Whether it is conducting follow-up investigations around the key points summarized previously or dealing with the aftermath of Lumen City, these things will take time to carry out and cannot be accomplished overnight.
After returning to the camp, Chai Shilin and the others immediately took action, issuing various orders and sending out people one after another.
Yunjing had the power of command but not control, so these specific arrangements were left to Chai Shilin and others, which gave him a moment of free time.
Yun Jing did not give random orders. Yun Jing believed that these old officials must be more professional than him, so he separated from them temporarily. However, they were in the same camp and they were not far apart. Xiong Fang Tubo and his four guards still followed Yun Jing.
King performs his duties.
As the maid arranged by Sanluo to serve Yunjing, Qingyue had been waiting in the camp for a long time. When Yunjing returned, she would take him to the prepared residence, even though she knew that she would not be able to stay in this place for long.
The place was taken care of in every detail.
"Master Yun, due to time constraints and limited conditions, the accommodation arranged for you is a bit crude. If you are not satisfied, there are two other places to choose from. Please come with me first," Qingyue said cautiously as she led the way.
Yunjing came to Sanluo with two identities. One was the envoy of Dali. Traveling with such an identity had strict standards. The other was that he was specially invited to solve the problem, so naturally he did not dare to neglect it at all.
"It doesn't matter, the current situation is special, just keep it simple. Besides, I have been poor since I was a child and have lived a hard life, so I don't need to be too deliberate," Yun Jing said with a calm smile.
Qingyue remained calm on the surface, but she secretly thought that this Young Master Yun from Dali actually came from a poor family. No wonder he was so approachable. Now he has reached the point where even His Majesty would be invited by a courtesy corporal. He really is a noble son from a poor family. Like this
His age and height are rare in the world.
'I don't know what's going on at Mr. Yun's house, but that's not something we dare to ask,' Qing Yue thought in her heart, but said, "If you have wronged Mr. Yun, please bear with me."
Mr. Yun, who comes from a poor family, would not be too repelled by the arrangement of his residence, right?
Qingyue, who has been sent to secret training since she was a child, still has some common sense. In her understanding, a poor family means a down-and-out scholarly family. No matter how poor it is, at least two people will enter the small courtyard, and there will be a few loyal ones.
The servant refused to leave, and the family was so poor that they only had dozens of acres of farmland and a room of books. Life was so tight that they had to frugally save money even on the last nice occasion with their classmates...
After all, people are different. Yunjing said that he was poor since he was young, and he was so poor that he couldn't take the blame. Qingyue thought that he was from a poor family. The difference between them was endless.
He didn't know what she was thinking, and Yunjing didn't have the ability to read minds. However, what surprised Yunjing was that Qingyue's so-called simple place turned out to be a rather elegant small courtyard that had been carefully taken care of and fully furnished.
It's brand new, so I don't know where they got it in a short time. In addition to Qingyue Qingmei, there are also ten grooms, maids, and old ladies in total, although these people were all recruited temporarily. I don't know where they were recruited.
Is this called simplistic? It’s already surpassed that of many well-to-do people, right? Sister, do you have any misunderstanding about the word simplistic?
"Master Yun, are you still satisfied? If not, you can change it again," Qingyue said cautiously after arriving at the destination.
This place is located ten miles outside Lumen City. It should have been a village before, but now it is deserted. It is a garrison that blocks Lumen City. The yard was carefully selected for Yunjing.
After looking at it for a while, Yunjing said: "No need to change, save the trouble, just stay here, I don't think we will live for long, we will go to other places at any time."
"In that case, please invite Mr. Yun in," Qingyue said with a sigh of relief. If Yun Jing frowned dissatisfied, the other two places prepared may not be suitable, and this place is already the best.
Yunjing himself doesn't like trouble, and he doesn't like to cause trouble to others if it's not necessary. It's just a temporary residence, so don't be too fussy. He doesn't care if he just pitches a tent.
Anyway, he lived through good times and could adapt to hard times.
"Young master Yun, you have worked hard on the case. Please have some tea. I have already ordered my servants to prepare a banquet soon. Do you need a shoulder massage to relieve your fatigue?" Qingmei brought tea at the right time.
It must be said that Qingmei Qingyue has undergone strict and specialized training. She has an eye-catching appearance and never says too much about things that should not be said. Everything is arranged in an orderly manner, which makes people feel particularly comfortable.
