What's wrong with being a salted fish?

When Lin Zhuo opened his eyes slightly, he found that there was light in the room.

Oh, it's dawn.

Before he turned over to go back to sleep, he felt a pair of hands touching him.

Lin Zhuo turned around and saw that Zhao Jingming, who should have disappeared, was still lying on the bed, reading a book with gusto, and kept stroking his body with his other hand.

Stop touching it! Let the fox sleep!

The closer it gets to winter, the more sleepy Lin Zhuo feels every day, so the time he spends sleeping every day begins to grow infinitely longer, even though 0617 complains that he is simply lazy.

Lin Zhuo kicked Zhao Jingming's hand away with his hind legs, got into the bed, and lay on Zhao Jingming's abdomen to sleep again, but Lin Zhuo felt that the skin under his face was getting hotter and harder.

no? ah?

Lin Zhuo was surprised and looked at Zhao Jingming's face. He was still complaining about whether Zhao Jingming was a bit young and energetic.

The book Zhao Jingming had just been reading had been put aside by him. He covered half of his face with one hand and gasped slightly. His reddish face seemed to tell Lin Zhuo that he was also embarrassed now.

While Zhao Jingming was ashamed to look at Lin Zhuo's eyes, he excused himself in his mind.

How can you blame him? Who can stand up to the fact that his sweetheart is rubbing against his body?

Although Zhao Jingming was also surprised that Lin Zhuo could turn into a fox, he did not say anything about it.

Zhao Jingming felt that Lin Zhuo trusted him and was the reason why he approached him. He knew that he should help Lin Zhuo keep this secret.

But he couldn't hold it back. While Lin Zhuo was sleeping soundly, he rubbed Lin Zhuo's body inside and out, and studied it carefully.

Fortunately, Lin Zhuo didn't know, otherwise he would have given Zhao Jingming two claws.

Zhao Jingming calmed down, hugged Lin Zhuo to his chest, smoothed his hair and said, "Go on to sleep."

Just stop lying under him.

Lin Zhuo glanced at him suspiciously, why was this man acting strange today?

But sleepiness came over him again, Lin Zhuo opened his mouth to yawn, lowered his head and fell asleep.

Wait until he wakes up to discuss everything.

......

Li Hongrui blinked and sat up from the bed.

what happened? Head hurts.

Li Hongrui was about to wash up when he found large areas of brown blood on his bed, which seemed to have been there for a while.

Li Hongrui was startled and quickly got up from the bed, only to find that not only his bed, but also his body was covered with dried blood.

How is this going? Why don't I have any impression? !

Li Hongrui covered his head and began to recall. He was fine when he went to bed last night, which meant that this should have happened in the middle of the night.

What did I do in the middle of the night?

Li Hongrui's head was pounding and he had no memory of what happened in the middle of the night.

It felt like there was a second person in his body controlling his body and going out in the middle of the night.

Li Hongrui thought hard to no avail, so he could only change his clothes and prepare to go out and ask Bi Xun to send two people to clean his house.

As soon as he opened the door and went out, he saw Bi Xun running over, shouting: "Master, Master Li!"

"What happened?" Li Hongrui asked him.

"Luo Shan, Luo Shan is dead!" Bi Xun said hurriedly.

Luo Shan was one of the prefects who followed him. When his servants came to call him this morning, Bi Xun thought it was Zhao Jingming who had operated on Luo Shan. However, the servants said that Mr. Luo was bitten to death and part of his body was eaten.

Bi Xun was already annoyed because Zhao Jingming came to Yuezhou in person, but now there is an incident of unknown beasts eating people. Bi Xun now feels that he will not even see the sun tomorrow.

"Don't worry, wait until I finish reading and figure out a hexagram." Li Hongrui asked Bi Xun to show him the corpse first, maybe he can figure out one or two.

Bi Xun thought it made sense and hurriedly led him to the courtyard: "The servants will place Luo Shan in the courtyard first. Master, just go and take a look. Well, the prince is here too."

Hearing that Zhao Jingming was there, Li Hongrui subconsciously wanted to hide, but when he thought about it, based on his current skills and his calculation that Zhao Jingming was about to suffer a bloody disaster, he instantly felt confident.

"Those who are dying have nothing to worry about."

Seeing Li Hongrui's confident look, Bi Xun took him there with confidence.

When they entered the courtyard, they saw several people surrounding the mutilated body.

The white cloth covering Luo Shan's body has been lifted, revealing his current face. Half of his face was bitten to pieces, and there were many bites on his body. Judging from the tear marks, it looked like the work of wild animals.

Li Hongrui counted with his hands, and after getting the result, he swallowed unconsciously.

what happened? Why is this man's death related to himself?

Li Hongrui put down his hand and looked at Luo Shan's body again.

Could it be that you did this yourself?

Absolutely impossible!

It must have been done by some wild animal nearby, it definitely couldn't have been me!

......

"Host, what do you think Li Hongrui is thinking about right now?" 0617 chewed melon seeds in Lin Zhuo's mind again, trying to divert his attention.

The appearance of Luo Shan's corpse was so terrifying that it didn't dare to look at a single system.

