Chapter Twenty-Eight: Peeling Back the Thread

The city of Falling Spirit changed its owner in one day, and there were some residents in the city who were panicked and uneasy, and there were also those who were excited and happy. Whether they are worried or happy, for their own safety and future, everyone is anxious to know what changes the new helmsman will bring.

There was no news from the outgoing Tashan, and no one dared to face the helmsman's wife, who was more majestic than the helmsman, at this time. Ever since the tiger sister-in-law was intercepted by Tashan halfway, Sanyuan Pavilion was like an earthquake, and she was always immersed in roars and roars. Its power is earth-shattering, and extraordinary husbands and women can withstand it.

Even Tian Qi, who reported the news, failed to get any good looks from the tiger sister-in-law, saying that it was because they were too blind and ran too slowly, so that they delayed the great cause of the tiger sister-in-law's husband.

After a frenzied scolding, Tian Qi, along with his two companions, fled from the Sanyuan Pavilion under the saliva chase like arrows, his expression of horror was almost comparable to that of facing the Gang Qi Storm.

He did it all, not to mention anyone else. Thirteen Lang is not here, no one is touching the mold at this time, although everyone is itching, they can only grit their teeth and endure it, not daring to have any superfluous thoughts.

So, everyone's eyes were focused on the carriage that drove into the battle alliance.

On the same day, shortly after Tashan left, the carriage drove out of the war alliance and went straight to Juxian Tower, where the result was unknown.

Later, someone with ears and eyes came out with the news that the carriage had stopped in front of the Juxian Building for a long time, and a young man in yellow and a simple old man appeared in the car, and waited for a long time with the door slammed, but did not enter the building, and finally returned in a hurry.

Before leaving, the young man in yellow looked at the dilapidated appearance of Juxian Building, shook his head, and said a word.

"Even the lion is missing!"

Then the two got into the carriage and returned to the war alliance, and never came out.

The wonderful thing is that that night, I don't know which way the fairy did it, the stone lion in front of the door of Juxian Building was moved back, and it was cleaned and wiped clean. Compared with the gray-headed and gray-faced stone lion next to him, it seems to have been renovated, and now he has returned to his original position, which is really full of energy and showing off his might, adding a lot of joy.

Other than that, the alliance didn't make any other moves. As if everything was business as usual, Falling Spirit City was still Falling Spirit City, and the War Alliance was still a War Alliance, except that the new helmsman was relatively unfamiliar with everyone for the time being, there was no other difference.

In this way, everyone gradually calmed down, secretly thinking that people are high in the alliance, where do they need to worry about a small person like themselves. Today's matter is just a change of helmsman within the war alliance, and what does it have to do with himself. Thinking that Tashan is not bad to people on weekdays, some people think about whether they should find an opportunity to comfort them, and persuasion is just enough.

In the midst of many speculations and many thoughts, time passed slowly.

...

...

At night, there was a nervous situation in the Battle Spirit Pavilion, and a large number of paper files and jade slips were found in the inventory of the pavilion, and the two guards and Li Feng were checking the files, and those jade slips were personally seen by Zong Ming, with an extremely serious and careful attitude.

Behind a few people, a white-bearded old man sat cross-legged, his white eyebrows lowered and his eyes half-closed, and his attitude was very leisurely.

The other four guards were nowhere to be found, and there were many fewer war spirits in the battle alliance, accompanied by a few clerks, standing aside with a respectful attitude, sometimes explaining something.

"It looks like a swarm of bees has really done a lot of evil things!"

Zong Ming put down a jade slip, shook his head, and said, "The third brother is ridiculous. ”

A ridiculous sentence, countless incidents of slaughtering the village followed, and there was no need to mention it again.

Li Feng understood what he really cared about, and said, "Second Young Master, don't worry, I'll find out the root cause slowly." ”

Zong Ming looked at the mountains of dossiers in front of him, and said with a wry smile: "Tashan is really, so many materials, he is obviously a monk but refuses to record it in jade slips, and he has to copy it with paper and pen, but it hurts you." ”...,

As Tashan said to Thirteen Lang, although the War Alliance is not an official government, it is the actual manager of Falling Spirit City. Most of the major events that happened inside and outside the city were handled and recorded by the war alliance. At present, these files are all the copywriting during Tashan's tenure, and there are really a lot of them.

Several clerical officials hurriedly saluted and said, "The villain doesn't dare, it's all a matter of internal affairs, helmsman...... Whatever Tashan commands, we will do. ”

Zong Ming smiled casually and said, "But he should at least be classified, for example, according to the chronological order, it is very simple to find." Isn't it deliberately a mess that people don't want to see? ”

The attitude is very casual, but the words are a little harsh. Seeing that Zong Ming didn't mean to be angry, a clerk boldly said: "I don't know what the second young master is looking for, if the time is not too long, maybe I still have some impressions." ”

"Oh?"

Zong Ming became interested and said, "Then do you remember the case of the slaughter of Wushan, Kuatuo, and Qiman?"

Several scholars looked at each other, and one of them had a slight flash in his eyes and a slightly different expression.

"You say. ”

Zong Ming had already let go of his divine thoughts, not letting go of any slight changes, stretched out his hand to point at him, and said, "Don't try to hide it. You should know that I have 10,000 ways for you to say it. ”

Li Feng immediately said: "What are you still thinking about in front of the Immortal Family, hurry up and tell the truth." ”

That person wasn't even a war spirit, how could he withstand the pressure of the two of them. Kneeling on the ground with weak legs, he said in a trembling voice: "The villain should be damned, the case back then was recorded by my own hands......; Tashan told me to find it and take it myself. As for weishenme, the villain really doesn't know. ”

Such an answer is actually no different from not saying anything. If Zong Ming was willing to find Tashan directly, why bothered so much. Hearing this, Zong Ming frowned slightly, and his face was secretly unhappy.