It was just a trip to Lumen City. Why was it so hard? It only took half a day. However, the other party said that he seemed to have done something and was so tired.
Sitting in the hall, Yunjing took a sip of tea and said, "I won't bother Miss Qingmei. Let someone send some tea to Mr. Xiong and the others."
Yunjing has not forgotten the conscientious Xiong Fang and others. Many times, others will treat you the same way you treat others. People are all mutual.
"Don't worry, Mr. Yun, I'll make arrangements right away." Qingmei nodded and left.
Nothing happened for the time being. Yunjing looked at Qingyue who was waiting beside him and said, "Miss Qingyue, could you please help me get a map?"
"Young Master Yun, you're welcome. I'll go get ready right now." Qingyue bowed slightly and left quickly. They didn't dare to neglect any of Yun Jing's instructions. Yun Jing must have something serious to do when he wanted the map, so they couldn't delay.
After taking the map, Yun Jing unfolded it on the wall and looked at it silently.
This is a brand new map, with no smears, just like the one on that day.
Looking at the map, Yunjing recalled the route after entering Sanluo. His eyes occasionally stopped at some places. Those places were where he found traces of rapists on the way. Because it was just a quick glance, he could not guarantee those people at the moment.
The appearance of the traitor means that he is planning a certain place, or there is a stronghold or one of the headquarters of the traitor organization nearby.
If you have time to spare, you should still go visit Yunjing in places where gangsters appear.
After a moment, Yunjing looked back, greeted Qingmei Qingyue and Qingyue who were standing aside, and said, "Are there any martial arts forces near Lumen City? How are they doing now?"
Although she didn't know why Yunjing asked, Qingmei immediately replied: "Mr. Yun, we don't know much about these things. The people who want to come to the arrest department have been here for a few days. They should have some idea. Do you need me to call someone over?
Ask?"
"That's fine," Yunjing didn't refuse.
In a world where imperial power is supreme, although the Jianghu forces cannot cause too much trouble, but it is related to a traitor organization, Yunjing still needs to understand the surroundings. If such a thing happens within the sphere of influence of a sect, one can imagine how big the impact will be.
, has become a matter of survival.
Soon Qingmei brought a member of the arrest department to report to Yunjing the surrounding situation.
From this person, Yunjing got a rough idea of the distribution of forces in the rivers and lakes around Lumen City. The rivers and lakes are complex and complex, and the involvement of large and small forces can be said to be a constant mess.
Back then, within the area of several hundred miles around Lumen City, there were two really influential forces that even the government could not ignore. There were even more large and small gangs and escort bureaus that had nothing to do with them. There were no less than ten or twenty small forces in total.
, there are more rogue gangsters at the bottom who have three religions and nine streams.
The precious lumen stone is a specialty of this place, and almost all the interest chains of the surrounding large and small forces are related to it.
But now the entire Lumen City has been reduced to a dead end, and almost all the small forces have disappeared. Even one of the two influential Jianghu forces has perished, and half of the remaining ones have died. The others have died due to the destruction of Lumen City.
And the Ju faction moved away.
Knowing this, Yunjing looked at the members of the arrest department who came to report and said: "Let people check the movements of the surviving members of the Golden Blade Sect. Although their sect is half destroyed and cannot survive, there are still some people.
, check if there is anything unusual among the remaining people."
"Master Yun, what do you mean...?" A member of the arrest department said thoughtfully with his eyes focused.
Yun Jing said: "If evil organizations want to develop and grow, they cannot come out of thin air. They always need people to join. Jianghu forces are a force that cannot be ignored. What if they are networked? Even if there is no gain, there will be no gains.
It’s just a little effort, but if you get something, it’s a huge breakthrough.”
"I'll take care of it now," the other party said in a deep voice and left quickly.
Yun Jing didn't pay too much attention to this, he just had the intention of stabbing him with a stick, and he could control the matter with just one sentence.
What Yun Jing has to admit is that power is really an extremely charming thing. It only takes one sentence to do anything. Some people just run errands. They don't have to do it themselves at all. They just need to wait for the results. People try their best to climb up.
Reasonable.
