Chapter 456: Denounce each other
He explained that with the marketing of medicinal materials across the country, the water consumption of Zhitian Township is increasing, and he hopes that the upstream can open up and increase the volume. But the Pig Demons refused, because damming them would destroy their territory.
"Isn't that something that can be reconciled and compensated?" He Lingchuan also worked as a coordinator in Dunyu.
One of the villagers couldn't help but sneer, "Although they are pigs, they like lions to open their mouths."
It seems that the pigs want to add money, so they didn't talk about it.
He Lingchuan took a sip of wine: "So, who is the most beneficial to the whole litter of pigs?"
As soon as everyone heard that the wind was wrong, they all clarified: "My lord, it has nothing to do with us!"
"We just collect some medicinal herbs here and sell them, and all we earn is errand money, how can it harm people's minds and abilities!"
He Lingchuan smiled: "Generally speaking, whoever benefits the most is suspicious."
Some big households said indignantly: "Adults can't say this, we are conscientious, and Zhitian Township has prospered, why has it become the most suspicious? If it weren't for us, those medicine farmers and tenants, those ......
He wanted to say "youkai", but he was pushed by his companion on the side, and suddenly changed his words: "...... How can they have a good life now?"
"Yes, yes, the abundance of Shibata Township is far better than that of other places, and we have done our best."
The Baishi County Commander hurriedly said, "My lord, didn't you say that this might be a monster? And the victims are all over Chiyan, so what does it have to do with these village sages?"
He Lingchuan's gaze swept over everyone's faces, "Which of you has dealt with the Pig Demon head-on?"
The crowd was silent.
Jiao Yu looked at the Baishi County Order: "You should always know, right?"
The Baishi County Commander had no choice but to bite the bullet and point it out to He Lingchuan one by one.
The three big families here have all dealt with the pig demon, and even had festivals, and their surnames are Wang, Li and Tu.
The three of them defended themselves one after another, saying that they were absolutely harmless.
General Antelope shaved his hooves irritably.
He Lingchuan looked at them for a long time, and saw that the three of them were numb in their hearts, and then sighed: "I just asked so routinely, don't go to your heart."
Li Dahu cautiously asked, "If the murderer is really caught, what crime will he be sentenced to?"
"Murdering the Spiritual Messenger is at least a sin of killing the head."
General Ling added on the side: "Zhu Sanclan."
As soon as he opened his mouth, he was murderous, and everyone choked up, not knowing how to answer.
The meal was over quickly.
Back at the inn, He Lingchuan washed his hands and face.
In midsummer July, the night is not necessarily cool, and even the cicadas have been calling until now.
General Ling brought his own guards to open a room next door.
There was a large water tank in the courtyard, full of clear water, and the tiger simply jumped into the water to cool off, while asking He Lingchuan: "Do you really think that the case is related to these big households?"
The Baishi County Order makes sense, the murderer committed crimes all over the country, what does it have to do with the local big households?
These big families are all ordinary human beings, and they don't even have a single cultivator.
"We got Fushan Ji's information, and basically there were only two or three victims in each case, one or two people, or one or two youkai. Even those sheep thieves who came to steal my rock sheep only had one goal." He Lingchuan said, "This is a smart approach, and it is not easy to attract attention."
"But the Diamond Beast case broke the mold, and there were more than twenty victims at once."
"If tomorrow we can determine that the Milli Pig Clan was also killed by our murderers, then a year ago it had an even greater appetite and directly killed more than a hundred victims."
He Lingchuan said slowly: "These two anomalies, the place where the crime occurred is only thirty or forty miles apart. Maybe it was just an accident, but if I'm not mistaken, what is the reason for the murderer's killing spree?"
Jiao Yu didn't know how to answer.
Killing one or two people, two or three youkai may also be speculated to be for the sake of hunger.
Hundreds?
This may seem like a simple purpose.
"It's not simple." He Lingchuan said seriously, "
Don't forget, the messengers sent by Lingxu City have all died at their hands. No one usually dares to attack a messenger, does he?"
Jiao Yu was moved: "According to what you say, there are foreign female cadres in Zhitian Township?"
"You'll have to find the killer to tell." He Lingchuan suddenly said something irrelevant, "I thought that Bega was really the ideal country for the monsters. Now, it may not be so."
Jiao Yu didn't answer.
It didn't rain tonight, and He Lingchuan didn't feel sleepy, so he simply pulled out the dragon gun and practiced marksmanship for half an hour.
After he realized the marksmanship from the Panlong Dream Realm, he practiced diligently, and the time exceeded the knife technique.
This marksmanship only has sixteen mantras, which is more concise than the knife technique.
The gun is the king of a hundred soldiers, and the difficulty of practicing is much greater than that of the sword. Fortunately, martial arts pay attention to all the way and all the way, and his own realm has been raised, and the practice of guns is not far behind.
What's more, he has seen General Hong, Xiao Maoliang and Hong Chengluo make a move, all of which deserve to be a thunderous blow, and he often thinks about it in his heart, and he also gains.
Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye, he practiced smoothly, he didn't feel tired, and there was a slight surge of wine, and he couldn't help but let out a long howl, and the tip of the gun swung slightly, hitting the trunk sideways.
This crape myrtle suddenly fell into color.
He Lingchuan expanded his divine thoughts, and the spear came out like a needle, piercing the petals at the tip of the spear.
