In Chishan City, a red sun rose from the sky, covering up a turmoil from last night. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

In the courtyard, Zhang Xiyun dragged his tired body, used a wisp of energy, and pushed open the closed door.

The furnishings in the house are very simple, only beds, wooden tables and chairs, which can also show the character of Dong Guanzheng.

On the wooden table, there is still a teapot, and there is still tea in the teapot on the side, but it has been cold for a long time.

"It seems that before Dong Guanzheng disappeared, he was drinking ......tea at home," Zhang Xiyun muttered to himself, and then turned his head to look around the house, "There are no traces of turning in the house, it seems that they have not entered this house since Dong Guanzheng disappeared, and even Dong Guan should have disappeared after being led out, not someone entered the house and hijacked ......"

The room is not big, and you can see the things in the whole room at a glance, but you can't see the jade slip you want.

Zhang Xiyun walked slowly around the house, looking for clues as much as possible, but still found nothing.

"Could it be that Dong Guan Zheng really carried the jade slip with him, or did Dong Guan have no habit of using the jade slip to record cases at all......" he muttered to himself.

A ray of sunlight rushed into the house, Zhang Xiyun couldn't help sighing, there was no time, I was afraid that the family would come back here soon, so he had to leave first.

Zhang Xiyun looked down at the clothes on his body, and after thinking for a while, he took out the brand-new clothes from the Qiankun bag and changed them, otherwise his blood-stained clothes would be too eye-catching.

"It seems that I can't find a clue, so I should leave first and go outside the city to avoid the limelight. ”

He turned away from the room and walked back into the courtyard, glancing warily around as he prepared to turn away.

Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of the dry well in the courtyard, and his heart moved, and he stopped, hesitated for a moment, and then walked towards the dry well.

"Why should a well be dug in the courtyard, and it should be emphasized that it is a dry well......

He remembered what Yan Jiujun had said when he asked him to come to find Dongguan Zhengshi before leaving the imperial capital, a dry well, a pear tree, put a pear at night, and eat the pear in the morning.

The rotten pear on the stone table is enough to show that it should be night when Dong Guanzheng disappeared, he put the pear, and then was led out in a hurry, and never came back, so the pear was kept on the stone table until it rotted.

And that dry well......

Zhang Xiyun walked to the dry well and looked down the well, this dry well was extremely deep, and it was pitch black underneath, and he didn't know what it was.

There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes, then he looked up into the distance, and finally made up his mind to jump into this dry well!

A sense of fall hit, and after five or six breaths, Zhang Xiyun fell to the bottom of the well.

The bottom of the well was much wider than the wellhead, and there was even an oil lamp hanging above the wall of the well, and a hole was carved into the wall of the well, just enough for one person to walk into it.

Zhang Xiyun's pupils shrank, he really guessed correctly, there is a hole at the bottom of this well!

He did not light the oil lamp, fearing that it would attract attention, so he cautiously walked into the hole.

After walking less than a mile, Zhang Xiyun walked to a spacious flat land, surrounded by oil lamps, with a stone table in the center and a stone door behind it.

Zhang Xiyun smacked his lips in surprise, he really didn't expect that Dong Guanzheng would actually build a secret room at the bottom of the well by himself.

A flash of fire flickered between his fingers, and he lit the oil lamp beside him, and the secret room at the bottom of the well finally lit up.

Zhang Xiyun looked around, except for a stone table, there was nothing superfluous here, but there was a stone door that seemed to be embedded in the stone wall behind the ground.

And the things on the stone table attracted Zhang Xiyun's attention.

It was the jade slip he had been trying to find, only about one foot and two inches in size, and it was probably deliberately placed here by Dong Guanzheng.

Zhang Xiyun looked happy, walked to the stone table, picked up the jade slip, and gently crushed it.

A divine consciousness converged into Zhang Xiyun's eyebrows, and the entire ink word appeared, rotating in front of his eyes.

This is the jade slip that Dong Guan is using to record the case file, and the whole text tells about what happened after he arrived at Chishan City.

But after a while, Zhang Xiyun found the information he wanted to know in it.

"The deputy safety supervisor suddenly transferred me back to Zhonghuangzhou and ordered me to come to Chishan City, he mentioned in his speech that he suspected that among the six major families in Chishan City, several of them had become the puppets of Dancheng Tianfu, and they were controlled by the Forbidden Dan, and asked me to replace the identity of a scholar surnamed Li in Chishan City, secretly investigate this matter, and be sure to find out the family involved in Dancheng Tianfu. ”

"Chishan City is not an ordinary city, it seems to occupy an extremely important position in the ancient history of the Middle Ages, and the people here have passed down a story about the King of Zhou You for generations, but the people are secretive about it, I have inquired in many ways, only to know that this place has been involved in an unknown place, from the beacon fire lit by the King of Zhou You. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Xiyun's heart sank, was the beacon fire that Dong Guanzheng said the same flame he saw last night?

