The emperor was a little unhappy. He summoned the governor of Jingzhao and asked him to solve the case within a time limit. He also ordered the people in the capital not to discuss the evil spirits anymore. How could these ignorant people know that it was not Taoist priests who were exorcising evil spirits and were being attacked?

If Lianyi knew the emperor's inner thoughts, he would definitely think that there was something wrong with the emperor's brain circuit.

The governor of Jingzhao did not want to disobey the emperor, but he was very smart. He said sincerely:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this veteran will definitely get to the bottom of this matter, but it's hard to suppress the rumors of evil ways. After all, people are more vocal than Fangchuan. The more you don't let them talk, maybe the rumors will become more powerful." .

In the opinion of the veteran, if we want to stop the rumors, it is best for a qualified immortal master to go to the scene to check and give an excuse to refute the rumors. Moreover, if there is really evil, the immortal master can also take action to eliminate it, so as not to affect His Majesty. The great cause of immortality. "

The old emperor thought rightly, how could he let evil spirits grow under his nose, so he assigned his alchemy team a mission to inspect the Li Mansion, which had become the scene of a murder.

These Taoist priests usually meditate, brag, and make elixirs, but they are not that great at removing evil spirits. However, the emperor has spoken. In order to prosper in the future, they finally sent a representative to accompany the governor of Jingzhao to the Li Mansion. Check.

The Taoist priest who was pushed out was the most insignificant among them. His alchemy skills were not very good on weekdays, and he was not very good at flattering people. He was quite active in eating. In their opinion, he was just a mess. .

But it was not easy for them to expose them. After all, they were considered colleagues. In the end, Taoist Wuyou got a job as a handyman. If there was insufficient manpower, he would fill in. Now, the job of assisting Jingzhao Prefecture to quell the rumors came naturally. fell on his head.

Wuyou was meditating with his eyes closed when he heard the little Taoist boy's report. He opened his eyes, straightened the gray robe on his body, put his peach wood sword on his back, and held a fly whisk in his hand, seemingly carrying him with him. The little Taoist boy walked out of the palace gate.

After meeting the yamen officials in the Li Mansion, Taoist Wuyou was invited in. In just a few days, the entire Li Mansion had become very desolate and lifeless. The closer he got to Fanghua Garden, the more serious Wuyou's expression became. Originally, he thought it was just a formality, but it turned out that things seemed completely different from what she expected.

Until Wuyou saw the formations outlined with purple bloodstains on the ground in Fanghua Garden, he immediately stepped up and jumped onto the rockery nearby. Looking down from above, his brows were so furrowed that they could knot into knots.

The government servants on the side were a little surprised. They did not expect that this humble Taoist priest was very skilled. In order to paint the scene, he had to spend a lot of effort to climb up the rockery.

After Wuyou finished reading, he jumped off the rockery again. His landing posture was light and elegant. He directly asked the yamen servant:

"I want to see the body!"

"It has been sent back to the government office."

The officer replied directly.

Wuyou nodded, without saying much, and left the Li Mansion with the little Taoist boy. In order to confirm his guess, he wanted to see the body.

"Master, is there something wrong?"

The little Taoist boy was only five or six years old, with short legs and a short body. He was running around to keep up with Wuyou's pace, and he didn't forget to ask in a low voice.

"You have to see the body first to be sure. Don't go in for a while. Wait for me outside."

Wuyou was not impatient and replied to his young apprentice's words.

"Yes, master!"

A quarter of an hour later, Priest Wuyou stood in front of Jingzhao Mansion. After greeting Fu Yin, he went directly to the place where the corpse was parked.

Wu Zuo was also a little overweight at this time. After examining corpses for so many years, he had never seen anything like this. There was only a white bone left, and nothing else was left. However, the bones were still so intact.

After turning people into this overnight, all he could think of were ghosts and gods, so after scribbling down no fatal injuries, he put the dozens of corpses in a separate room. He was really scared to death.

After Taoist Wuyou arrived, Wu Zuo cooperated very well and immediately led people to the morgue, muttering:

"Taoist Priest, these people are in danger of dying. I hope Taoist Priest can help resolve their grievances so that they don't disturb others."

Wuyou didn't say much. He opened the white cloth and after seeing the bones, he knew the number in his mind. He just looked at the number of corpses and turned to ask Wu Zuo:

"Only this?"

"Well, it's all here, including the Taoist nun's corpse. The governor asked me to put it alone, saying that this case was difficult to investigate, so it wasn't mixed with other corpses."

"Do you have any pictures of the scene?"

"Yes, I will find it for you right now."

Wu Zuo immediately turned around, exited the place where the corpse was stored, and went to find the map of the scene.

Wuyou just made the seal at this time, as if he wanted to summon something from these corpses, but unfortunately a breeze blew by, and nothing came.

"Taoist Priest, these are the on-site drawings, please take a look."

Wu Zuo presented a somewhat yellowed book, and he happened to turn to the page with the murder scene map of Li Mansion.

After Wuyou read it, he directly clicked on the center of the strange pattern and asked:

"There are no corpses here?"

"No."

"Is there anyone missing in Li's house?"

"Yes, they said they were going to hold their cousin's haircut ceremony the next day. They took her cousin into the house the day before. Unfortunately, after the incident, the cousin disappeared!"

"Please tell me in detail."

"Don't be surprised, Taoist priest. The old man is only responsible for the autopsy. These are the affairs of the government officials. You have to ask them to know the details."

Wuyou nodded, knowing that he had asked the wrong person, so he went directly to Fu Yin.

Fu Yin was a little confused. Didn't he agree to find a Taoist priest to go through the motions and quell the rumors? Why did Taoist Wuyou seem to be more active than them.

The governor still called for the yamen and answered all Wuyou's questions. Finally, he looked at the Taoist priest who was deep in thought and asked:

"Priest Wuyou, do you think there is something wrong with this cousin? Is this all her fault?"

"There are two possibilities, she is the victim, or she is the perpetrator. And from beginning to end, all the people in the capital who have heard of this cousin have never seen this lady with their own eyes. They must have seen the maids and women around her. That’s all.”

"The yamen officer went to ask. The housekeeper Li who brought the cousin to the capital had met with Mrs. Li. However, Mrs. Li had been sold by the master's family long ago because of poor performance. As for where she was sold, it has not been found yet.

When we asked another manager, Li, he said that he had met his cousin Wu Lianyi, but when asked to describe her appearance, he could not explain why. "

"A simple blindfold can be done, and what Manager Li sees may not be the cousin's true appearance."

After Wuyou said quietly, he stood up and left. He was also a little undecided now. He wanted to inform his uncle.

Three days later, an immortal with gray hair and a childlike face arrived in the capital. He was respectfully invited into the palace by Wuyou and met with the emperor. Then the Taoist Priest Ziyun stayed in the palace and was named the Immortal Protector of the Country by the emperor. It was in the limelight for a while.

Wuyou, on the other hand, left the capital with his young apprentice Fengyu, chasing after Lianyi in the direction he left.
