Elaborate on the world of mortals

Chapter 48 The Unexpected Incident
Compared to the anxiety of the Sky Whale Gang, Teng Jingcai was in a better mood at the moment, and when he got back to the backyard, he called his concubine's room to have fun, and his appetite and lust also grew.

In the middle of the night, Teng Jingcai suddenly felt chest tightness, and gradually began to have nightmares, and then woke up from the dream, he found that the concubine's hand was pressing on his chest.

"ho"

Teng Jingcai gently moved the concubine's arm away, turned on his side and continued to sleep.

Just falling asleep, Teng Jing suddenly remembered something. He remembered that the warlock surnamed Zhou seemed to have said before that his spells were also limited. Not many, and it is even more impossible to work when meeting Wu Zhi Xiantian.

Wu Zhixian, congenital master?
The words of Mr. Whale Gang came to mind the other day
Teng Jingcai straightened up all of a sudden, that man was lying!It is impossible for Zhou's spell to beat back martial artists to innate martial artists!
Thinking back to the appearance of the man surnamed Yu who was seriously injured and unable to stand on his own, the more Teng Jingcai thought about it, the more afraid he was, wouldn't it be impossible at all?Could it be that Zhou was also arrested?

Teng Jingcai couldn't sleep now, and waited anxiously until dawn, and couldn't wait to put on his clothes and prepare to go to the head of the Sky Whale Gang, but he couldn't meet the leader of the Sky Whale Gang, so he was invited in for some tea , Waited until a hall master came to chat for a few words, saying that the gang master had gone out.

Teng Jingcai refused to let go, and waited until the afternoon before leaving, and told the members of the Sky Whale Gang to find the leader when he came back.

But the next day, Teng Jingcai waited at home for a whole day without waiting for anyone to come. Having trouble sleeping and eating again, he went to the head of the Sky Whale Gang again early in the morning of the third day. This time, he only saw some young people and no one else He said, still polite and dare not neglect.

Back at home in his study, Teng Jingcai felt depressed.

It was also at this moment that the servant came carefully with a letter.

"Master, there is a letter from Yuezhou..."

"What, give it to me!"

Teng Jingcai snatched the letter and couldn't wait to tear it open. After browsing left and right, his expression became worse and worse.

With a "bang", Teng Jingcai slapped the desk again, but the pain in his right hand immediately made him grin his teeth.

"Well, you Yuanjiang county magistrate, you are so poisonous..."

Teng Jingcai shuddered just thinking about it.

"No, you can't sit still!"

The next moment, Teng Jingcai quietly began to search around the house for some hidden valuables.
-
While the Sky Whale Gang and Teng Jingcai were tossing about in Wuzhou, another urgent memorial from Yuanjiang County had already arrived at Chengtian Mansion.

This time the memorial focused on detailing the harm caused by witchcraft and sorcery, which was different from the last time, and it immediately attracted the attention of the Ministry of Punishment.

However, someone once again quietly sent the news. When Sheng Shuying, the official minister, found out about this in the middle of the night, she slumped on the couch at home.

"It's over. What else did this bastard do? It's trying to kill me!"

I didn't expect that Teng Jingcai would dare to do harm to people by witchcraft. This is a big taboo in today's world, ten heads are not enough to lose!

"Hiss, you can't just sit and wait!"

Sheng Shuying shook violently, crumpled the note in her hand, and immediately rummaged through the study, and found the secret letter sent by Teng Jingcai before, her whole body was trembling slightly, and she took several deep breaths before she managed to calm herself down. Start to study ink and start writing.

The next day was the Great Court Meeting. Sheng Shuying, who hadn't slept all night, put on the court clothes and entered the palace early. Waiting in the court room, he always felt that some officials were staring at him, and it seemed that it was just his own illusion.

When it was finally time for the court meeting, a group of civil and military officials lined up to enter the Zichen Hall. Before the emperor came, Sheng Shuying was already very nervous.

"Master Shan, are you hot?"

A colleague nearby made a sound in confusion, Sheng Shuying reached out and touched her forehead, covered with fine sweat, she could only say in embarrassment.

"Yes, it's a little hot."

"The Emperor is here—"

Sheng Shuying lifted her spirits and looked upwards, and all the officials shouted together: "Welcome to Your Majesty—"

Under the guidance of the great eunuch, a tall middle-aged man in a dragon robe and a black gauze wing crown sat on the dragon chair and said something calmly.

