One stone stirred up a thousand waves, and the entire Qi County was mobilized.
Common people, street gangsters, and police officers were all dispatched, each relying on their own channels to investigate.
Zhang Ke turned into a swallow and sat on the bell tower, quietly observing.
The Qixian Bell Tower was built eight years ago. It is located in the middle of Qixian County and is six feet high. There are huge bells on each side to tell the time.
This clock has greatly facilitated the lives of residents and has also accumulated a lot of fame for Xiantian Yiqi Sect.
night.
Somewhere in Qi County.
It was a starless and moonless night, and the back door of a residence in Qi County opened quietly.
A man poked his head out, looked around, and then walked out.
Dressed in black, with his head and face covered, he walked quietly along the wall, twisting and turning, and arrived near a mansion.
First, he observed in secret for a few minutes, and then quickly walked to the door after seeing nothing unusual.
"Bah bang bang!"
One long and two short knocks on the door. Someone seemed to be waiting inside the door, and they immediately responded: "Who?"
"I!"
The man outside the door lowered his voice and said.
With a "squeak" sound, the door opened slightly. The man stepped in and the door immediately closed.
The two people quietly entered the study.
A crow stood on the treetop, eyes closed, seeming to be dozing.
Suddenly he flapped his wings and flew silently into the yard, flew around the study, turned into a mouse again, and crawled in along the small hole in the wall.
The masked man in the study took off his mask.
The owner of the study said anxiously: "There are so many eyes outside now. I don't care if you want to die, but don't involve me!"
The man sneered: "When you first started doing things, you took a lot of money!"
The owner of the study room shouted excitedly: "You didn't tell me at the beginning that those spiritual rice were from Yiqi Sect, otherwise, I...I..."
The man laughed and said: "Don't deceive yourself. In Qi County, who else can mobilize spiritual creatures besides Yiqi Sect!"
The owner of the study fell silent, and the atmosphere in the room gradually became strange.
The man said, "What's the matter? Are you thinking about it?"
"Haha! How could that happen?"
The owner of the study room laughed awkwardly twice, paused, and then said: "It's just that the Yiqi Sect has sent people to investigate again. I'm afraid this will be difficult! I'm afraid I still need your help as the county magistrate!"
"That's natural, but we still need to think of a foolproof solution. How about simply killing the woman who came to investigate?"
This person is Zhu Changhe, the magistrate of this county.
The owner of the study room shook his head: "That's not right. If the two disciples died here, I'm afraid it would attract attention!"
Zhu Changhe said: "It's easy. Kill her and let's escape from Dingzhou together. I'm afraid we won't have a future by then!"
".Who are you? Who sent you?"
"Haha, shopkeeper Lin, what do you think?"
The person known as Shopkeeper Lin is Lin Huaiyuan, the richest man in Qi County. He was tricked by Zhu Changhe a year ago and was unable to escape.
This year, I have been forced to pass on a lot of information to Zhu Changhe, which has made it impossible to go back.
The two secretly spied for a while before Zhu Changhe quietly left and returned to the county government office.
He called his confidants and asked, "Can Chief Fanhua express his satisfaction with the county government's actions?"
A confidant said: "Prince Fanhua has been waiting for news in the guest room. When I passed by just now, I saw the light was on and sent some tea!"
Zhu Changhe said with satisfaction: "Well done, follow the Taoist priest closely and try to satisfy any needs you have."
I sent my confidants away, had a cup of tea, and thought about the next step.
An hour later, with a plan in mind, I took out a pen and paper, wrote down a few words, folded the note, mixed it into the book on the desk, turned off the light and went to sleep.
Early the next morning, while Zhu Changhe was doing business in front of the Yamen, Zhang Ke quietly entered and read the note first:
"On the first day of October, the bell tower will kill the thieves!"
After reading it, he quietly left and watched secretly.
A few minutes later, the handyman who came to clean the house found the note after tidying up the desk, and continued cleaning calmly.
He looked around carefully and saw that everything was normal, then he hid the note in his hat and took it out.
Seeing that no one was paying attention, he quietly left the county office and headed north.
Using the surrounding buildings, we circled back and forth several times, and after confirming that no one was following us, we arrived at an alley in the north of the county.
This is a narrow alley that is forty meters long, and there is no one at this time.
The handyman twisted the note in his hand and stood in the alley observing.
This is the last insurance. If someone follows, he will not be able to escape his eyes. If there is any mistake, he will destroy the note.
He stood quietly, looking at both sides of the alley with his peripheral vision.
After a few minutes, nothing unusual happened.
He breathed a sigh of relief, quickly put the note into a hollow brick, and left quickly.
Outside a wall, a black cat with white paws was lying on the wall with its eyes closed, seemingly basking in the sun, and purring from time to time.
Late at night, a watchman beat the gong and entered the alley.
"Bang!. Bang bang!."
A hoarse voice came: "The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of the candle!"
"Bang!. Bang bang!."
The watchman walked to the place where the note was placed, glanced left and right, bent down and took off his shoes, poured the sand out of them, and checked left and right, but found nothing unusual.
He quickly took out the note from behind the brick and put it into his shoes, then put on his shoes again, stretched out, and continued the watchman's work.
Zhang Ke just followed the threads quietly.
Secretly smacking his tongue, he has already discovered more than a dozen detailed works, and he doesn't know how many more have not been discovered.
