Rebirth of Ghost Eye Shou Ye

Seeing the disappointed look of the young man in front of him, his heart skipped a beat, he picked up a piece and brought it to his mouth while holding his breath.

With chewing, the taste of stinky tofu spreads in the mouth, with a spicy taste that stimulates the taste buds.Seeing the surprise in Feng Shaojin's eyes, Ji Xiamo was delighted, quickly opened a portion, picked up a piece and stuffed it into his mouth, "How is it? Isn't it delicious?"

"I didn't expect that this stinky tofu looks so ordinary and smells so ugly, but it's so wonderful when you eat it." Feng Shaojin put the remaining half of it into his mouth and exclaimed.

"That's not true." Ji Xiamo raised her head, her face full of fear.

"Fifth son, this is not delicacies from mountains and seas. It's boring for you to eat like this." Seeing that Feng Shaojin was eating every mouthful very elegantly, Ji Xiamo poked him with his elbow, motioning him to learn from himself.

Seeing Ji Xiamo pick up a large piece and open his mouth wide, Feng Shaojin froze for a moment, then laughed loudly with obvious joy on his face.Like Ji Xiamo, she picked up a piece of stinky tofu and stuffed it whole into her mouth.

"That's right." Ji Xiamo smiled meanly.

Ji Xiamo and Feng Shaojin were born with good looks and extraordinary clothes, but now the two of them are walking on the street with a bag of stinky tofu in their hands, and the food they eat is particularly indecent, causing passers-by to flock frequently Look back.

Ji Xiamo, who had completely whetted his appetite with a few servings of stinky tofu, happily took Feng Shaojin to sweep all the way, as long as it was edible, whether it was eaten or not, Ji Xiamo would buy it Try two servings, and along the way, the two of them have already bulged their stomachs.

Feng Shaojin had also seen Ji Xiamo's unfathomable stomach. Looking at Ji Xiamo's thin and small body, Feng Shaojin couldn't figure out where he put so many things.

"Qingmu, where is that?" Ji Xiamo held a bunch of candied gourds in his mouth, and handed a bag of candied chestnuts to Feng Shaojin beside him, pointing to a small shop called 'Ruyu' in front of him with his chin raised .

Aoki followed Ji Xiamo's line of sight, and suddenly said, "Master, that's a jade shop."

"Jade shop?" Ji Xiamo spat out two hawthorn seeds, as if thinking of something, turned to look at Feng Shaojin, "Let's go inside and have a look."

"You want to buy something?"

"Let's see if there is anything pleasing to the eye." Ji Xiamo handed the candied haws in his hand to Aoki, and entered the shop muttering.

"What do you guys want to see?" After entering the shop, a middle-aged man greeted them, glanced at their clothes, and bowed respectfully.

"Tsk, the color isn't very good." Ji Xiamo glanced inside the shop, shaking his head with an inscrutable look, and the middle-aged man was taken aback for a while.

"Small business, small business." The middle-aged man followed behind Ji Xiamo and laughed.

"Young Master." Aoki stepped forward and glanced at the middle-aged man, feeling a little dissatisfied. "Isn't there a lot of jade in the mansion? And when I entered the palace a few days ago, there were quite a few of the rewards from the emperor, so why go out and buy them?"

In the palace?The middle-aged man's legs trembled and he almost knelt on the ground, and he followed behind Ji Xiamo even more arrogantly, not daring to speak out.

"Know what?" Ji Xiamo glanced at Aoki, and the bone fan in his hand knocked on Aoki's head. "It was rewarded by the emperor, and it cannot be given away or sold."

"Even if you dare to sell it, no one will dare to accept it." Feng Shaojin smiled. "If you really want jade, there are many good ones in my house, you can pick some to play with."

"No need, I don't feel at ease holding things that are too expensive." Ji Xiamo scanned around, and finally stopped before a sword pendant.

"Show me this." Ji Xiamo motioned.

The color is a bit like green and white jade, the jade is fan-shaped, with six jade beads tied on top, and blue tassels falling down, the overall look is elegant but calm, very similar to a person.

Ji Xiamo held the sword pendant and thought in his heart, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitched upwards.

Looking at Ji Xiamo's breath that seemed to warm up in an instant, Feng Shaojin raised his eyebrows, and a gleam of interest flashed in his eyes.

