With a hint of drunkenness on her face, Yan Chixia was walking around Haizhou City, and her destination was the Governor's Office in Haizhou City.
But when he got closer, he suddenly felt the pressure of the human dragon's energy.
Yan Chixia is not an outsider like Zhao Youqian, who has no concern or fear for human dragon energy.
He is not even afraid of directly attacking the emperor, which is beyond the concept of practitioners in this world.
Although Yan Chixia had the opportunity and saw the scenery of other worlds in Zhutian Xiaoguan, those thoughts had not been changed yet. After she noticed the suppression of the human dragon energy, she clearly gave up.
Of course, by this time, he was also quick-witted.
He didn't dare to break into the yamen, but there was no problem with the secretary-general's house.
After all, he was a former official, and he was also the chief catcher of the Thirteen Prefectures in Jiannan Road. The secretary and chief bookkeeper were also the officials he often dealt with.
What's going on with these guys that he doesn't know yet?
They have long been people with no future, but being able to become a bookkeeper can be regarded as an opportunity for advancement. Controlling a state's book collection, many secretaries and bookkeepers are doing private work of copying.
In the world of Xianxia, books can be regarded as a very precious wealth.
Naturally, they are the first to get the most. When others copy, they will ask others to give themselves a copy.
Over time, the collection of books in the governor's office basically includes a copy of these secretaries and master books.
Although she didn't know the names of all the officials in Haizhou City, Yan Chixia could still be sure that the habits of these officials were indistinguishable and were all copied from the same mold.
Sure enough, he searched around the government office and found the secretary-general at the scene of a multi-person movement. After finding out where his home was, Yan Chixia even took out some of his Colleague’s address.
However, Yan Chixia obviously did not expect that the secretary-general's home would now have so many books.
Fortunately, although the chief bookkeeper was drunk and lustful, he still had a basic level of reading. He put the books on the bookshelves according to years and categories. Only then did Yan Chixia take a look at the local chronicles of Haizhou City.
Calculating the years silently, Yan Chixia took out a local chronicle that the Laoshan Taoist had started recording in the spring of the year he was born and traveled, and then read on.
It wasn't until about ten years after the witchcraft incident in Haizhou City was cleared and the governor resigned that the words "Dragon King Sacrifice" finally appeared.
"Huh? This is..."
"Sun Li Mihei, four families established Haizhou City?"
At this moment, a piece of seemingly unrelated information appeared in Yan Chixia's eyes. He subconsciously recorded this in his mind, and read through the records along with the classics.
One clue after another appeared in his mind.
But the most critical threads still haven't appeared, but now it's enough to complete what Zhao Yougan told you.
The magic spell was displayed, making the secretary-general feel as if he had been drunk. After returning home in a daze, Yan Chixia's figure disappeared directly into the home of the chief-general.
...
"The day after tomorrow is the Dragon King Festival, you all should be in good spirits!"
"What if any of the sacrifices escape?"
"I'm going to kill you!!"
Several big men with evil looks were surrounding a huge iron cage. It was unclear what was inside, but just by looking at the extremely nervous looks on the guards around them, you could tell that they were by no means simple creatures.
"Boss, these guys have already injured more than twenty of our brothers. If they continue like this..."
Haizhou City was already quite prosperous, and there was little floating population. The local gangs did not have much fresh blood to join, and the death and injury of more than twenty people was already a very heavy loss.
It happened that there was a big shot suppressing them, and even the gang leader couldn't say anything. He could only try his best to bring back all the manpower scattered in Haizhou City to make up for the lost manpower.
"Okay, stop talking, it's just about these two days."
"When it's over, I invite you to go and relax!"
The leader had a bare head and a few scars on his face. When his eyes swept over the iron cage, he couldn't help but flash a very secret fear.
Then he patted his younger brother on the shoulder.
I did not forget to give my instructions again.
"Cheer up for me, don't tell me again how those guys were injured before!"
"Damn it, I'm just like your mother!"
"Gan!"
With reminders and curses in his mouth, the bald man didn't go far, he just turned a corner and went to the house in front.
I'm also afraid that if something happens again, no one here can handle it.
...
It is not uncommon to see similar iron cages throughout Haizhou City. They can even be described as densely packed.
A large number of people were stationed, but even the merchants who often came here did not notice this. They just felt that the atmosphere in Haizhou City seemed a little strange.
This also made Haizhou City feel caught off guard when it came to the closure of the city, even for these maritime merchants and traveling merchants who often traveled to various places.
As for those who had already discovered some clues, they had left Haizhou City a few days ago and just ordered the people who stayed in Haizhou City to quickly unload the goods and put their things into the warehouse.
It's not that some of these businessmen are unpredictable, but it is the instinct of some businessmen to subconsciously leave the center of the storm.
However, the sudden blockade of Haizhou City still caused a lot of conflicts, especially the sudden loss of voice of the Governor's Office, which also made some people guess that something was wrong.
...
"interesting..."
"I didn't expect you to be so careful. You even figured out some of the circumstances surrounding the establishment of Haizhou City."
"Has Sun Limi blackmailed the four families..."
At this time, Zhao Youqian was looking through some of the classics that Yan Chixia had obtained. Some of them were printed from his memory using magic, and some were obtained by using his magic hand to do the thing about the shadowless gentleman.
Of course, he still left a lot of money for other people, at least enough to pay for the book.
"I'm not stupid. Counting this matter since the Laoshan incident, it's definitely not enough."
"When I noticed that Haizhou City was established less than three hundred years ago and was only earlier than the Jin Dynasty, I discovered some clues."
"Now, if I continue to look through this local chronicle, I find that the several companies that founded Haizhou City have gradually declined over the years. This is simply an extremely abnormal thing."
"I knew that this matter must have something to do with the Dragon King Festival."
Yan Chixia took a sip of wine proudly.
Then he pointed at the local chronicle in Zhao Youqian's hand and laughed.
"The most important thing is what is written in this book, the sacrifices for the Dragon King Festival!"