"All Aiqings are exempt from gifts!"

After the eunuch stood still, it was customary to say aloud.

"There is a book to play—"

When Sheng Shuying looked at the officials, officials of the Ministry of Punishment, Yin Chengtian and several other officials, everyone seemed to be coming out, so he hurried out with the memorial immediately.

"Your Majesty, my minister Sheng Shuying has written a report. I want to sue my old department for corruption and perverting the law to seek wealth and murder. He is even more shameless to try to get my humble minister to protect me with a secret letter. It is an unforgivable crime. I also have to confess that I don't know anyone. I didn’t find out that my former subordinates committed such crimes, please punish me——”

The person on the dragon chair frowned slightly, and looked intently at the minister below. Although there was a little distance, Sheng Shuying could be seen to be very nervous.

Normally, this kind of matter is directly submitted to the Ministry of Criminal Justice. Even if it really needs to be sent to the imperial court, you can go to the imperial study room in the afternoon, but Sheng Shuying is in a hurry to choose to play directly at the court meeting?

The emperor's expression became somewhat intriguing.

"Bring it up."

As soon as the emperor spoke, the eunuch took the memorial and delivered it to the imperial court. After the emperor browsed it, he looked in the direction of the Ministry of Punishment.

"Si Jingxiu, is there a memorial from Yuezhou, does it show that Teng Jingcai's case is involved?"

Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment stepped out from the group of officials.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Punishment has indeed received relevant memorials, but it has received two, because it involves court officials. The first one is already under review and is going to discuss with the Supervision Department. Yesterday, I received another one."

As he spoke, Minister of the Ministry of Justice glanced at Sheng Shuying, and then took out a memorial from his bosom.

"The minister has roughly clarified the content, please have a look at the emperor."

"Bring it up."

The emperor still said indifferently, but after the eunuch delivered the memorial and unfolded it, he began to sit upright and his face gradually changed. Then he glanced at Sheng Shuying and snorted coldly in his heart.

"Sheng Aiqing deserves to be the pillar of the country, but she just believed in the wrong villain. Perhaps Teng Jing was still at peace when you were in Wuzhou."

After saying this, the emperor looked at Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment and said lightly.

"A small Wuzhou Tongju, together with merchants, killed so many folk women, just for the benefit of the brothel? Afterwards, he did not hesitate to invite demons to harm people with witches, so the Yuanjiang county magistrate may still have something to do. Dare to play it"

With that said, the emperor looked at the officials.

"Dare to use witchcraft to harm people, and even those people from the Jianghu dare to get involved in this matter. The Ministry of Criminal Justice, Dali Temple, Yushitai, let me investigate this case carefully, and Sheng Aiqing will stay in office first. If it is not relevant, naturally I will not wrong you."

"I will obey your orders!"

Several officials immediately responded, and Sheng Shuying on one side was breaking out in cold sweat.

The emperor looked down expressionlessly, but apart from the fact that the matter of witchcraft disturbed him, he also glanced at the memorial to the side again, Midnight trial ghost? ——
Turmoil gradually arose in the imperial court, but for the Yuanjiang county government, life has calmed down, and there has been no further disturbances for a month since the night attack.

And Yi Shuyuan didn't run around during this time, in addition to completing the content of the county annals, he also savored the income during this time.

In the past month, Yi Shuyuan has lived a two-point and one-line life between the dining hall and the library. He has never even been to the dormitory.

For Yi Shuyuan today, every gain in practice is worth gratifying, not to mention that self-realization will give him a sense of accomplishment, but it is a pity that there is still a long way to go from emptiness to reality. distance.

Sitting in front of the book table, Yi Shuyuan, who had already retained the previous harvest, was relaxed, flipping through the book gifted by Huang Hongchuan again, and playing with the ebony with his other hand, nourishing it with his own aura.

Although Yi Shuyuan doesn't know how to refine weapons, he feels that nourishing with his own aura is definitely not wrong.

And Yi Shuyuan has been able to memorize the whole book in front of him fluently, but he will subconsciously turn it over.

At this moment, while Yi Shuyuan was reading a book, he recalled all the previous cultivation gains, and his heart couldn't help but be filled with thoughts.

