Chapter 66: Stun the snake

The residents of Gaoshan County witnessed a strange scene early the next

morning.

I saw two people wearing alchemist black robes pushing a small car, hanging up

banners, and walking all the way along the market area, and they were shouting

for clues about the evil things of the day before yesterday, no matter who saw

or heard strange things. Even if it seems to have nothing to do with evil, as

long as it is abnormal or bizarre, you can tell them, and no matter whether it

is useful or not, you can get ten copper plates. If it is considered useful,

it is 100.

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

This kind of good thing, which is almost equal to giving money for nothing,

immediately detonated the enthusiasm of the people. Everyone swarmed and

formed a big circle around the car.

"My lord, I have something to say! The Wang's house next door made an unusual

noise that night!"

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

"You get out, I came first!"

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

"My lord, I'm the king's house next door, I really have nothing to do with

evil!"

Various voices come and go, some are vying for clues, and some are vying for

who said the same thing first. The enthusiasm of the masses is beyond

imagination, and there is a trend of developing from verbal communication to

zero-distance greetings.

"Get out of the way, everyone will avoid me!" Suddenly a group of government

officers rushed into the crowd, dispersing the gathered people, and the head

of them was the head catcher who led the alchemist to the crime scene.

"I have seen two adults..." Seeing the black robe of the Privy Council, he

immediately reduced his voice, bowed respectfully and bowed, "I wonder what

you are investigating?"

"What else can it be, of course it's evil." It was Xia Fan who answered him,

"Why, should I do this to anyone?"

"Uh..." The head catcher glanced at the eagerly awaited crowd around him, and

said in a little embarrassment, "Just ask them what you want to ask, why

bother to spend more money. Now it's like this, I'm afraid I'll wait a while.

It will affect the smooth flow of the road. Besides, if you want to

investigate the case, you can go to the Yamen, and the County Cheng and

Dianshi will definitely cooperate with you."

"I don't think they can know the situation in the county well. Besides, the

things I want to know will not be recorded, so I won't go to trouble 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 herald the appearance of evil. What, do you

want to prevent the Privy Council from doing things?"

"How can I, the little one dare not—"

"Then I will continue."

Xia Fan pushed through a group of government officials and shouted to the

crowd, "Are there any weird things you want to say?"

"My lord, I have!"

"Please listen to me first!"

Everyone soon came up again.

They all understand one truth, that is, head-catchers dare not stop the

alchemist of the Privy Council.

No amount of government servants can stop me from getting this free money.

The same thing happened in the entrance area of the county, except that the

people pushing the cart over there were replaced by Wang Renzhi and Shangguan

Cai.

"Brother Xia, can we really collect any useful evidence like this?" In the

noisy voice, Wei Wushuang took the time to get to Xia Fan and asked, "Although

it sounds a lot of strange things, how can we verify it? I feel that there is

no way to combine these fragmentary rumors into a reliable testimony in a

day."

"It's okay, because everything we do is just propaganda." Xia Fan smiled

slightly. He didn't expect that the person who most supported his efforts to

continue the investigation was Prince Wang. As soon as he proposed this idea,

he immediately took the initiative to pay for the convenience.

"Promotion?"

"Exactly, so the questioning is not the point. The point is how to cause a

sensation in the shortest time and spread the news of the investigation

throughout the county."

"But just in case... I mean if it's like Brother Xia, you guessed it, wouldn't

this be a horror?"

"If we can't see the snake, it will naturally be a waste of water in the

bamboo basket, but if we can see, the moment the snake moves, we will expose

our body."

"See?" Wei Wushuang asked puzzledly, "Are you here?"

"Don't worry, you will know then."

……

"Is this really what the group said?"

In the yali room, Hu Huairen frowned after listening to the head-catching

report.

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

What kind of play is this again? How many new alchemists want to know the

whole story of the evil incident? Could it be that something went wrong in the

Privy Council? Or was it because the death of two fellow alchemists made them

want to do their best?

What an idiot! Hu Zhixian couldn't help cursing in his heart, how many times

he told the two people to follow the rules, who knows there can be such a

mistake!

Did they really find any clues?

Especially the phrase "things I want to know will not be recorded", no matter

how you look at it, I feel meaningful.

Other alchemists can understand, why did the second son of the Wang family

also participate in it? Does that guy know what his father does?

No, he has to write a letter to tell Wang Yian.

"My lord, are you... okay?" 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 a thin

layer of sweat on the palm of his hand. No... to be calm, the possibility of

them finding the truth is very slim, and it is even more impossible to ask the

locals what to do. He has to write to the Wang family first, and then deal

with the grotto.

After explaining the whole situation concisely, he folded the letter and

handed it to a servant outside the door, "Immediately give it to the King of

Jinxia City, and let their master open it. Go!"

Then Hu Huairen went to the backyard~www.mtlnovel.com~ and called his

subordinates Du Mingjin and Du Mingyin.

As soon as he saw the two appearing, he would not be angry. If it weren't for

these two idiots, how could such an accident happen to the Privy Council!

"Are you sure you haven't been spotted by anyone when you went up the mountain

on those days?"

"Master, we can guarantee!" The Du brothers also knew that they had committed

a big mistake, and they did not dare to breathe. "We set out at night for the

past few days, and absolutely no one was seen whereabouts. Even the Orion did

not have a night. Uphill."

"Okay, let me give you one more chance. Today, I will go to the grotto and get

rid of everything inside, and then seal the door to make sure no one can find

it."

"But... once the stone gate is sealed, it is difficult to open it again. In

case someone finds you over there again..."

"That's something for the future, you can think of something later!" Hu

Huairen scolded, "I don't want to hear about evil things again until I don't

know the attitude of the Privy Council. If I understand, I will do what I say!

If this time If it fails, I will put you two in too!"

"Yes, sir, we must do it well!" The Du Brothers nodded in a hurry.

"get out!"

"Please wait a moment, sir," at this moment, a crisp and gentle female voice

interrupted Hu Zhixian's words.

The two raised their heads, their eyes lit up.

I saw a tall and beautiful woman walking out of the back room, with a tall

hair bun on her head, her collar opened to the sides, revealing her white neck

and half of her collarbone. She held a wooden tray with wine in her hands, and

every small step revealed a sense of charm, but her appearance was as pure and

refined as a lotus flower. The two completely different feelings were mixed

together, making the woman's smiles full of incredible charm.
