Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Sanhuang County

Chapter 358: Chapter 358 Sanhuang County[Two: I'm investigating the bloody massacre of three thousand miles. I think it's impossible to hide such a big thing. But, Xu Qi'an, I tell you, this case is very strange.

[I flew for three days and three nights at the border of Chuzhou, and I haven't found the location of the bloody massacre of three thousand miles for the time being. But I found one thing very strange. Well, I met a small group of barbarian cavalry at the border, killed them, summoned their souls to ask, and found that they didn't know anything about the "bloody massacre of three thousand miles". ]

Li Miaozhen rode the flying sword directly to the north, much faster than Xu Qi'an. If you have to compare it, one took a plane, and the other took a cruise ship + carriage + walking.

Xu Qi'an typed a message: [I already know about this matter. This case is not as simple as it seems. ]

In addition, the bloody massacre of three thousand miles is an allusion, not a real massacre of three thousand miles. Sister, you should read more books... He complained in his heart.

Li Miaozhen replied in great shock: [Ah? You know everything, you are worthy of it.]

It's not as magical as you think. I'm just like you, killing people to summon souls, but you killed the barbarian cavalry, and I killed the barbarian leader...Xu Qian'an continued to ask: [Are there any other discoveries?]

Li Miaozhen replied by letter: [Yes, I found that the items in Chuzhou are very cheap. Whether it's staying in an inn, eating, or buying other things, five taels of silver can last for a long time. In Dafeng Capital, five taels of silver are gone in a flash. ]

What are you talking about...Xu Qian'an was confused and took a few seconds to react. Li Miaozhen's words were simplified to: four steamed buns here cost one yuan.

So what do you mean by this? Are you expressing your feelings about the cheap prices in Chuzhou? Or are you venting your shopping desire as a woman?

Xu Qian'an frowned and sent a letter: [Miaozhen, I don't quite understand what you mean. ]

Li Miaozhen replied: [Generally speaking, if a region is in war, the price of local food and other things will soar. But I checked the grain prices in several counties in Chuzhou. Although there are fluctuations, the difference is not big.]

Xu Qian'an understood. What she meant was that the prices in Chuzhou were relatively stable. This shows that although the barbarians invaded the border and burned, killed and looted, it was only a relatively small area compared to the 8,000-mile area of Chuzhou.

[Three: The city was not occupied?]

[Two: I didn't see it. Moreover, if the border city was occupied, the barbarians would not only loot the border but dare not go deep into the hinterland of Chuzhou. ]

"Without attacking the city, only looting the people on the border and never going deep into the enemy's hinterland, well, this is because of fear of being surrounded. I roughly understand why in ancient times, fighting a war must be fought to the death. If the city is not taken, it will never bypass it, because it is equivalent to handing the back to the enemy."

When Xu Qian'an was a child, he always felt that the ancients were stupid. Why did they have to fight to the death against a city? Just bypass it and attack the next city, or even fight to the capital.

The world of children is always so simple... He sighed in his heart, and saw Li Miaozhen sending a letter:

[Xu Qiyan, I now have some doubts whether the bloody massacre of three thousand miles really happened. I don't know how to investigate it. ]

Even through the ground book, Li Miaozhen's helplessness and irritability can be felt.

This time she chatted privately with Xu Qiyan just to ask him how to continue investigating the case.

It is not impossible for Li Miaozhen to doubt. The case of the bloody massacre of three thousand miles was caused by a residual soul, a residual soul with unknown identity and origin.

Uh, thinking about it this way, is the decision of Duke Wei, the officials of the court, and Emperor Yuan Jing a little too rash?

Although this case must be investigated, it is a bit exaggerated to send a delegation directly. The normal operation should be to send a small number of people to investigate the situation, or even send spies to visit secretly...

However, the bloody massacre of three thousand miles does not exist, so how to explain the residual soul?

Li Miaozhen encountered this corpse by chance on the roadside. If she had not happened to be a Taoist disciple who knew how to summon souls, the soul of the deceased would have disappeared in a few days.

So it is unlikely that it was arranged by humans.

The deceased was from the north. Because of the bloody massacre of three thousand miles, he rushed to the capital to file a complaint, but was intercepted and killed eighty miles away from the capital.

In fact, I don't have any particularly good ideas... Will this answer reduce my tall and majestic image in Li Miaozhen's heart?

After pondering for a long time, Xu Qian'an had an idea and sent a letter: [Miaozhen, the corpse you picked up on the roadside is a person from the underworld, right?]

[Two: Yes, this is what you analyzed. ]

[Three: Have you ever thought about who would be the first to impeach the King of Zhenbei if such a big thing really happened in the northern border?]

[Two: Naturally, it is the officials in the northern border, yes, the officials in the area where

the bloody massacre of three thousand miles occurred.]

[Three: Great, then why did you find the body of a jianghu person?]

[Two: Great?]

[Three: This is not the point, the point is, why is it a jianghu person's body?]

