the emperor's man catches ghosts

Rumors spread that night, and Xiao Changli's reputation in Shiying became even worse.People secretly say that Shao Yuanyuan is a real villain and he is a hypocrite.Xiao Changli acted as if he had never heard of it, and only did what a parent should do.

Unconsciously, the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, all kinds of moon cakes are on sale, the people reunite to enjoy the moon, the long-silent market is also lively, and the streets are full of bright lanterns, comparable to the bright moon.

Xiao Changli had to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival alone, and when it was dark, no one brought him a plate of mooncakes.

He stood in the courtyard and admired the bright moon alone, looking back at the past, the prosperity of the past disappeared like clouds and smoke.He is not nostalgic, only sighs that things are right and people are wrong.

A figure approached gently, Xiao Changli turned his head to look, and saw that it was that maid again, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

"My lord...this is a moon cake made by this servant, my lord...if you don't dislike it..." The little maid was still young and had never seen the world. She secretly had feelings for this lord, but she was in awe too much.Hearing that he had molested herself, she didn't have the impression, she just felt that with his appearance and bearing, he shouldn't do such a thing.

What's more, even if it is really done, there is nothing wrong with it.

Seeing him alone at this time, she couldn't bear it, and brought the moon cakes she made herself, thinking that it would be great if she could watch the moon with him.

Xiao Changli didn't appreciate it, and said flatly, "No need, I don't like sweets."

The servant girl lowered her head and bit her lip, and had no choice but to leave with the plate.She knew that this young adult was unsmiling and difficult to get close to. After thinking about it for a long time, he might be able to find his good side. Even if he couldn't, it was enough to see him often.Unexpectedly, within a few days, an imperial decree came from the palace, she didn't understand what it said, only that this lord was about to be promoted and left Shi Ying.

After receiving the imperial edict, Xiao Changli's face was calm, without any emotion.Liu Yuanzhi and the others secretly chewed their tongues, saying that he had clearly done nothing, so how could he be dedicated and loyal to the day?

Sure enough, he has a background and a connection, and he was promoted back to the third-rank Dali Siqing after this promotion. The county magistrate of the affectionate family is just here for fun, and he throws it away when he has enough fun.

Several people were envious and jealous for a while, but Mingli still talked and laughed at Yan Yan, who was happy and held a banquet for Xiao Changli.

Dozens of Ouchi guards also came along with the palace officials who passed the decree, saying that they would personally protect Xiao Changli when he went to Beijing to take up his post and arrive as soon as possible.However, Xiao Changli said that he would wait until the next magistrate arrives and make a handover before he can leave.

As if he knew what he was thinking, the successor county magistrate would arrive soon. He was quite knowledgeable and insightful, and he was full of ambition to reform Shiying, a poor county.

In order for him to return to Beijing with peace of mind, Yun Yu has already arranged everything properly.

Xiao Changli packed up the few salutes, and dressed as lightly as when he came here.

As the team drove away from Shiying, he looked at the calm and vast Kongsui Mountain, but the haze in his heart did not dissipate.

He knew that everything was not over.

-------------------------

Qianshan, an isolated village, independent from the world, has nothing to do with the world but knows the world's major events.

Few people come here, once someone comes, it is not easy.

On this day, two unusual people came here.

They walked into the entrance of the village at dawn, and the vicious dog sensed the arrival of the uninvited guest faster than humans, and rushed out barking.But the moment he bit it out, his throat was pierced by a mahogany branch, and he fell limply to the ground with a whimper, and after a few thumps, he became silent.

Susu pulled out the peach tree branch, shook off the flesh and blood on it, and followed Han Ziyu soundlessly.

"You have made good progress. It seems that you are quite talented. It is worthwhile for me to pass on the shock to you." Han Ziyu rubbed Susu's head in admiration.

Susu's face was expressionless, but her face was a little red.

In the blink of an eye, the wind was jittery.

Looking at the crowd of villagers who gathered around, Han Ziyu smiled leisurely: "Everyone, don't be nervous, Han has no malicious intentions in this trip."

