Chapter 16: Miss Su Qi is a dog?
Lu Heyu was originally going to attend the morning court, but he received a difficult case as soon as he left the house, so he had to submit a memorial and not attend the morning court.
When I arrived at the alley where the crime occurred, I heard some noise nearby and saw someone coming out of a dog hole.
Seeing someone trying to retreat, he reached out and grabbed the back of her collar: "Why are you in such a hurry to go back?"
Su Nuobai looked depressed: "Let go first."
Lu Heyu loosened the back of her collar and asked, "Miss Su Qi, is she born in the year of the dog?"
Su Nuobai crawled out of the dog hole, rolled her eyes at him, brushed off the dirt on her body, and looked at him unhappily: "You can recognize this?"
Lu Heyu pointed at her hand.
Su Nuobai looked down at her hands. Although they were not white and tender, they were indeed different from the hands of a middle-aged man.
She smiled awkwardly: "Mistake, mistake."
Lu Heyu saw the mustache on her face and couldn't help laughing as her expression became a little funny.
This smile made him feel a little uncomfortable and he started coughing "cough cough cough".
Seeing that his face looked extremely ugly, Su Nuobai grabbed his hand and gathered a trace of spiritual power into his body to comb his meridians.
"You're still running around with such a tattered body."
Lu Heyu felt the difference in his body and looked at the wrist she was holding with some surprise, with an ambiguous look in his eyes.
"I'm planning to ask Miss Su Qi to help me with some mending."
Su Nuobai looked at the shameless man and withdrew his hand with some disgust: Hey! You wasted your spiritual power so early in the morning and ate breakfast in vain.
Lu Heyu saw her dressed like this and asked: "Where are you going?"
"Setting up a stall to tell fortunes." After Su Nuobai said this, he noticed someone coming.
A yamen runner came over and said, "Sir Shangshu."
Lu Heyu looked at the yamen runner: "Where are the people?"
"In the alley ahead, the person is not dead and is still breathing. It's just that we can't wake him up no matter what we do, and there are water droplets on his body." The bailiff had never seen such a strange scene.
Su Nuobai raised his foot and walked forward: "Master Lu, let's go find a Taoist priest!"
But before she could take two steps, Lu Heyu grabbed her wrist and dragged her inside: "It's better not to bother two masters with one thing. Why not ask the master for help?"
"Hey hey hey!" Su Nuobai was dragged into the alley by him. She wanted to take action but then thought of his physical condition and had to endure it.
She glared at Feng Zhi, who was leaning against the wall with his arms folded across his chest and dressed as a man again. "Feng Zhi, you're just going to watch me get dragged away!"
Feng Zhi now looks quite ordinary: "I think Minister Lu will be able to afford the reward."
Su Nuobai turned to look at Lu Heyu with sparkling eyes: "Are you rich?"
Lu Heyu looked at her with amusement: "Master, can you accept money now?"
The expression on Su Nuobai's face froze instantly: "Please treat me to a meal!"
"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal when I'm done." Lu Heyu raised the corners of his lips.
Only then did Su Nuobai follow him in a good mood.
A man was lying on the ground with a painful expression on his face.
There was still breath in his chest, and beads of water were appearing on his skin.
There were already puddles of water on the ground around him, and he looked like a drowning man.
Lu Heyu frowned when he saw this situation, and walked up to the yamen runner to ask about the situation.
Jingzhao Yin Wei Lixian was also there. This was the first time he had encountered such a thing and he really didn't know how to deal with it.
"Minister Lu, I asked a doctor to take a look, but he couldn't figure out what was going on."
Lu Heyu looked at the man on the ground and asked, "Have you found out his identity and notified his family?"
"We have found out that it is Zhang Quan, a businessman who came to Shengjing to purchase goods. His family members are not in Shengjing." Wei Lixian told the truth.
He thought for a moment and said, "His belongings are also missing."
Su Nuobai narrowed her eyes. There was a sinister aura on Zhang Quan's body, and his soul had already left his body.
It seemed that he encountered something last night, but she didn't feel any evil aura last night, which means that he walked here unconsciously.
Feng Zhi came over at some point and said, "It's very troublesome."
"The soul was taken away." Su Nuobai said lightly.
Although Lu Heyu was discussing the case with Wei Lixian, his attention was all on her.
He stopped Wei Lixian from continuing and turned to walk towards her: "Can it be solved?"
"Yes, but it's rather troublesome." Su Nuobai looked at Lu Heyu.
"It's solved. You can eat whatever you want." Lu Heyu said with a smile.
Su Nuobai smiled and said, "I hope Lord Lu has enough money in his pocket."
"I think I should be richer than Minister Su." Lu Heyu still had some confidence in this.
Su Nuobai got what she wanted and squatted down to pull a hair from Zhang Quan.
He pinched his fingers together, and a puff of green smoke rose from his hair and floated in one direction.
"I'll be waiting for Lord Lu at the breakfast shop in a while, so don't make me wait too long!" After Su Nuobai said that, he pulled Feng Zhi and disappeared on the spot.
Wei Lixian and the other yamen runners widened their eyes and turned to look at Lu Heyu: "Lu, Minister Lu, this, this?"
"There's no need to make such a fuss about Xuanmen Taoism." Lu Heyu's eyes were full of interest.
He looked down at the wrist that she had pulled before. It had been a long time since he had felt such a relaxed state of mind.
Wei Lixian and the others could only stand aside and wait, feeling a little uneasy. Xuanmen Taoism?
Does that mean there are ghosts in this world?
Thinking of this, they all looked around in horror, fearing that a ghost would jump out from beside them.
Su Nuobai used the technique of shrinking the earth into an inch, which consumed some spiritual energy. If she was not afraid of scaring people, she would have directly used the ghost method, which might be even faster than this.
Feng Zhi couldn't bear it anymore. He felt dizzy and nauseous. He leaned against a tree with a grim look on his face.
When he came here, he felt the biting cold and seemed to see black mist rising from the lake.
Su Nuobai turned around and saw Feng Zhi staring at the lake: "I forgot that you opened your third eye before. You can see some blurry things recently."
After Feng Zhi recovered, he looked at the surrounding environment: "This is a lake in the suburbs of Beijing."
Su Nuobai walked to the lakeside and saw a black, twisted, wriggling thing at the bottom of the lake: "Come out."
Her voice was not loud, but it carried spiritual power that struck the dark shadow at the bottom of the lake.
The black shadow was stimulated and rushed out of the water, revealing its true form.
A group of strange-looking souls with countless faces on their bodies were roaring and screaming in pain.
"Who dares to disturb my practice?"
The black shadow was huge, floating on the lake, making Su Nuobai, who was standing on the shore, look petite and cute.
Feng Zhi could only see a ball of black mist and could not see the whole picture. He stood in front of Su Nuobai and looked at him warily.
Su Nuobai patted Feng Zhi's arm and said, "Just stand aside and watch. You can't help here."
After she finished speaking, she looked at the shadow and said, "Hand over the soul I took away yesterday, and I will consider giving you a quick death."
"Shameless little kid."
The black shadow looked at Su Nuobai, his voice full of joy: "Haha! He's a Xuanshi after all. The soul of a Xuanshi is the purest and most delicious. After eating you, my cultivation will surely reach great heights."
The black shadow twisted its body happily and pounced towards Su Nuobai with its fangs and claws bared.
Su Nuobai stretched out his hand to push Feng Zhi away, then raised his hand and slashed a stream of spiritual power directly at the black shadow.
One of the shadow's arms fell off, and the soul on it floated out, standing sluggishly on the lake without any movement.
"Damn it, you deserve to die."
