Saint of the Confucian way

Fang Yun issued a governor's order, and the criminal secretary and the state yamen took action immediately.

In this kind of homicide, only officials can be sent out, but this time, a scholar of Legalists and three strategists, as well as more than a dozen scholars and children, are sent out. This team is comparable to a thousand people's army.

Early the next morning, the investigation results of the case of killing the family by Constable sun of Zhengde county formed a document and put it on Fang Yun's desk.

After Fang Yun arrived in the study, he picked up the official document and read it quickly. He understood the context.

This is a revenge incident by a spirit beast dealer.

The richest group of Terrans is scholars. As long as they are children, they can't starve to death. They can make a living with their eyes closed.

As long as you are a scholar, you will have the opportunity to accumulate a lot of possessions and become a rich man in a township.

If you raise people and operate properly, you can have a wealth and become a well-known figure in a county. Before death, talent is sealed into a cultural treasure. Wealth is enough for generations to enjoy.

As for a scholar's degree or higher, even if you don't run your family business, you can't spend all your money.

Few scholars who are not officials commit crimes purely for money, while scholars who are officials do not commit crimes for money.

However, ordinary people without literary positions are different. Many people are desperate for money.

There are many industries where Terrans make huge profits. One of them is to capture spirit beasts. A spirit beast is less than 1000 liang of silver, which is comparable to the income of ordinary people for decades.

The highest price record of a spirit beast was set by a spirit tiger. It sold at a high price of 150000 Liang, which is almost comparable to a Jinshi Wenbao.

Spirit beast is a kind of beast between beast and demon man. It has high intelligence, such as Fang Yun's slave and Li Fanming's big rabbit.

Spirit beasts are very rare. As few as 90% of people can't see a spirit beast in their life.

As early as hundreds of years ago, semi Saint Zhang Zhongjing found that the spirit beast can purify the demon world breath harmful to the human race and convert it into heaven and earth vitality. Moreover, the spirit beast can absorb heaven and earth vitality and increase the concentration of heaven and earth vitality near the spirit beast nest.

The five demon mountain is connected with the demon world, and there is a constant penetration of the demon world atmosphere. Scholars of Jinshi or higher level are not affected, but low level scholars or ordinary people will go crazy if they stay in the demon world atmosphere for a long time.

The saints will certainly dissolve the demon world breath near the five demon mountain every few years, but at other times, there will be the demon world breath scattered around the five demon mountain. The Terran can't solve these small amounts of demon world breath, so they can only rely on spirit beasts.

The holy courtyard issued a decree a long time ago to prohibit the capture of wild spirit beasts, but it did not prohibit spirit * * Yi, mainly because most holy families keep spirit beasts.

Even if the holy court issued a decree, it could not stop those who wanted to absorb more vitality of heaven and earth. Therefore, there were spirit animal traffickers who specialized in capturing and selling spirit animals.

Later, the Terrans found that the meat of the spirit beast was not only delicious, but also could prolong life and strengthen the body after eating. In addition, the fur of the spirit beast was very beautiful, so more and more people hunted the spirit beast.

Spirit beasts are rare. After hundreds of years of capture, spirit beasts in many places are on the verge of extinction.

Wuyao mountain is blessed with unique environment and many spirit beasts. So far, it is not on the verge of extinction. Therefore, the five demon mountains in Shengyuan continent have become places for spirit beast traffickers to hunt spirit beasts.

Just over 80 years ago, after research, the medical hall issued a warning to the countries near the five demon mountain. Due to the continuous reduction of spirit beasts and the increase of the escaping breath of the demon world, the human race near the five demon mountain will be affected and even harm future generations.

As a last resort, Terran countries have increased the punishment for hunting spirit beasts, and the maximum sentence is death.

However, due to the long-term influence of the demon world atmosphere on the spirit animal dealers, and the high price of spirit animals, as long as they catch more than a dozen, they can be rich for a lifetime. Many spirit animal dealers still hunt spirit animals regardless of the ban, and it is often difficult to stop even if they earn enough money for a lifetime.

In order to catch those spirit animal traffickers, the Yamen of the government near the five demon mountain has special captors.

Zhengde county is within the scope of moyao mountain, where there are far more spirit animal dealers than other places.

Constable sun, who was killed, was one of the members who arrested the spirit beast traffickers.

In order to arrest the spirit beast traffickers, Constable sun pretended to be a spirit beast merchant and entered the spirit beast traffickers, sending back a steady stream of news. The day before yesterday, Constable sun met a distant relative in a remote town. The distant relative greeted him. He didn't reply. He said that the other party recognized the wrong person and left in a hurry, but he was seen by other spirit animal traffickers and his identity was exposed.

That night, Constable sun was mutilated by a spirit beast dealer, and 14 members of the sun family were killed.

The legalist scholar who went to investigate was very good. He linked all the details and came to the correct conclusion.

Unfortunately, those spirit animal traffickers who fled into the mountains overnight must have fled Zhengde County, and may even escape Jingguo and enter Qiguo or Qingguo. Even the legalist Jinshi cannot be traced. At least the legalist Confucianism can find the traces of those people, but they may not be able to catch them. After all, the spirit animal traffickers have rich escape experience.

Not long after, Dong Wencong entered the governor's house and came to Fang Yun's study.

Without greeting, Dong Wencong opened the door and said, "governor, can you finish reading the official documents of the criminal secretary?"

Fang Yun nodded gently.

Dong Wencong said tentatively, "if you want to prepare for the Shihan ancient land, please leave this matter to the lower officials. This matter involves a lot and may take a long time to solve."

Fang Yun smiled calmly and said, "Wencong, your nose knows what I care about and don't care about better than Turin and anyone else. I want to solve this matter as soon as possible."

Dong Wencong smiled and said, "you are eager for justice. When you encounter this kind of thing, you will certainly find ways to find out the truth, so that the souls of fifteen members of the sun family can be comforted."

"Then why are you here?" Fang Yun asked.

Dong Wencong paused for a few seconds, as if thinking about the wording, and then said: "Spirit animal trafficking is already a huge business in the Terran. The annual transaction is roughly estimated to be no less than ten million liang of silver. Many famous families and even rich families participate in it. Of course, they will not catch it in person, but they will be responsible for selling the stolen goods. All cases involving spirit animal traffickers will fall into passivity if there are problems anywhere unless the government has hard evidence."

"I know that," Fang Yun said.

Dong Wencong continued: "Spirit animal traffickers have been eroded by the demon world all year round. They have become crazy and inhuman, but they are not stupid, so they have various means to escape pursuit and arrest. They are familiar with modemon mountain, buy people everywhere with money, and even get the protection of some large families. Catching an experienced spirit animal trafficker may require mobilizing hundreds of captors to cast a net, which will take several years to complete This means that if you want to arrest all the spirit animal dealers in moyao mountain in Xiangzhou, not only the captors of Xiangzhou, but even the panoramic country, are not enough.
