Xu Xuancao only stayed for one day, and took the initiative to bid farewell to Bai Sijin.
The sky was in clear view through the courtyard. Bai Rujin slashed two long fingers and picked up herbs, checking if they were dry. Hearing that Xu Xuancao wanted to leave, he said in a very serious tone: “The medicine for your eyes needs to be changed every day, now is not the time to go.”
Xu Xuancao replied: ” I can change the medicine by myself. I have something important to do now, so I have to go back to the city.”
Bai Sijin turned around and said calmly: “I want to go back to the medicine shop. It’s just along the way so I’ll accompany you. Let’s go together.”
The place they went to is a suburban district. Bai Sijin asked the coachman to drive the carriage, and took Xu Xiancao to the city.
Ah Qing didn’t dare to follow, watched the carriage drive away by the wall, and said with his tongue: “The stinky woman must want to investigate that matter. Hmph, she really wants to die.”
Along the way, under Bai Sijin’s questioning, Xu Xuancao made it clear: The reason why she came to Anfu is to cast down demons.
Every ten days in Lin’an Mansion, there will be a bloody case, and the whole family will be sacrificed in blood.
The deceased was an ordinary citizen, his death was horrific, and his whole body was drained of blood.
The only surviving old man was already insane, shouting “snake, snake, snake” all day long, and there was a saying that that family was killed by snake demons.
It happened that Xu Xuancao ran into it by accident, and the green snake demon used the prototype to entangle a girl, spitting out snake letters, which was very frightening, and then there was a three-day and three-night snake hunt.
Bai Sijin asked, “Where do you plan to start the investigation?”
Xu Xuancao shook her head: “I have no idea for now, but the government is also investigating this matter. I plan to negotiate with them.”
Bai Sijin poured a cup of tea. After testing the temperature of the water, he handed it to her hand. “It seems that it will take some time to find out. I have a house in the city, so you can live there.”
Xu Xuancao drank the tea ‘till she reached the bottom of the cup and said nothing for a long time.
Bai Sijin looked at her drooping face, pursing his red lips tightly, wondering what she was thinking about.
He said softly: “What worries do you have?”
Xu Xuancao hesitated for a moment and asked, “You…why are you so kind to me?”
Bai Sijin smiled: “Oh? Is that all?”
Xu Xuancao said forcefully: “I owe you a lot.”
She doesn’t like to owe others.
As an inner disciple of the Guiyun Sect, the head disciple of the sect, and the existence of a humanoid weapon, she has attracted the jealousy of many fellow sect disciples because of her sharpness.
Except for her master and uncle, she seldom gets close to others; one thing after another, keeping a proper distance.
Bai Sijin was silent for a while, then suddenly asked: “Does my behavior make you uncomfortable, or is there something wrong?”
Xu Xuancao shook her head, “No.”
“That’s good.” Bai Sijin smiled brightly, “I don’t either. If you don’t feel uncomfortable, how about continuing to get along like this?”
Xu Xuancao didn’t expect him to say that, and didn’t know how to answer for a while.
After a while, the carriage arrived outside the government gate.
Bai Sijin helped Xu Xuancao get out of the carriage, and said in a low voice, “Go in, I’ll wait for you outside.”
Xu Xuancao nodded, and using the Taixu sword as a guide, jumped up the steps to the government office.
Although she couldn’t look at him, she could feel that the man’s gaze was looking at her back impartially.
Xu Xuancao concealed the strange feeling in her heart, and strode into the gate of the government office.
As soon as she entered, two yamen* servants stopped her.
(Yamen. The office or residence of a public official in the Chinese Empire.)
“Hey, it’s an important place for the government, and idlers are not allowed to enter!”
Xu Xuancao said, “I’m a disciple of the Guiyun sect, and I’m looking for your prison officer to discuss something in detail.” The
Two yamen servants looked at each other and laughed loudly.
The fat yamen servant pursed his lips and said, “Guiyun faction? I seem to have heard it when I was listening to books in the teahouse. What exactly are they doing?”
The skinny yamen servant narrowed his eyes and looked at Xu Xuancao, smiling: “You’re pretty, but it’s a pity you’re blind. We mentioned that the criminal offender is a famously handsome man, could it be that you’re looking for him because you’re interested in him?”
Xu Xuancao was still expressionless after being teased by the two: “Don’t delay important matters, get out of the way!”
The fat yamen servant was angry and funny: “What’s the matter with you, you bratty girl, hurry up, don’t delay your brother and I’m handling the case.”
The fat yamen servant stretched out his hand to push Xu Xuancao, wanting to take advantage of the opportunity by rubbing her chest. Xu Xuancao leaned over, grasped his arm with both hands, bent over and lifted it, forcefully throwing his almost 200 kg body over his shoulder.
The fat yamen servant fell so badly that his mother couldn’t even scold him.
The thin yamen servant looked at it stupidly for a while, and Sa Yazi hurried away: “Someone is here, a girl broke in.”
When the other yamen servants heard the thin yamen servant yelling, they all sneered, “What girl, isn’t she pretty? If you are beautiful, please invite her in for a cup of tea.”
The thin yamen servant panted heavily. “That girl is so powerful, come and help me!”
Lin Xuanshu happened to pass by, and when he heard the commotion from his subordinates, he frowned and said, “What are you shouting for?”
The skinny yamen servant saw the judge, as if seeing a savior, his eyes lit up, and pointed outside the yamen: “My lord, there is a girl…”
“Are you the judge?” A young girl in a green Taoist robe came slowly , eyes covered with white cloth. The delicate and flowery face is truly indifferent.
The thin yamen servant stared at Xu Xuancao, and said in shock, “My lord, she hurt the fat man!”
Xu Xuancao frowned and said, “I don’t want to hurt civilians, but he wants to do something.”
From the moment Xu Xuancao appeared, Lin Xuanshu looked delicate. His eyes were fixed on her face, and his thin lips moved slightly.
Suddenly, he rushed towards her with big strides and grabbed her arm tightly.
“You, take off the blindfold and let me see…”
