Chapter 68 Clouds and Rain

Outside Xiantao Town, Xue Qingqing walked on the ridge, walked for a while, and came to the middle of the field, which was her grandfather's field.

"This spell casting should have a larger range, if it is my grandfather's field, Tsing Yiwei will definitely suspect me, but how big is it, if the scope is large, then Li Hongsleeve will notice it"

Xue Qingqing frowned, now facing a dilemma, if the scope of the spell is small, only watering the dozens of acres of land in her grandfather's house, it will inevitably be detected at that time, but the scope of the spell is large, and she is afraid that Li Hongsleeve in Shannan Town, thirty miles away, will notice.

"No matter, do your best, once the spell is cast, go back immediately"

Xue Qingqing hesitated for a long time, and finally decided to do it, use the immortal technique as much as possible, as big as he could, and secretly go back after the cast.

After deciding, Xue Qingqing began to pinch the trick with both hands, and the immortal power flowed on her body, as if there was a suction force on her body, forming a whirlpool, and the white clouds in the sky were still gathering, getting thicker and thicker.

When it gathered to a certain extent, the white clouds began to slowly turn black, and even lightning flashed in the dark clouds, but Xue Qingqing's face became whiter and whiter, and his whole body trembled.

"Enough, can't be any bigger, can't hold it anymore"

Seeing that the dark clouds were three or four miles in size, Xue Qingqing couldn't hold it anymore, she didn't know how to make talismans, every time she traveled to the clouds and rain, she was casting spells, which was a great test for her cultivation.

After collecting the immortal power, the dark clouds no longer expanded, and it began to rain, and a figure appeared, it was Xue Qingqing's personal bodyguard, Uncle Zhong, grabbing Xue Qingqing, who was exhausted, and quickly retreated.

······

In Shannan Town, in the middle of the night, Jiang Cheng and Li Hongsleeve were meditating, and suddenly, the two opened their eyes almost at the same time, and the next moment, Jiang Cheng heard the sound of Li Hongsleeve flying out of the window.

"The wild fairy appeared, but why can I feel it?"

Jiang Cheng looked at the figure of Li Hongsleeves flying away, and was very suspicious in his heart, just now when he was meditating and absorbing the essence of the moon, he felt an inexplicable fluctuation, very peculiar, as if someone was exerting internal force, coupled with Li Hongsleeve's reaction, Jiang Cheng guessed that it should be a movement made by the wild immortals.

"Let's go and see what the wild fairy looks like"

Jiang Cheng thought about it, and also opened the window, cast a smoke and cloud step, and disappeared into the courtyard.

Jiang Cheng's smoke and cloud steps are also in the stage of Xiaocheng, one step can fly a distance of about one, the speed is extremely fast, how fast Jiang Cheng doesn't know, anyway, it must have surpassed the sprint champion in his memory, and a hundred meters must not be ten seconds.

"It's raining, it's really a wild fairy"

After running for a while, Jiang Cheng saw dark clouds in the distance, it was raining, and it was very obvious under the moonlight, which surprised Jiang Cheng.

The further he ran, the more obvious it became, and even the sound of rain could be heard, in the village less than a mile away from Xiantao Town, Jiang Cheng saw that the whole village was in a stir, and everyone came out, kneeling down and begging at the dark clouds, hoping that the dark clouds would fly to their village and rain down on their land.

Xiantao Town is even more so, the whole town is a sensation, everyone gets up, in the midst of cheering, some people even smear those who carry hoes to work, they are going to strengthen and raise the ridges, used to store rainwater.

"One step too late, no one found"

Li Hongsleeve quietly appeared beside Jiang Cheng and said to him that when she came, the rain had already fallen and the person was gone.

"It's okay, it's confirmed that it's in Xiantao Town, please ask the eldest princess to mobilize people over"

"Don't worry, I've already sent a message, I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go"

Li Hongsleeve's killing intent was gloomy, this is the strict requirement of Xianmen, if she doesn't do it, someone else will do it, if it is possible that the wild immortals may be hidden in any place in Qingzhou before, they can't kill all the people in Qingzhou, but Xiantao Town is just a town with a population of thousands, and Xianmen is very likely to slaughter Xiantao Town to force the wild immortals to appear.

Jiang Cheng was indifferent, looking at these ecstatic villagers, a sadness rose in his heart, these people didn't know that the butcher's knife had reached their heads.

At dawn, the other six immortals who asked the Immortal Pavilion had already arrived, and the officials in Shannan Town who followed Jiang Cheng and them also came, and the officials asked the mayor of the town to mobilize the young and strong, blocking the roads in Xiantao Town, prohibiting anyone from haunting.

By noon, the elite men and horses of Tsing Yiwei arrived, with more than 100 horsemen, and began to search Xiantao Town door to door, focusing on outsiders, the countryside was extremely closed, and outsiders were very significant.

"My lord, there were outsiders in this family yesterday"

In front of a building with blue bricks and black tiles, more than a dozen Tsing Yi guards surrounded the family, Jiang Cheng took a look, the house was quite large, and it looked like a landlord family in the town.

Jiang Cheng walked in and saw more than ten people controlled by Tsing Yiwei, a typical rural family, three generations in the same house, two old husbands and wives, plus sons and grandchildren, more than ten people.

"Who is the head of the house?"

