Chapter 182: Parting ways
Can this be washed?
Li Xiuran looked at Xiao Wenfu in surprise.
"Well……"
Chu Yang was also stunned and said weakly: "Only Xingqing Mansion near Huai County is making trouble for the corpse monster. Afterwards, Xiaguan ordered people to search carefully. The traces left by the corpse monster were found on the mountain. It should be enough to prove that the corpse monster came from Xingqing Mansion?"
Xiao Wenfu said lightly: "Justice Li said just now that the corpse monster only attacked several nearby villages, and the magistrate Chu also said that the previous corpse monster had been wiped out.
The post station is south of Huai County, and Xingqing Prefecture is north of Huai County. If the corpse monster comes from Xingqing Prefecture, if you want to attack, you should attack the villages in the north. Why bother to look far and go around the post station and then attack?
It can be seen that the corpse monster does not necessarily come from Xingqing Mansion, but may come from other places."
Chu Yang opened his mouth, and suddenly realized in his heart. He heard Xiao Wenfu's obvious intention to help Xingqing Mansion develop, and did not dare to sing a counter-topic with him again. He laughed dryly:
"What the lord said is reasonable, but the lower officials are a little unconsidered."
Tsk, you really spared no effort to wipe the butt of Xingqing Mansion... Li Xiuran secretly complained, looked at Chu Yang and then asked, "Master Chu said that Xingqing Mansion is making a corpse monster, but what is the inside story? Can you tell me?"
"this……"
Chu Yang glanced at Xiao Wenfu and said cautiously: "The officials have only heard of it. There are many rumors and are not worthy of making up for it. It's better not to say it, so as not to be wronged by Xingqing Mansion."
Li Xiuran felt a little worried. He was afraid of offending Xiao Wenfu, so he didn't dare to talk more.
He also thought of getting evidence of the flood of corpses in Xingqing Mansion from him, so that even if Xue Dingqian denies him after arriving in Xingqing Mansion, he could use this to question him.
Now that Xiao Wenfu has been disturbed, it is obviously a bit difficult to let Chu Yang speak.
Li Xiuran was a little disappointed: "Since Lord Chu doesn't want to say it, then forget it."
Xiao Wenfu's lips curled slightly and looked at Li Xiuran and said, "Does Li Shidu want to ask the magistrate Chu? It's too late, and a village nearby was attacked by a corpse monster. As the magistrate of Chu, he still has to deal with the aftermath. If not, we should not delay the magistrate Chu."
I was so scared by you that I didn’t dare to speak anymore. I was just asking... Li Xiuran complained in his heart and said lightly: "It's gone."
Xiao Wenfu glanced at Chu Yang, who understood it and stood up and said goodbye: "Then the officials will not disturb the rest of the adults. I will wait for the morning of tomorrow. The officials will come to see off the adults again."
Xiao Wenfu smiled slightly: "I have seen it tonight, so there is no need to worry about the magistrate Chu."
"No trouble, no trouble. I didn't go out to greet a few lords today. The lord is already rude first. The lord is leaving tomorrow. If the lord doesn't send him off, it would be too unreasonable."
Chu Yang smiled and left the station with his people.
Li Xiuran stood up and said, "I have to hurry up tomorrow morning. Lord Xiao will rest early. The official will go back to the room first."
Xiao Wenfu looked at him: "I have been on the road for several days and have just taken people to kill the corpse demon. I have also gone out to search for it for a long time. Thank you for your hard work, Shidu and the three poliests, so I have rested early."
Li Xiuran bowed his hand and turned around and left.
Xiang Kun, Zhao Zi'ang and Fang Yue also stood up one after another, said goodbye to Xiao Wenfu, and returned to the room.
"I was kind along the way. I thought he was a good official, but I didn't expect that when I encountered Xingqing Mansion, his fox tail was revealed. The prince's people and Xue E were indeed birds of a feather!" Chi Qingwan said with anger.
"Chu Yang obviously knew some inside story, but after being beaten by Xiao Wenfu, he didn't dare to say that he was afraid of offending him. Xiao Wenfu's attitude was clearly to help Xingqing Mansion cover up the matter. With him by his side, we want to find out the corpse monster, but we are afraid it will be very difficult." Yang Wenxin frowned.
