Li Zhen got off his horse in front of Duke Jing's mansion, handed the whip to the waiter, and entered the door. At the screen wall in front of the second door, he found his grandfather and the housekeeper talking about something. He called out: "Grandpa grown ups."

The old man turned his head when he heard the sound, and said straight to the point: "Why are you alone?" His hair and beard were gray, but his face was rosy. It could be seen that he had laid a good foundation in martial arts in his early years, and his body was not broken when he was old.

"Shouldn't I be alone, who else is there?" Li Zhen glanced at the butler, and guessed that this guy leaked the news.

The butler shrank his neck and apologized

The old Guogong said: "You asked the housekeeper to clean up the house and said that there was a guest coming to live. Why didn't you see this guest? Don't hide it, bring it here and let your grandfather have a look. I have never seen you bring a friend home, which hurt me. I always thought you had no friends, haha."

Li Zhen said: "He's not coming. I'm tired and I'm going to rest. You should go back to the house earlier. It's cool at night." After speaking, he strode forward.

It's also because of his good hearing, so I heard his grandfather sigh with the housekeeper, "It seems that he broke up with him, and he stopped coming. That's right, he doesn't seem to be very popular."

You just say that about your grandson?Li Zhen took a deep breath and was about to turn around and say, "I heard everything you said."

He heard his grandfather continue to sigh: "This is not like his father. His father had many friends back then, although they were all friends."

Li Zhen's heart trembled, and he quickened his pace and walked forward.

He has never met his father. It is said that he is a reckless swinger. One year, he couldn't see the person when he was born, and he couldn't see the dead body when he died. When he came back again, he held a baby in his arms, saying that it was his son, and he didn't say who the mother was.

He left the baby boy at home and went out again the next day, this time missing completely until now.

He searched everywhere he could. One of the reasons why Li Zhen entered Jinyiwei to find his father's whereabouts was also one of the reasons.

But even if he did what he did and used Jin Yiwei's power, there was still no news of his father.

Until he knew the existence of Hell Well... he could see the affairs of the world, so as long as he wanted to, he would be able to see his father's whereabouts.

After a while, he will bring Song Yingbai and other cronies to that mysterious place.

Not only did he want to peek at the future national fortune, but he also wanted to see his father's whereabouts.

Thinking of Song Yingbai, Li Zhen couldn't help being "annoyed".

I don't know where he lives tonight...

Hmph, how could he still live on the streets like a big man!

-

Song Yingbai was running on the street at this time, holding the dog leash in his hand, and ran to the Jinyiwei yamen in one breath.

Now that he is a celebrity, the captain standing guard in front of the gate recognized him, and after saluting him, he saw him leading a dog, "Master Song, this dog is..."

Song Yingbai smiled: "Snack."

The white dog couldn't help being startled, his limbs stiffened immediately.

The captain standing guard was taken aback for a moment, then laughed at each other and said, "Your Excellency really likes to joke, hahaha."

"Of course I was joking. I came out for a walk with the dog, and suddenly thought that something was left behind, so I stopped by to pick it up, so I'll go in first." Song Yingbai laughed, and walked in with the white dog.

When walking towards the office, Song Yingbai said to the vigilant white dog, "Don't worry, I don't eat dog meat."

The white dog listened and rolled his eyes.

He took the key and opened the door, and saw the stone box on the table by the moonlight. He believed that the dog's eyesight should be better, so he pointed to the stone box and said, "That's the one. Go smell it and find its owner." , I will give you the antidote."

The white dog walked up to the table, raised its two front legs and put them on the table, stretched its neck to sniff the stone box, its dark and wet nose moved, then put down its front legs, sniffing all the way out, Song Yingbai quickly followed.

"My lord, have you finished picking up your things?"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, see you later." Song Yingbai greeted with a smile, and followed the white dog away.

Looking at his back, one of the captains guarding the gate whispered: "It seems that he has a good temper, not like some people with backgrounds who are so arrogant."

-

At a large intersection on Main Street, the white dog stopped, sniffing east and west.

