After the Fairy Disappeared

  Chapter 517 Mi Feng

  Fan Sheng had a twitch of veins on his forehead, tried his best to suppress his anger, and only asked about the big event that happened just now: "Zhong Sunmou was swallowed by the monster he wanted?"

   On the way back, his subordinates had already reported to him the story of Zhong Sunmou's accident.

  Fan Sheng was also taken aback.

  Zhong Sunmou had an accident, and he was also in Baisha. When this matter is investigated later, he will be involved.

  Then I have to account for everything I do here.

  Magistrate Tian's face became even more bitter. Or, let him resign to the monarch and return to his hometown? "Yes, yes, that thing swallowed Mr. Zhongsun in one gulp, sneaked into the sand and escaped."

  No matter how much Fan Sheng hated He Lingchuan, he had no choice but to ask: "Is that really the murderer you are after?"

"I didn't see it personally. We were wrestling in the Lotus Palace at that time, remember?" He Lingchuan shrugged, "But according to the testimonies of the villagers, the monster who robbed Zhong Sunmou was very similar to the one used by Mai Xuewen. The demon-hunting snail toad."

  As well-informed as Fan Sheng, he also found it inconceivable: "This guy surnamed Mai has escaped, why did he come back to rob Zhong Sunmou?"

   "Who knows, maybe he also wants to take revenge." He Lingchuan smiled, "Maybe Master Zhongsun also hindered him?"

also?

   This is talking to him, Fan Sheng was about to scold him with furious eyebrows, but He Lingchuan took the lead again: "Now even the patrol envoy has been taken away, Master Fan thinks, how will Lingxu City handle this matter?"

   This is a serious issue, and it is also the most important issue at the moment. Fan Sheng's anger was suppressed, and he thought for a while: "Once it is reported, it will be a major issue, and it must be investigated until the truth comes to light."

First, the white-shouldered eagle who sent the letter to the front line disappeared, and then the inspector who handled the case was swallowed in broad daylight. This gave Lingxu City two consecutive big blows. After the left cheek was beaten and the right cheek, how could the emperor swallow it Take this breath?

  The majesty of Lingxu City cannot be challenged.

   "We will definitely send special envoys down to investigate the case." The disappearance of the white-shouldered eagle may have been an accident, but Zhong Sunmou's death, thousands of pairs of eyes here have seen it for real, and Lingxu will never ignore it again. At that time, there will be a special person to handle the special case, strictly investigate and handle it, and it will not be as casual as Zhong Sunmou's investigation.

   It's a big mess.

  He Lingchuan asked him again: "So, what about the personnel and physical evidence already involved in the case?"

   "Of course they must all be detained, and they are not allowed to leave Baishahuang." Having said this, Fan Sheng let out a depressed breath. This seems to include himself.

   This time he wanted to repay Zhongsun's family favor, but in the end he was covered in blood, so why bother?

  He Lingchuan saw his annoyance, but believed his previous statement a little bit, so he didn't say much at the moment, turned and left.

   "Are you okay?" Jiao Yu saw that his clothes were half red.

   "It's something, it really hurts." Being injured is commonplace, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't know the pain, not to mention that the painkiller effect of Shi Tuo powder has passed, "But I have to go somewhere first."

   County magistrate Tian was very considerate. Seeing that the special envoy was injured, he even arranged a carriage for him despite his busy schedule.

   As a result, He Lingchuan went to look for Lu Dutong to return to Jia Yu, so he boarded the carriage and walked northwest along the shore of the lake.

   Isn't this going back again?

  The tiger lay on the window, and after two quarters of an hour, he faintly saw the Lotus Palace in the lake.

  Jia Yuqi said: "Why are you here again, Mr. Special Envoy?"

   "I dropped something in the water, and I need to go back and get it." The treasure he was thinking about.

  Jia Yu understood immediately, and said obediently, "I'll go rowing back, please wait a moment!"

  The carriage also arrived at the place. He got out of the carriage in three steps and two steps, kicked into the water, and soon swam away.

  Not long after He Lingchuan waited, Jia Yu came to the shore in a small boat.

   This is the boat of the Cen Mansion. It carried Fan Sheng to attack He Lingchuan earlier, but when it failed, the boat was pushed away by Jia Yu.

   Now he rowed back, carrying the wounded He Lingchuan into the lake again.

  Tiger still couldn’t get a seat this time, the boat was too small and too heavy, so he had to lie on the shore and wait.

   Soon, Xiaozhou returned to the place where He Lingchuan fought fiercely with Fan Sheng.

   Both of them were dumbfounded, and the scene in front of them was completely different from when they left:

  With the place where Fan Sheng fell into the water as the center, within a radius of ten feet, there are all remnants of lotus and stamens, and there is not a single intact lotus.

This water area seems to have been swept away. In addition to the stems and leaves of plants, there are also dead bodies of water birds, insects and fish floating on the water. Those arrogant piranhas have basically turned their red bellies. There are more than a dozen or even The body was incomplete, only two ends were still alive, and only one residual fin beat the water surface, circling in circles.

   It's not far from dying.

   Jia Yu murmured, "What happened here?"

   "Fan Sheng released a big life-saving move, and almost died with the lotus demon." He Lingchuan asked him to row close to the place where he had picked the Bawanglian before, and circled around a few times.

  The position of the treasure indicated by the sacred bone necklace is slightly different from the original one.

  He Lingchuan had a score in his mind, found the right position and went into the water again.

   This time he dived all the way to the bottom, groping carefully.

  The water is full of messy floating objects, but He Lingchuan only swims back and forth on the lake bed.

