Professional work must be done by professionals.

People on the shore watched curiously as the old man retrieved the corpse. They didn't have to search hard, just found the right location and dived to bring up the corpse, as if the old man could talk to the corpse.

The county paid for it and hired villagers to use rowing boats to drag the body ashore, and several people were busy doing the autopsy during the afternoon.

The smell of corpses filled the air and he had no appetite to eat. Bai Yujun flipped through the records at random and saw many complicated runes drawn with a brush on several pages. The imitator did not know how to practice and made many mistakes in the drawings.

Waving his hand, Duxian Cheng once again took a step towards the county captain at a very fast speed.

His flattering yet steady smile was kept very low, he fanned himself with a fan even though he was shivering from exhaustion, and his flattering tactics were beyond the reach of the county magistrate.

"Your Highness, if you have any questions, please feel free to ask. I will tell you everything I know."

"How do you know it was done by a high-level monk?"

"Oh, Your Highness asked a wonderful question. You can see the most critical issue at a glance. I am convinced!"

"..."

Gao Xianwei couldn't bear the awkwardness and simply turned a blind eye.

Bai Yujun suddenly felt that this product was very pleasing to the eye. Take a look, he was just touting it out of thin air. It looked rough but was actually back to nature.

Du Xiancheng turned to the previous pages of the record.

"The reason why I dare to conclude that this crime was the work of powerful monks is that many nearby villagers saw people flying into the sky. Ordinary monks could not do it. After inspection at noon, it was found that the corpses retrieved were all dead after their blood was drained before they were alive. It is extremely cruel. This is The methods of evil demons are very likely to be those of evil people."

While talking, he looked at the princess's face and found that the little princess's face was calm and composed as usual, and she was not afraid at all.

He raised his finger and pointed upstream and continued.

"The origin of the eucalyptus is on the island in the center of the river, less than a mile upstream."

He turned to the county captain and smiled.

"Next, Gao Xianwei will describe it. Gao Xianwei led his people to visit the island in person."

When you are in official circles, you need to know how to make a profit. Since you have won favor in front of the princess, sharing some soup with your colleagues does not appear to be greedy for merit.

Lieutenant Gao County breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, it was better to have a chance to show his face than not.

The Prime Minister of Xuedu County bowed his head.

"Your Majesty the Princess, I have carefully analyzed the footprints and found that there were at least six people. Jiangxin Island is surrounded by water, making it difficult to trace traces. There are spells carved on the rocks. The specific effect cannot be guessed by the official. I am ashamed to say that the case involves The lower officials in the cultivation world are really beyond their capabilities.”

Bai Yujun and them all knew that this incident was the same as the case of missing children everywhere. All the county officials could do was report it.

Lieutenant Gao Xian thought for a while.

"It is said that monsters can transform into human forms after they practice to a great level. Over the years, great demons have often appeared nearby. The monsters are ferocious in nature, and they are also suspected of being responsible."

"Is there a big demon nearby? What kind of demon and what kind of cultivation level is it?"

"This... the lower official is incompetent. Perhaps only the cultivation world knows the details of the big demon."

The county magistrate and the county captain smiled helplessly, and Bai Yujun didn't say anything. To the people, the county magistrate was a great master, and in the eyes of the monks, he was no different from a beggar. This was the reality.

Bai Yujun frowned, wondering whether the court officials were incompetent or complicit.

It has been several years and the problem has not been solved.

The other party's methods are quite shrewd. They steal one or two people from one town and travel around the country, which will not cause panic among the people and can keep the flow of water flowing.

Rubbing his forehead, there are too many loopholes in the squad garrison model. It would be nice to force the change in a few years, but the development speed of Shenting is too slow.

The work on the river surface is almost complete.

The corpse fishermen are very efficient and can fish them out no matter where they are hidden without any abnormalities.

Looking back at the sleepy Fat Tiger, this guy can indeed ward off evil spirits.

