Heavenly Dao Formula Chapter 66: Shooting the grass to startle the snake
Early the next morning, the residents of Gaoshan County witnessed a strange scene.
I saw two people wearing alchemist black robes pushing a small car, hanging up banners, and walking along the market area, and they were shouting for clues about the evil things of the day before yesterday, no matter who saw it or Hearing strange things, even if they seem to have nothing to do with evil, but as long as they are abnormal or bizarre enough, they can be told, and no matter whether it is useful or not, they can be rewarded with ten copper plates. If it is considered useful, it is a hundred.
And what was in that car was a box full of copper coins.
This kind of good thing, which is almost equal to giving money for nothing, immediately detonated the enthusiasm of the people. Everyone flocked to the car and formed a big circle around the car.
"My lord, I have something to say! The king's house next door made an unusual noise that night!"
"My lord, I saw Zhang Mazi secretly carrying something up the back mountain!"
"You get out of the way, I came first!"
"I also know this, why do you monopolize this hundred words?"
"My lord, I am the next king's house, I really have nothing to do with evil!"
Various voices one after another, some are vying for clues, and some are vying for who said the same thing first. The enthusiasm of the masses is beyond imagination, and there is a trend of developing from verbal communication to zero-distance greetings .
"Get out of the way, everyone will avoid me!" Suddenly a group of government officers rushed into the crowd, dispersing the gathered people, and the head of them was the head catcher who led the alchemist to the scene of the crime.
"I have seen two adults..." Seeing the black robe of the Privy Council, he immediately reduced his voice and bowed respectfully, "I wonder what you are investigating?"
"What else can it be, of course it is evil." It was Xia Fan who answered him, "Why, should I do this to anyone?"
"Uh..." The head catcher glanced at the eagerly anticipated people around him, and said in a little embarrassment, "What do you want to ask, just ask them directly, why bother to spend more money. Now it's like this, I'm afraid Later, it will affect the smooth flow of the road. Moreover, if you want to investigate the case, you can go to the Yamen, and the County Cheng and Dianshi will definitely cooperate with you."
"I don't think they can know the situation in the county well. Besides, the things I want to know will not be recorded, so I won't go to trouble the yamen."
"But my lord, the evil spirit has been wiped out." The other party bit the bullet and said.
"But who can guarantee that they won't appear again? What I want to collect this time is any signs that may herald the appearance of evil. What, do you want to hinder the Privy Council from doing things?"
"How can I, the little ones dare not—"
"Then I will continue."
Xia Fan strolled through a group of government officials and shouted to the crowd, "Is there anything weird do you want to say?"
"My lord, I have!"
"Please listen to me first!"
Everyone soon gathered up again.
They all understand one truth, that is, head-catchers dare not stop the alchemist in the Privy Council.
So many government servants can't prevent me from getting this free money.
The same thing happened in the entrance area of the county town, except that the people pushing the cart over there were replaced by Wang Renzhi and Shangguan Cai.
"Brother Xia, can we really collect any useful evidence like this?" Amid the noisy voice, Wei Wushuang took the time to get to Xia Fan and asked, "Although there are many strange things, how about it? Verification? I don’t think there is any way to combine these fragmentary rumors into a reliable testimony in one day."
"It's okay, because everything we do is just publicity." Xia Fan smiled slightly. He didn't expect that the person who supported him the most to continue the investigation was Prince Wang. As soon as he came up with this idea, he immediately took the initiative to pay for the convenience.
"Promotion?"
"Exactly, so the questioning is not the point. The point is how to cause a sensation in the shortest time and spread the news of the investigation throughout the county."
"But just in case... I mean if it's like Brother Xia, you guessed it, wouldn't this be a horror?"
"If we can't see the snake, it will naturally be a waste of water in the bamboo basket, but if we can see, the moment the snake moves, we will expose our body."
"See?" Wei Wushuang asked puzzledly, "Are you here?"
"Don't worry, you will know then."
……
"Is this really what the group said?"
Hu Huairen frowned after hearing the report of the head-catching in the yali room of .
"Yes, I haven't changed the next word."
What kind of play is this again? How many new alchemists want to understand the whole story of the evil incident? Could it be that something went wrong in the Privy Council? Or was it because the death of two fellow alchemists made them want to do their best?
What an idiot! Hu Zhixian couldn't help cursing in his heart, how many times he told the two people to follow the rules, who knows there can be such a mistake!
Did they really find any clues?
, especially the phrase "What I want to know will not be recorded", I think it is meaningful no matter how you look at it.
Other alchemists can understand, why did the second son of the Wang family also join in? Does that guy know what his father does?
No, he has to write a letter to tell Wang Yian.
"My lord, are you... okay?" The head catcher asked cautiously.
"Nonsense, what can I do! Go down, don't worry about them anymore!" Hu Huairen returned to the desk and unfolded a piece of rice paper, only to realize that a layer of fine sweat was secreted on the palm of his hand. No...you have to be calm. The possibility of them finding the truth is very slim. It is even more impossible to ask the locals what to do. He has to write to the Wang family first, and then deal with the grottoes.
After explaining the whole thing in a concise and concise manner, he folded the letter and handed it to a servant outside the door, "Immediately give it to the King's Family of Jinxia City, and let their master tell him. Go!"
Then Hu Huairen walked to the backyard~IndoMTL.com~ and called his subordinates Du Mingjin and Du Mingyin over.
As soon as he saw the two show up, he wouldn't be angry. If it weren't for these two idiots, how could such an accident happen to the Privy Council!
"Are you sure you haven't been spotted by anyone when you went up the mountain on those days?"
"Master, we can guarantee it!" The Du brothers also knew that they had committed a big mistake, and they did not dare to breathe. No one went up the mountain at night."
"Okay, let me give you one more chance. Today, I will go to the grotto to get rid of everything inside, and then seal the door to make sure that no one can find it."
"But... once the stone gate is sealed, it is difficult to open it again. In case someone finds you over there again..."
"That's something for the future, you can think of something later!" Hu Huairen scolded, "I don't want to hear about evil people again until I don't know the attitude of the Privy Council. If I understand, just do what I said! If it fails again this time, I will put you two in too!"
"Yes, sir, we must do it well!" The Du Brothers nodded in a hurry.
"Go away!"
"Please wait a moment, sir," at this moment, a crisp and gentle female voice interrupted Hu Zhixian's words.
The two raised their heads, their eyes lit up.
I saw a tall and beautiful woman walking out of the back room, with a high hair bun on her head, her collar opened to the sides, revealing her white neck and half of her collarbone. She held a wooden tray for wine in her hands, and every small step revealed a sense of charm, but her appearance was as pure and refined as a lotus flower in the water. Two completely different feelings were mixed together, making this woman's smiles and frowns full of incredible charm.
