The System Forces Me to Be the Emperor

Xiao Rui felt familiar when he heard about the fourth day of April, as if he had seen it somewhere, but after thinking about it, he had no clue. He didn't expect to get a clue from the Sun family.

"My lord, the fourth day of April is the birthday of the black lotus saint. My husband will leave Songyang County to participate in the pilgrimage on this day every year. Unfortunately, the court listed the black lotus religion as a rebel last year, so I didn't dare to go this year." Sun Shi hesitated, considering that his husband had died tragically, he did not hide it.

After Xiao Rui heard this, he suddenly reacted: "The birthday of the Black Lotus Sage? No wonder, no wonder, I feel familiar with it, it turns out that the root is here!"

Guo Jia arrived in Kyoto late, so he didn't know about the Black Lotus Sect and the Black Lotus Sage, but he also knew that the Black Lotus Sect was related to Xiao Heding, the rebel night king of the year, and had been encircled by his majesty.

Xiao Rui's thoughts sank. The three deceased were related to the Black Lotus Sect. Could it be that the murderer was the Black Lotus Sect?

Think of Master Yao, the first deceased. The unknown mystery of his wealth comes from the Black Lotus Sect?

I remember what the Night King had to do, when he was ordained to become a monk, and his name was true, so he no longer asked about the Black Lotus Sect, and he was no longer a saint. Everything in the Black Lotus Sect was handled by another saint. When the black lotus cult in Kyoto was uprooted last year, many people were arrested, but the biggest boss, the mysterious saint, had no traces. He only knew that he was a woman, and his appearance and age were unknown.

"It's more interesting now."

Not only did Xiao Rui not find it difficult, but even more exciting. He peeled off its mysterious coat one after another, and saw the truth inside it was the outstanding ability of a detective!

Next, the four asked Sun's other details, but unfortunately they left the drugstore and returned to the county government without any other clues.

At this time, the setting sun went down and the night slowly fell.

Wu Biao ordered someone to prepare a good meal and asked respectfully: "Master Fa, I don't know what clues can be traced?"

Fahai shook his head and sighed: "There is no progress. As Mr. Wu said, these three murders were weird and terrifying, and there were so many eyewitnesses who proved to be evil spirits. Hey... But this cannot be used as evidence for the conclusion of the case. !"

"Yeah! Fa master said it is extremely true! All the lower officials are suffering, and they have not been sent to the palace. If they are known by the prefect, they still don't know how to scold the lower officials for being incompetent and push the murder case on the evil spirits." Wu Biao seemed to have found his soulmate, and said quickly: "Fortunately, my lord is here. It is a great honor to be able to prove to the next official!"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "No problem, Master Wu can rest assured!"

Wu Biao was overjoyed, and quickly served Xiao Rui a drink, and then respected the three Guo Jia and Guo Jia separately before retiring and leaving without further interruption.

The four of Xiao Rui discussed while eating.

"His Royal Highness, although we have found out the cause of the death of the three deceased, we still don’t know who the murderer was, what the murderer’s intention was, and what the murderer will do next. But from the clues I have now, I think it’s in line with me. In the earliest calculation, I felt that the murderer created panic in order to let the people of Songyang County leave here, and this purpose is what the murderer needs to find. If there are too many people, there are many people, and it is easy to leak the news. "Guo Jia calculated.

Xiao Rui nodded, and said, "If filial piety is reasonable, then there are two ways. The first is to wait and see what happens. Since the murderer has this intention, I believe that as the horror of evil ghost murder spreads, the murderer's purpose is very It will be achieved soon. The second method is to expose the truth and eliminate the panic of the people while also breaking the murderer’s conspiracy. Then he has to take the risk and expose it more easily. Fengxiao, which method do you think is better?"

Guo Jiadao: "The first method is insurance, but it wastes time. The murderer spent more than 20 days in the layout, which shows that he is very patient. If we wait, the length of time is not easy to control. The second method is fast, but there is a risk of more variables. , And how many enemies are secretly unclear."

After some calculations, Guo Jia said: "Didn’t the county magistrate say that there are evil ghosts dragging iron chains and roaring sounds in the night county town? Then let Yuanfang and Dianwei work hard tonight, and the two secretly explored if It’s even better if you can find someone pretending to be a ghost. If you can’t find a valuable discovery, then tomorrow we are discussing what method to use. How about your Highness?"

Xiao Rui smiled and said, "Fengxiao thought carefully, then Yuanfang and Dianwei will have to work hard tonight!"

Li Yuanfang and Dianwei hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness is serious, this is what we should do."

That night, Li Yuanfang and Dian Wei were dressed in night clothes, but the two searched hard in the streets of the county town, and they did not find any sound of evil spirits dragging the chains, let alone howling evil spirits.

Until early morning, the two men returned to the county office in a hurry.

In the morning, Xiao Rui and Guo Jia learned that the search was fruitless. Xiao Rui didn't care, but Guo Jia's vigilance was aroused.

"His Royal Highness, there is a problem here, and wait until I ask the head of the county government office." Guo Jia immediately asked his servants to call the head of the county government office.

"The villain Meng San pays homage to the grown-up." The county official said respectfully.

Guo Jia asked, "Meng Du, there is something I want to ask you."

"My lord, please." Meng Du first asked.

