With Zhou Zheng's carrying, Yue Xiaoyue's return to Tianlu Mountain was much faster. Zhou Zheng took her hand, and just one step to the mountain gate.

Hearing that Zhou Zheng Zhenjun was going to see the master, the disciples guarding the mountain gate did not dare to slack off, and while hurrying back, he led Zhou Zheng up the mountain into the main hall.

Xuan Yao hurriedly came out, and when he saw Yue Xiaoyue and Zhou Zheng together, he was slightly surprised.

Today's matter, Zhou Zheng briefly told Xuan Xuan, and some of the key information was naturally not revealed. This greatly satisfied Yue Xiaoyue's vanity, and she felt that she was the most trusted person by Zhou Zheng!

After that, Zhou Zheng explained his intentions, saying that he wanted to borrow Yue Xiaoyue for a few days to investigate a case. In addition, ask if there are any missing disciples in this section of Tianlu Mountain.

There is no need for Zhou Zheng to ask about this matter, Tianlu Mountain is also investigating, and there are indeed two disciples who have disappeared one after another in the previous paragraph. One of them is a peak cultivator of the earth level, and the other is a mid-level cultivator of the heaven level.

The middle level of the heavenly ladder? How could a person who cultivated like this be subdued and killed by a mortal?

Zhou Zheng was suspicious in his heart, but he remained silent. After Yue Xiaoyue cleaned up, he took Yue Xiaoyue to say goodbye to Xuan Bao and went down the mountain together.

In this matter, Zhou Zheng deliberately told Xuan Yao to keep it secret, so not many people knew about it. However, Yue Xiaoyue's sister Yue Ruyue is one of the insiders. Zhou Zheng had the illusion that when he took Yue Xiaoyue away, Yue Ruyue's eyes were full of jealousy and unwillingness.

Don't worry about that yet!

After descending the mountain, Zhou Zheng took Yue Xiaoyue to live in a mortal inn, used mana to conceal Yue Xiaoyue's spiritual power and cultivation, and personally changed her appearance with medicinal ointment.

Unless it is a cultivation above the sixth layer of the immortal level, otherwise, the current Yue Ruyue standing in front of everyone is just an ordinary mortal little girl.

Zhou Zheng gave her two tasks, one was to infiltrate the yamen and steal their interrogation records to see where Chen Xiao had buried those corpses. Zhou was about to go to the autopsy.

The second thing is to let her enter the prison incognito and observe what is wrong with Chen Xiao, especially when there is no one to supervise at night.

Yue Xiaoyue, who was doing this kind of thing for the first time, was so excited that she couldn't listen to Zhou Zheng's repeated instructions to put safety first, and ran out of the inn impatiently and blended into the crowd.

Yue Xiaoyue, who was taken up the mountain by her sister since she was a child, looked at the lively street market with red flowers and willows, which made her feel fresh and curious everywhere.

Zhou Zheng sent Yue Xiaoyue away, and turned around and came to the Law and Punishment Division. He didn't go to the Dianzheng Division to find Hu Tu, but directly asked to see Wen Ruyuan.

For such a long time, the nine disciples of several sects have disappeared in a row, and they have not attracted the attention of the Dian Zheng Zhenjun, which is extremely strange.

In addition, even the mortal world can detect Chen Xiao's strange behavior, but the Dian Zheng Division is unaware of it, allowing Chen Xiao to frequently attack the cultivators, which is a bit unbelievable.

Zhou Zheng was extremely suspicious that there were traitors in the Dianzheng Division who reported to Chen Xiao or the people behind Chen Xiao or even covered up the truth.

Wen Ruyuan also frowned after listening to Zhou Zheng's report, he hurriedly summoned Hu Tu and asked Zhou Zheng to tell Hu Tu the details of the case again.

Wen Ruyuan believed that the true monarch of the canon was Hu Tu, if even the true monarch was a traitor, the Department of Law and Punishment would be hopeless.

Sure enough, Hu Tu was shocked after hearing this. He didn't know anything about the case.

