The rumors of the city soon reached Li Yunxiao's ears, and he was furious in the court, and threw the recitals handed by the ministers all over the ground.

"It's all a bunch of waste! Feng Ke, are you tired of staying in the position of the commander of the governor? Are you going to slap me in the face by letting the murderer go unpunished in this Shangqiu City? Spread my will, you are limited to arrest the murderer within five days, otherwise General Feng, you and those two local officials will go home to recuperate!"

The holy decree was quickly sent to Nan'an Mansion, and after Duke Zou finished announcing his will and left, Feng Ke took the holy decree and sat in the front hall, he picked up the tea on the table and took one sip after another without saying a word.

Shen Cong'an and the others were still kneeling in the hall and didn't dare to get up, especially Cao Fuyin, who came in a hurry to receive the order, was obviously tired and sweating profusely, but he was so frightened by the holy decree that he didn't even dare to breathe.

After Feng Ke finished drinking a cup of tea, he finally came to his senses.

"Now that you have a clear will, if you can't arrest the murderer as soon as possible, I'm afraid that our head will not be saved, so you can do it yourself!"

With that, he left the decree on the table and got up to leave.

Shen Yan secretly turned sideways and watched him walk out of the courtyard with his peripheral vision, only then did he dare to move, he sat on the ground and hammered his thigh.

"Drinking tea for so long, what a stinky shelf, it makes my legs numb!"

Shen Cong'an got up and took the holy decree and examined it, he said.

"Now that there is no clue about this case, I wonder what Zhao Gongzi will find on his trip today?"

"If you go back to your lordship, Xia Guan does have some ideas, we need to send people to investigate everywhere to see if anyone has directly or indirectly inquired about the show girl, maybe there will be unexpected gains. In addition, this Changqing Temple is also very suspicious, and someone needs to interrogate it in detail. ”

Thanks to the painting, he found the key clues, and now that the identity of the third deceased is confirmed to be in the list of Xiu Nu, then the murderer's target is obvious. The only thing that makes him feel strange is that the first deceased died even though he was not selected as a show girl, is the murderer confusing the public or has another plan?

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, he does not know the list of show girls, and the identities of those who died are all inquired about by him or known from other places.

Zhao Wuwu once interrogated the young lady's maid outside Li Yuanwai's family, according to her description, their young lady is a person with a proud personality, who likes to fight for the best in everything, if a person with such a character loses the election, he must be ashamed to say this, then it is very likely that the murderer has a wrong judgment.

Shen Cong'an thought for a while, and then said: "In that case, let my son go to assist you in your investigation, as for I'll take a few people to Changqing Temple in person!"

Shen Yan jumped up anxiously when he heard this, and he said indignantly: "Why do you want me to assist him in handling the case, he has his own arms and legs, and a mouth of rhetoric, I can go smoothly wherever I am interrogated!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Cong'an's calm face instantly frowned, and Shen Yan, who looked at him directly, was immediately stunned.

"Oh, okay, okay, can't I go?"

After patting the dust on his buttocks, he shook his sleeves and walked out of the door, not forgetting to whisper: "What kind of world is this...... How can Lao Tzu let his own son go up to serve others, it's unreasonable!"

As soon as he turned around and saw Zhao Wuwu still standing there without moving, he couldn't help but roll his eyes.

"I said Zhao Gongzi, don't you hurry up, do you still want me to carry you?"

Shen Yan said, and when his father was about to rush up and give him a flying leg, he pulled Zhao Wuwu and ran out of the door.

Shen Cong'an looked at his son's disappearing back and couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother Lu, tell me about my son, eighty percent of the sins created in the previous life, and he came to me to collect debts in this life!"

Lu Jingyi smiled and said nothing, and after Shen Cong'an sighed to himself, he talked about business again.

"Then Brother Lu will also go to Changqing Temple with me, and Master Cao might as well ...... Where's Lord Cao?"

He looked around, only to find that Cao Pan had disappeared without knowing when, and his skill of slipping away without paying attention was really amazing.

It's also a coincidence, Zhao Wuwu and Shen Yan inquired all the way, but they didn't hear the news about the show girl, but they had an unexpected gain. They inquired about a person, and this person was the fake Taoist Liu Ming in Lu Jingyi's mouth. However, everyone is convinced of his swaggering and deceptive methods, and when they meet people, they will say how clever this person's immortal skills are, and there is an endless stream of people who come to his house every day to ask for talismans.

The two of them decided to meet this person, so they pretended to ask for a talisman and lined up to visit, and finally it was their turn, and Shen Yan went up and put the sword on his table.

"You look like this thief, no wonder you like to swagger and deceive, if you do a serious business, it is estimated that customers will be scared to death when they see you like this!"

When Liu Ming saw that Bacheng was here to find fault, he immediately stood up and shouted: "I am a roving Taoist priest who has descended from the mountain of Guanyun Dao, and I have come to Pudu to solve disasters for everyone, if you dare to move me, I will be punished by God!"

Shen Yan immediately sneered.

"Yohe, why didn't I know that we had a fake Taoist priest like you who was willing to be abducted and deceived in our Cloud Dao?

Liu Ming's face changed as soon as he heard this, but he still stubbornly said nonsense: "I think you are the one who is pretending to deliberately slander me and disrupt my business." Come and see, these two liars want to frame me, whoever helps me get them out, I will give you all the evil charms for today!"

As soon as the people who came to ask for talismans heard that there was a free talisman, they immediately rushed in and crowded the house, and the two of them were caught in the crowd, watching Liu Ming slip away like this.

It took them a long time to squeeze out of the crowd, holding on to the wall outside the door and gasping for air.

Shen Yan said helplessly: "These people's brains are in water, and they can't tell the truth from the fake!"

At this time, Zhao Wuwu suddenly saw a little beggar who looked like he was seven or eight years old, sneakily hiding in the alley opposite and looking this way. Zhao Wuwu gave Shen Yan a hint, and the two of them casually walked away and bypassed, and when the little beggar found out, he had been outflanked before and after.

"Kid, what are you peeking at?"

Shen Yan stepped forward with a shyness on his face, and the little beggar was forced to have no way to retreat, so he could only lean against the wall and slowly squat down.

"Uncle Taoist said, you can't tell others that I'm here to keep watch, otherwise you won't be able to give me meat buns to eat every day. ”

Shen Yan couldn't help but laugh out loud after hearing this.

"This Liu Ming is really okay, and he also found a child to help him sentry, I don't know if there is a ghost in my heart!"

Zhao Wuwu squatted down and said softly to the little beggar: "We are not others, we are our own people." Uncle can also give you some silver, and you can buy a lot of buns to eat!"

Then he stretched out his hand to Shen Yan, who turned around and looked at him with a questioning expression.

"You said you wanted to buy him buns, why do you want me to pay for it!"

Zhao Wuwu said indifferently: "I was in a hurry to go out, so I didn't bring it." ”

Okay, Shen Yan slowly took out twenty wen from his money bag and put it in his hand.

"Now, that's what you owe me!"

Zhao Wuwu put the silver in the little beggar's hand, and he said: "You can go to the steamed bun shop in front of you to buy ten meat buns to eat, and when the Taoist uncle comes back, you can go to the official mansion at the corner in front and tell the official at the door, we can also give you money to buy ten more steamed buns!"

After the little beggar took the money, he looked at them timidly and said, "Are you bad people?"

Shen Yan squatted down and whispered: "How can we be bad people, we are friends of Uncle Daoist, we want to secretly surprise him, and when he comes back, invite him to tea, so you must not tell him!"

When the little beggar heard this, he nodded happily and ran to buy buns. Only the two of them glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled.
