Regarding the invitation issued by Bai Jue, Shen Congrong did not have any reason to refuse, and readily agreed.

"Okay, please report to your master, and when the matter is handled calmly, I will come to visit you soon. Shen calmly set a very relaxed time.

Bai Jue didn't ask for a specific time, bowed down and saluted: "If Mr. sets a time, you can go to Baifu by Weishui to find me, and I will definitely report to the master and sweep the couch to greet you." ”

After the politeness, Bai Jue and Li Kun left.

Looking at the backs of them leaving, Shen Congrong squinted his eyes, Li Cang seemed to have something to say just now, but he didn't speak.

"What did he want to say, and why didn't he say it?" Shen thought calmly.

"Sir, there seems to be something wrong with Li Kun. Feng Muge interrupted Shen Congrong's thinking and said.

"Oh? Regarding Li Cang's question, Shen Congrong wanted to hear Feng Muge's opinion.

Feng Muge said: "From the time they came over to the time they left, Li Kun didn't say a word, and when Bai Jue invited us to Weishui, his expression was very strange. ”

Feng Muge recalled that Li Cang's eyes at that time seemed to remind him not to promise Bai Jue, and said: "He doesn't seem to want us to go to Weishui, or rather, he doesn't want us to go to Baifu." ”

"But this is not quite right, he and Bai Jue should both come out of Weishui, and their owners should also be the same person, otherwise they would not appear here together. It stands to reason that it was his master's order to invite us to Weishui, and Baifu should be their stronghold to the outside world. In that case, he shouldn't behave like this. Feng Muge analyzed the problem on Li Kun, and only felt that it was wrong, but he couldn't say why.

Shen Congrong shook his head and said, "This is also why I am confused, but have you noticed that our ideas are all based on a premise that it should be so." ”

"Indeed. Feng Muge thought for a moment and replied.

"So, we can't think of anything about it alone. It just so happened that when I went back, I had to pass by Mulian Town and Pinggu County, and I went to see Li Kun by the way, and I would know if I asked. Shen calmly did not intend to make useless guesses.

After a day's inspection, Shen Congrong was very satisfied with the current situation of Fancheng's reconstruction, and commended all ministries at dinner.

After the commendation, Shen said calmly: "At present, Fancheng has returned to the right track, but it has not yet fully recovered, and all ministries still need to work together to restore the past as soon as possible and make people's livelihood prosperous." For some of the support needed in the reconstruction of Fancheng, such as tax reductions and exemptions, etc., I still need to work out the details with His Majesty after I return to the court, and tomorrow, I will return to the court to resume my life, so you should be patient and wait for some time. Fu Wei I will stay, Hu Liu, as a spirit animal that protects the country, if there is anything that is difficult for manpower, or if you encounter something that is not long-eyed, just go to them. ”

After arranging everything in Fancheng, Shen Congrong can finally go back to resume his life, this time he has been in Python Mountain for more than a month, and there are only twelve days left before he takes over as the supervisor of Qintian, and he has to prepare gifts or something in advance, if he doesn't go back, I'm afraid it will be delayed.

After dinner, Shen calmly said to Han Channel: "Ziyue, tomorrow we will return to the dynasty to resume our lives, and the succession ceremony is coming, are you going with us, or?"

Han Qu didn't think about it and said, "Naturally, I went with Mr. ”

Shen calmly reminded: "We will walk a little slower, there are some other things to deal with on the way, Ziyue really doesn't have to go to the capital first?"

Han Qu smiled: "It's okay, you can just learn more from my husband, and my father said that I don't know how to assist Your Majesty in governing the country." ”

"Okay, let's set off from the main gate of Taishou Mansion at the beginning of tomorrow, before that, Ziyue has to deal with the things at hand. Han Qu insisted, and Shen Congrong did not refuse, after all, he originally asked.

Han Qu arched his hand and said, "Okay, I know, Mr. Xie reminds me." ”

After speaking, Han Qu went to the pavilion to arrange for the entourage to come with him.

