Great Swordsman

Chapter 137
In the vast mist, a fast boat crosses Taihu Lake.

Li Mu stood at the bow of the boat, looking at the bright moon in the sky.

I don't know if it's Li Mu's illusion, but he always feels that the bright moon tonight is extraordinarily bright, and bigger, with awe-inspiring aura, and he can faintly see the outline of the mountains on the moon!
"County Li is so excited." Lin Zhihe paced out after changing clothes, his long beard fluttering in the night wind, and he was graceful.

Behind him was the butler, who was holding a bright yellow imperial decree.

The imperial decree has been washed briefly, but it still has some smell, so take it out and blow it to remove the smell.

Li Mu walked upwind calmly, and asked: "Lord Sheriff, you made the imperial decree into such a virtue, will we be fine after we enter the capital?"

This imperial decree was issued by the little emperor, and now the feces and feces that have been messed up, if it is really pursued, it is at least a crime of disrespect!

"Cough cough." Lin Zhihe coughed dryly twice, and said, "Magistrate Li, don't worry, after I enter Beijing, I only need to take the imperial decree to communicate with the officials of the post station, and the people in the palace will not be disturbed."

I hope so... Li Mu continued to admire the moon.

At this time, Zhao Binhong and the boy named Bai Longma also came to the deck to blow the wind.

When Lin Zhihe saw it, he hurriedly drew the white dragon horse to his side, and said softly: "Longma, now that you have avenged your blood, you can follow this county guard with peace of mind in the future. After entering Beijing, this county guard will immediately buy the elixir. Refining Tendon Pill!"

"Mr. Lin, have you ever heard a poem saying that you are passionate and have nothing to hate, and this hatred is endless." Zhao Binhong stepped forward with a cold snort, and said in a low voice, "I advise Sheriff Lin not to daydream, Longma will not follow you of!"

"Heh, why not follow you?" Lin Zhihe sneered.

Bai Longma was stuck in the middle by two people, in a dilemma.

To be honest, if Li Mu helped him avenge, he should agree with his body, but he said before that he will serve whoever can cure him, and one cannot keep his word.

Moreover, he was forced by Lin Zhihe and Zhao Binhong to swear that he could not tell Li Mu that he had seven purple qi.

Felt like a dupe!
"What are you muttering about?" Li Mu came over curiously, he always felt that this horse... Cough, this white dragon horse is mysterious and seems to be tricky.

"Hehe, I'm waiting to admire the moon, County Magistrate Li is overthinking." Lin Zhihe quickly changed the subject.

"Yes, yes, the moon is very big tonight, completely different from my moon in Tai'a County." Zhao Binhong chimed in.

"That's true. The same moon, viewed from Taihu Lake, is indeed bigger than seen from other places." Bai Longma said, "There are rumors that this moon god has spirits."

"Are you familiar with Taihu Lake?" Li Mu asked curiously.

"Well, I grew up in Taihu Lake. My parents were both fishermen. Before Ziqi came to the east, although there were water bandits here, they were not serious. Although the fishermen's lives were hard, they could survive if they worked hard. But after Ziqi came to the east, Taihu Lake There are more and more water bandits." Bai Longma frowned suddenly, as if thinking of something, and said, "Speaking of it, it seems that after the moon became bigger, the water bandits became more and more intense."

The strangest thing is that the governor of Gusu seems to have no intention of suppressing the bandits, allowing the Taihu water bandits to do their best.

"If that's the case, could it be that the moon..." Li Mu raised his head to look at the moon, thinking of the 'Nine...' who claimed to be himself on Qingti Island. Shou Junwei, and can make Gusu County Shoudu "stand still"?
There was an eerie silence on the deck.

Li Mu came back to his senses and asked, "By the way, the three of you have been dismissed, why don't you see you worry?"

"As long as the governor of this county is still the governor of Tai'a, even a cripple can still be loyal to the country!" Lin Zhihe said righteously.

