Plop!
The body fell straight to the ground.
The blood in his throat gurgled out.
There was a weird smile on his face.
Wan BaoQuan was stunned, his face full of disbelief.
Although he was born in Emei, he was not a magician. Instead, he traveled around the world and came into contact with many cases, but this was the first time he had been so cruel.
Zhao Dianbu He knew clearly that he was definitely not this kind of person.
It's probably because of some evil spell!
"Senior brother..."
The junior brother next to him was also a little at a loss.
Wan BaoQuan's eyes twitched, his fists clenched tightly, and he squeezed out a few words through his teeth, "Let the wind go out and let Commandery Commandant Office's people come!"
Thinking of Dan Hezi's words, he already had concerns in his mind.
Chongqing Prefecture's undercurrent, he also knows.
Now it seems that the mastermind behind this incident is mostly related to the officials sent by the imperial court. The Shu King Residence group has seized the clue and wants to attack fiercely.
The people in the arena are wise to protect themselves and do not want to get involved.
But this matter has touched his bottom line!
Soon, the news of the cell massacre spread throughout Chongqing Prefecture.
There was a lot of discussion in the streets and alleys.
Those with children at home are even more anxious.
There have been rumors about monsters coming into the city to eat children.
Outside the county jail cell, the street has long been closed.
Corpses were carried out one after another. The relatives who came after hearing the news cried and cursed, but they were all blocked by the soldiers.
Chongqing Governor watched all this with a blank expression.
He glanced at Wan BaoQuan next to him and said coldly, "Didn't I tell you that this matter must not be leaked?"
He is not a fool. He has come to his senses now that the matter has come to this.
Mostly it has something to do with my own side.
What he didn't expect was Wan BaoQuan's move.
Directly escalate the matter, leaving no room for maneuver.
Wan BaoQuan also had the same expression, and quickly bent down and handed over his hands, "Sir, this matter is too big. I am humble and incompetent, and I can't suppress it at all."
Chongqing Governor Du Ling's eyes were slightly cold, "Constable Wan, don't forget, I promoted you in the first place!"
Wan BaoQuan remained silent, but bent even lower.
Patta, patta!
At this moment, the sound of horse hooves came from the street.
It was Commandery Commandant Office Baihu Liu Gan who came with a large group of Commandery Commandant Office elite soldiers and generals, and behind him, there was also Commandery Commandant Office Qianhu.
That Qianhu was short and fat, with a male-female appearance, fair and tender, and although she had a beard, she looked more like an old woman.
Du Ling After seeing it, his pupils suddenly shrank.
This is Chongqing Garrison Seal Holder Chiliarch, Luo Hai.
In the battle between the airborne officials from the imperial court and King of Shu's lineage, Commandery Commandant Office's attitude was always very ambiguous.
On the one hand, many of them were former subordinates of King of Shu, and on the other hand, they were the emperor's personal soldiers.
Therefore, even if King of Shu is supported, no one dares to mess around.
It was Liu Gan, the ungrateful family, who rushed to the front, while the others remained silent and rarely showed up.
The appearance of Luo Hai is definitely not a good thing.
It's not that Commandery Commandant Office wants to completely turn to Shu King Residence.
They simply don't dare to do that.
With the emperor's order, the entire Sichuan and Sichuan Commandery Commandant Office will be purged.
Then there is only one reason for coming.
They were abandoned...
Thinking of this, Du Ling finally started to panic.
Sure enough, after Commandery Commandant Office Seal Holder Chiliarch Luo Hai came on horseback, he did not dismount. He just looked down on the horse and slightly cupped his hands, "I have seen Mr. Du."
"Chongqing Prefecture is a monster and has acted daringly. It is no longer the family's business. Commandery Commandant Office wants to take over the case with full authority. Please forgive me."
Chongqing Governor Du Ling glanced at everyone coldly, turned around and got into the sedan, and said in a deep voice, "Let's go back home!"
