Chapter 76: Visiting the Zhao Family

In general, the news that Situ Zhuzhi got from the beggar was similar to the news that Situ Jingping got from Lu Xun, but the beggars gave Situ Zhuanzhi an approximate number of members of the Panlong Sect outside Yunzhou City.

After integrating the information obtained from the two places, Situ Jingping decided to visit the woman who was taken away and released the next day.

"Master Zhao, can you ask this official some questions about Ling Ai?"

In the Zhao family in Yunzhou, Situ Jingping sat down and said to the head of the Zhao family.

Soon after Situ Jingping returned to the inn, Governor Lu sent someone to send the files of all the cases related to the Panlong Sect to the inn.

Through the file, Situ Zhuzhi learned that the daughter of the Zhao family, who was closest to the inn, was kidnapped by the Panlong Sect when she was out a few months ago, and was released back a month ago, so he decided to visit the Zhao family first.

"My lord, the little girl has just come down from the mountain and has not recovered yet, I'm afraid it's ......"

The head of the Zhao family didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Situ Jingping's gourd, so he didn't dare to agree.

"The official just asked her a few questions, and the head of the Zhao family can also watch from the sidelines, and it won't have an impact."

It can be seen that the head of the Zhao family is really making excuses, but Situ Jingping also knows his worries, so he gives him a reassurance.

"That'...... Okay, two adults, please wait a moment, I'll go and call her. ”

After some consideration, the head of the Zhao family decided to cooperate with Situ Jingping, after all, he was a big official from the capital, or a celebrity around the emperor, and he couldn't afford to provoke him at all.

A moment later, the daughter of the Lu family was brought to the hall.

"The little woman has seen two adults!"

As soon as she came up, Zhao Qianjin bowed down to salute Situ Jingping and Guo Wei, judging from the posture of the salute, she was a very well-educated rich lady, but she looked a little scared, and her body trembled a little.

"Excuse me, please be seated!"

"Miss Zhao doesn't have to worry, we didn't have any malicious intent when we came to the door, we just wanted to ask you something about the Panlong Sect, just tell us what you know."

After Zhao Qianjin sat down with some trepidation, Situ Jingping explained to Zhao Qianjin his intention to find her.

"Ask, the little girl will tell the adults what she knows."

Hearing Situ Jingping's calm tone, and there was no domineering official as he imagined, Zhao Qianjin nodded and replied.

"Okay, Miss Zhao, do you remember what the person who captured you looked like?"

"Back to my lord, they knocked me out at the beginning, and I was also masked on the mountain, so the little woman didn't know."

Situ Jingping nodded, the people of the Panlong Sect were cautious, he knew it, and even Guo Wei couldn't find any useful clues from the Panlong Cave in Ziyun Mountain.

"Before being put down the mountain by the Panlong Sect, did Miss Zhao see if there were any new girls who were caught on the mountain?"

In the village under Ziyun Mountain in Dangzhou, those missing women are most likely transferred to Jiu'an Mountain in Yunzhou, as a person who has not long come down from the mountain, Zhao Qianjin may know something.

"Back to my lord, the little woman didn't see any new women who were arrested on the mountain, and the last woman was arrested two months ago."

Recalling the scene before going down the mountain, there was no new woman who was caught on the mountain, Zhao Qianjin was very sure.

"Then Miss Zhao, do you know what the purpose of the Panlong Sect is to take you captive?"

Situ Jingping didn't know about this issue, and Lu You didn't mention it to him yesterday, nor did he mention it in the file, but only recorded the time when he was put back.

"Back to the adult, the little woman didn't know, after she was caught up the mountain, she was kept locked up until she was released."

Recalling that he hadn't done anything for a few months after being caught on the mountain, Zhao Qianjin also felt strange, and suddenly thought of another thing, Zhao Qianjin added,

"My lord, the people who were caught up in the mountain eat a kind of leaf every day, and the taste is a little bitter."

"Leaves? Do you know what the leaf is? ”

Zhao Qianjin shook his head, the first time he saw that kind of leaf was after he was caught up the mountain.

"What color and shape is the leaf?"

Arresting people up the mountain is to eat leaves, this behavior is quite confusing, Situ Jingping feels that this leaf is a good breakthrough to investigate the Panlong Sect.

