After Xiao Ling returned to the mansion, he only saw Yan Yi leisurely eating melon seeds in the lobby, with his legs crossed, he didn't look like a patriarch at all.

"Where's brother?" Xiao Ling frowned and asked.

Yan Yi vomited, and smacked his mouth: "Today we found the murderer, her name is Lu Xixun, she is a girl who sings songs, she is quite pretty, she..."

Xiao Ling's complexion has darkened, and he stared at Yan Yi: "Master, brother, where are you?"

Seeing that Xiao Ling was about to get angry, Yan Yi hurriedly sat up straight and said, "He didn't listen to the persuasion and went to find that woman."

Waves of cold air radiated from Xiao Ling's body, making Yan Yi feel a sense of oppression: "You let him go alone?"

Yan Yi swallowed her saliva, and said with a dry smile, "I must not stay here to remind you that your love rival has appeared."

As soon as Xiao Ling heard it, he wanted to kill Yan Yi, and he gave Yan Yi a vicious look: "Thank you so much!"

Yan Yi smiled and waved his hands: "No thanks, no thanks, you should."

Xiao Ling didn't want to waste any more time talking with Yan Yi, so he went out in a hurry to find Lin Zhen.

Yan Yi shouted from behind: "Hey, wait for me! Canglong, you bastard who forgets friends after seeing sex!"

Lin Zhen held Yanyi's soul-absorbing pearl in his hand, and first searched various medical clinics and pharmacies, thinking that Lu Xixun should go to the doctor for detoxification if he was poisoned, but he searched for it all afternoon and walked half of Baijin City. There is no trace of Lu Xixun.

He looked up at the waning sky, and his worry was not that Lu Xi would run away, but that she would die from poisoning and be in danger.

Lin Zhen has always had a clear distinction between love and hate, and hates evil like hatred, and her compassion has never reached the level of flooding.He knew that Lu Xixun was likely to be the murderer of several murders, but after listening to her piano and songs, and what she said, he believed that there must be a reason for what Lu Xixun did. She has her reasons.

Thinking so, he walked out of the North City Gate on his own instinct.It was evening at this time, and it was dark in summer, so I could still see the surrounding scenery clearly.As soon as the west gate came out, there was an ancient road all the way, with weeds on both sides, and there was no place to hide.

Lin Zhen was a little discouraged. If Xiao Ling was by his side, there would be someone to take care of his troubles, but now he is alone.He walked forward aimlessly, not even noticing the overcast sky, and was caught off guard by a heavy rain.

Xia Yu came suddenly, violently, but also quickly.Lin Zhen ran forward with her head in her arms, only then did she remember the last time when she worked as a coolie for Xiao Ling to get rid of the raccoon demon here, she saw a ruined temple facing east, she was not very sure, so she just gritted her teeth and headed in that direction I ran, hoping to take shelter from the rain for a while.

Walking into the ruined temple, Lin Zhen was already drenched all over. Lin Zhen wiped her face and was about to turn around when her neck was pinched by a pair of cold hands.

"It turned out to be you." The one who strangled Lin Zhen's neck was none other than Lu Xixun, who Lin Zhen searched half of Tokyo but couldn't find.Her face was pale, her lips were black and purple, and she spoke weakly. She was trying to hold Lin Zhen back with all her strength.

At this time, Lu Xixun's hand was no longer the hand of an ordinary woman she saw during the day. Now she had revealed a half-ghost body, with slender fingers and long, sharp nails, which were stuck in Lin Zhen's skin, penetrating directly. bleeding.

Lin Zhen felt uncomfortable being pinched by Lu Xixun, coughed a few times, and said, "Miss Lu...I won't hurt you..."

Lu Xixun sneered, staring at Lin Zhen, "Who are you?"

"I'm Lin Zhen."

"People from the government?"

Lin Zhen knew that Lu Xixun had misunderstood, so she hurriedly said, "I'm from Xiaofu!"

Lu Xixun didn't expect this answer, and was taken aback: "Xiao Mansion? Are you from the Marquis of Guoling?"

...I'm not from Marquis Guoling, I'm his senior brother!

Listening to Lu Xixun's words, Lin Zhen couldn't hear what she said, and when she was in pain, her head was entangled with this.

