Chapter 21: Helping Each Other in the Dark

The two said as they walked, and Xu Xian quickly knew the general situation of the matter.

It turned out that there was a theft case in Qiantang two days ago, and the terrible thing was that the stolen thing was a heavy treasure paid by the small country of the Western Regions, Dabo State, to the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and the loss was a tribute, which was a big deal.

The tribute-giver immediately poked the matter up.

After hearing this, the emperor and officials in Lin'an City thought that it was too embarrassing and must be investigated quickly.

In his own one-acre and three-point land, there was a theft of tribute items, doesn't it mean that the Great Song Kingdom is too weak?

The emperor of the Great Song Dynasty was too weak? Who will still fear the Great Song Dynasty in the future?

Therefore, you must check, check quickly, check to the end, and find out the person who steals the treasure.

So the decree came down with the emperor's order.

The most terrible thing is that there is no county master in Qiantang today, and the matter of receiving the order naturally falls to Li Gongfu, so all the responsibility is pushed to Li Gongfu.

The decree is not easy to receive, and the deadline is given.

The stolen tribute could not be found within three days, so he came to see him.

It's damning.

This is the will of coming down from the capital, it is the emperor's order, and the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, and there is no way to hide.

Li Gongfu cried with a sad face, and he could only bite the bullet and continue.

I can't help but take it, it annoyed the emperor, not to mention the three-day deadline, and it was cut by the person who sent the decree at that time.

"What kind of treasure is it that you lost? The emperor is too serious, right?"

Li Gongfu grabbed Xu Xian and said softly: "Don't talk nonsense, what emperor Lao'er? ”

Looking around, seeing that no one was paying attention to them, Li Gongfu breathed a long sigh of relief.

"What I lost was a jade gourd, which was obtained from a mountain, three inches high, and ordinary people wore it on their bodies, so that they would not get sick and prolong their lives, that is, the legendary cultivators wore it on their bodies, and it also had a great effect, which could make the speed of cultivation faster, and they were robbed several times along the way, and they were all repulsed, and this time they were not so lucky, and they were still snatched away. ”

"The most hateful thing is that he actually robbed things in the Qiantang territory, isn't this harming me?" Li Gongfu said indignantly.

Xu Xian frowned and said, "It was snatched away, doesn't anyone remember the appearance of the robber?"

Li Gongfu was immediately angry when he heard this, and scolded: "This gang of barbarians is just looking for a step down, not robbed at all, but stolen, I don't know when it was stolen, but these guys said that they were still there before they came to Qiantang, and after staying in Qiantang for one night, the jade gourd was gone, and they were really angry." ”

Xu Xian's brows furrowed even tighter, he had often watched Qiantang in the past few days, and he had not found powerful monks and monsters sneaking in.

Ordinary people are not strong, and it is impossible to steal the jade gourd from the people who pay tribute.

With the understanding of this world, Xu Xian already knew that this was not the Great Song Dynasty in history textbooks, but the Great Song Dynasty in the world of cultivating immortals.

Although this Da Song also has a name that he is familiar with, this person is not the other person.

In the exchanges between countries, it is not only the civilian officials who are powerless to send chickens, but also the monks with high mana power in the missions to ensure the safety of the missions.

"To be able to steal the jade gourd from the mission silently, either this person's strength is strong enough, or he has an internal response, but why do you want to do it here? If there is such a cultivation, do you still need the treasure jade gourd?"

Xu Xian's mind spun quickly, but he couldn't think of a reason.

"The technique of heavenly machine deduction, next you must understand some magical secret techniques about heavenly machine deduction, and you won't be so passive when you encounter this kind of thing. ”

Xu Xian felt that his brain hurt, this kind of case, if there is a master who deduces the changes of the heavens, it is not a matter at all.

It's a pity that in addition to some flying sword techniques and talisman techniques, the others haven't had time to comprehend.

Xu Xian felt more and more the preciousness of time.

It has only been a few months since he was reborn as Xu Immortal, no matter how talented he is, what can he cultivate?

Immortal cultivators can calculate time in units of ten, hundred, and thousand years.

"There is an endless treasure mountain, but there is no time to take out the treasure. Xu Xian had a feeling of helplessness.

