Zhu Quan was sitting in the door of Mingjing Mansion, with a candle lamp placed in front of the desk. He bent down in front of the desk and was looking at the files in front of him carefully.
There were many young people like him in green shirts beside him, lying in front of their desks, frowning and looking at the files in their hands.
There is still no progress in Spiegel's claim against Shanshuigou - after all, for Tianxuan Mountain, recognizing the legality of Shanshuigou means having to pay exorbitant sums of money for including Shanshuigou and the land occupied by previous expansions.
That number probably exceeds tens of millions.
Not to mention Tianxuan Mountain, even the court of Dayu had to think carefully if it wanted to squeeze out tens of millions of taels of silver.
Therefore, for Tianxuan Mountain, the best way to deal with the Shanshuigou issue at this moment is to put it on hold temporarily.
But this also shocked Tianxuan Mountain to a certain extent.
This has never happened in the past ten years or so.
The people in Tianxuan City who had been oppressed by the inner gate of Tianxuan Mountain suddenly seemed to have found a life-saving straw. They began to complain to the Mirror Stage one by one, hoping that the Mirror Stage would help them redress their grievances.
The Mingjingtai does not have many manpower, and it has strict requirements for recruiting disciples, so a large number of affairs have accumulated. For more than a month, Zhu Quan and others have been running around collecting evidence during the day and returning at night.
After arriving at the mansion, sorting out today's files, I could only sleep for less than three hours almost every day.
Zhu Quan yawned loudly, sleepiness welling up in his heart.
He quickly reached out and patted his cheeks to wake himself up a little, and then looked intently at the file on the desk.
These days, he almost always comes here like this.
Although it was hard work, he felt particularly excited as he watched the Mirror Tower grow stronger and stronger, and watched Tianxuan Mountain restrain its arrogance.
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath and devoted himself to the work of sorting out the files.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside the house.
Everyone in the room was attracted by the sound, and they all looked up and looked outside the room.
I saw a figure wearing a black scholar's shirt and a white mask walking into the house at this time.
Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment, but they came to their senses the next moment. They stopped what they were doing, stood up and saluted the man, and said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Meng."
Mr. Meng is a very knowledgeable and capable person.
Although Zhu Quan has never seen the other party's true face so far.
But this does not prevent Zhu Quan from admiring and respecting Mr. Meng from the bottom of his heart.
It was he who summoned Zhu Quan and these people together, told them the Dayu Law, and told them that under the law, everyone in the world is equal.
Even if it is a giant like Tianxuan Mountain, as long as it does not abide by the law, it should be punished.
Those words are so hollow that even a three-year-old child can talk to you at the top of his lungs.
But the difference is that Mr. Meng really agrees with this logic.
And, be willing to put it into practice.
So for a long time, Zhu Quan was willing to follow him even if he couldn't get on the stage.
Mr. Meng's body seems to have some kind of magic power, making people want to believe in her involuntarily.
In the face of everyone standing up and saluting, Mr. Meng just stretched out his hand to indicate that he should continue what he was doing.
He has always been like this.
When giving lectures, he talks endlessly and is eloquent.
But on ordinary days, I cherish words like gold.
When I can stop talking, I won't talk.
Sometimes you can even sit alone in the room, do nothing, and just sit quietly for a whole day.
Seeing this, everyone went back and lowered their heads to continue the work at hand - for everyone in the Mirror, these days were very hard. They had to devote themselves to these files and try their best to find solutions.
Every case that comes in.
Zhu Quan naturally did the same, but this time, he lowered his head and read the three lines of words on the file, and then he felt a dark shadow covering the candlelight.
He was a little strange. He looked up and saw that Mr. Meng had already arrived in front of him.
Zhu Quan felt strange and couldn't help but raise his head and asked: "Sir, what's the matter?"
Mr. Meng nodded, took out a file from behind his back, placed it in front of Zhu Quan, and said, "Your friends are in some trouble. Take this file to find them."
"It can help."
Zhu Quan found it strange. He took the file and looked at it. It was the serial disappearance case that had plagued Tianxuan City for more than a year.
"Sir, how could Mr. Chu and the others have anything to do with this..." Zhu Quan asked in confusion. He didn't quite understand how Chu Qingxiao and his group could have anything to do with this.
Mr. Meng just said: "We'll find out when we get there."
Zhu Quan was also accustomed to Mr. Meng's philosophy of cherishing words like gold. Over the years, he followed Mr. Meng and everything he asked him to do, although he might not understand it at first, was more or less effective in the end.
So he didn't ask any more questions, nodded, picked up the file and left quickly.
Mr. Meng turned to look at Zhu Quan's leaving figure. Behind his white mask, something seemed to be flickering in his eyes.
