After the fairy disappeared

Chapter 456
He explained that with the marketing of medicinal materials across the country, the water consumption of Zhitian Township is increasing, and he hopes that the upstream can increase the amount of water.But the boar demons refused, because building a dam would destroy their territory.

"Isn't this something that can be coordinated and compensated?" He Lingchuan has also done coordination work in Dunyu.

A villager couldn't help but sneered: "Although they are pigs, they like lions to open their mouths."

It seems that the hogs want to add more money, so they didn't reach an agreement.

He Lingchuan took a sip of the fine wine: "So, who is most beneficial to serve the whole litter of piglets?"

As soon as everyone heard something wrong, they all clarified: "My lord, it has nothing to do with us!"

"We collect some medicinal materials here and sell them out. All we earn are errand money. How can it harm people's thoughts and abilities!"

He Lingchuan smiled: "Generally speaking, whoever benefits the most will be suspected."

Some big households said indignantly: "My lord, you can't say that. We work hard, and Zhitian Township can prosper. How could it be the biggest suspect? If it weren't for us, those medicine farmers and tenants, those..."

He originally wanted to say "monster", but he was pushed in the ribs by his companion, and immediately changed his words: "... How can they have a good life today?"

"Yes, yes, the abundance of Zhitian Township is far better than that of other places. We have tried our best."

Baishi county magistrate hurriedly said: "My lord, didn't you say that this might be caused by monsters? And the victims are all over the place, so what does it have to do with these sages?"

He Lingchuan glanced across everyone's faces, "Which one of you has dealt with the boar demon head-on?"

The crowd fell silent.

Jiao Yu looked at Baishi County Magistrate: "You should know, right?"

The county magistrate Baishi had no choice but to bite the bullet and point it out to He Lingchuan.

The three big households here have all dealt with the boar demon, and even had feuds, and their surnames are Wang, Li and Tu.

The three defended themselves one after another, saying that they had no intention of harming anyone.

General Ling scratched his hooves impatiently.

He Lingchuan looked at them for a long time, and saw that the three of them felt numb in their hearts, and then sighed: "That's what I asked routinely, everyone, don't take it to heart."

Li Dahu asked cautiously: "If the murderer is really caught, what charges will he be charged with?"

"Murdering a spirit messenger is at least a crime of beheading."

General Ling added from the side: "Punish the three clans."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he was full of murderous intent, everyone choked and didn't know how to answer.

The meal was over quickly.

Back at the inn, He Lingchuan washed his hands and face.

In midsummer and July, the night is not necessarily cool, and even the cicadas keep calling until now.

General Ling brought his own guards and opened a room next door.

There was a large water tank in the yard, filled with clear water, and the tiger simply jumped into the water to cool off, while asking He Lingchuan: "Do you really think that the case is related to these big households?"

Baishi county magistrate is right. The murderer commits crimes all over the country, so what does he have to do with the local big family?

These big households are all ordinary human beings, not even a practitioner.

"We got the information of Fu Shanji. Basically, there are only two or three victims in each case, one or two people, or one or two monsters. Even those few sheep thieves who came to steal my blue sheep are only determined to be so A goal." He Lingchuan said, "This is a smart approach, and it is not easy to attract attention."

"However, the case of the wind-drilling beast broke the rules, and there were more than 20 victims at once."

"If tomorrow we can confirm that our murderers killed the millipedes, then a year ago it had a bigger appetite and directly killed more than 100 victims."

He Lingchuan said slowly: "These two anomalies are only thirty or forty miles apart. Maybe it's just an accident, but if I'm not wrong, what is the reason for the murderer's killing spree?"

Jiao Yu didn't know how to answer.

Kill one or two people, two or three monsters, and it may be presumed to be for food.

Hundreds at a time?

This purpose does not seem simple.

"It's not simple at all." He Lingchuan said seriously, "Don't forget, all the messengers sent by Lingxu City died in their hands. Usually no one dares to attack the messengers, right?"

Jiao Yu was moved: "According to what you said, there are foreign spies hiding in Zhitian Township?"

"Then we have to find the murderer to judge." He Lingchuan suddenly said something irrelevant, "I thought that Bega was really an utopia for monsters. Now it seems that may not be the case."

Jiao Yu didn't answer.

It wasn't raining tonight, and He Lingchuan didn't feel sleepy, so he pulled out his Dragon Spear and practiced marksmanship for half an hour.

After he learned the marksmanship from the Panlong Dreamland, he practiced it more and more, and the time exceeded that of the saber technique.

This marksmanship only has sixteen formulas, which is more concise than the saber technique.

Spear is the king of all soldiers, and it is much more difficult to practice than swordsmanship.Fortunately, martial arts are all about one way and one hundred ways. His own realm has been raised, and his practice with spears is not much worse.

What's more, he has seen Red General, Xiao Maoliang and Hong Chenglue's moves, all of them can be regarded as a thunderous blow, he often ponders in his heart, and he also got something.

Half an hour passed in a blink of an eye, he practiced smoothly, he didn't feel tired, and he was slightly drunk, he couldn't help but let out a long roar, the tip of the gun swung slightly, and hit the tree trunk sideways.

This crape myrtle tree suddenly fell into profusion.

He Lingchuan expanded his divine sense, and the spear shot out like a needle, piercing the flower petals on the tip of the spear.

