"Ah?" Qin Feng and Lian Gouyi both made confused sounds.
Wei Xi grasped the thoughts in his head, "Cheng County Cheng must have used some method to turn the people who were thrown down into sacrifices. I guess this sacrifice or ceremony requires sacrifices such as spiritual stones and elixirs. Designated person!"
"So not everyone can participate in the sacrifice," Wei Xi put the clues together. "Only candidates can participate, and the selected ones will be thrown into the Huan River as sacrifices."
"What about the herbs Lian Gou found?" Qin Feng raised his doubts, "If people are sacrifices, what role do the herbs and spiritual stones play?"
Lian Gouyi thought for a while, "There are sacrifices every year in Baoxiang City. They are dedicated to the God of the Oasis. With the power of the whole city, there are many sacrifices. People in Tangkou Town rely on the Huan River, so more sacrifices are needed." It’s not impossible.”
"There is one thing," Lian Gouyi said puzzledly, "Don't the people of Tangkou Town object to using human sacrifices as human sacrifices? Also, if it is like what Wei Xi said, where is the body?"
"When I was marching with my father," Qin Feng said while holding back his nausea, "sometimes the two sides would throw the corpse into the other side's water source. In order not to be discovered, they might put heavy objects on the corpse, so. .....”
Qin Feng's words reminded the three of them that they also drank Huanhe water, the kind that was drank directly from the entrance of the hall.
"Fortunately, I don't drink water." Lian Gouluo, who had escaped the disaster, said as he looked at Wei and Qin, whose faces were getting ugly.
"What you said makes sense," Wei Xi resisted the urge to vomit. "If the body that was thrown down hit something heavy, it should be found at the bottom of the river; if not, the body should be found downstream by someone downstream. .”
Qin Feng is the one who is most familiar with Ju State’s system among the three. “Tangkou Town is on the main stream of the Huan River, and the lower reaches are densely populated towns and villages. According to the law, if corpses are found floating on the river, they should be salvaged by the nearest county government. Post notices at the harbor.”
"Nearly 20 people from Tangkou Town were thrown into the Huan River in the past six years. Someone will always recognize them as being from Tangkou Town. If they come and go again, they will definitely be noticed."
After hearing what Qin Feng said, Lian Gou Ni said solemnly, "It seems that these corpses are still at the bottom of the river."
"Are we going to Huanhe to touch bones?" Qin Feng asked.
"I didn't dare to go into the water yesterday," Wei Xi thought of the weird gold in the water. "I couldn't find any useful clues even if I felt for bones in the river for a while."
"What we lack most now is time," Qin Feng said a little anxiously, "There is not much time left for us. In addition to the sacrifice to the river, there are also those barbarians who have exchanged so much gold. If they are not detained, Here, after leaving Tangkou Town, it will be difficult to catch them."
Compared with Qin Feng, Wei Xi and Lian Gouyi were more worried about whether Cheng County Cheng would take action against the three of them. After all, the three of them were currently targeting Qin Feng, a half-time monk.
"Miss, we should worry about ourselves now," Lian Gouyi reminded, "Cheng County Cheng has sent people to monitor us. If he finds out that we know about the Hu people and went to find Li Langzhong, he will kill and silence us. possible."
"We are monks," Qin Feng laughed, "What can he do to us?"
"I don't think the Qingcheng sect has the confidence," Lian Gou Ni thought of the leader with a braided beard and worried about his future, "and it's hard to beat four hands with two fists. You can beat him alone." The entire county government?"
"Aren't you two still here?" Qin Feng said matter-of-factly.
"Lian Gou and I combined are not as capable as you." Wei Xi had a clear understanding of his own strength. "My current spiritual power can only cast two arson techniques."
"Then we can't just wait!" Qin Feng said, her eyebrows raised as high as a lynx, Wei Xi and Lian Gou Ni both felt the signs of Qin Feng's anger.
"So we have to be cautious," Lian Gouyi said quickly, "It's definitely not a good idea to go to Huanhe now, and it's all speculation now. We need evidence."
Lian Goupao sent a signal to Wei Xi for help, and Wei Xi said, "The gold I saw last night was just gold flowing across the water. We are going to find the magistrate. The magistrate is obviously an insider."
"Let's go now!" Qin Feng said immediately, "Lian Gouluo! How much have you recovered?"
"Ah?" Lian Gouyi didn't expect this sister to be so mobile. He glanced at Wei Xi and said hesitantly, "It's almost the same, but the spiritual power has not been fully recovered yet, so I can only use it once to enter the painting."
"Wei Xi heard yesterday that the people from the county government wanted to inspect the sacrifices." Qin Feng immediately stood up and started to pack the things he needed to use. "It's past noon. Let's go to the county office and wait until the people from the county government go to inspect the sacrifices. , the defense at the county government office should be empty, we are waiting for an opportunity to go in and look for people."
"There are white cloths inside the county government office," Wei Xi thought of those strange white cloths, "We can't just sneak in like last time."
"What are your ideas? Do you need my help?" Lian Gouyi asked.
Wei Xi glanced at Lian Gouluo and said, "It's really good."
Outside the county government office, Qin Feng held the spirit sound in her hand. When she saw Cheng County Cheng and his people leaving the county government office, she put the spirit sound to her mouth and said, "Go find Wei Xi!"
Lingyin fluttered her wings and flew away. Qin Feng took a deep breath, put on an angry expression, and walked towards the county government office.
"Call your supervisor out!" Qin Feng took out the warning, and the cold light shone on the guard's face, "I want to ask him where he got my fellow disciples!"
Near the back door of the county government office, Lian Goupi was a little embarrassed. Wei Xi handed the spiritual sound to Qin Feng. It was the first time he got along with the mute Wei Xi, neither talking nor talking.
However, the presence of Old God Wei Xi made Lian Gouyi even more embarrassed.
Fortunately, Lingyin flew over, and Lian Goulu watched the blue and fat bird land on Wei Xi's head, holding it tightly with its claws, "You step on me first?"
"No need, I'll keep you alive." After Wei Xi said that, he took out the flying claw from the Qiankun bag, hooked it on the wall and started to climb up. Fortunately, the wall was not too high, so Wei Xi climbed up without much effort.
Wei Xi lay on the wall and glanced at the backyard. It was still covered with white cloth standing upright. Wei Xi cursed in his heart and jumped down.
Seeing that there was nothing unusual about the white cloth, Wei Xi frowned, but it was important to find the magistrate now, so Wei Xi picked up a stone and threw it over the wall.
A moment later, Lian Gou Ni appeared on the wall. Wei Xi learned his lesson and immediately dodged, and Lian Gou Ni landed smoothly.
"Where are we going to find it this time?" Lian Gouyi asked.
Wei Xi pointed to the white cloths that stood up, "These cloths showed our traces last time. Maybe they were not guarding us, but were used to prevent people from escaping. Let's try our luck at the places guarded by these white cloths."
"What were you planning to do?" Lian Gouyi followed Wei Xi.
"I originally planned to go to the kitchen to follow the meal delivery," Wei Xi replied. She had already arrived near the white cloth, but there was no movement on the white cloth beside her. "It's past meal time now."
Lian Gouyi nodded, "Then let's hurry up. Qin Feng doesn't know how long we can delay."