"I heard from the county magistrate that there are often the sounds of evil spirits dragging iron chains on the streets of the county at night. Is this always happening, or is there a pattern?"

The head of Meng Du was responsible for investigating the case. Naturally, he knew best about what happened in the county. He only heard him say: "It has been there all the time. Since the first deceased Yao master defrauded the corpse, the person who beats the guard every night is around midnight. You can hear the dragging sound of iron chains and the low growl of evil spirits, which is extremely terrifying."

"What about last night?" Guo Jia asked.

Meng Du was taken aback for the first time, and said: "Last night? This...the villain hasn't had time to ask."

Guo Jia nodded and asked about other things: "In addition, there is one more thing. After our adults came to Guixian yesterday, we heard that there was a murder case, so we didn’t let the magistrate of Wu County hide the news of my adult’s arrival. , I only say that it’s a friend from afar, and those who know my family’s supervising Yushi status, in addition to the magistrate of Wu, there are also two arresters who include Meng Dutou. You probably didn’t talk nonsense to others."

Meng Du hurriedly said, "My lord, please rest assured, we all know the rules. How dare to say nonsense. If the nonsense affects the adult's official duties, we must bear the responsibility. Let's not lie to the adults, our family members have been sent out of Songyang County. They have all gone out to avoid the wind. Now all the arresters are on duty in the county government. Even if the other two have broken mouths, the news will only circulate within the county government."

Guo Jia nodded, he asked what he wanted to ask, and then sent him away with a few simple sentences.

Xiao Rui is not stupid. Just after hearing Guo Jia's question, he knew what the problem Guo Jia was talking about!

Why was there the sound of evil spirits pulling chains the other night, but not last night? Is it the devil on maternity leave?

If it wasn't, it was because of other reasons, so Guo Jia immediately thought, was it because of his party's arrival that the secret murderer was aware of it, so the midnight drama of the evil spirit dragging the iron chain was cancelled?

Understanding Guo Jia's guess, Xiao Rui couldn't help but secretly praised him for his agile head and how fast he turned.

As soon as Mengdu left, Xiao Rui said: "Fengxiao, do you suspect that there are spies in the yamen?"

Guo Jia nodded and said: "That's right! If the murderer really planted a spy in the county office, then he would know everything in the county office as well as his chest. This would be a good move."

"Then who do you suspect?" Xiao Rui asked.

Guo Jiadao: "Although the county office is not big, it has all the internal organs and six internal organs. A middle county like Songyang County has hundreds of people. There are three classes and six houses in a middle county like Songyang County, and there are gates, Zaoli, horsemen, etc. Waiting, there are many people coming and going, but only the upper level can grasp the news, so many people are excluded. In addition, we just arrived yesterday and only contacted very few people, and lived in the county office, the county princes and the county lieutenants. Those officials didn't even meet each other, so those people were basically eliminated. In the end, the people we suspect must be in this county and have access to important news."

Xiao Rui nodded and said, "Those who meet this requirement are now the only county magistrate Wu Biao, Meng Dutou and the masters next to the county magistrate."

"No, Your Highness, there are more!" Guo Jia smiled.

"Who?" Xiao Rui asked.

Guo Jiadao: "The mansion of the county magistrate is just after the county office, and the two are connected. Wu Biao's wife and concubines cannot be ignored."

Xiao Rui suddenly said, "Yes, pillow breeze and bed talk have been the sharpest since ancient times!"

"His Royal Highness, I mentioned two methods yesterday. After analyzing the gains and losses, I feel that waiting is too slow. The initiative is in the hands of the murderer. It is better to adopt the second method, but the second method needs to be modified. It is better to talk to Wu Biao first. It is clear that if someone around Wu Biao is the eyeliner of the murderer, then the murderer will hear us and find the truth. Then, the murderer must take advantage of the fact that the truth has not been announced, deal with us in advance, and even take the opportunity to create greater panic. Secondly, He will also speed up the implementation of the conspiracy so as not to usher in greater trouble. In this way, although we may be in a certain danger, we have the initiative in our own hands." Guo Jia said.

With Guo Jia by his side, Xiao Rui was really lazy and said, "Okay, then follow Feng Xiao's method!"

In the afternoon, Guo Jia found Wu Biao and said that he had basically judged the cause of the death of the three deceased because it was caused by man, not by evil spirits, but reliable evidence has not been found.

Wu Biao was a little confused on the spot.

Didn’t it say that there was no clue to ~www.ltnovel.com~ and it was suspected of evil spirits?

Wu Biao was also happily playing with his concubine at night. I will play this one today. What about the most basic trust between people?

After listening to Guo Jia's narration, Wu Biao had a widowed expression, and this time he was finished.

In the evening, when he came to the concubine's room again, he had no other thoughts. Seeing that his expression was wrong, the concubine hurriedly rubbed his shoulders and asked sideways.

...

The third day in Songyang County.

Yesterday, I told Wu Biao about the murderer’s speculation. I didn’t expect the arrest was reported early this morning, saying that there was a dilapidated brick kiln in the north of the county seat.

Wu Biao quickly got up from his concubine's jade arms, and hurriedly hurried away with the arrest and concubine, Xiao Rui and the four naturally followed.

Unexpectedly, before the murderer started to attack, there was an unexpected situation.
