"What!" Tang Thorn shouted, and his face became heavy.

The originally cheerful atmosphere also died, "What about the patrols, what is the use of them! Feast! Deliberations of the Government Affairs Hall!" Tang Thorn waved his hand and left with a gloomy and angry face.

Everyone's complexion changed slightly, but they never sighed and complained, they naturally understood the character of their city lord, no one dared to touch this brow, besides, human life is at stake, the murderer has not yet been punished, how dare to have fun?

Everyone followed behind Tang Thorn, one or two together, expressing their opinions on the matter.

Bai Yunqing's head was a little dizzy, and he was supported by Tang Yuan and followed behind everyone.

However, he quickly came to his senses and forced the wine out of his body with his true qi.

Tang Yuan looked worried and pondered.

"A few days ago, Longma County sent a letter saying that the murderer was missing his whereabouts in Shuijing Village, and it has only been a few days, and he has made a comeback! Last time, he was allowed to get away with it! What is the use of you!" Tang Jian sat on the chair in the upper hall, patted the case board in front of him, and roared angrily, "Severely punish the soldiers who patrol today! Fifty boards each! The patrol captain will be dismissed from his post for two months!"

Everyone has different faces, but they have different ideas, some are smiling, some are embarrassed, and some don't care, of course they understand that this matter is involved, and I am afraid that the sky of the City Lord's Mansion will change.

"Why! Isn't there a long time ago that someone should have asked for their lives? Why are they all dumb today!" Tang Thorn got up in a deep voice and pointed at the people in the hall and scolded.

"The city lord is angry, it's not that we have no one to ask for help, it's just that there is no clue about this matter, and there are a lot of constraints in the investigation, so I am really helpless" A middle-aged man who looked like a literati stood out from the hall, stroking his short beard, and his words were full of helplessness.

It seemed to tell Tang Thorn that this was not my ability, and there was nothing I could do even if I asked for my life.

"That's exactly the truth, city lord, think back to the day when the murder first occurred, all the soldiers in our army surrounded the place where the incident occurred, and searched all the streets inside and outside the crime, not only did they gain nothing, but they didn't even have a clue, only that the deceased died a tragic death, and became a dry corpse, and nothing else was known!" Another big man in military uniform stood up, his voice was like a bell, and the voice reached the ears of everyone present, and everyone echoed and nodded yes.

"That's right, city lord, this matter is no longer in my ability, I'm afraid it's evil."

"That's right, I'm afraid that there is an evil in Chunqiu City, so it's better to invite the immortal family to come."

"Yes, yes......"

"That's enough!" Tang Thorn opened his eyes like a tiger, swept over the people in the hall, and there was nowhere to vent a ignorant karmic fire in his chest, and he glared at everyone fiercely, "Alas!" shook his head and sat down.

"Father, I'm afraid this matter is not so simple, I'm afraid it's not my ordinary thief's doing" Tang Yuan slowly approached Tang Thorn with Bai Yunqing, saying what he thought in his heart.

"Alas, my father is also quite annoyed, he has traveled all over the world in the early years and seen some strange things, and he has long thought of this, but he is helpless" Tang Thorn was very irritable, his fists clenched, trying to restrain the anger that was about to burst out in his heart. "As early as the previous time, I guessed that the deceased died a tragic death, all of them became dried corpses, and there are thieves who would do this, but I have never seen such a sensational murder method!

Tang Yuan thought for a moment, a trace of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face, his crystal clear eyes rolled, and said, "I really don't have a clue at all?"

Tang Jian shook his head again and again, lamented, and said slowly, "It's not nothing, I have searched the whole city that day, and there are only three places that have not been investigated."

Bai Yunqing stood aside, without thinking, thinking of the day when Qian Teng tracked thousands of miles to Shuijing Village, he personally heard Qian Teng say that Wu Ergou was the murderer of this matter.

The techniques are all like this, making people lose their essence and become a dry corpse, but Wu Ergou has been ambushed, and the corpse does not know where to go, why did he come to Chunqiu City by himself, and something happened?

