Chapter Thirteen Dark Clouds Covering Snow

The heavenly corpse that had been cultivated for more than ten years was destroyed and the jasper cicada was stolen. Xiaoyao Hou was furious and ordered a thorough investigation.

According to the traces left on the scene, the clues pointed to the arch-rival Ji Guo and the Nanhai Sect in a corner of the southeast.

But on the third day after a fire in Yunxi Valley, a yellow-faced man shouted to buy "Is Li Hou a King?", named Xiao Yaoke. The next day, Nanxing was assassinated in Fanzhou, and the Nanhai faction immediately entered a state of emergency, and the whole world was hunted down by Xiao Yaoke.

Anyone is likely to assassinate Nanxing, but no one has ever admitted it. The unknown Xiao Yaoke was involved in it, and the relationship inside was quite confusing.

Is he an enemy or an assassin?

By simplifying the complex and calculating the time and itinerary, Xiao Yaoke was a major suspect in the Yunxigu crime.

Because the perpetrator obviously headed towards Ji State, the master of the Hou Mansion only visited Yangwu County, a stream across the river, and did not alarm the county government. Who would have thought that if he didn't check it, he would be shocked when he checked it. The situation became more and more complicated and strange, and the clues were like pulling a ball of wool, and the longer it became...

On the full moon night before the Yunxi Valley fire, a huge battle of immortal masters broke out in the graves of Yangwu County. The graves of the entire mountain were all lifted, trees broke, and bones were everywhere.

From the point of view, it was the consecration of the upper realm ghost cultivator Bai Wuchang who protected the heavenly corpse.

That night, another man went to the Fenshan alone, Chu Fan, who was in the Yangwu County Capture House.

Who survived a life-and-death battle?

Chu Fan returned a month later and bought a manor.

But Bai Wuchang did not leave any bones in Yunxi, and he was probably finished long ago.

When tracing Chu Fan, there are more and more doubts.

He appeared out of thin air in Yangwu County. It is said that he was a distant relative of the head-catcher Shi Meng. After an undercover investigation, he found that it was nonsense.

Chu Fan's road guide indicated that his original origin was Yunmeng, and he also placed Yunmeng Liuren in Chu Garden, known as Yunmeng Young Master. With his style and skills, as well as inexhaustible gold and silver, he should be the upper-class young master, but no one in Yunmeng knows about it.

What is his relationship with Yunmeng? He has no clue.

How could a noble immortal master reduce his status and become a vain? He worked diligently and was busy with unconscious visits on the streets, not simply acting.

Could it be that you can enter the world to experience enlightenment?

Which sect is it from, or is it a casual cultivator?

One thing is certain that he has nothing to do with the case of the Heavenly Corpse.

In addition to suspected killing Bai Wuchang on the full moon night, Chu Fan stayed for only a few days after returning to Yangwu and left in a hurry. On the day he left, there happened to be a fire in Yunxi Valley, the sky corpse was destroyed, and the jasper cicada was stolen.

He is the first suspect, and Xiao Yaoke can only rank second.

After further investigation, it was found that after the battle of the Immortal Master on a full moon night, the county magistrate Li Wen actually suppressed this major situation and concealed it without reporting it. Coincidentally, his father Li Guangming was once the magistrate of Yangwu County. Ten years ago, he died of illness a few days after he was lost because of the Tianzi in Yunxi Valley.

...

After listening to Liu Xian’s narration, Xiaoyao Hou pondered for a while and sneered:

"The current county magistrate Li Wen is actually the son of Li Guangming. No wonder this marquis was moved when he saw the official selection list presented by Qingyun County... In the riot of prisoners of war, Li Guangming knew about the situation and repeatedly made suggestions. He said that for the sake of the people, he must destroy the heavenly corpse... Humph, the corrupt scholar was shallow. He only saw a few babies died in the county, and his heart was extremely painful. But he didn't know that once the heavenly corpse was raised, thousands of soldiers would die on the battlefield...

