He Lingchuan shook his head: "It's not good to compare like this. I've done my best, but Commander Fan still hasn't released the trick of pressing the bottom of the box."

Bai Ziqi stroked the deer's mane and said, "You are a modest child, but you are too bold, and you will be 50,000 taels when you make a move. There are hundreds of lotus-picking teams, how can you be sure that you will be able to find the Overlord Lotus and come out on top?"

He Lingchuan smiled slyly, "Of course, I also have some unruly methods. How many of the people who have been harvested over the years have really found them with their own eyes and great luck?"

He later learned that there was a winner a few years ago, and the way for them to win the championship was to release a nest of more than 2,000 bees and fly around the Lotus Palace to look for the Overlord Lotus.

That kind of efficiency, how can ordinary people compare?

So after that session, Bai Shazhen made a nail in the rules, and he was not allowed to release group pets.

But the old saying always takes effect: the road is one foot high, and the magic is one foot high. Forever fair, that can't be.

Both of them knew that Bai Ziqi didn't say a word: Zhongsun Mou was killed at that time.

But neither of them mentioned it, because there would be no result in bringing it up.

Bai Ziqi said leisurely: "You have the most dealings with Mai Xuewen, what kind of person do you think he is?"

He has the most dealings with Mai Xuewen? Bai Ziqi is this setting a trap for him? He Lingchuan shook his head repeatedly: "I just followed the few clues he left behind, and I didn't talk about dealing with them. Wu Kai should know this answer better than me."

But Wu Kai only saw the illusion created by Mai Xuewen.

Of course, Bai Ziqi also understood the implication: even the cautious and careful Wu Kai was planted in the hands of others, how could he He Lingchuan understand Mai Xuewen? But He Lingchuan still said: "But Mai Xuewen spared no effort to expose his old superiors, and even robbed the patrol envoy in front of everyone, it is no longer crazy to describe it. When you pursue this man, be careful that he is desperate."

"But this man is not crazy at all, and he is very organized."

He Lingchuan shrugged: "A madman can also be very organized, right? Bai Du has handled so many cases, what do you think?"

"This case is very complicated, and I am afraid that the part buried under the water will be larger." Cen Boqing's identity alone made both Fu Shanyue and Bai Ziqi feel tricky.

"Oh yes, I read that it is recorded in the case file that the monster snail toad driven by Mai Xuedong once committed murder on the southern border of the Chiyan Kingdom?

"Yes." At that time, he almost captured his bighorn rock sheep. "When?"

"About forty days ago." He Lingchuan was vigilant in his heart, and didn't mention that he and Fu Shanyue were at the scene, "There is a caravan that lost two monsters, a cat demon and a hedgehog demon, and waited in place for two days and didn't return, so I went to report to the official."

Fu Shanyue killed his brother in the ruins of Thousand Star City, and the monarch of Chiyan actually gave a gag order on this matter, and the Chiyan people present at that time were not allowed to mention it, let alone spread it. Of course, this order was also sent to the Shimen Chamber of Commerce, and Shi Er's head said that he would definitely abide by it.

"More than forty days ago?" Bai Ziqi seemed to be pondering something, "How could such a trivial matter attract your attention?"

"The prince ordered all localities to report the disappearance of demons. At that time, we had already discovered that snail toads often haunt rainy nights, and this one happened just after a rainstorm. In addition, the local townspeople said that there are occasional monsters missing on rainy nights in the suburbs, firstly, there are not many of them, and secondly, they are located at the border checkpoint, and no one is sure whether the monsters are missing or crossed the border on their own, so the local government does not pay attention to them."

Bai Ziqi frowned slightly: "No eyewitnesses?" That's a suspicious case.

After all, there are many reasons for humans and monsters to disappear.

"Even if there were, it was eaten, right?" He Lingchuan smiled bitterly, "I've seen that monster with my own eyes, and it really can't be guarded against when it attacks from underground." "That is to say, if this case is really Mai Xuewen's doing, his trip to hunt demons and take pearls is from the southern border of Chiyan to the north, well......." Bai Ziqi seemed to meditate, "From the south to the north, yes."

