Now that Jiang Yuanchen said in his words that he would maintain the Lin Mansion, then they would not secretly do anything to search him, and after Lin Yuanzhao thought about it, he acquiesced to what the two did, and at the same time gathered all the family members and slaves in the lobby to facilitate the two of them.

With such a big movement, Wang Zhutou outside also broke in with a few disguised catchers.
"Dao Chief, do you need our help?" Wang Zhutou held his fist with a knife.
"No, you just wait and see. "Jiang Yuanchen is different from Lin Zixuan, and he has no sense of trust in these mansions from the beginning.
"The two Taoist elders are golden, and the body of this search is handed over to the inferior people. Wang Zhutou hurriedly asked for his life.
"Poor Dao said no, doesn't Wang Zhutou understand?" Jiang Yuanchen's face gradually turned cold: "Wang Zhutou, it is not known whether this matter has anything to do with the Lin Mansion, how can you break into the house and disturb the purity of the Lin Mansion?"
Lin Yuanzhao also slapped the table angrily and said: "The old man also has a viscount title sealed by His Majesty, and if he wants to blatantly search the old man's mansion, he also asked Lord Zhang to take the certificate, or invite Shangfeng to say it." "The last time I came to search, I still waited for the Lin family to go to the banquet as guests, and came to the door to put pressure on those servants and slaves who couldn't be the master, so I reluctantly searched.
"What my father said is very true, otherwise you people will do something during the search, who will we talk to when the time comes?"
Don't be kidding, now that the murder case is not solved, the people in the city are panicking, if Zhang Zheng makes up his mind to take the Lin Mansion to the top of the cylinder, then it is not simple to fabricate some evidence casually? The Lin Mansion is also from an official family, how can this method not be known?
"My immortal family's collection is very different from the mortal world's methods, Brother Wang, let's wait here. Lin Zixuan's words turned Wang Zhutou and the others back, and let them also stand in the lobby to watch their spells.
The Qing Ying Sword flew out of Lin Zixuan's sleeve, flew into the air and continued to rotate, enveloping the Lin Mansion with a long and clear air, using this sword as a guide to spread Lin Zixuan's divine thoughts throughout the Lin Mansion Mansion.
"Wang Zhutou, you have been handling cases for many years, you should understand what the most important part of the so-called case is, right?" Jiang Yuanchen sat back in his chair and asked quietly.
"It's motivation. ”
"Yes, more than a dozen murders have been committed one after another, what do you think is the motive of the Lin Mansion?" Jiang Yuanchen seemed to smile: "Don't say any personal grudges, although those people have some relationship with the Lin Mansion, but the Lin Mansion will kill a gangster in the market in order to lose a hosta? Wouldn't it be better to solve it with the power of the official government? The Lin Mansion would cut off people's tongues for the sake of a matchmaker who slandered them? Well, although there are some possibilities among the famous nobles, they don't dare to be so blatant. And the young woman who has a bit of ** with Lin Ergongzi, it seems that there is no need to be a killer, right?
The second son of the Lin family waved the folding fan in his hand: "Mrs. Chen and I are just painting friends, and we have some resonance in poetry and painting, but there is no further thing." ”
"Yes, although the dozen or so murders are all related to my Lin Mansion, but for that little quarrel, I have to kill people, then I, Lin Yuanzhao, will not be a supreme minister in the end!" Lin Yuanzhao snorted and said: "To put it mildly, the old man's strength lies not in killing people but in authority, and at that time, it is better to suppress them in the way of the government than to kill people directly!"
"Interests, things that have no interests at all, our Lin Mansion is not a so-called murderer!"
This family is not stupid, it can still be in danger at this juncture, presumably Lin Yuanzhao has already sent someone to inform his friends from the past, right?
Jiang Yuanchen secretly guessed, and said: "The New Year is approaching, and now there is such a big series of murders in the city, if the case can't really be decided or a person is convicted, then who is the unlucky person in the end?"
Since all the clues now point to the Lin Mansion, if Zhang Zheng wants to end the murder case, he can only drag the Lin Mansion and others into the water. Lin Yuanzhao has some influence on the side of the imperial court, but if the Taixu Dao Sect intervenes, then Lin Yuanzhao can only bow down. Even if Lin Yuanzhao was looking for someone to ask for help, it would be impossible to fight against the power of the Taixu Dao Sect.