At this point, he was completely broken, and he didn't even bother to say polite words to these people anymore.
What's more important is how to save the situation.
After he left, Baihu Liu Gan snorted, then looked at Wan BaoQuan, smiled and said, "Constable Wan, this case requires your and my joint efforts."
Wan BaoQuan's face remained unchanged, and he held his hands and said, "I just want to find the murderer and cooperate with you to kill him."
Although he is just a head hunter, he represents Emei.
Liu Gan This opening is an attempt to win over.
But Wan BaoQuan's response was that apart from the murderer, they were not involved in the conflict between Shu King Residence and the court.
Liu Gan didn't say much when he saw this.
Qingcheng and Emei, as the two largest forces in Xuanmen in Sichuan, although they secretly competed with each other, it was just a matter of superiority and no conflict of life and death. Moreover, Emei had also sent people to support them in the previous battle between good and evil.
Both parties have a tacit understanding and do not participate in power struggles.
If they push too hard, it might have the opposite effect.
Wan BaoQuan This time, he betrayed Du Ling, who promoted him. He was in a bad mood. He raised his hands and said in a deep voice, "Lord Liu, you should already have clues. Where is the murderer?"
Liu Gan's expression also became solemn, "After conducting an overnight investigation, I have some clues. There are many people involved in this case."
"Chongqing Prefecture only accounts for part of those children's corpses, and some of them came from some minority villages in central Sichuan, and some were even trafficked from Shaanxi and Hubei states."
"Those beggars are only responsible for guarding. At a fixed time, that Yamen Runner will take the people away and send them to Hongya Cave Linjiang Tower."
"And these children were also sent by Wang Biao's subordinates from Gelaohui..."
When Wan BaoQuan heard this, his face immediately turned ugly.
Hongya Cave, Linjiang Pavilion, is the Sichuan Chamber of Commerce industry.
Gelaohui Wang Biao is Third Master Chen, the head of Gelaohui, and is responsible for the property management of Gelaohui.
This is not an investigation, it is clearly a counterattack by Shu King Residence forces, using the name of investigation to deal with Sichuan Chamber of Commerce and Gelaohui.
Inevitably, there will be another bloody storm.
Seeing Wan BaoQuan's expression of concern, Liu Gan smiled slightly and said, "We will handle these matters, but the manpower is insufficient after all. There is another clue that Constable Wan needs to investigate in person."
Wan BaoQuan's pupils shrank, "What clue?"
He knew that this was the key.
Liu Gan lowered his voice and said, "Years ago, Chongqing Xuanmen Treasure Hunter dug out an ancient tomb of a Tianzhu monk, which contained countless secrets. I heard that it was sold to a young man named Du..."
Wan BaoQuan After hearing this, his face immediately turned ugly.
He didn't expect that it was actually related to Du Ling.
"Well, I'll check it out!"
Wan BaoQuan turned around and left, but in the direction of City God Temple.
Looking at his leaving figure, a trace of ridicule flashed in Liu Gan's eyes, and then he turned around and came to Seal Holder Chiliarch Luo Hai's side. He bowed his hands respectfully and said, "Sir, what do you think we should do next?"
Seal Holder Chiliarch Luo Hai glanced lightly, "You are so good, do you still want me to teach you?"
Liu Gan Cold sweat broke out on his forehead, "My lord, please forgive me."
He knew that he had gone too far in some things, but Wan BaoQuan directly opened up the matter and disrupted his rhythm. He could only invite Luo Hai to suppress the battle, otherwise he would inevitably be overturned by his opponent.
Luo Hai was riding on the horse, bent down slightly, and whispered, "Do you really think His Majesty doesn't know what you are doing?"
"Shu King Residence is acting recklessly, just to protect food. We don't have those thoughts for the time being, so His Majesty just turns a blind eye."
"The ministers of the imperial court have long been bribed by Open Sea Faction and are trying to use King of Shu to further fight for power. His Majesty also knows it."
