Chapter 1059 Unusual modus operandi

"it's me."

Li Yan nodded.

Jin Yiwei clasped his fists and saluted: "I met Mr. Li in Xiabei Town Fusi Deputy Qianhu Zhu Twelve. Seventh brother has been looking for his whereabouts. I want to thank him face to face for capturing the evil spirits and protecting the safety of the escort."

Li Yan returned the salute with his hands clasped, his expression as usual: "It's too much."

While the two were talking, the others were quiet and their expressions were uncertain.

Jinyiwei, a notorious organization, has been a deterrent to the bone marrow after nearly two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty. The group of spies with embroidered spring knives standing beside them, even if they don't say a word, can form an unparalleled Deterrence, Zhu Twelve's name, it sounds like the Thirteenth Taibao under Lu Bing's command, when was he so polite to a commoner?

But by addressing them, they also remembered one person.

In today's Nanzhili, there is a miracle doctor who is famous far and wide, and even a household name in Nanjing. Since Zhejiang is close to Nanzhili, it is easy to exchange news, so he reacted immediately.

"He is the miracle doctor Li Shizhen!"

"Change the head... the panacea... the Taoist doctor..."

In the whispers, several key words were mentioned repeatedly, everyone's eyes changed, and they vaguely understood why Jin Yiwei's attitude was so special.

This person's ability is unique. The head-changing operation caused such a frenzy among nobles, but he left in a cool way, and quietly came to the front line of the Anti-Japanese War to live in seclusion. Now, seeing the chaos that is about to emerge, he appeared again. It's really a faction Superior demeanor.

"It really is Mr. Li, Mr. sacrificed too much..."

Hu Zongxian had guessed a long time ago, but now he was confirmed, and he was even more moved by the fact that this man who was originally a hermit, only took the initiative to expose himself to Jin Yiwei's sight in order to help him.

"The Pillow Pill was made by this person... Hu Ruzhen is the supporter behind him!"

Ma Ningyuan and Xu Wei suddenly, especially the latter, immediately thought of the Pillow Pill.

With the support of a doctor, it is absurd to dare to fight against the strict party, but looking at this tall and straight figure, he is strangely settled down.

Not to mention them, even Deputy Qianhu Zhu Twelve said: "Seventh brother is full of praise for Mr.'s criminal case. Governor Zhang and Governor Li disappeared strangely this time. I hope you can help me!"

Li Yan didn't dodge it on purpose, he was too lazy to be disturbed, now that such a big event happened, he couldn't help but not to be disturbed, he nodded and said, "Let's do our best."

Zhu Twelve smiled: "Please!"

Under the leadership of the Deputy Qianhu, many officials stopped gathering in front of the hall and walked towards the inside.

Zhao Wenhua was anxious: "Wait! Wait!"

And me?I was in line with Hu Zongxian just now, why did you leave me alone?

Seeing that he was about to rush over, Luo Longwen gently held him back: "Master, please be patient and don't be impatient, first prepare the playbook and send it out quickly, and it won't be too late to come back and take control of the overall situation!"

Zhao Wenhua looked at Hu Zongxian's back with hatred, and was very unwilling: "I'm afraid that it will be too late. This Li is very famous and has extraordinary means. What if I support Hu Zongxian to take the position?"

Luo Longwen thought about what else to do, and said in a low voice: "Now that Jin Yiwei is partial to the side, it is not appropriate for the servant to confront him head-on!"

Zhao Wenhua looked at Zhu Twelve, feeling a little apprehensive.

Don't think that deputy Qianhu is a small official. Jinyiwei has one commander of the third rank, two Tongzhi commanders of the third rank, three commanders of the fourth rank, two emissaries of the fourth rank, and two commanders of the fifth rank. Fourteen households with fourteen people.

With all their efforts and calculations, these twenty people are the top executives of Jinyiwei, and they will be the deputy thousand households of each institute in the future.

Jin Yiwei has always been a lowly authority, and the commander is only a third-rank official, which is equal to Zhao Wenhua, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, but if the commander of Jin Yiwei really comes here, the third-rank servant may have weak legs.

