Chapter Ninety-Nine: Tracking
Jin Dou Cheng Mansion.
"Master, it's not good, it's not good, it's not good!"
County Cheng Tao Wei sat in the main hall to review the official documents, and was busy when he heard a panicked voice outside the house.
"It's a big deal!"
A catcher in a soap suit looked nervous and rushed in through the door.
"Presumptuous, what kind of system?!"
Seeing this, Tao Wei put down the official document in his hand, looked displeased, and slowly scolded: "What happened, how panicked!" ”
"Could it be that the monster was caught by the gods?"
Looking at the panicked catcher below, this thought suddenly came to his mind.
However, before he could be happy, he was happy to get rid of the monster, and the next piece of news was like a thunderbolt from the sky, instantly beating him.
"It's the son who turned into a monster and was beaten to death!" Soapsuit Catcher hurriedly explained.
"What? What did you say? ”
Tao Wei was dumbfounded, his eyes were wide open, his eyes were full of unbelieving divine light, and he shouted angrily: "You said that Wu'er became a monster and died? ”
"What the hell is going on? Hurry up and talk to the official..."
With a bang, he jumped up from his seat, looked eager, and ran to the soap suit to catch the fast, his eyes full of solemnity, staring at the other party.
Once the other party's explanation makes him feel unsatisfied, then he will be punished with anger.
"Tao Gongzi, he was killed and turned into a gray-skinned fox..."
Cold sweat flowed from his forehead, and when he met the angry gaze of the old man in front of him, he was stunned for a while, and he could only narrate what happened in the Chen Mansion one by one.
"You mean Yuan'er, who was beaten to death by that madman Zhang Tao?"
Tao Wei was incredulous, his face changed, he didn't want to believe what the other party said, he muttered to himself: "Impossible, the old man specially told Yuan'er not to go out in the near future, how could he lead the errand to Chen's mansion?" ”
In an instant, he thought about it a lot, and his mind gradually became calmer, carefully analyzing the flaws.
After thinking for a moment, his face was gloomy as water, he looked up at the front, and ordered: "Go back to the mansion quickly and see if the prince is still in the mansion?" ”
"The monster is insidious and cunning, and is good at changing human forms, it is possible that the monster that was killed is the identity of the distant child..."
Until now, the county Cheng Taowei does not want to believe that his child died tragically, and can't wait to verify his conjecture.
Prove that nothing happened to your child!
"Quick, verify it!"
The more he thought about it, the more bottomless he became, and an inexplicable panic hung over his heart, making him feel irritable.
"Yes, my subordinates will go!"
The soap suit was so frightened that he crawled with fright, when had he ever seen the county master so angry, and his eyes seemed to be eating people.
Without any hesitation, he said yes one after another, ran away, and rushed out with a nervous mood.
Tao Wei was uneasy, watching his subordinates leave with their front feet, and a group of hurried officials poured into the hall with their back feet.
I saw them holding the hilt of their knives in one hand and carrying a heavy package in the other, and the package spread out, and the corpse of a gray-haired fox with blurred flesh and blood appeared in the lobby.
"Back to the master, the god hunted the lord and killed a fox demon!" There is a quick reply with a complicated face.
"This is the fox demon who is the culprit who killed babies in the city!"
A catcher strode forward, clasped his hands into fists, and saluted: "Master, this fox demon corpse was transformed into a son before!" ”
"We all agree that this fox demon is cunning and cruel, and Childe may have ......"
Halfway through speaking, he stopped talking, not daring to continue.
Although his words were not finished, the meaning was self-evident.
As soon as he heard the words in his ear, Tao Wei's eyes instantly became cold, and he said coldly: "Evil words confuse the public, an hour ago, this official still saw Yuan'er in the yamen, how could he encounter an accident?" ”
"If you wait for a bunch of nonsense, do you know how serious the consequences of rumor-mongering are?"
An angry shout immediately shocked the full hall of officials, and frightened them to their knees on the ground, sincerely frightened.
"Master, the chivalrous warrior who killed the fox demon said that it is Young Master Tao who has transformed into this demon!"
