Chapter 117 Coal Mountain (for Subscription)

"That's it, Grandpa Niu, let's check if we want to intervene."

Zuo Dodge told the thigh what he had just heard, and waited for the reply from the thigh.

Grandpa Niu took a sharp puff from his pipe, and the smoke rose instantly, "Xiao Luzi, what do you mean?"

"I think, we need to investigate. Our Zaoyi Department is to monitor the officials. Since we think there is something wrong with it, then we have to investigate!" Zuo Dodge analyzed.

Grandpa Niu nodded, "Then check it out."

Zuo Daoqi's expression froze, but he knew that this guy would help him, so he brought Ji Lingshu to Zhao Xianzun's place.

"Zhao Xianzun, this hundred households are very interested in the cannibalism case of the coal mine demon, I wonder if I can read the file." He said while taking out the badge of the eunuch in soap clothes.

Quite unexpectedly, Zhao Xianzun agreed without any hesitation.

A few moments later, Zuo Daoqi and Ji Lingshu sat in front of the file, in front of them was the file of the cannibalism case of a coal mine monster in Kangping County 15 years ago.

The dossier is as follows:

In the first year of Yuanji, there were several continuous low mountains in the north of Kangping County. There were rich coal resources under these low mountains, which almost provided the coal supply for the whole city.

In the middle of the year, a large amount of coal mining began to prepare for the winter in Kyoto. Liu Wei, a coal merchant who was mining coal in the coal mountain, disappeared. A few days later, a corpse was found deep in the coal mine.

After that, the coal households disappeared one after another, including Liu Su, Wang Qian... and more than a hundred people.

On September [-]th, thousands of coal households dared not enter the mountain. Some eyewitnesses said that there was a snake demon eating people in the mine. The snake demon was about fifteen feet long and the water tank was thick and thin.

The solver: Zhao Shou, the magistrate of Kangping County, is indeed the cause of the monster, and the snake monster has been executed.

Evidence: Scale of Snake Demon (destroyed)
Zuo Dodge rubbed his chin, his eyes flashed. He had no interest in this kind of investigation. After all, a four to fifty meter big snake is a small elite level monster no matter what. This thing should provide a lot of experience.

Ji Lingshu looked serious. She pointed to the final conclusion of the dossier, "Uncle, there is something wrong with the dossier."

"Oh? What do you say?"

Ji Lingshu's face was calm, with doubts in his eyes, "Snake monsters eat, how can they leave wreckage?"

Hearing this, Zuo Dodge also came to his senses. He looked at Ji Lingshu, "You mean, the snake demon left the wreckage on purpose?"

Ji Lingshu picked up the thick file and turned to the page of the victim, on which a picture of the scene was scribbled, "Look at the three palms here."

Left Dodge looked at the picture.

"It is recorded in the file that the snake demon is fifteen feet long. According to the records of some specific types of monsters, it should be a seventh-rank monster or a sixth-rank monster. Monsters of this level have the ability to transform." Ji Lingshu continued.

Zuo Daoqi couldn't help nodding his head, this little girl can do it, she reasoned twice, she's almost as good as that kid Conan.

"So, this is most likely not a monster, but a beast! A beast that cannot transform!"

"Of course, it doesn't rule out that this monster has a special bloodline and harbors some kind of secret, or that it is a monster raised by humans."

"Actually, I prefer the latter."

Zuo Daoqi clapped his hands and praised, "It makes sense, I'll go find Grandpa Niu right away, and let's go kill the demon."

He could almost hear what Ji Lingshu meant. She speculated that the snake demon was raised by humans, but...whether it was raised by humans has anything to do with him slaying demons and Zuo Baihu?
He just wanted to gain experience in slaying demons and eliminating demons, so what's wrong with him.

As for Ji Lingshu's reasoning, it's really exciting, but he's a wall guy. As long as he kills the snake demon, he can know the person behind the snake demon, so there's no need for such troublesome reasoning.

