Chapter 323: Intention
"This...is this the murderer?!"
One person couldn't stand the rich and disgusting bloody smell in the room and asked in a trembling voice.
"Yes, he is a person who has fallen into devils." Master Huaihong nodded slightly.
He opened his eyes and swept across the courtyard in front of him. I am afraid that this is the most profound and reluctant place in the other person's memory, so he returned here and waited for the arrival of death at the last moment when his life was almost lost.
Even the devil who kills people may have the last trace of human nature...
"You guys go find someone to move all these bodies out..."
The detective frowned and left the yard to command the commander, then turned to Master Huaihong: "Master, I'm afraid I'm going to trouble you with the matter of salvation here!"
The murderer's affairs can be confirmed after cleaning up later. After all, it has involved extraordinary powers such as so-called demons, and these constables can only trust the opinions of experts.
"Serious." The monk nodded.
———————————————
Du Bai had already left the door of the Liu family and came to the front of the county government.
He had already learned from Su Wanmiao what happened last night. He was inexplicably shown the poems he copied from the earth and unexpectedly made unnecessary names. He was amused and crying.
After all, he never thought of relying on this to show off.
It was like asking me to come to me. Moreover, Miss Yue Ning deliberately interfered, although it was proved to him, but to some extent it pushed him to another dangerous situation.
Especially Su Wanmiao's eyes seemed a little strange when she looked at him this morning, and her desire to speak but stopped made him feel even more uncomfortable.
In addition, the fact that Mr. Xu, who had never met, specially sent someone to invite him to meet was a bit unexpected. After all, no matter what he said, he just wrote a few good sentences, and other aspects may not be very outstanding.
Could it be that Mr. Xu is a literati who loves poetry very much, so he specially summoned him?
This is actually somewhat possible.
After all, such questions like poetry and lyrics are already prevalent in peace and prosperity, and are a competition event that many literati and scholars love...
After thinking about it for a long time, he still had no good idea for the time being. And under the leadership of a servant, he finally saw this big man who had met for the first time in a study.
It was an old man with gray hair and gentle temperament, wearing a casual dress in a long robe. If it looked just from the appearance, it was no different from an ordinary old man. But the vicissitudes of eyes revealed endless light of wisdom, which was the calm and uneven power that remained after seeing all the various aspects of life.
This alone can easily determine that he must be a person in a high position.
"You are Du Bai, the son-in-law of the Su family who wrote the two poems last night?"
The old man was sitting at the desk at this moment, looking up at him who came in, and asked.
“That’s right!”
Du Bai nodded slightly.
His eyes fell on the young man who was waiting behind the old man, and his eyes were stunned.
Xu Zhiyan?!
He didn't expect to meet the other person here!
But soon he realized, his eyes were converging and thoughtful.
Both of these two people have their surnames Xu and are close to each other. Could it be that they are the younger generation of Mr. Xu?
If this is true, then some of the doubts that have been left before can be answered clearly.
No wonder there is so much financial resources to explore the so-called ghosts and gods, and it also has such great appeal to make many local rich young men and ladies willing to give him face to attend the banquet.
After all, he is a big man who came down from the capital, and neither power nor financial resources can match people in such small places. Even if it is just the tip of the iceberg, it is enough for many people to flock to please and flatter.
After all, in the eyes of many people, the theory of ghosts and gods is too illusory, and only a very small number of people really believe in it. The most important thing is to seize the opportunity to make friends with such big names who have never had the chance to speak in the past!
When the other party saw him, he smiled gently and showed his friendly gesture. Naturally, he would not talk nonsense when there were elders.
"You two know each other?" However, Mr. Xu obviously noticed these details and asked unexpectedly.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Xu Zhiyan bowed slightly and said, "Yes, uncle, Mr. Du and I met unexpectedly when we went out to play. After communicating, we admired his conversation and character very much. So we dared to assure you last night that he was definitely not the kind of person who greedy for fame and fortune and steals other people's poems."
What outsiders don't know is that he also made a promise for Du Bai in the room so that the farce of last night would not continue to spread, which was a small help.
He did not mention the search for the Theological Society, and Du Bai knew that he did not mention it.
But how could this trick be hidden from the old man Xu, who was so mature, frowned slightly, as if he was a little dissatisfied: "A few days ago, I heard that you were getting involved in the matter related to ghosts and gods. Could it be that it is related to this?"
After all, they rarely come here, so it is naturally related to this if they know locals.
Xu Zhiyan smiled bitterly, and indeed his little thoughts could not be hidden from the old man.
"Zhiyan, I once told you that scholars only need to be upright, so why fear those demons, demons, and gods? You are still young and should not waste time on these meaningless things!"
Xu Zhiyan nodded silently. Seeing this, Mr. Xu sighed lightly, probably guessing that he would not give up easily. He then turned his gaze to Du Bai again.
"The sentences you wrote last night were indeed well written." He praised him as soon as he opened his mouth, and there was a bit of emotion in his expression. "I have only seen such literary talent in people who are not as many as ten fingers in the court..."
"If the Emperor was still alive, with his favorite poetic character, he would probably love it. Perhaps he would have entered the court to become a civil servant."
"It's a pity that it's a little late..."
These are probably just some jokes from the other party.
The late emperor passed away ten years ago and was succeeded by the then prince's current Majesty.
Du Bai naturally knew some of the old emperor who was rumored among the literati at that time. One of them was that he preferred poetry. Not only did he specifically add the requirements for poetry to be written in many imperial examination papers, but he also included various famous sayings and sentences everywhere!
At that time, in addition to studying the eight-legged essays, the literati in the world would rack their brains day and night to come up with excellent sentences, because once they were really attracted by His Majesty, they might be entered into the wrong way and become civil servants who earn the official salary, and they would have no worries about food and clothing from now on...
