The wine glass in Gui Linguang's hand had already been delivered to Chu Wei, and he meant that the wine would not be withdrawn if he didn't drink it.
Chu Wei raised his hand and pushed it over: "My eyes are hurt, so I can't drink alcohol."
When he said this, the boy's expression was very calm, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong or embarrassed at all.
Guilin just looked at him for a while, then withdrew his hand.
"It's really boring for you to look like this."
Although the talk was boring, Gui Linguang did not leave, but drank wine on his own, and those people were discussing the massacre in his ears. It seemed that everyone was still worried about this matter.
Chu Wei got the Zongmen's order, so he was going to go to the government here after he finished eating, and hand over the case this time.
This matter can be hung up in Xuantianzong's council hall as a matter of urgency, which shows that the matter is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface, and it must involve some abnormal situations. As for what is abnormal, you should probably ask the government.
After drinking, Gui Linguang went to the government with Chu Wei.
When the people in the government heard that Chu Wei was a cultivator from the sect, they immediately welcomed him warmly.
Although he was very curious about his eyes, and couldn't help but wonder how he could investigate if he was blind, but no one dared to ask more about the immortal, and only hoped that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible.
After listening to what the government said, Chu Wei roughly understood the whole story.
The family name of this merchant is Yang, and the owner is Yang Bozhong. It is one of the many merchants in Tianshan City. The family is not top-notch rich, but it is also well-fed. There are servants and maidservants in the family. There are 26 people in total.
It stands to reason that there is nothing special about such a family. In Tianshan City, there are eighty if not a hundred merchants like this. Why did this family get exterminated.
After excluding robbers who robbed and murdered, and villains acting mischievously, the government listed this incident as a vendetta.
But they didn't know who the murderer was, and they didn't leave any clues at the scene.
The Yang family was clean and tidy from the inside to the outside, with no traces of fighting or struggling, and no one heard a scream or shout in the middle of the night, as if this group of people... committed suicide collectively.
They cut their own wrists and drained the blood from their bodies, and then hung themselves on the shelves in the yard.
A sharp weapon was found at the scene, which was a sharp dagger. After comparison, this dagger was the murder weapon that cut the tendons of the hands and feet of the Yang family.
But in the end, the murder weapon was in the hands of the Patriarch Yang Bozhong.
Judging from the traces at the scene, this is the case, but... this is simply an impossible thing to happen.
So the government urgently reported the matter to the nearest contact point of Xuanfeng Sword Sect, hoping that the Sword Sect could send someone to assist in the investigation.
It happened that Chu Wei was in Tianshan City, so this matter fell on his head for the time being.
Although there will be brothers and sisters coming over later, it will take two days to come from the sect, and these two days are the time Chu Wei uses for investigation.
The people in the government didn't expect that the people from Xianmen came so quickly, they were eager to hand over this matter as soon as possible, it seemed that this matter was not done by normal people.
After hearing this, Chu Wei proposed to go to the scene to see it.
Probably because the scene was too bloody, few people were willing to go there again, and no one dared to move the corpse until now, for fear of destroying the scene and losing some important news.
Chu Wei didn't force them, and passed by himself.
Guilin Guanglao God followed him on the ground, as if nothing happened.
Chu Wei tilted his head: "Brother Gui, is there nothing else?"
Guilin Guang shook his head: "I just came here to play, what can I do, you see that your eyesight is not convenient now, we have had a meal together at least, we are friends now, since we are friends, let me help You."
Chu Wei didn't say yes or no, and walked over to Yang's house on his own.
The surrounding area of the Yang family was sealed off by the government, and no one else was allowed to approach it. The coffin at the door had not been moved. It is said that they wanted to wait for the investigators to come and see it before making arrangements.
Before Chu Wei got close to the coffin, he frowned at the strong smell of blood on it.
With such a heavy smell of blood, how much blood must be glued on it.
He lingered around the door and scanned the coffin with his divine sense.
There were indeed some bloody clothes in the coffin, besides...he seemed to be aware of residual spiritual power.
This spiritual power contained a strong hostility. Although it was only a little bit, it was enough to make Chu Wei care.
The corpses of the 26 members of the Yang family were still hanging in the yard, each with their necks hanging. The blood on their hands and feet had dried up, but the blood on the big beach under their feet showed what kind of tragedy had happened here.
These people were drained of their blood drop by drop, and watched their lives disappear bit by bit in despair, but they were helpless.
They couldn't cry out, couldn't even cry out in pain, and could only watch their relatives bleed to death one by one, and were finally hung on the rack in the yard.
Chu Wei carefully avoided the blood under his feet and walked into the house.
The house was indeed very tidy, without leaving any clues, and I couldn't even see a footprint in a hurry.
Chu Wei noticed that the dead were all barefoot.
In the middle of the night, everyone must have fallen asleep, so naturally they would not be wearing shoes.
But under what circumstances, let them forget to wear shoes when they walked into the yard, there can only be one explanation, that is, everyone is under control.
It's not that they don't wear shoes, but they can't wear shoes, so they can only walk outside under the control of others.
The front hall is used to entertain people, the house in the middle is all the residences of servants, and the place further behind is the place where the family members of the master live.
Chu Wei walked from room to room, and finally stopped in front of a door.
Guilin Guang poked his head over: "This looks like a study room, do you want to go in?"
Before Chu Wei could finish his question, he raised his hand and pushed open the door of the study.
"The study should be the most important place in the house. If Yang Bozhong has any important letters or things that need to be hidden, they might be placed in the study."
Guilin Guang: "What are you looking for these things for?"
He asked like this on his mouth, but his hands had already begun to flip through these things.
Chu Wei raised his hand and touched these books accurately, and said softly: "If it is seeking revenge, then the Yang family must have done something to hate the murderer, I just want to try my luck and see if there is any There is no such thing as a hidden compartment, so we can see if Yang Bozhong is hiding any privacy."
Guilin Guang flipped through the books one by one: "Your way of thinking is unique, but if a normal person really did something utterly unconscionable, they wouldn't leave evidence for themselves, would they?"
Chu Wei said expressionlessly: "That's why I said, give it a try."
As he spoke, he turned a very inconspicuous small vase in his hand.
With a "click", something was slowly opened.
Gui Linguang couldn't help whistling: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart, and you can even know this."
Chu Wei didn't feel that he was being praised, but said as a matter of course: "This is common sense."
Guilin Guang: ...
For some reason, I felt like I was being scolded.
What was opened was a very heavy bookshelf, behind which a dark staircase was revealed.
This is probably Yang Bozhong's own private chamber.
Chu Wei lifted his foot and walked down.
The secret room is so dark that you can hardly see your fingers.
For him, this is not a problem at all, he no longer relies on his eyes to tell the direction.
Chu Wei walked very fast, and arrived downstairs in the blink of an eye.
Guilin Guang followed from behind: "Wait for me, you still walk so fast with poor eyesight."
Chu Wei hooked his lips: "It's just that it's hard to make it go so fast."
Gui Linguang complained a few words: "You are used to walking in the dark, but I am not used to it."
