Song Zheng subconsciously judged that Gui Jiulian was telling the truth.

Yanhonglou was blindly arrogant, arrogant, and unruly when they first met, but they would also take in the poor people from all over the world, and even put aside the hatred between humans and monsters, purely focusing on kindness and survival, and taking in those who were born in the world.

The innocent demon clan in the human territory.

Song Zheng didn't know how to evaluate them for a while. Maybe such complex characteristics were what made the prostitutes.

However, he was still very cautious in handling the case. When the weapon maker from Weili arrived, he immediately ordered that Xianxian's corpse be refined by tool making, so that he could thoroughly understand the internal structure of the corpse.

The demon race and the human race are very different.

It sounds cruel, but in fact it is no different from an ordinary autopsy. The master of tool making himself was a little resistant, but Chen Baihu quietly said a few words to him and truthfully told what Master Qianhu had done in the half day he took office.

, the master tool maker immediately trembled, showed a submissive and flattering smile to Master Qianhu, and went to work obediently.

The results soon came out, and it turned out that Xianxian was indeed a demon clan, and indeed, as Gui Jiulian said, a spiritual creature from heaven and earth could become a spirit. He did not need to eat blood, and there was no demonic energy in his body. He only needed to swallow the energy of heaven and earth.

Song Zheng explained to Gui Jiulian and escorted the middle-aged beautiful woman back to Baotaowei Yamen.

Gui Jiulian did not have the courage to ask Song Zheng to release him. She could see that Song Zheng was not "implicated" in Yanhonglou because it was for the sake of their reputation of sheltering the poor people in the world.

When he came out, he was full of murderous intent. When he returned, Chen Baihu had secretly prepared various ceremonial guards for Master Qianhu. In fact, a Qianhu should not have these, but this was the Qianhu of Long Yiwei, so it was different.

There were thirty-six monks in front holding long whips and battle axes to open the way. On both sides were eighteen guards holding banners. Song Zheng was sitting in the carriage in the middle, combing through the various clues he had now obtained in his mind.

Finally, he realized that he had to go to the Yin and Yang Water Eye of Taiji Lake to take a look.

Bai Laoqi was originally sent to Huzhou to investigate the abnormal situation of Yin Yang Shuiyan. He died in Yanhong Mansion before he could send any information back to Xiao Zhen.

There is a big secret about the entire Hongwu Dynasty hidden under the Yin Yang Shui Eye. Song Zheng would not be surprised at all if someone killed a Longyi Guard Qianhu for this secret.

He looked at the time and told Chen Baihu: "Go directly to Yaoyue Tower."

"yes."

…

Lei Minzhi, the governor of Huzhou, is 190 years old this year. He was born in literature. Because he has achieved success in cultivation, he is now in the late stage of the Mingjing Realm, so he looks like an old man in his fifties.

He also knew that he would never be able to enter the power center of the court in this life, so he only wanted to be a local emperor.

Jiangnan is rich and prosperous, so being a state shepherd here is indeed a good job, but he can't cover the sky with one hand in Huzhou City, and there are leopard guards here.

Because of this matter, Lei Min, who is obsessed with making money at an early age, often scolds his mother behind his back. In the past, he could secretly be greedy for money. Although it was not as good as other states in Jiangnan, he finally made some money.

But after Bai Laoqi came and contacted him several times, Lei Minzhi became frightened and stopped doing anything illegal or disciplinary.

While secretly hating him, he also admired: Bai Laoqi is indeed Xiao Zhen's confidant, his nose is sharper than a dog's, and no disturbance in Huzhou City can escape his eyes.

If this continues, he, a corrupt officialdom, will be forced by Bai Laoqi to become a clean government official.

Then Bai Laoqi died suddenly. Don't get me wrong. Lei Min was not happy at all. He was so scared that he couldn't sleep well these days. Xiao Zhen was a character who didn't want to suffer. His confidant was killed in Huzhou, and this was Long Yiwei's death.

The first thousand households to be murdered in the entire Hongwu Dynasty.

With Xiao Zhen's temperament, the next step must be a bloody revenge.

Therefore, as soon as Song Zheng took office, Lei Minzhi was very "cooperative" and acted obediently as if he were Song Zheng's subordinate. And Song Zheng's behavior during the half day after he took office also made Lei Minzhi confirm his judgment: Xiao Zhen was going to

A killing spree.

At the banquet at Yueyue Tower, he brought all the officials of the sixth rank and above in Huzhou, and ordered all the servants in the Jiaofang Division to come and accompany the banquet, making sure to satisfy the young Qianhu.

Among young people, there may be a few who can remain calm in the face of power and wealth, but none of them can remain calm in the face of beauty.

On the way here, Song Zheng had ordered Chen Baihu to report Lei Minzhi's situation and got to know him somewhat.

He let the ceremonial guard march slowly and arrived at Yaoyue Tower a quarter of an hour later than the agreed time. Lei Minzhi had already brought all the officials of fifth rank and above to greet him at the door.

After entering, as expected, Lei Minzhi specially selected four fourteen-year-old nobles. Each of them was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. They had beautiful faces and swaying waists like willows.

Lei Minzhi felt that it was impossible for a man in this world not to be tempted.

"Those who are not tempted are either not men, or they like Mr. Rabbit." This is what Lei Minzhi said to his followers in private.

But after Song Zheng came in, he glanced at the four little girls without a second glance. He took the initiative to raise his wine glass and said to everyone: "Thank you for your kindness."