At the beginning of the next day, at the request of Shen Congrong, there were no officials to see them off, and the group took two carriages and went to the direction of the Qin capital.

Before the beginning of the day, the carriage arrived in Mulian Town.

Lifting the curtain, Shen Congrong saw a large number of officials running on the street outside, and their faces were not very good-looking, as if something had happened.

Feng Muge also saw a column of officials running over from the other side and said, "Sir, it seems that there is an accident in the town again." ”

"It seems that yes, just ask Jin Yu specifically. Shen replied calmly.

Putting down the car curtain, Shen calmly said to Fu Wei who was driving: "Go to the town guard mansion." ”

Before arriving at the town guard's mansion, the guard at the gate recognized Shen Congrong this time, and after saluting and greeting, he went in to report.

Han Qu looked at the mansion gate and said, "I remember that there was a demon rebellion here before, right?"

Shen Congrong nodded and said: "Yes, we only went to Fancheng after solving the demon chaos here, and it was Liu Hu who was making trouble here at that time, but it was not his real body." ”

"Oh, I see, is this time to stay here to see how well you recover after the Demon Rebellion?" Han Qu continued to ask.

"There's a reason for that. Shen Congrong didn't tell Han Qu completely.

Soon, Jin Yu, who got the notification, ran out of it.

"I've seen Mr. Jin Yu saluted and said hello.

"Well, get up, go in and say. Shen calmly responded.

"Yes, sir, come with me. Jin Yu led Shen Congrong and the others into the mansion.

Before entering the reception room, Shen Congrong pointed to the Korean channel: "This is the son from South Korea, arrange a place for him to stay." ”

Han Qu knew that Shen Congrong didn't want him to know too much about business, so he said to Jin Yu: "It's troublesome to guard the lord." ”

Jin Yu replied: "Yes, I understand the lowly position. ”

Calling the steward, Jin Yu said: "Take this Korean son down to rest." ”

After arranging Han Qu, Jin Yu took Shen Congrong and the two into the reception room.

After sitting down, Shen said calmly: "When I entered the town, I saw the officials with solemn faces, running in groups on the streets, and the masses seemed to know, is there something going on in the town again?"

Jin Yu nodded with a wry smile and said, "Yes, Mr. is meticulous in his observations, and there is indeed an accident in the town again." ”

"Let's talk about it. Unexpectedly, Shen calmly motioned to Jin Yu to recount the incident.

Jin Yu said: "That's the case, half a month ago, a husband's family came to report the case, saying that the husband didn't go home. Originally, we thought it was nothing, so we asked them to wait first, maybe there was something urgent and left suddenly. But three days later, when the family came back to report that they hadn't returned, we realized that something was wrong and started a town-wide search. After searching for more than ten days, I finally found the body of my husband yesterday. ”

Jin Yu paused for a moment and continued: "We found the body in Hu Yiyuan, he was nailed to the screen with his lantern, and Miss Zhu said that it was done by demons. We searched Hu Yiyuan inside and out, and found a hidden pill box in the dark compartment of the folding room, Miss Zhu said that the pill inside was called the Six Turns True Yang Pill, which can help the spirit transform and improve cultivation. We guess that the demon came to Hu Yiyuan because he knew about the existence of this elixir, and was accidentally discovered by the husband, which led to the murder of the husband. Because the elixir was still in Hu Yiyuan, Miss Zhu suggested that we use the elixir as a game to capture the spirits, but no spirits came last night. However, the elixir is still in our hands, and they will definitely come back, so in order to prevent any accidents or cause panic among the people, I asked the officials to step up patrols, pay attention to suspicious people, and did not tell the people. ”

"Six-turn True Yang Pill, Hu Yiyuan, the husband who was killed by the demon?" Shen Congrong felt that it was not right, Hu Yiyuan had personally searched after getting rid of Liu Hu's clone, and they did not find anything suspicious, let alone the hidden pill.

