One day ago, Su Ziang, Chen Bufan, and Chu Tian stood on a small bridge at the head of Lichun Alley, the sky was glowing and golden, and the cool breeze was pleasant.

The small bridge head is a T-shaped intersection, to the left is Tingfeng Lane, to the right is Ge Lao Lane.

The roads of Lichun Lane and Tingfeng Lane are narrow, and you can't run the ox cart, and the road in Ge Lao Lane is spacious, and you can run away from the canopy ox cart, and after turning out from the Ge Lao Alley, you can go all the way to the Deyun cloth shop on the North Street.

The three of them stood on the small bridge and looked left and right.

Most of the people living in Lichun Lane and Tingfeng Lane are ordinary people, one household after another, most of the houses are grass houses, the courtyard walls are low, and the sound of chickens and dogs barking comes from time to time.

There are two rich and noble families living in the old alley, and it can be seen from the vermilion lacquer gate and the pavilion in the house that the two families have some origins.

"Those two households should be the Yang University Scholar's Mansion and the Guanglu Temple Shaoqing Chen Mansion. Chen Bufan pointed to the two households and said with a frown.

"Brother Chen, that group of Hu people should be hiding in this area, you see the back of the old alley, isn't it the butterfly garden?" Su Ziang pointed to a row of tall ancient trees behind the old alley of the pavilion and said.

The sun is setting in the west, and the sun is shining.

Rows of tall and solemn pine ancient cypress poked their heads out from behind the old alley street, the wind blew, and the huge canopy swayed slightly, showing a trace of time, the vicissitudes of time.

Underneath the ancient tree, there is a butterfly garden!

Chen Bufan said: "Two brothers, this matter is really too ingenious, and the back of Ge Lao Lane is really a butterfly garden." ”

"Dozens of little girls and Hu people all want to eat, drink, and sleep, this is not something that a small place can accommodate, ordinary people don't even think about it, such a big movement has already been discovered by the neighbors. Su Ziang sighed affirmatively and said, "I guess there must be ghosts in these two households." ”

Without waiting for Chen Bufan to speak, Su Ziang said again: "

"It's best to ask a formation mage who understands feng shui in Jin Wuwei to thoroughly investigate the nearby underground void and reality. ”

Chu Tian asked, "What is the origin of the Yang and Chen Mansions?"

After his death, his children and grandchildren have been idle at home by the grace of their ancestors, and Chen Zhaomin, the Shaoqing of Guanglu Temple, is a member of the five products of the dynasty, in charge of the procurement of oil, salt, grain and vegetables in the court, the use of furnishings and so on. ”

After Chen Bufan's introduction, he looked up at the sky and said: "According to the laws of this dynasty, if you need to ask the court for a decree to search for the five major members of the dynasty, I will ask Lord Tian for a search warrant early tomorrow morning, and then wait for the court's approval." ”

"That's just a matter of waiting. "Chu Tiandao.

Su Ziang suddenly remembered that Qing Yao had said that the most dissatisfied thing about Shui Luanzi's visit to Luodu this time was to live, and he suddenly had a bold idea in his heart, so he asked:

"Brother Chen, the butterfly garden is thousands of zhang in size, the ancient pines and cypresses in the garden are patches, the mountains and rocks are pavilions, there seems to be a small lake in the garden, such a big garden, why has it been uninhabited, and it is still called a ghost garden?"

"The location of the butterfly garden is not good, from the feng shui, it belongs to the extremely yin place of Shekou, most of the masters in the garden did not die well, the last butterfly garden owner was greedy for cheap, bought at a low price, invited a famous feng shui warlock to guide, built several Yangge town houses in the garden, and the people in the house still died overnight, and the butterfly garden has been deserted until now. ”

"Who is in charge of this butterfly garden now?"

"For the time being, it is under the jurisdiction of Jingzhao Mansion. ”

"Oh, got it. Su Ziang secretly said in his heart, and said, "Brother Chen will apply for a search warrant from Lord Tian tomorrow morning, this matter cannot be delayed." ”

Chen Bufan said: "Okay, I will ask Lord Tian for instructions early tomorrow morning." ”

Everyone returned to Jingzhao Mansion along the cross street, passing by the Miaoyue Medical Center.