As he said that, he waved his hand and lit a circle of oil lamps hanging on the wall in the underground secret room.
The secret room suddenly lit up.
Chu Wei was about to check the surrounding situation when he heard Guilin Guang gasp: "My God, is this really a small business?"
Listening to his tone of voice, Chu Wei revealed his consciousness again.
The scene in front of him stunned him.
There are six huge wooden boxes lined up against the wall, and the boxes have been opened by Guilin Guang at this time.
The chest is full of gold and silver treasures, and there are countless silver bills and the like.
Not to mention small merchants, if the money is taken out, they can already be regarded as rich merchants in Tianshan City.
Guilin Guang clicked his tongue twice: "Boss Yang obviously has a ghost."
Chu Wei scanned them one by one, and found that these things were genuine treasures, and the bank notes were also exchangeable in the largest commercial banks.
Such a huge amount of wealth does not seem to be earned by Yang Bozhong as a small businessman.
Chu Wei let go of these treasures and started looking for other things.
There are quite a lot of things collected in this house, there are precious antique vases, calligraphy and paintings of famous families worth thousands of gold, if you scan them one by one, they are all good things.
Chu Wei picked up a vase and found a Korean character at the bottom of the vase.
He suddenly remembered that when he entered the door, he touched the front of the coffin, and there was also a Korean character written on it.
He put down the vase and turned to look at the boxes.
The boxes were all custom-made tin boxes. He searched around and found a Korean character on the lower side of the box.
Some kind of speculation crossed his mind.
Chu Wei seemed to have guessed who the murderer was.
But this is just guesswork.
At this moment, he heard the sound of a drawer being pulled.
Chu Wei turned his head: "What did you find?"
Guilin Guang paused without a trace, and immediately said: "I found several letters, I don't know if it has something to do with this matter."
Chu Wei walked over a few steps and asked, "What is written in the letter?"
Guilin Guang opened the letter without haste, and scanned it hastily.
"Nothing special, just a family letter to greet each other."
Chu Wei simply took the letter, touched the letter with his fingers, and these words jumped into his mind one by one.
This is indeed a letter from home. The person who wrote the letter seems to be a woman. It contains all the daily routines, how the weather is, what you eat, what interesting things happened recently, etc., but there is a Han Character.
Chu Wei opened several letters in a row like this.
Under what circumstances would a woman chatter about these insignificant things with a man, and the words of the person who wrote the letter revealed a kind of intimacy and joy, sharing not only life, but also his own mood.
These letters were not destroyed, but were hidden in such a secret basement. How did the people who hid the letters feel?
He put away the envelope and hurried up.
Guilin Guang followed behind him and asked, "Hey, Fellow Daoist Chu, where are you going? Are you waiting for me?"
Chu Wei: "Go to the government."
……
"A big family surnamed Han?"
The magistrate was a little strange when he heard what Chu Wei asked. He thought for a while and shook his head.
"There is no family named Han among the well-known big families in Tianshan City."
Chu Wei thought about the paper and ink.
"Going forward, it's not now, for example, ten years ago, or a little further away."
The prefect shook his head: "I don't know about that. I have only been the prefect in Tianshan City for five years. If you want to know these things, you need to go to the archives."
Chu Wei: "Take me there."
The magistrate did not send anyone, but took Chu Wei to the file warehouse by himself.
The warehouse where the files are placed is at the end of the government office. It is a large warehouse, and all the files from the past are stored in this.
It's just that no one has disturbed them for a long time. When the door was opened, the dust that hit their faces made everyone cough twice.
Even Chu Wei couldn't help coughing because of the unexpected smell.
The magistrate smiled embarrassingly: "There is nothing particularly important recently, so I didn't send someone to clean it."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the immortal in front of him had somehow made a decision, and the entire dossier was completely renewed in an instant, and even the choking musty smell disappeared without a trace.
He was immediately in awe of the person in front of him, and his original admiration became even more pious now.
Chu Wei was also helpless, how lazy he must be, to be able to dirty the file library like this.
He walked into the house in a few steps, and said to the magistrate who followed: "Send a few more people to find out all the information about the Han family in the past 20 years. The focus is on the rich and big merchants."
The magistrate nodded quickly: "Hey, I'll go right away."
Gui Linguang, who stood behind him silently, scanned the files one by one, and followed behind to help.
While he was busy, he asked, "How do you know that this has something to do with the Han family?"
Chu Wei's eyesight is inconvenient, and he had to touch all these files one by one to know what was written on them. Hearing the words, he replied: "Those boxes, vases, and the Korean characters written on the coffin, aren't they fair and above board?" Tell me, does this have anything to do with the Han family?"
If there were no Korean characters on the coffin, he might not be so sure, but now, he is very sure that the murderer behind the scenes is not afraid to investigate his identity by himself, and even lures Chu Wei to discover the truth hidden inside.
Gui Linguang nodded: "It makes sense, it seems that the other party is a bit reckless."
Chu Wei, who had his back turned to him, didn't notice. When he said this, Guilin Guang's eyes flashed with some indescribable interest, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting.
The prefect soon brought in a group of officials who could read.
The dossiers and materials of Tianshan City have been stored for so many years in the dossier. Rows and rows of bookshelves are full of books. Finding such a family from so many materials is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But only this needle must be fished out.
The officials were in charge of finding people surnamed Han, while Chu Wei and the magistrate were in charge of checking the merchants. Guilin Guang sat beside Chu Wei patiently and helped him read the documents.
A group of more than a dozen people watched from day to night, and finally finished scanning all the files.
From these files, we found a total of 560 households surnamed Han. After excluding the poor ones who moved away later, there were a total of 82 commercial households among the remaining people, but only two households were particularly rich.
These two households are essentially the same family, but the eldest and second child separated later, so they were split into two households.
Chu Wei made a final decision, it was this one.
Then, all the family's information was found out.
Chu Wei found out that 12 years ago, the whole family of this family was buried in the fire because of flooding, and no one survived. It's unbelievable that something like this happened to them.
He compared the information of the Yang family. The merchants of the Yang family really started to improve 12 years ago. Although they have not been able to become rich and wealthy in these years, they have no worries about food and clothing and lack of everything.
To say there is no connection between the two would be hell.
Now Chu Wei is even more convinced that this matter must have something to do with the Han family.
The 12-year-old Han family was very prosperous in Tianshan City. It is the wealthiest big family in Tianshan City. It not only makes good friends with the government, but even opened shops in Kyoto, with branches everywhere.
When everyone mentions the Han family, their eyes are full of longing.
Mr. Han started to do business in his generation, and even went to sea. Both sons also have a business mind. They inherited their father's spirit of daring to venture and do, and soon established a foundation in Tianshan City.
Later, the elder brother and the second child separated for unknown reasons, the specific reasons cannot be tested, but since then, the old man's health has been weakening day by day, and he passed away not long after.
After a period of time, the elders moved away from Tianshan City for unknown reasons, and have not returned since.
And the family that was burned by the fire was the second family.
Chu Wei also discovered that the second child's family had three children, two daughters and one son.