If the incident happened half a month ago, when it was the day when he went to Python Mountain, and Liu Hu really left Python Mountain at that time, then this case is very likely to be committed by Liu Huzhen.

But if this is the case, why did Liu Hu come back to Hu Yiyuan, and why didn't he take it away for the sake of the elixir?

And it was the second floor where Zhu Xinwen was in charge of the search at that time, why didn't the pill be found in the folding room at that time?

If it was the elixir left by Liu Hu, it must have been left for someone, and it was impossible that it hadn't been taken away today.

The problem is too big, no matter how you think about it, Shen Congrong decided to go to the scene to take a look, and ask Zhu Xinwen by the way.

"Where is Zhu Xinwen now?" Shen calmly asked Jin Yu.

Jin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Miss Zhu should be guarding the pill in Hu Yiyuan now. ”

"Let's go, go to Hu Yiyuan. "It's just right, no need to deliberately let people call Zhu Xinwen, Shen calmly got up and said.

Pushing open the door of Hu Yiyuan, Shen Congrong found that the lobby had been tidied up very neatly, and the previous broken tables and stools had been propped up. On the screen, the body of the husband was gone, leaving only some corrupted body fluids, telling others that there was another corpse here.

"Who made this recover?" asked Shen Congrong with a frown.

Jin Yu replied: "It's Miss Zhu, what's wrong?"

Shen calmly scolded: "Everything is cleaned up, isn't it obvious to tell others that this place has been discovered?

Jin Yu grinned, knowing that he had indeed made the lowest mistake, but he still defended: "The corpse has been rotting for a long time, and it doesn't look good on the screen, after his family saw it, they told him to take it back for burial, we can't help but give it, the corpse is gone, the scene has been destroyed, we don't care about anything else, and we will all clean it up." ”

"Hmph. Shen Congrong snorted, glanced around and didn't see Zhu Xinwen, and asked, "What about Zhu Xinwen, didn't you say that she was guarding the pill here?"

Seeing that Shen Congrong did not continue to be furious, Jin Yu also breathed a sigh of relief.

Hearing Shen Congrong ask where Zhu Xinwen was, he also looked around and said suspiciously: "Yes, Miss Zhu took the initiative to ask Ying to guard the pill here today, and she also said that she was worried that those demons would come during the day, why didn't we see her come out when we arrived?"

Feng Muge ran his eyes and looked Hu Yiyuan up and down, inside and out, and did not find any spiritual power fluctuations, indicating that Zhu Xinwen was indeed not here.

"Sir, I've seen it, not only is she not there, but I haven't noticed the breath of the pill. Feng Muge said in a low voice.

Originally, Shen Congrong felt that everything was wrong with this incident, but now that Zhu Xinwen was gone, it made her feel even more that there was some conspiracy in it, and since Zhu Xinwen was not there at the moment, she could only press it first.

"Take me to Zangdan and the place you laid out. Shen calmly shouted to Jin Yu, who was still searching everywhere.

"Yes. Come with me, sir. Although Jin Yu didn't understand why he suddenly didn't look for Zhu Xinwen, he didn't dare to ask more, and took Shen Congrong and them to the folding room.

Moved the cabinet, revealing the hidden compartment hidden behind, Jin Yu said: "The pill was found here, and the pill was placed in a small box at that time, and after Miss Zhu called me over, I took it out with my own hands." ”

Feng Muge stepped forward to check it and found that this dark grid was newly dug out, and there was no Dan Qi left in it. And the dark grid is extremely rough, just a hole, without its own lid, just covered with a cabinet, if such a crude Tibetan Dandi can hide from the spirits, it is completely nonsense, so it seems that Zhu Xinwen has done a ghost in this matter.

Retreating to Shen Congrong's side, Feng Muge said in a low voice: "Dark Ge is new, very rough, it won't take more than two days, it seems that Zhu Xinwen made it, and that pill should also be her own." ”

Shen calmly nodded and replied: "It seems that part of my guess has been verified, in this matter, Zhu Xinwen must have played an important role, she deliberately stayed in Hu Yiyuan just to separate from Jin Yu and them, so that she could make arrangements and complete this so-called demon seizure." But why did she do this? Could it be that the husband was not killed by Liu Hu but by her? No, if she had killed her, how could she have let the corpse go here for so long?"