"Just find an excuse to excuse yourself. He definitely doesn't believe he ate it."

Lin Zhuo now trembled when he thought about Li Hongrui's beast-like appearance last night.

Alas! It really makes my scalp numb just thinking about it!

"What's wrong? Is it a little cold?"

Zhao Jingming didn't care what Bi Xun was doing here with Li Hongrui. In his eyes, there was no difference between the two and dead people. He only cared about Lin Zhuo's feelings at the moment.

Who made him a soft little fox now?

Lin Zhuo looked up at him: Huh? Is this asking me?

He looked down at his furry paws again, and patted Zhao Jingming's face with a soft pad: Brother, I have fur, why am I cold?

"Master Li, Master Li, how are you?" Bi Xun asked Li Hongrui in a low voice.

Li Hongrui came back to his senses: "Ah, well, it was caused by wild animals, but I haven't figured out the specific animal."

"Master Li, what are you going to do?" Bi Xun urged him.

"Master Bi, what are you doing, taking Mr. Li to perform a juggling act for me?" Zhao Jingming supported Lin Zhuo and watched the performance of the two opposite him.

After Lin Zhuo finished taking photos of Zhao Jingming, he stepped on his arms and climbed up, then wrapped his arms around his neck and pretended to be a scarf.

After Zhao Jingming finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and then said with a smile: "I have forgotten that you are no longer Mr. Li, and your whole family has been exiled because of you."

Murder and kill!

Lin Zhuo watched Li Hongrui's expression change, and finally it turned dark. He felt that all the curse words he had spoken were swallowed back by him.

"Isn't this a gift from the prince?" Li Hongrui finally couldn't hold back and shouted at Zhao Jingming.

"Oh? Then tell me what I have done?" Zhao Jingming clasped his hands behind his back and said with a stern face: "Slandering the royal family is an extra crime."

"you!"

Zhao Jingming asked Li Hongrui to tell him, but he couldn't say a few words. He just suspected that Zhao Jingming was responsible for his broken sleeve, and there was no evidence. Now that Zhao Jingming was aroused, his inner thoughts were revealed.

Li Hongrui blamed Zhao Jingming for everything that happened to him, thinking that if it weren't for Zhao Jingming, the Li family would not be in this situation.

And he also remembered that Zhao Jingming died very early in his previous life. Why did he become Zhao Jingming's right-hand man in this life?

Could it be that Zhao Jingming was also reborn?

Li Hongrui looked at Zhao Jingming's expressionless expression and felt more and more that he had guessed the truth.

It doesn't matter, even if Zhao Jingming is reborn, he is not my opponent now. I gained his skills by eating Master Yao!

"Why don't you say anything?" Zhao Jingming looked at Li Hongrui: "It is said that I have suffered a bloody disaster recently? Why don't Master Li give me some advice?"

!!!

Before Li Hongrui could calm down, he started to panic again when he heard Zhao Jingming's words.

How did Zhao Jingming know?

Li Hongrui's heart skipped a beat and he looked around in panic. Are there Zhao Jingming's spies around here? !

Bi Xun panicked when he heard Zhao Jingming's words, and immediately wanted to escape, but was held down by a secret guard who appeared from nowhere.

"Master Bi, you are just thinking of escaping now. Do I think you are very brave?"

Zhao Jingming stretched out his hand and made a gesture, and the secret guard immediately controlled Li Hongrui, while others came forward with other prefects who were not present.

"I thought you had good intentions so that I could catch you all in one go."

Bi Xun didn't expect that Zhao Jingming would suddenly attack, and wanted to make a few quibbles, but he heard Zhao Jingming say something else.

"Secretly hiding imperial prisoners, embezzling and accepting bribes, reselling granaries, and killing imperial officials. Let me think about what other crimes you have committed?"

Zhao Jingming's gesture of stretching out his hand and counting made Lin Zhuo feel that he was giving Bi Xun a reprieve.

"Your Majesty, you are wronged, Your Majesty!" Bi Xun still wanted to fight to the death.

"You think he has a bad mind? Li Hongrui is still standing here. He says he has never done it."

Lin Zhuo and 0617 meowed softly. Could it be that he still believes that Li Hongrui can create any miracles?

"No need to quibble. I have already obtained all the evidence. I am also fully aware of the secret transactions between you and those grain merchants. When the secret guards bring the things from your mansion, I will reward you." .”

Zhao Jingming didn't know what Bi Xun was thinking because he was so bold and dared to do such a rebellious thing.

"My lord! My lord!"

"If you scream again, I will no longer be able to guarantee the safety of your wife and daughter."

Zhao Jingming's face darkened. He came here to cut through the knot with a sharp knife. One more day of delay will mean more suffering for the people.

What Bi Xun did is already a definite fact. Even if he can't produce any evidence, Zhao Jingming can cut him to pieces now without having to talk nonsense with him.

But Luo Shan's body did give Zhao Jingming a headache. Even if the city's security was relaxed, wild beasts should not be allowed to enter the city and hurt people. What's more, he secretly sent people to guard the area on the first day he came, and they were even less likely to let him. Just stay close.

