The national teacher does not practice

Chapter 168 Xu Yuanyun, I Found You
"invitation?"

In Yi Jing Zhai, Ji Pingan sat behind a table covered with yellow silk, looking at the post presented by the big maid in front of him.

The maid named "He'er" stood respectfully, with her head bowed slightly, no longer the arrogance she had when she first came to the door with Pei Qiuwei that day.

I don't know if it was because of the day when Ji Pingan, the "Gua Gua Master", suppressed "Zhou Banxian" and others, or because he was repeatedly told not to collide with them before coming here.

At this time, he said "Yes" and said:

"Madame and Miss invite you to come to the house at your convenience, so that I can thank you in person."

That day when the hexagram seeker went to Pei's mansion, the other party did say:

If Ji Ping'an's advice is valuable, he will repay.

However, the clue given by Ji Pingan at that time was that the case of the corpse of the magician could be intercepted and used as a breakthrough to investigate...

But in fact, Patriarch Pei was found in a different way that no one expected.

Therefore, the "thank you" that the maid said was more of an excuse and pretext.The real purpose should be that Ji Ping'an rescued Pei Wuju, and the other party found an excuse to establish a deeper connection with him...

Many thoughts turned around, and Ji Pingan did not expose this layer. Anyway, he really wanted to go to Pei's to get more information about "Curse Killing Sanren".

He nodded slightly, raised his hand to pick up the gilded post, and said:

"This afternoon, I will go to the house."

The servant girl He'er was obviously relieved, and gave a blessing:
"Mr. Waiting."

After finishing speaking, she turned around and picked up the oil-paper umbrella placed by the door, and was about to leave by car
——With the status of the rich family of the Pei family, the treatment she can enjoy as a maid is better than that of many young ladies from small families, such as being able to ride in Pei's carriage when going out.

When the people left, Ji Pingan pinched the post and thought for a while, got up and closed the door of the Gua Hall, changed his clothes, and walked out of Laoliu Street.

When passing by Mud Bottle Lane, he happened to bump into the "landlord" who was holding a tub.

Fang Ling seemed to have finished starching and washing clothes, the wooden basin was full of wet clothes, the woman was still wearing an old-fashioned sarong, her hair was fixed with iron hairpins, she seemed a little preoccupied.

The two bumped into each other, and she suddenly woke up from her distraction. When she raised her head, she raised her eyebrows habitually, with an unfriendly look. After seeing "Li Anping" clearly, her expression eased:
"Xiao Li... sir, are you going out?"

Ji Pingan nodded with a smile: "Go out and do something."

In the past few days, he was busy investigating cases in the city, but he put aside the matter of the landlady.

However, after confirming that he is not a "reborn person" and only has some connection with Tingxuelou, Ji Ping'an didn't pay much attention at all.

In the past thousand years of his life, he has traveled all over the world, and he has seen too many things in the world, so he no longer has too many boring curiosity.

After all, stories in the world are the same as people, if you see them a lot, you will feel the same.

Fang Ling let out an "oh", and was not in the mood for a conversation, let alone recognize that the person in front of her was the mysterious strong man who saved her life that day.

When the two passed by, the woman suddenly stopped, called him, and said hesitantly:
"I heard from the neighbors that you are very good at divination? Have all the important figures of the Pei family come to ask for divination?"

"Whispering rumors are not enough to be believed." Ji Pingan said casually, then blinked:
"The lady of the Fang family wants to divination?"

"...No, not yet." Fang Ling shook her head, looking worried, then turned her head and left.

Ji Pingan smiled, as long as the rebirth was not involved, he didn't have much thought to pry into the secrets of a Jiang Hu woman.

……

the other side.

Fang Ling carried the tub back to the front of her courtyard, pushed open the double wooden doors, and began to dry clothes on the hemp rope in the midday sun.

Just seemed a little absent-minded.

Not far away, the door was pushed open with a narrow gap, and an eyeball stuck to the gap, staring at the square bell where the clothes were drying, then slowly narrowed, and then, the gap gradually widened...

Fang Ling, who was drying the clothes, was distracted when suddenly her ears moved. With the warrior's keen sense of hearing, she caught the abnormal movement and turned her head to look.

I saw a short, fat little boy sneaking out of the room and walking along the base of the wall towards the back door.

