Chapter 81: A Shocking Case
"What a White Lotus Sect, it is simply audacious to dare to be so presumptuous in the county town."
"The bluestone ruins are about to open, but there are statistics on how many cases are related to the White Lotus Sect."
In the center of the county, there are many buildings, the most majestic building is where the lord of Qingzhou is located, the famous sky tower, a total of 36 floors, can overlook the prosperity of Qingzhou county.
And at this moment, a huge roar from the top floor resounded in the sky, and it was the state lord who was angry.
Many Qingzhou officials are trembling, and these big officials who usually dominate one side are trembling like a little chicken at the moment.
The official in front replied in a trembling voice, "In the past half a month until yesterday, there have been a total of 2,268 cases in the county town, of which 2,134 cases have been investigated for clues that may involve the White Lotus Sect."
"Those captured by the White Lotus Sect are all men or women around the age of sixteen, either at home or when they go out to play, and disappear without a trace."
"According to the investigation, the captives have one thing in common, they are all virgins, and in the humble opinion of the lower officials, what an evil ritual the White Lotus Sect is performing."
Hearing this, the state lord's eyes suddenly became sharp.
He said in a cold voice: "The White Lotus Yin Yang Reincarnation Dafa, also known as the technique of returning to heaven and returning to spring, this kind of evil means is specially designed for officials, and it can wash away the official remnants of the limbs, meridians, flesh and blood, and the soul of the official."
"After being baptized by this technique, you can return to the time of your youth, and your talent is superior, and you can enter the foundation and step on the road of cultivating immortals."
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the entire lobby.
It's just that in this scolding tone, there is a little bit of envy hidden.
There is a way that if people do not do it for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed.
Some officials who understood the link immediately understood that it must be a minister in the capital division, or the royal family, who had joined the White Lotus Sect.
An official said angrily: "Lord Yuzhou, such an earth-shattering event must be reported to the Jingshi immediately, and the Haotian Divine Mirror will be used to investigate the truth of the White Lotus, rescue the abducted people, and block its scheme."
The state lord nodded and said, "This kind of evil technique must be practiced in three years, three sacrifices, and 1,800 men and women will be taken every year, and they will be sacrificed alive on the 14th day of the seventh month, the Ghost Festival of the Middle Yuan, and the underworld can be passed through the underworld."
"This kind of big case has not been seen in Daqian in the past two years, and the last time it appeared was 80 years ago."
"It seems that we are waiting for Qingzhou to be the first round, and there will be frequent occurrences in the next two years."
"After the meeting is adjourned, this official will directly inform Your Majesty that you have recently stepped up inspections and must not let the thieves succeed."
That being said, but the state lord's tone went to the back and became calmer, and he didn't put too much pressure on him.
The officials below also gave up, but things seemed to be much easier.
Because everyone knows that it is difficult to say that there is a result of such a thing, or even that there is almost no possibility of a result.
According to the current jurisdiction of the government, the other party's targets are all ordinary people, and it is almost impossible to prevent it, but it is just to show that there must be a charter.
The entire county has 80 million people, and according to the state lord, the White Lotus Sect is now short of a few hundred people, and it is basically difficult to say what the result is.
To put it cruelly, the White Lotus Sect generally does not attack the children of officials, and most of the people who were taken away were ordinary people, only three or four thousand, and it was not a big deal.
However, just as the meeting was adjourned, an old man suddenly ran in in a hurry.
It stands to reason that this is the Wangtianlou, the office of the state lord, how could ordinary people run in without connecting with each other.
However, when the officials saw the old man's appearance, they immediately understood.
This is the old butler of the state lord.
"Master, master, something is wrong."
The old butler's face was full of horror and panic, and he shouted loudly and tremblingly as he entered the door.
The state lord frowned and asked, "Why are you so alarmed?"
The old butler knelt on the ground and replied tremblingly, "Master, the nineteenth princess, she was taken away by the people of the White Lotus Sect."
"What !!?" The state lord stood up suddenly, his eyes full of disbelief.
Fang Cai was still talking about the White Lotus Sect, as we all know, in such matters, the White Lotus Sect would never touch the people of the official mansion, let alone the princess.
"You tell me the details, quickly."
There was only a moment of anger, and the expression on the state lord's face immediately calmed down.
Whenever there is a calm in a major event, at this time, it is not as angry as before.