Zhang Zheng's abacus was very loud, since mortals can't detect anything from it, then ask someone from the Taixu Dao Sect to collect it! If the Taixu Dao Sect can't find out the truth, then it shows that this is not Zhang Zheng's incompetence, but a higher level of power to intervene.
In other words, no matter whether Jiang Yuanchen and the others can find out the truth or not, in the end, Zhang Zheng has an excuse to deal with the upper echelons. The so-called inviting the two of them to investigate the case is nothing more than wanting to use the name of the two of them as a shield for themselves.
As for the truth? Does it matter if the truth has its own official position? This kind of major murder case has a great impact, even if the imperial court will also ask about it, and if Zhang Zheng cannot give a satisfactory answer at that time, there is only one way to go by being dismissed from his official position. Only by leading the water of disaster to the outside can he have a way to live.
Jiang Yuanchen understood these indiscriminate practices of the mortal officials from the beginning, so he didn't want to involve the power of the Dao Sect from beginning to end. But he couldn't stand Lin Zixuan's actions on the side, and those murders did leave traces in Jiang Yuanchen's heart, which aroused his curiosity, and he had to completely end this matter for the sake of the consummation of the Dao Heart. Therefore, Jiang Yuanchen went against the norm and came to find out the truth, but he didn't dare to come in the name of Taixu Dao Sect.
But if you want to say that Jiang Yuanchen has any good feelings for Zhang Zheng, who calculates himself, it is impossible. Therefore, Jiang Yuanchen also hinted at Lin Yuanzhao between the words, and singled out Zhang Zheng, who was secretly looking for trouble.
Lin Yuanzhao is such a character, he has been in officialdom for a long time, and he also understands what Jiang Yuanchen means. Of course, he didn't have a good mind for Zhang Zheng, who wanted to close the case with himself, and after Jiang Yuanchen told him, he would find an opportunity to use his influence in the court to settle accounts with Zhang Zheng in the future.
Of course, no matter how Lin Yuanzhao settles with Zhang Zheng in the future, it has nothing to do with Jiang Yuanchen, and it is not Zhang Zheng who will use his strength to fight alone, Jiang Yuanchen only needs to reveal his attitude slightly, and someone will rush to block Zhang Zheng.
The mortal world is mortal, but as a disciple from the immortal sect, he only needs to maintain the indoctrination and rule of the Taixu Dao Sect in Lingzhou.
"Speaking of which, is there anything in the mansion that has anything to do with punishment?" Jiang Yuanchen said to Lin Yuanzhao: "This kind of alien hidden in the mansion, if it is not from a ghost, maybe it is some torture weapon to give birth to spiritual intelligence, right?"
"What do you mean by what the Taoist chief said?" Lin Yuanzhao was a little puzzled: "Something related to punishment?"
"The layman may not know that there are a total of fifteen murders in this city, and the first three of them did not cause a sensation because they were death row prisoners in the government prison, and they were deliberately pressed down. When Jiang Yuanchen said this, he didn't care about Wang Zhutou and the others on the side.
"If you just look at the last twelve murders, it does have some connection with the Lin Mansion, but if you count the first three death row prisoners, it has little to do with the Lin Mansion. Presumably, Wang Zhutou and others should also know it. ”
Wang Lang's face changed, and then he fell silent again. Yes, if you count the three death row inmates, why would Lin Fu be stupid enough to go to the prison to kill people? If there is really any grudge, just wait for them to be asked if they will be killed?
"Maybe someone in the Lin Mansion wants to practice the art of killing?" said a young catcher.
"Hmph!" The three fathers and sons of the Lin family all glared at the man, and quickly swallowed the next words under the anger of the three of them.
"The assassination of three death row inmates had little impact, but if this act is seen as 'punishment', the subsequent murders can also be seen from another perspective. Jiang Yuanchen banged on the table: "The gangster in the market had his arm broken for stealing and died of blood loss, isn't this a punishment for this pickpocket from another level?"
Lin Yuanzhao suddenly said: "What does the Taoist mean is that these people are all guilty and deserving? The reason why the matchmaker was cut off was because she was arranging others behind her back?"
"Poor Dao got the news, it seems that there were a few young ladies who committed suicide at home because they were slandered by the matchmaker, these things should be understood, right?"
"But those three young ladies all committed suicide, and they can't be convicted of Wang Po with rumors because of this. ”
"So, if someone takes action to solve the princess, isn't this a good thing to punish the evil?" Lin Ergongzi clapped his hands and applauded, after all, his sister was also slandered by the princess, hiding in the boudoir I don't know how many times she cried.