From a distance, I saw a large number of ordinary people gathered outside the medical hall, Juanzi and Taozi were distributing Miaoyue Yiqi Pills, and in the twilight, everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles.

"If you want to take it, you must first go with it, Miaoyue Medical Hall sent out a Qi Pill, and took back a heart, this business is very clever. Chu Tian praised.

Su Ziang followed everyone's gaze and looked at the Miaoyue Medical Hall, his heart moved faintly, there was a hazy feeling of déjà vu, he thought about it carefully, but he couldn't remember what it was......

Two days later, Su Ziang and Chu Tian rushed to Jingzhao Mansion early in the morning to stand by, and under Tian Wenlin's care, they were able to get a search warrant for Pavilion Lao Lane today.

After Chen Bufan saw the two of them, he immediately said: "Something is wrong, dozens of people in the Yang Mansion died violently in the back garden last night, let's go and take a look." ”

The Yang Mansion is spacious, and the front and back of the house are a few times, and the style of a famous family is paid, but the doors and windows are detached, and the backyard garden is full of wild grass.

The winding paths along the way are quiet, and the daily necessities in the houses are readily available, and the birds in the cages in the houses are still flying around.

The head of Ge Lao Lane was an old man, his face was pale, and he introduced: "Yang Fu is a scholarly disciple, it's too miserable, there is no one left, and they all died in a hole under the rockery in the back garden." ”

"Take a look into the garden. Chen Bufan ordered.

In the middle of the garden stands a rockery, motionless, and a black hole is exposed under the rockery.

The black hole is deep, and there are gusts of yin wind coming out of it, and when you look down from above, you can only see stone steps extending into the cave.

"Liudezi of Ge Lao Street saw the gate of Yang's Mansion open early in the morning, came in to see, it was empty, and he found this hole all the way to the garden, he had the courage to go down to see that all the people in Yang's Mansion were dead inside......"

Chen Bufan listened to the street chief's introduction with an expressionless face, and then said: "Since the population of Yang Mansion is dead, it seems that there is no danger in the cave, let's go in and have a look." ”

The area in the cave is very spacious, and it is slightly similar to the palace on the Infernal Sea, a long passage, divided into dozens of rooms of different sizes on both sides, and all kinds of daily necessities in the living rooms.

The walls are covered with small pearls of the night, emitting a dark glow.

Dozens of corpses fell crookedly on the passage, including four bodies in the shape of Hu people, and in one room, there was the body of a little girl and the bones of a bamboo basket of girls.

The light is dim, the bones are all over the place, the whole cave is like a hell on earth, on the shore of the Yellow Spring, the ventilation in the cave is not smooth, and the people who smell blood can't open their eyes and breathe.

Chen Bufan waved his hand, and everyone withdrew from the cave together.

"Liu Weihe, you take someone back to Jingzhao Mansion to find a person to conduct an autopsy, and then write a report and hand it over to Lord Tian. ”

"Wang Jie, you take your brothers to guard the inside and outside of the Yang Mansion ......," Chen Bufan ordered in a row.

"No. Liu Weihe and Wang Jie took the order and left.

When there was no one around, Chen Bufan arched his hand to Su Ziang and Chu Tian, and said, "Two brothers, this case is about to be closed here." ”

"Ah, I haven't caught a hu man yet. Su Ziang and Chu Tian looked surprised and quite puzzled.

"Two brothers, it is definitely not a good thing for us to investigate this case again. Chen Bufan whispered: "Two brothers, think about it, we just applied for a search warrant from Lord Tian, and dozens of people in the Yang Mansion died in one night, what does this mean?"

"Does it mean that the Hu people may have sent people to keep an eye on us?" Su Ziang said.

Chen Bufan said: "Maybe that's the case, but there is another possibility, that is, someone in Jingzhao Mansion leaked the news." ”

"There is a mole in Jingzhao Mansion, who does Brother Chen suspect?" Su Ziang suddenly remembered Tian Wenlin of an ancient scripture in his heart.

