Chapter 59: Search

Daoist Zhou muttered: "Now it seems that the easiest and most direct way is to search the Xiang Mansion directly, there should be some clues. ”

After all, the hundred households are in the officialdom, so they should think more thoroughly: "Xiang has the identity of a person outside the member, the old lady of the Xiang family also had some old friends in the officialdom back then, and the scholars have always liked to hold together, and pay attention to the same year as the protΓ©gΓ©, if we can really find out any amazing evidence, then that's it, these are all details." But if we don't find anything, it's a sin. ”

"Besides, Xiang Yuanwai is dizzy at the moment, we go past him and search his mansion directly, and in the future, he bites back, saying that he has missing property in the house, what do we say? He is not a flat-headed person, and he is not a person who can handle it if he wants to. And the people below may not be clean, if someone really does something petty, the two of us are selfless and selfish, and we can't argue. ”

Daoist Zhou hissed: "It's indeed a bit tricky. ”

He looked at Qi Xuansu again and asked, "I wonder what Brother Wei has in mind?" ”

Qi Xuansu originally wanted to push the two-six-five, but after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't you invite the local magistrate over?" He is in charge of the affairs of a county, and he is in charge of raising people, talents, and children, and we invite him over, and we don't need him to send someone to search the house, as long as he is a witness. ”

"Brother Wei, this is a good idea." "If he is willing to bear witness, then even if we don't find anything, it can prove that we are not acting on our own initiative." If he refuses to bear witness to this matter, then he will not be able to escape the responsibility of being involved in any follow-up in the future, and the unfavorable handling of the case. ”

Qi Xuansu secretly said that there are many people's hearts, although this Qingluan Wei is from the military, but it is not bad at all, he only thought of the first layer, he has already thought of the second layer.

Try 100 households and say: "I will personally go to ask the county lord." ”

Daoist Zhou instructed again: "Just Daomen, the man in black, and Qingluanwei have all arrived, and he, the representative of the civil official, can't be absent." If he shrinks his head this time, the next time he deliberates, he will see what kind of face he has to speak loudly. ”

"It's the pole, it's the pole." Try Baihu nodded with a smile, turned around and strode away.

After waiting for more than half a day, not long after Xiang Yuanwai woke up, the local magistrate and the trial hundred households who went to ask for people also arrived.

Because this dynasty does not emphasize literature over martial arts, Confucianism also began to advocate the revival of the six arts of the gentleman, that is, etiquette, music, royal, mathematics, calligraphy, archery, the royal is to ride a horse and drive, so although the county lord is a civil official, but never sat in a sedan chair, but braved the wind and snow all the way to ride over.

Although the magistrate was somewhat reluctant, he could only come forward with this incident. And everything can't just think about the worst, if it is done badly, he will certainly have to take responsibility, but if he can solve the case, he, the magistrate, also has a contribution.

So the magistrate conveyed to Xiang Rulin the decision to search for Xiang's house, and after Xiang Rulin's protest was fruitless, his eyes were black again, and he fainted again.

Daoist Zhou was proficient in medical skills, examined Xiang Rulin, and said: "Although it is said that he is in a hurry, the bones of Xiang Yuan's body are too weak, and his yang qi is slightly insufficient. ”

Try Baihu said: "I don't see that people of a handful of age outside the staff are still so unrestrained in that regard." ”

"It's a lack of yang energy, not a lack of essence." Zhou Daoist said helplessly, "Yang and Yin are two incompatible things, if they are in the same room, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind, in other words, either the yin energy extinguishes the yang energy, or the yang energy extinguishes the yin energy, as for the harmony of yin and yang, that is the ability of the real people of the Taoist sect." ”

Try 100 households are martial artists, Zhixian is a Confucian disciple, for the way of yin and yang, they are not as good as the Taoist Zhou from Taoism, Zhixian couldn't help asking: "What will happen if the yang is weak?" ”

Daoist Zhou said: "The body is weak, and external evil enters the body. The entry of external evil into the body will make the body weaker, and so on and so forth, until death. If the yin qi on the body is too heavy, even if you are afraid of death, you will not be at peace, and there is a hidden danger of corpses. ”

Hearing this, the trial hundred households said: "It seems that it is urgent to search the Xiang Mansion. ”

Daoist Zhou nodded and said, "Search it, at least eighty percent sure." ”

Try 100 households no longer hesitated, strode out, gathered the Qingluanwei they brought, first explained the task, and then emphasized discipline, and then the Qingluanwei scattered and searched in the Xiang house. Although the trial of 100 households has emphasized discipline, but the Qingluan guards are not good men and women, it is inevitable to be arrogant, shouting loudly, and even for a while, it can be described as chickens flying and dogs jumping, so lively.