Everyone quickly raised their glasses in support. But after drinking this glass, Song Zheng put down his glass and left the table: "Master Lei, can we have a secret room conversation?"

Lei Minzhi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly nodded and followed: "Yes, Lord Qianhu, come with me."

Song Zheng got straight to the point and asked: "I have read the file. Master Bai had already made a plan to investigate Yin Yang Shuiyan, and he was killed three days before the plan was implemented."

This plan was discussed with Lei Minzhi, and he needed the cooperation of the state government office.

Lei Minzhi quickly distanced himself from the relationship: "It is absolutely impossible for Xiaguan to leak the secret. Lord Bai died on Xiaguan's land. What good is it for Xiaguan? Lord Xiao will not let me go."

Song Zheng nodded: "I want to implement this plan immediately. Can it be done?"

Lei Minzhi gritted his teeth: "No problem, when are you going to Tai Chi Lake?"

"Now."

"Now..." Lei Minzhi thought he heard wrongly, and was about to object, but it was already night. Song Zheng said gloomily: "I don't want to be killed in bed after setting a time for action in advance.

!”

So just leave.

This sentence frightened Lei Minzhi so much that he did not dare to delay. He gritted his teeth and nodded again: "No problem, I will accompany you for a while."

"Okay." Song Zheng said calmly: "Sir, please ride in the same car with me."

Lei Min was stunned. Apparently Master Qianhu still didn't trust him. He didn't dare to resist and followed Song Zheng out to get in the car. He asked cautiously halfway: "Sir, do you not need the state government's Yamen to block Taiji Lake?"

Song Zheng has been sitting upright since he got in the car, leaning on a desk, spreading out the files and reviewing them carefully. Although he is not young, he has a calm demeanor that has been tempered by life and death. When Lei Minzhi talks to him, he subconsciously lowers his voice.

sound.

Hearing Lei Minzhi's question, Song Zheng didn't even raise his eyes and said: "Tonight, my lord only needs to call for the city gate to be opened, and Long Yiwei will take care of everything else.

I'll ask your Excellency to send back the official document early tomorrow morning, and order the government officials to cooperate."

Lei Minzhi nodded to express his understanding: This young Qianhu acted very cautiously, and tried to avoid leaks to the greatest extent possible.

Song Zheng developed this habit under the sky fire. The first principle of the plan is: save his life.

Song Qianhu's ceremonial guard arrived at the city gate. At this time, all the city gates had already been closed, and even the city defense formation had turned on 30% of its power as usual to monitor the surrounding night sky.

But Lei Minzhi came forward and the city gate opened smoothly.

When they left the city, Lei Minzhi saw that Chen Baihu had led all the captains of the Baotao Guard, and the warriors were waiting outside the city. There were eight hundred people, which was more than enough to go out near the closed Yin Yang Water Eye at night.

Chen Baihu did not go to the banquet with Song Zheng. Song Zheng sent him halfway to lead all the soldiers of Ti camp out of the city first.

The team met up and headed straight to Taiji Lake. The carriage was rickety, and the scroll Song Zheng was looking at was the result of the monster's autopsy presented by several ghosts.

Lei Minzhi was sitting aside looking bored. He was curious about what Song Zheng was looking at, but he didn't dare to stretch his neck to peek.

Song Zheng remained motionless and suddenly asked: "Master Lei, is there something ghostly in your heart?"

"Ah?" Lei Minzhi waved his hand quickly: "How could it be? I have always been timid."

Song Zheng closed the scroll and looked at him intently, which made Lei Min's heart tremble.

"What does Mr. Lei know about the Yin Yang Water Eye?" he suddenly asked.

Lei Minzhi answered bravely: "Your Majesty, who knows the official, must also know. After Taizu established the cauldron, it is said that the Heavenly Master and the God of War finally retired to the shores of Taiji Lake.

In the following hundreds of years, capable people from all over the world came to Taiji Lake to find out what was going on, trying to figure out why the God of War, who was said to be able to secretly spy on the secrets of the universe, finally retired to Taiji Lake.

Later, a wandering sorcerer saw through the key and concluded that Taiji Lake is the location of the "Dragon Eye" of our Hongwu Empire, and it is the most critical location on the dragon vein of the dynasty.

The Yin and Yang Water Eye is the most important location in the entire Taiji Lake. It can be called the ‘eye of heaven and earth’ and the ‘eye of gathering treasures’. It is said that it can directly reflect the national destiny of the Hongwu Celestial Dynasty.

The more treasures ejected from the yin and yang water eyes, the more prosperous the country will be."

"I don't know anything about other things. It's just that when I took office, His Majesty told me earnestly in the Golden Palace that I must take good care of my Chaolongyan for him. In the past ten years since I came to Huzhou,

I dare not forget the Holy Instructions at all times, work conscientiously, and work hard..."

"Okay." Song Zheng interrupted impatiently: "How can I, the Long Yi Guards, not know how Mr. Lei is doing as an official?"

Lei Minzhi closed his mouth in embarrassment, and a vast aura of water spirit came from the front, indicating that Tai Chi Lake had arrived.

Song Zheng got off the carriage, and Chen Baihu came forward and presented a treasure to him: "Your Excellency, with this talisman, you can call upon the Blazing Dragon at any time."

Song Zheng collected the talisman, and another member of the family came forward to report: "Sir, the building and boat are ready."
