"Even if you have special information that you cannot explain, you must first report it to me and Yuan Shangshu before taking action."
"Instead of acting without permission and being arrogant and arrogant like now, you had to summon all the people before you came to inform us." Shi Huang slapped the table and got angry, exactly the same as Yuan Shen's previous behavior.
Looking at Shi Huang, who seemed to be blowing his beard and glaring, Ye Chuxiao lowered his head and admitted his mistake on the surface, looking harmless to humans and animals, but in fact he was very sober in his heart.
He didn't find Yan Po, the Dragon King Yuan Yan and the Dragon Queen Yuan Meng, and it was a ghost that Shi Huang would pay attention to.
To put it another way, even if there was no such thing as Lu Baimei's impending murder, just for the sake of Yan Po and Liang Long, Shi Huang would still have to write a letter and ask Lu Baimei to help entertain him.
Ye Chuxiao is taking advantage of the situation from both sides, pretending to be powerful.
Relying on Yuan Shen and Shi Huang, they coaxed the Dragon King and Dragon Queen, and relying on the Dragon King, Dragon Queen and Yan Po, they stabilized Yuan Shen and Shi Huang.
Sure enough, seeing how "honest" Ye Chuxiao was, Shi Huang couldn't bear to criticize him any more.
After all, Ye Chuxiao’s starting point was good.
The key is this network... Calling three artistic conception level experts as thugs in one breath, this method and this relationship shocked Shi Huang.
My inner evaluation and estimation of Ye Chuxiao had already risen by several levels at this time.
Before that, in Shi Huang's view, Ye Chuxiao was just a very capable candidate for the Golden Medal who was good at seizing opportunities. He was worthy of vigorous training, but what deserved attention was the future, not the present.
"That's all! Since you've already invited people, I won't be in a bad mood."
"There is no need to explain the details to Lu Shenqing in advance, so as not to alert the enemy. I will edit a letter and you will take it to Lu Shenqing, and he will treat you to a banquet on my behalf." Shi Huang started to write a letter.
Ye Chuxiao whispered: "Well... Yuan Shangshu had already given me a letter before."
Shi Huang paused his pen, then nodded and said: "Indeed, he is the Minister of the Ministry of Justice. In terms of authority, he is more suitable to write this letter than me."
"It's great that you noticed this detail."
"Okay, I already know about this, you can just act according to the plan."
As he spoke, he took off a jade pendant from his waist and handed it to Ye Chuxiao.
"This object not only contains three full blows from me, but once it is crushed, I will sense it in my heart and arrive immediately. If you really encounter a difficult opponent, you must make protecting Lu Shenju the first priority. Don't hesitate and fight."
Hesitant." Shi Huang said.
It's not that Shi Huang doesn't want to go to Lu Baimei's house with Ye Chuxiao.
After all, Yan Po and Liang Long were already here, and even if Shi Huang spent a day to accompany him, it was completely worth it.
It's just that both Shi Huang and Yuan Shen hold important positions. Holding important positions not only has high power, but also means that their every move is watched by interested people from all sides.
If someone really wanted to harm Lu Baimei, he would suspend his plan after seeing Shi Huang and Yuan Shen taking action.
As for Yan Po and Liang Long, there is no direct connection between them and Lu Baimei. If they deliberately hide their whereabouts and enter the house quietly, the probability of attracting attention is much smaller.
Ye Chuxiao took the jade pendant with both hands and put it into his arms solemnly.
In his arms, folded with the jade pendant, was an exquisite little paper figurine.
That was the "confidence" given by Yuan Shen and Yuan Shangshu.
After the report was completed, Ye Chuxiao took a stack of official documents and was ordered to go to the house of Shenping on Lu Baimei Road.
Yan Po disguised himself as Ye Chuxiao's entourage and was responsible for driving for him.
As for the two dragons, they turned into two swords behind Ye Chuxiao and carried them on their backs as a disguise.
Among the five great catchers of the Six Gates, Shi Huang is the actual chief catcher, the prime minister, and has the most direct and close relationship with the imperial court. The other four great catchers actually have additional identities.
Ru Jin Bu Yi, he is the head of the Hedong Jin family, representing the power of the wealthy family within the six gates.
As for Lu Baimei, he represents the sect monks.