The eldest daughter had already married far away, and the second son had also married. Only the third daughter was still in her boudoir. Before she could get married, everything was burned because of a fire.
After reading all the materials, Chu Wei sighed softly.
If it was really the Han family's revenge, then when their house caught fire and their entire family was wiped out, then who is helping them to avenge?
How did Yang Bozhong kill the whole family in the first place, and so quietly that no one was found out, and he kept the jewelry of the Han family for 12 years, even the Korean characters on it None of them were destroyed, and they were just placed in the secret room.
It was already dark, and when Chu Wei came out of the government office, he felt a buzzing pain in his head.
His mind was full of things, and because of excessive use of divine sense, his whole body felt exhausted.
Just stepped into the golden elixir stage, and my state of mind is not stable enough.
If it weren't for this, he might have followed a place and retreated to practice.
Gui Linguang followed behind him, feeling lazy, yawned and said, "It's so late, why don't you go back and rest first, I'm sleepy."
Chu Wei nodded: "Okay."
It's just that on the way back, he always felt that he had overlooked something.
After walking a few steps, he stopped again.
Guilin Guang turned around: "Why don't you leave?"
Chu Wei: "I want to go back and have a look."
Guilin Guang: "Where are you going?"
Chu Wei: "The Yang family."
Guilin Guang trembled suddenly: "It's late at night, their house is full of corpses, now it's over?"
Does this count as high art and boldness?
But Chu Wei had already turned in one direction and walked quickly towards Yang's house.
He always felt that he had overlooked something, something strange, but he just couldn't remember it.
It's just that before he reached Yang's house, flames burst into the sky not far away, and looking in the direction, it was the direction where Yang's house was.
Someone wants to destroy the corpse.
"It's running out of water... Come quickly."
"It's burning, it's burning, put out the fire quickly."
"This fire... This fire is too weird, why did it suddenly start burning?"
When the flames shot up into the sky, Chu Wei's figure had already disappeared in place.
Tianshan City is covered with ice and snow all year round, and there are officials guarding the houses around, so this kind of fire will definitely not be invisible.
But the fire was discovered only after it was so big. It can only be said that the person who set the fire was not an ordinary person.
He rushed to the front and looked at the soaring flames, which almost covered the entire Yang residence.
Burn it down in this way, but no evidence can be kept.
Chu Wei suddenly rose from the ground, and his whole body was suspended in the air. In this dark night, Chu Wei's white figure was unexpectedly eye-catching.
"The fairy... the fairy has appeared."
"Come and meet the immortal."
"This fire is saved."
The people who came out to watch the excitement saw Chu Wei's figure and knelt down one after another.
The blue gauze covered by Chu Wei's eyes fluttered in the wind, and when he raised his hand, all the ice and snow on the roofs of the whole city gathered in his hands as if they were alive.
Then it turned ice into water at an unbelievable speed, pouring down on Yang Zhai like a torrential rain.
The overwhelming water curtain was like a flood that opened the gate, instantly submerging the Yang residence, and in an instant, the fire was completely extinguished.
This happened in the blink of an eye.
All the water splashed on Yang's house, but none of the onlookers touched it.
Guilin Guang applauded from the side: "It's amazing, it's amazing."
Chu Wei didn't have time to pay attention to him, but ran over in a hurry.
The corpses hanging on the racks in the yard were all burnt and lying on the ground in disorder.
The whole house has been destroyed and it is not looking good. There are ruins, dark walls, and the spine that has been burned, and there is darkness everywhere.
The person behind the scene was actually right under his nose, wanting to destroy the corpse.
The only thing that was intact was the coffin in front of the house.
The officials stationed around ran over, looked at Chu Wei's sinking face, and quickly explained: "The house is well guarded, but no one is seen approaching, and it burned for some reason."
"Yeah, not to mention people, even a bird couldn't fly in."
"When we discovered the fire, the house was already burning badly, as if it burst out suddenly. It's really... too weird."
Chu Wei shook his hand, but he felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling, which had a biting chill, like a ghost crawling out of a deep abyss, approaching him rapidly.
There was a clang, the sound of a sword colliding with a sharp blade.
He heard Guilin Guang ask sharply: "What is it, hide your head and show your tail, get out of here for me."
Not only him, but Guilin Guang obviously noticed it too.
The surrounding officers and soldiers suddenly panicked.
Human beings are always extremely terrified of unknown things, especially things that are invisible, intangible, and even life-threatening.
Chu Wei drew a barrier on the spot, and said: "Don't go out of this circle."
Saying that, the figure disappeared in place.
He knew what that feeling was, it was magic energy.
Surprisingly, there are demons near Tianshan City. This cold, foul-smelling, and uncomfortable aura is precisely demonic energy.
Could it be that there are demons involved in this matter?
How did the demons come to this place? Humans and demons are incompatible. Since the end of the 300-year war between humans and demons, the demon world and the human world have been cut off, and the entrance to the demon world has been sealed.
How could there be a demon here? Could it be that the seal has been broken?
Many questions lingered in Chu Wei's mind.
He has never fought a monster head-on, but he can feel that this monster must be a powerful thing, otherwise, how could it be beaten and left under the noses of him and Gui Linguang.
The two chased after the demon's breath, but after chasing to the suburbs, there was no sign of the demon at all.
Guilin Guang wondered: "What is this thing? It's invisible and invisible. It's so powerful."
Chu Wei said in a calm voice, "It's a demon."
This matter is no longer a simple massacre. If there are demons mixed in with the human race, it will trigger another war between humans and demons. At that time, it is uncertain how people will be killed and blood will flow into rivers.
Chu Weidang used the message talisman to send news to the Zongmen, hoping that someone would come to support him as soon as possible.
He even wanted to look for Rong, but now Chu Wei realized that he didn't know how to contact this man at all. The other party only had one word, and no one knew his last name. He knew nothing at all.
Chu Wei was anxious, fearing that the other party would use some trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he returned to Yang's house.
The magistrate slept until midnight and was dragged up, rubbing his eyes to deal with this matter.
This is simply that misfortunes never come singly, even if you destroy the family, but now you want to set fire to destroy the corpses and traces.
Chu Wei snorted coldly: "If you want to destroy the corpse, there is only one guess, that is, he knows what I found, which is very close to the truth."
So his direction is right. Only by thoroughly understanding what happened between the Han family and Yang Bozhong, can the murderer be found out.
In order not to have any accidents, Chu Wei simply used spirit stones to spread a barrier around the entire Yang residence, and found the nearest inn to live in.
From the window, you can directly see the situation of Yang's house.
In the middle of the night, I didn't expect Xiaobai to find him.
This big lazy cat-like spirit beast circled around Chu Wei's feet a few times, and finally jumped into his arms, closing its eyes lazily.
Chu Wei pinched his ears, and sat by the window until dawn.
After dawn, the people living around looked at the fire in Yang's house and shook their heads, sighing for a while.
Chu Wei put the spirit beast on the bed and let him continue to sleep, but the little thing seemed to be full of sleep, jumped off the bed, and followed him lazily.