"There are also some adults who are worried that King of Shu will become too big and feed tigers, so they nod and agree to this matter. His Majesty also knows it in his heart."
"In this steelyard, if it's too much, it's a disaster, and if it's too little, it's also a disaster."
"How you weigh it is your business."
"Remember, we are His Majesty's dogs after all..."
After that, he straightened up his back and led the people to ride away.
Liu Gan in the rear felt cold all over.
He just dug a hole for Wan BaoQuan to retaliate against the other party for causing trouble for himself.
Unexpectedly, I would be in a more difficult situation in a blink of an eye.
He rushed so fast that he put himself in an awkward position. If he didn't handle it well, he would be the first to suffer misfortune!
At this moment, he seemed to see a huge black figure in the direction of the capital, watching everything Chongqing Prefecture with indifferent eyes.
Completely drive away those Du Ling people. There must be ministers in the court who want to attack Commandery Commandant Office. He will be pushed out to take the blame...
If you help Du Ling, you will also be retaliated by Shu King Residence.
"Dog, dog..."
Thinking of Luo Hai's last words when he left, Liu Gan understood instantly and couldn't help but cursed secretly in his heart.
No wonder, these old fritters are closer to Shu King Residence, but they don't show up at all and let him take the lead.
No matter what the dog thinks in his heart, the person holding the leash can only have the final say on who to bite and who to pounce on.
If it breaks loose, I'm afraid there will only be one end.
"Come here, seal this place!"
Thinking of this, a trace of madness flashed in Liu Gan's eyes.
He knew that there was only one way left for him.
Being a mad dog...
"It's a mess, it's a complete mess!"
Sha LiFei hurriedly came back, recounted the information he had learned, and cursed, "The demon was too bold. He actually confused a bookkeeper, ran into the prison to silence him, and killed many Yamen Runner."
"The people from Commandery Commandant Office took over and sent troops to the dock to arrest Hongya Cave. The head of Gelaohui, Third Master Chen, was taken directly from his home. Several shopkeepers of Sichuan Chamber of Commerce were also taken away..."
Li Yan listened thoughtfully, shook his head and said, "It seems that this matter is related to those officials of the imperial court, Shu King Residence took the opportunity to attack."
He is not a fool. After getting the information and combining what he saw, he has vaguely noticed something fishy.
"Whoever he is."
Sha LiFei shook his head and said, "We have taken it out anyway. Now the two gangs of dogs are biting each other and they don't care about looking for us."
"The murderer will be caught sooner or later. Let's just stay calm and wait for the news to pass before leaving."
Li Yan nodded and agreed.
He originally wanted to intervene and find the demon who did this, but now that the matter has come to this, the demon will definitely not be able to hide for long.
As Sha LiFei said, Chongqing Prefecture was full of chaos all day long, especially Hongya Cave and the dock.
Gelaohui people are not angry. They are wealthy and powerful and have many connections. They have found many people and tried to go to the Yamen to ask for an explanation.
But I heard that it was related to the evil spirit causing trouble, and no one dared to show up anymore.
Even Gelaohui himself began to interrogate Wang Biao's subordinates.
Although Wang Biao is Chongqing Prefecture's head Third Master Chen, he is only the outer hall. Above him there are the second sage master and the confidant uncle.
Not to mention, there are eight elders in the entire Gelaohui.
If Wang Biao is really involved in this matter, they must also give an explanation.
As for Sichuan Chamber of Commerce, it was even more chaotic.
Businessmen are seeking wealth, and now they are beginning to participate in power. Their methods are still immature, and things go well when things go smoothly for them.
It seems that the King of Shu lineage has the upper hand.
Before I knew it, it was night again.
Li Yan and others can just rest and hide as usual, light a fire to cook, or read a book. Everything is in order.
Clang clang clang!
The gongs and drums sounded again.
Those big men from the Zhou family came to see Wu Troupe again.
