Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 101 See You Again
"It's more than just one person." Lei Bao's face was a little ugly, he was silent for a moment, and then said, "Since brother Lin has caught up, why don't we go and see together?"

"Let's go." Of course Lin Ji wanted to find out.

The two left the courtyard together, Lin Ji followed Lei Bao and asked, "Who is Wei Shangshu?"

He is not very familiar with the officials in the court.

"Wei Yuansheng, Minister of the Household Department."

"Second-rank officer."

"That's right." Lei Bao nodded, "Since the last time you pointed out the matter of Mrs. Luo Xiang, Supervisor Tiansi conducted an investigation in the city, only to find that the victim was far more than Mrs. Luo."

Lei Bao said in a deep voice: "More than a dozen family members of officials have been killed by people. The method is to refine the living into the living dead, which is the so-called transformation of women."

"This incident also made officials at all levels in the capital panic, and they were in fear all day long."

Lin Ji was puzzled and said: "The capital is the land of dragon veins, and it's the time when the new emperor ascends the throne. The dragon's aura is surging and evil spirits can't invade. How could it be?"

"This is the weird thing about this matter! When those murdered people left, they all had reasons. No matter how absurd they said, no one would find out unless the incident happened."

Lei Bao's eyes became strange, and he looked at Lin Ji.

"Brother Lin, do you remember what Madam Luo said when she left Beijing?"

Lin Ji thought for a moment and said, "I remember that Mrs. Luo went out of the city to visit relatives."

"Luo Xiang and his wife are both from the capital, and they don't have any relatives outside."

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Lin Ji suddenly remembered.

After the matter of the ghost king in Liangcheng was over, Yunshan, the official of Youtian, also said this.

"Did someone use tricks?"

"That's right." Lei Bao continued with a gloomy face, "So after that, we have issued a strict order not to allow family members of officials to leave the city."

"It's about my own life. Naturally, no one dares to disobey this order. But after all, there is no thousand-day defense against thieves, or someone took advantage of the loophole."

"Is it Mrs. Wei?" Lin Ji was stunned.

"Yes." Lei Bao nodded, "A few days ago, Mrs. Wei went out of the city to say that she was going to worship her parents, but the people below dared not stop her. When I heard the news, they had already left the city."

"I went after it again, but I only found the sedan chair of the Wei residence. The bearers and maids are all dead, but Mrs. Wei is nowhere to be found."

Hearing this, Lin Ji let out a long sigh.

He didn't run away, most likely he was killed.

In the time it took to speak, the two had already arrived at the Wei Mansion.

Walking into the mansion with Lei Bao, there are already many demon hunters present.

In the lobby, a door panel was placed on the ground, and a lady in luxurious clothes was tied to the door panel, twisting and struggling constantly.

On the side seat, an old man with gray hair and red eyes said nothing.

Lei Bao led Lin Ji into the lobby, and first saluted the old man slightly.

"My lord Wei, I'm sorry."

Wei Yuansheng clenched his hands into fists, and said in a cold voice: "When Madam left a few days ago, I didn't believe what you said, but at this moment!"

Lei Bao saluted again, and said: "I want to check Mrs. Wei's condition, I'm sorry."

"Please go ahead." Wei Yuansheng shook his head.

Lei Bao responded and looked at Lin Ji again.

"Brother Lin, come and see if there is any difference from Mrs. Luo Xiang's situation back then."

Lin Ji was also very curious about this matter, so naturally he would not shirk it.

After some inspection, Lin Ji breathed a sigh of relief and looked up at Leibao.

"There are corpse spots on his body, he can't speak, and his anger is stagnant in his body, which is exactly the same as Mrs. Luo's situation that day."

At this moment, Wei Yuansheng looked at Lin Ji and asked Lei Bao, "Boss Lei, who is this?"

"Liangzhou's chief arrester, Lin Ji, was the one who discovered what happened in Luo Xiang's residence."

Wei Yuansheng understood, and nodded to Lin Ji as a greeting.

After confirming that Mrs. Wei was hopeless, Lei Bao directly ordered people to take Mrs. Wei away.

Wei Yuansheng didn't say a word about this, and Lei Bao didn't explain it either.

Apparently he's used to it.

After leaving the Wei Mansion, Lin Ji finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Lord Lei, have you still not got a clue about this case in a few months?"

"No, the victim is not in the city at all, and I don't know how to confuse the family members of these officials in the city to leave the city."

Speaking of this matter, Lei Bao's face became ugly.

"Taking shots at the family members of the officials is the basis for destroying Daqin! But they dare not deal with the officials themselves, which shows that the other party is still jealous, or it may just be an appetizer at this time."

Lei Bao looked at Lin Ji with brilliance in his eyes.

"The appetizers are so rich, what should I do if the main meal is served?"

Lin Ji was silent, but his heart was already extremely vigilant.

He thought of the conversation with Fang Yunshan again.

Fang Yunshan said that the purpose of plotting against Luo Xiang was to shake the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty.

Luo Xiang has a high weight, and he is protected by the national destiny, so that evil spirits cannot invade, so it is naturally difficult to deal with.

But not so with his family.

If his family members were moved, and Luo Xiang himself was implicated, it would naturally implicate the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty.

"Perhaps Luo Xiang alone will not cause the fate of the Great Qin to wither, but now it seems that Luo Xiang is not the only one who suffers, and the other party came prepared." Lin Ji thought to himself.

After this incident happened, Lei Bao didn't have the heart to welcome Lin Ji anymore.

After exchanging a few polite words, Lei Bao left in a hurry.

Lin Ji went back to the small house and rested for a while before talking.

……

In the evening, it was almost dark.

When Lin Ji was sleeping on the bed, half dreaming and half awake, there was a knock on the door.

"Who?"

No one answered.

Lin Ji walked out of the room helplessly, pushed open the door, only to find a middle-aged man standing outside.

Wearing a decent gown, with a little smile on his face.

After seeing Lin Ji, the man bowed and saluted.

"But Mr. Lin from Liangzhou?"

"it's me."

"My master invited Mr. Lin to a banquet."

While speaking, the man handed over another invitation card.

Lin Ji took the invitation, and after opening it, he found that there was a line of beautiful small characters on the invitation, which just said that Lin Ji was invited to come and talk, without even a signature.

"Who is your master?"

"The surname is Lu."

Lin Ji froze for a moment, and then came back to his senses.

"Duke Zhen?"

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded.

Lin Ji laughed in surprise and accepted the invitation.

Don't think about it, the beautiful small characters must have been written by Lu Zhaoer.

This girl is well-informed, he only came to the capital during the day, and came to treat guests to dinner at night.

"Wait for me to change my clothes."

While talking, Lin Ji glanced at the door again.

The sedan chairs are all ready.

After swiftly changing into a decent long gown, Lin Ji got into Lu's sedan chair.

The road was bumpy, but after a while, the sedan chair stopped.

"Master Lin, we're here."

"So fast?" Lin Ji stepped out of the sedan chair, stood on the ground with both feet, and looked back.

At the end of his eyes, he could even vaguely see the big peach tree in the small yard where he used to live.

"Is it still necessary to take a sedan chair with such a short distance?" Lin Ji was quite speechless.