A villager in front of him looked at him with a serious expression: "I saw blood as soon as I came, and I didn't see any good intentions."

Han Ziyu said: "The vicious dog hurts people first, if you don't resist, then my little brother will see blood, how can you bear it?"

The villager snorted coldly: "The loyal dog recognizes the owner and guards the house. The two of you trespassed first, so naturally you have to accept this gift."

Han Ziyu sighed, glanced across everyone's faces, and said coldly: "Do you have no shame in occupying the magpie's nest?"

The faces of all the villagers changed slightly when they heard the words, and they all felt a bit of oppression when they saw the smiling young man in front of them.

"Forget it, I told you to come out, there is a business to discuss." Han Ziyu returned to his idle smile and walked forward.The villagers didn't know his details, so they didn't dare to act rashly for a while, they just blocked their way.

"We are guests from afar, so you don't have to be so nervous." A middle-aged man in gray clothes came over with a friendly smile on his face, his eyes were slightly fascinated, and the light in them was dimmed, "I don't know what your Excellency said. What deal?"

Han Ziyu looked at him, and said, "It's a good deal for you and me to win together, and you only earn but not lose." He raised his hand, turning his five fingers slightly, and a white glow rose faintly from the palm of his hand, which slowly condensed into a sharp beak The long-tailed bird soared into the air with its wings flapping, hovering in the morning light.

Its wings are dancing like butterflies, and its tail is like flowing clouds. It sprinkles silver light in the air, and finally melts into the morning light and disperses, like a flash in the pan and hard to track down.

"This is... Wu Zhi?" The middle-aged man frowned slightly, and finally turned to greet him with a smile, "It turns out that a distinguished guest has arrived, so please forgive me for my poor hospitality. I thank you, I don't know what to call you?"

Han Ziyu smiled, and said: "It turns out that the Nanyue shaman was disrespectful and disrespectful. But unfortunately, your Excellency is not qualified to negotiate with me about this business."

Xie Mo was not displeased at the words, and said: "Your Excellency is right, but when it comes to qualifications, I don't know what capacity you are using to talk to us?"

Han Ziyu approached slightly, and said, "After the surname of Han in the previous dynasty, do you know if you have enough status?"

Xie Mo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "Enough, of course it is enough. This way please."

The two followed Xie Mo into the village, and the surrounding villagers were silent, staring at them like wolves and tigers.Xie Mo said to a villager nearby: "Where is the young master?"

The villager scratched his head: "I don't know."

Xie Mo was speechless for a while.

He wanted Han Ziyu to wait for a while, but Han Ziyu walked towards the dense forest behind the village.

What is there in that place Xie Mo knows very well, and Han Ziyu must also know very well.

An old man with a stick came out, looked at Han Ziyu's back and said, "Do you want to stop him?"

"No need." Xie Mo smiled, and when he smiled, lines of laughter appeared at the corners of his eyes, looking a little cunning, "It's a pity, I clearly have a shortcut here, but he doesn't want to know."

The dense forest was deep and there was no way to go, but Han Ziyu knew it well, and went straight in one direction, Susu followed behind him, neither of them said a word.

The sound of birds and insects all around made the forest even more dead silent.

Han Ziyu stopped in front of a huge tree that could only be encircled by several people, raised the mahogany sword in his hand, and slowly inserted it into a crack in the trunk.After a while, a hole slowly opened in the ground under his feet, which was covered by tree roots and weeds, and disturbed a black striped snake that was about to hibernate.

Han Ziyu looked at the entrance that had long been impassable, sighed slightly, and asked Susu to wait here, while she turned into a white light and swept towards the entrance.

This is the imperial mausoleum of Baiyu. Thousands of treasures and unwilling souls are sealed deep underground, silently waiting for the day when they will see the sun again.

Han Ziyu has never been here, and he was not even born when the country was destroyed and his family was destroyed.After many years of dormancy and bearing the burden of humiliation, even if the imperial tomb was occupied by others, he did not show up rashly.

At this moment, he realized how weak a person's strength is, and he needs an ally, even if it's just to seek skin from a tiger.
