Chapter 465: Superficial Peace

He Lingchuan coughed lightly: "This is the Feitian Pioneer of the Red Yan Kingdom, General Ling."

"General Antelope?" Zhongsun Mou's eyes condensed slightly, "The military order has been issued, why are you still staying in Zhitian Township on the way to the front line now?"

"Shut you down......" General Ling wanted to spray him in the face, but suddenly remembered the authority of this goods, and changed his words abruptly, "Arrived within the deadline, it's still early!" Zhongsun Mou can't take him down directly, but if a report letter is sent to the capital of Chiyan State, it will be very disgusting.

So he quickly changed his head: "The one who was killed was also a soldier of my Feitian Army, I want an explanation!" Where is the murderer, what is his identity, and how to deal with it, ah?

"Before the case is completed, confidentiality must not be leaked, this is the rule." Zhongsun Mou said lightly, "General Ling, go to the war with peace of mind, and then Lingxu City will send a note to the Chiyan Kingdom, and you will have the answer."

Where is General Antelope willing to go? By the time he returned from the front, it would be at least a few months later, and the daylilies were cold.

He didn't trust this "inspector" in his heart.

He Lingchuan opened his mouth to relieve him: "Before I came, the prince asked me to investigate thoroughly and be sure to send the final result, not this-" He pointed to the gold paper in the guard's hand, "--send it to him. If you have any questions, go to the prince, I can't stop here."

Zhongsun was stunned and was about to sneer at each other, when someone suddenly walked in outside the courtyard gate and saw the scene here, "oops".

This is an old man in his fifties, with half-white hair and two oil-paper bags in his hand.

The gang of fierce and vicious characters in the courtyard saw him turn around and slip away.

But how could the people let him go? Zhongsun Mou's guards rushed out and grabbed his shoulders and dragged him back.

If you look into it with real power, you can see that this is just an ordinary person.

Without waiting for strict questioning, the old man was recruited.

It turned out that he was the one in charge of taking care of this place, and the owner, Mr. Mai, only came three or four times a year, and each time he stayed for more than ten days before leaving, and then the courtyard was completely quiet. He usually sweeps the floor, raises flowers, and gets some side dishes to drink, and his life is quite comfortable.

When asked what Mr. Mai did, the old man couldn't tell him clearly, probably a businessman. Because as long as Mr. Mai comes, there are customers here every three or five times, and sometimes he can come several times a day.

As soon as these people entered the study and sat down, Mr. Mak closed the door, and no sound could be heard.

General Ling asked him, "Haven't you ever thought of eavesdropping on the corner?" Although these people are doing shady things, they are likely to set up an enchantment during the discussion.

"Nope. Mr. Mak also praised me, saying that my greatest strength is that I have no curiosity."

Zhongsun Mou also spoke: "Mr. Mai's full name, do you know?"

"I don't know, he didn't mention it."

"What is he doing here?"

"Well, most of them are reading books and eating tea in the study, and occasionally go out, so I don't know where to go."

He Lingchuan asked him, "How many days did Mr. Mai stay this time?"

"Five Days..... No, six days."

"And where is he now?"

"I don't know." The old man's face was blank, "It stands to reason that he should be at home, and Mr. Mak likes to take a nap."

However, when He Lingchuan came to find it, the courtyard was empty.

Did Mr. Mak smell danger and run away in advance?

However, He Lingchuan took a short time to interrogate Wan Dahu, and then he rushed to Frost Dew Town non-stop, and there was only a quarter of an hour before and after. How could Mr. Mak know in advance?

Who, and when, leaked the news?

Zhongsun Mou asked two more questions, and seeing that the old man couldn't get any useful information here, he waved his hand and asked people to take him down to dictate the portrait.

The unexpected appearance of this old man gave the two sides present a time to relieve.

Zhongsun Mou looked at He Lingchuan and was about to speak, when the fierce tiger Jiao Yu preemptively said, "Lord Zhongsun, I suggest that we investigate the case together, so that we can concentrate our advantages."

He Lingchuan said with a smile: "Either you find out what is going on, or you can send a note to the Chiyan Monarch now, and ask the prince to recall me."

General Ling said loudly, "

Not bad! You are standing on the land of Chiyan and want to forcibly expel the prince's envoy? First of all, I asked if we agreed!"

He Lingchuan glanced at him.

This general is reckless on the outside, but he is actually a very cooperative red face.

General Ling means that if you don't agree, you can't do it, the token can only bluff others, and Lao Tzu will still beat you out.

A wise man is afraid of being stingy.

Zhong Sun Mou was also thinking quickly in his heart at this time.

He had a deep relationship with Fushan, and of course he would not be polite to his subordinates.

The so-called prince's envoy was holding his neck, and Zhongsun Mou only felt ridiculous. That's hell and no door is coming, and there is a chance behind him, let him take the blame if he doesn't send him away.

Therefore, he muttered, and his face softened: "It is good to communicate with each other, so that there is an explanation for the upwards. What clues did you get there?"

Zhongsun Mou's attitude suddenly softened, and He Lingchuan raised his vigilance instead.

When he wants to make it bad, he likes to suppress it first and then raise it in this way.

But on the surface, it is still necessary to borrow the slope to get off the donkey and soften it: "I have found several cases of missing monsters here, including the descendants of General Ling, dozens of monsters have disappeared in the north of central Chiyan in the past six months, which is similar to the case of the messenger in Lingxu City."

