Chapter 160 "What's going on?" Jiang Wen looked at the virtual image in his consciousness in surprise. It looked like Ziyun, but with a bit more of a worldly feeling.
Jiang Wen was confused and couldn't figure out why Zi Yun's figure appeared in his consciousness or next to his held branches and leaves in her hands, and her expression was as if she were doing something.
After some searching, I didn't find anything special.
Thinking that what Ziyun did in the past few days was similar to what she had done in Tai Cang, so it manifested in her frowned a little in my heart. Maybe the manifestation of this statue is related to what it did? Without worrying too much about these things, Jiang Wen changed into another identity in the past few days to look for Su all, Taishen Palace is still officially official on the surface, and the information that can be obtained is more direct than in the dark.
After just a few days of getting along, he and Su Mu had already made friends and got to know each other well.
Seeing that Jiang Wen was interested in the demons harming people's lives in Su City, Su Mu didn't hide the first day he went to Taishen Palace, there was an uproar. All the disciples stationed in the palace were angry but dared not speak all, he is from the Imperial Capital, and he has too much power behind him.
The secret scrolls in the Taishen Palace were allowed to be viewed by Jiang Wen, and Su Mu even told him his newly discovered clues.
"The statue of the snake girl we saw in the cave that day was indeed this monster. I inquired about it and found out that her real name is Chi Jie, and she is a hermaphrodite snake. I looked at the hiding place in the Taishen Palace. I discovered that Su City had changed prefects a few years ago. The former prefect heard that Ming died tragically at the hands of thieves, and the current prefect took the opportunity to replace him. But how did Ming die after hearing that? Who did he die at? It's completely unknown." Su Mu said.
"I suspect there must be something wrong with it. If a magistrate is investigating the case, how can there be no monks to protect him? I'm afraid the matter is not simple."
"According to Brother Mu, is this Wen Yanming deliberately murdered?" Jiang Wen already knew about Wen Yanming's affairs. After all, he had met Wen Qinghong in the saying goodbye to Wen Qinghong that day, he took care of the madam and asked her to take good care of she is in a brothel now, she is not in any danger.
Although Jiang Wen can redeem her now, he will definitely scare the snake all, as Wen Yanming's daughter, she may not know how many people are paying attention to her movements secretly.
"Exactly, but I found out that Wen Yanming's daughter is still alive, and maybe I can get some clues from her." Su Mu nodded, and then put the case looked at Jiang Wen with a smile and said warmly: "I saw the girl's chivalry in Taicang City that day, and I admired her very much. I never thought that I would meet her in Su City one day. It is considered a blessing for Su. "
"When we see injustice on the road, we naturally draw our swords to help. What's more, in this troubled world, how can we, the monks, just ignore it." Jiang Wen said righteously.
"Miss Lu is so righteous." Su Mu sighed.
But at this moment, there was a voice outside the it was the disciple guarding the door who handed over the invitation.
"Sir, the prefect of Suzhou City learned that you were coming and specially prepared a dust-cleansing banquet for you."
Su Mu took the invitation and read the text on there was a look of disdain in his eyes, and he hummed softly: "These mediocre officials don't do good things, but they like to do such methods to please."
"Since I invited you to go, why not go there?" Jiang Wen said after looking at the invitation and thinking for a moment. "Maybe we can find something else?"
"Miss Lu, you just want me to go?" Su Mu frowned. He never liked this kind of 'm disgusted by this kind of , Jiang Wen's words gave him some ideas, so he was not in a hurry to refuse.
"Yes, there may be some unexpected surprises." Jiang Wen nodded.
"Since Miss Lu said so, I will go and have a look. Miss Lu, do you want to go with us?" Su Mu seriously invited.
"Okay." Jiang Wen agreed without hesitation.
When the time came, the two of them got into the carriage that had been prepared and headed towards the banquet venue.
The Su City magistrate's dust-washing banquet was held in a quiet garden. Before entering, you could see the bustle of cars and horses and noisy people outside the street. They were all rich people wearing brocade, silk and jade carvings.
The young ladies and gentlemen of each family were all dressed in bright clothes, fine silk and grosgrain, and were chatting and laughing while maids and maids who accompanied him were surrounded by clouds, and they behaved in the style of a wealthy Su Mu's carriage approaching, the guards stopped checking Su Mu's identity, he respectfully invited him in, and even lined up two guests to ask everyone to stop for the time a moment, all the young masters and ladies from all the houses were shocked, and they all whispered about who this person was, and how he had such great honor.
Jiang Wen looked at all this and couldn't help but sigh that the so-called power touches people's in the world doesn't like such a threatening sight?
Right and wrong in the world cannot escape the seven emotions and six desires.
When the carriage arrived at the door, the maids who had been waiting hurried stairs were set up and covered with silk and satin to welcome the arrival of distinguished guests.
Su Mu got out of the carriage, looked at the hands extended by the maids, snorted without interest, and stepped down as if walking on flat Jiang Wen followed him out and heard a smiling voice: "Master Su Xian, you are finally here! I feel really lucky to be able to come to the dust-cleansing banquet I prepared for the immortal master."
Jiang Wen looked over and saw an old man in brocade clothes walking towards him with a smile and stretching out his hands to greet Su Mu.
But Su Mu didn't give him face. He glanced at the old man indifferently, nodded and walked into the old man was not embarrassed, but followed him with a happy face, bending down and arching his waist in a flattering manner.
When he saw Jiang Wen, although there was some surprise and greed in his eyes, he seemed to be in awe after thinking of something.
"This is..." the old man asked.
"Surname is Lu, name is Xueqi." Jiang Wen reported his other identity.
"It's actually Lu Xia Nu!" The old man was shocked, and his expression became more and more respectful. "I have heard about Lu Nuxia for a long time. She can get rid of great harm to Tai Cang. Lu Nuxia is truly a heroine! I, Wei Dongliang, is the prefect of Su City."
"I've met Magistrate Wei. Your Excellency's words are truly exaggerated." Jiang Wen laughed dumbly.
"Nvxia Lu, please come in." The prefect came.
Several people walked into the garden amidst many complicated eyes. Jiang Wen felt like an emperor walking into the Winter Palace to ascend the were powerful people in Su City on both sides of the road, but at this moment they could only stand aside and watch them walk towards the garden.
Walking to the deepest part of the Jingyuan, there are flowing water, melodious singing and dancing.
The table is covered with cloth, and dignitaries gather here.
When they saw Su Mu coming, they all expressed flattering wanted to put their faces against the soles of Su Mu's feet so that they could lick the special envoy from the imperial capital and feel comfortable.
"The people of Su City are eager to see the Immortal Master come. Seeing him today is truly a lifetime blessing."
After Su Mu and Jiang Wen sat down, the prefect raised his glass in toast.
The banquet suddenly became lively, and everyone stood up to toast Su Mu.
At this moment, Jiang Wen and others became the center of attention.
