Chapter 22
After high school, Liu Zifeng was transferred from the capital to Fengcheng, a remote place. Although he knew a lot in the officialdom, he always dismissed the theory of ghosts and gods.

In the official circles, there have been rumors of the master's ability to reach the sky, saying that he used the power of the gods to avoid disasters again and again in the Mo country, and at the same time protect the health of His Majesty's dragon body.

It is also because of this that most officials in the capital and even the whole country, headed by the current emperor, regard the national teacher as a god.

The Xiao family, who has made great military exploits, has always believed in fighting with seeing is believing, so because of a word from the national teacher, they were expelled from Beijing by His Majesty in a semi-exile, and went to this border city to take care of military affairs.

Even in this remote place, the legend of the national teacher is circulating, because of his powerful ability to change fate against the sky, many people in the Mo country respect this kind of extraordinary man.

The previous Liu Zifeng was also like the Xiao family, he didn't believe in any rumors about ghosts and ghosts at all, in his opinion it was just a trick to bluff people.

But after seeing the little girl's ability today, he overturned his belief for so many years.

"Just tell me what you want to ask."

Su Qingtian licked the peach cake dregs in the palm of her hand, and finally burped when she was full.

A pair of big dark eyes looked at Liu Zifeng flickeringly.

Seeing that the little girl seemed to be in a very good mood, Liu Zifeng seized the opportunity to ask questions.

"Wang Liu really used that black talisman to turn Wang Mang into a mummy?"

This question also aroused Xiao Yichen's interest, he looked down at the little man in his arms.

Su Qingtian shook her head, and Xiao Yichen's chin was itchy with two tugging.

She took out the black talisman she had been holding in her hand just now and handed it to Liu Zifeng, explaining slowly.

"The black talisman is just a medium to take Wang Mang's life. What turned him into a mummy was actually a wooden plaque with Cousin Nan's name engraved on it."

"Wang Mang used his blood to support the wooden tablet for 49 days, which also means that his fate is connected with the wooden tablet."

"When he threw the wooden card into the Xiao Mansion and found Cousin Nan, all the longevity and luck absorbed by the wooden card will be automatically transferred to Wang Mang himself through Wang Mang's blood inside the wooden card."

Liu Zifeng nodded, and the little girl explained very clearly that although he still couldn't 100% believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, there are indeed traces of cause and effect.

"Master Liu, you should remember that the police said that Wang Mang had wine with his neighbor Old Man Tang last night."

"That's because he won a lot of money in the casino yesterday, and these fortunes are the result of stealing cousin Nan."

Liu Zifeng had a flash of inspiration, "You mean, every gain must be lost?"

Su Qingtian looked at the clever Liu Zifeng with a satisfied smile, and gave the result directly.

"Last night, the wooden sign engraved with Cousin Nan's birthday was destroyed, which would lead to backlash of the spell. Wang Mang immediately realized that his life was not long, so he went crazy and wrote Xiao's characters all over the room with his own blood. "

"However, he can be regarded as a loyal pawn, and he will try his best to complete the tasks entrusted to him by the people behind the scenes until his death."

When King Jin was mentioned, Xiao Yichen's face darkened.

This murder case was over for Liu Zifeng, but it was the beginning of the real trouble for the Xiao family.

With King Jin's means, he would never let Wang Mang alone in Fengcheng to take the opportunity to murder the Xiao family, but he didn't know how many seemingly ordinary people in this city were waiting to kill everyone in the Xiao family.

"Because of backlash, Wang Mang's life essence was sucked clean by the wooden plaque, and finally became a mummy."

Liu Zifeng followed Su Qingtian's words and gave the answer, but there was still one thing he hadn't figured out.

"What about Wang Liu's black talisman?"

"The black talisman can also be said to be a life-threatening talisman." Su Qingtian pointed to the black talisman in Liu Zifeng's hand, "It will take three days for the wooden card to backfire, which means that Wang Mang should have died after three days."

"But Wang Liu's black talisman accelerated Wang Mang's death, allowing him to die at home this morning."

After this explanation, not only Liu Zifeng, but even Xiao Yichen was horrified.

Fortunately, the little girl found the black talisman, and through the black talisman, Wang Liushi successfully pleaded guilty. Otherwise, I don’t know when this bizarre case will be investigated, and I don’t know how to write the final file, so that the case can be submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice for review. .

Thinking of the little girl helping him so much, Liu Zifeng hastily tore off the purse from his waist and stuffed it into Su Qingtian's hand.

Su Qingtian held the purse in both hands, weighing the weight secretly, her eyes were fascinated.

Before changing it, she didn't bother to accept such vulgar things as gifts, but now she has too much stature, and she needs to eat a lot of food to replenish her physical strength if she uses her spiritual power a little bit.

In order not to starve to death on the street, and to prevent Master from seeing her jokes, of course she readily accepted it.

Xiao Yichen originally thought that the little girl would refuse and be ashamed to accept it, but just as she was about to persuade her subordinate Master Liu of his kindness, she saw Su Qingtian stuff the money bag directly into her sleeve.

The pink and tender little face bloomed with a smile, and the two little dimples were even more sweet.

Following Su Qingtian's movements, Xiao Yichen's eyes fell on her light cuffs.

Seeing that she only took one meat bun to eat before, she thought that the yamen servant didn't take Liu Zifeng's words to heart, and only bought two meat buns to throw away, thinking that she would go out to the Wang's courtyard and take the little girl to the market for a while.

But this girl would find a candied fruit for a while, and a peach cake for a while, and she would hide her feelings in this small sleeve.

It's just on the fluffy sleeves, how can it be so good?

After a while, the carriage returned to Xiao's Mansion. After listening to Su Qingtian's explanation, Liu Zifeng was full of thoughts on how to write the case file, so there was no problem for a while.

Xiao Yichen saw that Mr. Liu started to have dizziness again, so he ordered the groom to send Liu Zifeng back to the Yamen, while he brought Su Qingtian into the mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the dark red door, the old housekeeper who was sweating on his forehead came out to welcome him.

"Young master, I heard that there was a murder case in Dongfang City, Master Liu personally came to take you to the scene of the crime?"

The old housekeeper is an old man left by Mr. Xiao's father. He has never married, and puts all his efforts on the descendants of the Xiao family. He even watched Xiao Yichen's brothers grow up and regarded them as his grandchildren. chaos.

"What happened? How could the murder be involved with my Xiao family?"

Looking at the old housekeeper who was more than seventy years old, Xiao Yichen said slowly in a soft tone.

"There are a few Xiao characters at the scene of the crime. Mr. Liu just let me go and take a look through the process, and didn't add much detail."

"The case was solved by Mr. Liu, and the murderer was punished on the spot. It's fine, and our Xiao family is fine."

Hearing Xiao Yichen's half-comforting words, the old butler was slightly relieved.

When she lowered her head, the petite girl was obediently looking at her, and the old butler's expression changed.

"Young master! How could you take the young lady to such a filthy place!"

"No, no, you guys are waiting here, I have to let the servants prepare, to drive away the bad luck for you!"

While muttering, the old housekeeper ordered his servants to prepare the brazier and grapefruit leaves.
