Chapter 137
"Again, this is the tenth time this year! Is this how you do things for me?" The owner of the voice was very upset, and he was very dissatisfied with everything that happened.

He is the supreme governor of Farah Province in the northern part of the Star Luo Empire, and the hereditary Marquis of the Star Luo Empire.

Although the province of Farah is not big, it borders on the provinces of the Principality of Tiandou, and there are the most smugglers and slave traders in the territory.

After the first case of the previous nine people, some businessmen asked him to catch the murderer as soon as possible, but several months passed, and the case was still happening, but there was still no clue.

Although the tenth case happened in a no-nonsense area, it was still the closest to his place.Those businessmen are becoming more and more fearful recently, especially after yesterday's incident.

That person had a soul sage guard, but the ending still didn't change, even the soul sage was killed in battle.Today's slave traders are either huddled in the city, or left the province of Farah.

The poll tax generated by the slave trade and auction is an important source of finance for the province of Farah. For this chief, slaves are a very normal existence in his worldview.

The criminals in those serial cases are defying the rules and destroying the economy of his regime.

"My lord... there is no way, there is nothing left at the scene except for the huge footprints and feathers. The merchants who were killed did not find any special connection."

The person in charge of investigating this matter was also very troubled. Every time the businessmen were targeted, they died tragically. It stands to reason that this should be a vendetta, but the other party did not attack their family members.

If it was just for money, there was absolutely no need to kill those people, especially after this time, the possibility of Tucai was completely rejected.

A person who can kill a soul saint will be reused no matter where he is, and there will be no shortage of rights and wealth.

For months he could not even be sure of the other party's motives.

"Forget it, you don't need to be responsible for this matter in the future. The empire has sent other people to take over this matter. Go and explain it to the people over there."

Even the soul saint was killed, this is no longer something he can handle as a governor of the province, and he didn't blame his subordinates too much, after all, they did things very well before, so they can't kill others because of this incident all achievements.

The investigation team sent by Emperor Xingluo consisted of six people, one soul sage and five soul emperors. The six had worked together for many years, relying on the combination of their own martial souls and Xingluo's unique military formation.

With the combined efforts of the six of them, they can fight against Soul Douluo, and they are also Xingluo's personnel who specialize in handling soul master cases.

"Here's all the information about these cases."

"Is it all here?"

"Yes, Mr. Daly."

"Where's the information about those slaves?"

"Slave?" He didn't seem to understand, what's the significance of those slave materials, since a soul master was killed, he hadn't doubted this aspect.

People who will become slaves will never be powerful soul masters, and most of those slaves are useless or ordinary poor people who cannot cultivate.

Even if there are soul masters who are tended by others because of their reasons or other reasons, they will not be regarded as slaves, at least they cannot be auctioned off.

"Have you never doubted that?"

"But it's impossible, how could those sold slaves have the strength to kill those soul masters?"

The previous footprints of the giant wolf were speculated to be some kind of soul skill, but after the soul sage was killed, a new speculation also appeared, that is the remnant of the real body of the beast soul.

If the murderer really used to be a slave, how could he have such a talent.

"When you eliminate all the impossible, the remaining possibility, no matter how incredible it may be, may be the only truth."

Daly had already seen his previous ideas, and he didn't have much ideas. The only thing these people had in common was that they were all slave traders, so he planned to start from this aspect.

"..The Marquis Mansion doesn't have those materials, but the Slave Trading Management Office should have records, so I'll get them right away."

"No need, give me the seal of the Hou Mansion, and I will go there to investigate in person."

Slave trading will bring a lot of taxation. In this era, not only is this kind of trading not prohibited, but there are also special agencies in various places to investigate and record the orientation of slaves to facilitate tax collection.

Moreover, a slave means slave registration. With these materials, even if a slave escapes, there is no way to register a household registration.Every transaction will be recorded, and sellers and buyers will know it at a glance.

In the data storage place of the province of Farah, thick materials are piled up on the desktop to form a hill.

"Master Daly, these are all the slaves they have handled in the past ten years, but do we really want to investigate so far?"

"Of course, hatred is the greatest motivation for people. If there is a chance for revenge, let alone ten years, this kind of hatred will not be forgotten even in 20 years. Let's search together, starting with the escaped slaves."

Time went from early morning to dusk, and the light in the room had become dim, but Daly and others found nothing.

"My lord, there hasn't been a large-scale escape of slaves in the past ten years. Maybe we are wrong. The slaves they traded are well documented, and there should be no chance to do such a thing."

"Have you checked everything? What are those over there?"

"Those are all slaves who have been reported as dead, do you want to check?"

"Check! Since you can't find anything in the living, then check the dead."

"I found my lord!" The environment was a little darker, but through hard work, they still found what they needed
After rummaging through records over the past few years, they finally found some connections among these slave traders.

A form of characters was taken out, and that image was exactly the moment's image.

"It's this lycanthropist. A few years ago, this lycanthropist was resold by these eleven merchants, but the record now is that she has been bought by Wanjia. The latest registration of Wanjia was five years ago. He was buried in the tomb before. Are we going to investigate the Wan family?"

"Are you an idiot! How do you search for this kind of thing? Do you want to dig other people's graves? Even if you find Wanjia, you can find any reason to open it up. Are you going to fight Wanjia forever?"

"Then us?"

"Didn't you just say that there are eleven families? If ten of them die and one remains, then start here." In just a few months, ten slave traders, large and small, died in succession.If his guess is correct, the other party will definitely not let this last family go, so he made this decision to sit on the sidelines.

After making this decision, the six-member team crossed the border to Tiandou's territory, and Yingnv and Setsuna were also heading towards Tiandou's direction, but apart from these two forces, there was another person who went to that territory. city.
