Chapter Thirty-Seven: A City-wide Search

Han Yu was surprised, Lao Dao was obviously trapped by an immortal method.

When he saw that the city lord was also careful, the expression on Han Yu's face became extremely serious, and he walked to the corner and was silent.

Lord Dai and the other three adults arrived one after another, and there were standing outside the door from the bed, brothel, and restaurant to catch fast, this midnight everyone was not happy, and there were a few familiar catchers who complained quietly.

Lord Yan of Xicheng was full of alcohol, and when he came to the City Lord's Mansion, his mind was a little unclear, and when he saw that Lao Dao was trapped in the formation, he said without thinking: "Hey, how is this Lao Dao in the Eight Shells of the King?"

This spell can only trap people but not sleepy sound, the old Dao in the formation turned pale when he heard it, Ouyang City Lord glared at Lord Yan viciously, and was about to say a few good words to appease, but the old Dao had words in his mouth.

After a moment's effort, a green wind blade appeared in Lao Dao's hand, Lao Dao snorted coldly, and the wind blade slashed towards the shield!

The shield shook for a moment, but it didn't break, and the magic in Lao Dao Ze's mouth didn't stop, and several wind blades slashed over, slashing the shield again and again, and the pale yellow light of the shield also became dim.

With a buzzing sound, the shield was shattered by the wind blade, and the old path once again condensed a wind blade and slashed towards Lord Yan.

"The road is long and slow!" The old city lord was in a hurry, and before the words fell, the wind blade came instantly, and the drunken Lord Yan's reaction speed slowed down, and the five fingers of his right hand were all cut off!

"Ahh

"Hmph! An ordinary man dares to laugh at the old man! Just a little punishment, if there is a next time, he will not be spared!" The old man saw that the man had kowtowed and begged for mercy, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little, "How can a mere dungeon technique trap the old man, ridiculous!"

When Lord Yan heard this, he kowtowed again and again, and then he got up with a pale face, and he didn't dare to pick up a few severed fingers on the ground, obviously frightened.

It's not just him, the two envoys and Lord Shangguan Dai who were present were all suppressed by this hand, it is said that there are immortals in this world, and now it is true when I see it!

Ouyang City Lord had seen this old spell, and he only hated that he didn't have an immortal root, while Han Yu on the side lowered his head, his eyes were full of surprise, he also had this wind blade spell, as long as he broke through the fourth layer of qi refining, he could cultivate this magical power!

Seeing the frightened look on the mortal's face, the trace of unhappiness in Lao Dao's heart also dissipated, only to see him glance at everyone: "Gather you to do something! A snitch has come to my residence and stole a treasure, as long as this person can be arrested, I will reward a flame charm!"

This old man has lived for so long, of course, he knows that he is both encouraged, but I saw him take out a red talisman from his arms and smash it towards a small tree with a wave of his hand.

"Boom!"

With a loud bang, the little tree burst into flames, and in a few moments, the little tree had turned into charcoal!

The five people present were stunned, and everyone's eyes showed longing!

"Ahem, okay!" Of course, the Ouyang City Lord's eyes were also hot, and he only heard her say: "If you have any ideas, just say it, you must find the murderer as soon as possible." ”

With the reward of this talisman, the enthusiasm of several people present was mobilized, and they only heard Lord Dai say: "Immortal Master, what are the characteristics of that person?"

"Dressed in black, no more than thirty years old, he ate a wind blade from me, and now he is not dead but seriously injured. Lao Dao raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

A piece of talisman paper on his body spontaneously combusted for no reason, and the old Taoist knew that the situation was not good, so he hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion and bumped into Qin Feng head-on.

Seeing that this old Taoist ran into Qin Feng, he thought it was a giant thief, and threw a talisman at him, but he didn't expect the thief to avoid it dexterously.

The thief dodged the blow and threw a few talismans directly, and a dense number of water arrows appeared out of thin air and shot at Lao Dao.