"That's all, how much is it?" After finalizing the decision, Ji Xiamo looked up at the shop owner.

"Uh..." The shop owner was stunned for a while, and hemotherly stretched out three fingers. "Three... 300 taels."

"300 taels?" Ji Xiamo narrowed her eyes, her tone was different, as if dissatisfied.

"My lord." The shop owner made a bitter face. "Look at the color and texture of this jade. This is a rare top-grade jade in a small store. 300 taels is already the lowest price."

"100 taels, and help me engrave a few words on the jade." Ji Xiamo smiled, with a sly look in his eyes, and threw the sword pendant to the shop owner.

"One... 100 taels?" The shop owner was a little silly.

"100 taels, the same price." Ji Xiamo shook her finger with a firm attitude.

The shop owner had a lump of blood in his throat. Although he was very distressed, he was afraid of Ji Xiamo's identity, fearing trouble and disaster, so he had no choice but to swallow this dumb loss.

"Yes, I don't know what characters you want to engrave?"

Ji Xiamo stroked her chin and thought for a while, then leaned over and whispered something in the shop owner's ear. The shop owner understood and turned back to the inner room.

"Your majestic son of the prime minister's mansion is not short of this little money, why bother to bully others for a few taels of silver?" Feng Shaojin sat on a chair beside him, looked at Ji Xiamo and said.

"You are a prince. You don't know the hardships of us 'grassmen'. I'm so poor that I'm almost going to hang out with the handsome man. Besides, don't they all say that I, Ji Xiamo, am an idiot, a playboy? Of course I have to worthy of the title."

"Marshal?" Feng Shaojin was puzzled.

"It's the big black dog raised by the back kitchen of our prime minister's mansion." Aoki explained

"..." Feng Shaojin

Ji Xiamo was wandering in the shop boredly. Suddenly, his eyes stopped, and his eyes stopped on a gray wooden box in the corner.

The palms were slightly warm, and Ji Xiamo was puzzled. He stepped forward and pulled the wooden box out of the corner.It seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time. The wooden box is covered with thick dust. Inside the box is a string of jade bells, woven with red silk thread. There are three bells, white as human bones, with bloodshot eyes hidden. Why is there a shallow slit, as if it was broken.

Looking at the bell, Ji Xiamo's palm became hotter and hotter, with a hidden scorching heat. At the same time, his heart was also restless.

As if bewitched by something in his heart, Ji Xiamo stretched out slowly, and lightly touched the bell with his fingertips. A bone-piercing chill instantly spread throughout his body along his fingertips, making Ji Xiamo shiver uncontrollably. Cold to the bone.

Suddenly, Ji Xiamo felt a pain in his fingertips, took a light breath, and suddenly withdrew his hand.A drop of scarlet blood was lowered above the bell, and it was particularly eye-catching on the jade bell as white as a human bone.

'Why is it bleeding again. ' Ji Xiamo grunted softly, and put his fingers in his mouth.

"My lord." The shopkeeper came out from the inner room, offering the sword pendant with both hands. "The words have been engraved, I don't know if you are satisfied."

"If I say I'm not satisfied, boss, will you give me another one?" Ji Xiamo recovered and didn't bother with the bell, turned around and took the sword pendant and said with a smile.

"Ah?" The shopkeeper was taken aback, and smiled awkwardly.

"Just kidding, why do you have no sense of humor?" Ji Xiamo patted the shop owner on the shoulder, smiling meanly. "Aoki, pay the bill!"

"Yes!"

"Boss, thank you very much for today." Ji Xiamo smiled, put the sword pendant in his arms, and turned to leave.

"My lord, go slowly." As a result, the banknote, the shop owner's heart was bleeding, but he had to give it away with a smile.

"What words did you engrave on the pendant?"

"This one? Keep it secret."

"Could it be a girl from some family?"

"My lord, your sister will hear this, are you sure she won't tear me apart?"

"..." Feng Shaojin

No one saw it. Just after Ji Xiamo left, the bell that was originally covered with thick dust suddenly gave off a faint red light, and the drop of blood on the bell disappeared without a trace in an instant.

