Patriarch out of coffin

Hi, that’s it?

Entering the room, Xia Yi's first reaction was a little disappointed. The room was freed up, and nutritious meals were ordered. Shi Lai's blushing face made Xia Yi think that the matter was done, but in the end, he didn't know how far it had come.

Anyway, the last step didn't work.

You can tell by looking at Lin Jingjing's appearance.

It’s not that he has a bad taste, it’s just that the relationship between the two children has reached that point, the age is right, and the harmony of yin and yang is the best way to relieve stress. It will help the growth and cultivation of the three souls, so it’s easy

Just pushing the boat.

I don't know if it's because Lin Jingjing is shy or because she just doesn't understand. Judging from the appearance of the two children, Xia Yi is afraid that she will run away if she mentions this matter again.

Let nature take its course and let these two children live together. The relationship between the seventeen and eighteen-year-old boy will definitely break through soon.

I was really worried about my child. Xia Yi smiled inwardly and asked as if he didn't know anything: "Tell me more about what you heard in prison."

Lin Jingjing has been sitting on the edge of the bed, with her head hanging down like... Oh, she is just a shy little wife. She wishes she could have the ability to eliminate the sense of existence like the Phoenix Demon God possessed so that Xia Yi can't see her. At this time, Xia Yi heard that

Talking about other topics, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and quietly raised my head.

When she saw Shi Lai, she blushed again and lowered her head suddenly... She probably wouldn't get better in a short time.

When Shi Lai glanced at her, he was also in a daze. He pursed his dry lips and replied after a long while: "My uncle's name is Hu Zhi. More than three years ago, he took his children to visit friends in the next village and was killed.

Someone robbed the half-year-old child.

The man even stabbed him, but Uncle Hu survived. He could vaguely remember the appearance of the person who robbed his child, and he kept looking for him.

Three years have passed, and finally he has gained something in Xiangyang City. Someone told him that he had seen that person a few years ago and entered the North District District Magistrate's Office."

"That's all?" Xia Yi asked.

Shi Lai recalled for a moment: "Yeah."

"Analyze the doubts yourself."

Shi Lai was stunned for a moment and thought: "There is something wrong with the person who told the uncle the news. Who would remember a person I met several years ago and accurately remember that he went to the District Magistrate's Mansion?"

Xia Yi nodded and asked him again: "Then what do you think we should do now?"

Shi Lai said: "Rescue the uncle and let him lead us to find the person who told him the news."

"That's right, let's go."

…

Hu Zhi is dead.

He died last night, 'suicide out of fear of crime'!

When he learned the news, Shi Lai was dumbfounded and full of regret!

If he had paid more attention and was more attentive in prison, he would have thought of Xia Yi's analysis. And if he had thought of it earlier, when Xia Yi and Lin Jingjing came to ransom him yesterday, he would have directly told Xia Yi and Hu Zhi about it

He won't die!

Just one step slower.

Lin Jingjing grabbed Shi Lai's hand to comfort him, while Xia Yi asked the prison chief: "Where is the body?"

The warden replied: "He has no relatives and is a prisoner. No one will bury him. He has been burned in a fire."

Xia Yi chuckled: "Destroy the corpse and eliminate all traces?"

"Sir! You don't dare to talk nonsense!" the warden said, neither humble nor arrogant: "Even if you are a king, you must abide by the laws in Wei Dynasty. You are already interfering with the case in Xiangyang City, which is very against the rules!"

Xia Yi burst into laughter: "Shi Lai, what do you think we should do now? What would you do without me?"

Shi Lai was silent for a moment and said directly: "Uncle Hu Zhi's death must be related to him. If you were not here, I would kill him and run away. When I am stronger, I will come back to investigate and see if Xiangyang City North District District Order

The mastermind behind the scenes.”

The jailer's eyes widened: "Bold! I am a seventh-rank official in the Wei Dynasty. Just by what you just said, I can..."

"Let's do it." Xia Yi interrupted.

When he comes, he immediately knows what he means, draws his sword and stabs!

It can only be said that the Great Wei is the Great Wei. A small jailer has a four-star cultivation level. Although the jailer was caught off guard, he was still able to stagger and parry.

"Bastard!" At this moment, a shout rang out from outside, and a strong man with a pine beard rushed in, pressing forward like a hungry tiger attacking a sheep!

Xia Yi raised his right hand and struck with a backhand!

With a bang, the strong man shot back at a faster speed, slamming through the wall!

"General!" Several exclamations rang out.

The person who came was the deputy captain of Xiangyang City. His official position was equivalent to that of Zheng Guo’s commander, and his strength was six-star Kaiyang. As early as when Xia Yi arrived, the warden felt something was wrong and secretly sent someone to notify this person. The deputy captain said that someone stormed the Yamen with force.

This kind of thing actually happens quite often.

Xia used force to break the ban, and the Wei Dynasty had a lot of five- and six-star cultivators. If someone's relatives or friends were imprisoned, and they rushed to the Yamen in a moment of righteous anger, they would have to be beaten and imprisoned for several months before they could wake up.