Song Yingbai immediately said: "Go to the direction with the freshest and strongest smell."

The dog walked eastward, Song Yingbai's expression was solemn, which meant that Ma Yongyan turned back to the city after leaving the city to Yizhuang, but he was not surprised, he considered this possibility.

The dog played very steadily and did not lose its clues. It led Song Yingbai all the way to an alley, where all the normal houses were seen at a glance.

Ma Yongyan is hiding here?He clenched the Xiuchun knife that he was equipped with, ready to deal with emergencies.

Arriving at the entrance of a small courtyard with willow trees planted at the entrance, the white dog sat down on the ground and poked its mouth into the courtyard angrily, as if saying that people were inside.

Song Yingbai lowered his voice to the lowest level, "In the main room, the east room or the west room? Can you tell me clearly? By the way, you don't seem to be able to speak, you can only make human-like humming noises."

Obviously feeling that the white dog was very upset, he bared his teeth, but probably considering the antidote in Song Yingbai's hand, he let out a long breath, and then showed an open-minded look of "I don't care about the bastard", raised his right front paw and pointed Point to the location of the East Wing, and lie down on the spot.

"If you dare to lie to me, you will die." Song Yingbai put down a sentence, leaned lightly on the top of the wall, and looked inside. There was no dog. The lights in the main room and the east and west rooms were all turned off. It seemed that the whole family had fallen asleep.

With the lightest movement, he climbed over the courtyard wall and landed on the ground. He tiptoed to the window of the east wing, held his breath, and listened carefully.

Sure enough, he heard voices inside, although it was very low, but because it was hot and windless tonight, and there was no noise around, he could barely hear the conversation inside.

"It's too awkward to talk like this, let's light a candle." It was a man who spoke, not Ma Yongyan, but Song Yingbai seemed to have heard the voice somewhere.

"Don't click, I'll leave after a few words with you." This time it was Ma Yongyan who spoke, and Song Yingbai suddenly became nervous. He really didn't die. Could it be that he made a mistake in his judgment?

Or will he be able to come back from the dead with sorcery?

"Then tell me... I've been bedridden for the past few days to recuperate and didn't go to school... But yesterday I heard from Liu Yuchun that your house seems...you too..."

When Liu Yuchun was mentioned, Song Yingbai suddenly remembered that the voice was Li Jia, the one who borrowed money from Liu Yuchun to pay for it in the Jiaofang Division.

"There were indeed some accidents in my family, so I came to you quietly. As for my own rumors, they are not true. I am not dead. I just learned a method of cheating death from others. I fooled the Jinyiwei people and escaped temporarily. Just drop it, but they will keep chasing me... I don't know if I can escape..."

"Then, if you come to me, I can't help you. I met Jin Yiwei who lived with Liu Yuchun once, and he was very fierce." It was obvious that Li Jia was a little timid.

"I won't hurt you, I just want you to do me a favor, I know you love Miss Du of the Jiaofang Division, and you need money to redeem her, I have some cash and bank notes here, which have been hidden elsewhere. It was confiscated by Jin Yiwei. Don't worry, the bank notes will never be found on our Ma family, so don't worry about using them."

"...I...I...would like to accept it...but I don't think you will send me the money..."

"I would like to ask you to do me a favor. I will give Ms. Du the money to redeem her body as a reward. Our family suffered this time, and the female relatives are the most innocent. Although my mother is domineering and dull, she has not done anything bad..." Ma Yongyan choked up: "...They may not be punished by the Jiaofang Division, but they cannot escape being sold into slavery by the government. I hope that when they are sold, you can come forward or ask someone to buy them, so that they will not be reduced to being slaves. Slaves. Although there are other relatives in our family, I am afraid that they are worried about being implicated and refuse to come forward to buy someone, or even if they come, they have already been sold, and it will be too difficult to go to the master's house to redeem them. .”

"I...you trust me so much?"

