Chapter 46

Since then, there have been many fresh faces on Yuemeng Mountain, and they are still nominally under the unified dispatch and management of the Suzhou Prefecture City Patrol Division, but in fact, Zhao Xuance can no longer have any substantive control over the search for Yuemeng Mountain.

Including the later capture of the mulberry snake, it was not handled by Zhao Xuance, but by someone else.

Zhao Xuance did nothing more than express pity for what happened to these monsters.

For the emperor's birthday, in order to bring treasures to the imperial court, how many people in various places have been ruined, and how many wives have been separated.

The Governor is right, but what is the Ququ Monster?

After learning that Zheng Sinan found out about catching live snakes and skinning them, Zhao Xuance still had no choice but to put Zheng Sinan in prison.

He had hoped that he could communicate with Sang Snake through Zheng Sinan to see if a relatively balanced solution could be found.

The snake seemed to have received a warning and disappeared almost overnight.

Zheng Sinan bit himself to death and didn't know where the mulberry snake was hiding.

In the end, there was no way, Zhao Xuance had to detain Zheng Sinan in the prison of the City Patrol Division, and then release him after this matter was understood.

On the surface, Zhao Xuance still has expectations for Zheng Sinan about the hiding place of the mulberry snake, but in fact, only Zhao Xuance knows, which may be the best way to protect Zheng Sinan.

After all, shemales have different paths.

The pressure from the top is increasing, and Zhao Xuance found Zheng Sinan for the last time and told him that he had no way to drag it out any longer, and the government soldiers would soon enter the mountain to encircle and suppress the mulberry snake.

In exchange, of course, it was only the scolding of Zheng Sinan, who had lost his coolness, but in the end, Zhao Xuance still said that he would try his best to save Zheng Sinan's wife's life.

In exchange for just a whoop.

In recent days, the people who went into the mountains to search for the mulberry snake began to be inexplicably counterattacked by the mulberry snake, not only did not catch another mulberry snake, but all the people who saw the mulberry snake failed to come back alive.

Even if Zhao Xuance tried his best to suppress this matter, the news still spread like wings, except for the soldiers guarding the mountains, even the city of Suzhou had a terrible trend of panic.

Paying tribute to silk is one thing, making textiles is another thing, now the number of silk collected is quite different from last year, if there is no qualified textile tribute to the palace, I am afraid that Suzhou Mansion from top to bottom, not only a problem of declining annual examination.

At this time, Qi Zhen and these strange people suddenly appeared on the streets of Suzhou Mansion again, and in order to avoid extraneous branches, Zhao Xuance had to "invite" them into the Yamen of the City Patrol Division.

Yesterday, the snake catcher sent by the provincial government finally locked the location of the mulberry snake through the clues in the woods.

It's in that sinkhole.

And only those who have lived in Suzhou for generations know that the sinkhole has a name, called the Xianren Pit.

As for why it is called the immortal pit, the legend is unknown, in short, it is related to the immortals.

Those who do smuggling work, Zhao Xuance has never heard of it at all, so naturally he can't answer.

There's never anything new under the sun.

Qi Zhen shook his head, knowing that Zhao Xuance was not lying, although some of the information asymmetries were different from the situation described by Zheng Sinan, Zhao Xuance also made a reasonable enough explanation.

"It's over, if we want to stop the war between humans and the Mulberry Snake, won't we have to fight with the entire court?" Lin Xiao gasped.

After Lin Xiao reminded him, everyone understood the severity of the current situation.

As long as the snake is still here.

No, it doesn't matter where the mulberry snake is.

As long as Yuemeng Silk still has this magical effect, the imperial court will never give up the capture and slaughter of the mulberry snake.

This discovery left everyone frustrated.

"Originally, we thought that if we solved him, the problem would be solved, but I didn't expect that it was completely useless to deter him, how about the two beauties, surprised or not, what is the use of killing him?"

Yu Liang began to be a little yin and yang at this time, probably to show his sense of powerlessness in the current situation, or just to the person who proposed the strategy of killing Zhao Xuance, that is, Jiang Yan's daily attack.

Three of the four roads have been blocked, and theoretically speaking, whether it is Qi Zhen's proposal to reconcile the two sides, Jiang Yan's proposal to kill the head of the human race, or Lin Xiao's two parties to kill together, it will not work.

If the team chooses to deal with the humans, it means that they are going to rebel.

Now it seems that the only option left for the team is to support the humans in slaughtering the snakes.

But it's still not enough.

According to Qi Zhen's words, there is still one piece of the puzzle missing.

There must be some way to solve it, there must be something that has not been thought of.

Can't be led by the logic of the system!

This is the only thing Qi Zhen can be sure of now!

According to the logic of the system, it is not impossible to slaughter the mulberry snake, which leads to the extinction of the mulberry snake.

What made Qi Zhen feel fortunate was that for the Mulberry Snake that had opened its mind, no one in the team regarded it as a beast, but indeed treated it as a human being.

Except for Li San, who still has enough hostility towards the Mulberry Snake, the others are just thinking from the perspective of games or tasks, not non-my race, and their hearts must be different.

The room suddenly became cold, no one spoke, and they were all waiting for the result of Qi Zhen's thinking.

It was already completely dark, and the light of the fire from the camp stretched the shadows of the eight men extremely long, like eight black pillars.

Qi Zhen wrapped her left hand around her chest and tapped her forehead with her right hand.

