Chapter 35: Rumors

An old man in a gray robe walked out of the soft sedan chair, and I saw him say a few words softly to the city lord and walked towards the head of the person on the ground.

I saw that he picked up the head without care, observed it for a little and put it back in place, returned to the city lord and said: "He was killed by a mortal person, this matter should have nothing to do with the monk, I will go back to the mansion to cultivate first." ”

Saying that, he didn't ask for the city lord's opinion, and the crying heart-rending Bai Yun broke away from Ouyang Cheng and ran over, blessed with red eyes, and said hoarsely: "Lord Immortal, my cousin was definitely not killed by worldly people. ”

The old man was a little impatient, and just wanted to go back to the soft sedan chair, but Yunbai's words made him cautious.

"What? is he a registered disciple of my Qingyun Sect?" the old man asked, staring at Yun Bai with a pair of eyes, wanting to confirm the truth of this sentence.

Yun Bai nodded under the pressure of the old Dao, the old Dao was having a headache, Yun Bai continued: "This immortal master, can you take a step to speak?"

Lao Dao nodded, and the two walked to the corner and muttered a few words.

After listening to this, Lao Dao was overjoyed, and his face was full of excitement.

Yunbai's face was full of tears, and it looked so poignant that the pear blossoms brought rain.

But Han Yu couldn't help lowering her head, although this girl is a mortal, she is very smart and smart.

The old man explained a few words, and asked everyone, including the city lord, to stay where he was and wait, and he returned to the city lord's mansion and said that he had taken a magic weapon.

Han Yu was a little flustered in his heart, but he was still chatting and laughing with a group of colleagues on his face, and many people surveyed the scene, and Lord Dai was reporting to the city lord.

"Tell the lord of the city that the time of this person's death should be a long knife used by the murderer. The murderer should be a master of light skills, and no abnormalities were found in all the arrests yesterday, this person has a cautious personality and left no obvious clues at the scene. Due to the negligence of the officers and soldiers defending the city, it is very likely that the murderer has fled...."

Lord Dai reported the current situation to the city lord, and the city lord's face was a little gloomy when he heard it. Relying on these clues to find the murderer is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

Seeing the city lord's gloomy face, everyone lowered their heads and did not squeak, for fear of setting themselves on fire, but the city lord did not have the idea of embarrassing the crowd and paced back and forth.

After a while, the old man rode a fast horse to the gate of the city, and an extra compass-shaped artifact appeared in his hand.

Han Yu couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, could it be that there really is a ghost in this world, using this compass to summon the soul of the deceased and identify the murderer?

Han Yu suddenly felt cold all over, and saw that the old Dao did not go to the head, but gave a few words to the city lord, and the city lord nodded after hearing this, and sent any down.

Lord Na Dai gathered the four of his subordinates together and assigned the task: "Lord Pan, you send a few capable subordinates to follow the Dao Chief, Lord Song, you seal this head well, you must not make a mistake, Lao Yan, you must track down the clues within three days! Lord Han, you come with me!"

Han Yu felt a little strange, but when he came to the wall, Lord Dai put on a smiling face: "Lord Han, I heard that you will be transferred recently?"

"Lord Dai, in the near future, I will go to the ore vein with Ouyang Gongzi to stay for a period of time. Han Yu was a little puzzled by his thoughts, so he took over the conversation.

The smile on Master Dai's face became even worse when he heard this, and he patted Han Yu's shoulder cordially: "Brother Han, you don't know when you will return from the city, how about I recommend one person to the south of the city for the time being?"

Han Yu had already guessed what he said when he heard Brother Han, and he sneered in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Lord Dai, this matter has nothing to do with the lower officials, you have to ask the opinion of the city lord." ”

He won't be fooled stupidly, and the hearts of these officials are as black as ink. As long as Han Yu nodded, Lord Dai would definitely publicize the whole world that it was recommended by Han Yu, and when the time came, he would be dumb and eat Yellow Lotus, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.

This Lord Dai thought that Han Yu would be fooled, but he didn't expect it to be this set of rhetoric, and immediately said stupidly: "Then I'll find an opportunity to ask the city lord's opinion." ”

This Lord Dai thought that Han Yu was a fledgling boy, but he didn't expect this person to speak and do things without leakage, and he became an old fritter in officialdom at a young age.

Han Yu saw that there was no errand arranged, so he took his subordinates out of the yamen. Summoned the catcher to ask some clues about the fire in Wang's house, and then asked the catcher to patrol the streets.

He was very curious about the whereabouts of the old way, but on the surface he looked indifferent, and went into the chamber as usual.

At this time, whether it was practicing martial arts or reading books, he was in no mood, and he couldn't go to investigate and arouse suspicion, so after thinking about it, Han Yu decided to sleep.

Lying on the bed, all kinds of thoughts were still circling in his mind, and he didn't fall asleep for half an hour when he closed his eyes, Han Yu comforted himself like this: Anyway, he will die if he dies, and he is very afraid!

Using this thought to comfort himself, Han Yu fell asleep in a daze, and he didn't know how long it took, but he vaguely heard someone pushing the door.

"Who!" Han Yu instantly became alert.

Seeing Han Yu's face full of vigilance, he quickly lowered his head and said, "My lord, I just shouted for a long time, and you didn't hear it..."

"Okay, okay..."Seeing that it was a small catch, Han Yu impatiently interrupted this person's defense: "What's the matter?"

"My lord, it's time for lunch!" said Xiao Yukuai.