The people who watched the excitement outside saw this scene, rumors were spreading, and there was a murder at the beginning, and the eldest wife and the second wife were harmed, and then it became a lawsuit outside the Xiang Yuan, and in the end, it became a big crime committed by the Xiang Yuan, and the government was raided.

There is no such thing as public outrage, but there are many people who gloat.

Taking advantage of the search, Daoist Zhou introduced Qi Xuansu to the magistrate, who did not dare to slack off, and was very polite, and the two saluted each other. Qi Xuansu couldn't help but sigh, whether he had that level of identity or not was really crucial, if he didn't have the identity of a man in black, even if he had the cultivation of the Jade Void stage, it would be impossible to be treated with such courtesy.

In the blink of an eye it was already dark, and the search was almost complete, except for a small garden, the gate closed and locked with iron.

Qi Xuansu, Daoist Zhou, Zhixian, and Tryan Hundred Households all came to the door of the small garden, and the Qingluan guards all held torches, illuminating it brightly.

At this time, the heavy snow had stopped, and the trial hundred households called the housekeeper of the Xiang Mansion over, pointed to the garden gate, and asked, "What is here?" ”

"This is the cemetery of our master's original match." The housekeeper glanced at the hundred households timidly, and when he saw his sharp gaze, he hurriedly lowered his head again, "The eldest lady who disappeared was renewed later." ”

Zhixian said: "It's a joke, how can anyone build a cemetery in their own home?" ”

The steward knew that something was wrong at this time, and hurriedly cleared himself: "Who said no, but the master insisted on this, and we couldn't stop it, and no one was allowed to set foot on half a step on weekdays, and we didn't know what was inside." ”

Try Baihu said: "So, you don't have a key?" ”

The steward bowed his head: "Yes." ”

Try Baihu waved his hand to make him stand down, and then motioned with his eyes to let the two Qingluan guards watch him closely, and then said to the three: "What do you mean by three?" ”

Daoist Zhou and Zhixian glanced at each other and said, "It seems that it can only be slamming the door." ”

Qi Xuansu, who had not spoken, spoke: "This matter started because of me, so I will take action." ”

Try 100 households immediately said: "Okay." ”

Qi Xuansu didn't talk nonsense, he stepped out suddenly, stepped deep into the ground, and while stopping his forward momentum, the whole person was like a bow like a full moon, and a punch that shrank in his chest was a bow and an arrow, and then a punch was blasted out, like a bed crossbow shot, like a firecracker exploding, and the whole action was done in one go in an instant.

"Good punch!" Try 100 households to be martial artists, the most knowledgeable goods, only feel that the eyes are bright.

The next moment, Qi Xuansu landed on the door with a punch.

In an instant, an illusory magic circle appeared on the door, but in the face of a punch blessed by true qi and blood qi, this simple magic circle only lasted for a moment, and then it completely shattered, and then the garden gate was also shattered.

Seeing this scene, Zhixian and Daoist Zhou couldn't help but shrink their heads, secretly thinking that if this punch fell on them, they would not die, and they would lose most of their lives.

Qi Xuansu clenched his fists and took the lead in entering the cemetery.

The other three followed, followed by Qingluanwei, the official officer, and the Taoist priest.

As soon as they entered the cemetery, several people couldn't help but gasp.

This is a cemetery, and there is a masonry tomb in the center, but around the tomb there are many white bones, and you can recognize it as human bones at a glance.

Such scenes are easily reminiscent of a poem: "The bones are exposed in the wilderness, and there is no rooster crowing for a thousand miles." ”

Daoist Zhou came to a white bone, this white bone was obviously different from the surrounding white bones, with a faint jade white color, it should be the remains left by a person who had achieved cultivation, and beside him, there was also an iron gossip, which seemed to be some kind of magic weapon, but it had been damaged.

Daoist Zhou sighed lightly, pointed to the white bones and said, "This should be the person who wrote the talisman on the wall of the guest room, and he was really poisoned." ”

At this time, the magistrate knew that he had to make a decision, and said in a deep voice: "Immediately arrest Xiang Rulin, block Xiang's house, and no one is allowed to escape." ”

Try 100 households waved their hands.

The officials and Qingluanwei immediately dispersed.

There was another cry in Xiang's house.

The rumors turned true all at once.