Investigating the whereabouts of the remaining people in the surrounding rivers and lakes is just Yunjing's impromptu idea. As summarized before, there is always a direction for investigation. It is best to have results, but it is normal to have no results. After all, Yunjing has no intention of uncovering the traitor organization through normal means.
Too much hope.
The investigation takes time. As for how long it will take for the news to be reported back, it depends on the efficiency of Sanluo's people. Another point is that Sanluo cooperates with Yunjing in all aspects. It is estimated that other talents are the main force. As a country,
It doesn’t take much thinking to figure out how it is possible to pin such a serious matter on an outsider.
After a while, the food was ready. Yunjing didn't care about so much for the time being and started eating first.
Some aspects of rules are engraved in the bones. Even if Yunjing takes the initiative to invite, no one from Qingmei and others will eat at the same table with him. Yunjing does not insist on this. He thinks that it is better to live a normal life and stand tall.
, even the human touch has faded. Fortunately, it is only temporary. If he lives this kind of serious and rigid life forever, Yunjing probably won't be able to adapt to it.
While eating, Yun Jing noticed that the ground was shaking, and saw sharp edges flashing in the distance. He knew in his heart that this was San Luo sending masters to Lumen City to clean up the aftermath. Someone was cracking the ground for the hundreds of thousands of dead people in Lumen City.
An Mian, I think it won't be long before the traces of the former Lumen City will be completely wiped off the map.
A person with true artistic conception can already split a mountain and destroy a general. It is not difficult to wipe out a dead city.
Hundreds of thousands of people are sleeping, the elderly and children, merchants and scholars, civilians and beggars, refugee officials... This world is too cruel.
In troubled times, human life is worthless...
When the sun was setting, Chai Shilin and Leng Wushuang came to Yunjing. Yunjing was still dining, so he stood up and invited: "You two came at the right time, why don't you sit down and eat together?"
Chai Shilin and Leng Wushuang did not refuse. They were hungry when they arrived. Besides, they were not servants, so they were naturally qualified to eat at the same table as Yun Jing. They only had two more sets of bowls and chopsticks.
Several people didn't drink, because now they are investigating a case, and they don't pay attention to eating or sleeping. Chai Shilin said: "We sent people to investigate and summarize the seven places a few days ago, and there is already news feedback."
"Tell me about it," Yun Jing said seriously, knowing in his heart that he was definitely not the first to know the feedback. It is estimated that the other main players of Sanluo were the first to receive feedback. Maybe they should give feedback at any time. After all,
I am just an outsider, otherwise I would not have been investigating for so many days before the news came.
At Chai Shilin's signal, Leng Wushuang took charge of the explanation and said: "Master Yun, we sent people to investigate the seven places. A large number of people secretly visited areas hundreds of miles around. In five of them, nothing was found and there was no evil.
There is no trace of the members of the organization, and one place is still being investigated intensively. The people we sent to the last place disappeared directly. Finally, people were sent to the center of the seven locations we guessed to investigate hundreds of people in the surrounding area.
There, no valuable information about their headquarters was found.”
After listening, Yunjing nodded slightly. Five of the seven places found nothing, and no information about the real headquarters was found. These are normal things. Yunjing is not surprised at all. One place is still checking, and for the time being
There was no result, and there was a place where the person sent just disappeared...
With thoughts flickering in his mind, Yun Jing asked: "Where are the missing persons?"
Leng Wushuang picked up a soybean, and when he heard this, he flicked his wrist, and the soybean flew out and fell directly to somewhere on the map on the wall. He then said: "That's the place where we sent hundreds of thousands of elite personnel.
The investigation spanned hundreds of miles, but wherever they went, there was no trace of them all."
After taking a look at the map, Yun Jing said: "Is Xiangzhou Luohu County?"
The Luohu County of Xiangzhou on the map is located in the southwest of the Sanluo Dynasty. It is more than five thousand miles away from where Yunjing and the others are at this time. It is not very far. Yunjing and the others even passed by Xiangzhou when they came here.
Woolen cloth.
"Yes, it's that place. Lord Yun, do you also suspect that our people were discovered by evil organizations after going there and were harmed?" Chai Shilin nodded and said solemnly.
The people sent there are all elites, many are innate masters, and some even have true artistic conceptions. However, there is no news from them all. You can tell that there is something wrong there.
And the situation is quite serious. It should be noted that the people sent there went there secretly. If they were harmed, how did a sensible person know their identity? Doesn't it mean that there are spies on our side? Put aside the possibility of spies.
