Chapter 78 Initiative
Li Chuan listened to their conversation, feeling disgusted and just wanted to end this matter quickly. So after that, without saying a word, he followed Wen Guying's arrangement and went to meet the old woman and her little granddaughter.
They are still living in the inn with the caravan.
When Li Chuan and Wen Guying arrived, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue cotton coat and a coarse cloth belt, directing several boys to move boxes and cages into the carriage.
The man is a steward of the caravan, his surname is Zhang.
After noticing the gazes of Li Chuan and Wen Guying, Manager Zhang turned around. Li Chuan took a few steps forward and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Yes, we have stopped here. It’s been a long time, are you?” Manager Zhang.
Li Chuan talked about his identity and purpose of coming.
After saluting, Manager Zhang said: "Two adults, please follow me."
Li Chuan and Wen Guying followed him and walked into the inn.
"Are Su Niang and her granddaughter staying here?" Li Chuan asked.
"Su Niang? You are talking about Pan Ma, right? She left with us." Manager Zhang peeked at Li Chuan's face and added, "Xialin Village is gone, she is an old woman alone With a young child, even if you have some money, you can't keep it. If you follow the caravan, there will always be food for them. "
"What kind of people are her son and daughter-in-law?"
“Her son, Xiao Chen, is smart. He went to private school for several years and speaks politely. Therefore, the boss likes to bring him with him when dealing with literati. His wife is a bit shrewd, but she also has a good heart. . Unexpectedly, I got sick last year and died instantly.”
“What was it?”
"At first I thought I had caught a cold, so I took medicine and rested for a few days, but it turned out that it got worse and worse, and I died within a few days."
"Have you asked a doctor to take a look?"
"I originally thought of inviting them from the town..."
As he spoke, Manager Zhang took them to the stables, where a gray-haired woman with a child on her back was brushing the brush. horse.
Li Chuan knew that this was Pan’s mother.
Seeing them coming in, Pan's mother stopped what she was doing and turned around.
Her back was a bit stooped, and it looked even heavier and more curved with the child on her back. The child on her back had his head tilted on her neck. His face was a little sweaty, his hair was sticky, and he slept soundly.
Manager Zhang introduced the identity and purpose of Li Chuan and Wen Guying, and said: "The two adults ask questions, please answer them carefully."
Pan Ma agreed.
Could this be a White Walker?
That's ridiculous.
Li Chuan suddenly didn’t know why he was here, just to stab this miserable old man again? The huge sense of absurdity made him calm down.
He went over the whole thing in his mind, and he had a plan in his mind.
He said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quieter place."
Wen Guying nodded in agreement. The clerk who had been following them and waiting for their orders immediately went to the inn to find a private room, ordered them to clean up, and ordered snacks and tea.
Li Chuan glanced blankly, pulled Wen Guying aside and said, "After thinking about it, I think it's better to be cautious about this matter."
Wen Guying asked: "Brother Li, What do you think we should do?"
Li Chuan said: "The strange ghost has taken over the body of a village, and it must have a big agenda, and in what year did it start? There is no accurate statistics on how many people were included in the beginning. Although your senior brother killed all the people in the village, there may not be any fish that slipped through the net. Although I have the title of heir of "The Classic of Patterns", I have come into contact with "The Classic of Patterns". It has not been a year since "The Classic of Patterns", so my conclusion may not be accurate."
"Brother Li is very reasonable."
"Daozhang Wen is the senior brother of Sishen Palace. I naturally believe what you say." Then Li Chuan told his plan: "I am now an official of Qintian Prison. In my opinion, since this case It has something to do with strange ghost magic, and the suspect is a monk, so why not let Qin Tianjian take charge of this case?"
"Brother Li, are you going to take charge of this case?" Wen Guying saw it. Li Chuan's thoughts.
"I don't have much experience, so I probably can't be responsible, but there are many talented people in Qin Tianjian, so there should be someone who can resist this matter." Li Chuan's thinking became clearer and clearer, "The matter of the White Walkers is of great importance, and also I don’t know how long they have been secretly planning, and how big their plan is. Isn’t it right that someone from Xuanmen is in Xuanshui Mountain? Why don’t we ask a few monks who are good at soul arts to help?”
“Before? The reason why they couldn't find the abnormality of the White Walkers was because your junior brother concealed too much information, which caused them to investigate in the wrong direction. Now that they have a full understanding, they may be able to discover the truth if they continue to investigate."
"And it was all your junior brother's personal behavior before. The White Walkers matter is of great importance and may affect Xuanmen and even the fairy world. We can invite more authoritative monks to investigate."
Wen Guying couldn't help but laugh after hearing Li Chuan's words that the matter of the White Walkers was of great importance, "Brother Li is meticulous and I admire him for his meticulous behavior. Then I'll do as you say. Are you going to contact the Qintian Supervisor? I'll contact you at Xuanmen." Looking for someone? "
Wen Guying agreed immediately, which made Li Chuan relieved and a little surprised.
Then he asked: "Daozhang Wen, do you know where the door of Qintian Prison opens?"
"Directly east."
"Then please trouble Wen. The Taoist priest made one more trip to Qin Tian Prison to ask Miss Zhu if she was free."
Wen Guying laughed again and then responded.
Li Chuan's idea is very simple. He must not go see if there is anything wrong with Pan's mother today.
His current understanding of "The Classic of Patterns" is vague and purely based on luck. It's a good thing that he doesn't see the abnormality by then. If he wants to see the abnormality, is the abnormality really abnormal, or is it just a reflection of the past? He would definitely not be able to tell what kind of magic was used to cause the abnormality.
Then we can only expand this matter, and we must take the initiative in our own hands, and cannot be led away by Wen Guying, so we will talk about the identity we just obtained, and don’t involve too much. People who point high and low.
Zhu Qingyun’s sincerity will definitely not lie.
By that time, if Pan's mother has no problem, then Guan Zhongqiu will be convicted and killed, and no one will be able to save him in Spring. If there is a problem, there is strength in numbers and we can solve the problem together, and the merit is immeasurable.
Wen Guying asked the petty officials to inform the caravan that they would need to stay here for a while, and told them not to worry about the cost, and also arranged a residence for Pan Ma, grandson and grandson.
Then they entered the private room together.
The child woke up. Mother Pan broke the snacks on the table to feed her. When she saw them coming in, she stood up uneasily and almost knocked over the cup.
Li Chuan quickly asked her to sit down and said, "Mother Pan, we are just here to ask a few questions. Do you know the murderer?"
Pan's mother opened her mouth, with an expression on her face that she wanted to cry but couldn't, "I recognize it, is it because of me that this disaster happened?"
