Chapter 41 Faceless
As soon as the sky got dark, Li Yunxin went out and said he was going to the Qiao family to find out. When Liu Laodao was about to tell him that there was no one in the Qiao family, he saw him standing on the bluestone slab on the small street. When he saw no one on the left and right, he crossed the wall at a height of 100 feet.
Only then did Liu Laodao realize that this master was not only capable, but also skilled. He thought to himself that he was old, so why didn’t he think of eavesdropping?
Half an hour later, Li Yunxin came back.
It was difficult to infer his emotions from his face. So Liu Laodao asked with a nervous mood: "Brother Xin, what should I do about this?"
Li Yunxin picked up the pot and poured himself a cup of tea. He raised his eyes and said, "From a legal perspective, your friend is not wronged. He really wanted to kill the mistress after killing someone."
Liu Laodao stared at the eyes, his gray beard trembled slightly: "Ah? What do you mean by this? He is an old lame man..."
"His name is Mengwu. He used to be nicknamed Killer. Do you know these?"
"……ah?"
"Oh, you don't know. But it doesn't matter. But from a moral perspective, it's still aggrieved. It's because the Qiao family, the big and small, committed adultery, murdered their husbands, and plotted their family property." Li Yunxin curled his lips, "I'm crazy, I've even made up my mind here. I want this yard."
Liu Laodao is again. Obviously, he can't accept such a thing at once.
The Qiao family was booming a month ago, and Qiao Duanhong was quite polite. Now, even he is being missed.
"Then this old Meng...is righteous indignation..."
"Yes." Li Yunxin put down the teacup and stood up, "I'll go to the prefectural governor later. Tell me how to get there."
"Brother Xin wants to...ah, it's unreasonable to tell them. You said that the prefect is also greedy for money, this, this..."
"It's not about reasoning. It's about going to take a look. If you have a way, use methods. There's no way... Well, you can find a way. I'll come back in an hour. I still want to eat beef sauce tonight. I heard from Qiao Wangshi that there were a few more cows coming to Munanju, and another cow died. This is strange. Which one has died during this period?"
"Some other dishes, don't need internal organs. Don't have ginger."
Li Yunxin went out for the first time after more than ten days after coming to Weicheng.
In the past, he could not see any worldly feelings in the mountain village. Now that he came to the city, he paid close attention to every detail, because he knew that this world was not the ordinary world in his cognition.
It does not mean "there are magical methods of immortals". Instead, it is possible that a long time ago, there was a person with enough influence who tried to change the world. Perhaps it failed, but it would leave an indelible mark.
He wanted to find this "mark".
Along the way, he really saw scenes like in movies and TV series - men and women went out to stroll, and there was a night market. The fragrance of the snack stalls in the night market made him even greedy. It was hard to imagine that such a scene would really be like this in such a society, instead of the men on the street, and young ladies were all waiting to be in the boudoir.
This world is more open and open than he thought.
When I saw the government office from afar, it was about 8 o'clock in the evening. In this world, there were fewer people on the streets. There was a river in front of the government office, which was the Cuiliu River. It was relatively wide and could accommodate three pleasure boats. The river was built with bluestone slabs, and green willows were planted. At this time, the willows sprouted, and the clouds were covered with green green, just like smoke.
There is a white stone bridge in the street in front of the government office, which is built with great power and can accommodate two carriages side by side.
Li Yunxin saw from afar that there were still many people walking around on the street at the other end of the bridge, at the front of the government office. He felt it was a bit strange, but he didn't take it seriously. After all, he had not fully understood the customs of this world - maybe it was a petitioner?
It is a good thing to have a lot of people. The number of people on the street is roughly calculated to be 70 or 80. He plans to walk into the crowd, take a look at the terrain first, and then decide where to sneak in.
So I crossed the bridge.
He stopped when he walked down the bridge three steps and his toes were about to step on the street.
Because these people...
It seems not human.
When he was walking down the bridge for a few steps, he turned a man out of a small street in the west. He looked like a rich man came out to buy it at night. Perhaps the owner of the family was interested and planned to try some street snacks.
After the young servant came out, he saw Li Yunxin, looked at him, then turned his face and hummed a little tune, and walked briskly.
Then, the people on the street started to move. They surrounded him with extremely light and swift steps, surrounding him, as if escorting him away.
But it was not an escort, but a sniff, a look at him, and a check on him.
However, the servant didn't realize that he had been surrounded by a group of "people". When he passed by Li Yunxin, he even smiled at him. Until he walked out of the street and out of the government office, the "people" surrounding him walked away from him one after another.
At this time, there were five or six "people" standing in front of Li Yunxin.
A "person" without facial features.
He stretched his neck and "looked" at him with concentration.
It's...faceless ghost.
Li Yunxin took a breath. If he dies, his body will become a faceless ghost. In the streets of the government, there are ghosts in seventy or eighty areas - maybe there are all over the world - how could there be so many?
Not to mention the important place of the government office, even ordinary wealthy families will talk about Feng Shui. There are so many ghosts gathering on this street, and ordinary people must feel something is wrong when they walk over - either gloomy or cold. But now these things are gathering here...
Li Yunxin realized that perhaps one or a few people in the government office knew about this.
There are also resident places for the Taoist sect and the Sword Sect in this city, and they should also know it.
This should be some kind of formation. He frowned slightly, did not step into the street, but just walked along the willow trees by the river for a while, feeling the extremely subtle fluctuations of spiritual energy.
A certain kind of Yin Spirit Array. If it involves Yin Spirit, it may not be a magic trick. But a government office is already one of the few in the secular world that is highly vigilant. Why did it do such things again?
He originally planned to sneak in and see what Li Fuyin said. But at this time, he gave up his thoughts. Using spiritual power in such a formation may be discovered. Whether it is discovered by the Taoist sect or the Sword Sect, it is not a good thing.
After thinking about it for so long, the servant who had walked past came back and still walked this street.
But this time, Yin Ling no longer followed him.
