Gao Fangtai took the order and said: "Weichen obeys." โ
Duan Siying said: "Appeasement is indispensable, we must set up a pacification team as soon as possible, go to all factions to explain the truth, and control the disaster to the minimum." โ
Gao Fangtai said: "Yes!"
Duan Siying said to Gao Jie: "General Gao, the Yangfu County Ya bears the brunt, you and Yang Zhengxiong must take all kinds of precautions to avoid causing a bigger conflict." โ
Gao He commanded: "The last general will obey the order." โ
Duan Siying said to Gao Shu: "General Gao, you must try to disperse the government's decision-making and block the mouths of the people. Prevent traitors from taking the opportunity to expand the facts and create their own turmoil. โ
Gao Shu commanded: "The last general will obey." โ
At this time, the officials on the small hill jumped to the ring one after another, listening to Duan Siying arrange affairs, and no one dared to interject.
Duan Siying turned to the officials and said, "Your Excellency, immediately return to all counties and departments to control the stability in the territory, if any county or department causes turmoil, it will be interrogated in strict accordance with the law." Those who spread rumors and spread the facts and lead cholera will be removed from their official positions and will be beheaded. โ
The officials trembled with fright, bowed and received orders, vowing never to let there be unrest in their territory.
Duan Siying said: "What is an official, the parents of the people." You must not only ensure stability, but also use the right methods, and you must not force pressure to increase the anger of the people. If such a person occurs, it will not be spared. All the officials bowed and received the order, but no one dared to say more.
Ling Yunjun didn't know that Duan Siying was the current crown prince, but seeing that he could issue orders to many officials, big and small, his heart was suddenly uncertain. He was also worried about the safety of the Xuantian faction, Ziluo and Zixing, and it was even more difficult to sit still.
At this time, Yang Zhengxiong had already led people to pave a stone road to the ring, he jumped on the ring and knelt down and said: "Weichen's crime deserves death, please give the son the sin." โ
Duan Siying said: "Let's leave here first, and immediately lead the soldiers to block this place, and no one is allowed to enter without permission." "Head down the stone path.
Yang Zhengxiong commanded: "Wechen obeys." He got up and arranged for a while with the soldiers who accompanied him, and then walked along the stone path with the others.
Everyone passed the venue safely, got on the horse and rushed back to Jinning.
Duan Siying was puzzled and asked Yang Zhengxiong, "What's so strange about this place?"
Yang Zhengxiong said: "This place is usually calm and calm, the scenery is infinite, and there has never been any weirdness. It's just that the Shizhai Mountain, the mountain of Zuo Zezhi, is said to have been cursed, and the violator will die without a place to be buried. โ
Duan Siying asked, "Is it meant to infringe on the sword meeting here?"
Yang Zhengxiong said: "I heard my father say that many grand events have been held here, and nothing strange has happened. Unless someone violates Shizhai Mountain and is cursed, it will cause such a strange thing to happen......"
Duan Siying said angrily: "Presumptuous, this matter is definitely not a curse, there must have been a conspiracy." Be sure to dig out the real culprit behind the scenes and give an explanation to all sects. If you are talking nonsense about cursing, you are the only one who asks. Yan Bi glanced at Yang Zhengxiong fiercely, shook his head and galloped forward.
Yang Zhengxiong was stunned, didn't dare to answer, and walked forward slowly.
Duan Siying asked Ling Yunjun, "How does Ling Gongzi think this situation should be handled?"
Ling Yunjun also felt that this matter was extremely abrupt and fierce, and before everyone could react, everything in front of him had disappeared, like a nightmare. I don't know where to start, and said: "In the next straw man, the experience is shallow, and I don't know how to deal with it." โ
Duan Siying saw that Ling Yunjun's words were sincere, not like modest words, and he was a little disappointed, and said, "Childe's martial arts internal strength is unfathomable, can you help me investigate this matter thoroughly?"
Ling Yunjun nodded and said, "As long as the son feels that he can help in the next place, he will go all out." It's a pity that my mind is dull, I am unpredictable, short-sighted, and I am afraid that I will not be able to settle down. โ
Duan Siying smiled slightly, nodded, and said, "Childe, don't worry too much, just protect me." โ
Ling Yunjun nodded, "Yes." โ
Duan Siying asked, "Childe, do you know the girl who just saved us?"
