Lu Bai nodded.

He thought it was complicated enough that he covered the sky with one hand in Yancheng and cooperated with monsters, but he didn't expect that a monster came directly to Ankang City to cooperate with others to fight against the government.

"There are a lot of falsehoods in what Bai Qianhu said. If you want to find out, I'm afraid you have to check it out." Lu Bai said.

Gu Qinghuan reminded him, "Think it over, this Ankang City looks like a quagmire, and you won't be able to get out of it in a short time if you sink in."

Lu Bai reassured Gu Qinghuan that he was best at using a sharp knife to cut through messes.

Lu Baiyuan planned to go to Beicheng without anyone noticing at night, and follow the reclaimed land all the way to the mountains and forests, to find out the reason why these people rebelled, but he didn't want to fail.

At nightfall, Bai Qianhu walked in excitedly, "My lord, the case of Rou Chuan's two daughters' treason has been investigated. Rou Chuan's father was among the rebels in the mountains. There are neighbors who testify. In addition, Orimi’s father is even more convincing.”

Lu Bai asked: "Why is the evidence convincing?"

Bai Qianhu narrowed his eyes, "He died under the sword of the city guards when they were besieging the Zhongshanlin rebels."

Lu Bai's face became serious, "Where is the corpse?"

"It's right in front." Bai Qianhu said calmly, "I'll take the adults to see it now."

Lu Bai asked his female disciples to wait on Gu Qinghuan, and he led Jin Yiwei down to the lobby, where he saw the dead body of Zhiran's father.This corpse was covered with dirt, and even in this snowy winter, it still couldn't stop his rotting, emitting a soaring corpse stench.

Fortunately, his face is still vaguely visible.

In order to convince Lu Bai, Bai Qianhu also escorted Zhiran girl up.

After seeing the corpse, Zhiran girl was stunned for a moment, then couldn't believe it, then her eyes turned red, her lips murmured for a long time, and then she yelled like weeping blood: "Father!"

She wobbled and was about to faint, but luckily the Jin Yiwei next to her kept her under arrest.

"Take her down." Bai Qianhu waved his hand.

Jin Yiwei dragged Zhiran down, allowing her to struggle, cry and cry, even if she wanted to see his father again.

After the lobby became quiet, Bai Qianhu said with a smile: "Lord Lu, you can be sure now that we are absolutely in compliance with the rules for grasping the bracelets and weaving and dyeing."

He didn't forget to squat down and point to the wounds on the corpse, "Your Excellency, look carefully. These wounds are all wounds from the weapons of the city guards. Moreover, he has been dead for a long time, so there is no possibility of fraud."

"Really, let me see."

Lu Bai put on white silk gloves and squatted down.Since Jin Yiwei of Ankang City put the evidence in front of him, he would be sorry for their hard work if he didn't take a closer look.

As for this pair of white gloves, Gu Qinghuan knew that he would have to move the corpse, so he had someone custom-made it for him.

Lu Bai looked at each wound one by one, and even touched the places without wounds.

Bai Qianhu always smiled, but Lu Bai didn't know if the smile changed.

It took a long time before Lu Bai stood up.

Bai Qianhu asked with a smile, "Lord Lu, how are you doing?"

Lu Bai nodded, "Yes, it has indeed been dead for a long time."

Bai Qianhu was relieved, "That's right, the fact is that, our Ankang Jinyiwei absolutely did not bend the law for personal gain."

Lu Bai smiled awkwardly, "Old Bai, I'm sorry, I am also acting impartially, and I am afraid that there may be some mistakes. After all, I became the governor of Nanzhen at a young age. I feel that only by doing something can I be worthy of His Majesty's mighty grace."

Bai Qianhu expressed his understanding, "My lord's intentions are right. Now the atmosphere of Jinyiwei is getting worse and worse. There are more people who bend the law for personal gain, and fewer people who enforce the law impartially. If we don't rectify it, we will soon become the shame of the emperor."

Lu Bai nodded in relief, expressing that Bai Qianhu understood as long as he understood.

He bid farewell to Bai Qianhu, but unexpectedly, Bai Qianhu stopped him and handed over an invitation card, "Master Lu, Mr. Seventh Shi heard that you and Miss Gu Si have arrived in Ankang City, and specially greeted you at the Huxin Pavilion. And get a glimpse of Miss Gu Si's demeanor, you see"

Lu Bai agreed after pondering for a while.

Along the way, I'm used to hearing the madness and legends of Mr. Shi Qi, so it's good to meet the real person, not to mention the inevitable dealings later.

"I'll go back and ask my aunt to prepare. We'll set off in an hour." Lu Bai said and returned to the resting place.

Gu Qinghuan was practicing calligraphy, she raised her head and asked, "How is the case?"

"Hmph, it's tricky." Lu Bai smiled contemptuously, Jin Yiwei couldn't hide this trick from him.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Gu Qinghuan stopped writing, walked to the sink, dipped a towel in lukewarm water and handed it to Lu Bai, asking him to wash his hands, and took the gloves over to Yunniang to wash.

"The simplest thing is that the clothes are wrong." Lu Bai said.