In addition to being the catcher of the six sect gods, Lu Baimei is also the elder of the Xuanxiao sect.
Before Tang Sutong devoted himself to promoting spiritual practice in Daheng, practitioners almost only came from the court, aristocratic families and sects. Although there were also casual practitioners, most of them were weak and lacked top-level combat power. A plate of scattered sand was not worth it.
Mention.
This also led to the fact that Liumen, a violent department composed almost purely of monks, itself had the 'bloodline' of the court, sect and aristocratic family at the same time.
Bronze Medal, Silver Medal, Gold Medal, Divine Catcher... The monks rely on their promotion in the six gates to obtain the training of their affiliated forces, and because of the cultivation of their affiliated forces, they obtain a higher status.
The two complement each other.
Also because of 'bloodline', if one is not from an orthodox royal lineage and reaches the position of a divine arrester, one has to 'avoid suspicion' as much as possible to a certain extent.
Without conscription, he rarely takes the initiative to intervene in the affairs of the court and the six doors.
Of course, this is only on the surface. It is normal to form gangs secretly and divide the interests.
Ye Chuxiao was a candidate for the Gold Medal of the Six Doors. He came to visit Lu Shenqing in the name of official business, so he did not need to wait outside the door for notification. He was directly led into the living room by the butler, served tea and snacks, and waited for Lu Baimei.
the appearance of.
"Look at the feng shui and luck. This mansion is in its prime and does not look like it is about to be robbed." Dragon King Yuan Yue said behind Ye Chuxiao.
The Dragon Queen said: "Some people know how to look, and some people know how to hide. What's so strange about this!"
"Back then, King Chen entered the palace alone. Before leaving, he asked Lai Shen Tong to observe the situation. It was clear that the clouds had cleared and the mist had dispersed, which meant that he and the dog emperor had resolved their knots and settled their old grudges."
"I never thought that as soon as His Highness King Chen entered the palace, Lai Shentong's eyes would explode, he vomited blood and died. He laughed miserably before he died. His traitor betrayed me and harmed King Chen."
Ye Chuxiao heard another story about King Chen's past and was about to ask in detail.
But I saw a middle-aged man walking into the living room.
The man has an ordinary face and is slightly hunched over. He only has a pair of white eyebrows that fly into his temples, showing an extraordinary look. He is obviously an extraordinary person.
"Hidden is not always hidden, and the appearance is not fixed. His condition is not quite right. He must have an old injury that has not healed." Dragon King Yuan Yong said.
At this time, before Ye Chuxiao, Yan Po walked out from Ye Chuxiao's side and took off the hat on his head.
"Lu Shen Zha! Long time no see!" Yan Po said as he put the bamboo hat on the table.
Even though he was wearing a coarse cloth jacket, he looked much more majestic than this street hunter.
Lu Baimei looked at Yan Po for a moment, then smiled bitterly and said: "Master Yan! Are you still planning to kill me and seek justice for the seven members of the Xie family?"
Yan Po did not answer the question, but just glanced at Ye Chuxiao.
Ye Chuxiao immediately came out and said: "Lu Shenzai, this is a letter from Yuan Shangshu."
"Brother Yan is accompanying me to handle the case. He happened to be here and just came to visit an old friend."
Lu Baimei opened Yuan Shen's letter and smiled after reading it: "That's it! It's a great honor for Liumen to have an expert like Yan Daxia help solve the case. Although Mr. Lu has been fighting in recent years,
There are not many official duties for Li, but it is his duty to entertain the great hero Yan on behalf of Yuan Shangshu."
Then he called the housekeeper and ordered him to prepare a banquet. Then he went to Pingliangfang to invite several oirans to sing and dance to add to the fun.
"Fine and wine are enough, but singing and dancing are not necessary!" Yan Po refused.
Ye Chuxiao was on the side, slightly disappointed.
It's not that he can't afford it, or that as a time traveler, he can't pay for his money, which means he's losing money.
It's embarrassing to say it out loud.
It's a pity that Daheng is rich in martial arts but not good in writing style.
A young lady who can recite poems and compose poems is far less popular than an oiran who has mastered the art of cloud and rain, which can help her practice.
Even if Ye Chuxiao has a lot of poems and famous lines, he has no place to put them to use... If he wants to get into the palace, he has to spend real money.
