hear noises;

The Taoist priest opened his eyes slightly, glanced at the token, and frowned slightly.

"I wonder who the immortal master is looking for?"

Piao Xian'er took back the token and said in a deep voice:

"The list and whereabouts of all escort personnel who have been to Yashan Ghost Market in the past three days."

The Taoist priest shook his head and said calmly:

"The Immortal Master is joking. If you want to find one or two people, I can deduce them based on their birth dates. If you are looking for a needle in a haystack, please forgive me for being helpless."

Piao Xian'er put one hand on the table and said with a playful smile:

"Taoist Wuwei, are you sure you want to play this trick? Then I will take out the criminal record and talk about it."

The Taoist priest suddenly put down his crossed legs and said with an apologetic smile:

"No, no, Pindao was just joking."

"Bangdang..."

Piao Xian'er threw a bag of silver on the table and said:

"Don't say that this girl is bullying others. This money is a reward for you according to the rules. I want to see all the information within half an hour."

"I'm waiting for you at the Huangquan Tea House in front. If you dare to play tricks, you know the consequences. There will be no place for you in the entire Cangxuan Territory."

After saying that,

Piao Xian'er took Fang Yuan away and came to the Huangquan Tea House not far away;

Fang Yuan took a sip of tea and asked curiously:

"Xian'er, who is that wretched Taoist?"

Piao Xian'er stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth and whined:

"Taoist Wuwei is the intelligence chief of Yashan Ghost Market. He specializes in the business of buying and selling intelligence. Not even the slightest disturbance in Yashan Ghost Market can escape the eyes of these people."

Ever since I went to Yashan Ghost Market with Piao Xianer;

Fang Yuan is full of curiosity about this world.

This world is so wonderful, he feels like his previous life has been in vain.

"Xian'er, I always hear you talking about this recording and that recording. How many of these are there?"

Piao Xian'er tilted her head, blinked her big eyes for a while, and counted on her fingers.

"There are many, evil demon records, evil thieves records, evil people's records, evil greed records, evil bandit records..."

"Have all the guilty people in Cangxuan Domain been registered? There are tens of billions of people, how did you do it?"

"Of course it's not all registered. It's just some of the more famous and difficult ones. This requires a very large intelligence network. Ah, I can't tell at the moment."

Fang Yuan nodded and stopped asking.

He lowered his head and played with the Nine Palaces Cube he just got.

Piao Xian'er sat down next to Fang Yuan,

"Fang Yuan, what is this? I think you like it very much."

Fang Yuan handed the cube to Piao Xian'er's hand,

"This thing is quite fun. It feels cold in your hand and feels very comfortable."

Piao Xian'er grabbed the cube, held it in her hand and felt it for a while, then pouted and said:

"I don't feel anything. It's like holding a piece of wood."

"Impossible? Why do I feel cold, like ice cubes? Is it because my body is too weak to touch this thing?"

Piao Xian'er tried it back and forth a few more times, but it didn't feel like what Fang Yuan said, so she gave up.

Fang Yuan stroked the square and liked it even more.

"This cube is so magical, from now on it will be called the Nine Palaces Magic Dice."

Piao Xian'er rolled her eyes at Fang Yuan,

"Dice? Don't lose your mind by playing with things. You promised to protect me, and you must practice hard for me. Why do you feel like I'm protecting you now? It's a huge loss."

Fang Yuan chuckled and said:

"No, no, I just can't think of a better name. As you know, I haven't been to a private school, and I don't have any ink on my chest. I don't have two bags of ink like you."

"I promised to protect you, and I will definitely practice well, but it will take a little time."

Piao Xian'er picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Fang Yuan's mouth, Yingying said with a smile:

"This is the right thing to do."

Half an hour later,

Taoist Wuwei walked quickly into the teahouse, placed a stack of leather scrolls on the table, and left quickly.

Piaoxian'er looked through the parchment for a while, stood up and patted the dust on the back table.

"Let's go and get to work. If it's too late, they will leave the city. It will be even harder to find them by then."

Fang Yuan hurriedly left with Piao Xian'er and went straight to several inns recorded in the parchment.

