The content written on the poster was absurd. It probably said that His Majesty the Emperor was going against the grain, searching for children all over the south of the Yangtze River, and cutting out their hearts to make elixirs. The one who was responsible for this was the notorious inner factory.
The poster also said that the inner factory had already committed this evil deed in Wuning City, and listed the tragedies that had occurred in the city, such as a pair of children from a good family in the east of the city who disappeared inexplicably, and the body was found with its heart hollowed out, and Zhou Cai in the north of the city.
One family was caught stealing a child in a factory, and the whole family was killed. Similar things happened in the west and south of the city, and they will become more and more serious.
"Quickly, follow the address mentioned on the poster to verify whether these things have happened!"
Liu Sandao's face turned pale.
He had never thought before that someone would dare to frame the internal factory.
Su Wen took a poster from Liu Sandao's hand and felt a little scared.
The word poster is not a handwritten version, but a whole carved board, which is then printed with ink.
"It seems... Hu Xiaoqian is not the only murderer."
This idea quickly flashed in Su Wen's mind. After calming down, he said to Liu Sandao: "Uncle Liu, there should be a force behind Hu Xiaoqian. Don't treat her as a lone wolf doing evil."
"Hmm...how do you say this?"
Liu Sandao's expression changed slightly. No matter how troublesome Hu Xiaoqian is, the inner factory can still crush it with its strength.
If there is a group or the support of a certain force behind her, things will become difficult.
"From a time perspective, Hu Xiaoqian cannot do so many things by herself."
Su Wen glanced at Liu Sandao with a somewhat surprised expression.
The factory guard has reported that many posters have been posted throughout the streets and alleys of Wuning. It is impossible for just one person to do such a complicated thing.
Just engraving and printing so many posters is not a small project, and posting and distributing the posters requires a lot of manpower. Moreover, it can be ruled out that the posters are employed.
Wuning City is the capital of Jiangnan Province and is heavily guarded. Not only are government forces patrolling at night, but the inner factories are also patrolling.
The people who were able to avoid the eyes and ears of the inspection team and the inner factory at the same time and post so many posters were either extremely agile and extraordinary people, or they were a group of people who were familiar with the time and rules of government patrols and inner factory patrols, perfectly staggering with the law enforcers.
Encounter is possible.
After Su Wen expressed his reasoning, Liu Sandao gave him a thumbs up: "That's great. We finally have someone in the factory who can rely on his brains to handle cases!"
"Well……"
Hearing this, Su Wen didn't feel much joy. He only felt ridiculous in his heart: In the past, the internal factory didn't rely on brains to handle cases, so how could it handle cases?!
But after thinking about it, Su Wen felt relieved.
In essence, the inner factory is not a normal government office, and its job is not to catch the fast. The main business is to suppress monsters and catch ghosts, and its part-time job is to deal with extraordinary people who commit crimes. Suppressing monsters and catching ghosts is not to handle criminal cases. When evil spirits and ghosts appear,
Once you discover it, just start doing it, no need to use any brain at all.
As for the extraordinary beings who commit crimes, most of them will have extraordinary beings from their respective schools to clean up the house, and it is not the turn of the inner factory to act as the main force.
"Then how should we arrest this group of people next?"
Liu Sandao was gearing up.
Extraordinary people commit crimes, and they are gang crimes. Once caught, it will be a huge achievement.
Not only can you get generous rewards from the insiders, but you can also extort huge benefits from the schools involved in the case. The benefits are not ordinary gold and silver, but secret medicines and even formulas that extraordinary people desire more.
"Let's start with the internal investigation... Whether it's within the factory or within the government, we must first investigate ourselves to see if there is anyone who has colluded with Hu Xiaoqian..."
Su Wen rubbed his head vigorously: "But there are more urgent things to do right now...refuting the rumors! This is more important than anything else!"
At this point, Su Wen's expression became more solemn: "Spreading rumors and creating panic may also be one of the methods for Hu Xiaoqian's extraordinary power to be promoted. After all, the seven emotions and six desires do not separate families."
He vaguely sensed the logic of Hu Xiaoqian's behavior.
Her promotion path is probably to amplify the emotions and desires of a group of people in one place, take secret medicine in this atmosphere, and be promoted to a higher level of transcendence.
Previous rumors about the emperor's draft have caused a lot of public dissatisfaction in Jiangnan Province, and the sentiments of all interested parties are different.
Old bachelors will naturally be overjoyed when spring comes, parents who are forced to marry off their daughters will be worried and angry, and girls who get married in a hurry will definitely be sad and unable to restrain themselves... All kinds of complex emotions will naturally be amplified.
Gather together.
On this basis, Hu Xiaoqian set off another fire. If this rumor succeeds, the fear and panic of the people in Wuning City will be further amplified, turning it into a hotbed suitable for her to be promoted to a higher rank.
"The top priority is to get rid of the environment that suits her promotion, otherwise she will become more powerful...and it will be more difficult to deal with."
Su Wen licked his lips, feeling that he was in danger.
Now Hu Xiaoqian is convinced that the key spirituality for promoting the secret medicine is still in him, and she will definitely not give up.
