The Legend of Immortal Court

Chapter 389
Canling, Dingfu.

"There are really many missing people recently?"

Su Ting's eyes flickered, and he said, "Have you checked it?"

Ding Ye nodded and said: "Some time ago, there were more than ten reports in a row, all of which were missing people. I realized that the situation was serious, so I ordered the yamen guards to patrol strictly and put up notices to let the people take precautions. In addition, I collected nearly half a year. In addition to the disappearance case file, people are also sent to investigate strictly, after all, some people are missing, but they may not report to the police.”

Su Ting nodded slightly. After all, there are many people who live alone. Besides, some people disappeared. The people around him may not report the crime, but they will feel happy.

"Have you counted all the people who have disappeared in Kanling recently?"

"It's all registered, and there should be no omissions." Ding Ye said this, and then said hurriedly: "Mr.

"very good."

Su Ting took a sip of tea, his expression slightly dignified.

There was a strange idea in his mind.

Ding Ye ordered his servants to bring the files, but he stayed here by himself to accompany the distinguished guest Su Ting.

-

"Mr. Su came to Kanling, can you go back to Su's house first?" Ding Ye asked with a smile as if thinking of something.

"I'm from Luoyue County. Although I'm from the Su family, I'm far away. I'm not from the Kanling Su family. Naturally, I can't talk about returning home." Hearing this, Su Ting frowned slightly, and said, "I'm here this time. There is no plan to go to Su's house."

"This..." Ding Ye was slightly taken aback, then remembered something, and said with a wry smile: "Ding is an ordinary person, but he has a bad idea."

In fact, he naturally knew Su Ting's origin. Although they were of the same family as the Kanling Su family, they were actually strangers for a long time. But in his impression, Su Ting had lived in the Su family, so he had a preconceived idea.

Moreover, it would not be easy for a behemoth like the Kanlingsu family to get involved.

In this steep land, the Su family has been rooted for hundreds of years, and their roots are so deep that even the government has not despised it.

Ding Ye had to deal with some matters before, which involved the interests of the Su family, so he went to inform him.

It must be known that the Su family is not only a well-known family in Kanling, but also that the members of the Su family have studied and become officials, have been officials in the court, and some have practiced martial arts and joined the army, and have been in business.

In addition, they are often married to famous families. The daughter of the servant of the household department, the daughter of the minister of rites, and the niece of the county magistrate in Gu County all married into the Kanlingsu family... Even in the capital, the real power There are several officials, who are the sons-in-law of the Su family.

For ordinary people, it is an honor to be involved with the Su family.

But this Mr. Su is not an ordinary person.

On the contrary, the old Patriarch of the Su Clan misses Mr. Su very much, and seems to see the backing of the Su Clan's rise from Mr. Su.

When I went to Su's house earlier and mentioned this matter, the old Patriarch of Su's family regretted not being able to keep Su Ting in time.

After all, for ordinary people like them, this is a living god.

According to Ding Ye's thinking, the Su family in Kanling is so powerful that no one would underestimate it, but after hearing Su Ting's words, he knew that the vision of such immortals had already surpassed ordinary people's thinking.

"also……"

Su Ting seemed to be about to say something, but suddenly paused, looked outside, and said, "The file has been delivered."

Ding Ye was quite astonished, he looked outside, but saw no one.

Su Ting said indifferently: "He's in the alley at the corner of the street three hundred steps in front of Ding's house, and he's about to arrive."

Ding Ye was shocked suddenly, his expression was full of shock.

Far apart, courtyard walls and streets, people coming and going, but you can detect the servants you have only seen once before?

In the past, he only knew that Su Ting was a man among gods, extremely extraordinary, with strange and unpredictable methods.

But now, he has a clear understanding of the means of this immortal man, and he is more and more respectful.

Such astonishing five senses, it seems that in the legend, the great masters who have reached the top of martial arts are far inferior.

"arrive."

Su Ting sat here, drinking tea leisurely.

Sure enough, not long after, I saw a servant coming in a hurry, holding a file.

Seeing this, Ding Ye's eyes grew more awed.

"grown ups."

This person presented the dossier.

Ding Ye reached out to take it, waved and said, "Go down."

This person nodded slightly, and then backed away.

Ding Ye sent the file to Su Ting with both hands.

Su Ting did not lose his courtesy, took it with both hands, and opened it.

Ding Ye suddenly noticed that Mr. Su's face became uglier as he flipped through the pages.

"More than thirty people are missing?"

Su Ting frowned and said, "Twelve are ordinary people, and the remaining nearly 20 are monks and Taoists?"

Ding Ye nodded and said: "That's right. Among the twelve people, four are widowed and lonely old people, three are woodcutters, and five are fishermen. And among the twenty Taoist priests and monks, half of them practiced asceticism alone. The rest of the dozen or so people lived in the same house in twos and threes, but they also disappeared together."

As he said that, Ding Ye said: "There are not many people who reported the case. I ordered someone to investigate and found out about these things."

Su Ting's eyes flickered, and he frowned slightly, thinking secretly.

The number of dead bones under the dead tree that day was slightly different from that of the missing person, but the difference was not too big.

But there are many monks and priests missing among them, and all of them are ordinary Taoist monks?

If some of them are embodying Taoism, then things are different.

And those fishermen and woodcutters, widows and old people, could they be some reclusive high-ranking hermits?
"Are there any records about these people's origins, past deeds, etc.?"

"Family background, history, I have written down, but there is nothing about the past, do I need Ding to order someone to investigate?"

"No need."

Su Ting waved slightly and said, "Do you know Si Tianjian?"

Hearing this, Ding Ye nodded and said: "Sitianjian is a place that the imperial court relies heavily on. It observes the sky from above and measures the terrain from below. It can push the fate of the country and distinguish good and bad. It is rumored that there are capable people and strangers in it. They have the ability to capture tigers and leopards and arrest ghosts and gods." .”

After a pause, Ding Ye said: "Back when Mr. Su was still in Kanling, there was a Taoist who claimed to be the Sitian Supervisor and came to find out that I had heard about you."

Su Ting nodded and said: "This person's name is Huan Yunji, and he is one of my nephews."

Hearing this, Ding Ye respected him more and more, and felt that it was a wise move to defend Su Ting in front of that Taoist at that time... It turned out that the Taoist was still Mr. Su's nephew, and his seniority was even lower.

"The Sitian Supervisor in the capital city frightens the people who practiced in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there are also branches in various places."

Su Ting asked: "Do you know which Taoist temple, or temple, or temple here belongs to the branch of Sitianjian?"

Ding Ye frowned slightly, and said in thought: "I've never heard of the land of Kanling, but the surrounding counties of Kanling belong to Liang'an Mansion, and the center of Liang'an Mansion is in Yao County... If it's right, it should be there. "

Su Ting pondered for a while, and said, "Have you reported these cases?"

Ding Ye nodded and said, "At first I thought about it and it affected my career, but when I realized that the situation was too serious, I reported it."

Su Ting asked: "Recently, have any outsiders, such as monks and priests, come to Kanling to ask you about this?"

Ding Ye shook his head slightly, and said: "There are quite a few outsiders in Kanling, but no outsider has asked me about this matter."

Su Ting frowned, and said: "I see, you settle down for now, I will investigate this matter myself."

Ding Ye was overjoyed when he heard the words, stood up, and saluted: "Ding, on behalf of the common people in Kanling, thank you Mr. Su for his kindness."

Su Ting waved his hand, and a gust of wind supported him, before he said: "Okay, Su also has selfish intentions in this matter, so I don't accept your great gift."
