Chapter 2985: Live to see people, die to see corpses
Lingyun City.
It is the first city that Ye Qiu and Master Changmei want to investigate, because this city is the largest and has the largest number of people who have disappeared.
When Ye Qiu and Master Chang Mei arrived, there were already many people in Lingyun City.
However, these people are not the disappeared common people, but the forbidden troops brought by Wu Qianfan.
As soon as Ye Qiu and Master Changmei landed, a group of forbidden troops came over.
"Greetings to the Prince Consort!"
"Meet the supervisor!"
These forbidden soldiers all knew Ye Qiu and Changmei Zhenren, and they quickly knelt down and saluted.
Master Changmei then remembered that he had been appointed as the Superintendent of Qintian Prison by Ning'an. If these forbidden soldiers hadn't saluted him, he would have forgotten about it.
Before Ye Qiu could say anything, Master Changmei said first: "Everyone, get up!"
"Thank you, Prince Consort, thank you, Supervisor!" The Imperial Guards stood up.
The corners of the Changmeizhen's mouth twitched, I told you to get up, why are you thanking the little bastard?
"Where is Wu Qianfan?" Ye Qiu asked directly.
"Reporting to the Prince Consort, the Prince is at the City Lord's Mansion." said one of the Imperial Guards.
Ye Qiu said: "I understand, you go and do your work!"
"My Prince Consort, would you like me to take you to the City Lord's Mansion?" said the Imperial Guard who spoke previously.
"No need." After Ye Qiu said that, he led Master Changmei straight to the city lord's mansion.
Looking at Ye Qiu's retreating back, the faces of these forbidden soldiers were filled with admiration.
"The prince-in-law is not only highly skilled in cultivation, but also talented in literature. Compared with him, I feel like a waste!"
"I wish I could be as powerful as the Prince Consort!"
"The Prince Consort is truly a divine man!"
"..."
City Lord's Mansion.
study.
Wu Qianfan was sitting behind a large desk, wearing armor, with an aura of calmness and authority between his brows.
He held a volume of documents in his hand, his eyes focused and sharp, as if he could discern the deep meaning behind every word.
The desk was piled with documents, all spread out. It was obvious that Wu Qianfan had read them all.
At this time, a guard came in with tea and said: "Your Majesty, you haven't stopped since you came here. Let's take a rest and watch again!"
"Put down the tea, you go out first." Wu Qianfan warned: "Tell the people below that if there is new news, you must report it as soon as possible."
"Yes!" the guard responded and hurried out.
Just as the guard left, a voice suddenly sounded in the study: "My second uncle, although you are busy with official duties, you must also pay attention to your health."
The next moment, Ye Qiu and Master Changmei appeared out of thin air.
Wu Qianfan suddenly raised his head. When he saw Ye Qiu and Changmei Zhenren, a joyful smile appeared on his face. He quickly stood up and greeted them: "Boss, Taoist Priest, you are here."
Speaking of which, Wu Qianfan is older than Ye Qiu, but when he was in the Immortal Mountain, he lost to Ye Qiu and promised to be Ye Qiu's slave. But with Ning'an's relationship, how could Ye Qiu do that?
Let your second uncle be your slave?
But Wu Qianfan didn't know why he was so crazy, he insisted on calling Ye Qiu boss like Lin Daniao.
Master Changmei said enthusiastically: "Qianfan, we are already so familiar with each other, don't call me Taoist priest all the time, it will seem unfamiliar."
Wu Qianfan asked subconsciously: "Then what should I call you?"
The Changmei Master raised his chin: "Call Jian Zheng!"
Wu Qianfan was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "I almost forgot that you were appointed the Superintendent of Qintian Prison by Ning'an."
"But Taoist Master, are you sure you want me to call you that?"
"If you consider yourself a prisoner, then you must bow to me when you see me."
Master Changmei then remembered that his prisoner was a first-class prisoner, and Wu Qianfan was the Protector of the Country.
Ye Qiu said from the side: "I am the consort, you must also salute me."
Grass!
Changmei Zhenren said angrily: "Grandma, I originally thought about becoming an official, but who would have thought that you are all more senior than me. I'm so angry."
After saying that, he took out the wine gourd and sat down on a chair beside him to drink.
Ye Qiu was too lazy to pay attention and asked Wu Qianfan: "How is the investigation of the situation going? Is there anything gained?"
Wu Qianfan smiled bitterly and said, "I gained nothing."
Ye Qiu was not surprised by this result.
"After setting off last night, I divided my troops into four groups and sent a forbidden army to each city to investigate."
Wu Qianfan pointed to the documents on the desk and said: "These are all the news reported from the four cities. They can be summarized in twelve summaries."
"No clue, no clues, pretty weird."
Wu Qianfan said solemnly: "I really can't figure out how the four cities with a population of nearly 20 million disappeared so completely without leaving even a trace? It's so weird!"
Master Changmei said from the side: "If the Nether Clan takes action, it would be abnormal if it is not weird."
"The Nether Clan?" Wu Qianfan's expression changed and he asked: "Is the disappearance of the population in the four cities related to the Nether Clan?"
"It's either related or they did it," Changmei Zhenren said.
Wu Qianfan looked at Ye Qiu, wanting to get the answer from Ye Qiu's mouth.
"It was indeed done by the Nether Clan." At that moment, Ye Qiu told the story of the Nether Clan's attack on Rongbao Pavilion.
After listening, Wu Qianfan's brows furrowed even more.
"As far as I know, the Nether Clan has not been born for many years. Why did it suddenly appear this time and attack Rongbao Pavilion? Did your Rongbao Pavilion provoke the Nether Clan?"
Ye Qiu shook his head: "No."
"That's strange. They don't go to so many places in the world of cultivation, so why do they have to attack Rongbao Pavilion?" Wu Qianfan thought about it and said, "I understand!"
"It must be that there is some treasure in your Rongbao Pavilion that has attracted the attention of the Underworld."
"Otherwise, they have no reason to attack Rongbao Pavilion."
Hey, this kid's mind is smarter than before!
Ye Qiu secretly thought, and then said: "Don't forget, the disappearance of people in the four cities is also related to the Nether Clan."
Wu Qianfan's brows furrowed again: "Strange, we didn't provoke the Nether Clan, why would they target us?"
Master Changmei said: "The Nether Clan has always behaved strangely. They will do whatever they say they will do to you. There is no need for a reason."
Wu Qianfan added: "By the way, since we know that the disappearance of people in the four cities was caused by the Nether Clan, what are you doing here?"
Ye Qiu was speechless, thinking, I praised you for being smart just now, why have you become stupid again now?
Ye Qiu said: "The old man and I came to investigate this time mainly because we want to find the missing people in the four cities. No matter what, they are the people of Ning'an, and their whereabouts must be found."
Wu Qianfan sighed: "Yes, after all, there are nearly 20 million people, which is not a small number. Even if everyone spits, it can turn into a stream."
"Boss, what are you going to do next?"
Ye Qiu said: "You continue to search the restricted area, my brother and I will walk around the city first."
"Okay." Wu Qianfan said, "I will fully cooperate with you. Whatever you need me to do, you can always tell me."
"Yeah." Ye Qiu hummed, and then left with Changmei Zhenren.
On this trip, he needs to find the missing person.
You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die!