Chu Wei rubbed his head: "Is the injury healed?"
Xiaobai opened his mouth, licked his paw with his tongue, and showed him.
The place where the hand was originally had had pink fresh flesh, and even a pinch of fluffy hair emerged.
This kind of recovery ability is simply amazing.
Chu Wei: "Since you want to follow, then follow, but you must pay attention to safety."
Xiao Bai looked at him with some disgust, and went downstairs with his butt twisted.
Undoubtedly, following the massacre of Miemen, this fire has become a new topic of discussion among people, and everyone is discussing this fire one after another.
At this time, an old man in the crowd said slowly: "Except for the wealthy Han family 12 years ago, our Tianshan City has not seen such a big fire for a long time."
Chu Wei stopped walking slowly, walked over in two or three steps, and asked, "Old man, do you know about the fire that happened 12 years ago?"
Many people recognized Chu Wei as the immortal who cast spells to put out the fire last night, and they all stood up and were about to kneel down immediately.
But before the knees touched the ground, there was a force that supported everyone to stand up.
Chu Wei said lightly: "You don't need to kneel to me, I'm not a fairy, what do you know about the fire 12 years ago, please let me know."
As long as the people in Tianshan City are old, no one is unaware of the fire.
The old man was still a little apprehensive. When he said it, he recalled it while talking, and he said it very carefully, for fear that he might remember something wrong.
"The fire started at night back then. It is said that everyone in the Han Mansion was asleep. No one was aware of the fire. Many people were still in their dreams, so they were burned to death in a daze."
"However, there were rumors in the city at the time that their family was too rich to keep their monstrous wealth, so they were locked up by God."
"The fire burned for three full days, and the huge mansion was turned into ashes. Many people even burned their bodies, and they were all turned into ashes."
Chu Wei heard an important point, and quickly asked: "Why are there rumors that they can't keep their wealth?"
The old man patted his head: "Why?"
After coming over for a while, he patted the table: "I remembered, because the fire burned all the treasury and silver treasury of the Han family, leaving no money left."
Chu Wei's face suddenly became weird: "Gold and silver can't be burned cleanly, why no one suspects that someone deliberately set fire and took away their family's gold and silver treasures?"
Hearing this statement, the old man hesitated for a moment: "It's not that no one suspected it, but the government also investigated this matter at that time, and finally came to the conclusion that it was leaking, and there was no such thing as theft. That's it. The coffin is settled."
Chu Wei frowned: "The government checked it back then?"
The old man: "I've checked it. It's such a big fire. I must have checked it, but there is no conclusion. Back then, it was just a word of misconduct, so it was nothing."
Chu Wei stood up immediately and walked outside.
The old man followed behind and waved: "Where are you going, Immortal, I haven't finished talking yet."
Chu Wei waved his hand: "No, thank you."
He rushed to the government office in a hurry.
Because he was pulled out of bed in the middle of the night last night, and the magistrate was still sleeping, Chu Wei broke into his bedroom directly.
He was frightened to learn about the mansion, and wrapped himself in a quilt, thinking that someone would assassinate him.
Chu Wei didn't gossip with him, but asked, "Do you know who was the magistrate of Tianshan City 12 years ago?"
The magistrate was stunned for a long while, but he hadn't recovered from his sleep, so he thought for a while before he remembered.
"The magistrate 12 years ago, he has retired and returned to his hometown, and lives in the city next door to Tianshan City. I don't know the exact location."
Chu Wei: "Check, find out his address immediately, otherwise he will be killed too."
How could it be impossible to find anything about such a big accident 12 years ago? So many gold and silver treasures were said to have been burned.
The only explanation is that the magistrate and Yang Bozhong joined forces to do this.
The two must have split up the stolen money with each other. Now that Yang Bozhong is dead, the prefect may be next.
As long as you find this person before the murderer strikes, you will be able to restore all the truth back then, and you will know who the murderer is.
The magistrate got out of bed in a panic and sent someone to read the files.
Soon, the information of the retired magistrate was retrieved.
In the second year after the fire broke out in the Han family, the magistrate voluntarily resigned from office due to his poor health.
Calculated according to age, the prefect was only over [-] years old when he took office, why did he suddenly get sick, there is nothing tricky about it, it is called a ghost.
After finding the address, Chu Wei didn't hesitate at all, and rushed to the neighboring town with his sword non-stop.
As soon as he left the gate of the magistrate, he bumped into Guilin Guang who was still arranging his hair.
"Chu Daoyou, you are so mean, why didn't you call me when you went out?"
Chu Wei: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Guilin Guang followed behind him, disapproving and said: "Your words are wrong. We cultivators need to have the world in mind. How can we not participate in such things as punishing rape and eradicating evil, catching demons and subduing demons?"
Chu Wei: "It's up to you."
The two hurried all the way to the neighboring city.
After flying for more than an hour, Yujian finally arrived at the neighboring city.
Compared with Tianshan City, it is warmer here, at least there is no phenomenon that the ice and snow do not melt all year round.
After inquiring for a while, Chu Wei found the address of the magistrate who had returned to the field.
Just before going, he said to Gui Linguang, "I want to ask you one thing."
Gui Linguang smiled immediately: "Please don't please, we are so familiar, it's not just a matter of you saying a word."
As he spoke, he put his hand on Chu Wei's shoulder, his eyes fell on his face, and he tentatively squeezed his shoulder.
Chu Wei reacted quickly, and immediately moved away.
He straightened his expression and said solemnly: "Speak as you say, don't touch me, I don't like touching other people."
Gui Linguang rubbed the temperature left on his fingers, but said: "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm used to hooking up with my brothers on weekdays. It's nothing else. I hope Fellow Daoist Chu won't mind."
Chu Wei went on to say: "I hope you can help me set up a formation later."
Guilin Guang was curious: "What kind of formation are you setting up?"
Chu Wei hooked the corners of his lips. Although he couldn't see it, he still looked at Guilin Guang's direction and said, "A formation that lets the devil throw himself into a trap."
Guilin Guang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chu Wei's gourd, but he was willing to play with the children, but the interest in his eyes was even stronger.
It would be a pity if such an interesting child was let go just like that.
Gui Linguang followed behind him unhurriedly, and replied, "All right, all right, do whatever you tell me to do, and I will obey you."
Chu Wei quickly found the magistrate's house, but the house was closed and there was no one there.
I only found out after asking the neighbors that their family has gone out to visit relatives and will not come back until half a month later.
Chu Wei looked at the empty house and suddenly made a plan.
Since no one is there, he might as well make noises about someone.
Chu Wei left Tianshan City on his front foot, and a group of people came from Tianshan City on his back foot.
This group of people was none other than the people from the Xuanfeng Sword Sect who rushed over through the teleportation formation overnight after receiving news from Chu Wei.
If this matter has something to do with demons, it will be a major event that will shock the cultivation world, and this matter cannot be delayed.
The man walking in the front wore a mask that covered half of his face, and there was an air all over his body that made people dare not look directly at him. The group of people behind him were even more trembling, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.