There were more and more corpses placed on the shore. After Wu Zuo inspected them, he sprinkled some kind of medicinal powder on them. Perhaps he was worried that he would be haunted by resentful spirits. For several Wu Zuo, he went to stand next to Fat Tiger, even though his legs were unsteady and he refused to stand. He left, thinking that he could use the power of the King of Beasts to dispel the evil spirit.

Suddenly, Fat Tiger stood up, stared in a certain direction and assumed an attack stance, letting out a warning growl from his throat.

Bai Yujun, who was sitting on the chair, turned around and looked through the gap in the back of the chair.

"I have good news for you two."

The county magistrate and county lieutenant quickly lowered their heads and listened.

"Your Highness, please speak."

"The big demon you just mentioned is here. You can question him face to face."

"..."

The two of them felt a thump in their hearts, and reflexively looked at the princess' gaze. There was a vague figure in the crop field. Just a moment ago, it was still far away. In the blink of an eye, it was closer. When they saw it, they had already appeared in front of the shack. He had white hair, brocade clothes, and a hand. The old lady stood in front of me.

Bai Yujun signaled to Fat Tiger not to worry.

The old lady is wearing quaint dark green clothes, made of precious brocade material, a double-breasted gown with a horse-faced skirt, exquisite auspicious patterns embroidered on the neckline, various expensive accessories, a red thread tassel tied to her cane, and a kind smile. There is no lack of momentum.

The old lady looked at Bai Yujun and didn't pay attention to the fat tiger with fried hair next to her.

"It turns out to be Her Royal Highness the Princess. I have always wanted to visit the Princess's mansion, but I didn't expect to meet here by the river."

The two county officials were panicked, but Bai Yujun still sat firmly.

He looked at the old lady seriously, but with just one look, the old demon's spirit dazzled, his body trembled slightly, and he tried to stay calm, pretending that nothing had happened.

I wanted to take a closer look at the little girl, but I didn't dare. I somehow felt that the consequences of looking around would be serious.

Bai Yujun swayed his legs out of boredom.

"Tell me, did you do this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the county magistrate who was fanning him froze in his movements, and the county lieutenant secretly thought that he was miserable. The two of them didn't know what to do.

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't get angry, and she had a kind face and a smile.

"This matter has nothing to do with Lao Shen. Although Lao Shen is not a good person, he will never do such an unethical thing. I hope the court will not misunderstand."

Think about it and add something.

"I sensed a strange aura yesterday, and my cultivation level is very high. Maybe I haven't gone far yet. The court can ask nearby sects to assist in the investigation."

"How high?"

"At least refine the soul into an infant."

Speaking of this, the old lady stared closely at Bai Yujun, but found that the little princess was not surprised at all. Either her expression was deeply hidden, or she really didn't care.

The two county magistrates pricked up their ears, eager to hear more news about the cultivation world.

"Thanks for the clue. You can go."

"..."

Du Xian Cheng and Gao Xian Wei did not expect the princess to be so direct. The old demon opened his mouth and swallowed the rest of his words.

Being humiliated but not daring to fall out rashly, he put away his kind smile and rolled his eyes wildly, deciding to carefully investigate the details of the princess's house before making any fuss.

"Farewell."

After saying that, he turned around and left. In the blink of an eye, he was a hundred steps away, and his whereabouts were as erratic as when he came.

Fat Tiger shook his fur and lay down again, but the surrounding officers and people did not notice the old lady at all. The two immortal officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Bai Yujun leaned back on the chair with his hands on his hands, making it comfortable to sit like this.

The old lady is an old monster who doesn't want to get into trouble, and she doesn't forget to show off when she shows up.

The imperial court is riddled with holes. Those sects suppressed by the laws of the divine court are also unreliable. Unless their own interests are involved, they will not contribute at all. By the time they come to arrest people, they will probably run away.

After much calculation, it seems that only the garrison team can be trusted.
