Chapter 45 Someone Framed Me

Xie Jinhuan stopped and turned to look at his own house with white walls and green tiles. He sniffed, but didn't smell anything unusual, and his brows couldn't help but frowned.

Lin Wanyi looked a little bewildered and looked around:

"what happened?"

"There seems to be a bloody aura in the yard. Have you noticed?"

The bloody evil energy is usually produced by cruel means of stripping away the qi and blood. Once it appears, it is 99% likely to be related to evil spirits.

Lin Wanyi heard the question, frowned and carefully perceived it, and said blankly:

"Have it?"

Xie Jinhuan couldn't sense it, but since Ye Da Succubus said it was there, it must be there. He immediately shook the personal servant on his shoulder:

"Get up and work."

"Guji?"

Coal Ball opened his eyes sleepily, looked around, then spread his wings and flew high into the sky for reconnaissance.

Xie Jinhuan held the Tiangang mace in his hand and listened outside the wall. After making sure that there was no one ambushing in the yard, he quietly jumped into the yard.

Lin Wanyi followed closely behind and landed in the front yard. Everything in the yard was normal, except for a few fallen leaves.

"Nothing special, could it be from the Princess's Mansion?"

Xie Jinhuan initially thought so, but the ghost wife had already appeared beside him. Following the source of the blood evil energy, she soon arrived at the bedroom and pointed under the bunk bed:

"At this."

Xie Jinhuan came over, took a quick look, and lifted up the bare bed board, revealing a small box under the bed.

Inside the box were several letters and a yellowed booklet with "Medicine Classic" written on the cover, which recorded the medicinal effects of various organs of the human body.

There were several medicine bottles in the drawer, one of which seemed to be loose, with dark red liquid oozing from the edge.

Lin Wanyi came closer to examine it carefully, and her expression changed slightly:

"Blood Essence? Why are you hiding this thing?"

Blood Essence is the essence of Qi and blood extracted from living things using secret methods. It has high medicinal value, but it is also a necessity for demons to refine high-grade demon-transforming pills. It is strictly prohibited by the imperial court and can only be found in places such as the Dan Hospital and the Imperial Pharmacy.

Xie Jinhuan frowned, picked up the letter, and found that it was all about "him and his master" asking about their well-being, and there was a vague mention of work in Danyang...

"This isn't mine. Someone framed me and accused me of being involved with the demon bandits!"

"what?"

Lin Wanyi was baffled. "How could you, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, be a demon bandit? Who would be so bored as to frame you with something like this?"

Xie Jinhuan was also wondering who would frame him.

Jinghua Villa's Bao Fei might retaliate...

He investigated the Li family, and they might have obtained banned drugs and books...

Because he had dug up the corpse cave, the demon bandit knew he was being wronged, and he might even retaliate in his own way...

Xie Jinhuan couldn't figure out who framed him for the time being, but with such a scheme, people from the yamen would definitely arrive soon.

As long as the government finds this, it must examine it inside and out according to regulations in order to eliminate suspicion.

He has not been suspected until now, all thanks to Yang Dabiao's guarantee of his life, and the fact that he has been punishing evil and eliminating evil without asking for anything in return.

When it comes to actual investigation, he cannot explain his recent resume, the exact location of Fengling Valley, who his master is, etc.

Then he was listed as a key suspect. The great demon of Zihui Mountain was captured on the spot. The crisis between the Li family and the demon bandits was resolved. I'm afraid he would say "thank you for your righteousness" and burn more paper money for him...

Xie Jinhuan realized that the situation was not good, and stood up and said:

"Since this is a frame-up, people from the government office will be here at any time. We have to deal with these first."

Lin Wanyi didn't believe that Xie Jinhuan was related to the demon bandits, and asked doubtfully:
"You were framed. Wouldn't destroying the evidence be an attempt to cover up the truth? I can testify for you..."

Xie Jinhuan understood better than anyone who had wronged him that he was not wronged at all:
"You're a member of the witch cult, and you're afraid of revealing your true identity. How can you testify for me?"

Lin Wanyi thought the same thing and said, "Then I'll go back first. You have nothing to fear if you are investigated."

How come I'm fine? Xie Jinhuan said earnestly:
"I don't know the identity of the person who plotted against me. If someone in the court is framing me, they'll find a pretext to accuse me. Even if I tell the truth, I'll still suffer the consequences, and I might even expose your identity."

Lin Wanyi thought about it and said worriedly, "What should we do then? We can throw the things away, but you can't hide the bloody aura. The government officials will smell it and come here soon."

Xie Jinhuan knew that this thing was difficult to get rid of. He didn't know any Taoist magic, so he could only glance at the ghost next to him.

Ye Hongshang sat on the edge of the bed with his legs crossed, looking like he was also in deep thought, but he quickly gave an answer:

"The blood evil energy originates from the blood and essence that have been forcibly extracted from the body. You can use 'Pouring Candles' to reverse the blood and essence, forcing them out of the body to create a fake one.

"But this explanation alone is too rigid, and the government might still be wary and investigate your background.

“Also, according to normal circumstances, the person who framed you must be the one who gave directions to the government office, and he should be among them later.

"You have to go with the flow and play along. I'll observe their expressions and help you find the person who framed you."

……

Lin Wanyi noticed that Xie Jinhuan was suddenly distracted and looked at the empty bed. She immediately became suspicious and turned to look in the direction of Ye Hongshang: "What are you looking at? Is there anyone here?"

"How is that possible? I'm just thinking about something."