It is related to the entire cultivation world, and the sect even invited all the masters and ancestors
Chu Wei raised his hand and pushed it over: "My eyes are hurt, so I can't drink alcohol."
When he said this, the boy's expression was very calm, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong or embarrassed at all.
Guilin just looked at him for a while, then withdrew his hand.
"It's really boring for you to look like this."
Although the talk was boring, Gui Linguang did not leave, but drank wine on his own, and those people were discussing the massacre in his ears. It seemed that everyone was still worried about this matter.
Chu Wei got the Zongmen's order, so he was going to go to the government here after he finished eating, and hand over the case this time.
This matter can be hung up in Xuantianzong's council hall as a matter of urgency, which shows that the matter is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface, and it must involve some abnormal situations. As for what is abnormal, you should probably ask the government.
After drinking, Gui Linguang went to the government with Chu Wei.
When the people in the government heard that Chu Wei was a cultivator from the sect, they immediately welcomed him warmly.
Although he was very curious about his eyes, and couldn't help but wonder how he could investigate if he was blind, but no one dared to ask more about the immortal, and only hoped that this matter could be resolved as soon as possible.
After listening to what the government said, Chu Wei roughly understood the whole story.
The family name of this merchant is Yang, and the owner is Yang Bozhong. It is one of the many merchants in Tianshan City. The family is not top-notch rich, but it is also well-fed. There are servants and maidservants in the family. There are 26 people in total.
It stands to reason that there is nothing special about such a family. In Tianshan City, there are eighty if not a hundred merchants like this. Why did this family get exterminated.
After excluding robbers who robbed and murdered, and villains acting mischievously, the government listed this incident as a vendetta.
But they didn't know who the murderer was, and they didn't leave any clues at the scene.
The Yang family was clean and tidy from the inside to the outside, with no traces of fighting or struggling, and no one heard a scream or shout in the middle of the night, as if this group of people... committed suicide collectively.
They cut their own wrists and drained the blood from their bodies, and then hung themselves on the shelves in the yard.
A sharp weapon was found at the scene, which was a sharp dagger. After comparison, this dagger was the murder weapon that cut the tendons of the hands and feet of the Yang family.
But in the end, the murder weapon was in the hands of the Patriarch Yang Bozhong.
Judging from the traces at the scene, this is the case, but... this is simply an impossible thing to happen.
So the government urgently reported the matter to the nearest contact point of Xuanfeng Sword Sect, hoping that the Sword Sect could send someone to assist in the investigation.
It happened that Chu Wei was in Tianshan City, so this matter fell on his head for the time being.
Although there will be brothers and sisters coming over later, it will take two days to come from the sect, and these two days are the time Chu Wei uses for investigation.
The people in the government didn't expect that the people from Xianmen came so quickly, they were eager to hand over this matter as soon as possible, it seemed that this matter was not done by normal people.
After hearing this, Chu Wei proposed to go to the scene to see it.
Probably because the scene was too bloody, few people were willing to go there again, and no one dared to move the corpse until now, for fear of destroying the scene and losing some important news.
Chu Wei didn't force them, and passed by himself.
Guilin Guanglao God followed him on the ground, as if nothing happened.
Chu Wei tilted his head: "Brother Gui, is there nothing else?"
Guilin Guang shook his head: "I just came here to play, what can I do, you see that your eyesight is not convenient now, we have had a meal together at least, we are friends now, since we are friends, let me help You."
Chu Wei didn't say yes or no, and walked over to Yang's house on his own.
The surrounding area of the Yang family was sealed off by the government, and no one else was allowed to approach it. The coffin at the door had not been moved. It is said that they wanted to wait for the investigators to come and see it before making arrangements.
Before Chu Wei got close to the coffin, he frowned at the strong smell of blood on it.
With such a heavy smell of blood, how much blood must be glued on it.
He lingered around the door and scanned the coffin with his divine sense.
There were indeed some bloody clothes in the coffin, besides...he seemed to be aware of residual spiritual power.
This spiritual power contained a strong hostility. Although it was only a little bit, it was enough to make Chu Wei care.
The corpses of the 26 members of the Yang family were still hanging in the yard, each with their necks hanging. The blood on their hands and feet had dried up, but the blood on the big beach under their feet showed what kind of tragedy had happened here.
These people were drained of their blood drop by drop, and watched their lives disappear bit by bit in despair, but they were helpless.
They couldn't cry out, couldn't even cry out in pain, and could only watch their relatives bleed to death one by one, and were finally hung on the rack in the yard.
Chu Wei carefully avoided the blood under his feet and walked into the house.
The house was indeed very tidy, without leaving any clues, and I couldn't even see a footprint in a hurry.
Chu Wei noticed that the dead were all barefoot.
In the middle of the night, everyone must have fallen asleep, so naturally they would not be wearing shoes.
But under what circumstances, let them forget to wear shoes when they walked into the yard, there can only be one explanation, that is, everyone is under control.
It's not that they don't wear shoes, but they can't wear shoes, so they can only walk outside under the control of others.
The front hall is used to entertain people, the house in the middle is all the residences of servants, and the place further behind is the place where the family members of the master live.
Chu Wei walked from room to room, and finally stopped in front of a door.
Guilin Guang poked his head over: "This looks like a study room, do you want to go in?"
Before Chu Wei could finish his question, he raised his hand and pushed open the door of the study.
"The study should be the most important place in the house. If Yang Bozhong has any important letters or things that need to be hidden, they might be placed in the study."
Guilin Guang: "What are you looking for these things for?"
He asked like this on his mouth, but his hands had already begun to flip through these things.
Chu Wei raised his hand and touched these books accurately, and said softly: "If it is seeking revenge, then the Yang family must have done something to hate the murderer, I just want to try my luck and see if there is any There is no such thing as a hidden compartment, so we can see if Yang Bozhong is hiding any privacy."
Guilin Guang flipped through the books one by one: "Your way of thinking is unique, but if a normal person really did something utterly unconscionable, they wouldn't leave evidence for themselves, would they?"
Chu Wei said expressionlessly: "That's why I said, give it a try."
As he spoke, he turned a very inconspicuous small vase in his hand.
With a "click", something was slowly opened.
Gui Linguang couldn't help whistling: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart, and you can even know this."
Chu Wei didn't feel that he was being praised, but said as a matter of course: "This is common sense."
Guilin Guang: ...
For some reason, I felt like I was being scolded.
What was opened was a very heavy bookshelf, behind which a dark staircase was revealed.
This is probably Yang Bozhong's own private chamber.
Chu Wei lifted his foot and walked down.
The secret room is so dark that you can hardly see your fingers.
For him, this is not a problem at all, he no longer relies on his eyes to tell the direction.
Chu Wei walked very fast, and arrived downstairs in the blink of an eye.
Guilin Guang followed from behind: "Wait for me, you still walk so fast with poor eyesight."
Chu Wei hooked his lips: "It's just that it's hard to make it go so fast."
Gui Linguang complained a few words: "You are used to walking in the dark, but I am not used to it."
As he said that, he waved his hand and lit a circle of oil lamps hanging on the wall in the underground secret room.
The secret room suddenly lit up.