If so, how does the other party monitor such a large area? And how does it identify those people sent by the imperial court?
Yun Jing said in a deep voice: "There was no news after they left. We do not rule out the possibility that they have been harmed. We analyzed before that that place was one of the enemy's headquarters. If there really was a headquarters, all the people sent by the imperial court would have been killed.
That makes sense!”
Hearing what Yun Jing said, Chai Shilin and Leng Wushuang not only did not get angry, but instead became happy.
Leng Wushuang couldn't help but said: "In this case, there is likely to be the headquarters of an evil organization in Luohu County, Xiangzhou. Even if our analysis of other places is wrong, as long as we confirm the authenticity of that place, it will be a great progress.
Solving the cancer will play an immeasurable role!"
After thinking about it, Yun Jing said: "Don't be too happy. After all, it is something that has not yet been determined. Moreover, the disappearance of our people does not rule out other unexpected situations. In the end, if it is really the work of an evil organization, who can guarantee that it will happen?"
Isn’t it a trap?”
"Master Yun's words are reasonable, but no matter what, Luohu County in Xiangzhou will be the key target of our investigation next," Chai Shilin said sternly. He couldn't help but take a high look at Yun Jing's qi-nurturing skills. In comparison,
Leng Wushuang, one of the Three Heroes of San Luo, was a little out of sorts.
Leng Wushuang also realized that he was a little excited, and quickly calmed down and said: "Since Master Yun only saw this, what should we do next?"
"As Mr. Chai said before, Luohu County in Xiangzhou will be the key target of our investigation next, but other aspects of the investigation cannot be relaxed. After all, the outcome of Luohu County is still unknown." Said here, Yunjing
After a pause, he continued: "Then, it is inevitable that people will continue to investigate Luohu County, but we must be more careful to avoid missing persons again."
Nodding, Chai Shilin muttered: "Master Yun, Luohu County in Xiangzhou is likely to be a huge breakthrough. When do you think we will leave?"
"Of course, the earlier the better, the later the better," Yun Jing said without hesitation.
Chai Shilin said: "Master Yun, we have just come here and haven't even had time to take a good rest..."
"Master Chai, what are you talking about? Soldiers are very fast. If we leave earlier, we can probably dig out the cancer and save countless people earlier. How can we care about other things? As for cultivation, we can do it on the road." Yunjing shook his head and said
, understanding that the other party was just saying polite words, I guess I wanted to fly over immediately.
At this time, Leng Wushuang stopped eating and immediately stood up and said: "In that case, without further delay, I will go over here to make arrangements for my departure."
After saying that, he left in a hurry.
Chai Shilin said: "I will immediately mobilize manpower to rush to that place. It is very likely that there will be a tough battle with the enemy by then, provided that they will not avoid fighting as they did in the past."
Yunjing didn't say anything about this. If he really got involved with the rape organization, he couldn't be more prepared.
After all, the plan couldn't keep up with the change. Yunjing originally thought about taking some time alone to follow the clues and follow the clues. Now it seems that if everything goes smoothly, he probably won't have to do it alone.
Although Yunjing and Chai Shilin Leng Wushuang both thought about whether there was a spy inside, no one came to say it openly, because once such a thing without evidence was said, it would definitely cause huge damage to the inside.
Amidst the turmoil and suspicion, now is the time to seek stability. Any internal turmoil will lead to serious consequences. Sanluo is already in a precarious state and cannot withstand such a torment.
Secondly, they did not discuss in depth whether Yunjing said there was a trap or not. Whenever there was a slight chance to solve the evil organization, they could not miss it. Even if it was a trap, they had to hold their noses and jump.
Chai Shilin and Leng Wushuang were in a hurry to make arrangements for their next trip to Luohu County, while Yunjing was still chewing his food slowly.
At this time, Yunjing felt a little helpless. He really didn't like the twists and turns in officialdom. He was here to help San Luo solve his troubles. But how much did San Luo's people hide from him? They didn't believe that they could
Are you trying to solve the problem, or are you afraid that you will steal San Luo's limelight and embarrass the entire country?
With a heart as clear as a mirror, Yunjing probably understood that there must be suspicion within Sanluo about a traitor, but he didn't want an outsider like himself to get involved. However, they themselves had no choice. Then they investigated seven places, except Luohu County.