The bells were still the same string of bells, and the box was still the same box, but those thin cracks disappeared without a trace, and the three bells were intact.

White as human bones, red as fresh blood, with a faint charm.

[Text No.20 Episode [-]: Brothers Settle Accounts Clearly]

The sky was getting dark, and Ji Xiamo and Feng Shaojin were both a little tired after running for a day. Feng Shaojin's palace was far away and they couldn't stay longer, so they said goodbye together on the street.

"Hey, Young Master Ji." Feng Shaojin, who was about to board the carriage, suddenly paused, as if thinking of something, he called out to Ji Xiamo.

"What is the Fifth Prince's order?" Ji Xiamo turned around and clasped his hands together.

"In the mansion of Master Wailang Pan, a sixth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, more than [-] people were buried in the sea of ​​fire the day before yesterday. Has Mr. Ji heard about this?"

Ji Xiamo pointed his finger at the corner of his mouth, turned his head around and shook his head, "Caomin didn't hear about this matter, I don't know why the Fifth Prince mentioned it."

Feng Shaojin frowned slightly, and jumped off the carriage. "According to the records of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Mrs. Pan's family caused a fire when the candlelight was overturned at night, and the whole family was buried in it."

"Is there no servant who watches the night in a house?"

"I heard that on Master Pan's birthday that night, he rewarded the servants in the mansion with a few jars of wine. Because they were drunk after drinking, no one was able to escape, and they all died in the sea of ​​fire in their sleep."

"No one survived?"

"Four people survived, the old housekeeper of Pan's house, the dumb woman in the kitchen, and the other two are Master Pan's eldest son, Pan Zilong, and his school boy."

"My lord seems to be very concerned about this matter?"

"This king once had a relationship with this Pan Zilong, and he admired him very much. He was also shocked to hear that this happened to the Pan family. And..." Feng Shaojin pondered for a moment, his voice lowered a little. "As far as this king knows, Mr. Pan has never drunk a drop of alcohol."

The corners of Lian Qi Guang's brows twitched slightly, his eyes sank, and the cynicism at the corners of his mouth faded away. "The prince means that there is something else hidden in this matter?"

"That's right." Feng Shaojin nodded, and said with a serious face. "If there is really something hidden about this, and it cannot be revealed to the world, more than 30 people have died, and there is so much resentment, this may become a big unjust case."

Seeing Feng Shaojin's solemn expression, Ji Xiamo grinned. "The matter of investigating the case is a matter of the Ministry of Criminal Justice. What did the prince tell Cao Min?"

"This is just my king's guess, I don't know if it is so, and..." Feng Shaojin snorted coldly, glaring and frowning. "Waiting for them to close the case, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it in my life."

"But even if the prince tells the grass people, the grass people can't do anything about it."

"Ji Xiamo." Feng Shaojin glanced at Ji Xiamo who was out of shape. "My king once heard that you solved a three-person murder case within three days, so I know you have some skills."

"Hehe... Caomin is really a little embarrassed for the prince to praise so highly."

"Don't be poor with me!" Feng Shaojin stretched out his hand and flicked Ji Xiamo's forehead and scolded with a smile. "Ji Xiamo, if you can help me solve this case and let the truth be revealed to the world, I will be grateful to you. As long as you don't touch my bottom line and don't harm the morality of the country, I will accept your request."

Ji Xiamo's eyes lit up, and he immediately regained his energy, "If it's really like the file of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, is it just an accident this time?"

"This commitment remains unchanged."

"My lord, if you change your words, who knows where you will be abducted tomorrow?"

"did you mean?"

"Brothers settle accounts clearly, and no one will be confused in the end."

Looking at Ji Xiamo's natural appearance, Young Master Feng was amused, "Hey! Ji Xiamo, don't go too far!"

"My lord, the grassroots are cowardly and stupid, and they don't do their job properly. I'm afraid I have betrayed my lord's trust. Let me leave." Ji Xiamo folded her arms, turned around and left quickly.

"stop!"

"My lord~~~" Ji Xiamo made a sharp turn and floated back, grinning, resolutely carrying out her shamelessness and shamelessness to the end. "You still have something to do? It's okay, Caomin, it's time to go home."

Looking at Ji Xiamo's humble appearance, Feng Shaojin was filled with helplessness, which turned into a joke. "Come here! Fetch paper and ink."