Chu Wei was about to check the surrounding situation when he heard Guilin Guang gasp: "My God, is this really a small business?"
Listening to his tone of voice, Chu Wei revealed his consciousness again.
The scene in front of him stunned him.
There are six huge wooden boxes lined up against the wall, and the boxes have been opened by Guilin Guang at this time.
The chest is full of gold and silver treasures, and there are countless silver bills and the like.
Not to mention small merchants, if the money is taken out, they can already be regarded as rich merchants in Tianshan City.
Guilin Guang clicked his tongue twice: "Boss Yang obviously has a ghost."
Chu Wei scanned them one by one, and found that these things were genuine treasures, and the bank notes were also exchangeable in the largest commercial banks.
Such a huge amount of wealth does not seem to be earned by Yang Bozhong as a small businessman.
Chu Wei let go of these treasures and started looking for other things.
There are quite a lot of things collected in this house, there are precious antique vases, calligraphy and paintings of famous families worth thousands of gold, if you scan them one by one, they are all good things.
Chu Wei picked up a vase and found a Korean character at the bottom of the vase.
He suddenly remembered that when he entered the door, he touched the front of the coffin, and there was also a Korean character written on it.
He put down the vase and turned to look at the boxes.
The boxes were all custom-made tin boxes. He searched around and found a Korean character on the lower side of the box.
Some kind of speculation crossed his mind.
Chu Wei seemed to have guessed who the murderer was.
But this is just guesswork.
At this moment, he heard the sound of a drawer being pulled.
Chu Wei turned his head: "What did you find?"
Guilin Guang paused without a trace, and immediately said: "I found several letters, I don't know if it has something to do with this matter."
Chu Wei walked over a few steps and asked, "What is written in the letter?"
Guilin Guang opened the letter without haste, and scanned it hastily.
"Nothing special, just a family letter to greet each other."
Chu Wei simply took the letter, touched the letter with his fingers, and these words jumped into his mind one by one.
This is indeed a letter from home. The person who wrote the letter seems to be a woman. It contains all the daily routines, how the weather is, what you eat, what interesting things happened recently, etc., but there is a Han Character.
Chu Wei opened several letters in a row like this.
Under what circumstances would a woman chatter about these insignificant things with a man, and the words of the person who wrote the letter revealed a kind of intimacy and joy, sharing not only life, but also his own mood.
These letters were not destroyed, but were hidden in such a secret basement. How did the people who hid the letters feel?
He put away the envelope and hurried up.
Guilin Guang followed behind him and asked, "Hey, Fellow Daoist Chu, where are you going? Are you waiting for me?"
Chu Wei: "Go to the government."
……
"A big family surnamed Han?"
The magistrate was a little strange when he heard what Chu Wei asked. He thought for a while and shook his head.
"There is no family named Han among the well-known big families in Tianshan City."
Chu Wei thought about the paper and ink.
"Going forward, it's not now, for example, ten years ago, or a little further away."
The prefect shook his head: "I don't know about that. I have only been the prefect in Tianshan City for five years. If you want to know these things, you need to go to the archives."
Chu Wei: "Take me there."
The magistrate did not send anyone, but took Chu Wei to the file warehouse by himself.
The warehouse where the files are placed is at the end of the government office. It is a large warehouse, and all the files from the past are stored in this.
It's just that no one has disturbed them for a long time. When the door was opened, the dust that hit their faces made everyone cough twice.
Even Chu Wei couldn't help coughing because of the unexpected smell.
The magistrate smiled embarrassingly: "There is nothing particularly important recently, so I didn't send someone to clean it."
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the immortal in front of him had somehow made a decision, and the entire dossier was completely renewed in an instant, and even the choking musty smell disappeared without a trace.
He was immediately in awe of the person in front of him, and his original admiration became even more pious now.
Chu Wei was also helpless, how lazy he must be, to be able to dirty the file library like this.
He walked into the house in a few steps, and said to the magistrate who followed: "Send a few more people to find out all the information about the Han family in the past 20 years. The focus is on the rich and big merchants."
The magistrate nodded quickly: "Hey, I'll go right away."
Gui Linguang, who stood behind him silently, scanned the files one by one, and followed behind to help.
While he was busy, he asked, "How do you know that this has something to do with the Han family?"
Chu Wei's eyesight is inconvenient, and he had to touch all these files one by one to know what was written on them. Hearing the words, he replied: "Those boxes, vases, and the Korean characters written on the coffin, aren't they fair and above board?" Tell me, does this have anything to do with the Han family?"
If there were no Korean characters on the coffin, he might not be so sure, but now, he is very sure that the murderer behind the scenes is not afraid to investigate his identity by himself, and even lures Chu Wei to discover the truth hidden inside.
Gui Linguang nodded: "It makes sense, it seems that the other party is a bit reckless."
Chu Wei, who had his back turned to him, didn't notice. When he said this, Guilin Guang's eyes flashed with some indescribable interest, as if he had discovered something extremely interesting.
The prefect soon brought in a group of officials who could read.
The dossiers and materials of Tianshan City have been stored for so many years in the dossier. Rows and rows of bookshelves are full of books. Finding such a family from so many materials is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.
But only this needle must be fished out.
The officials were in charge of finding people surnamed Han, while Chu Wei and the magistrate were in charge of checking the merchants. Guilin Guang sat beside Chu Wei patiently and helped him read the documents.
A group of more than a dozen people watched from day to night, and finally finished scanning all the files.
From these files, we found a total of 560 households surnamed Han. After excluding the poor ones who moved away later, there were a total of 82 commercial households among the remaining people, but only two households were particularly rich.
These two households are essentially the same family, but the eldest and second child separated later, so they were split into two households.
Chu Wei made a final decision, it was this one.
Then, all the family's information was found out.
Chu Wei found out that 12 years ago, the whole family of this family was buried in the fire because of flooding, and no one survived. It's unbelievable that something like this happened to them.
He compared the information of the Yang family. The merchants of the Yang family really started to improve 12 years ago. Although they have not been able to become rich and wealthy in these years, they have no worries about food and clothing and lack of everything.
To say there is no connection between the two would be hell.
Now Chu Wei is even more convinced that this matter must have something to do with the Han family.
The 12-year-old Han family was very prosperous in Tianshan City. It is the wealthiest big family in Tianshan City. It not only makes good friends with the government, but even opened shops in Kyoto, with branches everywhere.
When everyone mentions the Han family, their eyes are full of longing.
Mr. Han started to do business in his generation, and even went to sea. Both sons also have a business mind. They inherited their father's spirit of daring to venture and do, and soon established a foundation in Tianshan City.
Later, the elder brother and the second child separated for unknown reasons, the specific reasons cannot be tested, but since then, the old man's health has been weakening day by day, and he passed away not long after.
After a period of time, the elders moved away from Tianshan City for unknown reasons, and have not returned since.
And the family that was burned by the fire was the second family.
Chu Wei also discovered that the second child's family had three children, two daughters and one son.
The eldest daughter had already married far away, and the second son had also married. Only the third daughter was still in her boudoir. Before she could get married, everything was burned because of a fire.
