After confirming that Ji Xinghai was not lying, Jiang Wuji reported everything to King Luo.
After hearing this, the fat-headed fish was ups and downs, and it took a long time to calm down.
"I never expected that a famous person in the world would make such a ridiculous mistake."
Goulan Tingqu told the prostitute about the broken picture... He was probably the only one in the world who did it.
Jiang Wuji was equally helpless, but at least he had a clue.
"Your Highness, according to what Ji Xinghai said, the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen should be hidden somewhere in Tingshui County." Jiang Wuji said.
King Luo pursed his red lips and paced back and forth.
"Tingshui County is close to the East China Sea, and rivers extend in all directions. Most people make a living on this, so they believe in the river god."
"It was indeed raining heavily when Ji Xinghai was arrested a year ago, and the river temple collapsed...hiss, it seems..."
King Luo suddenly remembered something, "It seems that a case was sent to Tingshui County yesterday. Qinghe, please go to Fengming Tower to ask and bring the file."
Qinghe, who was as transparent as a small one, bowed and saluted, responded sweetly and hurriedly left.
When he was young, Qinghe brought back the files.
It simply records a case of strange power and chaos - the water ghost case.
"On the sixth day of July, the Wu family and his wife wanted to go fishing, but their boat sank at Sanxuankou, and no one survived."
"On the tenth day of the seventh month, the Qin family's ship crashed at Sanxuan Pass. Of the thirty-seven people on board, no one survived."
"On the twelfth day of the seventh lunar month, there was a rumor going around that there was a shrill sound coming from Sanxuankou in the middle of the night, and people thought that the ghosts of the dead were causing trouble, so I asked the king of the Heshen Temple to find out. This man was good at water, and he fished out corpses in his early years, but he never came back. Until the Zhongyuan Dynasty, half of his body was found on the shore of Sanxuan Port."
"The corpse was swollen and smelly, and was missing from the waist down..."
After reading the dossier, Jiang Wuji extracted three key points.
Shipwrecked, innocent souls causing trouble, half-broken corpses...
"Where is Sanxuankou?" Jiang Wuji asked with a frown.
He has not unlocked the "Seven Heavenly God Statue" in Tingshui County, so the terrain is still in darkness.
King Luo is in a high position. Although he doesn't like these things, he is still a workaholic in essence.
"The Tianhe River starts from Fanzhou and flows into the East China Sea. The main stream has many branches. The closest route is from Sanxuankou to Haikou. However, due to the steep terrain, merchant ships never take this route, so the local fishermen in Tingshui County take risks to save money. "
To save money? Is it possible that I still have to pay taxes when I go fishing? ...Jiang Wuji's frown deepened.
Perhaps seeing what Jiang Wuji was thinking, King Luo continued: "Although the water transport is in charge of the world's wharfs, the situation varies from place to place. The Tingshui County wharf is basically managed by Shuiyun Villa."
If you think about it a little, you can understand the pros and cons.
Caofu is a state-owned enterprise, subordinate to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but the world is so big that no matter how powerful the empress is, she cannot truly cover the sky with one hand. Therefore, only by finding private companies to cooperate and manage together can we achieve a win-win situation, such as this Shuiyun Villa.
"Could this case be related to Shuiyun Villa?" Jiang Wuji asked.
Sanxuankou is free, but there is a fee at the pier. From an intuitive point of view, Shuiyun Villa will benefit the most from an accident at Sanxuankou.
King Luo frowned slightly, shook his head and said: "Although Shuiyun Villa takes a commission from the docks it manages, it is not much. The owner of the village, Yun Zhiyang, is quite famous in the local area and his cultivation level is at the level of a master."
According to this statement, Shuiyun Villa is not doing things for the sake of KPI...
After deliberation, King Luo raised his eyes and said, "Leave this case to Wu Cong. You can rest for a while. I can send someone to secretly investigate the matter of the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen."
Jiang Wuji seems to have been busy since the financing case. Now he can finally breathe a sigh of relief. King Luo naturally has to be considerate.
However, Jiang Wuji asked back: "Nine Tribulations of Tianmen... Your Highness is really safe to leave it to others to investigate?"
