Two days later, Shangyuan City.

Shangyuan County Ya.

"How can this be true, how can it be true...... Ahem...... Ahem, cough, cough ......" Thorn Shi Li Yan slapped the table angrily, "In my Tangzhou realm, there are such rampant people, it's just lawless!" Ahem......"

"Master Li......" Yuan Xingtai on the side hurriedly comforted, "You have just contracted the cold and have not recovered, but you should pay attention to your body!" ”

"What kind of sin have I created!" Li Yan was sympathetic and trembling, "Then Li Gu County is less than a hundred miles away from Wude City, if this is spread to the top, I will not be blamed!"

"Is the Wude County Shou a dry eater, such a bad view, he didn't even check it!?

"The most infuriating thing is that Xingchuan County Order, he is actually complicit with the bandits, I can't wait to cut off his head!"

"Your Excellency," Xu Zun advised, "we have already interrogated the Xingchuan County Commander, and according to the confessions of him and his entourage, I am afraid that he does not know about the deeds of the Heavenly Temple.

"In the end, he only admitted to accepting bribes, and said that he didn't know anything about the crimes of the practice room and Yuyangzi and others!"

"This is pure shirking!" Li Yan shook his head helplessly, "Chongtianguan obviously has money of unknown origin, instead of noticing, he accepted bribes, and now that something has happened, I don't know what to talk about?"

"Ji Ying," Li Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Torture!" This kind of bastard county order, he can't be too cheap! ”

"My lord," Xu Zun arched his hand, "I have already used it, otherwise, he would not confess so happily."

"But...... Combined with the confessions of the watchers, this county order should not know much......"

"Hmm......" Li Yan pondered for a while and asked Xu Zun, "Those escaped bandits, and what kind of courtyard is there, how did you find out?" ”

"In the past two days, we have successively captured a few escaped bandits," Xu Zun said, "As for Luo Yu, who is in charge of the courtyard, he is nowhere to be found." Since this person has the guts to kill Yuyangzi, he must have been fully prepared, I'm afraid it will be difficult to catch him! ”

"Ahem...... Li Yan covered his mouth and coughed a few more times, and then continued to ask, "That girl from the Lu Family Bookstore, how is it now?" ”

"Well," Xu Zun frowned slightly, and replied, "Lu Xiaofeng is still in the Hou Mansion, although he has woken up, but ...... But his spirit was a little trance-like, and he couldn't ask anything inside.

"I'm afraid, she has been greatly stimulated and needs psychological counseling to recover, right?"

"Psychological counseling?" Li Yan had never heard of this term, and immediately smacked his lips and said, "Tut...... Let's hope she recovers soon!

"By the way, Ji Ying," he thought of something, and asked again, "I heard that with the girl of the Lu family, there is another woman from Yuanzhou?" ”

"Yes," Xu Zun replied, "she said that she was the personal maid of the barbarian county lord of Yuanzhou Haimier County, and her name was Timur Ani. ”

"Wonju...... Ahem...... "Li Yan was confused, "How could he come from so far away?" What the hell did she say? ”

"This Timur Ani," Xu Zun said, "said that she was taken captive from her hometown four years ago, when she was only thirteen years old.

She said that once she attended a banquet in the tribe with the county lord, and was stunned by something during the banquet, and was taken captive by gangsters from then on.

"In the past four years, she has been resold several times, and finally ended up in this Chongtian Temple," Xu Zun said, "according to her own estimates, she stayed at the Chongtian Temple for about a month, because the Lord of the Temple gave her an elixir, which caused her to be sometimes awake and sometimes psychedelic......"

"That's the case...... These people really deserve a thousand cuts! Ahem......"

Due to his excitement, Li Yan coughed more and more, and finally took a sip of tea, but was choked by the tea and coughed even more fiercely.

At this moment, in the inner hall of the county government, in addition to Li Yan, Xu Zun, Yuan Xingtai and Ju Ran, there is also the county guard Taimin.

It stands to reason that Chongtian Temple is located in the territory of Mudeok-gun, and this matter has nothing to do with Taemin.

However, Taemin is still the same as before, and he still looks like a wreck, submissive.

No matter what others say, he just doesn't say a word.

Especially when he saw Xu Zun, those two eyes never dared to look at Xu Zun, obviously deliberately dodging.

Depend on......

Xu Zun secretly wondered, is this the nature of this county guard, or does he still have some little secret?

"Master Li," said Yuan Xingtai at this time, "you don't have to think that Yuanzhou is far away from us, in fact, this Haimier County is in the northeast of Qinzhou, if you start from Wude City, you can reach it in four or five days!" ”

"Oh......" Li Yan nodded and asked, "Has Captain Yuan heard of this...... What kind of county lord? ”

"It's the lord of Ashoka of the barbarians." Xu Zun reminded.

"I only know that the Naiban tribe is the Yuanzhou clan, when Taizu founded the country, and the leader of the Naiban tribe in Yuanzhou was a brother of the opposite sex, so after the establishment of Daxuan, many tribal county kings were entitled.

"Although the daughter of the county king is also called the county lord, she is much worse than the Central Plains in terms of rank, at best, she is just a nobleman.

"As for this Lord of Ashoka, I haven't heard of it yet!"

"In other words," Li Yan pondered, "this girl is just a maid from a big family." In that case, is it necessary to send her back? ”

"My lord," Xu Zun hurriedly said, "It doesn't matter if you send it back or not, the important thing is that we have to confirm her identity first!" ”

"Is this ......" Li Yan was puzzled, "is this still necessary?" ”

"My lord, she's seventeen years old," Xu Zun said, "we can't just listen to her, right?" ”

"Okay!" Li Yan thought about it again, and then said, "Since this is the case, then leave it to you to be responsible!"

"Ji Ying, the Chongtianguan incident has a great impact, although it is all done by a group of outright bad bandits, but after all, this matter is related to the national religion Xuandao, but it can be big or small!

"If this matter is not handled well, I am afraid that the saint will condemn him, so ......" he pointed at Xu Zun, "You hurry up and prepare and go back to Wude City with me!" ”

"What?" Xu Zun was surprised, "Now go back to Wude City?" ”

"Of course," Li Yan said, "Chongtianguan is under the jurisdiction of Wude County, so I can't handle this case in Shangyuan County, right?"

"You hurry up and plan to bring all the physical evidence back to Wude City. We have to investigate this case from the state capital, which can be regarded as justifiable! ”

"This ......" Xu Zun wanted to speak and stopped.

"How?" Li Yan was puzzled, "Do you have a problem?" Ji Ying, you are now sentenced in Tangzhou, you have to help me share such a serious case! ”

"My lord," Xu Zun said, "to thoroughly investigate this case, it is naturally the duty of the lowly to do so, but ...... The case of the corpse of the monk and the clothed woman, it is still ......"

"Oh...... So you're still thinking about this case! Li Yan frowned.

"My lord," Xu Zun said, "Chongtianguan has been copied, and all that remains is the finishing touches, but that monk clothes killer will still make a move!"

"If you extrapolate from the case ten years ago, it is very likely that he is already planning the next murder!"

"Ji Ying, I didn't mean to embarrass you, but ......," Li Yan persuaded, "you have to know which is more important!"

"The Chongtianguan incident started because of you, this matter can be big or small, your new official does not understand the sinister officialdom when he takes office, if it is not handled properly, it is very likely to destroy his future. So ......"

"Your Excellency!" Xu Zun clasped his fists and said resolutely, "Please give me three days!"

"If I can take that monk-robed killer back to Wude City, will my future be more secure!?"
