Chapter 177 Mantis, Cicada, Oriole and Feeders

The heavy rain crazily cast rain curtains between the sky and the earth.

The rain and fog are hazy for thousands of miles, and the sky is gray, covering everything on the earth.

The rain is erratic and the wind is constant.

A carriage came out of the east city of Kyoto, the rolling wheels rolled over, splashing mud and water.

"Sa! Sa! Sa! Sa!"

In the warm and comfortable carriage, Chen Xiaoer slowly opened his eyes and yawned.

After tidying up the black cloak of moderate thickness, he straightened his legs as far as possible, and simply stretched his body.

beside him,

Er Huo Long Kean kept dozing off, and smacked his mouth from time to time.

Sometimes I scratch my nose with my paws and sleep soundly.

"Xiaochuan, where are you?" Chen Xiaoer opened the curtain and looked from a distance.

It was so foggy that no one could be seen on the plain.

"Not long after leaving Shangyuan County, the road is rough. I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the next town before dark." Jiang Chuan's voice sounded.

Chen Xiaoer nodded, waved his hand and slapped Erhuolong on the head.

"Who is slapping the dragon's head of the uncle!"

The Erhuolong who was slapped suddenly woke up, staring at a pair of shiny long eyes, and shouted loudly.

"Are you itchy?"

Hearing the plain sound in his ear, Erhuolong was shocked.

A dragon face suddenly changed into a smiling one, turned around and said flatteringly: "It turns out to be the big brother, if you have anything to ask, please tell me."

"Go out and see if there is a place to rest nearby."

"... blah!"

After saying aloud, Erhuolong jumped out of the window and fell into the rain.

The second dragon leaves,

Chen Xiaoer took out a dossier from the bundle beside him.

【name】:
Qingzhou Donglai County, Yangcheng, Fulai Auction House's massacre!

【Number】: B, C, Nine, Zero One, A, One.

...these numbers mean:

In the Shengyang Dynasty, each state was numbered according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches such as 'A, B, C, D...'.

In addition, the code names of the core counties in each state start with 'A'.

For example, the place where Kyoto is located is Yanzhou, and Kyoto has a special status, even above the county, so the code name is naturally 'Jia'.

Although Donglai County is also a big city, because King Wen's fief is Beihai County, Beihai County is the core.

Start with the word 'A'!
Dongnae County uses 'B' as the beginning code.

The second 'C' means the confidentiality level of the dossier.The following 'nine' is the month;
'Longyi' means the first day of junior high school;

... The second 'A' in the serial number means Jia night on the first day of junior high school, that is, the time of the first watch.

The last 'one' is accurate to the moment.

[Type]: Jianghu vendetta.

[Case filing time]: On the second day of September.

[Case Closing Time]: Three o'clock on the third day of September.

【Affiliation of the file】: Donglai County, Dali Temple.

[Person who wrote the paper]: Li Weigong, the prefect of Dongjun; Mo Wuya, the censor of embroidered clothes.

[Review]: Mo Wuya, the censor of embroidered clothes.

——This case has two volumes, the second volume has five pages.

"Fulai Auction House extermination case..." Chen Xiaoer's eyes flickered, and he opened the cover.

The details of the case are as follows:

【Time of incident】:
On August [-]th, Fulai Auction House held a month-end auction as usual.

The first item in the auction is a volume of sword manuals containing ancient swordsmen.

After some bidding, the sword book was won by Qing Hongcheng, the young master of 'Qing Jue Palace'.

However, on the way back to the 'Qingjue Palace', Qing Hongcheng was attacked and killed by a group of frontal thieves. During the battle, Qing Hongcheng lifted his veil alone.

It was the reception staff of Fulai Auction House.

Afterwards, Qing Hongcheng fled all the way and returned to the sect.

On the first day of September, the head of the 'Qingjue Palace' was furious, and three hundred Qingjue disciples went down the mountain and broke into Fulai's other courtyard.

The Fulai Auction House was wiped out, and Lu Linlang, the only daughter of the Lu family, escaped and disappeared without a trace.

[On-site survey of Wuzuo in Dongnae County]:
It is a normal arena vendetta, the main weapons are knives, swords, fists, and palms, there is no doubt about it.

[The case has been deduced and corroborated in detail]: Undoubtedly.

