Chapter 69
Seeing the signboard of Monster Catcher, the old bustard's expression changed instantly.

In Dayu Country, there are three very special organizations.

That is, the Sitian Supervisor, the Evil Division, and the Demon Catch Division.

These three organizations are directly under the emperor's control, and local officials can only cooperate as much as possible when doing business.

If you don't cooperate, you can make you drink a pot for any crime.

For ordinary people, the ones who have more contact with them are usually the evil and demon catching divisions.

One specializes in apprehending vicious criminals, and the other specializes in dealing with monsters and evil spirits.

In front of the two, not to mention ordinary people, even officials with a certain status will look a little uncomfortable.

After Lin Qianxing pulled the tiger's skin and showed the demon catcher's signboard, things after the bustard became more cooperative.

She directly brought Lin Qianxing to a private room, and then accepted Lin Qianxing's interrogation.

"Let me ask you, has an oiran surnamed Xiao ever died in your Chunlou?" Lin Qianxing asked.

The old bustard heard the words, her expression was a little uncomfortable, and then she said: "My lord is talking about Xiao Han, right? She has been dead for eight years, and that girl was at the peak of her life, but she insisted on elope with a scholar. , that scholar thought she was a Puliu, not good enough for him, Xiao Han hanged herself in embarrassment and grief, it's a pity, I've tried to persuade her many times, but I can't persuade her."

The story is very good, but the truth is another matter. Lin Qianxing's spirit was concentrated, and an invisible pressure shrouded the old bustard, and he asked: "What you said is true? But how did I hear that you killed me?" lost her?"

The old bustard was oppressed by Lin Qianxing's mental coercion, with an ugly expression on her face, she quickly replied: "My lord, everything I said is true, I dare not hide anything!!"

"This matter is about a great demon, if what you say is even half a lie, you will definitely make your life worse than death in the department of catching the demon!!" Lin Qianxing explained the serious relationship.

"My lord, I am a mere grassroots, how dare I deceive you, but what happened to that scholar back then is a bit strange." The old bustard said anxiously: "Before Xiao Han died, he brought a lot of gold and silver jewelry as a dowry, but when he died, These things are gone, when I collected her body, I also saw some scars on her body, maybe her death is related to that scholar."

"Then why didn't you report your doubts to the government and investigate the case?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"At that time, I also had resentment in my heart, complaining that Xiao Han's redemption wasted my years of training, and such a scandal might affect my business in Baihua Pavilion, so I didn't report it to the official." The old bustard replied.

At this time, her expression was already very ugly. Although the mental coercion did not cause any real damage, Lin Qianxing's spirit was so strong that she had difficulty breathing just by feeling the oppression.

Seeing this, Lin Qianxing put away his mental coercion and said, "Monster catcher has the ability to investigate the truth of what you say, if you lied, hum!"

"Don't dare, dare not!" The old bustard breathed heavily, and at the same time replied.

"Where is the scholar now?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"He was infected with a very special kind of willow five years ago, and died." The old bustard said after hesitating.

Lin Qianxing glanced at the old bustard suspiciously, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Isn't that dead without proof?"

"Your Excellency, you are clearly aware, I dare not lie to you!!" said the old bustard.

"I have my own discretion in this matter." Lin Qianxing got up and said, "I hope everything you said is true!"

After the sound fell, Lin Qianxing turned into purple light and left from the window.

Seeing this scene, the bustard was also taken aback. She didn't expect Lin Qianxing, who was asking questions beside her, to be such a character.

But she didn't show any abnormality on her face, she even patted her chest and murmured: "Fortunately, I told the truth, otherwise I'm afraid it will cause disaster!"

Lin Qianxing detected this scene with his spirit, and his face became thoughtful.

The bustard didn't seem to be lying, that is to say, has this really turned into a headless case?
Even if the scholar really killed Xiao Han, he is dead now, so what is there to say?
Shaking his head, Lin Qianxing turned his head and went to the government office in the county seat.

After showing the demon catcher's signboard, Lin Qianxing easily got in touch with the officials here, and even the county magistrate came to meet him in person.

When Lin Qianxing expressed that he wanted to investigate the matter of the scholar at the time, he immediately asked someone to look through the file and household registration to find the corresponding records for him to see, and even found his former friends and friends to tell Lin Qianxing about some of his life before his death. detail.

At this time, Lin Qianxing also had to sigh with emotion that this official status was really useful.

Soon Lin Qianxing learned about the three generations of the scholar's ancestors and even relatives from all walks of life.

The scholar's name is Cheng Jue, and his ancestors were also officials in the imperial court. However, in his grandfather's generation, he was involved in a major event, and was finally dismissed because of the wrong position. In Cheng Jue's generation, his ancestors' savings have been used up. He is almost the same, and he himself has not learned any skills. He is also lustful and greedy, and hangs around entertainment venues all day long.

As a result, he quickly used up his ancestral savings.

At this time, by chance, he was able to spend a spring night with the then oiran Xiao Han by relying on a poem praising the oiran.

He realized that this was an opportunity, so he disguised himself as a down-and-out scholar with great ambitions, and won Xiao Han's goodwill.

