"Ahem...... Song Nian coughed dryly: "Lord Chu, what now?" ”

Chu He glanced at her in surprise: "Didn't you say that whoever walks by, there will be traces?" Just keep looking. ”

Song Nian is embarrassed, yes, then continue to investigate?

What to look for? Song Nian glanced at the well and had an idea.

Since I don't know what to investigate, let's investigate Guo Jiabao's case first, and at the worst, I can force the father and daughter who are secretly staring at them to the black hand. The rabbit is anxious and bites. Song Nian would not be as obedient as her father, or simply take poison herself, poison herself half to death, and let others have no one to poison.

"Lord Chu, my subordinates think that since the other party has transported this ice corpse here, they must have ulterior motives, and they should start with this ice corpse and thoroughly investigate the previous Guojiabao tragedy." Song Nian said with a glance.

"The Guojiabao tragedy?" Chu He frowned: "I seem to have heard of it." ”

Song Nian hurriedly told the story of the Guojiabao tragedy, and finally said: "Lord Chu, such a tragic tragedy must be investigated to the end. What's more, the corpse of a few months ago should have rotted a long time ago, and now it has appeared here in its entirety, and the subordinates think that there must be a conspiracy behind it! ”

Chu He nodded slightly: "Okay, then thoroughly investigate the case of Guo Jiabao." ”

He Zhixian's face was embarrassed: "Lord Chu, the case of Guojiabao has already been closed......

Chu He glanced at him coldly: "Can the real murderer be caught?" ”

"There is no ......" He Zhi County is at a loss.

Chu He said lightly: "The real murderer has not been captured yet, why should the case be closed?" Hezhi County, if you neglect your duties...... Xue Hu, who has caught the sixth grade in this seat, will be able to catch you, a little magistrate, even more. ”

"Yes, yes, Lord Chu, I'll let people restart this case." He Zhixian wiped the sweat from his forehead.

……

The investigation of the Guojiabao tragedy has been decided.

But Song Nian glanced at the progress of his task, the current task of the first ring of the chain of tasks, and inspected the treasury of the Wang Clan's Yinhao, which was only 80% completed.

Even if Song Nian asked Zhao Da to check it carefully, he only found a small cellar.

The things stored in this cellar surprised Song Nian.

That's more than twenty boxes of opioid.

"Even if it's forbidden, you don't have to hide it so secretly, right?" Song Nian was quite puzzled.

According to her understanding, although this opium is forbidden, it was not strictly controlled in ancient times.

However, Lin Lao told Song Nian that since the previous dynasty, this opium has been a forbidden thing, and all dynasties and dynasties have hated this thing.

In Lin Lao's words, in the last years of the previous dynasty alone, tens of thousands of catties of opium were burned, but unfortunately it was still unable to curb the spread of this substance.

When the previous dynasty perished and the current dynasty was replaced, it was natural to strictly guard against opium.

It's just that...... Under the prosperous age, everyone is arrogant and extravagant**, and this kind of pleasure is extremely difficult to avoid.

So this situation has been formed in this dynasty, everyone knows that this opium is a forbidden substance, but everyone also knows that there are people around him who have secretly hidden such forbidden objects.

"So, there is, there can be. Can be known, but not seen? Song Nian seemed to have tasted some of the flavors of later generations.

"Lord Song is really smart." Lin Lao praised with a smile.

"Cut." Of course, Song Nian knew that Lin Lao was mocking himself for not learning and not being skilled.

But so what?

The old lady is now illiterate, legally illiterate, and the sauce purple is alive and moisturized.

However, even with the addition of this secret room, the tunnel, and the crossbow and the underground brass communication system, the current task of the first link of Song Nian's serial quest is still only 90% complete.

Song Nian knew that according to the urine nature of this system, there must be something that was extremely conspicuous and should be investigated, which she ignored.

But...... Deliberately make something very conspicuous but she can't notice to check, isn't this the urine nature of this system?

Forget it, 90% completion is not unacceptable.

Song Nian chose to complete the task, and sure enough, the current task, which is the first link of the chain of tasks, has no reward. Song Nian estimated that only after completing all the tasks of the first ring would he be rewarded with that set of purification tools.

Next, it is to go to the county office. On the one hand, the prisoner was sent to the dungeon, and on the other hand, because several months had passed since the Guojiabao tragedy, and a lot of evidence had been lost, Song Nian had to complete some information through the file.

After arriving at the county government to retrieve the file, Song Nian was about to leave, but He Zhixian stopped her with a smile.

"Master Song, do you know, how to get to this Guojiabao?"

Song Nian was stunned: "Aren't you going by carriage?" ”

When He Zhixian heard this, he shook his head and smiled: "Do you remember that when the Guojiabao tragedy happened, no one knew about it, and only a team of border soldiers broke into it by chance. ”

Song Nian nodded again and again: "That's true, what do you mean...... This Guojiabao is located in the middle of nowhere, and you need a guide? ”

He Zhixian said with a smile: "I mean, the location of this Guojiabao is remote, but it is not an ordinary remote, it is near dozens of miles, are deserted, only a few years ago, the Guo family moved from Lingnan, only spent a lot of money to build a fort here." ”

Song Nian was stunned: "Deserted people within a radius of dozens of miles? ”

A radius of dozens of miles? That's about half the size of a township. How can such a big place be deserted?

Lin Lao frowned: "This place is a border land, is it?" ”

He Zhixian smiled: "Lin Lao guessed well, it is ......"

Song Nian suddenly realized: "Is it a desert?" ”

He Zhixian laughed: "Master Song, you guessed wrong, it is saline-alkali land." ”

Originally, nearly 100 miles to the northwest of this place, there is a large area of saline-alkali land, which can only grow cold-tolerant and salt-alkali tolerant plants such as reeds and sand dates.

Originally, although this place was bitterly cold, there were still sporadic herdsmen grazing.

But since more than a decade ago, the last remaining herders here have died one after another, and some people who have escaped say that on the night of the full moon, there will be devils eating people. Therefore, this place has become a forbidden place.

There is only a man like the Guo family

Song Nian naturally scoffed at the foolish people's statement, but she had to pay great attention to the other issue that He Xianling said.

That's the water source.

To survive in saline-alkali land, the first thing is water.

In this era, the transportation capacity can still be carried by oneself, but the water is not.

Because these hundreds of miles are deserted, all the fresh water that survives in the saline land cannot be found.

And the lack of water means that the Black Armor Army cannot penetrate deep into this place and guard along the way. This means that you can encounter bandits at any time.

Song Nian frowned, there is no water source, do you want to give up?

Wrong...... No, if there was no water source, how could Guojiabao be built? Building this kind of fortress is not enough for a few hundred people.

Moreover, how did those border soldiers go? How did my father and the other two get over at that time?

So, there must be a simple and straightforward path.