It stands to reason that after such a case is reported by the criminal halls of each sect, it will first be summarized and classified, and reported to their respective envoys or the envoys on duty according to the emergency, and then the envoys will classify the cases according to their seriousness, difficulty, and severity of the cases, and selectively report them to the true monarch.

In the case of this case, it must be reported to Hu Tu, the true monarch, but now, Hu Tu knows nothing. Then it can only show that someone is really deliberately hiding this matter.

The first object of suspicion was Huang Cheng, the law envoy, because it was his department, the law hall, that was directly connected to the torture halls of various sects. All the cases from the torture hall are summarized, and the first level is the hand of the lawgiver on duty.

There are a total of 32 lawgivers in the Dianlu Hall, and all of these people have the opportunity and power to conceal cases and report them.

Then, there is the envoy. Although the envoys of each hall have their own stalls, they have to guard the entire canonical division once every ten days.

Although Huang Cheng is the most suspicious, the other three envoys who are normally guarding are not without the opportunity to suppress the case.

This matter must be investigated! It's also easy to check! As long as you secretly send people to the sects of several missing disciples to inquire about the specific time when they reported to the Law and Punishment Division, according to the time, you can first rule out the suspicion of some people.

Then, let these people secretly retrieve the original records and reporting process of these reported cases from the inside, and they can quickly find the mole.

However, now, this matter obviously can't be done by the people in the Orthodox Division, so Wen Ruyuan ordered Zhou Zheng to take full responsibility for this matter, and dispatched Yang Shan, Cheng E, and several capable subordinates to secretly investigate the matter. And Hu Tu assisted and fully cooperated.

"Hu Tu Zhenjun..."

Zhou Zheng was just about to speak, but was stopped by Hu Tu.

"Brother, I understand! If it were me, I would do the same! Catching a traitor is more important than anything else! That's about the safety of our Law and Punishment Division! In addition, I can't escape the blame for this matter, and I will do my best to cooperate with you, and it can be regarded as making up for it! ”

"Hu Tu Zhenjun is broad-minded and admired! Thanks a lot! I want to divide the work with my brother, and the investigation of the Torture Hall and the Dian Law Hall will be under the full command of the brother with Yang Shan. I took Cheng E and stared at Chen Xiao's child. He's the key now. I'm afraid that once the news comes out on our side, he will be killed and killed! ”

Hu Tu was slightly stunned, "Brother, do you believe me so much?" ”

"Brother Hu, your loyalty to the Department of Punishment is obvious to all! How could I not believe you? ”

Wen Ruyuan on the side nodded slightly, he was extremely satisfied with Zhou Zheng's arrangement.

"Lao Hu, Zhou Zheng is right, you are the person I trust the most when you are! According to what Zhou Zheng said, you are fully responsible for the internal investigation of the Dianlu Hall! ”

"Yes! Rest assured! I'll find out who's the mole! Then, he turned around and patted Zhou Zheng's arm, "Thank you, brother!" ”

It's all in plain sight!

After everyone discussed, Zhou Zheng took Cheng E back to the inn. Zhou Zheng needs to keep an eye here. He sent Cheng E to Puguang Temple overnight to see if Shanwei had returned? After going back, did you really face the wall and not go out?

The image Jiang Zhongyi gave him was too deep-rooted, Zhou Zheng really didn't believe it, after becoming a good deed, this kid would really put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot!

After doing all this, Zhou Zheng lay on the bed and began to go through the matter over and over again. In order not to startle the snake, he did not use the advantage of his spirit body to wander around the city. He always felt that the person behind this incident was by no means simple, at least he was also a person who was on par with his own cultivation.

The reason why Yue Xiaoyue was looking for Yue Xiaoyue to pretend to be a mortal and rush to the front this time was that she was not a person from the Law and Punishment Division, and she was a fresh face, so it was not easy to be discovered. Second, with this girl's cleverness, she is extremely adaptable, and she will not expose herself easily. In addition, the little girl is thoughtful, and she is born to be a case-solving material. There are clues that she will not miss.

Zhou Zheng believes in his own vision, and he can't be wrong when he sees people!

However, until dawn, Yue Xiaoyue had not returned, and Zhou Zheng couldn't help but worry. He was just about to go out to look for it, when he saw a person passing through the wall and revealing his figure, it was Yue Xiaoyue.

