Chapter 69: Acceptance
Seeing the sign of the Monster Hunting Division, the bustard's expression changed instantly.
In the country of Dayu, there are three organizations that are extremely special.
That is, the Heavenly Prison, the Anti-Evil Division, and the Demon Hunting Division.
These three organizations were directly under the control of the emperor, and in normal times, local officials could only do their best to cooperate.
If you don't cooperate, just find a crime and make you drink a pot.
For ordinary people, the ones who have more contact are generally the Anti-Evil Division and the Demon Hunting Division.
One is dedicated to arresting the most vicious criminals, and the other is dedicated to dealing with monsters and evil cults.
In front of the two, not to mention ordinary people, even officials with a certain status will seem a little uncomfortable.
When Lin Qianxing pulled the tiger skin and showed the brand of the Demon Hunting Division, the things that happened after the bustard were much more cooperative.
She directly took Lin Qianxing to a private room, and then accepted Lin Qianxing's interrogation.
"Let me ask you, has there ever been an Oiran surnamed Xiao in your Spring Building?" Lin Qianxing asked.
When the old bustard heard this, his expression was a little uncomfortable, and then he said, "The adult is talking about Xiao Han, right?" She has been dead for eight years, that girl was at her peak, but she had to elope with a Xiucai, who knew that after he ransomed her, that Xiucai thought that she was Pu Liu's body, not worthy of him, Xiao Han was ashamed and angry, so she hanged herself, it is a pity, I have persuaded her many times, but she can't be persuaded...."
The story is very well said, but whether it is true or false is another story, Lin Qianxing's spirit was condensed, and an invisible coercion shrouded the old bustard, forcing him to ask: "What you said is true?" But how did I hear that you killed her? ”
The old bustard was oppressed by Lin Qianxing's spiritual coercion, his expression was ugly, and he hurriedly replied: "Back to my lord, what the old man said is true, and he will never dare to hide it!" ”
"This matter is about a big demon, if what you say is half false, the demon hunting department will definitely make your life worse than death!!" Lin Qianxing elaborated on the relationship.
"My lord, how dare I deceive a grass people, but what happened to the scholar at the beginning was a little strange." The old bustard said anxiously: "Xiao Han originally brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry as a dowry before she died, but when she died, these things were gone, and when I collected the body for her, I also saw some scars on her body, maybe her death was related to that scholar..."
"Then why didn't you report the suspicion to the government at that time and investigate the case?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"At that time, I also had resentment in my heart, complaining that Xiao Han had wasted years of cultivation on his redemption, and such a scandal might affect my Baihua Pavilion's business, so I didn't report it to the official..."
At this time, her expression was already very ugly, although the spiritual coercion did not cause substantial harm, but Lin Qianxing's spirit was so strong, she was already a little difficult to breathe just by feeling that oppression.
Seeing this, Lin Qianxing also put away his mental coercion, and said: "The Demon Hunting Division has its own ability to investigate the truth of what you say, if you lie, hum!" ”
"Don't dare, don't dare!" The old bustard breathed heavily, and at the same time replied.
"Where is the scholar now?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Five years ago, he dyed a very special flower willow and died." The old bustard hesitated for a moment and said.
Lin Qianxing glanced at the old bustard suspiciously, squinted his eyes slightly, and said, "Isn't that death without proof?" ”
"My lord, I don't dare to lie to you!!" The old bustard said.
"I'm in my own hands." Lin Qianxing got up and said, "I hope what you say is true!" ”
The voice fell, and Lin Qianxing directly turned into purple light and left from the window.
Seeing this scene, the old bustard was also startled, but she didn't expect that Lin Qianxing, who was questioning beside her, would be such a character.
But her face didn't show any abnormality, and she even patted her chest and muttered: "It's good that everything is told the truth, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause trouble!" ”
Lin Qianxing detected this scene with his spirit, and his face became thoughtful.
The bustard doesn't seem to be lying, that is, this has really become a headless case?
Even if that scholar really killed Xiao Han, he is dead now, what is there to say?
Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing turned his head and went to the county seat.
After showing the sign of the Demon Hunting Division, Lin Qianxing easily came into contact with the officials here, and even the county magistrate came to meet him in person.
When Lin Qianxing said that he wanted to investigate the matter of the scholar at the beginning, he immediately asked someone to look through the file and household registration to find the corresponding records for him to see, and even found his former fox friend and dog friend to tell Lin Qianxing some details of his life before his death.
At this time, Lin Qianxing also had to sigh, this official identity is really easy to use.
Soon, Lin Qianxing knew about the scholar's ancestors for three generations and even relatives from all walks of life.
The scholar's name is Cheng Jue, and his ancestor was also an official in the imperial court, but his grandfather's generation was involved in a major event, and finally was dismissed because of the wrong position.
In this way, he quickly used up his ancestral savings.
At this time, by chance, he relied on a poem praising the Oiran to spend a night with the Oiran Xiao Han at that time.
He realized that this was an opportunity, so he disguised himself as a down-and-out scholar with great ambitions and won Xiao Han's favor.
