Strange Records of Xijing

Su Yan thanked the Magnolia Flower Demon, took the portrait from her, looked at it carefully for a while, shook his head and said, "I've never seen this person before."

The Magnolia flower demon said with a smile on the side: "Since it is a killer, it must have a face that people will never forget. Daoist Su may have seen it, but it is also possible to forget it."

The leader of the crow suddenly said: "Daozhang Su, let us find this killer on our shoulders."

Birds are everywhere in Xijing, so ordinary people don't pay special attention to these ordinary birds, and they are indeed the best choice for finding people.

It's just that the leader of the crow took the initiative to ask for Ying, and of course it wasn't for nothing. He then expressed his request: "Our Little Demon Mutual Help Association would like to ask Daoist Su to support us."

"Support?" Su Yan quickly understood that these little monsters gathered together, although their strength was several times stronger, but it was still in vain to meet a big monster or a powerful Taoist priest.With him, Su Yan, he gained a lot of confidence.

Su Yan thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, but you have to promise me that you will never do evil or do things that hurt nature and reason."

The crow leader fluttered his wings and said: "Of course. If we little demons help each other, whoever would do such a thing, I will be the first to let him go."

"There's a certain one," Tian Qi listened and nodded, and rushed to say, "A certain one will also supervise these little monsters."

Now that Su Yan and the crow leader reached an agreement, the latter was not ambiguous at all, and immediately ordered the sparrow demon next to him to give orders, and said to the Magnolia flower demon and Tian Qi respectively: "I will leave the rest to you."

Tian Qi nodded, pointed at the crow leader, and explained to Su Yan: "The president of our Little Monster Mutual Aid Association is nonexistent, and he also leads the flying birds, and the animals are temporarily in charge of the beasts, and Mrs. Yulan is in charge. Contact all the flower demons in Xijing."

Su Yan understood, it seems that this little demon mutual aid association is not a small matter, even the birds, animals, flowers, birds, fish and insects in it have begun to be classified.

After a while, little demons gathered in front of Su Yan chattering, some curiously sized up this Taoist priest who was said to have saved many little demons, some hid behind their companions, poking their heads out from time to time, and quite a few The courageous one, who was only a few steps away from Su Yan, stretched his neck and raised his paws to get closer.

The leading crow, that is, Wuyou, coughed twice, and those bird demons immediately stood up. As for the rabbits and other beasts, they took a few more glances before reluctantly standing upright in front of Su Yan.

Wu You asked one of the sparrow monsters to hold the scroll in its mouth and said, "Daozhang Su saved us back then, we should also repay our kindness..."

Wu Youcai said a few words, and immediately a rabbit demon interrupted him: "No, no, he saved you, but he didn't save us."

The rabbit demon's words attracted the approval of many monsters, and they all expressed their opinions: "That's right, this Taoist priest didn't save us, and we don't owe him anything."

Wu You was a little unhappy: "Since we formed the Little Demon Mutual Aid Association, the brothers and sisters in the association are a family. Daoist Su saved the monsters in our association, shouldn't we repay him?"

"Even if they are brothers and sisters, they are still close or distant," the rabbit demon said again, "Just because one monster in the club has received favor, it doesn't mean that all of us monsters receive his favor, right?"

Wu You knew that this rabbit demon was the one who disobeyed him the most, if he couldn't hold it down this time, it would be very difficult for him to establish his prestige again in the future.

"Even if you are not caught this time, what about the next time?" Wu You asked the rabbit demon, "This time with the help of Daoist Su, the captured little demon was able to escape, what about next time? What if it is your turn next time?" , will you regret it?"

The reason why these monsters joined the Little Monster Mutual Aid Association was purely because they were too weak and unable to protect themselves against such vicious enemies as Zhu Zhiwen.

Wu You's words fell into the ears of every little monster present, and hit their deepest fear just right—whether it was a big monster or a Taoist priest, they had no possibility of fighting back on their own.

Wu Youjian rabbit demon and other monsters were silent, took advantage of the victory to pursue, and continued: "Su Daochang has promised me that if we help him, we will be his friends. If we are in trouble in the future, he will definitely not sit idly by." reason."