His attire is rather strange:

Around the short and thick waist is a wide sarong, which is smeared with the black ash of the stove, imitating the style of the tiger skin skirt. The upper body is wearing a yellowish white gown, and a red silk cloth is tied around the neck. .

A monkey mask sold in the streets and alleys was tied with hemp rope on the face, but a weird ring was woven with willow branches on the top of the head and put on the head.

He even held a wooden stick in his hand. The stick was painted in three sections with paint he didn't know where to get.

If Ji Ping'an was here, although he might be confused for a while, he would definitely recognize that this is the classic dress of Monkey King.

Similarly, it is also an image of a mythical figure that does not exist in this world.

"Fang! Shi! Jie!"

Fang Ling's eyes widened with anger, and the Lion Roared from the River East.

Suddenly, Fang Shijie, who had been sneaking out on his feet, shuddered and froze in place.

Then he swallowed his mouth and spit, his eyes turned hard, he pouted his buttocks and rushed out, shouting hey while running:

"Kids, practice..."

Fang Ling's head was full of smoke, rolled up his sleeves and rushed forward, pushed "Monkey King" down, took off his pants, picked up the laundry mallet, and flattened his round butt...

"What the hell are you playing?! Are you mad at me? Let you practice, do you want to practice? Ah?"

While cursing, it was accompanied by the crisp sound of "Papa Papa" and Fang Shijie's cry of "Aoao".

The little boy burst into tears, his eyes were gloomy:
According to his plan, he originally planned to dress up as this appearance that only a few people such as the national teacher knew, and make a scene in Yuhang City to gain fame...

I don't want His Majesty the Divine Emperor to shed tears in humiliation.

outside the wall.

A group of children also wearing monkey masks and holding bamboo poles and wooden sticks looked at each other as they heard the crying in the yard.

At the end, someone sniffed the snot:

"Is the king unable to come out?"

……

……

Ji Pingan left Laoliu Street, first went to a small stall two streets away to have lunch, and then walked slowly along the main road towards the Qinhuai River, then crossed the bridge to the south bank, and walked along the river bottom to Pei's Mansion.

Along the way, you can hear discussions about Pei's family.

Obviously, this incident caused a great stir in the city.

When Ji Ping'an arrived near Pei's main residence, he unexpectedly found that there were many vehicles and horses coming and going.

The main entrance of the mansion was hung with pure white silk tapestry, and the red lanterns were also replaced with white ones.

Mainly a depressing style.

And just as he walked to the door, he happened to see two figures coming out of Pei's gate, they were Song Xuezheng and his daughter.

Song Qinglian didn't wear official robes, but was dressed as a literati, with serious features, and he was nearly fifty years old, but his back was still straight, and the scribe's robes on his body were spotless, without any wrinkles.

"Song Xue is walking slowly." The butler of the mansion stood on the steps of the door and said.

Song Qinglian waved his hands, didn't say anything, and looked quite sad. When he boarded the carriage, he turned his head and looked at Ji Pingan who was coming from a distance, slightly curious, but that was all, and got up and got into the carriage.

Waiting for the carriage to roll away, Miss Song, who was seated in the same carriage, poked her head out of the curtain curiously, and said:

"Father, the young Taoist priest came in, and the housekeeper welcomed him in. Why haven't I heard that there is such a person in Yuhang?"

Song Xuezheng squeezed the center of his eyebrows, and said a little tiredly:
"There are too many people in the city, how many do you know?"

He didn't have the heart to discuss an inconspicuous person with his daughter. At this moment, he was thinking about how to investigate information and wait for the "sword holder" to ask about major matters.

Song Qinglian is quite diligent... Is he just here to visit, or is he looking for information for me?Or both?
...Unfortunately, I probably won't be able to use the information obtained by Lao Song this time...

Ji Pingan murmured in his heart, and after showing the invitation card, under the respectful eyes of the housekeeper, he walked into the gate, and entered Pei's mansion again after a few days.

With the previous experience, he is familiar with the path a lot.

Walking along the road, everywhere is dyed white, a great mourning atmosphere, everyone in the mansion has white silk wrapped around their heads, with sad faces, no smiles, and the atmosphere is tense and heavy.

When he was guided by the housekeeper and arrived at the hall a few days ago, he found that Pei's mother and daughter were already waiting inside.