The air in the room suddenly became stagnant, with a cold chill that could penetrate the soul, and several scholars could not bear it anymore, and their bodies trembled. They didn't dare to ask for anything, so they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

After a while, Zong Ming's thoughts turned, and he faintly realized something, and said: "Although the dossier is gone, since it is remembered by you, there must still be some impressions. ”

The clerk hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The villain is a mortal and vulgar fetus, and the time is too long, I'm afraid I can't remember the details." ”

"I don't ask you for details. ”

Zong Ming waved his hand and shot out a spiritual power, relieving the coldness of the scholar, and said, "I only ask you, among the three parts, are there any survivors?"

Wen Shi's body felt warm, and his nerves were soothed, and after thinking about it seriously, he said, "There is indeed more than one survivor. ”

"Who are they?, how old are they?" asked Zong Ming.

"It's a couple of children, a boy and four girls, who escaped by going out to play......; Girls range from 12 to 14 years old, and boys are slightly older and no longer than 16. ”

"Oh?"

Zong Ming's eyes flashed with light, and he asked urgently, "Where are they now?"

"This ......"

Wen Shi's forehead was dripping with sweat, racking his brains and meditating, and finally sighed and said: "This matter is handled by Tashan himself, the villain really doesn't know how it is, and I ask the immortal to forgive me." ”

At this time, the other clerk seemed to have thought of something, and his expression suddenly became frightened, and he wanted to hide it, where was there still time. Zong Ming pointed at him and said, "Don't let me teach you how to do it, say!"

An invisible coercion was released, and the scholar seemed to be smashed in the heart by a sledgehammer, opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, and his body fell to the ground softly.

"Say it and I'll save you. Don't say it, I'll let you know what the immortal family means. ”...,

When the matter reached a critical point, Zong Ming didn't care about any demeanor, and directly threatened.

Wen Shi kowtowed again and again, and shouted: "The immortal chief spares his life, the villain thinks about it, thinks about it......"

"Think of something, say!" Li Feng shouted from the side.

Wen Shi's body shook again, spurted out a mouthful of blood, and hissed: "The villain remembers that the maids in the Sanyuan Pavilion seem to be of unknown origin, but their age is right......"

"Hehe, hehe, hehe!"

Zong Ming was not surprised, and fell silent after letting out a few sneers in a row. Its face was as gloomy as iron, as if there was an evil spirit hiding in it, ready to burst out at any moment.

Li Feng's heart was awe-inspiring, and he said tentatively: "Young Master, should I go to Sanyuan Pavilion and ask Natashan a question?"

"There's no hurry. ”

Zong Ming waved his hand, his face gradually calmed down, and said, "I'll talk about it when they come back." If you don't go, you must have full certainty. ”

Speaking of this, Zong Ming suddenly said angrily: "That old thing of the ghost Daozi, teach a good apprentice!"

An inexplicable sentence, but it tells the reason for everything. If it weren't for his scruples, why would Zong Ming have to work so hard and directly arrest Tashan for interrogation, everything would naturally be clear.

As he was talking, several guards outside the door strode in, and saluted Zongming: "Young master, the matter is done." ”

"Well, how's it going?"

The guard said: "Thirteen Lang left suddenly a few days ago, and then there was the tragedy of the mountain villa. In addition, according to the people around him, although Thirteen Lang is young, Liliang is extremely amazing, and he is afraid that he is no less than a two-star war spirit. As for its combat power, no one has seen it. ”

"Combat power! ”

Zong Ming smiled disdainfully and said, "If he is her, or him, his combat power is average." ”

"Don't be careless. ”

Behind him, the white-bearded old man suddenly spoke: "I heard that this person ran to Juxian Building three years ago, although it doesn't look like an apprentice to practice, but since he can enter, he must have the permission of that person, how can his strength be low." ”

Zong Ming smiled lightly, although he didn't open his mouth to refute, there was a sense of pride in his expression. The old man didn't pay attention to it anymore after saying a word, and didn't seem to care whether he took it to heart or not, so he meditated and nourished his energy.

At this time, the guard said, "The subordinate has drawn a portrait of Thirteen Lang, do you want to see it?"

"Uh, show me!"

Zong Ming took the picture scroll from his hand and praised casually: "You did a good job, and then you will receive the reward." By the way, you didn't kill too many people, did you?"

The guard was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you young master, my subordinates follow the young master's orders, and there are no dead people." ”

The absence of dead people means a lot of things. Zong Ming didn't care about these details, unfolded the scroll to look at it, and said, "Since you are in the city, you need to be cautious in your actions." But don't be afraid of anything else, and if you upset that person, it will be a curse. ”

On the picture scroll, a handsome and lazy young man reads a book on the table, and his demeanor is extremely leisurely. Zong Ming looked carefully at the appearance of Thirteen Lang in the painting, and did not say a word for a long time.

"Young Master, how is it?" asked Li Feng from the side.

"It's good, it's really good. ”

Zong Ming retracted his gaze, handed the scroll to the white-bearded old man, and said with a smile: "Uncle Lao, take a look, if this person is pretending to be a woman, he doesn't look like the Ziyi in the memory of the resentful spirit!"
