It rained heavily.

After a while, the effort has gathered into a stream.

The rain was still falling, and when the big raindrops fell, they splashed and shot everywhere.

The old woman was kneeling there.

She has gray hair and a stooped figure. Although her clothes are not new, they are very neat. It is obvious that she is at least an old woman with an attitude towards life.

However, at this moment, she was kneeling on the ground, letting the rain that washed away the soil flow past her and soaked her whole body.

Her body remained motionless, her hands were raised steadily, and she raised her head high above her head.

Lu Bai had good eyesight. He looked through the mist and the rain curtain and saw that the head was already rotting. However, due to diligent care, there were no maggots, just some rotten meat.

There was no one around to watch, and everyone went to take shelter from the rain.

However, under the eaves, the hurried Lifu, the horse-drawn carriage, and the wealthy households driving by all looked at them from a distance, and then passed by.

Lu Bai stood still and watched from a distance.

He almost guessed that he was risking everything, and he was not afraid that his son would not be able to become an official in the future, so he would risk it and file a petition.

This was undoubtedly a big battle, and soon the Jin Yiwei were attracted.

They went up to her and drove the old woman away after a brief inquiry.

They might have tolerated it for a while and pretended not to see it, but if they had ignored it, they would have been blamed by the superiors and would have had to deal with it.

The old woman remained motionless.

"Hey, if you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude." Seeing that the old woman refused to leave, the two guards in Jinyi didn't even pay attention to them. They held back their breath and started to grab the old woman.

"Wait a minute!" Lu Bai stopped them and walked over slowly.

The two Jinyi guards turned around and saw that Lu Bai was wearing the clothes of a police official. They immediately guessed his identity without looking at his face, "Master Lu——"

Lu Bai nodded, "What's going on?"

When the old woman heard Jin Yiwei calling Mr. Lu, she turned back blankly, and then her eyes filled with tears. She didn't know whether it was tears or rain.

Then, she made a loud bang and said, "Sir, you have to make the decision for the common people!"

Lu Bai turned back to look at Jin Yiwei.

Jin Yiwei said: "Sir, her case is very difficult."

Lu Bai raised his eyebrows, "How difficult is it?"

Could it be that the case was committed by people from the four major aristocratic families? If that was the case, it would indeed be quite difficult, but it was not impossible for Lu Bai to handle it. He had been pursuing the case for many days, and he just didn't get a chance to win the lottery because the culprit was Lian'er.

Now we need a case to fill the gap, preferably a big case, only in this big case can we get good things.

However, Lu Bai still underestimated the difficulty of this case.

"The Jinyiwei below have already reported her case. The county magistrates, prefects, and city lords below have all dismissed her case. Hundreds of households and thousands of households have ignored her. Even the criminal department yamen in the capital has also dismissed her case." Jinyiwei said.

.

Lu Bai asked him to tell the key points.

Jinyi Weitian lowered his lips to look at the old woman in the rain, "Hey, her son is a doctor, and one day he led the medicine boy to collect medicine in the mountains..."

The old woman lives in Jiangnan.

The south of the Yangtze River is full of flowers and has a large population. Not only do they live in cities, but there are also many villages and towns living outside the city. Because of the large scope of human activities, there are much fewer monsters in these places. Most of them are in deep mountains and old forests, so this doctor dares to go up the mountain.

Collect herbs.

At that time, the doctor saw a good medicine tree on an inaccessible cliff, so he asked the medicine boy to hold the rope, and he carefully went down to pick it up.

As soon as the doctor came up, a gust of wind blew from nowhere and almost blew him down.

The doctor hurriedly used the medicine hoe to stabilize his body. When he looked back, he saw a monster running towards him with a black wind.

The doctor hurriedly took the medicine boy and hid aside.

The monster landed on the top of the hill where they were. After standing firm, he turned around and yelled: "Zhi Niang, Jiang Haotian, don't bully others too much. If you make grandpa angry, grandpa will burn your sword studio."

The medicine boy quietly poked his head out from the grass and saw a young man in white coming from the horizon, holding a sword in his hand, the sword spitting out silver light.

"Hmph, you evildoer is causing trouble to one side, and I am doing justice to God by killing you." With that said, the two started fighting again.

The disciple of Jianzhai was indeed called Jiang Haotian, and Duan was worthy of this name. The sword in his hand was horizontal, floating out of thin air, and his fingers touched the sword body. In an instant, many swords emerged from the sword, like locusts.

