For this reason, the guy was once appreciated by Wang Lang and served as the chief registrar of Kuaiji County for a while. Later, Wang Lang was defeated, and Li Jing was afraid of being implicated, so he moved from Kuaiji to Wu County. His talent and learning were good, but his moral character was too poor...

By the way, why did you suddenly ask about this person?"

Cao Peng hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Li Jing is dead!"

"ah?"

Kan Ze was on duty at the inn today and didn't go out, so he didn't know much about what was happening outside.

In fact, even if a little person like Li Jing was killed, he might not know it even if he went out. If Cao Peng hadn't overheard it in the wine shop today and was interested in buying a book, he probably wouldn't have noticed. Kan Ze read it

He looked at Cao Peng and then at the scroll in front of him.

"Afu, these books..."

"Well, I bought it from the Li family."

Kan Ze was excited and quickly put the scroll back into the box.

"You guy, why don't you tell me clearly?"

"What's wrong?"

"This thing is bad luck."

Kan Ze said, taking out a box from under the bed with some cattail leaves on the side.

"I usually keep this thing just to get rid of bad luck. I didn't expect that I would actually use it today."

With that said, Kan Ze first took out two cattail leaves, dipped them in water, washed his hands, then sealed the book box, cleaned it with cattail leaves a few times, and placed the cattail leaves on the book box respectfully.

Afterwards, Kan Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully you said it early, otherwise I would have been unlucky.

Let's deal with it like this first, and tomorrow I will go get some talismans and stick them on the bookcase. It will take three days and three nights to completely remove the bad luck on it."

Chu people are fond of ghosts and gods, and Chu Ci is filled with a lot of witchcraft culture.

Therefore, Cao Peng didn't care much about Kan Ze's actions. His eyes fell on a branch next to Kan Ze's bed.

There are several red beans hanging on the branches, and the color is particularly bright.

"Afu, how did Li Jing die? Yesterday I saw him strutting around in well-dressed clothes. This guy doesn't look like a short-lived person."

"Uh, I..." Cao Peng came to his senses and organized his words: "I occasionally heard people say today that Li Jing died and his wife was selling off her property. I know that Brother Kan, you are a good book.

So I had the idea to go over and buy Li Jing's book collection.

but……"

"But what?"

"I don't think Li Jing died suddenly."

Kan Ze was startled and couldn't help but laugh: "Ah Fu, how old are you, how do you know he is not a violent soldier?"

"I have seen his body... On the surface, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. But I noticed that his lips were slightly dark and his expression was very peaceful. Generally speaking, if it is a violent death, there must be something

I struggled a lot, but from the body, I couldn’t see any signs of pain before Li Jing died. I think he probably died of poisoning, but I don’t know what kind of poison it was.”

"Then the government..."

"The government said he was a violent soldier, which makes me feel even more weird.

Even I could see such an obvious loophole, but the government officials turned a blind eye. Moreover, Mrs. Li didn't seem to have any objections. The body here was not buried yet, but there was a rush to sell off the property and prepare to return to her hometown...

I think Mrs. Li received some kind of warning, so she behaved like this. In short, I found this matter very strange, so I came to ask."

Kan Ze was silent.

After a moment, he raised his head and whispered: "Afu, do you believe me?"

Cao Peng was startled, then nodded and replied: "Brother Kan, where did you start with these words? If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have said so many words to you."

"Don't worry about it anymore."

"ah?"

"The government can blatantly ignore loopholes and judge Li Jing to have died violently; Li Jing's body is still cold, and Mrs. Li hurriedly wants to leave. There must be something weird here, but it is definitely not something you or I can interfere with. I also know that you have the ability, but sometimes You and I must learn to pretend to be deaf and dumb. Even the Wu County government can suppress it. If there is someone behind the scenes, it is definitely not you and I who can fight... You told me that doing more is worse than doing less. This makes sense. Don't worry about this anymore, otherwise you and I might get into trouble."

Cao Peng was silent...

Kan Ze's words were serious and thoughtful.

He could feel Kan Ze's kindness. In his previous life, someone had tried to persuade him like this, but what happened? He didn't listen, and his family was ruined in the end.

Thinking of this, Cao Peng suddenly felt aggrieved.

"Brother Kan, I'm tired."

"Then have a good rest. Aren't you going to Huating with Mr. Xun tomorrow? Go to bed early. If anything happens, I will tell you."

Cao Peng nodded, and before leaving, he took away the red bean stick planted next to the bed.
