Black Fairy, the master is a female ghost

After returning to Xialou, the two of them reported to Captain Ma.

Then, he took the list back and copied out all the men on the list.

What is its name and which immortal sect does it come from?

The roster clearly states what industry you are currently working in in Changzhou City.

After copying, the two analyzed it again.

There are a total of 28 men and only four women on the roster.

Among the twenty-eight men, eighteen were from the top three major sects in Western Chu.

The rest mostly come from small and medium-sized sects.

Among the eighteen men from the three major sects, three are top masters and serve as guards for the king and the prince in the palace.

There are five people serving in the homes of ministers in the court, such as the guards of the prime minister's family, the guards of a certain minister's family, the guards of a certain prince's family, and so on.

There are ten more people, distributed in various industries.

The last person was the one President Zhu just wrote down.

Supreme Jade, Feixianmen, and Xialou work.

So, in addition to Lu Xunhuan, there were a total of seventeen men from the three major sects.

The two analyzed for a while and concluded that those who were powerful were naturally in the palace and the homes of important officials.

The rest are distributed in various industries.

For example, there are people who run small businesses in Changzhou City, and there are also a few who help escort escorts in the escort agency and earn some hard-earned money. They should not have very strong strength.

Therefore, the focus of the investigation seems to have shifted to the eight most powerful ones.

But with Xia Lou's identity, he could never enter the palace.

And the residences of those important officials might not necessarily receive them.

Therefore, the investigation is difficult.

After lunch, the two of them set off. No matter how difficult it was, they had to go.

The morning court session has passed and the ministers have all returned home. It would be easier to see the host if you go in the afternoon.

According to the address, the two first went to the prime minister's country.

The reason why Lu Xunhuan came to the Prime Minister's country was because the Prime Minister had some connection with him.

The prime minister of Western Chu was surnamed Zhou, and my uncle Zhou Fenqing was the son of Prime Minister Zhou.

In order to force Southern Liang to repel the enemy from Eastern Yan, Lu Xunhuan entrusted Li Susu to go to Western Chu to find Prime Minister Zhou, and only then did Western Chu send troops to attack Southern Liang.

The strategy of besieging Wei to save Zhao was successful, forcing the Southern Liang army to retreat and thus allowing Eastern Yan to avoid a bloody battle.

After knocking on the door, a servant opened it, looked at the two men's knight-errant attire, and asked, "Is there anything important?"

What that means is, unless it's something important, the Prime Minister has no time to meet with people like you who are not in the spotlight.

Lu Xun Huan said, "An old friend of Mr. Zhou Fenqing has come to see his father with his last words."

The servant opened his eyes wide and asked, "Is the eldest master gone? How did you know him?"

Lu Xun Huan sighed: "We were once friends of life and death, but now..."

He pretended to wipe his eyes, as if he was about to cry.

The servant quickly gestured: "Come in, come in..."

The two entered the mansion and followed the servant around in the house.

Qingxia whispered, "You're just playing tricks all day long. How could the Prime Minister be so easily deceived?"

Lu Xunhuan turned around and looked at her: "As expected, Qingxia is a bit old-fashioned. Zixia is better."

Qingxia's eyes widened: "You Supreme Jade, when did you know my sister?"

Lu Xunhuan was quite surprised. Does Qingxia really have a younger sister named Zixia?

So when I meet Zixia in the future, should I call her Supreme Treasure instead of Supreme Jade?

The servant led the two men to a study and reported, "Master, there is a young man who claims to be an old friend of the eldest young master and has the eldest young master's last words."

The door opened quickly, and an old man in his sixties came in, looking quite majestic.

He turned his gaze towards Lu Xunhuan: "Young man, what did you say? Angry Youth is gone?"

Lu Xunhuan asked, "Prime Minister, when Li Susu came to see you last time, didn't he tell you?"

When he could mention Li Susu, Prime Minister Zhou immediately knew that this young man must be closely related to Zhou Fenqing.

He gestured, "Come in and talk."

Lu Xunhuan stepped in, turned around, and blocked Qingxia outside the door.

"Fairy Qingxia, I have something important to tell the Prime Minister. Please go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and take a look."

Qingxia was a little embarrassed: "You..."

