Chapter 493 Inspection
Chapter 493 Inspection
Lao Huang's subsequent explanation seemed simple. He just found A Xun's secret place and discovered that A Xun was refining the "Death-Resting Incense". When the incense was ready, the fragrance spread far and wide, resulting in the famous corpse mutation.
After listening to Lao Huang's statement, Wu Jinliang raised another question: "Your last name is not Jin, did you change it?"
Speaking of this, Huang Yingying, with a swollen face, sighed, "After leaving Shenshan and gaining my freedom, I was worried that my surname might cause dislike one day, so in order to avoid trouble, I changed my surname to 'Huang'."
One can imagine how scared he was at that time. Wu Jinliang didn't ask any questions. He went out of the cave again, took out the mother-child talisman, and directly messaged Shi Chun: Chuntian, did you get the things on Axun's body?
The library was dark; the street lights outside the window were still dim, and the occasional movement of passers-by could be heard.
Shi Chun sat alone in the shadows, slowly chewing fruit beside a patchwork table. Suddenly he took out the mother-child talisman and looked at it. Seeing that it was a message from Wu Jinliang, he replied: I didn't take it when I took it.
Wu Jinliang immediately told him: Is there still a chance to get it now? According to Huang Yingying, the reason why the corpse turned into a corpse was because A Xun was secretly refining the "Que Si Xiang", which means that A Xun might have the "Que Si Xiang" on him.
Shi Chun never dreamed that Lord Axun actually had what he was looking for. He stood up subconsciously, but soon sat down again and asked again: How come there is the "Quesixiang" on him?
Wu Jinliang immediately informed the relevant circumstances one by one, including that the "Shenshan" was the "Shenniao Mountain" and the "Jinque Mountain", as well as Huang Yingying's life experience. Finally, he made a special reminder that it would be difficult to silence the old man Huang Yingying before things were confirmed.
Of course, some people also expressed doubts, suspecting that this might be Huang Yingying's way of protecting herself.
Whether it was a means of self-protection is another matter. Shi Chun asked again: Ask Lao Changtai and the others, among the suspicious people found in the shop, is there a man with long flowing hair, silky black shirt, three-dimensional face, and red eye sockets?
When Wu Jinliang saw it, he immediately raised his hand and slapped his forehead, as if to ask how could he have forgotten this.
He immediately turned around and hissed twice.
Lao Changtai, who was in the cave, came out immediately after hearing the sound, and Wu Jinliang showed him the message.
Lao Changtai nodded immediately after seeing it and said, "Yes, it's the one who appeared a few days ago. He went up the mountain inside the city. We couldn't follow him. We don't know who he is on the mountain. We are trying to find out his identity..."
As he was talking, he finally realized what was going on.
Wu Jinliang immediately told Shi Chun the relevant news.
After seeing this, Shi Chun got a headache. Such a leak could have happened. He replied: It must be A Xun. Huang Yingying should not have lied, but he definitely cannot go to the scene where he was killed now.
Wu Jinliang asked: What should we do then? The thing is very likely with him.
Shi Chun: I'll handle it, Huang Yingying keep it.
After the two ended their contact, Shi Chun fell into deep thought in the darkness. Later, he took out the mother-and-child talisman and sent another message to Wu Jinliang: Leave the mother-and-child talisman that you used to contact Mei You to me.
Wu Jinliang reminded him: the mother-and-child talismans used by this group of people might be different from ordinary ones, and might be able to locate. Once Mei You realizes that something has happened to his men, he might find them based on the location.
Shi Chun: I know. Just keep calm and don’t let him notice it yet.
Since he said so, Wu Jinliang naturally had no objection. He turned around and gave the mother-child talisman to Lao Changtai, and reminded him: "Something has happened. Dazhi City may have to be closed. It doesn't matter if I live outside the city. You should rush back as soon as possible. You can ask the boss yourself about how to hand over the things."
"Okay." Lao Changtai took his things and quickly evacuated.
The handover was not difficult. Shi Chun went out again, and the two completed the handover when they passed each other on the road.
On the mountain inside the city, the lights suddenly became much brighter. This unusual movement caused quite a stir in the city. Just as Wu Jinliang had expected, a large number of people in the city were dispatched to activate the city defense formation and seal off the city!
Wu Jinliang's response was very timely.
At the same time, Mei You hurried to the inner court. After Lou Xiu had arranged and dismissed all the people, he approached and whispered, "Tixia, I heard that Lord Axun was killed?"
Lou Xiu hummed, "It's a serious matter. The city lord is very angry. Hmm? What do you mean by that look? You don't think I did it, do you? I'm telling you, I've been in the mountains the whole time. This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm also very surprised."
Mei You was surprised and didn't know whether what the other party said was true or false. If it wasn't the other party who did it, then who could it be?
Lou Xiu added: "But this is not a bad thing for us. Tell your men not to run away. Let them return as soon as possible."
"Okay, yes." Mei You agreed, and took out the mother-and-child talisman on the spot and issued an order to his subordinates, indicating that everything was fine and they should return immediately.
The night is lively and bustling, with people coming and going on the streets. Shi Chun, who was strolling, just found a secluded corner and went into it, and then he saw the order issued by Mei You on the mother-and-child talisman.
He immediately replied: The things in the hole in the broken wall in Sanqi Alley should be handed over to Lou Xiu. You will regret it if it’s too late.
As the message was sent, he directly made a hole in the wall in front of him, took out a mother-child talisman, and stuffed it into the hole together with the one that sent the message, and then turned and left.
