"Yes, sir." Chen Wen nodded and obeyed the order.
"However..." Lou Yunxiao changed the subject and said, "It's not very peaceful in Yancheng County recently. You two should be more careful."
Zhou Zhilu asked in surprise, "Not too peaceful? May I ask in what sense?"
Lou Yunxiao lowered his eyes and sighed, "Actually, I'm not sure about this yet. It's just that as I've been constantly eliminating some troublesome demons over the past few years, I've discovered some clues...
"I always feel like these monsters are being raised by someone."
Zhou Zhilu raised his eyebrows, instantly recalling the notes Shan Shangxiuhua had written on the wooden board. He whispered, "Lord Lou, raising demons at will is a capital offense. Who dares to do this?"
Lou Yunxiao said helplessly: "I don't know either, but these monsters seem to appear out of thin air every time, and their strength is not strong. They appear once every one or two months, which is really hard not to think too much.
"That's why I'm reminding you two. If someone really is raising a demon race, they'll probably try to stop you when they see you coming."
"Hmph!" Ling Qingxue suddenly snorted coldly.
Then he said coldly, "Then kill it with one sword."
…
After dinner.
Under the leadership of Chen Wen, the three found Zhang Liyuan, who was mainly responsible for the affairs of the carriage and horse shops, factories and other places in Yancheng County.
Unfortunately, Wang Qian was just an ordinary citizen after all, and Officer Zhang did not have any detailed information, but he did provide a clue:
Young and middle-aged people from Xiliu Village are usually arranged to work in the factory under Feng Yuan Escort Agency when they come to the county town to work. It is worth going there to take a look.
However, the manager of this factory was a sly old shrew who didn't care about their official status at all.
It was not until Zhou Zhilu and Ling Qingxue had a friendly communication with him that he honestly confessed that Wang Qian had not been here for more than a month, and because of his excellent performance, he had already recommended him to his superiors.
Afterwards, the two of them asked some of Wang Qian’s former coworkers, and unexpectedly, everyone had a deep impression of him.
It is said that Wang Qian is naturally very strong and can carry a lot of goods every time. Sometimes he can even do the work of two or three people in a day.
Therefore, Wang Qian earned more than others, but he still looked very poor later. However, Wang Qian often boasted that he had a good relationship with Mr. Feng and even went into Feng Yuan's Escort Agency, but no one believed it at the time.
From this, Zhou Zhilu discovered that the finger of blame for Wang Qian's disappearance...was pointed at Feng Yuan Escort Agency.
Thunder rumbled and dark clouds swept over Yancheng County, making people feel extremely depressed.
Zhou Zhilu and Ling Qingxue returned to the restaurant arranged by the county government to rest for a while.
Inside the room, Zhou Zhilu sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusting his physical condition.
Then golden light flashed in his eyes again, and the "Book of Realms" appeared.
During the day, I was only verifying one direction. Now I have a guess in my mind that needs to be verified, which also concerns the direction of my subsequent investigation.
He wrote: "On the 16th day of the 12th month of the 377th year of the Great Song calendar, a woman named Xiuhua from Xiliu Village in the Great Song Kingdom was murdered by her husband Wang Qian five days ago."
When I finished writing and raised the pen, I saw that the words had disappeared again!
Thicker gray mist poured into Zhou Zhilu's body.
"Ugh! How is that possible?!"
Zhou Zhilu covered his head in pain and said in disbelief, "It wasn't the demon clan, it wasn't Wang Qian, then who killed Xiuhua?"
Then he fainted on the bed with the world spinning around him.
