Chapter 24: The First Case of Youzhou

in the room.

Zuo Dao looked at the official seal of the commander at the end of the letter, and there was a look of contemplation on his face.

According to common sense, Kyoto should be in contact with the pacification envoy.

However, this letter was written by the commander's own hand.

The letter said that he was secretly looking for the source of the demons in Youzhou.

Could it be that the commanders in the capital, or even the people above, feel that the demons in Youzhou are man-made.

If it is man-made, what are they for?

The subversion of the Great Wei is still the Taoist species mentioned at the end of the letter.

After all, he was asked to look for the Dao species, but the commander of the envoy, the leader of the Jinyi Guard, was still a third-grade master.

A three-grade member who only serves the emperor.

Moreover, the mention of the Dao is a cipher text that can only be learned at the level of Jinyi Wei Thousand Households.

This proves that no one else should know about it.

The right to know about this matter, the official position of the pacification envoy is insufficient.

Not even the rank of the commander and the commander of the same knowledge is not enough to access this secret.

Zuo Dao's brows furrowed.

It's better to find the source of the demons, after all, there are nearly ninety percent of the demons and monsters in Jinyiwei's case library.

But what is this kind?

He didn't even know what the Dao Seed looked like, so how could he find it?

Zuo Dao came back to his senses and put the letter in his hand on the candle flame and lit it.

The letter was engulfed in flames and quickly reduced to a puddle of ashes.

Zuo Dao waved his hand slightly, and the palm wind caressed, and the letter instantly dissipated into nothingness.

He stood up and walked out of the room.

I saw Zhao Hu guarding the door, looking around vigilantly.

After seeing Zuo Dao come out, he bowed slightly and said, "My lord, you came out." ”

Zuo Dao nodded and asked, "Where is Du Qianhu?" ”

Zhao Hu said: "Du Qianhu is now on duty in the yamen, and he should be in the front hall at the moment, whether he wants his subordinates to invite him." ”

Zuo Dao waved his hand and said, "No, I'll go to the front hall." ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately followed behind Zuo Dao and walked towards the front hall.

Come to the Frontrooms.

I saw Du Wanshan sitting there, sifting through the special cases that had not yet been solved in Youzhou.

This so-called special case is a case involving demons and monsters.

Ordinary cases are handled by the yamen themselves.

Only this kind of demon haunting, ghost appearing, and murdering the people will be sent to the Jinyi Guard Yamen.

Du Wanshan handed over the stack of cases at hand to his subordinates, and asked him to send them to the front for distribution.

The cases he chose were all done by low-level demons or ghosts.

With his previous success in the suburbs, Du Wanshan has become much more daring.

Seeing this, Zuo Dao immediately smiled and said: "Master Du is really conscientious, a model for my generation!" ”

Du Wanshan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Zuo Qianhu said that he laughed, if there was no method that Zuo Qianhu handed over to the lowly post before, the lowly post would not dare to act so drastically." ”

He stepped down, gave up his throne, and said, "Your Excellency has come this time, but I have something to explain. ”

Zuo Dao nodded and said, "This official is a little unfamiliar with this case, and I hope that my lord will find the case and map about the appearance of the demon in Youzhou." ”

When Du Wanshan heard this, he immediately ordered his subordinates to find the Jinyi guards who were in charge of guarding the case storehouse.

But before he could make a move, he listened to Zuo Dao and continued: "Lord Du, this matter is still going to Lord Lao in person, and in the future, the case library of this Jinyi Guard will not be allowed to enter unless it is a deputy thousand households and above." ”

When Du Wanshan heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then nodded and said, "I understand." ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Wanshan walked towards the case library.

Zhao Hu accompanied Zuo Dao and asked in a low voice, "My lord, do you think someone will attack the case?" ’

Zuo Dao shook his head and said, "It's hard to say." ”

If someone really wants to attack the case, before he comes to Youzhou, someone will take action directly.

But now what he is worried about is not that someone will take action against the case.

It's the force behind the Jinyi Wei Qianhu.

The previous two Jinyi Wei Qianhu died in Youzhou for various reasons.

And there is not the slightest fault in the cause of death.

But if it was really a normal death, then how could it be that even the bones could not be found, leaving only bloody clothes and weapons.

Just as Zuo Dao was pondering, Du Wanshan came with a pile of papers, and at the top there was a detailed map of the entire Youzhou.

Du Wanshan said: "My lord, in the past fifteen years, almost all the cases in Youzhou have been here. ”

After Zuo Dao asked Zhao Hu to take it, he said with a smile: "There is Lord Laodu." ”

Du Wanshan smiled, and then said in a low voice: "When I went to the case library, I found that there were people observing the houses near the case library, but the adults arranged it?" ”

Zuo Dao was stunned when he heard this, turned his head to look at Zhao Hu and said, "What Lord Du said, is it our people?" ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, his face changed slightly, and he said, "My lord, on the house, there have been no brothers yet. ”

Du Wanshan frowned slightly, and said, "It seems that when the adults came over this time, some people couldn't sit still." ”

Zuo Dao said: "Zhao Hu, arrange for people to take turns on duty on the house in the case storehouse, and if there is a shortage of people, find Du Qianhu to dispatch." ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he hurriedly responded.

Subsequently, Zuo Dao said to Du Wanshan: "The matter of this Jinyi Guard Yamen, there is Lord Lao Du on duty, and this official will go to learn about the affairs of Youzhou." ”

Du Wanshan arched his hand and said: "It should be so, adults go slowly." ”

Zuo Dao nodded slightly, and then walked outside.

Wait until Zhao Hu puts a document into Zuo Dao's room.

Zuo Daocai opened his mouth and said: "During this time, you and Zhang Long took turns to guard the case library, and this time Du Qianhu's killing of ghosts seems to have shocked some people." ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, my lord." ”

"My lord, I need to investigate secretly and find out the rat who is peeking at my Jinyi Guard's case."

Zuo Dao: "It's good to do your best in this matter, there is no need to search excessively, since they are already shocked, there will inevitably be movements, and the bigger their movements, the easier it is to show their feet." ”

When Zhao Hu heard this, he answered, and then left the room directly.

The left path is to divide the documents according to the timeline, starting from the very beginning of the case of demons.

Records related to demons and monsters have actually existed since the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty.

But what was really determined was fifteen years ago, after the accident occurred in the 100,000 mountains of Youzhou.

Countless wild beasts came down from the mountain and began to frequently attack the people below.

The number of Yamauchi Miao people has plummeted, and they go to Kyoto to seek the emperor's refuge, praying for troops to be sent to suppress the 100,000 mountain beast tide.

Since then, demons and monsters have begun to appear frequently in Youzhou.

Not only Youzhou, but also other state capitals located on the border have also successively shown signs of demonic chaos.

It's just that Youzhou is the most serious.

The left side will take a closer look at all the paperwork.

At the beginning, the first case in Youzhou that was identified as a demon in a troubled world was also the appalling eighteen ghost cases of the year.
