This martial artist just wants to be an official

Chapter 237 Clues
After Lu Yuanzhi thought about it, he stood up instantly. He did not doubt the words of the man in front of him.

Since this place is related to the Tongjiu Trading Company, then what Lu Qifeng asked about the merchant ship...

Wouldn’t it be exposed?

Lu Yuanzhi didn't have time to think about the message and said, "I'll take the first step."

After saying that, he disappeared into the room in a flash.

"Lu Qifeng!!"

As soon as Lu Yuanzhi went out, he shouted.

He wanted to call Lu Qifeng out before he asked questions.

Lu Yuanzhi's voice was not quiet, and there were still echoes in this passage.

"Come out quickly, we have something important to discuss."

Lu Yuanzhi squinted his eyes. He was not sure which room Lu Qifeng entered.

After saying what he said, he wanted to push the door open and come in. He had to look for it. Sitting back and waiting was never his style.

He didn't know what the consequences would be if he forced his way into these houses, but he knew that if Lu Qifeng was not stopped in time, the Jinwu Guard's Zhonglang General and the imperial court official would most likely expose the purpose of his trip.

Just as he was about to push the door open, the door of a room next to him squeaked open.

Lu Yuanzhi looked at it intently, and Lu Qifeng looked at him with confusion.

"What's wrong, Brother Lu?"

Seeing that Lu Qifeng didn't look like he had been here for a long time, Lu Yuanzhi breathed a sigh of relief and said seriously:
"Go first."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked out.

"it is good."

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's solemn expression, Lu Qifeng didn't dare to say anything at the moment and just followed Lu Yuanzhi.

The two left this haunted house. After walking for a long time, Lu Qifeng couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart, "What on earth is going on, Brother Lu? Why did you call me in such a hurry?"

Lu Yuanzhi saw that he had gone far away and said immediately:

"I just asked around the house. I didn't say anything clearly, I just asked a few simple questions."

"This Wanshi Haunted House is very likely to be closely related to Tongjiu Company. I was afraid that the questions you asked would expose us, so I called you out."

Lu Yuanzhi explained it very clearly.

But after Lu Yuanzhi finished speaking, the corners of Lu Qifeng's mouth twitched twice, and he looked at Lu Yuanzhi dissatisfied:
"Brother Lu, is it possible that Lu is so ignorant of the priorities of things in your mind?"

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at him unexpectedly: "Is it possible that Brother Lu noticed something?"

"Of course!"

Lu Qifeng did not hesitate and said slowly: "I just asked a few simple questions and did not reveal anything about Tongjiu Trading Company. This place is too suspicious, so I paid some attention."

"So... I misunderstood Brother Lu."

Lu Yuanzhi didn't expect that Lu Qifeng, as a general, would have such a careful side.

"It doesn't matter, you are also eager to solve the case, Lu understands."

Seeing that Lu Yuanzhi actually wanted to bow to him, Lu Qifeng quickly helped Lu Yuanzhi and said:

"What should we do now?"

Since this place is related to Tongjiu Company, the investigation of Tongjiu Company cannot start here.

"First go to the government office and report the matter to the princess, and ask her to make a decision."

Lu Yuanzhi pondered for a while and continued: "After all, we are a mission from the capital, and the most important thing is to protect the princess first."

"That's all it takes."

After Lu Qifeng heard Lu Yuanzhi's words, he nodded.

The two of them left the ghost market in a hurry without saying anything else.

After returning to the government office, Lu Yuanzhi also returned to his residence.

"Alright!"

As soon as he arrived at the place where he lived, he heard someone calling him from behind.

Lu Yuanzhi knew from the voice that it was his old boss Zhang Shenxing.

He looked at Zhang Shenxing who was in a hurry and said doubtfully:

"What's the matter?"

Out of habit, Lu Yuanzhi's name for Zhang Shenxing never changed.

This is also the principle of Lu Yuanzhi's conduct in life.

Not to mention eternal life will never be able to repay the kindness of support, at least the superficial efforts must be maintained.

"Li Yunpei is here."

Zhang Shenxing looked at Lu Yuanzhi solemnly.

"Yunpei?"

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes were stunned. He didn't react immediately as to why another Yunpei came.

Pei Yinlang only had six Yunpei in his entire yamen.

"plum??"

Lu Yuanzhi suddenly remembered something and asked:
"Is it the Li Yunpei who is often seen outside?"

"Yes, just a side room."

Lu Yuanzhi asked: "Where is the princess?"

"The princess is still in Prince Yu's Mansion. Li Yunpei came here to find you."