However, when he thought about it deeply, he didn't realize that this matter was full of suspicions, Wu Ergou had fled from Chunqiu City to Shuijing Village, how could he come back, and according to Qian Teng's words, he chased the murderer to Shuijing Village, only to see Wu Ergou sucking human essence.

And the time when Chun Yu Cheng happened was still before, so the crime of Chun Yu Cheng was not committed by Wu Ergou, and the murderer must be someone else!

"What are those three places?"

"Yipinxiang, Natural Residence, Zuixiang Building, according to the spies, Yipinxiang and Natural Ju have recently had a few more people in the rivers and lakes, although they are dressed strangely, they often show their faces, but I heard that there are also some strangers in and out of Zuixianglou, but it is okay, after all, it is a Fengyue place" Tang Thorn's face frowned uncomfortable, and he thought about it a little.

"That being the case, it's better to send someone to conduct a thorough search, maybe there will be gains," Tang Yuan pointed out his thoughts and said in a low voice.

"Useless" Tang Thorn shook his head, Tang Yuan walked behind him, put his hands on his two temples, and gently kneaded them.

"Eh" Tang Thorn sighed soothingly, and his eyes swept over the hall and everyone was disappointed, "Alas, it's a pity that there is no one in my city lord's mansion, look at this group of people who shirk it!

"Uncle Tang, don't disturb, just listen carefully, if there is really something to blame, this matter has to be handed over to me" Bai Yunqing thought about it for a long time, since he encountered such a strange thing, he still had to take care of it.

"That's right, father, why did you forget Brother Yun, he is a member of the immortal family, with his help, are you still afraid that this matter will not come to light?" Tang Yuan said suddenly with joy on his face.

"Hey, look at me, I'm so busy that I almost forgot that Bai Zi's nephew is here, with him, this matter is already there!" Tang Thorn felt a lighter in his heart, and his originally wrinkled face gradually showed a smile.

"I want to know where the dead man's body is now?" Bai Yunqing stopped talking nonsense and went straight to the point.

"It should be parked next to the prison outside the city lord's mansion, where murders have been parked in the past, if someone comes to take them back for burial, they will go with them, if not, all the corpses will be burned every three or five days, so as not to disturb the people's hearts. Tang Jian thought for a moment, summoned the soldier who had just reported, asked about the situation, and told Bai Yunqing carefully.

"That's fine, without further ado, I'll go check and find clues" Bai Yunqing hugged his fists.

"If it's dark today, why don't you wait for tomorrow?" Although Tang Thorn was happy in his heart, he also felt that something was wrong, after all, today's dinner party was unhappily dispersed, and now he asked Bai Yunqing to help him investigate the murder case non-stop, it was inevitable that he was a little embarrassed.

"It's just that I hope Uncle Tang will send more people tonight to avoid accidents"

"That's it" Tang Thorn nodded, then got up and looked at the people in the hall who were making a lot of noise, his displeasure jumped up, he laughed angrily, and slapped the board suddenly, everyone closed their mouths and stood quietly, and the hall was suddenly silent.

"I already have a plan in my heart about this matter, since you are consciously shallow and ugly, Bai Zi and nephew have promised to help, you just need to help from the side."

"I'm ashamed of myself as ......"

"Brother Bai is really a hero and a boy!"

"There is little brother Bai out of the horse, this matter has already been resolved!"

"You don't have to be a sycophant, send someone to keep a firm look at the corpse outside the mansion, tomorrow Bai Zi and nephew will investigate the case, whoever dares to stop it will be severely punished!" Tang Jian smiled coldly and swept over everyone, and everyone only felt that their faces were like Mount Tai pressing down, making it difficult to breathe.

"The meeting is over!" Tang Thorn waved his hand, and it was rare to see everyone.