"Li Guangming did not die of illness, but my marquis asked someone to kill him. I believe that this stubborn old man told his son about the situation before he died, so Li Wen tried every means to seek the position of Yangwu County Magistrate to fulfill his father's wish. But he could not deal with the heavenly corpse, so he opened a door of convenience for Chu Fan. You don't have to investigate anymore, so as not to escalate the situation, pull out the radish and bring out the mud, which is difficult to clean up. This marquis is sure that Chu Fan is the one who destroyed the corpse and stole the jade, and is even the same person as Xiao Yaoke. As a court official, Li Wen is determined to act alone, and his heart can be killed..."

Liu Xian asked for instructions:

"Mr. Marquis, I'll send someone to arrest Li Wen immediately."

"No, he is the head of a county after all, and represents the dignity and majesty of the country. How can he be arrested casually? I have to find an excuse, and I don't believe that he is as clear as water and as bright as a mirror."

"Marty, this... is not easy to find. Our people have checked it. Li Wen's official reputation in Yangwu is very good. In addition, it has only been more than half a year. Even if he wants to fill his pockets, he will be very cautious in the early stage and strive to achieve political achievements."

"There is no problem with political achievements, is there no problem with personal ethics?"

"This is really. As an official, Li Wen fell in love with Du Qiuniang, a singer in Langui Lefang. I heard that the two of them are as varnish as paint and are already talking about marriage."

"Oh, Du Qiuniang, singing and dancing, singing around the beams, dancing clouds... This girl is aloof and excluded. Now that she is getting older, she should find a good family to marry. After all, she can't live a lifetime by singing and dancing... Oh, forget it, Li Wen was demoted, and there is no need to go into the details. But Chu Fan must take it down. Do he have any relatives and friends?"

"Reported to the Marquis, when Chu Fan appeared in Yangwu County, he only brought a sister Chu Ling, and the most important relative should be her. He stayed with the head-catching Shi Meng family for a while and had a close relationship with each other. Later, he had an ambiguous relationship with two women, Li Su and Yan Wan'er. By the way, Li Su was also the daughter of Li Zheng, the priest of Yunmeng wine..."

Xiaoyao Hou raised his palm and interrupted Liu Xian to introduce the situation, saying:

"No need to explain in detail. Send Deli people to Yangwu County immediately, arrest people related to Chu Fan, detain them in a safe and hidden place, and be entertained by good people. Remember, you must proceed quietly and bypass the government. It is best to make an ordinary revenge killing in the world, or rob and kidnap the votes..."

Dada dada...

The cavalry flew to the front but was blocked by the guards on the periphery and could not come over. He anxiously said something to the head captain.

Liu Xian looked at it and said:

"Hey, I'm from the Imperial Heavenly Prison. Marquis, I'll go and ask."

Xiaoyao Hou snorted and said:

"No, call him over."

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing the costumes of an imperial inspector trotted to Marquis Li, bowed to see him and said anxiously:

"Report to the Marquis, a mad disciple forced himself into the Immortal Master's Hall and beat up disciples of Tiantai Sect!"

What?

Several scribes looked at each other.

There have always been only disciples of Tiantai Sect beat others, but why are they beaten by others today? They are still in their own territory.

This, this... is a rhythm that is going to be a big deal!

"Hurry up and explain it clearly, don't miss it at all." Liu Xian ordered.

"Wait a minute."

Xiaoyao Hou waved his hand and looked at his grandson playing in the field, with a hint of kindness on his face, saying:

"Go and invite the general and discuss it together."

When Li Lie, who was barefoot mud-handed, came over and stood respectfully on the side, the officials of the Imperial Heaven Supervision told the story of what had just happened. When he left, Xiao Yaoke was betting against King Sun of Wu to guess the chess piece.

After half a cup of tea, the atmosphere became solemn.

Tiantai Sect is the real master of Li Kingdom. Now that the master is beaten like a dog, something big must happen to the royal city!

Xiaoyao Hou had a sneer on his lips and waved his hand to let the officials of the Imperial Heaven Supervision retreat, saying:

"As soon as Xiao Yaoke was mentioned, he actually came and made a big fuss in the Immortal Master Pavilion. Li Lie, what do you think should you do?"