Li Xiuran nodded. Xiao Wenfu's attitude was already very clear. He obviously wanted to help Xingqing Mansion wipe his butt to the bottom. He could hit Chu Yang today so that he would not dare to speak, and he would threaten the next person tomorrow.
Having him by my side is definitely a burden.
Li Xiuran made a decisive decision in his heart: "It seems that we can only leave him alone and investigate ourselves. When we set off tomorrow morning, I will go and tell him."
...
A night passed by.
The next morning, Li Xiuran and others got up and packed their luggage, had breakfast, and prepared to set off again.
Chu Yang also arrived at the post station early and sent Xiao Wenfu and others to the foot of the mountain before saying goodbye: "Climb this mountain and you will reach Xingqing Mansion. The mountain road is rugged. Be careful. If the officials are still in charge, they will send it to you not far."
All of them have been sent to the foot of the mountain, but not far away. If you send them to the distance, you still want to send them to Xingqing Mansion directly... Li Xiuran complained secretly.
Xiao Wenfu nodded slightly: "I will be more careful, please come back to the county magistrate Chu."
"Several adults will walk slowly, and the officials will leave here." Chu Yang bowed and bowed, and then turned around and left with a group of yamen runners.
Li Xiuran looked at Xiao Wenfu and said, "Mr. Xiao said yesterday that the disaster in Xingqing Prefecture is urgent and urgent. We need to rush there as soon as possible. After thinking about it, the officials felt very reasonable.
Lord Xiao is getting older and it is difficult to walk on the mountain road. If you hurry up, you will be afraid that there will be danger.
To be safe, Lord Xiao should not be too anxious to rush. Go slowly in the back and put safety first. The lower officials will lead people to Xingqing Mansion first, and then meet with Lord Xiao in the mansion city."
Xiao Wenfu's face changed slightly in an instant. He heard Li Xiuran's implication that he wanted to act alone. He looked at him and frowned and said, "Don't be anxious at this moment. If the disaster in Xingqing Mansion is really serious, he may encounter danger on the road.
We don’t have many people, and if we disperse it, it’s a bit inappropriate. Shidu Li should go with me.”
"Hahaha, the strength of the corpse demon, I have already experienced it last night. They are all a group of mobs, and even if they encounter it, it is not worth worrying.
The lower officials only brought Lord Xiang and his deployment together. Lord Zhao and Lord Fang took people to walk with Lord Xiao. With two masters here, they will definitely be able to protect Lord Xiao without any worries. Lord Xiao can rest assured.
The lower officials rushed there as soon as possible. If there is a corpse demon who is really a disaster, they can also be pacified as soon as possible. If you arrive one moment earlier, you may be able to save one more person. It is related to human life. The earlier you arrive, the better."
Li Xiuran laughed. Although Zhao Zi'ang and Fang Yue were also from the Demon Suppression Department, it was obvious that he could not take everyone away. Xiao Wenfu would definitely strongly oppose it.
Secondly, if only these few ceremonial guards and guards are left, if they really encounter a corpse monster, he is afraid that he will be in danger.
The emperor sent Xiao Wenfu over, obviously trying to let them clamp down on each other. If Xiao Wenfu dies, he will not be able to explain, so it is better to leave some people for him.
Among the three people, Xiang Kun, Zhao Zi'ang and Fang Yue, he still trusts Xiang Kun the most.
All the righteousness that concerns human life was brought out. Although Xiao Wenfu was worried, he couldn't object anymore. He looked at Xiang Kun, Zhao Zi'ang, and Fang Yue and said:
"What do you think of the three gurus?"
Zhao Zi'ang smiled and said, "Your Majesty ordered Lord Xiao and Shiduo Li to be the chief and deputy envoys. We are only responsible for assisting. Just make decisions on everything, so there is no need to ask me."
Xiang Kun and Fang Yue also nodded.
No one objected, Xiao Wenfu had to agree: "Since Li Shidu insisted on doing this, then follow what you said."
