Jiang Yu opened the stopper of the porcelain bottle, and the elixir inside released a medicinal fragrance.
It is a top-grade elixir for restoring spiritual energy, and there is nothing unusual about it.
"Mr. Bai, you could have found the young yamen servant who just left, asked for help from the Yuling Mansion, or asked for help from your own people in the Bai family. Why did you find someone who just fought with you?"
Bai Xiu's eyes flickered and he said harshly: "Because you are quite powerful."
"Aren't you afraid that I'll trick you when the time comes?"
Jiang Yu threw away the porcelain bottle in his hand. There were a lot of high-quality elixirs in it, and it would be enough to use them as a reward. Lady Bai Sanniang was very happy.
She was silent for a while: "Since Qianhe can bring you into the Xiao family, it means that he believes in you. Although I don't believe you, I believe in him. Besides, I can't defeat you. With your help, I may be able to find out some relevant information." clues."
"Don't get me wrong, I, Bai Xiu, only respect the strong. If I find you using demon spirits to do evil, I will arrest you even if you go to the ends of the earth!"
Although he is a little tough-talking, he is really flexible and flexible.
Jiang Yu put his hands on his hands and smiled: "Just to tell the boss that I'm awesome, that's all. I'll have a hand in this matter."
Bai Xiu stood up, clasped his fists and said: "Lin'an Bai family, Bai Xiu, courtesy name Lingyun, the third in the family, you can call me whatever you want."
"Dengxian Pavilion Jiang Yu comes from Shu."
Jiang Yu returned the favor and poured out the elixir from the bottle from Shanruliu and drank it. Bai Xiu had a smile on his face.
"Then I won't talk nonsense. You adjust your breath first and let me clean up before setting off to Chang'anlin."
The two of them did not delay for a long time. After Jiang Yu recovered his spiritual energy and relieved Elder Feng's stiffness, they went out one after another. The young yamen waiting earlier looked at him in surprise as an unknown person walked out. The man looked at his immediate boss and didn't look any different. He didn't dare to ask, so he could only make another trip and bring a horse over.
Chang'anlin is more than twenty miles away from Lin'an City. Jiang Yu and his party kept a low profile. They left the city through the nearest North City Gate, set off from the official road on horseback, and arrived at the scene of the crime in less than half an hour.
The people from Yuling Mansion arrived faster than them. There was a monster hunter who was responsible for the barrier to control the entrance and exit. When they saw several people coming on horseback, they turned the compass in their hands and opened the entrance.
Two people quickly ran out.
"Mr. Bai, you are here!"
Jiang Yu got off his horse and turned around to see Bai Xiu walking over quickly, talking to several young officials in Yuling Mansion about what was going on here.
"...We received the news at Mao Shi. Some people walked out of the city from the North City Gate to Chang'anlin and saw the tragic situation here."
The young yamen servant spoke quickly and did not notice Jiang Yu approaching them.
"This is the helper I hired, Jiang Yu."
Bai Xiu raised his chin: "Lin Ditang, Li Tianqing, my right-hand man."
The young Yamen servant who was talking endlessly was stunned for a moment. He was poked in the arm by his companion next to him before he came to his senses. The two of them bowed and said, "Hello, Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Yu was a little flattered: "I'm just here to assist Master Bai, don't pay too much attention to me."
"In that case, let's talk as we walk." Xiaoyamen Lin Ditang motioned to his companions who were guarding the barrier. After the four of them entered the barrier, the barrier was immediately closed.
Chang'an Forest is a forest of luan trees. In the cold winter months, the leaves are dry, and there is snow in the forest. The fallen leaves are rotten, and the fishy smell of earth mixed with the faint smell of blood makes people feel uncomfortable.
Jiang Yu looked up and saw a string of withered lanterns hanging on the dry branches of the tree.
"Two carriages were attacked, eight people were killed, and four were injured. They all fainted and have not yet woken up. The dead have been sent to Yizhuang and have been hired as widowers. There is no news yet."
Lin Ditang calmed down and saw his brothers busy searching for clues in the forest. "Tian Qing and I led people to search in the forest and made several discoveries. Chief Bai, come this way. When we arrive..."
Jiang Yu followed a few people forward and looked back at the place.
Although the people were sent away, the overturned carriage was still there. The horses were gone. The beams of the carriage were probably broken when the carriage turned over. There were signs of being torn on the curtains, but there were no traces on the wooden frame. trace.
She glanced around and saw that there were six or seven people in the barrier rummaging the ground for possible clues, but most of them found nothing.
"Jiang Yu?"
Bai Xiu turned around and frowned slightly: "Did you find anything?"
Jiang Yu walked over with some time, and the red moles under his fox eyes were faintly hot: "It's nothing, just looking at it."
"Master Jiang, you can take a look. We really can't find a clue now." Lin Ditang was a little melancholy, "Six of the eight people who died had their stomachs emptied out and their blood was almost drained. The other two were The heart was ripped out, but we couldn't find the missing heart nearby. Although we suspect that it was caused by evil spirits, the spiritual energy in this place is very abnormal, and the compass is messed up in this place."
He took out a compass from his arms, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches on it were spinning in different directions without stopping.
Bai Xiu rubbed the corners of her eyes with a headache: "Have you ever tried resentment?"
"Back to Mr. Bai, we tried it, and there is no resentment here." Li Tianqing stood up and led a few people forward, approaching the overturned carriage. "In this place, except for the dead and injured people and the overturned carriage, The overturned carriage showed almost no trace of a fight, as if they suddenly died suddenly here."
"It can't be a sudden death. There should be clues here."
Bai Xiu lifted the car curtain, and the smell of blood hit her face, which made her face look very ugly.
"Can we just wait for those four people to wake up and interrogate them?"
Jiang Yu stood next to the overturned car door and raised his hand to touch the wet door frame. The pattern of auspicious clouds was carved on it and it was still very smooth.
She twirled her fingers and said softly: "Don't wait so long, something is wrong here."
Bai Xiu looked back at her and asked doubtfully, "Have you discovered anything?"
"It's too humid here."
Jiang Yu let go of his hand and looked at the entire interior of the carriage. The curtains at the windows were disconnected, reflecting the high-hanging sunlight. There were large red blood stains in the car. The smell of blood mixed with the smell of rotting water was nauseating.
She took a step back: "In this cold winter, there shouldn't be such a strong smell of water inside the carriage. The smell of blood inside is too strong, but as long as you get close to the door frame, you will smell the rotten smell. "
Bai Xiu followed her words, lowered his head and smelled it, and his expression changed.
It really smells like this!
"We are all practitioners. It is okay to think from the perspective of a practitioner, but some small things may be ignored."
Jiang Yu squatted down, peeled off dead branches and leaves from under the broken beam of the car, and picked out a dark thing. When everyone took a closer look, they discovered that it was a piece of dark green algae, some of which was already frozen.
She took a sip of white smoke, turned to the young Yamen servant and asked, "Brother Ditang, is there a small river near Chang'an Forest?"
The latter said without thinking: "Yes! There is a Qingdai River three miles west of Chang'anlin. The water there is very deep and there is almost no ice in winter!"
"In this case, we might as well go to the Qingdai River." Jiang Yu and Bai Xiu looked at each other, and both of them breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe we will find something."