Seeing this, the catcher stiffened his head and slowly explained: "It's not us who are talking nonsense! ”
"Hmph, that madman Zhang Tao actually cursed Wu'er like this, what a bold act!" Tao Wei was furious.
At this time, the soap suit that had gone out before caught it quickly, went and returned, and ran into the lobby in a panic.
"Master, master, the son is not in the house!"
He was out of breath and replied nervously: "According to the introduction of the servants in the house, the prince went out early in the morning and didn't come back..."
Bang dang!
Tao Wei's body was unstable, he fell to the ground with his butt, his eyes were distracted, staring at the fox corpse in front of him, and muttered: "Could it be that Yuan'er really suffered an accident?" ”
"Die! Damn it! ”
Immediately, his face was distorted, his eyes were bloodshot, he raised his head to look at the officers, and roared, "What are you doing standing here? Don't let the whole city find the whereabouts of Wu'er! ”
"If you can't come back, you don't have to come back!" He roared hoarsely.
"Whoa!"
The crowd was relieved and amnesty, and they left the government in panic and nervously, and hurried to the lively street.
Looking at the streets where people come and go, they are in trouble for a while, and there is a vast sea of people, where to look?
"Zheng Zhutou, Jin Dou City is so big, where should we go to find it?" A catcher asked with a sad face.
"Go find the jade-faced Shura God Catcher, she must have a clue..."
After a moment of silence, Zheng Zhutou's eyes rolled, and the figures of Xie Ziwei and Zhang Tao instantly appeared in his mind, as long as they followed behind them, there would definitely be unexpected gains.
As soon as he said it, he immediately waved his arms and rushed towards the post station where the ninth princess parked the carriage.
.....
"Brother Zhang, the goddess should be in this station."
The little monk had a calm look in his eyes, pointed to the heavily guarded post station in front of him, turned to look at Zhang Tao, and said, "It is said that the ninth princess of the dynasty is resting here. ”
"Well, in that case, let's go to find the jade-faced Shura and tell her the news of this Bai Zhi."
Zhang Tao nodded, strode forward, looked at the well-equipped royal guards in front of him, and said kindly: "I'm tired of informing you, we have important information to inform the jade-faced Shura Divine Capture..."
Before the words fell, I saw a beautiful figure in red walking out of the door of the post station, she held her head high and came to everyone.
"Zhang Tao, I heard you say that you found Bai Zhi's whereabouts?"
A flash of surprise flashed in Xie Ziwei's eyes, she looked at the mature and steady man in green shirt in front of her, and said tentatively: "How long has it been, you have just investigated clearly?" ”
If it weren't for worrying about the safety of the Ninth Princess, he wouldn't have left suddenly halfway, for fear that something would have gone wrong at the post station.
She couldn't believe that she had only left the unpleasant half a cup of tea when the other party found her with information.
The speed with which the case was solved was unimaginable.
"Well, Bai Zhi may have been kidnapped by the people of the Su Clan's Medicine Hall!"
Zhang Tao bowed, calm, and organized, and then analyzed his and everyone's guesses one by one, and finally waited for the other party's decision.
"Su's Medicinal Hall?"
Hearing this, Xie Ziwei muttered to herself, with a thoughtful look on her face, and whispered: "At that time, you found a sense of watching in front of the pharmacy, but I didn't expect your inspiration to be so keen." ”
She showed a satisfied look, nodded and praised: "No wonder Lin Bufan would say that you are a rare talent, when I saw you today, it was really so." ”
"Acting decisively, calmly in the face of problems, and thinking carefully, he is indeed a good hand at solving cases!"
Xie Ziwei rarely smiled, threw an olive branch to the other party, and said, "If you can't stay in the Heaven Survey Division anymore, you can come to my six doors!" ”
"The door of the six doors will always be open for you!"
As she spoke, she smiled, waved her sleeves, and commanded the surrounding guards and the six gates: "Take care of the safety of the princess, I will go back if I have something to do, and you must not slack off!"
"Whoa!"