"That's right, to protect the family and defend the country, the captain of the county will do his part!" Zhao Binhong also had patriotic feelings in his chest.

Li Mu only felt that he was far from the original score.

The two of them put on a show like this, they must be hiding something.

And Bai Longma, who knew the truth, felt uncomfortable. He watched Lin Zhihe and Zhao Binhong talking nonsense, and felt that these two people were as virtuous as those tyrannical officials!
On the contrary, County Magistrate Li, although killing people like hemp, is more like a knight.

Speaking of it, I was able to escape from the water prison. Although it was also related to these two people, I should thank County Magistrate Li more, and he even avenged my blood... Bai Longma rolled his eyes and said immediately: "Magistrate Li doesn't know something. , Longhu Mountain has a kind of elixir called Xujin Dan, which can continue to connect tendons! As long as the dantian is not destroyed, it can be cured."

"Xu Jin Pill?" Li Mu looked suspiciously at Lin Zhihe and Zhao Binhong.

Those two were in a hurry.

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Bai Longma, you made an oath!"

Facing the distraught two people, Bai Longma even looked down on them from the bottom of his heart, humming: "I didn't swear not to say these things."

With that said, he turned his head to look at Li Mu, and said, "I said before in the water prison that I will serve whoever can help me recover!"

Lin Zhihe was in a hurry, he picked up the imperial decree and gagged him in a panic.

Zhao Binhong also yelled: "Bai Longma! You broke your oath, you are worse than a pig or a dog!"

Bai Longma retched and defended: "I didn't, my oath is that I will never..."

The two were in a hurry, and quickly joined hands to cover his mouth with the imperial decree.

Bai Longma retched and almost fainted.

After finally breaking free, he panted and said, "In short, I will definitely keep the vow I made, and the things I promised will not change. There is no conflict between the two!"

Although Li Mu didn't know the exact situation, he could tell that this white dragon horse might be a genius, so that Lin Zhihe and Zhao Binhong were fighting for him.

He thought for a while and asked, "Is the Sujin Pill sold in the Imperial Capital?"

Lin Zhihe snorted softly and said, "Xujin Dan needs to be refined from precious medicinal materials such as thousand-year-old pearls, century-old Polygonum multiflorum, and century-old banlangen. In addition, there are few people who make alchemy, so even in the Imperial Capital, it is extremely precious. According to the book The county guard knows that unless you are the son of a powerful person, you will not sell it to others. If you want to renew the tendon pill, you have to prepare the medicinal materials yourself, and then pay a lot of money to hire someone to make the pill."

Zhao Binhong continued: "Among these medicinal materials, each one is quite precious, but the rarest of them is naturally the millennium pearl. The rest of the medicinal materials should be available in the medicine halls in the imperial capital that are more than a hundred years old."

"Millennium Pearl, coincidence, I happen to have one in my hand." Li Mu laughed.

Back then, under the statue of King Qingping's dragon head, he got a huge fist-sized pearl that could shine in a dark room, but now it can come in handy!

Lin Zhihe and Zhao Binhong were dumbfounded when they heard this.

"Magistrate Li, as the saying goes, a gentleman does not take what others like, you..." Lin Zhihe said anxiously.

Li Mu interrupted him with a smile: "Lord Sheriff, who is the saying?"

"He, he is..." Lin Zhihe said angrily, "He is not someone, County Magistrate Li, as the saying goes... as the old saying goes, come first, come first, this time, Captain Zhao and I met Longma first, you are a gentleman, you need the beauty of an adult !"

Adults are indeed beautiful, but twisted melons are not sweet. Li Mu stopped arguing with them, but looked at the white dragon horse and said, "Millennium pearls are extremely precious, and I will not accept incompetent people."

Bai Longma smiled confidently: "I will not disappoint you!"

"You, you..." Lin Zhihe and Zhao Binhong looked at the two people who were flirting, feeling depressed.

……

Dijing.

Zhang Yulang, who covered his face with a veiled hat, finally returned home.

