I Killed Gods and Demons in Song Dynasty

Chapter 92: Bao Longtu

Hearing this, Xu Liang smiled slightly and said:

"It happened that yesterday, the Shanxi people received the case from my fourth uncle, and they first went to investigate a small gang called Jinfengxiyulou. After just a few questions, someone there suddenly changed his color, wanting to redeem himself for meritorious service, so they took us directly to the 'Hualong Pool'. At that time, we caught the criminals and the evidence was solid, so the case was closed immediately.

"Perhaps it is because these bastards did so many evil things that they deserved their misfortune, which saved the people of Shanxi a lot of worry."

So smooth?

Li Qingyun immediately became suspicious.

If he didn't know that the real owner behind the "Dragon Pool" was Pang Yu, he would never doubt the truth of the whole thing.

After all, Jinfengxiyuelou is just a second-rate underworld gang, with members of varying qualities and a mix of good and bad. How could it be possible for something like this to be impenetrable?

But this case actually involves the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Fang Shuan once said that there are countless talented people and masters there. How could such a mistake happen?

Moreover, there are even strong people around Pang Yu who can conceal the secrets. How is it possible that the location of the Dragon Pool could be found easily by a few ordinary gang members, and they were able to find it accurately after checking it?
Things here are probably not that simple.

While he was daydreaming, Xu Liang patted him on the shoulder and said:

"I heard that you also solved the case of Gaosheng Inn and found new clues about the Wu Shi Cult. Well done! The Shanxi people still have a lot of messes to deal with. I will come to celebrate your success after I finish dealing with them."

Having said that, he hurried away.

Li Qingyun looked at Xu Liang's back and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

Could it be that Pang Yu knew that his "Dragon Pool" might be exposed, so he deliberately made a fake one to cover up his tracks?

Even his pretentious behavior in Zuiyanglou the night before was a foreshadowing of this?
But if you want to deceive a smart and capable top figure like Xu Liang, you need some real stuff. And it seems that Kaifeng Prefecture has also experienced a bloody battle, so it is not so easy to succeed.

If this is true, then Pang Yu has invested a lot of money, which shows that he is decisive, scheming, and clever. He is definitely a difficult character to deal with, and he is not like the arrogant young man he showed that night.

When Li Qingyun thought of this possibility, he felt it was more and more reasonable. He couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart and a chill down his spine. He hoped that he was just worrying too much.

He sighed softly, feeling that he needed to find a way to confirm this matter further, but on the one hand he didn't know where to start, and on the other hand he didn't have much energy to deal with other cases now. He could only choose to trust Xu Liang first, hoping that he could interrogate and find out some new clues and not close the case so easily.

Then, he saw Bai Yunrui...

"Qingyun, come with me."

When Bai Yunrui saw Li Qingyun, he pulled him to a secluded room and asked suspiciously:

"There were so many things going on yesterday that I forgot to ask you, how did you know that the corpse's name was Liu Changyou?
"Also, how do you know that carving a name on the puppet can release Liu Changyou's sealed soul?"

Li Qingyun had already thought of his words, and replied calmly:

"I have a source of information. The other party is the envoy of the Wushi Sect..."

Seeing Bai Yunrui's gradually deepening eyes, he smiled awkwardly, and then recounted the whole story. Of course, Li Qingyun did not tell the truth completely. He said that everything he saw in the divination screen yesterday was the information revealed to him by Madam Wei, but this did not affect the logic of the facts. It was just a harmless lie.

Bai Yunrui listened quietly without saying a word, but a frosty coldness gradually appeared on his handsome face with clear outlines.

After Li Qingyun finished speaking, he asked in a deep voice:
"Is the news reliable?"

Li Qingyun shook his head:
"To be honest, I don't know. Maybe he and Qiu Wang are in the same group and they are working together to set a trap for us."

Bai Yunrui frowned:
"I need to meet her and confirm the news in person. But no matter what, we already know that Qiu Wang is arranging the God's Descent Ceremony, and it is possible that something big will happen at any time. Since there are no other clues, we might as well take a risk and give it a try..."

Uh, he likes to act on his instincts, but he is full of adventurous spirit. This is very Bai Yunrui... Li Qingyun complained in his heart, and then said:

"This matter is of great importance. Let's not rush into making a decision. Let Fourth Uncle Jiang make the decision first."

Unexpectedly, Bai Yunrui did not refute, but nodded:

"I'll go find my fourth uncle right now, and then gather some people, and we'll explore the Worry-Free Cave."

In fact, there is no need to be so anxious. Qiu Wang still lacks the essence of the gods to arrange the ceremony.

Well, but he might have gotten it from somewhere else. Although this thing is rare, even the Wu Shi Sect has one, so it shouldn’t be that rare… Thinking of this, Li Qingyun felt a little heavier in his heart, and nodded.
"I'll go check the spirit seeds with Fourth Brother Lu first, and then I'll meet up with you guys later."

……

Li Qingyun sat with Lu Zhen for a while, and as expected, the two received news that Jiang Ping, the rat in the river, wanted to call everyone to a meeting.

Following the fans to the back hall, Li Qingyun saw an old man in his sixties sitting on the main seat. He was wearing a red official uniform, but no official hat on his head, and his hair was casually tied into a bun.

This man had a dark face and was slightly fat, but his forehead was full, his nose was high and his mouth was wide, his ears were big and square, and he had three strands of black beard under his chin. He had a full aura, was dignified and majestic, and he was intimidating without even getting angry.

Jiang Ping sat next to the old man, looking at his nose and his heart, with a very respectful expression.

This person should be the prefect of Kaifeng, Bao Zheng, the Grand Secretary of Longtu Pavilion... Li Qingyun thought secretly in his mind, and quickly found a chair to sit down, not daring to act rashly.

In terms of official position, Bao Zheng was a second-rank official and the founding marquis of Donghai County. He was in a high position and had great power, and was also the boss of his boss.

In terms of cultivation and strength, this university scholar is a "scholar" of the fourth level of Confucianism. Even in the city of Bianliang, he is considered a master.

After everyone was seated, Jiang Ping stood up, pointed to the portrait nailed to the wooden board behind him, and said seriously:

"Today, we have invited you all here because of an important event. We have received news that Qiu Wang of the Wu Shi Sect is planning a 'God's Descent' ceremony in Wuyou Cave.

"If he succeeds, the entire Bianliang City will be in ruins. Therefore, this case is now listed as the highest level. Everyone should put down their work and wait for instructions."

As he said that, he looked at Bai Yunrui, "Yunrui, you have been in charge of this case. Now you come to sort out the whole thing for everyone."