What do you mean, you mean that this king can only trust you? King Luo was a little angry, but his joy and anger didn't show on his face, and he just responded lightly.
"It is indeed chilling that Lin Xiushan went astray, but he is not the only one under my command."
Well, you are right, but this matter is related to whether Lao Deng can get out of the dungeon alive. I don't trust others to handle it.
If the thing is not found and Lao Deng is bitten in turn, Lao Deng may not really want to sit through the bottom of the prison.
I also expect the female thief to give me a massage... After thinking for a moment, Jiang Wuji said: "Your Highness, I'd better leave this case to the humble position."
"you?"
King Luo raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
"I admit that your talent is good, but your current cultivation level... the world is a mixed bag, with chivalrous people and young people. The outside world is no better than the capital city, and we are not the only ones who are eyeing the Nine Tribulations of Tianmen."
Is she worried about me? No, she is mocking me for being a weakling... Jiang Wuji clasped his fists and bowed: "Ji Xinghai will inevitably have contacts in the future. If other people are suddenly involved, Ji Xinghai will be suspicious again."
"Besides, Gu Chaoyan died in Tingshui County. He was humbled by his position and thought... If His Highness really gives Ji Xinghai a way out in the future, he will inevitably lose his temper. But if the case can be reversed, His Highness will gain the reputation of knowing everything."
"As for my cultivation, haha, under the pretext of investigating the water ghost case, I will try to find the treasure in secret. Isn't it just a good way to hide it from others?"
After listening, the fat-headed fish's beautiful eyes burned.
The water ghost case, Ji Xinghai case, including the Tianmen Nine Tribulations remnant map, these three matters can indeed be dealt with.
But what Jiang Wuji said was not only about investigating the case and finding treasures, but also centered on her and considered her from many aspects.
"You...then I will send a golden sword to follow you to protect you?"
If it were anyone else, she would definitely agree to this.
But for Jiang Wuji, Fathead Fish was still worried, and he didn't know why.
No, the female thief might follow, and it would be inconvenient for multiple people... Jiang Wuji declined politely: "Since we want to cover up people's eyes, just one person in a low-level position can do it."
"Why……"
The fat-headed fish sighed, knowing that he could not convince Jiang Wuji, so he asked, "Then when do you plan to set off?"
"Without further delay, we will leave in the near future."
"If this can be accomplished, what reward do you want?"
I want to fish again... Jiang Wuji pretended to be neither humble nor overbearing: "It is a humble honor to share your worries for His Highness."
"Hey~ You are pretty good at flattering people." King Luo said angrily, but he was not really angry. Instead, there was a faint hint of the girl's joy in his eyes.
Seeing Jiang Wuji's righteous expression, the fat-headed fish put on his military uniform and hooked his jade-green fingers.
"Here, give me some pointers on my rain shooting technique."
Jiang Wuji: "Haha..."
…
The dusk is green like a curtain, and the smoke is curling up.
Jiang Wuji's recent actions have made Fengtian Division prosperous.
Several night watchmen gathered together and chatted without a word.
"I didn't expect Jiang Yindao to be so capable. His eyes changed and he became a popular figure in front of King Luo. Why didn't I flatter him before?"
"It's so funny, do you think I really only get to the top by investigating crimes?"
"Huh? What do you mean by this?"
"Are you half handsome?"
"This...is it possible that Jiang Yindao will really become a princess in the future?"
"It doesn't have to be the princess. Maybe your highness wants to raise a handsome person?"
"Hey - I don't want to say this, but my appearance is pretty good..."
At this moment, King Luo's personal maid Qing He happened to pass by.
Qinghe was furious when he heard the words of these sword holders.
Jiang Yindao obviously rose to the top by relying on his strength, okay? To put it harshly, isn't being handsome a kind of strength?
So, she immediately frowned and scolded:
"Don't talk nonsense with your eyes open. Jiang Yindao is very difficult!"
"Sometimes you should look for your own reasons, okay? Has your salary increased over the years? Have you done your job seriously?"
"..."
