Liu Yueqi was quite happy to be able to rub her tail openly. If there weren't too many people, Liu Yueqi would probably be able to rub her tail there all afternoon without getting tired of it.
Qing'er, on the other hand, has noticed something is wrong a long time ago. What bullshit, mother-in-law, is growing on the tail! It's just that the young master wants to touch it! What's the air? What's the point of being proud of? Isn't it just that the tail has hair? I'll give you every hair when I get the chance.
Pluck it all out, let’s see if you still dare to show off your bald-skinned tail!
Qing'er was furious, but she remembered that the young master had also been in love with her tail before, so she blushed and said nothing more.
As we all know, the young master is a pervert and keeps his eyes on the monster's tail!
After Liu Yueqi returned home, he began to ask people to make the seasonings. The process was not complicated, but it took a lot of time. As for the cumin on the barren mountain, Liu Yueqi also planned to find someone to get it, but Qing'er did not.
He patted his chest and said, he has already sent someone to get it done!
Liu Yueqi was very surprised. After asking Qing'er, she found out that Qing'er had sent Sangui to find cumin. No wonder she hadn't seen Sangui in the house these two days.
"He actually dared to spray such disgusting things on the young master that day! He should be allowed to do some work!"
Liuyue Qi held her forehead, and felt that Sangui was really miserable. Wasn't this all what you ordered him to do?
Of course I think so, but I can't say it out loud. I have to praise Qing'er's behavior and praise her for knowing how to share the young master's worries.
How to praise specifically? Well... wasn't Qing'er's tongue burned again just now? Then help her suck it until Qing'er is unconscious from being sucked, then let her go.
Later, even Qing'er didn't know whether this was punishment or praise, but it was very useful anyway.
After finishing the trivial matters, it was time to get down to business. Liu Yueqi planned to investigate the cause of his death... Well, there seems to be a problem with his words, but the meaning is correct. He was hit by someone on horseback and that person happened to be dead.
It's outside the city. No matter how you say it, this matter is suspicious.
Liu Yueqi had just traveled through time before and had no time to think about this matter, but after being reminded by Yuzhu, now that she thinks about it, something is really wrong!
Even if the person they wanted to kill was me beforehand, the person currently occupying this body was Liu Yueqi himself. If someone found out that he was not dead and returned, he would still be in danger.
The murderer died, and the cause of death was unknown. The Yamen hastily closed the case. If he wanted to investigate, he could only start with the body.
Liu Yueqi inquired about it. Generally, the dead will be kept in the morgue of the Yamen for seven days. The temperature in the morgue is relatively low and the body can be preserved for a certain period of time. However, it will become smelly after a long time. How does the Yamen stay?
The morgue was cooling down, and Liu Yueqi didn't want to ask too much.
However, it was obvious that seven days had passed since Liu Yueqi was hit, so the body should have been thrown into a mass grave outside the city.
Mass grave!
Liu Yueqi felt a little nervous, that place sounded very weird. Even in the place where there were no ghosts and monsters before, everyone still stayed away from mass graves, let alone this world...
"Qing'er, do you know if there are ghosts in this world?" Liu Yueqi asked Qing'er beside her.
"Yes! But very few. After death, some mortals dissipate between heaven and earth. Some souls return to the underworld and are thrown into reincarnation. A very small number of souls with deep obsessions during their lifetime remain condensed, retain a trace of memory, and become evil ghosts.
!" Qing'er explained.
"Souls... what about people with cultivation? Will their souls go to the underworld after death?"
"This depends on your cultivation level. The higher your cultivation level, the stronger your soul. I heard that when you reach the fourth realm, your body will die but your soul will never die. As long as you find a suitable body, you can even be reborn!"
Hey! It tastes like that!
Liu Yueqi immediately became interested again: "What about monsters? The monster's body is not a human being, so will it be uncomfortable if the soul is attached to a human body?"
"..." Qing'er frowned, why did this young man start again: "How do I know? I've never died!"
"Qing'er, is there any difference between being a snake and being a human? Will it be uncomfortable to have two extra hands and two feet?"
"...Young master, I don't want to be a snake anymore, you go and be a snake!"
…
After inquiring, Liu Yueqi learned that the corpse was indeed thrown in a mass grave. However, after so many days, it was still summer, and the smell was probably terrible. Even if the corpse was really found, it would be difficult to find it.
Any clues.
But I am always idle, what if I can find any clues?
Afterwards, he left the city with Qing'er.
The mass grave is in the wilderness about twenty miles north of Chujing, adjacent to the mountains. The corpses thrown there may be eaten by wild animals. But most of the corpses here are people of unknown origin.
, there are also some death row prisoners who, after being beheaded, have no choice but to throw them in mass graves if no one collects them.
Liu Yueqi took a carriage to the mass grave, and she was thinking about the case in the car.
From the surroundings, I learned that I was walking on the street that day when a man on horseback suddenly ran over and bumped into me like crazy. Then, according to eyewitnesses, the man ran away in a hurry after bumping into someone.
