Although Yang Linzheng didn't understand the reason, out of trust, he still arranged it according to Wang Xuan's request, and then asked:

"Your Highness, could you explain this?"

"Just as I reasoned just now, if Lin An peeled the skin to escape, he wanted to use it to disguise himself as Chu Yuanzhan!"Wang Xuan analyzed

"Human skin mask?" Yang Linzheng said in surprise:"This is too weird! I have only heard of it in strange novels. Does it really exist?"

"This is the only explanation, otherwise why would Lin An do this?"Wang Xuan was very sure in his heart. It was both a demon and a heavenly way, so what was a human skin mask.

Yang Linzheng looked a little suspicious, but out of respect for Wang Xuan, he did not cancel the order.

At this time, a Jinyiwei walked in front of the two and said:

"Report to Mr. Yang, Your Highness, I know what this method is."

Wang Xuan was surprised, and Mr. Yang frowned and said,"Have you seen it?"

The Jinyiwei shook his head and said,"I haven't seen it, but I heard from my father."

"Fifteen years ago, my father followed the general to South Vietnam to quell the rebellion."

"The Nanyue Kingdom was superstitious about a god called"Wu", and the people who served the god were called wizards and witches."

"They use many strange methods, including peeling people's skin to make human skin masks."

"At that time, they tried to use this method to infiltrate our Daqian army and assassinate generals, causing us heavy losses."

"Fortunately, they were outnumbered and destroyed in the end."

"But for several years afterwards, some remnants of the South Vietnamese still formed a cult and deceived the uninformed people! In the end, there were more than a million people!"

"They used the witchcraft they learned to commit all kinds of evil in the Jingchu area, and were completely destroyed by the general a few years ago."

"But the land of Jingchu was devastated by this."

"I have a small suspicion, could this be the method used by the remnants of witchcraft?"

Witch?

Witchcraft?

Wang Xuan fell into deep thought.

Could it be that this so-called [alien demon] is the [Witch], the god worshipped by Nanyue before?

With this analysis, it is nine out of ten possible.

Lin An probably came into contact with witchcraft through some unknown means.

The son of luck is the son of luck, and he has so many adventures.

Yang Linzheng also suddenly realized:"Yes! Witchcraft! I've heard my father talk about this! It really is true!"

"I didn't expect that Lin An actually learned witchcraft privately and used it to kill my Daqian people. This is simply an unforgivable crime!"

"No! We must report this to the court immediately and never let this witch cult make a comeback!"

After saying this, Yang Linzheng was about to leave, but after taking a few steps, he turned back and asked:

"By the way, what’s your name?"

The Jinyiwei bowed his head and said respectfully,"My name is Lu Qing!"

"Lu Qing......What a good name. Come with me. If it is really as you said, I will definitely give you credit!"

Yang Linzheng thought that Lu Qing knew a lot about witchcraft, and maybe he could use it.

""Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Lu Qing said in surprise.

He bowed to thank Yang Linzheng, but a strange smile flashed across his face.

Yang Linzheng took Lu Qing away.

Wang Xuan looked at the backs of the two people leaving, showing a thoughtful expression.......

South of Luodu, at Dingding Gate.

Zhang Dapao, the sergeant of the Fifth Army Battalion, yawned and looked at the crowd in front of him weakly.

This morning, the people of the Fifth Army Battalion were sent to various city gates for duty.

They said that a prisoner had escaped from the imperial prison and they were asked to help capture him.

""This Jinyiwei only knows how to show off their power. They can't even keep a prisoner under guard. What a waste!" Zhang Dapao couldn't help but mutter.

Jinyiwei had something wrong, and they had to clean up the mess for a long time.

He was just a squad leader, so he could only complain a few words.

He took a bite of the cold steamed bun to fill his hungry stomach.

In just one hour, he would be able to hand over his shift, and then he would definitely have a good meal.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the crowd ahead.

Zhang Dapao looked unhappy, and walked forward while cursing, and found that the soldiers had an argument with a carriage!

""What's going on?" Zhang Dapao asked his subordinates.

The subordinate soldier quickly replied:"Sergeant, Yang Laosan wanted to earn some extra money for his brothers as usual, but the other party thought it was too much, so he quarreled with us."

This is all routine operation. When guarding the city gate and seeing those with good living conditions, they will take the opportunity to extort money.

Otherwise, how can they live a good life with the little money issued by the Fifth Army Camp?

Yang Laosan's behavior is very normal among them.

Zhang Dapao was angry:"Who is so ignorant that he dares to talk nonsense about our people in the Fifth Army Camp?"

He was about to go up and teach the other party a lesson, but a voice came from the carriage:"Give him the money!"

Hearing this, the coachman reluctantly took out the silver and handed it to Yang Laosan

"Wouldn't it have been done earlier?" Yang Lao San took the silver and said proudly

"Can we go now?" the coachman said indignantly.

Yang Lao San did not stop him and signaled him to leave.

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, Zhang Dapao stood up and said:"That was the price just now, but it's not valid now, double it!"

"You are a bunch of big soldiers, you are going too far!" The coachman was angry.

"Oh? He actually dared to scold us. Come on, tie him up and seize this carriage!"

Several soldiers who received the order stepped forward and were about to take action.

The coachman was so scared that he shrank aside.

Another voice came from the carriage:"Humph! Let's see who dares!"

Zhang Dapao laughed. This guy is really a tiger.

It is said that it is easy to hide from the King of Hell, but it is difficult to deal with the little ghosts. Isn't this man afraid of these rascals?

""Damn it, he's so arrogant, I want to see who it is!"

After saying that, he pulled open the curtain of the carriage, and inside sat a plain-looking middle-aged man.

Zhang Dapao wanted to mock him, but he found that the middle-aged man took out a token, on which was written:

Chief Censor of the Metropolitan Censorate. Damn it, it's someone from the Metropolitan Censorate!

Zhang Dapao's face changed, and he quickly apologized with a smile,"So it's a senior from the Metropolitan Censorate! I'm so sorry!"

"I am sorry to bother you, please walk slowly!"

He quickly lowered the curtain and let the car pass.

"Damn Yang Laosan, you always cause trouble for me!" Zhang Dapao patted Yang Laosan's hat.

Yang Laosan felt very aggrieved.

He was about to let him go, but you stopped him.

But he didn't dare to say it out loud, for fear that Zhang Dapao would be angry and make things difficult for him.

Zhang Dapao vented his anger and went back to the rear to be lazy.

This incident was just a small episode, and he didn't take it to heart at all.

Finally, another hour passed in boredom, and it was finally time to change shifts.

At this time, the superiors sent down a new portrait.

"The latest news is that the fugitive may have changed his appearance. Let's identify the criminal according to the latest portrait!"

Zhang Dapao was touched when he saw the portrait:"Hey~ I seem to have seen this person somewhere before?"

After thinking for a while, his eyes lit up:

"That’s right! The carriage that just left!"
