Tai'a County City.

Inn.

Coming down from Nanshan, Li Mu rushed here, wrote a handwritten letter, wrote down the affairs of Nanshan Marquis and Wudong in detail, and sent it to the Hanlin Academy of Qingyoushan in the imperial capital, asking Zhu'er to investigate Wudong's background.

"This letter is urgent, use 500 miles to expedit." The county guard Lin Zhigully also came, his face calm, but after all, it was a matter of life and death, and he couldn't help but instruct the post house staff in the end.

After the letter was sent, Li Mu said: "Lord County Shou, the lower officials want to see Qiu Changshi's body first. ”

"This ......" Lin Zhiyan was stunned, and his face turned bitter: "Li County Order, if you want to know the cause of Qiu Zhao's death, this county guard can tell you right now that he was blocked by someone with a sword!" But if you want to see Qiu Zhao's body...... I'm afraid it's difficult. ”

"Already in the ground?" Li Mu asked.

Lin Zhiyan shook his head: "It was cremated." ”

"Cremation?" Li Mu was puzzled, according to the customs of various places in Daqian, people should be buried in the earth after death!

Cremate? That's a desecration of the dead!

Li Muhu looked at Lin Zhiqi suspiciously, was it to destroy the corpse?

"Li County Order, are you suspicious of this county guard?" Lin Zhiyan said angrily: "Nanshan Hou ran out, and the county guard is the biggest victim!" ”

Oh, forget that you are also Nanshanhou's 'flesh and blood relative'.

Li Mu smiled and said: "Don't be too careful, the lower officials have no such intentions, but they are a little curious, why did they cremate Qiu Changshi?" ”

"This matter is not the idea of this county guard!" Lin Zhiyan said in a muffled voice: "After Qiu Zhao was attacked and killed, his body was taken away by his wife, and after three days of memorial, he was directly cremated. What's the matter, Li Xianling is suspicious of Mrs. Qiu? ”

"You'll know if you see it." Li Mu said with a smile.

"Li County Order, this county guard feels that instead of wasting time on a woman, it is better to start the investigation from the county orders of Ping'an County, Qing'an County, and Taiping County as soon as possible!" Lin Zhiyan was dissatisfied.

"Don't worry, Lord Gunden, their affairs are not in a hurry, take your time." Li Mudao.

"Li County Order, you shouldn't be trying to shield them, right?" Lin Zhiyan said angrily: "This county guard knows that you have a good relationship with them, but this is a big matter, and this is not the time to be rash!" ”

"Lord County Guard has misunderstood, Xia Guan is not the kind of person who bends the law for personal gain." Li Mu said righteously.

"But you ......" Lin Zhiyan was depressed, and said hurriedly: "But in case that Wudong dog thief returns the official seal unknowingly, how can we track it down?" ”

"If Lord County Guard is Wudong's dog, will he take the risk of returning the official seal afterwards?" Li Mu asked him rhetorically.

"This ...... Naturally not. Lin Zhiqi asked himself, if he is Wu Dong, I am afraid that he is thousands of miles away at this moment, how can he be stupid to return the official seal?

What does the life and death of those county commanders have to do with him?

Yes!

I understand!

Lin Zhiyan's eyes lit up, if Wu Dong returned the official seal, it just means that he had a major collusion with a county order in one of the three counties, if not, he would ...... It's true that there's no hurry.

"Then let's meet Qiu Zhaofa's wife first." Lin Zhiqi is like a prison.

The two got into the carriage and came to Qiu Zhao's mansion without saying a word.

After Qiu Zhao was cremated, Qiu's mansion closed the door to thank the guests, and the two of them knocked on the door for a long time before someone came out to open the door.

"Ah, it's actually the county keeper in front of him, and the little one is far away, so please atone for your sins." The housekeeper of the Qiu Mansion who opened the door, an old man surnamed Wang.

"Lao Wang, this county guards the county order of Qingping County and the sect master of the Sword Sect, and I have come to visit Mrs. Qiu, and I will go to pass it on." Lin Zhiqi spoke.

