Feast of Rebirth

Yun Congfeng squatted back, rubbing his nose, the tip of his nose was scratched, leaving a little blood on his fingertips.

He was a little bewildered.

In a trance, the street lightened slightly, it became less dark, the light of the paper moon also dimmed, and the spiritual power was exhausted visibly to the naked eye, turning into ashes.

Just now... Yun Congfeng was still in a daze.

It's like having a big dream.

"Okay! Things are ready!" Hu Yan hurried out, "Let's go back quickly! Hey? What's wrong with your nose?"

Yun Congfeng shook his head: "Ah...it's okay, I stumbled a bit. But you, why are your clothes so dirty?"

"I gave him his hand when he was doing something, otherwise how could it be so fast." Hu Yan shook his sleeves nonchalantly, Yun Congfeng with sharp eyes immediately caught a glimpse of the half of the palm that was stained black and purple, and there were obviously scars.

"No, show me first, do you know what you got on? Is it poisonous?"

"This thing... maybe there is it? It's okay, this thing can't hurt me."

"Yes, yes, you are very powerful. This little thing can't hurt you, but doesn't it hurt you?" Yun Congfeng said, forcefully pulling his hand out of the sleeve, and opened his fingers. It was black and purple, and there were obviously traces of being burned by flames, some of which had blisters, and some blisters burst, forming black blood clots.

Yun Congfeng took a deep breath: "You!"

"Okay, okay. Go back and apply some medicine, it's nothing serious." Hu Yan twitched lightly, but didn't pull it back. In fact, he... didn't want to pull it back, so he just pretended.

Yun Congfeng held her tightly, warmly, and unknowingly felt a little shy.

"There may be a doctor on duty in Xie's mansion, I will go back and find someone to take a look later." Yun Congfeng said without letting go, and jumped up.

Hu Yan followed him, his face getting hotter and hotter.

Calm down, calm down.We are almost at Xie Mansion.Hu Yan tried his best to hold back his smile, the corners of his mouth fluttered wildly and then drooped, Yun Congfeng just didn't see it, when he arrived at the gate of Xie's mansion, there was no longer the bustling scene of cars and horses, gongs and drums, and firecrackers everywhere Paper, the door was very quiet.

It makes people panic for no reason.

Yun Congfeng pushed the door open and entered, looked around, but there was no one there, and felt more and more wrong.After walking a few more times into the courtyard, I finally heard some voices, noisy.

Hu Yan listened, and the more he listened, the more he felt something was wrong: "It seems that someone is dead? It's your fault? If it wasn't because you came in and made a big noise, how could father suddenly wake up? Huh?"

The two looked at each other, Yun Congfeng said: "Go and have a look first."

When the two entered the courtyard, there was already a mess inside, crying again and again.Just when he was feeling baffled, Xie Jiashi walked over and bowed deeply: "Your Excellency has worked hard all night to catch the murderer. Do you have any clues?"

Yun Congfeng was stunned for a moment, and could only follow his words: "I'm ashamed, I let that thief escape."

"My lord, you don't have to blame yourself. The gangster is cunning. If he escapes for a while, he won't be able to escape forever. I believe that Qingping will bring him to justice."

Yun Congfeng nodded: "The responsibility lies." But his heart became more and more strange.

"I'm exhausted from arresting the murderer. I've already prepared to clean the house. If you don't mind, please rest in the mansion. Have you two had breakfast? If there is a need, I will do my best to arrange it."

Yun Congfeng thanked Jiashi, and Xie Jiashi immediately asked a servant to take them to the place where they lived.The room was really spacious and bright, a hearty steaming breakfast was set on the table, Yun Congfeng stopped the servant, and asked if there was any doctor on duty in Xie's residence, the servant said yes, and hurriedly went to invite him.

"Do you want to listen to it?" Hu Yan asked.

"Don't you wash your hands first?" Yun Congfeng said

"……"Fine.

Hu Yan allowed Yun Congfeng to help him wash his hands. The temperature of the hot water brought by the servant was just right, but it was still a bit irritating to soak the wound in hot water.Hu Yan flinched: "Take it easy."

"I'm already very light. Didn't you say it's okay before, it's okay."

"That was before." Hu Yan argued, Yun Congfeng smiled, but didn't take it seriously.Hu Yan began to talk about other things: "This Xie Jiashi is quite interesting, why do I always feel that we have been tricked by him."

"Maybe, it's not clear at the moment. I'll ask later, if it doesn't work, I'll go and listen. After all, it's a family affair."

"I've heard all kinds of rumors just now, do you think the dead person is Xie Jitong?"

Yun Congfeng pinched his fingertips: "Don't talk nonsense!"

Hu Yan never repented: "I mean it's possible, it's possible. Think about it, the old man is so old. When he woke up, his family told him that half of your life's collections were burned last night. It's no wonder you got sick because of anger. "

Yun Congfeng lowered his head, and picked a bloody lump stuck to the wound on his palm: "Can I pull this out?"

Hu Yan glanced at it, but before he could speak, Yun Congfeng pushed hard, and the blood lump fell into the water.

At this point, the messy color on Hu Yan's palm was completely washed away, and the warm water made his hands soft and red. Yun Congfeng joked: "Like pig's foot ginger."

Hu Yan pushed him: "You are the pig's foot."

Just as he was talking, the servant came leading the doctor.After inspecting the wound, he prescribed an ointment, which can be applied daily.After the servant and the doctor left, Hu Yan took out a lifelike wooden bird, fiddled with the organs on the bird's stomach, let it fly, and sat down to eat.

"Where do you get so many things in your sleeves?"

"Hey, this is a secret."

