After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 580

"After I received your entrustment, I sent people to investigate. When I found the village, I found out that the two brothers died in the long grass by the river. In the throat, Chen Er is in the back of the heart. There are still some wounds on Chen Da's body, which may be scratched when struggling, or wrestled with the murderer. Oh, the bone is visible in the injury on the right arm."

"Death time?"

"The officials sent by the government believe that they probably died in the evening of the day before yesterday, which is the second day after the bombing of the posthouse."

He Lingchuan hummed: "Kill and silence."

Expected.

Lao Ge asked: "Look, do you want to continue the investigation?"

"If you continue to search, you can only find the middleman at most, right?"

"Maybe." Lao Ge didn't deny it, "The nobles above don't want to get their hands dirty when they do things, so they usually hire middlemen. They are very experienced."

He knows the trick, because he is also a middleman.

"There's no need to look it up, I've already figured it out."

Among He Lingchuan's opponents, Da Sinong should be a smart person, and he would not trouble the Chiyan envoy again for the sake of his convicted son-in-law. Prince Yan is absolutely useless in fighting for her husband's chance of survival; and poisoning and killing people seems to be something that the commander-in-chief of Tongxinwei would not do.

So the only remaining options are Cen's family or Zhongsun's family.

Since Zhong Sun Ce was ridiculed by Fu Shanyue's crazy output in Dunyuan a few days ago, He Lingchuan thinks he is the most suspected.

After the posthouse exploded, Zhong Sun Ce must have felt so regretful that his intestines were green.Now that the Chen brothers have been silenced, the Zhongsun family should not dare to make another move in the short term.

Everyone is afraid of getting burned.

But He Lingchuan didn't intend to retaliate now.

As long as the real culprit behind the case can be found out, Zhongsun's family probably won't be able to escape.So if there is a chance later, he'd better give Bai Ziqi an assist.

After thinking about this, He Lingchuan's mind also understood.After the donkey cart walked all the way, he chatted with Lao Ge all the way.

Lao Ge's attitude towards him was very different from the last time he led the group. He took the trouble to answer any questions, and even saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes when he smiled.

He Lingchuan originally thought that only human beings are arrogant and respectful.But this gibbon clearly knows it too.

He understands that apart from being the aura of a Chi Yan envoy, the main reason is that he is famous in Lingxu City.

There are advantages to being friends with famous people.

Through the conversation, I learned that Lao Ge was born in Shanyu Country. He left his hometown and came to Lingxu 20 years ago, where he has gradually grown.The main business is wholesale trading of fishery goods - from He Lingchuan's understanding, he should be the "fisherman" in the fishing market in this area - as a sideline business, he just does everything.

If the Chen brothers were not dead, as long as He Lingchuan paid some money, Lao Ge would be more than happy to teach them a lesson.

According to the words He Lingchuan learned in another world, it can be used to describe Lao Ge just right:

Bull ghosts and snake spirits.

While talking, the donkey cart drove through a busy street.There was a lot of people here, and it was much more prosperous than Nanli District, but He Lingchuan saw a large area of ​​burnt gravel on the side of the road.

The buildings covering an area of ​​hundreds of square meters were burnt to the point where only broken tiles remained, and only a few large black pillars were barely standing.

There are not many people here, they come and go, they are all cleaning up the mess, but the work is done lazily.

"Where is this?" He Lingchuan roughly guessed.

"Qingfu Temple." Roadside construction, the traffic ahead was crowded, and the donkey cart also slowed down. "A few days ago, the water went out. In just over an hour, even the temple and people were burned clean."

"This is Lingxu City, no one has used magic to extinguish fire?"

"It is said that fires broke out in several places in the temple at the same time, and there was a northerly wind that night, and the fire was blown up by the wind." Lao Ge said, "The residents nearby told me that the flames were red with blue. It’s not Fan Huo. The government sent a water dragon cart, and they also recruited a lot of magicians to practice it, but it’s useless!”

"With all these houses burned down within an hour?"

"Yes, burn it all up." Lao Ge shook his head, "A powerful man came here after hearing the news, and the Qingfu Temple has been burned down."

"How many people died?" Hey, the dignitaries of Lingxu City like killing people so much?
"I don't know the specifics, but there must be seventy or eighty?" Lao Ge scratched his head, "Originally, the incense here is very prosperous, and tourists like to come to pay respects."

"Which god did you offer?"

"True Monarch Tong Ming."

"..." He Lingchuan couldn't even explain how he felt when he heard the name of this god.He Chunhua was almost beheaded by his entire family because the He family was reported to pay homage to Tongming Zhenjun.

Looking at Lingxu City, the temple is majestically located on the side of the most prosperous street, worshiped by all people.

"It seems that this temple has also been involved in the elixir case." He Lingchuan asked him, "Have you heard?"

"Eternal medicine?" Lao Ge didn't even blink, "I haven't heard of it. Does this thing have anything to do with ordinary people?"

He Lingchuan smiled: "Of course not."

