Chapter 158 The Soul Returns to Hometown (6)

At first, when Wen Jisheng brought Ban Xiyu and Jiang Du to this inn, the boss thought he had killed someone and brought the body with him, so scared that he almost wanted to report to the police.

Fortunately, Wen Jisheng explained to others, saying that he ran into the robbers in Xiaoyunzhai, and that's why he was in such a situation, and he barely stabilized him.

He first asked Xiaoer to invite a doctor to see Ban Xiyu, then arranged for Jiangdu's funeral, and then went to inquire about the latest developments in the Xiaoyunzhai battle.

When he finished his work and returned to the inn, Ban Xiyu just woke up.

After hearing Wen Jisheng's words, Ban Xiyu remained silent for a long time.She finished her dinner in silence, and then said: "It's summer, it's not good to leave the corpse for a long time."

Ban Xiyu looked at the sky outside the window, saw that it was pitch black, and said, "Why don't we send him to the burial after dawn tomorrow."

Hearing silence, he has no opinion.He originally wanted to say something to brighten the atmosphere, but he looked at Ban Xiyu's face and saw that her complexion was not very good, and her mood was somewhat depressed, so he knew that she hadn't recovered from Jiang Du's death.

He has been wandering around the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he has seen a lot of life and death.Furthermore, he has also injured people with his hands, and I don't know how many Xiaoxiao people died in his hands.

Therefore, it is difficult for him to feel sad in the face of death.

But Jiang Du is really a good person, even though he didn't have a deep friendship with him, judging from his actions, it can be seen that he is a friend worth making.So regarding his death, Wen Jisheng also felt somewhat regretful.

Although Wen Jisheng's feeling was only pity, but Ban Xiyu obviously wasn't.

He thought that Jiang Du was the second friend she met, and it was reasonable for her to be sad.Besides... Based on her past life experience, she must have never seen anyone alive and dead in front of her.

So she still needs some time to digest.

Wen Jisheng was not very good at comforting people, and worried that what he said would become redundant, so he said, "You still need to rest well, so I won't bother you. I'll come see you again tomorrow morning."

He said that he was about to get up, but when he was leaving, he suddenly remembered something, then turned around, took out a small stack of books from his arms, handed them to Ban Xiyu, and said:
"When I went out to do errands, I happened to pass by a bookstore. I saw that they had newly printed books, and thought you might want to take a look, so I brought you a few books."

Ban Xiyu took it from his hand, looked down, and saw the words "Wandering Tales" written on it, and after a little glance, he recognized that it was written about anecdotes about the world.

She smiled slightly and thanked: "I'm really interested in taking a look, thank you for taking the trouble to bring it to me."

Seeing the smile in Ban Xiyu's eyes, Wen Jisheng felt a little relieved.He said, "As long as you like it." Then he turned around and left the room, closing the door behind Ban Xiyu.

The surroundings became quiet again, and Ban Xiyu sat back on the chair, staring at the candlelight for a while.

Although Ban Xiyu was mentally prepared for the dangers of Jianghu, witnessing Jiang Du's death with her own eyes still had a big impact on her heart.

She was finally able to understand in detail the days that Lou Xiyue faced in the past—killing and fleeing, she was always vigilant and trembling.

It turned out that she had lived such a dangerous life all these years.

Ban Xiyu felt a little blocked in her heart, thinking, if the child who was kidnapped back then was her, what would happen?
There was no answer to this question, and in a daze, Ban Xiyu's eyes fell on the book that Wen Jisheng brought.

She has been in a coma for too long, and she is still not sleepy at the moment, so she simply reads a book to pass the time.

So Ban Xiyu washed up briefly, then leaned against the edge of the bed, and opened those "Wandering Tales"...

*
In the early morning of the second day, Ban Xiyu and Wen Jisheng took Jiangdu's coffin out of the city.

It was a fine day, and they found a beautiful place for Jiang Du to be buried, and when the soil was completely sealed, most of the morning had already passed.

After that, Ban Xiyu placed a fruit plate and a few sticks of incense in front of Jiangdu's grave.At the same time, Wen Jisheng explained clearly the process of the villain subduing the Dharma:
"Now that the matter of Xiaoyun Village has come to an end, the county magistrate of Qianyuan Town specially invited the prefect of Pingzhou, and sent troops to encircle and suppress Kejia Village. So far, Song Ranze, Shen Zhihang and others have been arrested and brought to justice. You can rest easy."

If you want Jiangdu to rest in Huangquan, you have to do another thing.

Ban Xiyu looked at Wen Jisheng and asked, "Did you read the letter Jiang Du entrusted earlier? Do you have any thoughts?"

"I've read it." Wen Jisheng nodded, then handed the letter to Ban Xiyu, and said, "But this matter is quite troublesome to deal with. Moreover, this matter involves a lot, so I'm afraid it will not be easy to solve .”

Ying Zhao didn't write too much detail in the letter, he only said that he investigated an unusual silk smuggling case at the border, and the merchants involved were from Rongguo.

During the investigation of the return of the documents, the Rongguo merchant also killed many Daxuan people for some reason, and the reason is not yet clear.

In addition, Ying Zhao also discovered that some of the border officials were covering up the facts of the crime for the merchant and helping him escape.It involves the crime of bribing officials, so it should be thoroughly investigated according to the request.

Unexpectedly, this move led to a fatal disaster, and Ying Zhao died in a foreign land as a guest.

Ban Xiyu read the letter word by word: "The letter said that Ying Zhao also sealed the key evidence in an ancient painting, and this painting, which he consigned, is temporarily stored in Anyuan Prefecture, Shifang Mansion in a company called 'Cao's Pawn Shop'."

"Anyuan Prefecture is still some distance away from Pingzhou. To reach Shifang Mansion, it will take five or six days to get there." Wen Jisheng thought for a while, and confirmed with Ban Xiyu again:
"Do you really want to do this for Jiang Du? Do you want to help him find out the murderer who killed Ying Zhaohui, and find out the truth about the 'silk smuggling case'? I hope you think clearly, this is no child's play."

Chaotang is no better than rivers and lakes.

The muddy water in the general election hall does not need to be clean in the green forest.

The civil and military affairs of the dynasty, those who dance with words and ink, those who wield knives and guns, those cunning and tricks are far more difficult to guard against than open guns and hidden arrows in the rivers and lakes.

Wen Jisheng was worried that Ban Xiyu would not be able to handle it.

Furthermore, he can still take care of things in the Jianghu, but he is beyond the reach of the court affairs.

Ban Xiyu could understand Wen Jisheng's concerns, but she still insisted: "Yes, I will do this." Jiang Du died to protect her, so she naturally has the responsibility to complete this matter for him.

"I know that the case of repaying Yingzhao is not a trivial matter. You have doubts, and I know that too. If you are worried that you will be implicated, I have no objection if you want to withdraw halfway." Ban Xiyu said, and then looked at Wen Jisheng sincerely. .

Her eyes were open-minded and calm: "Originally, you came all the way here to accompany me. Logically, I have no position to force you to continue to help me. You have always tried your best to help me, and I Thank you very much."

Wen Jisheng: "..."

He suddenly smiled and said: "From what you said, it seems that I will be given a plaque of 'the most benevolent man in the world' soon."
