Chapter 12 Calling for help

Sitting on the carriage, Master Yunxi and Leng Hai both looked languid and a little unmotivated.

A murder case at a tea shop on the road not only involved a huge amount of money, but also cost dozens of lives, but in the end it had an unclear outcome, which would make anyone feel depressed.

Yun Xi was thinking about Zhou Xihe's corruption case ten years ago and the relationship between him and the wise king in the capital, and his thoughts were hard to calm down.

"The murder case at the tea shop is over for now, don't even think about it."

Suddenly, Lu Qingfan's deep and restrained voice sounded in the quiet carriage.

He closed his eyes and held the sword in front of his chest with both hands, but the words he spoke had a shocking and calming force.

"Sir, I just don't understand that if the case is submitted to the Criminal Department, it may not fall into our hands." Leng Hai sighed and said: "The results of our hard work, I don't know who will pick the peach in the end."

Son……"

"There's only one move left. No matter who moves, it's the same. Don't worry about your reputation." Lu Qingfan looked at it openly.

Yun Xi turned his head slightly and looked at Lu Qingfan curiously.

"What?" Lu Qingfan could feel the little girl's gaze without opening his eyes, and turned his head slightly to face her.

"I just didn't expect it." Yun Xi was embarrassed this time, "Your Excellency is a master in solving cases. I thought you would be obsessed with chasing the suspect of the Double Swordsman."

"This case is complicated. Whether bribery is involved is just our guess. If you show too much persistence, I'm afraid..." someone will be watching you.

It's just him. Yun Xi is a prostitute and has a sensitive identity. If someone reveals her background in advance, she may be executed on the spot before the walls of the capital are even touched, let alone redress her grievances.

Lu Qingfan didn't specify what he said next, but everyone in the carriage guessed that he was too eye-catching and could easily become a target for the nobles in the capital.

"Kindness is the hardest thing to say. Maybe the case will be transferred back to us in the end." Yun Xi winked mischievously and followed Lu Qingfan's example, closing her eyes and falling asleep.

For a time, the atmosphere in the car became much more relaxed.

It's night.

The teahouse in Fengxian County burst into flames, and the wailing figures in the teahouse gradually died down, gradually turning into ashes along with the house.

A mile away from the tea shop, a masked man wearing a dark black outfit and a bamboo hat looked towards the direction of the tea shop, the fire in his eyes gradually fading away in the night.

After a while, a man in black came from the direction of the tea shop and saluted with clasped fists respectfully.

"See the door master."

The man wearing a bamboo hat asked warmly: "Have the traces left by the Lord been cleaned up?"

"Report it to the master of the sect, everything has been burned, and not a single person is left alive."

The man wearing a bamboo hat nodded with satisfaction: "Send the message to the Lord and let the people in the capital prepare."

"yes."



Yun Xi and his party traveled quickly for two days and finally arrived outside Lingshui City at dusk.

Everyone was tired and exhausted, so Lu Qingfan immediately decided to go to Lingshui City to rest for a night.

The various delicacies in Lingshui City have already appeared in Qingguo's mind, making her salivate.

To enter Lingshui City, you need to cross a long country road.

With the hope of entering the city in her heart, Yun Xi poked her head out in a good mood, her beautiful face squinting comfortably against the warm light of dusk.

When he opened his eyes again, Yun Xi's eyes were attracted by the figure of a fellow villager paying homage not far away.

She curiously stretched her neck out again, but a warm hand grabbed her collar and pulled her back to the car.

"Be careful."

Facing Lu Qingfan's dark handsome face, Yun Xi pointed outside and said, "Sir, you have good eyesight. What are the fellow villagers worshiping?"

"Don't lean out again if you want to take a look." Lu Qingfan was not fooled by Yun Xi and rejected her request with a cold tone, but honestly opened the car curtain and looked out.

You wouldn't know if you didn't look at it, but Lu Qingfan's expression looked a little strange.

"It's the wordless spiritual position."

"'Wordless Spiritual Position'?" Yun Xi has been in the Divine Doctor Valley for several years and is very unfamiliar with these folk customs.

"Many places have the custom of enshrining the 'wordless spirit tablet'." When talking about this, Leng Hai couldn't stop talking.

"There are rumors in Lingnan, Nanyang, and many barbarian tribes in the southwest mountainous mountains... It is said that some people, in order to thank unknown benefactors, will also make 'wordless spiritual tablets' for worship!"

"It's so strange." Qingguo looked puzzled: "You don't even know the name, aren't you afraid that you are worshiping the wrong person?"

"It's not surprising. Some people pray to gods and worship Buddha, and naturally there are people who comfort their ancestors and bless them. The 'wordless spiritual tablet' is also a simple spiritual sustenance!" Leng Hai said it seriously, which made Qing Guo stunned.

Leng Chuan, who was driving outside, couldn't bear to listen and snorted just right.

Qingguo reacted suddenly, raised his hand and slapped Leng Hai: "You lied to me!"

"The conscience of heaven and earth, I really didn't lie to you! Hey Lengchuan, why are you humming?"

Leng Hai was so angry that he opened the car curtain and strangled Leng Chuan's neck: "I almost deceived the little girl!"

"Get lost!" Leng Chuan choked out one word, making Yun Xi chuckle and even Lu Qingfan smiled.

In the end, he kicked Leng Hai to make the guy calm down.

While they were joking, the carriage drove off the rural road and finally saw the towering city walls of Lingshui City.

Yun Xi traveled for several days without taking a break. She didn't even mention the word "hardship", but her body was still tired after all.

After she and Qingguo took a bath one by one, they didn't even bother to eat and fell asleep with their pillows wet.

When Leng Hai knocked on the door and asked the two of them to have a meal, they saw Qingguo sitting alone at the table and already eating. Only then did he realize that Miss Yun had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

After he returned home, he made "severe" criticisms to his elders, blaming them for not being compassionate. No wonder he was still a bachelor after so many years.

When Leng Hai was kicked out, there was another clear footprint on his butt.

Yun Xi had a good night's sleep and didn't wake up from hunger until about three o'clock in the morning.

While she was putting on a complicated brocade blouse and long skirt, she lamented that the fast journey had prevented her from even having time to wash her dirty clothes, so she could only put on these useless clothes.

"Qingguo! Qingguo?" Yun Xi called twice but no one answered. She whispered to herself: "Where did this girl go to find food?"

She walked out the door and went downstairs. The waiter led her to a private room.

"Master Lu is waiting for you inside." The waiter smiled flatteringly, completely different from his cold attitude yesterday.

"Thank you." Yun Xi knocked on the door and opened the door with Lu Qingfan's permission.

Unexpectedly, there were not only Lu Qingfan and Leng Hai in the room, but also several strangers in official uniforms, but Leng Chuan and Qing Guo were not there.

The middle-aged man with a sad face came forward excitedly and grabbed Yun Xi's arm.

"Yun Wuzuo, you must help me!"

Yun Xi was caught off guard and almost staggered, her body tilted and she bumped into a solid chest.

Lu Qingfan held her shoulders in time, staring at the middle-aged man with dark eyes, a bit of anger already welling up in his eyes.