Not long after, Yiqi left from the back door of Zhangfu and went straight to Zhuque Street. Soon, Zhang Ziyao returned in a carriage.

"Father."

In the quiet room, after washing, Zhang Yulang knelt down to Zhang Ziyao and wept bitterly, "Father, it's Yulang who didn't take good care of Yucheng. It's all my fault. It's all my fault. Huh..."

"Hey." Zhang Ziyao let out a long sigh and helped him up, "This is his fate, Yulang, don't blame yourself."

"Father, I, I..." Zhang Yulang blamed himself and was grateful at the same time, weeping uncontrollably.

"Okay, the deceased is gone, and there is still a troublesome thing waiting for you and me." Zhang Ziyao asked in a deep voice, "Yulang, do you know about the death of King Shu in Qingping County?"

"I heard about it on the way to Beijing, but father, when the ice dragon soared, I saw the king of Shu walking against the wind with my own eyes! He... Could it be that Li Mu killed the king of Shu?" Zhang Yulang put away his sadness and said solemnly.

"This person has such courage and strength?" Zhang Ziyao exclaimed in surprise, and immediately shook his head, "Dragon veins transform into dragons, and all the treasures must be taken away. If the King of Shu returns with a full load, Li Mu may kill someone with envy, but the King of Shu has nothing. Li Mu Why risk the world's disapproval and kill the King of Shu?"

Zhang Yulang compares his heart with his heart for this reason: "Father said so."

"Hey, no matter what the truth is about this matter, the fact that you and the King of Shu met at the tomb of King Qingping must not be made public!" Zhang Ziyao said, "This time, His Majesty's trial will not be sloppy. Prepare yourself, and I will take you to see him." Left side!"

"Yes, Father!"

……

a few days later.

The body of the king of Shu was also sent to the imperial capital under the desperate efforts of the posthouse!

Nine days should be Yuanshen Mansion.

Yufeng Pavilion.

The ice-cold body of King Shu was quietly placed under the pavilion, surrounded by King Chu, King Yan, Sanshi Sangong and others from all directions to pay their respects.

"Let's perform an autopsy on Brother Xia first." Yan Wang Jihan said sadly.

Grand Tutor Jiang Mingyuan shook his head: "No, since Your Majesty wants to try the murder case of His Highness the King of Shu, the autopsy should be left to His Majesty's people."

"Teacher said so." Ji Han nodded.

"By the way, have you notified the Prince of Shu?" Jiang Mingyuan asked.

Grand Master Pang nodded: "I have sent someone to notify, hey."

Half an hour later, two imperial doctors and two assistants came to the palace, and they jointly performed an autopsy on the King of Shu.

Halfway through the autopsy, the prince of Shu also arrived.

The son of the King of Shu is named Ji Hui, and he is one of the nine great talents in the imperial capital. The purple energy comes from the east to absorb eight pieces of purple energy.

Ji Hui looks handsome and heroic, his eyes are like lightning, and he is tall and mighty. He travels like a dragon all over the world, with a domineering aura!
"I've met my son." The third teacher and the third gentleman saluted slightly.

"Ah Hui, my condolences." Yan Wang Ji Han patted him on the shoulder.

Chu Wang Ji Changkong next to him just nodded slightly.

"Thank you for your concern." Ji Hui returned the salute, and then entered the Yufeng Pavilion.

"What's the result of the autopsy?" Ji Hui looked down at the body of the King of Shu with a painful expression on his face, but everyone could see that there was not much sadness on Ji Hui's body.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the King of Shu has no external injuries, but his brain has been shattered, and he is suspected to have been shocked to death by Yin Gong." A servant said.

"Are you sure you were killed by the sound of the dragon's chant?" Ji Hui asked.

The two Wu Zuo looked at each other and said: "The villain is incompetent. He can neither prove that His Highness the King of Shu was shaken to death by the sound of the dragon's chant, nor can he prove that he was not shaken to death by the sound of the dragon's chant."