After breakfast was eaten slowly, the little bird flew back.Hu Yan flicked the bird's feather crest, opened its beak, and spit out human words, which was a woman's scolding: "Thank you Jiashi! Don't you want to spit blood!"

"Auntie, calm down, what I said is just the truth."

"Jiaqing is still a child, he only knows to tell the truth, what does he know! It's you, you! The old man is so good at drinking, it's impossible to get drunk! Did you do anything to him?"

"Yes." Xie Jiashi admitted readily, and said openly: "If I hadn't done this trick, my father might have had an accident yesterday. I tried my best to arrange the illusion, hoping to buy some time, but in the end my baby My son exposed it with a few words, but he is really excellent."

"You..." The aunt Xie Jiashi was talking about, now the official wife of the Xie Mansion, her lips trembled with anger, realizing that Xie Jiaqing, who had caused a catastrophe, was crying non-stop. Xie Jiashi glanced at him, with the disgust that could not be concealed in her eyes: "The matter has come to this point, and there is no room for redemption. Don't try to shirk responsibility, Auntie. The most important thing is to manage father's funeral well." Dao said and left with a flick of his sleeves.

The sound of chaotic footsteps gradually faded away, only the child and the woman wept softly, the woman said through gritted teeth: "This bastard must have no good intentions! Jiaqing, why are you crying! It's not your fault, just To bring down your mother based on this, he is still a little tender!"

"But, but dad died... I can't tell..." the child sobbed.

"Stupid! Come here, go..." At this point, the words came to an abrupt end.

Yun Congfeng was puzzled: "What's going on?"

Hu Yan patted the bird's stomach: "It can only be stored for such a long time, so it is broken."

Yun Congfeng drank the porridge slowly, and went over the matter. Although he was not very clear about the internal contradictions of Xie's family, just a few words between the woman and Xie Jiashi was enough to figure out the conspiracy.But what medicine did Xie Jiashi put on Xie Jitong, Xie Jiaqing's breaking the truth made Xie Jitong mad, and even he and Hu Yan went to find Diaolong Layman to fake Phoenix bone, is it also in his calculation?

"Where's Bai Jiu?" Yun Congfeng asked suddenly.Xie Jiashi sent the two of them away last night, but Bai Jiu was still there.

"Not here, maybe go back." Hu Yan took a fried dumpling and bit into it loudly, "Are you going to find him now?"

Yun Congfeng thought about it for a while, and he still needs to be here, "You help me to ask him how it is?"

Hu Yan was taken aback: "Ah? What are you asking?"

"Let me tell you..." After so many words, "That's it?"

"Otherwise?!" Yun Congfeng asked back.

"If you ask him, it's better to ask the people in Xie's house. Since Xie Jiashi knows to dismiss us, he will definitely dismiss Bai Jiu with other reasons. If you ask him, you won't be able to find anything." Hu Yan chewed the fried dumplings , suddenly his eyes lit up: "There is a person, he must know!"

"Who?"

"Of course it's the steward of Zhenbao Pavilion, Liu Xinshan!"

A ray of sunlight shone on Liu Xinshan's face, burning him awake.

He slowly opened his eyes, hurt by the sunlight.It took a long time to get used to it.

The welts on the arms were still fresh, and the blood clots hadn't coagulated, and the slightest movement made the skin and flesh painful.He struggled to turn over extremely slowly, lying on his back, bathed in the sunshine from the narrow window, his thoughts were confused, thinking of the fire for a moment, thinking of that person, the person who was his scapegoat in his plan, and thinking of Second Young Master's haughty face with natural contempt for inferior people, and the big housekeeper next to him is as old as a dog... Ha!He suddenly laughed out loud, and when he laughed, a stuffy air surged up in his chest, and he coughed up blood.

It hurts me to death... A group of sluts who step on the low and climb high!Liu Xinshan gritted his teeth bitterly.

"Oh, here?" A voice suddenly sounded in the silent and dark dungeon, Liu Xinshan was startled, and coughed up blood again.

"The injury is not serious." Hu Yan squatted down, Liu Xinshan's face was covered with blood, and his hair was cut like a dog, "Can you still talk?"

Liu Xinshan glared at Hu Yan viciously, and Hu Yan pursed his lips and smiled: "Oh, it's so fierce. I don't want to talk nonsense, I just want to ask you something, answer it, I'll send you out, as for what will you do next , I can’t control it anymore.”

Liu Xinshan still stared.

"You are the steward of Zhenbao Pavilion. Xie Jiashi set up the phantom array last night. How did you set it up? Did anyone else come across it?"

Xie Jiashi vowed to set up the phantom array to hide it from the old father's eyes, but Xie Jitong is not a person who knows nothing about magic techniques. Ordinary magic tricks can't fool his eyes. It is inevitable that the phantom formation is realistic, so the problem arises , since the phantom formation is realistic, how did the young Xie Jiaqing see through the phantom formation?There is a lot of trickery in this.

Liu Xinshan's voice was hoarse: "I don't know the art."

"Then answer my second question."

"I do not know."

Hu Yan got up and looked around the dungeon, and sighed: "If you are like this, I have no reason to want to help you. I don't know what to ask."

"Which side are you on?" Liu Xinshan coughed and panted heavily.

Hu Yan squatted down again, crossed his hands on his chest, and a phantom with a fox tail appeared, fluffy and glowing in the darkness: "It's very strange, this question, do you think Xie Jiashi didn't go as you thought?" , Are we from his side? Our horizons are still too narrow. In fact, we don’t stand for either side, we only stand for the axioms of heaven and earth.”

Speaking of this, Hu Yan suddenly sneered: "Ah, it's wrong. It's his nerd who stands for the axiom of heaven and earth, I don't care, I just stand by him."