"Well, I think you are willing to go to such lengths to redeem your sweetheart. You must be a person with deep friendship. I have studied in the Imperial College for so long. I believe in your character." Ma Yong said: "You can use this money as you like, just remember to give us money. The female relatives of the Ma family will buy it and sell it at the government, the price will not be too high, don't worry. I have explained everything I have explained, and I should go."

After hearing this, Song Yingbai hurriedly made three steps and made two steps, climbed out of the courtyard wall, and dragged the white dog to hide in the dark alley opposite.

Soon after Ma Yongyan went out, Song Yingbai could see through the moonlight that there was a scarf wrapped around his neck, which was quite inappropriate in this season.

He quietly followed behind him, not far or near, Ma Yongyan turned into an alley, Song Yingbai followed, but found that it was a dead end, and Ma Yongyan stood in front of the wall at the end of the alley, asking with a pale face: "Do you want to catch me?" Shall I go back?"

This Mr. Ma should also be a martial artist, so he sensed that he was following him, so he deliberately walked into a dead end to confront him.

That day he pretended to be obedient and then committed suicide, all for others to see, the real purpose is to make people take it lightly so that they can abscond.

"How did you survive?" Song Yingbai said: "Your neck was almost completely cut open, can you still survive?"

"It's just a trick. You haven't seen it before, so you can't see it."

"Is this trick related to that box?" Song Ying said something in his vernacular.

"What box?" Ma Yongyan asked in confusion.

Song Yingbai was noncommittal, "No matter what you are, come back with me to do business, and you'll be captured!" As he said, he drew out the Xiuchun knife, which shone coldly under the moonlight.

"Since I escaped, I won't go back. My father doesn't like me at all. The Fu family has lost power. I persuaded him to cancel the engagement and choose another marriage for me, but he didn't listen. He didn't think about me. , My two elder brothers both took women from the right family, but my father wanted me to marry a woman with no family background, and he didn't think about my future at all." Ma Yongyan became more and more excited as he talked: "The result, how? Because they The stupid robbery caused my family to be implicated, it is all my father's fault, and now he still wants me to go to jail like him, don't even think about it!"

"Even if you don't want to, you are a prisoner now. You can't change this. Go back with me. If you resist, don't blame me for being rude." Song Yingbai said coldly.

Ma Yongyan also sneered, "My father works in the Ministry of War, and our brother has also been trained as an orthodox martial artist since childhood, so it may not be too bold to arrest me alone?"

Song Yingbai saw him slowly pulling out a soft knife from his waist, presumably this weapon was placed in a secret place in advance like those silver coins.

Seeing this, the white dog immediately shrank back, looking like he was watching a good show.

Suddenly remembered that if Song Yingbai died, he would have no antidote, so his expression became tangled again.

Song Yingbai took a step back, and Ma Yongyan twitched his brows, thinking that he was going to retreat, but he didn't think that Song Yingbai was just taking advantage of the retreat to exert further strength. In the blink of an eye, the person had already rushed to him, and he dodged the attack and sent a move to attack Song Yingbai.

The soft knife is like a knife but not a knife, soft like a whip, but it is more lethal than a whip. In addition, the moves are biased and strange. This soft knife is like a poisonous snake entangled in Song Yingbai's Xiuchun knife.

But Song Yingbai has also experienced many actual battles along the way, far more experienced than Ma Yongyan, who is just talking on paper and has no real experience against people.

He was calmer and sharper, and Ma Yongyan gradually lost the wind, and Song Yingbai finally forced his throat with a blade, "Admit defeat."

Ma Yongyan resented: "Unless I die! What's the difference between being a prisoner and dying?!" Completely ignoring the threat on his throat, he swung his knife to resist.

Although Song Yingbai focused on the task, his life was on top of the task. Seeing that Ma Yongyan was completely unable to subdue him, and he had been wondering about Ma Yongyan's real situation, he gritted his teeth and slashed at his neck with a knife.

When the white dog saw this, he closed his eyes in fright, and when he opened his eyes again, he saw Ma Yongyan's head rolled to his feet, so he couldn't help but quickly moved back, not daring to look directly at the head.