This gun weighs 39 pounds and is 7 feet long, and he grabbed the gun with one hand, and the tip of the gun trembled when the tail of the gun moved slightly, which was very difficult to grasp. It is really difficult to pierce the petals that are thin and soft and weak.
The crow on the tree saw the shadow of the gun, and it was so murderous that it was so frightened that its feathers exploded, and it quickly flapped its wings and flew outside.
This big night, let the birds rest in peace?
He Lingchuan wants to practice killing skills, but the scene is very soft.
After this rain of flowers, there were only a few petals on the ground.
The rest, all hung on the tip of the gun.
Jiao Yu was napping on the steps, but he was also awakened by the murderous aura at this time.
Seeing that he finally put away the gun like a tiger, there was a cheer from the side: "Okay!"
It turned out that General Ling was lying on the courtyard wall to watch the excitement at some point. It was more than a foot tall when it was semi-erect, and the top of its skull was higher than the top of the wall.
It is also battle-hardened, although this young man's marksmanship is not comparable to the old monarch of Chiyan, but it is like a wild snake spitting letters, and it is like a cunning rabbit returning home.
is so brave and knows how to accumulate strength, which is already stronger than ordinary generals.
This kid really has some ability.
He Lingchuan breathed a long sigh of relief and wiped the slight sweat from his forehead.
This style of "plum blossom tie" is finally small.
At this moment, there was a sound of two peeling pecks at the courtyard gate.
He Lingchuan had already heard footsteps coming and going outside. When he opened the door, there was only a letter on the ground.
This is a report letter, reporting Tu Dahu's holiday with the pig demon.
It turned out that the two sides had already reached the point where water and fire could not be tolerated, and Tu Dahu's grandson was even shot in the calf by a pig's thorn, festering into the bone, and was almost amputated, and it took more than three months of treatment before he gradually recovered.
Half an hour later, there was movement outside the house.
Someone tiptoed closer, but how could the sound of his footsteps be hidden from He Lingchuan?
The man leaned over and was about to stuff the note under the crack in the door, but the courtyard door opened with a "squeak", and He Lingchuan stood at the door and smiled at him:
"It's all here, so you might as well talk about it in person. Who is your master, and who do you want to denounce?"
"Ah......h
He Lingchuan grabbed the note in his hand, read it on the spot, and then said, "Oh, I originally wanted to report the Li family. Is your master's surname Wang or Tu?"
The man didn't dare to squeak, and the note was not signed.
"I hope your master doesn't have the surname Tu." He Lingchuan took out a letter and shook it in front of him, "Someone has already come to denounce him."
"Huh?"
......
Fifteen miles away in Shuanglu Town, Zhitian Township, in a big mansion.
A night owl fluttered and landed on the big tree next to the main house, and cooed a few times.
The window and door opened, and the night owl flew in.
The people in the house closed the windows again, and there were only one person and one bird left in the house.
He casually laid down an enchantment to prevent people from eavesdropping, and then said to the night owl, "What's the news of the national capital?"
"The case of the disappearance of the messenger in Lingxu City, the monarch transferred it to Fushan Yue to do."
This person sighed: "Fu Shan Ji can't find out, Fu Shan Yue is a reckless man......
He stood up and paced two steps before saying, "However, Fu Shanyue should spend a lot of effort if he wants to please the monarch at this time. Well, there are still a few capable people under his command, who will he send to investigate this?"
"I don't know."
The man's footsteps paused: "I don't know?"
"His officers have other errands." The night owl said, "Only Jiao Yu, the general of the hundred mountains, left the national capital a few days ago, and his whereabouts are unknown."
"Joda's son?" The man wondered, "Will Fushan Yue send him to handle this alone?"
It's a question that the Night Stalker can't answer.
Here it eats meat and drinks water, then closes one eye and sleeps.
In the middle of the night, another man who looked like a steward came to the door.
"My lord asked me to come over overnight to report." The steward came in through the back door, "The prince sent an envoy to Yutian Town to investigate the case of the messenger of Lingxu City."
"Oh?" The man asked urgently, "Who did you send?"
"The envoy's name is He Xiao, holding the prince's signal, and another tiger named Jiao Yu, it seems to be a hundred miles or something......
"Shogun Hyakuzan Nakaro?"
"Yes, yes!" The steward nodded again and again, "There is also a goshawk, I heard that it is also a palace guard."
"He Xiao?" The man thought for a long time, "I haven't heard of it."
"The county invited him to dinner, and he was fine, suspecting that the sages had killed the litter of pigs in Yulun Mountain."
The man immediately sat up straight: "Is there any evidence?"
"No, he hasn't even been there, he's just talking about it."
"It may not be a lie, maybe I will deceive you." The man asked, "What else?"
"He's going to see the Pig's Nest tomorrow."
"What about the items that the surname He used?"
The steward took out a cloth bag from his bosom and opened it, revealing a wine glass inside.
"They are eating in Xihong Building, and He Xiao uses this wine glass."
"Okay, go back and tell your lord, put your heart back in your stomach." The man took the glass, "I can't find him!"
"Yes."
After the steward had gone, the man sat in the house and pondered for a long time, when he suddenly got up and went to the courtyard.
The shadows of the trees are in the palm of the hand, and there are corners in the courtyard that the moonlight can't see.
The man seemed to crush something, and then he poured a scoop of water into this corner.
Soon, in the shadows of the corner, something moved.
"Assign a new target: He Xiao." The man lowered his voice and put the cup on the ground, "Now that he is in Youtian Town, he will go to the pig's nest in Yulun Mountain tomorrow. You know what to do."
