Regardless of whether he was right or wrong, he originally had a belief that kept him going, but now that belief suddenly disappeared, Lu Zhengyang was completely dumbfounded. Lies can fool others but they cannot lie to himself. He knows better than anyone else how wrong he is.
Outrageous.
Looking at Lu Zhengyang who lowered his head and said nothing, Lao Lu didn't know whether to comfort or rebuke, so he could only look at Tan Xuan helplessly. Likewise, he was still very conflicted, not knowing whether to plead for mercy or admit his mistake.
The room was quiet for a while. Tan Xuan sat up straight, knocked on the coffee table, and stretched out his hand towards Lu Zhengyang, "Do you still have your Xiao? Show it to me."
"oh."
Lu Zhengyang was very obedient this time and turned back to the bedroom. He quickly took out a wooden box and carefully placed it on the coffee table.
"This is what that person sent me. Except for the express packaging, everything else is here."
"Where did the express come from? Do you remember?"
Lu Zhengyang shook his head, "It seems to have been mailed from the south. I didn't pay attention to the details, but I guess the address is also fake."
"You are smart when you shouldn't be smart." Tan Xuan snorted, picked up the wooden box and looked at it. Apart from the simple shape, he didn't find any clues. There was neither the manufacturer's name nor any pattern on it, and there was no trace of it at all.
A place for servants to find.
Opening the wooden box, there was a short straw about one foot long inside. The straw was very mini and delicate. It was made of bamboo and looked older than the box. There was a piece of paper pressed under the short straw. Tan Xuan
I opened it and looked at it. It was a printed music score, or an old-fashioned Gongchi music score.
"Did you learn this?" Tan Xuan asked Lu Zhengyang while holding the music score.
Lu Zhengyang shook his head, "No, I have never studied music. I can't understand this score. The person later told me through voice how to play, which eye to press first, and which eye to press last. He taught me bit by bit.
.”
Tan Xuan couldn't help but laugh, there was really no one like this kind of teaching.
Tan Xuan took out the short Xiao and looked at it. There was nothing out of the ordinary on the outside, and there was nothing fishy about the bamboo material. But when he lifted it up to look at it, he saw through the Xiao hole that there were other patterns on the inner wall of the Xiao tube. After a closer look,
, we can only infer that it is a strange flower pattern.
Tan Xuan put Xiao under his lips and played a note according to the music score.
"Woo..."
The sound was low and weird, like a ghost whimpering, and then the tone changed, and it was like a beast roaring.
Lu Zhengyang was stunned. He didn't expect that Tan Xuan could play this short Xiao, and his performance was many times better than he knew.
"ah……"
A scream suddenly came from Lao Lu's bedroom.
"mom!"
Lu Zhengyang and Lao Lu immediately rushed into the bedroom, and soon Lu Zhengyang returned.
"Brother Xuan, stop bragging, my mother is very wrong now."
Tan Xuan put down his short whistle. As soon as the whistle stopped, the bedroom became quiet.
He glanced at Lu Zhengyang and said: "That's right, if something is wrong, the main function of this piece is to shock people. It seems that you have never played it at home. Fortunately, the music score is not complete, otherwise Jiangzhou would have been messed up by you."
After saying that, Tan Xuan put the short Xiao back into the wooden box, stood up and tucked it under his arm, "I took this thing away, and you can take care of it yourself from now on."
Lu Zhengyang was confused, looked at Tan Xuan in confusion, and asked: "Brother Xuan, are you leaving?"
Tan Xuan glanced at Lu Zhengyang, "Why don't you leave? Are you waiting to have breakfast at your house?"
"No, then I..." Lu Zhengyang hesitated, his expression was very surprised, but he couldn't express it with his mouth.
"What are you doing? I am no longer Mu Ye's beloved. There is no need to get on the line with you. Besides, Mu Ye's beloved cares about ghosts and people. Even if you are guilty, it is not my turn to deal with you. Let's go.
This matter is over now, I hope you can take care of yourself in the future."
Tan Xuan stamped his feet and ran downstairs.
"Brother Tan, why don't you have some more food? I'll get you some food." Lao Lu shouted to Tan Xuan with a smile, sweeping away the sad face just now.
"Come on, you are such a picky person. I came here for a long time and you poured me a glass of water and scattered it on the ground. You should clean it up quickly. You can buy paper cups in the future to avoid breaking them."
Tan Xuan smiled and went downstairs. Lao Lu was not being polite, and he was not being polite either.
Lao Lu kicked Lu Zhengyang, who was still in a daze, and scolded: "You bastard, what are you doing here? Your Brother Tan is gone, why don't you hurry downstairs to send him off? You'll be here all day long.
, your brain is muddled?”
"oh!"
Lu Zhengyang agreed and hurriedly chased him downstairs, without even having time to put on his coat. Fortunately, when he went downstairs, Tan Xuan had just walked into the car and the door had not yet been closed.
Lu Zhengyang ran over and held Tan Xuan's car door, and said with a serious face: "Brother Xuan, thank you, I will never let you down again."
"Be yourself. You are not living for others. If you cause trouble for me again, I will slap you to death." Tan Xuan closed the car door, started the car, and turned the car around under Lu Zhengyang's grateful gaze.
Tan Xuan drove a few meters and stopped the car again. He pressed down the window and said to Lu Zhengyang: "As for your mother, you can ask your father to find that Narcissus girl. There is a Yin Jiuhai in her house, which is a little bit...
Let’s see if it can help you solve your mother’s problem. If it can’t solve it, tell me and I’ll introduce you to someone who can solve it. It’s not a big deal. You’re not too young. Don’t be stupid.
Oh, I'm being taken advantage of again."
After saying that, Tan Xuan pressed the car window and drove away, leaving only Lu Zhengyang standing there blankly on the street in the early morning.