Xie Jinhuan came back to his senses and held Lin Wanyi's shoulders with both hands:

"Wanyi, we are in the same boat. So I have to put you in a difficult position and play a show with me later."

?

Lin Wanyi was supported by the man on both sides of her shoulders, her hands folded on her chest, her eyes tense:
"What do you want to do? You can't pretend to be a virgin. If you don't have the bloody aura, the government won't believe it..."

Losing virginity?

As expected of a doctor, his perspective on the problem is truly unusual! Xie Jinhuan frowned and said:

"Why would I break your virginity? It's just a play to prevent you from sacrificing your virginity. Later..."

Whisper in your ear.

Lin Wanyi felt the masculine scent coming towards her, and her heart tightened slightly, but soon her brows furrowed slightly:

"How can I do this? If I pretend to be your confidante, how will I ever get married if the news gets out? I didn't even explain the last time I took a shower in your room..."

Xie Jinhuan said seriously, "I have already been appreciated by the Pill King. Last night I heard the Pill King discussing with others what kind of reward I would receive. I plan to accumulate more merits and then ask for the Divine Martial Arts Canon directly.

"Wanyi, you don't want this to ruin the Dan King's impression and ruin your plan, right?"

"..."

Lin Wanyi looked at the 'two-headed dragon' so close, her clothes puffed up and she wanted to refuse, but after holding it in for a long time, she finally chose to compromise and warned in a deep voice:
"I'm a witch from the Witch Cult. If you dare to scare me, I'll put a curse on you. Do you believe it?"

"I believe it, I believe it."

Xie Jinhuan patted her shoulders:

"If I lie to you, I'll buy you ten sets of magical clothing."

"Pssst! Who asked you to buy that?! You have to get the Martial Arts Divine Codex in a month! Otherwise, there's no point in discussing this."

"I'll do my best, hurry up and pack your things..."

……
-
Wencheng Street.

Li Jing was walking slowly as he led his horse, with a three-foot sword hanging on the horse's side and a wine jug hanging from his waist. He looked more like a drunkard in the market.

This old man who served as the Dean of the Imperial Academy had an amiable personality, and many students who did not know his background liked to call him "Old Man Li".

But anyone with a little experience will understand how rich the qualifications are for someone to serve as vice president of a top Confucian institution.

Zhou He followed behind him, not daring to be negligent in his words, but also revealing a hint of anxiety:
"Sir, you and Lord Li of the current dynasty are both from the Hualin Li family. Hundreds of years ago, you were considered a family. You are currently teaching at the Imperial Academy. The Li family has always treated you with great respect. Now that the Li family is in trouble..."

The Hualin Li family is one of the prominent families in Daqian, with descendants spread all over the north and south.

If you think about it, Li Jing and Li Gongpu do have the same ancestor, but there are at least hundreds of people in Danzhou alone who have the same origin.

Facing Chilinwei's request, Li Jing spoke in a casual tone:
"I am a man of the world, and I serve as Dean of the Imperial Academy only because of Mr. Mu's favor. The Imperial Academy's duty is to teach and educate. The petty intrigues of the imperial court are not the Academy's business."

Zhou He nodded repeatedly, "Sir, that's right. But the Li family was indeed framed by the bandits, and Master Li is weak and can't withstand the severe punishment. Confucianism emphasizes 'virtue as the primary and punishment as the secondary, compassionate and cautious punishment.' The government's torture may have forced a confession, and Mr. Li, as a senior Confucian, shouldn't have turned a blind eye..."

Li Jing didn't buy it at all and responded directly:
"Everyone knows that the Confucian sages were highly educated, but they overlook the fact that Confucianism emphasizes the 'six arts of a gentleman, both civil and martial.' As long as a sage teacher's name is recorded in the book, none of them is a good person.

"A scholar learns literature in order to reason with others; he learns martial arts in order to make unreasonable people sit down and listen to him.

"If the Li family were to be treated with reason but still be wronged, the academy would not sit idly by. However, the Li family is full of nonsense, trying to cover up their guilt and absolve themselves of all charges. According to the academy's custom, they will be punished until they admit their wrongdoing."

There are many religions and schools of thought in the world, but Confucianism, Mohism, Militaryism, etc. only have different philosophical ideas and are not divided by cultivation methods.

The main purpose of Confucianism is not to practice for immortality, but to encourage students to "strengthen their bodies and civilize their souls." Therefore, most Confucian disciples are martial artists, and some are also involved in the way of immortality.

Zhou He's eloquence was no match for this group of Confucian warriors with extremely flexible moral standards. He seemed to be at a loss for words. While he was thinking about his words, he suddenly frowned slightly and took out a palm-sized compass from his waist.

The scientific name of the compass is "Suoyao Luojing". It can survey the changes in the yin and yang and five elements, and track the whereabouts of demons and ghosts. It is a magical tool used by the Red Lin Guard to hunt down demons.

There were several rotating needles in the middle of the compass, and two of them were swinging slightly, pointing to the street.

Li Jing frowned and took a step back to examine it carefully:
"When the five elements are out of balance, disaster will occur. The movement of both water and yin will generate evil spirits. This is the sign of blood evil."

After saying that, he looked towards the Princess Mansion on the street.

Zhou He's expression grew serious: "Mr. Li, is there some evil spirit over there?"

Because the blood evil energy was too weak, Li Jing could hardly sense it, so he took the demon-hunting disk from Zhou He and tracked it according to the direction.

Zhou He followed closely behind and gave urgent instructions to his followers:

"There's something strange going on here. Quickly notify the government office."

"promise!"

The accompanying Chilin Guard received the order and immediately ran back...
