Chapter 102 Friends
Leopard Eyes acted out a show for Bai.
The guests who were not to be provoked were not driven away.
He took the seat for no apparent reason.
Honestly speaking, this is understandable to the current Dali Temple Chief Justice. After all, they are superiors and they occasionally act as informants for the government.
Ah? What? The only son of the Dali Temple's chief minister? The noble son of the Chu family who was responsible for the fire in the Yuzhang Chu family ancestral hall?
Oh, that's okay.
The Leopard Eye Gang immediately admired their boss's ability to judge people.
"Large population movement?" the old woman repeated: "Large population movement ..."
After all, the old woman has seen the world.
When she was young, she had witnessed some ghosts transforming into ghosts through rituals and gaining supreme power.
She paused. "Are you looking for something? A ghost or something."
She glanced at Chu Songjun obscurely.
Are the evil spirits in his body still not enough to satisfy him? He actually wants to catch other evil spirits.
"Maybe..." Chu Songjun touched his chin.
The old woman thought carefully for a moment and said, "The population management in Xijing is strict. The disappearance of a good person will basically be investigated by the Dali Temple. As for the illegal residents, the Dali Temple will naturally pay attention to them. According to the information from this old woman, there has not been a large number of disappearances and deaths recently."
"but……"
Xijing's strict population management is to prevent certain things from causing trouble in their territory, but if it is their own people who are causing trouble, they will naturally find ways to circumvent it and not be discovered.
"If a noble family wants to buy slaves..."
The old woman didn't say it definitely, but the implication was fully conveyed.
"This kind of thing is not something our gang can understand. Who dares to understand the affairs of the noble families?"
Xie Jinghe, who was listening, froze.
He glanced at the old woman unhappily.
The Xie family is naturally a noble and upright family, so how could such a villain have the right to interfere?
Xie Jing was angry, but did not say a word and continued to wait for Chu Songjun to speak.
Chu Songjun pondered.
If it was a noble family, they could indeed easily transport people in without leaving any traces.
But why would the noble family create a disaster that would destroy the entire Xijing?
This does not conform to the logic of the aristocratic families, who put family interests first.
The Xuanyuan Dynasty was not ruled by the royal family, but by aristocratic families.
Why would they destroy Xijing? There is no benefit at all.
Chu Songjun kept the answer of aristocratic family in his mind as a backup option.
After all, we cannot rule out the possibility that something dirty has polluted some people's minds, making them think there is profit in this.
"Are there any other possibilities?"
Chu Songjun asked again without getting tired of it.
He always needs more information and clues to find the clue.
"this……"
The old woman was also thinking.
There is a vague sense of uneasiness in my heart.
Is something big about to happen in Xijing?
A possibility suddenly occurred to her.
Chu Songjun narrowed his eyes slightly when he saw this.
There was a crackling sound outside the door.
Mixed with the screams of the Leopard Eye Gang members: "What the hell! It bounced over here!"
The attendants immediately surrounded Xie Jinghe and Chu Songjun.
Chu Songjun instantly realized that it was a snake chasing him.
The Xijing gang of thugs, who were used to committing violent acts, were no more than vulnerable jade statues when hunted by the snake.
The clothes on Chu Songjun's body suddenly fluttered.
A swell of flesh and blood formed, and then shrank in an instant.
The frog eggs hatched and burrowed into his body.
"Let's go--"
The escape was chaotic.
Chu Songjun heaved a sigh of relief only when the tadpoles in his flesh and blood stopped moving.
Xie Jinghe didn't understand what was going on and was a little panicked. He held Chu Songjun's hand tightly.
Their faces were filled with confusion about the unknown.
Xie Jinghe seemed to want to say something but stopped.
In order to open his children and grandchildren's eyes to the world, Xie's ancestor provided them with a scene of a snake eating a man. Xie Jinghe was indescribable about the snake, and the only thing he could think of was fear just by looking at it.
He muttered to himself, "Perhaps we should report this to the City Defense Department. Something strange has invaded Xijing."