The guard behind Feng Shaojin offered a pen and paper, within a moment, Feng Shaojin put down the pen, took out the seal that he carried with him, and printed it on it.

"Here!" Feng Shaojin handed the paper to Ji Xiamo, and Ji Xiamo took it swayingly, looking at it happily, another life-saving treasure was obtained.

"Since the king's promise has been made, when will you help me solve the case?"

"This matter is not in a hurry. Tomorrow, I would like to ask the prince to take Caomin to Pan's Mansion to have a look. What is going on with the case, Caomin needs to conduct an on-site investigation before making a decision."

"Okay, tomorrow morning, I will send someone to pick you up at the prime minister's mansion." After Feng Shaojin finished speaking, he turned and got into the carriage.

"Thank you, my lord." Ji Xiamo cupped her fists and shouted loudly in the direction the carriage was leaving. "Grass people send off the king~~ Lord~~~~"

Waiting until the carriage was out of sight, Ji Xiamo withdrew his hand, the smile on his face disappeared and slowly sank.In any case, the mansion of a dignified sixth-rank court official burned down in a big fire but no one found it. This alone makes no sense at all.

It seems that trouble is coming again.

"Young master." Aoki who was standing in the distance surrounded him, looking at the direction where Feng Shaojin was leaving with a puzzled look on his face. "What did Mr. Wu tell you just now?"

"He said that I'm handsome, kind-hearted, smart and witty, the best in the world, unmatched by anyone." Ji Xiamo opened the bone fan, and walked back leisurely.

"Hey, son." Aoki chased after him. "The servant saw that Mr. Wu's eyes were tight. I don't know which family he is from?"

"You know, Feng's surname is Royal."

'Feng surname?Royal... home? 'Aoki's feet stopped.What's the meaning?

phoenix?Emperor?Could it be...

Aoki's face turned pale, his legs were weak, and he was trembling. "Wang... lord..."

"Young master!! My lord!!"

Hearing Aoki's screams behind him, Ji Xiamo shook his head, he could be cured if he was sick, but his head was missing, but he couldn't find anything to put it in.

(Prime Minister's Mansion)

"What is this?" Ji Xiamo looked at the red post in his hand, and looked at Ji Ye suspiciously.

"It was sent by General Qin from the General's Mansion. Tomorrow he set up a banquet in the mansion and invited me to have a gathering with you two." Ji Ye waved the hot tea in his hand and explained calmly.

"Tomorrow?" Ji Xiamo touched his chin and smacked his lips. "It's really catching up. It's really not going to work tomorrow. You can go by yourself and apologize to General Qin for me."

"What do you want tomorrow?"

"I have made an appointment with the fifth prince today, and he will send someone to pick me up tomorrow."

"Fifth Prince?" Ji Ye paused slightly while drinking tea. "Why did you get involved with the fifth prince? What did he want you for?"

"Didn't Mr. Pan, the sixth-rank member of the Ministry of Industry, die the day before yesterday?"

"I have also heard about this, but it is said that he died accidentally because he knocked over the candle."

"It's not that simple." Ji Xiamo shook her head and said lightly. "The fifth prince also suspects that there is something hidden in this matter, so he asked me to go and investigate with him tomorrow."

"You mean, Lord Pan's death was not an accident, but..." Ji Ye's face darkened. If this is the case, more than 30 people died, and it happened in the imperial city at the foot of the emperor, that would be terrible. It's complicated.

"It's not sure yet, but it's not far from ten."

"Since we have made an agreement with the fifth prince, I will help you go back to General Qin. Let Wuji follow you tomorrow. Be careful in everything and don't force yourself."

"Well, I know, I cherish this little life very much."

"Don't break the rules and cause trouble in front of the prince. If you anger the prince, be careful of your little life."

"Yes, yes, yes! I get it, I get it..." Hearing Ji Ye nagging in his ear, Ji Xia Mo lay on the table, holding his chin and answering each sentence, feeling extremely bored.

After listening to Ji Ye's nagging instructions for a long time, it was completely dark when Ji Xiamo returned to the plum garden.

Looking at the empty and quiet plum garden, Ji Xiamo yawned and rubbed his sore eyes.