Lao Dao could only take out an ice wall technique to resist, and that person didn't love to fight, he just wanted to escape, so Lao Dao used the ice wall to block the dense water arrows, forcibly drove the mana to condense three wind blades, and threw them at this person.

Although the man's body was dexterous, he couldn't dodge the three wind blades, and was finally injured by one wind blade.

This talisman does not have the slightest attack power, but the protection is extremely tough, and the old Taoist has exhausted his mana to attack this shield before everyone comes, and he will be so angry when he hears Lord Yan's words.

"Since this person is injured, then follow the bloodstains to find it!" said Master Dai with great joy when he heard this, without thinking.

Han Yu sneered in his heart, this Lord Dai is quite smooth as an official, and the level of this case handling is a little poor, if it is really so simple, still use them to go out?

Sure enough, before the words fell, Ouyang City Lord said lightly: "Don't bother Lord Dai, I have already sent the shadow guard to chase and kill, there is only a little blood stain on the wall here, and there is no trace within a radius of three miles." ”

Lord Dai stepped aside with some embarrassment, and Master Pan spoke: "This person is injured, we only need to control the pharmacy in the city to find his whereabouts." ”

This Lord Pan's proposal was also pertinent, but Lord Song on the side retorted: "This person is not an idle person to avoid the pursuit of the shadow guards, he should send a good hand to secretly search in the city and find clues to capture!"

"Alas, Lord Song's words are wrong..."

"If you want me to say ....."

Several people argued, and after arguing for a long time but there was no result, the City Lord's Mansion was also a little irritated when he heard a few people arguing, and when he saw Han Yu bowing his head and being silent, he asked, "What is Lord Han's idea?"

"I have an idea, but it's a bit of a waste of money. Han Yu said with some hesitation.

"Master Han said, everyone discussed. Ouyang City Lord really didn't want to listen to a few people's nonsense, and said a little irritably.

Xia Guan listened to the thoughts of several colleagues and brainstormed a few tricks. We have four cities in Jian'an, and my idea is that Xia Guan and his three colleagues are in charge of their respective jurisdictions, and they search from house to house, and only those who are injured are all arrested and put in prison for the immortal master to identify. ”

"What the hell is this idea, going from house to house, won't that thief run away?"

"Lord Han, isn't this called labor and money, do you want to make Jian'an chickens and dogs restless?"

“......”

Before they finished speaking, a few people retorted, Ouyang City Lord and the old Dao were a little interested, and Ouyang City Lord said, "You continue!"

"Of course the lower officials know that this thief will run, so send out a catcher to post a notice, so that the residents of the city will stay at home tomorrow and not go out, if anyone disobeys, they will also enter the yamen, and the dungeon in the south of my city can be vacant!"

"Second, please ask the shadow guard to search Midtown, and the mansions of your lords will also send someone to investigate. Send elite soldiers to garrison the city gate to prevent the thief from escaping over the wall. In addition, please send your subordinates to the major pharmacies, and if there is a medical visit, send someone to follow. ”

"Third, let the people in the city actively report and use heavy money to reward them! The lower officials can think of these for the time being, and if there is any deficiency, please ask the city lord to remedy it. ”

After Han Yu finished speaking, he stood aside, and the old man nodded approvingly: "Very good, presumably that thief can't fly out of this net." Lord Han, if you catch a thief, then the flame talisman will reward you!"

"The lower officials don't dare! Everything below is given by the city lord, if the thief is really caught, the flame talisman should also belong to the city lord!"

Han Yu immediately expressed his position, and the three of them secretly scolded this person in their hearts that it was really disgusting, but Ouyang City Lord had a smile on his face.

"Very good, Lord Han, I will leave this matter to you to take full responsibility!" said Ouyang City Lord with a smile.

