Demoness, Where Are You Fleeing To?
Chapter 223 Tit for tat
"Where can the witch escape? New ()" to find the latest chapter!
About half an hour later, Gongsun Xue piled several small piles of files in front of Li Xuan and others.
"These are the account books related to rice paper, sulfur, and charcoal in the past six months. They are all here. If you want to check half a year ago, you have to go to Zhuque Tower to transfer files."
Li Xuan was surprised: "So many? Could it be a mistake?"
"That's all." Gongsun Xue explained with a wry smile: "We can't make separate ledgers for these types of materials, they are all mixed. However, every piece of rice paper has a record, and then it has to be recycled one by one. There are rules for how much charcoal is used every day and for each layer, and it is recorded, so the documentation here is very cumbersome."
Li Xuan looked at the hills in front of him speechlessly, thinking that both Peng Fulai and Zhang Yue would get dizzy just by reading a book. With such a heavy workload, it is obviously unrealistic to rely solely on him and Le Qianqian.
He rolled his eyes and said, "Call a few clerks from your library. I need you to compile a list for me first."
Gongsun Xue was stunned when he heard this, and resisted a little: "But we still have many things at hand, especially after this incident, many materials need to be re-accounted. The imprisoned monsters also need to be registered -"
"It's not like you can't even get out three or five people, right?" Li Xuan said with a dark face as he raised the order given by the Demon Lord: "Anyway, let's settle the accounts of these three supplies first. By the way, you guys are here. Are these the only clerks here? Call me those who are not on duty. Such a big thing has happened to the Demon Suppression Tower, how dare you slack off?"
Gongsun Xue was obviously in a dilemma, but she obviously did not have a strong personality. Forced by Li Xuan's order, she hesitantly agreed.
Fortunately, Li Xuan gave her another idea: "If we don't have enough manpower, then we can go to the Zhuque Tower and the library for secondment. Just say it's the manager's wish."
——There are many civil servants and document managers over there, all of whom are idle.
But just when Gongsun Xue's eyes brightened slightly, he immediately stepped out of the door. Zhang Yue took the opportunity to look at Gongsun Xue's back and couldn't help but admire: "Master Wang is really lucky. What more could you ask for with such a beautiful wife and husband? Look at this figure, this appearance, this temperament, he is far more charming than those little girls." There are so many people. This is a good family! It is not an ordinary experience with the girl from Qinhuai River."
"Same feeling! Same feeling! If I could kiss Fangze, I would live ten years shorter - forget it!"
Peng Fulai then thought that Wang Shouyi could indeed shorten his life by ten years. He hurriedly shook his head again, thinking that life was more important, and then he asked with slight doubts: "But this Mrs. Wang seems to be a little absent-minded? Does she seem to have something on her mind?"
Li Xuan glanced at him sideways, thinking that this guy was not like Zhang Yue, who only coveted good young women from good families.
Le Qianqian couldn't stand the lecherous and evil behavior of Zhang and Peng. She had a dull face and looked unhappy: "What are you talking about? Be respectful when you speak!"
Maybe it was because the tone was too strong, or maybe it was the surprised looks from Li Xuan, Peng Fulai and others that made Le Qianqian feel guilty for a while, and she softened her voice again: "I advise you not to make wrong decisions, this You can't afford to offend Mrs. Wang. Her grandfather Gongsun He was the master of the White Tiger Hall thirty years ago. Although he has passed away now, his disciples are all over the Six Daosi Division.
Also, her sister Gongsun Ling is now one of the seven internal inspectors. And her brother-in-law is Lei Zhen, the demon-suppressing lieutenant of Qinglong Hall. The whole family is in a high position, if you dare to offend her, they will tear you apart. "
Zhang Yue and Peng Fulai looked at each other strangely, both feeling that something was not right about Le Qianqian today, as if she had been fed gunpowder. Not only was he cold to Li Xuan, always keeping a distance of more than three feet, but he was also rude to the two of them.
Li Xuan thought to himself that Lei Zhen, the master of the subjugation of demons, was Lei Yun's brother? The twists and turns of nepotism in Liudaosi are really complicated.
He then shook his head and looked at the account book in his hand.
Li Xuan discovered that the amount of charcoal and sulfur used in the Demon Suppression Tower was really quite large.
The environment inside the Demon Suppression Tower is already dank, and there are no windows inside. It relies entirely on the magic circle for ventilation. There are so many demons and evil spirits trapped inside, which makes it even more chilly.
Even the martial arts cultivators of the second sect could not withstand the damp and cold atmosphere here. Therefore, a large amount of charcoal needs to be burned in this tower every day to keep out the cold, otherwise ordinary people would not be able to stay in it for a whole day.
As for sulfur, this yang-stimulating substance can be used externally to expel snakes and insects and kill evil spirits; when taken internally, it can replenish fire and yang, and treat cold and cold diseases, so it is also a commonly used thing in the Demon Suppression Tower.
The jailers in the tower would even drink Liudaosi's secret sulfur wine every once in a while.
Sprinkling sulfur around the prisons on each floor is even more routine; especially for snake and insect demons, sulfur can help suppress the karma and demonic nature in their bodies to a great extent.
In fact, after checking here, Li Xuan has confirmed his guess. The gunpowder and divine fire talisman can indeed be made in the Demon Suppression Tower.