Ling Yunjun nodded and said, "Yes, do you have any questions?"
Duan Siying said: "Dare to ask what the girl's name is?"
Ling Yunjun was dumbfounded for a while, and when he wanted to say his real name, he thought that Liu Tingting had told him that he was not allowed to tell anyone, and if he wanted to say a fake name, he felt sorry for Duan Siying. After pondering for a while, he replied, "It's called Ah Ting." โ
Duan Siying was puzzled: "Do you know how to call your full name?"
Ling Yunjun shook his head and said, "I know her full name, but unfortunately she doesn't allow me to tell anyone, so I have to make Gongzi upset." โ
Duan Siying smiled and said, "She doesn't allow you to tell anyone, so don't you really tell anyone?"
Ling Yunjun nodded and said, "Since she won't let me tell anyone, I naturally don't dare to disobey." โ
Duan Siying paused and said, "But if you tell me quietly, she will never know." โ
Ling Yunjun said: "Absolutely not, although Ting'er doesn't know, but I know in my heart that I can't get over it like this." โ
Duan Siying said with a smile: "Childe is so honest and trustworthy, it is rare in the world, and it is commendable. Ling Yunjun smirked in response.
Duan Siying stopped his horse and said to Yang Zhengxiong: "You lead all the adults back to the house first, and let everyone rush back to the county headquarters." โ
Yang Zhengxiong commanded: "Yes, the son is not going back to the house together?"
Duan Siying nodded and said, "Go ahead." โ
Yang Zhengxiong said: "But Weichen is worried about the safety of his son, how dare he leave first?"
Duan Siying said: "With Ling Gongzi here, don't worry." There are many evil things waiting for you in the city, and there is no time to delay, so hurry up. โ
Yang Zhengxiong didn't dare to argue more, resigned Duan Siying, and rushed to Jinning City with all the officials.
All the officials resigned to Duan Siying and the others before leaving.
Gao Fangtai said with resignation: "Childe, Weichen will rush back to Kunming to discuss with my father how to deal with this matter." โ
Duan Siying nodded and said, "Without further ado, don't delay when you go." โ
Gao Fangtai nodded and said to Ling Yunjun: "Brother, no matter what, you have to make sure that Ah Ying Gongzi is thorough." โ
Ling Yunjun nodded and said, "Don't worry, be careful all the way." โ
Gao Fangtai nodded and galloped away. In a while, only Duan Siying, Ling Yunjun, and Yang Huo were left.
Duan Siying said to Ling Yunjun: "That girl wants to be the young master of the Qiankun Sect, Liu Tingting, right?"
Ling Yunjun was stunned for a moment and said, "It turns out that Gongzi already knows. โ
Duan Siying suddenly laughed with joy and said, "This is my own guess, it's not what you told me, don't blame yourself." โ
Ling Yunjun smirked and said, "That's." โ
Yang Huo said: "Childe, let's go to Zaoyi'er, right?"
Duan Siying turned the horse's head, ran to the forest on the left, and asked, "The scene is the most critical, did Uncle Huo find any clues at the scene?"
Yang Huo said: "Almost none of the people outside the venue survived, and the traces left on the ground were more than scorched, thinking that the temperature of the human body was extremely high when it turned into smoke and disappeared." There were no such traces in the dry area of the venue, and it was obvious that the traitors had played poisonous smoke and captured them. The men in black who were killed on the hill turned into smoke and disappeared without leaving a trace, cutting off clues. The white powder left in the field is exactly the same as that left behind when the Jianghu people were captured some time ago, and it must have been done by a group of people. The water in the damp field seeped out of the ground from the ground, and there were still traces of multiple outlets. In the face of many doubts, I think the key is in the water that overflows the ground. โ
Duan Siying said: "Water overflowing the ground?"
Yang Huo nodded and said, "Exactly, the traces of people who have disappeared from the smoke are only left in the places where there is water invading and wet, and there are no dry places." It shows that there must be a poison in these waters, which can make people innocent turn into smoke and die without a trace. โ
Ling Yunjun listened to the conversation between the two of them, and the guards around him seemed to have the slightest murderous aura that could not escape his intuition.
