Chapter 255 The Case of the Snake Fairy in the Black Market of Jiangnan 10
Palace, Palace of Diligence.

When Eunuch Liu took a look at the report delivered by the little father-in-law, he found that it was a report from Jiangnan, and he immediately showed a little joy!Because King Yi'an has been in the south of the Yangtze River for many days, let alone a letter from home, he has not even delivered a secret report or a report, and His Majesty has long been waiting for it!
"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Liu turned and entered the palace with the report, "The urgent report from Jiangnan!"

The emperor raised his head from a pile of papers, thinking that his son had finally received a letter, but when he took the memorial and read it, his expression changed drastically, and he said sharply, "Yuan Xiao was put on trial!!!"

".Yes!" Eunuch Liu hesitated slightly, and then ordered to act. He immediately arranged for people to invite Mr. Wu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Mr. Ji, Prime Minister, and Mr. Hong, a scholar of the palace, to conduct a joint trial of the three divisions!
The report was sent by Jiang Yan. He explained everything that happened in the south of the Yangtze River, including the incident of someone imitating his handwriting, and the disappearance of King Yi'an and his concubine.At the same time, after interrogation, he also found out that the mastermind behind Shibosi and others was Yuan Xiao!
Therefore, in a fit of rage, the emperor postponed all matters and immediately interrogated Yuan Xiao!

While waiting, the emperor couldn't bear to be anxious, paced back and forth, and suddenly remembered something, and told Eunuch Liu: "Send this memorial to the crown prince."

"Yes!"

Mingzhou, Duke of Wei.

Qi Yun paced back and forth in the lobby, and now, the Duke and Duchess fell ill because they couldn't bear the blow, so he temporarily presided over the overall situation.After looking left and right for a long time, I finally saw someone come back!
"Young Master Xiaoyu?!" He was overjoyed to see Yu Lingzhou appearing in the gate in a filthy suit!Go up immediately! "Are you injured? Lu Jiu can be considered to have found you." He looked behind the person who came, but there was nothing there. "Didn't you see Lu Jiu?"

Yu Lingzhou wiped his nose and said, "No. I'm fine, but it's a bit dirty. Elder sister must be worried?" As he spoke, he lowered his head and murmured like a child who made a mistake, not knowing what he was talking about.
"." Qi Yun knew that such important matters cannot be concealed, but he didn't want to say it right away, so he comforted Xiaoyu and took him to wash and sleep. All matters will be discussed after he has rested!

After he settled down in Yulingzhou and returned to the lobby, he happened to see Xiao Ren and Lan Xue appearing in front of the Wei Mansion dragging their tired bodies!

The servants of Wei's mansion refused to let them go because they didn't know them, so Qi Yun hurriedly explained and brought them into the mansion.

"how?"

After Xiao Ren and Lan Xue drank a few cups of tea, they both looked sad.
"." Qi Yun knew that especially at this time, he couldn't show the slightest bit of discouragement. While suppressing the anxiety in his heart, he asked the two of them to go down to have a good rest, and persuaded them to let the seniors and seniors take over. Successfully got the two of them back to the room.
There was silence in the lobby. Qi Yun stood alone in front of the door, and he dared to show a little sadness when he saw no one around. He looked at the gloomy sky and secretly prayed, "My lord, you must not something happened"

Clouds and mist floated, the sky was bleak, and above the East China Sea, far away from the hustle and bustle, thick dark clouds surrounded the unnamed island, and the stretching cloud filaments expanded like a net, covering everything.
Yan Mo and Qi Ying came to the vicinity of the cooking smoke point and found that there was a village on the island!
"Now, what should we do?" Qi Ling asked in a low voice, hiding behind the bushes, "They seem to be a group of aboriginal villagers, could they be enemies? Will the second brother be in this village?"

Yan Mo, who was also hiding behind the grass, didn't answer immediately, but just watched quietly. These villagers didn't communicate much with each other, but the dialect they spoke was similar to Mingzhou dialect, and there were many strong men among the villagers, all of them were tall and strong. He is not a martial artist with strong martial arts skills, but he should also be a person who is engaged in physical labor!

"From the time when the basilisk appeared in the sea to when we got into trouble here, everything is strange," Yan Mo warned in a low voice, "Besides, we are outsiders with martial arts skills, so we may be inappropriate to appear in front of them rashly. Hide back to the woods first, and come out to explore at night!"

Qi Lin was concerned about the second emperor brother, and wanted to act immediately, but in view of the previous situation, he felt that he should not be too reckless, so he hid back in the woods with the other party.
The two found a hiding place, and Yan Mo saw that the sky was still dark, so he tried every means to build a simple tent with reins and canvas to prevent it from raining.
Qi Lin watched the whole process, feeling very novel!Although the conditions were simple, he felt that it was really rare to get a safe place to rest!But when he saw Yan Mo take out the wooden bowl and put it under the canvas like a beggar, his face immediately turned dark!
"What is this for?!"

