Daxianguan

Chapter 264
The old county magistrate smiled: "That's just my hobby. When I was an official, my salary would buy good tea. At that time, I would rather not eat, but drink good tea."

After speaking, seeing Chu Xian and looking at him again, the old county magistrate smiled wryly: "Forget it, I know I can't hide this matter."

Afterwards, the old county magistrate told Chu Xian a story.

A story that happened 100 years ago.

Three foreigners came to Yaoguang County to ask for a living. These three people had high martial arts skills, capital, and means, so they quickly opened up the situation and became rich families within a few years.

There is a saying that is good, when you are poor, you are brothers, but when you are rich, you are life and death enemies.

Originally, there were three brothers who came out to work hard in the world, but after they became prosperous, they turned against each other because of some contradictions, and finally reached the point where they were in the same situation.

The three fought each other, but two of them were smart and knew that it would not be a long-term thing to fight like this, and they would lose all three, so they thought of a way.

Chu Xian said at this time: "Unite one person and suppress the other."

"The magistrate is unparalleled in strategy. Yes, there are two people. They conspired to join forces to deal with another person." The old county magistrate's expression fell into memory, as if he remembered something bad, his face was a little ugly, and he was a little scared.

"It's just that those two people have gone too far, or maybe they know that it's fine if they don't do anything. Once they do, they must be ruthless. So they not only killed that person, but also killed that person's family and grandchildren. Counting life and death is tantamount to ruining the family."

The old county magistrate spoke slowly, and what Chu Xian heard was frowning.

Such methods are indeed brutal.

"At that time, I was the county magistrate, and I was in charge of investigating the massacre of that family. After going through twists and turns, I finally found out the culprit. I also brought the two masterminds to justice and beheaded them in public. But the dead could not be brought back to life, so at this time It's still fresh in my memory." When the old county magistrate said this, Chu Xian had already guessed the general idea.

"The people who conspired between the two families are the ancestors of the Lu family and the Yao family?" Chu Xian asked.

The old magistrate nodded.

Chu Xian knew that the key to the problem now was the exterminated family. If there were no accidents, it should be related to the extermination case of the Lu and Yao families that happened now.

Or even cause and effect.

The old county magistrate looked around at this time, as if he was worried that someone might be watching, and after a while, he said in a very small voice: "Later, many years have passed, and one day I fell asleep while looking through files in the county government office. When I woke up, it was already dark, and there was a person standing opposite the desk. You must know that the outer door of my study is guarded by yamen guards, and ordinary people cannot enter at all."

Chu Xian didn't speak, but listened quietly.

"At that time, I was very surprised, but not very scared. If the other party was a killer, he could kill me while I was asleep, but he didn't, but waited for me to wake up. In addition, I saw that he was wearing an official uniform of the underworld. "The old county magistrate said here, and Chu Xian said: "Is it a Yin official?"

"That's right, it looks like it should be the first level of the underworld arrester, and the other party's ability is not bad. When he saw that I did it, he saluted and thanked me. At that time, I asked who he was and why he thanked me? He said that he and his family I was killed by thieves, thanks to my impartial law enforcement and exhausted efforts, I finally found out the truth, brought the real culprits to justice, and avenged them. The underworld arrester will leave after Xie. I asked his name, he Say, his surname is Lian!"

"Coincidentally, the family that was exterminated by the Lu family and the Yao family before was the Lian family. In addition, after I asked someone to inquire about it, the Yin official catcher I saw that night was exactly the same as the ancestor of the Lian family. Who would have thought that The head of the Lian family who was murdered by the Lu family and the Yao family turned out to be a yin official after his death, if the Lu family and the Yao family knew about it, they might not even be able to sleep well."

At this time, Chu Xian thought for a while and said: "100 years ago, it was the underworld to catch the head. For such a long time, as long as there are some means, it is possible to sit on the parade or even the position of the judge. If so, then use ghost skills It is easy to kill so many people."

The old county magistrate naturally knew what Chu Xian meant, so he shook his head and said, "No, definitely not, there are rules in the underworld, and the laws are even stricter, even if it is a casual cultivator in the underworld, it may not Dare to come to the world to do such a thing, let alone a yin official? They dare not."

Chu Xian smiled: "Fan Chengshui is also an official of the Holy Dynasty, but which of the things he did did not violate the laws of the Holy Dynasty?"

This time, the old county magistrate's expression froze and he was speechless.

"No matter what, this time I want to thank you, old county magistrate." Chu Xian knew that the other party had already told everything he knew, which was already of great help to him.

Seeing that Chu Xian was about to leave, the old county magistrate hurriedly called to stop Chu Xian, and then went to pick up a few things himself, which were a pile of documents.

"My lord, because the yin official came to thank me back then, when I was about to leave, I looked into his eyes with a kind of hatred, and I knew that this matter might not end, so I specially sent the file of that case I kept it. I thought that after such a long time, nothing would happen again, but I didn't expect that something happened. The ancestors of the Lu family and the Yao family were beheaded by me. Their clansmen separated and lived separately. I didn't expect this time The whole clan was still wiped out!"