"Brother Jin, are you there?"

A black shadow descended from the sky and landed in front of Ji Xiamo silently.

"Brother Jin, did you hear what the old man said just now? I'll leave it to you tomorrow." Looking at Jin Wuji in front of him, Ji Xiamo cracked a big smile.

"En." Jin Wuji responded in a low voice, looking at the tired Ji Xiamo with a pair of calm black eyes, paused for a long time, then spoke in a silent voice. "take a break."

"Okay." Ji Xiamo nodded, just took two steps forward, suddenly seemed to think of something, turned back again, reached into his arms, and fumbled for a long time to take out the sword pendant he bought.

"Brother Jin, I bought this for you today." Ji Xiamo shook the sword pendant in his hand, smiling triumphantly. "Surprise?"

Looking at Ji Xiamo's crooked eyes smiling, Jin Wuji's eyes flickered slightly, and he remained silent.

"Come on, Brother Jin, I'll bring it for you." After that, Ji Xiamo stepped forward and took the sword in Jin Wuji's hand, regardless of Jin Wuji's willingness or not. "Last time, I thought your sword was empty. Look, wouldn't it look much better with a sword pendant on it?"

Ji Xiamo flicked the pendant, and waved his paw at Jin Wuji with a smile. "I'm going to sleep, Brother Jin, you should rest too, I guess I'll have to run all day tomorrow."

Looking at Ji Xiamo's back, Jin Wuji was silent for a long time, and slowly raised the sword to his face, holding the fan-shaped sword pendant with one hand.

The fan-shaped jade pendant is exquisite in workmanship, and the jade is warm and moist.There are six jade beads on the jade pendant, with blue tassels falling down, elegant and quiet.The fan-shaped jade pendant has two sides, one side is engraved with the word Jin Mo, and the other side is engraved with four small handwritings.

'My Brother Jin'

The heart seemed to be hit by something sharp at this moment, and instead, it melted into a piece of softness.

In the middle of the night, the world was shrouded in a silent darkness, and the pale moonlight fell on the earth, bringing with it a bleak and icy coldness.

On a pavilion, a white shadow stood in the corner, petite, like a thirteen or fourteen-year-old doll.The large white robe rolled up in the wind, whistling.

Three thousand knee-length black hair fluttered in the wind, hiding her face, and her scarlet lips reflected a pale chin without a trace of blood, which was shocking.

A string of bells is tied around the waist, and three bone jades are as white as human bones, implying blood streaks that have been eroded into the bones.In the strong wind, there was a crisp sound of 'jingle bell'.

"Ji-Xia-Mo-"

[Text No.20 Nine episodes are not an accident]

The next day, Ji Xiamo got up early, changed into simple casual clothes, had breakfast, and took Jin Wuji out of the Prime Minister's Mansion.Aoki is timid and afraid of ghosts, so he must see blood when he goes to Pan's mansion this time, so Ji Xiamo keeps him in the mansion because he is afraid of making noise.

After leaving the prime minister's mansion, people from Feng Shaojin's sect were already waiting outside. Besides, there was another person leaning on the stone lion outside the mansion with arms folded, with an impatient expression on his face.

"Tsk! Qin Xiaoyan? What brought you here? No wonder I had a nightmare last night, my lord." Xia Mo was also a little surprised to see Qin Yanji, but then returned to her usual playful smile The two brothers hugged Qin Yan's shoulders nicely.

Glancing at the hand on Qin Yan's shoulder, Jin Wuji frowned indistinctly, and the air pressure on his body dropped a little.

"Ji Xiamo! My father invited you to my house for dinner, why don't you go?" Qin Yan shook off Ji Xiamo's hand, staring at Ji Xiamo with his nostrils upturned.

"Just for this?" Ji Xiamo knocked on the fan, looking at Qin Yan with a half-smile.

"You, what do you mean!" Qin Yan felt uncomfortable being watched by Ji Xiamo, his face flushed a little, and he stuttered a little.

"I'm happy to go to your house to eat for free, but who made my young master extremely intelligent and popular, no, the fifth prince also said that he would invite me to dinner. I can't refuse the favor of the prince, right?"

