Li Gongfu came to the Yamen of Jinhua County and explained his identity to the messenger at the door. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
When the errand officer heard that it was the county's relatives and relatives who had arrived, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and hurriedly ran inside to report the news.
After a while, Xu Xian walked out quickly, and after meeting, he asked in surprise and joy, "Brother-in-law, why did you come here?"
Li Gongfu smiled and said, "Let's talk about it inside." ”
"Brother-in-law is right, please go inside. Xu Xian hurriedly let Li Gongfu to the back hall.
Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing and the Xu brothers were all there, except for Xiaoqing, whose face was still not good when he saw him, the other three came to greet Li Gongfu.
Under the gesture of Bai Suzhen, who was still dressed as a man, Xiaoqing reluctantly sent a cup of tea to Li Gongfu.
Li Gongfu picked up the teacup and wanted to drink it, but when he saw that the tea was half warm and half cold, and the tea leaves were floating on it, he couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and put the teacup down casually. He said to Xu Xian: "In the next period of time, we should be able to meet often, because I have just been transferred to the Jinhua Mansion Branch as the first seat. ”
Xu Xianxi said: "That's the best, is that sister coming together?"
Li Gongfu shook his head and said: "I have a lot of things to deal with here, so I didn't bring Jiaorong and left her in Qiantang County for the time being." ”
Bai Suzhen was careful, heard the meaning of Li Gongfu's words, and asked, "Lord Li, is there something going on here in Jinhua Mansion?"
Li Gongfu said: "Something happened, but I don't have a clue for the time being, so I don't have to pay attention to it for a while." I came this time because of the plague in Jinhua County. ”
Hearing about the plague in front of him, Xu Xian frowned: "The younger brother is also embarrassed by this matter." When the plague appeared, the younger brother also went to the street to see the sick, and always felt that this plague came strangely, and even said that it did not look like a plague at all. Nowadays, more and more people are getting sick, but it doesn't seem to be caused by mutual infection. It's just that the source of the disease came from, the younger brother didn't have a clue at that time. Until Sojeong...... cough, Brother Su reminded the younger brother, saying that this was a bit like poisoning, and the younger brother felt that it was indeed so.
Later, Brother Su and Xiaoqing visited the city in many ways, and found that the water source in the area where the patients appeared was more likely to contain some kind of toxin. They took some water from the well and examined it, and it was proved that although the poison was not fatal, it could cause abdominal pain and diarrhea, exactly the same symptoms as the patients in the city. As for where the toxins in these water sources come from, we already have a suspicion, which is ......"
"Wang Daoling!" Li Gongfu gave him the answer.
"It's this demon way!" Xu Xian said with some surprise, "It turns out that my brother-in-law also found out about this person's head?"
Li Gongfu shook his head and said, "Where is the need to check? When I entered the city today, I happened to see Wang Daoling selling medicine, and I was curious and cast a spell to spy on him, and found that he was actually a toad who had been practicing for more than a thousand years. The most important thing is that the whole city is trapped by the plague, and he is the only one who has both fame and profit. In this matter, he reaped the greatest benefits, and naturally the most suspicious. ”
Listening to Li Gongfu reveal the true appearance of Wang Daoling, Bai Suzhen's face showed a thoughtful look, and said slowly: "I haven't seen that Wang Daoling yet, and when I heard Lord Li say it, I realized that he is also a demon." If that's right, then Wang Daoling should be an enemy I made many years ago. ”
Xu Xian hurriedly asked, "How can Brother Su make a feud with this demon Dao?"
Bai Suzhen said: "That should have been five hundred years ago. At that time, the toad was also practicing in Qingcheng Mountain, he was just a golden pill, and he deceived me when I was still in the realm of qi training, and even came to the door to provoke and seize my cave mansion, and even had bad thoughts towards me. I was annoyed that he was rude, so I slapped him with a heavy hand, shattered his golden pill, and then expelled him from Qingcheng Mountain. This demon does have some means in using poison, and it seems that he is the murderer who poisoned the people this time!"
"How can this be reasonable!" Xu Xian was indignant and shouted angrily, "Since this demon is so hateful, why didn't you just kill him at that time, Su Zhen?"
Seeing Xu Xian's annoyance, Bai Suzhen's face turned red, but there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, and Wen Yan comforted: "Hanwen doesn't have to be angry. As for the behavior of the monster, it is indeed not a pity to kill. It's just that since I practiced, I have never harmed living beings, and I pity him for thousands of years of hard work, so I let him live. Who knows that he is not evil, and now he is doing evil in the world, harming innocent people, I will never spare him this time!"
Xiao Qing on the side rubbed his hands and said: "Why do you need to work sister to make a move in this matter, when I am here, I will go and find the stinky toad and stab me to death with a sword!"
Bai Suzhen hurriedly stopped and said: "Don't be in a hurry in this matter, these days, that royal spirit pretends to be a ghost and deceives many people." If we deal with him without real evidence, we will only attract criticism. I have an idea, what Wang Daoling relies on to deceive the people's trust is nothing more than the 'panacea'. Wait for me to use a trick of stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix into a phoenix, and drop his elixir. As long as the elixir fails, Wang Daoling will naturally lose the support of the people, and then we can let go of the means to clean him up. ”
"That's too much trouble. Xiaoqing muttered a little disgruntled and stepped aside.
"It's still Suzhen...... Well, Brother Su has thought it through. Xu Xian applauded, and then asked Li Gongfu, "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"
Li Gongfu shook his head lightly: "The white girl's plan is certainly comprehensive, but I am still more inclined to the idea of the little green girl, and directly call the door to find that Wang Daoling." ”
Everyone was stunned, only Xiaoqing's eyes lit up, and for the first time, he felt that this person was not so annoying.
Li Gongfu said again: "After all, the white girl is not deeply involved in the world, and she still doesn't know the hearts of the people in the vast red dust. Now that Hanwen and I represent the government, why should we have more scruples in our actions? Since it has been determined that Wang Daoling is the culprit, the truth can be revealed by directly arresting him for the first trial, and the people will naturally understand the merits of the matter. ”
After saying that, he took out a spirit rune with his backhand and threw it into the air, and the rune turned into a streamer and broke through the air.
Then he turned to Xu Xian and said, "Hanwen, you will arrange some manpower later to seal off the land shrine where Wang Daoling lives, and prohibit idlers from approaching." I have summoned the subordinates of the Jinhua Mansion Branch, and when the time comes, I will leave the matter of capturing the demon path to them. ”
Xu Xian agreed and immediately went out to make arrangements.
After a while, Zhan Kun appeared directly in the back hall and saluted Li Gongfu: "My subordinates have obeyed the first order, and have brought three third-level deacons and twelve first-level deacons to this department, and they are at the disposal of the first seat. ”
Li Gongfu waved his hand and said: "The matter of the plague in Jinhua County has been ascertained, and there is indeed a demon secretly doing so, so you will go with this seat to arrest the demon now." That demon is a thousand-year-old toad with a golden pill cultivation, you need to be careful. ”
Zhan Kun was stunned for a moment, obviously he couldn't imagine how Li Gongfu could find out the case so quickly when he first arrived, but his boss had already given the order, and the meaning of the other party's words was that he wanted to take the opportunity to test the skills of these people this time, and he had to give up his orders to go out to make arrangements.