Attack the monster.

The monster was tired of dealing with it. He was hit by fencing swords one after another and was already at a disadvantage. "What the hell, you just want my inner elixir. I'm rough on your grandma and grandpa."

Jiang Haotian's face was cold and he did not reply, but accelerated his offensive.

In an instant, I saw that the swords that were attacking the monster no longer disappeared after missing, but were thrown back, and merged together behind Jiang Haotian, turning into a huge, budding begonia flower.

The monster must have become timid, and his tone softened, "No fight, no fight, Jiang Haotian, there are two people hiding here, let's fight somewhere else."

Jiang Haotian ignored it and just snorted, but the begonia flower took shape.

The budding crabapple flower bloomed soon after it took shape. Then the medicine boy saw that the sky was full of swords, tearing at the clouds like the wind, chopping the grass, smashing the trees, and covering the top of the mountain overwhelmingly.

The place where the medicine boy and the doctor are hiding is no exception.

The medicine boy's scalp was soon cut open by a sword. The doctor saw something was wrong and pushed the medicine boy behind a nearby boulder. Then the doctor let out a groan, and the medicine boy saw the sword pierce his chest and bring up a bloody flower.

.

The warm blood fell right on the medicine boy's face.

Yaotong was petrified and hid behind the stone shivering. I don’t know how much time passed. The sword wind stopped and Yaotong heard the monster scream...

After an unknown amount of time, the medicine boy crawled out from behind the stone and saw that the doctor's body was already cold, and the monster was not far away. It had been disemboweled, and it seemed that it had taken the inner elixir.

"Since then, this old woman has embarked on the path of filing a complaint, but this case -" Jin Yiwei spread his hands, "How can we investigate this case? Who dares to investigate, who has the courage to investigate?"

The old woman had a strong temper and stubbornness. Seeing that she had no way to appeal, she went home and chopped off her son's head with a kitchen knife, and sued him all the way from the city lord's palace to the capital.

Then it is like this now.

Lu Bai frowned as he listened. This case was indeed difficult, but it was actually not bad for him.

He has already killed a disciple of Jianzhai once, so it doesn't matter if he kills another one.

"Do you know who this Jiang Haotian is?" Lu Bai asked profusely.

The royal guards shook their heads.

They know even less about spiritual practice, and are even less likely to know.

They suggested: "Master Lu, this is the royal way, should we put her -"

The two of them made a gesture of pinching each other away.

"If we don't get him away and blame him from above, our brothers won't be able to live in poverty." The two Jinyi guards begged Lu Bai.

Lu Bai nodded, "It's not good to stay here."

He looked around and saw a tea shed at the corner not far away. "Get her into that tea shed and I'll have a few words with her."

"Okay!"

Seeing that Lu Bai was so easy to talk to, the two Jinyi guards hurriedly agreed and reached out to pinch the old woman again.

The old woman remained silent, but she was stubborn and struggled desperately.

Lu Bai advised: "Madam, your case is very difficult to handle."

The old woman had a resolute look on her face, and the rain fell on her face along her meticulous bun. "I believe there is justice in this world."

Lu Bai knelt down and looked at her, "Heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things like rotten dogs. There is no justice in the world."

Only power is justice.

but--

Lu Bai said to her: "You go to the teahouse and stay, and I will show you a clear path."

"Really?" The old woman suddenly raised her head.

The Jinyi guard next to him complimented: "Madam, this is the envoy of Lu Town. He has a very high level of cultivation. The eight major sects will give Mr. Lu a face. If Mr. Lu says there is a clear way, then there must be one."

The old woman's eyes brightened.

She had never heard of Lu Bai's name, but Lu Bai was the first person she heard who could point out the way for her, and he was also the first person she heard asking the eight major sects to sell face. Isn't this what she wanted?

Looking for someone?

So the old woman put down her head and got up from the ground, held the head in her arms again, and walked towards the teahouse with Lu Bai.

After entering the teahouse, maybe because they thought the head in the old woman's arms was unlucky, or maybe they felt frightened, people immediately showed up at a table. Lu Bai asked the old woman to sit down, and then asked the shopkeeper to bring two bowls of hot tea, and a few plates of refreshments.

.

Lu Bai pushed it to the old woman and let her enjoy it.

The old woman shook her head, returned the tea, and stared at Lu Bai without blinking.