[Response result]: The world is a mess, Fulai Auction House kills people and seizes treasures, their hands and feet are not clean, and they deserve to die.

【Archive Date】: The third day of September.

"Xiao Chuan, have you read the dossier of Fulai Auction House?" Chen Xiaoer said suddenly.

A moment later, Jiang Chuan's voice sounded outside the carriage.

"...Look." As he spoke, he added: "There are many doubts in this case, and Donglai County is cheating."

Chen Xiaoer got up and lifted the curtain, looked at Jiang Chuan who was driving seriously, and said:
"tell me your opinion."

Hearing this, Jiang Chuan tightened the reins with his small hands, and after the horse slowed down, he said:
"First of all, the young master of 'Qing Jue Palace', Qing Hongcheng was attacked and killed."

"...One of the doubts I can't figure out."

Chen Xiaoer narrowed his eyes and said, "You mean the auction item?"

"Not bad." Jiang Chuan nodded and said:

"Although Fulai Auction House is not a large auction house, it is quite famous in Qingzhou."

"An ancient sword manual sounds really precious, but it can be listed as the first lot, which means it's not that precious."

"At least compared to the later auction items, it is not so precious."

"Fulai Auction House will not do the kind of half-way killing to seize the treasure for this reason, and risk killing people with the risk of decades of signboards being smashed."

Chen Xiaoer nodded, motioning for him to continue.

"Then Qing Hongcheng was attacked and killed..." After speaking, Jiang Chuan paused slightly, and said:
"Suppose that Fulai Auction House really wants to kill people and seize treasures."

"And the people who are going to be killed are the people from the 'Qingjue Palace', one of the best sects in Qingzhou."

"Although there are supporters behind the Fulai Auction House, they are not the opponents of 'Qing Jue Gong'."

"So, how could Fulai Auction House send someone who is easily recognizable? Was it the reception staff of the auction house at that time?"

"Assault and kill the young master of 'Qingjue Palace'!
It is impossible for them not to think about the possibility of failure. "

"That doesn't make sense!"

As he said that, Jiang Chuan frowned and said, "What really puzzles me is that it is in the dossier submitted by the Qingzhou prefect."

"I didn't write these doubts and inferences to testify."

"Even the Embroidered Clothes Censor did not reject the dossier, but archived it."

"It wasn't until you read the file, sir, that you took it out."

Glancing at Jiang Chuan, who was frowning and slightly dissatisfied, Chen Xiaoer looked up and looked not far away, and said:
"Then do you know why this is so?"

Jiang Chuan looked at Chen Xiaoer subconsciously, and said, "Could it be that they really did this on purpose?"

Chen Xiaoer didn't answer, but said:
"Obviously there are many doubts, and even the county magistrate of the yamen can see the flaws in the file at a glance."

"They still put it on."

"It's not that they are stupid, but that they don't care at all, and they don't bother to cover up anything."

"The prefect of Donglai County, Lin Yusheng, is the son of an elder in Bishuixianguan, a holy place for cultivating Taoism."

"The sect of the rivers and lakes..."

"There is no need to pay taxes to the court."

"Have your own martial arts army."

"Some great religious holy places, or top sects, even have an independent city, town, and enclose the land for themselves."

"They have become accustomed to using Jianghu's set of rules of conduct to replace Shengyang's laws."

"It's the same in this matter!"

"A sentence of vendetta in the Jianghu, the Jianghu is the affairs of the Jianghu, which completely cuts off the possibility of the imperial court intervening."

"Believe it or not, although it was solved on the surface."

"The case files have been filed, but in private, the most lively and sensational thing in the entire Shengyang Jianghu is now nothing more than this."

"They want to solve it in their own way!"

As he said that, Chen Xiaoer narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was one more sentence he didn't say in his heart.

"As for the reason why Xiuyi Yushi didn't reject it, it's even simpler. Because the evil sword code is in the Lu family!"

"The purpose of Qingjue Palace is also for this!"

"Using this as an entry point, I can logically move the entire rivers and lakes."

"...Let the whole rivers and lakes into chaos!"

"The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, the Qingjue Palace is the mantis, and the top sect of those holy places in the rivers and lakes is the oriole."

"But I don't want to, the imperial court is the hunter who feeds!"