"Lord Hui, the leaves are not big, they look like wheels, some are green and some are purple."

As he spoke, Zhao Qianjin also compared the size and shape of the leaves in front of him.

"What are the symptoms after eating it?"

There are still many leaves in the world that match Zhao Qianjin's description, and they cannot be found by appearance and color.

"Well, after eating it, I was very confused after dark, and it felt very cold at first, and then it got colder and colder."

"Are there any other changes in the body?"

Obviously, even the well-informed Guo Wei didn't know what the leaves Zhao Qianjin was talking about.

"No, sir."

Thinking carefully about the changes in his body after eating the leaves, Zhao Qianjin was sure that there were no other symptoms.

"Then does Miss Zhao still know that there is something wrong or something wrong on the mountain?"

For now, any small detail is crucial to cracking the case of the Panlong Sect.

Although Situ Jingping has a lot of information about the Panlong Sect on hand now, in fact, there are some very important news in the European style, and he does not have a very in-depth understanding of the Panlong Sect.

"Back to my lord, there is also the fact that every once in a while, one or two girls who have been caught up in the mountain for a long time will be taken away, sometimes even three, and after being taken away, they will never return to the place where they were held before."

Zhao Qianjin said very seriously, she felt that the most suspicious thing was this.

"Then does Miss Zhao know what they were taken to do?"

Zhao Qianjin shook her head, "After those girls were taken away, I haven't seen them again. ”

……

"We are so grateful that Miss Zhao can tell us so many things!"

"The two adults are serious, but it's just a casual effort."

After asking the question, Situ Jingping and Guo Wei stood up and thanked Zhao Qianjin.

"Head of the Zhao family, Miss Zhao, we won't bother the two of you, so let's leave!"

It was not early, Situ Jingping and Guo Wei submitted their farewells, and they had to rush to the next family.

"I'll send two adults!"

The head of the Zhao family hurriedly led the way to Situ Jingping and the others.

Next, Situ Jingping and Guo Wei visited several families in the city where women had been taken captive, but there were no new discoveries.

"What do you think of Brother Ziwei?"

After returning to the inn, Situ Jingping asked Guo Wei as usual.

"I have to go to the village outside the city, and the women who were taken away are too weird."

When visiting some other people's homes in the city, they always felt that some things were hidden by them, especially the woman who was arrested on the mountain for a few months and taken away, flickering, and did not answer the question asked by Situ Jingping at all.

"Brother Ziwei has any clue about the leaves they are talking about?"

One thing is that everyone mentioned the kind of leaf that looks like a wheel, which made Situ Jingping even more determined to use it as a breakthrough.

"Not yet, I've never heard of that kind of leaf."

I also asked the doctors in the city, but they didn't have any impression of the leaves that the women were talking about.

"It would be nice if it was in the state."

Situ Jingping suddenly missed Murong Zhao, if Murong Zhao was there, things would be much easier.

"Let's get out of the city in the afternoon, the village outside the city is not too far away."

The village outside the city is indeed not far from Yunzhou City, and with the horse on its doorstep, it doesn't take two quarters of an hour to arrive.

But after Situ Jingping arrived in the village outside the city where the first woman was robbed, the situation surprised them.

In order not to disturb too many villagers, Situ Jingping and his party also deliberately changed into civilian clothes, but when it came to inquiring about the Panlong Sect, the villagers were all silent, and some villagers even closed their doors directly.

"Brother Ziwei, the situation is a bit tricky."

Looking at the empty village road and courtyard, Situ Jingping sighed with emotion that he was not prepared for this situation at all.

"Break them one by one, you can ask one or two and you can get a lot of news."

Situ Jingping used to go out to investigate cases, all of them were investigating big cases with great fanfare, and all the relevant people involved in the case knew that it was Shangshu of the Criminal Department who came to investigate the case, and they were very cooperative.

But this time it was only to investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the investigation of the Panlong Sect was just an accident, but the stakes were very high, and you can't ignore it when you encounter it.

But after all, he is a descendant of Situ Gong, and he still has his own way in the face of this situation.

Sure enough, a moment later, several people entered the victim's home without incident.