Of course, as Yan Song's godson, Zhao Wenhua's status is not comparable to that of an ordinary servant, but the Thirteenth Taibao is also Lu Bing's confidant, and he doesn't have the real ability to control the situation, so there is really nothing he can do.

While gnashing his teeth, Zhao Wenhua could only walk slowly towards the outside of the mansion. As soon as he left the mansion, he saw another group of people arriving in the distance, and the two sedan chairs in the middle came down unhurriedly. Guo Hongjing and Wang Yongning walked down.

He was overjoyed, and hurried to meet him: "The two nobles came too timely, hurry up, quickly overwhelm that man's prestige!"

……

"Governor Zhang and Governor Li disappeared here?"

At the same time, Li Yan and his party came to the central government office.

This is a relatively crowded office area. Desks and chairs are arranged in a haphazard manner. Some of them are newly added at a glance, which shows that they are busy with business.

On weekdays, the military reports and Japanese pirates' movements of the counties along the coast would be sent here, and after Zhang Jing, the governor of the six provinces, would pass them on.

Li Yan observed it again, and asked, "Governor Zhang and Governor Li, have you been here together for a long time?"

The governor and the governor have their own affairs, and some of them don't get along or even barely see each other. Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong have a good relationship, but they can't be inseparable.

A personal attendant stepped forward to answer: "Governor Zhang and Governor Li usually only meet once every three or four days to discuss the prevention of Japanese pirates."

Li Yandao: "Then we can basically rule out personal enmity."

"If one person is missing, the other can immediately take over and stabilize the overall situation. There will be no chaos in Zhejiang. Only when the governor and governor disappear at the same time will a chaos be inevitable."

"Being missing in the same place will make it more difficult to block the news. The thieves must have planned it carefully and planned it long ago. How many people know the specific itinerary of Governor Zhang and Governor Li? Is there any possibility of it being leaked to the pirates?"

The officials present looked at each other in blank dismay: "This..."

Zhu Twelve's eyes turned cold, and he snorted: "What's the matter, are you guilty?"

Li Yan was asking questions routinely. In fact, he had known for a long time that the commander-in-chief of the Anti-Japanese War was missing, and the Japanese pirates had huge suspicions, but they were not the only suspects.

Historically, Zhu Wan, Zhang Jing, and Hu Zongxian, the three anti-Japanese commanders in the Jiajing Dynasty, two committed suicide, and one beheaded in a downtown area. Making money, destroying people's money, is tantamount to killing parents.

In all fairness, the sea ban was originally a wrong national policy and violated the laws of national development, but these rich merchants and gentry colluded with Japanese pirates to smuggle, and then allowed the Japanese pirates to invade the people in the coastal areas, burn, kill and loot, and did all kinds of evil, they deserved to die.

However, this group of people is hiding in the dark, the roots of the tree are deep and intertwined. The officials and government servants present do not know how many spies and collusion there are. The suspicion is definitely not small, and it is hard to say what will happen.

Hu Zongxian looked at Xu Wei, Xu Wei shook his head lightly, this line is too complicated to check.

Li Yan didn't take it seriously, and re-observed: "If the motive is complicated, then start with the modus operandi..."

Zhu Twelve whispered: "It is impossible for ordinary people to make the two important officials disappear in full view, unless it is the magic of the evil spirits. Mister can also catch the demons, can you be sure of breaking the curse?"

Li Yan shook his head lightly: "It's impossible to say anything, it's not confirmed yet, don't assert that it's the work of evil magic."

The two cases encountered in this world, one is Du Jiuniang's head change, and the other is Tao Yin's demonic murderous nature.

But this time, the modus operandi seems even more unusual.

Since he came around the government office, he has been searching for the breath of the practitioner, that is, the interaction between the murderer and the scene.

When ordinary people enter the scene, they will inevitably leave various traces, and when practitioners cast spells, they will also leave traces, such as ghosts and demons, with a more intense aura.

But no matter outside the mansion or inside the mansion, there is no strange and strange atmosphere, and there are no traces of onmyoji and ninja left.

"This is strange..."