There are too many doubts in this, and Zhu Xinwen's behavior alone is too abnormal.

Hearing Shen Congrong mention Liu Hu, Feng Muge asked, "Mr. thinks that Liu Hu killed the husband?"

Shen calmly replied: "It's just this possibility, and it's very likely, the time when the husband was killed happened to be the day we went up the mountain, and Liu Hu's real body was no longer on Python Mountain at that time, but I don't know why Liu Hu came back to Hu Yiyuan." In short, there are still many doubts, but Zhu Xinwen must know a lot, and the breakthrough point of everything still has to fall on Zhu Xinwen. ”

"I didn't expect this Zhu Xinwen to still have a secret, and she shouldn't have agreed to her conditions at that time. Thinking that Zhu Xinwen must have been involved in these things, Feng Muge was a little angry, obviously giving her so many benefits, and actually making these moths.

Shen said calmly: "Okay, okay, she also made a great contribution at that time, if it weren't for her, the villagers would have been transported away by Liu Hu's doppelganger at that time." ”

They discussed in a low voice, but Jin Yu next to him was very embarrassed, he didn't know whether to speak or what to say, so he could only stand there and wait for Shen Congrong to call him.

After the discussion, Shen Congrong looked at Jin Yu, who was standing aside and was quite embarrassed, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have made some small discoveries, now let's go and see where Zhu Xinwen has laid out." ”

Finally called himself, Jin Yu hurriedly said, "Yes, Mr. come with me." ”

When Shen Congrong and their side were observing in Hu Yiyuan, Zhu Xinwen came to Kuyuan Mountain.

Kuyuan Mountain, originally a stronghold of the doppelganger Liu Hu, there are a large number of spirits here who have been transformed by Liu Hu's favor, and they are all under Liu Hu's orders.

Zhu Xinwen was a capable officer of Liu Hu at that time, and these spirits also knew Zhu Xinwen.

Seeing Zhu Xinwen coming, a spirit came up and said, "Sister Zhu, is it that the master finally has any orders, more than half a month has passed, and we thought that the master didn't want us anymore." ”

It turned out that these spirits lived on Kuyuan Mountain, and Liu Hu had always let them stay on the mountain and follow their orders, so they had never gone down Kuyuan Mountain, and naturally they didn't know that Liu Hu was dead.

Facing the spirit's inquiry, Zhu Xinwen nodded and said, "That's right, the master did give a new order." ”

The spirit rubbed his hands excitedly and said, "Really, is this mission going down the mountain, I've been on this mountain for so many years, and I've wanted to go down for a long time." ”

Zhu Xinwen smiled and said: "Yes, it is indeed to go down the mountain, and not just one person, you go and call three more people, and I will tell you about the task." Be careful, don't let anyone else know. ”

The spirit nodded again and again: "Don't worry, Sister Zhu, I know what to do, you just wait here for a while, I'll call someone." ”

Looking at the back of the spirit monster leaving excitedly, Zhu Xinwen breathed a sigh of relief and said in her heart: "Don't blame me, blame you for being Liu Hu's subordinates, but how did Liu Hu do it, he was able to get out of control, do these little demons really not know?"

Soon, the departing spirit ran over with three companions and said, "Sister Zhu, someone has found it, and it didn't alarm the others, let's talk about this mission." ”

Zhu Xinwen said: "That's the case, the master killed a person in Mulian Town under the mountain, unfortunately this person's body was discovered, the master can't be exposed now, and I just mixed into the human court, and the court gave me the task of solving this matter." For the sake of the master's great cause, I must solve this matter perfectly, so I need your cooperation with me. ”

The spirit didn't understand so much, and said directly: "Sister Zhu, you just say what you need us to do, for the sake of the master, even if we die, there is no problem." ”

