Li Chuan listened to their conversation, feeling disgusted and just wanted to end this matter quickly. So after that, without saying a word, he followed Wen Guying's arrangement and went to meet the old woman and her little granddaughter.
They are still living in the inn with the caravan.
When Li Chuan and Wen Guying arrived, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue cotton coat and a coarse cloth belt, directing several boys to move boxes and cages into the carriage.
That man was a steward of the caravan, his surname was Zhang.
After noticing the gazes of Li Chuan and Wen Guying, Manager Zhang turned around. Li Chuan took a few steps forward and asked, "Are you leaving?"
"Yeah, I've been here for a long time, who are you?" Manager Zhang.
Li Chuan told him his identity and purpose of coming.
Manager Zhang saluted and said, "Two adults, please follow me."
Li Chuan and Wen Guying followed him and walked into the inn.
"Are Su Niang and her granddaughter staying here?" Li Chuan asked.
"Su Niang? Are you talking about Mama Pan? She left with us." Manager Zhang peeked at Li Chuan's face and added, "Xialin Village is gone. She is an old woman with a baby alone. Even if Even if you have some money, you can’t keep it. If you follow the caravan, there will always be food for your grandparents and grandchildren.”
"What kind of people are her son and daughter-in-law?"
"Her son, Xiao Chen, is smart. He went to private school for several years and speaks politely. Therefore, the boss likes to bring him with him when dealing with literati. His wife is a bit shrewd, but she also has a good heart. Unexpectedly I got sick last year and died of it all at once."
"What disease is it?"
"At first I thought it was a cold, so I took medicine and rested for a few days, but it turned out that it got worse and worse, and he died within a few days."
"Has the doctor taken a look at it?"
"Originally I thought of inviting someone from the town..."
While talking, Manager Zhang took them to the stables, where a gray-haired woman with a child on her back was brushing the horses.
Li Chuan knew that this was Pan's mother.
Seeing them coming in, Pan's mother stopped what she was doing and turned around.
Her back was a little stooped, and it looked even heavier and more curved with the child on her back. The child on her back had his head tilted on her neck. His face was a little sweaty, his hair was sticky, and he slept soundly.
Manager Zhang introduced the identity and purpose of Li Chuan and Wen Guying, and said, "The two adults ask questions. Please answer them carefully."
Pan's mother agreed.
Could this be a White Walker?
That's ridiculous.
Li Chuan suddenly didn't know why he was here, just to stab this miserable old man again? The huge sense of absurdity made him calm down.
He went through the whole thing in his mind, and he had a plan in his mind.
He said: "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a quieter place."
Reviewing the past should nod in agreement.
The clerk who had been following them and waiting for their orders immediately went to the inn to find a private room, had them cleaned up, and ordered snacks and tea.
Li Chuan glanced blank, pulled Wen Guying aside and said, "After thinking about it, I think it's better to be cautious about this matter."
Wen Guying asked: "Brother Li, what do you think we should do?"
Li Chuan said: "The strange ghost took over the bodies of a whole village. It must have a big plan. And in what year did it start and how many people did it take? There is no accurate statistics. Although your senior brother killed an entire village, There may not be fish that have slipped through the net. And although I hold the title of heir of "The Classic of Patterns", it has not been a year since I came into contact with "The Classic of Patterns", so my conclusion may not be accurate."
"Brother Li makes a lot of sense."
"Daozhang Wen is the senior brother of the Four Gods Palace. I naturally believe what you say." Then Li Chuan told his plan: "I am now an official of Qintian Prison. In my opinion, since this case It’s related to strange ghost magic, and the suspect is a monk, so why not let Qintian Prison be responsible for this case?”
"Brother Li, are you going to take charge of this case?" Wen Guying saw what Li Chuan was thinking.
"I don't have much experience, so I probably can't be responsible, but Qintian Supervisor has a lot of talents, and there should be someone who can resist this matter," Li Chuan's thinking became clearer and clearer, "The White Walkers matter is of great concern, and I don't know if they are planning it secretly. How long, how big is the map, isn't there someone from Xuanmen in Xuanshui Mountain right now? Why don't you, Taoist Wen, ask a few monks who are good at soul arts to help?"
"The reason why we couldn't detect the abnormality of the White Walkers before was because your junior brother concealed too much information, which caused them to investigate in the wrong direction. Now that we have a full understanding, if we continue to investigate, we may be able to discover the truth."
"And it was all your senior brother's personal behavior before. The White Walkers matter is of great importance and may affect Xuanmen and even the fairy world. We can invite more authoritative monks to investigate."
Wen Guying couldn't help but laugh after hearing what Li Chuan said about the importance of the White Walkers. "Brother Li is very meticulous in his actions. I admire him. Then I'll do as you say. Are you going to contact Qin Tian Jian? I'll do it over at Xuanmen." Find someone?"
Wen Guying agreed immediately, which made Li Chuan relieved and a little surprised.
Then he asked: "Daozhang Wen, do you know where the door of Qintian Prison opens?"
"Due east."
"Then please trouble Daoist Wen to make one more trip to Qintian Prison and ask Miss Zhu if she is free."
Wen Guying laughed again and then responded.
Li Chuan's idea is very simple. He must not go see if there is anything wrong with Pan's mother today.
His current understanding of "The Classic of Patterns" is vague and purely based on luck. It's a good thing that he didn't see the abnormality by then. If he wants to see the abnormality, is the abnormality really abnormal, or is it caused by some magic that Wen Guying used? He definitely couldn't tell the difference.
Then we can only expand this matter, and we must seize the initiative in our own hands, and cannot be led away by Wen Guying, so we will talk about the newly obtained identity and involve more high-level affairs. people.
Zhu Qingyun's sincere temperament will definitely not lie.
By that time, if Pan's mother has no problem, then Guan Zhongqiu will be convicted and killed, and no one will be able to save him in Spring. If there is a problem, there is strength in numbers and we can solve the problem together, and the merit is immeasurable.
Wen Guying asked the clerk to inform the caravan that they would need to stay here for a while, and told them not to worry about the cost, and also arranged a residence for Pan Ma's grandparents.
Then they entered the private room together.
When the child woke up, Pan's mother broke up the snacks on the table to feed her. When she saw them coming in, she stood up uneasily and almost knocked over the cup.
Li Chuan quickly asked her to sit down and said, "Mother Pan, we are just here to ask a few questions. Do you know the murderer?"
Pan's mother opened her mouth, looking like she wanted to cry but couldn't. "You know it, is it because of me that this disaster happened?"
