The corners of Fan Sheng's forehead jumped, trying to suppress his anger, and only asked about the big event that had just happened: "Zhongsun Mou was swallowed by the monster he wanted?"

On the way back, his subordinates had already reported to him the story of Zhongsun's wreck. Fan Sheng was also taken aback.

Zhongsun plotted to have an accident, and he was also in Baisha. When this matter is investigated later, he will be involved.

Then everything you do here has to be explained.

Tian Xianling's face became even more bitter, this is really a disaster. Otherwise, he resigned to the monarch and returned to his hometown? "Yes, yes, that thing swallowed Nakasun-sama in one gulp, and escaped in the sand."

No matter how disgusted Fan Sheng was with He Lingchuan, he had to ask at this time, "Is that really the murderer you are hunting?"

"I didn't see it in person, we were wrestling in the Hegong Palace at that time, remember?" He Lingchuan shrugged, "But listening to the testimony of the villagers, the monster that robbed Zhongsun Mou is very similar to the snail toad that Mai Xuewen used to hunt demons."

Seeing a lot of knowledge, Fan Sheng also felt incredible: "This person surnamed Mai has fled, why did he come back to rob Zhongsun Mou?"

"Who knows, maybe he wants revenge too." He Lingchuan smiled, "Maybe Lord Zhongsun is also hindering him?"

Also?

This is to scold him, Fan Sheng raised his eyebrows and was about to spray him, but he was preempted by He Lingchuan again: "Now that even the patrol envoy has been robbed, Lord Fan thinks, how will Lingxu City deal with this matter?"

This is a serious question, and it is also the most important issue at the moment, Fan Sheng's anger was suppressed, and he thought about it: "Once it is reported, it will be a big matter, and it will be investigated until it is revealed."

First, the white-shouldered eagle who sent the letter to the front line disappeared, and then the patrol who handled the case was swallowed in broad daylight, which gave Lingxu City two consecutive *** pockets, and after hitting the left cheek and the right cheek, how could the emperor swallow this breath?

The majesty of Lingxu City brooks no provocation.

I will definitely send a special envoy to investigate the case." The disappearance of the white-shouldered eagle may also be an accident, but Zhongsun Mou was killed, and thousands of pairs of eyes here have really seen it, and Lingxu will never ignore it again. At that time, it will be a special person to handle the case, and it will not be as casual as Zhongsun Mou's investigation.

It's a big cake.

He Lingchuan asked him again: "So, the people and physical evidence that have been involved in the case are foolish2,

"Of course, all of them must be detained, and they will not be allowed to leave the White Sands." Speaking of this, Fan Sheng exhaled depressedly. It seems to include himself.

This time, he wanted to repay the affection of Zhongsun's family, but how did he know that he ended up with a fishy body, why did he really bother?

He Lingchuan saw his chagrin, but he believed his previous statement a little, and didn't say much at the moment, turned to leave.

"Are you alright?" Jiao Yu saw that his clothes were half red.

"Something, it really hurts." Injuries are commonplace, it doesn't mean he doesn't know the pain, not to mention that the painkiller effect of Shi Tuo powder has passed, "But I have to go somewhere first."

Tian County Ling was still very caring, and when he saw that the envoy was injured, he arranged a carriage for him in his busy schedule.

As a result, He Lingchuan went to Lu Dutong to return to Jia Yu, so he boarded the carriage and walked northwest along the lake shore.

Isn't this walking back again?

The tiger was lying on the window, and two quarters of an hour later he vaguely saw the Lotus Palace in the lake. Jia Yuqi said, "Why did the envoy come here again?"

"I left something in the water and need to go back and get it." What a treasure he missed.

Wait!"

Jia Yu immediately understood, and said obediently, "I'll go rowing and come back, you are a little."

The carriage also arrived, and he got out of the carriage in three steps and two steps, kicked into the water, and soon swam away.

When He Lingchuan waited for a short time, Jia Yu rowed a small boat to the shore.

This is the ship of Cen Mansion, which previously carried Fan Sheng to attack He Lingchuan, but failed. The ship was pushed away by Jia Yu.

Now that he had rowed back, he had brought Lingchuan, the wounded, into the lake again.

The tiger still couldn't get a seat this time, the boat was too small, and it was too heavy, so he could only lie on the shore and wait.

Soon, Xiaozhou returned to the place where He Lingchuan had fought with Fan Sheng before.

Both

It was jaw-dropping, and the vision was completely different from when they left:

With Fan Sheng's falling water as the center, the radius of ten zhang is full of residual lotus stamens, and there is no intact lotus flower.

This water area seems to have been swept over, in addition to the stems and leaves of plants, there are also the corpses of waterbirds, insects and fish floating on the water, those arrogant piranhas, basically also turned red belly, there are more than a dozen even incomplete corpses, only two are still alive, only with one side of the stump fin to slap the water, in a circle.

It's not far from breathing.

Jia Yu muttered, "What's going on here?"

"Fan Sheng released a life-saving move, and almost died with the lotus demon." He Lingchuan asked him to row closer to the position where he had picked the Overlord Lotus earlier, and circled around the vicinity a few more times.

The location of the treasure prompted by the Divine Bone Necklace is slightly different from the original.

He Lingchuan had a little score in his heart, found the right position and went into the water again.

This time he dived all the way to the bottom and groped carefully.

The water was full of floating debris, but He Lingchuan only swam back and forth on the lakebed.