Zhu Xinwen nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's not that I want you to die, but whether you can go depends on your ability, and I will keep your hands appropriately." Now I'm going to tell you more about the plan. ”

"At the beginning of tonight, I will lay an ambush in Hu Yiyuan, and I will put this pill in the center of the hall, and when the time comes, you can enter from anywhere, snatch this pill, and run away when you get the pill. After you appear, the people of the court and I will start attacking, you must move quickly, if you manage to escape, this elixir will be given to you. But pay attention, although I will keep my hand, but the people of the court are not necessarily, when the time comes, you must bite to death to kill the husband for the sake of the elixir, and you can't expose the master and me, understand?" Zhu Xinwen showed the style of the pill box and told the spirits about the task.

The spirits nodded again and again, "Yes, understood." ”

"Well, that's good. Zhu Xinwen was very satisfied with the response of the spirits.

"But, Sister Zhu, when is Zichu, and where is Hu Yiyuan?" the spirit asked cautiously.

Only then did Zhu Xinwen realize that the spirit didn't know these things, and thought for a while: "As long as you hear the sound of a slow and fast banging outside, it is Zichu, I will open the pill box, you just need to follow the Dan Qi to find Hu Yiyuan, have you written it down?"

The spirits replied: "Write it down, write it down, Sister Zhu, don't worry, I guarantee that the task will be completed smoothly." ”

"Well, that's good, I'm out of the court, I can't leave for too long, otherwise it will make them suspicious, I'll go back first, tonight, it's up to you. After Zhu Xinwen arranged everything, he left Kuyuan Mountain and returned to Hu Yiyuan.

Back in Hu Yiyuan, Zhu Xinwen found Shen Congrong and them standing in the hall, and said secretly in her heart: "Oops, why did they come back?"

Walking closer, Zhu Xinwen saluted: "Why did Mr. come back suddenly?"

Shen calmly glanced at her and said: "The demon chaos in Python Mountain has been completely solved, Liu Hu and Zhou Tu'an have also been ambushed, I should also go back to Beijing to report on work, just passing through Mulian Town, I will see how the recovery is, and I found that there is actually a demon chaos here." ”

Zhu Xinwen lowered his head and said: "It's Xinwen who protects the town and is not good, and he actually let the demon harm people, and ask Mr. to punish him." ”

Shen Congrong waved his hand and said: "There is no need to be like this, no one can predict everything, and no one can let the demon chaos not happen at all, I heard Jin Yu say, the demon is coming for the six-turn True Yang Pill you found?"

Zhu Xinwen picked up the pill box and handed it to Shen Congrong and said, "Yes, this is what I found in the secret compartment of the folding room. ”

Taking the pill box, Shen Congrong opened it and looked at it, sniffing the smell: "The color is like white jade, there is a dan qi, the smell is fragrant, and it is slightly dry, it is indeed a six-turn true yang pill." ”

Closing the pill box again and returning it to Zhu Xinwen, Shen said calmly: "I remember that before we left Mulian Town, we searched Hu Yiyuan together, why didn't we find this six-turn True Yang Pill at that time?"

Zhu Xinwen's eyes shrank, and after thinking for a while, he said: "This, Xinwen also doesn't understand very well, at that time, Xinwen did check all the places on the second floor, but he really didn't find this pill." It wasn't until yesterday that the body of the missing husband was searched and Hu Yiyuan was re-searched, and the pill was discovered. At that time, it was Xinwen who searched unfavorably, and asked Mr. to punish him. ”

Zhu Xinwen's statement was reluctant and reliable, Shen Congrong didn't particularly embarrass her, and said: "Okay, don't talk about punishment, I also heard Jin Yu say your plan, I have a few questions I want to ask you." ”

"Sir, please. Zhu Xinwen was relieved to see that she had passed the test in confusion and replied.

Shen said calmly: "You are cleaning this hall, and you are going to put the pill on this table, making it clear that this is your game, if you are a demon who committed murder, will you come when you see this scene?"