Chu Songjun noticed what the old woman had not finished saying and fled with her.
Once we reached a safe area, we immediately stepped forward to press for clues.
The old woman was wearing a linen dress and was originally leaning on a cane, but when she started running, it was discovered that she was not lame at all and was just pretending. The male slave didn't even run faster than her.
Chu Songjun stopped her: "Do you have any other guesses about this?"
The old woman stood there and did not answer.
Chu Songjun realized that something was wrong.
Wang Youyu walked forward carefully and was about to pat the old woman, but he saw the sackcloth on the old woman being lifted up. An unknown wind suddenly blew past, and the old woman's body instantly collapsed into a pile of fine sand in front of everyone.
Only one kidney was left in the center of the fine sand, still beating vigorously. Its red and green tendons were wrapped in thin flesh, and its blood flowed out through its tubes, dyeing the pile of fine sand red.
"ah--"
Wang Youyu let out a short cry.
"She ran away."
Chu Songjun narrowed his eyes slightly.
The male slave watched the scene silently and closed his eyes in despair.
"Why are you running?"
He also sacrificed his own healthy kidney.
The old woman's attitude was contradictory. While she was afraid of him, she also guessed something and decided to leave despite this fear?
Presumably, the old woman from the Leopard Eye Gang will never go back. Such a person is cunning and has three burrows. It is impossible to catch him in a short time.
But it doesn’t matter. If he doesn’t ask the question this time, he will definitely answer it next time.
Just as Chu Songjun was thinking about it.
He was caught by someone.
"My son, what are you doing here?"
Chu Bingtian's voice suddenly appeared.
"Jinghe, why are you with Chu Bingtian's child?"
Minister Xie's voice was quite broken.
There was a suffocating silence.
Xie Jinghe approached Chu Songjun again, and after a long pause, he pretended to be calm and said, "It's Songjun's birthday, so I brought him here to cruise the lake."
"Jinghe?"
Minister Xie took a step back as if he was doubting his life.
The two of them were escorting someone behind them, and it was Wen Shao, who was captured by them from the Plum Blossom Inn.
Wen Shao's head drooped, his hair scattered, covering his eyebrows and eyes. Under the strict supervision of the Dali Temple, he was unable to escape.
Chu Songjun glanced at Wen Shao, then gently looked away.
His attitude towards Wen Shao was neither hatred nor fear, just normality.
For him, he didn't care much about the instigator of the ghost painting case. The fact that he fell into Chu Bingtian's hands proved that the murderer would not have an easy time.
For him, there are other things in the world that are more worthy of his attention and occupy all his mind.
For example, the impending Xijing death loop.
Chu Bingtian's reaction was not as strong as Minister Xie's.
He didn't expect to encounter a big surprise halfway.
He wiped the dust off Chu Songjun's face, pondered for a long time, and said, "Do you want to come together?"
Xie Jinghe looked down at Chu Songjun hesitantly.
Chu Bingtian did not give them a chance to refuse.
He was obviously still thinking about his proposal this morning and decided to implement it.
***
Dali Temple.
Chu Songjun saw many familiar faces inside, all of them were members of the Chu family.
Before Chu Bingtian almost dragged Chu Songjun into the interrogation room, they quickly gave a reminder.
Even for someone favored by the Chu ancestors, it was somewhat unlucky to be put into an interrogation room on his fourth birthday.
Is this something children should play?
Chu Bingtian didn't want to pay attention to it, but Chu Songjun himself didn't want to enter the interrogation room, so he had no choice but to give up.
Wen Shao is the wanted criminal in the ghost painting case.
Accused jointly by dozens of families.
If possible, she might be tortured to death dozens of times by the noble families.
This also means that time is running out and severe torture will be necessary to pry her open.
Chu Songjun didn't want to get himself dirty for the time being.
So this time he had the highly acclaimed sugar-roasted chestnuts in advance, which were recommended by everyone in the Dali Temple to keep for themselves.
Freshly baked, it tastes better than when it was a little cold.
