Chapter 182: Escaping?
The two late-stage demon cultivators contacted Yuan Ping first, and everyone went to the Tian Mansion together to explain their findings and discuss how to deal with them next.
After contacting their superiors, the people knew that it was impossible to continue to arrest Zhao Xiuying, so they could only find out the murderers who killed the five ghosts first, and by the way, they also had to find the early demon cultivator, so they made a detailed plan, waiting for those soldiers to come and implement their plan together.
Kong Rui waited in the house until the afternoon, only to see that there were people in and out of the Tian Mansion again, he took a closer look, and couldn't help but be surprised, only to see that there were two late-stage demon cultivators there, of course he knew that he couldn't do anything to these demon cultivators in this vicinity, so he had to carefully monitor them first.
Early the next morning, the residents of Qingshui Town really discovered that another Qiqian soldier had been stationed in, but it was only a small unit; soon, the Qiqian people put up a notice, saying that there had been a murder in the vicinity, and asked the outsiders to leave as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary incidents; the tone of the notice was not very harsh, and it seemed that it was only for the sake of ordinary people; and the order on the streets was also very calm, and there was no abnormality because of the presence of the Qiqian soldiers.
Fan Fu was extremely shrewd, and when he saw such a notice from the stingers, it was very different from what he saw on weekdays, and he became uneasy in his heart, so he said to Fan Yongjie: "Young master, I think this time the stinging is too weird, and it seems calm at the moment, it seems that there is something big hidden behind it, so I think we should leave as soon as possible." ”
Fan Yongjie also sensed that something was wrong, and those people were also killed by them, and his heart was indeed not very steady, and now when he heard Fan Fu say this, he nodded and said: "Okay, then we will leave tonight, and we will go to cremate the bodies of those two people as soon as possible and bring them back, so as not to have too many dreams at night." Fan Fu immediately went out to make arrangements.
Kong Rui heard Zhang Yuanzhi say that if someone left because of this, then they would definitely not dare to do business with the mining valley in the future, so he wanted to go back to the inn to see how many merchants were still holding on there, and by the way, to see Fan Yongjie's situation.
When the innkeeper saw Kong Rui coming back, he hurriedly said to Kong Rui with a smile on his face: "The guest officer is back." ”
"Shopkeeper, are there many people who have already left?" Kong Rui nodded and asked.
"There are quite a few people who have left, but most of them are still like guest officers, leaving people here. The shopkeeper also thought that Kong Rui was also an unlucky guy who was left by a group of businessmen to observe the situation.
"There is an opportunity to make money, of course, you can't run first. Kong Rui nodded secretly and said to the shopkeeper.
"This nature, this nature. The shopkeeper also hurriedly agreed.
After staying in the room until dark, Kong Rui walked out into the street again and walked towards the courtyard rented by Fan Yongjie.
Because there were two late-stage demon cultivators in this town, Kong Rui didn't dare to release his divine sense to explore around, but he still cautiously approached the courtyard, and before he approached the courtyard, he saw that the door of the courtyard suddenly opened, and a person walked out of it.
Seeing someone coming out, Kong Rui hurriedly dodged to the side, only to see that the qi refiner bodyguard took the lead to come out and looked around, and when he saw that there was no one nearby, he waved his right hand, and several more people led the horse out, it was Fan Yongjie, Fan Fu and another bodyguard. As soon as the four of them left the compound, they quietly walked out of the town, and the horses' hooves were also wrapped in cotton cloth, and there was no sound.
Seeing that Fan Yongjie was leaving, Kong Rui only said that they were afraid of things before leaving, and thought that they might not have any business dealings with the mining valley, so he shook his head secretly and was about to leave.
Suddenly, Kong Rui sensed that there were other people nearby, so he hurriedly stopped moving and watched the changes, only to see a black shadow in mid-air also following Fan Yongjie and the others.
As soon as he saw that there was a late-stage demon cultivator who was also following Fan Yongjie and them, Kong Rui had no choice but to leave directly, but needed to protect Fan Yongjie and the others, so he quietly followed behind the demon cultivator and went south out of town.
