Ahead, Liuxu led Xiaoyue along this remote alley until they reached the end. After finding a simple house, the two of them went in directly.

Most of the houses in this alley are simple and simple, and most of the people living here are poor.

After Liu Xu and Xiaoyue entered the house, they walked out soon after.

From Xu Bai's perspective, Xiaoyue's face looked much more relaxed.

"It's okay, Xiaoyue, your illness has been cured by me." Liu Xu said with a smile.

Xiaoyue's innocent smile returned to her face again, and she nodded vigorously: "Thank you, Sister Liu."

"It's okay, sister will take you back." Liuxu always smiled.

"Yeah." Xiaoyue nodded obediently.

The two talked for a while and left the street.

Xu Bai did not leave, but stared at the simple house, thoughtfully.

If you go in and out once, the problem will be solved?

There's something weird about this, especially this house.

He thought for a while, waited until he was sure the street was empty, and then came to the house.

There is a lock on the door, which is a commonly used padlock. If you hold the door with your hand, you can push it open a crack.

Xu Bai did not use his hands, but pulled out the ghost head knife and pushed it open with the handle.

After the door was pushed open a crack, sunlight shone into the house.

The furnishings inside are simple but fairly complete.

When Xu Bai saw it for the first time, his eyes widened.

In the dim sunlight, there were several shadows swaying. As the sunlight shone, the shadows appeared and disappeared.

Those were three people, people hanging from the rafters.

——Middle-aged couple, Xiaoyue.

The three of them hung from the rafters, with ropes tied around their necks and their hands hanging down.

Three pairs of eyes were wide open, and their tongues were sticking out of their mouths, lifeless.

There are large corpse spots on the skin, proving that he has been dead for a long time.

"Dead?" Xu Bai was stunned, thinking of Xiaoyue he met before.

But why can you still see it?

Is it weird?

It’s not that Weird is irrational and only knows how to kill like crazy, but why are they still setting up stalls on the street like living people?

Xu Bai couldn't understand that it hadn't been long since he entered this circle.

Although he has been responsible for many lives in a short period of time, he is still a newbie and does not know many theoretical things.

So now that he saw this scene, he couldn't understand the reason.

But one thing...it is certain that Xiaoyue and Xiaoyue's parents are dead.

Xu Bai looked at the cheek with protruding eyes, and thought of Xiaoyue's usual well-behaved appearance, and held the ghost head knife tightly.

What does it feel like?

Can't tell clearly.

Normally, Xiaoyue is innocent and remains curious and innocent about everything around her.

The current Xiaoyue is completely different, her face covered with corpse spots is full of terror.

Anyone who sees this situation will be greatly disappointed.

This is just a little girl of seven or eight years old, but she has reached the end of her life.

Xu Bai thought he was a ruthless person, but seeing the scene in front of him, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

After coming to this world, he experienced many battles from Menghu Village to Shengxian County, and each time he drove all the enemies to death, with a lot of blood on his hands.

Only in front of that stall, eating the stall's steamed buns and drinking porridge, he felt happy during that time.

When you are in darkness, you yearn for light even more.

"Who is it?" Xu Bai took a deep breath.

It is very strange for a family of three to commit suicide for no reason.

Everyone wants to live. If nothing happens, who will commit suicide?

Standing there, Xu Bai thought.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came to his ears, interrupting Xu Bai's thoughts.

Xu Bai looked at a house next to him, where the door was closed.

With true energy flowing in his body, he jumped high and landed on the roof, using the roof to hide his figure.

A large group of people poured in from outside the alley, wearing yamen clothes.

The person taking the lead was the county magistrate and Liu Xing, but the Xiao Yue who was led out by Liu Xing had disappeared.

"Miss Liu, is this the place?" Magistrate Zhang asked.

LiuXu nodded.

The government officials rushed in, opened the door, and then carried out three bodies on stretchers, covered with white cloths.

Soon, the government officials carried the body and left, leaving only Liuxu and Magistrate Zhang in the alley.

"Your Excellency, County Magistrate, I hope this matter will be enforced impartially," Liu Xu said.

"That's natural. I will take the best approach." Magistrate Zhang replied casually.

"The best way?" LiuXu frowned. Even though she was covered with white gauze, it could be seen that she was unhappy.

"Most people in the academy have to take the merit test. After you take the merit test, everything will be clear to you." Magistrate Zhang said again.

[To be honest, I have been using Yeguo to read and catch up on books recently. I can switch sources and read aloud with many sounds. www. Android and Apple are available.]

In the great state of Chu, even women can obtain honors.

The emperor of the Chu State meant that no matter his gender, he should be the only person he could be.

Most people who study in academies do so to gain fame, and only a very few will stay in academies.

"But..." Liuxu still wanted to speak.

"I know Qingyun Academy values ​​you. I also came from the academy. Although it is not Qingyun Academy, you can write a letter to your teacher about this matter and he will tell you everything." Magistrate Zhang interrupted Liu Xu's words and said

I don't want to say any more.

LiuXu sighed when she saw this scene.

She planned to go back first and write a letter to her teacher as Magistrate Zhang said to find out what the situation was.

"Leave first. Anyway, in two days, I will announce this matter, including the causes and consequences and the corresponding punishments." Magistrate Zhang added.

Having said this, Liuxu has been thinking about Magistrate Zhang's words.

The body has been carried away, and Magistrate Zhang and Liu Xu have also left the alley.

At this time, Xu Bai jumped down from the roof and looked at the empty room with gloomy eyes.

He heard it clearly from the rooftop just now.

It can be heard from the conversation between these two people that there is another hidden reason behind Xiaoyue's death.

Let’s not talk about why Xiaoyue is in that strange state. The hidden meaning is worth studying deeply.

"Two days later..." Xu Bai touched his chin.

He planned to wait another three days to see what they would announce.

Thinking of this, Xu Bai didn't stop in the alley and left directly.

…

Liu Mansion.

After Liu Xu returned home, she was in a bad mood. She immediately returned to her boudoir and took off her veil.

She was sitting on a chair, with her white palms supporting her chin and her elbows on the table, as if she was thinking about something, her eyes dull.

After a while, I came to my senses, took out a piece of paper from the drawer, dipped a brush in ink, and wrote a letter.

After finishing writing, he took out the iron cage from another cabinet. There was a homing pigeon in the iron cage.

This carrier pigeon belongs to Qingyun Academy. If there is any need, you can contact the academy through this method.

The content of the letter was very short. I folded the letter with catkins, tied it to the pigeon's leg, and walked outside the door.

"Puff puff..."

With a fluttering sound, the homing pigeon flapped its wings and flew away.

Liu Xu looked directly at the direction in which the carrier pigeon was flying away, holding her hands tightly.

After a while, I let go and returned to the room.

Looking at the green smoke rising from the incense burner in the room, she took out the book from her sleeve and turned to a certain page.