Apparently, after he entered the mansion, some servants rushed forward to report the news.

It's just been a few days, the Pei mother and daughter's clothes have changed drastically, Li Xiangjun is wearing a black dress, and the jewelry on his head has been reduced a lot, and the most conspicuous golden step has been replaced by a dark black hairpin.

Pei Qiuwei, on the contrary, was dressed in white, which set off the woman's beauty, but the premise was to ignore the slightly swollen eyeballs.

The custom of Dazhou: when a relative dies, the elder wears black and the younger wears white.

The seniority here refers more to seniority and status than to age, just like the steward who leads the way is older, but his status is far inferior to that of the master, and he wears white silk on his head.

"Mr. Li, you're here." Seeing him approaching from the outside, Li Xiangjun, who was seated at the head seat, got up and forced a smile.

When she first heard the news of the eldest son's death, the mistress fainted in public, but was distraught when she was awakened afterwards.

However, as the mistress in charge of a family's back house, this beautiful woman seems weak, but in fact she has a strong side.

Besides, to put it bluntly, when the eldest son disappeared, he had a premonition of the outcome, so he calmed down quickly.

Afterwards, after talking with Pei Wei, the head of the family who had been rescued, and Ye Hongling, and learning part of the situation, this grief was replaced by a more complicated emotion.

Until today, only fear and joy are left...

Ji Pingan nodded: "Ma'am, you are welcome. I heard that something happened in the house, and I wish you condolences."

While talking, he sat down on the guest seat, and when a servant finished serving tea, Pei Qiuwei waved his hand and sent the servant away, and then looked at him, with a gentle demeanor, the sweet and hidden number one talent, with a gloomy expression:

"Mr. also heard about it."

Ji Pingan gave an "en" and said, "I heard that some criminals killed the eldest son..."

He narrated the rumors in the market, the mother and daughter looked at each other with different expressions, Li Xiangjun hesitated to speak.

Apparently, they both respected and were wary of Ji Pingan, the mysterious "guarantor".

Not planning to reveal the truth hastily, Li Xiangjun just said euphemistically:
"The rumors in the market are exaggerated. This case is somewhat complicated. The leader of the demon slayer, Yesi, is still investigating, so it's hard to say for sure."

Tsk... be careful, this will be more troublesome, even if you ask to see Pei Wei, I'm afraid the latter will not tell me the truth... What should I do, should I ask Pei Wuju to come forward?
Ji Pingan thought in his heart, pondered for a while, did not delve into it, but asked:

"Slayer the demon? I heard from the outside that the Yamen officials sent to the mountain outside the city the night before and brought Patriarch Pei back. Could it be that there was a breakthrough in the case of the bodyguard being killed earlier?"

Li Xiangjun shook his head lightly and sighed:
"It's not because of this case, but because of the guidance of a Si Li in the Onmyoji Academy."

Many people knew about this matter, so it wasn't a secret, so she didn't try to hide it.

Onmyoji Academy?

Calendar?

Do star officials in Yuhang City have this ability?

Ji Ping'an was keenly aware that something was wrong. Although he had only broken through the Ninth Realm, but because of the special way of "Taiyin" and the level of astrology, he thought that in the field of astrology, he could not lose to Sitting Star Official.

He couldn't even get enlightenment, even if Li Guofeng, Xu Xiurong and the others came, unless several supervisors joined forces, they would not be able to surpass him.

"Is it the supervisor in the academy?" He asked tentatively.

Li Xiangjun shook his head, and described the process of how he found out that a new old Si Li had arrived, how he went to beg him to help, and how he got enlightenment.

Hearing that Ji Pingan's eyes were strange:
"Ma'am, you mean that old Si Li has a white beard and white hair, with a kind face?"

"Yes." Li Xiangjun nodded and said with emotion:

"If it wasn't for this old god, I, Mrs. Pei, wouldn't be able to find it so quickly..."

Halfway through speaking, she suddenly realized that this was inappropriate and her EQ was negative, so she hurriedly added:

"Of course, sir's guidance is also of great contribution. Today, I specially invited him to come to the house, and thank you in person."

But Ji Pingan didn't care about her polite words, and his mind was full of two words:

What the hell!

Possessing the "horoscope" ability beyond the realm of sitting in a well, and this appearance, or Yuhang, who arrived not long ago... Ji Ping'an has a name in his heart that is ready to come out.