"Find me??"

Lu Yuanzhi frowned.

"Yes."

"looking for me?"

Lu Yuanzhi asked.

"I didn't say anything. Anyway, I just wanted to find you by name."

"How does he know me?"

Lu Yuanzhi frowned.

"do not know."

Zhang Shenxing also looked confused.

"..."

Lu Yuanzhi felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Li Qinglian, this name is also somewhat unknown among Dr. Pei Yin.

Just because of his specialness, it is said that he originally practiced Taoist swordsmanship.

It just seemed that something happened that caused him to turn to martial arts.

After becoming a warrior, my progress has been rapid.

From then on, a long sword became his characteristic, and he was rated as the number one guest in the world by the busybody.

But what does this have to do with Lu Yuanzhi?
He just wants to know now, why did Li Qinglian and Li Yunpei find him?

"Go and see first."

Lu Yuanzhi pondered for a while, then followed Zhang Shenxing and walked out.

The two of them didn't walk long before they came to a side hall of the government office.

"Li Yunpei, I brought it to you."

Apart from Zhang Shenxing's words being respectful, his attitude could only be described as average.

This is extremely normal in Pei Yinlang.

My boss's boss is not my boss.

Peiyinlang has always been a yamen that directly reports first.

This makes it easier to keep some secrets secret.

As for other Yunpei, if there is nothing special, they can't control other Yunpei's subordinates.

As for Lu Yuanzhi, he was nominally following Shangguan, but in fact, he had already been assigned to him by Ji Xuan.

Although no one said it explicitly, everyone could see how much Ji Gong valued Lu Yuanzhi.

"Let him in."

When the other party's voice came out, Lu Yuanzhi felt that his ears were enjoying it.

It's a feeling that comes when you hear something you like.

Okay, can you play Gongziyin with me?
This Li Yunpei's voice is indeed indescribable. Without seeing him, just hearing his voice can tell that this person is the kind of person who looks absolutely awesome.

Zhang Shenxing winked at Lu Yuanzhi.

Lu Yuanzhi nodded, then pushed the door open and entered.

When he arrived at the house, Lu Yuanzhi saw a figure with his back turned to him.

"Lu Yuanzhi, I have met Li Yunpei." Seeing this figure, Lu Yuanzhi did not hesitate. He bowed to Li Qinglian's back.

"Are you Xiao Lu Fengpei?"

The man did not look back, but looked down at his palms, wondering what he was playing with.

"It's down."

Lu Yuanzhi could feel that there was no hostility in this voice.

"Tsk, how does it feel to be famous all over the world at such a young age?"

Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lu Yuanzhi vaguely heard a hint of... gloating in Li Qinglian's voice? ? ?
Lu Yuanzhi looked up at the man in surprise, and the man had already turned around.

When he saw that face, Lu Yuanzhi felt his heart twitch slightly.

How can a grown man be prettier than a woman? ?
Lu Yuanzhi could see clearly that the face of Li Qinglian Yunpei in front of him could only be described as coquettish.

What man wouldn't be moved by those sexy peach blossom eyes?

However, Lu Yuanzhi did not forget that he was his boss. He said helplessly:

"It's just a false name, it's not what I want."

"Tsk, you are quite a person for having such thoughts."

Li Qinglian raised her eyebrows slightly, and sat leisurely opposite Lu Yuanzhi. With a flick of her hand, a chair fell in front of Lu Yuanzhi:
"sit."

"Ah."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded and sat down.

This small technique can be used by anyone after reaching the fifth-level breath gathering realm, and Lu Yuanzhi can do it easily, so it doesn't have much impact on him.

"Have you met Fleur?"

Li Qinglian looked at Lu Yuanzhi and asked with a smile on her face.

"Fleur?"

Lu Yuanzhi frowned.

"Pei Yinlang's secret agent planted in the ghost market."

Li Qinglian saw the expression on Lu Yuanzhi's face, chuckled, and explained to Lu Yuanzhi.

"Oh."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded suddenly and said, "I've seen it before."

"How's the case going?"

Li Qinglian asked.

"no progress."

Lu Yuanzhi sighed helplessly: "In the huge city of Hangzhou, investigating a case, for me now, is like finding a needle in a haystack."

This is not to say that Lu Yuanzhi is belittling himself. The Disciplinary Committee has thoroughly investigated the cases of children's mysterious deaths. Lu Yuanzhi really has a headache without manpower.

"I came to see you this time just for this case. Ji Gong asked me to fully cooperate with you in investigating the case."