Speaking of this, the old county magistrate sighed endlessly, Chu Xian took the file, got up and said: "Some people can smile away their grievances, and some people have grudges for thousands of years, there is no way."

The old county magistrate sent him out, but Chu Xian asked him to stay and leave alone.

There are already clues to what happened now. A hundred years ago, the ancestor of the Lian family who was wiped out by Lu and Yao's family is very likely to be the real culprit of this murder.

Motivated, capable, almost everything that can be occupied, and the evil ghost that Chu Xian met before was not like a lonely ghost, but an evil ghost with orthodox ghost cultivation methods. Ordinary people can drive?

If it is the Yin official of the underworld, it would be too easy. As an official, who doesn't have a few reliable subordinates?

Now that there are clues, Chu Xian will continue to investigate, no matter whether it is the Yin official surnamed Lian or not, he must investigate.But at this moment, a secret order was passed to Chu Xian. It was a purple paper crane, which fell from the sky at an extremely fast speed and landed in front of Chu Xian.

Chu Xian knew that this was the technique of paper cranes that could only be used by the top officials of the Holy Dynasty, and it was extremely confidential. Only the corresponding official talisman could be opened, so Chu Xian didn't dare to neglect it.

After reading it, Chu Xian frowned, pondered for a moment, and then called several officials and the brothers and sisters of the Luo family that he had brought.

"I have something urgent to go back to the city, and I can come back tomorrow at the most. You continue to investigate the case and make no mistakes." After Chu Xian explained, he went out of the city alone, and then used the crow's wind change outside to become a black feather The crow flew up and quickly flew towards Yunlong City.

Chu Xian was in such a hurry that there was nothing he could do. The secret order he got was written by a big man, and it was an extremely urgent matter that must not be delayed.

Not only urgent, but also confidential.

Fortunately, Chu Xian learned the art of transformation and was able to fly, otherwise he would not be able to go back in a while.

From Yaoguang County to Yunlong City, it only took Chu Xian half an hour to fly there. This time, Chu Xian landed directly in the city mansion, and then walked quickly to his study.

At the door of the study, stood a guard dressed in flowing cloud black chess brocade clothes and holding a four-foot golden sword.

Chu Xian just glanced at it, and knew that this guard was extremely strong, he should be the peak martial arts master, and he was probably only one step away from the martial arts saint.

Or, half a step.

Such a strong man is actually just a guard.

Chu Xian straightened his clothes at this time, and then stepped forward: "Chu Xian, Commander of Yunlong City, please see your lord."

The guard was unmoved, but a voice came from the study: "Come in."

The guard took a step aside, Chu Xian took a deep breath, and walked in.

A person inside is flipping through the files on the desk, and you can see that Chu Xian's desk is full of various files and files. Chu Xian's administration, every detail, has to go through his eyes, even though it's just a little Yunlong City, but there are many counties, and government affairs are not lacking at all.

When Chu Xian saw the people in the room, he immediately bowed and saluted: "Chu Xian met Mr. Zhongshu!"

The person in the study was tall and straight, with a kind of elegance, and said at this moment: "I have heard Cui Huanzhi talk about you a long time ago, yes, you are so diligent and decisive in handling affairs, you are indeed an official."

Obviously, this Lord Zhongshu is the third grade Zhongshu Ling of the Holy Dynasty, Taoist Xiao Yu.

Why did Master Zhongshu come to this small Yunlong City?Chu Xian knew the reason, it was because of a playbook he wrote before.

About Su Lan Holy Land.

Chu Xian knew that it was impossible for the Holy Dynasty not to pay attention to this matter. At the beginning, there was no movement, like a stone sinking into the sea, but now, Chu Xian knew that it was not that he didn't pay attention, but that the upper management must have played a game, and the result was good. Xiao Zhong The book came, which showed that Xiao Zhongshu's department had the upper hand.

Speaking of which, Chu Xian is also considered to be on Xiao Yu's side. If his official position was too low in the past, Xiao Yu probably wouldn't even remember him as such a person.But now, although the official position has been promoted a lot, it is only a sixth rank, and it can barely attract Xiao Yu's attention.

But this time, Chu Xian can definitely occupy a major position on Xiao Yu's side.

Because of the things in Sulan Holy Land.

Xiao Yu came this time for the sake of the Sulan Holy Land, so this third-rank Zhongshu Ling didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "I read the memorial you wrote, and what is said in it is the truth?"

Chu Xian nodded: "Master Zhongshu, Chu Xian will never dare to make up this matter."

"Okay, take me there."

"Yes."

Following Xiao Yu out, Xiao Yu stretched out his hand, and Chu Xian immediately felt the wind spell being blessed all over his body, but this wind spell was different from ordinary wind spells. Ordinary wind spells could only make people walk like the wind, but Xiao Yu's Wind curse, it can directly roll up people, and then fly in the air.

That speed was much faster than Chu Xian's Black Wind Transformation.