No, it's my big disciple who doesn't know where he drifted to come over.

That's right, according to what Li Guofeng said that day, in order to find an opportunity to break through the "Sacred Treasure", Jianzheng left the capital of God to imitate the former national teacher, and walked the world in Kyushu.

Even Shendu Dashang didn't bother to come back to take a look, but the natal card was not cracked, which meant that he was still alive.

Now that the heavens and the earth have been loosened, and the spiritual essence has been revived, it is impossible for the old prisoner to be unaware.And Xin Yaoguang also said that Lingsu is gathering towards Lanzhou... In terms of sensing the stars, besides himself, Qin Tianjian is rightly the number one in the world.

Then, following the guidelines, it is not surprising to come to Yuhang to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.

Wait... If he is in the Yin Yang Academy, but he has already paid attention to Pei's affairs, then he may be aware of my existence... Well, to be precise, he has noticed the genius star official "Ji Pingan" exist……

During the ups and downs of his thoughts, Ji Ping'an was a little distracted.

It wasn't until Pei Qiuwei called softly that he came back to his senses, smiled apologetically, and said:
"I didn't expect a star official from the capital of God to come here. I'm a little surprised."

Li Xiangjun also felt lucky from the bottom of his heart.

And just when Ji Pingan was thinking about how to start the conversation so that he could meet Pei Wei, suddenly, there was a noise from outside the hall, accompanied by small footsteps and quarrels.

The three people in the hall looked up at the same time, Pei Qiuwei frowned, and was about to order his servants to ask, when he saw Wu Yang and a group of people had broken into the courtyard.

They were all men in brocade clothes, some old and some young, and there was a circle of Pei's servants trying to stop them, but they didn't dare to really charge each other.

Ji Pingan raised his eyebrows, and noticed that the faces of Pei's mother and daughter had changed significantly.

"Second Uncle, Third Uncle...why didn't you tell me in advance when you came here?"

Li Xiangjun stood up, and at this moment, this beautiful woman who was still sad and melancholy a second ago regained her dignified and calm posture.

The uncle here does not mean seniority, but refers to the brother of the Patriarch Pei Wei.

Similar to Pan Jinlian calling Wu Song, he also called "Second Uncle".

So, this group of people are Pei's "Second House", "Third House" and other branches... Tsk, I remember when I came to the door last time, I said that the reason why I secretly escorted the remnant of the magician was not to use Pei's masters. Just to be wary of the rest of the houses... This is knowing that the strength of the head house has been damaged, so he came to test the truth?

Ji Pingan is not surprised by the intrigue of such a big family, and waits and sees the changes.

"Sister-in-law, they are all from my own family, so if you want to report, you will be born."

The one at the head of the crowd, a middle-aged man with a figure of Kong Wu who was somewhat similar to Pei Wei, smiled, glanced at Ji Pingan suspiciously, and said:
"Oh, so you are receiving guests, what's your name?"

Li Xiangjun's face darkened, and he interrupted him:

"Since the uncles know that my mother and daughter are entertaining guests, please wait in the side hall first, so as not to be seen by outsiders, and think that my Pei clan does not understand etiquette."

Hearing that, a group of people looked ugly, and the middle-aged Kong Wu let out a "hey" and didn't care about Ji Pingan any more, saying:
"Sister-in-law, I, as an uncle, can't pretend that I didn't hear it. You are only allowed to share the same room with a man. Why don't you let us see it?"

Retort!

"you!"

Anger welled up on Li Xiangjun's charming face, and his chest heaved, and Pei Qiuwei who was beside him also said:

"You elders think that our mother and daughter are easy to bully?"

Another person said indifferently: "Do you have the right to speak as a junior here?"

Pei Qiuwei was at a loss for words, her pretty face was filled with anger.

But the talented girl Pei, who has been polite since elementary school, really can't do rude actions. She has a lot of talent to learn, but she can't fight back.

Li Xiangjun took a deep breath, and his expression became cold:
"In this case, if you have something to say, just say it. Why are you here today? If you want to express your condolences, you can go to the mourning hall."

The middle-aged man Kong Wu looked arrogant:

"My eldest nephew is dead, of course I will visit, but in comparison, it is more important for the family to confirm the injury of the eldest brother. Sister-in-law, don't think I am rude, it stands to reason... the elder brother and the nephew are out If it's over, you should discuss it with us, or at least send someone to notify you.

