Tonight is long.
Qin Huairou gradually found a state of cultivation, although she was occasionally agitated by lust.
But every time he opened his eyes, he could see Lin Wanjie sitting in front of him, facing him.
His face was not pretty, but his eyes were very clear, which actually made Qin Huairou feel at ease.
In this way, the two of them faced each other all night, silently, until dawn.
Qin Huairou opened her eyes again and found that Lin Wanjie was already drowsy.
"You're done practicing, let's go and rest."
Lin Wanjie yawned, stretched, nodded vaguely, stood up and walked towards the thatched cottage.
Qin Huairou frowned and looked at her body subconsciously.
His fingertips traced the peaks, and his body trembled slightly.
Logically speaking, women who have practiced the Jade Girl Heart Sutra are more attractive to men.
The other party watched it all night, but there was no movement at all.
Qin Huairou put on her own clothes silently. When she saw Lin Wanjie's clothes, she hesitated and put them away.
After a night of practice, he first glimpsed the ninth level of Jade Girl's Heart Sutra, and his body was filled with a lot of true energy.
It's just that compared to the previous pure Qi, the extra Qi seems to be much turbid.
How much has your skill increased?
Qin Huairou was a little curious, so she pointed at it, and a dead leaf on the ground suddenly reached Qin Huairou's fingertips without any wind.
Then he used the skill of picking leaves and flying flowers that Lin Wanjie had seen before.
He flicked the dead leaves in his hand, and the thin leaves scratched the stone where he meditated last night, creating a streak of fire. There was a clear scratch on the stone, and the dead leaves burned under the fire and turned into ashes.
Seeing this, Qin Huairou nodded with satisfaction.
Unexpectedly, the quick method of the Jade Girl Heart Sutra was so powerful. In just one night, it was better than her year of hard training.
With joy in her heart, the corners of her mouth raised into a long arc, and her smile had a hint of enchantment.
Qin Huairou didn't notice it, but she found movement in the trees, and then she entered the forest and grabbed a White Lotus cultist by the neck.
The other party was startled: "Fairy, the leader is looking for you."
Qin Huairou's nails were already embedded in the flesh of the cultist's neck, and there were already some blood stains.
There was a strong urge to kill in his heart, which was suppressed in his body.
After a two-second pause, Qin Huairou let go and chuckled: "Lead the way."
The young cultivator was stunned. He had never heard such a tone from Fairy Lingbo.
Why does the cold fairy's voice have...a hint of charm?
"What are you doing standing still?"
"oh oh."
The little cultist came back to his senses and quickly led the way without thinking too much.
…
In Hangzhou, the activities of the White Lotus Sect have decreased a lot.
Lu Ming walked down the street with his men and was very satisfied with this situation.
Just about to speak.
A child bumped into his leg with a puppy, crying loudly.
The puppy thought its owner was being bullied and barked at Lu Ming.
The subordinates angrily yelled: "Beasts!"
He said that he was going to catch the puppy.
Lu Ming raised his hand to stop him, shook his head, then squatted down to help the child up, patted the dust on his body, and put his hand on his head: "Okay, stop crying, go buy some candy."
He spoke, took out two coins and gave them to the child.
The burnt half of Lu Ming's face was a little oozing, but he looked very friendly when he smiled.
The child was about to cry, but gradually stopped crying, took the copper coins, and ran away again with the puppy.
The subordinates were all a little surprised. It was rare to see Mr. Lu so friendly.
Lu Ming stood up, his smile faded, and he regained his composure: "I have said many times that when you are on duty in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all you do are dirty things. You can do dirty work alone, but don't pollute your own heart. Every one of you Individuals must keep a piece of pure land in their hearts so as not to lose their way in the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
The men's faces straightened up and they shouted in unison: "Yes!"
"There are a lot less White Lotus Sect in the city today. I heard that they have gradually begun to withdraw from Hangzhou City."
"The White Lotus Sect is quite knowledgeable."
"It's best to avoid conflicts. Jianghu forces are springing up like mushrooms after a rain. If one is destroyed, a new one will appear."
"My lord is still wise and powerful. If you listen to the prince and the prefect and let it develop, it will not be so easy to drive it away in the future."
"We should treat the Jianghu forces as high-pressure as Mr. Lu. They are all soft persimmons that can be crushed at a pinch."
"Okay." Lu Ming raised his hand to stop his subordinates from continuing to discuss, "Now that things in the White Lotus Sect have stabilized, we should start our own errands."
Speaking of their errands, a group of subordinates frowned.
"Master Lu, how can we check this? It's been so long."
"And since the other party dares to kill the imperial envoy, he will definitely do it flawlessly."
"We still don't have a clue, and the emperor's time is so tight."
"How to deal with the emperor?"
The six subordinates brought by Lu Ming can be seen from their conversations as newcomers.
Before joining the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they were elites drawn from three provinces and six ministries, and all of them were capable.
But they have not yet adapted to the logic of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Handling cases in ancient times was really not that easy.
However, the Metropolitan Procuratorate handles cases and can quickly find out the truth in any case.
Do people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate really have abilities beyond ordinary people?
No!
It’s about knowing how to weigh things better.
"What truth does the Emperor want when he asks us to investigate this case?"
The six subordinates looked at me and I looked at you, puzzled.
Lu Ming continued: "Then what kind of truth should we give the emperor?"
"Please give me some advice, sir."
"The emperor has been collecting evidence of Prince Cheng's rebellion. The Metropolitan Procuratorate has some connections with the Prime Minister's Office, and the Prime Minister hopes to convict Prince Cheng of rebellion. So, you should know what to do?"
"Are you blaming the Xiao family for the death of the Imperial Envoy?"
"Mr. Xiao is the old steward of Prince Cheng's Mansion. The Xiao family does not dare to kill the imperial envoy. Is it because of Prince Cheng's instruction?"
"But there is no evidence, and I heard that Mr. Xiao has died of the plague."
Lu Ming smiled: "That's not right. There is no proof, so what kind of evidence do you need?"
"Um..." There was a little man who came from the Ministry of Punishment, the youngest one. He had handled several cases in the Ministry of Punishment. He was surprised to hear Mr. Lu's words, "Sir, this... isn't this too hasty?"
"When does the Metropolitan Procuratorate require evidence when handling a case? It only matters whether the emperor believes it or not."
As Lu Ming spoke, he arrived in front of a restaurant and called everyone in.
As he walked, he said: "Write down the case details as follows and pass them to the emperor. Our task will be completed."
"So simple!"
"What do you think?" Lu Ming sat down and ordered a table of wine and meat. "Otherwise, I would have no time to take care of the White Lotus Sect's affairs? It's just a formality to make people think that we have indeed been here and investigated."
The logic of the Metropolitan Procuratorate's work opened their eyes to the six newcomers, and they all couldn't accept it for a while.
"Anyway, when you come to Hangzhou, you can eat, drink and have fun in peace. We will finish the raid on Xiao's house tomorrow."