Duan Siying said: "Is there such a strange poison in the world?"
Yang Huo said: "I have also thought about it for a long time, it may be the reason for not going into the rivers and lakes, and I still can't think of whether there will be this kind of poison." But since we saw it with our own eyes, we can't be wrong, we just don't know. โ
Duan Siying pondered for a while and asked, "Do you have any samples of wet soil and white powder?"
Yang Huo said: "I have already brought it." โ
Duan Siying said: "Store it carefully, don't mistakenly get poisonous." โ
Yang Huo nodded and said, "Childe rest assured." The two of them stopped talking, and both fell into deep thought and moved forward silently.
A figure swept over and landed in front of the three people, it was Yang Rui.
Duan Siying couldn't wait to ask, "Have you caught up with them?"
Yang Rui jumped onto Yang Huo's horse, sighed and said, "Damn, what kind of people are those people, they have done their best work, and they are no longer visible in a blink of an eye." I chased all the way for a long time, but there was no trace, and I had no choice but to turn back. He said to himself: "What kind of strange martial arts does Yi'er practice, so powerful......"
Duan Siying was very helpless and said, "Which direction did they go?"
Yang Rui said: "I should have gone to Shizhai Village, I'm not sure if I didn't catch up." โ
Duan Siying asked, "Where is Shizhai Village?"
Yang Rui said: "It's the last village to enter Shizhai Mountain, where do we go to see, maybe we can find their traces." The crowd acquiesced and sped up.
After walking through the mountains and forests for a while, when I approached a path, I heard the continuous sound of horses' hooves running forward. The noise of shouting and killing was loud one after another, and the dust and smoke from the horses' hooves rolled into the dense forest on both sides.
Duan Siying and the four of them came out of the woods, and when they saw a large group of Jianghu warriors rushing forward, they turned their horses' heads and chased after the large group of men and horses in front. Angry conversations could be heard from the crowd in front of them.
"Damn, something so big has happened, since the venue has been blocked, if Lao Tzu can't find the head of the house, he has to set foot in Pingyang Mansion. โ
"None of those high-ranking officials are fine, but none of the gang leaders of the various factions in the rivers and lakes who participated in the conference have been able to come out. Maybe it's a conspiracy planned by the people of the government to eliminate Wulin. โ
"Look at how they explain it, if they can't tell the reason, burn his Yang Mansion first. โ
"Don't expect anything from the government, you can't do anything but stand and brag. โ
"Damn, if my helper has any three strengths and two shortcomings, Lao Tzu will ask for an explanation even if he goes to the emperor Lao'er. โ
"Yes, first kill the Yang Mansion, and then destroy the Gaoyue Marquis Mansion, and make trouble in Dali, so I don't believe that this court will not give an explanation. โ
"Oh, let's be a little calm, this is the world of the imperial court, how can we fight with the officials, let's save it. This sentence is considered to be troublesome, and it suddenly caused a burst of shouting and scolding.
"Water can carry a boat and can also overturn a boat, if the court is so miserable, if you don't look at the rivers and lakes, you won't believe in the power of the rivers and lakes, and you can't kill the imperial city. โ
Duan Siying thought: "The scene has been blocked, how can these people get the news so quickly." Could it be that someone deliberately spread rumors to confuse the people. In this way, the turmoil is much bigger than imagined. In this case, why did these people go to Shizhai Village again, and why?" Ling Yunjun also had no choice but to look at Duan Siying, very confused.
"It's hard to say whether the government guards are stealing from themselves, so let's go to the ghost town first and see if we can find out what the cause is. โ
"Lao Tzu will see what the ghost town looks like this time, is there no return as in the legend?"
"I don't know if they can survive in the ghost town if they are caught, it's really a crime. โ
Duan Siying thought: "Why do they think that everyone was captured in a ghost town, is there any conspiracy in it?"
The young man glanced at Duan Siying and asked, "Who are you, from the government?"
Duan Siying was stunned, shook his head and said: "I am from the Justice Gang, and the gang leader also participated in the conference and had an accident, and the officers and soldiers blocked the venue and found it untraceable." Seeing that everyone was coming this way, I didn't know why I was also coming, so I wanted to ask. โ
