"Young Marshal, this subordinate is going to investigate any suspicious people in the city."

After Adjutant Liu finished speaking, he walked out of the room.

A soldier poured a basin of water on Zhang Yifu's face, which quickly woke him up.

Zhang Yifu looked at the people in the room in a daze, then at himself, and asked, "Why am I lying here?"

A soldier asked loudly, "How dare you assassinate the young marshal."

Zhang Yifu immediately showed a terrified look: "I didn't, I didn't do it."

"Okay, he was hit by the puppet technique and has been controlled by others, and he doesn't even know it."

The fat Taoist said something for Zhang Yifu.

Sun Guangmin remained silent for a while, leaving Zhang Yifu confused. He immediately got up, walked up to Sun Guangmin, and knelt down on the ground: "Young commander, please spare me."

Sun Guangmin didn't intend to kill Zhang Yifu, but since he was controlled by the puppet technique once, it is inevitable that he will not be controlled a second time. It is not safe to keep such a person by his side.

"Xiao Zhang, get up, it's not your fault, just recall, have you come into contact with any suspicious people recently?"

"Suspicious person?" Zhang Yifu stood up, looking thoughtful, and recalled for a while, "I have never come into contact with any suspicious person."

"Staff Zhang, do you know how he was controlled by the other party?"

Sun Guangmin looked at the fat Taoist priest, who immediately said, "As far as I know, you need to use a straw or paper figurine, and then use the name or character of the puppet you choose, or you can use nails and hair."

After a pause, he continued: "Let this person's soul be attached to the straw man or the paper man. The caster needs to pinch a puppet seal formula, use blood as a guide, and then use the spell to control the opponent. The caster is very Possibly a priest."

Sun Guangmin was silent, thought for a while, and then said: "The key to the problem is that the assassin knew Xiao Zhang's name or horoscope, and it is also possible that he got Xiao Zhang's nails or hair."

"Yes, we can investigate along this clue."

After the fat Taoist agreed, he looked at Zhang Yifu.

Zhang Yifu thought hard, and finally said after a long while: "Oh, I remembered, yesterday afternoon, I went to the side of Qifu Restaurant, in a small alley, and found a blind man to tell his fortune, and told him his name and horoscope."

"Okay, I'm going to arrest people."

After the fat Taoist finished speaking, he looked at Sun Guangmin, who nodded in agreement before leaving the room.

After [-] o'clock in the morning, Longshan City ushered in a rare windy weather, and there were a lot fewer pedestrians on the street.

Every few tens of meters on the street, there are soldiers standing guard with guns, checking for suspicious persons.

Since Sun Guangmin was stabbed, the whole city was under martial law, and suspicious foreigners were checked at the city gate and hotels.

Disguised as a country girl, Huang Ying hides in a teahouse and listens to tea guests talking about gossip in the city.

"This plague has just ended. For some reason, the whole city is under martial law."

"Maybe there's going to be a war?"

"It doesn't look like it looks like it's looking for someone."

Huang Ying stayed in the teahouse for more than an hour, but did not hear any news about Sun Guangmin.

After she left the teahouse, she didn't dare to go to the hotel in the city, but went to Longshan, planning to camp on the mountain for the next two days to avoid the investigation of the officers and soldiers.

The fat Taoist priest brought the soldiers and took the blind fortune-teller back to the Marshal's Mansion. He tortured him for a day and a night.

Because Sun Guangmin's body has accumulated a lot of spiritual energy, it can speed up the healing of the wound, and he can fully recover in another ten or eight days.

Mrs. Xu, Sun Guangmin's mother, was very concerned about his son's injuries, and specially ordered the servants to make ginseng chicken soup for Sun Guangmin's health, and went to visit his son every now and then to ask for his health.

Apart from expressing gratitude, Sun Guangmin tried to avoid his mother as much as possible, while Sun Yaoying didn't show much concern about his son's injury.

He just gave an order to go to King Wei's tomb immediately after Sun Guangmin recovered from his injuries.

The martial law investigation in the city did not have any effect, and it caused panic among the people, and it could only end hastily in the end.

It was changed to a secret investigation. The blind fortune-teller was beaten for five days and five nights, and almost died, but finally came back after walking around the ghost gate.

The fat Taoist saw that the murderer was not a blind fortune-teller, so he let him go and investigated the assassin's affairs, and fell into a stalemate for a while.

That night, Sun Guangmin suddenly remembered something that Xue Ji told him back then. When he was in Longshan, a female Taoist priest seemed to be full of hostility towards him and said that she would deal with him sooner or later.

So Sun Guangmin called Xue Ji and Fat Taoist to his room, intending to ask about it.

Xue Ji who was standing by the side spoke first: "Young commander, have you found the murderer?"

Sun Guangmin sat on the rattan chair with his legs crossed, looking at ease.

"Not yet, I remember you told me that there is a female Taoist priest who will be against me."

"Yes, it must be her. When the female Taoist priest introduced herself, she said that she was practicing in Longhu Mountain."