Prime Minister Zhou called to the servant and said, "Take this young lady for a walk around the mansion."

Having said this, Qingxia had no choice but to follow the servant.

After the door was closed, Lu Xunhuan knelt on the ground and said, "Grandfather, please accept my grandson's greetings."

Prime Minister Zhou opened his eyes wide.

"What? You're the son of an angry young man..."

"That's not right. He's only 33 years old. How could he have a son as old as you?"

Lu Xunhuan's bow seemed abrupt.

But at the right time and in the most appropriate way, he instantly narrowed the distance between him and Prime Minister Zhou and eliminated all possible barriers.

The subsequent conversation between the two was like that between family members.

He stood up and said, "It's like this, my master is the Princess of Zhou State, my uncle is Zhou Fenqing, and my uncle is Li Susu."

Zhou Xiangguo suddenly realized: "Oh, oh, I'm so happy for nothing. Sit down, sit down."

After Lu Xunhuan sat down, he asked, "Is Angry Youth really gone?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I know it's a bit cruel to tell you the truth. The last time my uncle came, I didn't tell you the truth because I was afraid you'd be upset. But you have to know this sooner or later, right?"

Prime Minister Zhou sighed, "Of course you should tell me the truth. Fen Qing has been interested in cultivating immortals since he was young, but Changzhou City has a rule that children of the royal family and important officials are not allowed to cultivate immortals."

"He originally had no chance of cultivating immortality, but one year, a very mysterious person came from nowhere and lived in Changzhou City for a long time. I don't know how Angry Youth got to know him, but that person taught him how to cultivate immortality, and he began practicing in secret."

"I only found out after he achieved some success and scolded him severely."

"He was probably afraid that people would know that he was cultivating immortality and that it would affect me, so he ran away from home..."

"It's been ten years. He's been gone for ten years and has never come back."

He asked Lu Xunhuan, "Where did he die? What was the situation? Who killed him?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "At the time, he had been following me, wanting to secretly protect me, but someone took advantage of this and deliberately lured him and his uncle out to get rid of them."

Prime Minister Zhou thought for a moment and said, "That must be the eldest princess's enemy."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Those people first killed my master, and then they were afraid that someone would find out the truth and avenge the princess."

"They knew I had some relationship with the princess, so they sent experts to follow me. Later, they assassinated Master Zhou on the outskirts of Yanshui County in Nanliang."

Prime Minister Zhou asked, "You were originally from the Zhou Kingdom, right? Why did you go to Southern Liang, and now why are you in Western Chu?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "It's a long story. I don't even know where to begin. I've been involved in a lot of worldly affairs, and I'm also deeply involved in the affairs of the immortals. I came to Xi Chu for no other reason than to look for something."

Prime Minister Zhou asked, "Immortal treasure?"

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "That's about right. I can't think of where to start for now, so I joined the Xia Lou and will help with the cases first to familiarize myself with Changzhou City."

Prime Minister Zhou said, "I have some power in the court. Do you need my help?"

Lu Xun Huan shook his head: "I can't let you get involved, so, behind closed doors, we are family, but outside this door, we are outsiders."

Prime Minister Zhou pondered for a moment and asked, "You came to see me just to meet me first?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "Our Xia Lou is investigating the case of the Flower-Picking Thief. We now know that the man is from a sect of immortal cultivators and is quite powerful."

"So, we need to investigate those people from the immortal sects in Changzhou City. There is one in your house. Call him and we'll know for sure."

Prime Minister Zhou asked, "What are the characteristics of the thief?"

Lu Xun Huan replied, "He's not tall, and he's probably missing half a tooth."

Prime Minister Zhou shook his head and said, "Neither the one in my palace nor the three masters in the royal palace have this trait. I've also seen the immortal masters hired by other officials, and none of them have any missing teeth..."

Lu Xun Huan nodded: "Okay, maybe the thief is not on the list."

Prime Minister Zhou said, "If you need any help in Changzhou City, just come to me. By the way, what's your name?"

Lu Xun Huan said, "I will keep my real name secret for now. My name in Xia Lou is Zhizun Yu."

Prime Minister Zhou nodded slightly: "Okay, Supreme Jade, if you need help, just come to me."