"If the white snake enters the door, it will be easy to do, as long as the idea lets her know about it, she will definitely secretly take action to help solve it, but unfortunately I haven't told my sister yet. ”

"But it is essential to be strong yourself, and then focus on the technique of heavenly deduction, the deduction ability is strong, and you can also get twice the result with half the effort by consulting other magical powers. ”

Xu Xian secretly made up his mind, and when this matter was over, he would make it clear to Xu Jiaorong, take the white snake into the door first, and then delve into the art of deduction.

Yunlai Inn.

The inn where the delegation of the Western Regions Dabo Kingdom stayed.

At this time, the people of the mission were all anxious like ants on a hot pot.

They came here to bear an important responsibility, but before they met the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the tribute was stolen by people and gods without realizing it, how did they go to see the emperor? How to complete the mission?

"Who's the boss? Tell me about the situation. ”

This was the first time Li Gongfu had met with a foreign mission, and it was also the first time he had taken on such a large and difficult case.

He is just a rough man, he doesn't understand the etiquette of the two countries, and only he can do it when he comes up and let the head of the family talk.

An obese man wearing a melon skin hat came out panting, glanced at Li Gongfu with an anxious face, and said, "I have seen the Lord of the Celestial Empire, and the small one is the head of the Dabo Kingdom Mission." ”

"Bobo'er......, huh? Ahem, ahem, tell me about the situation before and after. ”

Li Gongfu coughed a few times and almost said the word Lao Tzu.

Xu Xian's face was tense, and he couldn't help but laugh.

"My lord, we came to Qiantang five days ago, and directly checked into the Yunlai Inn, and came to the Great Song Dynasty, and saw such a prosperous and prosperous world, so we wanted to play here for a few days before leaving, who knew that something would happen. ”

"Two days ago, we were about to leave for Lin'an City to give the treasures to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, just in case, we opened the box containing the treasures and checked them, and found that they were gone. ”

"We immediately sent someone to contact my envoy who was resident in Lin'an City, and asked him to tell the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty about this immediately, so as not to accuse us of being contemptuous. ”

Xu Xian frowned, and said secretly: "This kind of thing can't be the brother-in-law's turn anyway, the capital should send someone to deal with it directly, the emperor is in a hurry, why are the people below so lazy?"

"Yes, it is precisely because the emperor is in a hurry that no one dares to take over this case easily, if it is done well, it will naturally be a great achievement, if it is not done well, it is a big crime to kill the head, and no one wants to risk being beheaded to compete for this merit that may not be possible. ”

"Brother-in-law is too unlucky, this kind of thing can happen. ”

Li Gongfu attached to Xu Xian's ear and whispered: "Hanwen, do you have anything else to ask? I feel that this matter has something to do with demons and monsters? I can't get this case, you have arrested the demon monk Wang Jin, you must help your brother-in-law this time." ”

Xu Xian nodded and said, "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will do my best." ”

"Who is the best man in your mission? Let him come out. Xu Xian's expression was grim.

If the master of the protection mission cultivates extremely high, this person will be the most suspicious.

"The small one is called Buck Mountain, and the small one is carried with us all the way to protect it, and when we rest, we will put the box in a place where everyone can see it, and take turns guarding it. ”

A man in his mid-fifties, with gray hair, a ruddy complexion, and a gleam in his eyes, hurried over.

He nodded at Li Gongfu and Xu Xian, with a hint of trepidation in his eyes.

Seeing this person, Xu Xian knew that he was thinking too much, because it couldn't be this person's hand.

Although this person embarked on the path of cultivating immortals and stepped into the fifth layer of the Qi Refining Period, in Xu Xian's opinion, his strength was too weak.

A person of this strength, he can solve it with a sword.

If it is said that this person stole it in Qiantang, and hid it without revealing any traces, and then find a chance to take it away in the future, the risk is too great and unrealistic.

Xu Xian's mind spun quickly, and suddenly, a lot of TV series and novels about criminal investigation and solving cases that he had watched in his previous life appeared in his mind.

"Although these TV series are not necessarily true, they should still be useful if they are used for reference. ”

"Ordinary people will leave clues when they commit crimes, won't cultivators be? Impossible, there is cause and effect between everything, as long as you do it, you will definitely leave clues, unless the other party's strength is too strong and exceeds me too much, otherwise, it is impossible not to leave any traces, Bao Zheng interrogated Yin Si day and day, can't I still solve a small theft case?"

Xu Xian secretly clenched his fists, and secretly said that he would definitely be able to find clues and traces related to the theft of the jade gourd.