Everyone was relieved, and said honestly, "I can't share the worries of the city lord, I will retire from the dereliction of duty" but secretly rejoiced in their hearts, but they also felt helpless, no one touched this brow, and no one wanted to play anyone.

When everyone dispersed, Tang Thorn led Tang Yuan and Bai Yunqing side by side.

"Bai Zi's nephew smiled, his subordinates are as timid as rats, and they still hope to rely on Bai Zi's nephew!" Tang Jian clenched his fists and bowed, his tone solemn.

Bai Yunqing smiled back, "Uncle Tang is serious, this matter has to be decided tomorrow, it is not certain whether it will succeed or not, if it doesn't work, I hope you don't get angry with me."

"How can my father be angry with you! I know your ability, and the methods of the bat have become the soul of your sword, and the matter of Chunyu City must be fine! He, just waiting for the people to praise him!" Tang Yuan glanced at Tang Thorn, disapproving.

Tang Thorn laughed twice, "Hehe...... Brother Bai is a person with real skills, so don't be modest."

Bai Yunqing laughed embarrassedly twice, not talking.

The three of them walked for a while and went back to their houses.

The next day, the fish white first dewed, the cool breeze in the city was endless, and the streets were left with fallen leaves. The sound of snoring, shouting, and selling filled the streets. Vendors who get up early occupy the road, for fear that their butts will not touch the ground when they are late.

Bai Yun had already woken up early in the morning, this was a habit, and the cultivator was already full of energy, and he couldn't even sleep as well as meditate.

"Brother Yun, why did you get up so early?" When Tang Yuan saw Bai Yunqing, she couldn't help but look happy, as if she hadn't seen her for many years.

"Sister Yuan and Uncle Tang are not so early?" Bai Yunqing said with a smile.

"Have you ever eaten it?"

"I've already eaten, Uncle Tang will lead the way, and I'll go see what I'm doing!" Bai Yunqing stretched out his hand to signal.

Tang Thorn nodded slightly, and then walked out of the City Lord's Mansion under the escort of several soldiers.

"Look, it's the lord of the castle!"

"Lord of the city, I heard that there was another murder case in Tsubaki City yesterday, and it was the same as the previous times, it was all done by demons!

"That's right, Lord Castle, is there a demon in Tsubaki City?"

"Lord of the city, have you ever caught the murderer, we have heard about it since yesterday, and we have been worried about not falling asleep at night......"

"Lord of the Castle ......"

As soon as Bai Yunqing and Tang Thorn's parents stepped out of the gate, the gate of the originally empty City Lord's Mansion was instantly filled with people, mostly plainly dressed people.

"Everyone!" Tang Thorn cleared his throat, and the shouting people immediately stopped, and all looked at him with wide eyes. "Don't worry! This is not the work of some demon! Don't worry!"

"But I've heard that people are all dead bodies!" shouted somebody, and the crowd that had already turned out the fire was like lit firewood, and the sound of a thunderbolt resounded.

"Don't worry! Don't worry, even if it's a demon, don't worry! The city lord has already invited an immortal, if it's a demon, you should get rid of it, and you will be given a safe Chunyu City......"

"I didn't expect your father to be so loved by the people" Getting rid of the surrounding people, Bai Yunqing couldn't help but be moved, he never thought that Tang Thorn's prestige was so high, and he would appease the restless masses in just a few words.

Tang Yuan's pretty face was raised, quite angry, "That's natural, don't look at my father's prestige, but he is very close to the people, and there is no one in Chunqiu City who doesn't praise him." ”

At the same time, he gave Bai Yunqing a look, as if to say, I have such a father, don't you!

Bai Yun cleared his eyes, didn't bother to pay attention to her, and walked silently.

Tang Yuan showed his victorious white teeth and giggled.

Tang Thorn pointed to the simple shed made of grass surrounded by soldiers in front of him, and said, "This is it."

Bai Yunqing looked back at it, and there were four corpses lying in the grass shed covered by white cloth, but as he got closer, he found that the white cloth was covered with the same thickness at all!