After reading all the materials, Chu Wei sighed softly.
If it was really the Han family's revenge, then when their house caught fire and their entire family was wiped out, then who is helping them to avenge?
How did Yang Bozhong kill the whole family in the first place, and so quietly that no one was found out, and he kept the jewelry of the Han family for 12 years, even the Korean characters on it None of them were destroyed, and they were just placed in the secret room.
It was already dark, and when Chu Wei came out of the government office, he felt a buzzing pain in his head.
His mind was full of things, and because of excessive use of divine sense, his whole body felt exhausted.
Just stepped into the golden elixir stage, and my state of mind is not stable enough.
If it weren't for this, he might have followed a place and retreated to practice.
Gui Linguang followed behind him, feeling lazy, yawned and said, "It's so late, why don't you go back and rest first, I'm sleepy."
Chu Wei nodded: "Okay."
It's just that on the way back, he always felt that he had overlooked something.
After walking a few steps, he stopped again.
Guilin Guang turned around: "Why don't you leave?"
Chu Wei: "I want to go back and have a look."
Guilin Guang: "Where are you going?"
Chu Wei: "The Yang family."
Guilin Guang trembled suddenly: "It's late at night, their house is full of corpses, now it's over?"
Does this count as high art and boldness?
But Chu Wei had already turned in one direction and walked quickly towards Yang's house.
He always felt that he had overlooked something, something strange, but he just couldn't remember it.
It's just that before he reached Yang's house, flames burst into the sky not far away, and looking in the direction, it was the direction where Yang's house was.
Someone wants to destroy the corpse.
"It's running out of water... Come quickly."
"It's burning, it's burning, put out the fire quickly."
"This fire... This fire is too weird, why did it suddenly start burning?"
When the flames shot up into the sky, Chu Wei's figure had already disappeared in place.
Tianshan City is covered with ice and snow all year round, and there are officials guarding the houses around, so this kind of fire will definitely not be invisible.
But the fire was discovered only after it was so big. It can only be said that the person who set the fire was not an ordinary person.
He rushed to the front and looked at the soaring flames, which almost covered the entire Yang residence.
Burn it down in this way, but no evidence can be kept.
Chu Wei suddenly rose from the ground, and his whole body was suspended in the air. In this dark night, Chu Wei's white figure was unexpectedly eye-catching.
"The fairy... the fairy has appeared."
"Come and meet the immortal."
"This fire is saved."
The people who came out to watch the excitement saw Chu Wei's figure and knelt down one after another.
The blue gauze covered by Chu Wei's eyes fluttered in the wind, and when he raised his hand, all the ice and snow on the roofs of the whole city gathered in his hands as if they were alive.
Then it turned ice into water at an unbelievable speed, pouring down on Yang Zhai like a torrential rain.
The overwhelming water curtain was like a flood that opened the gate, instantly submerging the Yang residence, and in an instant, the fire was completely extinguished.
This happened in the blink of an eye.
All the water splashed on Yang's house, but none of the onlookers touched it.
Guilin Guang applauded from the side: "It's amazing, it's amazing."
Chu Wei didn't have time to pay attention to him, but ran over in a hurry.
The corpses hanging on the racks in the yard were all burnt and lying on the ground in disorder.
The whole house has been destroyed and it is not looking good. There are ruins, dark walls, and the spine that has been burned, and there is darkness everywhere.
The person behind the scene was actually right under his nose, wanting to destroy the corpse.
The only thing that was intact was the coffin in front of the house.
The officials stationed around ran over, looked at Chu Wei's sinking face, and quickly explained: "The house is well guarded, but no one is seen approaching, and it burned for some reason."
"Yeah, not to mention people, even a bird couldn't fly in."
"When we discovered the fire, the house was already burning badly, as if it burst out suddenly. It's really... too weird."
Chu Wei shook his hand, but he felt an extremely uncomfortable feeling, which had a biting chill, like a ghost crawling out of a deep abyss, approaching him rapidly.
There was a clang, the sound of a sword colliding with a sharp blade.
He heard Guilin Guang ask sharply: "What is it, hide your head and show your tail, get out of here for me."
Not only him, but Guilin Guang obviously noticed it too.
The surrounding officers and soldiers suddenly panicked.
Human beings are always extremely terrified of unknown things, especially things that are invisible, intangible, and even life-threatening.
Chu Wei drew a barrier on the spot, and said: "Don't go out of this circle."
Saying that, the figure disappeared in place.
He knew what that feeling was, it was magic energy.
Surprisingly, there are demons near Tianshan City. This cold, foul-smelling, and uncomfortable aura is precisely demonic energy.
Could it be that there are demons involved in this matter?
How did the demons come to this place? Humans and demons are incompatible. Since the end of the 300-year war between humans and demons, the demon world and the human world have been cut off, and the entrance to the demon world has been sealed.
How could there be a demon here? Could it be that the seal has been broken?
Many questions lingered in Chu Wei's mind.
He has never fought a monster head-on, but he can feel that this monster must be a powerful thing, otherwise, how could it be beaten and left under the noses of him and Gui Linguang.
The two chased after the demon's breath, but after chasing to the suburbs, there was no sign of the demon at all.
Guilin Guang wondered: "What is this thing? It's invisible and invisible. It's so powerful."
Chu Wei said in a calm voice, "It's a demon."
This matter is no longer a simple massacre. If there are demons mixed in with the human race, it will trigger another war between humans and demons. At that time, it is uncertain how people will be killed and blood will flow into rivers.
Chu Weidang used the message talisman to send news to the Zongmen, hoping that someone would come to support him as soon as possible.
He even wanted to look for Rong, but now Chu Wei realized that he didn't know how to contact this man at all. The other party only had one word, and no one knew his last name. He knew nothing at all.
Chu Wei was anxious, fearing that the other party would use some trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain, so he returned to Yang's house.
The magistrate slept until midnight and was dragged up, rubbing his eyes to deal with this matter.
This is simply that misfortunes never come singly, even if you destroy the family, but now you want to set fire to destroy the corpses and traces.
Chu Wei snorted coldly: "If you want to destroy the corpse, there is only one guess, that is, he knows what I found, which is very close to the truth."
So his direction is right. Only by thoroughly understanding what happened between the Han family and Yang Bozhong, can the murderer be found out.
In order not to have any accidents, Chu Wei simply used spirit stones to spread a barrier around the entire Yang residence, and found the nearest inn to live in.
From the window, you can directly see the situation of Yang's house.
In the middle of the night, I didn't expect Xiaobai to find him.
This big lazy cat-like spirit beast circled around Chu Wei's feet a few times, and finally jumped into his arms, closing its eyes lazily.
Chu Wei pinched his ears, and sat by the window until dawn.
After dawn, the people living around looked at the fire in Yang's house and shook their heads, sighing for a while.
Chu Wei put the spirit beast on the bed and let him continue to sleep, but the little thing seemed to be full of sleep, jumped off the bed, and followed him lazily.
Chu Wei rubbed his head: "Is the injury healed?"