Then there is no cost-effectiveness. To increase the same amount of cultivation and spend money to buy elixirs, the price will be much cheaper.
"Okay! They are all elegant people, so they don't taint their ears with vulgar music." Lu Baimei said with a smile.
"There happen to be some pretty begonias blooming in my house, so why not put the banquet in the garden. If the wine is in the mood, invite the begonias to dance and play music to the stars and the moon!" Lu Baimei continued.
Lu Baimei was born in the Xuanxiao Sect and was very good at magic.
Once you have mastered the technique to a profound level, you can temporarily enchant flowers, plants, trees, or even a ray of light, a ball of air, or a memory, making them temporarily spiritual, possessing a body, and even displaying means and abilities.
Therefore, it is indeed very dangerous for ordinary magicians to be touched close by.
But with powerful skills, close combat is not a weakness.
If you enter the realm of martial arts cultivation, you don't even know what is around you and will suddenly strike and deliver a fatal blow.
The two dragons were still transformed into swords, carried on Ye Chuxiao's back, and did not appear for the time being.
If there are real attackers, they can have a surprising effect.
While chatting in the living room, Lu Baimei also casually looked through the official documents Ye Chuxiao brought.
As night falls, colorful lanterns are lit under the trees in the garden.
Under the tall sycamore trees, clusters and trees of begonia flowers are blooming beautifully.
The three of them sat down separately. Although there were only three seats, the table was filled with rare delicacies found from all over the country. The drinks placed in the banquet room were all tribute wines.
Various fragrances linger and entangle together, attracting people's greed.
"Come! Master Yan! Drink this cup with me first."
"If you hadn't stopped me, I would have almost made a big mistake. The injustice of the seven members of the Xie family is still a thorn in my heart, making it difficult for me to sleep or eat well."
"It's really unimaginable that if it hadn't been for you, Master Yan, how many tragedies like the Xie family would have happened because of my fault." Lu Baimei raised his glass and said. When he spoke, he often sighed and looked gloomy. Obviously, he was not
Just empty talk.
Yan Po picked up the wine glass and drank it down first.
"Lu Shen arrested! I have seen many people in the government, even if they are just the lord of a county, or even the protector of a village, killing a family butcher is normal to them. Even if I catch them on the spot, they can be proud of it.
They use all kinds of weird names and do things like jackals, tigers and leopards in the name of their family and country."
"For them, the life and death of a family is nothing more than the life of an ant. For their so-called greater ambition, killing or injuring hundreds or thousands of people is nothing more than that." Yan Po drank a glass of wine and seemed to have some thoughts.
Much to say.
These words had been in his stomach for a long time, but at this moment, he had two good people to talk to, Ye Chuxiao and Lu Baimei.
"So, I don't care about anything else, just pick up the knife and kill him!"
"They want to turn into wolves, tigers and leopards in the name of their family and country, so I will tear off their disguise and list the scandals they have done one by one, one by one, and make them public so that they will be infamy for thousands of years."
Yan Po said as he put aside the wine glass and picked up the jug on the table to drink.
Ye Chuxiao looked at his "bold" behavior and quietly pushed a plate of bitter oranges that had a sobering effect in the direction of Yan Po.
Brother, don’t talk to your heart’s content, drink to your heart’s content, and then forget about the real thing!
Yan Po's reputation as a swordsman was indeed accumulated one after another, one after another, through 'little things'.
And these so-called trivial matters are actually major matters concerning the life and death of many ordinary people.
It's just that these 'big things' are infinitely reduced and become insignificant in the face of power and force.
There are no magical skills, no magical weapons, no upheavals and chaos, and no twists and turns in the transition of imperial power. For those high-ranking monks, can it be considered a big event?
"You! Lu Baimei! Apart from Brother Tang, you are the second official who cares about the people. The seven members of the Xie family... I came to you to seek justice for them. For this justice, you suffered
I stabbed you, and that stab hurt your internal organs, making it difficult for you to improve your cultivation, and you have been suffering from ailments all year round..."
Yan Po put down the wine bottle and stood up, clasping his fists at Lu Baimei and saying, "You deserve to be stabbed by me. You did not do things well and enforced the law wrongly, and you killed people. You deserve to be stabbed by me... You deserve to be alive and you deserve to die."
