Chapter 43: The Vision of Liuyue Lake

"Lord Hui, five people died at the south gate, three civilians who returned from the city, and the remaining two were subordinates of the Zhang family in Dongcheng who went out of the city to do business. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the deceased's face was as usual, there was no trace of scars on his body, the only abnormality was the place of death, which was about 100 meters away from the city gate, and his subordinates had ordered people to close the south gate and prohibit people from entering and leaving. "The person in charge of the investigation at the south gate is the county magistrate of Qingyuan County, who immediately took the lead in standing up and answering when he heard the county order's inquiry.

The rest of the people glanced at each other, stood up in unison, and replied, "Where the subordinates are responsible, the results of the county lieutenant Zhang are generally similar. ”

Wang Cheng swept the clear beard on his chin, and his brows were tightly twisted together. "Judging from the investigation, it seems that our Qingyuan County has been blocked by something all of a sudden, and we are only allowed to enter and not to go out, which is very weird. Let's talk about what the hell is going on. ”

Although he was asking everyone, Wang Cheng's eyes were on Gai Yuanzhen, the director of the notary department, everyone knew that the notary department of the past dynasties was from the Tianji Pavilion of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he had many imperial secrets.

Gai Yuanzhen's face was heavy, and he twisted the beard under his chin and groaned slightly, "According to the field investigation and the records of the secret scroll of the Heavenly Machine Pavilion, this matter is very similar to the Nine Yin Soul Locking Array in ancient times. Fortunately, the people who arranged this formation seemed unwilling to rush to exterminate, but only blocked the internal and external traffic, as long as they did not go out blindly, there would be no danger for the time being. ”

"Nine Yin Soul Locking Array!"

Several people looked at each other blankly, but they hadn't heard of it. Although the Nine Yin Soul Locking Array was famous in ancient times, it had long been submerged in history with the light of time, and there were only fragmented records in some confidential archives of the imperial court and the classics of the sect kept by those super forces that had been inherited for a long time, and ordinary people had not heard of it at all.

"This array is extremely powerful, unpredictable, we must not act rashly, subordinates suggest, we should sit back and watch the changes, it is better to wait for the support of the imperial court." Gai Yuanzhen saw that several people were confused, lest he not attract their attention, so he couldn't help but reiterate half-suggestively and half-admonished.

There are no fools here, even if Gai Yuanzhen doesn't tell them, these people can see that this matter is weird beyond their daily cognition, how dare they act rashly. At this time, when he heard this, he nodded even more, and even Wang Chengdu thought so, looking at Gai Yuanzhen's chubby black face with a look of hope, "Director Gai has already sent a message to the court asking for help?" ”

"I sent it, but I can't send it." Gai Yuanzhen's chubby face looked even darker. Wang Cheng sat down with all his heart, if the people in the notary office couldn't send the news, let alone other people's.

"However, in accordance with the regulations, our notary department will report the situation in the jurisdiction in the middle of each month, and I hope that the headquarters can discover our abnormality here as soon as possible and send special personnel to investigate." Gai Yuanzhen let out a long sigh, although he said so, but he himself knew that it was too late, it was only the seventh day of the ninth month, and there were still eight days before the middle of the month, and when the headquarters found that the two places could not connect the news, and then sent personnel over, it was too late at all, and I was afraid that it would be too late at that time. I'm afraid that's what those people were talking about. However, this remark gave others a little comfort, and it is better to have hope than no hope.

Li family compound.

The old lady gently tapped the rattan cane in her hand, and the cane struck the pebbles of the path with a crisp crashing sound.

"How's it going in our yard?"

"Back to the old lady, it's okay in our courtyard, there is no escape, but now everyone is panicking, I hope the old lady will go back as soon as possible to take charge of the overall situation." Ju'er, who had just rushed over, hurriedly replied.

As the old lady's personal maidservant, and Chunlan are almost the eyes and ears of the old lady, as soon as today's incident came out, Qiu Ju found the old lady as soon as possible and reported the situation.

"yes, I see. You go back, let everyone not panic, there is such a big thing in the county, the imperial court will naturally not ignore it, and will definitely send someone to solve it, so that everyone can wait with relief. The old lady turned around as she spoke, "Lan'er, you stay and accompany the old man to the ancestral shrine to have a look." ”

"Yes, old lady!"

Who knew that not far after he walked out, he met Li Chen and Wang San who hurried back from the old lady's nursing home.

"Grandmother!"

This old lady is really hard to find, she is so old that she doesn't cultivate herself in her yard, and she still wanders around, Li Chen couldn't help but complain secretly. This guy has worked a lot hard to find the old lady, if it weren't for Wang San's reminder, the old lady might have gone to the ancestral hall, and it is estimated that he would have to look for it for a while.

"Chen'er, why didn't you go to the ancestral shrine to think about it, but found it here?" The old lady stopped and asked, leaning on a cane.

No matter how much life you face the wall, you have to explain it, and you still face the wall! Li Chen secretly complained in his heart, but he had to hold back his temperament and said in a deep voice, "Has grandmother ever heard about the outside?" ”

"You mean someone died outside the city?"

Sister, knowing that you are still so calm, are you really stupid or pretending to be stupid.

Li Chen couldn't hold back any longer, waved his hand to let Wang San and Chunlan retreat, Chunlan looked up at the old lady, and saw that the old lady bowed slightly, so she squatted down and saluted, and then retreated cautiously. Lao Tzu didn't have time to play peek-a-boo with you, so Li Chen decided to go straight to the old lady.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw Liu Er carrying a lunch box and running over from the corner. Before the person arrived, the voice of the male duck who lived alone came over, "Childe-childe-"

Li Chen couldn't help frowning slightly, where is the usual cleverness of this guy, can't you see that this son has something to talk about now! When he came to him, Liu Er didn't care about Li Chen's ugly face, and hurriedly bent down to give the old lady a big salute, taking the opportunity to breathe a sigh of relief. "Old lady, childe, something strange happened again!"

"Something strange again?" When Li Chen heard this, he chuckled in his heart, and had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Liuyue Lake - Liuyue Lake is now full of dead fish, all frozen to death!"

It's only September, and although it's already cold in the morning and evening, it's noon, the warmest time of the day, how can you freeze the fish to death? What's more, this Liuyue Lake never freezes all year round, even in the cold winter season, you can see the lake fish playing on the water surface, and the fish suddenly freeze to death at this time! Is this man-made or abrupt?

Li Chen suddenly had a premonition that something big was bad. We must talk openly and honestly with the old lady immediately, and if we delay, I am afraid it will be too late.