  Jia Yu stared wide-eyed, seeing that he seemed to be digging in the lake mud for a long time before he surfaced.

  He helped He Lingchuan board the boat again, only to see that he was holding something in his arms, like a broken pottery, it was unclear whether it was an urn or a vat, it was full of mud, and most of the lotus root was buried.

  He Lingchuan washed the mud away with the lake water, and found that the broken pottery was surprisingly clean, not even a dead snail egg, only the lotus root joint.

  I don’t know why this lotus root was broken. The cross section of the same kind is off-white, only it is blood red. At this time, there is still a light red mucus, which looks a bit like human blood at first glance.

   "This is it?" Jia Yu couldn't believe it, "Is this He...?"

"Probably the water spirit in the lake." Jia Yu once mentioned that the water spirit punishes cheaters. This time Fan Sheng attacked He Lingchuan and cut down a large wall of lotus. To make trouble.

  He Lingchuan guessed that it had a bad temper, but it didn't expect it to take advantage of Fan Sheng's trap in the spider web to take revenge, but was taken away by a wave of big moves released by others.

   Two hundred years of hard work have come to naught, and only this half of the lotus root remains.

   But, is he really dead?

"Let's go back."

  The boat rowed to the shore, and this time the bone necklace was no longer hot.

  It seems that he has finally won.

  After disembarking, He Lingchuan changed to a carriage and returned to the inn, and gave Jia Yu another ingot of silver as service fee.

  The soldier left happily, and the tiger also went to find Lu Dutong. He Lingchuan asked the inn to deliver hot water so that he could clean up the mud, leaves and insect corpses on his body.

  After soaking in water, the wound should also be treated again.

   After finishing these tasks, half an hour passed. He Lingchuan finally found a comfortable chair to sit down again, and then he took out the pottery dug out from the lake and looked at it.

  In fact, the material of this thing is not pottery, it looks like jade but not jade, it looks like iron but not iron, and there is a loud sound when it is knocked.

  Looking at its black body and white mouth, it was probably a jug-shaped container, but now there is at most one-third of it left, and only the bottom is relatively complete.

  Anyway, it was still a fragment, so He Lingchuan simply hit it twice with a knife, not afraid of being damaged.

  Dangdang, it’s okay.

  He Lingchuan simply took it and slapped it on the edge of the table.

   With a snap, it was still fine, and the corner of the table fell off.

  The texture of this fragment is surprisingly hard!

   That's right, how can something that can be seen by the gods have no way to do it?

   But this thing has a frosted feel all over the body, without any patterns, or maybe the part with patterns has been broken, and there are only a few words engraved on the bottom:

   Mi wind.

  If you want the wind, you will get the wind, and if you want the rain, you will get the rain.

  The first two characters are big, and the last eight characters are small. They are actually the ancient fairy language.

   "Sure enough, I found an ancient object." He Lingchuan looked at it, and then looked at the half of the lotus root, speculating that the ancient object was broken for some reason, and the fragments fell into Chaohu Lake, which turned the lotus growing in it into a monster.

  He searched and found no new clues, so he fed the fragments to the **** bone necklace.

  The **** bone necklace was so happy that there was nothing left to eat.

  Such a hard fragment, I don't know how it is digested. After seeing too many strange things, He Lingchuan didn't bother to think about them.

  As for the cut lotus root, there was a hole in the section, so He Lingchuan threw it into the basin without any hassle.

   Then he closed his eyes and rested, and began to review today's events.

  Since the investigation of the messenger case has come to a standstill, it has become increasingly difficult for Fu Songhua to hide, and He Lingchuan himself has been assassinated twice. At that time, he understood that the opponent was unscrupulous relying on his status as an official of Lingxu City, and he needed an opportunity to turn against the customer and break the passive situation.

  This opportunity is called:

  Zhong Sunmou must die!

  On the one hand, Zhong Sunmou strongly advocated bringing Fu Songhua back to Lingxu City to close the case. After his death, no one will discuss this matter, and Fu Songhua can continue to stay in Baisha.

  He Lingchuan's urgent need was immediately resolved.

  Originally, Fu Songhua was almost unable to hide. The power of the Cen family is no joke, but He Lingchuan couldn't stop him.

  On the other hand, Zhong Sunmou's death will inevitably anger Lingxu City. After this matter got worse, the emperor refused to let it go, and Zhongsun's family refused to let it go, so the special envoy sent to handle the case couldn't think of fooling around like Zhongsun Mou did.

  At that time, all the evidence involved in the case will be placed under the sun and reviewed repeatedly.

  The white-shouldered eagle messenger case will also be overturned and retried.

  Cen's hands and feet, can they still be used? Wouldn't the new envoy be suspicious of them?

   It can be said that as long as Zhong Sunmou dies, the game of chess will survive.

   When there is an emergency, extraordinary measures must be taken.

   What's more, it was Zhong Sunmou and others who first attacked him and killed him, He Lingchuan was just throwing himself at him.

  So, he used the eggs of the snail toad.

  Wan Song once explained that if they want to summon the snail toad, they only need to crush its eggs and stand on the ground.

   If it is the master, the snail toad will naturally be obedient;

  If it was someone else, such as He Lingchuan or Zhong Sunmou who killed its offspring with malicious intentions, Snail Toad would not bother to think of a more solution to his hatred except for being bored.

  Its brain is not much bigger than a peach, and it is not used for thinking.

  When gambling on the Chaohu Pagoda, He Lingchuan took the opportunity to crush the snail toad eggs, apply the juice to the soul-hunting mirror, and then use the real power to dry it.
