Early the next morning, the residents of Gaoshan County witnessed a strange scene.

I saw two people in the black robes of the priests pushing a small cart, hanging banners, and walking all the way along the market area, and shouting as they walked to collect clues about the evil of the day before yesterday, no matter who saw or heard strange things, even if it seemed to have nothing to do with the evil spirit, but as long as it was abnormal or bizarre enough, they could tell them, and whether it was useful or not, they could get a reward of ten copper plates. If it is considered useful, it is 100 pieces.

And the car was full of boxes of copper coins.

This kind of good deed, which is almost equivalent to giving money for nothing, suddenly detonated the enthusiasm of the people, and everyone flocked to the car and formed a large circle around the car.

"My lord, I have something to say! There was an unusual noise at the Wang family next door that night!"

"My lord, I saw Zhang Mazi secretly carrying something up the back mountain!"

"Get out of the way, I'm here first!"

"I also know about this, why do you monopolize this hundred texts?"

"My lord, I'm the Wang family next door, I really have nothing to do with evil!"

All kinds of voices came and went, some vying for clues, and some for who said the same thing first, and the enthusiasm of the masses was beyond imagination, and there was a tendency to develop from verbal communication to zero-distance greetings.

"Get out of the way, everyone avoid!" Suddenly, a group of officials rushed into the crowd and dispersed the gathered people, led by the head catcher who had led the priest to the scene of the crime before.

"I've seen two adults...... Seeing the standard black robe of the Privy Council, he immediately retracted his voice, and bowed respectfully, "I don't know what you're investigating?"

"What else could it be, of course evil. It was Xia Fan who answered him, "What, I shouldn't be in the way of anyone doing this, right?"

"Uh......" The shop head looked at the people around him who were looking forward to it, and said with a little embarrassment, "What do you want to ask, just ask them directly, why spend all this extra money." Now that it's like this, I'm afraid that it will affect the smooth flow of the road later. What's more, if you want to investigate the case, you can go to the Yamen, and the county lord and the history will definitely cooperate with you. ”

"I don't think they know everything about the county, and besides, what I want to know will definitely not be recorded, so I won't bother the yamen. ”

"But my lord, the evil has been destroyed. The other party said stubbornly.

"But who can guarantee that they won't reappear? What I want to collect this time is any sign that might indicate the appearance of evil spirits. Why, do you want to get in the way of the Privy Council?"

"How could it be, the little ones don't dare-"

"Then I'll continue. ”

Xia Fan pushed the cart through the group of officials and shouted at the crowd, "Do you have anything weird to say?"

"My lord, I have!"

"Listen to me first!"

Everyone soon gathered around again.

They all understood one truth, that is, the shop head did not dare to stop the Privy Council alchemists.

No amount of government officials can prevent them from getting this money for nothing.

The same thing happened in the area at the entrance of the county seat, but the people pushing the cart there were replaced by Wang Renzhi and Shangguan Cai.

"Brother Xia, can we really collect any useful evidence like this?" In the midst of the cacophony of calls, Wei Wushuang took the time to lean over Xia Fan and asked, "Although it sounds like a lot of strange things, how can we verify it?" I don't think it is possible to put together these fragmentary rumors into a reliable testimony in one day. ”

"It doesn't matter, because all we do is propaganda. Xia Fan smiled slightly. He didn't expect that the one who supported him the most to investigate was actually the son of the Wang family, and as soon as he proposed this idea, he immediately took the initiative to bear the part of the money.

"Propaganda?"

"Exactly, so the question is not the point, the focus is on how to cause a sensation in the shortest possible time and spread the news of the investigation throughout the county. ”

"But what if...... I mean, if it's really as you guessed, Brother Xia, wouldn't it be a surprise to do this?"

"If we can't see the snake, it's naturally a bamboo basket empty, but if we can see it, the moment the snake moves, it will expose its body. ”

"See?" Wei Wushuang wondered, "Is it here?"

"Don't worry, you'll find out then. ”

......

"Is that really what the gang said?"

In the house of the mansion, Hu Huairen frowned after listening to the report of the head catcher.

"Yes, unchanged in the next word. ”

What kind of drama is this? A few new monks want to know the whole story of the evil incident? Could it be that something is wrong with the Privy Council? Or is it because of the death of two fellow monks, who want to do their best?

What a fool! Hu Zhixian couldn't help but curse in his heart, how many times did he tell those two to act according to the rules, who knew that such a mistake could occur!

They wouldn't have found any clues, would they?

In particular, the phrase "what you want to know will not be recorded" means something no matter how you look at it.

In addition, he can understand other scholars, why is the second son of the Wang family also involved? Does that guy know what his father does?

No, he had to write a letter to Wang Yi'an immediately.

"Your Excellency, ...... Are you alright?" asked the headcatcher cautiously.

"Nonsense, what can I do! You go down, don't worry about them anymore!" Hu Huairen returned to the desk and unfolded a piece of rice paper, only to find that a layer of fine sweat was secreting from his palms. No...... To be calm, the chances of them finding out the truth are slim, and it is even more impossible to ask the locals about anything, he first has to write to the Wang family, and then deal with the matter of the grotto.

After explaining the matter succinctly, he folded the letter and handed it to a servant outside the door, "Send it to the royal family of Jinxia City immediately, and let their master open it himself." Go quickly!"

Then Hu Huairen walked to the backyard and called his subordinates Du Mingjin and Du Mingyin over.

As soon as he saw the two of them appear, he was angry, if it weren't for these two fools, how could the Privy Council have such an accident!

"Are you sure you weren't spotted when you went up the mountain in those days?"

"Master, we can guarantee it!" The Du brothers also knew that they had made a big mistake, and they didn't dare to breathe, "We all set off at night in those days, and we were definitely not seen by anyone. Even Orion did not go up the mountain in one night. ”

"Alright, I'll give you another chance. Go to the grotto today, dispose of everything inside for me, and seal the door to make sure no one can find it. ”

"But...... Once the stone door is sealed, it is difficult to open it again. In case someone finds you over there......"

"That's a matter for the future, you can think of a way later!" Hu Huairen scolded, "I don't want to hear any more evil news before I know the attitude of the Privy Council, if I understand, I will do as I say! If it happens again this time, I will stuff the two of you into it!"

"Yes, sir, we will do it!" the Du brothers nodded busily.

"Get out!"

"Please wait a moment, my lord," at this moment, a crisp and gentle female voice interrupted Hu Zhixian's words.

The two of them raised their heads, and their eyes couldn't help but light up.

Out of the back room came a tall and beautiful woman, with her hair in a high bun and her collar open to the sides, revealing her white neck and half of her collarbone. She held a wooden plate of wine in both hands, revealing a sense of charm between each small step, but her appearance was as pure and refined as that of a hibiscus out of the water. Two very different feelings are mixed together, making this woman's smile full of incredible charm.