Zhao Jingming felt that this matter was a bit strange. He glanced at Li Hongrui who was being escorted by secret guards, and intuitively told him that he and Li Hongrui might be related.

Hearing his wife and daughter, Bi Xun no longer struggled and shouted, but looked at Zhao Jingming with a dull expression. Then he said in a hoarse voice: "I have reconciled with my wife, and my daughter has also been removed from the genealogy. Your Majesty, this This matter has nothing to do with them, Your Majesty!"

He worked so hard just to save the lives of his wife and daughter, how could he fall short at this moment!

Zhao Jingming was not that unkind. He heard from the secret guard that Bi Xun's daughter was seriously ill, and that she had indeed been removed from the family tree. Now she had no roots and no skin, and he did not want to embarrass others.

But it's still okay to use this to blackmail Bi Xun into being honest.

"Most of the money you got from selling grain should be given to your wife and daughter. I have sent people to look for it. As long as you are honest, I will ensure their safety."

After Bi Xun heard this, he fell to the ground as if he had lost all strength. He stopped struggling and was dragged down by the secret guard like a puppet on strings.

"Okay, now let's take a look at this mysterious Master Li. From a noble son of a noble family to a wanted criminal to a fortune-telling charlatan, Li Hongrui has a very ill-fated life."

Zhao Jingming wanted to get closer to Li Hongrui as he spoke, but Lin Zhuo suddenly jumped in front of him and bared his teeth at Li Hongrui, preventing Zhao Jingming from taking another step.

The hair all over Lin Zhuo's body stood up as he stared at Li Hongrui closely. He didn't like the smell of Li Hongrui's body now.

Li Hongrui, on the other hand, had lowered his head and remained motionless since he was detained by the secret guards, as if he had fainted.

Zhao Jingming stopped when he saw Lin Zhuo's angry look. He believed that Lin Zhuo would not harm him. He waved to the secret guards escorting Li Hongrui to leave immediately.

After hearing the order, the secret guard let go of Li Hongrui, letting him fall to the ground, and then quickly retreated behind Zhao Jingming.

"I thought it was something bad that was done to me, but it turned out to be a little fox with all its fur?"

Li Hongrui lowered his head and suddenly made a high-pitched sound, his head rotated degrees, and then his whole body made a clicking sound, and then he stood up in a very strange manner.

"I really want to vomit, damn, is Li Hongrui possessed by something? It smells so disgusting!"

Lin Zhuo and Li Hongrui could smell the killing smell on him even from a certain distance.

Li Hongrui stood up, holding the white paper lantern in his hand again at some point. At this moment, his eyes had vertical pupils that resembled those of a wild beast, and the corners of his mouth were raised in an exaggerated manner. His whole face looked very scary, and he was frightened 0617 Lin Zhuo only screamed in his mind.

"I'm so scared! Has he evolved? Oh my god!"

Lin Zhuo was really speechless, and his head hurt from the noise: "Do you have a mother? You just scream?"

"Host, if you say this, I will be really sad!"

Lin Zhuo rubbed his hind feet on the ground, getting ready to go.

As a result, before Lin Zhuo was ready to pounce, Zhao Jingming quickly grabbed him back with quick eyes and hands, quickly retreated, and said in a very urgent tone: "What do you want to do? He is obviously weird and you still want to bite him?!"

Before Lin Zhuo tried to defend himself, Li Hongrui laughed first.

"Can't you tell that you two have a deep love for each other?" Li Hongrui, who was opposite him, tilted his head. Otherwise, why would the fox be so protective of Zhao Jingming? Zhao Jingming smelled so good that it made him hungry.

Li Hongrui watched Zhao Jingming stick out his tongue and lick his mouth, wondering how much energy he would gain by swallowing it.

Who the hell are you calling a servant?

Lin Zhuo stared at himself, and then kicked Zhao Jingming's body with his limbs.

Let me go, I want him to look good now!

Zhao Jingming hugged him tightly to prevent him from jumping out of his arms, then pulled out the sword from his waist and pointed it at Li Hongrui, coaxing Lin Zhuo in a low voice: "Stop moving, be careful not to hurt yourself."

"Does this little fox demon also want to hurt me?" Li Hongrui chuckled at the actions of the two of them, and waved the white lantern in his hand. The black runes on the lantern seemed to come alive and headed towards Zhao Jingming and the others.

Zhao Jingming hugged Lin Zhuo and left his position quickly, while others who were slower and failed to leave in time were immediately pinned to the spot and unable to move when touched by the rune.

"I won't play with you today. We have a long way to go." Li Hongrui didn't seem to intend to continue attacking them. After saying that, he jumped out of the yard with a lantern and left quickly.

Zhao Jingming stood on the roof and looked at his leaving figure with a solemn face. He knew that the man just now was not Li Hongrui himself, but he had evil magic in his hands. It would be even harder to catch him.

"0617, did you see it just now?"

"I saw the host! I saw it really clearly!"

The moment Li Hongrui turned around, Lin Zhuo seemed to see a very familiar pattern on his forehead. He seemed to know what was in Li Hongrui's body.
