madam Wang's direction with his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I only want to see the corpse, and I won't say anything else."

Bai Yiling nodded, and went forward to Madam Wang and cupped his hands: "Bai Yiling, the commander of Ze'an Weibei Inspection Department, came to investigate the cause of Mr. Wang's death, and the body will be delivered later. Please wait a moment, Madam."

Mrs. Wang glanced at him with contempt in her eyes, and did not return the courtesy.

Outsiders don't know, but she has heard her younger brother Liu Bo mention that this Bai Yiling, who has a bright future, is actually all supported by the king of Linzhang. He is just a dog raised by him, and he is not worthy of his daughter at all.I don't know if the engagement is broken now...

Thinking of this, she couldn't help remembering her husband who died tragically on the way back, and Madam Wang burst into tears again.

Bai Yiling didn't care about these women, he casually said "Madam's condolences", looked around, and asked, "Why is it so cold in the house, isn't there a charcoal basin?"

Chang Yanbo felt a little cold just now, but he didn't think much about it, and then he realized it after listening to Bai Yiling.In the entire spacious front hall, there was really only one charcoal basin, and Mrs. Wang and the maids serving beside her were all wearing thick clothes.

This is so strange, could it be that a dignified Lord Shangshu's family can't even afford enough charcoal?That's not right either, the sable fur warm boots Mrs. Wang is wearing are much more expensive than charcoal.

Mrs. Wang ignored Bai Yiling, but the little girl behind her couldn't stand it anymore.

She feels that a good-looking person should not be left out,

So the little servant girl replied instead of her master: "Master Bai, my wife's body is different from ordinary people, and she is fine everywhere, but she can't smell the ordinary charcoal smell since she was a child, and her hands will become red and swollen even if she touches a little bit of charcoal powder, which will disappear after a long time." not drop."

Chang Yanbo interrupted in surprise: "Then what should I do, it's so cold in winter?"

Mrs. Wang gave him a vicious look while crying.

Bai Yiling suppressed a smile, and pushed Chang Yanbo - Chang Yanbo spoke carelessly, and Mrs. Wang had a particularly bad temper, so the communication between the two of them probably wasn't very pleasant just now.

The little servant girl said: "My lord is joking, so of course I can't. The family has always used the green charcoal bought from Persia, but I haven't bought it in the past few days, so ordinary charcoal can be burned in other rooms, but Madam can't do it here."

Bai Yiling nodded. The green charcoal is smoke-free and dust-free, which is unique to Persia. The Wang family has probably been buying it from traders over there.

But just a month ago, there was a civil strife in Qi between Persia and Jin, so that merchants had to detour, which took a long time on the way and the supply of goods was insufficient.

He asked again: "Master Wang, did you have any abnormalities before going out today? Who did you meet?"

The maid took care of the Wangs and his wife's daily life. She knew this very well, and said without hesitation: "No. My lord got up a bit late today. He said that he was afraid of thanking the Marquis for waiting so long. He left the mansion without breakfast. I didn't expect... ..."

When she said this, she glanced at Mrs. Wang and stopped talking.

Chang Yanbo didn't want to look at this fierce old woman at first, but after being pushed by Bai Yiling, he slipped away quietly.

He walked into the yard, originally wanting to see if the other servants had given any useful information, but when he went out, he just heard a low voice:

"...Master Wang's temper has become more and more serious in the past two years. In the past, he would never speak loudly with his wife, but now the two of them sometimes quarrel...It's all because of trivial matters."

Another voice said: "Okay, got it."

Chang Yanbo didn't make a sound, and stood quietly not far away, waiting for the man to finish speaking, then he came out, and saw that it was Yang Zhun who was questioning the servant just now.

He stopped Yang Zhun and asked, "Why, did that girl just say that Wang Shangshu and Mrs. Wang have a bad relationship?"

Yang Zhun's rank was low, and when he saw him salute, he called "Chang Lingwei", and then said: "No, she said that Master Wang's temperament has changed a lot in recent years, and he is more irritable than before, not only to his wife, but also to everyone. Very fierce."

Chang Yanbo let out a "huh", just when the cold wind was blowing, he shivered, and said half-jokingly: "It can't be that the charcoal is not allowed to be burned, it's freezing."

