Chapter 74 Waste Utilization

In the mysterious witchcraft art, there are naturally many examples of using live birds and even living people as sacrifices.

After Li Xiao learned about Linglong’s situation in detail from Zhang Zilin’s side, he felt even more confusing and confusing.

This Linglong is obviously very problematic, and Zhang Zilin should have been used.

Li Xiao suspected that Linglong should be a fanatic who had been brainwashed by Tantric since childhood, so he did not hesitate to use his own blood as a medium to implement the witchcraft technique.

However, there were only so many clues provided by Zhang Zilin, not enough for Li Xiao to reveal the truth.

It seems that I still have to go to the Royal Lin Yuan to investigate carefully.

If the Ming Emperor doll is also buried under the big banyan tree, then Linglong’s tragic death can be combined with the death of that Zhang San guard, which is enough to prove that someone secretly used the terrible witchcraft technique to harm the Ming Emperor.

Once the Ming emperor had three longs and two shorts, plus the position of the East Palace was still hanging, then the Dayin Dynasty would surely usher in turmoil.

In the last year of Jianwu two hundred years ago, Martial God, a wise martial artist, was persecuted by the witchcraft technique, which led to a major change in his mind and nature. In the end, the Nine Dragons seized the concubine, and the Great Yin Kingdom was almost ruined.

Of course, in the end, this was actually cheaper than Li Shiyan. He is the grandson of Emperor Chu, a compatriot of Gaozong. Under the banner of Qingjun, he launched a coup d’état at the age of forty-two. He succeeded in seizing power and ascending to the throne of God. .

In his youth, Emperor Hu did make the Dayin dynasty flourish, but in his later years, he attempted to refine the nation’s fortune for his own use, and thereby live forever.

When Emperor Ming, who was still the prince, looked at it, it was worth it!

Once the emperor father is immortal, how can the throne be his turn to sit?

So he did the same, and eventually seized power in a coup.

Li Xiao didn’t have a good impression of the emperors of the past dynasties, especially the Emperor Ming. In order to balance the power of the court, this servant pushed him out as an abandoned son regardless of whether he was indiscriminately indiscriminate.



But this does not mean that Li Xiao is willing to watch the Central Plains dynasty fall apart.

Therefore, Emperor Ming couldn’t die yet, let alone die from the evil of Witch Gu.

Li Xiao knew that he couldn’t find any clues after continuing to ask, so he changed the subject and hit Zhang Zilin sideways: “I heard that you are offering a reward of ten thousand taels of silver to buy the head of that lynx?”

This news was mentioned by Zhou Zhengyi as a joke on his way here.

Zhang Zilin’s face remained unchanged, and he replied: “My lord, you are joking, but an old man is a good citizen, how can you do such a decapitating business?”

Li Xiao smiled.

Zhang Zilin’s qi training is indeed very good, but it is a pity that the unchanging wrinkles on his old face have betrayed him!

If there is really no ghost in my heart, when I hear others “framing” him like this, he will definitely be shocked and angry, and even have a rough neck and a blushing face to refute to prove his innocence.

But Zhang Zilin’s performance was too calm, and instead revealed flaws.

However, Zhang Zilin’s purchase of murder and murder is actually human nature.

The government can’t make the decision for him, is it not allowed to spend money in private to seek justice?



Comparing heart to heart, Li Xiao can also understand Zhang Zilin’s feelings, and of course he will not deliberately make a fuss about this matter and threaten Zhang Zilin.

Instead, he wanted to facilitate the deal with Zhang Zilin.

The lynx had been killed by him anyway. Throwing the body away was a waste. It would be better to use it as waste and sell personal favors to Zhang Zilin, and he would get a bonus of ten thousand taels.

No matter how this transaction is considered, it is a big profit.

Of course, you can’t make this deal with Zhang Zilin directly in his name. What should be covered is to cover up, otherwise, wouldn’t it tell others that he caught the lynx at night?

After talking with Zhang Zilin like this, Li Xiao knew that the other party was actually a smart person, and that matter would be easier to handle.

Li Xiao smiled meaningfully and said: “The little lynx is making trouble in our human territory. It is indeed time to kill. It’s just that the timing is not right, and it happened to happen to the lynx’s mission to our Dayin court… But the officer heard that there was a few days ago. Rivers and Lakes righteous heroes were dissatisfied with the demon clan’s turmoil, rushing to the post in the night in a rage, not only injured Hu Mubai, but also caught a lynx.”

The lynx was really caught?

Zhang Zilin immediately became active, leaned towards Li Xiao, and asked in a low voice, “This is an old story and I have heard of it, but the government did not announce the assassination case, but suppressed the case. I don’t know my lord. Can you know the details?”

Li Xiao smiled without saying a word.

Seeing this, Zhang Zilin immediately understood!

There is no pie in the sky.

If you want the government to reveal something, you must also give something.

“My lord, please use tea, and the old man will be back as soon as he goes.”

Zhang Zilin hurried out of the front hall.

After a while.

He dared to rush back, sweating profusely, with a smile on his face: “I’m really sorry, I have kept you waiting for so long.”

“It’s okay, this tea is really good.”

Li Xiao said with a smile.

Zhang Zilin’s eyes were filled with spirit, and he asked in a low voice, “Dare to ask your lord, is that lynx dead or alive now?”

Li Xiao smiled and asked, “Does Zhang Yuanwai hope he is dead or alive?”

Zhang Zilin gritted his teeth, with hatred on his face: “Of course the old man hopes that he is already a dead monster. So, my little concubine can die and stare at him if he knows it.”

