Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-Three: The Calamity of the Corpse Demon

"I have discussed with Lord Liang." Li Shutang nodded.

Liang Qiuhe smiled and said, "I am just temporarily dealing with Jingzhao Mansion. There may be variables, so I didn't plan to rush to pick up my family.

But I heard from Inspection Li that Peng Ce had been demoted by His Majesty to the people, and there should be no change in my position as the prefect, so I can take my family back to reunite with confidence.

Later, I will compile a letter and send it back to Qingyun early tomorrow morning to ask the guards at home to escort their families to Beijing."

Li Shutang said: "I also wrote a letter and sent it back together, asking your mother to pack up the gifts, and then go to Beijing with Lord Liang's family."

Li Xiuran nodded, which was similar to what he said before.

"It's really gratifying that Inspection Commissioner Li was also transferred to the capital. I just took office and there are many business tasks in the yamen. After these days, I will definitely celebrate it." Liang Qiuhe smiled.

"Okay, I drank Lord Liang's wedding banquet last time. This time, my father and I will be here. When Lord Liang finished his work, I will hold a banquet to celebrate together." Li Xiuran agreed with a smile.

Liang Qiuhe still had business to work, but Li Xiuran did not disturb him anymore and took Li Shaoxuan away from the government office.

The last time I went shopping, Li Shaoxuan and Lin Qianxue were kidnapped. Not only did I have fun, I was also frightened.

It was still early today, and Li Xiuran had free time, so he took Li Shaoxuan to visit the capital again before returning to the Demon Suppression Department.

As soon as I arrived at the hall, I saw Lin Fengkai sitting inside, talking to Yang Wenxin in a mess.

Li Xiuran said in surprise: "Why is Brother Lin coming?"

"My father has something to come to you, so let me come and invite you there." Seeing Li Xiuran enter the door, Lin Fengkai was immediately happy and immediately came forward.

Li Xiuran said unexpectedly: "Mr. Lin is looking for me? Brother Lin knows why?"

Lin Fengkai hesitated for a moment and said with a serious expression: "I told Brother Li before that I have another brother. Now I am working in Dingzhou. Does Brother Li still have an impression?"

Li Xiuran nodded. When he first visited the capital, Lin Fengkai did introduce him to him when he first visited the Lin family. He also had an older brother named Lin Fengtai, who was the magistrate of Dingzhou, Xingqing Prefecture.

Lin Yanjiang had something to look for him, and Lin Fengkai suddenly talked about his brother again, could it be...

"This matter has something to do with Brother Lin's brother?"

"good."

Lin Fengkai said in a deep voice: "Today I suddenly received a letter from my brother, saying that there was a corpse monster in Linzhou, Dingzhou, and the magistrate were worried that this would affect the two people's evaluation, so he deliberately concealed it and caused the corpse monster to spread. Now it has been affected by the whole palace, with countless casualties.

Dingzhou where my brother is located was also affected, and the disaster progressed rapidly. The elder brother was unable to calm down. The elder brother hid and refused to report it. In desperation, he could only write a letter to ask my father to report the matter to the emperor and ask His Majesty to send someone to remove the demons and provide disaster relief."

"Corpse Demon?"

Chi Qingwan immediately became interested: "A few corpse monsters should not be considered a big deal, right? Since the two dog officials are worried about affecting their assessment, they should send someone to remove them quickly? Why is it still rampant?"

Lin Fengkai shook his head: "Brother didn't say it in the letter, I don't know the specific situation."

It is possible that it is because of the flooding, so I am worried that it will affect my evaluation... Li Xiuran thought to himself that he probably understood what Lin Yanjiang was looking for him.

"Does Lord Lin want me to take people to quell this corpse demon disaster?"

"My father didn't say it, but he probably had this idea." Lin Fengkai guessed.

Li Xiuran nodded: "Then let's go, don't let Lord Lin wait for a long time."

...

Lin Mansion.

Li Xiuran followed Lin Fengkai all the way. When he entered the door, he saw Lin Qianxue wearing strong outfits, her long hair that was originally shawl was also tied up, and she was practicing boxing in a very good manner in the yard.

Li Xiuran was surprised and said, "Is Qianxue practicing qigong?"

Lin Fengkai nodded with a wry smile: "Since I was abducted in Yanzhizhai last time, this girl was frightened. After she came back, she said she wanted to practice martial arts. You also know her temper. No one can change her definite thing.

My father couldn't resist her, so he found a martial art for her and asked Uncle Han to give her guidance.

Shao Xuan came before and taught her another set of boxing techniques, and she has been practicing these days."

This left a shadow... Li Xiuran knew it in his heart, and suddenly felt a little laughed.

It is said that those who are close to Zhu are red, while those who are close to Mo are black. Shaoxuan and Lin Qianxue have been together for a few days. She didn't learn about Lin Qianxue's ladies' temperament at all, but she took Lin Qianxue's deviation...

"Qianxue has met his brother." Lin Qianxue stopped just now and bowed to him when she saw Li Xiuran.

"Have practiced well, keep working hard." Li Xiuran encouraged with a smile.

"I can do it. Last time I was at Yanzhizhai, if I had the same cultivation as Sister Shaoxuan, I would not have been easily kidnapped by them." Lin Qianxue nodded solemnly, with a sense of firmness on her face.

Lin Fengkai immediately smiled bitterly: "You should also pay attention to rest, remember that the excessive ones are not enough."

Lin Qianxue responded casually, but obviously didn't take it to heart.

Lin Fengkai shook his head helplessly, ignored her, looked at Li Xiuran and said, "My father should be in the study, I will take you there."

Li Xiuran nodded slightly and followed Lin Fengkai to the study room. He saw that he was reading a book, but his eyes were empty, and his attention was obviously not on the book, as if Lin Yanjiang was thinking. He didn't notice when both of them entered the door.

"Dad, Brother Li, I've invited you." Lin Fengkai said to remind.

Lin Yanjiang came to his senses, glanced at the two of them, put down the book in his hand, and said lightly: "Come on, let's sit down, Feng Kai has told you all the things?"

Li Xiuran sat down in the seat next to him and nodded, "Brother Lin has told me that Lord Lin is here to come and ask me to take people to pacify the corpse demon?"

"I have this intention, but I have to ask Your Majesty for instructions first, and..." Lin Yanjiang said with a serious face: "I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy."

Li Xiuran frowned slightly: "Why did sir say that?"

Lin Yanjiang glanced at him: "Do you know who was the prefect of Xingqing Prefecture who suffered a corpse demon this time?"

Li Xiuran shook his head and guessed: "Can he have a backer in the court?"

"It's more than just a backer." Lin Yanjiang sneered and said seriously: "The prefect of Xingqing Prefecture is named Xue Dingqian, who is the eldest son of Duke Cheng Guo Xue E. Duke Cheng Guo is an important member of the prince's party, and the power in the court cannot be underestimated."

He was actually the son of Duke Cheng... Li Xiuran was shocked. Last time he heard Lin Yanjiang talk about the power in the court, which mainly had four forces, and Duke Cheng was one of them. He was supported by the noble group and was a member of the princeling party. It can be said that his relationship was very strong.

No wonder even dares to hide and report major events like the flood of corpses and monsters. Lin Fengtai, a dignified magistrate, can only report through letters from home. This is really someone above!

"Sir, are you afraid that the Chengguo Guild will interfere?" Li Xiuran looked at Lin Yanjiang and understood what he meant just now.