It really looks like manslaughter.
But when I think about it carefully, something doesn’t feel right. I was walking on the street, with people coming and going. There were so many people, but no one was fine, but I was hit. Moreover, although there is no rule against riding horses in the city, you will be hit to death.
Man, that speed must have been extremely fast. It was such a coincidence that he only hit himself at such a fast speed!
Therefore, this matter must be man-made, and that person came for me with purpose!
Then who did she offend? Liu Yueqi had a headache thinking about it. She came from time travel and had no memory of her original body. How could she know who she had offended.
"Qing'er, you've been with me for so long, do you know that I haven't offended anyone?" Liu Yueqi asked Qing'er.
Qing'er shook her head and said: "Young Master used to stay at home and study all day long. There shouldn't be anyone who has any deep grudge against Young Master, let alone hiring murderers..."
Then there are no clues here, Liu Yueqi frowned and thought.
"By the way! King Chu has a nephew named Chu Yun, who seems to be interested in that smelly fox!" Qing'er suddenly thought of something, her eyes lit up, and she said.
Stinky fox? Liu Yueqi reacted for a while before she realized that Qing'er was talking about Bai Yeqing. The king of Chu State is the King of Chu. Because it is only a remote and small country, it does not dare to call itself a dynasty, so it can only be called a little king. This includes Chu Jing.
Including, Chu State only has twelve cities. Although the territory is small, it has all the internal organs and a relatively complete official system. The Chu family has ruled this small country for hundreds of years as a royal family, and has been passed down for more than ten generations.
!
The current King of Chu is named Chu Gang. He is now in his forties and has been in power for ten years. Under his rule, the State of Chu is prosperous. It is far less than the State of Chen in the Central Plains, but compared with other surrounding states.
Small countries are still slightly better.
The Chu Yun Qing'er is talking about is the nephew of the King of Chu. In a large country, the eldest son is called the prince, or the crown prince. But in this remote country, there is no such lofty title, but he is still considered a branch of the royal family.
The most powerful group of people.
"The vixen, like the young master, rarely goes out. The young master used to like to sneak to the Bai Mansion. Unfortunately, he never took Qing'er there, otherwise Qing'er would have known that it was a fox den!" Qing'er clicked her tongue.
Smacking your lips.
"Do I like running to Bai Mansion?" Liu Yueqi was stunned.
"I heard that before Mrs. Bai died, the young master had a good relationship with the vixen. After Mrs. Bai died, the vixen never went out much. Even if the young master went there, he would often get into trouble. It's really disgusting. Otherwise,
Young Master, let’s divorce her!”
"Cough cough cough! Stop it, stop it!" Liu Yueqi stopped Qing'er from talking more and more, and brought back to the topic: "What does that have to do with Chu Yun?"
"Don't vixens like to pretend to be aloof and don't want to go out? It's rare that when I go out, I happen to be seen by Prince Chu. The young master also knows that vixens are very seductive. Chu Yun was so fascinated that he was infatuated every day.
Run to the White Mansion. But the vixen is very upright and rarely sees visitors. In order to maintain his own image, Prince Chu did not push in. Later, he heard that the vixen was actually engaged to you, so he slowly calmed down!"
Although the King of Chu did not designate him as the Crown Prince, Chu Yun has not held an official position in the royal court so far, and people still respectfully call him the Crown Prince. In the eyes of outsiders, Chu Yun is humble and gentle, and when someone calls him the Crown Prince, he always has an awkward attitude.
He refused with a smile, but couldn't bear the flattery. As time went by, everyone called him the prince. After hearing this, King Chu also smiled and shook his head, saying nothing.
"You are the crown prince, and you gave up so easily?" Liu Yueqi didn't care about Qing'er's deliberate smear campaign against Bai Yeqing. Anyway, don't take anything this sinister little snake demon says seriously, otherwise he will definitely make people angry to death.
"What a great reputation he has! Even His Highness the Crown Prince's reputation is not as good as his!" Qing'er squinted her eyes, and she was also angry in her heart. Why didn't the Crown Prince Lao Shizi marry that vixen? He was afraid of any engagement. A person in Chu Jing would have nothing to do with it.
What's there to be afraid of in the Bai Mansion without any foundation... Even if it's really a fight, there may not be anyone in the entire Chu country who can stop a third-level demon...
Are you really afraid of ruining your reputation? Liu Yueqi has some doubts in his heart. In his opinion, those with good reputations are not necessarily good people. They may be poisonous snakes in the dark. You can't just look at people by their appearance. It's like
Qing'er, who could imagine such a nimble girl to be a snake demon that kills people without batting an eyelid... Well, that's what Yuzhu said.
It would be too suspicious for the prince to give up his status just because he has a marriage contract, which is considered below a few people but above ten thousand people in Chu State! Liu Yueqi thought about it, whether it is him or not, this can be regarded as a rule.
Please remember the clues first and then talk about them later.
The carriage drove around for half an hour, and finally arrived at Liu Yueqi's destination this time - the mass grave.
