Chapter 1547 If you don’t obey, you will be sent to see the King of Hell.
When it comes to spying on information, Zhu Xiucai's work efficiency is simply not very high.
It only took half an hour before he returned with the news.
"Duke, I've made inquiries and no one here knows about Bai Peng or that we have sent an inspection team here.
But I heard another news: A few days ago, Qianhu Li Quan's cronies led a team out to perform a mission. As a result, they were ambushed by Japanese pirates and evil spirits, and the entire army was wiped out.
I suspect that this confidant of Li Quan was probably involved in the ambush of Bai Peng. At the worst, he helped Li Quan and others to contact Japanese pirates and cults. Because he knew too many secrets, he was afraid of leaking them and was betrayed by Li Quan.
Quan has silenced his mouth."
Qin Shaoyou nodded.
This guess is indeed very likely.
But he did not rush to express his opinion. Instead, he turned to look at Cai Guizhong, who had just arrived from the City God's Temple, and asked, "Have you recruited Bai Peng's soul?"
"not yet."
Cai Guizhong held a soul-calling flag in one hand and a book of life and death borrowed from the Jinling Prefecture City God's Temple in the other, shaking his head and saying:
"I tried several methods, but I still couldn't recruit Bai Peng's soul.
I judge that either Bai Peng and the others are still alive, or their souls were destroyed when they died.
There is also a possibility that the souls were taken away and sacrificed to the mad god in the blood moon together with their corpses and flesh."
Qin Shaoyou, Zhu Xiucai and others did not believe that Bai Peng was still alive.
So the latter two guesses are more likely.
"What's the name of that confidant?" Qin Shaoyou asked Zhu Xiucai.
"Guo Lin." Zhu Xiucai reported a name.
Qin Shaoyou immediately told Cai Guizhong: "Try to see if you can recruit Guo Lin's soul."
Cai Guizhong said yes and turned to Zhu Xiucai to ask for Guo Lin's detailed information.
Even if you don't know the person's birth date, you still need to know his place of origin, residence, etc. Only then can you cast the spell accurately to avoid attracting the wrong soul.
Zhu Xiucai didn't know this, but it didn't matter. He immediately went out and walked around again.
I came back faster this time.
After returning, he told Cai Guizhong all the information he asked about.
Not only did Cai Guizhong want to know, he even found out which fan Guo Lin had a good relationship with and had an affair with a widow...
Unfortunately, Cai Guizhong, who had obtained these information, still failed to recruit Guo Lin's soul.
The people at Jinlingfu Editing Factory are indeed very stable in their work.
Not only killing people, but also destroying souls to avoid future troubles.
He has quite the demeanor of Qin Shaoyou, the governor-general.
With the current corrupt situation in the southeast, Li Quan and the others don't have to worry that the disappearance of Bai Peng and Guo Lin's souls will make them suspicious.
They can completely blame the cultists.
Killing people and trapping their souls has always been a common method used by cultists.
"How about I try another way and look for clues?"
Just when Zhu Xiucai was about to go out to make a few more friends and pry out some news, a dark shadow quickly slipped in from under the door.
It was the shadow demon who was back.
It was like a kitten, quickly crawling onto Qin Shaoyou's body, and after Qin Shaoyou stretched out his hand, it spit out a paper crane talisman.
As Qin Shaoyou poured in blood, the paper crane talisman immediately flapped its wings and flew up.
A piece of light and shadow shot out from the crane, forming a holographic projection in front of everyone.
The picture is very clear. Although the angle is a bit uncomfortable, Qin Shaoyou and the others can still recognize it at a glance. The three people in the picture are Li Quan, whom Shadow Demon is following and monitoring, and his two deputies.
It could be seen that the three of them, Li Quan, were discussing in a secret room.
The room was not big, with only one door, which was tightly closed.
There are no windows around, and there are soundproof and anti-peeping talismans affixed to the walls.
Li Quan and the other three were also cautious enough.
Unfortunately, they never expected that the person watching them was not outside the house, but had slipped in after them and hid in the shadows beneath their feet.
What they didn't expect was that this shadow actually used a talisman to record their secret discussion.
In the picture, the first person to speak was a deputy Qianhu named Gu Zhen.
It was this person who had previously proposed a 'guessing' in an attempt to lead Qin Shaoyou and others to suspect that Bai Peng was killed by Japanese pirates and cultists.
"As soon as the young governor named Qin comes, he will investigate Bai Peng's matter. Are you sure you have dealt with it well? Don't let them find out anything by then."
Li Quan picked up a pot of wine from the table, poured it for himself, and said coldly:
"What are you afraid of? Bai Peng and the others were all dead, and their souls were sacrificed to their gods by those cultists in front of us. Then we killed those cultists cleanly and scattered their bones and ashes.
, burning souls and destroying souls, leaving no one behind.
The only people involved in this matter, except the three of us, were Guo Lin. And they all died, and their souls were sacrificed to the moon...
As long as you keep your mouth shut, they will investigate and find nothing. They can only accept the 'truth' we formulated."
Another deputy Qianhu Qiao Zhong also spoke: "I think our new governor is somewhat evil.
He just came here today and he used tricks like deception. If we hadn't been blessed, I'm afraid he would have tricked us into telling the truth right at the yamen gate.
He will definitely continue to investigate us later.
I'm not worried about Bai Peng, I'm just worried that he will find out some of our other problems, especially the things we did with Fusang."
Li Quan was still confident and sneered:
"We have silenced everything that should be silenced, and destroyed everything that should be destroyed. Unless they pry open the mouths of the three of us, or go to Fuso Country and catch the big names who cooperate with us, they can't find out anything.
!
That boy surnamed Qin is so young and may not even have a full head of hair. How can he have such ability?
Although there are rumors outside that he killed the late emperor. But do you believe this kind of thing? Just him? How can a young boy kill the late emperor?
He was able to become the admiral of the editorial office because of his status as a relative of the emperor.
Have we seen too many of these dandy relatives? How many of them are really capable?"
When Gu Zhen heard this, he was obviously relieved and agreed with a smile:
"Qianhu is right, we have been worrying too much. The little governor doesn't have any vitality on his body, and it seems that his cultivation is not high. His ability to confuse people's minds is probably due to some great inner secret treasure he carries.
And the people around him didn't look that good either.
Or he is a tuberculosis ghost with black eyes and a body that has been hollowed out.
Either he talks in a nonchalant manner, looks like he has never seen the world, and insists on seeing the local leopard in the spiritual creature room.
He was the bald man, tall and powerful, but obviously not very smart.
As Senhu-sama said, as long as we don't mess up the situation and don't expose any flaws, these people won't be able to find any problems."
Qiao Zhong is obviously the most cautious among the three.
Even though his two colleagues had said this, he still frowned: "As the saying goes, don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens..."
Li Quan sneered and interrupted him:
"If the worst happens, let them follow in the footsteps of Bai Peng. If he is obedient, I will call him Lord Superintendent. If he is disobedient, I will send him to see the King of Hell!"
"That's right."
Gu Zhen nodded in agreement, and then sneered: "The governor of the editing factory died for the country. This is something that can be written down in the history books. He has to thank us."
"Ha ha ha ha."
Li Quan and Qiao Zhong also laughed.
For a time, the secret room was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