"The two adults are invited to come in, and the younger one will go and inform Madame." Lao Wang welcomed the two into the living room, and after ordering someone to serve tea, he hurriedly went to the backyard.

Not long after, Qiu Zhao's wife came to the living room dressed in plain clothes.

"Mrs. Qiu, mourn." Lin Zhiqi said.

"Mrs. Qiu, mourn." Li Mu also said.

"I've seen Lord Commander, Lord Li." Mrs. Qiu is nearly thirty years old, plump, and quite moist, standing there in plain clothes, I feel pity.

"I don't know what the two adults are doing when they come to find the concubine?" Mrs. Qiu asked softly.

Lin Zhiyan said: "Mrs. Qiu, I can't hide it, this time I came to you, it is really related to Qiu Changshi's cremation!" ”

Li Mudao: "Dare to ask Mrs. Qiu, why did Qiu Changshi be cremated?" ”

"This ......" Mrs. Qiu looked embarrassed, as if there was something unspeakable.

"Mrs. Qiu, this matter is very important, please be sure to tell the truth!" Lin Zhiyan saw that there was really a hidden secret, and suddenly became serious.

"The two adults, the concubine and the concubine, have heard my family say that his ancestors are a family of corpses in Xiangxi County, and the concubines feel that this corpse is not very clean after all, so they simply gave a fire and burned it." Mrs. Qiu's words were a little incoherent, but Lin Zhiyan and Li Mu generally understood.

Qiu Zhao was born in a family of corpse chasers, and Mrs. Qiu was worried that his corpse would change after his death, so she burned him!

"Li County Order, could it be that the mastermind behind this matter is the corpse chaser clan in Xiangxi County?" Lin Zhiyan's expression was shocked, he stared at Li Mu with bright eyes, and analyzed: "Nanshan Hou is a thousand-year-old zombie, even if ordinary people catch her, it is useless, but the corpse chaser clan is an exception, they can control zombies with secret methods, the stronger the zombies, the stronger their strength, yes, it must be because of this that they want to plan Nanshan Hou!" Li County Order, the mastermind behind the scenes, must be a corpse chaser!

”

"Don't be impatient." Li Mu waved his hand to signal him to be quiet, and asked, "Qiu Changshi is an adult's henchman, has the adult heard him mention the matter of chasing corpses?" ”

"This ...... Not really. Lin Zhiyan frowned, he looked at Mrs. Qiu and asked, "Mrs. Qiu, is this serious?" ”

"Naturally, it's true, the concubine doesn't dare to hide the two adults." Mrs. Qiu said hurriedly.

"For the sake of prudence, the lower officials thought that they still had to take a test." Li Mu looked at Lin Zhiyan and asked, "Lord County Shou must be able to speak of magic techniques like righteousness, right?" ”

Lin Zhiyan's eyes lit up: "Haha, the withered insect skill, then the county guard will be ugly!" ”

He looked at Mrs. Qiu, the spiritual power in his body was running, and shouted: "Don't deceive yourself inside, don't deceive others outside!" ”

Dao aura ripples spread out from his mouth, enveloping Madam Qiu.

Mrs. Qiu's pretty face flushed: "Lord County Guard, the concubine is ......"

"Mrs. Qiu, don't worry, it won't hurt you." Lin Zhiyan smiled and asked, "Is Qiu Zhao really from a corpse chasing clan?" ”

"Self-is, yes-is......" Mrs. Qiu wanted to say 'self-true', but she couldn't say the last two words, as if there was a mysterious power in the dark, blocking her words in her throat!

"What is self?!" When Lin Zhiyan saw this scene, his face changed suddenly: "Mrs. Qiu, if you lie, this county guard will tell you that life is better than death!"

”

The Marquis of Nanshan is a matter of his net worth and life, not to mention the wife of his henchmen, even his own wife, he will definitely not be soft-hearted!

"Spare your life!" Mrs. Qiu's face was pale, and she was busy prostrate on the ground, kowtowing more than once: "My lord, the concubine, the concubine body also heard others talk about it, and only then did I know that my family was born in a family of corpses, as for the authenticity, the concubine has no way to know, it's just that I would rather believe it than believe it, this is it, this is the ......."