Li Xiao took a sip of his tea and said without hesitation: “I think this wish of Member Zhang will be realized. After all, the Rivers and Lakes hero is hateful and hateful. The lynx falls into his hands. How can he survive?”

Zhang Zilin’s breathing became rapid.

He understood the deep meaning of Li Xiao’s words, and took out a stack of silver tickets from his cuffs and handed them over: “Thank you, my lord, for speaking up for the old, and being careful not to pay homage, just please give him tea.”

Li Xiao curled his eyes at will, ten silver notes, each with a denomination of one thousand taels, which added up to exactly ten thousand taels.

This Zhang Zilin is really bold, and he is also very prosperous.

Li Xiao calmly took it and put it away.

He didn’t think this was ill-gotten wealth, after all, it was not a blackmail of Zhang Zilin.

Because this is a very fair deal, a deal you like.

Li Xiao smiled and said: “I heard that the hero Rivers and Lakes fought a monster cultivator near Xiangguo Temple, and even shocked Habayashi. If Zhang Yuanwai was free tonight, it would be fine. Go for a stroll around Xiangguo Temple, and you may have a windfall.”

“Thank you, my lord for reminding. The old man believes that tonight will be the moon in the sky, and the evildoers have nowhere to hide.”

Zhang Zilin’s voice trembled with excitement.

“Thank you, Member Zhang, for the hospitality. I have to deal with the important tasks, so I will leave first.”

Li Xiao got up and said goodbye.

Talking with smart people is really easy.

When I go to the place where I fought against Tiger Li tonight, and throw away the lynx’s corpse casually, then this transaction that can’t be displayed on the surface will be promoted in private without a trace.

As for Zhang Zilin betraying him, what should I do?

Li Xiao is not afraid at all.

Because he didn’t leave any handles.

What he said was ambiguous, but he didn’t make it clear that the lynx was murdered.

Moreover, Zhang Zilin is a really smart person, who can distinguish the pros and cons of things.

“Xiao Zhou, do you know the witchcraft technique?”

Ten thousand taels of silver did not relieve Li Xiao’s pressure. After leaving Zhang Zilin’s house, he suddenly said something to Zhou Zhengyi.

Zhou Zhengyi was so frightened that he looked around and saw that no one noticed them. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and reminded him: “Hush! Boss, don’t talk about the evil of Witch Gu, this will offend the court. Big bogey, those who want to commit crimes, and those who are serious will be pushed out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded!”

All right.

The witchcraft technique has indeed become a taboo in the dynasty.

Li Xiao thought about it carefully, and decided to go to the Royal Garden again tonight to find out. Otherwise, this matter is uncomfortable in my heart, and my thoughts are not clear.

“It’s getting late, why don’t we go to Goulan to listen to the little song?”

Li Xiao was ready to repeat the old trick again.

Zhou Zhengyi was full of spirits: “Boss, should you go to Qunfang Pavilion?”

Li Xiao smiled and said, “Whatever, you have the final say.”

Of course, Zhou Zhengyi missed Miss Lan’er’s delicate jade body very much, and said with joy: “Okay! Sure enough, there is meat to eat after the boss. Haha. By the way, do you want to call Lao Huang?”

It seems that Zhou Zhengyi and Huang Jiujian are doing pretty well, and they don’t even forget to say hello when they go to the brothel.

Li Xiao said in a huff: “Do you think that Lao Huang with old arms and legs can still gallop on the battlefield?”

“Hey, too. Don’t call him anymore. If you break your waist too much, then we will be guilty.”

Zhou Zhengyi said with a grin.

But now, after all, in a flying fish suit as a errand, it’s not good to go directly to the brothel.

So the two went back to the Devil Division first.

And the competition here has also become clear.

Mei Huawei’s deputy Du Bomei had the most number of thirteen killers, and finally got the rating on the second level, but none of this had much to do with Li Xiao.

Li Xiao then summoned Huang Jiujian and others, and gave Huang Jiujian ten silver ingots, and asked him to take the remaining brothers to find a high-end restaurant to have a good meal, and then he would treat his colleagues as a new official.

After all, we have to work together in the future, and we want to let our subordinates work for themselves. This mighty power must be established, and this kindness must also be given.

Don’t look at the tickets to the third floor of Qunfang Pavilion, which cost a dozen silver, but this is the gold-selling cave, the night life of the rich.

In fact, ten taels are a lot of money. Ordinary people do not have a balance of ten taels a year.

So even if you go to a high-end restaurant, you can just order food and eat until you are full.

Everyone is grateful to Dade.

After all, their monthly salary is only enough to support the family, and I’m afraid they won’t be able to go to a restaurant once a year.

After changing his clothes, Li Xiao took the dog-legged Zhou Zhengyi to visit Qunfang Pavilion again.

But it was still early, and it was too anxious to ask the girl to sleep with him directly, so the two of them sat in the lobby on the first floor and listened to the music.

It’s also interesting.

The delicate girls on the stage played the piano or danced, and they drew everyone’s cheers.

Probably a cup of tea time has passed.

Suddenly, violent cheers sounded from the crowd.

It turned out that Zi Yan, one of the twelve oirans, performed in person.

This is surprising.

Because generally at the level of oiran, they will only appear in the elegant hall on the third floor, and rarely on the next floor.

This is definitely a big surprise for the poor scholars who are shy but want to see the Oiran up close.

While Li Xiao was listening to the small song comfortably, there was a young man in Jinpao sitting in Yulu’s boudoir.

Yulu stood in front of this young man respectfully.
