The rebirth of the evil woman is not easy to mess with

Chapter 979 Move into Zhizhou Mansion!
the next day.

Jin Xiangyu stayed in the inn to study the soul control formation, while Li Qingmu and Qi Jingyu continued to go out to investigate.

Finally, last night, the wait was not in vain, a few puppets were caught, and at the same time, they also figured out the reason behind the frequent disappearances of people in Linzhou City.

But this matter is only the tip of the iceberg. A few puppets who can't speak and have no independent thinking can't help them find out who is behind the scenes.

Therefore, if you want to find more clues, you must know where these puppets came from.

In fact, the method is not difficult, that is to be deliberately captured by them, and then attack Huanglong directly when they are in the opponent's lair.

However, considering that the opponent's sorcery is more dangerous, Li Qingmu is not going to let Qi Jingyu participate.

It's okay to help find clues during the day, but you can't take him with you when you act at night.

Qi Jingyu didn't have any objection to this either, he was more afraid of that kind of idiot-like puppets, after all, he was also the king of a country, if he was caught and turned into a puppet, the world would really be in chaos.

People in Linzhou were in a panic, and no one wanted to talk to strangers, so they had to go to the yamen to find a way.

The gate of Linzhou city yamen was closed tightly, not only was there no yamen servant inside, even Zhizhou disappeared without a trace.

Fortunately, it was not difficult to inquire about Zhizhou's residence, but when the two of them arrived, they learned that Master Zhizhou had already left Linzhou City with his family members yesterday.

This behavior of running away made Qi Jingyu very angry, and he was going to go back to find that guy to settle.

Fortunately, they didn't get nothing, Zhizhou's mansion left an old housekeeper to guard the house.

The old butler, surnamed Guan, is over 60 years old, and his legs are still a little disabled. He dared to walk around during the day, and hid in the cellar at night.

Lao Guan was quite a talkative person, so he took Li Qingmu and Qi Jingyu around the Zhizhou master's house, and Li Qingmu suddenly felt that it was not bad here, but there was no one to cook, otherwise he would move here from the inn.

This old man who knows the state knows how to enjoy himself. There are all kinds of pavilions, pavilions, rockery and flowing water. There is also a large garden. There must be many servants in the house.

It's just that the building is empty at the moment, and if you move in, you have to cook for yourself.

"Old Guan, the disappearance incident in Linzhou City has caused a lot of noise. Why didn't Master Zhizhou send someone to investigate?"

It stands to reason that in a dignified state, at least 1 to [-] troops must be stationed. Could it be that they can't even catch a few puppets?
This seems a little unreasonable.

As long as something is done, the common people will not be afraid to move out with their families.

Lao Guan sighed and said, "Our Master Zhizhou, it's hard to describe, he is naturally timid and fearful."

"Most of the soldiers stationed here were transferred from Hezhou. There was a plague in Hezhou just now, and many people were killed or injured. Those soldiers were worried about their parents, so they asked for leave to visit their hometowns. Most of them never returned."

"Plus that the monster catches people, people are not alive and dead, everyone is very scared, and many people have moved away, so the master is even less interested in investigating the case."

"This king is so old, he deserves to die!" Qi Jingyu clenched his fists angrily, the civil and military courts in the court don't know how many such wine bags and rice bags are there, and the court salary is free, but they can't tell the truth.

It seems that it is necessary to reorganize the imperial examinations and select more useful young talents.

At this time, Lao Guan didn't know the identities of the two of them. Seeing Qi Jingyu's indignant curses, Li Qingmu was frowning and thinking, and asked curiously: "My lords, are you from the capital?"

Li Qingmu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "That's right, we were sent by the imperial court to investigate the disappearance case."

"Oh, my little old man can't see Mount Tai, two adults, the people of Linzhou City can count on you!"

"Don't worry, old man, we've got some clues about the disappearance case here, I believe we can return you a bright blue sky in a few days!"

Qi Jingyu's private visit this time was deeply touched. First, there were gentry and bullies annexing the land, and then there were chaos in the world. Now, as the states and counties go down, it seems that every place is not very peaceful.

All kinds of problems emerged one after another.

Fortunately, Uncle Huang helped solve the problem along the way, otherwise, if he was all troubled, he might have another headache for many days.

Li Qingmu walked around Wang Zhizhou's mansion, and felt that it was better here. The owner of the inn he stayed in was too cautious, and he had to be wary of him in everything he did.

So after a little discussion with Qi Jingyu, he decided to move here.

Fortunately, they didn't have any carry-on luggage, they just needed to send someone to inform Jin Xiangyu, and bring those puppets and masks over to continue the research.

There were only three or two people in the huge magistrate's mansion, which seemed very deserted, so Li Qingmu brought all the people from Yulongtai over, and handed over chores like cooking to them.

Yan Luo was not dissatisfied with this, and was even very happy to see that there was still a lot of food in the kitchen.

You must know that there is not much to eat in the inn outside. Every day it is either scallion pancakes or Yangchun noodles.

Without the people who sell vegetables and meat, even if they have money, they have no place to spend it.

On the contrary, the kitchen in this house has a wide variety of dishes, and even cured bacon, which greatly solves everyone's food problem.

Lao Guan has no objection to this, since he is a high-ranking official sent by the capital, it's nothing to stay at the mansion for food and lodging, anyway, he doesn't like the timid Master Zhizhou.

With popularity in the house, there will naturally be a lot of chaos.

Seeing that the fish raised in the garden pond were very plump, a few people went to cut some bamboos, and then sat in the gazebo to fish, and caught a lot of those beautiful goldfish raised by Mrs. Zhizhou.

Yan Luo set up a large pot next to him, scraped the scales of the fish he caught, cut open his stomach, stewed the fish in the big pot, and pasted more than a dozen flour pancakes on the side of the pan, and when the fish was cooked, the pancakes were golden brown. delicious.

Li Qingmu hadn't eaten a decent meal for several days. He was very satisfied for a while after eating noodle pancakes and stewed fish, and praised Yan Luo for his improvement in craftsmanship.

The daytime passed quickly, and the people who lived in the mansion were all masters of Yulongtai, so they didn't need to care about a few puppets.

However, in order to find the lairs of those puppets faster, Li Qingmu still ordered the two to form a group and wander around Linzhou City, pretending to be ordinary people as much as possible, and being caught by those puppets.

Li Qingmu was also among them. Walking on the empty streets, he clearly felt that Linzhou City seemed to have changed at night.

Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long, four puppets appeared at midnight, jumped down from the roof, and put a black sack on his head.

He directly pretended to faint. These puppets' brains are not very good. Seeing that he fainted and did not resist, the two of them lifted him on their shoulders and ran quickly in one direction.

After about half an hour in the darkness, the two puppets carrying him finally stopped, threw him on the ground and there was no movement, Li Qingmu quietly cut out two holes in the black sack, and checked the situation outside .
