[2] I was slaughtering blood for three thousand li. I was thinking about something so big that I couldn't hide it. But, Xu Qi'an, I tell you, this case is very strange.

[I've been flying for three days and three nights at the border of Chuzhou, but I haven't found the location of blood butcher for three thousand li. But I found one thing very strange. Well, I met a small group of barbarian cavalry at the border. I killed them and summoned their souls to inquire. I found that they didn't know about "killing three thousand li with blood". 】

Li Miaozhen went northward directly by flying sword, which was much faster than Xu Qi'an. If we had to compare, one would take a plane, the other would take a cruise ship, a carriage and a walk.

Xu Qian typed in the information: "I already know about this matter. This case is not as simple as it seems.

make complaints about three thousand miles of blood. It's not really killing three thousand miles.

Li Miaozhen's shocked reply: "ah? Do you know that? It's you. 】

it's not as amazing as you think. I'm just like you. You killed the barbarian cavalry, but I killed the barbarian bigwig......

[do you have any other discoveries? 】

Li Miaozhen sent a letter to reply: "yes, I found that the goods in Chuzhou are very cheap. Whether it's staying in an inn, eating, or buying other things, five Liang silver can take a long time. In the capital of Dafeng, five taels of silver disappeared in an instant. 】

What are you talking about..... Xu Qi'an's face was confused, and it took a few seconds to react. Li Miaozhen's words were simplified as follows: the Wowotou here cost four yuan.

So what do you mean by this, feeling about the cheap prices in Chuzhou? Or to vent your shopping desire as a woman?

Xu Qi'an frowned and handed down the message: "Miaozhen, I don't quite understand what you mean. 】

Li Miaozhen replied: "generally speaking, if there is a war in a region, the price of local grain will soar. However, I checked the grain prices of several counties in Chuzhou and found that although there were ups and downs, there was little difference. 】

Xu Qi'an understood that she meant that the prices in Chuzhou were still stable, which showed that although the barbarians invaded the border, burned, killed and plundered, it was only a relatively small area compared with the eight thousand mile area of Chuzhou.

[3] is the city not occupied? 】

[2: I didn't see it. Moreover, if the border cities were occupied, the barbarians would not only plunder the border, but dare not go deep into the hinterland of Chuzhou. 】

"in the case of not attacking the city and pulling out the land, we only plunder the people on the border, never go deep into the enemy's hinterland. Well, this is because we are afraid of being made dumplings. I probably understand why in ancient times we had to go to the city to fight. If the city is not taken down, it will never be bypassed, because it is tantamount to giving the back to the enemy. "

When Xu Qi'an was a child watching TV dramas, he always felt that the ancient people had lost their mind. Why did they have to fight against one city? He went around it and attacked the next city, even to the capital.

The world of children is always so simple..... He sighed, and saw Li Miaozhen's biography:

[Xu Qi'an, now I doubt whether the blood slaughter of three thousand li is true. I don't know how to find out. 】

you can also feel li Miaozhen's helplessness and irritability through the book.

She chatted with Xu Qian in private this time just to ask him how to continue the investigation.

It's not impossible for Li Miaozhen to doubt that the case of blood slaughtering three thousand li was caused by a ghost, a ghost of unknown identity and origin.

Well, if you think about it, is it too rash for Duke Wei, the Lords of the imperial court and Emperor Jing of the Yuan Dynasty to decide?

Although this case is definitely to be investigated, it's a bit exaggerating to send a mission directly. In normal operation, a small number of people should be sent to investigate the situation, or even secret agents should be sent to investigate......

however, the case of blood slaughter three thousand li does not exist, so what's the explanation for the ghost?

Li Miaozhen ran into this corpse on the roadside. If it wasn't for her, she happened to be a Taoist disciple and knew how to summon spirits. In a few days, the soul of the dead would disappear.

So the possibility of artificial arrangement is not great.

The dead man was a northerner. He went all the way to the capital for suing the emperor because of the blood slaughter. But he was intercepted and killed 80 miles away from the capital.

In fact, I don't have a particularly good idea...... will this answer make my great and tall image lose points in Li Miaozhen's heart?

After pondering for a long time, Xu Qi'an had a train of thought and handed down a message: "Miaozhen, the corpse you found on the roadside is a member of the Jianghu, right. 】

[2: Well, this is your analysis. 】

[3: have you ever thought that if such a big event really happened in Beijing, who would impeach Zhenbei king at the first time? 】

[2: of course, the officials in the north, well, the officials in the area where blood slaughtered three thousand li. 】

[3: bangbangda, why did you find the corpse of a person in the Jianghu? 】

[2: Bang Bang Da? 】

[3: This is not the point. The point is, why are they the corpses of the people in the Jianghu? ]Li Miaozhen has rich experience in this field. He sent a letter to reply: "it's normal for people in the world to go to Beijing to sue the emperor when they see the tragedy. 】

with a smile, Xu Qi'an said: "if it is like this, he will not be intercepted at all. Everyone will notice a person in the river and lake. Correspondingly, even if he arrives in the capital, he can't tell the emperor without any reason.