Although these words are different from what Su Yan promised just now, but after careful consideration, it is indeed the truth.So Su Yan stood aside, did not correct him, but nodded.

The rabbit demon and other monsters are still hesitating, but most of the little monsters can't wait after hearing Wuyou's words.

"I'll go to Chongningfang to look for it, I'm familiar with that place."

"I'm going to Quchi, my old lady still lives there."

"Someone went to Xinde Square to look for it. There are mixed fish and dragons there, and the killer might be hiding there."

"Then so and so's friends will go to the suburbs to look for them," Tian Qi also joined the twitter team, "maybe this killer has gone out of the city."

"Both of you, don't go to Yongle Fang anymore," Wu You divided above the two vole demons, and said, "There are enough monsters over there, so you go to the nearby Cheng'an Fang."

The trend of the times, even if monsters such as Rabbit Demon still disagree with Wu You's opinion, it is hard to speak up.Xijing [-]th Square, together with the east and west cities and the land within [-] miles of the suburbs of Beijing, were all divided up by these little monsters.Some little demons not only contributed their own efforts, but also planned to go back and bring out their relatives to help find the killer together.

Wu You was quite satisfied with this, went around, assigned and adjusted the mission of all the monsters to search for the killer, then turned to Su Yan and asked, "Daozhang Su, what should we do if we find that killer?"

"Look at him and tell me right away, absolutely don't startle the snake." Su Yan recalled the conversation between Zhu Zhiwen and Aning, and said, "This person is cautious and suspicious. If he finds out, it will be very difficult to have a second chance."

Wu Yi gave an order, and all the monsters left the land of Yulan one after another, and went to various places and cities to search for people.

As for Su Yan, he still has another place to go.

"My cousin was framed!" Pei Huaiyu, who was confined at home in a disguised form, jumped up excitedly after listening to Su Yan's narration, "I said, how could my cousin, a manly man, kill him?" A dude like Niu Chunhui, this is simply dirtying his hands!"

Seeing Pei Huaiyu's lack of composure, Su Yan couldn't help feeling agitated, not knowing whether he was right or wrong in coming to him this time.

The reason why Su Yan came to look for Pei Huaiyu was actually very simple - Pei Jingxing was framed by the prince of the state this time, and was framed and imprisoned. Zhu Zhiwen made it clear that he wanted to put Pei Jingxing to death, maybe he still had a plan for later.And he, Su Yan, is just a Taoist priest and has nothing to do with the court. In terms of power, how can he compare to the prince of the state?

But Pei Huaiyu was different. Pei Jingxing once said that Pei Huaiyu had a special fate and was highly valued by the emperor. He was also the only son of the princess, so in terms of status, he was no less than the son of the prince.Moreover, Pei Huaiyu admired Pei Jingxing a lot on weekdays, if he knew that Pei Jingxing was framed, he would definitely help him.

Power and motivation, Pei Huaiyu has all these.Besides, besides Pei Jingxing, he was the only powerful person Su Yan knew in Xijing. Apart from him, Su Yan had no other candidate.

Pei Huaiyu was over excited, the excited expression faded from his face, and changed into a face of bitterness and hatred: "My father is still in Daying in the suburbs of Beijing, it would be great if he was here."

The servant standing aside reminded: "Young master, didn't the princess just send a letter to the general? The camp in the suburbs of Beijing is far away from Xijing, so I must have received the letter by now."

"It makes sense!" Pei Huaiyu clenched his fist with his right hand and tapped it on the palm of his left hand, "Is Auntie at home today?"

"The princess was invited by Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites to go to the plum garden to appreciate the snow and explore the plum blossoms." The servant asked vigilantly, "Young master, don't you want to sneak out quietly?"

"I don't feel relieved if I don't see my cousin with my own eyes." Pei Huaiyu sighed, "My mother only said to write a letter to my father and ask my father to come forward, but what should my cousin do these days?"