Li Miaozhen is experienced in this area, and replied in a letter: [There are many butchers among the righteous, and it is normal for a jianghu person to see the tragic situation and be angry, and go to the capital to file a complaint. ]

Xu Qian'an chuckled and sent a letter: [If this is the case, he would not be killed at all. Everyone will pay attention to a jianghu person, and accordingly, even if he goes to the capital, he can't file a complaint without evidence. ]

[I won't tell you the dark side of filing a complaint, just talking about the facts, how can a jianghu person sue a prince without evidence? Believe me, the court will not pay attention. ]

At this point, Xu Qian'an's mind was once again filled with doubts. Therefore, whether it was Emperor Yuan Jing, Duke Wei, or the officials in the court, they all seemed a bit careless in sending the delegation north...

Li Miaozhen was still very smart. After he pointed it out, she immediately understood and sent a letter saying: [You mean, the local officials actually wrote a letter of impeachment, but encountered an accident, so they sent that hero to the capital to complain. He may have carried some kind of token, so he was ambushed. ]

After analyzing this, Li Miaozhen suddenly felt enlightened and his thoughts were smooth.

In fact, I also have some ideas, but they are not smooth enough. After he pointed it out, I figured it out... Li Miaozhen said sincerely, and then subconsciously sent a letter saying:

[Then how should I check? ]

After sending the message, she regretted it and thought: Li Miaozhen, Li Miaozhen, you are too indecisive. It seems that you are an incompetent woman who needs to rely on him!

She stared at the mirror while reflecting angrily.

[Three: Simple, you hide your identity as the Saint of Tianzong and walk around Chuzhou as the Flying Swallow Heroine. It's better to do more chivalrous things. ]

Li Miaozhen's heart moved, [You mean...]

Xu Qian'an sent a letter: [We have always ignored the person behind the "dead man on the roadside". The person behind must have encountered trouble, so he asked the people in the world to send the message. If he is still alive, he must be hiding somewhere, waiting for the

news.

[He may not go to the delegation. Haha, as soon as the delegation enters the northern border, it will probably be monitored at all levels. Even the Huaiwang family is using the delegation to fish. Compared with the delegation, I think he is more likely to find some famous heroes in the world. This can be verified from the lost hero.

[Of course, the premise of all this is that the person who wants to sue the emperor is still alive.

]

Yes, why didn't I think it could be like this... You are worthy of it! Li Miaozhen's eyes sparkled, and she sent a message: [I understand. I will contact you when I have a clue.] Sёarᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Xu Qi'an immediately sent a message: [Okay, I have another question. Before a person dies, he has a mental breakdown and loses his mind. After calling the soul, he cannot communicate. Can he recover? How long will it take?]

There was silence for a few seconds, and Li Miaozhen replied: [Is the soul intact?]

Xu Qi'an said: [The three souls are intact.]

Why did he take the body away that day? It was to let the soul of the white-robed sorcerer

reunite after seven days. After seven days, the human soul will overflow from the body and merge with the two souls of heaven and man that are scattered outside.

At this time, the soul will get rid of the ignorant state and be the same as before death.

The dead man that Li Miaozhen found on the roadside must have suffered a severe blow to his soul before death, so it was incomplete. And because the murderer was a warrior and was not

good at destroying souls, he left a residual soul.

[Second: It's easy to deal with. It will take two or three days. ]

[Three: This matter is not urgent, let's talk about it after we meet up. ]

After finishing the book delivery, Xu Qi'an finished drinking the porridge that was still warm,

hid the fragments of the book, and walked out of the cliff cave.

"I'm done."

The princess who secretly threw away the roasted chicken said loudly.

Xu Qi'an said "hmm", pretending not to notice her little action, and walked side by side with

her on the mountain path.

The trees are green, the birds are singing, and the flowers are fragrant. Except for the occasional "saw" sound from the grass on both sides, which scared the princess, she still likes

this close to nature environment.

Who is the princess? She actually has a spiritual essence in her body... Dafeng's version of

Tang Monk meat? Ha, in this case, I am Sun Wukong.

Master, take a stick from me!

Hahaha... Xu Qi'an couldn't help but curl his lips.

As they gradually approached Sanhuang County, there were more and more villages around.

Xu Qian'an and the princess had lunch at a farmer's house, with a bowl of porridge and a pile

of pickles for each person.

There were five people in this farmer's house, two elderly people, a couple, and a child.

They lived in a mud house, wearing patched and shabby clothes. The elderly were skinny and

the child had a sallow face.

They sat in the yard to eat lunch, and heard the voice of a child in the hall: "Mom, I'm so

hungry."

"Didn't I eat already?" the woman whispered.

"I used to have a bowl, why is there only half a bowl today?" the child said aggrievedly.

"There are guests today, you won't starve to death if you eat less." The man in charge

scolded.

The child was afraid of his father and lowered his head and dared not speak.

"People in the north are quite hospitable..."

The princess muttered in a low voice: "Look at their family, they are penniless. I guess they

eat porridge every meal and can't afford white rice."

After staying in the capital for a long time, I almost forgot what the people's livelihood is

like...... Xu Qian'an sighed in his heart, but said:

"Isn't this a very normal thing? Do you expect them to have fish and meat every meal? It's

good enough to have enough food."

