"So, both Lin Dongdong and Qu Bu have turned their backs on the gods."
Pei Ming suddenly spoke out.
"No, they just betrayed the beliefs in their hearts." Li Kui retorted.
"What..."
Pei Ming paused mid-sentence. The two statements seemed to have little difference, but in fact they were the differences between the inner world and the outer world and should not be confused.
'The person behind the scenes doesn't just kill anyone at random. It has a specific target and has a fairly complete intelligence network. If it weren't for the privilege of Jinyiwei, it would not be able to detect this kind of thing. The Gelug sect would not take this embarrassing thing
Spread the word.'
Li Kui lowered his eyes slightly, thinking.
This case was really strange. Sometimes he suspected that it was Zhu Gaosui and Zhu Gaoxi who were responsible, but he did not get any relevant information from them. In addition, after the official banquet, he felt that the possibility of Lu Shidao was not small.
Zhu Di must know something, but it is too difficult to get word from him!
"Sir, there is one more thing."
Yuan Bin glanced at Pei Ming and said, "Qu Bu's body is in Dongchang."
"Um?"
Li Kui looked at Pei Ming.
The latter had a smile on his face and nodded slightly to indicate to him.
"Deputy Li Qianhu, the body is safe in the East Factory, there won't be any problems." Pei Ming assured.
"I just hope Pei Qianhu won't cause trouble."
Seeing this, Li Kui just said in a neutral tone.
Pei Ming's smile couldn't help but freeze.
at this time.
"Li Fuqianhu."
A slightly flattering voice sounded outside the house.
Li Kui raised his eyes and saw that he was a eunuch from a famous palace. If he remembered correctly, he should be one of Zhu Zhanji's subordinates. He waved him in.
"But His Highness has an order?"
"His Royal Highness invited Deputy Li Qianhu to go hunting in the countryside." the eunuch replied.
"Hunting?" Li Kui raised his eyebrows slightly, "Why did Hao Duanrui suddenly go hunting?"
"Today, the sage went to the Taimiao Temple to worship the gods of the five temples, the crown prince went to the Jiao Altar to worship the gods of heaven and earth, the emperor's grandson went to the Sheji altar to worship the gods of An, and the Duke of Guizhou Mu Sheng went to the Shanchuan altar to worship the gods of mountains and rivers."
The eunuch said: "The Sheji Altar is close to the countryside. Your Highness..."
Without saying anything else, Li Kui naturally understood that Zhu Zhanji was just having fun and wanted to take him with him.
"Okay, I'll be there right away."
Li Kui thought for a moment and immediately responded.
"Deputy Li Qianhu, horses have been prepared for you at the door," the eunuch said.
"good."
Li Kui suddenly had a yellow-backed talisman in his hand, handed it to Yuan Bin, and said, "If there are any new discoveries in the case, burn this talisman."
"Please don't worry, sir."
Yuan Bin took the talisman and pledged it.
then.
Li Kui and the eunuch walked straight out of the office and drifted away.
"Hey, Deputy Li Qianhu..."
Pei Ming looked at Li Kui's back, stretched out his hand, and finally put it down helplessly.
Thousands of words turned into emotion:
Is this the famous man in front of the emperor's grandson?
immediately,
Pei Ming simply stayed in Li Kui's office to practice.
…
…
East Factory, Mortuary.
"call."
The wind chime hung in the center of the beam rattled, and the evil-suppressing talisman was outlined with cinnabar on the bamboo pieces connected by the rope. In addition to serving as a warning, it also ensured that the corpse would not mutate.
There were dozens of corpses lying below, and Qu Bu's corpse was prominently among them.
However, at this moment, a change quietly occurred.
Under the gray-white linen, the swollen belly suddenly changed strangely, revealing a ferocious blue-black vein. Then, more and more 'green veins' spread to the whole body, swimming and undulating.
In his body, the mold turned into black threads, like sewing clothes, connecting his internal organs and limbs.
"tread."
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came.
An employee from the east factory opened the door and walked into the mortuary. He looked up at the quiet wind chime and wondered: "It's strange. I heard the warning from the wind chime just now. Could it be that I am hallucinating?"