But in the end, he kept suppressing the news, and only made a funeral when the person died and couldn't cover it.There is no such reason in the world, how can the Pei family's 400-year foundation be such a joke... We are here today to meet the elder brother. "

Li Xiangjun said calmly:

"Husband has suffered some injuries, plus the pain of losing his son, and now he is retreating at the mansion without seeing anyone. I will meet you when he leaves the seclusion."

Kong Wu's middle-aged man said: "If this is the case, I want to see you more."

Li Xiangjun never backed down:

"Wu Fu's retreat, what an important matter, what if something goes wrong when an outsider breaks in?"

"If there is a mistake, how about the old man to bear it?" Suddenly, an old voice came from behind the crowd.

Everyone moved away, and an old man with white hair and crutches walked tremblingly, supported by the younger generation.

Li Xiangjun's expression changed slightly: "Fourth Uncle..."

The fourth uncle walked up to the people, leaning on a cane with both hands, looked at her coldly, and said angrily:

"Pei Wei is both the head of the family and the elder brother. Now that there is a catastrophe, it is natural for brothers to come to visit. You, a woman, want to stop you, what is your intention?"

Li Xiangjun muttered: "Uncle...I..."

"Dole!" The old man hit the ground with his walking stick and interrupted:
"You are a woman with a baby girl, when will you be able to make the decision for the long house? If you want to refute the old man, you should let Pei Qian come and say it!"

No... It's okay to be patriarchal in front of me... Ji Ping'an is not happy.

But he has also understood:

Apart from Pei Wuju, the only remaining "fourth uncle" of the older generation of the Pei family should have been carried out by the rest of the family to support the scene.

The purpose is to forcibly test the extent of Pei Wei's injury.

Judging from this, the next attack on the long house... the power struggle of the rich and powerful will always be so simple and unpretentious.

As the master mother, Li Xiangjun can barely resist the other "uncles", but facing the fourth uncle, who is a junior, any rebuttal will be interpreted as disrespect for the elderly... very rascal, but a useful strategy.

As for Pei Qian... even if he is an underage young master, he will still be delivering food.

This wave has been planned for a long time.

Ji Ping was a little hesitant about whether to intervene, but after all, this was an internal family matter of the Pei family, and he couldn't favor one side even for the sake of "Pei Sanniang"'s affection in the past.

As for Li Xiangjun's evasion, it seems that Pei Wei's situation is indeed not good...

"Who is it, making noise here again?!"

Just when the atmosphere froze, suddenly, a deep and old voice pierced into everyone's ears from a distance!

The sound was obviously not loud, but it was like the beating of a drum, making one's heart vibrate.

Everyone turned their heads to look, and then their expressions became extremely exciting.

On the path on the other side of the courtyard, two figures came one after the other.

The leader was an old man wearing a short robe of a warrior, with long hair tied like weeds casually tied behind his head, with a firm face and lightning-like eyes.

Pei Wuju!
And behind him was the third young master, Pei Qian, who was like a follower with a slightly round face.

"Third...Third brother! Aren't you already insane? Why..." The fourth uncle, who was on crutches, seemed to be struck by lightning. Looking at the old man approaching, he was so frightened that he almost fell down.

The heirs of the other houses also turned pale with shock, showing expressions of disbelief.

Over the years, outsiders may have forgotten Pei Wuju, but how could the people at the helm of the Pei family ignore this ZTE Patriarch?

However, they were sure that the old Patriarch's insanity had become more and more serious in the past two years. Although he was sober occasionally, it was not enough to handle family affairs, let alone get out of that other garden.

But the person in front of him, where is the slightest bit of madness?
"Patriarch..." The middle-aged man Kong Wu and the others showed off their power, and the menacing clansmen instantly became half shorter, like a dog facing a lion.

Pei Wuju glanced at the crowd coldly, and snorted coldly:
"In the past, when the old man came back from his studies, he also witnessed the internal strife in the family. I don't think that after all these years, you haven't made any progress."

Everyone's face turned pale, and they didn't even have the courage to explain.