"Huh? What's right?"

"Nothing." Bai Ziqi smiled, "By the way, when you were collecting the case of the disappearance of the monsters, did you notice that there were several officials at the checkpoint at the junction of the Twilight Plains and the southern border of Chiyan

I probably disappeared at that time?"

He Lingchuan's heart chuckled.

How not to remember? Those officials followed Zhongsun to make a stumbling block for Fushan Yue, and dismantled and smashed the goods of the Shimen Chamber of Commerce under the pretext of finding Wu Tong. How can Fushan Yue stand this kind of bird spirit? A few days after he entered the country, he sneaked back, except for Zhongsun Mou's guards, he also killed all the officials who were in trouble for him at that time, leaving only Zhong Sun Mou unmoved.

Second, the master said that he must abide by it.

"More than forty days ago?" Bai Ziqi seemed to be pondering something, "How could such a trivial matter attract your attention?"

"The prince ordered all localities to report the disappearance of demons. At that time, we had already discovered that snail toads often haunt rainy nights, and this one happened just after a rainstorm. In addition, the local townspeople said that there are occasional monsters missing on rainy nights in the suburbs, firstly, there are not many of them, and secondly, they are located at the border checkpoint, and no one is sure whether the monsters are missing or crossed the border on their own, so the local government does not pay attention to them."

Bai Ziqi frowned slightly: "No eyewitnesses?" That's a suspicious case.

After all, there are many reasons for humans and monsters to disappear. "Even if there were, it was eaten, right?" He Lingchuan smiled bitterly, "I've seen that monster with my own eyes, and it really can't be guarded against when it attacks from underground."

"That is to say, if this case is really Mai Xuewen's doing, his trip to hunt demons and take pearls is from the southern border of Chiyan to the north, well......" Bai Ziqi seemed to meditate, "From the south to the north, right."

"Huh? What's right?"

"Nothing." Bai Ziqi smiled, "By the way, when you were collecting the disappearance of youkai, did you notice that at the checkpoint between the Twilight Plains and the southern border of Chiyan, how many officials probably disappeared at that time?"

He Lingchuan's heart chuckled.

How not to remember? Those officials followed Zhongsun to make a stumbling block for Fushan Yue, and dismantled and smashed the goods of the Shimen Chamber of Commerce under the pretext of finding Wu Tong. How can Fushan Yue stand this kind of bird spirit? A few days after he entered the country, he sneaked back, except for Zhongsun Mou's guards, he also killed all the officials who were in trouble for him at that time, leaving only Zhong Sun Mou unmoved.

As a result, Zhongsun Mou was finally killed by He Lingchuan's design, which can be regarded as avenging Fu Shanyue.

He Lingchuan also asked, Fu Shanyue said that he did not suck blood, but just dragged the official messenger to the suburbs to bury it after killing it.

Why did Bai Ziqi go to the Twilight Plains, and why did he pursue these things?

He pondered for a moment and shook his head: "There is no such case in the case file sent to me by the prince, probably because the deceased is human."

This sentence, every word is true.

He is a foreigner, he has no power and no power in Chiyan, what ability does he have to collect cases from all over the world on his own? That's not what the prince gives, he just watches what?

Bai Ziqi also thought of this and didn't ask any more. He Lingchuan's heart immediately settled down.

Although Fushan Yue and Zhongsun Mou had some conflicts in front of the checkpoint, the patrol envoy was powerful, and this kind of thing would definitely not be recorded in the official files. The local officials only did not see it, and maybe they were even told not to make a noise.

The checkpoints also do not record the entry and exit of each caravan. Bai Ziqi may not be able to find out, he and Fu Shanyue had just passed the checkpoint in southern Chiyan nearly forty days ago.

At this time, Bai Ziqi pointed forward: "Wu Kai's private village, this is it, right?"

"To the east of the lake, there are mostly white houses, and there is a large stone one foot high at the door." He Lingchuan remembered Wu Kai's description, "It should be here."

Twenty miles away from Baisha, there is land in the wilderness, and the land area occupied by this Zhuangzi circle is not small, even including a few ponds and a hill. Mountains and water, good weather.

