Nonsense, when Wu Bufan was claiming credit for killing Liang, there were quite a few people from the Black Lotus sect hiding in the county government and the Demon Suppression Department in Mianyuan County.
With these people standing in the way, how could the Mianyuan County Town Demon Division reward Wu Bufan for his merits?
It was just his luck that he didn't send someone to kill him right away.
Of course, it is also possible that the demon from the Black Lotus Sect in Mianyuan County recognized that the corpse sent by Wu Bufan was not a follower of the Black Lotus Sect, and thought that he was killing a good person and taking credit for it.
That's why there was no reward and no one was sent to deal with him.
Otherwise Wu Bufan would have died a few months ago before Qin Shaoyou came to deal with him.
Just as Qin Shaoyou was pondering these issues, Hong Gongliang reported another situation:
"By the way, sir, although those martial artists and monks are all looking for two foreigners, an old man and a young man, in Lingjie Town, they are not in the same group."
"Not a group?"
Qin Shaoyou raised his eyebrows slightly.
Besides the Black Lotus Sect, is there anyone else looking for Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni?
Which party will it be?
Are they reinforcements sent by the imperial court? Or other forces that want to make a fuss about Zhang Xiaoni's identity?
"Are you sure? How do you know?"
"That's what the two monks who were captured alive said. It was only after they arrived at Lingjie Town that they discovered that the group of warriors were also looking for these two people. They also sent people to keep an eye on those warriors, intending to find out who the other party was.
The origin and purpose. Before the results could be found out, Wu Thief contacted the demons and ghosts and killed them all."
I see.
Qin Shaoyou understood and asked again: "What about you? Do you know the origins of those warriors?"
Hong Gongliang shook his head: "We don't know. Those warriors were attacked and killed by the group of infant ghosts raised by Wu thieves. No one was left alive, and nothing that could be used to identify them was found on them. But I remember, Wu
When the thief saw them, he once said that they had a strong smell of military service, and they might have been in the army like him..."
A soldier?
Qin Shaoyou couldn't help but think of Dongchuan Hou.
That marquis is the one who leads the troops to fight.
So, could those warriors be him, or were they sent by his prince?
After all, after the case on the third day of March, the prince of Dongchuan Hou went to the Demon Suppression Division to help the noble man with a message, asking him to take more care of the few of them who survived the case on the third day of March.
The case on the third day of March is basically related to Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni.
So will the nobleman behind Dongchuan Hou Shizi, or Dongchuan Hou Shizi himself, also know the true identities of Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni?
If you know, what role did they play in this matter, and what did they do?
Qin Shaoyou feels that this matter is becoming more and more complicated.
After pondering for a moment, he asked again: "After killing the martial artist and the monk, have you ever gone to find those two foreigners?"
"Looked for it."
Hong Gongliang nodded.
"At that time, Thief Wu said that these two groups came to look for the two foreigners, and they must be carrying something very precious.
He wanted to seize the treasure and exchange it for money and share it with everyone. In fact, we all know that he just wanted to kill people to seize the treasure and keep it for himself.
However, when we launched an investigation, we discovered that the two foreigners actually took the opportunity to run away when Wu Thief started to kill the group of warriors and monks.
At that time, we suspected that the two outsiders might have noticed that there were warriors and monks looking for them, and even the news that the higher-level Demon Suppression Department sent people to investigate the Wu thief was spread by them.
He just wanted Thief Wu to start a dog-eat-dog fight with the two groups so that they could have a chance to escape.
Thief Wu was angry and unwilling, so he asked us to go out of the town to search, and at the same time he asked his demon friends and ghost friends for help, but we still found nothing."
Qin Shaoyou understood that Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni were probably forced to hide in this abandoned baby tower by Wu Bufan, who led his men and demons to search for them.
But that's not right either.
This Abandoned Baby Tower is the territory of Gankou Shu.
Will Gankou Shu know that they are hiding here? Will he report it to Wu Bufan?
But the jade pendant, a supernatural item, and the gold and silver inside the baggage cannot be faked.
After some speculation, Qin Shaoyou felt that there might be other supernatural objects in Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni's bodies, which could hide them from Gankou Shu's detection.
Or Gankou Mouse became greedy after discovering Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni, and wanted to swallow the treasure carried by Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni, but the two of them escaped and even injured it.
.
Afterwards, Gankoushu was afraid that Wu Bufan would punish him severely if he knew the truth, so he simply did not report it and pretended that the incident had not happened at all.
After Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni escaped from the search of Wu Bufan and others and got out of the Abandoned Infant Tower, they went all the way to Guankou County.
Then, for some unknown reason, his whereabouts were exposed, leading the demons from the Black Lotus Sect to search for him in Guankou County?
Not to mention, after such a series of events, the events before and after were really connected together.
"Where do those two foreigners live in Lingjie Town? Take me to see them."
Qin Shaoyou ordered that he planned to go to the place where Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni once lived to see if he could find any more clues.
"They rented a house in the west end of the town."
Hong Gongliang did not dare to neglect, and immediately took Qin Shaoyou back to Lingjie Town.
When leaving, Qin Shaoyou left Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu behind, asking them to stay here and help take care of the grieving people.
At this moment, beside the ruins of the Abandoned Infant Tower, many people in Lingjie Town were holding the bones of their children and howling bitterly.
And in the ruins, there are still many people staying, frantically looking for the bones of their children.
Qin Shaoyou was afraid that something might happen to these people, so he had to leave someone to guard them.
Su Jianqing responded: "Leave this matter to us, don't worry, wait for these people to cry and vent, and when they are done, I will cast spells to help them calm down."
Su Tingyu also said: "With us here, there will definitely be no problem."
Qin Shaoyou said "Thank you" to the two of them, and then ordered: "When Senior Brother Cui finds out, you ask him to return to the town and report to me."
Su Jianqing and Su Tingyu nodded in unison to express their understanding.
Qin Shaoyou, led by Hong Gongliang, quickly returned to Lingjie Town and found the house rented by Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni at the west end of the town.
The house is not big and the location is relatively remote, so after Lao Zhangtou and Zhang Xiaoni left, they have not been able to rent it out again.
For Qin Shaoyou, this is good news, maybe he can find some clues left behind.
The owner of the house was quickly found by Hong Gongliang.
When he took out the key and opened the door, Qin Shaoyou asked about the situation of the two previous foreign tenants.
As a result, I was told:
"Those two tenants, one is an elderly lady, and the other is a very cute little boy with delicate features.
The old lady is very polite in dealing with others, while the little boy is well-behaved, smart and lovable.
According to the old lady, she and the little boy are related by grandson. She was originally doing business with the little boy's parents in other places, but something happened to the little boy's parents, so she took the little boy with her and prepared to go there.
The little boy's uncle.
As a result, halfway through the journey, the old lady contracted a cold and fell ill, so she had to rent a house in Lingjie Town to stay temporarily until she recovered from her illness before continuing on the journey.
Later, for some reason, the two of them suddenly left without even refunding the deposit."
At this point, the face of the owner of the house suddenly changed and he asked nervously.
"Sir, what is your Demon Suppression Department doing with those grandparents and grandsons? Could they be ghosts?
Oops, will my house become a haunted house?
I heard Mr. Shu said that when ghosts pretend to be living people to rent a house, they use snakes, scorpions and other things to turn them into money to deceive people. If people accept these, they will be bitten without knowing it, and then their yang energy will be sucked away.
.
Recently, I really feel a little powerless. Even the old lady at home said that I am not as good as the old Wang next door...Have I really been sucked away by ghosts? Will my life be in danger? "
