Qin Shaoyou remained silent, but Zhu Xiucai, who was following him, immediately asked, "You don't know Bai Peng?"

Several chief officials of the Jinling Mansion Editing Factory shook their heads and said sincerely: "I really don't know."

"That's weird."

Zhu Xiucai frowned slightly.

"Bai Peng is the leader of the inspection team we sent to Jinling. Counting the time, their team should have arrived in Jinling long ago. You don't know them? Have you never seen them?"

Several chief officials of the Jinling Prefecture Editing Factory shook their heads again, saying that they had never seen or heard of this matter.

Each of their expressions were sincere and serious, and they didn't look like they were lying.

Someone even put forward a seemingly reasonable guess:

"Recently, the southeast has been uneasy. In addition to the plundering Japanese pirates and rebellious cults, there are also many monsters and beasts that have come running after smelling the smell of blood, making traveling an extremely dangerous thing...

Could it be that Master Bai Peng and his men were attacked by Japanese pirates, cults or demons on the way, and had an accident, so they were unable to come to our Jinling Mansion? "

Qin Shaoyou glanced at the person who spoke and said, "We can't rule out the possibility."

The Qianhu official from the Jinling Prefecture's Compilation Factory immediately raised his hand and asked, "Duke, do you need us to send someone to check?"

Qin Shaoyou did not answer in a hurry, but glanced at these people and asked: "You really don't know Bai Peng?"

For this question, he used the confusing effects of his two talents [Smart Tongue] and [Bright Eyes], but the chief officials of the Jinling Mansion Editing Factory still shook their heads:

"The Governor clearly knows, my subordinates really don't know."

"Then check it for me!"

Qin Shaoyou did not continue to interrogate them, but instead ordered: "Find out the whereabouts of Bai Peng and the others. If you want to see them alive, you want to see their corpses!"

"Yes!" Several chief officials of the Jinling Mansion Editing Factory responded in unison.

Entering the Jinling Mansion Editing Factory, the accompanying fans were divided into two groups.

Yi Bo led the war horses to the stables, not to mention brushing and feeding the horses.

The other group unloaded their bags and headed to the dormitory with the guidance and help of their colleagues in Jinling Mansion.

Qin Shaoyou first put a stick of incense on the statue of Fumo Emperor enshrined in the editing factory in the lobby, and then ordered: "Erect another statue of Jiutian Demon Patriarch. From now on, in our editing factory, not only Fumo will be enshrined. The Demon Emperor will also worship the founder of Jiutiandang Demon."

Although the chief officials of the Jinling Mansion Editing Factory did not understand why another statue of Jiutiandang Demon Patriarch was erected, they did not dare to ask more questions, but immediately agreed: "Yes, I will find someone to make the statue today." A statue of the Jiutian Demon Patriarch."

Qin Shaoyou hummed and said nothing more.

Several chief officials from the Jinling Mansion Editing Factory led him to a specially prepared room.

Here, Qin Shaoyou asked them about the affairs of the Jinling Mansion, and asked them to get the case information in recent years. While looking through it, he encouraged them a few words, and finally said that he was tired from the journey and needed to rest. Send these people away.

Zhu Xiucai sent these people out of the room.

After a while, he turned back and saw Cui Yougui and Qiu Shi, Taoist priests holding magic spells and searching around the room, so they didn't rush to speak.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Cui Youxuan and Taoist Master Qiu Shi finished their inspection and cast spells to seal several places.

After finishing, Cui Youguo snorted coldly: "These people are so brave, they really set up some eavesdropping tricks in the room."

"It means they did something wrong."

Qin Shaoyou put down the file information in his hand and said coldly.

Although no problems can be seen from these dossier information, and it even makes people think that the people in the Jinling Mansion Editing Factory are efficient and very high-level, Qin Shaoyou knows that these information are not trustworthy, and the water content is unknown. .

What's more, these people have been lying from the beginning.

"They said they didn't know Bai Peng, which is a lie!"

Although the people in Jinling Mansion concealed themselves very well, they still couldn't hide it from Qin Shaoyou's [clear eyes] observation.

I just don't know what means or supernatural objects they relied on to withstand the confusing effects of Qin Shaoyou's [Bright Eyes] and [Skilled Tongue], and they were not tricked into telling the truth.

"My lord, you are indeed very discerning."

Zhu Xiucai flattered us, and then said: "Not only are they lying, they are also trying to draw our attention to Japanese pirates, cults and demons. But they don't know that the more they talk, the easier it is to expose their lies."

"Did they lie? They met Bai Peng and others but said they didn't know?"

Monk Ma and Gunshan Jun both looked surprised.

The two of them had no problem charging into battle, but when it came to this kind of thing, some of them had insufficient brain capacity, and they all asked:

"Why are they doing this?"

"Where did Bai Peng and others go?"

"Ah, is it possible that Bai Peng and others were harmed by them? How dare they?"

Zhu Xiucai had a dark face and snorted coldly: "What are you afraid of? Back in Yizhou, the censors who were patrolling were all killed, and now His Majesty is almost dead. These people are used to being domineering in the local area. , are also used to being arrogant, and really regard themselves as local emperors. Once someone harms their interests, they will do anything! Don't forget that Bai Peng came to Jinling Mansion just to track them down, how could they be captured without mercy? "

"But if they kill Bai Peng, aren't they afraid that the matter will be exposed?"

"Didn't you hear what they said? There is chaos in the southeast right now, and all the monsters and monsters are here. They have already found the person to take the blame."

"Have they never thought that even if they kill Bai Peng, the Governor will send people to continue the investigation?"

"The reason why Bai Peng was killed was because Bai Peng came too suddenly, leaving them unprepared and afraid of being found out."

When Zhu Xiucai said this, he pointed to the case information on the table.

"By killing Bai Peng, they have bought enough time to make amends. Whether it is the case information, witnesses or material evidence, they should have taken care of it. Even if people come to investigate later, it will be difficult to find out. what is the problem."

Monk Ma and Lord Gunshan became angrier as they listened.

"These people are so arrogant! Governor, do you want to capture them?"

"Don't rush yet." After Qin Shaoyou thought about it for a while, he ordered: "Xiucai, go out and inquire about the situation. The rest of the people should do what they should do."

So far, they have only confirmed that the people at the Jinling Prefecture Editing Factory were lying.

As for whether these people really killed Bai Peng, there is no certainty yet, it is just speculation.

Although Qin Shaoyou, as Qin Shaoyou, could arrest people directly without evidence, he did not want to do that, lest he take the lead and break the rules.

Zhu Xiucai accepted the order, turned around and went out to make new friends.

Qin Shaoyou sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and activated [Listening].

Soon he used the sound to locate the chief officials of the Jinling Prefecture Editing Factory and monitored them.

As a result, it was discovered that these chief officials were walking outside the Yamen.

They also gave instructions to their subordinates: "If the Governor asks where we have been later, just tell us that we personally led the team to investigate and find Bai Peng's whereabouts, do you understand?"

Qin Shaoyou didn't believe that they were going to investigate Bai Peng's whereabouts.

These people seem to be secretly discussing countermeasures.

Qin Shaoyou immediately released the shadow demon and let it catch up with several chief officials of the Jinling Mansion Editing Factory quietly, blending into their shadows and monitoring them all the way.
