But it doesn't come without a price.

Plans can never keep up with change.

Originally, he still had close to six hundred taels of silver on him, which was enough for him to eat and consume for more than a month, but in the past three days, the cost has increased exponentially, especially in terms of food, which has increased several times.

He must now consider that in the future, people will not think far away, but there will be near-term worries!

Thinking so, he walked out of the cultivation room and came to the yamen, wanting to find Lao Wang and see if there were any wanted criminals in the official mansion who were rich in rewards and within his ability, he needed to make extra money, otherwise his finances would go bankrupt.

Walking into the mansion, he saw that Lao Wang Zheng's face was gloomy, his eyes were staring at the paperwork in his hand, and he seemed to be dealing with government affairs.

Since Chen Wu's death, Chen Shen has been even more respectful of Yao Qian, and he left immediately when he saw it from afar, as if he was afraid of meeting him.

Yao Qian guessed that it might have something to do with Chen Shanqi, after all, he was the first to put forward the case of the dried corpse on Chen Shanqi's head, who knew that he kicked it on the iron plate and lost his brother's life.

These thoughts flashed through his mind, and he asked, with a smile on his face once more.

"Uncle, what happened recently, it doesn't look good at your face. ”

When Lao Wang heard what he said, he suddenly raised his head, and when he saw that it was Yao Qian, his face softened, he was too attentive just now, and he didn't notice that someone came in.

"See for yourself, right?"

He handed over the thick stack of documents in his hand, Yao Qian took two steps over to catch it, and sat on the side to read.

He opened the first document, which was sent by Shunxi Town, which is under the jurisdiction of Pingyang City, and there were two flame signs in the document, indicating that it was an urgent document in an urgent situation, and his face became serious unconsciously, looking at the content of the document.

His eyes glanced at three lines, and he quickly read all the contents of the paperwork, and he also knew what was going on.

Late at night four days ago in Shunxi Town, a strange murder suddenly occurred.

Nearly 50 people died overnight, and the dead died in a horrible state, reduced to dried corpses.

According to the examination, except for some corpses that could no longer be examined, there was not even a trace of blood left in the body of the remaining corpses, as if it had evaporated directly from the body.

Seeing this case, he immediately thought of the case of dried corpses that also appeared in the city.

It's just that since Chen Shanqi was killed, there has been no similar case, and he has forgotten about it.

Unexpectedly, Shunxi Town actually appeared again, and nearly fifty people died at once.

He put down the paperwork in Shunxi Town and opened another one.

This is a document from Nanyan Town, and it is also an urgent document, after reading the content, Yao Qian's face is not good-looking.

Three days ago, during the day, a village in Nanyan Town suddenly lost news, and when the yamen went out to arrest it, it was found that the villagers of the entire village had been killed, even the elderly and children, and the death was exactly the same as that of Shunxi Town, only more tragic.

He opened other documents, Shanmen Town, Fengwo Town, Hexi Town......

All urgent documents are the same thing, that is, a strange murder in the jurisdiction, and the person who was killed was bloodless, turned into a dried corpse, and the death was terrifying.

Yao Qian put all the paperwork on the table, closed his eyes and thought for a while, in the past four days alone, more than 300 people have died, and it is such a tragic death, which caused great panic, and he had to write to the Pingyang Mansion one after another.

He opened his eyes again, his eyes had calmed down, and he pushed the document on the table to Lao Wang, and said: "After all, this is a matter of the county under the jurisdiction of Pingyang City, and it has nothing to do with us. ”

As time passed, he became more and more aware of the world, and his heart became cold and hardened.

Lao Wang glanced up at him, came to the geographical map of Pingyang's mountains and rivers next to his desk, and said, "Yuanzhen, come and take a look yourself." ”

Yao Qian took two steps forward, came to the map, looked at it carefully, and unconsciously drew his fingers along the map along the county where the document was located.

After a few breaths, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he understood Lao Wang's concern.

This route followed the passage of timeline, and it turned out to be straight in the direction of Pingyang City.

According to the time of the crime and the time of delivery of the latest document, Yao Qian immediately deduced that there were two days at most before the murderer could reach Pingyang City, and judging from the crimes he had committed along the way, he or they would definitely not let go of the people of Pingyang City.

And first of all, their government will definitely face the greatest pressure, and catching fast is the most dangerous life.

As long as Yao Qian thought about it, he felt a cold breath in his heart, cold and cold.

And not only that, Yao Qian always had an ominous premonition brewing in his heart, as if something bad was about to happen.

Bang bang bang......

Outside the yamen, the prefect seemed to squeeze in like a round ball, as if it was an ant on a hot pot, his face was pale, and his whole body seemed to tremble a little.

"What's going on, those murderers won't really hit Pingyang, right?"

The prefect seemed to be attending some kind of banquet, dressed very luxuriously, and there was a faint smell of rouge and the aroma of fine wine, and when he came in a hurry, he seemed to be very flustered, and he didn't even care that his clothes were cut a few times.

His eyes swept over the torn clothes on the prefect's legs, but his mind was thinking about the mess.

As for those murderers who are ruthless and have strange methods, he has no intention of confronting the other party, let alone rushing to protect the people of Qianshou with his brains caught in the door, his heart is not so noble.

Just from the documents delivered by these counties, it can be seen that this murderer is definitely not an ordinary master, and even whether he is a human or not has to say two things.

And he believes that Lao Wang can also see that this or this group of murderers seems to be very purposeful, if it is really a purposeless killing, there is no need to change so many places.

Or should it be said that the murder case on the paperwork is just an opening dish, and the real main course has not yet been served.

Thinking about it like this, he wouldn't even think about the top of the brain, it was looking for death and nothing else, as for what the prefect said, he didn't even have the desire to listen.

Anyway, when he came back to his senses, the prefect's mood had calmed down, and it seemed that Lao Wang had promised him something.

Finally sent away the living treasure of the prefect, Lao Wang sighed, and said with a sad and sympathetic look.

"It's really raining and the wind is full of buildings!"

Yao Qian thought about it, it was true, and it seemed that it had really not been peaceful in recent times.

Looking at his appearance, Yao Qian was stunned and said.

"Uncle, what are we going to do next? You don't really want us to go up, do you?"
