Seeing the prefect talking to himself in deep thought, everyone was silent.

Such a big thing, as the prefect of a state, didn't even know about it, which shows that the people of the Black Tiger Village on the other side are not idle people.

Not to mention how the other party found such a hidden location as a place to stay, and even be able to build a cottage of this scale in this place, it is absolutely impossible to do it without top-notch reconnaissance capabilities and the ability to hide people's eyes and ears.

"Haixuan. The prefect suddenly called Ye Haixuan.

"Lord Prefect, what are your orders?" Ye Haixuan didn't dare to delay when he heard Lord Prefect call him, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"You go to find out, what is the origin of this group of people, and they can still build such a big cottage out of thin air in my Linzhou Mansion, the more I think about it, the more strange I feel. ”

The prefect is now worried about more and more things, since this group of people can unknowingly use the fireball device to burn down the food street with such elaborate protective measures, it is impossible to guarantee that one day they will burn down other places.

This time, the damage to the food court is very large, and many people have been burned, and there have been no deaths for the time being, but the level of such a disaster is already very high.

If such a thing is a man-made disaster and not a natural disaster, then allowing such a stockade to go down here is undoubtedly a time bomb for the Linzhou government.

"Yes. Ye Haixuan, who received the order, didn't dare to delay, this matter was a big matter, and a little delay would be a lingering shadow, so he immediately went down the mountain to investigate the origin of this village.

Ye Haixuan hurriedly came to the archives of the prefect's yamen and began to check the census record of the mountain villages around the Black Tiger Village, but there was no record of such a village in the archives.

Ye Haixuan thought about it, these people seemed to appear out of thin air, and began to investigate the reports submitted by various places, and did not find any case that described the disappearance of people in a large area.

Ye Haixuan looked through the case files over the years, but did not find anything abnormal, he only felt bad in his heart, and immediately returned to the mountain to report the results of his investigation.

"Your Excellency. When Ye Haixuan came back, it was already evening, and the prefect and He Jingjing stayed on the mountain for several hours and didn't dare to leave, thinking that if someone inside came out, they could also capture one alive to find out the news.

But the people inside seem to be self-sufficient, and they don't need to barter in the outside world, so no one has come out for so long, and He Jingjing can't help but be a little frustrated.

Seeing that Ye Haixuan was back, the prefect and He Jingjing both greeted him and looked at Ye Haixuan with expectant eyes.

"What are the results of this investigation?" the prefect asked Ye Haixuan urgently.

"My lord, I have looked through the files over the years, and I have not found anything abnormal. Ye Haixuan shook his head, and when the prefect and He Jingjing heard this, they were both shocked and suspicious.

"These people just appeared out of thin air, and their origin is unknown. If we hadn't entered that ravine to check, we wouldn't have known that there was such a place in Linzhou Prefecture. ”

He Jingjing sighed, this place was too secretive, which made her think of the Tiger Ben Army, which was also rooted in the depths of the mountains, for no reason.

"Could these people be beggars, who gathered in this place after being homeless?" He Jingjing suddenly thought of a possibility.

In those film and television works in the previous life, there are often such episodes: after a place has undergone a natural disaster, the original place of residence is not suitable for further living, so the whole village begins to wander, and after finding a place, they begin to set up camp.

"No, I checked the file and it didn't happen. Ye Haixuan shook his head, since there was no record of such a natural disaster in the file, it shouldn't be.

After all, once there is a disaster of this level, even if the people below do not report it, the court will know about it sooner or later, and the people are not stupid and will sue the emperor.

"I have a guess. The prefect touched his beard, and suddenly looked at He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan with a flash of inspiration and said.

"What conjecture?" He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan asked in unison.

"This place is hidden, and to be able to build a cottage of this scale without the gods knowing, it must take a lot of strength and hardship. ”

"And there is no source of these people in the file, so I guess they should be rogues. ”

The prefect's words are still very reasonable. He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan both glanced at each other, waiting for the prefect's next words.

"Now we are speculating here, I don't know how far away from the truth, instead of guessing like this, it is better to investigate again, carefully observe this so-called Black Tiger Village, and then it is not too late to draw conclusions. ”

He Jingjing and Ye Haixuan both nodded, indicating that what the prefect said was quite reasonable.

"My lord, I'm willing to go and investigate. Ye Haixuan directly asked for his life, and the prefect nodded with satisfaction and waved his hand, Ye Haixuan was puzzled.

"Naturally, it is most suitable for you to investigate, but it is getting late at this time, and you can't see anything clearly, so it is better to come and investigate early tomorrow morning. The prefect explained to Ye Haixuan.

Ye Haixuan and He Jingjing nodded, and everyone went down the mountain to go home under the order of the prefect.

Back home, He Jingjing's heart never let go, and she always felt that she had neglected something.

If the fireball was really set by the people in this Black Tiger Village, then what was their purpose in doing so?

Looking at the scale of the Black Tiger Village, relying on the people in these villages, it is impossible to form this scale in a year and a half, why have they endured it for so long, and they will set fire to the food street at this juncture?

The more He Jingjing thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and she felt a little incredible.

"What are you thinking?" Ye Haixuan saw He Jingjing frowning, and hurriedly asked.

"I'm thinking, if the fire in the food street was really set by the people of Black Tiger Village, what is the purpose of their doing this?"

He Jingjing could ask Ye Haixuan now, and Ye Haixuan didn't know how to answer He Jingjing.

After all, these people in Black Tiger Village can't have any grievances with the food street, unless some people in it have grievances with some people in the food street, and the status of these people with grievances is not low.

"Oh, I'm going to do so much, it's not too late for me to investigate tomorrow. Ye Haixuan couldn't see He Jingjing's sad face, so he hurriedly flattened the word "Chuan" between He Jingjing's eyebrows with his big hand.

"That's all there is to it. He Jingjing sighed, everything is waiting for tomorrow.