Pei Wuju looked at the octogenarian again, and said disdainfully:

"Fourth, it's not easy for you to live until now. Is it not good to take good care of your life? Do you want to get involved in the fights of the younger generation? Or...you have forgotten the promise of the past? If you forget, I will remind you once , your fourth wife was able to survive, and you have lived a good life these years, but you and your father swore an oath not to participate in power struggles, which prevented the clan from being cleansed... Are you going to break the contract now?"

"thump!"

When the words fell, the fourth uncle was unsteady and fell to the ground, as if thinking of the memory of his youth, he shook his head with a pale face:
"No...no, this is a misunderstanding, I just came to see... let's go now, let's go now."

As he said that, under the watchful eyes of a group of juniors, he left almost like a shit.

Silent.

Some juniors who have never experienced that era, such as Pei Qiuwei and Pei Qian's siblings, worshiped with their eyes, and only felt that their grandfather was so tall and stalwart as a god.

Pei Wuju looked at the others again:
"What about you? Still not leaving? Or wait for the old man to make a move?"

Kong Wu's middle-aged man was shocked. When he came back to his senses, how could he dare to fight an old lunatic who was sitting at the top of the well and only one step into the sky?
Immediately apologized, turned around and ran away, fearing that the old Patriarch would go mad and run over them all to death.

In the blink of an eye, the farce that was originally blocked in front of the hall disappeared like this. Li Xiangjun heaved a sigh of relief, first waved his hand to dismiss the servants, and then asked curiously: "Father, why do you..."

Pei Qian rushed to speak: "Mother, it was my grandfather who I heard they barged in and thought there must be trouble."

The mother and daughter were relieved and had a headache. They were relieved that Pei Qian had grown a lot.

Having a headache, exposed the fact that the old Patriarch had regained his sobriety, and violated the old man's instructions.

Pei Wuju saw what they were thinking, shook his head and said:

"It doesn't matter. From their point of view, the old man just temporarily suppressed the madness, and he is not far from death. However, at least it can keep you quiet for a while."

The mother and daughter looked gloomy and did not answer.

At this time, Pei Wuju also noticed that Ji Pingan was sitting in the hall, drinking tea and watching a play, his face immediately became serious, and he bowed his hands respectfully:

"Mr. came to the mansion, and the martial arts is far away."

Wow - Seeing this scene, the mother and son were stunned on the spot. Pei Qian was alright, just pure and clear.

Li Xiangjun and Pei Qiuwei looked at each other, and they could see the astonishment and shock in each other's eyes.

Although they already knew that there might be some secrets between Ji Ping'an and the old Patriarch, but that's all.

After all, they didn't know the truth. What they saw was that Ji Pingan entered the other courtyard. After he came out, the old Patriarch told him to keep it secret and not to investigate this person.

The most daring idea is just: Father is grateful for his healing methods and appreciates this person.

But now it seems that it is more than that?

Especially when the three of them just witnessed Pei Wuju's supernatural power, just showing his face, they scared the shit out of the Pei clan.

That such a powerful old Patriarch is so respectful to this young man?
Even, claiming to be "Martial Arts"... How can such a low profile not be shocking?

How did they know that Pei Wuju was still counting on the person in front of him to guide him to break through the barrier and step into the realm of watching the sky.

Ji Pingan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The old Patriarch is very polite."

Pei Wuju said earnestly: "Sir, you don't know why you came to the house?"

Ji Pingan said with a smile: "Originally, I was invited by the family as a thank you, but I am quite curious about the matter between Patriarch Pei and the eldest son."

Pei Wuju understood in seconds, and said to Li Xiangjun: "Take Mr. Wei'er to see Wei'er, and tell him, Mr. asked, don't hide anything."

Ah, this... The mother and son were a little dazed, and they looked at Ji Pingan with more curiosity, feeling that this person was unfathomable.

Pei Qiuwei took a deep breath and smiled: "Please follow me."

……

……

When Ji Pingan saw Pei Wei, the latter was lying in the bedroom. The originally burly man had lost a lot of weight, his lips were pale, and his breathing was weak, as if he had suffered from a serious illness.

Fortunately, the ceremony of "cursing to kill scattered people" was not completely successful, so Pei Wei was only seriously injured, and Qi Hai was severely injured, but he did not die.

But it seems that it will take a long time to fully recover, even in this period of spiritual recovery.

No wonder, Li Xiangjun stopped him to see people.