"But you also impressed me. In this world... there are not many officials like you who treat the common people as human beings. It is even rarer for monks like you to treat the common people as human beings."
"So I admire you too!"
"My brother said you were in trouble, so I came here and I will not give up even if I die!"
When Lu Baimei heard this, he stood up and clasped his fists at Yan Po: "It's too much! It's too much! Lu... How can he be so virtuous!"
As he spoke, he was suddenly startled, and then said: "What does Master Yan mean by this?"
Ye Chuxiao looked at Yan Po, who had already revealed his 'purpose', and could only say: "Yuan Shangshu and Shi Shenquan have received news that someone wants to harm Lu Shenquan tonight, but after all, they hold important positions and are involved in a group of people."
The hair moves the whole body, but it is not easy to move arbitrarily, so I arranged for my subordinates to invite Brother Yan to come and help Lu Shen catch the fist."
Ye Chuxiao once again reversed the order and acted in the name of Yuan Shen and Shi Huang, which was much more justified.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Lu Baimei sighed: "Let Yuan Shangshu and Shi Gong worry about it."
Then he clasped his fists at Yan Po and Ye Chuxiao and said, "There will also be more Heroes Yan coming to help regardless of their past grievances, and little Brother Ye running to help."
Ye Chuxiao looked at Lu Baimei's state and seemed to know something, so he asked: "Lu Shenzhao! Dare I ask... Do you have any clues about who will come to kill you?"
Lu Baimei said: "If you two hadn't mentioned this matter, I wouldn't have thought of it. Being in a public house, one would have many grudges, and it would be common to die unexpectedly. But... there is one thing that makes me very sad.
care."
"That is, before Jin Shenqing left Shenjing, he asked someone to bring me a tips bag and asked me to keep it close to him. He only said that if he was in trouble, he asked me to open the tips bag and help him."
"After Jin Shen was arrested and imprisoned, I opened the bag of tips, but it was empty."
Ye Chuxiao secretly thought: "Sure enough, it has something to do with Jin Buyi."
"What did Jin Buyi do?" Because he didn't block it deliberately, Ying Shu's voice came out from the bottom of Ye Chuxiao's heart.
Ye Chuxiao ignored Ying Shu.
Ying Shu can see the world from his perspective and participate in some activities.
But if Ying Shu wanted to directly read Ye Chuxiao's consciousness and thoughts, she would never be able to do so.
Thirty percent of the heart elixir cannot break the clown's mental armor.
"Is there something invisible hidden inside? For example, a special memory, or a void spirit, etc.?" Ye Chuxiao asked Lu Baimei.
Lu Baimei shook his head and said: "If these things are true, even though I am injured, I won't be able to discover them."
"No matter what it is, after tonight, there will be an answer." Yan Po said, holding the knife.
Ye Chuxiao said: "I don't think so. We are here. The people who have to deal with Lu Shenju will come or not. After all..."
"They are already here!" Yan Po said.
After saying that, he held his knife and stood up suddenly.
I saw a gust of dark wind suddenly blowing from the lake not far away, and then I saw a black carriage speeding across the water, coming on the wind as if it were real or fake.
"Ghost cultivator?"
"No! It's a resentful spirit!" Ying Shu said from the bottom of Ye Chuxiao's heart.
The carriage stopped beside the flowers. The thin ghost horse, with eyes flashing with will-o'-the-wisps, stared at the three people at the banquet.
"Give me back my life!" A shrill, deep voice came from the carriage.
A man who looked like an honest man stepped out of the carriage with a look of resentment on his face.
Then two more old men, a woman, and three children stepped out of the carriage.
Their figures were all erratic, their eyes were burning with will-o'-the-wisps, their faces were blue, and the air of resentment lingered around them. After seeing Lu Baimei, it gradually became stronger.
"Seven members of the Xie family!" Lu Baimei's expression changed when she saw these seven resentful souls.
But Yan Po, who was originally full of sword intent, was frozen in place.
He could have easily chopped these seven resentful souls apart with one strike of his sword.
But at this moment, the knife in his hand was heavier than the three mountains combined.
Ye Chuxiao already understood the method Jin Buyi used to kill Lu Baimei.
A gentleman can be deceived.
Yan Po and Lu Baimei can both be called gentlemen.
Therefore, in the face of Jin Buji's "passing the blame", Yan Po, who may have known the "truth", chose to deal with it silently.