"If it rains in a while, you can catch some rainwater to quench your thirst." Yan Mo looked at the disgust on the other person's face, and said with a teasing smile, "If you hate it, don't take it when you're thirsty later~"

The pampered Qi Ying knows that this is an extraordinary time, and he can't help being picky, so he can't help but feel a little wronged: ". Xiao Wang has never been treated like this." If he went all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, it would be delicious and delicious. Be prepared, not to mention Lan Xue secretly taking care of her, admiring the local customs and customs all the way, leisurely and leisurely, she doesn't feel poor and pitiful.
But at this moment, he feels that everything is too bitter, not to mention other things, he can't change his stinky clothes, and he has to eat and sleep in the open. He even regrets chasing Jiangnan, thinking that he just has nothing to do and is asking for trouble !

".What? Homesick?" Yan Mo asked in a soft voice as he saw the troublesome man curled up into a ball.

Once Qi Lin's emotions came up, he couldn't help but shed tears, but he didn't want to be discovered, so he could only shrink into a ball.
"." Yan Mo had some experience dealing with her younger brother, she didn't say much, she got up and got out of the tent, looked around and saw a little sparrow on the tree, she flew and quickly caught it! !

After taking the sparrow back into the tent, without saying a word, she picked up the sob and was about to drop it with a knife!
"What are you doing?!" Qi Ying immediately stopped him when he saw it!
"We didn't have anything to eat, so of course we killed it to satisfy our hunger!"

"It's so small! How much it can fill your stomach!" Qi Ying snatched the sparrow into his arms and held it in his arms, feeling very sympathetic, "Don't kill it. It's so pitiful. It just happened to meet such a cruel person like you."

Yan Mo smiled, and said badly, "You've taken care of it! Otherwise, if I'm hungry, I'll use it to satisfy my hunger!"

"No way!" Qi Ling protected it tightly, staring at Yan Mo vigilantly!
Seeing that he successfully diverted the other party's attention, Yan Mo pretended to give up, but from time to time he pretended to grab the other party's attention. Seeing the Ninth Prince's interesting reaction, it seemed that he had nothing to do!

Until late at night, the two prepared to act after filling their hunger with fruits, and approached the village!

In the village, the residents all fell asleep and it was very quiet.Under the eaves of those simple thatched huts, there are all kinds of dried food, such as fish, corn, pepper, wild boar and so on.

As Yan Mo was walking, he took the basket in the courtyard, and also took a few kinds of food, and stuffed it hard!
"Don't take it, it's full!"

"Take someone, don't be soft!" Yan Mo handed a basket of food to Qi Yan, very immoral, "I don't know yet, how long we will stay here, be prepared, the more the better!"

Qi Ying didn't think so, thinking of him as a majestic prince, what kind of masculine behavior is stealing? !
The other side was still distressed, but Yan Mo fumbled to find the chicken coop. With her quick skill, she found three or four eggs in one go!
"Don't take it! You will be found out!" Qi Ying whispered admonishingly!Then!He suddenly heard a faint sound around him, and he stood on his head in an instant!I shivered! !
As the saying goes, a thief will inevitably have a guilty conscience!The more Qi Ling listened, the more he felt that there was something approaching around him.
"Hey! The rivers and lakes are reckless. Did you hear that?"

Yan Mo kept her senses turned on all the time. After entering the village, she only heard the faint breathing of a group of villagers, but she didn't sense the people with deep inner strength. It is basically certain that the fox is not in this area.

"It's just your illusion, don't worry about it! Let's go to the next house to see!" She had to change her perception in another place to search for the fox!

Qi Lin just heard a faint voice, like singing or wind, he hurriedly followed the other party in fear, trying to ignore it as he said!The more you don't want to care, the more you care! !As they walked, the sound became clearer and closer! ! !
Even if Yan Mo didn't pay attention, he heard something faintly!She suddenly turned her head to look at Qi Ying, and asked with her eyes, is that what you heard? !

Before the two of them finished communicating, the faint voice suddenly rose rapidly! ! !They were so shocked that they went cold all over! ! !
Followed by, there are gusts of evil wind!Make those houses creak! !The domestic animals jumped and barked wildly because of this! !The shadow of the tree is like an evil ghost twisting its body!Suddenly divided and suddenly combined! !It seems that a group of ghosts are about to break through the ground and gather to eat people! ! !

Afterwards, several lights began to be lit one after another, and the figures shook accordingly!Shouts one after another! !

