Although he didn't know what this great collection of Confucian essays was, looking at Bai Zirou's eyes, Yishan Jin knew that it must be a good thing.
It's just that Bai Zirou has no cultivation at all now, and his opponent is Hanzhong Fuyin, a monster that even Jinshi can't deal with.
Yi Shanjin couldn't help but ask:
"Master Zhao, what is the situation with the monster you mentioned? Can you tell us in detail?"
"This matter must have started a few months ago..."
Chief Zhao quickly explained in detail.
This monster has been around for several months.
So far, nine people have been killed.
They all died at night, the circumstances of death were different, but they were all extremely miserable.
No one has seen the monster, and everyone who has seen it has died.
This monster comes and goes without a trace, and kills people without any pattern.
Kill one in Zhuangzi today, and kill one in Hanzhong next time.
But it is within the scope of Hanzhong Prefecture.
After finishing speaking, Master Zhao sighed with a sad look on his face:
"Hey, my official title is still second to none. I'm just suffering for the people of Hanzhong. They are in panic every day."
Yi Shanjin can also understand that if nine people were killed by monsters, the case would not be solved in the end.
In the performance evaluation, in Hanzhong officialdom, I am afraid that few people can pass the test.
After Bai Zirou listened, he pondered slightly and said:
"We have no ability to investigate and solve the case. If you can find the monster, we will not sit idly by and ignore it. Please rest assured, Mr. Zhao. However, we still have things to go to Chang'an, so we can only stay here
We have stayed in Hanzhong for a few days, and if we are unable to find out the whereabouts of the monster by then, there will be nothing we can do."
This can only be said politely.
It remains to be seen whether we can catch it or not.
Yishan fully understood Bai Zirou's situation and knew the master's original intention.
But Chief Zhao thought Bai Zirou had agreed, so he stood up happily and bowed solemnly.
The collected works of Confucian scholars on the case were not taken back by him, saying:
"If Fairy Bai takes action, the monster will definitely be unable to fly this time! I will report to the governor immediately and lay down a dragnet so that the monster can't escape! Zhao takes his leave!"
Yishan knew that Bai Zirou had no cultivation, and even if the monster came out, there was nothing she could do.
Most likely, after two days, he made himself agree to Chief Zhao and serve the imperial court, and then he took him on his way to Chang'an.
But in his heart, Yi Shanjin actually hopes to be able to help.
When Chief Zhao left, Yi Shanjin hesitated for a moment and was about to ask Bai Zirou if he could help.
As a result, Bai Zirou said with a smile:
"Since we have decided to leave the mortal world, there is no need to worry about the so-called cause and effect. Just follow your heart."
Yishan Jin's eyes lit up, he stood up and said:
"Master, I'm going to ask about the case. If I can help, I will. If there is really no other way, I won't show off."
"It's good for me to be measured."
Bai Zirou picked up the collection of scholarly essays in front of him and handed it to Yishan:
"You should also take this collection of Confucian essays with you. In this collection, there are scholars who are talented, ordinary little demons, and the county god. They will give you a little favor when they see them. It will save you a lot of trouble. In the future, when you learn to refine treasures,
This is an excellent material for refining treasures.”
It turns out to be the raw material for refining treasures.
Yi Shanjin collected the collected works of great Confucian scholars and stuffed them into his arms.
But as soon as I stuffed it in, I felt something soft and fluffy.
Not long after, I saw a white fox sticking its head out of Yishan Jin's arms.
Yishan completely forgot about the white fox for a moment and kept it in his arms.
Yishan tried his best to pull out the white fox, but it suddenly retracted.
There was also a squeaking sound coming from his mouth.
Don't want to come out? Then just stay inside, it will be warm anyway.
Yishan left the room, and not long after, he found Director Zhao under the post house who was about to leave.
When Master Zhao saw Yishan chasing him out, his eyes lit up, and Master Zhao cupped his hands and said:
"Fellow Daoist Yi, have you changed your mind and want to serve the imperial court?"
"Master Zhao, please give me more time to think about it. After all, this is a major event in life."
Yishan Jin waved his hand and said:
"Let's not mention this matter. I just want to ask Director Zhao if he can show me the detailed files on this case?"
Chief Zhao hesitated for a moment, but quickly nodded:
"Fellow Taoist, come with me."
It is illegal for outsiders to review case files.
But this was Chief Zhao, who took the initiative to find it and wanted Bai Zirou to help with a case involving magical monsters.
Yishan was Bai Zirou's disciple, so Master Zhao naturally thought that this was Bai Zirou's intention.
Besides, the professional level demonstrated by Yishanjing just now is still very high.
Chief Zhao did not ride a horse when he arrived, and he and Yi Shanjin walked back to the government office.
On the way, he also talked about the case in detail.
These nine people all died after being tortured very closely, and they still had a very strong aura of evil and evil worshiping in their bodies. This was also the basis for the government to judge that these nine people were all killed by monsters.
As for what is extremely close to torture.
According to Chief Zhao, to put it euphemistically, it is:
"Before death, the Yang Qi is almost exhausted."
"Yang energy exhausted? What do you mean?"
"It's just...it's almost ****..."
Hiss! This way of death is actually a little enviable.
But when Yi Shanjin got the dossier, he couldn't be envious anymore.
These nine people were all men, and their deaths were in various strange ways. Some were thrown to death, some were hanged, and some were starved to death...
But no matter what kind of death method, when they were discovered, they were all skin and bones. After inspection, they came to the conclusion——
Their skins were all frayed, and they looked like they were all romantic ghosts.
This bizarre way of death coupled with the strong atmosphere of evil and enchantment at the scene.
It is inevitable that people will suspect that there is a banshee collecting semen to replenish yin!
The subsequent investigation did indeed go in this direction.
The officials investigated and visited whether the people these nine people had contact with and the places they visited during their lifetimes overlapped.
After all, several people died in Hanzhong City.
If this monster uses magic to kidnap people, it will definitely be noticed by the Confucian scholars with supernatural powers in the city.
It is impossible for Hanzhong Fuyin, who is at least a Jinshi, not to know.
But in the past few months, apart from the place where the nine people died and the aura of evil and worship of evil spirits, where can there be any evil spirit?
So, a conclusion was drawn.
This monster must have disguised itself as a human, secretly lured the deceased out of the city, and then committed the crime.
However, the investigation reached a deadlock here.
The places these nine people went to in their lifetimes did not have any intersection.
They are completely unrelated to each other, and their close personal connections are also completely irrelevant.
There is only one thing in common.
They are all well-known in the neighborhood as good women.
Yi Shanjin frowned.
This common point covers 90% of men in one breath!