At the sound of an order, all the guards responded in unison: "Swear to protect the princess's safety to the death." ”
"Let's go, let's do it quickly!"
Seeing this, Xie Ziwei acted resolutely, turned her head to look at Zhang Tao and the others, and her figure quickly swept in the direction of Su's Medicine Hall.
"Keep up!"
Zhang Tao touched his nose and looked at the other party's sturdy and plump back, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but show a knowing smile.
Immediately, he strode forward, followed closely behind the other party, shuttled through the crowd, and rushed towards the location where the Su Clan's Medicine Hall was.
However, this scene happened to be seen by the group of ambitious government officials, who didn't say a word, and immediately gathered everyone to follow each other silently.
"Quick, Lord God Catcher, they must have some clues, let's follow quickly."
As a result, on the bustling streets, there was a group of people who were hurrying and galloping.
Rumble!
Xie Ziwei took the lead, and her vigorous figure fell from the sky and landed in the lobby of Su's pharmacy without disguise, with a monstrous majesty.
"Where's the steward?" She glanced around with a cold gaze.
Except for a few busy medicine grabbing guys in the pharmacy, there was no doctor sitting in the hall.
Seeing that there was no reaction in the hall, she took off the waist card on her waist, flashed at the guys in the store, and shouted: "Six doors to handle the case, and the idlers will leave as soon as possible!" ”
As soon as these words came out, many patients waiting to catch the medicine in the pharmacy dispersed in a hurry and ran outside the house, not daring to stay here any longer, so as not to cause trouble.
Seeing this, a medicine grabbing guy also wanted to take advantage of the chaos to escape together, but was stopped by Zhang Tao, who came later.
"Where do you want to go?"
The corners of Zhang Tao's mouth rose, his eyes flashed with gray light, staring at the guy in front of him, and he shouted in a low voice: "What is your doctor in the hall, and where is he?" ”
"The little master, surnamed Su, with his honorific name, left early because of something at home." The man replied with a look of fear on his face.
"Not at the pharmacy?"
Hearing this, Zhang Tao raised his eyebrows, and an unsurprising expression appeared on his face.
Immediately, he asked: "Then do you know where Su Jingci is now, take me and others quickly, otherwise you won't be able to eat and walk around." ”
"Master Su's residence is in the pharmacy, enter from the back door, and you can arrive in less than half a tea time."
That guy was very clever, looking at Zhang Tao, Xie Ziwei and the others with serious expressions, he suddenly understood that something very serious had happened, and even the officials of the six doors were alarmed.
Could it be that Master Su is some kind of Jiangyang thief and has committed something big?
He thought wildly in his heart, but his body was very sincere, and he consciously walked in front to lead the way for everyone.
"Ladies and gentlemen, did Su Jingci commit something big?" The fellow asked cautiously.
"Humph!"
Zhang Tao snorted coldly and warned: "Don't ask what you shouldn't know!" ”
"Yes, yes, the little one is too talkative!" The man shrunk his neck and glanced at the crowd behind him in fear.
It didn't take a while.
Zhang Tao and the others came to the residence of the doctor sitting in the Su Medicine Hall.
"This is it?"
Xie Ziwei's eyes were cold, and she looked at the ordinary courtyard in front of her, and said, "Go and call the door!" ”
Knock knock!
There was a knock on the door.
"Master Su, there is a seriously ill patient in the pharmacy who needs you to go to the doctor!"
The young man understood, slammed on the door, and called out several times in succession into the courtyard.
However, there was no response in the house, it was silent, as if there was no one in the house, silent.
Then, he turned to look at Zhang Tao and said with a flattering smile: "Official, that old man is not at home!" ”
Rumble!
Without saying a word, Zhang Tao kicked open the wooden door in front of him and took the lead in breaking into the courtyard.
"Search around to see if there's anything suspicious!"
Xie Ziwei stood in the courtyard, her eyes were like torches, and she carefully scanned the surrounding environment.
"Amitabha, there's a secret room on this side of the stove!"
After a long time, the little monk Lichen was the first to make a discovery, and the sound of surprise sounded in the kitchen.