Xiaobai opened his mouth, licked his paw with his tongue, and showed him.
The place where the hand was originally had had pink fresh flesh, and even a pinch of fluffy hair emerged.
This kind of recovery ability is simply amazing.
Chu Wei: "Since you want to follow, then follow, but you must pay attention to safety."
Xiao Bai looked at him with some disgust, and went downstairs with his butt twisted.
Undoubtedly, following the massacre of Miemen, this fire has become a new topic of discussion among people, and everyone is discussing this fire one after another.
At this time, an old man in the crowd said slowly: "Except for the wealthy Han family 12 years ago, our Tianshan City has not seen such a big fire for a long time."
Chu Wei stopped walking slowly, walked over in two or three steps, and asked, "Old man, do you know about the fire that happened 12 years ago?"
Many people recognized Chu Wei as the immortal who cast spells to put out the fire last night, and they all stood up and were about to kneel down immediately.
But before the knees touched the ground, there was a force that supported everyone to stand up.
Chu Wei said lightly: "You don't need to kneel to me, I'm not a fairy, what do you know about the fire 12 years ago, please let me know."
As long as the people in Tianshan City are old, no one is unaware of the fire.
The old man was still a little apprehensive. When he said it, he recalled it while talking, and he said it very carefully, for fear that he might remember something wrong.
"The fire started at night back then. It is said that everyone in the Han Mansion was asleep. No one was aware of the fire. Many people were still in their dreams, so they were burned to death in a daze."
"However, there were rumors in the city at the time that their family was too rich to keep their monstrous wealth, so they were locked up by God."
"The fire burned for three full days, and the huge mansion was turned into ashes. Many people even burned their bodies, and they were all turned into ashes."
Chu Wei heard an important point, and quickly asked: "Why are there rumors that they can't keep their wealth?"
The old man patted his head: "Why?"
After coming over for a while, he patted the table: "I remembered, because the fire burned all the treasury and silver treasury of the Han family, leaving no money left."
Chu Wei's face suddenly became weird: "Gold and silver can't be burned cleanly, why no one suspects that someone deliberately set fire and took away their family's gold and silver treasures?"
Hearing this statement, the old man hesitated for a moment: "It's not that no one suspected it, but the government also investigated this matter at that time, and finally came to the conclusion that it was leaking, and there was no such thing as theft. That's it. The coffin is settled."
Chu Wei frowned: "The government checked it back then?"
The old man: "I've checked it. It's such a big fire. I must have checked it, but there is no conclusion. Back then, it was just a word of misconduct, so it was nothing."
Chu Wei stood up immediately and walked outside.
The old man followed behind and waved: "Where are you going, Immortal, I haven't finished talking yet."
Chu Wei waved his hand: "No, thank you."
He rushed to the government office in a hurry.
Because he was pulled out of bed in the middle of the night last night, and the magistrate was still sleeping, Chu Wei broke into his bedroom directly.
He was frightened to learn about the mansion, and wrapped himself in a quilt, thinking that someone would assassinate him.
Chu Wei didn't gossip with him, but asked, "Do you know who was the magistrate of Tianshan City 12 years ago?"
The magistrate was stunned for a long while, but he hadn't recovered from his sleep, so he thought for a while before he remembered.
"The magistrate 12 years ago, he has retired and returned to his hometown, and lives in the city next door to Tianshan City. I don't know the exact location."
Chu Wei: "Check, find out his address immediately, otherwise he will be killed too."
How could it be impossible to find anything about such a big accident 12 years ago? So many gold and silver treasures were said to have been burned.
The only explanation is that the magistrate and Yang Bozhong joined forces to do this.
The two must have split up the stolen money with each other. Now that Yang Bozhong is dead, the prefect may be next.
As long as you find this person before the murderer strikes, you will be able to restore all the truth back then, and you will know who the murderer is.
The magistrate got out of bed in a panic and sent someone to read the files.
Soon, the information of the retired magistrate was retrieved.
In the second year after the fire broke out in the Han family, the magistrate voluntarily resigned from office due to his poor health.
Calculated according to age, the prefect was only over [-] years old when he took office, why did he suddenly get sick, there is nothing tricky about it, it is called a ghost.
After finding the address, Chu Wei didn't hesitate at all, and rushed to the neighboring town with his sword non-stop.
As soon as he left the gate of the magistrate, he bumped into Guilin Guang who was still arranging his hair.
"Chu Daoyou, you are so mean, why didn't you call me when you went out?"
Chu Wei: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Guilin Guang followed behind him, disapproving and said: "Your words are wrong. We cultivators need to have the world in mind. How can we not participate in such things as punishing rape and eradicating evil, catching demons and subduing demons?"
Chu Wei: "It's up to you."
The two hurried all the way to the neighboring city.
After flying for more than an hour, Yujian finally arrived at the neighboring city.
Compared with Tianshan City, it is warmer here, at least there is no phenomenon that the ice and snow do not melt all year round.
After inquiring for a while, Chu Wei found the address of the magistrate who had returned to the field.
Just before going, he said to Gui Linguang, "I want to ask you one thing."
Gui Linguang smiled immediately: "Please don't please, we are so familiar, it's not just a matter of you saying a word."
As he spoke, he put his hand on Chu Wei's shoulder, his eyes fell on his face, and he tentatively squeezed his shoulder.
Chu Wei reacted quickly, and immediately moved away.
He straightened his expression and said solemnly: "Speak as you say, don't touch me, I don't like touching other people."
Gui Linguang rubbed the temperature left on his fingers, but said: "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm used to hooking up with my brothers on weekdays. It's nothing else. I hope Fellow Daoist Chu won't mind."
Chu Wei went on to say: "I hope you can help me set up a formation later."
Guilin Guang was curious: "What kind of formation are you setting up?"
Chu Wei hooked the corners of his lips. Although he couldn't see it, he still looked at Guilin Guang's direction and said, "A formation that lets the devil throw himself into a trap."
Guilin Guang didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Chu Wei's gourd, but he was willing to play with the children, but the interest in his eyes was even stronger.
It would be a pity if such an interesting child was let go just like that.
Gui Linguang followed behind him unhurriedly, and replied, "All right, all right, do whatever you tell me to do, and I will obey you."
Chu Wei quickly found the magistrate's house, but the house was closed and there was no one there.
I only found out after asking the neighbors that their family has gone out to visit relatives and will not come back until half a month later.
Chu Wei looked at the empty house and suddenly made a plan.
Since no one is there, he might as well make noises about someone.
Chu Wei left Tianshan City on his front foot, and a group of people came from Tianshan City on his back foot.
This group of people was none other than the people from the Xuanfeng Sword Sect who rushed over through the teleportation formation overnight after receiving news from Chu Wei.
If this matter has something to do with demons, it will be a major event that will shock the cultivation world, and this matter cannot be delayed.
The man walking in the front wore a mask that covered half of his face, and there was an air all over his body that made people dare not look directly at him. The group of people behind him were even more trembling, and they didn't even dare to take a breath.
It is related to the entire cultivation world, and the sect even invited all the masters and ancestors