Sister Jia Yu's eyes were wide, and she saw that he seemed to have been digging in the mud of the lake for a long time, and then she surfaced.

He helped He Lingchuan reboard the boat, only to see that the other party was holding something in his arms, like broken pottery, he couldn't tell whether it was an urn or a jar, it was full of mud, and most of the lotus root was buried.

He Lingchuan washed away the mud with the lake water, and found that the broken pottery was surprisingly clean, and there was not even a single insect corpse snail egg, only the lotus root.

I don't know why this lotus root is broken, the same kind of section is off-white, only it is blood red, at this time it also dissipates light red mucus, at first glance it looks a bit like human blood.

"What is this?" Jia Yu was a little incredulous, "Could this be a Dutch .....?"

"Probably the water spirit in the lake." Jia Yu once talked about the water spirit punishing cheaters, Fan Sheng sneaked up on He Lingchuan this time, and cut down a large lotus wall, and the lotus demon knew at a glance that this was not a serious event, but to make trouble.

He Lingchuan guessed that it had a bad temper, but he didn't expect it to take revenge when Fan Sheng was trapped in the cobweb, and was taken away by a wave of big moves released by others.

More than 200 years of penance have come to naught, and only this half of the lotus root remains. But is it really dead?

"Let's go back."

The boat rowed to the shore, and this time the bone necklace no longer heated. It seems that he has finally found it.

After going ashore, He Lingchuan transferred to a carriage and returned to the inn, and gave Jia Yu a silver ingot as a labor fee.

The soldier went away happily, and the tiger went to find Lu Dutong. He Lingchuan asked the inn to bring hot water, so that he could clean up the mud, residual leaves and insect corpses on his body. After soaking in water, the wound should also be re-treated.

When I was done, half an hour passed. He Lingchuan finally found a comfortable chair to sit on, and then took out the remnants of pottery dug up in the lake to take a closer look.

In fact, the material of this thing is not pottery, it looks like jade but not jade, like iron but not iron, and there is a sound of knocking it.

Looking at its black body and white mouth, it was originally probably a pot container, but now at most a third is left, and only the bottom is relatively complete.

Anyway, it's also a fragment, and I'm not afraid of being bad, He Lingchuan simply hit it twice with a knife.

Dangdang, it's fine.

He Lingchuan simply slapped it on the edge of the table.

With a snap, it was still fine, and the corner of the table fell. The texture of this fragment is surprisingly hard!

Yes, what can be seen by the gods, how can you do it without a doorway?

But this thing has a frosted feel all over, there is no pattern, or maybe the part with the pattern has been broken, and only a few words are engraved at the bottom:

Mi Feng.

Let the wind be windy, and let the rain be rainy.

The first two characters are big, and the last eight characters are small, and they are actually the language of the ancient immortals.

"Sure enough, I found an antiquity." He Lingchuan looked at it, and then looked at half of the remnants of the lotus root, and speculated that the antiquity was somehow shattered, and the fragments fell into the tide lake, and as a result, the lotus flower growing in it turned into a monster.

He rummaged through it and found no new clues, so he fed the fragments to the Divine Bone Necklace.

The god bone necklace is happy

Xing, there is nothing left over from eating.

Such a hard fragment, I don't know how it is digested. I have seen too many strange things, and He Lingchuan is too lazy to think about it.

As for the lotus root, there was a hole in the section again, and He Lingchuan threw it into the basin. Then he closed his eyes and rested, and began to review today's events.

Since the investigation of the messenger case came to a standstill, Fu Songhua's hiding has become more and more difficult, and He Lingchuan himself has been plotted twice. At that time, he understood that the opponent was unscrupulous with the identity of an official in Lingxu City, and he needed an opportunity if he wanted to be anti-guest and break the passive situation.

This opportunity is called:

Zhongsun Mou must die!

On the one hand, Zhongsun Mou strongly advocated taking Fu Songhua back to Lingxu City to close the case. If he dies, there will be no one to discuss this matter, and Fu Songhua can continue to stay in Baisha.

He Lingchuan's urgent need was immediately solved.

Originally, Fu Songhua was about to lose his ability to hide. The power of the Cen family is really not a joke, and He Lingchuan can't stop it.

On the other hand, Zhongsun Mou's death will inevitably anger Lingxu City. After this matter was stirred, the emperor refused to give up, and the Zhongsun family refused to give up, so the envoy who was sent down to handle the case could not be like Zhongsun Mou, and he could no longer think about fooling and dealing with it.

At that time, all the evidence involved in the case will be put under the sun and examined repeatedly.

The white-shouldered messenger case will also be overturned and retried.

Can the hands and feet that Cen Fu moved still use? Won't the new envoy be suspicious of them?

It can be said that as long as Zhongsun Mou dies, this game of chess will be alive.

In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken.

What's more, it was Zhong Sun Mou and others who first blackened and killed him, and He Lingchuan just gave him his own life.

So, he used the eggs of the snail toad.

Wan Song once confessed that they wanted to summon the snail toad to crush its eggs and then stand on the ground.

If it is the owner, the snail toad is naturally obedient;

If it was someone else, such as He Lingchuan or Zhongsun Mou, who had bad intentions to kill its offspring, Snail Toad didn't bother to think of a more relieving way than to take a sip of it.

Its brain is not much bigger than a peach, and it is not meant to think.

When gambling on the Chaohu Tower, He Lingchuan took the opportunity to crush the snail toad eggs, smeared the soul mirror with the juice, and then dried them with real power.