The princess pursed her lips and whispered: "Do you have any silver on you?"

Of course I have, all my belongings are in the fragments of the earth book... Xu Qian'an

understood what she meant and said: "Do you want to ask me to borrow silver?"

She nodded.

"How much?" Xu Qi'an asked.

The princess pondered and said, "One hundred taels, but we can't give too much, or we will

reveal our identities."

.... Xu Qi'an looked at her stiffly, and said word by word, "How much?"

"Give, give too much? Then, that fifty taels." She blinked her beautiful big eyes. Spendthrift woman... Xu Qi'an slapped her in his heart and said in a deep voice, "One penny of

silver, no more."

Shouldn't you repay the kindness of others with gratitude? The princess looked at him in surprise, frowned and said, "I will pay you back, don't be so stingy."

Xu Qi'an sighed, "For us, one penny of silver is already a lot, and more is unreasonable. As

long as the people of the King of Zhenbei or the spies in the north come here and ask casually, we will be exposed."

And one penny of silver, no more and no less, is enough for this poor family to eat meat for a

few days.

The princess nodded and accepted Xu Qian'an's statement. She was very convinced by Xu Ningyan's meticulousness.

Then, she had a happy expression on her face: "When we get to Sanhuang County, I want to take a bath. I can't stand the sour smell on my body."

Xu Qian'an ignored her and sat on a small bench in the yard, looking at the blue sky, and said

faintly: "I want to drink yogurt after dinner."

He slurped up the porridge, called the man in charge, and said: "Thank you, I brought... to the

city to visit relatives, and I didn't bring anything with me..."

Xu Qian'an took out a piece of silver and handed it to the man: "A small gift."

"This, this..." The man was stunned. He had seen copper coins, but rarely silver. The two pushed and shoved each other. The princess stood aside and watched Xu Qian'an talk

to the man seriously. She felt inexplicably happy in her heart and raised the corners of her

mouth.

A humane man, though a little lustful, is better than those scheming, cruel and murderous bigwigs.

After the two left, the man returned to the hall with the silver in his hands, excited, and showed it to his family like a treasure.

"He, they left the silver." The man said loudly.

The old man stretched out his trembling hand and touched the child's head, "Tell Dad to buy

you meat tomorrow."

The face of the member of this poor family showed sincere and grateful joy.

"Why didn't you introduce my identity just now."

Walking on the official road, the princess said angrily.

"What?" Xu Qian'an didn't react.

The princess chased after him, glaring at him, "You said you were going to the city to visit

relatives, but you skipped me, hum!"

Xu Qi'an remembered that it was true, and asked back, "Then how do you think I should

introduce you? Say wife, you don't look good enough for my handsome face now. Say sister,

it's too far-fetched, you can tell at a glance that you are not my biological daughter. Say maid, we are so poor, it's not suitable." "Then say I am your aunt." The princess pinched her waist.

"Get lost! Why don't you say you are your great-grandmother." Xu Qi'an said unhappily.

Before dusk, they arrived in Sanhuang County, but did not enter the city immediately.

Instead, they drank a cup of herbal tea in the shed outside the city. Arriving in Sanhuang County was considered to be truly arriving in the northern border.

When arriving in Sanhuang County, Xu Qi'an could meet the night watchman's secret agent and get information.

Sanhuang County is not large, with a population of less than 100,000. When entering the city, the two were questioned and asked to show their official pass.

The princess suddenly became nervous and half-cowarded. She knew that she didn't have a

pass and couldn't stand the investigation.

What should I do? Now I can't enter the city... Her heart suddenly tightened. This meant that

she had to continue the long journey, and it also meant that Xu Qi'an couldn't investigate the

case.

For a moment, she felt that the future was bleak.

"Yes, yes."

Xu Qi'an took out the official certificate with a smile on his face and handed it over

respectfully.

The soldier guarding the city glanced at it, returned it to Xu Qi'an, and said, "Go in."

The princess lowered her head and followed Xu Qi'an in small steps until the city gate

gradually went away. She breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Where did you get the pass?"

"I went out to rob while you were sleeping, and became a bandit." Xu Qi'an said lightly.

You are really amazing... The princess's eyebrows curved, and then she heard Xu Qi'an

sighing, saying, "The situation is not optimistic. Your husband's people know that I went north alone."

Question marks flashed through the princess's mind. It must be a lie. They went north all the way, secretly, without exposing themselves at all. How did the people of the King of Huai

know that Xu Ningyan went north?

And how did Xu Qi'an know.

As smart as she is, she can't see any clues.

"But fortunately, they don't know you are with me." Xu Qi'an said again.

".... What do you mean?" The princess pursed her lips, tilted her head, stared with her

beautiful eyes, and humbly asked for advice.

She has always liked to listen to Xu Qi'an's stories of solving cases, and she enjoys talking

about them. She applauds when she hears the exciting parts. Of course, the princess has never told Xu Qi'an about these hobbies.