This madwoman...maybe she will really gather people to attack the inner factory office and kill him.
If there was Hu Xiaoqian's internal support in the factory... she wouldn't even need to do it herself.
Thinking of this, Su Wen felt horrified again.
"At the same time, we must strictly investigate the personnel in the internal factory. If there are Hu Xiaoqian's accomplices among them, then everything we do will be known to her, and everything we do will be in vain."
"That makes sense!"
Liu Sandao stared at Lao Liu for a while and said, "Lao Liu, are you the mole?"
"ah?!"
Lao Liu was shocked. How could one of his good deeds be implicated in the mole? He said with an aggrieved look: "Stall, you understand me. On the surface, I am studying the knowledge of the Za family, but my
The promotion path is through Legalism, I won't touch anything that breaks the law!"
"That makes sense..."
Liu Sandao looked around, trying to find the suspect.
Seeing his gaze, the surrounding factory guards expressed their opinions one after another, deciding that they had nothing to do with this matter and that they would not collude with Hu Xiaoqian and others.
In particular, factory guards with mixed family backgrounds swore and swore one after another to show that they were sworn in with the crime.
"Really...he is really a guy with unique skills..."
The scene in front of him really amazed Su Wen. Only then did he realize that most of the extraordinary people in the inner factory were not loyal fans of a certain school. They might be disciples of a certain school on the surface, but they
His extraordinary path belongs to another school of thought.
The main reason why such an embarrassing thing happened is that the internal factory has too few types of secret medicines, and can only provide promotion paths for certain schools.
Fortunately, the secret medicines of low-sequence transcendental beings in various schools can be used interchangeably, so there will be no major hidden dangers. As for the promotion paths of high-sequences, there is no need to worry. Because most of them
None of the people have the potential to reach this point.
It's just that Su Wen didn't know this.
"Hmm... I still trust my brother. But you have to be careful in everything... Yan Duo, please come up with a charter and conduct a thorough internal investigation, just in case."
Liu Sandao did not relax his vigilance because of the factory guards' words, which made Su Wen feel a little relieved. But only a little bit.
"The top priority right now is to crack down on the rumors!"
Su Wen calmed down. Since it was determined that Hu Xiaoqian was using rumors to create a promotion environment, getting rid of the rumors became the most important thing.
"Let someone do it!"
Liu Sandao sighed repeatedly: "Not only the internal factory, but also the governor's office has been notified... It is not easy to deal with spreading rumors and refuting them."
Su Wen deeply agreed.
Especially when the government has little credibility, Su Wen has seen what the image of the internal factory is like. He clearly remembers that Liu Sandao almost frightened Manager Xu when he announced his identity in front of Manager Xu and others.
Peed.
Therefore, whether the government or internal factories come out to refute the rumors, it is unlikely to have a very good effect, and may even make the matter darker.
By that time, things really got out of hand.
Thinking of this, Su Wen expressed his worries. If refuting the rumors would only exacerbate the situation, he would be doing the bad guys a favor.
"What can we do?"
Liu Sandao scratched his head in embarrassment. In the past, he always did things with one word: reckless! The monsters and ghosts who dared to make trouble would tremble under his three swords, so there was no need to worry.
"Ask someone with authority to help."
Su Wen took a deep breath: "Chief of Qingshan Academy, what's your reputation like?"
This is the only suitable person he can think of.
"Qingshan Academy...Qian Haoran?"
Liu Sandao hesitated for a moment, nodded heavily, and then smiled bitterly: "Of course he can...but it's not easy to invite him."
Qian Haoran is a great scholar in the world, and his virtue is known to the world. If he is willing to come forward to help the internal factory refute the rumors, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating, and there will be no dark place for them to spread.
But!
Qian Haoran and the Liang Dynasty are not going to deal with each other!
Confucianism has always been under attack in the Daliang Dynasty. If it were not for Qian Haoran's ambition when he was promoted to Daliang, he would not even be willing to set foot on the land of Daliang.
After being promoted to a scholar for more than ten years, Qian Haoran has been teaching and educating people in Qingshan Academy, reciting poems and having fun with the academy gentlemen, staying aloof from the world and rarely appearing in front of the world.
Except that Liu Sandao and Dong Zhizhang had a fight in Zuixian Tower yesterday, which alarmed him. He suddenly appeared in front of the world, and then quietly returned to the academy and continued to live a small life without fighting against the world.
"I'll go and invite you!"
Su Wen gritted his teeth and said.
The matter was related to his family and life. Although Su Wen was not sure, he had to give it a try. After all, he was Dong Zhizhang's student and the closed disciple of the deputy principal of Qingshan Academy. Although the door had only been closed for a few hours, this
Identity, after all, has some weight.
"This... seems like I can give it a try."
Liu Sandao's eyes lit up.
He had heard Dong Zhizhang mention before that Qian Haoran seemed to have the idea of accepting Su Wen as his student, so Dong Zhizhang came over overnight to take Su Wen under his wing to prevent him from being intercepted.
With this level of goodwill, maybe Qian Haoran will make an exception and help the factory?
