"The bell must be tied to the bell, so naturally we have to go to those victims, who must know more information. ”

The other four looked at each other, all a little surprised.

Wang Banxian scratched his head and said, "This is not good, I only fought with them last night, and they may not be willing to believe us anymore." ”

Ying Wuxin smiled and said: "Tell us, they still have a glimmer of life, and they have been wronged, if they don't tell us, they will continue to work hard like this, how do you think they will choose?"

......

"We chose to beat you up first. On the water surface of the hive, the monster with the appearance of a strong man roared angrily, "You wounded hundreds of us last night, and killed dozens of our companions. ”

"It's a demon, and now you're not human. Ying Wuxin added.

There was an angry commotion among the demons on the surface of the hive, but there was no riot after all.

"Think clearly before you speak, there is only one chance, you should know very well that if it weren't for the honest and kind Daoist like us, the other Daoists would have taken Yujin's money and left quietly, and they would definitely not get involved in your affairs here. ”

Ying Wuxin said seriously: "We are here to take a huge risk, because not only does Yu Jin not want us to know the truth, but there are more powerful people hiding behind, and the people sent by the court to investigate have been killed, how big the risk is, you should know very well, so think about it and talk about it." ”

The demon soul with the appearance of a strong man was silent for a while, obviously he also thought of this, so he was very angry just now, and he only yelled a few times, and did not really do it, because he knew very well in his heart that there was indeed only one chance, and once he missed it, they would not want to have a second chance in the future.

In that case, the fate that awaits them will be endlessly miserable.

"We said, will you definitely help us find out the truth?" the strong man hesitated.

"I will get close to the full force, not only will I investigate the truth, but I will also bring the murderer to justice. Li Zhengdao said solemnly.

He is dressed in white like snow, with a flat head and a straight face, and his eyebrows are clear, with a righteous demeanor, and what he says is naturally easier for people to believe.

Even the demon souls, strong men and others believed seven or eight points, nodded and said, "Okay, we'll tell you everything you know." ”

The strong man's name is Liu Qijin, this is a very common name, people in the countryside have no culture, and the name is generally the surname plus the ranking of the family, or the weight at birth, or a certain feature of the body when he was a child.

Liu Qijin is because he was born heavier, a full seven pounds, which is very rare in the general poor living conditions in the countryside, so his parents gave him such a name, which is quite show-off.

Liu Qijin grew up stronger than the average person, and his strength was relatively large, and when he grew up, he gradually gained prestige in the village, and then he simply became a foreman, taking the villagers to work in various places, and later his family suffered from floods and had to become a homeless person.

The attitude of the Jin State towards the displaced people was relatively mild, so it was still feasible for the displaced people to do other work except for not being able to go to the city to serve as soldiers and farm fields.

Liu Qijin has experience as a foreman since he was a child, and he has become the boss among the homeless people, responsible for finding people to take on various projects, and has also made a lot of achievements.

Later, Yu Jin found Liu Qijin and discussed the matter of building Heti.

The construction of the river was originally the responsibility of the local officials, but it was not easy to levy and issue conscription, many people had money and did not want to put that effort, and they were not willing to bear the risk of being washed away by the water, so Yu Jin became the middleman, responsible for collecting the money of the conscripted people, and then assigned the work to the displaced people under Liu Qijin, the amount of work was not large, and thousands of people could complete it, so Liu Qijin did not think much about it, and took it.

In this regard, the government is affirmative, because it has also sent people to encourage the displaced people to work hard.

However, what no one expected was that when Heti was about to be completed, there was a big flood upstream, and Heti collapsed, flooding all the places where the displaced people lived temporarily, and everyone drowned in it.

Ying Wuxin said, "Why do you live under the river and don't choose a high place?" ”

Liu Qijin said: "This is specially requested by Yu Jin, he said that only by putting the family members under the river will we repair the river with our hearts." ”

"Then why didn't you fix Heti?"

"It's repaired, we repair it well, the women and children in the family and the old lady are all below, how can we not repair the river well, once the river is broken, we will run away, but what about the family, we can't run away, we naturally try our best to repair the river very well, at that time, the person in charge of supervising the work of the imperial court was also tested every day, there was no accident. Liu Qijin said impatiently, talking about the past, his face was full of endless grief.

Li Zhengdao wanted to ask something, but he hadn't opened his mouth yet, so he shouldn't have said unintentionally: "When the river collapsed, you all slept underneath, did you feel anything abnormal, such as explosions, vibrations, and the like." ”

Liu Qijin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "No, I slept dead that night and didn't notice anything abnormal." ”

"I have, I have. A young man-like demon spirit next to him said: "I got up in the middle of the night to pee, and I felt that the soil under my feet seemed to shake, and then not long after, Heti collapsed in front of me, and the water rushed over and drowned us all." ”

Ying Wuxin looked at Li Zhengdao and said softly: "It should be a cultivator." ”

"The sturdiness of Heti is not something that an ordinary cultivator can damage, at least it requires the strength of the Dao Sect and the power of the earth element under control, but there are only two Dao Sects in the Jin Kingdom who have the power of the earth element, one is responsible for protecting His Majesty in the palace, and the other is in our Zhengyang Dao Gate, responsible for protecting the sect, these two obviously can't leave, and they are both relatively high positions, and they won't do this kind of thing. Li Zhengdao said solemnly.