Ji Hui frowned: "What's the use of you!"

"My lord, forgive me." The two assistants quickly knelt down.

"His Royal Highness, calm down!" The two imperial doctors beside him also sighed. The corpse was so clean that there were no other traces left except for the wound on the head.

"His Royal Highness, rest assured, if this matter is man-made, we will definitely find out the truth and avenge His Royal Highness the King of Shu!" Jiang Mingyuan said.

"There are monks in my shrine who regard sincerity as the way, and under their influence, they can force others to tell the truth!" Grand Master Pang also said, "There are also monks in Qin Tianjian who have similar means. When the relevant people arrive, they can ask the truth."

"I hope so." Ji Hui frowned, with an inexplicable intuition in his heart that things...wouldn't go so smoothly!
And...Since the father is dead, he should inherit the position of the master of the Shenfu, and the two uncles, six masters, and the public are in charge of the Nine Heavens Yingyuan Shenfu, but now, these eight are all silent. Talk about it!
Ah.

He sneered and stood aside waiting for the autopsy to finish.

Half an hour later, the two imperial doctors and Wu Zuo finally finished their work and said, "My lords, lords, and princes, the autopsy has been completed, and I will return to the palace to return to my life."

"My son is with you." Ji Hui turned around and walked away.

Passing through the Immortal Gate, a group of five people, led by the eunuch, came to the side hall of Tianyuan Hall.

On the side hall.

The little emperor Ji Xuan and the empress Qin Mengyao were at the head of the hall, Zhang Xi, the chief inspector of ceremonies, was on the side, Leng Mei with the sword, You Lan with the piano, Zhu'er with the painting, and Xiaoju with the chess player stood on both sides of the side hall.

"See Your Majesty."

"I have seen Your Majesty."

After the five people saluted, an imperial doctor presented the autopsy results.

Ji Xuan checked carefully and asked about the autopsy process from time to time.

On the side, the empress with icy muscles and fine bones and beautiful national beauty lowered her eyebrows and sat dignifiedly, but her long curved eyelashes trembled slightly, showing her restless mood.

In the palace, Ji Hui, the son of the King of Shu, stood with his hands behind his back, looking at...the empress with burning eyes.

Qin Mengyao was born in the Qin family, and she and Ji Hui were childhood sweethearts, childhood sweethearts, but unfortunately, the Qin family sent Qin Mengyao to the palace in order to get the biggest thigh, and finally, she became a queen!

Ji Hui knew that Ji Xuan was a child with no hair at all, unable to have fun in fish and water, so Mengyao must still have a perfect body...His eyes were bright, like two fire lights, dimming the entire hall.

Empress Qin Mengyao's starry eyes slightly closed, and a hint of helplessness appeared on her beautiful face.

Zhang Xi, who was standing in a high position, had cold sweat on his forehead. This is not a reminder, nor is it not to be reminded. Oh, our house should be under the bed, not here.

On both sides of the main hall, the sword servant Leng Mei looked indifferently, the piano servant You Lan sighed silently, and the painting servant Zhu'er was very bold, grinning at Ji Hui with fierce breasts.

Chess servant Xiaoju lowered her head: Zzz
After half the payment, Ji Xuan finally read the autopsy results and said, "Sister Queen, you should take a look too."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qin Mengyao stretched out her slender fingers.

"Your Majesty!" Ji Hui finally withdrew his gaze, and said loudly, "My father shared the worries of the king, but died innocently and tragically. Please, Your Majesty must thoroughly investigate to the end, and give my father justice!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth and let Uncle Shu Wang rest in peace!" Ji Xuan looked serious.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing!" Ji Hui said, "My father is dead, and my younger brother wants to succeed my father as the Lord of the Divine Mansion, please give your Majesty the consent!"

"It's only natural for a son to inherit his father's business, I agree!" Ji Xuan said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!!" A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Hui's mouth, and he bowed heartily.