Walking out of the library of Kangping county documents, three men in police uniforms were waiting at the door. They were similar to the uniforms of the yamen in Kyoto. They were all dark-colored and had a majestic beast on their sleeves. They should be representatives of the Legalists. Bi An is a beast that can distinguish right from wrong.

The three of them are warriors, Zuo Daoqi checked with his divine sense, one in the inner breath state and two in the power state, it's not bad.

This is also the combat power level of most county government offices.

The head of the policeman looked at Zuo Dodge with some searching eyes, and then said, "Liu Feng, the lowly post, I have seen Zuo Baihu, and I have prepared the horses, let's set off as soon as possible."

horse riding?

Zuo Dodge refused, "No need, let's drive there, some people on the way can explain the case to us."

Liu Feng nodded and agreed. After all, Zuo Daoqi was a member of a hundred households, and his rank was the same as that of the county magistrate. What's more, he was a member of the palace. The local officials would inevitably respect him when they saw him.

The carriage of Xie's car dealership had been parked by the side of the road, and the eight Xiaoji brothers were already waiting. Zuo Daoqi helped Grandpa Niu into the carriage, and Ji Lingshu jumped up by himself.

Due to the limited capacity of the carriage, the eight Xiaoji brothers, the little donkey, and the little cloth all stayed in the Kangping county government office.

Everyone in the carriage sat down one by one, and there was a clear distinction between them. Grandpa Niu sat in the innermost place, with a small slump, Daoqi on the left sat next to Grandpa Niu, and Ji Lingshu was on his right.

On the opposite side are the three catchers of the Kangping County Government.

Zuo Dodge coughed, and then he said, "The counselor and I read the file just now, but the content is a bit crude, and some details need your cooperation."

"Sir, please speak."

Zuo Daoqi winked at Ji Lingshu, and Ji Lingshu asked, "Butou Liu was the one who personally experienced the snake demon cannibalism case 15 years ago. Was the snake demon really dead at that time?"

Hesitation appeared in Liu Feng's eyes, and he said after a long time, "At that time, Xianzun Zhao had just taken office, and he heard that there was a snake demon haunting him, so he decided to go to subdue the demon himself. According to what the people said at the time, the snake demon was burned to death by Master Zhao. of."

Ji Lingshu narrowed his eyes slightly, "Did Liu Butou witness the snake demon's death?"

There was a wry smile on Liu Feng's face, "The humble official just joined the county government in the past, and his cultivation base was also just entered. The snake demon fought fiercely with Mr. Zhao, far away from the mine, and finally killed the snake demon in a valley. There were only ten witnesses. The rest of the people."

A look of thought appeared in Ji Lingshu's eyes.

It was Zuo Dodge who took the conversation and asked, "Have you seen that snake demon?"

Liu Feng nodded, "As recorded in the file, it is more than fifteen feet long, as thick as a water tank, and has shiny black scales all over the body."

Zuo Dodge frowned gradually, and looked at Eunuch Niu beside him.

Eunuch Niu seemed to be aware of the inquiry in his eyes, chuckled, twisted his orchid fingers and said, "Little demon ear, our family can be destroyed with a single palm."

So Zuo Dodge felt relieved.

"Is the case this time the same as when the snake demon ate people?"

Liu Feng nodded, "It's roughly the same, whether it's in the details or in some other clues, it's pretty much the same."

"Our county relies on coal mining for a living, so every household will store coal at home, but this winter has been extremely cold. There are rumors that because of the disaster in the north, the imperial court may send people to transport coal to the disaster relief, so some coal households go to the mountains to mine coal."

Tuk Tuk Tuk…

Kangshan is not far from Kangping County, about ten miles away. There are many large and small tents at the foot of the mountain, and a lot of daily sundries are placed in a mess. This is the place where coal households stay at night.

Zuo Daoqi stood on a low mountain. The mountain of Kangshan is not high. Kangshan is also called by the people of Kangping County. People in the capital prefer to call it Meishan, which is quite derogatory.

Liu Feng took out a map from his purse, "Hundreds of households, please take a look, this is the map of the various coal mines and villages in Kangshan."

Zuo Dodge took the map and slowly unfolded it.