"Ji Xiamo! Don't fool me! You are here to investigate the case today!" Seeing Ji Xiamo's shameless nonsense, Qin Yan glared.

"Qin Xiaoyan, it seems that you know a lot about my itinerary today."

Seeing Ji Xiamo's half-smile face, Qin Yan's heart thumped, and he felt something was wrong, and accidentally slipped his mouth.

"Brother Jin, let's go." Although it's fun to tease Qin Yan, but seeing that the time is running out, Ji Xiamo turned around to signal Jin Wuji behind him, turned over and jumped into the carriage.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Yan came back to his senses and saw that the carriage was about to leave, so he quickly chased after him, jumped onto the carriage with a loud voice, and got into the carriage.

"I said Qin Xiaoyan, you belong to plaster!" Ji Xiamo, who had just peeled an orange and coaxed it into Jin Wuji's mouth, looked at Qin Yan somewhat unkindly.

"I want to follow you!" Qin Yan raised his chin and looked at Ji Xiamo arrogantly. "Your father has already accepted the post, who made you break the appointment!"

Ji Xiamo was too lazy to talk nonsense with Qin Yan, so he gave him the back of the head and motioned to Jin Wuji. "Brother Jin, give him to me and throw him out."

Jin Wuji, who had disliked Qin Yan for a long time, heard Ji Xiamo say this, and went forward with a cold face, and grabbed Qin Yan's back collar with one hand and was about to pull it out.

"Ji Xiamo! Are you a brother? The attack is so dark!" Qin Yan, who was far less powerful than Jin Wuji, hugged the threshold of the carriage and refused to let go. He yelled, attracting countless strange eyes from both sides of the street.

Ji Xiamo raised his chin to signal Jin Wuji to let him go, and rubbed the corners of his brows with some headaches. "I said Qin Xiaoyan, who did you learn your shameless virtue from!"

"Ji Xiamo, anyway, you will take me with you today."

"Oh? Threatening me?" Ji Xiamo narrowed his eyes, handed the peeled orange to Jin Wuji, and grinned meanly, "Brother Jin, eat an orange to moisten your throat."

Turning to look at Qin Yan who was holding on to the threshold, his face sank again.

"Tell me, Qin Xiaoyan, what are you looking for me for?"

Qin Yan glanced at Jin Wuji, who was sitting upright, as cold as ice, and slowly shifted his gaze to Ji Xiamo, pursing his mouth unwillingly. "It's my father. He asked me to follow you to investigate the case and protect your safety."

"Go back and thank Uncle Qin for me, but I have brother Jin's town house, the big ghosts and little ghosts are only bullied by me, you go back." Ji Xiamo hugged Jin Wuji and showed off with a look of shame.

Jin Wuji glanced at Ji Xiamo, twitched the corner of his mouth, and at the same time looked at Qin Yan who was stern and frowned again, and the air-conditioning on his body continued to increase.

"Ji Xiamo, you let me die!" Qin Ershao, who had always been pampered and held up as an offering, was furious seeing Ji Xiamo's reckless appearance.

"I can't die, but it's an eyesore." He opened his mouth and picked up the orange in Jin Wuji's hand, feeling happy in his heart.Brother Jin feeds oranges that are sweet.

"You!" Qin Yan choked.

"Brother Jin, tell the people outside to drive the car to the General's Mansion, and let's take Uncle Qin home first."

"Ji Xiamo!" Thinking of Qin Zhaoqin's six-foot-long stick, Qin Yan couldn't help shivering, and blocked the car door tightly with all his hands and feet.

"I, my father said let me follow you to protect your safety, and learn from you by the way." Qin Yan, who couldn't get along, shook his head and explained everything. "My father also said that if I run back by myself, my legs will be broken."

Ji Xiamo glanced at Qin Yan, and seeing that what he said didn't seem to be a lie, he didn't bother to toss about it any longer. His whole body seemed to be boneless, and he lay on Jin Wuji's body listlessly.

"Ji Xiamo, although our relationship isn't very good, it's not bad, is it? You can't just ignore death. Besides, I'm not bad at martial arts. Who knows if there will be something wrong when you investigate the case?" What an accident, I'm by your side..."

