No taboos

Chapter 369 Taking Advantage of Someone's Kindness (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
“It can’t be Xu Gou!” Gao Wanli immediately denied the guess.

Gao Wanli felt that she had not given Xu Yuan any clues.

Xu Yuan should have no chance of finding out about himself, so he left the city overnight and killed all the evil spirits.

If Gao Wanli put herself in Xu Yuan's shoes, she would definitely not be able to find out either.

Another point is that this bizarre world has many incredible methods, such as "algorithms," which can find the mastermind behind the murder without any clues.

However, Gao Wanli used blood samples to "isolate" the virus in advance.

Even with the most sophisticated "algorithms," the final result is still just bloodline.

It's also difficult to attribute this further to Gao Wanli.

Besides, if you were to say that the case happened today, it would be reasonable for Xu Yuan to have someone do a divination.

Since he hadn't even started yesterday, what reason did Xu Yuan have to calculate it?
Gao Wanli then fell silent.

After inspecting Dongzha Village, Xu Yuan and his group went to the next village.

Gao Wanli followed without saying a word.

This time, Xu Yuan didn't chase her away.

Gao Wanli inspected all seven villages, even more thoroughly than Xu Yuan.

He had painstakingly planned a brilliant scheme, only to have it inexplicably and inexplicably vanish into thin air!
A good night's sleep and a good mood this morning have all been ruined.

Full of expectations, but ultimately completely disappointed.

This feeling...

It's like spending countless efforts to finally win over a handsome and well-endowed gigolo, only to have him ejaculate just as you're about to sit on him and enjoy the pleasure.

Gao Wanli's face was so gloomy it looked like you could wring water out of it.

However, Gao Wanli also saw certain things but did not make a fuss.

She realized that these seven villages were not actually saved by one person.

There should be two people.

One of them practiced the "Dragon Transformation Technique"!
That person will only take action when encountering evil spirits related to "dragons".

Without a doubt, this person is cultivating using the method of "bait".

Furthermore, it can be concluded that this person's "Dragon Transformation Technique" is of dubious origin.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be trying so hard to minimize the number of times he takes action.

Gao Wanli recalled the other two tasks she had undertaken when she came to Champa.

If it weren't for these two tasks, and the huge benefits promised by her backers, she would definitely have switched cities if she hadn't won the position of "Law Master" in Champa.

Xu Yuan gently cracked his whip: "Alright, let's go back to the city. Jia Yi, when you get back, organize the case files."

"As ordered."

Gao Wanli did not leave, but said to Xu Yuan, "Such a big thing happened last night, and there may be evil spirits attacking tonight. We must be on guard."

"Does Lord Gao wish to stay?"

"Yes, I'll take some people to stay in the village for one night. That way, it will be easier to send reinforcements from outside the city if something happens in another village."

Xu Yuan waved his hand dismissively: "Then you can stay."

Xu Yuan led his men away.

Gao Wanli stared at his back, making no attempt to hide the hatred in her eyes.

"We must connect the 'Dragon Transformation Technique' with Xu Yuan!"

“The Fu family members are narrow-minded and vindictive.”

"Regardless of whether there is conclusive evidence, as long as it is discovered that the loss of the 'Dragon Transformation Technique' may be related to Xu Yuan, we will definitely kill him to silence him!"

Gao Wanli stayed behind, certainly not to protect these commoners.

She then carefully examined the villages that showed signs of the "Dragon Transformation Technique".

Persistence pays off, and she finally discovered the traces left by Lord Xu that pointed to Ghost Witch Mountain.

Gao Wanli was overjoyed!
What she didn't know was that even if she hadn't embellished the story, the Fu family wouldn't have let Xu Yuan off the hook.

Fu Shuanghui's death was inextricably linked to Xu Yuan.

The Fu family did not tell Gao Wanli all the information they had.

……

Xu Yuan returned to the government office, where Miao Yu and Zhu Zhanlei came to find him for drinks. The meeting place was Baiyue Pavilion.

