Chapter 353
"It's actually enough to check here at the nunnery. There are many powerful characters among Prince Su's subordinates. It would be too dangerous to check further." Wen Guying said.
"I know, but I like to have a beginning and an end when doing things." Zou Jingping responded, "Besides, I am a general, how can I show my cowardice in front of Prince Su?"
"Just It should be like this." At this time, a rich voice came in.
Everyone in the hall raised their heads and looked outside, and saw General Chang Rimu striding in.
Everyone stood up one after another.
Li Chuan saw the sun hanging on the edge of the pillar in front of him and realized that it was almost dusk.
Unconsciously, they had been staying in the General's Mansion for almost two hours.
After Chang Rimu walked in, he asked them all to sit down, and then said: "Your Majesty's sudden summons to me is also related to this matter."
Listening to what he said, everyone was serious got up.
Chang Rimu did not sell the relationship, he said: "Your Majesty said, let me cooperate with Qin Tianjian to clean up Yashan County, don't leave anything behind."
"Clean up? What do you mean?" Li Chuan asked.
“We want to catch all of Prince Su’s subordinates in one fell swoop.” Chang Rimu explained.
Li Chuan thought this was a good thing and said, "That's good."
"But it can only be done in secret and cannot be made public." Chang Rimu added.
"Okay." Li Chuan said.
Chang Rimu said: "Your Majesty still wants to keep Suhan alive." After saying this, he turned to Zou Jingping and said: "Mr. Zou, please continue talking. By the time you finish speaking, the banquet will be almost the same. "Ready."
"Okay." Zou Jingping continued: "When I appeared in Qingtan County as a staff member of the general, Prince Su had already left the palace and was under house arrest in Beijing. The palace is in trouble. Although the time is not right, it is not too different. So everyone else thinks that the general sent me here because His Majesty's attitude towards Prince Su has changed."
"In this way, it became natural for me to track down the whereabouts of the servants of the palace. I found the officers and soldiers who were escorting the servants, interrogated them separately, and asked them where they originally planned to send the servants, and where they met the thieves and thieves. How many of them were wearing what kind of weapons, how many of them were injured, and how many of them were dead. Soon, someone couldn't resist the pressure and told the truth."
"Sure enough. It was the idea of a local dandy in Qingtan County. He said that these servants in the palace were obviously servants, but they had a bigger temper than their masters. They did not do anything, but they still wanted to eat and drink well. Prince Su was so annoyed when he saw it. It is going to fall, and it is estimated that the house will be confiscated after the new year. Instead of taking advantage of the officials who picked the peaches later, they should start first, find a few people to pretend to be thieves, rob them, and then sell them to Jingzhong. If we send people here again, will they investigate the lives and deaths of these servants? ”
"Being possessed by Soul Eater, it may take half a month from possession to onset. Therefore, my sister and the little maid were not possessed by Soul Eater on the day they were abducted, but... earlier . Could it be that those servants were possessed by Soul Eater, and someone knew when they would get sick, so they rushed to kidnap them before they got sick to avoid exposing them?" Li Chuan suddenly had some ideas.
"Maybe," Wen Guying focused on another place. He asked Zou Jingping: "Have those officers and soldiers received the money?
Zou Jingping said: "No, they said that soon , the dude disappeared. They remembered the thief's clothes and weapons that night, and felt something was wrong. They did not dare to say anything, and unanimously said that they had met the thief. "
"Did they reveal the identity of that dude? "Li Chuan asked.
Zou Jingping said: "Confessed. That dandy was the son of a local petty official. When I went to check on his home, his family was no longer in Qingtan County. But the people can leave, but the houses and fields cannot. I followed the clues to investigate carefully, and sure enough I found that his house was not far from the place where the servant was robbed. I took someone to check it out. "The place has been deserted, but there are still some traces left. Those servants were indeed sent here and then sent to other places in batches." "Zou Jingping said: "But after checking here, the clues were broken again. ”
"While investigating these matters, the people I invited also arrived one after another." Zou Jingping said.
“Who did you invite?” Li Chuan asked.
Zou Jingping replied: "From Orion's description, we can see that the secret of the nunnery is not something ordinary people like us can participate in. So I invited a monk, an experienced monster hunter, to There is also a monk who came to participate in this matter."
Hearing this, Wen Guying asked: "Which sect is he from?"
"They are evil cultivators." Zou Jingping said calmly: "I cannot disclose their specific identities, but I guarantee that they are all credible."
Wen Guying said: "The three of them went to a nunnery ?"
Zou Jingping said: "Yes."
"You didn't go?" Wen Guying asked.
"I'll wait outside." Zou Jingping said.
"What did they encounter?" Wen Guying asked.
Zou Jingping said: "They entered the nunnery and searched it thoroughly first, especially the chanting hall. Finally, the evil cultivator found the entrance to the secret passage. After entering the secret passage, they encountered the vine that Orion said Demon, they killed the vine demon and brought out one of them."
"Where is it?" Wen Guying asked.
Zou Jingping took out a tied oil paper bag from his sleeve, handed it to Wen Guying and said, "This is it."
Wen Guying did not pick it up immediately, but looked at it for a while wrapped in oil paper, and then said: "The way this rope is tied is a bit interesting."
Zou Jingping said: "My great ancestor used this binding method to tie various medicinal materials."
Wen Guying nodded, he opened the oil paper bag, and inside was a withered black vine. After looking at it for a while, he said: "Did you just meet a vine demon?"
Zou Jingping replied: "They said it was just one." He paused for a while, but seeing that Wen Guying did not ask any more questions, he continued He went on to say: "They reached the end of the secret passage and saw the floating spire. The monk found the way and they walked under the tower. Although the road was eerie and strange, they did not encounter any other enemies. The floating spire was dotted with Seeing the cracks, the monk said that he felt that the tower had collapsed, but there was a force that trapped every part of the spire in a specific space, causing it to still look like a complete tower."
< br>"After successfully entering the tower, they found that it was cut into many different time and space, and each time and space was full of constantly changing illusions. They did not dare to stay any longer. They leaned against the monk while chanting sutras and retreating, and finally He exited the tower safely. The monk told me that he had never seen such a place before. The Taoism manifested in the illusion was different from all the Taoist schools he knew. If he stayed there longer, he would Indulging in the illusion, you can never come back."
"The monk said that when he took them away, the blue light in the crack flickered, and he felt the light sweeping over him. At that moment, he forgot all about Buddhism and just wanted to enter the pagoda again. He said that the light can reshape a person from the body to the soul. "