Suddenly, Lin Zhen felt a gust of wind blowing, which made him cold, and the pressure on his neck disappeared immediately, and the pain also eased.Blinking her eyes, she took a closer look and saw that Lu Xixun had already fallen to the ground, and a green umbrella landed with her. Before she could react, she was kicked hard again. He was so vicious that he kicked the person to the other side.

Lu Xixun was already poisoned and his body was weak. He threatened Lin Zhen just now to force himself. Now that he was tortured by this, he immediately vomited a mouthful of black blood. His face was pale and his breath was dying.

She raised her eyes, and what she saw was Xiao Ling who was furious, wearing a green robe fluttering in the wind, showing murderous aura, overwhelming sense of oppression, holding a red umbrella in his hand.Lu Xixun understood that Xiao Ling had two umbrellas in his hand, and after seeing such a scene outside the door, he used one umbrella to knock down his hand that was pinching Lin Zhen.

Lu Xi didn't know Xiao Ling's identity, but was secretly surprised that this person was definitely not simple.

After Xiao Ling tidied up Lu Xixun, he hurriedly took off his robe and put it on Lin Zhen's body, his scolding was full of tenderness: "Senior brother, why don't you bring an umbrella, your whole body is wet, dyed What to do if there is a wind and cold!"

Lin Zhen coughed and said with a smile, "How did I know it would rain?"

Xiao Ling said: "The rain fell as soon as it was said, didn't I remind you? Also, why didn't you resist just now?"

Lin Zhen thought it was funny, why Xiao Ling took control of him like a senior brother, but only "hmmm" agreed, then turned his eyes to Lu Xixun, frowned and said, "Xiao Ling, you are too harsh. .”

If ordinary people were kicked by Xiao Ling like this, they would be heartbroken and die.

Xiao Ling snorted coldly: "I can't die, at worst I will become a ghost."

Lin Zhen glanced at him. Although she couldn't understand Xiao Ling's ruthless style, she thought it was all to save him after all, so she didn't say anything. She walked up to Lu Xixun and helped her up, saying: " Miss Lu, what an offense. Xiao Ling, quickly give Miss Lu the antidote! Otherwise, she won't be able to hold on!"

Lu Xixun heard the conversation between Lin Zhen and Xiao Ling, looked straight at Xiao Ling, and asked, "Are you Xiao Ling, Marquis of the Kingdom?"

Xiao Ling looked at her condescendingly: "Yes."

Lu Xixun laughed at himself and said, "When you see your benefactor, you don't thank your benefactor, but instead commit such a murderous act. Xiao Ling, this is how you behave in the world?"

Xiao Ling said lightly: "I don't know you, let alone remember when I received your kindness."

It might be a toxic attack, Lu Xixun clutched her chest, frowning in pain, her expression twisted, she said: "Give me the antidote."

"Give me the answer, and I'll give you the antidote."

Lu Xixun took a few deep breaths, paused for a while, and said, "Wang Yunlei wanted to collude with Zeng Ze and blame you for the financial deficit of the Tokyo government, so I killed these two corrupt thieves... ...Isn't this considered a kindness to you?"

Lin Zhen was stunned, he didn't expect the cause and effect of the matter to be so lightly stated.

Xiao Ling narrowed his eyes and watched Lu Xixun for a while, then took out the porcelain bottle from his bosom, threw it to her, watched her drink the antidote, walked forward and pulled Lin Zhen to his side, said: "I don't care Are you kind to me?"

Lu Xi looked up after drinking the antidote, a little surprised.

"As long as you hurt senior brother, you have to die." Xiao Ling's eyes were full of hostility, "I spared your life because senior brother didn't want you to die."

When Lin Zhen heard this, a strange emotion spread from his heart, and he couldn't tell whether it was shock or emotion.

Lu Xixun couldn't help being shocked, unexpectedly, Xiao Ling, who is so powerful and powerful, is such a person who values ​​love and righteousness. She looked at Lin Zhen who was pulled behind Xiao Ling, and she was not a sympathetic person: "So , Mr. Lin is still my savior?"

