237. Chapter 237 Changhuan, you are my lucky star!
A large group of people returned to the city lord's palace. On the way, Lin Shengqin told Xia Chuyi some specific situations in the city.
In the city lord's palace, the family of the second master of the Wei family who is in charge of Cangzhou City has been protected by heavy troops. He even invited some famous casual cultivators, but still had little effect.
"That's because you didn't invite Shadow." Ying Yi and the others pouted dissatisfiedly, wondering how those casual cultivators could compare with professional bodyguards like them who have undergone professional training.
Xia Chuyi glanced at them sideways, turned around and asked Lin Shengqin: "What do you mean with little effect?"
Her eyelids jumped when she heard this word, and she just felt that it would not be a good thing.
Lin Shengqin jumped out of the carriage first, lifted the curtain of the carriage with one hand, and reached out to help her down with the other hand. As he walked, he said: "People from the Wei family die every day, even if I personally guard someone, that person
He will also die inexplicably under my nose."
When Xia Chu got off the carriage, he looked up and saw a majestic mansion in front of him. The two stone lions at the door were taller than the two of them. They looked extremely fierce and majestic.
The two bright red doors were tightly closed at this time, and the golden rivets on them reflected dazzling light. The two large characters "Weifu" were written on the gilt plaque on the top of the door, all showing luxury.
As expected, the natal family of the former Queen Mother cannot be described in terms of grandeur.
Xia Chu walked towards the inside and asked as he walked: "He died inexplicably? Did you find someone to examine the body? Do you know the cause of death?"
Lin Shengqin sighed: "If I knew, I wouldn't be so worried. No matter how much I try, I can't find out the reason, so I can only watch the Wei family members disappear from this world one by one."
"Then how many people are left in the Wei family now?"
Xia Chuyi counted on his fingers. This second master Wei was the second uncle of Queen Wei. He had five sons and three daughters, all of whom were married. He had 17 descendants, plus 13 affiliated branches of the Wei family.
All of them add up to 300 if not 500. I don’t know how many of them are still alive now.
Lin Shengqin shook his head and said: "There are only some old people and children left. Most people over the age of fifteen and under sixty have died. Recently, the elderly have begun to die again."
"What about Liuzhou?"
"It's not much better."
At this time, the closed door had been opened from the inside. Lin Shengqin made an invitation gesture towards Xia Chuyi, and the two of them entered the city lord's mansion one after the other.
The yard was in a state of decay. Many rare and exotic flowers and plants were withering and growing weeds because they had no one to take care of them. They looked very incompatible with the outside.
Lin Shengqin said with a slight embarrassment: "A group of military roughnecks, I don't know how to take care of them."
Xia Chuyi rubbed his eyebrows and nodded slightly in understanding.
Just listening to Lin Shengqin talk about these situations gave her a headache. What's more, they soldiers had to be responsible for the safety of Cangzhou City and the lives of the Wei family. How could they have the time and energy to take care of these yards for others?
She didn't plan to rest, so she immediately called everyone and went to check on the surviving Wei family members.
If, as Lin Shengqin said, it was really heavily guarded at all levels, then the patrol team would be so dense that not even a bird could fly in.
Moreover, there are many people with not weak spiritual power hidden in the surrounding trees and on the roofs. They should be the casual cultivators invited back by Lin Shengqin. It is not an exaggeration to say that this protection is foolproof.
But even so, how could those people die inexplicably?
Xia Chuyi personally checked their water, food, living environment, and checked their physical conditions. However, except for being a little sad, there was nothing abnormal about any of them.
After a busy day, Lin Shengqin ordered some food from the restaurant outside. Several people sat at the same table, all in silence.
There is no clue, no progress, it seems like ghosts and gods are causing chaos.
Xia Chuyi looked up distractedly and glanced at the people at the dinner table. He didn't see Feng Luo and suddenly looked at Jin Yuanbao with some doubts.
Jin Yuanbao said hurriedly: "He went to deliver food to Lingdang."
Xia Chu nodded.
She is now the censor of the Xuanyuan Dynasty who patrols on behalf of the sky. She holds the Kowloon Golden Order. Even Lin Shengqin, who has a heavy army, must obey her orders.
The first order she gave was to put Lingdang in a prison for serious offenders and let her reflect and reflect inside.
Otherwise, she would be carrying a time bomb with her every day, and she might end up being found out before she could find out anything.
"Eat all of them. You're full before you can work tonight." Xia Chuyi stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a chicken leg for Chang Huan, and then picked up vegetables for Jin Yuanbao and Ying Yi Ying Er Ying San next to each other.