"Mrs. Qiu, who did you hear about this?" Li Mu asked.

"It's Wang Jin, the housekeeper in the house, after the death of my family, he wanted to talk to the coffin several times, and finally under the questioning of the concubine, he told the concubine that the adult was born in a family of chasing corpses, and it was likely that the corpse would change, so ......" Mrs. Qiu's delicate body lying on the ground trembled.

"Steward Wang?" Lin Zhiyan thought of the old man who had just opened the door for him, and was furious: "What about others? Get him out of here! ”

"Yes, in the backyard." Mrs. Qiu didn't dare to look up.

When the words fell, Lin Zhiqi immediately turned into an afterimage and rushed out of the living room.

"Mrs. Qiu, get up." Li Mu saw that Mrs. Qiu was still lying on the ground and shivering, and felt indecent, so he called her up.

"My lord, the concubine is ...... concubine" Mrs. Qiu looked up with some horror.

"Don't worry, if this matter has nothing to do with you, the county keeper will not be angry with you." Li Mudao.

"Thank you, sir." Mrs. Qiu got up and stood aside tremblingly.

Not long after, Lin Zhiyan came back with one person, and said angrily: "Damn, this bastard has committed suicide by poisoning!" ”

He threw the butler named Wang Jin on the ground, and Li Mu stepped forward to check and found that he was bleeding from his seven orifices and had been dead for a while.

"Mrs. Qiu?" Lin Zhiyan said coldly: "Steward Wang shouldn't have been poisoned by you, right?" ”

Mrs. Qiu was busy and frightened: "The concubine doesn't dare, the concubine doesn't dare." ”

"Lord Gunner, don't let your anger get carried away, just ask." Li Mudao.

"Good!" Lin Zhiyan took a deep breath and asked Mrs. Qiu again, but this time, Mrs. Qiu answered fluently, and it really had nothing to do with the death of Steward Wang.

But in this way, their clues are broken!

After Lin Zhiyan sent Mrs. Qiu away irritably, he asked, "Li County Order, what do you think?" ”

Li Mu analyzed: "The mastermind behind the scenes used Steward Wang to deceive Mrs. Qiu and make her cremate Qiu Changshi's body, the purpose is nothing more than two, one is to destroy the corpse, and the other is to divert the direction of our investigation. Although it is unlikely, Lord Commander, we still have to check the details of this Wang Jin. ”

"Well, what Li Xianling said is reasonable! This county is determined to check this king's gold to the bottom! It's just that the mastermind behind this scene ......" Lin Zhiyan looked at Li Mu expectantly and asked, "Is there any suspicion in the Li County Order?" ”

Suspects?

Li Mu really has one, and that is the Zhang family!

On that day, in the tomb of the Marquis of Nanshan in the pit of the dead, the Marquis of Nanshan opened his eyes and saw five people, namely Li Mu, Qiu Zhao, Lin Zhiyan, Zhao Binhong and Zhang Yucheng!

Why did the mastermind behind the scenes think that the deaths of Qiu Zhao and Zhao Binhong and the serious injuries of Lin Zhiyan could make him fall into the pit of death?

The reason is nothing more than this one: Nanshan Hou saw him! Between him and the Marquis of Nanshan, there is a 'bad fate'!

And the only people who know about it are the five parties involved.

Naturally, this matter may leak out, and Zhang Yucheng, Qiu Zhao and Zhao Binhong are all dead, and there is no proof of death, but the suspicion of the Zhang family is still very big!

"Li County Order?" Lin Zhiyan whispered.

Li Mu came back to his senses and shook his head slightly: "There are too few clues, and there are no clues yet." Let's wait until the lower officials see the three virtuous brothers. ”

"Li County Order, why does this county guard think that you are not in a hurry at all?" Lin Zhiyan saw that Li Mu was not in a hurry, but he was in a hurry, and said: "Li County Order, Nanshan Hou came out of the dead man's pit, no matter what, she will not let you and me go!" ”

"Lord Gunden, it's useless to be in a hurry." Li Mu was quite determined.