But Li Xuan still wanted to see if he could trace the real culprit through the entry and exit accounts and usage records of materials.
It's just that the workload is really not trivial. There are fifty-seven floors above ground and three underground floors of the Demon Suppression Tower. Even if Li Xuan only checked the documents of the two months after Xue Wuya was imprisoned, there would still be nearly 700 books as thick as one finger. The account books need to be reviewed.
Although Gongsun Xue temporarily transferred twelve clerks from the Suzaku Tower and kept making plans, judging from the progress, it might not be possible to get it done in three to five days.
What's even more troublesome is that they have to send people to various floors and warehouses to check. Due to the incident a day ago, there have been many discrepancies between the records in the account books and the actual situation, which need to be verified one by one.
Li Xuan only stayed in the library for an hour before he couldn't sit still. It happened that Inspector Shi was already interrogating the people involved in the case on the ninth floor of the Demon Suppression Tower, so Li Xuan ran over to listen without ceremony.
The inner court men under Shi Xin were very unfavorable to him and refused firmly at first. Li Xuan did not argue with them. He directly gathered Jiang Hanyun, Ma Chenggong, Lei Yun and many other captains and captains involved in the case together in the name of interrogation, and refused to release them for most of the day.
Just like what Li Xuan said to Shi Xin, joint trial by both parties can improve efficiency. But if Shi Xin refuses, he has plenty of ways to cause trouble for the other party.
He was ordered by the Demon Lord to intervene on the pretext of solving the 'Demon Suppression Tower Blast Case'. Even Stone Heart himself had nothing to say about this.
In the end, Inspector Shi nodded and allowed him to add a table to several interrogation rooms.
However, after Li Xuan sat down, Shi Xin looked at him with a look as cold as a knife, as if it was going to pierce into the depths of Li Xuan's bones: "It seems that Captain Li didn't understand what I said, or he was determined. You have an idea, do you want to charge into battle for your general manager? Aren't you afraid of meeting ghosts if you walk too much at night?"
Li Xuan responded with a smile on his face: "I really don't understand what Inspector Shi said. But I, Li Xuan, behave upright, stand upright, and walk along the Yangguan Avenue. I am really not afraid of any monsters." I hope Inspector Shi can be like me."
Shi Xin was silent for a while. He glanced at Li Xuan intently, then said noncommittally, "I have recorded what Captain Li said," and the interrogation began.
The first person to ask was the captains of the Demon Suppression Tower. The first question was quite normal, almost the same as what Li Xuan wanted to ask. Questions like ‘When does the shift start? ’, ‘Who have you been in contact with? ’, ‘Have you ever left during this period? 'etc.
But after that, Shi Xin's problems began to deviate and gradually became tricky. For example, when I asked Jiang Hanyun, he asked something that seemed to be related to the mole case, but actually had an ulterior motive.
"I heard that your father had friendship with the Blood Knife Ancestor when he was young?"
"Two years ago, you used 170,000 taels of silver, nine vitality stones, and a lot of money to buy a Thunder Bead. You were just a captain at that time, right? Where did the money come from?"
"The master of the Suzaku Hall has a hidden illness and has repeatedly asked your father for diagnosis and treatment. Is this related to Jiang Hanyun's promotion to the Demon-Subduing School Captain at the age of seventeen?"
This is relatively polite, such as Fang Xiangshan, the commander of Shenxiangdu, Li Shoufang, the owner of the Tibetan Treasure Building, Zhen Shenlian, the commander of Guisudu, Leiyun, the commander of Firecrowdu, Shen Zhimou, the commander of Black Snakedu, etc. The problem is More cunning and harsh.
Especially Li Shoufang, Shi Xin took an account book and tortured Li Shoufang for seven hours. In the end, I really couldn't find any flaws, so I just let it go.
There was also Ma Chenggong, who was sweating profusely when asked.
But although Lieutenant Ma was greedy for money, he never used public funds and never extorted money from people on the street. He could be regarded as a gentleman who loves money and gets it in a wise way without risk.
Li Xuan thought to himself that the worries of the Demon Lord and some people in Suzaku Hall were indeed not unfounded. This Inspector Stone was indeed coming with bad intentions.
But he didn't stop him. As long as Shi Xin's problems did not exceed his bottom line, he would let it go and just record the words of these people as they were.
Fang Xiangshan and others are people who are used to strong winds and waves and will not be stumped by this battle. If you are really stumped, there is something wrong. UU reading www.uuknshu.net
Although Li Xuan was disgusted with Shi Xin's style, he was not willing to bend the law, seek personal gain, or tolerate adultery. If the current Suzaku Hall is really harboring filth and evil, then it really needs to be cleaned up.
He thought this was probably the reason why the Demon Lord chose him to solve the explosion case.
The reason why Li Xuan insisted on listening was just as a precaution to prevent the people in the inner hall from using undesirable means.
After interrogating Jiang Hanyun, Ma Chenggong and others, it was the turn of the cell leaders on each floor of the Demon Suppression Tower.
At this time, everyone in the inner hall became obviously less interested, but Shi Xin was still full of energy.
But just when Li Xuan was frowning at the fruitless interrogation, the cell leader in charge of the second underground floor surprised everyone present: "Last night, I saw Captain Lei leave the bottom floor with my own eyes. He was on the ground floor along the way. He also used illusions to hide his whereabouts."