If I can really manifest this way, then in the future, a single thought of falsehood and truth can be transformed into myriads of minds, and the illusion that arises from the mind can turn into reality, which should be called the change of earth evil!

Yi Shuyuan, who has already experienced half a time, couldn't help but smile again. In this way, he has too much to learn and adapt to. If he hadn't really practiced martial arts seriously, and his internal strength had reached the innate level, So whether this half time will be successful is still unknown.

However, Yi Shuyuan is not in a hurry, on the contrary, he feels a little bit of self-satisfaction. Why not do it when he travels in the world of mortals and sees thousands of people and sees thousands of things and can do his own thing.

"Hey, this is fun! If I, Yi Shuyuan, can do it half a time, I can do it once, and if I can do it once, I can do it ten thousand times. Tsk, it seems a bit too ambitious."

Talking to himself, Yi Shuyuan suddenly looked towards the door.

After a while, a child came nearby. He walked around the yard over there, then stood on tiptoe and carefully looked inside the library, only to find that the people inside were also looking outside.

The child suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment and walked away.

But Yi Shuyuan put down the ebony and books and stood up and walked towards the door. He stood in front of the library door and looked at the child who left silently, the one he rescued that day.

"Is there no one with you?"

Yi Shuyuan's voice was calm, and he tried not to scare the other party. The child was about to leave, but he stopped when he heard Yi Shuyuan's words, and stood in the corridor about ten steps away, answering somewhat awkwardly.

"Just walk around where you can go alone"

The voice has a distinctly non-native accent.

"Have you visited your father?"

The child's expression became a little flustered and frightened. After hesitating for a while, he nodded and replied timidly.

"The adults took me there, saying that that person is my father. My lord, can I go?"

"It's alright, you go."

Hearing what Yi Shuyuan said, the child trotted away as if he was about to receive an amnesty. He could not leave the county office, nor could he go to some important places, and there were not so many people to take care of him all the time, so he could only go where he could go alone. Turn around, you can go to the dining hall to eat when it's time, and sleep in the bunk.

Yi Shuyuan was thinking about this, but when the child reached the end of the corridor, he was lying on the back of the pillar and looking at this side, he seemed to hesitate for a long time before finally speaking again.

"My lord, when will my mother come?"

Yi Shuyuan was slightly taken aback, looked at the child and said.

"Why do you ask me? Other police officers should know more about this."

The child opened his mouth and said hesitantly.

"A son told me that maybe the gentleman here will know."

Yi Shuyuan frowned slightly, and then waved to the child with a soothing expression. The latter hesitated behind the pillar for a while, and finally walked over to Yi Shuyuan.

"Which young man said that?"

"It's the son who is willing to talk to me besides you, my lord."

Yi Shuyuan smiled.

"I'm not an adult, the young master you mentioned is not from the Yamen?"

This child is not allowed to leave the county government office, and he usually does not see the real officials of the county government office, because he is not allowed to go to those places, and even if he is only an illegitimate child, other servants and the like will probably not want to see him, so he The young master mentioned may be Chu Hang who is relatively less prone to substituting subjective emotions.

"I don't know. My lord, when will my mother come?"

The child asked again, his eyes full of flustered expectation, Yi Shuyuan reached out and touched the child's head, the latter obviously wanted to dodge, but he still didn't dodge after moving his body.

The skin on the child's face and hands was rough, and he didn't look like he was used to living a wealthy life since he was a child.

Watching and watching, consciously or unconsciously, Yi Shuyuan seemed to see a faint aura changing above the child's head, and he seemed to be able to feel a kind of anxious emotion that echoed from afar.

This is, mother and child are connected.

"They, they said that when I was taken captive, something might happen to my mother."

The child's voice seemed to be a little choked, which also interrupted Yi Shuyuan's feelings, and he frowned slightly.

"Who told you that?"

"No, no one said it. I went to bed at night and heard a few servants in the bunk whispering about it on the other side of the bed."

Yi Shuyuan nodded and said.

"Don't worry, your mother is fine, she is very worried about you, she will come after a while, go and play."

Yi Shuyuan's voice carried a sense of tranquility, as if it could convince children naturally.

"Thank you sir, thank you sir!"

Surprised on his face, the child bowed to Yi Shuyuan a few times, then trotted away.