"Mr. Li, right? I've also heard about your treatment of my father. If you have any questions, Pei knows everything." Pei Wei sat on the bed, and after listening to Pei Qiuwei's report, he said calmly.

As expected of the head of the family, although he didn't know the details, he didn't hesitate at all about Pei Wuju's arrangement.

Ji Pingan asked: "Tell me why you have fallen into this situation."

Pei Wei smiled wryly and said, "The thing is like this..."

Then, he roughly talked about his experience in the past month, which was roughly consistent with Ji Ping'an's conjecture, but it was much more detailed.

The cause has something to do with him... Ji Pingan killed the owner of Juxian Villa in Shendu, and secretly helped to make Juxian Village wanted, and a group of desperadoes scattered in all directions.

The eldest son left Yuhang because of this.

In the end, although he returned victorious and captured many warriors from Juxian Village, he was accidentally injured, and he was hit with a strange poison.

After waking up, he quickly discovered the anomaly of killing loose people with a curse, so he used a secret method to forcibly gather the gang of warriors from Juxian Village under his command, and left the village.

And learned that the subordinates have notified Yuhang Pei in advance...

Curse Sha Sanren simply followed the plan, pretended to meet his father halfway, and wanted to sneak into the Pei family, but Pei Wei noticed the clues, and Curse Sha Sanren also poisoned Pei Wei when Pei Wei was not suspicious, and took the opportunity to sneak attack... …

The unsuspecting Pei Wei hated being imprisoned, and was taken all the way to Banyue Villa, where he was locked in a dungeon.

And during the conversation of Yu Cursing Sanren, he also gradually learned the truth of the incident, and realized that someone had "taken away" the body of the eldest son.

"Until now, I still can't believe that there is such a perfect way to win a house." Pei Wei said with lingering fear:
"If he didn't want to save my life and use the formation method to extract Pei's cultivation, he might have died outside."

In the practice system of Kyushu, there is indeed a technique about "grabbing the house", but it is extremely restricted and the conditions are harsh, far from being as outrageous as in folklore.

Beyond cognition, coupled with the lack of vigilance of the people close to him... Ji Pingan expressed sympathy for Pei Wei's experience:

"Do you know about the robbing of the magician's body? Or, did the other party mention in his speech that he has a connection with the Four Sages? Or about the news about the robbing?"

Pei Wei shook his head and said:
"I was locked in the dungeon and isolated from the outside world. After his identity was exposed, although he no longer hides, but he revealed very little information. I only know that he may be a monk hundreds of years ago. This is from the words Inferred. Moreover, I suspect that there is more than one person like him who has taken away the house."

Ji Pingan was curious: "Oh? Why do you say that?"

Pei Wei said in a deep voice: "Because he once said that he must become stronger as soon as possible, faster than others, and he doesn't want to be someone else's vassal... This is what he said when he slipped the tongue."

Be faster than others, or be a vassal? ... Ji Ping'an's heart sank, and he silently wrote down this message.

But not sure, this is something every Reborn knows, or someone told him.

Speaking of which, Zhu Xun, a reborn person, has become a vassal of the "Four Saints"?But he thought he was an old subordinate, so he was willing.

How did this group of people get connected... Ji Pingan solved one doubt, but added more doubts.

He was suddenly a little irritable, eager to figure out what information the reborn had.

"But it was Zhu Xun first, and then Curse Kill. Although I found them, I couldn't interrogate them..."

"Of course it's due to a missed kill, but on the other hand, even if I managed to catch the cursed kill this time, would he cooperate honestly? Impossible, even if he said it, would I believe it?"

Ji Ping'an has lived for 1000 years, and he knows the characters of these "old friends" very well. There is not a single idiot, they are all treacherous to death.

However, astrology does not work on the "Reborn", which means that he also lacks an effective means of "lie detection".

"Perhaps, my thinking is completely wrong. I have been starting from the cases in the city, trying to find the reborn people to get information. But those who commit crimes in the city and become stronger by killing innocent people indiscriminately are almost all of me. The enemy... no matter how many they catch, they won't be able to get the information I need."

"Perhaps, the correct way is to look for my friends, or at least people who are righteous, so that I can ask the answer. But there is also a problem, that is, if I don't reveal my identity, these people who are righteous will not say it... ...and rashly revealing your identity is inappropriate..."