, when it was Lin Shengqin's turn, she paused and passed directly.
Lin Shengqin raised his head and glanced at her, then lowered his head, took a big bite of rice, and said no more.
He didn't even have the courage to reminisce with her and ask how she was doing. Among the people who came with her, Jin Yuanbao's name was very familiar to him. There was a cold man in black with a strange figure, and a tall man with a handsome face.
Although Lang is a little dull, his strength is also unfathomable.
Although he had obtained the true inheritance of the old general, he was far behind compared with these people. The depression he felt was not something that ordinary people could understand.
After several people had dinner, Xia Chuyi asked Ying Yi to arrange the people and added two shadow teams to guard outside Hecheng Lord's Mansion, paying special attention to the back door.
Jin Yuanbao was in charge of the city lord's palace, and along with Ying 2 and 3, he was responsible for sorting and classifying the information gathered from the surrounding areas and finding something useful.
Xia Chuyi took Chang Huan and Lin Shengqin with him to examine the bodies of the Wei family members again before another death occurred in the middle of the night.
"Let's go, General Lin will lead the way."
Lin Shengqin felt awkward hearing this, General Lin, but he felt even more awkward when he was called Young Master Lin. He just kept his head down and walked forward, the wind blowing under his feet, making him walk very fast.
When he was blown by the cold wind and became more conscious, he quickly turned back to look at Xia Chuyi, fearing that she would not be able to keep up and get lost.
However, when he turned around, he saw Xia Chuyi following him effortlessly and still thinking about saying something to Chang Huan.
Chang Huan stretched out his hand to pull the skirt of her skirt and listened to her words without saying a word, looking like an extremely well-behaved child.
Lin Shengqin was stunned for a moment, stopped and waited until Xia Chuyi was with him, then asked, "Who is this?"
As he spoke, he unconsciously looked at the man. Although he could not feel the dangerous aura, the deep eye sockets and the bridge of the nose were clearly that of a generation overlord. There was also a faint uncontrollable pressure overflowing.
It makes one's heart tremble.
Xia Chu glanced at Chang Huan, pursed her lips and smiled, and saw that the eyes looking at her gradually turned into a beautiful smoky gray, looking extremely beautiful.
She then turned back to look at Lin Shengqin, and said proudly: "I picked it up on the road. It's called Xia Changhuan. How about it? It's pretty good."
Picking up random people on the street! I even picked up a person whose identity I don’t know!
Lin Shengqin sometimes didn't know how such courage could come out of Xia Chuyi's small body?
Just like a year ago in Yecheng, she dared to directly tie up the eldest young master of the Qin family.
Maybe courage is also a kind of strength. She can always do unexpected things and achieve unexpected results.
When the three of them walked to the backyard, they saw several soldiers gathering around a bonfire to keep warm. Seeing Lin Shengqin passing by, they immediately stepped on the fire to put out the fire, but he reached out to stop them.
"Burn it."
A group of soldiers knelt down: "Thank you, General!"
Xia Chuyi looked at it and smiled, thinking that this iron-faced general was not so unkind.
Lin Shengqin nodded from those people expressionlessly, and reached out to call for a leading guard: "Go and open the door of the morgue, the censor wants to do an autopsy."
Censor?
The guard captain's first glance fell on Chang Huan, and finally he found that Chang Huan was actually holding the train of Xia Chuyi's skirt, and then he looked at this little girl among the three who was so petite that she had no sense of existence.
Suddenly, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
He screamed wildly in his heart, no, no, no, no, the censor sent by the emperor is this little girl?
Lin Shengqin reached out and hit him on the head, frowning and said: "What are you talking about, you don't want your life?"
The captain of the guard immediately covered his mouth, only to realize that he had actually spoken out what was in his heart!
But the little girl, the censor, didn't punish him. She's quite a nice person, but I don't know if she has any ability.
When he heard that she wanted to conduct an autopsy in person, he immediately rushed over and opened the morgue: "These are the corpses of the past seven days. The rest cannot be piled up, so they were buried."
"Buried?" Xia Chu suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Shengqin with a frown.
Lin Shengqin saw that something seemed wrong about her appearance, and couldn't help but frowned, and said: "Although the weather is cold, it is not advisable to leave the dead for too long. On the one hand, it will cause diseases, and on the other hand, the city lord's mansion is really full of people."
It’s not going down anymore. What’s wrong? Isn’t this the right way to deal with it?”
Xia Chuyi looked at the row of corpses on the ground with dull eyes, suddenly shook his head and said: "No, it's too wrong..."