Lu Baimei, on the other hand, was always unable to deal with the evil spirits of the seven Xie family members, and was eventually killed by the seven evil spirits who gnawed their internal organs.
Jin Buyi took advantage of these seven innocent souls and plotted to kill Yan Po and Lu Baimei.
"It's just, what did Jin Buyi give to Lu Baimei that made him want to kill him in such a vicious way?" Ye Chuxiao was confused.
"Give me back my life!"
"Give me back my life!" The seven wronged souls stared at Lu Baimei and persistently made such a sound.
They are not really the souls of the seven Xie family members after their death, but the resentment and obsession of the seven Xie family members that have not dissipated after death, and are transformed into special wronged souls under the refinement of caring people.
If they weren't targeting Yan Po and Lu Baimei, even an ordinary energy-level monk could easily crush them.
Of course, Ye Chuxiao could easily disperse these seven evil souls, but at this time, Yan Po, who was invited, became a constraint.
Therefore, Ye Chuxiao did not act recklessly.
"Brother! They are not the seven members of the Xie family, but innocent souls who have been exploited and refined by people with malicious intentions. Allowing them to exist would be a greater insult and harm to the seven members of the Xie family." Ye Chuxiao said to Yan Po.
When Yan Po heard this, he turned around and looked towards the direction where the evil spirit was coming.
Ye Chuxiao smiled.
Although Yan Po persisted, he was not as pedantic as he thought.
"Let them come over!"
"I've been suffering for too long and this might be a relief."
"Although they are not the real seven members of the Xie family, they were born from the resentment of the seven members of the Xie family. Being killed by them may be my destiny." Lu Baimei stopped Ye Chuxiao and said.
Yan Po suddenly turned around and looked at Lu Baimei: "Brother Lu! Why are you doing this?"
Lu Baimei gradually smiled and said: "Life and death are nothing but trivial matters. Not having peace of mind is a big matter."
"If I can be liberated here and look for the next life, maybe I can go further, but it's not necessarily true."
Ye Chuxiao stared at Lu Baimei closely, instinctively making him feel something was wrong.
Lu Baimei can be a righteous man who is chivalrous and upholds justice. There is nothing wrong with that.
Some people are dirty and despicable as officials, but it cannot be denied that some people are really dedicated to serving the public and are selfless.
However, Lu Baimei is a divine catcher, and this position... comes not just from his cultivation.
He has killed many criminals, fought bloody battles with his colleagues, and experienced life and death... How could he have such a fragile mentality?
"Unless he's mentally disturbed."
"It's Jin Buyi! There's something wrong with Jin Buyi's kit."
"What on earth did he put in that bag? How could he let such a great man be captured and fall into such a situation?" Ye Chuxiao thought to himself.
This answer can only be known if Lu Baimei is alive.
So Ye Chuxiao didn't hesitate and said quickly: "Dragon King! Dragon Queen! Please, please pester Lu Shenzai. I will save those wronged souls."
Lu Baimei and Yan Po felt guilty towards the seven members of the Xie family, but he, Ye Chuxiao, did not!
The two swords transformed by the Dragon King and the Dragon Queen were ‘unsheathed’ behind Ye Chuxiao with a clatter, and then they were wrapped around Lu Baimei.
Ye Chuxiao had already pounced on the seven wronged souls of the Xie family.
To deal with the injustice, Ye Chuxiao took out two thunder talismans and sprinkled them.
The thunder with the strong energy of Yang Fire struck at the seven wronged souls, trying to drive them away.
"Kill people! Destroy their souls! Let their souls fly away!"
"Lu Baimei! You are so cruel!"
"Yan Po... you falsely claim to be a swordsman, how hypocritical!" A voice that suddenly sounded far and near floated in the sky above Lu Mansion, making it difficult for people to locate his location.
At the same time, invisible power came like ripples, blocking Ye Chuxiao's two thunder talismans.
Ye Chuxiao had no intention of relying on his own ability to entangle or test. He directly took out the jade pendant given by Shi Huang and triggered the first attack. At the same time, he also sent a message to Shi Huang.
After all, Shi Huang's jade pendant was activated in Shenjing City. Ye Chuxiao didn't believe that Shi Huang didn't know about it and didn't notice it.