"The longer I stay in the city, the more I wonder about this city, there are many secrets hidden in Chishan City, but Chishan City is not far from the imperial capital, why does the Dragon Court care less about this place?"

"I opened the dry well in the courtyard and built a secret room to facilitate my own actions, but after the bottom of the well was opened, I found a stone door in it, and I tried many times, but still failed to open the stone door. ”

Zhang Xiyun's expression froze, and he looked back, the stone door was not from the hand of Dong Guanzheng, but originally existed here?

He had always thought that behind the stone door was still a secret room, perhaps where the Winter Officer was storing important evidence.

"Among the six major families in Chishan City, the Zhou, Qi, and Jin families seem to have been infiltrated by Dan Chengtian's anger, and the Song and Chu families often oppose these three families, but they don't know whether they know about Dan Chengtian's anger, or just Dan Chengtian's anger and infighting, and the Wu family is unusually peaceful, and it is rumored that the old man Wu's favorite grandson is not a weapon, so the Wu family is often ridiculed by the rest of the family, and even the marriage with the Chu family has been shelved, and the Wu family has paid less attention to the affairs in the city. ”

"The lord of Chishan City is punished, this person has the qualifications of a hero, the minister has been in charge of Chishan City for many years, it seems to be brilliant, but in fact, he is fighting openly and secretly with several major families, and the six major families seem to be watching the position of the city lord. ”

"Something is wrong with the Chen family, the identity of the general of the town mourning back then, Chen Zi'an, I am afraid that it is amazing, I have already guessed, but why did Gao Zu choose the position of the hereditary city lord of the Chen family?"

"The ministers must have a big plan!"

"There is a bigger mystery involved in this case! It's not as simple as it seems!"

"The deputy safety supervisor once said that he would send someone to help me, but I can't wait, I want to go to these seven houses to investigate in person!"

"Dan Cheng Tianfu wants to use the beacon fire! Those crazy people want to use the beacon fire to refine the pill!"

After reading all the information left by Dong Guanzheng, Zhang Xiyun couldn't help but gasp, this case seems to involve great secrecy, and in the last sentence left by Dong Guanzheng, he mentioned Beacon Fire again, what is it?

I'm afraid that after Dong Guanzheng left the last sentence in the jade slip, he didn't even have time to inform the deputy safety supervisor and the new hospital, and he had already encountered an accident.

"Dong Guan is ...... What did you find?" Zhang Xiyun looked at the floating ink in front of him and muttered, "Which family is making a move against Dongguan, is it the courtier's family that he mentioned many times at the end, or the family has joined forces to ......?"

He was uneasy for a while, and problems followed, calling him the female voice of Xin Wu last night, the plans of the seven families in Chishan City, the beacon fire and Dan Cheng Tianfu, which were mentioned many times, and the stone gate at the bottom of the well.

Zhang Xiyun's eyes showed a blankness, thinking that he was just a mortal monk, but he was always exposed to these secrets that he was not able to participate in at all, if he was a chess piece, did the chess player behind the scenes want to completely remove him from the chessboard?

A deep sense of powerlessness penetrates deep into the bone marrow at this moment.

It wasn't until a long time had passed that his gaze regained clarity, and since he had to encounter these things, then he would break this game of chess, and the big deal was death, as if who hadn't died?

Since dreaming back to the Middle Ages, his heart has gradually changed, and now his mentality has begun to change, and he has gradually become not afraid of life and death, facing everything in front of him, not wanting to die but not afraid of death, in order to live in this world.

After the mentality began to change, Zhang Xiyun also began to think about the whole thing, anyway, now that the family must have returned to the courtyard, he might as well stay at the bottom of the well for a few days to avoid the limelight, presumably after those families investigated, they must have thought that he would either disappear because of the flames like those people last night, or he had escaped from Chishan City, in short, in a few days, I am afraid that they will not monitor this courtyard too much.

Zhang Xiyun sat cross-legged, not only to clear his thoughts, but also to recuperate from his injuries.

......

Also on this day, Chishan City was shaken, and the curse reappeared, what a big event, the news would inevitably be spread, but the six great families and the ministers made the same choice, forced the matter down, and calmed down in the city.