"The owner of the antique shop was a tomb robber, robbed people's graves, and was finally buried in the soil and suffocated to death, which is also a clear justice. Jiang Yuanchen talked about it: "And that young woman, the punishment for women is drowning, so there is no need to talk too much, right?"
"Dip the pig cage!" This time it was Mrs. Lin who said: "Dao Chief, is that woman really unchaste and unclean?"
"Well, it seems that I used to be unclear with a few married men. Jiang Yuanchen looked at Wang Zhutou and the others: "Why haven't you investigated these things properly?"
"Did the Dao Chief learn about it from that Excellency?" Wang Zhutou listened to Jiang Yuanchen's revelations, and carefully alluded to the land monarch of the Land Ancestral Hall.
"Yes," he told the poor. ”
"In other words, Jiang Daochang thinks that these people were killed in the name of 'punishing evil', but 'that person' got the news from the Lin Mansion, so the deceased had something to do with the Lin Mansion. Lin Yuanzhao thought about it: "What does the Taoist mean, that is not done by people, so it is a thing related to punishment to give birth to spiritual wisdom, or is it done by ghosts and gods?"
That's pretty much what it means, so Poor Dao has seen this kind of legend in some miscellaneous conversations. Coupled with the awe-inspiring righteousness hovering over your mansion, it must have been the work of a ghost, god and spirit related to punishment. ”
"If so, there is indeed something in the old man's hand that has something to do with punishment, and that thing-"
"Found it, in the study!" Lin Zixuan also used his divine thoughts to find the source of righteousness at this moment.
Jiang Yuanchen looked at Lin Yuanzhao with inquiring eyes, and Lin Yuanzhao smiled bitterly: "Yes, that thing is in the study, it is a black book that the old man took back not long ago." ”
Books and other things because of Taoism and education, with the wisdom of literature and thought, often have the birth of book immortals, book spirits, book demons and the like, even in the Taoist sect there are also many books of spiritual weapons.
Lin Zixuan, Jiang Yuanchen, Wang Zhutou and the two sons of the Lin family walked to the study under the leadership of Lin Yuanzhao, and said as they walked: "That book seems to be a century-old antiquity, but a book on the execution of death row prisoners that records the punishments of past dynasties, and it seems to be written by Wu Ziming himself." ”
Wu Ziming, Jiang Yuanchen and Lin Zixuan were stunned.
Jiang Yuanchen hurriedly said: "Wu Ziming, is that the famous calligrapher and painter a hundred years ago?"
"Yes, the handwriting seems to be the real one. ”
Lin Zixuan's face was strange, wasn't Wu Ziming an eighth-generation true disciple who died fifty years ago?
Jiang Yuanchen saw that Lin Zixuan's face was strange and understood what he was thinking, and secretly passed on a message to him: "Elder Sikong once mentioned to his junior brother that he has a fellow disciple who has entered the Tao with painting, and often travels in the world. ”
Hehe, everything can enter the Tao, and now he has actually encountered the legacy of a senior in his own family? Jiang Yuanchen felt a little weird, and when he arrived at the door of the study, he couldn't wait to push the door in.
However, Jiang Yuanchen wanted to go in first, but Lin Zixuan blocked him faster: "Be careful, let's come first for my brother." "In the end, Jiang Yuanchen's cultivation is not as good as his own, and this kind of thing should come forward by himself.
The Qing Ying Sword stood in front of him, and the cultivation of the Great Perfection of the Foundation was completely released, aiming at a special killing aura in the study. A black-skinned book was suspended in the center of the study, and bursts of evil qi were used to lock and eliminate Lin Zixuan's spiritual sense.
"Is this the book?" Jiang Yuanchen asked.
"Yes, this is it!" Lin Yuanzhao's face was ugly, and he couldn't help but be a little afraid. If there is really anything wrong with this book, the lives of my family will be hanging in the balance.
Jiang Yuanchen saw Lin Zixuan in front of him to resist all the evil attacks, and stood on tiptoe and patted Lin Zixuan's shoulder. "Senior brother, leave this matter to the younger brother. Shi Shiran walked into the study from behind Lin Zixuan, and was about to pick up the black book.
The black book shook, and a bloody light rushed towards Jiang Yuanchen.