"Not necessarily, a three-stage Taoist, if he controls a special earth-style method, can also destroy the river, because he doesn't need to succeed all at once, take your time to become, the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed in the anthill truth, you should have heard of it, as long as he finishes the inspection of the superintendent, and then a little bit of small damage, it will inevitably not be noticed, and these small damages accumulate over time, it will constitute a deep wound, hidden under the river, as long as he tears the wound and connects the water flow outside, the sediment under the river will be washed away by the water, and after a little bit of washing, the river will be empty, and it will become an empty pavilion without a foundationCollapse is inevitable. "There should be no heart.

Liu Qijin looked at Ying Wuxin in surprise, and said: "What this Taoist said is right, we have also built the river before, and there is no such a big project, but when we encounter this situation, there is a problem below, and the water washes away the sand under the river, and the river has no support, so it will naturally collapse." ”

Li Zhengdao's faces changed slightly, and his eyes looked at Ying Wuxin strangely, "You also understand this." ”

"Haha, I just happen to know. ”

"So what we need to find at the moment is simpler, a cultivator mixed in the ranks of laborers, there will always be a side that is out of place, Liu Qijin, have you ever noticed that there are strange people in your team, or other responsible supervisors, inspectors, transporters, and even food delivery people, as long as they feel that something is wrong with him, they will say it. "There should be no heart.

"Those cultivators, who have been destroying the river many times for a long time, must go to the construction site many times, or stay on the construction site for a long time, so that they can have the opportunity to come into contact with the river and do things secretly without anyone knowing. ”

Liu Qijin thought hard, and the other demon souls also thought about it, and after a long time, Liu Qijin said, "If you look at it this way, there was indeed a strange person on the construction site at that time, who was responsible for guarding the river at night, and the others were all in a shift of two, taking turns to watch the night to watch a distance, she guarded a period alone, and never communicated with other people, appeared at night, and disappeared as soon as dawn." ”

"Still a woman. Liu Qijin finally added.

"How do you know?" Ying Wuxin became even more curious.

"At that time, there was a guard who got up in the middle of the night to pee, and when he came back, he fell down from the river in a daze, and it happened to hit the man, and the man let out a woman's scream, and my brother knocked him unconscious, and then we went to check, and found that there was a residue of feces and urine in that place, and I thought that the woman was convenient, and my brother smashed it on her, which frightened her. I went to the supervisor to ask about this, and they said that I don't want to be nosy, this caretaker Heti was originally half of our laborers, half of the government, I thought that there were also women in the government, so I didn't continue to ask, now I think about it, that woman is too suspicious, every time the mysterious appearance of the gods, the mysterious disappearance, the people on the construction site have not seen her appearance, there must be a ghost in the heart. ”

The faces of the five changed again, "It's still a female cultivator." ”

Ying Wuxin chuckled and said, "If it's a woman, it's easier to narrow down the target range." ”

"What if the other party has already left?" Sun Xiaoman said.

"Leave, even if we leave, as long as we know the truth and have evidence, she will not be able to escape this responsibility even if she reaches the ends of the earth, after all, it is a major crime that killed more than 10,000 people, and the three states and five countries in the world will denounce her, as long as we put out a reward, there must be companions who know her information, where else can she run at that time?"

"She is a cultivator, or a woman, her cultivation is not low, she will inevitably get acquainted with a lot of cultivators, her whereabouts when she came to the county last year, someone must know, her strength, she will be related to the soil, and may also be known by friends, we just need to summarize this information, the goal is determined, and it should not be difficult to find her. ”

"Even if you can't find it, once the news spreads, the murderer is finished, and you can only hide in the future, and you will never see the light of day again. ”

"And we can still follow other clues, such as who asked this woman to be the night watchman, someone must have introduced it, someone brought it, so that we can definitely find the mastermind behind it. ”

"Yes, so we can find the truth. Sun Xiaoman said excitedly.

"However, the officials sent by the imperial court have all been blocked, and if we investigate, we will definitely face more dangers, so we must be careful. Bai Miaozhen reminded.

Ying Wuxin smiled and said: "This way, when are we not in danger, when are we careless, this time it is just that the opponent is stronger, and the means may not be very clever, after all, what they plan is only tens of thousands of taels of silver." ”

"However, they killed more than 10,000 of us, and the old people and children did not spare ......," Liu Qijin said angrily.