The people in the city should not talk about this matter in vain, let alone spread it around, and even before the evening, the news had already arrived, and the ministers used the excuse that the people in the city were infected with the epidemic, and wrote to the dragon court, and closed the city for 20 days to avoid the spread of the epidemic, and after the people in the city recovered, the city gate was opened, and even the post station needed to be closed for this reason, until the city was opened.

And since Gaozu canonized the city lord, even though Chishan City is not far from the imperial capital, for some reason, the Dragon Court rarely has jurisdiction over this place, and it will be granted in the future.

Fortunately, there was no curse in the next two nights, and the people in the city calmed down a little, so the reappearance of the curse was temporarily suppressed because of the joint efforts of the seven families of Chishan City, and the news did not spread.

In the Imperial Capital City, after Yan Jiujun learned about this, he thought of the fact that the Dongguan Zheng's life lamp went out a few days ago, and he suddenly felt uneasy in his heart.

After Qin Yi's life lamp was extinguished, Yan Jiujun immediately transmitted the news to An Luping, who was in Xihezhou, hoping that An Luping could solve the matter, but there was no news after that.

She didn't know that An Luping was also working on an extremely important case at this time, and she didn't even know about the extinguishing of Qin Yi's life lamp, only An Yi was in a hurry, but she could only wait for An Luping to come back before she could tell it.

Now in the imperial capital, except for Yan Jiujun and Nan Lao, there is no one else in the new courtyard, and the rest of the officials are all over the five continents, even if Yan Jiujun wants to send people to Chishan City, she can't do it for a while, the only thing that makes her feel at ease is that Zhang Xiyun's life lamp is intact and has not been extinguished.

And when the matter of the closure of Chishan City came, she finally couldn't bear it anymore, An Luping never had any news back, she had to go to see Nan Lao, and even asked to see His Majesty, and went to Chishan City in person.

......

Three days later.

Zhang Xiyun, who was sitting in the secret room at the bottom of the well, opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbidity.

"It's been three days, and the injury is considered healed. He got up and patted the dust off his body, and said to himself, "I wonder what's going on out there now?

"The curse of Chishan City is not trivial, it will definitely alarm the Dragon Court, and it must be that there are no officials from the Dragon Court who are ready to come to Chishan City. He thought to himself.

Nowadays in the world, the transmission of information is extremely convenient, if you are in two continents, you can use extremely fast spirit beasts to communicate, but the spirit beasts are different demon races, and different krakens, close to the human race, and can not be transformed, although the strength is low, but each has its own advantages, such as the white feather eagle of Qin Tianjian, it only takes a few days to shuttle between the two continents.

As long as there are jade slips on both sides of the communication array, the information recorded in one of the jade slips and the remaining divine consciousness can be turned into a special spirit element, which can be incorporated into another jade slip far away through the magic circle.

Therefore, Zhang Xiyun Fang would have felt that the Dragon Court would definitely know about this matter very quickly, but he didn't expect that this matter would be forcibly suppressed by the six great families of Chishan City, and even the Long Court had not yet known about it.

He stretched his waist and was about to leave the bottom of the well, and before leaving, he walked to the stone door, and tried to open it with all his strength, but after a few breaths, the stone door was still in a tight state.

"Sure enough, this door can't be opened by brute force, even Dongguan Zheng couldn't open it, and it won't be futile for me to try, so I'll leave first, and wait for the officials of the Dragon Court to enter the city. ”

He turned away, extinguished the lamp, and returned to the bottom of the well through the hole that had been hewn.

At this time, it was already noon, Zhang Xiyun felt a little relieved in his heart, if it was daytime, presumably those people would be too attention-grabbing and have been staying here.

He jumped up lightly, stepped into the air, and returned to the courtyard from the bottom of the well.

There were more footprints in the courtyard, and the house in the courtyard was open, and it was assumed that they had returned, but no one had left them here.

"It seems that I guessed correctly...... Zhang Xiyun said in his heart, "even if they still have doubts, they will not send people to guard them all the time, and they will probably send people here every once in a while." ”

But he didn't know that the seven families of Chishan City had only sent people over once in order to suppress the curse these days, and they used all their manpower to pacify the people in the city, and in their opinion, Zhang Xiyun either died because of the curse or escaped from Chishan City, and it was useless for them to guard this courtyard.

Zhang Xiyun turned into a rainbow light, and instantly rushed out of the courtyard and landed on a remote path outside the courtyard. (To be continued.) )