He has already sent the news to Fanhua and told her to still wait in Qixian County.
At the same time, he uses his identity token to send a signal for help to the beacon.
This is a new function after joining the Wind Catcher and changing the identity token.
There are two functions: asking for help and asking for help. Asking for help refers to a situation that one's own realm cannot cope with, while asking for help only requires help from the same realm.
A caravan left Qixian and headed south, with Zhang Ke following suit.
He was very careful. The disaster of the snake witch last time completely destroyed his luck.
So although I followed him all the way, my body shape changed frequently.
He has the sense to observe secretly, so he is not worried about missing anything, but he is afraid that he will be discovered and fall short of the success.
Sure enough, his caution was right, and that day he was turning into a fish in the water to monitor the caravan from a distance.
A divine thought passed by like the wind.
With a movement in my heart, I felt the full force spread out and observed the caravan.
He is not afraid of his perception being discovered. True Lord Xinghe once tried it, but even he almost failed to discover it.
If it weren't for the limited monitoring range of Perception, there would be no need for close monitoring.
A hooded middle-aged man quietly entered the cart where the caravan manager was sitting.
Asked: "Why do you come to me?"
The caravan manager smiled bitterly: "There is no way, Viper has sent news!"
"Oh? Bring it!"
The caravan manager handed the note to the middle-aged man, read it and said happily: "Finally we are going to take action! Okay, I will send the news back. I don't know what Viper's specific plan is, but it actually requires the cooperation of five golden elixirs!"
After saying that, his spiritual thoughts swept over him again and left in a flash.
Zhang Ke was startled. He couldn't keep up with the master of Jindan Realm, so he quietly transformed into a falcon and flew back to Qi County.
Without alerting anyone else, he quietly entered the flower room.
Fan Hua was quite frightened, and she realized that Zhang Ke actually had such abilities. After asking, she was greatly envious, and Zhang Ke explained the situation again.
Fanhua said: "After getting your news, I have been here pretending to investigate, but there is no news from the sect!"
"Um!"
"Today is September 23rd. There are still seven days before the target launches the plan. There is still time. Listening to the middle-aged Jindan master, there are five Jindan who are here to carry out the plan. You are waiting here. I guess you won't be able to do it for the time being.
I will attack you. I will go back to the mountain to ask for help. You must be careful. If something goes wrong, don’t hold on and evacuate immediately!”
Fanhua agreed, and Zhang Ke thought for a while and asked: "Are you sure that Zhu Changhe is an ordinary person and not a practitioner?"
Fanhua nodded: "He is definitely not a practitioner!"
Zhang Ke murmured to himself: "Then is he a viper?"
After flying all the way, I returned to the sect in only one day. I looked for Ming Deng first, but unfortunately he wasn't there and I don't know if Ming Deng understood the meaning of the message he sent.
Then he went to find Master Chongxiao. As the leader of the Catching Platform, Master Chongxiao usually did not leave the sect easily. He found him successfully and reported the matter in detail.
Master Chongxiao was shocked. This kind of thing has not happened for many years.
After careful questioning, he said to Zhang Ke: "I don't know what the target's plan is yet, but I'm going to ask the enemy to be lenient. I'll ask True Lord Lieyan to take charge."
Zhang Ke said hesitantly: "Zhenjun is making too much noise, I'm worried that someone will notice him!"
Master Chongxiao narrowed his eyes. He understood what Zhang Ke meant. He was worried about the existence of Xizuo in the door.
He sneered: "It doesn't matter, I just caught it!"
Zhang Ke was relieved and he just raised his concerns.
But come to think of it, Master Chongxiao has been fighting wits and courage with all parties for many years and has rich experience.
There is no point in continuing to stay in the sect.
He spoke to Master Chongxiao and turned into a falcon soaring into the sky.
Master Chongxiao couldn't help but be envious. Even he was eager to envy this kind of ability.
We were speechless all the way, after returning to Qixian County.
Zhang Ke did not officially show up, but turned into a parrot, was deliberately caught by others, showed a certain spirituality, was presented to Fanhua, and stayed by Fanhua's side openly.
On September 26, Zhu Changhe and one person hurriedly arrived outside the Flower Gate.
Across the doorway: "Master Fanhua, there are clues to the Lingmi case!"
Fanhua opened the door directly and came out, saying anxiously: "If you have any clues, come here quickly, I will definitely benefit you!"
Zhu Changhe thanked him hurriedly, and then said: "I heard someone reported that two practitioners were found staying at his house.
He was careful about using spiritual rice for cooking, secretly withheld one, and quietly reported the incident.
I compared it with Kuzhong Lingmi. The color is light yellow and the ends are slightly white. It is exactly the same as Kuzhong Lingmi!"
After saying that, he took out two grains of spiritual rice and handed them to Fanhua.
After comparing the flowers, he said happily: "That's true!"
Then he turned around and asked, "Is he the one who reported the crime?"
Zhu Changhe nodded to confirm, Fanhua asked in detail, and it was generally consistent with what Zhu Changhe said.
He was overjoyed and took out a hundred taels of gold as a reward to the man.
After that, he was led by that person to that person's home. The two people staying overnight had already left.
After careful inspection, there were indeed signs that the rice had been cooked.
But at the same time, I discovered that the place where I stayed for the night had traces of the Jindan Master’s respiration.
This trace is very light, and after a quarter of an hour, there won't even be a trace left.