After hearing this, Su Yan remembered what Aning and Zhu Zhiwen said at that time, and said, "But I heard from Zhu Zhiwen's servant that Minglang County Master sent someone to inform Jing Zhaoyin, and told him not to embarrass Pei Jingxing too much. "

Pei Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face changed again and again, and finally he said with some embarrassment: "Then, then I'll write to Dad, and tell Dad that my cousin was framed. Father, please come forward as soon as possible. Now that we have witnesses, father will not be criticized if he comes forward. Hurry up and serve the pen and ink."

He didn't even mention a word about Princess Minglang anymore.

After Pei Huaiyu wrote the letter, he immediately ordered one of his confidantes to leave the house immediately, and he must take the letter to the camp in the suburbs of Beijing as soon as possible, and hand it over to Pei Qiong.

After the confidant left, Pei Huaiyu ordered the other servants to retreat outside, leaving only him and Su Yan in the room.

"Daozhang Su," Pei Huaiyu hesitated to speak several times, "Can you... go to see my cousin in the prison?"

In fact, after hearing what Pei Huaiyu said earlier, Su Yan had this idea. Now that Pei Huaiyu said this, of course he agreed: "Okay."

"Well, maybe my aunt didn't want me to cause trouble, so she told me that." After all, Pei Huaiyu was young and grew up surrounded by everyone's love. Facing Su Yan, he couldn't hide it at all. Stay on your mind.He obviously planned not to mention it again, but Pei Huaiyu only felt that there was a piece of his heart that was being scratched by many cat's paws, and it was uncomfortably itchy.

"Su Daochang, you know me. You have no skills, you are easy to make a fuss, and you like to lose your temper." Pei Huaiyu scolded himself first, and then said, "My mother must be afraid that I will lose my mind for a while. Do something that you think you can save your cousin, but in the end it helps Zhu Zhiwen and the others."

Fortunately, Su Yan didn't know what Princess Minglang told Pei Huaiyu at that time, he only thought that Pei Huaiyu was really explaining the difference between the two of them, nodded and said, "I know."

Seeing Su Yan's expression, Pei Huaiyu knew that he didn't know anything.But Pei Huaiyu was afraid that this matter would let Pei Jingxing know that his cousin was not like Su Yan, who was so foolish about the world.

He said again: "Then Daoist Su, can you not mention this matter to my cousin?"

Seeing that Su Yan didn't speak, Pei Huaiyu continued to explain in a panic: "That's... that is, before the truth comes out, the less people know about this kind of thing, the better."

Su Yan was confused when he heard it, but it didn't matter whether he said it or not. Seeing that Pei Huaiyu was sweating in anxiety, he nodded and said, "I see."

Only then was Pei Huaiyu relieved, he told Su Yan the location of the prison where Pei Jingxing was imprisoned, and told him to be careful, and then ordered someone to send Su Yan out quietly.

After Su Yan left, Pei Huaiyu grabbed the handkerchief, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, sighed, and threw the handkerchief on the ground angrily.

Seeing this, the boy cautiously approached him, picked up the handkerchief on the thick blanket, and asked puzzledly: "Master, this is good news, why are you unhappy?"

"What do you know?" Pei Huaiyu was aggrieved, when the boy came up, he just hit the crater and was reprimanded by Pei Huaiyu.

It's just that the more he talked, the more guilty Pei Huaiyu felt. He sat weakly on the chair and murmured, "Did Aunt send a letter to Adie?"

The servant was scolded innocently, knowing that Pei Huaiyu was furious, he didn't dare to speak anymore.

Pei Huaiyu was quiet for a while, then suddenly his eyes widened, and he said urgently: "Oh no! If Aniang didn't send a letter to Adie, then I will send a letter to Adie, wouldn't Aye blame Aniang?"

"The princess must have sent a letter to the general," the young servant at the side was taken aback. Although he didn't understand why Pei Huaiyu said this suddenly, he persuaded him, "Didn't the princess promise the young master to send the letter to the general?" Is it?"

"You don't understand." Pei Huaiyu fell back heavily on the stool and sighed.