"Qin Xiaoyan." Annoyed by Qin Yan's noise, Ji Xiamo lay on Jin Wuji's body, closed his eyes and pointed a finger at Qin Yan. "If you say another word before you get there, I'll throw you out immediately."

Qin Yan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed, did he agree?Just as Qin Yan wanted to make a declaration of gratitude, Jin Wuji's cold eyes swept over him, and he held back abruptly.He hung his head and didn't dare to make another sound, for fear that he would really throw him out.

The carriage drove for about an hour and arrived at the destination. Jin Wuji jumped out of the carriage first, turned around and reached out to catch Ji Xiamo.

Ji Xiamo let go of Jin Wuji's hand, stepped forward and squinted at the ruins in front of him.Although the mansion has collapsed and the pillars are scorched black, it is not difficult to see the prosperity of the original family.

Although the house had been burned for three days, the air was still filled with a strong and pungent smell.Many people died in this fire, so there were not many people on the surrounding streets.For fear of getting bad luck, most people would rather walk around a few steps rather than pass through the mansion.

"Tch! What's the smell?" Qin Yan walked up to Ji Xiamo and covered his nose with disgust.

"The smell of corpse oil, don't forget that more than 30 people died in this house." Ji Xiamo glanced at Qin Yan, and saw Qin Yan's pale face suddenly with satisfaction.

Ji Xiamo sneered, shook his head and walked forward.

Ji Xiamo was not in a hurry to enter, but walked around the mansion.After carefully observing the surroundings of the mansion, Ji Xiamo frowned slightly.

Ji Xiamo walked to a collapsed place and squatted down, reached out and took a handful of soil from the ground, squeezed it in his hand, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it.

Looking at the soil in his hands, Ji Xiamo thought for a while, then picked up a piece of burnt wood from the side and put it in front of his nose.After contemplating for a long time, Ji Xiamo dropped the burnt wood in his hand and stood up, with a flash of clarity in his eyes.

"What did you find?" Jin Wuji walked up to Ji Xiamo and handed over a handkerchief.

"I still need to go inside to make sure, but if there is no accident, there is a tenth chance that the fire was deliberately caused by someone."

"You mean, it wasn't an accident, but a homicide?" Qin Yan came over and said in amazement.

Ji Xiamo nodded, turned around and walked towards the mansion. "Let's go and have a look inside."

When Ji Xiamo and the others were just about to enter, they heard a horse cry, and a carriage slowly drove up and stopped outside Pan's residence.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Feng Shaojin jumped out of the carriage and walked towards Ji Xiamo. "Master Ji."

"Fifth Prince." The three clasped their fists together.

"These two are..."

"Qin Yan of the General's Mansion, he is my bodyguard, Jin Wuji." Ji Xiamo made a simple and clear introduction, and his slightly raised eyebrows made his expression look more serious than the usual foolishness.

"What? Did you find anything?"

"I have some thoughts, but I still need to go inside and have a look." Ji Xiamo pondered over the doubts just now.

"In that case, let's go and check inside." Hearing what Ji Xiamo said, Feng Shaojin walked towards the mansion without saying a word.

Ji Xiamo nodded at Jin Wuji and followed.

Entering the mansion, one glanced at the ruined walls, full of desolation.A fire burned away the prosperity and prosperity of the past, and all the glory and wealth were turned into ashes with this fire and buried in a piece of loess.

After entering the mansion, Ji Xiamo ignored the three people beside him and walked ahead, frowning and looking at the dilapidated surroundings, his doubts deepened.

Ji Xiamo squatted down, grabbed a handful of ash charcoal from the ground, rubbed it, and put it in front of his nose. After a moment of contemplation, Ji Xiamo got up and changed several places in a row, carefully inspecting the burnt charcoal. Some heavy colors.

Ji Xiamo threw away the charcoal in his hand, shuttled through the huge mansion, looked at the dilapidated houses one by one, and restored the former appearance in his heart.

Feng Shaojin followed Ji Xiamo, watching him frowning as he went in and out of the burned rooms, squatting down to check from time to time, feeling confused, but afraid of interrupting Ji Xiamo's thinking , I can only hold back and not ask.

It was almost an hour, and Ji Xiamo walked out of the last room, came to the backyard, and sat on the ground by the barely clean pool, resting his chin with both hands, silent.