Xu Yuan felt a pang of guilt for some reason and refused to go no matter what!
In the end, the two could only drag Shi Bading away.

Shi Bading looked unwilling and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no..."

But it slips on its feet, and it can be pulled away easily.

Xu Yuan had dinner with Aunt Wang. His stepmother had locked herself in her room, and it seemed that the fourth-rate craftsmanship was quite difficult to produce.

Now Master Xu doesn't need to wash the dishes anymore; the filial sons and grandsons of Third Sister will take care of them.

However, today Miao Yan cautiously said to Lord Xu, "Sir, our Third Sister's Restaurant will be opening in a few days. Would you do me the honor of joining us?"

He quickly added, "It's not far from the government office, it's just on the street ahead."

Xu Yuan nodded in agreement: "Okay."

Miao Yan was overjoyed: "Thank you, sir!"

Just as he was about to leave, Xu Yuan called him back: "Send out some news secretly, saying that things have calmed down in Champa, and let the Pingtian Society open another branch."

Miao Yan burst out laughing, understanding what the adult wanted to do, and patted his chest, saying, "Don't worry, I've got it covered."

Xu Yuan nodded: "Go ahead."

After Miao Yan left, Xu Yuan went back to his room to rest.

If you use underhanded tactics to lure the Fu family here, you will inevitably get yourself involved.

Lord Xu had anticipated this.

This is something that can't be avoided.

I just don't know if the people from the Fu family who came this time will be fifth-rate or even higher fourth-rate.

……

The next morning, Gao Wanli hurriedly returned to the city.

Even though Gao Wanli requisitioned the best house in that dilapidated village, she still found it very uncomfortable to live in.

I don't want to stay even a moment longer.

Of the two subordinates Gao Wanli took out, only Mr. Lu was brought back today.

Mr. Jiang disappeared with Gao Wanli's secret letter.

Three days later, a fast ship came from Zhengzhou and docked at the pier outside the city.

This ship is different from the usual fast steamships of the Ming Dynasty; some of its designs are in a foreign style.

Their speed is indeed faster than that of the Ming Dynasty.

This attracted a crowd of onlookers at the dock.

However, no one could get close enough to watch, because the river supervisor and Gao Wanli had been waiting at the dock early in the morning.

The river supervisor instructed the canal gang to send hundreds of people to maintain order.

All onlookers were kept a hundred feet away.

Moreover, the people on the ship made a grand entrance. When they disembarked, two martial arts practitioners led dozens of servants to pull open two long brocade curtains on both sides, and onlookers could only roughly see a figure inside.

The man, hidden behind a brocade curtain, walked directly into a sedan chair carried by four men.

He Jian and Gao Wanli were only qualified to accompany him outside the sedan chair.

Those lowly people on the docks weren't even qualified to look at them.

The sedan chair was carried all the way into the Grand Canal government office. After the canal supervisor cleared the area, the person inside the sedan chair leisurely stepped out.

It wasn't because she was exceptionally beautiful, but because she was shedding her skin!
Seventy to eighty percent of its scales had fallen off, and there were vertical cracks on its skin, running from its forehead all the way down to its neck!

Although judging from her facial features, this woman should be stunningly beautiful, but her current appearance is truly terrifying.

"Please come in, Your Excellency." The river supervisor was cautious, bowing and keeping his head down, not daring to look at her.

The woman entered the hall and pointed at Gao Wanli, saying, "Tell me about the situation."

Gao Wanli embellished the story, emphasizing the "suspicion" surrounding Xu Yuan.

The woman's eyes had a grayish-blue tint, but she was unaffected by Gao Wanli.

He tapped his fingers lightly on the table a few times, pondered for a moment, and then instructed his personal maid: "Rongrong, take the ticket and ask Master Ruan Tian what he means by hiding people who secretly practice our 'Dragon Transformation Technique' in Ghost Witch Mountain."
The Dragon King has ignored him for years, and he's gotten all arrogant and overbearing!