Then he went to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion one after another, and quickly brushed Xiao Han's favorability to a certain level, and said in time that he had no money to use, and he couldn't come back in the future.
Xiao Han also had a certain affection for Cheng Jue at this time, so he took out his savings and gave them to Cheng Jue and asked him to meet him.
What happened after that turned out to be very old-fashioned.
Cheng Jue gradually intensified, using the pretext of reading and taking scientific examinations to squeeze Xiao Han step by step, and obtained more benefits from him.
Even in the end, he coaxed Xiao Han to redeem himself and marry him with the family assets he had accumulated for many years.
Who knew that this was a scam, Xiao Han's family assets were taken away by Cheng Jue, but people were disgusted by Cheng Jue, and even beat Xiao Han when Cheng Jue left, but it was not fatal, and the scars left on her body before she hanged should have been left at this time.
Cheng Jue didn't seem to be ashamed of this matter, but was proud of it, and after Xiao Han's death, he took it out and showed off to his friends for a long time, saying that these Qinglou women had no brains, were stupid and stupid, and believed it casually.
These are the stories told by Cheng Jue's fox friends and dog friends, plus the corroboration of others, which is extremely credible.
"Speaking of which, Cheng Jue's infection with flower willows was caused by a woman in a Qinglou named Peach Blossom who couldn't get used to his actions and deliberately came to infect him." A friend of Cheng Jue said.
"You know that?" Lin Qianxing asked.
The man hesitated for a moment, then said, "We all knew it, but we all wanted to see him laugh at the time, so we didn't stop it or tell him." ”
"You fox friends are really "righteous", but he also deserves it. The little official who was consulting the file next to him couldn't help but say.
"Then Peach Blossom won't be retaliated against by Cheng Jue afterwards? Where is she now? Lin Qianxing asked with some emotion.
"Cheng Jue didn't want to take revenge, but he didn't have a chance, Peach Blossom was harmed by Hua Liu's disease, and he had already had the will to die, and after passing Hua Liu to Cheng Jue, he committed suicide by taking poison." Another Cheng Jue's friend said: "It's a pity, such a strange woman, if she doesn't die, even if she dies with flowers and willows, I am willing to spend a night with her." ”
When Lin Qianxing heard this, his eyes looking at him became a little weird.
He really can't understand the thinking of these wanderers.
But the matter is almost clear at this point.
Xiao Han's so-called grievances are just non-people entrusted by himself, which caused him to encounter many misfortunes, and finally it was difficult to face the miserable life and chose to hang himself.
And its initiator, Cheng Jue, was also tortured to death after being infected by a Qinglou woman because of excessive rampant.
Lin Qianxing sighed, where in this world are there so many unjust, false and wrongful cases.
Even if there is, the probability of him encountering it is obviously not particularly high.
After taking out some gold and silver to thank the officials who helped, Lin Qianxing left the county government and went to the dilapidated house where Mei'er lived.
At the slightest call, Mei'er quickly ran out of the house, and asked with anticipation on its face, "Sir, you have something to gain." ”
"I've investigated something, listen to it and see if there's anything you remember." Lin Qianxing said: "Here's the thing...."
After a while, Lin Qianxing told Mei'er everything he had investigated.
After listening to this, Mei'er fell silent, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "That Cheng Jue died so simply." ”
"Miss Mei'er, after you became a sperm, haven't you investigated these things?" Lin Qianxing asked with some confusion.
"Sir doesn't know, I accidentally ate a warm jade three years ago to enlighten the spirit, the essence is short, although I have investigated Sister Xiao's past, but because of the weakness and the matter has been many years, I have not heard any useful news." Mei'er explained.
"What are you going to do now?" Lin Qianxing asked.
"Mei'er promised Mr. that as long as Mr. investigates the truth for Sister Xiao, Mei'er is willing to be a slave for Mr. and wait for him." Mei'er said softly.
Lin Qianxing smiled with satisfaction, he squatted down beside Mei'er and stretched out his hand towards Mei'er's head.
Mei'er hesitated slightly, but in the end she didn't dodge.
After Lin Qianxing's broad palm landed on the top of Mei'er's head and gently stroked it twice, her face also showed a comfortable expression.
"Purr Purr~!"
Lin Qianxing's face showed a look of satisfaction, and said: "I usually live outside the city, I'm afraid the environment there is not suitable for you, what do you think of me buying this residence and renovating it?" ”
"Purr ~ Mei'er is all arranged by Mr. ~ Purr ~!" Mei'er spoke up.
When Lin Qianxing saw the cat in this state, he couldn't hold back, and directly hugged it in his arms and sucked it in.
"Sir~!" Mei'er said in some surprise and shyness.
"Mei'er, do you have a surname?" Lin Qianxing hugged the cat and asked calmly.
"Mei'er has only remembered her name since she was enlightened, and she has no surname." Mei'er replied.
I don't know why, she always feels that her new master seems to be a little too fond of her, but it's clear that they've only met for less than a day!
"Why don't you have the same surname as your old master, have a big name, and be easy to call in the future." Lin Qianxing suggested.
"Xiao Mei'er?" Mei'er muttered.