If there is a situation like corpse transformation, the wind chimes will keep ringing.
Thinking about it, the man planned to go out.
But as soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he looked back at the corpses, muttered something, and turned back to check them one by one.
A series of pale and pale faces came into view.
Whoosh!
"I wonder, did this guy die in a stinky ditch?" The man covered his nose with a look of disgust on his face, "Why is it so smelly!"
Qubu's body was still covered in sticky mud and had an unpleasant stench.
He quickly put the linen down and prepared to turn around and leave.
Just when the man turned around.
Bang!
The wooden table behind him suddenly shook.
"..."
My back felt as if a cold poisonous snake had crawled up, and the hairs stood on end.
The man turned his neck stiffly, his pupils suddenly dilated, and the body on the table just now disappeared!
"where?"
When he turned his head.
A pair of cloudy eyes came in, and the dirty face almost touched the bridge of his nose.
The man was horrified!
The vigorous deer suddenly raised its head and looked around cautiously. Only when no danger was found, it lowered its head and chewed the fresh grass on the ground.
A room of electric light and flint.
The sharp arrow cut through the airflow and instantly penetrated the deer's neck, causing its body to stumble back several steps and fall.
A few moments.
A dozen knights on horses jumped out of the bushes.
"Hahaha, how is Li Kui?"
Zhu Zhanji looked down at the dead deer and couldn't help laughing: "It's no worse than the few arrows you shot at Shilka River!"
"awesome."
Li Kui held the reins and responded perfunctorily.
He had a cigarette in his mouth, and two smoke dragons poured out from his nostrils.
"Can you please have some snacks?"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Li Kui helplessly.
The longer they spent together, Li Kui became more and more relaxed and carefree in front of him.
"I'm distracted."
Li Kui couldn't help but laugh and said, "Look how careless and serious I just said."
Zhu Zhanji gave Li Kui a middle finger gesture.
"Ha ha ha ha."
Seeing this, Li Kui couldn't help laughing, "Your Highness learns so quickly."
"You guys go aside."
Zhu Zhanji waved his hand, and the guards around him rode away a short distance away.
"How's the case investigation going these days?"
"It's not bad, I have some eyebrows."
Li Kui briefly told Zhu Zhanji the clues he had learned over the past few days, including his suspicions about Lu Shidao.
Half a moment.
"Do you doubt Master Lu?"
Zhu Zhanji looked complicated.
"Huh?" Li Kui knew there was something fishy when he saw Zhu Zhanji's demeanor, "Does Your Highness know something?"
silence.
"It's hard to explain in one sentence, so let's start from the beginning."
Zhu Zhanji looked into the distance and sighed, "Three years ago, something was wrong with Master Lu."
"Something's wrong?"
Li Kui flicked away the cigarette ashes and asked with great interest: "What's wrong?"
"Three years ago, in order to find something, Master Lu used the power of the Wudang Taoist sect and the imperial court to search all over the country for five months. It caused a lot of uproar at the time."
"Something? What something?"
"have no idea."
"I only know that since then, Master Lu has been in seclusion for one month, two months, half a year, one year, and the time is getting longer and longer."
Zhu Zhanji spoke eloquently.
"Your Highness, you still haven't said what's wrong with Master Lu."
Li Kui said helplessly.
"Eye."
Zhu Zhanji turned to look at Li Kui, took off the unicorn jade pendant from his waist, and said in an indescribably complicated tone: "I forgot which day it was three years ago, but the look in my eyes at that time is still fresh in my memory.
"Like a lunatic on the verge of death."
Li Kui lowered his eyes slightly, took a deep breath of cigarette, and seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
The Yin Division issues a mission to arrest Lu Shidao. In fact, it clearly tells you that this guy is going to commit a crime. What matters is not important, but how to arrest him is important.
"Master Lu and my grandfather have known each other for nearly forty years. They were also my father's teachers. This magic weapon was given to me by Master Lu."
Zhu Zhanji caressed the jade pendant with his fingertips, his eyes revealing memories.
