Volume Four, Three Southern Counties, Chapter 394, You Are Good
Liu Wudao led Lu Jiuzhang toward the office of Chief Registrar Wang Dehu.
Before he even got close, Heizi became agitated and said, "Master Jiu, there is a smell of blood in the room!"
"not good!"
Liu Wudao rushed in quickly and saw the chief clerk, Wang Dehu, lying in a pool of blood.
"It looks like it's suicide, but we still need to investigate." Liu Wudao turned over Wang Dehu, the chief clerk, and said slowly, "Next, I will send someone to investigate Wang Dehu's network to see if he can find out.
Come up with something."
"He was probably the one who set the fire just now, and now he is committing suicide out of fear of guilt."
"No need!" Lu Jiuzhang said, "Most of these people are dead soldiers. They are just assigned to this position and will only be effective at important moments."
"Even if you investigate this kind of person, you won't be able to find anything at all."
Lu Jiuzhang gave up this line for the time being.
Fortunately, Master Xu also gave Lu Jiuzhang another clue.
Otherwise, this matter will be even more difficult to investigate.
Glancing at Liu Wudao in front of him, Lu Jiuzhang said to himself, "Don't worry, I have another clue. There is a tavern in the west of the city called Gujiao."
"There is an old Yangtou in the tavern who knows what happened back then."
"Master Xu told me about this."
After saying these words, Lu Jiuzhang turned to look at Heizi again, "Let's go here now."
The two of them walked towards the gate of Dali Temple.
After they were outside the scope of Dali Temple, Heizi asked, "Master Jiu, why did you tell him this news? Could it be that you wanted to deceive Liu Wudao?"
"That's right!" Lu Jiuzhang nodded, "Not long after we came in, the warehouse where the files were stored caught fire. If you say it has nothing to do with Liu Wudao, I won't believe it."
"Let's use our magical powers now and head to the [Ancient Cellar]. If we're lucky, we might be able to meet someone from the other side."
Lu Jiuzhang smiled and said, "Then, I can use the power of the secret guards to see how many people in the inner city of Jingzhao Mansion have used their magical powers today."
"Then we'll investigate further!"
This was what Lu Jiuzhang had in mind.
"But if we use magical powers in Jingzhao Mansion, it is against the rules of the Zhou Dynasty?" Heizi asked.
"I'm afraid, have you forgotten that Xintei is my senior sister? She shouldn't make things difficult for me on this matter."
Lu Jiuzhang used his magical power [So Close to the End of the World] to teleport.
After about tea time, he finally appeared in front of a tavern named [Gujiao].
"Shopkeeper, is there a man named Lao Yangtou in our tavern?" Lu Jiuzhang asked with a smile.
"I don't know, I don't know. If you want to drink, come and sit down. If you don't want to drink, don't delay my business." The owner of the tavern had a bad attitude and waved Lu Jiuzhang away.
"I'll give you a hundred taels of silver and take me to find Old Yangtou." Lu Jiuzhang said.
"Your Majesty, what a generous gesture!"
The owner of the tavern immediately beamed with joy, "Old Yangtou has taken leave for the past two days and is not in the tavern. But I know exactly where he lives. There is a place called Yangcun just five kilometers outside the west city."
"Old Yangtou lives at the end of Yangcun. There are three thatched houses. They are shabby and dilapidated. You can see them as soon as you enter."
The shopkeeper said.
"Thank you, shopkeeper. By the way, I have one more thing to trouble you." Lu Jiuzhang said, "Someone may come to ask about Lao Yangtou later. Please write down their appearance."
"If the other party gives you money to ask you for information, no matter how much he gives, you must accept it, but don't say that I asked you to accept it. After writing down the other party's appearance, you go to Zhao's house in Qianji Building , looking for a girl named Zhao Yuru."
"Ask her to find a painter immediately and draw the other person's face."
"After it's done, if you ask that girl Zhao Yuru for ten thousand taels of silver, just say it was Lu Jiuzhang who said it."
When he heard the ten thousand taels of silver, the tavern owner smiled brightly and said, "Sir, if that's true, you won't lie to me?"
"Why did I lie to you?"
Lu Jiuzhang said, "Whether you can get these ten thousand taels of silver depends on whether you can handle the matter well."
After saying these words, Lu Jiuzhang and Heizi walked out of the tavern.
Something happened.
Unexpectedly, Old Yangtou was not in the tavern.
"Master Jiu, do you think Old Yangtou left the tavern because he knew you were coming to Jingzhao Mansion? Heizi asked.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out!"
Lu Jiuzhang nodded, "I am not an unknown person in today's Zhou Dynasty. After I came to Jingzhao Mansion, the news should have spread."
"After getting the news, the old Yangtou quickly returned to Yangcun to hide."
"Let's go to Yangcun to look for him now and see if we can't find out anything."
"But I'm curious about what role this old Yangtou played in the [Blood Corpse Case in Beijing] back then." Lu Jiuzhang murmured to himself.
"Master Xu said that he knows the clues to the [Blood Corpse Case in Beijing]. Logically speaking, he should have a high official position."
"But not only is he not dead, he is now a busboy in the tavern. This is a bit strange."
Lu Jiuzhang showed a mysterious smile, "Let's go, you should know it when you meet him."
After that, Lu Jiuzhang used his magical power [Close to the End of the World] and planned to use his great magical power to rush to Yangcun outside the city.
"Be bold!"
Suddenly there was a roar in the sky.
I saw a giant hand attacking Lu Jiuzhang and Heizi.
This giant hand carries terrifying pressure.
"What the hell, what the hell is this?" Heizi was shocked.
Lu Jiuzhang was also quite surprised. Could it be that the person behind it was planning to take action?
But this is Jingzhao Mansion, is the person behind the scenes planning to kill him in public?
If that's the case, it's not a big deal.
Lu Jiuzhang also wanted to use his magical powers to avoid this big hand.
But he seemed to be imprisoned, unable to move at all.
The giant hand covering the sky was also extremely magical. Except for Lu Jiuzhang and Heizi, no one nearby noticed it.
Only Lu Jiuzhang and Heizi felt the great pressure.
The giant hand that covered the sky instantly grabbed Lu Jiuzhang and Heizi.
The two of them also saw darkness and completely lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, Lu Jiuzhang finally woke up.
He and Heizi appeared in a cage constructed with spiritual power.
The world around here seems to be transformed into an illusion.
Lu Jiuzhang tried to get out, but found that his whole body was imprisoned with spiritual power. It was difficult for him to break through this cage constructed with spiritual power.
Soon, Heizi beside him also woke up in a hurry.
After seeing this cage, Heizi was furious, "What the hell, who trapped this beast here?"
Heizi ran headlong into the spiritual prison.
The next second, it was bounced back, causing pain all over the body.
"Damn it, this thing is very strange, I can't open it at all!" Heizi complained, "There are strong people who have exerted great magical powers here. Master Jiu, it's just the two of us to get out!"