Lao Ge gritted his teeth: "I only bring tourists here to pay homage, and I don't know about the rest."

He is a smart ape, he knows very well what he can intervene in, and what things he should hide as far away as possible.

The donkey cart soon stopped at a small square.

He Lingchuan needs to change trains here, and take a deer cart with other passengers to Xushan.

Ruins Mountain was the top priority of his trip to Lingxu City, no matter how many troubles he still had on his body, he had to go for a field investigation.

The two moose were half-stuffed with hay, and now they held their heads high and were full of energy.After more than a dozen guests got into the car, they trotted and ruminated.

This level of running is equivalent to walking for them, without delaying meals.

Looking at the costumes of tourists, there are many places in the world.

The two strong mandrills that He Lingchuan saw with the group last time were the last to get into the car.A guest looked at them and asked weakly, "Who are these two?"

With a face full of flesh, he doesn't look like a good monkey at first glance.

"The guard on the car." Lao Ge showed a kind smile, "Please pay a lot of money to protect us."

Instead, the guest was worried: "Is the Xu Mountain unsafe, or is the road unsafe?"

"It's all safe." Old Ge was generous and generous, "You can't ignore the security just because you're always safe. If someone makes a mistake climbing the mountain, these two will come in handy!"

There are two young men with weak crowns on the deer cart, talking freely as if no one else is there, one has big ears and the other has a handsome face.He Lingchuan saw that they came together, and their clothes were similar, so they probably came from the same source.

Taking a closer look, it still looks familiar.

There were not many empty seats in the car, so He Lingchuan sat with them.

Seeing He Lingchuan's imposing manner, his gait and expression were different from others, the handsome man immediately cupped his fists and said with a smile: "Oh, we seem to have seen each other at the Dunyuan sale?"

He Lingchuan replied: "I said it looks familiar, so it's the two of you."

This is the guest who bought the unknown strange thing in the god bone necklace at the Dunyuan sales fair.

"Have you bought the horn-like object and asked someone to identify it?"

The two shook their heads: "No, it was stolen."

"Stolen by..."? "What's going on, have you reported it?"

"On the second day after we left Dunyuan, we just wanted to find some capable people in Lingxu City to appraise it, but the object disappeared. I remember that I put it in the storage ring before going to bed, and woke up the next day. It's gone." The handsome man said, "I have already reported the case to the local government office, but after so many days, there is no response."

He Lingchuan let out a sigh: "You must have been targeted long ago." The price of the thing is not expensive, so why don't people who are interested in it go to the scene to participate in the auction, but steal it afterwards?

"What is this picture for?"

He Lingchuan's heart skipped a beat. At the side of the showcase at the sales site, the soul-absorbing mirror reminded him that there were several people following him.But after he left the display cabinet, those people did not follow him.

So are they actually staring at these unknown strange objects?Want to see who the buyer is?
"That's all, it's not expensive anyway, so just treat it as a waste of money and eliminate disasters." The guests who can be invited to Dunyuan are at least not ordinary people, and the man is more enthusiastic, "Come, let's get to know each other again. My name is Jiang Tao, he is Gao Jilin, we are from Zhi country. What is your name?"

"Congratulations." He Lingchuan blinked, "The single name is a cloud word, from Fu Kingdom."

He came up with a random pseudonym because Jiang Tao was too talkative.If he reported his real name, I'm afraid there will be no peace along the way.

Fuguo is a small place, so Jiang Tao said "ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"I remember that Fuguo seems to produce a kind of fragrant wood, which is fragrant and antiseptic. I always keep it in my house."

He Lingchuan hummed: "Yunxiangmu."

"Yes, yes. Where did Brother He go to high school?"

He Lingchuan replied vaguely: "I haven't settled down yet, we'll talk about it when I get back from this trip."

Jiang Tao oh again, and his enthusiasm lost two more points.

It turned out that he was a homeless student, with some wealth and connections in his family, and he would have experience in Lingxu City to study abroad. In a small place like Fuguo, he could find a very good public job with just a few favors.

He Lingchuan asked back and found out that these two were students sent by Zhiguo to Lingxu City. They came here to observe and study, and they were the children of high-ranking officials in their own country.

It turned out to be a government-sponsored overseas student.

There are a large number of foreign students living in Lingxu City.They are studying in the academy, while observing the scenery, laws, and human relationships of Lingxu City, the best of them can even enter the royal court as officials.

Zhi Country is a small country in the northeast of Bega, with a population of less than 500 million, not as many people as Lingxu City. However, there are two natural deep-water ports on the seashore that do not freeze in winter. Commercial freight can also live well.

Jiang Tao talked, talking about what he had seen and heard in Lingxu City, even if others didn't speak, he could sing a one-man show by himself.

He was full of admiration and admiration for Lingxu City, and he could give endless examples to illustrate.

The mandrill sitting in the back row kept digging its ears, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Lao Ge also rolled his eyes a few times.This guy is so capable, his voice was all the way along the way, I was going to do some explanations along the way, but now I don’t bother to open my voice.