"Zhenjun, I found it!" Yue Xiaoyue shouted excitedly.

Zhou Zheng hurriedly waved his hand to set up an enchantment in the house. If this voice was heard, it would be enough to wake up more than half of the people in the inn.

Yue Xiaoyue stuck out her tongue and chuckled embarrassedly, "Zhenjun, where did I find those corpses?" ”

Zhou Zheng poured her a glass of warm water and let her drink saliva and speak slowly.

"Zhenjun, you don't know, that kid is very tough, he has endured all kinds of torture, and he didn't say a word. The confessions were forged by the catcher with their scribe according to what he had heard and seen, and then, holding the fingerprints of the boy's hand. The kid was sentenced to be beheaded and put on death row. However, they did not find the body. ”

After speaking, Yue Xiaoyue deliberately paused, just waiting for Zhou Zheng to praise her!

Zhou Zheng saw her careful thoughts at a glance, and smiled slightly, "They have all tortured to extract confessions, but they still haven't been able to find the body." How did you find it? Is it so powerful? ”

"Of course I'm amazing! I got into his head! ”

Zhou Zheng was taken aback, "You used the Concentric Spell?" Or did he enter his dreams? ”

"Can I be that stupid? You can't use spells in front of mortals, it's the law of the Punishment Division, can I not understand this? Although this kid can't be considered a mortal, although you cover me, I will never make such a low-level mistake. ”

This really aroused Zhou Zheng's curiosity.

"Tell me, what exactly did you do?"

Yue Xiaoyue smiled proudly.

"Do you remember, when you put on my makeup, you took out a bunch of bottles and cans from your body, and I was curious, so I asked you what was in it? There's a bottle in it, you told me it's a hallucinant. He also specially asked me to remember its taste, saying that if that man gave me water to drink in the future, if it tasted like this, I must not drink it, otherwise, I would be taken advantage of. ”

Zhou Zheng thought about it, it seems that there is such a thing.

"You gave him a hallucinogenic potion?"

"Yes! When I left, I secretly took your bottle of magic potion away. Later, in the prison, I poured the magic potion into his water, and then, using a small spell, I turned myself into a good monk.

When he saw me, he knelt before me, hugged my leg and wept bitterly, and kept begging me to save him. I said, "How could the teacher not save you?" Then, they coaxed him. In the end, I said, you must not let them find the body, as long as you can't find the body, when you send it to the government for retrial, you can immediately retract your confession, and you can save your life! At that time, Master will spend some more money to rescue you.

He actually believed it, and then 1510 told me the truth about where the nine men were buried. ”

"Well done! You are indeed a talent! If you're interested, when you're promoted to the peak of the Heavenly Rank, I'll recruit you to the Law and Punishment Division!" ”

"Really?" Yue Xiaoyue jumped up happily, stretched out her arms and almost stepped forward to hug her again. However, suddenly remembering that this was too inappropriate, he lowered his head in embarrassment and fiddled with the corners of his clothes.

"Okay, you go and rest, we have to go to the autopsy tomorrow."

"Aren't we going overnight?"

Zhou Zheng shook his head, "Let's not go, let the people in the yamen go by themselves!" ”

"Why?" Yue Xiaoyue was a little puzzled.

"These corpses, I just want to see their deaths and speculate what Chen Xiao is doing. However, we want these corpses to be useless, and we can't condemn Chen Xiao. On the contrary, the yamen needs these corpses, which is evidence of the crime! As you said, with these corpses, you are not afraid that Chen Xiao will retract his confession again! ”

In fact, the most important point, Zhou Zheng did not say. He always felt that Yue Xiaoyue had obtained this news too easily.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

After forcibly persuading Yue Xiaoyue to go next door to rest, Zhou Zheng came to the house of the catcher, easily entered his dream, and reminded him of the place where the body was buried by catching the quick.

After that, things went much smoother.

The government found eight bodies in a row in one day. Except for two of these corpses that were earth-level peak cultivators, the rest of the bodies were all heaven-level cultivators, and two of them were heaven-level high-level cultivators.

