Shen Congrong was on the side, and he didn't show any intention of hiding his identity, so in the face of Han Qu's inquiry, Bai Wen didn't dare to answer directly, but looked at Shen Congrong and asked her opinion.

And Bai Wen's action also confirmed Han Qu's guess: this person is really Shen Congrong.

However, Han Qu did not ask, but looked at Shen Congrong with Han Qu's gaze, waiting for Shen Congrong's answer.

"Since the envoy is so intentional, if my Daqin refuses, it is a big mistake, but after all, the matter of Python Mountain is my Daqin's family matter, if the envoy wants to assist in the investigation, he must enter with my Daqin investigators, and he must not act privately, otherwise, I have to think that the envoy has other plans." Shen Congrong did not refuse Han Qu's request, but he also added restrictions to prevent Han Qu from moving freely in Python Mountain.

Han Qu didn't feel a lot of surprise at Shen Congrong's answer, he didn't plan to be able to investigate freely, after all, no one would share it with others, whether it was a spirit beast or something else. Moreover, even if you can't get the spirit beast this time, if you can win Shen Congrong's favor, you can hope to become a Taoist couple in the future, whether it is for yourself or Han, it is excellent.

"This is natural, so I don't know when to set off, with whom?" Han Qu agreed to Shen Congrong's conditions, and had a brief understanding of the time of action and the person in charge.

Shen Congrong had just arrived in Fancheng, and he didn't know much about the specific matters of Python Mountain, so he replied: "For the matter of Python Mountain, I am also new to Fancheng, and I still need to understand it, formulate an investigation plan, and set off in Taishou Mansion two days later, but if I can't do it then, I won't wait much." ”

Han Qu nodded and said, "Then I don't know if I can participate in this information and make an investigation plan, and how to call my lord?"

Shen Congrong smiled and said: "If you are interested, you can naturally participate, and as for the title, you can call me Mr. as they do." ”

"Could it be that you are Mr. Congrong, the future Qintian Supervisor of Great Qin?" Han Qu pretended to be surprised.

Although Shen Congrong knew that Han Qu was pretending, he couldn't break it, and replied: "Exactly." ”

Han Qu got up and saluted: "Han Qu has come to envoy Han Qu, I have seen Mr. ”

Even if this is just a salute, Shen Congrong naturally didn't sit well, got up and said, "Come and make the journey hard, please sit." ”

Han Qu sat down again and said, "Thank you, sir, what happened about Python Mountain from now on?"

If Han Qu didn't arrive, Shen Congrong would naturally start immediately, but now that there is one more person to make Han Qu, there will still be some etiquette problems. So he said: "It is noon now, and it is the time to eat, so that the people who come to think have not yet eaten, eat first, and then start after the meal." ”

"It's true that you haven't eaten yet, so it's troublesome sir. ”

"If you let me make a hunger investigation, it means that my Daqin is not treating customers well, I don't know if there is anything I want to eat or what I can't eat?"

"There are no taboos. ”

Since Han Qu said so, it was simple. Shen calmly said to Bai Wen: "Then tell the kitchen to make more meals in order to come." ”

"Yes. After saying that, Bai Wen went out to tell the little maid about lunch.

Soon, Bai Wen returned to the reception room.

"It's good to stop for lunch, but please wait a little longer. ”

Under the leadership of Bai Wen, several people left the reception room and went to the dining room to wait for dinner.

Because Shen Congrong and Feng Muge had eaten, they didn't eat too much during the meal, Han Qu was a skilled cultivator, and he didn't eat a lot, and most of the dishes on the table were eaten by Bai Wen.

"Too good to keep your appetite. Han Qu was a little surprised.

Not only Han Qu, but Shen Congrong also looked at Bai Wen, most of the dozen dishes and a large pot of soup on this table were eaten by Bai Wen, this kind of food is indeed amazing.

Bai Wen was stared at by everyone, couldn't help blushing, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and said: "I was originally a military general, and I practiced foreign kung fu all year round, consumed a lot, and ate more, so I smiled." ”

"Where, my Daqin can have today, it's all because a soldier like Taishou eats more, how can I see and laugh. Shen calmly took the towel on the table, wiped his hands and mouth, rinsed his mouth with tea, and said: "Since the meal is used up, Taishou will take the file of the Python Mountain incident, and make an analysis plan in the reception room." ”

"Yes. After getting Shen Congrong's order, Bai Wen left the dining room, which can be regarded as relieving the slightly embarrassing atmosphere.

"Let's go to the reception room and wait a while. Shen Congrong also got up and invited Han Qu.

"Everything was arranged by the sir. Han Qu said that everything was according to what Shen Congrong originally said, and the Great Qin Fang was the main thing.

After waiting in the reception room for a while, Bai Wen arrived with the file.

handed over the file to Shen Congrong, and Bai Wen began to tell about Python Mountain.