"Brother Xuan, I won't let you down." Lu Zhengyang shouted loudly.
Unfortunately, Tan Xuan's car has disappeared, only attracting puzzled looks and some gossip from nearby residents.
It was already dawn, and although Christmas Eve was not very peaceful, it passed peacefully. Tan Xuan called Xiao Di and knew that she was already at home, so Tan Xuan drove home with peace of mind.
"Why are you all here?"
Tan Xuan was stunned when he opened the door, because Xiao Zheng, Xiao Di, and Qin Sixian were sitting in his living room. The room was filled with a strong smell of tobacco. He didn't know how many cigarettes Xiao Zheng had smoked.
.
Seeing Tan Xuan come back, the worry on Xiao Di's face was instantly covered up by his anger. He stood up from the sofa, took Tan Xuan into the living room and said, "Nonsense, I didn't tell you on the phone just now.
, are we at home, where are we if we are not here?”
"Haha, I thought you and Brother Zheng went back to your parents." Tan Xuan explained with a smile. He really thought that when Xiao Di said he was going home, he meant going back to the Xiao family. He didn't expect that he was going back here. And
He didn't reply alone. The key was that seeing these people's faces shiny and looking like they hadn't slept all night, Tan Xuan felt a little unbearable but also a little warm in his heart.
"Have you been sitting on the sofa all night? Why don't you go to the bedroom and take a nap."
Xiao Di glared at Tan Xuan and pushed Tan Xuan to the sofa, "Nonsense, you went out in a hurry. We were worried about you but didn't dare to call you, for fear of disturbing you from doing business and not seeing you come back safely.
Can we sleep?"
"It's okay. It's not like you don't know what I'm capable of, so what's there to worry about?" Tan Xuan chuckled, and at the same time cast a grateful look at the two of them.
Xiao Zheng threw a cigarette to Tan Xuan, then lit one and started smoking. Through the smoke, Xiao Zheng glanced at Tan Xuan and asked: "How is the matter handled? Is your friend okay?"
Tan Xuan nodded and lit a cigarette, "The matter has been taken care of. I sent Lao Huang back to the hotel. He has nothing serious. He will be fine after just two days of rest."
"What's going on?" Xiao Zheng continued to ask, and the two women next to her also pricked up their ears.
"Old Huang is a Taoist priest. He has been investigating the incident a few days ago. Today he found out that he went to the abandoned morgue of the city hospital. There are many ghosts and resentful ghosts living there. He accidentally fell into Taoism and got the Yin Qi.
He entered the body, failed to catch the ghost, and was almost killed by a ghost. I went over and sent those ghosts away to rescue him."
Xiao Zheng blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile: "Those ghosts must not have any good results when they encounter you."
Tan Xuan chuckled, "Meeting me is not only their misfortune, but also their great fortune. At least it frees them completely."
"Haha..." Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head.
"Hey! What is this in your hand?" Xiao Di saw the wooden box in Tan Xuan's hand and reached out to take it directly.
"This is the result of my work last night. This time I can feel at ease. There will never be a situation where Xiao Sheng bewitches ghosts and harms people in Jiangzhou."
"This is that Xiao? Have you found the person behind the scenes?" Xiao Di was completely stunned when he saw the things in the wooden box, and then looked at Tan Xuan with a puzzled face, unlike the two people around him who heard
Everyone's eyes lit up after this news.
Tan Xuan nodded, did not avoid Xiao Di's question, and simply replied: "I saw it, everything has been dealt with, and this matter can be brought to an end. There is something wrong with this Xiao, you can put it in the study later.
, let Aunt Hua see if she can find out its origin when she returns to Yanjing."
"Oh." Xiao Di didn't ask any more questions, but focused all his attention on the short Xiao.
"Have you seen the man behind the scenes? Then how did you deal with him? You don't know how to..." Qin Sixian looked at Tan Xuan in shock, and he really didn't dare to say anything else.
Tan Xuan smiled and said, "Sister Qin, don't think blindly. It's okay for me to deal with ghosts, but it's against the law to deal with people. I'm a good citizen who abides by the law."
Qin Sixian straightened his face and said, feigning anger: "What? I'm asking you what to do with that guy."
"I..." Tan Xuan didn't know how to explain it to them. After all, they were the law enforcers.
Xiao Zheng put out the cigarette butt in her hand and said to the side: "Don't ask about this matter. Tan Xuan said that he has taken care of it. Why don't you believe it? Be careful, Xiao Di and you will be anxious for a while."
"How can I not!" Xiao Zheng's words immediately aroused Xiao Di's dissatisfaction.
Tan Xuan gratefully nodded to Xiao Zheng and said, "Brother Zheng, I'm sorry for making you worry too. I also handled this matter on my behalf. You won't be angry, right?"
Xiao Zheng snorted dissatisfied, "Do you think I'll be angry? I'm angry that you haven't had a drink with me yet. Let me tell you, if you don't keep me company, don't expect me to support you.
"
Tan Xuan quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Then someday, I will sacrifice my life to accompany you. I will definitely drink with you. I don't know if I can accompany you, but my attitude must be correct."
"Then what are you waiting for? It's better to choose a day than to hit it. We are all at your house today. Didn't you say before that you would cook for us personally? Now you can fulfill your promise, and it's New Year's Day soon. I am in the New Year
Inspect the goods before the party, so that you don’t take advantage of any loopholes at the wine table again."
"Drink today?" Tan Xuan was confused. He didn't expect that his uncle was really impatient.
Xiao Zheng said without refutation: "Today, if you are tired, you can rest for a while. Si Xian and I are also going to go around the team. We will come over early in the evening. You prepare the food and I will prepare the wine. That's it."
