In Kyoto, the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there was a prison.
Li Huaiyun opened his sleepy eyes. The sultry environment around him made his body covered with sweat, and there was also a rotten smell here.
He had a splitting headache and patted his head gently with his hand, "I drank so much that I fell asleep in the garbage."
However, when Li Huaiyun saw the situation around him clearly, he realized that he was being held in a dark prison, with thick and heavy iron chains cuffing his hands.
"What the hell is this?" He stood up abruptly, and the chains made a clanking metal sound.
Then, memories from the past flooded into his brain.
Li Huaiyun, a D-level monster hunter from the Monster Slaying Division, was ordered to capture a certain monster that appeared in Kyoto a few days ago. Unfortunately, during his capture, he accidentally killed a passerby.
Before that, the Demon Slayer Division had sent someone to remind him that he was just a passerby and did not need to be ignored.
However, he insisted on his opinion and disobeyed the order. Later, the government and Dali Temple conducted on-site inspections to confirm the identity of the passerby.
Li Huaiyun accidentally killed a passerby. According to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty, he would be exiled to the border area. However, in addition to disobeying orders, he would be punished for several crimes and should be executed according to the law.
Oops! This time I traveled through was beheading! This is a hellish start!
Li Huaiyun pulled the messy and wet hair on his head hard. He lowered his head and pondered, and reorganized the process of the matter. He always felt that something was wrong with this matter.
During the mission, I saw the passerby with my own eyes, staying at the code mark for a long time, and the person's appearance and physical condition were also very suspicious.
Why did he turn out to be an innocent passerby after the identity check and autopsy? There must be something hidden in it.
Li Huaiyun stood in front of the cell, holding the wood tightly with his fingers, and shouted loudly outside, hoping that someone would come and send a message to the person handling the case for him, and then check the body.
But after shouting for a long time, until his voice became hoarse, there was still no movement in this prison, and it was unusually quiet.
He turned around with a disappointed look on his face, leaned his back against the cell door, and sat down slowly.
After a while, there was a soft sound of footsteps from the cell door.
Li Huaiyun jumped up from the ground when he heard the sound, staring at the door of the cell. Is there really hope?
A graceful woman wearing a blue silk dress and a glazed hairpin on her head was walking towards him.
This woman has a delicate face, erect breasts, wide waist and wide hips, and her plump buttocks twist and turn as she walks. She is extraordinarily charming!
"Hongyun!" Li Huaiyun looked at the woman standing in front of the prison door.
The woman he called Hong Yun raised her eyebrows, stretched out her arm, and hit Li Huaiyun hard on the head with her fist, "Call me aunt! You little bastard!"
"Ouch!" Li Huaiyun yelled, touching his head and glaring at the charming and plump woman outside the cell, "There are no outsiders here!"
"No matter who you are, you still have to call me aunt!"
This woman, who was only more than ten years older than Li Huaiyun, was the concubine of his father Li Changqing. She had been admitted to the Li family before he was born. Based on her age, he once suspected that his father had a hobby of smelting copper.
The Li family is engaged in medicinal materials business in Kyoto. In the early years, his parents worked hard to take care of this business, working hard from dawn to dusk. With their precise vision and diligence, the business has been doing well. Therefore, the family is relatively well off.
However, ten years ago, his parents went to Luo City to buy medicinal materials and encountered a monster on the way back. The whole group died in the hands of the monster.
At this point, the family was in decline, and the family business also plummeted, and was taken over by other businessmen. That year, Li Huaiyun had just turned ten, so it was natural that the woman Hongyun would take charge of the family.
Apart from being his aunt, this woman's other identity information has always been mysterious. He also asked the old slaves and maids at home, but the only ones who knew the identity were the servants and maids who had been dismissed before. The new ones were just like him. Not sure.
What confuses Li Huaiyun the most is that his aunt doesn't know her last name. Most people call her Mrs. Li, and even her neighbors who are closer to her call her Hongyun.
"What did I say! I've advised you not to join the Demon Slayer Division a long time ago. It's okay now. Now that it's like this, how do you want me to explain it to your father!"
"How to explain? No need to explain. When I get down, I will explain to my parents myself."
"You!" Hong Yun was furious, and then hit him on the head again, "Look what you said!"
"Why are you hitting me again!"
"I'm your aunt, what's wrong with hitting you!"
Li Huaiyun had never gotten along well with the woman who headed the family, because she had always treated him as a child. In his opinion, Hongyun was just the right age to be his sister. His parents died early, and he was the eldest son. Now he is an adult. He should be allowed to make the decision at home, and Hongyun should also listen to him.
"You should have listened to me and studied medicine with me!"
When he mentioned this matter, Li Huaiyun became angry. This woman had been hiding the truth about her parents' death until one day, he overheard that the death of his parents was related to monsters, so he determined to enter the Monster Slaying Division, hoping that One day I can find the monster and avenge my parents.
However, Hongyun strongly opposed him entering the Demon Slayer Division without any reason.
In Kyoto, if you want to enter the Demon Slayer Division, in addition to the prescribed cultivation realm, you also need other qualifications. To polish these qualifications, you need to practice, which is a large expense for ordinary people.