…
"Lu Zhangming...it seems that he disappeared on September 2nd..." Ziyu frowned and said in the file room of Qinghuan Mansion.
"In other words, he disappeared after giving the so-called object to Yue Jian?" Chu Zhaozhao also noticed the strangeness and said so at that time.
Meng Jin also stepped forward and said, "But even so, we still can't find any trace of Yue Jian."
Everyone suddenly frowned when they heard this. Although they seemed to have found something weird, they still didn't know where to start.
"If Yue Jian is really related to the thirteen missing cases that occurred in Tianxuan City before, then the matter may be more complicated." Ziyu also said at this time.
After hearing this, everyone also reacted. There were more than ten disappearance cases in Xuan City that day. They had been going on for half a year, but they had not yet been solved. The person who committed the crime must have very clever methods.
Things will become more and more difficult.
Chu Qingxiao frowned as he looked at the file. He had no time to lament the weirdness of the matter. At this moment, he only had one thought - to find Yue Jian.
And if this matter involves a disappearance case...
Thinking of this, Chu Qingxiao's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Go and invite Lu Wendu in and ask him to find Lu Zhangming's files in Qinghuan Mansion."
After everyone heard this, they didn't understand what Chu Qingxiao meant by what he said, but seeing Chu Qingxiao's anxious look, they didn't dare to ask any more questions. They quickly turned back outside the house and pulled the old man named Lu Wendu close to him.
Lu Wendu had a heart to please, so naturally he would not hesitate.
"Because of the disappearance case of Lu Zhangming, the file was taken away by the Jianjian Hall, but we made a backup copy." He said this, took out a not too thin file from the dense file room and handed it over.
.
Chu Qingxiao took the object and had no time to respond to the other party. He opened it immediately, and then quickly scanned the contents of the file, deducing it from September 1st. Soon, he locked his target.
Take out one of the pieces of letter paper.
"Look." He said loudly.
Seeing this, everyone hurriedly gathered around.
They looked intently and saw the writing on the piece of paper in Chu Qingxiao's hand.
August 3, the twelfth year of Chongsheng.
At every hour and five, receive unlimited commissions.
If you help keep an item and deliver it properly after one month, you will be rewarded with five thousand spirit iron jade.
Client: Zhou Wanbi.
The expressions of everyone who saw this record suddenly changed.
Because Zhou Wanbi is the twelfth victim in the Tianxuan Mountain disappearance case.
"Does this mean that these dozen victims in Tianxuan City were all targeted by outside gods because they took this mission?" Chu Zhaozhao was the first to react and said at this time.
Chu Qingxiao said nothing, just looked at Lu Wendu and said: "Senior, please get the files of the twelve previous victims."
Lu Wendu saw that everyone looked like they were facing a formidable enemy, but he didn't understand what was happening.
What can be heard clearly are the words "Outer God" and "Disappearance Case".
Both of these were not trivial matters. He did not dare to neglect them more and more. He hurriedly called two disciples in and rummaged through the file room together. Soon the files of the first twelve victims were put on the table in order.
"Let's search together to see if there are any similar commissions."
Chu Qingxiao said, and everyone nodded.
And soon, eleven pieces of paper with almost the same records were placed in front of the table.
This is the second to twelfth victim to receive the unlimited entrustment file, and the difference between each one is only fifteen to thirty days.
And each one is a task received by the previous victim, and after the posted task is picked up by the next person, the poster will disappear within three days and will never be traced again.
"Why do I feel like this mission is like a curse..." Ziyu frowned as she looked at the file in front of her, feeling a chill in her heart for no reason.
But Chu Zhaozhao seemed to have discovered something strange. She looked at the letter in front of her and said, "Then how did the first victim get brought to the ground by the alien god?"
After everyone heard this, they also realized the same thing. Starting from the second victim until Yue Jian, every victim received something from the previous victim because they accepted the mission of Qinghuan Mansion.
As a result, he was targeted by outside gods.
As for the first victim, they looked through the entire file and found no record of accepting the commission.
"I'm afraid he is the key to the problem." At this time, Chu Qingxiao stretched out his hand and placed it on the first victim's file.
"In this case, let's go back first to see if there is anything suspicious in Yue Jian's house. Senior Sister Lu, Brother Meng, and Miss Meng will try to find out the identity of the first victim. If there is any harvest, we will communicate with each other immediately.
I’d like to inform you that time is of the essence, so I’d like to thank you for your trouble.”
Lu Sandao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Sword Mastery Hall right away. They should have more detailed information."
Lu Sandao said, picked up the file of the first victim, looked at the other person's name, and frowned slightly.