"Back to the adult, the little old man is"

"What to call"

"Little old man Zhou Mancang, here are all my family"

"This young lady too?"

Jiang Cheng pointed to Xue Qingqing in the crowd, although this family is a wealthy family in the village and town, but that young lady is typical of the appearance of a young lady, the guards around her have good martial arts, and they are definitely not weaker than first-class masters, and they are definitely not what people in villages and towns can have.

"Lord Hui, this is the young lady of the Xue family in Cheongju City, my granddaughter, and this is her guard."

"Yes, Miss Xue, come out and talk"

"Yes, my lord"

"Where did Miss Xue arrive in Xiantao Town yesterday?"

"Yes"

"What is the matter that brought you over?"

"Back to my lord, there are two reasons, the Xue family is a grain merchant in Qingzhou, many people in Xiantao Town and my Xue family are friends who have cooperated for many years, and now there is a drought in Xiantao Town, I came to visit on behalf of the Xue family, and the second is that this is my foreign family, and I came back to visit my grandparents and three uncles on behalf of my mother."

"Didn't lie?"

"No, if you don't believe me, you can go to the town and ask."

"Your guards are good."

"My lord, Uncle Zhong has been the guard of my Xue family for more than ten years, and he is also quite famous in Qingzhou, my lord will know after a little inquiry, and the people of the rivers and lakes will give him the nickname Eagle Claw Xue Zhong"

Xue Qingqing replied, the answer was neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and well-founded, and Jiang Cheng couldn't find anything wrong.

"Okay, I'll not bother"

"My lord, when will we be able to leave, I will go to the next village to visit my friends"

"Wait and see"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand, and then left Xiantao Town, going to the next place where there were outsiders.

After walking around, there are a total of seven families in the more than 200 households in the town who have outsiders in three days, without exception, all of them are relatives.

"Eldest princess, since you can't find out, it's better to arrest all the people in the town, even if the wild fairy is not there, there must be someone here who cares about him, and he can be forced to come out"

"Eldest princess, I think this strategy is good, you can give it a try"

"Eldest Princess..."

A few immortals who asked the Immortal Pavilion wanted to arrest all the villagers, but they didn't believe it, and they couldn't force the wild immortals to come, he dared to take such a big risk, there must be people they were familiar with in this town.

"No, eldest princess, never"

"Jiang Cheng, what are you talking about?"

"What's not to do"

"The reason is very simple, even if there are people in Xiantao Town who the wild immortals care about, but you have arrested all the people, what do people think, will they still admit it, they must not admit it, this is a startling snake, it is better to investigate slowly"

"Jiang Cheng, the arrest of Yexian is an important case, and it can't be slow"

"After beating the grass and startling the snake, you will never be able to catch it again, and there will be one more wild immortal enemy, you can think about it yourself"

Jiang Cheng replied, he didn't say anything more, and handed over the choice to Li Hongsleeve, and he was in charge.

"Jiang Cheng"

"The Lower Officials Are In"

"Can I find out?"

"Don't dare to promise, try your best"

"Okay, I'll give you a day, if you can't find out within a day, a large number of Tsing Yi guards will arrive, and then everyone will be brought back to Qingzhou City and investigated."

Li Hongsleeve replied, taking everyone away, it was a last resort, if Jiang Cheng had a way, she would not do it.

"Yes, the lower officials do their best"

Jiang Cheng arched his hand, and he could only do his best.

Half an hour later, Jiang Cheng, Li Hongsleeve and others came to the farmland outside the town, last night's rain had been falling for two hours, most of the farmland was filled with water, and even some seedlings had become verdant.

"Eldest princess, can you find out where the center of last night's rain is?"

"Yesterday's movement, not like the rain talisman, should be cast with a spell, the caster should be standing in that area"

"Mayor Mare, whose farmland does that area belong to?"

"Zhou Mancang's, Zhou..."

The mayor of the town reported six or seven names in a row, this flat land is about three or four hundred acres, a total of fifty or sixty households, and this is also the best field in Xiantao Town.

"Is Zhou Mancang?"

Jiang Cheng heard a familiar name, wasn't this Miss Xue's grandfather?

"Yes, my lord"

"Did you know that Miss Xue came to Xiantao Town yesterday?"

"I know, Miss Xue visited more than ten families in the town yesterday, and my family is also among them, and we sell surplus grain to the Xue family every year, and we have been friends for many years."

"How about Miss Xue, tell me what you know?"

"Yes, my lord"

The mayor began to talk about their impression of Xue Qingqing, Xue Qingqing is seventeen years old this year, and she has been in Xue's business for three years, and the people in Xiantao Town have a good impression of her, because Xue Qingqing is very good at being a person and doing business fairly, and everyone admires her very much.

"Does this Miss Xue have a marriage match?"

"Nope"

"That's it, okay, got it"

Jiang Cheng waved his hand and asked the mayor to go down, Jiang Cheng walked to the ridge of the front door and carefully observed on the ground.

"Did you find anything?"

"Not yet"

"You'd better find out, or you'll go to jail, you know"

Li Hongsleeve said that the level of handling cases of the officials is very low, and entering the prison is torture, and if this is done, many people in Xiantao Town will suffer.

"I know, I'll go around town first"

Jiang Cheng nodded, and then went to the town to take another look.