After the Li family's medicinal material business was taken over by someone else, Hong Yun was the only one in the family. She relied on opening a medical clinic and treating illnesses and medicines to support her family's expenses.
Therefore, she was quite opposed to Li Huaiyun entering the Demon Slayer Division.
The two quarreled over this matter for a long time. In the end, Li Huaiyun stubbornly wanted to pawn the heirloom jewelry left by his mother in exchange for training expenses.
Hong Yun almost fainted with anger. Looking at the heirloom jewelry, she was extremely heartbroken and could only agree to Li Huaiyun's request. She would also pay for the qualifications polishing, on the condition that she would keep the jewelry.
After that, the two reached a tacit agreement not to argue about this matter, and now they are arguing about it again.
"Auntie, why are you bringing this up again? I said I don't want to study medicine, and I pay my salary every month. Isn't that enough?"
"If you don't know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are, your salary will barely cover a month's worth of food."
Before Li Huaiyun was imprisoned, he was a demon hunter at the Ding level of the Demon Slayer Division. He was at the lowest level, so it was normal for him to have a small salary.
"You little bastard is now in jail again. It cost a lot of money just to manage this place. Are you forcing me to go to the Jiaofang Department?"
Li Huaiyun glanced at this woman. With his aunt's appearance and figure, she might become an oiran there. Her elegant and refined temperament and plump figure would be quite attractive to any man.
Coupled with the wonderful medical skills of rejuvenation, which oiran from the Jiaofang Department can have such ability.
However, he didn't want his aunt to make money in this way, which would bring shame to him, the head of the family.
"You go there at your age and don't feel ashamed?"
When Hongyun heard this, she punched him hard on the head again, "Who are you talking about getting old, little bastard, I think you don't want to live anymore!"
Li Huaiyun lowered his head with a lonely look on his face, "In this situation, I have no chance to survive!"
Having said this, the originally noisy cell suddenly became quiet again. The two of them looked at each other, unable to conceal the sadness in their hearts.
"I have discussed it with your hall master. If I want to save your life, I can only work as an insider."
The insider information of the Demon Slayer Division means that Li Huaiyun will change his appearance, wander around the world, and go to various areas to work as an internal agent. From then on, he will no longer have a normal identity and life.
"I won't go!"
"Then you want to die?"
"I don't want to! Because I am very sure that there must be something wrong with this matter, especially that passerby."
"The autopsy and investigation results have come out, what else do you have to argue with."
Li Huaiyun disagreed, "The killed passerby must be a monster! I trust my own judgment!"
"You..." Hongyun's chest kept rising and falling with anger at this stubborn person, "Why are you so stubborn! Why don't you give up!"
"I will never believe it unless I perform an autopsy in person."
"I want to eat shit! You are a guilty person now, how can I let you undergo an autopsy?"
"So," Li Huaiyun spoke in a lower voice, knowing that he was being unreasonable, and hoped that Hongyun could think of a way to help him.
"Auntie, can you think of a way and help me!"
Hong Yun's face was livid, and she cursed loudly, "You little bastard, I spent a lot of money to enter the Demon Slayer Division, and now I'm doing this again. It's another money to get in touch with me. Your aunt runs a medical clinic, not a bank!" "
"You might as well be an insider!"
Li Huaiyun turned his head away, with a look of displeasure on his face, "Doesn't that prove that I killed the wrong person? I believe in my own judgment. As long as I am allowed to perform an autopsy, I will be cleared!"
Hongyun felt a headache because of Li Huaiyun's stubbornness. She rubbed her forehead to calm down her excitement. This time she came to see him and managed some money, which made her already thin family even thinner.
And asking the government to perform an autopsy on him in person would probably require more money, and might even be impossible.
take money! It is impossible to take money, and it is impossible to use money to manage things in this life.
Hong Yun's deep eyes turned. She remembered that when she was doing the dosing, there was something wrong with the way the county magistrate looked at her. His eyes were obviously full of desire! Maybe you can take advantage of it.
This little brat is so annoying, and I have to sacrifice my color to help him!
For so many years, the two of them have different generations, but there is no distinction between them. They can quarrel over trivial matters all the time! They seem like a pair of enemies, but their relationship has always been good.
Given this opportunity, Hongyun still wanted to give it a try. With a sullen face, she turned around and prepared to leave.
When Li Huaiyun saw his aunt preparing to leave without saying a word, he immediately shouted, "Auntie!" This was the only hope he had left now.
"Shut up! Let me think of a solution!" Hong Yun glared at him fiercely and hurriedly left the cell.
Li Huaiyun thought of the current situation at home and knew Hongyun's difficulties, so he sighed helplessly and had no hope in his heart. In fact, he was already considering whether he really wanted to be an insider and spend his whole life deep in the world. He would never be able to be like him again. Meet my aunt.
County government office.
Hongyun was sitting on the wooden chair next to her. He had a pretty face, bright eyes and white teeth, exuding a dignified and elegant temperament.
She nodded towards Magistrate Gao with a smile on her face.
Magistrate Gao half-squinted his eyes, and a special smile appeared on his face. He rubbed his mustache, picked up the teacup, and took a sip. His frivolous eyes were on Hongyun's tall peak. Looking at it.
"Mrs. Li, if you haven't already helped me with your son's matter, why are you still..."