But the sound of their gongs and drums was obviously quieter, and their eyes were a little panicked and they seemed absent-minded.
On the contrary, the actors in Wu Troupe had a clear conscience.
Wang Dao Xuan's trick is really effective.
After they sang last night, no one got sick when they came back, but they pretended to be in trouble and asked some people to disguise themselves as corpses and escape Chongqing Prefecture.
Now Chongqing Prefecture is in chaos, and no one is paying attention at all.
They pretended to be panicked and followed the big men away.
As long as we sing the last scene, this matter will be completely resolved.
When they came to the Zhou family and the Wu family class, they also discovered something unusual.
Something is obviously wrong with the Zhou family today.
There were far fewer people in the courtyard, and even the filial sons in the mourning hall were absent-minded, pale and whispering to each other.
"Breaking the Stage", hanging upside down Bagua Mirror, singing opera...
Everything went smoother than last night.
There were even only a few big men watching over them, and no one bothered them.
After singing the opera, everyone at Wu Troupe pretended to be distracted, turned pale, and left in a hurry.
This time, no one was following them.
Back at the entrance of the street, all the people watching were evacuated.
"Okay, let's leave as soon as possible!"
The old musician breathed a sigh of relief and led the rest of the group towards Li Yan's yard. They all knelt down and kowtowed three times, then quickly left and disappeared into the dark streets.
On the roof, Li Yan showed his figure, shook his head slightly, jumped down into the yard, smiled at Wang Dao Xuan, "It seems everything went well."
"Daoist Master, what will happen next?"
Wang Dao Xuan was silent for a moment and said, "This method is to confuse the gods. Raft Sect only knows that the spell was successful. The Zhou family also thought that they had successfully avoided the disaster, but the spell is stagnating."
"When it comes to normal, when the yin and yang alternate between day and night, everything will break out. Sow the cause and reap the fruit, and you will not be able to blame others."
Li Yan nodded and ignored it.
The wealthy Zhou family is caught in a power struggle, but they don't want to take responsibility for the consequences, and look for innocent people to block the disaster, which is all their own fault.
Even if they don't take action.
The mysterious veteran of the hidden troupe will also not sit idly by.
On the other side, after the troupe left, the servants of the Zhou family were busy again, lighting the lanterns one by one.
In the main hall, Han Kun and others are also there, but a few people are missing.
"Okay!"
The Loose Hair Sect warlock said proudly, "According to poor Daoist methods, this matter has been successfully avoided. Raft Sect's Dragon King is nothing more than that."
"Thank you sir."
Han Kun slightly raised his hands, but there was no trace of happiness on his face.
He looked around, gritted his teeth and said, "What on earth is going on? When did the Du family master cultivate Demon Arts?"
Chen Family and Son also had a wry smile on his face.
"I just came here and I don't know anything about it."
"According to my servants, the shopkeepers who were arrested didn't know the reason. They thought Mr. Du had a special hobby..."
Before he finished speaking, an angry voice came from the roof.
"If you have special hobbies, you can disregard human life?!"
Whoosh!
Wan BaoQuan jumped down with several fellow apprentices.
Clang Clang Clang!
Many people in the room had their weapons drawn.
"Don't even make a move!"
Han Kun was anxious and quickly stopped everyone.
They are just here to grab territory. If they really take action against the Yamen, then this matter will be slapped on the head and cannot be explained clearly.
"This is Constable Wan..."
Han Kun bowed his hands respectfully, then smiled bitterly and said, "I'm not afraid of your laughter if I tell you. I don't know anything about this."
"If I had known that the Du family was so crazy, how could I have dared to..."
Before he finished speaking, he realized something was wrong. He felt a sudden wind blowing around him, his head became dizzy, and he fell straight to the ground.
Others in the room also fell to the ground with a thud.
Seeing the collapse in the house, Wan BaoQuan felt his eyelids twitch wildly.
"Laozi, here we go again..."