It turned out that Fan Yongjie and the others planned to leave, so Fan Fu arranged for a bodyguard to buy some tung oil, two crockpots and some paper money, but he happened to be found out by a spy on the ground, because this kind of thing was going to cremate the dead. And the murders that have occurred in the past few days near Qingshui Town are all related to the Qiqian people, so this secret agent immediately reported to Yuan Ping, and the whereabouts of Fan Yongjie and the others were immediately monitored, and at this time, seeing that Fan Yongjie was about to leave quietly, the demon cultivator immediately followed, to see whose corpse they planned to dispose of.
Fan Yongjie and his entourage of four people and six horses soon arrived at the place where the two dead bodyguards were temporarily buried. Everyone jumped off their horses, burned some paper money, and dug up the bodies of the two men, and just as the two bodyguards were about to pour tung oil on the corpses for cremation, they suddenly heard a strange laugh in the air, like a ghost crying wolf.
Fan Yongjie and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly pulled out their weapons, looked up, and the Qi Refiner bodyguard shouted and asked, "Who is pretending to be a ghost here?"
I saw two black clouds falling in mid-air, and two late-stage demon cultivators appeared at the same time, one was tracking here, and the other was waiting here.
I heard a demon cultivator ask in a gloomy voice, "Are you the companions of these two dead people?"
As soon as Fan Yongjie and the others saw these two people descending from the sky, they all knew that they were late-stage spirit disciples, and they didn't dare to dance weapons in front of them at the moment, Fan Fu stepped forward boldly, bowed to the two demon cultivators, and said, "The two immortal disciples are polite." We were supposed to be businessmen, and we went to Qingshui Town to see if there was any business to do, but the day before yesterday, we were suddenly attacked by a group of bandits in the mine valley, and two of our companions were killed. This time, the officials asked me and other outsiders to leave Qingshui Town as soon as possible, so we thought about bringing back the ashes of these two companions, and this is where the night comes. Please also ask the two immortals to make it convenient. ”
The demon cultivator asked again, "So there are five more people here who have been killed by you?"
Fan Fu muttered in his heart, that day he heard Kong Rui say that they were pretending to be a schemer, but now he didn't know what to say, so he said: "On that day, they claimed to be the second hand of Zhao from the Mine Valley, and they wanted to attack us, so we had to do it." ”
The two demon cultivators seemed to be able to understand the reason why these people were pretending to be people in the Mine Valley like this, so they asked again, "Then they should have one more person, and where did that person go?"
As soon as he heard this, Fan Fu immediately thought that these two people should be in the same group as the people who robbed them at that time, and immediately knew that they were definitely not from the Mine Valley; he knew that there had never been a late-stage spirit disciple since the Mine Valley fell into Zhao Shuangzhong, and he guessed that they were nine times out of ten that they were scheming people, so he broke out in a cold sweat at the moment, and wanted to make up a lie to deceive them, so he replied: " In fact, none of us were opponents of these six at that time, and when we saw that our two companions were killed, we were all afraid to run away, and then it seemed that someone else came, and we just listened to the fight behind us, but we didn't dare to look back, and we didn't know what was going on. ”
Kong Rui was far behind, and when he heard Fan Fu's words, he couldn't help but feel that he was really an old fox, but he didn't know if he could fool the two scheming people.
Sure enough, when those two demon cultivators heard Fan Fu's explanation, they seemed to have some truth, after all, it was not something ordinary people could do to kill an early stage demon cultivator, not to mention that there were five other good hands following that spirit disciple.
The two of them were suspicious, looked at each other, and then asked, "Then who buried the bodies of the two of them?"
Fan Fu hurriedly said: "We sent someone over the next day, and we didn't dare to bring the body back to the town, so we had to bury it temporarily, and only now do we plan to cremate it and bring it back." ”
The two demon cultivators sounded like a reasonable explanation, although they didn't find out the whereabouts of the deputy stationmaster, they couldn't just assume that Fan Yongjie and the others were doing it, so they stopped talking at the moment.
I saw a demon cultivator release his divine sense to probe the belongings of these people, and under the investigation, these people didn't bring a lot of money and goods, after all, Fan Yongjie and the others only came to inspect in advance, not directly to do business, I saw that the demon cultivator waved his hand and said: "Okay, what should you do." ”