Lin Shengqin suddenly became nervous: "What's wrong?"
"It's not right to die!" Xia Chuyi suddenly slapped his head, grabbed Lin Shengqin's arm with both hands and said, "You immediately take people to dig up the buried corpses. Don't leave any dead ones alive. Dig them out and immediately pile them up and burn them!"
Lin Shengqin saw that Xia Chuyi didn't look like he was joking and was extremely anxious. He didn't ask any questions and walked out quickly.
He asked the chief of guard to stay and help Xia Chuyi, and he immediately sent word to the deputy general to order his troops, and immediately went to the Wei family's ancestral grave.
Listening to the clanging of soldiers and armor outside, Bell huddled in the hard corner and raised his head to look at Feng Luo.
"It's such a mess outside. If you don't help me, why are you watching a little girl like me? This prison is so tight, are you still afraid that I will escape?"
Feng Luo leaned against the cold wall, folded his arms, his eyes fell lightly on the plate of food without the bell, and he said nothing.
Lingdang looked up at him and said somewhat speechlessly: "You will leave after I finish eating?"
Feng Luo nodded.
She was straightforward and immediately picked up the rice bowl and took a few big mouthfuls. Then she poured a whole side dish into the bowl, mixed it with the rice and quickly stuffed it into her mouth.
Just when she thought she was about to choke to death, her job finally came to an end. She took a sip of water and pointed at the cell door: "Sir, please leave."
However, Feng Luo still leaned against the wall and didn't make any movement. He only stared at her with his eyes that were as black and ferocious as hers.
She suddenly became angry: "You don't mean what you say!"
Feng Luo sneered: "I didn't speak just now."
The unsmiling man acted like a rogue, and it was impossible to resist. Ling Ding was immediately discouraged and simply shrank back and hid in the corner again.
Feng Luo walked out immediately when he saw this. Ling Dang wanted to stop him, but in the end he couldn't. He bit his lower lip with a tangled look on his face.
However, before she could get through the tangle, Feng Luo came in with two relatively clean beddings, spread them out for her, then picked up the empty bowls on the floor and walked out again.
This time the bell finally couldn't help but call him: "Hey!"
Feng Luo stopped for a moment but didn't look back.
Ling Ding almost bit her lip until it bled, and it took her a long time to hold back the words: "Don't be too nice to me."
Feng Luo just pretended not to hear it and walked away. He heard the bell behind him shouting almost hysterically: "Did you hear it? Stay away from me, as far away as you can. If you die, don't blame me for not warning you."
!”
Stepping out of the cell without stopping, Feng Luo breathed in the cool night wind outside, and suddenly felt that the anxiety rising in his heart was instantly dissipated.
He didn't know what he was doing. He clearly didn't want Shi Qi to tell him everything, but he couldn't help but want to find an answer in his heart.
He must be crazy.
Shaking his head to get rid of all the messy thoughts, he immediately asked all the way and ran towards where Xia Chuyi was.
Xia Chuyi had already inspected several corpses at this time. There were no external injuries or signs of poisoning. When they were cut open, there was nothing wrong with the inside of the body, almost as if they had died of natural causes.
But how could there be no illness or disaster, so regular deaths every day?
When he was at a loss what to do, he raised his head and looked at Chang Huan, who was sitting quietly beside him holding a knife.
When the guard captain saw her using the knife, he couldn't bear it and ran out. She didn't want anyone to get in the way, so she left him alone.
And Chang Huan had to be where she was, so she could only let him stay here.
She was originally worried that bloody scenes such as anatomy would arouse bad memories of his bloodthirsty factor, but it turned out that she had overthought it. He would only take action when he sensed danger, and he was usually very well-behaved.
Like a little sheep.
Xia Chuyi's tired nerves finally calmed down a bit, and he was about to continue checking the rest when he saw Chang Huan suddenly come over and slap a dead man on the head.
She tried to stop him but couldn't stop him. She was afraid that if Chang Huan slapped her, her brain would explode, so she quickly closed her eyes.
After waiting for a while, she opened her eyes again and saw that the man's head was still fine, but Chang Huan was holding a long thin silver needle in his hand and handed it to her, widening his eyes for praise.
.
Xia Chuyi couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "This needle is not mine... No, Chang Huan, where did you get it?"
Chang Huan pointed to the head, and Xia Chuyi quickly found a corpse, pulled off his hair, and saw a faint silver light on the top of the head.
She sucked it with her hand, and sure enough, a long silver needle came out!
"That's it! Chang Huan, you are my lucky star, hahahaha!"