The imminent issue in Qi Zhen's mind now is not how to solve the current difficulties and how to break the situation.

It's the plot and development of this game, what kind of purpose is it trying to achieve?

Slaughter the Mulberry Snake clan, or stand by and watch the humans and the Mulberry Snake kill each other with a cold eye, or really help the Mulberry Snake, so that seven people are against one country.

When it comes to the last step, it is nothing more than what Lin Xiao said, just kill and kill, whether you are a human or a snake.

Qi Zhen couldn't help but think about the original question.

What exactly is this a game about?

"Who instructed the soldiers to follow Zheng Sinan? And who tortured him? Does anyone in your back house know about the secret passage besides you? Who can not go through you on the official road, and the official certificate issued by the Suzhou government? Qi Zhen asked slowly, and took out the booklet that the shopkeeper surnamed Zhao handed to Li San from his body.

Zhao Xuance took the customs clearance paperwork, listened to Qi Zhen's question, and frowned.

"The current City Patrol Division, and even the Suzhou Mansion, have become a little chaotic because of the matter of Yuemeng Silk." Zhao Xuance sighed and said helplessly.

"Suzhou is a big city, and there is an endless stream of businessmen and tourists, and I have always been responsible for patrolling and guarding the city."

"But since Yuemengshan discovered Yuemeng Silk, the situation has changed."

"Whether it is at the governor level, or at the governor level, even the royal relatives of the imperial court want to put their hands in."

"There are those who have the miraculous effect of Tuyuemeng silk, those who want to buy and sell to get huge profits, and those who try to get promoted and make a fortune by their superiors, even if Suzhou City is so big, it can't hold so many ambitions."

"This even includes my brother, but I didn't expect him to end up like this."

"The City Patrol Division is not monolithic, since the discovery of Yuemeng Silk, soldiers and personnel have been continuously sent from the Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion to settle in, even the Lord of the Mansion can't withstand such a big pressure at all."

"Where do you think so many people in the camp behind me came from? How many people do you need to close the mountain? No matter how small the mountain is, it is also a mountain, although the soldiers are not the soldiers of Suzhou Prefecture, but the grain and grass and baggage are still in charge of Suzhou Prefecture. Just this part, the resource tilt of adults at all levels is a windfall, I dare to say, in the past three years, the people of Futai have definitely earned a lot. ”

"Nominally, I am the leader, but in fact, they each have their own masters, and I, ah, are just a big banner in front now."

"In addition to those old people who can also conscientiously listen to my command, the recruits who have come to Suzhou Mansion and the City Patrol Division in the past three years are all faintly headed by Liao Xunli, who is also my nominal adjutant."

Qi Zhen was slightly stunned when she heard this.

"Liao Xunli is a close confidant of a certain prince in the court, as for which prince it is, Zhao is humble, but I don't know, I only know that his background is really not simple, and the Lord of Futai has specially taken care of me, for this person, don't offend."

"This secret road, I sent people to dig for a year to finally succeed, I did this very secretively, those people are also my cronies for many years, it stands to reason that no one should ......know," Zhao Xuance said.

"No, the entrance to the secret passage was given to us by him." Qi Zhen said.

Zhao Xuance thought about it, but still said helplessly: "Everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced." ”

"Lord Zhao, looking at it this way, you are actually a good official." Qi Zhen hugged her fists and arched her hands, which can be regarded as expressing her admiration.

Zhao Xuance waved his hand, "Where is a good official, since I have my brother's affairs, I am naturally selfish, after all, my parents died early, and my brother and sister-in-law have been providing me with education, since they have this heart, they do not violate the laws of the imperial court...... Ay! It can only be said that it is self-inflicted. ”

"It is always said that people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves. In fact, people in temples, even more so, the pen is more ferocious and more terrifying than the knife to kill. Qi Zhen stepped forward and patted Zhao Xuance's shoulder.

"I wonder what the heroes will do next? Can you tell me one or two? Zhao Xuance sorted out his state and asked Qi Zhendao.

"Please also ask Lord Zhao to do his best to maintain the balance here, don't send troops to clash with the Mulberry Snake clan, the Mulberry Snake has promised not to hurt innocent humans again, and slow down a little longer, let us deal with it." Qi Zhen said sincerely.

"Dare to disobey!" Zhao Xuance said.

"The shopkeeper of the clothing shop is also kind to us, and he will definitely give Lord Zhao an explanation at this time, and he will never let the innocent die in vain." Qi Zhen said again.

"Good, good." Zhao Xuance said three good words in a row.

"I hope you take care, I'm sorry to involve you heroes in this matter." Zhao Xuance couldn't bear it.

But how did Zhao Xuance know that this was the test that the game brought to them!

The team left along the official road in turn, and Li San fell behind.

"This hero doesn't know what to teach?" Zhao Xuance wondered.

When taking away Qi Zhen and the others from the clothing shop, Li San used a disguise to blend in the crowd to complete the task assigned by the shopkeeper, so he was not seen by Zhao Xuance.

"Your brother and your sister-in-law are very good, and I have also met your niece, although only in a hurry." Li San lowered his voice and said.

"If I have the chance, I will definitely bring the culprit to you, and you will take revenge with your own hands, but you have to count me as one."

Zhao Xuance was stunned for a moment, and then his face showed perseverance.

"It's a deal!"

"It's a deal!"

Looking at the people who disappeared at the end of the official road, Zhao Xuance stood silently in place and was speechless for a long time.
