"Since the locust plague has nothing to do with you, why would anyone order such a large quantity of grain in advance?

"I don't really know about this, he has money, and a lot of gold. The less you know, the better, and the more you know, the faster you die. That snitch just stole something that shouldn't have been stolen, and Qi Shicheng left evidence that shouldn't have been kept. ”

"Are you lying to the ghost? Do you think I will believe what you say?" Lu Sheng grabbed Zhang Zhidong's hair and pulled his head up, "It seems that you won't be honest if you don't be punished?"

"Don't ...... No...... Don't be punished...... I admit it, I admit it, as long as you want me to admit it, I will admit it, I am willing to sign and draw it. Don't ask me what I don't know...... Really, that's all I know...... I'm telling the truth. ”

"It's up to you to let Xiao Yannian commit suicide to protect you? Are you thinking too much about your own weight?"

"I don't know how Xiao Yannian died...... But...... To say that he would kill himself to save me is absolutely impossible.

I don't know the specifics, but I know that Xiao Yannian didn't conspire with me simply for money. He...... He ......"

"What is he?"

"He may have something to do with the four independent cities. Lord Lu, I have a word that I don't like. You've made too many enemies...... As long as it can make you stumble, many people will be eager to do it.

Xiao Yannian is very greedy, but at the same time he is very righteous. I've known him for a long time and don't have a deep relationship, but I once heard that he had a good father. But I didn't ask who it was...... It's true...... I'm telling the truth. ”

"Where did the stolen money go?"

"I, Xiao Yannian, Qi Shicheng earned the difference of thirty percent, a total of five million taels, and agreed that the three of us would divide it equally. Later, because Qi Shicheng was not kind, Xiao Yannian and I shared his part equally. ”

Lu Sheng turned back to the brother who had recorded the interrogation and asked, "Have you written it all?"

"Noted down. ”

"Let him draw a charge!" Then he turned around and stared coldly into Zhang Zhidong's eyes, "I'll verify what you said now, if I let me know that you're full of nonsense...... Don't blame us for serving you well, when the time comes, even if you beg for mercy and are willing to tell the truth, you will have to wait until after a round. ”

"Understood, understood!"

"Take it back!"

When Xuan Tianwei pushed Zhang Zhidong away, Lu Sheng turned around and left the cell.

At this moment, it was past noon, and Lu Sheng changed his official uniform and returned to Yuzhu Villa.

A new character, Lion, appeared among the characters explained by Zhang Zhidong, and it can even be said that Lion dominated this series of events. If it weren't for the fact that the lion had such a big demand, the three people in Zhang Zhidong's mouth would not have the idea of official food.

And the fact that this person needs such a large amount of food is the biggest suspicion in itself. Even the sum of the grain that the three major grain merchants in Chuzhou can mobilize is only this amount.

What does he want so much grain for? Is the fourth largest grain merchant? Obviously impossible. Rich, mysterious, and the initiator of everything, Lu Sheng easily connected this person with this locust plague.

Last time, I learned from Feng Wuxue's mouth that the other party might be the Demon Sect, and as one of the former holy places, it was still an unknowable place, and the terrible strength of its strength made Lu Sheng have to plan for the worst.

Thinking about this, Lu Sheng gently pulled out the Abyss Sword, took out a silk handkerchief and carefully wiped the sword body of Guanghua. The cold light of the abyss is full of murderous intent. ”

"Yuzhu, are you back?"

"Hmm!" Lu Sheng replied, and the door was gently pushed open by Bu Feiyan.

"Going out?"

"yes!"

"I'll go with you!" Bu Feiyan said indifferently.

A true bosom friend doesn't need to ask, doesn't need to say. With Bu Feiyan's understanding of Lu Sheng, the place Lu Sheng is going to this time must be a place with an unknown future.

Otherwise, Lu Sheng would not have rubbed his sword so solemnly, nor would he have shown such a strong killing intent.

With Lu Sheng's current kendo cultivation, breaking through the Dao realm is simply anytime and anywhere. If it weren't for the fact that he had a more solid foundation, Lu Sheng would have broken through when he got the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

If he encounters a strong enemy, Lu Sheng can directly use the strength of the Debut Realm. However, Lu Sheng is seriously wiping his sword!

Lu Sheng's movements paused slightly, and the murderous aura on his face suddenly retracted, revealing a sunny smile.

"Good!"

The Mo Valley, inside the valley and outside the valley, seems to separate two different worlds. Outside the valley was windy, but inside the valley was as silent as time had stood still.

When Lu Sheng and Bu Feiyan arrived, they didn't expect that someone had already arrived one step ahead of them.

Six monks in white robes stood quietly in the valley, these monks were different from what Lu Sheng had seen before, the Buddhist beads hanging around their necks were extremely large, each one was like a baby's fist.

In front of the monk, Lu Sheng saw an acquaintance. The wind and snow were gone, bathed in a hazy light and walked slowly, and as they got closer, the light on his body gradually faded and finally disappeared.