In the end, what happened before was just to show the officials, and now it is naturally not like this.
The old housekeeper said nervously, "The nineteenth princess took her maidservant and sneaked out to visit the county town, and the subordinates also secretly followed."
"It stands to reason that in this county town, there are very few other things happening, but it is just a turn in the corner of an alley, and the person is gone, and you can't find it no matter how you look for it."
The state lord asked in a deep voice, "How long ago was this?"
The old butler hurriedly said, "About a stick of incense."
The state lord suddenly said: "Pass on this official order, order the government army, the state guard army, the white jade army, and the three armies to dispatch and immediately block the surrounding area for three hundred miles."
"Immediately send an order to the Heavenly Supervisor to search for the princess's whereabouts immediately."
"Qingzhou County Discipline Court Meeting."
The county shou court immediately took a step forward, raised his hand and said, "The lower official is here."
The state lord nodded: "Immediately send the county guard yamen to arrest the head and start a search."
The county magistrate replied, "Respect the order of the governor."
With a wave of the state lord's hand, all the personnel immediately mobilized, and the state lord's face at the moment also became extremely gloomy.
The age of the nineteenth princess is also sixteen years old, and she is very favored by His Majesty.
It stands to reason that the royal children, even if they have the influence of dragon qi, under the accumulation of royal resources, they can complete the foundation building before the age of fifteen, but the cultivation of the back road is more difficult, and they may not be able to break the middle stage of foundation building in a hundred years.
However, the nineteenth princess, as the youngest princess, was deeply loved by His Majesty and the queen, and her playful personality failed to build a foundation.
There are many royal treasures, but they are not needed without a foundation.
However, the princess's personal maid can build the foundation, and the maidservant seal can also attract official spirit, which is at least equal to the Yuan Infant Realm.
"There's something strange in this."
The governor soon realized that the disappearance of the princess may have little to do with the White Lotus Sect, but that someone was carrying out such kidnapping in the name of the White Lotus Sect.
This is a bit of a headache for the state owner.
He would rather be done by the White Lotus Sect, and it would be easier to deal with it, if it weren't for the White Lotus Sect, it would really be troublesome.
In the huge hall, there was only one state lord left, and after thinking about it, the state lord said loudly; "The left and right protectors are here."
As soon as the state lord's voice fell, two figures suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, both of whom looked like old men.
The two of them shook each other and said in unison:
"Left Protector."
"Right Protector."
"Obey the state lord."
The two of them are dressed in brocade clothes, obviously have no official position, and their breath is extremely restrained, they seem to be ordinary people, but they are actually powerful gods.
The government and the sect, in the upper echelons, have never been separated.
Especially the state lord, controlling a state, naturally the effectiveness of the cultivator is indispensable.
It is very common for big officials to support their customers.
"Wait for the two of you, immediately think of contacting the White Lotus Sect and ask them to hand over Her Royal Highness the princess immediately, otherwise, don't blame the prince for being polite."
The state lord said coldly.
These words are threats, the White Lotus Sect is indeed very hidden, but if the state lord really makes up his mind to break the net with the White Lotus Sect, it will also be unbearable for the White Lotus Sect.
At this time, here in the county town, the wind has changed greatly.
The government army, the state guard army, and the white jade army are the three major pro-armies in Qingzhou.
Each army had 100,000 men.
300,000 people doesn't seem like a lot for a county town, but even the smallest soldiers here can be right
The strength of the anti-knot realm.
The three are all commanding envoys, and they are powerful in fighting alone, without the slightest pressure at all.
But these individual cultivation is nothing, for the cultivators of the entire Qingzhou sect, let alone 300,000, even if it is 600,000, 1 million is useless.
And the reason why the three armies can suppress Qingzhou, the most critical factor is the military formation.
The military array, before the ancient times, did not exist among the cultivators.
Rather, it existed in much more ancient times.
That was the key to the ancient dynasty being able to suppress the world.
The establishment of today's major dynasties comes from the relics of ancient dynasties, records of military formations.
When many formations, prohibitions, refining, and alchemy all fell sharply, only the military formation did not seem to be disturbed in any way.
The military formation does not seem to be much different from the formation, but in fact it is completely different.
Formations and prohibitions, the main attraction is aura, in other words, it is also called the power of heaven and earth, the power of heaven.
And the military formation is the force of humanity.
Uniting the flesh and soul of all the soldiers through the military formation is not as simple as one plus one.