As early as a month ago, some people in the village at the foot of Python Mountain reported hearing the roar of a giant beast on the mountain, and at first thought it was a large beast such as a bear and tiger, but several explorations did not find such a beast on Python Mountain, and the people who went to investigate also heard such a roar at night. After coming down a few times, Bai Wen decided to personally lead a team to explore Python Mountain, because the roar only appeared at night, so he took a team of sergeants at night and went up the mountain with torches to look for it.

At first there was no movement on the mountain, and no animal was found, but when we reached the third hill, the hour was nearing dawn, and suddenly a beast's roar came from the fourth hill. The sound of this beast's roar was very loud, and it didn't look like the roar of a bear and a tiger, but since there was a sound, it meant that the main owner was over there, and Bai Wen rushed over with the sergeants.

On the fourth hill, Bai Wen found that the trees and bushes were broken, judging from the traces, it was the trace of a huge python parade, which made Bai Wen suddenly a little scared, this trace is really too big, if this is really the trace of a python, then this python must be three feet thick. Such a big snake, its strength is by no means comparable to others, and it is very likely that it has become a spirit, but he still can't believe it if he hasn't seen Bai Wen in person, so he continues to explore along the track, and after walking for a long time, he found a huge scale, which seems to be a snake scale.

Bai Wen opened a cloth bag, showed the scales and said, "These are the scales found at that time." ”

Shen calmly took it and observed it carefully, the scales were purple, irregular hexagonal, more than an inch thick, less than two inches, and up to eight inches, but not heavy, about half a catty.

"This seems to be the back scale of a snake, such a huge scale, if not a spirit, it is not a giant python that ordinary people can subdue. Shen calmly made a conclusion about the attribution of the scales.

Han Qu looked at the huge scales and said: "If this is the back scale of the snake, then this snake is indeed too big, not to mention three zhang thick, two zhang thick is definitely there, if you don't get rid of it, it will become a disaster." ”

"Go on. Shen calmly motioned for Bai Wen to continue.

After discovering the scales, Bai Wen planned to follow the trail to see where the divine was, when another beast roar, this time it was close, it was simply deafening. Under the roar of this beast, Bai Wen and the others could only stop in place and cover their ears. After the roar stopped, Bai Wen heard the sound of something moving, and looked left and right with a torch, and found that a patch of purple was swimming through the nearby woods, and the trees fell backwards, and those that had fallen were crushed or even crushed. Bai Wen didn't dare to move, and waited until he couldn't hear any sound before going down the mountain.

After going down the mountain, Bai Wen found that his body was soaked with sweat, and everyone else was the same, and when he returned to the village at the foot of the mountain, Bai Wen and the others stayed awake all night. The next day, Bai Wen issued an order to close the mountain, not allowing the people to go to Python Mountain again, and then rushed back to Fancheng to send a report to the imperial court.

Since then, there have been frequent cases of livestock loss at the foot of Python Mountain, and what is even more outrageous is that there are many snake nests in the village and Fancheng, but they are all small snakes, and many people have been added to clean these snake nests in the village and the city. But such a thing is too weird, and it is obvious that it has become a disaster, so it has been passed on again and again.

After listening to Bai Wen's story, Shen calmly asked, "You said that snake nests began to appear in the villages at the foot of the mountain and in Fancheng after you explored?"

Bai Wen thought carefully for a while and said: "Yes, even after we investigated, we had never found snake nests in villages and cities before, only occasionally some snake pythons ran down from the mountains, but they were all directly killed by local villagers." ”

"Then it seems that your exploration at that time, what you brought down from Python Mountain was not just this snake scale. Han Qu looked at Bai Wendao.

Bai Wen was shocked by Han Qu's words, and his voice trembled a little: "What do you mean by this?"

Shen said calmly: "It means that the monster on Python Mountain is indeed a monster, it not only discovered you, but also used you, but you don't know it." ”

"Use, don't scare me, we were quite far away at the time, except for the snake scales, we didn't take anything else, and we didn't find anything on us. Bai Wen was even more panicked, if the demon chaos under the mountain during this time had something to do with him, it would be a big sin.

Shen calmly looked at the flustered Bai Wen and said, "Don't panic, as the Great Qin Taishou, what kind of system will you become." ”

"Yes, the lower officials have lost their manners, but if these disasters under the mountain are caused by our investigation on the mountain, then I really can't be at peace in my heart. ”

Shen calmly picked up the scales again and looked at them: "This scale is not simple, and it is common sense for you to take it down, but you don't know that this scale will cause such a riot." ”

"Scales?" Bai Wen looked at the scales and wondered: "There are no snake eggs on this scale, how can it cause such a big snake disaster, from the foot of Python Mountain to Fancheng, it is more than sixty miles, and Fancheng is 20,000 hectares wide, which has all suffered from snake plagues." ”

"It's not just these places. Shen calmly shook his head and said.