In the inner court hall, Mei You was stunned when he saw the message. This was obviously not a reply from his subordinates. Did his subordinates' mother-child talisman fall into someone else's hands? What about the previous connection?
Thinking of this, he almost broke out in a cold sweat.
Lou Xiu accidentally turned around and saw his appearance. She realized something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?"
Mei Yougan swallowed, walked quickly up to him, and handed him the message on the mother-child talisman.
After seeing this, Lou Xiu was very surprised. Why did they bring this up directly to his head? He glared at them angrily and shouted, "What's going on?"
Mei You said embarrassedly: "I don't know either." Then he quickly replied to the message and asked: Who are you?
However, no matter how he asked, there was no response.
Lou Xiu suddenly said in a deep voice: "Don't bother, go and see what it is."
"Okay." Mei You ran away quickly.
After going down the mountain, he asked someone to drive a carriage and hid in the carriage. After all, there were too many people in the city who knew him.
When the car arrived at Sanqi Lane, he jumped out and quickly went into the lane. After searching for a while, he saw a hole. He carefully cast a spell to explore the hole. After confirming that there was no trap, he reached in and took out two mother-and-child talismans.
He looked around, then quickly left the scene and got back into the carriage.
After the carriage returned to the foot of the mountain, he quickly got off and ran back up the mountain. When he returned to the inner court hall, he saw Lou Xiu waiting and immediately presented the two mother-and-child talismans to him, "Captain, here are the two mother-and-child talismans."
"Two?" Lou Xiu took it in his hand, flipped it over, and said, "Just tell him you got it and ask him what he wants."
"Okay." Mei You did as he was told. Unexpectedly, as soon as the message was sent, the piece of paper in Lou Xiu's hand began to emit faint glowing words.
As soon as Lou Xiu saw the contents of the handwriting, he immediately showed it to Mei You and cursed, "Idiot!"
After Mei You looked at it, she took a closer look at the font size mark on the talisman and found that it matched the mark on her hand. In other words, it was the other half of the talisman on her hand. She had not noticed it before and felt embarrassed.
However, it also made the two of them understand the purpose of the other mother-and-child talisman.
Lou Xiu threw back Mei You's half, picked up the other piece, and snorted, "Be so cautious, I'm afraid the one who came to your door is not a good thing."
After saying that, he directly sent a questioning message on the talisman in his hand: Who is it?
Shi Chun, who had returned to the library and continued to eat the food in the fruit plate, took out the mother-child talisman and looked at the content on it, put down the bitten fruit, and replied: The person who killed Lord Axun first found the two errand boys who were following the scene, sent one of them to get rid of Bai, and after that person came back, the murderer immediately killed the two errand boys, and then went to Lord Axun, took advantage of his unpreparedness to attack him, and then killed the rest of the people, and then set fire and left.
After sending the message, he put down the talisman and continued to pick up the bitten fruit and chew it. In the dark, he looked at the dim light and shadow on the window and chewed with an expressionless face.
After seeing the bunch of densely packed small characters on the mother-and-child talisman, Lou Xiu's heart sank. He immediately avoided Mei You's probing gaze, walked back to the desk and sat down, then sent a message and asked: What do you want to do?
Shi Chun calmly ate the fruit in his hand until only the core was left, then picked up the talisman. After seeing the content of the new message, he was basically certain that the other party was Lou Xiu himself, and replied simply: Give me all of A Xun's personal belongings.
Want Axun's things? Lou Xiu looked suspicious, wondering why the other party wanted Axun's things. It was definitely not for money, otherwise he could have blackmailed him. In other words, there must be something special in Axun's personal belongings.
After a few thoughts, he sent a message asking: How can I give it to you?
Shi Chunhui: Wait until you can get it.
Lou Xiu pondered silently for a long time before slowly putting away the mother-child talisman in his hand, stood up and left.
Mei You followed and asked anxiously, "Tixia, what does the other party mean?"
"What do you mean? I mean to clean up your mess." Lou Xiu said angrily.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night. The entire Dazhi City is in turmoil as the city guards knock on doors every household. Chaoyue Pavilion is no exception. The lights in the front hall are on, and Dong Wenshu's family is alarmed.
There was no way out. The person knocking on the door felt that Shi Chun was not a good enough waiter and insisted that Shi Chun call out the boss and require everyone to be present.
After everyone arrived, the leader looked at them and asked, "Are these the only ones? Are all of them here?"
Dong Wenshu asked, "There are only these people in the library. What's going on so late at night?"
The leader said loudly: "Mr. Wen Shu, you all listen carefully. Tonight at 10:00 p.m., if anyone in your family is out of the shop and not at home, where they went and what they did must be reported to the authorities for verification. No concealment is allowed, otherwise the consequences will be serious!"
After saying this, Dong Liangyi subconsciously glanced at Shi Chun who was standing aside.
Hearing the bustle on the street outside, Dong Wenshu asked again: "Did something happen?"
The leader said, "Someone committed a crime and killed the messenger sent by Shenshan. Anyone who can provide useful clues will be rewarded handsomely. The city lord said that the reward is 100 million gold coins!"
"One hundred million?" Dong Liangze couldn't help but exclaimed.
Everyone present was moved, even Shi Chun. One could imagine that with such a huge reward just for providing clues, the city lord was obviously really angry.
Dong Wenshu thought it was nothing serious. He felt relieved when he heard it. He thought that such a big thing must have nothing to do with their family. He immediately looked around and asked, "Did you hear it? Did anyone go out at 11 pm?"