Just as he was thinking, accompanied by the sound of hurried footsteps, Zhao Wenhua's slightly sharp voice came: "Everyone, the savior is here!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhao Wenhua walking in with two Taoist priests, one tall, one short, one fat and one thin, and introduced: "This is Guo Gaoshi, this is Wang Gaoshi, both of them are masters of the sky. His direct disciple, with great supernatural powers, is here to help!"

The two Taoist priests also said with a bit of reserve: "Master Zhao has praised you, but he doesn't dare to be called supernatural powers. He just heard that Governor Zhang and Governor Li disappeared for no reason, or there may be demons doing things. As a high-ranking scholar conferred by the imperial court, I should give a helping hand." !"

In fact, they didn't want to take responsibility, but they were enshrined by the court, and they came to sacrifice to the sea with great fanfare this time. They couldn't completely avoid such things, so they simply came here on their own initiative.

Everyone was full of disgust towards Zhao Wenhua, and they also looked forward to the two celestial masters and disciples, and Lu Tong stepped forward to thank them.

In an instant, everyone's attention shifted, Ma Ningyuan's face changed, Hu Zongxian and Xu Wei were silent, Zhu Twelve observed Li Yan, and saw that the Daoist doctor who had been robbed of the limelight looked calm, and even seemed to be sympathetic. Interestedly put on a spectator posture.

At this time, after saying a few words on the scene, Guo Hongjing began to order: "Bring the pens that Governor Zhang and Governor Li have the most contact with on weekdays!"

After presenting the two pens quickly, he said to Wang Yongning, "Master, please practice the method to determine the whereabouts of the two important officials with the soul-searching formula."

"it is good!"

With Wang Yongning's cuff, eight talismans flew out and fell to the ground, forming a simple gossip altar. He stretched out his hand a little, and the pen hung in the air.

The authentic Yubu is actually very ugly, limping, walking like a cripple. Legend has it that Dayu went through untold hardships when he was controlling the water. , sick feet, so they walk lamely...but common witches imitate Yu's steps."

Later, Taoism used this gait to pray to the gods, send gods to summon spirits, exorcise evil spirits and welcome the truth, and then walk and turn according to the positions of the Big Dipper, just like stepping on the stars and constellations. up.

At this time, Wang Yongning, who was tall and thin, was holding a talisman sword, stepping into a fight, and muttering in his mouth: "The order of the immortal master of the gods, the order of heaven belongs to my heart, the nine days chase the soul of people, the palm of the hand three springs, and the feet attract the souls of the four directions... ..."

The ups and downs of the incantation and the chic and outstanding shape made everyone feel full of expectations, and Zhao Wenhua couldn't wait to applaud loudly.

Only Li Yan frowned secretly.

It's not that there is a problem with the spells. This Taoist priest has real abilities, but... not much.

Because the mana is really low.

He didn't know how many years this direct disciple of the celestial master had practiced, but at least he came to this world for three months, absorbed the energy of heaven and earth every day, and transformed the mana stored in Niwan Palace, which was Wang Yongning's level.

That is to say, in terms of mana cultivation alone, Wang Yongning is at most similar to Li Yan on the eve of leaving Nanjing, and his actual combat ability must be exhausted.

very weak...

Wang Yongning obviously didn't think so. He stepped on Yu steps and ran around in circles rapidly. The circle of light shines.

"Hurry up like a decree! Edict!"

In the end, Wang Yongning pointed confidently, the spell was formed, the talisman sword was sheathed, and with his back to the altar, he made a final gesture.

All the spectators held their breath and looked at the two pens suspended in mid-air, waiting for their reactions.

According to Guo Hongjing's introduction to Soul Searching Art just now, these two pens tainted with a strong aura will point to the whereabouts of Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong.

If the shielding effect of the enemy's spell is not strong, it can still sense the approximate distance. If the enemy's spell is strong, then what you see will be a spinning screen...

In any case, there will be some feedback, an answer will be obtained, and then the next part will be pursued.

This is indeed much better than ordinary means, and it is the embodiment of the transcendence of practitioners.

However, everyone's eyes widened, and what they expected did not come true.

No landing was heard.

Wang Yongning's heart sank, and he turned around to look.

Those two were hanging straight in the air, motionless, without the slightest deviation in direction.

The air suddenly quieted down.