Then he went to Baihua Pavilion one after another, and quickly raised Xiao Han's favorability to a certain level, and said in due course that he had no money to use, and he could not come again.

At this time, Xiao Han also had some feelings for Cheng Jue, so he gave Cheng Jue his savings and asked him to meet him.

What happened after that was old fashioned.

Cheng Jue gradually intensified, using the excuse of studying for scientific examinations to squeeze Xiao Han step by step, and gained more benefits from him.

Even in the end, he tricked Xiao Han into redeeming himself and married him with the family assets he had accumulated over the years.

Who knew that this was a scam, Xiao Han's family property was taken away by Cheng Jue, but he was disgusted by Cheng Jue, even Cheng Jue beat Xiao Han when he left, but it was not fatal, she The scars left on his body before he hanged himself should have been left at this time.

Cheng Jue didn't seem to be ashamed of this matter, but rather proud of it. After Xiao Han's death, he showed it off to his friends for a long time, saying that these brothel girls have no brains, stupid and stupid, and they will believe it if they lie.

These are all stories told by Cheng Jue's cronies, and with other people's evidence, the credibility is extremely high.

"Speaking of which, the fact that Cheng Jue was infected with Hualiu was caused by a brothel woman named Tao Hua who couldn't understand his behavior and deliberately came to infect him." A friend of Cheng Jue said.

"You know about this?" Lin Qianxing asked.

The man hesitated for a moment, and then said: "We all know, but we all wanted to see his jokes at the time, so we didn't stop him, and didn't tell him."

"You fox friends and dog friends are really "righteous", but he deserves what he deserves." The little official who was checking the files couldn't help but said.

"Will Cheng Jue take revenge on Peach Blossom afterwards? Where is she now?" Lin Qianxing asked with some emotion.

"It's not that Cheng Jue didn't want to take revenge, but he didn't have a chance. Taohua was harmed by Hualiu's disease and had long wanted to die. After passing Hualiu to Cheng Jue, he took poison and committed suicide." Another friend of Cheng Jue said: "It's a pity to say that such a strange woman, if she doesn't die, even if she is infected with willows and dies, I am willing to spend a spring night with her."

Lin Qianxing looked at him strangely when he heard the sound.

He really doesn't understand the thinking of these vagabonds.

But things are almost cleared up here.

Xiao Han's so-called grievances are nothing more than the inhumanity he entrusted to him, which caused him to encounter many disasters, and finally he could not face the miserable life and chose to hang himself.

And the instigator, Cheng Jue, was tortured and died of illness after being retaliated by a brothel woman because of his excessive madness.

Lin Qianxing sighed, how could there be so many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in this world.

Even if there is, the probability of him encountering it is obviously not particularly high.

After taking out some gold and silver to thank the officials for their help, Lin Qianxing left the county government office and went to the dilapidated house where Meier lived.

After a short call, Mei'er quickly ran out of the house, and asked with an expectant look on her face, "Mister, can you gain something."

"I found out some things, just listen to them and see if there are any inconsistencies in your memory." Lin Qianxing said: "The thing is like this."

After a while, Lin Qianxing told Meier all the things he had investigated.

After listening, Mei'er fell into silence. After a while, she said through gritted teeth: "That Cheng Jue died so simply."

"Miss Meier, did you not investigate these matters after you became a genius?" Lin Qianxing asked with some doubts.

"Sir, I don't know. I was awakened by eating a piece of warm jade by mistake three years ago. The days of becoming mature are short. Although I have investigated Sister Xiao's past, because of my weak strength and the incident has passed for many years, I have not I didn't find any useful information." Mei'er explained.

"What are you going to do now?" Lin Qianxing asked.

"Meier promised Mister that as long as Mister investigates the truth for Sister Xiao, Meier is willing to serve as Mister's servant and servant." Meier said softly.

Lin Qianxing smiled in satisfaction, squatted down beside Meier, and stretched out his hand towards Meier's head.

Mei'er hesitated a little, but in the end she didn't dodge.

After Lin Qianxing's broad palm landed on the top of Meier's head and stroked it gently twice, a comfortable expression appeared on her face.

"Hurrrrrrrr~!"

Lin Qianxing said with a satisfied look on his face, "I usually live outside the city, and the environment there may not be suitable for you. What do you think if I buy this residence and renovate it?"

"Hulu~ Mei'er is all up to Mr. Arrangement~ Hulu~!" Meier said out loud.

Seeing the cat in this state, Lin Qianxing couldn't hold it back, hugged it into his arms, and took a deep breath.

"Sir~!" Mei'er said in surprise and shyness.

"Meier, do you have a surname?" Lin Qianxing asked while holding the cat, pretending to be calm and changing the subject.

"Since Mei'er was enlightened, she only remembered that she was called Mei'er, and she didn't have a surname." Mei'er replied.

For some reason, she always felt that her new master looked at her a little too fondly, but they had only met for less than a day!

"Why don't you have the same surname as your old master, and have a good name, so you can be called by him in the future." Lin Qianxing suggested.

"Xiao Meier?" Meier murmured.
