Chapter 78: Initiative

Li Chuan listened to their conversation, and his heart was full of emotion, and he just wanted to end this matter quickly. So after that, without saying a word, he followed the arrangement of the old man and went to see the old woman and her little granddaughter.

They still live in the inn with the caravan.

When Li Chuan and Wen Guying arrived, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue cotton coat and a coarse cloth belt, directing several small servants to move the cages into the carriage.

The man was a steward of the caravan, surnamed Zhang.

After perceiving Li Chuan and Wen Guying's gaze, Steward Zhang turned around, and Li Chuan took a few steps forward and asked, "Are you leaving?" ”

"yes, you've been here for a long time, are you?" Steward Zhang.

Li Chuan said his identity and intention.

After Steward Zhang saluted, he said, "Two adults, please come with me." ”

Li Chuan and Wen Ying followed him and walked towards the inn.

"Are Su Niang and her granddaughter staying here?" Li Chuan asked.

"Su Niang? The adult is talking about Pan's mother, right? She left with us. Steward Zhang peeked at Li Chuan's face and added, "Xialin Village is gone, she is alone with an old woman with a young child, even if she has a little money, she can't keep it." With the caravan, there is always something for their grandparents to eat. ”

"What kind of people are her sons and daughters-in-law?"

"Her son, Xiao Chen, is a clever man, he has been to private school for a few years, and he speaks in a crepe, so on some occasions when dealing with literati, the boss likes to take him; His daughter-in-law is a little spicy, but her heart is also good. I didn't expect to get sick last year, and I died of illness all at once. ”

"What is it?"

"At first, I thought it was a cold, took medicine, and rested for a few days, but it turned out to be getting heavier and heavier, and I died within a few days."

"Have you seen it?"

"I originally thought of the ...... invited by the town"

While talking, Steward Zhang led them to the stable, where a gray-haired woman with a child on her back was brushing her horse.

Li Chuan knew that this was Pan's mother.

Seeing them come in, Pan's mother stopped what she was doing and turned around.

Her back was a little rickety, and she was carrying the child on her back, which seemed heavier and more crooked. The head of the child on her back was crooked on her neck, her face was a little sweaty, her hair was sticky, and she slept soundly.

Steward Zhang introduced the identities and intentions of Li Chuan and Wen Guying, and said, "The two adults asked, you answered well." ”

Pan's mother agreed.

Could this be a ghost?

That's ridiculous.

Li Chuan suddenly didn't know why he was here, just to stab this miserable old man again? The great sense of absurdity calmed him down.

He went through the things back and forth in his heart, and he had a plan in his heart.

He said, "This is not the place to talk, let's find a quiet place." ”

Refresher should nod yes.

The little official, who had been following them and listening to their orders, immediately went to the inn to find a private room, cleaned it up, and ordered snacks and tea.

Li Chuan looked at the void, pulled Wen Guying aside, and said, "After thinking about it, I think it's better to be cautious in this matter." ”

Hui Ying asked: "Brother Li, what do you think should be done?" ”

Li Chuan said: "The strange ghost occupies the body of a village of people, it must be very large, and it is not accurately counted in what year it started and how many people it occupied. Although your senior brother has killed all the people in a village, he may not have escaped the net. And I, although I occupy the name of the successor of the "Tattoo Sutra", I have not been in contact with the "Tattoo Sutra" for less than a year, and my conclusion may not be accurate. ”

"Brother Li has a point."

"Daoist Wen is the senior brother of the Four Divine Palaces, I naturally believe what you say," and then Li Chuan said his plan: "I am now the official of Qin Tianjiao, in my opinion, since this case is related to the mysterious art of strange ghosts, and the suspect is a monk, then why don't you let Qin Tianjian be responsible for this case?" ”

"Brother Li, are you going to be in charge of this case?" Wen Guying saw Li Chuan's thoughts.

"I don't have much experience, so I guess I can't be responsible, but Qintian Prison is full of talents, and there should be someone who can resist this matter," Li Chuan's thinking became clearer and clearer, "The matter of strange ghosts is very important, and I don't know how long they have been secretly plotting, how big the plan is, it just so happens that there is no one in Xuanshui Mountain in Xuanmen now?" Why don't you ask a few more monks who are good at soul art to help? ”

"The reason why I couldn't find the anomaly of the strange ghost before was because your junior brother had concealed too much information, which caused them to investigate in the wrong direction, but now that you have a full understanding, you may be able to discover the truth if you go to investigate again."

"And it was all your brother's personal behavior before. The matter of strange ghosts is very important, and it may affect the Xuanmen and even the fairy world, so we can invite more authoritative monks to investigate. ”

Listening to Li Chuan's strange ghost matter, Wen Jiuying couldn't help laughing, "Brother Li is meticulous, admire and admire, then do as you say." Qin Tianjian, are you going to contact him? I'm looking for someone over there? ”

Wen Guying agreed, which made Li Chuan breathe a sigh of relief and a little surprised.

Then he asked, "Daoist Wen, do you know where the door of Qin Tianjian opens?" ”

"Due East."

"Then trouble Daoist Wen to make one more trip, go to Qin Tianjian and ask Miss Zhu if she is free."

After laughing again, he responded.

Li Chuan's idea is very simple, he must not go to see if there is a problem with this Pan Ma today.

His current understanding of the "Book of Tattoos" is vague and purely lucky, and it is good that he didn't see the abnormality at that time, but if he wants to see the abnormality, whether the abnormality is really abnormal, or the abnormality that should have been made by some spell, he will definitely not be able to distinguish it.

Then you can only expand this matter, and you have to grasp the initiative in your own hands, and you can't be led away by the old people, so you can take out the identity that you just got in your hands and talk about it, and involve more people who come and go.

Zhu Qingyun's more sincere temperament will definitely not be fake.

At that time, if Pan's mother is okay, then Guan Zhongqiu will be charged with death, and no one will be able to save him in the spring. If there is a problem, there is great strength in numbers, and if you solve this problem together, the merit is immeasurable.

He should ask the servants to inform the caravan that they still need to stay here for some time, and let them not worry about the cost, and arrange a place for Pan's grandmother and grandson.

Then they went into the private room together.

When the child woke up, Pan's mother broke the snacks on the table to feed her, and when she saw them come in, she stood up uneasily and almost knocked over the cup.

Li Chuan hurriedly sat her down and said, "Mother Pan, we are just here to ask a few words, do you know the murderer?" ”

Pan's mother opened her mouth, with an expression that she wanted to cry but couldn't cry, "I recognize, is it because of me that this disaster has been caused?" ”
