Faced with Leshan's arrogant attitude, it was impossible for Yang Yi to apologize to him on behalf of his master.
He just shook his head, glanced at the other party, then looked at Governor Li, and said with a smile: "We are here to capture the remnants of the Soul Receiving Sect. It doesn't matter whether we cooperate or not."
After hearing this, Governor Li could only smile bitterly. He didn't know why Le Shui suddenly turned his back, and then said: "It's okay, it doesn't matter if you all act independently. The official uniform will not assign you tasks.
.”
Then he waved, and the officials next to him took out two files and placed them in front of them.
"This is the information on this case. Take a look at it first and see if you can find any relevant clues in it."
"Now the other party still lacks two living hearts to refine the elixir. We estimate that he will take action again within the next two days."
"Now we have to patrol the whole city at night. When the governor's office is short of manpower, we will have to work hard to help. You are acting in secret, so just act on your own."
"Okay." Everyone agreed in unison.
…
The time soon arrived in the evening.
After Governor Li finished busying with the cases on the table, he closed his eyes for a while and then opened his eyes. Although his face still looked a little tired, his eyes were as clear as they should be.
Dealing with mundane things is very mentally draining. Even if he is a practitioner in the Reality Stage, he still feels a little exhausted both mentally and physically when he deals with these things every day.
In particular, there were frequent spooky cases in the dynasty, and the governor's tasks were also very heavy. During this period, his pressure was much greater than before.
Some time ago, there was a wave of the return of demon gods everywhere, and now mysterious cases are constantly happening in various big cities. It seems that something is brewing here.
As the manager of a city, he was also very worried.
But the most important thing right now is to catch the demonic cultivators who are committing crimes in this city.
Then he opened the door and asked the clerk at the door: "Have the cultivators from Demon Slayer Pavilion and Penglai Immortal Sect taken action?"
The practitioners of the Seven Jue and Ten Sects have always been very free, and they don't like people from the court commanding them, so Governor Li did not assign any designated tasks to them, but just allowed them to move freely.
However, although I don't order them at all, I still need to know their movements to prevent anyone from really messing around there.
Young cultivators from the Seven Jue Ten Sects had been sent out to perform some tasks by their sects before, but as soon as they entered the city, they slipped away directly to the brothel to play. They had no purpose at all for coming out this time, and their behavior was very bad.
After hearing this, the clerk immediately responded: "Le Shaoxia from the Penglai Immortal Sect left early and went to the crime sites where the bodies were found. It seems that he went there to look for clues."
"What about the three demon-slaying pavilions?" Governor Li continued to ask.
"Well!" the young official hesitated for a while after hearing this and said, "Young Shaoxia Yang just went out not long ago. Before going out, he specifically asked me which brothel would be more fun. Maybe he has his own ideas."
"?" Governor Li heard the black lines all over his forehead.
Judging from the current situation, the disciples of Penglai Immortal Sect are still very active and know the purpose of their trip.
But the three demon-slaying pavilions shouldn't be like those young monks in the past, who didn't care about anything when they arrived in the city and went straight to the brothel to play!
Thinking of this, Governor Li was very angry, but he didn't want to get angry.
After all, he invited the three people from the Demon Slayer Pavilion as a favor. Who knew that the other party would send these three unlucky guys.
Although I was extremely angry, I could only grit my teeth and swallow it hard.
…
There is a curfew in Rizhao City during this time, and you are not allowed to walk around in the city after dark.
But Fireworks Lane is an exception. Because this street is full of romantic places such as brothels, it is also called Flower Street by the locals.
Speaking of which, there is one such exclusive flower street in every city.
Yang Yi went to the local flower street everywhere he went. He felt very strange when he thought about it. In the end, he could only helplessly shake his head and said: "I am a person who has long been out of vulgar taste. You guys
Why are you looking at me like that!"
When he asked about the location of Flower Street and led his team here, Bei Yin and Liao Yihai always looked at him with very strange eyes.
Not only the look in his eyes, but also his face almost said: I didn’t expect you to look very serious, I didn’t expect you to be such a person.
"Yes, yes." Liao Yihai nodded repeatedly after hearing this, "Although we went to visit Fireworks Alley, we went with the purpose of searching for the remnants of the Demon Sect."
After hearing what Liao Yihai said, Beiyin quickly took over and said: "Yes, the women in this whole street are naked. It is a great merit that we can save them from the fire and water."
After hearing this, Yang Yi quickly explained with black lines on his forehead: "We are here to do serious business, don't impose your dirty thoughts on me."
After saying that, he walked straight to a brothel with the largest facade.
Due to the recent mysterious case, very few people come out at night, and the business of the brothel is also very bleak.
So as soon as the girls at the door saw the guests, they warmly welcomed them and surrounded the three of them into the inner hall.
Seeing this, Yang Yi quickly waved his hand and refused, then found a table to sit down, ordered some snacks and a fruit plate and stayed there.
After the girls around him left, Beiyin said: "Yang Yi, you say you are a decent person, but your steps betray your true intentions. Even when I usually go to places like that, I have to
You were secretive and hesitant, for fear of being bumped into by an acquaintance, but you were not worried at all and just walked in carelessly."
"To be honest, this is my first time coming to a place like this. My father has never allowed me to come here before." Liao Yihai kept looking around and said excitedly, "Brother, I have decided to stay with you for the rest of my life.
Together."
"Shut up, both of you." Yang Yi said in a low voice, and then gestured for the two of us to get closer, "The purpose of my coming here is to track down the remnants of the Demon Sect."
"Okay, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to give yourself such a high-sounding excuse." Beiyin said with a smile.
After hearing this, Yang Yi rolled his eyes at him and continued: "When I was looking through the files just now, I found that although the places where the dozen victims were killed were scattered in every corner of Rizhao City, the time when they were killed was basically
It’s all around midnight.”
"At that time, the entire Rizhao City was under curfew, and it was impossible for ordinary people to walk around outside."
"If it was a person who was still walking alone outside at that time, he should have a special identity."
"Are you talking about the literati?" Beiyin immediately took over the words and said.
"Yes, because it is very expensive to stay overnight in a brothel, and there are many people who don't need to stay there for that long, so..." Yang Yi continued to explain.
Upon hearing this, Beiyin whispered: "If it were me, I would definitely not die, because I would have to wait until dawn before I choose to leave."
"Me too." Liao Yihai said quickly
"Ahem!" Seeing that both of them were off topic, Yang Yi coughed and cleared his throat.
At that time, Liao Yihai retracted his thoughts and asked: "So they will choose to go home at night."
"Yes, although there is a curfew in the city and there are soldiers patrolling, those extremely experienced literati can easily escape."
"And I just asked the soldiers guarding the city specifically. Even if those people are caught by them, as long as they don't have a criminal record, they usually only fine them some silver and let them go."
"And these people have naturally become the hunting targets of the remnants of the Soul Receiving Sect."
"This remnant of the Soul Receiving Sect is really hateful." Beiyin said angrily.
Yang Yi nodded after hearing this: "He regards those literati as the target of hunting. He will definitely not go all over the city to find hunting targets, so Huajie must be his first starting point."
"I'm sure he's staying in the Flower Street just like us, waiting for the sky to darken."
After listening to Yang Yi's analysis, Beiyin and Liao Yihai felt nervous, their faces became extremely solemn, and even their breathing became a little heavier without knowing it.