These are almost the same as the list of missing disciples found by Yang Shan.

The cause of their death was that they had been drained of their spiritual power and essence. However, these many spiritual powers and essences were not in Chen Xiao's body, where did they go? This point made Zhou Zheng puzzled.

There was also a last body, but it was not found at the location where Chen Xiao confessed. The people in the government also worked hard, digging three feet into the ground, but they still found nothing.

With eight corpses, it was enough to sentence Chen Xiao to Ling Chi to death, so the officials who had been busy all day had no energy, and they didn't bother to find the ninth corpse, so they didn't bother to look for it anymore. hastily put away the guys' affairs, and happily called it a day and went home.

The ninth corpse, the deceased was an elder of Jiuhua Mountain who had just been promoted, a disciple of Qingsong, a junior disciple of Yunkong, and a peak cultivator of the Heavenly Rank.

The government officials in the world were reluctant to find this corpse, but the Department of Punishment had to find it.

This matter fell on Zhou Zheng's head again.

So, where is this corpse? Is it not at the address that Chen Xiao confessed? Why did the officials dig three feet into the ground but couldn't find the body?

Yue Xiaoyue, who has always been competitive and competitive, heard that the information she got was wrong, and immediately asked Zhan to go to Psychedelic Chen Xiao again, no matter what, she had to ask where the ninth body was buried?

Zhou Zheng disagreed. He felt that the matter was getting more and more confusing.

Chen Xiao, a mortal, he would definitely not be able to accomplish such a big thing alone, especially if there were people at the top of the Heaven Rank or even peak cultivation among the people he dealt with! If he did it alone, it's a bit of a fool's dream!

Zhou Zheng tried Yu Ruyi, and when Yue Xiaoyue urged him, even if he was an immortal-level cultivator, his spiritual power would be quickly devoured.

From this point of view, it should be an indisputable fact that those disciples were designed by Chen Xiao and died under Yu Ruyi!

However, Jade Ruyi itself does not preserve spiritual power, but transmits it to the caster's body. For example, the current Yue Xiaoyue, after several attempts by Zhou Zheng, the spiritual power in her body was sharply filled, and there were faint signs of breaking through to the peak of the Heavenly Order.

What puzzled Zhou Zheng was that the spiritual power he had used just a few times was only the strength of the middle level of the Heavenly Rank. But even so, it was quite difficult for Yue Xiaoyue to absorb these spiritual powers like a sea tide. If these spiritual powers directly entered the mortal body of Chen Xiao, let alone absorbed, these spiritual powers flowed through his body once, and he would definitely explode and die!

Yue Xiaoyue also remembered one thing, a small part of his spiritual power had been absorbed by Chen Xiao through Yu Ruyi, and then, the wounds on his body were all healed. This shows that Chen Xiao can directly absorb spiritual power.

However, the spiritual power of the nine deceased people together was no worse than the cultivation of an immortal level. With so much spiritual power, how did Chen Xiao absorb it? Even if Chen Xiao was able to absorb these spiritual powers, why didn't there be any trace of spiritual power flowing on his body? How could he still be a mortal? However, if Chen Xiao didn't absorb it, where would those people's spiritual power go?

Zhou Zheng once again went through the scene of Yue Xiaoyue and Chen Xiao's interrogation that day in his mind. He suddenly thought of a question, at that time, the reason why Chen Xiao had to answer all questions was not because he was afraid of Yue Xiaoyue. Otherwise, he would not have been tortured in the government and would not have spoken a word.

So, why did he say it? Why did you tell Yue Xiaoyue so many secrets?

He's dragging his feet! Right! He said that he was naturally waiting for his master to come!

And, when he felt that his master's good deeds had come, his face was full of joy, a joy of completing the task and waiting for the reward!

This kind of expression has been seen on Yue Xiaoyue's face. No wonder Yue Xiaoyue's expression when she asked for credit yesterday, Zhou Zheng always felt that he had seen this expression somewhere!

Chen Xiao is deliberately delaying time and other good deeds! Judging from his fearless expression, it was certainly not the first time!

Could it be that the spiritual power of those disciples was taken away by good deeds?