"I don't doubt anyone, this case is too weird, dozens of mysterious Hu people, among them are actually the Great Perfection Monk of the Yuanying Realm, as well as the Soul Gathering Bead, the killer of the Wind Thunder Sword Sect, and dozens of people in the Yang Mansion died violently overnight......" A trace of fear flashed in Chen Bufan's eyes, and he said: "My family, large and small, is all in Luodu, but it can't withstand a finger of the Yuanying Great Perfection Monk or the Wind Thunder Sword Sect monk." ”

He looked at Su Chu and the others, and said, "Even the two brothers can't prevent a Yuanying Great Perfection cultivator from sneaking up, not to mention that the other party's strength may not only expose these." ”

"Brother Chen, is it so serious?" Su Ziang said: "This is in Luodu, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, the city of Wanghua." ”

"Yes, with my brother's experience in handling cases for more than ten years, I will never scare you two. Chen Bufan looked solemn and said: "At this moment, this opportunity is just right, the Hu people and the people in the Yang Mansion killed each other in the cave, and there is a basket of girls' bones......"

Su Ziang said: "Can Master Tian believe it?"

"Lord Tian wishes to close the case as soon as possible, these Hu people have obviously fled early, and they will definitely be more cautious. Chen Bufan said: "Wait for the next time the case is reported, I don't know if it will be that year and month." ”

"Is this the case handled by the imperial court?" Su Ziang was confused for a while, and said, "The case is solved?"

Chen Bufan said with a smile: "Yes, it's broken, the two brothers are waiting to receive the reward, and now the result is happy, the criminals are dead, and there is no proof of death." ”

After Su Ziang and Chu Tian waited for Chen Bufan to walk away, they looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Senior Brother Chu, is this how the court officials do things?"

"Maybe, they all report good news and not bad news, and brush each other with gold dust. ”

......

Jingzhao Yin Tian Wenlin received the report of the case submitted by Chen Bufan, and he was very happy.

At this moment, a figure flashed into the lobby.

"Lord Tian. Jingzhao Mansion Shaoyin wished Da Jiu Shili and said, "Congratulations on the investigation of the Hu Ren case." ”

"Rejoice, rejoice. Tian Wenlin had a smile on his face and asked, "I wish you to come, but is there something wrong?"

"Is this case so simply solved?"

"Lord Zhu seems to have other ideas, and I will listen to this official. ”

"Master Tian, this case can be big or small, tell Xiaoxiao, the criminals are all dead, and the remains of the girl were found, and the human and physical evidence are all available, and the case can be closed. Zhu Dajiu analyzed: "But if you want to dig deeper, this case seems to be unfinished, such as whether there are other Hu people who escaped, of course, everything depends on how Lord Tian decides." ”

"Let's find it here, now the human and material evidence is complete, and the official has a bright face in front of His Majesty. Tian Wenlin muttered: "This case involves Hu people, as the saying goes, diplomatic relations are no trivial matter, and if you investigate further, I am afraid that you will not be able to get benefits." ”

"The eyes of the three major catchers in Jingzhao Mansion are burning, especially Li Zhutou, who has been inquiring about the progress of this case openly and secretly. Zhu Jiuzhi said in a low voice: "Lord Tian, you know that there is someone behind Li Zhukuai. ”

"Eight thousand years old hands are stretched too long. Tian Wenlin's face suddenly became gloomy, and said, "Li Zhutou is eating from the bowl and looking at the pot." ”

Zhu Jiuzhi said coldly: "Do you want the subordinate to give Li Zhutou a wake-up call?"

"Don't worry, you have to wait for a good opportunity to fight the dog, you don't have to come forward in person, this official has his own opinions. ”

"Everything is up to Tian Daren's faction. Zhu Dajiu took out a brocade box and said, "Xiaguan is a little careful, please ask Lord Tian to smile." ”

"A Yang Sui Pill?" Tian Wenlin took the brocade box, pinched a pill and sniffed it under his nose, and immediately smiled: "This pill is a thousand gold, where did I get it?"

"It's good if Lord Tian likes it, why bother to know the source. Zhu Dajiu smiled and said, "If you need it, you will have your own officials to serve it." ”

"Okay, okay, stand down. Tian Wenlin waved his hand.