Have you found nothing outside? Maybe the problem is too serious and you are helpless to think of it!
It's very annoying.
After all, he is not one of his own. If he were in Dali, he would probably have everyone actively cooperating with him.
It didn't take long for Leng Wushuang and the others to prepare for their departure to Luohu County. Yunjing, who had already finished his meal, naturally wanted to leave immediately. Lumen City had already been here, so there was no need to stay.
To go to Luohu County, their mode of travel is still the Black Eagle Aircraft, and they will probably arrive there in the middle of the night.
However, just when Yunjing and the others were about to board the ship and set off, there was a noise outside the camp.
"Master Yun, don't worry about it. We need to go to Luohu County first." Chai Shilin glanced at the direction of the commotion and frowned slightly. He didn't want to be distracted by small things.
Yun Dingding nodded, retracted his gaze, and did not intend to ask.
However, at this moment, the noise outside the camp became louder, and followed by angry curses, a figure quickly rushed towards Yunjing and others.
"Looking for death!", Chai Shilin's eyes turned cold, and he was about to order him to be executed on the spot, storming important military sites, and clashing with court officials. In this critical period, unless the background reaches the sky, he can be sentenced to death!
Yunjing glanced at the person who broke through the defense line and came quickly, without saying anything. He was a mid-term innate master in his thirties. He was the same person who was rummaging for corpses that Yunjing and the others met in Lumen City not long ago.
It's normal that the ordinary garrison outside can't stop him.
Without waiting for Chai Shilin's order, the middle-aged man immediately bent his knees and knelt on the ground after seeing Yunjing and the others, dozens of meters apart. Due to the rapid attack, he slid out more than ten meters from the ground.
Two shallow ravines were plowed.
Raising his eyebrows, Chai Shilin ordered him to be killed. He didn't say anything for a moment. He just looked at the other party coldly and knelt down as soon as he came. He had to give the other party a chance to speak.
The middle-aged man immediately touched his forehead to the ground and said in a hoarse voice, almost gnashing his teeth: "For disturbing you sirs, the ordinary people deserve to die. The ordinary people bear a blood feud, and the unjust souls of my family members are still in the sky. Please save my life. The ordinary people will use this to save my life."
I have come to atone for my sins, and I ask you all to give me a chance."
He kept kowtowing as he spoke, his head banging on the ground and dust flying up, as if he wanted to hit himself to death.
Chai Shilin and the others had met this man in Lumen City, and they were probably familiar with his situation, and their anger at his attack on the military camp had also dissipated a lot.
Gently waving his hand to signal the frightened soldiers who had gathered to calm down, Chai Shilin looked at Yun Jing and said, "Master Yun, what do you think? Should he execute the law on the spot, expel him, or give him a chance?"
"Although his behavior was a little reckless, it was still measured and did not hurt anyone. Considering what happened to him, it was excusable. If not, let's just forget it. Mr. Chai, what do you think?" Yun Jing thought for a while and said.
Without a direct answer, we are all colleagues, so we naturally discuss it, and playing Yiyantang cannot last long.
The man was still kowtowing loudly and kept saying: "I beg you, sir, to give the common people a chance to atone for their sins and take revenge. Although the common people have low abilities, they still have some means. If you can't kill two people with your own hands,
Enemies, even if they die, they have no shame to see their relatives at the foot of the spring. I beg you, sir, to give the common people a chance."
This is also a smart man. He knows that he has no hope of revenge, so he puts his hope in the government. Otherwise, based on his own words, he may never find his enemy in his lifetime.
Why did he find Yunjing and the others? Needless to say, the imperial court dispatched troops with great fanfare to investigate the real culprit behind the massacre of hundreds of thousands of people in Lumen City. This was his only chance. Even if he risked his life, it was worth trying.
If he tries, he will get revenge, but if he doesn't, what's the point of living?
Yun Jing did not express his position at this time, and Chai Shilin was also a little undecided.
On the contrary, Leng Wushuang said: "Master Yun, Master Chai, now is the time to hire someone. That person has some strength and carries a blood feud. He will definitely hate the evil organization to the bone. Why don't you let him go and give him a chance?"
"Master Yun, what do you think?" Chai Shilin asked Yun Jing's opinion.