"You're saying that there are murderers who are hunting demons on a large scale, and the messenger of Lingxu City was only killed by accident?"

"Hunting in the dark." He Lingchuan corrected him, "Wan Dahu in Zhitian Township has confessed that he and his nephew collaborated to kill demons and take pearls."

"Take the beads?" Zhongsun Mou frowned, "What bead?"

He Lingchuan stopped: "Lord Zhongsun, it's your turn."

Zhongsun Mouchang sighed: "What I checked from the north is not limited to the territory of Chiyan, there are a few bird demons who have seen the white-shouldered eagle fly to the cliff to take shelter from the rain, but it seems that they did not come out again after dawn. I asked repeatedly, but they didn't dare to confirm it, and then I collected evidence under the cliff, and the evidence finally pointed to Shuanglu Township, Shibata Township, that is, ...... Over here! 「

General Ling interjected, "Then this guy surnamed Mai got the news and ran away in advance."

Zhongsun Mou was stunned: "General Ling is cautious."

"I just want to know, what now?" General Ling is a pragmatist, "He's all gone, how can this case be investigated?"

"Wanted for the release of this surnamed Mai." Zhongsun Mou said, "The portrait will come out soon, and the nearby towns will be posted. With so many pairs of eyes staring at heaven and earth, it was hard for him to run out."

This is a demon country, and it's not just humans who are staring at the bounty, but also all kinds of monsters. Whether you are eating or squatting, you don't know where there will be a pair of inhuman eyes silently watching you, and you can't prevent it.

He Shi Ran walked out, only one guard, and said to He Lingchuan, "I still have some news, you come with me."

There was a big hole in the door of the study, which was certainly not suitable for confidentiality.

He Lingchuan and Jiao Yu glanced at each other and followed him to the main house.

General Ling, of course, followed.

He was about to explain to the two Drill Wind Beast guards to watch over the study, but before the words could be spoken, He Lingchuan patted his long neck and whispered, "Don't worry about anything."

General Ling really swallowed his words back, and silently followed him into the main house.

Zhongsun Mou personally closed the door, and even put an enchantment, before he whispered, "This case must be handled to the emperor's satisfaction."

The Emperor is the lord of Lingxu City, the demon emperor who rules the entire Bega Empire.

So the weight of this sentence is heavy.

He Lingchuan heard that there was something outside his words: "Then how can the emperor be satisfied?"

"The timing of this case is strange, and the emperor thinks that it was done by a foreign woman." Zhongsun Mou looked at He Lingchuan and said, "But the conclusion of your analysis has nothing to do with this."

"The messenger of Lingxu City was killed because someone secretly hunted sporadic demons? How can such a conclusion win the trust of the emperor?"

The Son of Heaven did not believe that this was an accident, and they would be unlucky if they were his subordinates.

He Lingchuan humbly asked, "Then what does Lord Zhongsun think should be done about this matter?"

"It's still going to go deeper in this direction

Dig and scrutinize." Zhongsun Mou said with a straight face, "If it is really as you say, the white-shouldered eagle just suffered an accident, then the people behind the scenes should stop and hide after knowing that they mistakenly killed the messenger of Lingxu City, at least until the limelight has passed for a while, how can they continue to commit crimes one after another, and the more they do, the more noticeable they become, so that you can grasp the clues?"

This kid has a foul mouth, and says as if the clues they can find are all from the hands of the people behind the scenes. General Ling's mouth moved, and he finally swallowed a sentence of mother P.

He Lingchuan was moved when he heard it. Zhong Sun Mou said that it was not unreasonable, but he still said: "Maybe there is a disconnect between the top and bottom, Wan Song didn't understand the intentions of the people behind the scenes; Or maybe the task assigned by the top is too heavy, and they are lucky."

It is actually very difficult for an organization to upload and issue orders, and it is normal for confusion, entanglement, and disorder to occur in the middle, not to mention that the upper and lower levels have their own selfishness and interests collide with each other.

The larger the organization, the greater the deviation.

The upper level consciously holds the wisdom bead in their hands, and what they want is to follow their words, but the shrimp soldiers and crabs at the bottom will be executed, and they can stir up yellow and stink for you.

Good intentions often come from this.

General Ling glared and said, "Lord Zhongsun, if you have to say that it was the female cadre's doing, the flight path of the white-shouldered eagle is only known to the people of Lingxu City!" If you don't go back to Lingxu City to find out, what's the use of wandering around the Red Yan Country all the time?"

"There are already special people in Lingxu City who are investigating." Zhongsun Moufei said quickly, "After all, the white-shouldered eagle disappeared in Chiyan. Even if its itinerary was leaked in Lingxu City, then the downing would be carried out in the Red Yan Country. Find the murderer and solve the problem."

He asked He Lingchuan, "You said that Wan Dahu's nephew Wan Song is the murderer, where is this person now?"

"I don't know." He Lingchuan said coolly, "Since you can find Buffalo Alley, I also expect you to find the whereabouts of the murderer."

"Whether it's a white-shouldered eagle or a descendant of General Ling, they're all missing near Shibata Township." Zhongsun Mou raised his chin, "The murderer likes to haunt here, so you might as well use Wan Dahu as bait and fish him out."

"That's exactly what I mean." He Lingchuan smiled, "Then Lord Zhongsun doesn't hurry back to Youtian Town? The news that Wan Dahu is under our actual control must not be exposed, otherwise Wan Song will not be fooled."