[I don't want to tell you about the shady scenes in the complaint. Just on the matter of fact, a man sued a prince without evidence? Believe me, the court can't deal with it. 】

at this point, Xu Qi'an's doubts reappeared in his mind. Therefore, whether it was Emperor Yuan Jing, Duke Wei, or all the princes of the imperial court, they all seemed to be a little hasty in sending the mission to the North....

Li Miaozhen was very clever. After his advice, he immediately understood it and sent a letter saying: "you mean, local officials actually wrote a letter to impeach them, but they were impeached In case of an accident, the hero was sent to the capital to complain. He may have some Keepsake on him, so he was intercepted. 】

after analysis, Li Miaozhen suddenly realized that he had a clear mind and a clear mind.

In fact, I have some thoughts myself, but it's not smooth enough. After he mentioned it, I finally figured it out..... Li Miao said sincerely, and then subconsciously passed on the book:

[then how can I check? 】

after sending the message, she regretted it and said to herself: Li Miaozhen, Li Miaozhen, you are too independent. It seems that you are an incompetent woman and need to depend on him!

As she reflected angrily, she was staring at the mirror.

[3: simply, you hide your identity as the saint of Tianzong, and walk in the rivers and lakes of Chuzhou as the Feiyan nvxia. It's better to do more chivalrous things. 】

Li Miaozhen was moved in his heart, [you mean......]

Xu Qi'an wrote: "we have always ignored the person behind the" roadside dead ". The person behind must be in trouble, so we will let the people in the river and lake send messages. If he's alive, he must be hiding somewhere, waiting for news.

[he doesn't have to go to the mission. Hehe, as soon as the mission enters the northern border, it will be watched at all levels. Even Huai Wang's family is fishing with the mission. Compared with the mission, I think he is more likely to find some well-known swordsmen. This can be verified by the lost hero.

[of course, the premise of all this is that the person who wants to sue is still alive. 】

Yes, I didn't expect it could be like this... It's you! Li Miaozhen's eyes were shining, and he said: "I understand. I'll contact you when I have a clue. 】

Xu Qi'an immediately sent a message: [OK, I have another thing to ask. Well, before death, people have a mental breakdown and lose their sense, and they can't communicate after soul summoning. Can they recover? How long will it take? 】

there was silence for a few seconds, and Li Miaozhen replied: "is the soul complete? 】

Xu Qi'an said: "the three spirits are complete. 】

Why did he take the body with him that day? In order to reunite the spirits of the white warlock in seven days, the human soul will overflow from the corpse and merge with the two spirits of heaven and man.

At this time, the soul will get rid of the ignorant state, which is the same as before.

The dead man that Li Miaozhen found by the roadside should have suffered heavy damage before his death, so he was incomplete. Because the murderer was a warrior, he was not good at destroying souls, so he left the ghost.

It's easy to do. It's a matter of three or two days. 】

[3: it's not urgent. Let's wait until we get together. 】

after the biography, Xu Qi'an finished his gruel, hid the fragments of the book and walked out of the cave.

"I've finished."

Said the princess, who threw away the roast chicken secretly.

Xu Qi'an let out a "um", pretending not to find her little action, walking side by side with her on the mountain path.

In addition to the occasional sound of "Haloxylon" in the grass on both sides, which startles the princess, she still likes this kind of environment close to nature.

Who on earth is the princess? She has a spirit in her body? Oh, in this case, I am the monkey king.

Master, eat my grandson!

Ha ha ha... Xu Qi'an can't help but raise his mouth.

As they approached Sanhuang County, there were more villages around them. Xu Qi'an and the princess ate lunch at the farmhouse, with a bowl of porridge and a pile of pickles for each.

There are five people in this family, two old people, a couple and a child.

Living in a adobe house, wearing patchy old clothes, the old man is bony and the children are sallow.

They sat in the courtyard eating lunch, ear came the voice of the children in the hall: "mother, I'm hungry."

"It's already eaten." Said the woman in a low voice.

"There used to be a bowl. Why is there only half a bowl today?" The child said wrongly.

"We have guests today. You can't die of hunger if you eat less." The man in charge scolded.

The child was afraid of his father and did not dare to speak with his head down."The people in the north are very hospitable..."

The Princess whispered, "look at their family. They are destitute. I guess they have porridge and can't afford white rice."