"Lord Lu, Step Fairy, you can find this place so quickly......" Feng Wuxue's tone and expression seemed to be more surprised than Lu Sheng when he saw them.

"Why is the Wind Maiden here, is there anything unusual about this place?"

"We suspect that this is a branch of the Demon Sect, so we came to investigate with the Dharma Protector Vajra. But alas, we are a step too late. The Demon Sect has already evacuated, and it may be that there is no chance to take advantage of the chaos in Chuzhou that is not as they planned, so let's leave. Did Lord Lu come because he had found traces of the Demon Sect?"

"Not really, but it has something to do with a case that I'm investigating. Can we go in and have a look?"

"Of course, we also hope that Lord Lu can find the clues they left behind. ”

Inside the valley, a large area is in shambles, but you can still see the prosperity of the past. The townhouses had been burned to the ground, leaving only scorched earth and a pungent smell on the remaining broken walls.

Burned like this, I'm afraid there aren't many clues left. And judging from the degree of damage at the scene, the other party left very calmly and should have been gone for several days.

Lu Sheng stepped on the ashes, and his face suddenly changed. The ashes under his feet were a little taller. To form such a thick ash that it should have been piled up before it was burned. Carefully squatting down and peeling it off, all of a sudden, Lu Sheng's eyes burst out with angry killing intent.

Among the ashes, there were some wheat remains, and some of the ashes could still be seen from before.

This group of bastards actually burned the stolen grain. It is useless to keep it for himself, and he burns them to ashes despite the hard work and sweat of the people......! That's 30 million stones!

It is enough to support a million-strong army for a year's rations, and it is only so much consumed in a national war...... How dare they ......

"Lord Lu, what's wrong with you, have you found anything?" Feng Wuxue walked over curiously.

"It's nothing, it's all burned to ashes, and there shouldn't be any clues. Even if there were, there were no more. Is the Demon Sect daring to commit such a crime in Chuzhou, the Dayu Dynasty will definitely not give up. ”

"Every time the Demon Sect appears, which time is not a sin. And which time was not chased and killed by the ruler for nine days and ten earths?"

"Chirp—"

Suddenly, a white light rose into the sky, and the white light hung in the air, dazzling like a comet. The stars froze in the sky for a long time before they flickered and disappeared.

"Not good!" Lu Sheng's body trembled, and the moment the words landed, the person had disappeared.

Xuantian Mansion was imprisoned in the dungeon, and Lu Sheng strode in with a gloomy face, and there was a pungent smell in the air.

The guards in the prison lowered their heads one by one, not daring to look into Lu Sheng's eyes. Such an important witness was successfully assassinated in the heavily guarded Xuantian Mansion prison.

If this matter is going to get out, how can Xuantianfu have any face? However, this is how it happened. Less than two hours after Lu Sheng left, the prison where Zhang Zhidong was being held suddenly caught fire. By the time Xuan Tianwei opened the cell door to extinguish the fire, Zhang Zhidong had already been burned to death.

"Bang, bang, bang!" The crisp and fierce slap sounded out, and Feng Jian kept waving his slap with a gloomy face. The snow-white gloves were stained with a little plum blossom.

The two in front of him are Feng Jian's most trusted subordinates and his most proud disciples. Because of the importance of Zhang Zhidong, Feng Jian let his two most trusted subordinates take care of it personally.

Feng Jian couldn't explain to Lu Sheng, and he couldn't even explain to himself. The slap was crisp, and the faces of the two were already covered with blood, and even Lu Sheng couldn't recognize their original appearances.

"Bang Bang!"

"Enough!

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

"Feng Jian, this official told you to stop!"

Feng Jian's hand stopped in the air. This is the first time that Lu Sheng has used the self-title of official in front of his cronies.

Feng Jian suddenly turned around and knelt down in front of Lu Sheng, his bloody slap kept opening his bow on both sides of his face.

"Bang Bang Bang ......"

Suddenly, a hand held Feng Jian's hand, Feng Jian raised his head and saw Lu Sheng's cold eyes. At this moment, Feng Jian's nose was so sour, and two lines of tears went down the corners of his eyes.

Since following Lu Sheng, Feng Jian has never made a mistake, not even a little mistake. He is strict with himself and his subordinates. It is precisely because of his strictness that Lu Sheng will hand over the most important witnesses to his custody.

But......

Feng Jian was angry not only because Zhang Zhidong was killed, but also because of his own mistakes. And it's such a big mistake.

From now on, how can Lu Sheng believe in himself, no matter how reassuring he is? This is Feng Jian, and he must not forgive himself.

"If you can bring Zhang Zhidong back to life by killing yourself, then you will fan yourself to death here!"

Lu Sheng let go of Feng Jian's hand and strode to the door of the cell where Zhang Zhidong was being held. The floor of the entire old house was scorched black in the form of a large scale, a mass that was half burned and wet to the straw, and the body of Zhang Zhidong who seemed to be about to run to the prison door but was burned to death.

"Who was there at the time of the incident?"

"I ...... We're in!" In the corner of the opposite wall, five Xuantianwei knelt straight in a row.