"City Lord!" The soldiers of the "General" saluted in unison, and Tang Thorn motioned for them to leave.

The three of them walked into the grass hut, and Bai Yunqing lifted a piece of white cloth and couldn't help but look shocked.

"Ah!" Tang Yuan exclaimed, grabbed Tang Thorn with both hands, ran behind him, and poked his head out from time to time, looking scared but wanting to see.

Bai Yunqing glanced at her with disdain, as if realizing Bai Yunqing's disdain, Tang Yuan hurriedly let go of his hand and pretended to look at it calmly.

Bai Yunqing ignored her and looked at the corpse carefully.

The corpse was wrinkled, with only bones left under a layer of shriveled skin, empty eyes, a large mouth shaped like a barrel, and the hair on the brain was completely white.

However, the corpse showed no expression, as if it had died in a dream.

"Is there only a man among the dead?" Bai Yunqing asked after a moment's careful look.

Tang Jian shook his head and denied, "No, there are men and women, there are two men and two women here, and last time there were both men and women."

"It's strange to say this" Bai Yunqing muttered for a moment, and then lifted the white cloth of the other three corpses, and the death was basically the same, and the way of death was basically the same.

"Have you seen anything?" asked Tang Thorn in a deep voice without stretching his eyebrows.

"I have no clue, according to what I have seen and heard, but all those who die due to being eaten by essence qi are all hideous on their faces, and these four corpses have a pleasant face, and there is no wound on their bodies, which is not surprising!"

"What a good thing this is!"

"That's right, Brother Yun, even you don't have a clue, what can I do?"

Bai Yunqing smiled lightly and said, "It's not hard for me, I'm just curious, if there is no wound when sucking essence, it should be a demon evil such as picking yin and supplementing yang, so I am also strange, but all this kind of demon and evil should only pick yin, or supplement yang."

"Could it be that there are two evil cults doing this!" Tang Thorn was shocked.

"It's not right......" Bai Yunqing denied and couldn't decide.

"Can't see where this thing came from?" Tang Thorn's face became more and more ugly, and he asked in a low voice.

"I can't see it, I can only know if I catch it" Bai Yunqing was in trouble in his heart, and his face was solemn. "I'll see where this thing is!"

Bai Yunqing put his fingers together, his true qi flowed, first his eyes, then his ears, and then moved to his temples, and he recited in his mouth

"Peep into the sky, explore the earth's fate, and watch the gods shine in all directions!

Move the world, throw gossip, and listen to the ghosts and heroes sue the Six Realms!

Breath Chasing Souls!"

Bai Yunqing knows that all cultivators, whether they are demons, ghosts, or people, will have qi left, and it is good to use the qi induction soul chasing technique to find out!

Bai Yunqing's eyes burst out with fine light, and the voice in his ears became clearer and clearer.

"Come on, uncle~"

"Here, Childe~"

"The slave family has been waiting for you for a long time~"

"Little Beauty......

Bai Yunqing's face and ears were red, and he hurriedly collected his strength, his breath was short, and his expression was unusual.

"What's wrong with you, Brother Yun?" Tang Yuan couldn't help but ask with concern when he saw Bai Yunqing's face red and his eyes were not right.

"Uncle Tang, where do you have someone calling 'come, uncle~' or something like that?" Bai Yunqing didn't look at her, he learned what he heard in his ears, and said in a coquettish voice.

"Phew, you prodigal son!" Tang Yuan blushed and said softly.

"This ......" Tang Thorn looked at him suspiciously, meaning you asked me what this thing was for?

"I'm afraid the murderer is among them!"

"Really!"

"It's true, it's just that I finished early, and my eyes haven't seen where it is"

"Phew! I still want to see it clearly! Shameless!"

Bai Yunqing's face darkened and glared at her.

Tang Jian pondered, "According to what you said, I'm afraid it's a place of wind and moon, and if Chun Yu City says that it is fun, Zuixiang Lou is called the first, and no one dares to call it the second!"