Feng Shaojin walked up to Ji Xiamo and squatted down, asking suspiciously, "How is it? What did you find?"

"Should be sure." Ji Xiamo bit her finger and looked at the messy ground, thinking. "This fire was not an accident, it was a deliberate murder."

"What!!" Although he had been skeptical in his heart, after getting the answer, Feng Shaojin still couldn't accept it.

Qin Yan came over and sat down with Ji Xiamo, "How did you know? What's the evidence?"

"Just outside the mansion, I carefully checked the surrounding area. Take a look, such a big mansion has been burned into ruins. You can imagine how big the fire is."

"But I don't know if you have noticed. There are people living on all sides of this mansion, and the furthest one is only twenty feet away, but none of them were affected. The worst thing is that the walls were smoked because of the proximity."

"Aren't you surprised that such a big fire only reduced Pan's residence to ashes?"

Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan looked at each other and nodded. "It is indeed strange."

"And I found another interesting thing." Ji Xiamo took out a few uneven pieces of oil paper from his bosom, and it was not difficult to see that it had been burned by the blackened edges.

"The window paper in several houses is made of oiled paper. Everyone knows that oiled paper can withstand high temperatures and is difficult to burn. Even if it is really burned, it will leave obvious marks. But I checked it. Several windows were burnt clean."

"what do you mean?"

"This fire was deliberately lit." Ji Xiamo put down the oil paper, bent down and grabbed a handful of soil from the ground, and raised his head to signal Jin Wuji, "Brother Jin, help me find a basin of water."

Jin Wuji nodded slightly, turned and left.

Ji Xiamo looked at Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan, and smiled inscrutablely, "Do you want to know why the fire burned down the entire mansion but did not harm the people around?"

"why?"

"Heh...you will know soon."

Jin Wuji went as fast as he came back, Ji Xiamo got up and walked towards Jin Wuji, took a basin of water from Jin Wuji's hand and put it on the ground, turned around and walked to the ruins, picked up a piece of charcoal, and swept it away. Three people at a glance.

"You see clearly."

As Ji Xiamo said, he slowly put the charcoal in his hand into the water.The charcoal sinks and rises in the water, floating erratically.Several pairs of eyes stared straight at the charcoal in the water basin, not missing any changes.

After a while, seeing the originally clear water gradually covered with a thin layer of oil stains, Feng Shaojin and Qin Yan opened their eyes wide.

"This is……"

"Oil!" Ji Xiamo sneered. "And it's flammable kerosene. The reason why the fire in Pan's mansion didn't go out without harming the surrounding people is because a lot of kerosene was poured on the mansion."

"Who the hell is it!" Feng Shaojin said angrily. "In the imperial city, at the feet of the emperor, who on earth dares to be so daring and cruel to the court officials?"

"Now I can only see so much." Ji Xiamo shrugged, walked up to Jin Wuji and stretched out his hands obediently, asking Jin Wuji to wipe his hands. "Who is the murderer? This will be handed over to the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Master Ji wants to sell the stall?" Feng Shaojin narrowed his eyes.

"My lord, Caomin has already found out that this is artificial for you, what do you want Caomin to do?" Ji Xiamo lazily leaned on Jin Wuji's body with her arms folded. "The one who was killed was an official of the imperial court. 37 lives were lost. I'm just an ordinary citizen. I can't bear it."

"Give me less!" Feng Shaojin waved a token and threw it at him, Jin Wuji caught it steadily, and handed it to Ji Xiamo indifferently.

"This is my king's token. If you see the token, you can use it if you see me. You can investigate this case freely. If someone obstructs you, you can let him come to me and say it." Feng Shaojin Solemnly.

"I will immediately go to the palace to inform my father about this matter, and I will plead for your life. With this king as your backing, no one dares to touch you."

"Yes~~~" The ending sound was drawn out, and the mouth curled up reluctantly.

"Come on." Unaccustomed to Ji Xiamo's appearance, Feng Shaojin felt helpless. "If you can solve this case, I will keep my promise before, and I will ask Father for a reward for you. Afterwards, how about I invite you to drink on the first floor again."

"This is so embarrassing! Thank you, my lord!" Ji Xiamo grinned, and instantly became refreshed.

"What are you going to do next?"

"