After staying in the capital for a long time, I almost forgot what people's livelihood is..... Xu Qi'an sighed in his heart, but said: "isn't this a very normal thing, you expect them to have a big meal? It would be nice to have enough to eat. "

The princess pursed her lips and whispered, "do you have any silver with you?"

There must be. All my belongings are in the fragments of the book... Xu Qi'an understood her meaning and said, "do you want to ask me to borrow money?"

She nodded.

"How much?" Asked Xu Qian.

The princess pondered, said: "one hundred Liang, also can't give too much, will expose our identity."

Looking at her stiff face, she said: "how many words?"

"Here, too much? That, that fifty-two. " She blinked her big, beautiful eyes.

The black sheep... Xu Qi'an slapped her in the heart and said in a deep voice: "one coin, no more."

Shouldn't the spring return the favor of others? The princess looked at him in surprise and frowned, "I'll pay you back. Don't be so stingy."

Xu Qi'an sighed: "we are in a bad situation. It's a lot of money to give us. No matter how much, it's unreasonable. The people of Zhenbei Wang, or the spies of the north, just touch here and ask casually, and we will be exposed. "

And a coin, no more, no less, is enough for this poor family to eat meat for a few days.

The princess nodded and accepted Xu Qian's statement. Xu Ningyan was thoughtful and convinced.

Then, with a happy expression on her face: "in Sanhuang County, I want to take a bath, and I can't stand the sour smell on my body."

Xu Qi'an ignored her and sat on the small bench in the yard. Looking at the blue sky, she said: "I want to drink yogurt after dinner."

...

after he finished his porridge, he called the man in charge and said: "thank you. I brought... To visit relatives in the city, but I didn't have anything on me..."

Xu Qi'an took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the man: "little heart."

"This, this..." the man was shocked. He saw copper money, but rarely silver.

Two people a burst of push and shove, the princess stands at one side, looking at Xu Qian serious and man reason, in the heart inexplicable pleasure, the corner of the mouth tilted.

A man with human feelings, though lustful, is better than those big men who are full of scheming, cruel and bloodthirsty.

After they left, the man returned to the hall with broken silver in his hands and a look of excitement, presenting it to his family like a treasure.

"He, they have left silver." Said the man aloud.

The old man stretched out his trembling hand and touched the child's head. "I'll ask my father to buy you meat tomorrow."

The faces of the members of this poor family showed sincere and grateful joy.

......

"why didn't you introduce me just now?"

Walking on the official road, the princess said angrily.

"What?" Xu Qian didn't respond.

Princess Deng Deng Deng came up, staring, "you said to visit relatives in the city, just ignore me, hum!"

Xu Qian thought of it and asked, "how do you think I can introduce you? My wife, you don't deserve my handsome face. It's too far fetched to talk about my sister. I don't think she was born. Let's talk about servant girls. It's not suitable for us to be down and out. "

"Then say I'm your aunt." The princess pinched her waist.

"Go away! Why don't you say it's grandma. " Xu Qi'an is not angry.

Before dusk, they came to Sanhuang County, but they didn't go to the city immediately. Instead, they drank a cup of herbal tea in the shed outside the city. When they got to Sanhuang County, they really came to the north.

In Sanhuang County, Xu Qi'an can see the watchman's dark son and ask for information.

Sanhuang county is a small county with a population of less than 100000. When they entered the city, they were interrogated and asked to show their official guide.

The princess suddenly became nervous. She counseled half of them first. She knew that she had no guide and could not stand the investigation.

What to do? She can't get into the city now. Her heart suddenly pulls up, which means that she will continue to travel a long way, and it also means that Xu Qi'an can't investigate the case.

For a moment, I just felt that the future was slim.

"Yes, yes."

With a smile, Xu Qian took out the official book and handed it respectfully.

The soldier who guarded the city glanced at Xu Qian and said, "go in."

The princess lowered her head and followed Xu Qi'an with small steps until the gate of the city was away. She was relieved and said:"Where did you get the guide?"

"I went out to rob you while you were sleeping. I became a thief." Xu Qi an light way.

The princess's eyes and eyebrows turned. Then she heard Xu Qian sigh and said, "the situation is not optimistic. Your husband's people know that I went north alone."

“?”

A question mark flashed in the princess's mind. It's deceiving. They went north all the way, furtively, without revealing half a point. How could the people of huaiwang know that Xu Ningyan went north?

And how does Qi an know.

Smart as she is, she can't see a clue.

"But they didn't know you were with me." Xu Qian said again.

"How to say..." The princess pursed her mouth, her head on her side, her eyes staring at her, and asked for advice with an open mind.

She has always liked to hear the story of Xu Qi'an solving the case, and talked about it with relish. When she heard the highlights, she clapped the case and exclaimed. Of course, the princess of these hobbies never told Xu Qi'an.