Li Lie bent his waist respectfully and said:

"The city gates should be blocked immediately and heavy troops should be sent..."

Xiaoyao Hou sighed, shook his head and said:

"If you want the country's fortune to last, you must remember that before the sect gives orders, you should not intervene in the fight between monks at will. Xiao Yaoke can make King Sun of Wu condescendingly and make friends, which is definitely not Yi. Just now, I felt that there was a sharp will in the Immortal Master Pavilion, who had suddenly appeared and had actually made a powerful transition to the fifth level of tribulation... Guess what he was here for?"

Li Lie said:

"Xiao Yaoke is a pseudonym, with the word Nanhai added in front of it, but his spiritual sense is strong, which deliberately makes people suspicious of the Nanhai Sect and arouses hatred with the Tiantai Sect."

Xiaoyao Hou smiled and said:

"The purpose of this is visible to blind people, but it is not the main thing... Yesterday, Li Linglong sent a magic messenger back and actually concealed the spies all over the world. There was definitely an expert escort. Today, when the outer lord took her back, Xiao Yaoke immediately appeared to disturb her. It was a bit too coincidental. Think about it again, Li Junqi and Yunmeng's common enemy is me, and Chu Fan has a close relationship with Yunmeng, and Xiao Yaoke is obviously the reinforcement that Linglong moved back. Combined with the past information, it is completely certain that they are the same person.

"So, what did Chu Fan do? It's probably the one who came to assassinate me. If you want to destroy Tiantai Sect, you should go to Tiantai Mountain instead of beating the insignificant outer disciples. If you assassinate me, Li Guo General will be in chaos and cannot attack Yunmeng in a short period of time. Li Junqi can also take advantage of the situation. He can do it and kill two birds with one stone."

The scribes showed surprise and suspicion, and Li Lie was sweating profusely when he heard it.

Xiaoyao Hou rose up and stretched his waist.

An invisible wave of air spread widened, and everyone was shaking and standing unsteadily.

Xiaoyaohou clenched his fist and bent his arms and turned his wrist, making a crisp sound, laughing:

"Hahaha, I was trying every means to eliminate hidden dangers, but I didn't expect Chu Fan to hit the door by himself. Since entering the Vajra Realm, I have not stretched my muscles and bones for many years. I hope he will not disappoint me..."

At this moment, there was a loud bang and the earth shook slightly.

Everyone turned their heads and looked towards the Immortal Master Pavilion, and Liu Xian pondered:

"It seems that the demarcation stone was hit with brute force, and I don't feel the magic fluctuations."

Xiaoyaohou nodded and said:

"Well, it's right, only Kunlun slaves have such divine power. Send people to inspect and send messages back at any time. In addition, increase personnel and closely monitor the palace and the princess's mansion."

After Liu made arrangements and then turned around, he had just discussed a few state affairs with Xiaoyao Hou and Li Lie. The blue sky was bolted and the earth shook.

The maids were fascinated and fell to the ground in a mess. Even the solemn soldiers turned around for a few rounds, counting breaths before reorganizing the formation.

The child who was playing with ants in the field sat down and cried with grievance. As a general, Li Lie didn't even look back, and the servants did not dare to come forward to comfort him. Wang Tian was not allowed to behead his head privately.

Whoosh...

A sharp roar came.

Xiaoyao Hou raised his hand and grabbed it. A piece of gravel stone hitting Bagua Field in the sky changed its trajectory and fell into his palm. With the huge palms closed, a steady stream of stone powder appeared from the cracks of his fingers.

The wind is blowing and the sky is cloudy.

Clouds gather from all directions, faintly revealing a faint blood red.

Xiaoyao Hou's bright laughter shocked the fields.

"Are you an ant under the heavens? Hahaha... Even if the immortals descend to earth, dare to fight with Li naked? Call me to cover the snow with dark clouds, lift my cold spear, and go to fight!"