When Han Yu heard this, he hurriedly opened the window, and a beam of sunlight shone on his face, it was already past noon, Han Yu waved his hand to let Xiao Yu go first, and rubbed his face vigorously.

After putting on the official uniform, Han Yu went to eat first and came to the back hall, and asked a familiar catcher: "Is there any eyebrows about Xicheng?"

"Lord Han!" Na Catcher immediately envied: "I have found the scene of the crime, that old fairy is really magical!"

"Oh?" Han Yu poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip: "Tell the official in detail." ”

"The old fairy is really magical, holding a compass in his hand and wandering around the city, until he found a house in Xicheng, saying that it was the scene of the crime, and I heard that the old fairy also got a treasure from under the water tank!"

The eyebrows of the quick catcher danced, and Han Yu was slightly relieved when he heard this, and he dealt with some official affairs and thought about the next plan of action.

The Spirit Eye Spring Old Dao had already arrived, and now it should still be wandering around, wanting to get Yun Jianbai's storage bag, Han Yu had already thought of an idea.

At sunset, the restaurants and brothels in the city began to slowly become lively, and the head case that happened today naturally became a new thing in the mouths of the people.

I don't know who said that the old fairy got a treasure. Some people also painted the appearance of the baby, which is a shallow spiritual spring, as long as you can drink a sip, you can live forever!

The rumors spread more and more, and word of mouth spread throughout the city at noon on the second day. The old man of the City Lord's Mansion was furious when he heard this!

He naturally suspected that the few people who accompanied him yesterday were arrested, and on the second day, he directly arrested those people into the City Lord's Mansion and tortured them.

As the saying goes, if you can block the bursting embankment, you can't stop this mouth, this news is already known all over the city, can you kill the whole city in order to keep it a secret?

The old way was angry, but to no avail, the appearance of the baby was rumored to be strange, and the medicinal power was exaggerated countless times, and the ignorant people said that there were all those who soared day by day.

In the famous old Xian restaurant in Jian'an City, a group of diners are whispering about the major events that happened a few days ago, and someone is sitting there drinking stuffy wine sitting by the window.

"Brother Zhu, I heard that the old immortal got a piece of jade..."

"My cousin is on an errand, so can the news be fake? That baby is shaped like a stone carving."

"Come on, Brother Shen, tell us about it, let us have a long experience!"

"I told you not to spread the word, someone has already been arrested and sent to prison! The top of that treasure is a black mountain rock, and there is a spiritual spring below, and I don't know what strange there is about that treasure, no matter how much water flies into the pool above, that treasure will not increase or decrease..."

“......”

The young man sitting in the corner pricked up his ears, and when he heard the baby's detailed description, there was a murderous intent in his eyes, and soon he gulped down the food and drink, threw a piece of silver on the table and left.

This person is Qin Feng, who has just returned to Jian'an, as soon as he enters the city gate, he hears countless rumors, a head hangs on the Yanyang Tower, and an old Taoist gets a mysterious treasure.

After Qin Feng learned the news, he quietly sneaked into the yamen in the east of the city, confirmed the identity of the enemy, and heard the appearance of the treasure, Qin Feng knew that the Spring of the Spirit Eye had fallen into the hands of the old Dao of the City Lord's Mansion.

Qin Feng used that rune treasure, but after all, he was only refining the third layer of qi, and forcibly driving the rune treasure also hurt his vitality.

Now that the person who attacked the attack is dead, and the loyal servant and old woman have also encountered an accident, he is the only one left in this Jian'an City.

I planned to go back to the Wang family to settle down temporarily, but the Wang family suffered a fire and was stolen property, and now his vitality is greatly damaged, and the Wang family does not accept him for the time being.

Qin Feng could only find an inn to settle down in, and he had learned that the Spring of the Spirit Eye had fallen into the City Lord's Mansion, and he wanted to find an idea to get back what belonged to him!

And in the restaurant not far away, Han Yu was changing glasses with a strong man, the two of them were eating donkey meat, eating good wine, and eating delicious food, Han Yu took out the book "True Yang Gong" from his arms and handed it to Zhang Minggui, who was eating and drinking.

Zhang Minggui has also read a lot of books in recent years, learned a lot of words, and also knows the rarity of martial arts.

"You are my brother, take it first, you are born with divine power, and it matches this internal strength!" Han Yu said with a pretended dissatisfaction.

Han Yu knew that those who mixed the rivers and lakes must not eat alone, eat meat by themselves, and drink some soup from their subordinates, so that their subordinates can be loyal. I didn't take out this classic before because the Wang family had not yet declined, and now that it has hurt its vitality, Han Yu certainly has no scruples.

"You did a very good job this time!" Han Yu saw Zhang Minggui happily accept the cash ticket and praised.

Zhang Minggui filled Han Yu with a glass of wine, took a sip and said, "This is all arranged by the eldest brother!"

It turned out that in the evening of that day, Han Yu handed over the few pages he had written to Zhang Minggui, and asked him to find a few clever brothers to spread the news.

In the past few days, Han Yu didn't even dare to cultivate, and he was even very alert when he slept, for fear that something would happen.

But seeing that the city lord's mansion only arrested a few quick arrests, and arrested some people, it means that there is no clue about this matter, and he can only vent his anger with the people.

In the middle of the night, Han Yu opened his eyes and waited silently for half an hour, but there was no movement around him at all, and then Han Yu pressed the mechanism.

Coming to the secret room, Han Yu jumped out of bed, took out Yun Jianbai's storage bag, took a deep breath and probed the spiritual power inside.