The most basic military formation only needs ten sergeants to be used together.
If you can exert half of the power of the basic army array, ten sergeants equivalent to the foundation building realm can kill ten foundation building cultivators, which is as simple as chopping melons and vegetables.
And above the ten-person military array, there are also hundred-person military formations, thousand-person military formations, and 100,000-person military formations.
As far as the current Daqian Dynasty is concerned, it is said that the 100,000-person military formation is already at the end.
100,000 people, even if it is 100,000 knots, can fight and kill the gods, if it is 100,000 gold pills, it can crush the gods.
If it is a 100,000 yuan baby, it can be cut together.
With this military array, how can you not suppress the world, even if it is a demon beast, it does not have the slightest power to resist.
It is said that above the 100,000-person level, there is also a million-person military formation.
Of course, this is just a legend, and there has never been a record of it in history.
Legend has it that a million-dollar baby can also be beheaded by immortals.
However, the immortals mentioned here refer to scattered immortals, not true immortals.
And the lord of Qingzhou was able to suppress the huge Qingzhou, because of the three major government armies.
Bai Yujun, one of the three pro-armies, is the soldier of the 100,000 yuan infant realm.
At this moment, all members of the three pro-armies were dispatched.
Under the ground, three hundred miles in the center of the county, let alone a person, even a fly will never be able to escape.
300,000 pro-troops, plus 100,000 servants, and 100,000 arrests, launched a strict search for the place where the princess disappeared.
This is the most prosperous place in the county, the flow of people is endless, the streets are overflowing, even under the blockade, there are already dense crowds of people on the streets, with nowhere to go, waiting for the officials to arrest and interrogate.
Three hundred miles of land, everyone can only stand still.
With such a large workload, even if there are 500,000 people, I still feel that my scalp is numb.
These three hundred miles alone, as the most prosperous place in the county, are conservatively estimated to have 8 million people, and the government is not enough to catch quickly, and in the end, the pro-army can only participate.
The portrait of the princess was in the hands of the practitioners, like a copy, constantly printed and dyed on the white paper, and then many investigators had a copy.
The appearance of hundreds of portraits in that breath has to be said that it is really a practice that changes life.
However, two hours passed, and the sun was about to set in the west, but nothing was found.
Everyone knows that this blockade will not last too long.
With the supervision and interrogation of the household registration, there is no news on the princess's side, but there are a large number of fugitives who are constantly arrested.
This wave is really a disaster.
At this moment, the three pro-armies were all commanded, and the four gods gathered in the last place where the princess disappeared.
"Roots
According to the interrogation of the surrounding people, the princess did enter this alley and finally disappeared."
"And the three beggars who were in the alley at the time."
"Presumably, those three beggars are White Lotus cultists in disguise, just to intercept the princess."
A god caught his judgment quickly.
But immediately another god hunted interrupted: "This is surprising, according to a certain investigation, these three beggars have been living here for several years, and one of them is even crazy."
"My Qingzhou is prosperous, but if you have hands, you won't starve to death, let alone be so depressed that you beg for a living, this is the most prosperous place, those three beggars should be lazy and lazy, and they like casinos the most on weekdays."
"I've learned in the surrounding casinos that except for the crazy one, the other two of these three people are addicted to gambling, and although the White Lotus Sect is a cult, it has rules and does not accept gamblers."
"And that crazy person, who still had a few dollars in his family before, only passed the imperial examination for fifteen years, and failed every year, so that he was stunned, and he was not in line with the White Lotus Sect's acceptance of disciples."
The third god then added; "Before the princess disappeared, the pedestrians within half an hour had already been interrogated one by one, and there was no mistake in comparing the left and right, one of them was a White Lotus Sect, but this person's strength was low, and he couldn't do it at all."
"It is to judge that the captives should be the realm of gods, and only in the realm of gods can there be such means to make people disappear without a trace."
The fourth god said, "If you want to kidnap Her Royal Highness the princess in the middle of the city so quietly, you really have to transform into a god realm before you can escape the tracking of Si Tianjian."
"But have you ever wondered why the other three beggars and maidservants were taken away if the princess was to be taken away?"
"It's excusable to take away the maidservant, but the disappearance of the three strange ones is a bit strange, with the power of the god realm, how can the three beggars notice it."
"Unless, it's not a human being who makes the princess disappear."