"Either, I will kill him after inquiring, or I will find those true friends whom I trust enough that I am sure that the other party will keep the secret for me and will not betray me."

Ji Pingan thought about it.

The former directly vetoed it. Whether it was Li Yang, the national teacher, or Ji Pingan, he had never let anyone down except his feelings, and he did things against his heart.

How is it different from the way of the devil to cheat trust and then kill?He disdained it.

Then there are only options left.

"Is someone worthy of my trust..." At this moment, faces appeared in his mind, such as God Emperor, such as Zhang Sengyao... But, where to find them?

and many more.

Suddenly, a name popped up in his mind, a name he believed in enough, and it must be in Yuhang City.

"Mr. Li?"

At this time, Pei Wei who was lying on the bed suddenly spoke, interrupting his distraction.

Ji Pingan withdrew his thoughts and apologized:

"Thinking about something. Well, I won't disturb your rest."

Pei Wei said so many words in one breath, and looked quite tired, so he nodded:
"If you want to ask, you can come again."

Ji Pingan got up to say goodbye, turned around and walked out the door.

At this moment, he suddenly realized that with the outbreak of the Pei family incident, the information about the "reborn" was finally not limited to the five major sects and the imperial court, but began to be known to lower forces.

In the past, the search for "reborn people" by various forces was deliberately concealed, trying to avoid being noticed.

But as the news spreads, the next search and scramble may gradually shift from "ground" to "ground", no more cover-ups.

……

……

Walking out of the room, Pei Qiuwei who was waiting outside the door lit up his eyes, pursed his lips, leaned forward and said:
"Mister has come out. What else can I order?"

Unconsciously, she treated Ji Ping'an with a lot of respect.

Ji Pingan smiled: "You don't have to be so cautious, I still like the way you looked on the day you first met me."

Pei Qiuwei also smiled, and exhaled lightly, her whole body relaxed a lot, and she also prefers the mode of getting along with each other on an equal footing.

Ji Pingan thought for a while, then suddenly said: "However, I do have a small matter that I would like to ask Mrs. Pei for help."

Pei Qiuwei showed a curious look: "What's the matter?"

Ji Pingan pretended to reach into his arms, groped, pulled out a folded piece of paper, and unfolded it:

"I would like to ask Mrs. Pei to help me find out the origin of the painting on this lamp."

This is impressively, the lantern paper that he tore off from the river lantern, on which "Doraemon" was drawn.

Wanting to find Xu Yuanyun, but unable to astrological astrology, the best way Ji Pingan can think of is to mobilize big clans like the Pei family.

Of course, this behavior also has disadvantages, such as exposing himself and Xu Yuanyun.

But for one thing, he still has the official status of "Qin Tian Jian Si Chen", so he is not afraid of being exposed.

Even if it attracts some people's attention, the reason is strong enough to tear off the vest to reveal his identity, and the Qin Tianjian investigates abnormal events in the city.

Private investigation, there will be suspicion.

But if the officials investigate, it will be logical.

As for the involvement of Xu Yuanyun, no matter which method he uses or who he asks for investigation, it will attract more or less attention, and he must act urgently.

And... just looking for a lantern, at worst, make up another story, it is impossible for outsiders to understand the meaning of this painting, and of course they will not connect it with the reborn.

"painting?"

Pei Qiuwei was stunned for a moment, looked at the extremely weird thing made of lines on the paper, and said to himself:

Is this also a painting?
But the well-educated young lady would not complain face to face, and immediately said:

"no problem."

After finishing speaking, she beckoned to her personal maid, He Er, and was about to tell her to take the portrait to check, but as soon as He Er walked over, she let out a light snort:
"Isn't this the painting of Miss Mochou? Why is it here?"

As soon as these words came out, Pei Qiuwei was obviously stunned:

"Miss Mochou?"

He'er said "Yes" and said:

"Yeah, it was the night market the day before yesterday. Didn't Ms. Mo go to the Qinhuai River to play, so she drew this on the river lantern. When she came back, her maid said it when she was chatting, and she drew it for us, saying this It's a cat, but why does the cat look so weird..."

He'er complained, and suddenly noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, and when she turned her head, she saw Ji Pingan staring at her.

"Miss Mo, where are you?!"

……

Wanzi, make up for yesterday's weakness
