Chapter 727: Miscellaneous Notes on Mountains and Seas

After Desala's tragic death, the new emperor was established the next day. However, there was no grand ceremony to enthronize him. Desala's death was announced to the public as a result of excessive ruling, fatigue, occasional cold, and sudden illness.

The funeral of the empress was in full swing. When the coffin was transported from the depths of the palace to the mausoleum, Wang Qilang and Li Changxiao sat on the top floor of the inn and watched the scene silently.

Ten miles of white clothes, so spectacular.

Wang Qilang said: "This world is really not peaceful. I thought that the death of a top scholar would mean the sky would fall, but I didn't expect that within a few days, even the empress died."

Wang Qilang said: "That's the empress, so beautiful and noble, I thought she was a fairy from heaven, but such a person died of a serious illness and left as soon as she said she would." After that, he sighed.

Although this empress did not have great achievements, at least there was no major chaos in the Guotai murder case. Wang Qilang met the empress by chance and saw that she was as beautiful as a fairy and her face was flawless. At this moment, he heard the news of her death and felt very sad and regretful.

Seeing the ten-mile white clothes escorting the emperor out of the city. Wang Qilang couldn't help thinking that although the empress was dead, it was worth it for so many subjects to send her off after her death. On the contrary, if I died that day, I would probably die silently, with only two or three relatives waiting at the bedside.

I secretly felt that there were many unfair things in life. When I thought of this, I suddenly felt relieved. No matter how unfair it was, there was one thing that no one could avoid: people are born to die.

Li Changxiao looked into the distance and saw that the streets were crisscrossed and lined up, and the people were busy and all living things were busy. He remembered Song Zhuo's words before his death. At first, he didn't care, but now thinking back, he gradually realized the deep meaning.

Li Changxiao would not interfere in the affairs of Ximi. But the depth of this matter is far beyond a few insignificant murders and suicides. Behind this, there may be a shocking secret.

"The Extreme Evil Sect, has it never left the Green Domain?" Li Changxiao whispered in his heart. He grabbed the vines and swung down from Wang Qilang's inn.

Wang Qilang imitated him and did not take the right path. He used vines to block, but his body was bloated and his hands had a little less grip. He could not hold it steadily and squatted down.

He cried out in pain and covered his buttocks and said "ouch".

Li Changxiao pointed at his ugly appearance and laughed, and Wang Qilang was angry.

Li Changxiao had planned to leave. He and Wang Qilang had no relationship. If you insist on talking about it, Wang Qilang is the creditor and Li Changxiao is the debtor. There is no problem with the debt being paid and the person leaving. However, after getting along for a long time, I found that although Wang Qilang is extremely treacherous and a complete profiteer, his character is still good. Can he be considered kind after all.

Before leaving that day, I specially ordered three dishes, a soup, and a large pot of wine for a good meal. I ate slowly, chatting with Wang Qilang about neighborhood gossip, what I saw on the road, and interesting things. After eating, Li Changxiao patted his butt and wiped his hands, and waved goodbye as he walked.

Wang Qilang was busy greeting guests and ignored Li Changxiao. He only took the time to respond in his busy schedule without raising his head. But he also knew that he would never see each other again. There are not so many separations in the rivers and lakes, but you don’t want to leave me, you keep me from stopping... Most of them are to leave when you should leave, and to separate when you should separate.

Li Changxiao took out a small book and wrote down Wang Qilang’s inn. This portable book now has a name, called "Miscellaneous Notes on Mountains and Seas", which records various miscellaneous things, idle things, and interesting things.

Regarding Wang Qilang’s inn, Li Changxiao used a page of paper to write down the key ways to run the inn and the cunning ways of being a businessman. At the end, the comment said: "Although Wang Qilang is a country boy, he is cunning. If you open an inn again in the future, you can learn a thing or two from him."

After recording Wang Qilang's inn, Li Changxiao smiled lightly, closed the booklet, put the brush in his arms, unscrewed the wine gourd, and sniffed it. More than ten kinds of fruit aromas came to his face.

Ximi country is rich in exotic flowers and fruits. The fruit wine is mellow and sweet. After drinking it in one gulp, the sweet fragrance really enters the stomach and the coolness enters the heart. Li Changxiao has no preference for sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty, except for the bitter taste. He also drank sweet wine with relish.

He walked and drank, and walked for several steps. He covered the wine gourd and took out the "Miscellaneous Notes on Mountains and Seas" and turned the pages one by one. The idle things and miscellaneous things in it...like pages blown by the wind, one by one, passed through his heart. Finally, he turned over the "Wang Qilang Inn" and came to a blank page.

Li Changxiao's leisurely expression was restrained, and he took out a brush from his arms, dipped some black charcoal powder in the pocket of his right leg, and put the brush in his mouth. When he took it out, the brush was already stained with black ink. Such a scene is really magical.

However, passers-by were in a hurry and did not see it. Li Changxiao wrote a title "Ximi Country, Everything Has a Price!" on the blank page with his brush. He was writing something and walking towards somewhere.

Not long after. He came to a government office. The door of the government office was wide open. There was a stick guard on each side. Li Changxiao naturally stepped into the government office. The stick guard did not stop him and pretended not to see it.

Li Changxiao entered the government office, looked around, and roughly understood the structure of the government office, and then walked straight to the case library. If he went in and out of an empty space, there would be a lot of people in the government office during the day, but no one would pay attention to the white-clothed man walking around.

Li Changxiao flipped through the files and saw that there had been many suicide cases in Ximi country. But they were all minor cases, because Ximi country often ate fruit pulp, some people gained supernatural powers by eating exotic fruits, and some people were poisoned by hallucinations. In most suicide cases, the cases were closed as fruit pulp poisoning and hanging.

The identities of these deceased were different, including the families of emperors, princes, generals and ministers, and ordinary people. But they were all minor cases and had not attracted much attention.

If Song Zhuo had not passed the imperial examination, his suicide would have been a minor case. However, Li Changxiao read more information from it.

He left the government office and thought to himself: "The dead include slaves, merchants, farmers, officials, and emperors. Among the many dead, Song Zhuo's death was the most bizarre, but it was undoubtedly suicide."

"I'm afraid that the answers to many questions such as this longevity flower are on the way to Song Zhuo's exam. I already have a guess in my mind, but I can also go there once to confirm one or two."

Li Changxiao walked to the city gate. He walked along the way that Song Zhuo took to the exam.

(I suddenly had some free time in the morning, so I thought of taking some time to make up for the missing chapter.)
