Chapter 108 Visit Sima Mansion

Suizhou Governor's Mansion collapsed, but fortunately there is still Suizhou Governor in charge of the overall situation.The governor of Suizhou acted prudently, but because his backer retired and returned to his hometown a few years ago, his power was once suppressed by Zhao Renze, but now he is finally able to regain control of the overall situation, which will not cause chaos in Suizhou.

Chu Xian did not pay attention to these matters of governance.

The Changshi Mansion was seized, and it was full of red gold soldiers in the past few days. No matter how powerful the experts are, they dare not go to investigate at this time. It is estimated that they will be able to sneak into it in a few days after the army withdraws.

So Chu Xian really lived leisurely these few days.

This day and night, Chu Xian was a guest at Sima's Mansion. Although they were not delicacies from mountains and seas, they were exquisite stir-fried dishes, which were comforting to eat.

Shen Jingzong, the Sima of Suizhou, used some means. He was suppressed by the chief historian Zhao Renze before, so many key positions in the army were Zhao Renze's people, just like Cao Yan, who joined the Red Gold Army, but he was not his own. This time Zhao Renze fell , Cao Yan was also dismissed from office and imprisoned. Naturally, Shen Jingzong took this opportunity to regain control of the defense and military power of the entire Suizhou. Of course he was in a good mood.

Naturally, he paid attention to Chu Xian, the key figure who brought down Zhao Renze, especially knowing that his son Shen Ziyi had a good relationship with Chu Xian, so he used this excuse to invite Chu Xian to have a meal.

Although the dishes are home-cooked dishes, the cooks of Sima Mansion cook them exquisitely, and they are paired with 20-year-old wine for a special taste.

Because it was a family banquet, Xiao Pingxuan, Shen Jingzong's wife, also attended.

Compared with Shen Jingzong, the Sima of the fifth-rank military mansion, Chu Xian was even more respectful to Xiao Pingxuan. After all, this was the sister of the fairy official Xiao Yu.

Shen Jingzong and Xiao Pingxuan are very peaceful, they don't put on airs of high officials, after a meal, they get to know each other a lot, because of Shen Ziyi's relationship, Shen Jingzong and Xiao Pingxuan regard Chu Xian as a junior, which is also in line with Chu Xian intention of.

"Nephew, you are really good at debunking the case. You actually dug a hole for Zhao Renze, but how do you know that he will let that Tong Zizao save his son? You must know that Zhao Renze is in the officialdom. In his eyes, nothing is as important as his official position." Shen Jingzong asked a doubt in his heart while drinking tea after dinner.

Next to him, Shen Ziyi took a sip of sweet-scented osmanthus dessert, and also looked curious: "Yeah, I'm also puzzled by this matter."

Although Xiao Pingxuan didn't ask, she still looked at Chu Xian.

Since it was a family banquet, there were only four of them in this room. There were refreshments on the table. Chu Xian also drank a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Zhao Renze has always been conceited. He saved him, but he didn't think it was a trap. In his opinion, Tong Zizai's cultivation base is very high, even higher than Zhao Renze in terms of attack and killing skills. Tong Zizai's attack, unless Master Kong and Cui If the adults join hands, otherwise it will be very difficult to resist, even if it fails, with Tong Zizao's means, it is easy to escape, but unfortunately, Zhao Renze missed these two things, so he fell into the trap."

At this time, Xiao Pingxuan, who rarely spoke, said, "That's because you, Chu Xian, were able to catch Zhao Renze's life with such a good grasp of everything. This time, it's all thanks to you. Ziyi, don't just hang around doing nothing all day long. Learn from Chu Xian. He is about the same age as you. He is already the number one student in Ancheng and a ninth-rank official. His parents can take care of you for ten or 20 years, but they can't take care of you for a lifetime. yourself."

Shen Ziyi guessed that he was afraid of his mother, but at the moment he was honest, nodding his head to be taught, like a good baby.

After his mother finished speaking, his father Shen Jingzong also joined in, saying that Shen Ziyi must participate in the next year's provincial examination, and he must bring back a top student.

Chu Xian watched Shen Ziyi suffering over there, while he drank tea and sipped snacks, and then looked at the time outside the house.

When the tea in the cup was exhausted, Chu Xian bid farewell.

It was night now, so the Shen family did not keep them, and left the Sima Mansion. Chu Xian looked at Qi Chengxiang who was following behind him, and said: "Qi Daochang, you have worked hard these days, go back and rest, I am alone let's go."

Qi Chengxiang wanted to say something else, but Chu Xian said again: "Now Zhao Renze and others have subdued the law. Although Fengcheng is not closed at night, it is not so dangerous. Besides, I just walked and will go back later. Don't worry. .”

Seeing Chu Xian's insistence, Qi Chengxiang could only return first. Chu Xian was right. If he just walked around Fengcheng, he would never encounter any danger. What's more, Qi Chengxiang knew Chu Xian's ability. When encountering a thief, it wasn't Chu Xian who was worried, but the thief.

After Qi Chengxiang left, Chu Xian walked for a while, and then went to a deserted place, changed his clothes, and hid the official amulet.

Chu Xian deliberately dismissed Qi Chengxiang. Naturally, he had something to do, and it was a private matter. Not only could he not use his official status, but he had to hide his identity as much as possible.

Tonight, the Red Gold Army in Changshi Mansion will withdraw, and Changshi Mansion will become an empty mansion.In the past few days, Chu Xian has been there a few times under the name of the Cha Mansion, and has basically figured out the location of the hidden underground cave in the Changshi Mansion. Tonight, Chu Xian plans to enter it to search for the yin and yang phantom carp.

However, there are many crises in the cave of the ancient Taoist Immortal, and Chu Xian alone may not be able to handle it. Fortunately, Chu Xian has already won allies.

Ling Xiang'er from Obscure Moon Pavilion.

At this moment, Chu Xian was going to find Ling Xiang'er, but not to Miyue Pavilion. The reason why Ling Xianger ran to Miyue Pavilion was to find a way to get close to Zhao An.

But it's not needed now, so she left Obscure Moon Pavilion on the day Zhao Renze fell from power.

In a secluded private house in Fengcheng, Ling Xiang'er has changed her attire at the moment. Although she is still beautiful and charming, without the gorgeous and seductive clothing, she loses a sense of elegance and becomes more dignified.Next to her is Xiaohuan, her maidservant, who is also dressed in strong clothes and has two short knives around her waist. The two of them are obviously waiting for someone.

"Miss, could that person have lied to us? What good will it do for him to save the Lord Demon King for us? If there is no benefit, it will be a little suspicious if he helps us." Xiaohuan is small, but he is a A very suspicious girl.

Ling Xiang'er raised her head and looked at the moonlight above her head: "Young Master Chu told me about this matter, there is something he is bound to get where the Lord Demon King is trapped, and he helped us rescue the Demon King, let's help him get it That thing, neither owes anything."

Xiaohuan stuck out her tongue and didn't say any more.

At this moment, there was movement at the door, and then someone knocked on the door, Xiaohuan was stunned for a moment, and then said: "It must be that Mr. Chu who came."

After finishing speaking, he stepped forward to open the door, but when the door opened, there was a hunchbacked old woman on crutches standing outside.

The old woman wore a grimace mask on her face, standing there with a trace of weirdness.