"It's the Snake Immortal! Hurry!! Go out and worship!!"

"Ah! Quickly take out the tribute!!"

"!" Yan Mo quickly came back to his senses, and pulled Qi Lin to hide in the shadow of the house! ! !But because of being in the dark, the crazy singing that lingers in the whole village is even more terrifying, like a female ghost whispering in the ear!It seems that a mob climbed onto the body!It seems to be everywhere! ! !

Qi Ling has lost half of his three souls and seven souls!Sit still!Silence! !

Yan Mo frowned and listened carefully. The voice was a little round, like a human voice, with high and low pitches, like a musical score. However, such a loud and breathless singing voice should not be uttered by a human!
"Pooh! Pooh! Take out the treasure at the bottom of the box!! Offer it to the Snake Fairy!!!"

"Mother, I'm afraid."

"Master! Don't hide! The Snake Fairy is here again!!"

A group of villagers were awakened by the singing of the nocturne, and they went out with offerings and knelt down to pay respects! !

"Snake fairy, you have a lot of adults! Let us go, the whole village! Ahhh."

"Yes! Lord Snake Immortal, we didn't mean to destroy your god statue. That's a last resort. We have to live too."

"Master Snake Immortal, take all these tributes! Take them all!!"

"You keep these eggs! Keep them all!!!" A village woman kowtowed, and hurried into the chicken coop to get the eggs, but found, "Oh! Where are my eggs?!! Oh! My eggs!!! "

Yan Mo glanced at the egg in the blue beside her, feeling a little guilty. Then she listened to a group of people begging for mercy from the snake fairy, and integrated the cause and effect from a few words, as if the villagers destroyed the snake fairy in order to survive. The statue of the god caused the snake fairy to get angry, and then he punished him. He sang songs every night, and one chanting lasted all night!Therefore, these villagers will go to bed early! !
"The snake fairy. The basilisk in the sea. So it's all real." Qi Ying murmured to himself in a trembling and out of tune voice. This immersive feeling was so real that he was immersed in the image of fear. Not coming
"Troublemaker!" Yan Mo withdrew his attention, trying to shake him lightly to wake him up, but to no avail!Seeing that many villagers had left the house, she wanted to bring Qilin into the house to warm up, trying to isolate some snake fairy nocturnes, so as to wake them up!
"It's a basilisk. Does the snake fairy want to eat us or those villagers?" Qi Lin muttered to himself, letting Yan Mo drag him, and he didn't have the strength to resist
When Yan Mo walked into a room, he thought he could warm his body, but unexpectedly, when he looked up, he saw a huge white snakeskin! !There are colorful shimmers on it!Scary and beautiful at the same time! ! !

In order not to let Qi Ying really lose his mind, before he reacted, she quickly covered his eyes, turned around and left this room and came to another one. Fortunately, there is nothing scary in this room, but It doesn't seem like it was used to live in people.
She felt a warm wind flowing from the inside, and according to the feeling, she moved into the house with Qilin, and found that the inside was not only warm, but also had some embers of fire!

After closing the door, Yan Mo brought Qi Yan to the embers of the fire: "Troublemaker! Wake up!!"

As the Nocturne of the Snake Fairy weakened, under the call of one person, Qi Lin slowly came back to his senses, seeing the warm fire, he hurried a little closer!Ask for warmth! !

"Where is this? What was that just now?! There are really monsters on the island! Will we be eaten?! No way. I haven't found the second brother yet. Xiao Wang hasn't lived enough yet."

"Troublemaker! Don't think about it!" Yan Mo reminded, "If you don't do something wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door! Did you do something wrong?"

"." Qi Ying pondered for a while, then shook his head like a rattle!

Yan Mo looked around and thought to himself: "But this village is really weird."

Hearing this, Qi Ling uttered a wavy voice: "Ah?!" The fear that had just come down rose a little bit!Even the nocturne singing outside the house became clear again!
"Look carefully, what's in front of you?!" Yan Mo found a torch, stuffed it into the stove, lit it with the embers, and then took photos around her.
Only then did Qi Ying draw back his attention, looking at the large stove in the room, wondering in his heart: "What kind of place is this?"

"I'm afraid it's a workshop." Yan Mo turned around. In the house, apart from the stove, there are also various brushing tools, copper and iron foundry molds, various carving tools, etc., as well as rows of small benches, and baskets of fine silver. , two large boxes of silver ingots!

Qilin: "These are"

"Fake silver." Yan Mo said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect that the fake silver came from here!!"

　Because I want to simplify the officialdom, the joint trial of the three divisions here is not written according to the usual composition, but is reorganized on the basis of existing ones.