This gun weighed 39 jins and was seven feet long. He was holding the gun with one hand, and the tip of the gun trembled wildly when the tail of the gun moved slightly, making it very difficult to grasp.It is really difficult to pierce the thin and weak petals.

The crow on the tree saw the shadows of the guns and was full of murderous intent. It was so frightened that its feathers exploded, and it quickly flapped its wings and flew outside.

It's so late at night, do you want the birds to rest?
What He Lingchuan wants to practice is killing skills, but the scene is very soft.

After the flower rain fell, there were only a few petals on the ground.

The rest are hung on the tip of the gun.

Jiao Yu was dozing off on the steps, but at this moment he was awakened by the murderous aura.

Seeing him closing his gun like a tiger in the end, there was a cheer from the side: "Good!"

It turned out that General Ling was lying on the courtyard wall to watch the excitement at some point.It stood half upright and was more than one foot tall, with the top of its skull higher than the top of the wall.

It is also battle-tested. Although this young man's marksmanship cannot be compared with the old monarch of Chiyan, he is like a mad snake spitting out letters, and he is like a cunning rabbit returning home.Such bravery and knowing how to accumulate strength is already stronger than ordinary generals.

This kid really has some skills.

He Lingchuan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped off the sweat on his forehead.

This style of "plum blossom piercing" is finally a small success.

At this moment, there were two peeling and pecking sounds from the courtyard gate.

He Lingchuan had already heard footsteps coming and going outside.He opened the door and saw that there was only a letter left on the ground.

This is a letter of denunciation, denouncing Tu Dahu's feud with the boar demon.

It turned out that the two sides had already reached the point where the water and fire could not be tolerated. Tu Dahu's grandson was even shot in the calf by a pig thorn, which festered to the bone, and was almost amputated. It took more than three months of treatment before he gradually recovered.

Half an hour later, there was another commotion outside the house.

Someone approached on tiptoe, but how could the sound of his footsteps be hidden from He Lingchuan?
The man leaned over and was about to shove the note under the crack of the door when the courtyard door creaked open, and He Lingchuan stood at the door and smiled at him:
"It's all here, why not talk about it face to face. Who is your master and who do you want to report?"

"Ah..." The man was arrested and his face turned green.

He Lingchuan grabbed the note in his hand, read it on the spot, and said, "Oh, I wanted to report the Li family. Is your master's surname Wang or Tu?"

The man dared not say anything, and there was no signature on the note.

"I hope your master's surname is not Tu." He Lingchuan took out a letter and waved it in front of him, "Someone has already come to report him."

"what?"

……

Fifteen miles away, in Shuanglu Town, Zhitian Township, in a big house.

A night owl landed on the big tree next to the main house in a flutter, whining a few times.

The window opened and Ren Yexiao flew in.

The people in the house closed the windows again, and there was only one person and one bird left in the house.

He casually set up an enchantment to prevent people from eavesdropping, and then said to Ye Xiao: "What's the news from the capital?"

"The case of the disappearance of the courier in Lingxu City was transferred by the monarch to Fu Shanyue."

The man yelled: "Fu Shanji can't even find out, Fu Shanyue is such a reckless man..."

He stood up, took two steps and said: "However, Fu Shanyue should spend a lot of effort to please Bo Guojun at this time. Well, he still has a few capable people under his command. Who will he send to investigate this matter?"

"still not clear."

The man paused: "I don't know?"

"All the officials under him have other errands." Ye Xiao said, "Only Baishan Zhonglang, Jiao Yu, left the capital a few days ago, and his whereabouts are unknown."

"Jiao Da's son?" the man wondered, "Fu Shanyue will send him alone to handle this matter?"

Ye Xiao couldn't answer this question.

Here it eats meat and drinks water, then closes one eye and goes to sleep.

In the middle of the night, another man in charge came to the door.

"My master asked me to come and report overnight." The steward came in through the back door, "The crown prince sent a special envoy to Youtian Town to investigate the messenger case in Lingxu City."

"Oh?" The man asked anxiously, "Who did you send?"

"The special envoy's name is He Xiao, holding the prince's letter, and another tiger named Jiao Yu, who seems to be Baili or something..."

"General of the Hundred Mountains?"

"That's right!" The steward nodded repeatedly, "There is also a goshawk, I heard it is also a palace guard."

"He Xiao?" The man thought for a long time, "I've never heard of it."

"The county invites him to dinner, and he is happy. He suspects that the village sages killed the litter of pigs in Moon Mountain."

The man immediately sat up straight: "Is there evidence?"

"No, he hasn't even seen it, he just talked about it."

"It may not be just talking nonsense, maybe it is trying to deceive you." The man asked, "What else?"

"He's going to see the pig's nest tomorrow."

"Where is the item used by the surname He?"

The steward took out a cloth bag from his pocket and opened it, inside was a wine glass.

"They eat in Xihong Tower, and He Xiao uses this wine glass."

"Okay, go back and tell your master, put your heart in your stomach." The man took the wine glass, "I can't find him!"

"Yes."

After the steward left, the man sat in the room thinking for a while, then suddenly got up and walked to the yard.

The shadow of the tree, there is a corner in the yard that the moonlight can't penetrate.

The man seemed to crush something, took another ladle of water, and poured it into this corner.

Soon, in the shadows in the corner, something moved.

"Assign a new target: He Xiao." The man lowered his voice and put the cup on the ground. "He is in Youtian Town now, and he will go to the Haozhu Nest in Moon Mountain tomorrow. You know what to do."
