Chapter 26: Brush off your clothes

For the first time in his swarthy eyes, there was anger in his eyes, and Chitose understood it, and subconsciously avoided his gaze: "Naturally, you have to pay for something, is it difficult to steal?"

The boy pointed to the silver, and then to himself.

The money is his.

She wants to spend money, why not her own?

He has always drawn a clear line between himself and others.

The cat's originally erect ears were pressed very low, which meant that it was angry: "How can I put this kind of blockage on me?" The children are too short, and the height of the white cat can't look down on him. The cat simply jumped on the bed frame and said condescendingly and arrogantly, "Spending your money is to give you face! Do you know how many people have begged me on their knees with mountains of gold and silver?"

The boy also understood:

Chitose-sama has no money.

He stood there for a few moments before the fire subsided. The money has been spent, what's the use of reprimanding her now?

There was a sudden burst of warmth in his chest, and the boy was slightly distracted, and took out a wooden bell from the placket of his shirt and held it in the palm of his hand.

The wooden bell glowed with a faint green light, and under the noses of the two of them, the word "Zhu Lian", which originally seemed to be engraved on the bell, gradually dissolved into invisibility.

Is the mission accomplished? He didn't blink.

A golden light flew out of the lotus mouth of the bell, covering the cat's body and flashing away.

She shook her fur happily and narrowed her eyes pleasantly.

This is really a long-lost power! Although the weight is too small and too little, it can only keep her from falling back into a deep sleep, but well, it is better than nothing.

There will always be a day when sand gathers into a tower.

In front of business, what is the quarrel just now? She can forget it in the blink of an eye.

"Once this period of karma is repaired, the wooden bell will transform the resulting karma into power that we can use. "Every time it comes to sharing the spoils, Chitose is always in a good mood," I am willing. She pointed to the glass lamp, and then to the boy, "As for you, you're human, and you should use true power." ”

Sure enough, a little blue light came out of the lotus mouth of the bell.

"As the owner of the wooden bell, all your power can be entrusted to it for safekeeping. If you don't cultivate now, you won't need it at all. ”

A hint of disappointment flashed in the boy's eyes. In fact, he wanted to ask, if he wasn't a stranger, what use would this power be for him?

But he couldn't ask.

Chitose was instructing him, "If you want to host the power, you just need to say 'temporary' in your heart." ”

The boy acted according to the law, and the blue light in the lotus mouth immediately disappeared, and the wooden bell became ordinary again, as if it was a handmade ornament.

"Before you terminate the contract, this thing is in touch with you. Whatever you access to your true power, you only need to meditate. ”

After such a beating, Fang Cai's beam was removed. The boy packed up his clothes and held up the bamboo basket in front of the white cat.

Time is running out, and they have to go.

Even if it was for her to go down the stairs, the cat knew that she had a little bit of a loss, and she was going to accept it when she saw it, so she jumped into the basket lightly.

The boy had taken two steps with the basket on his back, and suddenly he turned back and laid down a golden leaf on the low table.

Such a small piece is enough for the two of the Liu family to eat and drink all year round.

He stood in the room and looked around, touched the bed he had slept on, and then grabbed the hat and left Liu's house.

After the rain, it was sunny, and in the corner of the small courtyard, a young bud quietly popped up in the crack of the ground, and no one found it.

The boy never looked back.

Yang Qixing was particularly happy today, whether it was the officials who ushered in the send-off, or the people on the road, they were all congratulating him on capturing the real culprit of the City Lord's Mansion case.

His face was full of red light, and he didn't know where he had been swept into the depression of the previous days. He only took care of a few official matters, and came out to report:

Pacification makes please.

Yang Qixing subconsciously touched his waist, and the jade pendant that was originally tied there was gone.

He stood there and sighed, stunned.

It was all like a dream, except that what he had lost was very real.

There was another urge from outside, and he strode out.

Standing in front of the officials from the capital, Yang Qixing finally didn't have to worry anymore.

It was rare for the appeasement envoy to put a smile on his face, and he praised him a few words before asking: "How did you find out that the murderer was hiding in the private house surnamed Liu?" and borrowed people from him to encircle and suppress him, which shows that the location of the prisoner is very certain.

Yang Qixing was very respectful: "Yicheng is a place of projectiles, and this group of outsiders can still hide without a trace if they commit a heinous bloody crime, and they must have internal responses if they avoid the eyes and ears of the city defenders." Even the accommodation is likely to be a private home. "The rich man Liu placed those people in the concubine's residence, but whenever the city defenders came to investigate, there were women to cover and deal with them.

"Then how do you know who the mole is?"

"The concubine and the maidservant have not been out since the city lord's mansion case, and the rich man Liu also sent people to send vegetables and fruits every day, and the portions are very large, not like two women can eat them all. ”

"That's it?" the reassurance envoy stroked his chin, "none of this is obvious. ”

"Under the heavy responsibility, even the slightest clue should not be missed. Yang Qixing answered sincerely, but he made up his mind in his heart and did not tell the truth.

The murderer was killed and wounded, and the one who was alive had no chance to go to prison, so the pacification envoy couldn't wait to take it away. This is not in accordance with the criminal law, but it is difficult for him to oppose the crushing of people to death at the level of the official.

This case is confusing, from the murder of the city lord's family to the sudden arrival of the pacification envoy, Yang Qixing only felt that there was another truth. But it was clear that the pacifier had no intention of letting him know.

In that case, he should not be in trouble, and the simpler the case, the better.

The appeasement envoy sighed, probably too lazy to be elaborate, and waved his hand to let him retreat.

When Yang Qixing left, he happened to see a person hurrying over and staggered past him.

It was a confidant of the pacification envoy.

......

The pacification envoy was drinking tea: "Have you recruited the prisoner?"

"Recruited!" the cronie's voice hurried, "but he said that the treasure is not in their hands!"

The teacup fell heavily on the table, and the voice of the appeaser was raised: "What!"

"The people of the City Lord's Mansion transferred the treasure before they died, and they have been looking for it, otherwise they would not have to stay until now. ”

"Taken away?" the appeasement made his eyes roll and look at him, "Oh no, the person with the treasure may still be in the city!

"Yes. The man went quickly.

The pacifier could no longer sit still, got up and paced several times before waving another person and giving a few commands.

No one noticed that there was a tiny, tiny spider hanging upside down from the beam. The thread hung down, less than a foot away from the man below.

......

That night, the city defenders went out again, as if looking for someone.

Yicheng is brightly lit, and the residents are talking to each other:

What's going on here?

Hasn't the City Lord's Mansion case been solved, and now what is going to be investigated, could it be that there is a fish that slipped through the net?
