Chapter 869

In the morning, Jinwu rises to the East.

In the courtyard, willows swayed in the wind, and two white figures sat under the willows, talking and laughing. Men's demeanor was excellent, and women were elegant and virtuous.

At this time, Xiaoqing in the wing room woke up and thought of some absurd things last night. It felt like a dream.

However, a pool of Yin Hong on the bed told her that it was not a dream.

Hearing the sound of talking and laughing in the courtyard, Xiaoqing was a little nervous. Knowing that it was impossible to escape, she had to wear clothes lazily. When she opened the door, she saw the two most important beings in the courtyard.

Seeing Bai Suzhen's gentle smile, Xiaoqing was more nervous and didn't dare to see mu Qingxiao. Pink lips gently said, "sister, I..."

"Xiaoqing, it's our blessing to be with our husband."

Hearing the speech, Xiaoqing pursed her mouth, her eyes were slightly red, and rushed into Bai Suzhen's arms with the fragrance.

Seeing this, mu Qingxiao's eyes are full of joy.

Bai Suzhen hugged Xiaoqing and said helplessly, "you little girl, you shouted so loudly last night. Go back to your room and have more time to rest."

As soon as the words fell, a crimson rushed up Xiaoqing's charming cheeks, pursed pink lips, and apricot eyes glared at mu Qingxiao.

Mu Qingxiao smiled and said, "su'er, your voice is not necessarily lower than Xiaoqing."

Hearing his words, Bai Suzhen was stunned, and her cheeks turned crimson. Yu's hand couldn't help pinching mu Qingxiao's waist.

……

Over time, a month slipped away.

A month ago, the residence of Xu Hanwen, the newly appointed fifth grade official of the imperial court, turned into ruins and set off an earthquake in Hangzhou.

For such an inexplicable thing, the people in Hangzhou talked about it one after another, wondering whether Xu Xian had done something that made heaven angry and people resent, so that heaven would bring justice.

In this regard, Xu Jiaorong was devastated.

Li Gongfu didn't have any way. He was just a small constable. He didn't have enough to intervene in the affairs of the imperial court, let alone the ability to investigate privately.

Helpless, Li Gongfu took Xu Jiaorong to Jinshan Temple to offer incense to protect the safety of his relatives.

A month later, Xu Xian's deeds became a topic for the people in Hangzhou to pass the time.

After all, Xu Xian's deeds are too strange.

Originally, he was just an apprentice in a medicine shop. Suddenly, he was very rich and powerful. He was paid a high official salary and received a gift from the Lord, but he turned into ashes after only enjoying it for a week. He didn't even leave his body.

Originally, they all thought that such a big event would be investigated by the imperial court

As time went on, to their surprise, the Imperial Court seemed to ignore the matter, and there was no news in the capital.

As for the county magistrate in Hangzhou, he didn't dare to take care of it. He didn't dare to be smart without an order.

At this time, in the center of Hangzhou City, in front of Xu's house turned into ruins, three figures stand here.

Among them, the graceful lady is Xu Jiaorong, Xu Xian's sister, and the man is Li Gongfu.

In front of them was an old monk wearing a red cassock, holding a Buddhist staff in his left hand, a basin in his right hand and a string of Buddha beads around his neck.

The old monk, named Fahai, is the abbot of Jinshan Temple. After Xu Jiaorong learned about Xu Xian, he secretly guessed that there were demons. He came from Jinshan Temple to subdue demons and eliminate demons.

Looking at the ruins in front of him, Fahai frowned. Although a month has passed and the devastated ruins have been hit by wind and rain, there is still some evil spirit left.

"What kind of deep hatred is it to lay such a poisonous hand on a mortal!"

With his eyesight, one can see that a monk smashed the whole mansion with one palm. Judging from the remaining evil spirit, it must be demon repair.

Xu Jiaorong's face turned pale when she heard the speech. If it hadn't been for Li Gongfu's help, she would have been paralyzed on the ground.

"Host, you must decide for Chinese!"

With a sigh, Fahai could not tolerate the evil spirits. He dared to kill the imperial court officials. His behavior was too bad and completely interfered with the lives of secular residents.

Although he knew that there was something strange about Xu Xian being an official.

Then Fahai asked Xu Jiaorong and his wife if Xu Xian had offended anyone a month ago, and asked about their living habits and footprints.

"After the master took office, he hardly left home except for daily entertainment, but..."

It was a young man in Xu's house. On that day, his old mother was bedridden, so he hurried back to see him. He didn't know that he had escaped a disaster. Up to now, he feels endless fear.

Dozens of people, including Xu Xian, in the whole Xu mansion, evaporated overnight, which made him feel terrified.

"But what?"

Seeing that the boy wanted to talk and stop, Fahai asked with a serious face.

The boy shrunk his head and said, "however, at the beginning, a Taoist came to the house. Later, the master ordered the villain to look for a woman's residence."

Fahai frowned. Now, except for the evil spirit in the ruins, he didn't find any clues. Maybe the Taoist priest and woman in the young man's mouth are clues.

"Taoist? Why is Xu Xian looking for that woman?"

Hearing the speech, the young man looked at Mr. and Mrs. Xu Jiaorong and whispered, "it seems that the master has a crush on the girl and has given the villain a lot of benefits. Let the villain keep it a secret."

Fahai looked at Xu Jiaorong and his wife and obviously felt their changes. He said, "do you know the origin of the Taoist priest?"

Li Gongfu stepped forward and said, "if you return to the master, the Taoist claimed to be Taoist priest Wang Daoling of Maoshan. I saw that he had some skills, so I asked him to come to the house to see a doctor in Chinese. I didn't expect such a thing..."

"Where is the Taoist now?"

Li Gongfu shook his head slightly. He once led people to look for the Taoist priest, but he almost searched the whole Hangzhou city and found no figure of the latter.

Fahai sighed, and such an important clue was broken. It seems that he can only find the woman in the young man's mouth first.

Moreover, he had a faint premonition that Xu Xian's death might be related to the woman. This feeling was even inexplicable to him.

"Do you know where the woman is?"

"Yes, if they haven't left, they will live in the nearest restaurant near the West Lake in Hangzhou." because Xu Xian once asked him to inquire, the boy also pays attention to their news from time to time.

Knowing the woman's residence, Fahai nodded slightly, asked the boy to lead the way, and said to Xu Jiaorong's wife, "you two go back first. If it's really a demon, there may be danger. I can go alone."

As soon as the words fell, the young man walking in front was stiff and hesitant.

Fahai said seriously, "you can leave after you take me there."

"OK, OK."

Soon, under the leadership of Xiaosi, Fahai came to the separate courtyard where mu Qingxiao, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing lived.