Lord Dai's face became extremely ugly in an instant, and Han Yu said with a smile: "Immortal Master, Lord City Lord, the lower officials are only shallow in their studies, and they can't take responsibility for this important matter, so I think it's most appropriate for Lord Dai to be in charge at this time." In Xiazidang, take the catcher to the south of the city to search, as long as the thief is in the south of the city, he will definitely be found out in the next place!"

With these words, Lord Dai's face instantly looked much better, and he glanced at Han Yu with appreciation, and the Ouyang City Lord pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Hoopoe, you are in charge of this matter." ”

Lord Dai was overjoyed when he heard this, and promised again and again that the thief would be arrested, and the city lord Ouyang and the old man nodded, signaling that they would do it overnight.

The five people came to the door, and Lord Dai assigned it in an orderly manner, but when he was assigned to Han Yu, the task was very easy, and only let him be in charge of the affairs of Nancheng.

The other three adults have more or less been given additional tasks, and it seems that they can't sleep today, so Han Yu received the order and ordered him to take the helpers and start blocking the streets and alleys in the south of the city.

And he himself went to the South City Gate, Mei said that he personally sat and guarded, but in fact he went to sleep, if he was discovered, who would dare to say that he was not loyal to his duty?

At dawn the next day, Han Yumei stretched her waist. Today, the soldiers guarding the city gate have already received orders not to open the city gate.

Standing on the city wall and looking down, the catchers were busy, and the inhabitants of the city were making a big fuss, and when the catchers sent a few of the most troublesome to the dungeon, the people became obedient and stayed at home and did not dare to go out.

Since last night, the arrest has been conducting door-to-door searches, and as long as there are injuries, all of them will be sent to prison. But there were so many inhabitants in the city that even if they didn't sleep, they would have to search for three or five days.

Han Yu casually ate a few bites and joined the inspection. It's stupid not to catch this kind of good thing that can please your superiors with a little effort, and if the city lord comes to inspect and sees such a loyal Lord Han, he will leave an impression somewhat.

During this night's inspection, the catchers were also emaciated, and when they saw Han Yu coming, a familiar catcher complained: "Lord Han, when is this search a head?"

"If you are tired, take off this layer of skin and go home, I don't care what you do on weekdays, but this matter is the order of the city lord, if you don't do it, I will be dismissed! But before I was dismissed, none of you had good fruit to eat!"

After Han Yu finished saying this, he brushed his sleeves away, and a group of catchers looked at each other, the first time he saw Lord Han say such a thing, an old catcher sighed and said: "Everyone hurry up and don't be lazy, this city lord's mansion is a death order for adults, and what Lord Han said is also reasonable, if Shangguan is unlucky, we will also suffer!"

The hunters under his subordinates cheered up, and Han Yu himself led a team of hunters to search from house to house, and they were busy until the sun hung high above their heads and there was no whereabouts of the thief.

Of course, Han Yu will not be hungry for his subordinates, and he has already arranged for the restaurant to cook the food and send it over, if he can't sleep well and can't eat enough, then his subordinates will be very angry.

After eating and drinking, Han Yu ordered the catchers to rest in place for half an hour to continue the search, while he sat in a restaurant and ordered four exquisite side dishes, eating and drinking happily.

In the afternoon, Han Yu was searching for a large family, and the old city lord really took the old Taoist to supervise, and the old Tao's face was pale, and he seemed to be in a very bad mood.

Ouyang City Lord gave a few words of encouragement, the search in the south of the city was the fastest and most complete, and Han Yu was also really hardworking, as for the source of this news, of course, it was some of Han Yu's subordinates.

The search lasted until the evening, and Han Yu came to the alley with a team of catchers. Seeing this alley, Han Yu was slightly distracted, this was Qin Feng's old mansion, Han Yu secretly guessed in his heart, could it be the real Qin Feng who went to the City Lord's Mansion?

After collecting a few, Han Yu pushed open the gate and keenly noticed that there was a shallow handprint on the gate, but he looked as usual and asked the catcher to go and search the courtyard.
