People are in Yaowu, starting from the mountain god panel

Chapter 41 Investigation
Today's Changhe Town seems extremely deserted.

When Ye Changan returned to this town after half a month, he felt as if he had been in another world.

Aunt Zheng came back with him, and he frowned and asked, "Aunt Zheng, I told Uncle Zheng not to go to the mountains before, why didn't you listen?"

Aunt Zheng's face was full of misery: "Just a few days ago, the Xu family raised the rent by another [-]%. We really can't afford it, so Lao Zheng had to go to the mountains."

Ye Changan sighed softly and stopped talking.

I don’t know how many people will be forced to death by the Xu family’s actions.

"It's really vicious."

The early snow caused the grain harvest to fail, and the farmers had little surplus. Now the Xu family has raised the rent, which is simply killing the goose that lays the eggs, and not wanting to live.

Ye Changan frowned. He always felt that there must be a deeper reason behind it.

Although he didn't have much contact with the Xu family, Xu Nan, the third young master, was not someone to be trifled with.

Otherwise, do you really think that anyone can make a strange woman like Sister Liu miserable with just one dandy?

"That's all, it's better to find Uncle Zheng first."

Orion Zheng is an honest man who cares about face. He must have decided not to go to Ye Changan to borrow money again, so he chose to go hunting in the mountains.

Ye Changan sighed in his heart, maybe this is his fate.

After he learned from Aunt Zheng that Uncle Zheng had gone to Erdaogou, he contacted Lao Lang and asked him to help search.

Ye Changan was even more confused when he heard that he had gone to Erdaogou.

He has been to every inch of the mountains and forests there, so there shouldn't be any danger.

The biggest danger is Lao Lang, and Lao Lang will definitely not take action against Orion Zheng.

He suddenly remembered that Li Tan had told him about the disappearance cases a few days ago, and for no reason connected Zheng Orion's disappearance with those cases.

If that's the case, Zheng Orion may be in trouble.

Ye Changan thought that Li Tan should be at the inn in Changhe Town these days.

After saying goodbye to Aunt Zheng, he went straight to the inn.

If it were anyone else, he would never take this risk, but Orion Zheng was kind to him, and Ye Changan couldn't turn a blind eye.

Soon we arrived at the inn.

As soon as Ye Changan walked to the gate, he saw Li Ta discussing something with several other officials.

Li Tan also saw Ye Changan, and he was surprised and said: "Chang'an, why did you come back to Changhe Town?"

Ye Changan did not hide anything and told everything about Zheng Orion.

One of the older officials muttered: "Including the nearby towns, more than [-] people have disappeared, and this Zheng Orion should also"

Ye Changan was already prepared, but he did not intend to give up easily.

Li Tan introduced: "Chang'an, this is Zhang Fang, Zhang Baotou of the county government. Brother Zhang, this is the Ye Changan I mentioned to you."

A group of officials had all heard the word Ye Changan, and they couldn't help but look at the young man in front of them.

A member of the Blood Wolf Sect, he is still an outer disciple, and his status is much higher than those of low-ranking officials like them.

It's not that they don't want to find work in the four major families or the Blood Wolf Clan, but the requirements of these forces are too high.

The disciples of the Blood Wolf Sect are famous for their elite selection. Not to mention the handyman disciples, they are not even qualified to become the lowest peripheral disciples.

When Zhang Captou heard that he was from the Blood Wolf Sect, he was immediately in awe: "It is really a blessing for the people of Changhe Town to have the experts from the Blood Wolf Sect to help."

Ye Changan waved his hand: "This is my personal private matter and has nothing to do with the Blood Wolf Sect."

Zhang Captou chuckled and said, "Then I have to admire my little brother's chivalry and courage."

After that, Capt. Zhang continued to lead the officials to analyze the case, while Ye Changan listened.Zhang Fang did have two tools to become the head catcher. He sorted out the entire case and the lives of more than 30 people very clearly.

Even Ye Changan, who was listening to it for the first time, could immediately understand the ins and outs of the entire disappearance case.

Zhang Captou said with a serious expression: "But the only thing I don't understand is, how did that person travel thousands of miles to kill people in a few days?"

As he said, this incident has alarmed not only one county government, but also similar situations in several other villages and towns near the mountain.

Li Ta bit his lips tightly and couldn't help but say: "Brother Zhang, this is simply not what we can do."

He was interrupted by Captain Zhang when he was halfway through his words: "We are agents, this is our duty."

"But."

"No buts."

Li Ta had no choice but to lower his head unwillingly, and Zhang Captou lamented: "I know what you are thinking, but this case has already involved four major families. If we don't care, we will not be the only ones involved. .”

For a moment, the station hall was eerily quiet.

Ye Changan did not speak because his judgment was consistent with Zhang Captou.

Although he has a good relationship with Li Ta, if the Li family is really liquidated by the four major families, he cannot guarantee that he can protect the Li family.

After all, he is just an ordinary outer disciple of the Blood Wolf Sect.

Unless you are willing to expose your eighth-grade strength, it will only cause greater trouble.

Just when the situation reached a deadlock, an Orion broke into the inn.

Ye Changan recognized at a glance that this person was Hu Ming, the eldest son of the Hu family.

Hu Ming gasped for breath: "Sir, it's not good. When we were searching on the mountain, we found an abandoned temple. We didn't expect to see a corpse at the door."

Zhang Captou narrowed his eyes slightly: "Let's go, take us there."

Hu Ming: "Okay!"

With the manpower of the government, it was impossible to search the mountain, so they had to pay hunters from surrounding towns to help search.

This is also the only benefit after being paid attention to by the four major families, that is, the funds are sufficient.

Many mountain people and hunters who couldn't survive came to work spontaneously. As long as they had money, many people would rush to do even the most dangerous jobs.

All the officials set off towards the mountains, and Ye Changan also followed them.

Soon he discovered that this was the way to Erdaogou.

His heart couldn't help but sink, "That's all, let's do our best and obey fate."

Hu Ming was very familiar with this mountain. After half an hour, the group finally appeared in front of the deserted temple.

Ye Changan has some impressions here. He passed by this temple many times when he was looking for precious medicine.

Zhang Captou took the lead and walked up. Sure enough, there was a corpse lying at the entrance of the temple. Perhaps it was because he had just died and there was no sign of decay.

Ye Changan walked to the temple and looked at the corpse. The worst happened, the deceased was Zheng Orion.

For a moment a feeling of sadness welled up in his heart.

"Good people don't live long, but bad people live for thousands of years. It's really ridiculous."

He couldn't help but think of the honest man who was happier returning the food than borrowing it.

Ye Changan stepped forward, intending to carry away Zheng Orion's body. Although he failed to save him, he at least wanted to let him bury him in peace.

Li Tan sighed: "I'm sorry, Chang'an."

The moment Ye Changan picked up the body, he suddenly saw a red light floating deep in the temple.

He just felt like the hairs on his hair were exploding, as if he was falling into the abyss!