There's no way, now he has too many enemies, not to mention the Nine Heavens Ying Yuan Divine Mansion, Chu Wangfu, and Shu Wangfu, just say that Miss Jiang who is unhappy with the retribution, Li Mu still doesn't know the specific identity of this Miss Jiang, if he is also like Lin Zhiyan, he can't sleep if he can't find anyone, and he can't sleep every day?

"Okay, the next official has gone to see the three virtuous brothers. Lord County Shou, you have to work hard to cultivate, as long as you are strong, no matter if you are the Marquis of Nanshan and the Marquis of Beishan, it is not worth mentioning! ”

You say lightweight...... Lin Zhiyan stared at Li Mu with eyes that were not eyes, and his nose was not nose, but in the end, he didn't dare to say this.

"Then the county guard will wait for good news." Lin Zhiqi said.

……

Following.

Sunset.

Li Mu walked with a sword, bathed in the sunset, and came to Ping'an County.

Qing'an, Taiping, and Ping'an counties, this is the last stop.

The official seals of the first two counties are there!

If the official seal of Ping'an County is also there, then the problem is big!

Li Mu came to the county government of Ping'an County, where there were two huge stone lions at the entrance of the ya, and four other officials were guarding outside the door. CoM

Li Mu stepped forward and said, "This official Qingping County Commander Li Mu has come to visit Chen County Order, please pass it on." ”

"Qingping County Order?"

"Li Mu? It's a familiar name. ”

"Ah, isn't it the Sword Sect Master?"

The officials guarding the door were shocked, and one of them hurriedly stepped forward and said respectfully: "My lord, my county order is not in the yazhong. ”

"Where is he?" Li Mu is not surprised, after all, they have all cultivated immortals, which county order will obediently stay in the yazhong to deal with government affairs?

"It should be in the National Temple." The officials were also uncertain.

Li Mu didn't embarrass him, and after asking where the national temple of Ping'an County was, he left quickly.

The national temple of Ping'an County is built in the east of the city, sits in the north and faces south, and the scale is much larger than that of Qingping County.

When Li Mu arrived, there were still many people here who came to give Taizu Jin incense.

Li Mu walked around inside and found that there was a backyard behind the National Temple.

He climbed over the wall and saw the familiar big fat at a glance: Chen Ping'an.

"Brother Chen is well?" Li Mu greeted with a smile.

"Huh?" When Chen Ping'an heard this voice, he was shocked, turned his head to see Li Mu, and his fat face suddenly showed ecstasy: "Virtuous brother!

Ah, virtuous brother save me!

”

As he spoke, he ran over with joy.

"Brother Chen, I haven't seen you for many days, and you're ...... again I've gained a few pounds. Li Mu said with a smile.

"Brother Xian, I can't raise my fat for long." Chen Ping'an pulled Li Mu over and said in a low voice: "Virtuous brother, foolish brother has something to ask you!" ”

"It can't be an official seal, right?" Li Mu's heart moved.

"Ah, how did Brother Xian know?" Chen Ping'an hurriedly said: "Could it be that this matter has spread to Qingping County?" ”

Li Mu hurriedly comforted him, asked him to relax, and spoke slowly.

"The matter...... Hey, there's a knife on the head of the color word! Chen Ping'an looked sad and said: "Last month, I heard that there was a new Oiran in the drunken immortal building in the county town, so I went over to drink two cups, but I accidentally got drunk, but I didn't expect that after waking up, the official seal was lost!" I, I don't dare to make a noise, poop, poop...... Brother Xian, what should I do? ”

"Drunken Immortal Building?" Li Mu remembered that the owner behind this green building was Lin Zhiyan.

This went around and around, and finally returned to Lin Zhiyu?

"Brother Chen, let's go to the county town with me first." Li Mu said in a deep voice.

"Hmmm! I listen to my brother. Chen Ping'an nodded like garlic.