Song Yingbai picked up Ma Yongyan's head, and saw that his eyes were half-closed, his lips were slightly opened, his expression had frozen, and the wound was dripping with blood.

However, the amount of bleeding seems to be a little less...

He wanted to see if there were traces of stitching, but it was like a blood gourd, and it was impossible to see if there were any threads.

Thoughtful, he put his head back beside Ma Yongyan, and stood motionless in front of the corpse.

Suddenly, he raised a knife and stabbed Ma Yongyan's heart fiercely, but the body did not respond.

The white dog barked at him a few times, as if to say, what are you doing destroying the corpse, go back and call someone?

Song Yingbai drew out his knife and observed the corpse without saying a word. Yes, his head was cut off and his heart was pierced. Under normal circumstances, he should be completely dead, but, really?

When his throat was cut open, he also saw it with his own eyes. A normal person would not be able to live in that situation, but he actually survived.

...Could it be that this street fight was simply a planned suspended animation?

Ma Yongyan found out that he was following him, and there was only one person, deliberately led him to this dead end, and then caused a fight, he was killed on purpose, seeing that the person was already dead, as the chaser, he should immediately go back to the Yamen to call for someone, But he was resurrected again and took the opportunity to run away.

Song Yingbai couldn't overthrow this assumption, although it was scary, but he decided to bring his head back to the Yamen, even if you can be resurrected, without a head, see what you can do.

He picked up Ma Yongyan's head and turned to leave. Seeing this, the white dog wagged its tail and followed his steps.

At this moment, behind Song Yingbai's sight, Ma Yongyan's headless corpse slowly sat up, held the soft knife, and swung it at Song Yingbai.

The moment the soft knife touched the back of Song Yingbai's neck, he immediately turned around and blocked the soft knife with the Xiuchun knife.

You really didn't die!Seeing that his head was taken away, he chose to take it back.

At this time, the human head that was still in Song Yingbai's hand suddenly opened his eyes, and suddenly spit out an iron ball the size of a fingernail, which hit the outside of Song Yingbai's knee, causing his leg to bend in pain, and he almost knelt down.

He immediately threw the head out of his hand. He didn't expect this guy to be so powerful that he could move his head away from his body!

Sure enough, whether he is dead or alive has nothing to do with his own body, even if his body suffers major damage, he will not die.

Song Yingbai had a speculation that his soul might be in that box.

His question just now, "Is this trick related to your box?" was a deliberate question.

However, Ma Yongyan asked "what box" suspiciously, which completely exposed that he was pretending to cover up.

That box couldn't be beaten, couldn't be smashed, and it was placed in his room, at least it was a treasure. How could he have no impression, it was too obvious to cover up.

On the day Ma Yongyan committed suicide, he couldn't take away the casket in public, and then the casket was transported to the palace, and now it is sent to the Jinyiwei yamen, and he never had a chance to get it back.

He thought of a way for the female family members of the Ma family today, and if nothing else happened, his next step was to find a way to steal the stone box.

Song Yingbai said in his heart, fortunately he noticed it early.

The Ma Yongyan in front of him was no longer worth fighting for. He purposely gritted his teeth and said, "Oh my God, you are such a monster." After speaking, he ignored the pain in his leg and ran away.

And the white dog was stunned for a moment, then ran on all fours, following Song Yingbai.

Ma Yongyan put his head back on his neck, looked at Song Yingbai's back, and felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

This Song Yingbai is definitely not that easy to deal with, he ran away so easily, could it be that he discovered the secret of the box?

Song Yingbai ran out for a few streets without resting, until he could see the lantern of the Jinyiwei yamen, he held on to a courtyard wall to pant.

The white dog was also so tired that he stuck out his tongue.

Song Yingbai looked at it and said, "You, if only you were a pangolin spirit..."

The white dog had an expression of 'I don't understand what you're saying'.

Song Yingbai explained: "If you are...a pangolin...you can...help me drill through that stone box."

The white dog rolled his eyes and sent him off.

Then Song Yingbai stepped on its tail as a gift in return.