But this time...it seems different.

After lying on the ground in a daze for a long time, the deputy captain recovered from the shaking of his guards and sat on the ground in a daze: "King?"

A scream came from the lobby, causing his expression to change slightly, and he forced himself to stand up: "I don't know which king is in front of me! Please show mercy!"

"It's too late." Xia Yi took Shi Lai and Lin Jingjing and stepped out. After that, Si Yu, whose neck was pierced by a sword, lay on the ground and stopped twitching.

The deputy captain's face instantly turned ugly.

"May I ask about your identity? How did Wang Siyuan provoke you to condescend to take action?"

"I am Xia Yi, Xia Yi of the Xia family. You should know me." Xia Yi said, "When the time comes, tell him about Hu Zhi."

Xia Yi? The deputy captain's heart sank as he had the Wei Dynasty on his back and was not afraid of the king. Is he the Xia Yi who dared to tie up General Xu and force the four major families to apologize and send away their clansmen?

Force is used to make people talk to you calmly. After knowing Xia Yi's identity, the deputy captain no longer felt confident as a citizen of the Wei Dynasty. He calmly listened to Shi Lai's story and secretly thought that Wang Siyu might be Dead in vain.

He was still a little angry in his heart, and after Shi finished speaking, he said with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Even if you suspect that Hu Zhi was killed by Wang Siyu, you should have spared his life for investigation."

Xia Yi shook his head: "No one can lie in front of me. Hu Zhi's body was not burned. This deception alone means that he is not innocent. At least he is also a participant. What's more, he offended me and killed me." He is not unjust!

You came just in time to gather the officers and soldiers and investigate them one by one. You will always be able to find the person who handled Hu Zhi's body, and the interrogation will be left to you."

Xia Yi gave the order directly, and the deputy captain was very angry and said loudly: "I know!"

The investigation was easy. Two jailers carefully led them to dig out Hu Zhi's body in the suburbs. The marks on his neck were very obvious... he had been killed.

And it was one of the jailers who did it, and it was Wang Siyu who asked him to do it.

The clues seem to have been cut off here, but in fact, all aspects have pointed to the district magistrate of Xiangyang City North District...after all, he has a very good motive.

The only doubt was the person who told Hu Zhi the news. Xia Yi guessed that it was probably due to the uneven distribution of the stolen goods internally and his accomplices reported it.

That's right, divide the spoils.

The collusion between officials and gangsters to rob rural children and sell them to people has happened repeatedly. This has been the case for hundreds of years. When Xia Yi heard Shi Lai's description, he immediately thought of this direction.

I just don’t know how many officials and people are involved.

At a later stage of the investigation, the deputy captain of Xiangyang City had obviously thought of this. As a pure military attache with a sweet temperament, Xia Yi didn't need to say anything else and directly sent people to surround the district magistrate's office.

He did not act according to the rules. The district magistrate was an official at the same level as him, and he was not qualified to besiege the mansion.

Of course, after such a long delay, the Northern District District Commander was well-informed and would not sit still and wait for death, and has long since disappeared.

This also proves from the side that he was not wronged.

But it was too naive to run away. There was no way he was a king. Xia Yi asked his name and appearance, started automatic pathfinding, and easily stopped him more than ten miles outside Xiangyang City.

The matter should have ended here. I solved an uninteresting case, helped Shi Lai complete a task, and helped eradicate one, or possibly many, cancers in the officialdom of the Wei Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, the district magistrate of Xiangyang City North District, faced with the panic of Xia Yi falling from the sky, did not give up yet, knelt down and shouted:

"Master Immortal, help me! Immortal Master, help me!"

"Immortal Master?" Xia Yi frowned and glanced around, not sensing anyone's presence before picking up the district order and heading back.

Seeing that the immortal master who had placed hope in him could not save him, District Ling begged Xia Yi for mercy: "Senior, please let me go, please let me go! I have treasures, good things, and treasures in my body, and I will give them all to you! I can

Contact the Immortal Master! I can give you more!"

The treasure in his mouth were three small black pills. Naturally, their effect was not to nourish the body. Xia Yi took one of the small black pills and sniffed it gently, and was silent for a long time.

There were many precious medicinal materials in the pills, but Xia Yi couldn't distinguish them completely just by smelling them with his nose. The method of practicing medicine was also very magical, something Xia Yi had never seen before.

But one of the medicines, Xia Yi's cultivation level, could easily be sensed - the three fragmented souls! That's right, the medicine was made with babies! It was a hundred times more vicious than he expected to rob children and sell them to people!

"What does this pill do?"

After listening to Xia Yi's question, Ou Ling howled in his hand and felt a little happy, saying: "Senior really knows the stuff! This is the legendary elixir. Taking one pill can extend your life by three years! If you let me go, I can contact you."

Come to the Immortal Master and ask for medicine for you!"

"Elixir." Xia Yi sniffed the pill in his hand again and remained speechless.

According to his feeling, this... is actually true!