Although the clothes were hacked and corpses were rotting, and the soil was soaked beyond recognition, it was still easy to find a piece of cloth.

Lu Bai put the piece of cloth on the table, "This is the corner of a piece of high-quality silk, which is suitable for underwear, but not for outerwear. Would Zhizhi's father wear such a piece of clothing when he was a rebel?"

"The cause of death is wrong." Lu Bai said.

Zhiran's father was not hacked to death in the middle of the chaos at all. He was beaten to death with a stick. There was a shrunken piece on the back of the corpse's head, and those knife edges showed no blood or flesh. It was cut after death, and it was cut today.

"They also tried to cover it with mud." Lu Bai smiled contemptuously.

He took out two more pinches of soil. "This is the soil on the edge of the knife. The soil is slightly black, granulated, and still wet. This kind of picture can be seen in mountain forests where fallen leaves rot all year round. This is the original soil behind the neck of the corpse. The soil is fine, which means that the bones came from somewhere. It was dug out in the dense forest."

Chapter 314

The soil full of humus was sprinkled on the knife edge of the corpse.

It was originally used to cheat, and these people probably didn't expect that they provided some clues for Lu Bai.

It's just that Lu Bai's eyes were darkened in Ankang City, and it was difficult to figure this out.

"Okay, I don't want to worry about this anymore." Lu Bai stood up and handed the invitation to Gu Qinghuan, "Let's go and clean up. This Young Master Shi Qi from Ankang City has hosted a banquet for us, and the invitation has been delivered."

Gu Qinghuan brought over the invitation card, opened it and frowned, "Didn't you read the invitation card?"

"No, what's the matter?" Lu Bai wondered.

Gu Qinghuan handed the invitation to Lu Bai, "It's nothing, just a disciple."

Lu Bai took the invitation, my good fellow, only Gu Qinghuan's original name "Gu Qing" was written on the invitation, as for Lu Bai, it was directly represented by "a group of people", and the above was full of flattery, mostly Admiration for Gu Qinghuan's appearance and other flattery.

"We're not going. If you tell them, just say that I'm unwell." Gu Qinghuan said.

Lu Bai put down the invitation, "Go, why don't you go, I already promised him, wouldn't it be a breach of trust if you don't go."

He is not very angry with this "one person waiting". He has two lives, and he is not a young and vigorous person who would be irritated by such a clumsy trick, but whether he is angry or not is one thing. Another matter.

Lu Bai wants to meet this proud son of heaven.

"Ok."

Gu Qinghuan pulled Lu Bai to sit down, and tied Lu Bai's hair in front of the dressing table.

Since we are going, we must not lose the scene.

She arranged for Lu Bai a hair crown that was clear but not unrestrained and elegant, and picked out a moon-white dress with a cloak over it. It was relaxed and freehand, but Lu Bai's eclectic temperament was naturally revealed.

On the other hand, Gu Qinghuan changed into a slightly neutral outfit, and put on a white fleece cape, which just matched Lu Bai's style of clothing, but was more low-key, so as not to overwhelm the guests.

When they left the Jinyiwei Qianhu Office, Bai Qianhu was already waiting, and rushed over to greet them, "My lord, Mr. Shi Qi's car has arrived, please."

Lu Bai looked up, and saw a luxurious car parked under the steps of the guard, with dragons and phoenixes painted on it, and the door curtains and curtains were all golden. Lu Bai had good eyesight, so he could tell at a glance that it was woven with gold silk.What is even more eye-catching is the cart puller. It is a donkey with a snow-white body and white hooves. Under the heavy snow, it almost melts into the sky and the earth.

Bai Qianhu took the opportunity to say: "My lord, this is Shi Qigong's favorite mount Snow Demon. It is rumored that it travels [-] miles a day and only pulls the car once a day. Don't even think about letting it pull people after one time. I heard Said, this snow demon doesn't eat grass, but goes out to look for food on its own, and when it returns home in the morning, it has become a spirit."

He invited Lu Bai to get in the car, "This car is a testament to the grandeur of Mr. Shi Qi."

Lu Bai smiled and didn't say anything. After helping Gu Qinghuan into the car, he got in too.

The snow demon started on its own, pulling the cart and walking slowly on the street. All the people, no matter they were walking, pulling the cart or driving the cart, gave way to the side of the road to send the snow demon away before moving on. .

"This donkey is quite ostentatious, and the emperor's appearance is nothing more than that." Lu Bai lowered the curtain and asked again: "It doesn't eat ordinary fodder, what do you think it eats?"

Before Gu Qinghuan could say anything, Lu Bai muttered, "It's nothing more than meat and grass, so it can't be compared to dew."

Lu Bai was thinking, if a donkey with enlightened wisdom is also called a grand treat, he should have pulled the great white ape over and groomed its fur, so that it looks very pure in this world as well.

While talking, Lu Bai and the others headed north all the way to the north city wall.

The gate of Ankang City was already closed. Seeing the white donkey, he hurriedly opened the gate and sent the white donkey out respectfully.

