Chapter 22

Bai Zeqing followed the formula to calm down and calm down, and sure enough, she could hear the voices from the side room.

At this time, the judge was reporting the case.

Hearing the results of the autopsy from the general judge, Bai Zeqing wondered: "This job...is it possible? There are many beautiful wives and beautiful concubines in the house of the lord, and he just redeemed the new oiran of Panyue Tower a few years ago. He lived a happy life." How nourishing, what reason is there to commit suicide? Why don’t you come to Tingquan Temple and hang yourself? It’s unreasonable!”

The Taoist said indifferently: "No."

"Eh?" His guess was answered in the affirmative, Bai Zeqing hurriedly tugged at the Taoist priest's robe, bleated two steps closer, and said, "Right, right, Master saw something strange?"

"Not someone who just died."

"Huh? Master, you don't need an autopsy to know?"

"There is no living soul." The Taoist had just discovered this on Meishan, so he came closer, wanting to investigate more carefully.

"Live... a soul?"

The Taoist's voice was deep: "People who have just died have souls that are still alive. No souls can be seen around the prefect's body or even in the entire Tingquan Temple."

It can be seen that this person must not have just died.

It's so cold in broad daylight!Bai Zeqing couldn't help but flinched, and couldn't help looking around cautiously.

At this time, her sky eyes were not open, so naturally she couldn't see anything.But it didn't prevent her from feeling the wind blowing, so she quietly moved two more steps towards the Taoist priest.

Bai Zeqing thought: No matter how used to the Taoist way of speaking, I still can't help the cold in the vest and the hairs stand on end.

She stood almost close to the Taoist priest, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus lingered on the tip of her nose. She immediately felt a sense of security, and her mind began to turn again.

"It's not a person who just died, so it's more likely that he didn't commit suicide! That's reasonable."

"Then the question is, who killed the prefect of Yuanzhou and why?"

"Whatever the reason, at least now the case cannot be closed with suicide."

What's wrong?The Taoist frowned slightly as he listened to Bai Zeqing muttering to himself, the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Bai Zeqing started to act while talking to himself.

She didn't have time to find a pen and paper, so she skillfully tore off a strip of cloth from the corner of her skirt, quickly tore a handful of camphor leaves, wrapped them into a tight ball, and wrote "Not a new death, not a suicide" in the juice. Six words, and then wrapped a stone in it with cloth strips, and then threw it vigorously in the direction of Huo Erye under the pine tree.

Fortunately, when she was young, she followed Su Qi on horseback and archery, and she was still accurate.

I saw that the stone smashed directly to Huo Erye's head with the sound of breaking through the air.

"Damn it! Don't break it!" Bai Zeqing said to himself. In previous years, he had heard from his elder sister and brother-in-law that the second master was not in good health.

Huo Erye was talking to Liu Yuanpan next to him, seemingly unaware of the incoming danger.

The maid standing beside her suddenly raised her hand, swung the folding fan violently, and knocked on the stone with a "ding".

Then she let out a "huh", and the folding fan opened with a "wow", and Qiao Jiner picked up the stone that was about to be blown away on the fan.

All this happened in just a moment, when Bai Zeqing was stunned by the maid's sharp skill, the maid had already handed the folding fan to Erye Huo with both hands.

Second Master Huo looked back at this moment, and with just one glance, he could already see the words written on the cloth with the juice of leaves.He immediately looked in Bai Zeqing's direction, there was a medicine garden, the grass and trees moved slightly in the breeze, nothing unusual.

He frowned and lifted his chin.The maid immediately put away the folding fan, unfolded the cloth, and put her hands in front of Master Huo.

Huo Erye flicked it lightly, and after whispering a few words with Liu Yuanjuan, he handed over the cloth to Liu Yuanjuan.

Watching Liu Yuanshang enter the wing room, Second Master Huo covered his mouth and coughed twice, before slowly saying: "Pretending to be smart."

The maid smiled coquettishly, and asked sweetly: "Second Lord, is this servant going to take a look?"

Second Master Huo waved his hand and said with a smile: "No need, it will be delivered to your door. Why bother." After saying that, he raised his hand, and the maid hurriedly supported him. Second Master Huo said, "Let's go."

"Let's not make a conclusion, Second Master, shall we leave now?"

"It's not too busy to watch, come back." Huo Erye walked slowly, and waved again.The butler immediately stepped forward to obey.

Huo Erye said: "You go ahead and prepare, there are distinguished guests today." After a pause, he said, "Let the stewards of several grain stores come over."

When Liu Yuan came out again, he no longer saw Second Master Huo and his party. He looked around and murmured: "Hey, this man..."

……

Bai Zeqing felt relieved when he watched Liu Yuanshang enter the wing to report.

The Taoist quietly watched Bai Zeqing do this, and asked, "Know you?"

Bai Zeqing looked at Erye Huo who was slowly walking down the mountain with the help of the maid, nodded, and said, "Well, it's from the eldest sister's husband's family."

Simple acquaintance, unfamiliarity, just luck.There is no other way.Bai Zeqing added another sentence in her heart.

Bai Zeqing's character is too detached.The eldest sister, Bai Zeyi, was born of the eldest wife Li, she has always been virtuous and virtuous, every time she sees her doing something out of character, she will always preach for a long time in a serious manner, making Bai Zeqing always avoid her shadow whenever she sees her shadow.

Thinking of how she crawled into the yard from the dog hole and just crawled under the feet of her eldest sister, and then she was punished to stay at home and write with her second brother for a whole month, she felt sore now thinking about it.

Since then, she has to finish her homework every day before going out, and she can't be shaken.In Bai Zeqing's heart, the eldest sister is stricter than her parents and wife combined.

So after the eldest sister got married, she would definitely not go to the eldest sister's house unless necessary.Therefore, she only met this Second Master Huo a few times during the New Year's Eve and was not familiar with him.

The Taoist just asked casually, nodded, noncommittal.

He was thinking about other things - he was not sure, this case involved living souls, did this matter fall under the jurisdiction of the Tianyu Division?After all, he doesn't care much about mundane affairs.But his perception tells him that this matter is not simple, if he doesn't find out the truth, there may be troubles later.

He looked at the girl next to him who was also frowning and thinking, and suddenly had an idea, and said: "So, as my Taoist boy, you will stay here and find out the truth."

"Me?" Bai Zeqing looked at Wang Chi who was talking to Shi Yu, then at the black-armored cavalry fighting outside, and swallowed.

She wanted to say she couldn't do it.But she had a vague feeling that this matter might have something to do with the Ningzhou matter?The refugees are all from the three prefectures of Xisha, and there may be very few refugees left in Ningzhou, but she feels that she can't leave it alone.

"Master, I can find out what's going on at this time, can you teach me that puppet, puppet spirit technique?"

"Don't teach!" The Taoist refused decisively.Then throw a token, a brocade bag and two books to her.

Before Bai Zeqing had time to be disappointed, he was slapped on the face.

What is this?

"Yanshu Collection"?
After seeing the big three words on the first book, she hurriedly flipped through the second book: "Puppet Spirit Art"!
Her eyes widened, her mind was still a little dazed, and she heard the Taoist's three words fluttering down: "Learn by yourself."

Bai Zeqing: "???"

 Well, Daoist Master started selling books...