The houses on the private estate are basically built on a hill, with two warehouses and several residences.

Of course, in order to save manpower, there are several large warehouses built on flat ground.

He Lingchuan followed his father from Heishui City to Xiazhou, and saw a lot of Zhuangzi in the suburbs along the way. Because of the frequent occurrence of bandits and famines, the private village of this terrain has to be robbed, as long as the thick wall is erected, the horse rejection pile is erected, and some reliable strong men are hired to guard it, this kind of village is similar to a cottage, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it can also be closed in troubled times

Come and live a beautiful little life.

Of course, there is no need for this in Chiyan.

Passing by a hut, the janitor sprang out with an axe in his hand and shouted, "Who!"

The official behind He Lingchuan showed a sign, and there was a faint yellow light in the darkness: "I am from the Baisha Officials Office, and I am accompanying the envoy of Lingxu City to arrest Cen Boqing!" Is he here?"

"Huh?" The janitor was stunned, he may not have seen an outsider here for ten days and a half months, why did he suddenly come to the official errand and any envoys? "Small, little people don't know."

"Rubbish!" The official messenger crossed him and hugged Bai Ziqi and He Lingchuan towards the hill.

Before the crops are harvested, the cherry trees on the mountain have already been harvested in early summer, and it is now the time for farming.

Bai Ziqi and the others rushed all the way, but they didn't meet a few people before and after, and they didn't know anything.

But there is one bad thing:

The hill is surrounded by flat farmland. Standing on the mountain, you can see the movement below.

The road up the mountain is fairly smooth, after all, the supply is transported up and down

It is a little narrower, which is also intentional by the owner.

Running to the top of the mountain, there were four or five houses, and only one was lit.

Bai Ziqi waved his hand, and the officials immediately stepped forward and searched from house to house.

No one.

There was no one in all the buildings.

But there was something to find in the lighted room.

Bai Ziqi and the others walked in, and saw that the windows were closed, the door was ajar, the candles on the table were only half burned, and there were two wooden cups.

He touched the cup, "Warm."

The people in the house had just left.

"Probably found out we're coming." If Cen Boqing escaped here, there was no doubt that he would always be vigilant. He Lingchuan pointed to the ground and said, "Does this place look like a spell casting site?"

A few bird feathers on the ground, a handful of straw, and a yellow oil stain of unknown origin mixed with a little red silk, it looks sticky.

There are still traces of burning on the brick surface.

Those few bird feathers, He Lingchuan knew at a glance that they were magpies. His home in Panlong always drops magpie feathers, because sparrowhawks are always there to commit murder.

The strange thing is that the burning smell that remains in the room still has a little sweet fragrance, and you will feel dizzy after smelling it for a long time............

He Lingchuan hurriedly opened the window.

Bai Ziqi took the straw and dipped it in a little grease, put it under his nose and sniffed it.

"Corpse oil, very pure." Everyone showed a look of disgust, and He Lingchuan was slightly stunned: "They are really hiding here?"

Bai Ziqi nodded: "Cen Boqing is also very cautious, in case that the errand Zhou Tailai is arrested and interrogated, it will inevitably reveal his whereabouts, so he also took the time to go around in a circle and sneak to the west after leaving the city."

"It's windy tonight." He added, "This spell must be cast in a quiet, sealed and windless environment."

That's why two fugitives sneaked in.

"But they've just fled, and we're still in catch."

The official who had searched the surroundings also returned, and reported: "There is no path in the rear, but the mountain is not steep, and you can climb down."

Bai Ziqi took out a candle from his arms again.

Others were puzzled: there is a light in this house, what is he doing with candles?

He Lingchuan stood close and had good eyesight, and found that the white candle he took out still had a faint broken gold, which looked very high.

When the flame was lit, it was white from the inside out.

Bai Ziqi pinched the heart of the candle, and this small flame actually stood firmly on his fingertips.

Only then did everyone see that the flames had already taken shape, with heads, bodies and hands, but there was still a ball of light under the waist.

What is this, Spectre of Light?