Lu Bai was about to look outside the northern city, so he opened the curtain again. However, a string of lanterns came into his eyes unexpectedly, and he saw red lanterns hanging on every tree on both sides of the road, accompanied by a white donkey. , the red lanterns were lit up one by one, and the road in front of the white donkey seemed to be opened up, and it appeared clearly in front of them one by one under the illumination of the lights.

"It's interesting." Lu Bai said.

He glanced behind the tree, and saw a figure swaying behind the tree, wearing white clothes and a white hood. If he didn't look carefully, he would have thought that Mr. Shi Qi had some magical powers, making every lamp accompany the donkey The car lights up.

"It's quite thought-provoking." Lu Bai poked his head out to look behind him, and the lanterns lit up in the wilderness like a long dragon.

He retracted his head, "The little girls have seen it, and it's hard not to be fascinated by this hand."

Lu Qing laughed happily, from the beginning to the end, she didn't look outside.

Lu Bai retracted his head and didn't look at it again. For those who visited the lantern market a lot in the previous life, the lantern was pleasantly surprised and kind, like returning to the previous life, but this is after all. ancient times.

These lanterns are too monotonous, and they cannot flicker, so they are not very interesting.

The donkey cart quickly got on the trestle bridge.

This is a trestle bridge built on the lake, the lake is frozen and covered with snow, smooth, without human feet stepping on it, like a jade plate, and the carriage is walking on the solitary and straight trestle bridge in the wind and snow. Accompanied by two red lantern dragons, there is a special artistic conception.

Lu Bai had to admit that this Young Master Shi Qi was quite elegant.

At the end of the trestle is a manor.

This manor is not big, built on the lake, supported by wooden beads pierced into the bottom of the lake, the ice surface under the eaves of the pavilions is not covered by snow, the lights are reflected on the ice surface, sometimes people can not tell the sky and land.

Lu Bai felt that the manor must be beautiful in summer, the stars are reflected in the water, and the manor is above the starry sky.

"Eee—————"

When approaching the center of the manor, Lu Bai heard someone practicing his voice, followed the reputation, and saw a small stage isolated from the manor, built on a gigantic boulder. stage.

This is indeed a stage.

The set was set.

Lu Bai saw that there seemed to be another mechanism below, and he didn't know what it was for.

The theater stage is facing a stage, and a banquet is placed on the stage.

Lu Bai and the others got out of the car, and Bai Qianhu led a few hundred households from Jinyiwei over, accompanied by several female disciples of Lu Bai, and—a monk?

Lu Bai was surprised, and looked at the sloppy Taoist priest: "Why are you here?"

The sloppy Taoist rolled his eyes, "Master, you are not mean enough, you didn't take us with you when you had a chance to drink."

Got it!

Lu Bai shouldn't have asked, the reason is obvious.

Bai Qianhu dismounted, "My lord, how about this manor, it was built by Mr. Shi Qi himself, especially this stage—"

Bai Qianhu pointed to the gigantic rock in the lake, "Master Shi Qi moved it back and settled it himself."

Lu Bai didn't care much, for a master of moving mountains, moving a small mountain is no problem, let alone Lu Bai is in the empty space.

Instead, he heard footsteps coming from the corridor - the corridor connects to the platform where Lu Bai got off the car and is directly opposite to the stage.

"Miss Gu Si came here and made my garden flourish." A young man about the same age as Lu Bai led a group of people out of the corridor, and the voice came first.

This young man was wearing a crown on his head, his face was as white as jade, and he was wearing a toga. He walked around and brought a burst of fragrance from the wind.

Speaking of Jian Zhai, this young man is full of sword energy, showing his sharpness. Although he does not have a sword on his body, the good people who see him have no doubts that he can easily rain a sword.

In contrast, Lu Bai's hanging wall is much worse, because his practice is all on the panel, so his demeanor and temperament are much inferior to these hard-edged people, making it difficult for people to see his details at a glance.

On the contrary, Lu Bai's body is very gentle and approachable because of the Qingxin Jue and Turtle's Breathing Technique.

Seeing these people welcoming them, Gu Qinghuan took a step back and stood behind Lu Bai.

Lu Bai cupped his hands, "I heard Mr. Shi Qi's name as soon as I arrived at the boundary, and now I finally see him."

Young Master Shi Qi returned the gift calmly, "This is Mr. Lu, he became a town care envoy at a young age, he is really young and promising."

"It's just rolling around in the world of mortals." Lu Bai smiled modestly.

Young Master Shi Qi raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Lu Bai to be so calm at such a young age.

He also introduced several people to Lu Bai, including the city lord of Ankang, the magistrate, the commander of the city guards and other officials. They were not respectful to Lu Bai, but they were not rude. After all, the strength is worse.

They were more curious about Gu Qinghuan, they looked sideways frequently, or were amazed, or admired, or felt dirty in their hearts, none of these could be seen, as people who rolled around in the officialdom, they still had some self-restraint.

On the other hand, Young Master Shi Qi looked at Gu Qinghuan with amazement at first, but later he couldn't conceal his admiration.

Gu Qinghuan remained silent.