Lin Zhen stretched out his left hand and let go of his fist. Yan Yi's Dementor Bead lay quietly in his palm and glowed. He cut to the chase and asked, "Do you also have such a bead in your hand?"

Lu Xixun's complexion has improved a bit. She took out a purse from her waist and opened it. It was exactly the same soul-absorbing bead as Lin Zhen was holding.She smiled and said, "After so much trouble, are you just looking for it?"

Lin Zhen said: "No, we came to you by looking for it. Miss Lu, although you said that killing the magistrate and imperial envoy was for Xiao Ling, as far as we know, similar murders have happened before, all from your hand?"

"Yes." Lu Xixun lazily sat down against the wall, "The first one to kill is Zhang Zhao."

Lin Zhen didn't expect Lu Xixun to be so calm, and asked, "Why did you kill him? You... When are you not the whole person?"

Lu Xixun looked at him with a smile: "I'm not a storyteller. What I said didn't sing well. Even so, do you still want to listen to me?"

Xiao and Lin also sat on the ground, Xiao Ling said coldly: "Then tell me."

Lu Xixun withdrew his smile, stared blankly at the fading rain outside the door for a while, and sighed faintly: "I am originally from Chang'an, and I entered Zhang Zhao's mansion to sing songs in the fifth year of Yuanxi. Maid, speaking of it all happened more than ten years ago..."

Lu Xixun was born in poverty, his mother died young, and his father was a court violinist, but he was imprisoned for two years because he broke a string while playing the piano.Lu Xixun has been learning to play and sing with his father since he was a child, and when he grew up, he often went out to run with his father, hoping to share the burden for his father whose health was getting worse.

Until she was 15 years old, she was singing on the stage, but unexpectedly, Zhang Zhao, the Minister of Rites, was sitting under the stage.

After listening to her piano and singing, Zhang Zhao was full of praise. After learning about the predicament between her and her father, he offered to send Xixun to his house to be a maid who specialized in playing and singing, providing food and shelter, and giving Lu's father a monthly gift. Money, right as Lu Xixun's salary in the mansion.

Although Zhang Zhao had a good reputation, Father Lu was still a little worried.Although Lu Xixun was reluctant to part with his father, but thinking that his father's life would be much better if he left, he agreed.

The first six months passed peacefully, and Zhang Zhao often asked her to play music and chat with her, but gradually, something went wrong.Zhang Zhao looked at her more and more unscrupulously, and his words became more and more ambiguous. He often called her to play the piano alone in the room at night, and always hinted that she would stay after playing.

Lu Xixun was smart since she was young, but after all, she was not a human being. She pretended to be calm on the surface, but she was terribly scared in her heart. After she refused a few times, she finally annoyed Zhang Zhao.That night, Zhang Zhao blatantly refused to let Xi seek her away, closed the door and pushed her down on the bed.

Lu Xixun was imprisoned by Zhang Zhao for a full seven days. During these seven days, Lu Xixun had had enough of Zhang Zhao's torture and sex. Whenever Zhang Zhao entered the room, she would tremble with fright.

Finally, one day, the maid who came in to wash Xixun's grooming was her sister Yiwei who had been on good terms with her on weekdays. After learning the truth, Yuanwei was frightened and changed her expression. She took advantage of Zhang Zhao's absence and took Lu Xixun to escape. Zhang Fu.After bringing her back to Lu's house, Father Lu guessed a thing or two from her appearance, and the usually gentle person was so angry that he wanted to go into the house with a knife and chop Zhang Zhao.

"Yiwei and I were only 16 years old at the time, and we were too naive to report to the government, trying to expose Zhang Zhao's true colors." Lu Xixun laughed at himself, but his expression was slightly sad, "Why do you expect officials to protect each other! My father was beaten to death! Yuanwei and I were also tortured with sticks, but Zhang Zhao didn't think it was enough, so he sent someone to kill me and Yuanwei, and threw our bodies into the river."

However, there was a drought in Chang'an that summer, and the amount of water in the river was not as good as in previous years. Her body was blocked by a large rock protruding from the water.Although she was stabbed by Zhang Zhao's men, she didn't die, and her strong will supported her to survive. She was full of resentment and almost became a demon.

"At this moment, I was rescued by a son, he was the one who gave me the soul-destroying pearl."
