Hearing that the person who came was a Taoist priest, the county order shoes were not properly dressed, so he pulled his boots and went out to meet the Taoist priest.

Everyone here worships Taoism, and the status of Taoist priests is higher than that of officials. The monks who have officially entered the immortal path have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, how dare they snub them?

The Taoist priest was welcomed into the room by the county order, waved the dust, and sat down unceremoniously.

"It's actually quite a simple case." The Taoist priest got straight to the point and said directly.

The county commander looked frightened, bowed down and said, "Sir, please consult me." ”

The Taoist priest spoke very succinctly: "It is not one person who committed the crime, at least two or more, and it is impossible for anyone to empty more than a dozen households in a short period of time." ”

The county magistrate suddenly realized that he had been misled by the words "stealing handsome Chu Liuxiang" before, and fell into a blind spot, thinking that only "thief" was the only one who committed the crime.

But the most critical problem has not been solved. Even if there are many people to help, they need to hide the stolen goods, so many stolen goods, it is impossible to hide them quietly.

At these times, the county lieutenant had already led people to turn the county upside down, and they did not see a trace of the stolen goods, and the inventory at the city gate had also been strengthened many times, and it was impossible for them to smuggle the stolen goods out, unless they transported them out of the city on the night they stole them.

But how did they do it?

The Taoist priest took a sip of tea and continued: "The modus operandi is also very simple. I checked the situation of all the lost property, and there were also 5 horse-drawn carts lost, plus an ox cart stolen by your county office, a total of 6 carts. ”

The county magistrate was stunned, and he almost forgot that there was an ox cart lost in the county office.

"He stole the wagon at the same time as he stole the stolen goods?"

The Taoist priest said, "Yes." ”

The county magistrate said: "So he loaded the stolen goods into a wagon, and then carried them out of the city overnight with the stolen goods?" ”

"Yes." The Taoist priest said.

"How?" The prefectural order asked.

"It's very simple, the thieves first take the ox cart and carriage out of the courtyard and out of the wall, then load the dirt into the ox cart and carriage, and then let another person drive the ox cart out of the city gate."

The county magistrate opened his mouth and was silent for a while before he said, "So simple? ”

"It's as simple as that."

In another world, the TV is echoing "The first step is to open the refrigerator door, and the second step is to put the elephant in ......"

The magistrate shook his head and said, "How did the thieves move the ox cart and carriage out of the wall?" On that day, including my county office, there were people on duty, and how did he move out of the wall without a sound when something as heavy as an ox cart was moved? This is not something that ordinary people can do. ”

The Taoist priest said: "Therefore, this 'Chu Liuxiang' is not an ordinary person, but a monk. ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the sky, shattering the heart of the county magistrate and splitting him suddenly.

Indeed, it would be easy for a monk to do this!

"But...... Why do monks steal our mortal money? ”

The monk is synonymous with a pure heart and few desires.

Monks should not covet the sound and lust of the mortal world, otherwise it will affect the desire to seek the truth; The monks who have cultivated the art of dividing grains do not eat grains, but eat and drink dew; The monks need to cut the dust, and they have nothing to do with the mortal world; The treasures that monks need are not something that can be produced in the mortal world, nor can money buy it.

If the monk wants gold and silver treasures, he will say a word casually, and countless rich and noble families will be willing to give them with both hands, so why steal them?

Moreover, if a disciple of a noble and decent family was found to have stolen, he might be expelled from the sect, so why would this monk take such a big risk to steal?

There is no need to steal, there is no need to steal, and more importantly, there is a great risk of stealing, why should he steal? Why steal?

"There are many reasons for this, it is possible that the person is a casual cultivator, or it is ...... Well. The Taoist priest took a sip of tea.

He guessed that this person was either a loose cultivator or a righteous scum. The righteous path produces a few scum every year, but in front of mortals, it is not worth mentioning. The Taoist priest drank tea silently.

"I haven't asked Mr. for a number yet."

"That's right," the Taoist priest put down the tea bowl, "the poor Dao is the Taoist of the Ten Thousand Law Peaks of the Infinite Mountain, and the law is unscrupulous." ”

Hearing the word "Taoist", the heart of the county order was completely put down.

Even if the county magistrate is only a mortal, he also knows that the Taoist priest has a strict hierarchy and has a strict definition of self-profes.

Calling himself a Taoist means that this person's cultivation has reached the foundation building period, otherwise, he can only call himself a "Taoist child".

If you can't step over the foundation building period, even if you become a gray-haired old man, you can only call yourself a Taoist.

Cultivation has reached the foundation building, and it already has a strength that surpasses the number of times or even hundreds of times that of mortals, and a thief can't escape.

The county commander bowed down and said, "May I ask the chief, how should we deal with it?" ”

Lu Wuji took out a blank paper from his sleeve, threw it away, the paper fluttered, spread on the table, Lu Wuji waved his hand, and a brush on the table flew up crookedly, as if controlled by an invisible hand, dipped in ink, brushed on the paper and began to write.

When the county order saw this magic skill, he was already so frightened that he fell to the ground, and when he raised his head, Lu Wuji had already written, handed the paper to the county order, and said: "This is the 'hoe order' signed by the Xianmen Zhengdao, if you encounter an evil monk, you can kill with your hands, without mercy, you just need to press the handprint on the paper, and I can let go of my hands and feet to arrest the criminal." ”

The county commander was surprised: "The villain also counts according to his handprints?" ”

The Taoist priest smiled and said, "After you press your handprint, all today's events can be recorded on this paper, and they can be presented to the Xianmen Zhengdao Alliance as evidence in the future." ”

There is no true friendship between immortal cultivators, and there is no true justice in the immortal cultivation world. But at least one thing is certain: the Immortal League strictly forbids killing people and taking treasures.

Therefore, even if you kill a loose cultivator, you must prepare sufficient evidence, otherwise the law enforcement officers of the Immortal Alliance will come to arrest people at any time and make you die.

In today's immortal cultivation world, defeating a righteous scum is equivalent to making a windfall, which is equivalent to legally killing people and seizing treasures. You can not only do chivalrous justice, but also kill people and take treasures, why not? The righteous monks rushed to punish the evil and eliminate the traitors. If it weren't for the fact that the perpetrator might be a monk, it would be impossible for Lu Wuji to take care of this idle matter.

In these days, a righteous scum is very valuable.

The county commander trembled and pressed the handprint, and the Taoist priest flicked his sleeve, and the paper disappeared. Lu Wuji said: "Gather all the soldiers who have been on duty at the city gate for nearly a month. ”

Although I didn't understand why, the prefectural commander still summoned all the soldiers. The soldiers stood in a row, eleven in all.

The Taoist priest stepped forward and looked at these soldiers one by one, and these soldiers felt that the Taoist priest's gaze was like a deep spring, bottomless. What they didn't know was that just by looking at each other, all their memories of the past few days poured into the Taoist priest's mind.

In other words, in the past month, the faces of all the people who have entered the city have been in the minds of Taoist priests.

The Taoist priest closed his eyes tightly, and the object he was looking for was someone who had just entered the city in the past month and had been out of the city frequently on the night of the crime.

"Well, sure enough, the memory of the night of the crime is quite vague, and I can't see people's faces clearly." The Taoist priest muttered to himself.

This shows that on the night of the crime, the people who left the city used a spell to confuse the public, otherwise the soldiers' memories would not have been extracted.

"Then, we can only search for all the suspicious people who have entered the city in the past month."

Soon, a face appeared in the eyes of the Taoist priest.

"Oxcarts? Peddler? Dude? ”

The Taoist priest said.

"Interesting."