“…”
Xie Jinghe was also beside Chu Songjun.
Taking the chestnuts handed over by Chu Songjun, Xie Jinghe looked at them carefully and suddenly said, "I thought you would dislike me..."
Chu Songjun paused in throwing chestnuts at the shadow.
Xie Jinghe's face was hidden under the shadow of a tree in the Dali Temple courtyard, and a layer of light covered his fair skin: "I clearly said I would take care of you, but still..."
Xie Jinghe waved away the attendant with a complicated expression: "I mean, it was supposed to be me who lost my flesh and blood."
He paused: "But at that moment, I hesitated."
What is he referring to?
Chu Songjun: ""
Dalang pulled his hand and swung it, he wanted to eat another one.
"Everyone says I have a beautiful appearance, and I used to be proud of it, but a mere evil ghost exposed my true colors."
Xie Jinghe looked at the shadows of the trees and said softly.
"Embarrassed and ashamed, Xie Jinghe was just a waste under the protection of our ancestors. When the evil spirit came to haunt me, I had no idea what to do. I just felt that everything was over."
"No, in the first act, you helped everyone."
Chu Songjun pointed out.
"You're just too hard on yourself. If you take a step back, you'll know you're doing well enough and don't have to worry."
No need to worry...
Xie Jinghe was stunned.
“There has never been anyone in front of me. There is only fog in front of me.”
“Every time I write, I hesitate whether I can finish it in one go without leaving any flaws.”
"I don't know, I don't understand, I don't know."
Xie Jinghe turned his head and looked at Chu Songjun deeply.
"...No need to worry, indeed."
He raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
He spoke each word with a trembling voice: "Can I..."
Chu Songjun nodded immediately.
There is nothing wrong with them being friends, it would be better to say that they are already friends.
Xie Jinghe was so excited that her pupils dilated unconsciously: "I can follow you! This is the decision I will never regret in my life!"
Chu Songjun: “?”
Wait, what follow?
Before Xie Jinghe could explain, his face suddenly changed, and he pounced on Chu Songjun, and the facial features suddenly melted like wax.
"how--"
The child's eyes widened.
Wen Shao narrowed his eyes slightly, with the trace of the centipede's twisting body still on his lips. He saw a centipede that was two fingers wide and several meters long suddenly thrown at Xie Jinghe!
Dalang suddenly rushed out of Chu Songjun's shadow and grabbed Wen Shao's face.
The unknown attack caused the witch who had just escaped from prison to let out a wail.
The slender centipede slid into Wen Shao's stomach with a hissing sound. The woman's slender hands tried to pry the thing off her face, and her scarred body twisted in the air like a worm!
The intense pain felt like a steel needle piercing into the flesh on her face!
"Thank you, brother"
Chu Songjun's voice was a little confused.
The ghost babies quickly pulled Cassiae out. After all, they were all fish that fell into the net of compulsory education, but Cassiae at least had some infant medicine education.
Xie Jinghe had lost his mouth, so naturally he couldn't say anything clearly. He grabbed Chu Songjun's hand and couldn't even cry out in pain.
Chu Bingtian and everyone from the Dali Temple arrived late.
His face was solemn: "It's a Gu! My son, please show mercy!"
He noticed Wen Shao who was almost killed, and hurriedly shouted: "Wen Shao must have the antidote! My son, come and give me a hand! Interrogate this wanted criminal!"
Chu Songjun hugged Xie Jinghe, the hissing sound in his ears became more and more obvious, and the discarded tail in his flesh and blood, which was gradually metamorphosing into a frog, suddenly broke out of his body!
Chu Songjun could hear his own heavy breathing.
The space in front of him suddenly distorted, and a black snake opened its huge mouth from the air.
A few stars twinkled in the boundless darkness in the mouth.
Cassia acted quickly, and there was no pain at all, and blood spurted out in the air.
Before the snake swallowed the frog.
The cycle starts again.
[I offer my life to the great **** and beg for the passage of time! ]