Li Qinglian looked at Lu Yuanzhi with interest and asked, "Do you have any clues?"

Lu Yuanzhi thought about it and felt that since Ji Gong asked someone to cooperate with him, he must still have a good relationship with the other party. He nodded;

"I'm going to start investigating from the Dao Gate first."

"Oh?"

Hearing Lu Yuanzhi's words, a glint flashed in Li Qinglian's eyes.

Lu Yuanzhi's words were very popular with him.

"Why? Why?"

Li Qinglian looked at Lu Yuanzhi seriously.

"Similar things happened in Beijing..."

Lu Yuanzhi decided that it would be better to tell the matter.

Then, he told what happened to the young monk Yingchen.

"A blinding method..."

Li Qinglian's eyes flickered slightly.

Obviously thinking about something.

After a while, Li Qinglian looked up at Lu Yuanzhi again and said seriously:
"This case is indeed related to Daomen."

"Ok?"

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes gleamed: "Sir, why do you say this?"

Seeing Lu Yuanzhi's serious look, Li Qinglian laughed. He did not talk about the case immediately, but praised:
"You are astute."

Then, he also put away his smile and said seriously:
"Because after investigation, except for Hangzhou, similar things have happened in other places, including Jianzhou, Luzhou, and the entire Southeast Road."

Lu Yuanzhi was secretly horrified after hearing this.

It seems that the person behind this case has a big conspiracy! !
"I just didn't expect that those people would dare to take action in the capital. They are really bold."

There was a hint of danger in Li Qinglian's eyes.

"anything else?"

Lu Yuanzhi didn't want to hear Li Qinglian's emotions, he only cared about the case.

"After gathering the information of so many children, I discovered a pattern."

Oh?
Hearing the news, Lu Yuanzhi's spirit was lifted. If there are patterns, there are clues. If there are clues, the case can be solved.

This is an iron law. As long as you find the pattern, you can find the murderer's purpose from the pattern.

"What rule?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Li Qinglian solemnly.

Li Qinglian saw Lu Yuanzhi leaning forward involuntarily. It was obvious that Lu Yuanzhi attached great importance to the case, and he admired Lu Yuanzhi's attitude in handling matters.

So he didn't go around in circles and said naturally:

"Although these children are of different ages, they have one thing in common. Their birthdays are between August [-]th and August [-]th."

Between August [-]th and August [-]th? ?

When Lu Yuanzhi heard this clue, he frowned subconsciously.

"Is this directly related to your suspicion of Taoism?"

Lu Yuanzhi looked at Li Qinglian and asked.

The reason why I doubted the Taoist sect was because a young monk happened to break through it and discovered the blinding method.

If I remember correctly, the Yunpei named Li Qinglian in front of me has no direct clues.

"Tsk, don't you believe me?"

When Li Qinglian saw Lu Yuanzhi asking this question, she sensitively sensed a hint of suspicion in Lu Yuanzhi's heart. However, he was not angry, but smiled and said:

"Don't forget, I come from a Taoist sect, and I still know some of the Taoist sect's cultivation methods."

"I have no doubts about Li Yunpei, I am just curious about this matter."

At this time, Lu Yuanzhi began to make up for his slight gaffe.

"Ha ha."

Li Qinglian smiled noncommittally and looked at Lu Yuanzhi seriously:

"I don't know if you have noticed, but every year from August [-]th to August [-]th, these two days are the fullest moon in the evening."

Lu Yuanzhi complained helplessly.

Of course I know.

In my hometown, August [-]th is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so we have to eat moon cakes.

There is no Mid-Autumn Festival in Dayong, and the festivals in Dayong are actually different from those in previous lives.

Some Lu Yuanzhi is still easily confused even now. .

"I did notice that."

Lu Yuanzhi nodded solemnly and said: "I don't know the moon, so I call it a white jade plate. I noticed it when I was young."

"Tsk, as Ji Gong said, you are quite talented in poetry."

Li Qinglian listened to the two lines of poetry that Lu Yuanzhi said subconsciously, tasted them and praised them.

"Uh...Li Yunpei, this is not the time to dwell on this..."

Lu Yuanzhi glanced at Li Qinglian helplessly.

Because of Li Qinglian's attitude, Lu Yuan subconsciously started to speak more freely.

There is really no way to describe the affinity among people...

"People call the [-]th day of August every year the night of the full moon, and in Taoism, it has another name."

Li Qinglian looked at Lu Yuanzhi calmly.

"Oh?"

Lu Yuanzhi's eyes flashed and he asked:
"What nickname?"