Unexpectedly, Yang Zhun said solemnly: "It's cold in this mansion, it is indeed full of yin energy, and it is easy to attract ghosts. Mr. Wang is upset and irritable. Maybe there is...some other reason."

Chang Yanbo was only cold just now, but after hearing what he said, he felt a chill rising from his heart. Even though there was still a big sun hanging over his head, this mansion seemed ghostly and weird to him. extremely.

He was afraid in his heart, so he let out a haha ​​laugh to ease the atmosphere, and the laughter echoed in the courtyard.

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Passing servants looked at him in horror.

Yang Zhun: "..."

Chang Yanbo felt very humiliated, so he slapped Yang Zhun on the back of the head with his hand, and cursed half-jokingly:

"We're fucking errands, why are you still looking at Fengshui in other people's houses? Shut up, you boy, our commander is the most impatient to listen to this-even if it is really a crime committed by a ghost, he still wants to do it. Check it out."

Yang Zhun froze slightly, followed Chang Yanbo with a smile, and stopped talking.

In the room, Bai Yiling asked two questions, and then looked around. These words seemed to have nothing to do with Wang Shangshu's death, but he did have some clues in his mind, and asked again: "Dare to ask Wang Shangshu today? This robe I'm wearing..."

When he said this, Mrs. Wang also stopped crying, frowned and said: "Master Bai, since you are eating the royal rations, you should do your job well. I only care about when the murderer who killed my husband will be found. Your questions are rambling. Nonsense, it has nothing to do with the case at all, is it over?"

For this young man who almost became her son-in-law, Mrs. Wang never took a liking to him from the very beginning. In her heart, Bai Yiling must have missed her daughter, and it was only natural to serve the Wang family, so she was not polite at all.

Bai Yiling raised his eyebrows, and before he had time to speak, two men suddenly walked in from outside, the one behind was a little shorter, and he said as soon as he entered the door: "Why did my sister lose her temper so much, who made you unhappy gone?"

The person who spoke was gentle and delicate, and it was Mrs. Wang's younger brother Liu Bo that Yan Yang had just mentioned to Bai Yiling not long ago. He was dressed in plain clothes, and he obviously rushed over after knowing the news of his brother-in-law's death.

Bai Yiling's gaze passed Liu Bo directly, and fell on the man in light purple uniform in front of him.

He has handsome features, a long body, and a gentle and gentle demeanor. He is amiable without losing his majesty. He is the king of Linzhang, Lu Qi.

Lu Yu poked his head out of the basket quietly, with thoughtful eyes, observing his uncle who unexpectedly appeared.

The moment Bai Yiling saw Lu Qi, time froze, and a reminder came from the system:

[Alarm, abnormal mood swings in the character Lu Qi have been detected. 】

[Attention to the host, if you want to open the private plot of the previous host, please exchange it with 10 points. 】

Bai Yiling frowned slightly.

He knows what a "private plot" is, because he himself is a character who is not controlled by the original work, and his personality changes have caused many bugs that are out of the plot. After Han Xian arrived, in order to correct these bugs, he had to add Some personal play.

When Han Xian successfully crossed just now, because his body was occupied in an instant, he couldn't get used to it, and his self-awareness was severely suppressed. Bai Yiling's memory during that time was blank, and he didn't know what Han Xian played.

Now it seems that this private plot must have something to do with Lu Qi, so it cannot be taken lightly.

Bai Yiling checked his points, and he can only use integers above 100 to redeem the survival time. He still has some left, so he nodded in agreement.

The system finally made a deal, and was immediately excited.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Bai Yiling sprayed out a cloud of colored mist like fireworks, and the task box appeared in his mind beamingly.

The system rippled:

[Congratulations to the host!The private plot exchange was successful! ╰(*°▽°*)╯]

[The privately set plot has been opened, and the "traveler" Han Xian once used the "You and I are just playing" intermediate gift package on the "original protagonist" Lu Qi. 】

What an ominous name.

Bai Yiling: "Play... play? Play him, or, play me?"

There is no doubt about the answer - it has always been the role of the protagonist playing other people, how could anyone play the role of the protagonist?

The author has something to say: This article was abused as the original protagonist, not a cp, nor loved.

In fact, Lu Qi has already lost this chapter, because he is the one with the "mood swings", and the sixth brother is the one with the "heart like still water"...
