Heavenly Dao Formula

In the early morning of the next day, residents of Gaoshan County witnessed a strange scene.

I saw two people wearing black robes of alchemists pushing a small cart, hanging banners, walking along the market area, and shouting as they walked to collect clues about the evil spirit of the day before yesterday. No matter who saw or heard strange Even if it seems to have nothing to do with evil, but as long as it is abnormal or bizarre enough, you can tell them, and regardless of whether it is useful or not, you can get ten copper coins as a reward. If it is considered useful, it will be one hundred pieces.

And what was loaded in that car was a box full of copper coins.

This kind of good deed, which is almost equivalent to giving money for free, immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the people, and everyone flocked to it, forming a large circle around the car.

"My lord, I have something to say! There was an abnormal noise at the Wang family next door that night!"

"My lord, I saw Zhang Mazi secretly carrying something up the back mountain!"

"Get out of the way, I came first!"

"I know this too, why do you monopolize this hundred articles?"

"My lord, I am the Wang family next door. I really have nothing to do with Xie Chong!"

All kinds of voices came and went, some were vying to tell the clues, and some were vying over who said the same thing first. The enthusiasm of the crowd was beyond imagination, and there was a tendency to develop from verbal communication to zero-distance greetings.

"Get out of the way, everyone avoid me!" Suddenly a team of yamen servants rushed into the crowd and dispersed the gathered crowd, the leader of which was the arrester who had led the alchemist to the scene of the crime.

"I have seen the two adults..." Seeing the standard black robes of the Privy Council, he immediately restrained his voice, bowed respectfully and bowed, "I wonder what investigation you are doing?"

"What else can it be, of course it's evil." It was Xia Fan who answered him, "Why, I shouldn't be hurting anyone by doing this, right?"

"Uh..." The head catcher glanced at the eagerly awaited crowd, and said with a little embarrassment, "Whatever you want to ask, you can just ask them directly, why spend so much money. Now that it's done like this, I'm afraid it will happen later. It affects the smooth flow of roads. Besides, if you want to investigate the case, you can go to the Yamen, and the county magistrate and Dian Shi will definitely cooperate with you."

"I don't think they know all about the situation in the county. Besides, what I want to know will definitely not be recorded, so I won't bother the yamen."

"But my lord, the evil has been wiped out." The other party bit the bullet and said.

"But who can guarantee that they won't appear again? What I want to collect this time is any signs that may indicate the appearance of evil spirits. What, do you want to hinder the Privy Council's work?"

"Why, I dare not-"

"Then I will continue."

Xia Fan pushed the cart through a group of yamen servants, and shouted to the crowd, "Do you have any weird things to say?"

"My lord, I have it!"

"Please listen to me first!"

Everyone quickly gathered around again.

They all understood a truth, that is, the head arrester dared not stop the Privy Council alchemist at all.

Then no amount of yamen servants can stop him from getting this money for nothing.

The same thing happened at the entrance of the county seat, but the people pushing the carts over there were replaced by Wang Renzhi and Shangguancai.

"Brother Xia, can we really collect any useful evidence like this?" Amidst the din, Wei Wushuang took the time to approach Xia Fan and asked, "Although it sounds strange, how can we verify it? I feel that there is no way to piece together these fragmentary rumors into a reliable testimony in one day."

"It's okay, because everything we do is just propaganda." Xia Fan said with a slight smile. He didn't expect that the most supportive of his investigation would be Young Master Wang. As soon as he proposed this idea, he immediately took the initiative to pay for it.

"publicity?"

"Exactly, so questioning is not the point, the point is how to cause a sensation in the shortest possible time and spread the news of the investigation throughout the county."

"But just in case... I mean, in case it's as you guessed, brother Xia, wouldn't doing this be a warning?"

"If we can't see the snake, then it's a waste of time to fetch water from the bamboo basket, but if we can see it, the moment the snake moves, we will reveal our own figure."

"See?" Wei Wushuang asked puzzled, "Is it here?"

"Don't worry, you'll know when the time comes."

...

"Is that really what those guys said?"

In the house in the government office, Hu Huairen frowned after listening to the arrester's report.

"Yes, the next word has not been changed."

What kind of play is this again? A few new alchemists want to know the whole story of the evil incident? Could it be that there is something wrong with the Privy Council? Or was it because of the deaths of the two alchemist companions that made them want to do their best?

What a fool! Hu Zhixian couldn't help cursing in his heart, how many times he told those two people to follow the rules, who knew that such mistakes could happen!

Didn't they really find some clues?

In particular, the phrase "Things you want to know must not be recorded", no matter how you look at it, you feel that it is meaningful.

In addition, he can understand other alchemists, why the second son of the Wang family also participated in it? Does that guy know what his father does?

No, he had to write a letter to tell Wang Yian immediately.

"My lord, are you... all right?" the head catcher asked cautiously.

"Nonsense, what can I do! Go down, don't worry about them anymore!" Hu Huairen returned to the desk and unfolded a piece of rice paper, only to find that his palms were sweating. No... Be calm, the possibility of them finding out the truth is very slim, and it is even more impossible to ask the locals for anything. He has to write to the Wang family first, and then deal with the matter of the grotto.

After briefly explaining the whole story, he folded the letter and handed it to a servant outside the door, "Immediately give it to the Wang family of Jinxia City, and let their master personally open it. Go!"

Then Hu Huairen walked to the backyard and called his subordinates Du Mingjin and Du Mingyin over.

As soon as he saw the two people appearing, he became very angry. If it weren't for these two idiots, how could there be such an accident in the Privy Council!

"Are you sure you weren't found when you went up the mountain in those few days?"

"Master, we can guarantee it!" The Du brothers also knew that they had made a big mistake, and they didn't dare to breathe. "In those few days, we set off at night, and we were absolutely not seen. Even Orion, there was no one night." up the mountain."

"Okay, let me give you another chance. Go to the grotto today, get rid of everything inside, and seal the door to make sure no one can find it."

"But... once the stone door is sealed, it will be difficult to open it again. In case someone finds you again..."

"That's a matter for the future, and we can figure out a way later!" Hu Huairen scolded, "I don't want to hear any more news about the evil before I know the attitude of the Privy Council. If you understand, then do as I say! If this time If you mess up again, I'll put you two in!"

"Yes, master, we will definitely do it!" The Du brothers nodded hurriedly.

"get out!"

"Please wait a moment, my lord," at this moment, a clear and gentle female voice interrupted Hu Zhixian's words.

The two raised their heads and their eyes lit up.

I saw a tall and beautiful woman coming out of the back room, with a high bun on her head, and her collar was opened to both sides, revealing her white neck and half of her collarbone. She held a wooden plate of wine in her hands, and every small step revealed a sense of charm, but her appearance was as pure and refined as a lotus emerging from water. The mixture of two completely different feelings makes every frown and smile of this woman full of incredible charm.
