Chapter 396 Questioning
So Li Chuan stayed in Yunqiao Township for a few more days.

Wu Kong also followed Li Chuan back.

He originally planned to stay and then go to Lanshan Pavilion with him, firstly to eliminate harm for the people, and secondly to make money. But when Li Chuan said goodbye to him, Wen Guying asked him and Li Chuan to demonstrate again how they trapped King Baoxing.

After their demonstration, Wen Guying asked Wu Kong to go to the Four Gods Palace. He said: "When I heard you chanting sutras before, I just thought that the rhythm of the syllables was unusual. But now when the sound of the sutras and the sound of the pot match, I I feel that there is power in the rise and fall of the syllables. I can't tell what kind of power it is. If you are willing, go to the Four Gods Palace with us and let the old palace master take a look. It will be beneficial to your future practice. "

Wu Kong agreed.

After returning to Yunqiao Township again, Li Chuan's wish to lie quietly for two days was still not fulfilled. First, after drinking the Yu Clan's wine, he did feel much better. Once he felt good, he couldn't lie down and wandered around. The other is that Zhang Yuanwai and others, knowing that he is behind them, will look for him to eat.

Li Chuan picked a few and went.

Although the news of King Baoxing's death was suppressed, the fact that the soldiers had entered Qiaojiatang could not be hidden from anyone. Li Chuan heard many outrageous rumors while eating. Why is Sun Tianxi a fugitive, harboring the former royal family, and raising many dead soldiers in his family?

Of course, there are also people who know the real news, such as County Magistrate Xu. He came to visit Li Chuan specifically for this purpose.

Magistrate Xu was very surprised when he saw Wen Guying at Li Chuan's home.

"I also heard that people from Qintian Prison are here. Dr. Li, do you know?" Magistrate Xu asked.

After County Magistrate Xu got the news he wanted, he chatted for a few more words and then left.

Li Chuan was silent.

"I was there at that time," Li Chuan did not hide it. He thought for a while and said, "I can't tell the public what happened specifically now. However, in each village and town, it is best to organize the same thing as the winter before last. Some manpower, more precautions.”

After Li Chuan saw him off, he walked back into the house with a gloomy expression.

Magistrate Xu said: "The sooner the better, we can't let Lanshan Pavilion notice something is wrong."

County Magistrate Xu knew that he had guessed correctly, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Lanshan Pavilion is relatively far from Jinhong, just to the east and west, and separated by several mountains. It will probably be relatively late if it spreads here." " Then he asked: "When will Qin Tianjian plan to encircle Lanshan Pavilion?"

Magistrate Xu said: "Although the one in Ziyun Cave eats a pair of boys and girls every year, it will stop after eating and will no longer harm the people around it. Therefore, several surrounding villages take turns to eat a boy and a girl every year. People. They just paid tribute there not long ago, and it is unlikely that they will come out to harm people this month... Lanshan Pavilion has not seen much movement in recent years, but I once heard a person from the caravan say that they would rather do business from Xuan. I don’t want to get close to Lanshan Pavilion even if I go to Shuishan.”

"Why?" Li Chuan was very curious as to how County Magistrate Xu guessed it.

After chatting with Li Chuan and the others for a while, he asked, "Have you heard about what happened in Qiaojiatang? I heard that there were two monsters that flew out of the Li family's house and kept flying. After arriving very far away, Qiaojiatang was surrounded and not released until the next day.”

Wukong said: "One day, we will kill all these big monsters."

Magistrate Xu understood immediately and said, "There is another evil disaster? Which side? Lanshan Pavilion or Ziyun Cave?" Before Li Chuan could answer, he said, "It should be Lanshan Pavilion."

"In the near future." Li Chuan no longer concealed anything.

"What's wrong with you?" Wu Kong asked him.

Li Chuan: "If we can really let you chant the sutra, I'll knock the pot and trap the demons in the entire big demon territory."

"By that time, maybe you won't be able to kill even a big demon." Wen Guying said. After Magistrate Xu left, Li Chuan and Wu Kong packed up their things, picked out a few more bunches of grapes on the grape trellis that were about to ripen, and cut them off.

Afterwards, Li Chuan took out the carriage and got on it with Wu Kong. This time, Li Chuan grasped the handrail tightly. After a violent jolt and shaking, when the carriage became quiet again, they returned to their house in Sanyi Hutong.

As soon as Li Chuan stepped out of the car door, a colorful big rooster hit his face. Li Chuan dodged for a moment, but was hit by its wings. Then he heard Gong Er ask him: "Brother, you are finally back. Are you going back?" Yunqiao Township, why didn't you take us with you? My third brother and I thought you were kidnapped by a monster."

Li Chuan felt that he was innocent. He said, "I don't know either. Your senior brother Wen only told me that he wanted to try his new spell. How did I know that I would be in Yunqiao Township when I opened my eyes?"

When reviewing the past, one should stand aside calmly and look up at the sky.

The second man and the third man looked at each other, but they didn't dare to question Wen Guying.

So Li Chuan took out a bunch of freshly cut grapes and said, "These are the grapes in our backyard."

"Let me try it." Gong Er said, pecked one down, and said, "It's so sour, so sour!"

"Next year's will be sweeter," Li Chuan said.

At this time, Jin Rong came around from behind and said, "Brother Li, you are back. During these days when you were not around, they would ask me more than ten times a day where their eldest brother went. All I know is that you I followed Senior Brother Wen out, and I was able to deal with what I said at first, but after two or three days, if you still didn't show up, they insisted that you were kidnapped by monsters, and they wanted to find the master and ask him to save you. Come back. Fortunately, Master Wu Kong came not long after, and we learned that you had returned to Yunqiao Township."

He saw Wu Kong getting off the carriage and asked, "How are things going over there?"

Li Chuan said: "Supervisor He has made arrangements. When Mr. Chang arrives, he can start to exterminate the demons immediately."

"Aren't you going to participate?" Jin Rong asked.

Li Chuan shook his head and said: "I still have something to do, and I will... go there again later. By the way, how did Prince Su's trial go?"

Jin Rong said: "Let's sit down in the room and talk."

After the three people and two demons walked to the main hall and sat down, Jin Rong said: "Prince Su, the trial is very difficult."

"Can't you find out even with the methods of the Monster Hunting Department?" Wen Guying asked.

Jin Rong shook his head and said: "I have used all possible means. Prince Su, it's not that he doesn't want to say it, it's that he can't say it."

"Has someone tampered with his body?" Wen Guying asked.

"Yes, so...more extreme methods have not been used yet, but if you can't find out by asking again, then you can only use it." Jin Rong sighed lightly and said: "It's just a matter of fighting with the theater troupe to eat the souls." The relevant people have basically been arrested. The monk was also caught. He wanted to escape back to Mount Sumeru, but fortunately, the senior brother stopped him in time. "

"Is he really a disciple of Mount Sumeru?" Wen Guying asked.

"Indeed." Jin Rong said.