"boom......"

The two came to an inn, and Piao Xian'er kicked open the door and rushed in.

Fang Yuan rushed in and shouted:

"Don't move even when we send people to do things, put your head in your hands!"

Several people in the room were in panic;

They all picked up their weapons and prepared to take action, but they stopped when they saw the token in Piao Xian'er's hand.

Piao Xian'er gave Fang Yuan a look,

"Are all the people from your escort agency in the room?"

The people from the escort agency didn’t dare to hide anything and quickly replied:

"Sir, they are all here."

Piaoxian'er turned to look at Fang Yuan;

Seeing the latter shaking his head, he hurriedly took Fang Yuan away.

in this way,

The two of them kicked open the doors of no less than ten inns one after another, but still found nothing. Fang Yuan became dejected.

"Xian'er, it's too late now. I've searched so many inns but still can't find those people. Have they left Yashan Ghost Market?"

Piao Xian'er shook her head and said:

"No. Generally, escort agencies will collect customers here when they deliver goods to Yashan Ghost Market. There are a lot of goods that need to be escorted here every day, and the escort profits are much higher than those of normal escorts."

"Think about it, how much money does it cost to get from Cliff Tavern to here? It's too much of a loss to go out empty-handed."

After a pause, Piaoxian'er continued to speak:

"Another point is that the origin of the goods here is basically unknown. In order to prevent defaulters, someone must guarantee the escort. Therefore, when escorting escorts from here, they must register and line up in order to leave the market."

"The registration information I got shows that the escort agencies that went out before today were all registered five days ago. No matter how quick those people were, they only arrived the day before yesterday. It is impossible for the escorts to be sent out so quickly."

Fang Yuan nodded and said more truthfully,

"Then let's keep looking. I don't believe we can't find it."

cheer,

The two went to other inns and kept kicking in the doors.

All of a sudden, the inn in Yashan Ghost Market was in a state of chaos.

However, intimidated by the token in Piao Xian'er's hand, these innkeepers dared not speak out.

push all the way;

Soon, the two came to a place called "Ghost Inn".

Walking to the door, Piao Xian'er sniffed and frowned.

"What a strong smell of blood!"

As she said that, Piao Xian'er kicked open the door.

Inside the house, the scene was extremely bloody;

There were six or seven corpses lying on the ground. Their throats had been bitten off, and blood spurted all over the room.

Fang Yuan recognized the man leaning against the bed with a dead look on his face. He was the head escort that night.

"Oops, I'm late and I was silenced."

Immediately, Piao Xian'er summoned the store,

"Tell me everything you know, or you'll be guilty of the same crime."

The shopkeeper was frightened and cried out anxiously:

"I don't know, I don't know. An hour and a half ago, they went downstairs to have dinner, and less than an hour after they returned to their room, they were all dead."

Piaoxian'er's beautiful eyes sank slightly, and she scolded:

"Think carefully about whether anyone has been in or out of the inn within this hour."

The store owner scratched his head and thought for a while.

"I remembered that after these escorts went upstairs, two people wearing black cloaks and red wolf head masks came over. Oh, by the way, they also had wolf head patterns embroidered on their cloaks."

As soon as the store owner finished speaking, Piao Xian'er grabbed Fang Yuan's arm and ran out quickly.

The two of them ran wildly,

In half an hour, he returned to the alley where Taoist Wuwei told fortunes.

Seeing the two figures appear, Taoist Wuwei stood up in a hurry and greeted them with a smile on his face.

Piaoxian'er didn't talk nonsense and asked directly:

"Red wolf head mask, wolf head pattern, you must tell me where they are within a quarter of an hour, otherwise I will lead people to destroy the Yashan Ghost Market."

Taoist Wuwei was panicked for a while, then calmed down.

"It won't take more than a quarter of an hour. I can tell you now."

"They are a few strangers who checked in in the middle of the night last night. Just when I was collecting the escort information, they happened to call the ferry boat to leave Yashan Ghost Market."

Piao Xian'er threw down a few taels of broken silver and pulled Fang Yuan to run towards the hanging cage quickly.

"Chasing~~~"
